Chapter 8: A Corner of Heaven and Man
Taking advantage of the leisure time in the afternoon, Chu Yu locked the door and sat quietly on the bed, trying to cultivate the spiritual secret.
Although the threshold for the start of the spirit storage technique is the foundation building period, the method on how to pry the spiritual power in it, the qi refining period should also be available.
But this time he was not as lucky as before, no matter how he tried to realize his thoughts, there was no fluctuation in his body.
The physical condition is different now than when he was first caught on the ship. At that time, although the cultivation was sealed, the spiritual power was still there, and now the dantian is empty.
Chu Yu knew that he was in a bit of a hurry. How do you know that in this unknown land far from your homeland, if the Dao Fa can have the same effect as before?
Furthermore, whether there is spiritual power here or not is a matter of two theories.
She had previously fallen into a state of mind, taking it for granted that this place was as full of aura as Feng Yuanxing. But the actual situation is probably that there is no aura at all here, and it is a bad land for cultivators.
For those monks who survived the spaceship, getting rid of their conventional thinking and remaining cautious and reflective may be their greatest wealth.
I can't dig here for a lifetime, I always have to find a way to leave. The key to leaving is to restore cultivation, so that you can get rid of the slave ring and resist those powerful celestial weapons.
And the key to restoring cultivation is spiritual power. Find a way to replenish your spiritual power!
In addition to this, there is also a need to know more about everything in this world.
There is too little information available. She is now like a farmer who has just entered the city, she doesn't understand anything, and everything is fresh.
Spaceship, Golden Light, Black Mirror, Weapons...... Only when you thoroughly understand what these powers are, can you control them in the future.
The decision has been made, and Chu Yu's mind has calmed down.
Something suddenly occurred to her, and she suddenly jumped off the bed, and stood in a strange position, her mouth moving.
It didn't take long for his upper body to feel a tingling and cold feeling through his body, and Chu Yu was overjoyed, knowing that he had succeeded.
This is the "ghost summoning technique" she once tried on the spaceship, when they were exiled in the sky, and now they have returned to the earth, and they have succeeded in one fell swoop.
She has no cultivation now, so she can't see the true form of the "ghost", but the familiar cold feeling will definitely not be wrong.
Broadly speaking, the ghosts in the world can be roughly divided into three types: heaven, earth and man:
When the body dies and the soul fails to enter reincarnation for some reason, it is called a human ghost; A man-made thing made by condensing ghost qi by magic, it is called a land ghost; The time and place are all right, and those that are bred and evolved in the Jedi are called heavenly ghosts.
There is no high or low level between these three types of ghosts. Now that Guy has become a ghost, the three souls and seven spirits must not be complete. In other words, there is a sense of autonomy, but it is chaotic, and only a resentment or obsession can survive in the world. However, if the obsession is too deep, or if you have gained some kind of creation, you will turn into a powerful ghost, and you can consciously devour other ghosts to strengthen yourself, and even cultivate Taoism.
What Chu Yu summoned just now should be a kind of human ghost. It's a pity that you can summon but can't drive it, and if you don't repair it, it's all in vain.
But this is also a very valuable attempt, and the success of the spell at least shows that Lingyuan Star and Fengyuan Star are similar to each other to some extent.
Since the ghost summoning technique is feasible, there must be other subtle methods that do not require spiritual power.
Chu Yu's mind turned sharply, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. On the way of cultivation, there are thousands of Taoism, alchemy tools, talisman formations, and they are all complicated and vast as a sea of smoke when you take them out.
Wait, formation...... Maybe it works!
Although she has a slight dabbling in formations, she is not proficient in them.
But it's okay, she doesn't understand, and there are others who do.
Bai Yuejian, as the highest cultivator of the Tianyin Sect, in addition to her strong strength, she was also extremely accomplished in the field of formations. For example, the Tianyin Sect's Sect Protector Great Array, under her improvement, its power has increased by as much as one percent.
Don't underestimate this achievement, the Tianyin Sect Protector Sect Great Array was created by the first generation of sect masters, and it has stood with the sect for thousands of years, and those who can improve it can count it on one hand, which is enough to confirm her attainments in the formation.
Chu Yu turned over and got out of bed and ran to the hut where the senior sister was.
The two of them live not far away, each room is numbered, and it is also their name plate in this mine, Chu Yu is 43, Bai Yuejian is 49, and there are five huts in between.
Chu Yu knocked on the door at the door, heard the greeting of the senior sister, and directly pushed the door and walked in. As a result, the moment I entered the room, I saw a strong wind in front of me, and the whole person seemed to have walked into the fog!
In the next second, everything in front of her changed back to the way it was, and the senior sister was sitting cross-legged on the bed and looking at Chu Yu with a smile.
"Senior sister, this is ......" Chu Yu's eyes lit up, and then he saw small pieces of gravel under his feet.
The gravel is placed according to a certain law, horizontally or vertically, orderly in chaos, and it looks like a small formation.
"Little Maze Array." Senior Sister Bai spoke.
"I just wanted to ask about the formation, senior sister, you have really started to try. Except for the Little Mystery Formation, what about the other formations? ”
Senior Sister shook her head:
"I've also thought of some other basic formations, such as the Spirit Gathering Array and the Pure Heart Array...... But it's not as simple as the Lost Array. Either you need the specified materials, or you need spirit stones or communication aura, and these conditions are not met now. This is still the case with small formations, not to mention more powerful formations. ”
"But I have other ideas. Since the Lost Array is feasible, it may be possible to improve it......"
"I knew that Senior Sister, you were the best!"
"Come less," Senior Sister smiled and pinched Chu Yu's face, "What about you?" ”
Chu Yu pondered for a moment and said something about the spirit preservation technique.
There's nothing to hide, the Soul Saving Recipe is very chicken for her now, it's better to give it to the senior sister for enlightenment, and the two of them may be able to make a breakthrough with their concerted efforts.
Now that he is a prisoner, isolated and helpless, and has lost all his cultivation and become mortals, unity is the best policy, and one more person is more strength.
Moreover, she can trust her senior sister. In addition to the long-deceased master and father, the senior sister is the closest person in the world.
"This method of preserving the spirit seems plain and simple, but I always feel that there is another mystery between the words, and it is not as simple as it seems. Don't give up yet, it might come in handy later. But your method of summoning ghosts, tell me more carefully. ”
Chu Yu explained in detail, and the more Senior Sister Bai listened, the brighter her eyes became.
"Good, good. In this way, this little maze array can add a lot of changes. I'm going to try. ”
Senior sister is good at everything, but as soon as she studies the formation, she forgets to sleep and eat, and turns day and night upside down.
Chu Yu stuck out his tongue, turned around and walked out of the room. Then he rolled his eyes and wandered around the slave dwellings.
She has never been the kind of ascetic who has been closed for a hundred years, and she will not sit idly by.
Most of the prefabricated houses had closed doors, but there were also many prisoners who came out of the rooms and gathered outside in twos and threes to talk to each other.
Chu Yu staggered around, and was familiar with all the people who took care of him, and occasionally walked to interject a few sentences, and touched the number of roads in this place.
The annex where the chief lived was in the west, the place where the slaves were kept in the east, the mine in the north, and the gate in the south. There is a guard tower in each of the east, south and west directions, and it is on duty day and night to monitor the four directions.
The prefabricated rooms in the shelter are arranged longitudinally from north to south, twenty rooms and one vertical, a total of twelve vertical and 240 rooms, and there are about 100 new prisoners, plus those who have already been imprisoned, just 240 people.
"So we're filling in the previous vacancy. Where did the original hundred or so go? ”
"Beauty, are you kidding us? What can happen to slaves! A big man beat his chest in front of Chu Yu, and kept saying things like "I was wronged" to others.
"Okay, okay, I got it. So what can I do, you think I just want to come in? Ask for more blessings. The entangled man said impatiently.
"The best ending is to be bought, and I have to pray that the one who bought me is a good man with a good heart, don't escape with great difficulty, and in the end it is not as good as a mine slave."
"I don't want to be a mining slave...... "Brother Wronged cried so much that it rained.
"You said you are a big man, can you be stronger!"
"Strong fart! In this world, wearing a slave ring is not as good as a pig! Now there are white porridge and biscuits waiting, wait a few days, do you think the surname Zou will care about our life and death? ”
Brother Wronged's words silenced everyone, and many people looked confused and sighed again and again.
In such a gossip conversation, a huge civilization gradually unveiled its mystery in front of Chu Yu.
In the vast sea of stars, there is a galaxy called "Dragon Earth", and the celestial people are the masters of Dragon Land.
The Celestials have established a glorious civilization in the Dragon Land, and they worship the power of "technology", adventure and conquest. With the help of technology, they have built spaceships and warships that can soar in space, and continue to expand outward with overwhelming technology and weapons to expedition the sea of stars.
The "empty sea" where everyone is located today is a new galaxy discovered by the celestial civilization. Because of the large number of planets and the abundance of resources, they are planned as new development zones, and some companies are responsible for the development of these planets.
These companies are subordinate to the higher-level "General Directorate of Interstellar Exploration", but they have a great deal of freedom in the management of their planets. In Lingyuan Star, Yali Company is the supreme king.
Everyone is equal in the civilization of heaven and man, and that being said, there is only one group of people, and that is the slaves.
The moment he put on the slave ring, he was demoted from a "person" to a slave, and became an "object" to be slaughtered.
Slaves are either alien barbarians from the defeated star, or prisoners who have committed serious crimes, who have no sppend, can be bought at will, become laborers, or become the playthings of the rich, and have little good end.
There is a proverb in Longdi: "I'd rather be a ghost under a knife than a slave in the ring."
The meaning is very simple, that is, I would rather be hacked to death by someone than become a slave and let people do mermaid meat. It is enough to testify to the tragic fate and cruel life of the slaves.
Receiving too much information at once, Chu Yu was dizzy when he heard it, and he only hated that he had no spiritual power, otherwise it would be much more convenient to use the soul searching technique directly.
"So this, this General Bureau of Interstellar Exploration Affairs, is the person at the highest level among the celestials?"
"How is that possible?"
Brother Wronged saw that Chu Yu didn't understand anything, and only thought that she was a young alien barbarian, so he didn't spare his tongue
"The Interstellar Directorate is only responsible for development-related affairs, and the top level you are talking about should be the Grand Council."
"The Great House?"
Ah, my head is so itchy, it looks like I'm about to grow a brain.
"Well, it's divided into the upper house and the lower house. It's a lot more complicated to talk about. Little sister, why don't you give me two cigarettes, and I'll give you a detailed explanation. ”
Chu Yu naturally understood what this person meant, and she had gradually become familiar with the situation here.
The common currency of the Celestials is a paper money that is measured in yuan. But in the mine's shelter, money is of little use, and cigarettes are hard currency.
Prisoners privately traded cigarettes for things that were useful to them, soap and cloth, and so on.
"Let's go back, thank you, brother wronged."
Chu Yu jumped away, leaving a confused wronged brother scratching his head, why did he have an extra nickname?
I know a lot of things today, and she needs to sort them out carefully, so she can tell her senior sister about them later.
She also knew what the so-called "flying sword" meant, which was a contemptuous term for cultivators like herself, in the eyes of the heavenly people, cultivators were all classified as barbarians, and they were decadent and backward.
Chu Yu was faintly puzzled and felt that something was wrong.
Since the celestials don't practice and only study technology, why are these techniques so aimed at cultivators?
