Chapter 4: Chance Emerges
Before dark, Li Zheng finally went down the mountain and was found by the guards in the palace to answer.
When the ninth princess heard the news, she rushed over, saw Li Zhen, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug him and said, "Husband, you are not injured, are you?
Li Zhen patted her on the back and said with relief: "I'm fine, thanks to Senior Brother Zhu for coming in time." ”
Only then did the ninth princess notice the sloppy Taoist, and stepped forward to salute: "I wish senior brother." ”
The sloppy Taoist burped, waved his hand and said, "Since it's okay, I'll go first." ”
With that, an ape jumped onto the top of a tree on the side of the road, and in the blink of an eye, he took a shortcut to the north.
His mind was released, and there seemed to be an invisible wind around him, and the rain turned into powder beside him, and the ignorant mountain people saw it, and they must have thought that it was an immortal who was driving the clouds.
"Come as you say, go as you say, feel at ease!" Li Zhen looked up and was envious.
But when he finally rushed back, he had a fever, and ordinary people were inevitably suffering from calamities and diseases, and they were far less comfortable than monks.
Although Li Zhen is young, he was born to rise all the way, rich and powerful, but can be called delicate, this toss, no accident got a small illness.
At night, in the huge Jin Ping Rosewood ivory bed, Li Zhen rested under the quilt, and he still felt that the world was spinning.
Half-asleep and half-awake, the soul floated up and could see the surrounding scene.
Yarn, brocade tents, cabinets, bottles and jars...... The furnishings in the room are all available, just like the eyes, and the sound can be vaguely heard, as if the ninth princess is telling someone to make medicine.
Li Zhen gradually realized that something was wrong: "This is the release of divine consciousness?"
How could he release his divine consciousness without the help of believing in spiritual incense?
In the darkness, there seems to be a spiritual light, with his body as the center, it continues to spread outward, until it spreads ten zhang away before stopping.
This is already the level of a monk in the early stage of Qi refining, and in the past, it was impossible for Li Zhen to meditate even with the help of Xinling incense, so he only had to be within the range.
Li Zhen was very curious in his heart, and he searched everywhere, and it was really as if he had been there, and all kinds of things were meticulously revealed.
The most conspicuous should be the Ninth Princess, who is a cultivator in the early stage of Qi refining, she is shrouded in spiritual light, and she can be faintly seen through several walls, compared to the people, the people are much dimmer.
At this moment, Li Zhen suddenly noticed that there seemed to be many ethereal things as thin as gossamer wriggling in the air, all of which took on the form of silk threads manifested by thoughts.
But they don't have a source like their own thoughts, but seem to appear out of nowhere.
Li Zhen's thoughts leaned closer, but he immediately found that it had merged with his own divine thoughts, and they were no longer separated from each other.
"My thoughts...... It's getting stronger!"
"What is this thing that can strengthen my mind?"
Li Zhen inexplicably remembered the monk's method of refining spiritual energy, remembered the spiritual root qualification, and the opportunity of the immortal path, and couldn't help but tremble in his body, his mood was agitated, and he swallowed hundreds of gossamers in one breath, but he still felt unfinished.
This kind of thing seems to be renewable, and it is actually emerging from the void in a steady stream, but not in as many as before.
The growth of divine thoughts reminded Li Chen of the monk's ability to drive away things, control flying swords, and try to carry objects, but this time, he immediately frowned secretly.
"Can't even move a vase?"
Well, vases don't work, try paper, it's also as heavy as Tarzan.
I finally saw a strand of hair on the comb in the corner of the dressing table that I didn't have time to clean, and as a result, it couldn't be shaken either.
Li Zhen's dough burned badly, so he quickly put it down and began to look for more subtle dust and other things.
After a lot of effort, Li Zhen finally figured out that his divine soul was indeed a little different, and it seemed that he was stimulated, and finally strengthened to be able to release it on his own like a monk.
But the power of the divine mind is still about zero, perhaps a unit much smaller than a milligram, which can only be measured in micrograms.
"No wonder even hair can't be shaken, hair is also a behemoth at the microscopic level, weighing hundreds of micrograms, and the hair on the makeup table should be green silk, up to the waist, and even has to be used as a unit of milligrams. ”
Suddenly, Li Zhen felt that his body was as light as nothing, and he tried to move, but he left his body like smoke, and then floated up.
He subconsciously lowered his head and saw himself lying on the bed, and couldn't help but be more and more surprised.
This is the out-of-body spirit recorded in the Tao Sutra!
"What's the matter, this is not only the release of consciousness, but also out of the body?"
"Isn't this something that can only be done in the Yuanying realm? Even the current ancestors don't have such skills!"
The monks of this world, the realm above the primordial infant can be out of the body.
To be precise, the first is the night tour, because the nature of the ghost is like a ghost, afraid of flames, thunder and lightning, and even more afraid of the glorious sun.
After cultivating to a high level, you can try a day trip, because your own cultivation is positive, you can not avoid the sun during the day, and you are not afraid of ordinary flames and thunder.
At that time, the Yuan Infant Spirit Body was no different from the real entity, and it could even transform Yin and Yang, feed the flesh and blood with the power of the Yang God, and the flesh and blood of the powerful masters, and the supernatural means such as blood rebirth were all cultivated according to this principle.
But no matter what kind of means the powerful masters have, it is still inconceivable that the mortal realm can go out of the body on their own.
Li Zhen has never experienced this state, if it is said that the sloppy Taoist can soar and leap forward, crossing various terrains and walking on the ground, it can be called a small freedom, then this kind of out-of-body that can ignore the limitations of the physical body is great freedom, which is a skill that only a great monk can have!
Li Zhen carefully looked at his own body with his eyes closed, and then looked at the maids who were keeping vigil not far away, floating in front of them, and then observed the things in the room from different angles, only feeling extremely novel.
Li Zhen tried to reach out and touch them, only to feel that there was an invisible barrier to block them, but the other party didn't seem to react, maybe the force exerted was negligible, and it could only be reflected after the growth of divine thoughts.
Other objects are capable of piercing through the past like ghosts.
But the lights in the room were a little dazzling, and he wanted to avoid them for some reason.
Walking out of the door, he came to the courtyard and looked up, but he felt that the world around him was vast, as if he was shrouded in an endless thick black fog, and only the ten zhang range of the divine consciousness and spiritual light could be seen.
This is not at all the scene seen by the ordinary naked eye, within more than ten zhang, the sensing range of the divine consciousness is transparent and bright, like a torch illuminating, but the outside is like an abyss, and the boundless darkness makes people instinctively fear in their hearts for no reason.
According to the records in the Tao Sutra, even high-level monks, there is a risk that the fugue is too void, and if they can't come back from an accident, they will become a lonely ghost or even die.
"The limit of the out-of-body soul is the spirit body, and ordinary monks who have cultivated to this point already have a very wide sensing range, and they can soar and change, entering and exiting the netherworld, but I can't do it now. ”
Li Zhen thought about it and didn't rashly start a long journey.
Although he was familiar with the road near the bedroom, he tried it, and there seemed to be an inexplicable air flow covering it, and it was difficult to climb too high, and he could only float a few feet above the ground, and his speed was not fast, only walking and jogging as usual.
If you go far away, you will encounter a stream of flames and flames, and it will inevitably be dangerous.
And the current power of divine thought is indeed too weak, it is useless, so it is better to think about how to improve it first.
For a few days, Li Zhen seemed to be resting in bed, but he was actually groping for research.
It turns out that the hairspring sometimes appears and sometimes disappears, and there does not seem to be any exact pattern.
After being devoured, the number of new students varies, sometimes hundreds or thousands, sometimes only a few.
However, after merging with the thoughts, the effect of the buffs is real, and the power of the thoughts begins to change dramatically.
This really made Li Zhen experience the feeling of refining aura.
Most of the monks have complete spiritual roots, refining the five elements, and in this way, they integrate them into the thoughts of the divine soul, so that they can grow, manifest, and condense the essence.
So far, he has been able to carry a few milligrams of weight, and he has no problem driving a hair of his own out of thin air, and the progress is so great that it can be called earth-moving.
"But what are these threads, where do they come from, and how do they multiply?"
"It doesn't seem difficult to devour and melt, if it's not thousands, but billions, trillions, maybe I'll be reborn soon, comparable to a real monk!"
As the so-called Long Wangshu, Li Zhen was happy for a long time, but he became worried.
After observation, he found that no matter the size or thickness of these gossamers, and the specific properties were not studied deeply, they could increase the power of divine thoughts in micrograms, one milligram per thousand, and one million per gram.
But that's too little.
It took a few days to refine a few thousand, and a million to two or three years, and only one gram of telekinesis was grown.
The distance of the divine consciousness is released, the strength, speed, and supernatural ability after the divine soul is out of the body, all of which are all unified, or maybe they are so weak that they can barely detect the change, what use can they be?
It is absolutely impossible to go on like this, we must find its true source!
Another night, Li Zhen used the excuse to test the ninth princess: "Have you noticed that there is something extra in this room?"
The ninth princess's expression was slightly sluggish: "Husband, why do you ask that?"
Li said: "I always feel that something is floating around me. ”
The ninth princess stretched out her hand to probe his forehead, and then released her divine sense to sense, and said, "No, husband, don't think nonsense, just take care of your illness." ”
Li Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, he didn't ask any more.
"Qingsi's divine sense can't perceive them, and all the Taoist scriptures and classics that I've read before have never recorded this phenomenon, so it shouldn't be related to the methods of other monks. ”
"Perhaps, I don't rely on my divine sense to see, but I have the talent to smell incense!"
Thinking about it like this, Li Zhen suddenly felt that he might have taken a detour, so he tried to calm down and meditate, and entered a hazy, half-dreaming and half-awake clear realm.
Sure enough, this time, it seemed to smell the smell of incense, candles, and fireworks from the void, as well as the texture of truth reduction and agarwood.
"It's the smell of aroma!"
"It's so faint that it's almost imperceptible, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's the fireworks after lighting the incense!"
"These gossamers have something to do with incense?"
Li Zhen did not think that it was the molecule or atom of the fragrance, because his talent was to visualize the smell, and the essence of the fragrance belonged to the spiritual realm.
Suddenly, Li Zhen remembered the essence of incense.
Incense can be quiet, and faith has spirit.
Since ancient times, all the people burn wood to burn incense, sacrifice and pray, all with incense as a guide, which was originally to pray and pray, and to worship the gods.
He passed on the spiritual incense to this world, secretly conforming to the Tao, so that the monk could use it to refine his soul.
Could it be that these gossamers are the key to the reason why the spirit incense can help refine the soul?
They themselves contain some kind of spiritual-sharpening quality, or a special energy similar to aura.
Although Li Zhen is not sure what it is, he has already had relevant speculations, but he has not developed his talent to the extent that he is now, so there is no way to explore.
"If that's the case, then it's really terrible!"
But soon, Li Zhen's originally excited mind gradually calmed down.
He found that this was completely an out-of-body achievement based on the particularity of his natural talents, and he himself did not have any cultivation realm, so many of the supernatural powers recorded in the Taoist scriptures could not be used.
Moreover, you don't need a spiritual root to cultivate, and just mortals can go out of your body, how amazing is it that these are passed out?
When the ancestor learned about it, he didn't know what he would think.
"The husband is not guilty, he is guilty, and before he has the power to protect himself, it is better to make a fortune quietly. ”
In the early morning of the next day, Li Zhen, who was in a state of turmoil, got up early, stopped the maid who wanted to ask, and said softly: "Don't make a noise to the princess, I'll go out for a walk." ”
Then he got up, dressed, and walked out.
The second housekeeper, the prince and the servants, had already risen to duty, and what Li Zhan saw along the way seemed to have some more family members.
This is the defense force that the Ninth Princess added to the mansion after the incident that day.
They seem to be strong, but in fact, they are well-deserved elites in the army, and they can be used as personal soldiers.
But Li Zhen understood that what was really trustworthy was a magic weapon sent by the ancestor a few days ago, called the Alarm Heart Bell.
It is a low-grade magic weapon, and it has the function of triggering an alarm associated with the prohibition of the simple magic circle.
However, any artifact that has entered the flow grade can be regarded as valuable to a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, even if it is only of the lower grade.
Old Ancestor also seemed to realize that the secret leak must be watched by, but it was not realistic to send other Qi Refining Cultivators to protect Li Zhen closely, he was not important enough to that extent, so he could only let the Ninth Princess take on this role.
With this thing, the ninth princess can finally sleep well with peace of mind, and she doesn't have to talk about it all the time.
When the prince saw Li Zhen, he came over to salute and reminded: "Master Ma, it's not very peaceful outside right now, if you want to go out, remember to bring your Highness with you." ”
Li Zhen said: "If you don't go out today, I'll just walk around the house casually, by the way, you ask someone to bring the incense burner and Xinling incense that I put in the Hanxiang Pavilion, and I'll use it later." ”
The prince said: "Yes, but I don't know which stove and how many pieces of incense?"
Li Zhen said: "Just have an incense burner, if you have incense...... Bring everything that is on the shelf. ”
He plans to do some experiments to verify yesterday's findings.
