Hehuan Wonderland Section 7, Jiang Yichen
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Si Dao's life is very regular, listening to his uncle's lectures every morning, taking care of Lingtian in the afternoon, and practicing seriously in the evening. Occasionally, he would wander around under the lanterns. This fairyland is so beautiful that you won't get tired of looking at it.
Cheng Yang looked for him every day to answer his cultivation puzzles, and also provided Linggu to Si Dao. The Spirit Valley is the spiritual food distributed daily by the innate disciples. Si Dao is an acquired disciple, and he can only take "Bigu Dan" instead of three meals.
Si Dao is already familiar with the world. Of course, he knew that the energy he had been exposed to before was actually spiritual power. The energy contained in the spirit stone and the spirit valley is also spiritual power.
As an acquired disciple, Si Dao was actually just a mortal, and he had not really stepped into the path of cultivating immortals at all. His body contained impurities, which could only hold qi, but not spiritual power.
The acquired disciples cannot directly absorb the spiritual power, and can only reduce the spiritual power in the spiritual stone to qi. In this process, most of the spiritual power will be wasted.
Despite this, the sect still provides a spirit stone for the acquired disciples every month.
And the reason why Cheng Yang provided Linggu was because Linggu's spiritual power was easier to transform. The feeling of fullness will also make people feel refreshed.
I have to say that Cheng Yang is a very good friend. Si Dao has never seen such a "stupid" person.
The day before yesterday, Si Dao rejected Cheng Yang's kindness and did not accept Linggu. He vaguely admonished Cheng Yang that he should focus on the avenue and not be trapped by others.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yang said: "If you want to cultivate immortals, then I don't want to cultivate." ”
The other party's words were so blocked that Si Dao was speechless. At that time, Si Dao realized for the first time that although Cheng Yang was stupid, he was a very remarkable person.
It was also at that time that Si Dao once again hated his incompetence, why he failed to break through the innate realm in the last Cold Spring cultivation. For the first time since coming to this world, Si Dao felt anxious.
It was in this mood that he came to Hanquan River again. This time, he came here alone. Because, he wants to try the cold spring in the river. And this is what Cheng Yang does not allow.
His face was still so calm, as if nothing could affect him. But after all, his heart still rippled.
He was a little afraid, but he still stood in front of Zhonghe. He only had one spirit stone, and he didn't want to waste more spirit stones.
Striking a special pose, Si Dao cautiously stepped into the middle river. At that moment, endless cold air poured into his exorcism, as if it was about to freeze his whole body. A thin layer of frost appeared around him. The qi in the body does not have any effect of resistance at all. The cold air is close to the heart, and there is no time to react at all.
Such a terrifying cold will directly take Si Dao's life. The Cold Spring River is not an existence that can be touched by the disciples of the day after tomorrow at all, and the danger in it is much more terrifying than imagined. This is not a lie, but the truth.
If there is no accident, Si Dao will be completely frozen and then die.
At this critical moment, Xihe seemed to have a sense, flashing a ray of light, pushing Si Dao directly out of the river.
During the whole period, Si Dao still maintained his posture. He relied on his instinct to run "Spring Heart" to drive away the cold. After a few hours, he finally forced the cold air out of his body. The frost on the surface of his body turned into moisture, and when he came back to his senses, his forehead was covered with sweat.
After a long time, he realized that the world was different. The world has changed. To be precise, Si Dao broke through the realm.
Under the pressure of the cold qi, the qi condensed more and more, and finally broke through the node and condensed into a liquefied spirit. Now, Si Dao's body is no longer a breath of qi, but spiritual power. He held the dry spirit stone in his hand and felt the trace of spiritual power.
This time, the spiritual power in the spirit stone was directly transmitted into his body, and there was almost no waste, and the efficiency was terrifying.
He felt that the spiritual power in his body was very weak, far less than the previous qi. However, he was convinced that he was more than ten times stronger. The feeling of being powerful is wonderful.
The only thing that makes people feel surprising is that after stepping into the innate world, after having spiritual power, Si Dao felt that the "Heaven and Earth Plunder" became more obvious. In the process of practice, many spiritual powers disappear out of thin air. This is the same as described in the book, but it is still surprising.
This surprise flashed for a moment. Because the priest's attention is focused on the "spirit." For the first time, he felt the "spirit", the "spirit" between heaven and earth.
The "spirit" is an ethereal existence. Even the "spirit" directly absorbed from the spirit stone is just a layer of warmth and energy in the senses.
But now, the "spirit" is really floating around. It's a feeling that doesn't see, hear, or smell, and it doesn't seem to be the same as before. However, the priest is perceiving.
As Cheng Yang said, the surroundings became very viscous, as if soaked in syrup. But Si Dao didn't feel any discomfort, but felt very comfortable. In the viscousness, the priest can move his body without any hindrance. No, he felt that he could move faster, in the direction of the spirit, as if it were one with the environment.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the wonderful feeling.
Is this the world that immortal cultivators perceive? Is this what the world really looks like?
After a long time, Si Dao finally opened his eyes. There was a gentle figure standing in front of him, it was Uncle Jiang, and it was Uncle Jiang in the theory of immortals. Now, Si Dao already knows that the other party's name is Jiang Yichen.
"Uncle Jiang is good. "Greetings.
"Yes, when you are in danger, you will not be chaotic at all, and you will turn danger into blessing, so as to break through the innate realm. Looks like I don't need to be here. Jiang Yichen approved, "From today onwards, you can be regarded as truly stepping into the path of cultivating immortals." ”
It turned out that Jiang Yichen was here to save Sidao.
"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for coming to the rescue. "If he had known in advance that Zhonghe was so dangerous, Si Dao would not have tried it easily.
"Actually, you don't need to thank me. However, since you thank me, then what do I have to do. Do you know the technique of 'possession of spirits'?" Jiang Yichen said softly.
Si Dao nodded. Spiritualism is the attachment of the spirit in the body to the body, so that the strength and agility are greatly improved. In addition, spiritism can also attach "spirits" to external objects, which will become strong and abnormal. Flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people.
Spiritualism is the most basic form of magic. The magical art of Edgeworth is based on "enchantment".
"You try to hold this sword!" Jiang Yichen handed out the sword at his waist. It was a snow-white sword, full of sword patterns, very quaint.
Si Dao took the sword and blushed. The sword was much heavier than expected, and he tried his best to summon his spiritual power before he could barely hold the sword. This was the first time he had used his spiritual power, but it had gone much smoother than he had imagined.
"He has a good talent and can hold a sword without falling. This means that you have mastered the art of 'enchantment'. Now try to pass the Spirit on that sword. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Yichen raised his hand. Then, the sword was light and fluttering, without any weight. Not only that, but endless spiritual power emerged from Si Dao's body. The spiritual power continued to flow into Si Dao's body, which was extremely majestic and terrifying. Spiritual power is energy, once it gets out of control, the next second, it will tear Si Dao to pieces.
However, the spiritual power in Si Dao's body was very quiet, and there was no abnormal movement. It's just that Si Dao is also unable to drive spiritual power and cannot draw spiritual power out of his body.
"Imagine that you are one with heaven and earth. Your body is not a shackle, it's just a membrane, and your spirit can come in as you please. Jiang Yichen's voice came.
Under the guidance of Jiang Yichen, Si Dao seemed to have entered another realm.
For a moment, Si Dao felt that he was a part of heaven and earth. Then, the spirit came out of the body smoothly, from the palm of the hand to the sword. When the spirits in his body came out, the sword in his hand was finally completely wrapped by the spirits, although it was unevenly wrapped.
After the spirit leaves the body, it is more difficult for the priest to control. This is because he is not skilled enough.
"Uncle Xie. "Si Dao is overjoyed.
He learned the art of "possession" in an instant. If you say it, others probably won't believe it.
"Don't thank me. That's what you can do. I'm just helping you get to grips faster. However, you still need to practice very hard now to fully master the art of 'enchantment'. Jiang Yichen kindly reminded, "Although 'Possession of Spirits' is only the most basic spiritual art, it is the cornerstone of other spiritual arts. If you can use the 'Spirit' to the extreme, then you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort when you learn other techniques. ”
After speaking, Jiang Yichen gently raised with one hand, only to see the water in the Hanquan River floating, and then turned into transparent butterflies, surrounding Si Dao, dancing, although it is a water butterfly, but it is the same as the real one, magical and extraordinary.
Then, all the water butterflies flew into the sky, merged together, turned into a terrifying dragon in the sky, swam around, dived into the cold spring stream, and turned into a stream again.
This scene, Si Dao was very shocked.
This is immortality? This is the magic of dreams?
"As long as you practice diligently, even if it's just Qi refining and cultivating, you can still do it. As you just saw, any fellow senior brother who has been in the same sect for more than ten years can do it. Jiang Yichen pointed.
"Yes, Uncle Jiang. ”
"Do you have any other questions?" Jiang Yichen asked.
Si Dao pondered for a few seconds and said, "Dare to ask Senior Uncle Jiang, what is the spirit, and what is the essence of cultivating immortals?"
This question is very straightforward, Jiang Yichen listened to it, smiled, and showed appreciation.
"It's no wonder that 'ungrateful questions' can be asked. Actually, I don't know what you asked. However, cultivating immortals is a trip against the sky, and the spirit of seizing the heaven and earth is used for one's own use. If you have to say an answer, then I think that the essence of cultivating immortals should be plunder. ”
"Plunder?" Si Dao looked dazed.
For Jiang Yichen's answer, Si Dao was not surprised. In fact, he already vaguely felt the answer. It's just that he has just come to this world and has just come into contact with cultivating immortals, so he knows very little, so it is impossible to make a so-called conclusion.
Moreover, he is very fond of the world he sees, the rich and peaceful Spring Country, and the beautiful Acacia Wonderland. Subconsciously, he resisted the answer.
"Plunder", however you look at it, is not a well-intentioned word.
Seeing that Si Dao was stunned, Jiang Yichen smiled: "It seems that you have encountered a lot of things when you go out to practice this time." Do you think that cultivating immortals is not noble, or even a very immoral and undesirable thing? ”
"Yes, Uncle Jiang. Si Dao admitted bluntly.
"Back then, I thought so. The first time I went down the mountain, I saw a demon eating people, and I saw people eating demons, and I couldn't accept all this in my heart. So, I went to ask the uncles. Guess what, how do they get back to me?"
Si Dao shook his head.
"They told me that maybe the nature of the world is cruel. Jiang Yichen's answer made Si Dao stagnate.
Then, Jiang Yichen continued: "But, have you ever thought that under this cruel nature, if there is no other righteous path for our Hehuan Sect, what will the world become?"
His question immediately pulled Si Dao out of the dead end.
Yes, if there is no righteous way to preside, the world will be in tatters. The demons will brutalize and kill ordinary people with impunity. If so, the world would be very chaotic, full of killing and death. And now, although there are occasional devils, the Spring Kingdom as a whole is warm and stable. The vast majority of people live their lives in peace.
Under the auspices of the Hehuan Sect, the huge Spring Kingdom has never been affected by wars and natural disasters. There are no natural disasters, no natural disasters, everything is peaceful. If there was no Hehuan Sect, all this would no longer exist.
Si Dao saw the cruel side, but he didn't see the other side. In other words, he comes from another world, and it is more difficult for him to accept the cruel nature of the world than the average person in this world.
In the original world, in the impression of the priest, although there is competition between people, survival is always an instinct that surpasses everything else. All people cherish life and desire to survive. Therefore, people are not allowed to kill each other. Killing is forbidden.
The instinct and pleasure of killing is far less than the threat of death. In this way, ordinary competition is not life-threatening. But in this world, the appearance of the "spirit" changed everything.
Si Dao has experienced the thrill of growing strength. It was an incomparable experience, like the most terrible drug, that can make one forget the threat of death. It was a temptation and tremor in the depths of the soul that could not be refused. Man's thirst for strength transcends man's reverence for life.
"But if the wicked stand on top......" Si Dao couldn't help but ask again.
Yes, the world today is one in which good suppresses evil. But what if evil suppresses justice?
Jiang Yichen shook his head: "Only those who forget their feelings can practice, and those who forget their feelings have no desires at all." Today's world is inevitable, not a coincidence. ”
After listening to this, Si Dao realized: "Uncle Xie instructs." ”
"Needless to say, although you know the truth, it is not easy to fully accept it in your heart. Besides, what I'm saying isn't necessarily true. If you want answers, you can ask the Mojing yourself. ”
How did Si Dao know what the Ink Sutra was! However, he wrote down the Ink Sutra and then asked Cheng Yang yes.
Jiang Yichen didn't stay any longer. Under Si Dao's gaze, Jiang Yichen turned into a shadow and disappeared into the far sky.
He looked at the direction in which Jiang Yichen disappeared and stayed for a long time. After personal contact, he felt more and more that Jiang Yichen was amazing. He couldn't find any flaws. How could there be such a perfect person in the world? No wonder, the other party was less than three hundred years old, but he was deeply trusted by Yuanying's predecessors and was in charge of the affairs of the Hehuan Sect.
After that, Si Dao began to think about another thing - how he should explain it to Cheng Yang. In fact, when he learned of Si Dao's reckless actions, Cheng Yang was so angry that he scolded Si Dao for not caring for his life.
The only thing to be happy about is that Si Dao finally broke through the innate and embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. More importantly, Si Dao is no longer confused and wandering about the immortal path.
