Chapter 18, Seven Realms of Contemplation
As recorded in "Yin Yang Ghost Record", the soul is extremely fragile in the yang world, but what is said in this ancient book is even more terrifying, from the beginning of the contemplation to the formal shell, ordinary people may need to go through at least five years of accumulation before they can come out of the shell.
This accumulation is the cultivation of the state of mind, to achieve the state of mind of not hiding ghosts, not offering to the gods, so as to gain without suffering, losing without suffering, when there is this accumulation, you must bathe and fast, find a quiet place, and carry out the soul out of the shell at night, and this level is also the most difficult.
Some people have accumulated for five years, even ten years, or even decades, and have not succeeded in coming out of the shell, but this kind of person has an extremely clear mind and is very easy to do, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are called geniuses, and there must be a great success in the world, but they will never be able to set foot in the path of ghosts and immortals.
The person who is most likely to get out of the shell must have a pure heart, because the heart has no external objects, and everything is extremely thorough, almost carefree.
For example, a newborn child does not know what joy, anger and sorrow are, so the soul is the easiest to come out of the shell, but the child's consciousness is a blank sheet of paper, and it will only be driven by the feelings of the body, so the soul is naturally impossible to come out of the shell.
Lu Changsheng looked back on his experience of coming out of the shell, and he had some palpitations, according to the records in ancient books, his soul came out of the shell in this state, and if he didn't return from the funeral master, he would almost definitely die.
But he is alive and well, because the coffin jade pendant on his chest has been helping him, and even twice the ghost has disintegrated, he is in danger.
But what frightened him was that the last record in this ancient book was that if he did not reach the realm of the yang soul, the yin soul would not be able to ascend to the rank of ghost immortal if he had major injuries.
It's like a basin of cold water, pouring a stirring spirit on his body, and he has experienced two soul-stray dissipations.
At night, Lu Changsheng had some gains and losses, but soon he calmed down again, if he couldn't cultivate a ghost immortal, he didn't cultivate, he only needed to have the ability to protect himself, and the coffin jade pendant on his chest might have repaired his wounds.
After Lu Dahai fell asleep, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to think intently according to the ancient books.
Fortunately, there is also a method of contemplation in this ancient book, which is a painting called the Diagram of Lake Contemplation, which depicts a lake with a calm surface and no waves, which looks like the real thing.
All he has to do is close his eyes and use all his thoughts to imagine this picture in his mind, which is the first step of thinking, deliberately, roughly meaning to depict the scene and artistic conception of the lake in his mind.
The longer you persist and the clearer the picture, the higher the realm of contemplation, which is the second step of contemplation, immersion.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to do this, because their minds are disturbed, and it is difficult to form such a complete picture in their consciousness when they close their eyes.
But for Lu Changsheng, this process of contemplation is not difficult, and he quickly completed the deliberate purpose of this picture in his consciousness, at this time he felt that his whole person was sitting on the surface of the lake, everything around him was very clear, and the lake did not even have the ripples of microwaves, which was the third step of contemplation, and his heart was like stopping water.
From being immersed in the scene to being like stopping water, these two steps are very difficult, and even most people can't do it in a lifetime, but for Lu Changsheng, it is very simple to do.
It lasted for about two hours, and Lu Changsheng only felt that his thoughts were clear, his mind was thorough, and there were no distracting thoughts at all, just like taking a bath in his brain, cleaning up all the filth and being ethereal.
So he decided to take the fourth step, imagining that the lake began to rotate, and then the calm lake surface appeared in the swirling nest, and as the swirling nest spread more and more widely, Lu Changsheng felt that his heart seemed to be rotating with the swirling nest of the lake, panic and irritability appeared in his heart, and distracting thoughts appeared out of thin air.
At the moment when these distracting thoughts appeared, the imaginary lake began to disintegrate, and his consciousness returned to reality again, and the eldest brother who was snoring sleeping next to him was still in that small rental house, and occasionally he could hear a few heart-wrenching human cries from next door.
Lu Changsheng was a little unwilling, because he couldn't reach the fourth step of thinking and deducing it to come true.
Only by pushing the performance of the stormy waves, and the contemplation plan is not broken, the soul can reach the most basic requirements for coming out of the shell, but this is only the most basic requirement, and there is still stability as Mount Tai, free retraction, and supernatural transformation;
It is said that the soul can not only easily get out of the shell, but even skip the sixfold realm of ghost immortal cultivation in one step, and go directly to the seventh realm of yang soul, so that it is not afraid of the light of the sun and the moon, and can walk in the daytime, and even accumulate to a certain point, and it can feather into a ghost immortal in the moment of coming out of the shell.
After resting for a while, Lu Changsheng closed his eyes again and tried, his heart quickly calmed down again, the surrounding sounds disappeared again, and his consciousness returned to the lake again, everything was the same as just now, he was still sitting cross-legged on the lake, the lake was real and clear.
Then he began to drive the surface of the lake to rotate, this time he drove very slowly, the surface of the lake began to rotate slightly, and then faster and faster, faster and faster, until the entire lake began to rotate, and overflowed with splashes, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt some heart palpitations, as if the water swept by this swirling nest was about to swallow him, and the picture disappeared again.
When he regained consciousness again, he found that his body had overflowed with fine sweat, and it was obvious that the scene he had just imagined had become very real, and his body involuntarily changed.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, not feeling complacent about his small achievements, and after resting for a while, he once again entered a state of contemplation.
When one night passed, Lu Changsheng found that when he got up, he was surprisingly tired, his eyelids were as heavy as a mountain, and he insisted on finishing breakfast, and then fell asleep on the bed.
Lu Dahai was not surprised, thinking that his younger brother had studied all night last night, and it was normal for him to be tired.
At night, after Lu Changsheng woke up, he sat up again, imagining the scene of sitting cross-legged on the lake, he found that as long as he didn't enter the deduction to come true, he wouldn't feel mentally sleepy, and just thinking about the calm lake would make his sleepiness disappear very quickly.
When he recovered again, Lu Changsheng performed a Yin Soul Shell, and he was surprised to find that the Yin Soul was no longer pitch black and transparent, as if it was fading, it had turned black and gray.
Moreover, the eyes of the yin soul were so vague that they could penetrate the wall and see the scene opposite, which made Lu Changsheng take aback: "Isn't the normal yin spirit black?"
He immediately returned to his body, looked at the book, and was surprised to find that he could read the font in the book clearly in the environment without light, and he didn't have time to be happy, but he found something in one of the ancient books.
The Yin Soul of the Soul is pure white and clear, and with the improvement of the cultivation level, it can be exactly the same as the body when it reaches the Yang Soul, and it looks like a normal person, although it is still a soul body, it can already walk in the sun.
However, the yin soul that leaves the body through external objects is black, and if it is not cultivated with contemplation and absorbs people's yang energy, it will become darker and darker, and in the end, not only will it not be able to cultivate into a ghost immortal, but it will not fall into the demon path.
Getting this answer, Lu Changsheng was startled, fortunately he found it early, otherwise he would really go crazy.
After knowing the importance of contemplation, Lu Changsheng decided to make up for his original shortcomings.
According to the division of the realm, the first weight is out of the shell, so that the soul that has accumulated enough to leave the body, as long as the shell is out of the shell nine times, without major damage, and return to the body, you can enter the second layer of yin soul.
The yin soul must steadily adapt to the external environment, if it does not disintegrate, if the thinking does not reach a certain level, the yin soul may disintegrate, and even finally the soul will be scattered.
The third level, soul travel, this process is very dangerous, but it is a necessary process, generally choose at night, and when there is no moonlight, try to leave the body about a hundred steps, and the realm of soul travel will be reached.
After the soul tour was the fourth reshaping form, what made Lu Changsheng speechless was that after the yin soul came out of the body, it was just a chaotic mass, although he didn't know why he was in human form after leaving the body, but he knew that he had passed this realm.
The next is the fifth incarnation, which is to achieve the release of thoughts, and capture the thoughts released and turn them into objects, if you use this object to attack people, it will cause great damage to the soul in the person's body, and the soul will be lost.
This realm reminded Lu Changsheng of the soul knife formed by his outgoing thoughts, and the attack on those big men at that time, it seemed that in the end they all died, and they died in terror.
"But why did Zhang Yang actually survive?" Lu Changsheng was surprised for a while, but soon he understood that maybe he didn't have the intention to reach a certain realm, so he caused his lack of strength.
But soon he had another question, weren't those strong men stronger than Zhang Yang? Why did Zhang Yang not die, but several strong men did?
Lu Changsheng, who couldn't find the answer for the time being, didn't think about it, but pondered the sixth realm drive.
This level of gravity must be reached so that the Yin Soul can manifest its true form, not be transparent, and can use the release of the mind to drive objects.
Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of the scene when Zhou Xingxing got up early in the morning and saw his ghost returning to his shell, which means that he is at this stage now, but he has not reached the state of driving objects and fully manifesting them.
According to the records in ancient books, the Yin Soul that can truly achieve the exorcism is to easily blind the eyes of mortals and create a small range of ghost mirrors.
This ghost mirror can make mortals think that they are in another world, which is commonly known as ghost hitting the wall.
The happy Lu Changsheng immediately came out of the shell and tried to drive the object, when the soul qi was released and wrapped around the book, Lu Changsheng wanted to drive the book to move, but found that the soul qi dissipated, but the book was still motionless.
So he began to use the Yin Ghost to pick up the book himself, only to find that his arm had passed directly through the book, and it was clear that he had not yet reached this realm.
But he is already very satisfied, according to the records in ancient books, it will take five to ten years, or even twenty years, to achieve the appearance of the Yin Soul, and some will not succeed in a lifetime.
And from the shell to the drive, it will take twenty years at the shortest, but it only took him less than three months, and he is already about to reach the realm of drive, if those who can't even get out of the shell in their lives know, wouldn't they want to crawl out of the coffin and Lu Changsheng theory angrily?
Of course, Lu Changsheng also knew that his realm was not the real driving realm, because his soul was not pure white, but black, and there were signs of going mad, and his yin soul was not so powerful as recorded in ancient books, and Cunsi couldn't even deduce it to come true.
However, there are gains, and there must be losses, Lu Changsheng decided to start over, first think about the accumulation, and wait for the step of becoming supernatural, and see what the yin soul that is coming out of the shell will look like at that time?
