Chapter 15: The Spiritual Root Test
Of course, Tianyi Zhenren knew that He Lingfeng would not know, so he asked and answered himself, and continued:
"The reason why it is called 'fairy spirit jade body' is that each of the first three words is not arbitrary, but has its own meaning.
'Immortals' are immortals who are beyond the mortal world, old and immortal. Although the fairy jade body is not so magical that it can make people immortal, it will make the innate qi in the owner's body run on its own and continue to grow, so it is stronger than ordinary people, so its lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people.
The 'spiritual' is also psychic.
'Jade' is a pure thing. That is to say, those with immortal spirit jade bodies must have at least one attribute of spiritual root in their body, and no matter how many attributes they have, they are extremely pure.
And jade can also gather the essence of heaven and earth, and condense the aura of mountains and rivers. What's more, the speed at which the immortal spirit jade body absorbs spiritual energy is also extraordinary, and it is extremely fast.
And the word 'Lingyu', together means Tongling Baoyu. Baoyu is psychic to communicate with heaven and earth, which means that the fairy spirit jade body can communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth, that is, it is easier to understand the avenue of heaven and earth.
Although Fang Cai said that those with immortal spirit jade bodies must have spiritual roots with attached attributes in their bodies, no matter how many or they are, they are extremely pure. But in fact, most of the immortal jade bodies throughout the ages were single-attribute spirit roots.
According to the book on the "Tianhua Zhengshi", since the beginning of the record, more than 70,000 years, there are a total of one hundred and one people who have recorded the fairy spirit jade body.
Among them, there are enough eighty-nine of them are single-attribute spiritual roots, six are dual-attribute spiritual roots, and one is a three-attribute spiritual root, and the remaining five are either unknown to specific attributes, or are unknown.
Of course, it is impossible for "Tianhua Zhengshi" to record all of them without omission, but it can also be seen that the fairy spirit jade body is generally dominated by single-attribute spirit roots.
All of the above is a secret. On that day, because of the seriousness of the matter, I did not mention it to you in front of your master and my disciples. Don't tell anyone about it, remember!"
He Lingfeng listened to Tianyi Zhenren's explanation of the Immortal Spirit Jade Body, his heart was shocked, he opened his mouth and couldn't speak, he came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded in agreement, while Tianyi Zhenren began to tell him about the problems related to Kailing.
"After talking about the spiritual root attributes, let's talk about the spiritual enlightenment. 'Kailing' means to open the spiritual root.
If you want to open a spiritual root of a certain attribute, you have to use the corresponding attribute to stimulate the spiritual root in its body, make it awaken and active, and then guide the attribute spiritual spirit in the item used to open the spiritual root to nourish the spiritual root.
After that, the spiritual root will grow slowly like a plant, until it is fully mature and no longer grows, which is the day when the spiritual enlightenment ends. Because this is counted as a necessary process before the practice and represents the degree of cultivation, it is not counted in the division of realms.
Only after the spiritual root is opened, can you learn the exercises, sense the spiritual energy corresponding to the attributes of the spiritual root between heaven and earth, and then run the exercises, introduce this spiritual energy into the dantian, and accept it for your own use.
Let's talk about the choice of enlightened things.
Those who do not have an attribute spiritual root can only choose an attribute within the five elements to open the spirit, and then practice the exercises of the corresponding attribute.
However, compared with those with attribute spiritual roots, because the non-attribute spiritual roots do not have outstanding affinity attributes, when cultivating the same exercises, they are inferior in terms of the power of the exercises and the perception of the Great Dao.
Single-attribute enlightenment is very simple, just choose the corresponding attribute thing.
Multi-attribute enlightenment is more troublesome. Objects that fuse or mix with their corresponding multiple attributes are superior, while things that correspond to each single attribute at the same time to stimulate the spiritual root are inferior.
It's just that things that are fused or mixed with attributes are also difficult to find, and the rarity is no less than that of multi-attribute spiritual roots, so some people with multi-attribute spiritual roots can only use the method of multiplication as a last resort.
For example, for example, the dual-attribute spiritual root of thunder wood, using lightning strike wood that is more than 300 years old for spiritual enlightenment is the best method. And this wood must have been recently chopped by the thunder, too far away, its internal thunder power will dissipate on its own.
If you can't find this thing, you can use the essence of plants and trees to cooperate with the pearl of heavenly thunder to open the spirit, which is the method of inferiority. ”
Tianyi Zhenren paused again when he said this. Then, with a wave of his sleeves, a pile of colorful items appeared on the low square table in front of him.
Or the earthy yellow spar with holes inside, or the blue water droplets that roll freely, or the golden sparkling metal all over, or the green liquor full of vitality and the fragrance of plants......
What's even more amazing is that among these unknown objects, there is a red flame that is still burning and dancing, suspended just an inch from the tabletop, but the tabletop has not the slightest trace of being burned.
In addition, it is two lumps of substances, one black and one white, that look like water but not water, and oil and not oil, which are placed on both sides of the table by Tianyi Zhenren, and there is nothing strange about it.
He Lingfeng's eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly asked Tianyi Zhenren if these were the attribute things used for enlightenment.
Tianyi Zhenren smiled and said: "The son can be taught, yes, it is the spiritual thing of the five elements and the spiritual roots of the various attributes of yin and yang." And these are all for you, you come with me, I'll test the spiritual root attributes for you first, and then see which one you can use. ”
After that, Tianyi Zhenren stood up and walked out, and He Lingfeng also followed.
Tianyi Zhenren took He Lingfeng out of the courtyard, and did not fly in the light, but walked slowly towards the main hall of Tianyi Sect along a path paved with bluestone slabs.
Along the way, there are many green pines and cypresses, vines and green bamboos, dotted in the meantime. Passing by many kinds of halls, are red walls and red columns, the top of the main hall is covered with yellow glazed tiles, with dragons, phoenixes, foxes, fish, pigs and other roof ridge beast carvings decoration. As far as the eye can see, they are all solemn, peaceful, and full of righteousness.
The places where the disciples in the sect live are mostly in the form of hooking up and building roofs, with clean white walls and green tile roofs, which are simple and natural.
Tianyi Zhenren explained the use of various buildings one by one. Some store pills, some Tibetan Dharma books, some store ritual vessels, and the most are palaces dedicated to all kinds of gods.
After touching a stick of incense, Tianyi Zhenren took He Lingfeng to the main hall of Tianyi Sect.
The main hall is located on the central axis of the top of Tianyi Peak, built on a three-story stone pedestal in a white jade square, and the main hall covers an extremely wide area. The nine ridges of the heavy eaves are the top, and the red lacquer columns are supported, tall and solemn.
There is a huge copper incense burner in front of the hall, the green smoke on it is ethereal, there is a faint aroma of cypress, and the smell is refreshing.
The two of them entered the hall, and there were not many disciples of the Inner Heaven Sect, only three or five people. When they saw the arrival of the patriarch Tianyi Zhenren, they all saluted respectfully, and after Tianyi Zhenren received it, they all asked them all to retreat.
On the left side of the hall, there is a huge light gray stone tablet with a height of three feet and three feet, and a width of three feet and three inches, and the base is carved with a turtle and a camel. There was a blank space on it, but not a word was engraved.
Tianyi Zhenren took He Lingfeng to the stele and told him that this stele was used to test the attributes of the spiritual root.
Its entirety is refined by secret methods, and there is a subtle magic circle inside. The person being tested only needs to stretch out his hands and place them on the stone tablet, and then enter the empty state of the spiritual platform, and the stone tablet can light up with various colors, showing the attributes of the spiritual root in different colors.
Black represents yin, white represents yang, gold is gold, water is blue, wood is green, fire is red, and earth is yellow.
He asked He Lingfeng to close his eyes and calm down first, and when his heart was calm and calm, he stretched out his hands and pressed against the stone tablet. Then, go further and be free of distractions and feel calm.
He Lingfeng did it one by one, and just when his heart was calm and the spiritual platform was empty, the light on the stone tablet suddenly shone brightly, which was extremely dazzling, making people unable to look directly.
Although He Lingfeng closed his eyes, he didn't know what the situation was, but there was still a hazy light through his eyelids. He hurriedly opened his eyes to see, but the dazzling light shook his eyes with unbearable pain, and tears flowed unconsciously.
As early as when the stone tablet was lit up, Tianyi Zhenren noticed something unusual, but seeing the faint golden light in his eyes, it was obvious that the operation of the exercises protected his eyes.
However, his heart was shocked, and even his face changed from the previous plain, revealing a bit of consternation, which was obviously unexpected.
But I don't know what the situation is that makes Tianyi Zhenren unable to calm down.
