Chapter 13 Interpretation Commentary
"Childe, you really don't understand this?"
Old man Li heard Su Yuxing's doubts, and looked at Su Yuxing with a genuine puzzled expression on his face and asked.
"I don't understand. ”
Su Yuxing replied very honestly, he had indeed heard the word Suiling for the first time, so Su Yuxing didn't know anything about the meaning of the word Suiling.
"Looks like he didn't tell you anything. ”
Old man Li was a little emotional, he had been wandering the rivers and lakes for decades, and there were countless people who wanted to find him to lead the awakening of the spirit, but he didn't expect that the last time in his life he awakened the spirit for others, this person was a scholar who didn't understand anything.
Since this scholar is the person he chose, Old Man Li doesn't have to worry about it, after all, Old Man Li himself is about to die.
"With the spirit, with the spirit, as the name suggests, is the spirit of following. ”
Before Old Man Li could say a few words, he couldn't help coughing lightly, and every time he coughed, a scarlet blood would spit out from his mouth, and the fatal sword mark on his chest made Su Yuxing feel a little dazzling, and the blood stains on his chest continued to spread.
"Childe doesn't have to feel guilty, everything the old man does is willing, and it has nothing to do with the child. Old man Li paused when he said this, gasping for breath, his body shook a little, he could barely use the stick in his hand to support his body, and the light of his eyes gradually dimmed, "This spirit can be born between heaven and earth, and can also be born between people's hearts." If the human heart is manic and ferocious, the spirit born may be a tiger and a leopard. If the human heart is docile, the spirit born can be the elk and the white fox, which are all beasts. ”
"Sir, listen to what you say, it seems that there is not only one kind of spirit?"
Su Yuxing originally wanted to let Old Man Li sit down and rest, but seeing the resolute gaze on Old Man Li's face at the moment, Su Yuxing no longer had any other thoughts, and asked Old Man Li seriously.
Old man Li saw that Su Yuxing was listening to him carefully, and he didn't do anything about his mother-in-law, so he smiled heartily, ignoring the blood that had been flowing from his mouth, "There is naturally more than one kind of Suiling, but most of the Suilings born by martial artists are beasts. If someone does not like beasts, they will seek mountains and rivers, see the things of heaven and earth, and look for the play of ancient times, and such spirits born in heaven and earth and antiquities can be called spiritual beings. The spirit of the beast has greatly improved both its growth and fit. But in the same way, the difficulty of inducing spirits to be born and parasitize is many times higher than that of beasts born naturally in the human heart. People's character and martial arts attributes and abilities will affect the difficulty of spiritual parasitism. ”
Su Yuxing's brows furrowed when he heard this, and his one hand covered his still hot chest, and the pocket sword named Liushuang was still tightly attached to Su Yuxing's arms.
Old Man Li's face was still calm, but as the blood continued to seep out, his face was as pale as a dead man. Old man Li, who was no longer able to stand up, sat cross-legged on the ground where his blood was congealed, his stick was placed horizontally on his lap, although his breath was getting weaker and weaker, his voice was still clear and powerful, "Since Gongzi listened so carefully to the words of the old man who was about to die, the old man would say a few more words." Childe doesn't think that there are only these two kinds of Suiling, in fact, there are the last two, I don't know what Childe knows?"
Old man Li looked at Su Yuxing with a pale face and asked.
"Please continue to solve the doubts. ”
Su Yuxing shook his head, bowed his hand to Old Man Li very respectfully, and then made a long bow.
"The Seven Signatures of the Cloud Pipe" once recorded that people have three souls and seven spirits, one of the three souls is called the fetal light, the qi of Taiqing Yang and the sky. The second is said to be refreshing, refreshing, and the change of yin qi belongs to the five elements. The three are called the dark spirit, the miscellaneous yin qi, which belongs to the earth. The seven spirits are all corpse dogs, arrows, birds, thieves, non-poisonous, filthy, and stinky lungs. If a person dies, the seven spirits will also disappear, the three souls will return to the sky, the earth soul will enter the earth, and only the cool soul will remain in the world. ”
"Ghosts?"
Su Yuxing became more and more puzzled when he heard what Old Man Li said.
"It's not impossible for Childe to call him that way, but Childe must not call it that way in front of human spirits, and the most disgusting thing about these spirits is the ghost theory, because they never think they are dead. These human spirits can reside in the human body, can make people clear qi and control the yang, and also enable people to plot all things, etc. The more powerful the human spirit, the more powerful the parasitic person can get, but as the old man said, such a spirit never thinks that it is dead, so the more powerful the human spirit, the more likely it is to invade the host's original body, so that the host's original three souls and seven spirits will continue to merge with the human spirit while borrowing the power of the human spirit, so as to complete the resurrection in another sense. ”
Old man Li said softly, his eyes in a trance as if he had thought of something.
"But no one would do such a thing, would they?"
Su Yuxing couldn't help but shudder, for the sake of this so-called Sui Ling, his body and soul have become someone else's, isn't this something that only a fool would do?
"Some people can slaughter their wives and children for the sake of cultivating evil methods, and some people can betray their relatives and friends for the sake of peerless Xuan soldiers, for the sake of absolute power, what do these people dare not do? You must know that all human souls that can wander in the world are weak, and once each human soul chooses to be parasitic, the ability to bring to the host at that moment is by no means comparable to that of beasts and spirits. The exercises that human beings learn before they die, the experience of fighting hands, and the various things that human beings know before they die.
And only the strong can die at the moment of leaving a cool spirit, wandering the world, and becoming a human spirit. ”
Old man Li sighed softly, his eyes lowered, and fell into silence.
"What about the other kind, old gentleman?"
Su Yuxing waited for a moment, and seeing that Old Man Li still didn't mean to speak, Su Yuxing, who had already aroused his curiosity, asked.
Old man Li raised his head, looking at Su Yuxing with dull eyes, the expression in his eyes made Su Yuxing elusive, "The last one, don't talk about it, the son will come into contact with it sooner or later." The beast is born of the human heart, the spirit is born in the heaven and the earth, the human spirit is opposite, only the god cannot speak. The last kind of spirit is what we often say, God. ”
"God?!"
Su Yuxing's eyes widened and exclaimed.
"Childe, please rest assured, the power of the gods is beyond the control of us, and the gods are not chosen by us, but by the gods. If someone is chosen by the gods, it does not mean that it is the favor and gift of the gods, but it represents death. Because of the power of the gods, people cannot bear it, so this is also the reason why the old man did not say the last one, but no one who is sent by the gods can live past the age of ten. ”
Old man Li said softly.
Su Yuxing had a bad premonition in his heart, because Old Man Li's gloomy gaze had not moved away from Su Yuxing's side, and Su Yuxing barely showed a smile, "Old man, you look at me like this, could it be my awakened spirit ......"
"Childe, don't worry, the phantom behind you when you took out the sword just now is not a beast from the observation of the old decay, but a spiritual being. Now the son has just woken up with the spirit, but judging from this weak phantom, he can't tell what kind of spirit he is. When Childe becomes more and more proficient in the use of the spirit, the phantom will become clearer and clearer, and Childe will also see what the spirit is really about. ”
Old man Li shook his head and explained.
Su Yuxing exhaled a long breath, and at the same time, he felt a little lost in his heart for some reason, wouldn't it be better if it were human spirits and gods?But then Su Yuxing's mind suddenly recalled what Old Man Li said, making Su Yuxing quickly shake his head and throw this terrible idea out of his mind.
"But how can I summon my retinue out?"
Su Yuxing waved the three-foot long sword in his hand, and he couldn't find the mysterious feeling when he used to make the sword before.
"Childe, everything is from the heart. ”
Old man Li reminded with a chuckle.
Su Yuxing closed his eyes as if he had realized something, recalling the state of the sword before, the distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared, and there was only one thought in his heart.
Out of the sword.
Old man Li looked at Su Yuxing who was dancing with a sword in the moonlight, the petals of the acacia flowers were flying in the courtyard, and the phantom behind Su Yuxing suddenly appeared, and as Su Yuxing's sword became faster and faster, the phantom gradually condensed. Old man Li looked at the phantom appearance, his pale face fell into astonishment again, his gloomy gaze was full of doubt, and finally Old Man Li glanced at the corner of the courtyard, and then lowered his head and gently stroked the stick on his lap, the pulse of his bony wrist beating slower and slower.
Impulsive.
