Volume 1 "Witch Book" Chapter 12: Unable to cultivate
Soon another three or four hours passed, and Zhao Hong stopped. He found that although the "Witch Book" was concise and to the point, it was all all-encompassing and enumerated. If you can comprehend one or two of them and use them for your own use, you will definitely benefit a lot.
When he read the three chapters of talismans, spells, and arrays in the next volume of "Techniques", he couldn't help but sigh that if he studied the various witchcraft in the book in detail, it would take at least several years. Moreover, most of these witchcraft skills can only be used after his Divine Soul Realm has been raised to a higher realm.
So for now, it seems that he can only choose some witchcraft that can help him get out of here, and it is easy to learn, and he will learn first.
Take the second "mantra" of the second volume of "techniques" in the "Witch Book", which mentions the "earth spell", which can rely on the power of the spell to achieve walking through the earth, and the effect is similar to the "earth escape technique" in the cultivation spell.
It's just that if you want to cast the "Earth Walking Mantra", soul refining is the foundation, but the body must also be cultivated simultaneously. This is not difficult to understand, after all, the casting of all spells and spells, whether it is mobilizing the aura between heaven and earth, or controlling one's own law or power, all require the support of energy, and cannot be generated out of thin air. The power of the mantra is to harmonize and invoke the energy of the earth and one's own physical body.
There are also talismans and magic circles, whether it is the human race or the witch race, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is sealed in the talisman or magic circle, and it is activated through spells or array flags. The difference is that most of the Terrans use mana to stimulate and exert power, while the Witches rely on the power of the soul.
Zhao Hong has now found some such as "Earth Walking Spell", "Soil Breaking Talisman", "Small Shifting Array", etc., which have relatively low requirements for the Divine Soul Realm and Soul Consciousness consumption. If you can train your soul to the early stage of the Void Realm, you can still give it a try at that time.
The book also mentions the soul consciousness, which is born after cultivating the Wu clan exercises and improving the divine soul, just like the divine thoughts of the human monks. Although Zhao Hong still can't fully figure out what soul consciousness is, he knows that the importance of soul consciousness seems to be closely related to the cultivation behind the entire "Witch Codex". Soul consciousness is not only beneficial to the further cultivation and improvement of the "technique" in the first volume, but also related to the study and application of talismans, spells, and witch arrays in the "technique" in the next volume.
Zhao Hong sat on the spot, adjusted his state of mind, and then according to the "Witch Book", he sealed his hands and silently recited the mental decision recorded in the book:
"Heaven and earth have yin and yang, the soul is the root, the body is the base, the weather (yang) is refining the soul, the earth qi (yin) is quenching the body, the two qi are combined, it is a human being, and life is endless. The spirit of form, the god of qi, at first glance, sinking or floating, coming and going with the gods, concentrating on the ......"
......
Dozens of miles south of the fire-weary city, under a nameless mountain peak. An old man in a yellow robe turned his hands behind his back, his eyes closed, as if listening to everything in the landscape, woodland. And not far behind him, there stood another rickety old man.
"Old Ghost Yi, you really haven't found your good disciple yet?" said the yellow-robed Taoist coldly, it was Tu Gui of Tengyan Peak. After he came out of the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately rushed here, the purpose was naturally to recover the two secret books of Tengyan Peak that were lost in Wang Batian's hands, but he couldn't talk about this kind of thing.
The rickety old man slowly walked a few steps closer, looked at Tu Gui with cold eyes, and said: "What does Brother Tu mean by this? Could it be that I want to say that my broken body of a wind and candle has nothing to do here? On the contrary, I want to ask Brother Tu, you have been here half a day before me, have you found any traces? The disciples are fighting with others here, and my unsuccessful boy has suffered an unjustified disaster, and his life and death are unknown. Brother Tu is really generous, he gave the disciples a lot of high-grade fire talismans, and he was really willing to give it. I'd love to ask the truth from Brother Tu, could that kid be like that gray-clothed cultivator, who has become a revenant under the fire talisman?"
This rickety old man is none other than Yi Si. He learned that Zhao Hong was missing, and he also rushed here to investigate.
Tu Gui's face was dark, he snorted coldly, and said, "If it weren't for Zhao Hong's bad intentions, why would you follow here, old ghost Yi, you are really very short-sighted!"
Yi Si sneered, no longer had a verbal dispute with Tu Gui, and quietly looked at the sky in a daze. He searched for dozens of miles in the vicinity, but still couldn't find any trace of Zhao Hong.
Tu Gui suddenly asked inexplicably: "Old ghost Yi, do you know Erqi?"
Yi Si's face turned pale, and he replied, "I don't know." Who is he? Why did Brother Tu ask this?"
Tu Gui looked at the change in Yi Si's expression with a pair of cold eyes, and after a long time, he said, "It's nothing." Decades ago, I knew a monk with whom I had crossed paths with for his alchemy, but I didn't know where he had gone, and I haven't heard from him since. ”
Yi Si smiled dryly and said, "What's so strange about this, although the monk's cultivation can prolong his lifespan, he is not immortal after all. In the world of great controversy, it is not surprising that the monk has fallen. ”
Tu Gui smiled weirdly and said, "Maybe." I looked at your breath just now, and it was a little similar to my old friend, maybe I was thinking too much for a while...... Okay, old ghost Yi, this time the demon beasts slaughtered the city, and there are still many things for me to deal with in this sect, so I won't accompany you, and I will leave!" After speaking, the yellow shadow flashed, and he brushed his sleeves away.
Yi Si looked at the direction in which Tu Gui disappeared, his dry face wrinkled more and more, and his eyes were like frost.
......
Three days passed. In the stone room at the bottom of the lake, Zhao Hong sometimes settled down like an old monk, sometimes waved his hands, making a false grasp in mid-air, and sometimes his face was solemn, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Zhao Hong opened his eyes, wiped his sweat, and sighed with a depressed expression.
In the past three days, he had tried countless times to draw the aura of heaven and earth into his body, trying to refine his divine soul, but each time he ended in failure. Once the aura enters the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, it will be like mud into the sea and dissipate. He couldn't condense his aura at all, let alone mobilize his drive.
Jiang You once said that when a monk cultivates, he breathes and breathes out the "Three Flowers Gathering Peak", absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and introducing it into the Baihui acupoints on the top of his head to cultivate, but he is suffering from the fact that he is a waste spiritual root, and he can't introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body at all, so he can't cultivate.
Originally, after reading the "Witch Codex", he found that the cultivation method of the witch race was very different from the cultivation method of the human race, and he was quite confident. But now he has to re-examine it, is his qualifications really so poor?
In the past three days, he tried everything he could, as if he was repeatedly verifying a kind of pain: he couldn't cultivate.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed and angry he became, and he viciously grabbed the Witchbook in his hand, trying to tear it to shreds.
"Idiot, what a nerd, alas, pedantic, pedantic!"
In his ears, a slight and vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded, as if an old witch was about to die and sighed.
"What person?" Zhao Hong was startled, and Huo Ran jumped up.
Zhao Hong was taken aback, but he looked around left and right, the entire stone room was just ten zhang space, where was there anyone?
But he heard the voice just now, and he heard it clearly, and it was definitely not that he heard it wrong.
An inexplicable fear rose, and he suddenly remembered the dry bones in the inner room, could it be ......? impossible, the voice was obviously in his ears, not like it came from the inner room.
In the past few days, he had never stepped into the inner chamber again, and he tried not to think of the skeleton in the inner chamber. On the one hand, it was because he was concentrating on cultivating the "Witch Book", and on the other hand, he always felt that the inner room was too weird and did not want to enter it again.
Zhao Hong forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, held the stainless steel broadsword in his hand, opened the stone door, and cautiously stepped into the inner room again.
The inner room was still dim, and Zhao Hong held the big knife across his chest, approaching the white bone step by step.
The skeleton was still sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, not moving. Zhao Hong picked it with a knife, but there was no reaction. When his gaze moved down, he was startled again.
The finger bones of the skeleton shone with a dark golden light, and it was obviously a dark gold ring, the same one he had taken off earlier.
Zhao Hong broke out in a cold sweat, and touched his pocket, where is the ring still on his body!
I don't know when this ring was psychic?
"Are you a human or a ghost?" since you are talking to me, why don't you dare to show up?" Zhao Hong raised his knife and shouted loudly.
It didn't take long for the old witch-like voice to sound slowly again: "People, perhaps...... Maybe not...... It's been so long that I can't remember it myself. ”
Zhao Hong's eyes widened, and his gaze completely stopped on the ring, because this time, he could hear it clearly, and it was from this ring that the old voice came out.
When ordinary mortals die, their souls will soon dissipate in heaven and earth because they have no parasite. However, it is said that after the death of a monk with a high realm, he can seal his soul in a specific treasure, and it can be sealed for a while, and it will not dissipate.
I don't know what kind of treasure this ring is, and after thousands of years, the soul hidden in it is still immortal. In this ring, I don't know how many years ago the old monster?
Zhao Hong refreshed his mind, put away the big knife, and said respectfully: "The younger generation has taken the liberty of coming here, it is really helpless, disturbing the retreat of the seniors, and I ask the seniors to forgive me." ”
"Seniors, who are you shouting? Who do you say is old? Who is old? I'm angry with me, I think when I was alive, it was also a beautiful and graceful country...... Am I old? Ah, yes...... It's been so many years!Woo ......" The old voice was first annoyed, then sad, as if talking to itself, and went on and on, and finally began to cry bitterly.
Zhao Hong scratched the back of his head, a little speechless. He didn't understand what kind of character was in the ring, and he was startled and crazy. Could it be that you've been here for a long time and have lost your mind?
Is it true that no matter how long a woman in the world lives, she will mind her age?
However, he didn't bother to ask, and only waited until the cry in the ring was a little softer before he spoke: "Senior, since you have been here for so long, you should know how to get out of here, right?" Just now the junior said that he was helpless to come here, and asked the senior to fulfill and guide the junior to leave here. ”
"Why do you want to go out? I don't go out. It's nice here...... By the way, why did I come here in the first place? Well, why did I forget it again? Forget it, I can't remember, I don't go out anyway. The old voice chattered, and the answer was completely bullish.
Zhao Hong shook his head helplessly, this old witch was simply delirious, and she didn't know if she was crazy when she was alive, or was she really depressed because she had been trapped here for too long?
After sighing, Zhao Hong asked again: "Since the seniors don't want to go out, then give up." I don't know why the seniors spoke out when the juniors were cultivating just now...... That, give me advice?"
Zhao Hong wanted to say why she scolded herself for being a fool and pedantic, but she still changed her words and said that it was advice.
"Ah, yes......," the voice said, "I see that your kid's soul foundation is not bad, compared to me...... That, of course, is a little worse than when I was back. I see that your spirit is good, but your practice is chaotic and a mess, so I can't hold back for a while, so I'll just remind you. ”
