Volume 1 of the Book of Witchcraft Chapter 13: The First Practice of the Book of Witchcraft

Hearing the voice saying that he wanted to instruct himself to cultivate, Zhao Hong nodded noncommittally, "Then I have to ask the seniors to guide me more clearly, the juniors really don't know much about the cultivation methods in this "Witch Book". With that, he sat down on the ground and began to meditate again. As usual, once the aura enters the Baihui acupoint, it dissipates and cannot be condensed.

"Idiot, you big fool! Stubborn, don't know how to be flexible! Why do you have to meditate and act in a fixed way when you cultivate? Also, why do you have to introduce the aura of heaven and earth from the Baihui acupoint?

Zhao Hong was stunned, and then he was a little stunned, as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't understand it. As the voice said, the "Witch Book" did not mention a specific method, but it was preconceived with the human cultivation method that Jiang You said. But if not, how?

The voice said: "The essence of the Wu clan's cultivation and communication of heaven and earth with the spirit of heaven and earth is: flowing clouds and water, going anywhere, moving at will, for my use." With the purity of your soul, it is easy to communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, but you can't eat the ancients, so you have to follow the rules and regulations that you don't know so-called, step by step. People have seven orifices, 12 meridians, 8 strange meridians, and 720 acupuncture points around the body.

"You deliberately forced the aura to condense and then introduce the soul. You need to know that the aura is a dead thing, but the soul is alive, you can't condense the aura, why don't you do the opposite and lead the soul into the aura?"

Listening to these words, Zhao Hong suddenly brightened up. Before, he was not pedantic and stupid, what was it? "At first glance, sinking or floating, coming and going with the gods", originally his understanding was to draw qi to refine the soul, and the spirit did not move and became angry, but now he knows that what the "Witch Book" refers to should be, the spirit is not moving and the soul is moving, not sticking to the form, and doing it arbitrarily.

The voice continued: "Of course, the most important thing you have to remember is to care, not force, use, not gather. The purpose of the Wu clan cultivation is to refine the soul and temper the body, not to refine the qi method. When you have cultivated to a sufficient level, the aura of heaven and earth can be used by me, so why bother whether it is in the body or outside the body. ”

Zhao Hong's mind immediately flickered, and the seal in his hand changed rapidly, and he suddenly felt relieved. He no longer forcibly pulled, but went at will, allowing the aura of heaven and earth to pour in, dissipate, pour in, and dissipate from the seven orifices and other acupoints around his body...... And so on and so forth. Only then did he understand that the so-called strong soul was not deliberately to use the aura to refine the strength of the soul, but to strengthen the connection between the soul and the aura of heaven and earth, that is, the ability to use the power of heaven and earth. The stronger the connection, the stronger the spirit!

Zhao Hong sighed: It turns out that this is the so-called essence of "caring but not strength, using but not gathering"! Suddenly, the heart is very comfortable, and the spiritual soul traction aura is also flowing water, and it is divided into yin and yang in the body. Suddenly, he felt nothing but indescribable joy.

I don't know how long it has been, Zhao Hong feels that his soul is constantly filling. At this moment, suddenly in the depths of the sea of knowledge, the divine soul seemed to touch a barrier, and a barrier was stuck there. His mind moved, and he concentrated the power of his soul and rushed away with all his might.

"Bang bang......" He vaguely heard the cracking of the barrier, and the old barrier disappeared without a trace.

He exhaled a cloudy breath, not expecting to break through the barrier so easily. At this moment, he only felt that his divine soul was much stronger, and he understood the mystery of soul refining a little more. And the meridians of the whole body have also become thick and broad, and the strength of the flesh has increased several times.

In addition, he was surprised to find that the inner room, which was originally dim and indistinguishable to the naked eye, was now extremely clear, and it seemed that within a radius of a few zhang around, the wind and grass were all under his control.

Zhao Hong was extremely surprised, and after discovering that he had soul consciousness, his communication and invocation of the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth became more unimpeded.

"Hey, how is it possible? You kid can train your soul to the 'virtual realm' in one day?" The old voice, which had been quiet for a long time, sounded again.

When Zhao Hong was impacting the barrier just now, he realized that his divine soul should be to break through the "virtual realm", and the soul consciousness is a sign of officially entering the virtual realm. At this time, he was confirmed again from that voice, and he was even more sure. So he said politely: "This is all taught by the seniors, and the younger generations are grateful." ”

There was a "hum" in the ring, as if it was a little woman's coquettish anger, as if it was not quite like it.

Zhao Hong now has soul sense, and he can try to probe his soul sense into the ring to see what it is. But he had no intention of doing so, and he didn't want to act recklessly without the consent of this senior. Moreover, the spirit in the ring not only has no malice towards herself, but also has kindness to herself just now, and Zhao Hong will not do anything to offend her.

So after a change of thought, Zhao Hong asked again: "Seniors, the younger generations are new to learning the "Witch Codex", and they still don't understand many places, I hope that the seniors can give advice." ”

"If you have something to say, let it go!" said from the ring.

Zhao Hong clenched his fists and said, "Junior, Zhao Hong, I want to ask my seniors for their names first, how to call them?"

The voice said, "Name? yes, what's my name? I seem to have a surname of Ji, and it doesn't seem to be right." Tell me, boy, what's my name?"

Zhao Hong was speechless and said, "In that case, how about the junior call you 'Grandma Ji'?"

"Bah, you are grandma, old and immortal! Why don't I call you Zhao Lao, I'm not old! What do you know about this kid, I want our sisters to be young back then...... Ah yes, I remember, I also have a sister named Daqing, and I am Xiaoqing. I think that the sisters back then were all alluring to the country and the city, and they were ashamed to spend their flowers in the closed month, haha!"

Zhao Hong listened with his mouth open, and closed it again for a long time, and said, "That's it, or else." I call you Xiaoqing, you call me Zhao Hong, everyone is equal and commensurate with each other, this is always okay, right?"

"Okay, that's pretty much it. Xiaoqing...... Yes, I'm Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing seemed to be very satisfied, happy like a child.

After a while, Xiao Qing stopped and asked, "Boy, I'm very happy, what do you want me to guide you?" It's about cultivation, if you have any questions, just ask, with my guidance, you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zhao Hong hurriedly said: "Xiaoqing, there is no hurry to cultivate, there will be a lot of time in the future." Can you tell me how I can get out of here?"

There was no response in the ring for a long time, and Zhao Hong also frowned. After a long while, Xiao Qing said, "It's been so long, I've forgotten why I'm here, how long have I ......been here?" I didn't think about leaving. Isn't it good here? You can talk to me more here, for so many years, I sometimes wake up, sometimes I fall asleep. I don't remember a lot of things...... Is that all you want to leave?"

Zhao Hong said: "Xiaoqing, I know you are lonely, but even if I want to chat with you here, and there is no food at the bottom of this lake, I can't last long." I am only a mortal, and I will inevitably have to eat whole grains. Just now I also wanted to ask you, it is mentioned in the "Witch Book" that soul refining can clear the valley, but it is not clear what is going on. Can you give me some pointers?"

"Stupid, stupid! Say that you are stubborn, you don't know how to be flexible, and you still don't believe it. Alchemy can strengthen the soul, but can't the soul dementoring? Heaven and earth aura can be refined for one's own use, but can't other living beings? Bringing in the souls of other living beings to replenish one's own essence is not comparable to those grains? Alas, if I were so stupid, I wouldn't know how many years I would have starved to death!" Xiao Qing was full of contempt.

"Soul dementorship?" Zhao Hong was shocked.

......

Bolang Peak, Weiyu Palace.

A beautiful figure standing in the wind is Ye Zijin.

"Little junior sister, what are you thinking?" Another blue shadow slowly approached, it was the second senior sister Mei Ying.

"Second Senior Sister...... Ye Zijin turned around and smiled at Mei Ying, "Why did you say that Master refused to accept Sister Gongsun Yan as a disciple?

Mei Ying smiled slightly and said, "Little junior sister, you are just too kind-hearted, this world is unfair and not peaceful. There are so many people like her in the world, can you help her? Besides, arranging her outside the palace is not many times better than her previous situation? Alas, you don't have to worry too much, I will persuade the master again in the future, and let her old man agree to accept her as a disciple. ”

Ye Zijin silently lowered his head and said softly: "The world is unfair...... Senior sister, you also saw it that day, that Wang Batian caught the nine-tailed young fox, and as a result, the demon beast attacked the city that night, and the leader was also the six-tailed demon fox of the nine-tailed fox clan, do you say there is anything to do with this? If this is the case, then Wang Batian is not because of his own selfishness, causing the entire fire-weary city to be buried together, this world is really unfair!"

"Shhhhh......h

......

In the stone room at the bottom of the lake, Zhao Hong's expression was solemn, and the whole person was like a wooden stake, looking up at the crystal above his head, motionless. Compared with the previous days, he seems to be much thinner at this time.

But if you look closely, you can see that his eyes are like electricity, and there seems to be a flash of essence in the depths of his pupils. In the void above him, there seemed to be a slight fluctuation in the air.

At this moment, above the crystal, a golden-red carp about a foot long flashed by. Zhao Hong seemed to have noticed it, his eyes flashed, and the carp struggled a few times, as if it had suffered great pain, and kept flipping and trying to escape.

At the critical moment, I heard Zhao Hong's "hum", and the carp stopped churning, its body became stiff, and its belly flipped upward, and it died like this. After a while, the carp's body slowly floated upward.

An ethereal shadow was peeled out of the carp's body, and an invisible force seemed to pull it through the void, piercing through the crystal.

Zhao Hong's face showed a slightly joyful expression, but then cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed again, and the phantom gradually came to Zhao Hong, and in a flash, he was ingested into the center of his eyebrows, and he didn't see it.

Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyes.

"It's finally worked......" he sighed and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Just three days ago, Zhao Hong successfully broke through the shackles and refined his soul to the early stage of the virtual realm, he had to immediately practice the "soul dementoring technique", and after a night of practice, after initially mastering the method of soul dementoring, he planned to apply it.

Although he was able to adopt the aura of heaven and earth to nourish the soul and feed the aura back to the essence needed by the body, it was still far from the realm of Bigu after all. Most of the aura that has been cultivated into the body is used to refine the soul and quench the body. And the rest can be turned into essence to make up for the loss of the five organs, very few.

So he had to adopt the method that Xiaoqing said, find another way, and practice the method of soul dementoring at the same time. But trapped in a small stone chamber, his only hope is to wait for the creatures of the lake to swim above the crystal.

It's one thing to master the art of dementoring, but it's another thing to apply it in practice. After three days, he had failed at least dozens of times, and after performing several soul dementoring techniques, he had to sit down and cultivate again to recover the power of the depleted soul. However, fortunately, he has cultivated his soul sense, and he can feel every grass and tree very clearly within a range of about three or four feet around him, so that every time he casts a soul dementorship, he can prepare in advance, so that he will not be in a hurry. There were even a few times when he almost succeeded.

Although the method of soul dementoring has a certain risk, he obviously can't care about it now. He had already removed the impurities of the souls he had taken as much as possible in order to be pure, and ordinary creatures were no more dangerous than humans, so the danger factor should be much smaller.

However, if there is a chance to go out in the future, this kind of evil sect exercises, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better to use it as little as possible. After all, this kind of removal of impurities is not a 100% thing, and he still understands the principle of accumulating small amounts. Once you accumulate excess and overload, it will not only be harmful to your cultivation, but may even harm your own soul, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But at the same time, he suddenly had a strange conjecture in his heart: Could it be that the reason why this Xiaoqing was crazy was because of the long-term soul dementoring? After all, for ordinary monks, even if the divine soul was nourished by those special treasures, it was impossible for it not to collapse for thousands of years, right?

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. According to the inference of the year of the ring's falling mark, Xiaoqing has been at the bottom of the lake for more than a thousand years, and for a long time, the memories and impurities in those souls have accumulated over time, resulting in the outbreak of the side effects of spiritualism, so Xiaoqing will look crazy today.

While he was thinking, Xiaoqing's voice sounded in his ears again: "That's right, that's it." It's a pity that the traces of the dementor's fluctuations are too heavy, and the movements are too clumsy. If you meet other cultivators with high cultivation, you will certainly not be able to do this, but it will be enough to deal with small fish and small beasts. You can get a few more of them, and you won't be hungry......"
