Chapter Twenty-Three: A song to calm the soul, the song heals the heartache with the spirit
Wu Xian holds a golden bell, Wu Gu holds a stone drum, Wu Yi holds a jade chime, and Wu Li holds a horn. Of these four musical instruments, the bell is the first of all musical instruments, and the rest of the musical instruments are also used by the great witches to communicate with the heavens when they worship the heavens.
As the saying goes, "sound can pass through the gods, music can pass through the quiet, and the way of music can pass through the gods and ghosts". It is difficult for ordinary people to communicate with gods and ghosts, but with the help of specific music, they can communicate with gods and ghosts and borrow power from gods and ghosts. As a deity himself, Houtu does not need such rituals. However, the four great witches must be supplemented by music in order to better assist Houtu and perform the soul song.
Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Gu, and Wu Li each stood in a specific direction, holding a musical instrument, and playing the sound of sacrifice.
Although it is said to be the sound of bells, drums and chimes, but at this moment, when it sounds, there is a sense of faint fairy music. Listening to the sound of sacrifice echoing in the temple, a thin layer of light slowly shrouded in a thin layer of light on the altar formed by the array on this side.
"When I am destined to be in heaven, the dragon is going, and the heroes are ......" A series of humming with beautiful melodies flowed out of the mouth of Houtu. Ritual music mixed with four instruments reverberated through the vast hall.
This is a special piece of music called 'Soul Song', which was originally used to suppress ghosts and spirits or ghosts, or to soothe the souls who died in battle.
The ghosts and gods are the ghosts born on the dark side of the world, and they belong to the dead world, but now that the world is broken, the dark side of the world will inevitably be seriously polluted, and the ghosts and gods born in the netherworld will also be degenerated. Similar to the unjust spirits and demons born of resentment, these things are full of resentful malice towards the living. This is how the soul song was born.
The Song of the Soul Suppression, or Requiem Song, is a song dedicated to suppressing fallen souls, or to soothe or motivate the souls of the fallen in battle. These two different effects each contain a nine-fold change, a total of nine twists and eighteen folds.
At this moment, the soul suppression song was cast from the hands of Hou Tu, which should have been released in an extremely rough way, suppressing or soothing a wide range of souls. But this kind of rough way is not suitable at the moment, in order to save the young man on the altar, Houtu has to cooperate with the four great witches to make the effect of the soul song as refined as possible, and limit it to a certain range.
After a certain transformation, the soul song plays a mysterious role. A force that shook his heart was transmitted to Ling Yun's heart through singing. Any life that hears the soul song will eliminate negative emotions such as annoyance, resentment, hatred, and sadness.
Even Ling Yun, who was sleeping on the altar, heard this heavenly voice that could move his heart at this time. In Ling Yun's heart, the true talisman of the red book and jade characters that he had imagined was guarding a little spiritual light, so that he would not sink here.
At this moment, he seemed to be in his mother's body, and the cold and uneasiness surrounding the spirit were dispelled by a gentle feeling, and a gentle force encompassed his spiritual thinking.
Originally, the dark shadow on Ling Yun's spirit was eating away at his spiritual thinking all the time. But when Houtu sang the soul song, the black shadow seemed to be suppressed by an inexplicable force, and it actually stopped. Without the suppression of the black shadow, Ling Yun's spirit finally got a chance to breathe, and his drowsy spiritual thinking gradually recovered.
As if sensing that the terrifying black shadow had been suppressed, this innate true talisman immediately burst out with spiritual light, awakening Ling Yun. The mighty spiritual light emanated from the innate true talisman, quickly dispelling the haze on his spiritual thinking, making Ling Yun's drowsy spiritual thinking brighten up.
There is always light in the heart, and the dark thoughts do not haunt his gods.
Over the years, Ling Yun has often visualized the Innate True Talisman, making the Innate True Talisman more and more condensed, and at the same time, he has also used the True Talisman to sweep away his thoughts and get rid of many dark thoughts in his heart. In this way, not only can you cultivate the true talisman, but at the same time, you can reduce many negative emotions and thoughts in your spiritual thinking.
In practice, those negative emotions and dark thoughts are all obstacles that hinder practice, and the process of practice is to constantly purify the mind so that one's mind remains pure at all times. Although Ling Yun couldn't keep his mind transparent and immaculate at all times, he tried to get as close to this aspect as possible. So this time, after he saw the terrifying figure of the Chaos Demon God, he was able to keep it for so long without being corrupted and degraded by it.
Outside, the shadow of his spiritual thinking was suppressed by Houtu with a soul song. Inside, there is an innate true talisman that expels the darkness with spiritual light, and gradually forces the shadow into the essence of existence.
The black shadow is attached to Lingyun's spiritual thinking, and it is an invisible existence close to thought. If it is more precise, it is closer to the concept of existence in the form of 'information'. In terms of practice, the black shadow is roughly similar to the inner demon or the yin demon. Just as people are afraid when they see terrible things, they are the cause when they see terrible things, and they are the result when they are afraid. Leaving a feeling of fear of the same thing in the mind is a type of inner demon.
This description may not be accurate, but the black shadow attached to Ling Yun's spiritual mind is roughly similar to this: seeing that the Chaos Demon God is the cause, and having an image concept of it is the effect. The combination of cause and effect has become the shadow of this kind of inner demon that can erode people's spiritual thinking.
Houtu and the Ten Witches and others had not specifically studied how to restrain this spiritual pollution, so they could only slowly try to treat it.
"It seems to have worked!" Hou Tu sang the Soul Song while using the power of all things to observe the effect of the Song of the Soul Suppression on him. When she saw the young man's spirit slowly rising and falling, she immediately knew that the soul song worked.
"You have to be careful!" Hou Tu's eyes looked at the dark shadow in Ling Yun's spiritual thoughts, his face was calm, and he said to Wu Xian and the four of them.
She didn't stop the soul song, and continued to hum the fifth twist variation, and at this point, the soul song gradually got better and better, and gradually began to reach a climax. Accompanied by the wonderful sound of the earth in the back, the soul song is like a mountain flowing water, gurgling down. The innate true talisman of Lingyun's spiritual core, along with the natural sound of the earth, cooperates to remove spiritual pollution.
The transparent and clear spiritual light burst out from the depths of the spiritual mind, and when Hou Tu's gaze swept away, he saw that the spiritual light forced out the dark shadow attached to the spirit.
"Good opportunity!" Hou Tu seized the opportunity, and with a thought in his heart, the soul song penetrated into the underworld, wrapping the dark shadow.
The black shadow seemed to know that the situation was not good, and its body swelled up and down, as if it was about to explode. Looking at him like that, it seems that even if he is wiped out, he has to pull a person on his back.
Hou Tu noticed the movements of the black shadow, and immediately knew that even if this thing was not the main body, it should have some wisdom and spirituality, and could do some simple things on its own. If he is really allowed to succeed, I am afraid that even if Ling Yun is immortal, he will be shaken and become a demented fool.
"How can you be so presumptuous in front of my eyes?"
With a sneer, she just stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and countless heavenly sounds converged into one note. Immediately after, countless notes fluttered like snowflakes and fell on Ling Yun's body. Immediately after, the pills placed in formation on the altar exploded, and the pill qi surrounded Ling Yun's body. The note and the Dan Qi quickly sank into Ling Yun's body.
The next moment, a terrible roar sounded on Ling Yun's body, and immediately after, a black shadow roared out from him. Straight to the four great witches standing around.
"Be carefulโโ! Wu Xian's heart tightened, and he shouted as he shook the golden bell in his hand.
"Whew-" The black shadow suddenly thundered, and the whole body was stunned.
Before it could break free from the bell, Houtu immediately seized the opportunity and slashed down with a divine light on his backhand. The sword-like divine light hit the black shadow, and the black shadow disappeared in an instant.
Destroying it so easily made Wu Xian and the others stunned.
Hou Tu seemed to know their doubts, so he said: "If this thing is in the human mind, I still feel that it is difficult to deal with it. But once it is exposed to reality, things that have no entity to rely on are like blisters that can be popped like blisters, and there is not much difficulty. โ
"I told you to be careful, because this thing must be placed on the human spirit, so you need to be careful not to parasitize it on you after it appears. โ
Wu Xian and the others nodded when they heard this, and immediately, they looked at Ling Yun who was lying on the ground. After getting rid of the spiritual pollution, and the elixir on the bed of the soul, Ling Yun had already woken up at this time.
