Chapter 237: What is a Demon?
Not long after taking his seat, Xi Sheng appeared at the lectern in front of him.
Compared with yesterday's extremely simple moon white clothes, today's clothes are a bit cumbersome, with blue robes and white robes, three layers inside and three layers outside.
Lisheng was in the twelfth row, and because the people in front were taller, she was completely blocked behind. If Xi Sheng didn't raise his chin to look, he wouldn't be able to see her at all.
It was naturally impossible for Lisheng to stretch his neck to look at her, and he picked up a book and covered his entire face, lying on the table, which meant that he would definitely not study hard.
He was in the second row behind the carp, and from time to time he could feel his hot gaze, looking at the prey, and the people who looked at it were uncomfortable. This is also the biggest reason why the carp sheng wants to lie down.
Separated from Shang Hongqiu, Shang Hongqiu is tall, I don't know if it is voluntary or what, I ran to the last penultimate row, because it is in the back, the people in front can see it clearly, so it is also the same as moxibustion, I am paying attention to the carp sheng throughout the whole process, frowning from time to time, I don't know what I am thinking.
Xi Sheng looked around, did not pick up the book on the table, but walked off the podium, walked around in front of the table, and said as he turned: "Because there are several demon spirits here, so today we will not talk about spell spirit runes, but first explain the matter of this demon spirit." ”
The people below didn't squeak.
Xi Sheng continued: "I think everyone knows that the beginner disciples of Jingque Mountain have rarely been demons since ancient times. Although the demon spirit can also be challenged when looking for the que, there are very few demons who have cleared the level. Even if they clear the level, they will come to this temple of bitterness to study spells just like you after staying in the mountain for a month. However, after the study of the Bitter Learning Hall is over, the human disciples will be assigned to continue their cultivation under the head of the Six Peaks, and the demon spirit will stop at this step. Of course, it doesn't mean that they won't be admitted to the demon spirit disciples, they can choose to leave, or stay, and the condition for staying is that they must become the spiritual envoys of a certain disciple in the mountain. ”
"Oh, this condition is basically because I am worried that the demon spirit will become more and more uncontrollable without making a contract, right? To put it bluntly, are you still afraid of the power of the demon spirit?"
Because it was very quiet, and the influence of the spell, even if she muttered quietly, it was clear to everyone.
All the disciples looked back at her in unison, but because she was covering her face with a book, no one could see her expression.
Xi Sheng's face did not change, but he walked towards Lisheng.
"Knock on the table," he tapped his finger on the table, "You get up and answer." ”
Only then did Lisheng realize that he was talkative, but Xi Sheng was in front of him, and he didn't dare not listen, so he quickly pushed the book down and stood up.
"You are a demon, then you can tell me, after you finish your studies in Jingque Mountain, will you choose to leave, or will you stay and continue to serve Jingque Mountain?" Xi Sheng frowned, as if he was giving Lisheng a problem.
"Hehe, it's not that I can't answer this question, but, you see, although I'm a demon, I have now made a contract with someone else, and it seems that it is still the most powerful soul contract in the contract...... Even if I want to stay, it depends on the spirit master's intentions, I have to follow the leader!" Lisheng put the choice on Luo Jue, but skillfully avoided the question.
But as soon as everyone heard him say the soul contract, they were immediately shocked.
"She said she had a soul pact?"
"I can't believe it's a soul contract ......"
"Really?
Lisheng rolled his eyes and continued: "There is no way to break the soul contract, and I am also helpless!" said, pretending to be helpless, and sighed heavily.
Xi Sheng was unmoved and said: "The conditions for the formation of the soul contract are extremely harsh, and if you can successfully conclude it, it means that your potential is indeed good." It seems that it makes sense for the master to choose you as an apprentice. However, the soul contract is not without a way to crack it......"
"Is there one?!" Luo Jue told her no!
“...... But it seems that you don't plan to break the contract with the current spirit master, even if you tell you how to crack it, it won't be of much use to you. Xi Sheng really didn't have a backache when he said this.
n Lisheng raised his eyebrows: "The teacher is not me, how do you know that it is useless to me?
"Since I can be your teacher here, what I know, even if there are no eight points in the world, there is half of the eight wildernesses. I can tell you that there is more than one way to crack the soul contract, if you really want to know, you can come to me privately after class, and I will tell you......"
"Really!?"
"Don't get excited. When you come to me, you must take your Spirit Lord with you. Cracking and concluding are two people's business, and there is no solution to the prayer of one party alone. ”
You even want Luo Jue to know?!
Lisheng rolled her eyes violently, how could she possibly pull Luo Jue to find her. Besides, I didn't have her consent when I signed the contract!
His eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "I just asked casually, I don't mean anything else......"
"Do you have any other questions you want to know?" It could be seen that Xi Sheng didn't like nonsense very much, and Lisheng snorted, and immediately made a serious face: "In the school, I welcome i to ask questions." It's better to stump my question. ”
She is still very confident in her own learning.
Lisheng shook his head, he already felt the sight of many torches behind him, but he didn't dare to talk too much, and sat down with a smile.
Xi Sheng looked around, and then continued: "Before I start explaining what a demon is, do you have any other questions to ask?"
“......”
No one spoke.
Xi Sheng sighed, and didn't know if she wanted someone to open her mouth or what, her expression was slightly heavy: "Since no one asked, then I'll continue." What are the following topics: what is a demon, what is the definition of a demon, what are the types of demons, and what is the contract between humans and the demon world...... And so on, I will explain them one by one. If there is something you don't understand during the process, you can just ask. ”
Everyone nodded in unison, especially Lisheng, who was rarely interested, it should be because she was a demon, and her ears were erect longer than anyone else.
Xi Sheng sat back at the podium, took the ancient incense fan in his hand, and fanned out: "Speaking of demons, in a broad sense, they are all non-human things, abnormal images derived from the world, and they must be demons." For example, the common trees, flowers, and grasslands cannot speak, but after years and years, they can speak and even transform into a human form, which is an uncommon image, so it is a 'demon'. Shang Hongqiu, what do you say is a demon?"
Suddenly named Shang Hongqiu, who was the last head, and everyone looked back together.
I saw Shang Hongqiu with one hand on the table, one hand on his chin, his head down, as if he was asleep, and he didn't hear Xi Sheng calling him at all.
"Senior Brother Qiu, Senior Brother Qiu!" the disciple next to him hurriedly whispered to him.
"Shang Hongqiu?"
Xi Sheng shouted again, and the person had already arrived, and knocked on Shang Hongqiu's table.
Shang Hongqiu opened his eyes, glanced up at Xi Sheng, stood up very calmly, and was lazy: "What are you asking?"
It's just that I'm sleeping, and I'm still so unscrupulous! Khan ~~~
Xi Sheng seemed to be used to this situation, and did not get angry, but repeated again, a rare good temper: "I ask you...... What is a demon?"
Shang Hongqiu frowned, rolled his eyes, and looked at the carp sheng in front of him.
Lisheng was watching the excitement, and when he saw him looking at himself, he couldn't help glaring at him, "What are you looking at? Don't you see a beautiful woman......?"
Shang Hongqiu pursed his lips slightly, and slowly stretched out his hand to point to the carp sheng, the words were correct and round, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him: "It's either a human or a demon, such as ...... She!"
The resentful little eyes are clear, but what makes people uncomfortable is the sentence 'not a person'.
Xi Sheng glanced back at Lisheng, and he didn't expect Shang Hongqiu to say this, his face was a little ugly: "You sit down!"
"Teacher, am I not right?" Shang Hongqiu didn't intend to give up this topic, and asked with a smile: "Monsters or something, it's really not a human, but a strange thing...... Isn't it?"
"This little brother, you'd better pay attention to what you say, there's more than that woman and a demon here. When Moxibustion Chi heard this, he couldn't bear it, and immediately said: "If you dare to say that monsters are things, I will pull out your tongue." ”
The voice is very light, not hurried or slow, but it makes people feel chills in their hearts.
Qi Qi looked at the moxibustion behind the carp sheng, and for a while there was a small discussion, and the carp sheng almost whistled him.
Well said!
Shang Hongqiu's cold eyes were relaxed at Shang Moxibustion, but there was still no one in his eyes, he snorted coldly and sat down.
Of course, he didn't say a word, but that look really made Moxibustion want to tear off his neck.
Xi Sheng exhaled lightly, although he had long expected that these people would be difficult to manage together, the arrival of Lisheng was like a fuse, which directly ignited the entire gunsmoke.
"Okay, if you have something to solve privately, if you talk some nonsense here with me, then hurry up and go back and forth, the sea of bitterness is endless, and people without quality are welcome!"
After saying this, everyone looked at each other, and the good-natured Xi Sheng became angry, it was indeed the limit of her patience, and if she continued to 'wave', she would be repatriated.
For a moment, there was silence.
Xi Sheng saw that the atmosphere had recovered, and then continued: "Although what Shang Hongqiu said was a bit radical, it was really not unreasonable. Demons, inhumans, and all things. And those who call this "monster" generally have three characteristics. ”
After a pause, he continued: "One, the 'demon' has the breath of life, which is different from our human life, and this breath of life is called 'essence'. Second, the form of 'demon', from the perspective of human feelings, is an existence that transcends our thinking and cognition. In other words, the appearance of the 'demon' will make us feel that this world is incredible and beyond common sense. Three ......"
Speaking of three, Xi Sheng obviously paused for a long time, as if thinking about what to say, and frowned.
Not to mention, before listening to her explanation, the understanding of 'demon' is indeed not a person, or just living a little longer, after listening, I feel that the creature of the demon is still very mysterious.
Xi Sheng sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "Presumably, everyone knows that the Eight Desolations have four realms, the human realm, the fairy realm, the demon realm, the god realm, and the Lower Yellow Spring, which is not affiliated with them. The Lower Yellow Spring is the back of the Demon Realm, the original Demon Realm ceased to exist after the demons were destroyed by the God Realm 100,000 years ago, and now the Lower Yellow Spring is just a place for the dead. 'Demons' appear within the reach of humans, including the human realm and the fairy realm, unlike gods and demons, which appear in the heavenly realm or hell and other places that humans cannot reach. This is also the biggest difference between demons and gods and demons. ”
"Again, how are monsters formed? First, they can be formed by the cultivation accumulated over the years of animal spirits, and after becoming a demon, they will have a human form or a similar human form, and they will have mana, which is what we often call demon power. If there is no good person to guide it, this kind of monster cultivated by animals is generally harmful to humans. What needs to be pointed out here is that if the beast is dedicated to goodness and enlightenment in the process of cultivation, it is possible to cultivate into an immortal or a demigod, and the divine beast is the ultimate of the monster. ”
"Again, the definition of 'demon' is 'spirit'. Spirits have a wide range of areas, and they are lifeless at first, and are generally spirits derived from objects that have been enlightened over time or from ancient legends and myths. Therefore, the power of the spirit will be stronger than that of the demon, and there are many common spirits, and the artifacts you often use are representatives, so I won't give examples one by one. Demons and spirits are collectively called youkai, and youkai are the names of people who have signed a contract with humans. ”
said so much in one breath, but it didn't necessarily mean how tired Xi Sheng was.
After a sigh of relief, he continued: "Regarding the demon spirit, this is too troublesome to talk about, and I won't go into detail here. I have to mention the Eight Desolation Pillars in the Eightfold Heaven, presumably from the moment everyone stepped into the fairy realm, they had a certain degree of understanding of the Eight Desolation Pillars......"
"What are the Eight Desolation Pillars?"
Before Xi Sheng finished speaking, Lisheng rigorously carried forward the style of asking if he didn't understand, and asked again.
Obviously, it is already in the spirit transformation period, and he is still a newly acquired disciple of Baibulang, but he doesn't even know what the Eight Desolation Pillars are, which is too ......
Xi Sheng sighed secretly, and had no choice but to explain: "The validity of the contract between humans and monsters can take effect, all thanks to the Eight Desolate Pillars in the Eight Heavens. The Eight Desolation Pillars were specially set up by the Divine Realm before they disappeared, and no one has been able to reach the Eight Heavens to find out, so for 100,000 years, demons and talents can get along well. ”
"Divine Realm, Ah ......" mentioned the Divine Realm, and Lisheng suddenly jumped into the confusion of the Divine Realm that Bai Bulang said before, and suddenly disappeared.
Just like Bai Bulang said, it's better not to explore the things of the divine realm in detail.
Xi Sheng didn't know if he found anything on her face, his eyes sank, but they quickly regained their brightness, "Although demons and humans are different, people and demons can get along in harmony, I hope everyone will not be prejudiced against each other, it is a kind of fate to be able to learn or grow under one roof, the fairy world is very particular about Taoism, if you can get rid of prejudices and cherish each other, this is a kind of growth, and it is also extremely beneficial to cultivation......"
Saying all this, in fact, I just don't want them to get into trouble.
Lisheng could hear what she meant, and then looked back at Moxibustion Chi behind him, saw him shrug his shoulders, and then looked at Shang Hongqiu, and signaled reconciliation with his eyes.
However, Shang Hongqiu smiled lightly, and made a gesture with his hand to pinch her, as if he would not stop there.
Lisheng: "......"
Therefore, if ,,,you can bear it, you can bear it, and if you can't bear it, you can only be sorry for Bai Bulang's repeated instructions.
