Chapter 240: Would you consider changing your master? [Thanks to the leader "2BR02B"]
How can I finish eating meat? I have been studying books and swords for thirty years.
Fortunately, my literary talent has not met Huang Zu, but my literary talent is still in trouble with Ma Zhou.
Since your talent is hard to use in the world, is it really true that you are not worthy of being a marquis? You must know that when you were young, you had the ambition to be the best in the world! Bang.
…
In the north section of Flower Street in Shenluo City, there is a small shop hidden in the bustling street. The front is gloomy, with no decorations except the Spring Festival couplets on the doorposts. It looks out of place among the shops on both sides that are more colorful than each other.
But only those who understand know that this small shop does not have much business, but all those who come in and out are wealthy people.
The name of the shop is "Yimengzhai".
One day, a young Taoist priest in green came to the door of Yimengzhai.
Next to him was a rich young man dressed in fine clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his temperament was free and easy, but also a bit vulgar.
These two people were none other than Li Chu, the abbot of Deyun Temple, and his good friend, the seventh young master of the Wang family.
The two young men walked into the door and felt a warm atmosphere. A girl in a light blue dress came forward and said softly, "Please wait a moment, Luo Xiangu is busy."
"Yes." Li Chu responded, and then took out a translucent night-shining pearl from his sleeve. It looked to be the size of a thumb and was crystal clear. He said, "When the fairy is free, please hand this thing to her."
"OK."
Although the night-shining pearl was extremely valuable, the girl did not even glance at it, but just took it in her hand and responded calmly. It can be seen that the waiter here has a high standard.
When she turned and left, she only glanced back at Li Chu three times.
The space on the first floor was not big, with only two or three tables and no one else. Li Chu and Wang Longqi sat here, and another girl served them tea.
On the wall hangs a four-character calligraphy, “Be there.
After Li Chu asked Manager Liu about the Soul Gu Master, he followed his master's instructions and returned to the Taoist temple to get the token from the second brocade bag, and found the small shop called Yimengzhai.
This is a place that sells "dreams".
That’s right, many dignitaries are willing to come here and spend a fortune just to buy a dream.
The owner of this shop is Luo Xiangu, who is said to have achieved great accomplishments in soul cultivation.
The dreams she sells are completely different from illusions.
Illusions may allow you to experience a lot in an instant, but those are all very simple and crude scenes that cannot stand up to scrutiny at all.
Moreover, the essence of illusion is to attack, and it consumes a lot of human body. After escaping from a very long illusion, mortals will be exhausted and even seriously ill.
But the dreams sold by Luo Xiangu are different. She can make you fall asleep peacefully and have a sweet dream.
You meet the people you want to meet the most, go to the places you want to go the most, get the things you want the most, and everything in the dream feels so real. When you wake up, the sky is bright and you feel refreshed.
Du Lanke was left at Manager Liu's house, and Li Chu returned to the Taoist temple alone. After hearing about this magical shop, Wang Longqi also wanted to go and see it for himself.
The fox girl wanted to come too, but leaving the little Thunder Dragon at home alone... was too risky, so she had to stay home and beat the child.
"Is it really that magical that this fairy lady can enter dreams?" Wang Longqi couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. The soul is extremely mysterious and has many magical powers. It is not impossible to create a real dream for a short period of time..."
When Li Chu said this, he thought of the "nightmare" at the beginning. It could also create very realistic dreams, but everything in the dream must be what he knew and saw.
Like Luo Xiangu, who creates a dream that satisfies every customer, she must be exposed to things that neither she nor her customers have ever seen. I wonder how she does it.
After chatting for a while, a young girl came over and invited them softly, "Xian Gu Luo, please come upstairs."
Following the girl along the narrow staircase, we arrived at a quiet room on the second floor.
The room was covered with heavy curtains, and only a night-shining pearl as big as a human head glowed faintly in the center. In front of the night-shining pearl sat a woman with slightly gray hair and a black robe. She must be the legendary Luo Xiangu.
She looked between the two men and said to Li Chu, "You are his disciple, right?" Then she said to Wang Longqi, "You probably want to enter my dream."
"The fairy's calculations are really accurate." Wang Longqi chuckled and sat down opposite Fairy Luo.
Li Chu also sat down and said, "Yes, my master asked me to ask the fairy for the method of 'Soul Out of the Body'."
"Okay." Luo Xiangu nodded gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Those who do business go first, and those who do favors will wait."
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Longqi with her bright eyes, "Put your hand on the night-shining pearl."
Wang Longqi felt something was wrong and quickly stretched out his hand as he was told.
He placed his right hand on the huge night-shining pearl, and suddenly ripples appeared on the surface of the pearl.
Luo Xiangu frowned, paused, and then said, "Now think about what you want to dream about."
call--
Suddenly, a group of black ripples appeared in the night pearl, just like ink poured into a lake.
Hmm…
A hint of disbelief and disgust flashed across Luo Xiangu's eyes.
But she was well-informed after all, so she quickly adjusted her mindset and said, "Just go over there and lie down."
Wang Longqi ran to the soft couch beside him with great anticipation and lay down. Luo Xiangu made a gesture with her left hand and pointed with her right hand. Then a storm of strange colors rolled up from the night pearl, and Wang Longqi closed his eyes instantly.
Luo Xiangu then withdrew her hands and clapped her hands twice.
Two girls came in and dragged Wang Longqi away very skillfully.
"They will take your friend to the next room to rest, and he will wake up soon." She said to Li Chu, and then asked: "Can you tell me why he suddenly asked you to come to me to learn 'Soul Out of Body'?"
Li Chu said truthfully: "Because I need to deal with a Soul Gu Master."
Then he briefly recounted the experiences of Manager Liu and his family, and Luo Xiangu's expression gradually changed.
"They are trying to refine the 'Lifeless Gu'." Her voice was filled with anger. "What a vicious method."
"What is the Wusheng Gu?"
Li Chu asked another question.
Luo Xiangu should know more about soul cultivation than the master. Or maybe the master's main source of knowledge is his ex-girlfriend...
That's why he has broad knowledge.
"That is, from the moment the child's soul is formed and before he is born, he starts to be attacked with soul poison. However, this attack is not to kill the soul, but to refine him with murderous spirit, violent spirit, poisonous spirit, evil spirit...all kinds of evil, so that the baby will be born with a lot of evil spirits."
"When he is born, he will be made to practice the magic soul method and use all kinds of inhuman medicine to prepare a soul that is extremely ferocious in the world. Then he will be extracted and refined into a soul poison. It will be extremely murderous and will leave no grass where it passes."
Luo Xiangu said in a deep voice: "I can teach you my unique method of leaving the body, the 'Spiritual Wandering in the Void'. It is not for the little friendship between me and your master, but only to punish this evildoer who is intolerable by heaven."
A thin friendship?
Li Chu was skeptical for a moment, but still thanked her, "Fairy, you are so kind."
After saying that.
Luo Xiangu turned around and walked into the back door and took out a scroll.
"Although I am willing to teach you, it is still unknown whether you can learn it. After ordinary cultivators merge their primordial spirits in the Shenhe realm, they have to reach the late stage of Hualong or the early stage of Wanxiang before their primordial spirits can leave their bodies. If they force their spirits to leave their bodies, it will be like a candle in the wind, which will be in danger of being extinguished in a moment. And you... probably practice a different kind of inheritance. I can't feel the fluctuations of your true energy. So I need to test the strength of your primordial spirit."
"Okay." Li Chu nodded.
Wow——
Luo Xiangu raised her hand and shook open the scroll, revealing a blank space. She said, "Now stare at this scroll for three breaths."
Li Chu looked at the empty scroll. Although he didn't know her intention, he still stared at it for three breaths as instructed.
Then she said, "Close your eyes!"
So Li Chu closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a magnificent scene appeared in my mind! "Tell me, how many statues of immortals did you see?" asked Luo Xiangu.
"Eighty-one." Li Chu answered truthfully.
Luo Xiangu was silent.
Then, she said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. It doesn't matter if you can't see it. Just wait patiently for a while and you will see it. Tell me, how many there are!"
Li Chu said: "Sorry, it did appear again, there are eighty-three of them."
Luo Xiangu frowned and asked, "Tell me, is the third immortal statue a man or a woman, and what kind of clothes is it wearing?"
Li Chu closed his eyes and searched the picture in his mind, then said: "It is an immortal, wearing a linen gown."
"The twelfth."
"Female fairy, pink Liuxian long dress."
"The thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth."
"A man and a woman...neither of them had any clothes on."
"The sixty-fourth."
"It's a child wearing a bellyband."
"What about the seventieth one?"
"It was a drunk man, shirtless."
“…”
Luo Xiangu was silent for a long time before she said, "Open your eyes."
Li Chu slowly opened his eyes, and all the images in his mind disappeared.
"This Immortal Visualization Picture was taken out by my master from the Ruins of Gods. It can measure the strength of a person's soul. The stronger the soul, the more images of immortals you can see. With the strength of your soul, it should be enough to practice the Out-of-Body Experience."
Luo Xiangu hesitated, but still didn't say anything...
Her master had passed down that there were only sixty-four immortals on this picture, so it was named "Sixty-four Immortals Visualization Picture". Her master had practiced for a lifetime and could only see fifty-nine immortals. Now she has surpassed her master and can see all sixty-four.
But she never thought about...
It turns out that there are more than sixty-four images of immortals in the painting?
The authenticity of the last dozen or so statues could not be verified, but the first sixty-four statues mentioned by Li Chu were all real, which showed that his soul strength was definitely enough, so Luo Xiangu did not worry about it anymore.
Although I don't know what kind of monster he is, it doesn't seem so strange when I think about the fact that he is that guy's apprentice.
…
"The so-called Yuanshen is actually a part of the soul that is combined with the Zhenyuan. Different from the pure soul, the Yuanshen carries your cultivation. Therefore, only when the Yuanshen leaves the body can it have the ability to fight. Getting rid of the shackles of the flesh body is of course beneficial, but it is also full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may die. Therefore, in all the years I have practiced the soul, the number of times I have truly left the body is still very few. When you try to leave the body, you must be very careful."
"In addition, one thing you should pay special attention to is that if your soul leaves your body, you must find someone you trust to take good care of your body. There was an example of a powerful soul leaving your body and traveling far away, and his body was destroyed by someone who took the opportunity. In this way, the soul will lose its foundation and its vitality will dissipate within a few days."
Li Chu held a volume of the Divine Wandering in the Void in his hand and read it silently, while Luo Xiangu pointed out the key points in front of him. Not long after, he had read it through.
He gently put down the book and prepared to give it a try.
Luo Xiangu continued, "Your soul is strong enough. I believe you will be able to master it soon. In a month at the slowest and seven days at the fastest, you will be able to skillfully perform the soul leaving the body. This is your first attempt. As long as you can feel... feel..."
She was stunned again.
because……
Li Chu didn't move.
boom--
The world in Li Chu's eyes suddenly changed, becoming a collection of dark lines and human-shaped flames.
Those lines... from their shapes, you can tell they are walls, tall buildings, streets, vehicles... all inanimate objects.
Those blue human-shaped flames...
It is the soul of other people.
He was out of his body.
Looking at his appearance, apart from being slightly fainter, there seemed to be no other difference. If his real body was not right below him and he was floating in the air, perhaps he really would not have discovered that he was just a spirit.
He could feel his abundant spiritual power still existing in his body, and he could mobilize it at will. This was probably what Luo Xiangu said, that the Yuanshen was in a sense a combination of cultivation and the spirit.
There is an infinite mystery between reality and illusion.
For the soul, all "real" obstacles do not exist. It can pass through floors and walls at will, but it cannot pass through the human body.
Because someone else's spirit is blocking it.
The previous "reality" is the "virtuality" of this world, and the previous "virtuality" is the "reality" of this world.
He tried to touch the Pure Yang Sword again, but couldn't pull it out. He was now unable to touch the "real" existence.
After thinking about it, he tried to perform the sword-controlling technique.
With a clang, the Pure Yang Sword came out of its sheath !
The magical sword technique is a means to communicate between heaven and earth and transcend reality. As long as he can control the sword, whether it is his physical body or his soul, Li Chu has the confidence to fight against a strong enemy.
Because the Pure Yang Sword carries with it powerful spiritual power, it can inflict tons of damage to both the soul and the body.
Although Fairy Luo could not see Li Chu's spiritual state with her naked eyes, she knew what had happened when she saw the long sword behind him unsheathed.
The first time his soul left his body, he could perform sword techniques? Her pupils couldn't help but shrink.
You have to know that the first time the soul leaves the body, it is like a baby's first birth, extremely weak. It takes a difficult period of adaptation before it can gradually become comfortable.
Li Chu's speed in mastering the Out-of-Body experience was already amazing, and now he was able to achieve such a state in his first Out-of-Body experience...
It was like a baby that couldn't wait to get out of the womb before the ten-month pregnancy. It didn't cry or make a fuss once it was born. It just did a few sit-ups and then started boxing! Whoosh——
After Li Chu returned to his original form, he opened his eyes, looked at Luo Xiangu, and said, "Thank you for teaching me the Dharma."
"Let's not talk about anything else." Luo Xiangu looked at him with bright eyes and asked, "Would you consider changing your master?"
Thanks for the tip, I owe 31+1=32 chapters. I'm going out to have a meal, and will finish another chapter when I come back, but it will probably be late at night, so don't wait.
