Chapter 674 Enlightenment

Huangshan Jun vaguely felt that Mo Hua, the little boy, had a trace of the "dao" transparency, and even suddenly, he didn't look like a human being at all, but a young god who was born according to the Tao.

But in a blink of an eye, this impression changed again.

Mo Hua had just finished eating the leg of lamb and wiped the oil from his hands on his clothes.

He seemed to be just an ordinary, brilliant little monk.

Half is the divinity above the Word, and half is the humanity below the Word, intertwined with each other.

Huangshan Jun looked dazed.

Mo Hua didn't know what Huangshan Jun was thinking.

While wiping his hands, he was still thinking about the knowledge about gods mentioned by Huangshan Jun. He felt that he had benefited a lot, not only increasing his knowledge, but also broadening his horizons as a monk.

It's just that this kind of knowledge is profound and complicated.

There are many details and some are vague.

Mo Hua listened as if he had swallowed a jujube, and he still couldn't "digest" it.

He silently wrote down all the key knowledge, thought about it for a while, and asked some scattered questions.

Mr. Huangshan was a little confused, but he answered them all.

In this way, until the sky was getting late and the glow was pouring into the sky, Mo Hua was about to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, Mo Hua handed over some fruits, spiritual meat, and wine to Huangshan Jun, and said thoughtfully:

"The mountains are deserted and uninhabited. You can keep these offerings and eat them slowly. I will come to see you when I have time..."

Huangshan Jun looked complicated.

Mo Hua wiped his hands on his clothes again, put his clean bones back into his storage bag one by one, then stood up, jumped off the altar table, and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Huangshan Jun. Stopped.

"Little friend..."

Huangshanjun said in a gentle voice.

Mo Hua turned around and looked at it doubtfully.

Huangshan Jun is covered in white mist, with smoke curling up. He is lodged in the clay sculpture of the mountain god, and his face is somewhat blurry.

"Qianxue State Border is not a place to stay for a long time."

"You are practicing in the sect, and then leave when you reach the late stage of foundation building. Even if you delay for some years, it should not exceed ten years..."

"Within ten years... it should be too late..."

Huangshan Jun's voice gradually became lower and lowered to the point of being inaudible.

Mo Hua frowned and wanted to ask why, but when he saw Huangshan Jun's eyes were indifferent and his expression was changing, he did not ask, but nodded and said:

"Thank you Tiger, I will remember it!"

Huangshan Jun breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said:

"I will send you off not far away, little friend, be careful on the way."

Mo Hua stood at the door of the ruined temple, bowed his hands, and then turned to leave.

Mr. Huangshan is sitting in the clay sculpture, his eyes are calm, and he sends his small back in the ink painting away, as if he is saying goodbye to his "old friend".

Old friend?

Huangshan Jun was in a trance for a while.

How many years have it been since I had this kind of experience?

Time has passed, life and death have passed, and the divine way has fallen. How can I still have any "old friends"?

Tianji has changed, it will be good to be alive in the future...

Huangshan Jun raised his head again and looked at the sky, his narrow eyes becoming more and more solemn.

"This day...is getting darker and darker..."

"It's a pity that mortal humans can't see it..."

"My small temple on a dry mountain is in ruins, but I don't know if it can still protect it from wind and rain..."

A deep sigh came from the deep mountain temple.

…

Mo Hua left Dry Mountain and went to Gu's house in Qingzhou City. He asked Aunt Wan about the refining of the formation matchmaker. He also said hello to Uncle Gu and asked about the progress of Huo Buddha's meritorious deeds. Finally, After having a meal, he returned to the sect.

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua lay on the table, took out a pen and paper, and began to sort out the knowledge about the way of the gods that he had learned from Lord Huangshan.

Formations are power, spells are power, and spiritual consciousness is power.

Monastic knowledge is also a kind of power.

He has extensive knowledge and can take advantage of poor cognition to "cheat" others.

If you lack knowledge and have cognitive impairment, you may be the one who is "scammed to death".

Therefore, the newly learned spiritual knowledge should be firmly remembered, pondered over, and summarized well, so that it can be used for one's own use and integrated into one's own knowledge of spiritual practice.

Things related to gods are vast and complex.

I started to draw ink on the paper, sort out my thoughts, and gradually improve my understanding of Taoism.

The first is the issue of the existence of divine thoughts.

Based on the conversation with the inhuman mountain god, his "good friend" Huangshan Jun, Mo Hua can probably deduce...

"Spiritual Thought" is a broad general term.

All invisible conscious existences in the world can be called "divine thoughts".

The consciousness of humans, the evil thoughts of demons, the will of gods, the ghost thoughts of ghosts, and other evil thoughts are essentially a kind of spiritual thought.

In the monastic understanding of ink painting so far, "god" and "things" are integrated.

God cannot exist apart from things.

Even a natural god, adhering to the laws of the great road, possessing powerful and pure power of divine thoughts, still needs "god statues" or other parasitic things.

If the flesh and blood inhabited by the evil god is destroyed, it is necessary to find another parasitic body.

Mo Hua thought for a while...

Just like the leader in black, who was killed by me using the small meteorite technique, and his flesh and blood were lost.

The Evil God's Eye on his forehead began to break away from its host and drilled into his forehead.

This is true for evil gods, let alone other orthodox gods.

God and things are one, coexisting and coexisting.

According to this speculation, once the natal statue of a god is destroyed, the god will be destroyed, the way will be destroyed, and the great way will be destroyed. In the worst case, the origin will be damaged and the vitality will be greatly damaged.

In extreme cases, it will have to parasitize flesh and blood and turn into an evil god...

However, this is only Mo Hua's current speculation. Whether this is true or not needs to be verified in the future.

In addition to gods, there are ghosts in the world.

Ghosts are different from gods.

Mo Hua held his chin and recalled some evil ghosts he had encountered so far, and confirmed it in his heart.

First of all, the green-faced little ghost who turned into a Taoist child in the landscape Taoist child picture in Heishan Village.

The little ghost is a ghost thought, a parasite, and it is a landscape visualization picture.

Ghosts have their own characteristics.

There are still some fragments in Mo Hua's memory.

These fragments are what appeared in Mo Hua's mind one by one after he swallowed the evil thoughts of the little ghost...

In the deep mountains, a little Taoist child followed a Taoist priest to learn to cultivate immortality.

The Taoist priest was reading a strange book, and the little Taoist boy followed him. As they read, their smiles gradually became weird, and they both wanted to eat people.

The Taoist boy colluded with the Taoist priest, deceived the wandering monk, and started to eat people.

As they ate, the two of them lost their human appearance.

One turned into a red-faced and fanged evil ghost, and the other turned into a green-faced and fanged little ghost.

Later, a white-clothed sword cultivator came on the clouds and cut off the red-faced evil ghost that the Taoist priest had turned into with a sword.

The green-faced little ghost that the Taoist boy had turned into escaped and escaped into the picture, sealed in the Taoist temple...

Based on what Huang Shanjun said about gods and ghosts, Mo Hua roughly speculated that the book that the Taoist priest and the Taoist boy read should be a method of practicing ghost cultivation in the magic way.

After learning this method, the two became "ghost cultivators" and turned into fierce ghosts.

The so-called "eating" people should be "eating" people's consciousness.

According to Huang Shanjun, if ghosts eat people, they must first eat their closest relatives...

Mo Hua thought for a moment and felt that there was even a possibility.

This Taoist boy is actually the son of this Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest practiced ghost skills and was afraid that he would become a fierce ghost and would eat his son first, so he showed the skills of the evil ghost to the little Taoist boy.

In this way, "father and son ghosts go into battle", the father and son become ghosts together and go to "eat" others together.

The Taoist priest is the father, the red-faced evil ghost.

The Taoist boy is the son, the green-faced little ghost.

The two have the same blood, practice the same skills, and the ghosts they turn into are also of the same lineage.

Later, the sword cultivator killed the ghost, the powerful red-faced evil ghost was killed, and the obviously much weaker green-faced little ghost escaped, which is not very reasonable.

It should be...

The red-faced evil ghost transformed by the Taoist priest knew that he would die, so he used his life to hold back the powerful enemy and let his son, the green-faced little ghost transformed by the Taoist boy, escape.

Obviously, it is an evil ghost, but it still has some... "human touch"?

Mo Hua was stunned, and didn't know what to say...

There is another point that Mo Hua is very concerned about.

The white-clothed sword cultivator killed the ghost...

He can kill ghosts with sword energy, so this white-clothed sword cultivator, could it be that he also cultivated... the method of transforming the mind into a sword?

He wouldn't... or a sword cultivator senior from the Taixu Sect?

Mo Hua opened his mouth and was shocked by his own guess.

"It shouldn't be such a coincidence..."

Mo Hua frowned and thought about it, then shook his head.

Guess is just a guess after all.

Now that the red-faced evil ghost is dead, the green-faced little ghost has been "eaten" by himself, and the figure of the white-clothed sword cultivator is also blurred, it is difficult to identify his identity, and it is not easy to verify.

But this does not have much impact.

Mo Hua sorted out the cause and effect again and nodded slightly.

With the knowledge of the study of gods and ghosts, his understanding of the landscape Taoist child picture and the transformation of the green-faced fang ghost became much clearer.

Some of the vague and unclear experiences in the past gradually became clear due to the increase of experience and knowledge in cultivation.

Mo Hua had a vague feeling of telepathy and enlightenment.

After the visualization picture, the second evil spirit was the ancestral picture of Zhang Quan, a corpse cultivator in Nanyue City.

Zhang Quan, including his entire family of ancestors, was a "corpse" when alive, and strictly speaking, should be considered a "ghost" after death.

It's just that after death, they manifested as various "zombies".

But this raises a question:

"If ghosts eat people, they will eat their closest relatives first. Why didn't the corpse ghosts in Zhang Quan's ancestral picture eat Zhang Quan first?"

Mo Hua frowned.

The reason why the descendants of this large family of corpse cultivators in the Zhang family are declining, and only Zhang Quan is left, is it because...

they were "eaten" by their ancestors?

In the end, only Zhang Quan was left.

If Zhang Quan is eaten again, the Zhang family will be extinct.

The Zhang family's ancestors had "foresight" to restrain the corpse ghosts of the past generations in the family, leaving Zhang Quan as the only one to continue the incense?

Or was it because the Zhang family's "ancestral map" was special?

This visualization map was naturally suitable for ghosts to live in?

Mo Hua was very curious.

He wanted to find Zhang Quan, or the corpse ghosts of the Zhang family's ancestors to verify it, but unfortunately they were all "stewed" in the same pot and "swallowed" whole.

When "swallowing" them, Mo Hua's divine consciousness was already very strong.

These corpse cultivators' ghost thoughts were destroyed quite thoroughly, so Mo Hua didn't see much of the remaining memories.

Mo Hua felt a little sorry.

But the Zhang family visualization map also reminded Mo Hua...

Mo Hua remembered that the Zhang family's corpse ghosts were "extermined", and the blank visualization map left was still hidden in his Nazi ring.

And now there is a new resident in the picture - the Five Elements Sect's Five Elements Source Pattern, which looks like a strange eye...

Mo Hua was startled, and suddenly his heart was chilled.

Strange eyes...

It has its own evil thoughts, can be divided, can be parasitic, and contains the five elements law...

This Five Elements Source Pattern, its body can't be a...

evil god? !

Mo Hua took a breath of cold air.

I carry an evil god with me?

Mo Hua murmured: "No way..."

Since the probability of deciphering is too low, and the second-grade Five Elements formation can't be "extracted", the Five Elements Formation Flow Diagram that sealed the Five Elements Source Pattern was thrown into the Nazi Ring by Mo Hua to "eat dust".

But now think about it, the secret contained in this source pattern is probably not simple at all...

Mo Hua wanted to take out the Five Elements Formation Flow Diagram to have a look, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

Ignorance is bliss.

I didn't know its details before, so I didn't take it seriously.

But now that he knew that the existence of this source pattern was very strange, and it might even be an "evil god", Mo Hua had to be alert.

Let's talk about it later...

When his realm is higher, his spiritual consciousness is stronger, or he "eats" some more spiritual essence, and his spiritual consciousness has further changed, he will take the time to take a closer look at this source pattern.

In addition to these, the "ghost" in Mo Hua's impression seems to be gone.

There are also "demons" in Yu'er's nightmare.

Mo Hua frowned.

These "demons" are a bit special. They are deformed and have mixed limbs of humans and animals. They are obviously not "ghosts".

That is... the evil spirits between heaven and earth?

Or are they puppets or slaves under the control of the evil god?

Mo Hua wrote the word "demon" on the paper, and noted the words "evil spirit" and "evil god slave" at the back.

This is a temporary inference.

I will correct it after seeing more of them and understanding the nature of these "demons".

Mo Hua roughly distinguished between ghost thoughts and evil spirits.

Then there were the gods.

Mo Hua recalled the knowledge about gods and found that Huang Shanjun did not say much, and he must have concealed something.

For example, the secrets of realm and divine rank.

Besides wandering gods and mountain gods, what other gods are there?

River gods? River gods? Land gods?

Heavenly gods? Ancient gods?

How do gods with high realms and huge bodies live in statues?

Where are they usually?

They are not floating in the sky, with bodies as huge as mountains, watching the humans in the world every day...

And humans have weak divine thoughts, so they can't see them?

The quality of the divine essence, and what kind of avenue color does it correspond to? Where can we get those pure gold, jade white and glass-colored divine essences...

The more Mo Hua knows, the more he feels that he doesn't know.

This world is really profound...

Mo Hua shook his head and sighed.

Huang Shanjun didn't say these things.

It's possible that he didn't know at all, or it's possible that he knew but didn't say it on purpose.

Mo Hua couldn't force it.

Do not do to others what you don't want others to do to you. There are some things that he doesn't want to tell others.

And at present, this knowledge of gods is almost enough.

Based on this knowledge of "secrets of gods" and other information Huang Shanjun said, Mo Hua began to make plans for the next step.

First, it is to transform the mind into a sword.

The true secret of Taixu's mind into a sword!

This divine mind sword secret, in theory, should be hidden in Taixu Sect.

But Mo Hua asked for a long time, but there were not many clues, so he could only pay attention and continue to look for it.

Mo Hua couldn't help but daydream.

When he grows up and grows taller, he will also learn from the predecessors of Taixu Sect, wear an eye-catching white Taoist robe, and then fly on the sword to travel. When he sees evil ghosts, he will transform his mind into a sword and kill them with one sword.

It's very cool just to think about it...

The more Mo Hua thought about it, the more he felt that he had to learn this divine sword-transforming technique!

Then there was the divine formation.

Since it was a formation, Mo Hua naturally wanted to learn it.

And learning the Tianyan Jue was like getting on a "pirate ship", and it was very likely that he would "offend" the evil god in the future.

The divine formation that could restrain the gods was obviously also very important.

It's a pity that Huang Shanjun was a mountain god and didn't understand the formation. He only heard of this kind of formation, but didn't know what the so-called divine formation was.

Is it one of the two yin and yang, three talents, four images and five elements, seven stars and eight trigrams formations?

Or is it completely different from these formations, and a completely different formation branch?

This also requires him to find and comprehend it himself in the future.

Mo Hua felt a little itchy and a little excited.

The divine sword-transforming technique and the divine formation must be found slowly, and there is no rush for the time being.

The most critical issue at present is the cultivation problem.

We must find a way to get the "divine essence" to further transform the divine consciousness, thus clearing the obstacles for the breakthrough of the foundation-building realm.

Divine essence is extremely precious.

Only gods have divine essence.

The only god Mo Hua knows at present is Huang Shanjun, but no matter what, he can't attack Huang Shanjun and extract his divine essence.

Huang Shanjun is a good friend!

Not only Huang Shanjun, but other serious gods cannot be attacked.

In this way, there is only one way left, full of taboos and blood...

Hunting the evil god!

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

The evil god is too powerful.

With his current divine power, he is definitely not the opponent of the evil god.

But through his understanding of the gods, Mo Hua also found some loopholes.

As Huang Shanjun said:

"Evil gods will divide preaching..."

"...A great evil god will often divide his divine body into many first-, second-, or third-grade 'godly skeletons' and spread them to various low-grade states in Kyushu to spread evil ways to the greatest extent and borrow people to fall. The desire to feed oneself back..."

The unified and powerful evil god "divine body", he did not dare to take action on.

However, most of the evil god "gods" who are scattered across the nine states and preaching are in the first- and second-level realms.

Forget it if it's level three, you definitely can't beat it.

But the corpse of the evil god of the first and second grades should not be his opponent.

Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.

The evil god wants to pick the small ones to "eat".

Mo Hua nodded.

The golden evil eye that was parasitic on the black-clothed leader that day should be one of the "divine skeletons" used by the Lord of the Evil God to preach after his differentiation.

As long as you are well prepared, don't leak any rumors, and secretly "eat" the remains of one or two evil gods, the Lord of the Wilderness should not be able to detect it.

After all, Mo Hua heard the big-eyed man say, "The vast wilderness is endless, with thousands of divine corpses..."

I don’t know if this “ten thousand” actually refers to the fact that there are indeed thousands of differentiated “divine skeletons”, or it is an imaginary reference, just to exaggerate to show that the wild god is very strong and has many divine skeletons...

But in any case, the number of divine remains is definitely not a small number.

Eat one or two, his majestic master doesn't hurt or itch, and he shouldn't be stingy and care about himself.

It's just that your hands and feet have to be hidden, it's best not to let Him know.

There is another problem.

Once the "divine marrow" is swallowed, the divinity will be strengthened, the humanity will collapse, the original intention will be lost, and the Taoist heart will become more and more indifferent.

Mo Hua frowned.

He didn't want to become a cold little evil god.

But this problem seems to be somewhat unsolvable.

He didn't even ask Huangshanjun, because Huangshanjun is a mountain god, a god rather than a human being, and he does not need to consider the issue of "human nature".

Mo Hua lay on the table and meditated hard.

He carefully recalled and pondered over the monastic knowledge related to the gods over and over again.

I don’t know how long it took, but a hint of enlightenment suddenly appeared in the ink painting.

He found that he thought too highly of "gods" and overestimated "divinity" too much.

It is not necessary to think of God as “god”.

Although gods are born in accordance with the Tao and are powerful, invisible spiritual beings, they are also one of all living beings in the world and all living things.

The gods surrendered to the great road.

Human nature is the Tao, and divinity is also the Tao.

What the monks seek is the way from heaven.

In this case, whether humans or gods, they are all part of the "Dao" and are not absolute contradictions.

Since they are both "Tao", you can have both!

Adhere to human nature, hone divinity, become one with God and man, and merge into an indestructible Taoist heart that is consistent with the Tao.

This seems to be the path I want to take!

When I think of this, the ink painting is like enlightenment, and my mind is clear.

There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, the heavenly secrets were rising and falling, black and white, light gold, three colors intertwined, shining brightly.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the faint trembling sound of the Taoist monument seemed to be heard.

Mo Hua felt that there were pale golden lines on his mind, flashing past along the path of the mysterious formation.

Somehow, his understanding of "the way of heaven" seemed to have deepened. This understanding seemed to be integrated into instinct and engraved into the heart of the way...
