Real Spirit in the World

Chapter 113 Living True Spirit

The tentacles in the body trembled violently. Li Wuxiang took two deep breaths like a human, letting them slowly calm down.

Then he slightly exerted force on the hand that was pinching Zhao Qi's face, asking him to look at him: "Zhao Qi, do you know what you are saying now?"

At this time, Zhao Qi's attention was focused on his face. He pushed his hand away and stepped back a little: "It's Taiyi! I saw it!"

"What kind? How do you know? You haven't seen it before!"

"You haven't seen it before!? There are so many Taiyi in the world, but I haven't seen them before!?" Zhao Qi stared at him, "Where is this place? It's Lingshan! Do you understand that appearance is determined by the heart? The one who came——"

He suddenly Then he lowered his voice: "... That person is Taiyi! Whatever he looks like in Lingshan is what he is! Do you understand!"

He shook his head again: "Master... Master... He really invited Taiyi down, he really invited Taiyi down, and he succeeded!"

"Shut up first. And what master? He's called Zhao Kui!"

"Oh... Yes, Zhao Kui! Zhao Kui!" Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, "He really asked him to succeed! Bah! That's useless!"

Li Wuxiang reached into his chest, took out the Shijie Collection, and quickly turned to the back part.

In the past few days on the road, he mainly read the front part related to his own practice, and the back part was more profound and abstruse, and he didn't have time to read it carefully.

He turned to the place he wanted to find according to his memory and read it again carefully-

External evil. External evil mainly refers to the things that practitioners may invite when they make vows and pray for the gods they worship during their practice. Most of them happen when they break through the realm.

For example, a practitioner who worships Taiyi may suddenly see a bright light in front of him when he enters into meditation, and Taiyi's appearance may appear, or he may hear a sacred and ethereal voice claiming to be Taiyi, and even give him one or two magical powers. Generally, these things are external evil.

They are basically some spirits hidden in the sacred mountain, perhaps they are monsters with profound Taoism, perhaps they are resentful ghosts, or perhaps they are powerful ghosts and immortals with powerful cultivation a long time ago.

If the practitioner really believes that they are righteous gods, then they will always provide help, guidance, and magical powers to the practitioner. But this thing is equivalent to a harmless demon in the early stage. As the practice progresses, the impact on the primordial spirit becomes more and more huge, and eventually it will gradually seize the practitioner's own mind and invade the practitioner's body, so that these things really come to the world of the living.

At this time, it is called external evil entering the body - generally speaking, the practitioner who has external evil entering the body will have a big change in temperament, but in fact, it is not the temperament that changes, but the body that is taken over.

Once the external evil comes to the world, it will call itself a god, show its magical powers, and stir up bloody storms, which is a great disaster.

But this situation will only happen to practitioners outside the seven Xuanjiao. Because the great emperor worshipped by the practitioners of the seven sects is still alive, no monster dares to pretend, and Taiyi and its gods are suppressed, so the external evil is fearless.

However, the mention of "Taiyi" is just an example. In fact, those who worship Taiyi rarely invite external evil. This has only happened four or five times in the past three thousand years. The vast majority of external evils are invited when worshiping the spirits under Taiyi.

The above are specially noted in the world interpretation collection as the consensus of practitioners all over the world. But then, the book mentions another situation, which seems to be something that can only be confirmed by the Thirty-Six Sects, the Sword Sect and the Six Xuanjiao, and is not known to ordinary casual practitioners-

There are very few "external evils" invited by cultivators, who are actually true gods.

Donghuang Taiyi was suppressed, and the gods under him, such as the Kitchen God, the Door God, the Well Fairy and other thirty-six gods, were destroyed three thousand years ago with the fall of the Ye Dynasty.

These gods had achieved enlightenment during their lifetime, and even after death, their spirits still existed, wandering in the sacred mountains. For example, when Cheng Peixin invited the Door God in Deyang before, she actually invited the wandering True Spirit of the Door God, which can be understood as the unconscious and magical spirit of the Door God.

The "external evil" perceived by a very small number of practitioners is this kind of "True Spirit".

Such a True Spirit is also not something that the flesh and blood can bear, and it will also invade the Yuanshen, but unlike taking over the body and occupying the mind, it will be the fusion of the True Spirit and the Yuanshen of the practitioner, becoming a "living god" with a unique temperament-it has both the memories of the practitioner himself and the instincts contained in the True Spirit.

According to the book, there are currently five people who can be confirmed to be the True Spirits descended to the world.

There are two Siming Zhenjun, that is, the Kitchen God, in a man and a woman, respectively, and are called the Kitchen God Father and Kitchen God Mother. These two live in seclusion in the hinterland of the Central Continent, far away from the diocese and the six sects of Xuanjiao, and their whereabouts are secret.

One is Wufang Zhenjun, that is, the door god, in a male cultivator named Wei Gaoyang. This person has lived for more than 900 years, and Wufang Zhenjun is the incarnation of He Taocheng, the founder of the Shangque Sect of the 36 sects. Wei Gaoyang became the supreme leader of the Shangque Sect.

Similarly, there is also Guiyin Zhenjun, that is, the Well Immortal, in a female cultivator named Jin Zijiu, who has lived for more than 400 years. After the founder of the Tianxin Sect became the Well Immortal, Jin Zijiu was also worshipped as the supreme leader of the Tianxin Sect.

As for the remaining one, Li Wuxiang felt frightened when he saw those lines of words - Jiang Jie, the leader of the Donghuang Taiyi Sect, commonly known as the leader of the Sword Sect... has the Taiyi True Spirit in his body!

Is it true or false?

There are some explanations below this sentence. It says that because the gods under Taiyi have been destroyed, their true spirits have dissipated into the sacred mountain. However, the Taiyi true spirit in Jiang Jie is different. It is a little true spirit that Taiyi intentionally separated when he was suppressed. This true spirit contains Taiyi's power and a part of human luck, which is attached to Jiang Jie to rescue the original body from trouble.

There is also a paragraph that seems to be quoted from Jiang Jie himself - saying that he is not a person chosen by heaven, but just happened to be entered by Taiyi's true spirit, so he has achieved what he has today. If Taiyi's true spirit was attached to someone else, it would definitely not be inferior to himself.

Li Wuxiang put the Shijie Collection back into his chest and abdomen, and was stunned for a while before asking Zhao Qi: "What does the Taiyi you saw just now look like?"

"I told you, it's the same as the statues we worship in the world! Haven't you seen it?"

Li Wuxiang thought for a while: "I saw a Taiyi statue become a spirit, and that thing would look like a Taiyi statue when it arrived at Lingshan?"

Zhao Qi sighed: "I really didn't teach you enough, it's a statue that became a spirit, right? Then wouldn't it be a statue when it arrived at Lingshan? A dog that became a spirit would be a dog when it arrived at Lingshan! What I saw was alive, a person! It's exactly the same as the statues and portraits! Haven't you noticed that all the statues and portraits in the world are the same? Because they are all based on the sculptures made by Taiyi before he became enlightened! The statues of Taiyi were not made casually! "

Li Wuxiang stared at him for a while: "Do you really think that the external evil in my body is Taiyi? How dare you talk to me like this?"

"Then...then it may not come to you in the end." Zhao Qi lowered his eyes and looked at Li Wuxiang. It seemed that because of his two words, he suddenly became more respectful. "It has to wait until the external evil enters the body...ah, Taiyi enters the body, at least it has to wait until the cultivator forms a pill. You can't say whether you can form a pill alive or not. It's not too late to be respectful to you at that time."

Li Wuxiang sighed and sat down cross-legged.

Zhao Qi seemed to be unaware of the Sword Sect's statement about Taiyi's true spirit.

Then his own matter is a bit troublesome now. If what Zhao Qi saw was really Taiyi, it means that either the Sword Sect's statement is true, Taiyi really separated a wisp of true spirit before being suppressed, and now it is here with him, and Jiang Jie's is fake.

But this external evil in my body... According to the world's solution, these true spirits should be without consciousness. Then this one of mine... At first, it only had emotions, and only now it made me talk to myself in my heart. Is it because it is nourished by things like essence, sacrifice, and Yuanshen, so it gradually has consciousness?

If so, isn't it the same as those real external evils? When I am in the process of forming a pill, this thing will enter my body, isn't it a possession of the body!

But if Jiang Jie's is real, then my one is fake? If it is fake, it does fit the description of the methods of external evil spirits in the world's solution... It has consciousness and can possess the body.

Zhao Qi said that what it looks like in Lingshan is what it is. But this guy didn't even figure out the secret of Ranshan. Could it be that he is also ignorant of this matter?

But there is another point that makes people very confused. If it is an ordinary external evil, the possession of the body is nothing more than to show his holiness and become a god in the world, making it easier for me to practice. But this one, at present, seems to be rushing to ask me to join the Sword Sect.

The leader of the Sword Sect claimed to have a true spirit in his body, and he himself also manifested as Taiyi... Did it want to call him the leader?

Li Wuxiang suddenly thought of a third possibility in his mind - Taiyi did split his true spirit, and it was this one. He really wanted to take on the body of a swordsman to save his original body. But a powerful external evil ruined its plan, and due to various complicated reasons, the real Taiyi true spirit could only lurk in secret, and then found his body through Zhao Kui's sacrifice, and then planned to set things right.

Therefore, it never really revealed its identity to him, which seemed reasonable.

But this means that the leader of the Sword Sect is actually an external evil spirit. However, Zeng Jianqiu said that there are three sword immortals in the Sword Sect, and the other two, and so many people, if they can't see it, it's really a bit ridiculous.

Or... do they actually know?

This idea made Li Wuxiang feel cold in his heart. The swordsmen seemed to be pretty good people. Although he didn't think that a sect composed of a group of pretty good people was ideal and beautiful, he still didn't want this idea to be true - then there would be no light in this world.

He sighed and asked Zhao Qi: "It's in Lingshan, right? Do you have a way to go and see it?"

Zhao Qi raised his finger and pointed upward: "Below this layer of blood mist is the blood sea. Above the blood mist is the upper heaven. In the upper heaven, there are also the heavens. It's not that there are no living people in Lingshan. Some natural treasures are only found here. Many sects will open the door to Lingshan to search for treasures, but they haven't seen the whole picture."

"Maybe some sects will mention similar things in their records of Lingshan, and know where similar things are, but there are none in Ranshan. Aren't you a swordsman? You can ask the Sword Sect."

It was not mentioned in the Shijie Collection, but it did say that some things used in the formation of Dan and Yang Shen need to be found in the blood sea of ​​Lingshan. The detailed records mentioned by Zhao Qi may be in "You Jiuyuan", which cannot be obtained at this time.

"Actually, there is one more thing." Zhao Qi looked at him and blinked his bloodshot eyes. "Zhao Kui told me this before, but I just thought you might not want to know, so I didn't tell you."

"What is it?"

"Think about it, you are a sect leader, and the sect often goes to Lingshan Mountain to search for treasures. Then, you may stay for a long time, and you must have a place to settle down. Don't think it is so easy for you to enter Lingshan Mountain, that's because you It’s not a human being. It’s almost as difficult for a living person to enter the Netherworld as it is to go to the Netherworld. After cultivating the Yangshen, the Yangshen can go.”

"But when you come to Lingshan, a living person comes in. You don't have any popularity, so it's okay. But when a real living person comes, isn't it just a big ball of energy and willpower? It's quite dangerous. So, you are The sect leader will definitely find a place in Lingshan. Ordinary sects have a presence in Lingshan, and we actually have one in Ranshan—"

He stopped here, as if he wanted to put it off.

Li Wuxiang nodded: "Ranshan Fantasy Land."

Zhao Qi was stunned: "Ah? Did Zhao Puppet tell you this too?"

"That's my guess. There is an independent world in the Xuanguang Mirror, and so is Ranshan's illusion. Since you said Ranshan also has it, I guess it couldn't have been created by Zhao Puppet himself."

"Okay, that's it anyway. What I mean is, in fact, I can help you find Taiyi, but with my current level of cultivation, if I leave this ancient cave, I might encounter some evil spirits, but it will be gone. . In the past, when Zhao Puppet was here, he still had some skills. Duan, I can still drive away those who are fighting for the ancient cave, otherwise I can escape with my life. Now, I am not much better than the resentful ghost. The only difference is that I only stayed for a short time and did not transform like them. It would be troublesome if we meet someone who comes to rob the ancient cave."

"So, you and I, regardless of our past grievances, can be considered a life-long friendship, right? After all, we are just master and apprentice. In this Lingshan, you have no one you can trust except me. If you can think of something, Now that the illusion is finished, I can stay here and not be afraid of outsiders coming to rob me. I will do as you say. Do some good deeds to repay the evil consequences of the past. When I have some Taoism, I can not only help our disciples in Ranshan find some supplies, but also find ways to help you find Taiyi in the upper heaven. When the time comes, I will just be a person. Just have an elder - our Ranshan should have an elder like other sects."

"Oh, by the way, wouldn't it be better if you died accidentally? You must not be willing to reincarnate in the netherworld, right? Then come here, you have a place to stay, don't we become master and apprentice again? !”

Li Wuxiang nodded: "It's hard for people to say no to your reason. So, if you unfold the illusion, you can come here?"

"Of course some means are needed, but I don't know. But since you have so many magical powers, it's not difficult to find out clearly. Those who can do the hard work."

Li Wuxiang sighed: "It's really tiring to be the leader of Ranshan Sect. Let's not talk about this anymore. I will be able to go to Tazi Town tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. That's where you will do your first ritual to pray to God, right? You have to think about it. What did you call yourself?"

Zhao Qi looked at himself: "Blood God."

"You don't sound like a good person, but okay, what can you do now?"

"If someone is so frightened that he loses his soul, I can bring it back. It's not difficult to make the person sleep poorly at night and have nightmares. If there are lonely ghosts in the world of ghosts, as long as they are not evil ghosts, they are just haunting people. I can also drive away those who want incense.”

Li Wuxiang poked his eyeballs: "Okay. I'm leaving."
