Asking About Longevity Chapter 832

Chapter 832 Soul

Mo Hua didn't blink and spoke seriously.

Yu Canghai nodded, "I see..."

When he thinks about problems, he only uses common sense to deal with them. He never imagined that the water prison box, which was so precious that he didn't even dare to dream about it, was now in Mo Hua's hands.

He never imagined that the ink paintings in the middle stage of foundation building could be "robbed" of the supreme inheritance of the Water Prison Sect from the cunning and vicious Shui Yanluo...

Mo Hua was afraid that Elder Yu would think too much, so he quickly asked him another question:

"Does the Shuiyan Luohui Eye Technique mean that although he doesn't know how to cultivate Zhengsha, he more or less knows the method of visualizing the Jade Box Dao Prison Map?"

Yu Canghai's expression condensed, and his attention was indeed attracted by this question.

He pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's very possible that since he can use the pupil technique, it means that he has more or less found a certain way."

"Then once he masters his eye skills, wouldn't he be very powerful?" Mo Hua said.

"He can't achieve greatness." Yu Canghai shook his head.

"Why?" Mo Hua was puzzled.

Yu Canghai looked solemn and sighed:

"The Eye Technique is not that simple. The inheritance of Eye Techniques in the cultivation world is very rare. Except for some Eye Techniques that require a certain type of powerful bloodline to be practiced, other Eye Techniques that can be passed down are, without exception, related to the soul. "

"The way of the soul is strange, unpredictable and elusive."

"Since it has something to do with the soul, it can't be understood by just looking at the pictures."

"Shuiyan Luo's pupil technique may be powerful, but it is just a formality. In the final analysis, it is still a heretic, which is very different from the real pupil technique inheritance of Shuiyan Sect."

Mo Hua asked: "Is it related to the soul or to the consciousness?"

"Soul."

"What's the difference?"

"This..." Elder Yu was stuck again, with a puzzled look on his face, "The orthodoxy of my Water Prison Sect has declined. I only know that there is a difference between the soul and the consciousness, but I can't explain it clearly..."

Mo Hua stared at Elder Yu and found that his eyes were bitter. It was obvious that he was not telling lies, so he stopped going into details.

After Mo Hua considered it for a moment, he asked another question:

"On the Water Prison Forbidden Box, there is a picture of Dao Prison. The picture contains the practice methods of forbidden arts... What about the inside of the forbidden box?"

"Since it's called a 'forbidden box', it's a box, so it should be openable, right?"

"What's inside the box?"

Yu Canghai still smiled bitterly, "The leader's forbidden box cannot be opened except by the leader. I don't know what is in the forbidden box, but I guess it should be some excellent Taoist inheritance that only the leader of the Water Prison Sect can learn."

"For example, the water prison technique you mentioned?" Mo Hua said.

"It's possible." Yu Canghai nodded.

"What about other than that?" Mo Hua asked again.

Yu Canghai shook his head and expressed that he was unclear.

Mo Hua added: "Then how do you open this box..."

The entire box is like a piece of jade, with no lock or key, and no gaps at all...

As soon as the words came to his lips, Mo Hua swallowed them back.

It is obvious that the Water Prison Box is not in his hands. If he said so, it would probably arouse the suspicion of the elder.

Yu Canghai thought deeply: "The conditions for opening the box are very demanding. You need to learn the Eye Technique and feed it with the master's essence and blood, but as an elder, I don't know the specific method."

Mo Hua glanced at Yu Canghai and sighed in his heart.

Elder Yu, after talking about it, always fails to get to the point. He only talks about it superficially and has no idea of the core issue.

If the water prison gate's orthodoxy is cut off, then it is really not unfair at all.

I don't know if he really doesn't know or if he pretends not to know.

Mo Hua shook his head.

If he continued to ask, he couldn't find anything else, so Mo Hua stood up and left. Before leaving, he remembered something and asked Yu Canghai again:

"By the way, what's the name of Water Prison Sect's pupil technique?"

Yu Canghai hesitated for a while before speaking slowly: "According to the records of the clan, this pupil technique is called...Seven Soul Blood Prison Pupils."

"Seven Soul Blood Prison Eyes?"

Mo Hua nodded, wrote down the name, and turned to leave, but was stopped by Yu Canghai again.

"Little brother..."

Yu Canghai looked worried and asked with a hint of hope: "Can this forbidden box be recovered?"

"Don't worry," Mo Hua comforted him, "I will ask Uncle Gu to hunt down Shui Yanluo. As long as he is caught, we can bring him back."

Yu Canghai felt a little relieved, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, little brother."

After leaving Yu Canghai, Mo Hua thought in his mind:

Do you want to return this forbidden box to Elder Yu?

Since it is the supreme inheritance of Water Prison Sect, it is natural that the property must be returned to its original owner, and I am too embarrassed to be greedy secretly.

But don't rush now, wait until you play and understand first.

Moreover, Elder Yu was in such a state that he was living under someone else's roof, and returning it to him might bring disaster to him.

Wait until he feels more comfortable and then give it to him secretly.

This is also for his own good!

Mo Hua confidently made excuses for his petty thoughts.

At present, this forbidden box is the safest in your own hands!

After that, Mo Hua went to see Aunt Wan, had a meal, and then returned to Taixu Sect. Among the disciples, he continued to study the Water Prison Forbidden Box.

"There must be something inside the box..." Mo Hua thought.

But it can't be opened now, and even if it is opened, the contents inside must be superior Taoist teachings, which I cannot learn by myself.

Even if he learned it, he wouldn't be able to use it at all given his spiritual power.

Therefore, don't be in a hurry to open the box, as long as you can learn the pupil technique.

Mo Hua vaguely felt that this pupil technique might be more suitable for him than those precious and superior water-type Taoist techniques in the Water Prison Sect that were not passed on except by the master.

It doesn't use spiritual power, is hidden, and can deceive people.

Moreover, generally speaking, with the strength of his spiritual consciousness, he should not be afraid of any backlash.

But the question is, how to learn?

Mo Hua thought about the conversation with Elder Yu carefully for a moment and roughly summarized a few points:

The method of practicing eye skills is hidden in the Dao Prison Diagram.

To learn this pupil technique, you must cultivate "righteous evil".

The mystery of this pupil technique is also related to the "spirit".

This pupil technique is called the Seven Souls Blood Prison Pupil.

Seven Souls…

Mo Hua looked at the jade box in his hand again, "But the prisons, criminals, and punishments in the picture are all eight?"

What does Qi Po mean?

Furthermore, the seven souls may be related to the divine soul, but what is the connection between the divine soul and the divine consciousness?

Mo Hua sighed.

"It's a bit troublesome..."

Any word is a difficulty.

These alternative methods of cultivating Taoism are really difficult and obscure, making it difficult for people to figure them out.

"According to Elder Yu, eye skills are related to the divine soul. The word 'spirit' may be the key to breaking through the 'Seven Souls Blood Hell Diagram', and it is also the key to practicing the Seven Souls Blood Hell Eyes..."

"How to understand the soul? What kind of knowledge does it contain?"

A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

There were so few clues that Mo Hua couldn't guess it just by looking at his name.

Although he is taking the path of divine consciousness and enlightenment, after all, the master is gone after the beginning of cultivation, and he can only explore the rest of the way on his own.

"Soul..."

Mo Hua began to count the heads in his mind, counting all the people he knew to see who would be better to ask.

First of all, Mr. Xun must know.

But the old gentleman seems to be worried about something recently. He is very busy and it is not convenient to disturb him.

Huangshan Jun should also know that it is a mountain **** after all. Although it is no longer the same as before, it still has knowledge.

But it's a little far away.

After much thought, Mo Hua decided to ask Elder Xun Zixian.

Elder Xun Zixian is a third-level formation master in the late Jindan stage. He has profound knowledge of formations and is also very interested in the way of divine consciousness.

The most important thing is that I have a good rapport with Elder Xun Zixian.

Elder Xun Zixian is also very kind and has no airs. As long as he can tell, he will tell him.

Mo Hua took the time to go to the elder's residence and visit Elder Xun Zixian.

This was the first time he came to Elder Xun Zixian's residence. All he could see were formations, rows of jade slips and classics. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Just one look showed that Elder Xun Zixian was very knowledgeable.

After entering the door, he was greeted by a boy.

These boys are also from big families. At a young age, they are sent to the elders of the clan to serve them tea and water to enhance friendship.

At the same time, spending time with elders who have advanced cultivation skills day and night, and subtly receiving the influence of Taoism, can also lay the foundation for future practice.

Even though he is just a boy, many people fought for this spot.

Those who can be children have unusual origins.

After Mo Hua reported his intention, the boy went back to report to Elder Zixian. Xun Zixian was drawing a formation, and when he heard that Mo Hua was coming, he thought for a moment, then stopped writing, invited Mo Hua to come in, and ordered the boy to serve him tea.

The boy serving the tea said "yes" respectfully, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

Uncle Zixian was very accomplished in formations and was highly regarded by the sect, but he was withdrawn and had never been so polite to others.

Normally, he would be very angry if someone disturbed him when he was drawing formations. Why was his attitude so good today?

The boy murmured in his heart. After serving tea, he couldn't help but secretly look at the ink paintings.

Mo Hua drank tea and chatted with Elder Xun Zixian.

"Soul?"

"Yes," Mo Hua said, "I recently met an elder from another sect and heard him mention the matter of the 'spirit'. I was a little confused for a moment and couldn't figure it out myself, so I came to ask the elder for advice. …”

Xun Zixian took a sip of tea and looked at the ink painting deeply, "There are some things that cannot be learned indiscriminately."

Mo Hua smiled coquettishly, "I'm just curious."

Xun Zixian said calmly: "Tell me the origin of cause and effect, and I will decide whether to tell you or not."

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

Elder Xun Zixian is indeed knowledgeable and sharp-minded.

He is worthy of being a formation master like himself.

But it's hard to say about the water prison box.

Seeing Mo Hua's hesitation, Xun Zixian said, "Please tell me briefly. You don't have to be too specific. I just have an idea. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to my ancestor."

Mo Hua thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay!"

He sorted out his words in his mind, and then said: "I was doing a little favor for Daotingsi. I went to investigate a case and met a sin cultivator who knew a weird pupil technique..."

Xun Zixian raised his eyebrows and said, "Pupillary technique?"

"Yes," Mo Hua said, "This kind of pupil technique can capture people's minds and is very tricky. It is said that it can only be practiced by visualizing a picture."

"I asked an elder who knew about it, and he said that this method of contemplation is related to the soul, but he is not proficient in the way of spiritual consciousness, and he can't explain the specific doorway in it, so I am here to ask you... "

"Eye skills, soul, visualization..."

Xun Zixian thought about it silently in his heart for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand."

"That…"

"I can tell you about the soul."

Mo Hua was overjoyed, "Thank you, Elder Xun!"

"But, talking about it earlier," Xun Zixian said to Mo Hua with a slightly solemn expression, "Spiritual power is tangible in flesh and blood, but spiritual thoughts are intangible. Therefore, many of the ways of spiritual consciousness, including the knowledge of spiritual souls, are inferred by monks based on experience. Not necessarily very accurate.”

"What I tell you is only what I have heard, learned, or learned from my own research over hundreds of years."

"I feel that there is not much fallacy in this knowledge, but if it is really wrong, it is not impossible. Therefore, when you listen, pay attention to yourself. You must not believe it, but you cannot believe it completely. You can only decide the appropriateness in it. grasp."

Xun Zixian said it very rigorously.

Mo Hua nodded seriously.

Seeing Mo Hua's serious gaze, Xun Zixian knew that he understood what he meant, and nodded slightly, "First of all, there is a difference between the soul and the consciousness."

"Low-end monks only know about spiritual consciousness and have almost no contact with things at the level of 'spiritual soul'. Even if they occasionally talk about souls and the like, most of them don't understand it."

"Actually, it's not just the low-end monks. Most of the monks, after reaching the golden elixir or even becoming immortals, may still know nothing about the way of the soul."

"Because the existing practice system only targets spiritual power and the physical body, and spiritual consciousness has always been an auxiliary. Except for a very small number of monks who don't follow the ordinary path, almost no one majors in spiritual consciousness..."

Xun Zixian glanced at the ink painting meaningfully, then stretched out his slender fingers and touched his forehead.

"The sea of human consciousness houses three souls and seven souls."

"The three souls are the soul of heaven, the soul of earth, and the soul of life."

"The seven souls are: corpse dog, lying on arrows, sparrow yin, swallowing thieves, non-poison, removing filth, and smelly lungs."

"Among the three souls, the heaven soul and the earth soul are free from the monk's body and reside in the heaven and earth. They are elusive and indescribable. Only the life soul remains in the body and is closely related to life."

"The soul of life is the foundation, and above the soul of life, there are seven parasitic souls. If there is no soul, there will be no life, and if there is no soul, there will be no prosperity."

"These three souls and seven souls are collectively called divine souls."

"The soul is the foundation of the monk's spiritual thoughts, and the thought power derived from it is called 'spiritual consciousness'."

"Only when there is a soul can there be thoughts and consciousness."

Mo Hua's eyes were shocked and he suddenly realized.

Elder Xun's words made him know more secrets of the way of divine consciousness, but the more he knew, the more confusion he felt in his heart.

"Spiritual consciousness is not the root of the sea of consciousness, but only the derived power of thought?"

Xun Zixian nodded and explained:

"You are a formation master, you should have a profound experience..."

"Every time the spiritual consciousness is consumed, it will be restored."

"If the spiritual consciousness itself is the foundation, once it is used up, the spiritual consciousness will be broken. How can it be restored?"

"Because divine consciousness is a derivative of the divine soul, as long as the divine soul is still there, after the divine consciousness is consumed, it will naturally be derived from the divine soul again."

Xun Zixian gave an example: "The soul is like a tree trunk, and spiritual consciousness is just the branches and leaves on the trunk. The branches are broken and the leaves fall, but as long as the foundation of the tree remains, the branches and leaves can still grow back."

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, "I understand, it's like a leek. As long as the roots are still there, if you cut one crop, there will be another!"

Xun Zixian was silent for a moment.

He felt that the term ink painting was a bit strange, but when he thought about it carefully, it was still quite appropriate.

"That's right..."

"Then what does this divine soul have to do with the pupil technique? Does the pupil technique have to rely on the divine soul?" Mo Hua asked.

Xun Zixian nodded and said: "Yes. You have to know that spiritual consciousness itself is passive and has no lethality."

Mo Hua was stunned.

Elder Xun's statement is a bit counter-intuitive.

Because in the sea of consciousness, he has always relied on his divine consciousness to kill everyone.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems right.

His killing spree relied on the incarnation of divine thoughts and the power of divine thoughts catalyzed by the incarnation of divine thoughts, rather than the divine consciousness itself.

Pure spiritual consciousness is the pure thought power that those demons who have penetrated into their own sea of consciousness covet and want to swallow.

Seeing that Mo Hua had understood, Xun Zixian nodded slightly and continued:

"You should be familiar with the outward release of spiritual consciousness. But the outward release of spiritual consciousness is not essentially an outward release, but a kind of 'induction'."

"Just like when you see something, it's not you who are 'seeing', but all the lights and shadows in the world that come into your eyes, giving you a feeling of 'seeing'."

"Look, the essence is passive. The same is true for the outward release of spiritual consciousness. It is a passive induction."

"Spiritual consciousness is released to the outside and has no power."

"Whether it is the Qi Refining Realm, the Foundation Building Realm, or even the Golden Core Realm, they also release their spiritual consciousness, but their spiritual consciousness will not harm each other. At most, they can sense each other - if you can sense it."

"And if you want to condense your spiritual consciousness so that it has the power to kill, bewitch, frighten, etc., then you must condense the divine soul into your spiritual consciousness."

"With the divine soul, only the divine consciousness has the power to kill!"

"Only the soul has the power to kill..." Mo Hua muttered silently with a startled expression.

He recalled all his experiences of spiritual confrontation, thought about it carefully, and then gradually gained some understanding.

According to Elder Xun Zixian, all the thoughts he has seen so far do contain two levels:

Soul and mind.

Ghosts have ghosts, corpses have corpse souls, and monsters have demon souls.

This "soul" sounds complicated to say, but to understand it simply, it is equivalent to the evil "self-will".

With this kind of self-will, evil spirits can kill and eat people.

Once it is wiped out, evil spirits are left with only pure thoughts.

In other words, evil spirits can hurt people because they themselves have greedy and evil "evil souls".

Once this soul is wiped out, the evil spirits will no longer exist, and what remains is pure "thought power".

This mental power has no lethality and can be "eaten" by oneself.

Mo Hua's thoughts gradually became smoother and he slowly said:

"The reason why the monks' external spiritual consciousness has no lethality is because...the external spiritual consciousness is just pure 'thought power', which does not contain the soul, that is to say, it does not contain any special kind of 'will' , so you can't hurt anyone.”

"Then on the other hand, if you want to use your spiritual consciousness to kill, you must condense part of the 'spiritual soul' and inject some kind of 'will' into the external spiritual consciousness?"

"Not bad." Xun Zixian said happily.

"But can the soul be released?" Mo Hua asked again.

Xun Zixian shook his head, "It's not called letting out. In the way of spiritual consciousness, there is a special saying called..."

Xun Zixian's eyes were slightly solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The soul has left the body!"

Out of body? !

Mo Hua's heart suddenly jumped.

In that case, the Dao Prison Picture on the Water Prison Forbidden Box is essentially a method of cultivating "soul leaving the body"?

Out of body...

All kinds of thoughts were floating in Mo Hua's mind, and he was still a little confused for a while, but he vaguely felt that a powerful Shinto door was gradually opening to him.

The sword transformed by his spiritual thoughts seems to be ready to be "unsheathed"...
