Chapter 832 Soul


    Mo Hua didn''t blink and said seriously.


    Yu Canghai nodded, "So that''s it..."


    When he thinks about problems, he only judges them with common sense. He never thought that the water ban box that was extremely precious, even he dared not even dream of was now in Mo Hua''s hands.


    He could not have imagined that the ink paintings in the middle stage of foundation building could "rob" the supreme inheritance of the Water Jail Sect from the hands of the deceitful and vicious Shui Yan Luo...


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


    "Does Water Yanluo know the pupil technique mean that although he does not know how to nourish the evil spirit, he has more or less known the method of visualizing the Jade Box Prison Picture?"


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


    He thought for a while and nodded, "It is very likely that since he can use the pupil technique, he has found some tricks."


    "When his pupil technique is perfect, wouldn''t it be very powerful?" Mo Hua said.


    "He can''t succeed." Yu Canghai shook his head.


    "Why?" The ink painting was puzzled.


    Yu Canghai looked solemn and sighed:


    "The pupil technique is not that simple. The inheritance of the pupil technique in the cultivation world is already very rare. Except for some pupil technique that must have a certain type of powerful bloodline to practice, other inherited pupil techniques, without exception, are all related to the soul."


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


    "Since it is related to the soul, it cannot be understood by looking at the pictures."


    "The power of the eye technique of Shui Yanluo may be quite good, but it only has its own form. In the final analysis, it is still a side sect, which is very different from the true eye technique inheritance of the Water Jail Sect."


    Mo Hua asked, "It has something to do with the soul, or is it to do with the consciousness?"


    “Soul.”


    “What’s the difference?”


    "This..." Elder Yu was stuck again, looking embarrassed, "My water sect''s Taoist priest has declined. I only know the difference between soul and consciousness, but I can''t explain it clearly..."


    Mo Hua stared at Elder Yu and found that his eyes were bitter and obviously he didn''t tell any lies, so he stopped exploring it.


    After considering the ink painting for a while, I asked another question:


    "There is a picture of Taoist prison on the water ban box, which contains the method of practice of forbidden art... What about inside the forbidden box?"


    "Since it is called the ''forbidden box'', it is a box, it should be able to be opened, right?"


    "What''s inside the box?"


    Yu Canghai still smiled bitterly, "The chief of the sect must be opened. I don''t know what is inside the sect, but I think it should be that only the head of the sect can learn some excellent inheritance of Taoism."


    "For example, what you mentioned about the water art?" Mo Hua said.


    "It''s possible." Yu Canghai nodded.


    "What else?" Mo Hua asked again.


    Yu Canghai shook his head, indicating that he was not clear.


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


    The whole box is like a whole piece of jade, without locks or keys, and there is no gap at all...


    This sentence just came to my mouth and was swallowed by Mo Hua again.


    The water ban box is not in his own hands. If he says this, it will probably arouse the elder''s suspicion.


    Yu Canghai pondered: "The conditions for opening the box are very harsh. You have to learn pupil skills and feed the essence and blood of the leader, but I, an elder, don''t know much about the specific methods."


    Mo Hua looked at Yu Canghai and sighed in her heart.


    Elder Yu, after all, never talks about the idea. He is all superficial and core issues, and he doesn''t know anything about it.


    If the Taoist priest sect is cut off, it will be really not unfair.


    I don’t know if he doesn’t know it or if he doesn’t know it.


    Mo Hua shook her head.


    After asking again, I couldn''t ask anything. Mo Hua got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he remembered something and asked Yu Canghai again:


    "By the way, what''s the name of the eye technique of the Water Jail Sect?"


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


    "Seven Soul Blood Prison Eyes?"


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


    “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 chase Shui Yanluo quickly. As long as he is arrested, he will be able to recover it."


    Yu Canghai felt a little comforted and bowed, "I''m sorry, little brother."


    Leaving Canghai, Mohua thought to herself:


    Would you like to return this forbidden box to Elder Yu?


    Since it is the supreme inheritance of the Water Jail Sect, it is naturally necessary to return the things to the original owner, and I feel embarrassed to secretly greedy.


    But don’t worry now, wait until you understand.


    Moreover, Elder Yu is now living under someone else''s roof and is in danger of being safe. Maybe he will suffer disaster.


    Wait until he is more stable, then give it to him secretly.


    This is also for his own good!


    Mo Hua made excuses for his little thoughts with confidence.


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


    Later, Mo Hua went to see Aunt Wan, had a meal, and returned to Taixu Sect, where he was in the middle of his disciples, and continued to study the prison box of the water.


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


    But now it cannot be opened, and even if it is opened, the ones inside must be all the best Taoism and cannot be learned by yourself.


    Even if you learn, you can''t use your spiritual power that is not as good as the top and the bottom.


    So, don’t rush to open the box, just learn the pupil technique.


    Mo Hua vaguely felt that this pupil technique might be more suitable for him than the precious and superior water-based Taoist techniques in the Water Jail Sect that were not passed down by the head.


    If you don’t use spiritual power, you can hide and cheat people.


    Moreover, generally speaking, with the strength of your spiritual sense, you should not be afraid of any backlash.


    But the problem is, how to learn?


    Mo Hua carefully pondered the conversation with Elder Yu for a while and roughly summarized a few points:


    The method of practicing pupil technique is hidden in the Taoist Prison Picture.


    When learning this pupil technique, you must cultivate the "right evil".


    The mystery of this eye technique is also related to the "soul".


    This pupil technique is called the Seven Soul Blood Prison Eye.


    Seven Souls…


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


    What does Qipo mean?


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


    Mo Hua sighed.


    “It’s a little troublesome…”


    Any word is a difficult point.


    These other ways of practicing Taoism are really difficult and obscure, and it is hard to understand.


    "According to Elder Yu, the pupil technique is related to the soul. The word "shen soul" may be the key to breaking through the "Seven Soul Blood Prison Picture" and is also the key to practicing the seven Soul Blood Prison Pupil..."


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


    A clever woman can’t cook without rice.


    There are too few clues, and I can’t guess the ink painting with just one name.


    Although he took the path of enlightenment by spiritual consciousness, after all, when he practiced at the beginning, his master would be gone, and he could only explore the path himself.


    “Soul…”


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


    First of all, Mr. Xun must know.


    But the old man seems to be worried about something recently, and he is 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 some knowledge.


    But it is a little far away.


    After thinking about it, Mo Hua decided to ask Elder Xun Zixian.


    Elder Xun Zixian is a third-grade formation master in the late stage of the Jindan stage. He has a deep attainment in formation and is also very interested in the way of spiritual consciousness.


    The most important thing is that I can talk to Elder Xun Zixian very well.


    Elder Xun Zixian is also very kind and has no airs. He will probably tell himself what he can say.


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


    This was the first time he came to the elder''s residence of Elder Xun Zixian. The formations were all arranged in the eyes, and jade slips and classics were arranged in a row. There was nothing else except that. You could tell that Elder Xun Zixian was knowledgeable at just a glance.


    After entering the door, a boy greeted him.


    These boys are also from big families. They are sent to elders in the clan at a young age to serve tea and water for the elders to enhance friendship.


    At the same time, living with elders with profound cultivation day and night, subtly receiving the influence of Taoism can also lay the foundation for future practice.


    Although it is just a boy, this place is something that many people have broken their heads and fought for.


    Those who can be boys have different origins.


    Mo Hua revealed his purpose, and the boy went to report back to Elder Zixian. Xun Zixian was painting the formation. When he heard that the ink painting was coming, he thought for a moment and stopped writing, asked the ink painting to come in, and ordered the boy to serve tea.


    The boy who served the tea respectfully said "Yes", but he was a little surprised.


    Uncle Zixian has a high attainment in formation and is highly valued by the sect. He is just a withdrawn person and has never been so polite to others.


    On weekdays, if someone disturbs him drawing the formation, he will be very angry. Why is his attitude so good today?


    The boy muttered in his heart, after serving the tea, he couldn''t help but secretly look at the ink painting.


    Mo Hua chatted with Elder Xun Zixian while drinking tea.


    "Soul?"


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


    Xun Zixian took a sip of tea and looked at the ink painting with a deep look, "Some things cannot be learned randomly."


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


    Xun Zixian said calmly: "Tell me the origin of cause and effect, and I will be sure whether to tell you."


    Ink painting sighed in his heart.


    Elder Xun Zixian is indeed knowledgeable and keen.


    He is worthy of being a master of formation like himself.


    But it is hard to say about the ban on the water jail.


    When Xun Zixian saw Mo Hua hesitating, he said, "You can just say it simply, don''t be too specific. I just have a clear idea of ??it, otherwise I will not be able to explain to my ancestors."


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


    He sorted out his words in his heart and said, "I''ll help Daotingsi to investigate a case. When he encounters a sinful cultivator, this sinful cultivator has a strange eye technique..."


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


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


    "I asked an elder who was informed and said that this kind of visualization was related to the soul, but he was not proficient in the way of spiritual consciousness, and he couldn''t explain the specific ways in it, so I came to ask you..."


    “Episodes, soul, visualization…”


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


    "That…"


    "I can tell you about the soul."


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


    "But, the words are said before," Xun Zixian said to Mo Hua, "The spiritual power and flesh are tangible, while the spiritual thoughts are invisible. Therefore, many of the ways of spiritual consciousness, including the knowledge of the soul, are inferred by monks based on experience, and may not be very accurate."


    "What I tell you is only the knowledge of practicing Taoism that I have heard, learned, or studied by myself for hundreds of years."


    "I feel that there is no big mistake in this knowledge, but it is not impossible if there is really a mistake. Therefore, when you listen, you should pay attention and you must not believe it, but you cannot believe it all. You can only grasp the degree of the matter yourself."


    Xun Zixian said it very rigorously.


    Mo Hua nodded seriously.


    Xun Zixian saw Mo Hua’s gaze solemnly, and knew that he understood what he meant, and nodded slightly, "First of all, there is a difference between spiritual soul and spiritual consciousness."


    "Low-end monks only know the spiritual consciousness and will hardly touch things at the level of the ''soul''. Even if they occasionally say things like souls, they are mostly confused."


    "In fact, it is not only low-end monks. Most monks may still know nothing about the way of the soul when they reach the golden elixir or even the feathers."


    "Because the existing practice system is only aimed at spiritual power and physical body, and spiritual consciousness has always been just an auxiliary. Except for a very small number of monks who are uncommon, almost no one majors in spiritual consciousness..."


    Xun Zixian looked at the ink painting meaningfully, then stretched out his slender fingers and pointed them on his forehead.


    "The sea of ??consciousness of a person is hosted by three souls and seven spirits."


    "The three souls are heavenly souls, earthly souls, and life souls."


    "The seven souls are corpse dogs, burying arrows, birds, swallowing thieves, non-toxic, eliminating filth, and smelling lungs."


    "Among the three souls, the heavenly soul and the earth soul are free from the body of the monks and live in the heaven and earth. They are unpredictable and difficult to describe. Only the soul of life, which is left in one''s own body, is related to life."


    "The soul of life is the foundation, and above the soul of life, the seven souls are parasitic. The soul is born without life, and the soul of life is not prosperous."


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


    "The soul is the foundation of the spiritual consciousness of a monk. The spiritual power derived from it is called ''spiritual consciousness''."


    “Only with souls can you have thoughts and knowledge.”


    Mo Hua''s eyes shook and she suddenly realized.


    Elder Xun''s words made him know more about the secrets of the spiritual path, but the more he knew, the more confusion he felt in his heart.


    "Is the spiritual consciousness not the foundation of the sea of ??consciousness, but just the derived mind power?"


    Xun Zixian nodded and explained:


    "You are a formation master, you should have a deep understanding..."


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


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


    "Because the divine consciousness is the derivation 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 trunk of a tree, and the consciousness is just the branches and leaves on the trunk. The branches are broken and the leaves fall, but as long as the root of the tree is still there, the branches and leaves can still grow again."


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


    Xun Zixian was silent for a moment.


    He thought the statement of ink painting was a bit strange, but when he thought about it carefully, it was quite appropriate.


    “That’s right…”


    "Then what does this soul have to do with the Pupil Technique? Do the Pupil Technique rely on the Pupil Technique to be displayed?" Mo Hua asked.


    Xun Zixian nodded and said, "No. You have to know one thing, the spiritual consciousness itself is passive and has no lethality."


    Ink painting was stunned.


    Elder Xun’s statement is a bit counterintuitive.


    Because in the sea of ??consciousness, he has always relied on his spiritual consciousness to kill all directions.


    But after thinking about it carefully, it seems to be correct.


    He killed all directions, relying on the incarnation of divine thoughts and the power of divine thoughts catalyzed by divine thoughts, rather than the divine consciousness itself.


    Simple spiritual consciousness is the pure mental power that the demons who have entered their sea of ??consciousness are salivating and want to swallow.


    When Xun Zixian saw that Mo Hua understood, he nodded slightly and continued:


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


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


    "Look, the essence is passive. The same is true for the release of spiritual consciousness, which is a passive sensing."


    "The spiritual consciousness is released and it is not powerful."


    "Whether the Qi Refining Realm, the Foundation Building Realm, or even the Golden Elixir Realm, the spiritual consciousness will also be released, but the spiritual consciousness will not hurt each other, at most it will sense each other - if you can sense it."


    "If you want to condense your spiritual consciousness and make your spiritual consciousness have the power of killing, bewitching, shocking, etc., then you must condense your spiritual soul into your spiritual consciousness."


    "Only with the soul, the spiritual consciousness can have the power to kill!"


    "Only the soul can kill..." Mo Hua looked stunned and muttered silently.


    He recalled all his experiences of confrontation of divine thoughts, thought carefully, and then gradually gained some understanding.


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


    Soul and thoughts.


    Ghosts have ghosts, corpses have souls, and demons have souls.


    This "soul" may be complicated, but to simply understand it, it is equivalent to the evil spirit''s "self-will".


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


    Once erased, the evil spirits will only have simple mind power.


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


    Once this soul is erased, the evil spirit will no longer exist, and what remains is only a simple "mind power".


    This mental power, without lethality, can be "eated" by oneself.


    The idea of ??ink painting is gradually unobstructed, and he slowly said:


    "The reason why the spiritual consciousness released by a monk has no lethality is that... the spiritual consciousness released is just a simple ''mind power'', which does not contain the soul, that is, it does not contain a certain type of special ''will'', so it cannot hurt people."


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


    "Not bad." Xun Zixian said with relief.


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


    Xun Zixian shook his head, "It''s not called being released from the outside. There is a special saying in the way of spiritual consciousness, called..."


    Xun Zixian''s eyes were slightly solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The soul is out of his body!"


    The soul is out of body? !


    Mo Hua''s heart suddenly jumped.


    Then, the Taoist priest picture on the water **** box is essentially a method of practicing the "soul out of body"?


    The soul is out of body…


    In Mo Hua''s mind, all kinds of thoughts were floating and ups and downs, and it was a little confused for a moment, but he vaguely felt that a powerful door to Shinto was gradually opening to him.


    The sword transformed by his divine thoughts seems to be about to be "unsheathed"...
