Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 45 Three souls and seven souls, the joy of harvest!
Xu Yan spoke.

The Heart Peeping Ghost didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately stripped his soul from his soul and put it under Xu Yan's control.

This also means that from then on, the life and death of the mind-peeping ghost are all in the hands of Xu Yan. Unless he wants to die, he will not dare to betray easily.

"Jia Laosan holds your deposit?"

Xu Yan looked at the ghosts in his hands and became very interested in the souls of living things.

According to the world.

The human spirit, or soul, is composed of three souls and seven souls.

The soul is Yin, and the soul is Yang.

The soul is unique to the human body, and they are: corpse dog, volt arrow, sparrow yin, swallow thief, non-poison, decontamination, and stinky lung.

The main seven emotions are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, and desire.

Corresponding to the seven organs of the human body, the heart, liver, stomach, gallbladder, kidney, intestine, and lung.

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

Among them, the heavenly soul governs thoughts and belongs to Yin; the earth soul governs spirit and belongs to Yang;

The soul of life exists when the fertilized egg is formed, but at this time there is only the soul, not the soul.

After the fertilized egg is fully formed and has a human form, the earth soul will appear, and the fetus will give birth to spiritual power and gain life.

When the baby is born and takes the first breath of air, the heavenly soul will enter the body along with the air, and the baby can have thoughts and wisdom.

After a person dies, the soul of life will be divided into two parts, yin and yang, which belong to the soul of heaven and the soul of earth respectively.

If a person dies, the seven souls dissipate, but the life soul is not divided into two parts, but is completely attached to the sky soul, and the earth soul dissipates, it will become an invisible but thinking ghost, a lonely soul.

The lonely soul cannot be seen by people in the mortal world, and has no ability to influence people in the mortal world, it is completely harmless.

If all the souls of life are attached to the soul of the earth and the soul of the sky dissipates, there will be yang things with strong spiritual power. Their spiritual power can make their images in life appear, and they will be earth-bound spirits.

The earth-bound spirit has no thoughts and consciousness of its own, but mechanically repeats certain scenes from its lifetime, which can affect people in the mortal world, and is generally fixed in one place, unable to move.

However, if the soul of life is too strong and binds the soul of the sky and the soul of the earth, it will form a soul without a soul, a spiritual body with form and thought, which is what people often call ghosts.

Ghosts have their own thoughts and powerful spiritual powers that can affect the living beings in the mortal world. They can also continuously strengthen themselves through practice, devouring the yang energy of living people, devouring other ghosts, lonely souls, and earth-bound spirits, so as to embark on the road of ghost cultivation .

However, whether it is a lonely soul, a ground-bound spirit, or a ghost, a living being, etc., all need the life soul to maintain it. Once the life soul is lost, it will be scattered.

Later, after a monk discovered this situation, he developed a method of stripping and controlling life and soul, so as to manipulate and control ghosts and even living creatures.

This is the origin of techniques such as the technique of controlling ghosts, the technique of puppetry, and the method of controlling beasts.

Xu Yan didn't know the art of controlling ghosts, but he couldn't resist the ghost who stripped off his soul and handed it over to him.

Even after Xu Yan watched this process, he learned the method of life-soul stripping and low-level ghost-controlling skills without a teacher, and had the means to control ghosts.

This is not to say how strong Xu Yan's wisdom is, but with his soul strength comparable to that of the real Yinshen. The method of controlling ghosts really shouldn't be too simple.

Hearing Xu Yan's question, the Ghost Peeping Heart didn't dare to hide anything, and replied directly: "Responding to the master's words, this subordinate used to be a lonely ghost with no belongings, and Jia Laosan was too stingy, so he was reluctant to buy a ghost bag." , so the subordinates were all in Jia Laosan's body before."

Xu Yan: "..."

Ok.

Unexpectedly, Jia Laosan is still a master who wants money but not life.

In order to save money, I directly use my own body to raise ghosts, and I am not afraid of losing my life and being eroded by ghost energy.

However, considering that in the ghost market, most of the monks follow the route of ghost cultivation, Jia Laosan's behavior is not something incomprehensible.

It could be said that the other party just wanted to turn into a ghost in advance, and use the power of the peeping ghost to embark on the road of ghost cultivation.

It's just that Xu Yan definitely can't let the mind-peeping ghost live in his body.

Not to mention that he has too many secrets, which cannot be known to others.

Just talking about his body's energy and blood strength comparable to that of a Martial Saint, if a peeping ghost dared to get on his body, he could directly burn him to death.

"Is it possible that you want to release the first ghost you tamed?"

"Or just kill it after using it?"

Xu Yan frowned, for a moment he didn't know how to deal with the voyeur.

It seemed that he had sensed what Xu Yan was thinking.

The Heart Peeping Ghost hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, although Jia Laosan doesn't have a ghost bag, the money he has accumulated is more than enough to buy a high-grade ghost bag."

"In addition, that old devil Lin is an expert in raising ghosts. He usually does the work of catching and refining special ghosts for the nobles in the ghost market. , can guard against all ghosts."

"As long as the master is willing, the subordinates can use the name of Jia Laosan to trick the old devil Lin to come. I believe that with the master's strength, he can be suppressed with a backhand and get the ghost raising bag and soul banner."

Old Demon Lin was the first black-robed resident who greeted Jia Laosan while carrying a ghost-raising bag on his back.

When Xu Yan heard the word "Old Devil Lin", he couldn't help but think of the cold and beautiful ghost in wedding dress that he saw earlier.

Combined with the words of the peeping ghost.

He guessed that the female ghost in the red wedding dress trapped in the animal skin ghost bag was the special ghost in the mouth of the ghost.

Xu Yan nodded, very satisfied with the suggestion of the mind-peeping ghost, and praised him very much: "Very well, I like a gentleman who understands current affairs, you are a good ghost, you can hang out with me from now on."

"Besides, since you already have an idea, then do as you want. As long as you can attract Old Demon Lin, I will definitely reward you greatly."

It is indeed a ghost that can spy on people's hearts, it is clever, and it is not 01:30 better than those ghosts whose heads are smashed by resentment and only know killing and revenge.

In the future, after a good training, it might not be possible to be a ghost on your own.

The Mind Peeping Ghost's abilities were good, and his ability to execute was also good. After a while, he led a man covered in black robes into Jia Laosan's room.

then.

Then he died.

A burst of energy shot out from Xu Yan's fingertips and fell into Old Demon Lin's body. Like a single spark, it burned the ghost under the black robe in an instant, leaving only a damaged skin on the ground.

The so-called Old Demon Lin is, to put it bluntly, a ghost in human skin.

It's just that the human skin on his body is a pretty good magic weapon, which conceals the ghostly aura on his body, so the other monks in the house didn't notice it.

It's a pity that although the human skin magic weapon is good, it can't hide Xu Yan's golden pupil of luck.

When Xu Yan saw Lao Mo Lin for the first time, he already knew that he was not human.

Moreover, Old Devil Lin is not the same as a peeking ghost, the karma on his body is like substance, he has killed countless creatures, Xu Yan naturally has no plan to keep him.

Kill people, kill ghosts!

All that's left is to clean up the battlefield and take stock of the loot.

The first is Jia Laosan here.

Without Xu Yan opening his mouth or using his hands, the Heart Peeping Ghost swiftly searched out all the money and treasures hidden by Jia Laosan.

There are 360 ​​taels of gold bills, [-] taels of silver bills, gold, silver and copper coins, etc., worth about [-] taels of silver.

There are also [-] catties and [-] taels of hundred-refined ghost iron, six catties and eight taels of ghost copper essence, three bottles of yellow spring water, one black ghost stone, three liang of spirit crystals, and nine catties of original crystals...

According to the estimate of the ghost, if all these things are sold through the channel of the ghost market, plus the previous gold and silver tickets, cash and silver, etc.

From Jia Laosan alone, he earned almost 1 taels of silver, which was roughly equal to the ten-year salary of Xu Yan, the captain of the imperial department.

It can only be said that once a monk gives up his bottom line, it is really easy to make money.

Of course, the premise is that you don't get caught by the imperial court's Zhenmagic Division, otherwise you will definitely be able to teach you how to be a human being, maybe even your soul will be drawn out for you, and thrown into the Zhenmo Prison to feed demons and ghosts.

For example, Jia Laosan had to hide in the Jiuyuan Ghost City because he was wanted by the Zhenmagic Division and to avoid being arrested by the Dagan court. For fear of being watched.

"well done!"

Xu Yan was extremely satisfied with the performance of Mind Peeping Ghost.

He did what he said, and directly squeezed Jia Laosan's soul into a ball, and threw it to the soul-peeping ghost as a reward.

As for the question of whether the voyeur swallowed Jia Laosan's soul for his cultivation, or he secretly released Jia Laosan's soul in nostalgia.

Xu Yan didn't care at all.

Do it all.

Xu Yan grandly carried two packages, one large and one small, and walked out of Jia Laosan's room with a peeping ghost. Ignoring the shocked and unbelievable eyes of everyone in the house, he walked straight to Lin Laomo's residence.

The moment of harvest is always so exciting and joyful.
