Pawn Crossing the River

After class, Qi Xuansu wanted to talk to Yao Pei about the bottom of Xingye Lake. After all, the two of them had experience in cooperation.

But the door to Yao Pei's residence was closed, obviously she was not here. The Shang Palace may not be big, but it is not small at all. There are ninety-nine libraries and a Tianshui Yixin Tower in just one Gen Garden. It is not an easy task to find Yao Pei among them.

However, Qi Xuansu found a piece of paper stuck in the crack of the door, which said: "If something happens, I will see you in my dream when I am young. I will not wait until it is too late."

Qi Xuansu immediately thought of the dream meeting of the Qingping Society, and was startled. He secretly wondered if Yao Pei was also a member of the Qingping Society. However, he quickly realized that what Yao Pei was talking about was not the dream meeting, but the alchemist's entrance. Dreams are magical.

For alchemists, the Yin Shen leaving the body is a very important miracle. It is temporarily freed from the shackles of the body and is no longer controlled by Qi and blood pressure. It will be easier to cast spells. The spirituality of the soul can also get rid of various influences, making divination more convenient. Accurate, so there has always been a way to predict the future in dreams.

As a banished immortal, Yao Pei can also dream.

To be honest, Qi Xuansu has never used the alchemist's dream magic, and this thing is different from the martial artist's "flesh-derived" magic, which requires certain skills. Although "Xuanyu" brings various supernatural powers, it is like a Buddhist initiation. The person being completed learns it directly, as if by instinct, but the skill still requires practice.

For example, running and jumping are instincts that humans are born with, but how to run faster and jump higher requires skills and requires practice.

According to the Taoist theory, the true self-examination refers to the "Yang Shen", which is the last state of the alchemist before becoming an immortal. It is equivalent to the state of killing three corpses of the banished immortal and the state of military relief of the Sanren.

The so-called Yang Shen can break away from the body of flesh and blood and become another self-life existence with a tangible form. In other words, you can completely abandon your own body and exist independently in the world, without fear of any wind or thunder. It is born for the yin and yang, and the extreme fakeness turns into reality. Or you can not abandon your own body and form an existence with a body outside the body. Everything you say and do can be as free as it is now.

From this point of view, the Yang God is very different from the Three Corpse Gods. The Three Corpse Gods are me but not me, while the Yang God only has "is me" and has no "not me".

If only you can feel the form of another life, either tangible or invisible, and can go in and out of the physical body, but cannot be seen by others, and cannot exist without the body for a long time, it is called a "Yin Shen". The Yin spirit is like the dream body, but it is clearer and clearer than the dream body.

The most straightforward difference between the Yang God and the Yin God is that the Yin God cannot seize the body, but the Yang God can.

It is true that many alchemists have acted and had the ability to seize bodies before arriving at the Yangshen Realm, but they all come with a huge price.

One is to directly seize other people's bodies, which is very risky. If you are not careful, you can easily be killed by others. Even if it succeeds, there will still be the problem that the body and soul cannot perfectly match each other, which will not only lead to a regression in cultivation, but also many hidden dangers, and it is very likely that the cultivation will not improve from now on.

The other is to seize the body of an unborn fetus, which is equivalent to reincarnation. The risk is very small, but there is a mystery in the fetus. That is, after the ghosts and immortals seize the body of the fetus, it is easy to lose themselves in the fetus, forget all the past, and never forget the past. When you grow up from a baby state, you have to start from scratch.

These hidden dangers are all the consequences of the Yin God's being unable to seize the body and forcibly seizing the body. If it were replaced by the Yang God, there would be no such hidden dangers. Changing the body is really like changing clothes. This is the most intuitive way that the Yang God can exist independently without the constraints of the body. The effect is the perfect interpretation of the existence of another self's life.

Under normal circumstances, Yin gods can only possess people. Just like the ghosts in the folk, they can temporarily control other people's bodies, confuse other people's minds, or use others as hosts. There is no obvious hidden danger in this, so the alchemists Before reaching the Yang Shen realm, the best way to deal with the destruction of the body is not to forcibly seize the body, but to temporarily attach to something, find a host, and lodge in the host's body in the state of Yin God.

However, the host's cultivation level cannot be too strong. If the realm's cultivation level is similar to one's own, then the possessed person will immediately throw out the possessed Yin God if he reacts and struggles intentionally, and the Yin God will be severely damaged.

Qi Xuansu has experienced out-of-body experiences. For example, when he was dealing with Yue Liuli, he had an out-of-body experience. Compared with the alchemists who enter the dream state, the alchemists in the thunder realm have already emerged from the virtual world and entered the real world. Not only can they travel during the day, And it can turn the Yin God into a physical entity in a short period of time.

At that time, Qi Xuansu grabbed Yue Liuli's wrist, leaving a dark handprint, just like the "ghost handprint" in the people's mouth. This was a short-term solidification and extremely consumed mana.

Under normal circumstances, Yin gods are tangible and insubstantial and cannot touch any real objects. They exist between reality and reality. This is the basis for dreaming.

The founder of the method of entering dreams is Nanhua Da Zhenren of Taoism, also known as Nanhua Daojun, which is the "Zhuang" in "Lao Zhuang". Since ancient times, there are only two people in Taoism who can be as famous as Taishang Taozu, and one is " "Huang Lao", the other "Lao Zhuang", the former is the emperor of heaven, the ancestor of mankind, and the latter's status in the Taoist sect is roughly equivalent to the status of Ya Sheng in the Confucian sect.

Nanhua Daojun said: "In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, and they were lifelike butterflies. He described himself as suitable for his will, but he didn't know Zhou. Suddenly he realized that he was like a Zhou. If he didn't know Zhou, his dreams were butterflies, and the butterflies' dreams were Zhou Yu. Zhou and Hu Die must be different. This is called materialization."

The fundamental is that after falling into a dream and then waking up as a Yin Shen, the main body is still sleeping soundly. This is originally a difficulty, but Sun Hewu mentioned this when he taught Qi Xuansu how to control the madness of the "Devil Sword", and Qi Xuansu did have some experience. Then the dream is used as a media bridge to connect the two dreams, and go from one's own dream to the dream of others. The advantage is that it is more hidden. Except for the owner of the dream, it is almost difficult to be discovered by a third person. The limitation is that others must also Just dream. In this regard, warriors are almost dreamless, and Qi practitioners even enter trance instead of falling asleep, which is not of great practical significance. ..

If Qi Xuansu's previous Yin Shen left the body and fought with people, it was for the sake of truth, and it could even temporarily condense the entity to hurt people. So when the Yin God travels in a dream, it is seeking emptiness, so imaginary that it exists in a single thought, as if it is just an illusion.

For Qi Xuansu, he has already had the experience of meeting in dreams, so it is not difficult to become familiar with such techniques.

When he was about to fall asleep, Qi Xuansu took out a little "returning incense" from his "Silver Fish Talisman", lit it, and soon fell into a dream.

Because there was no fish talisman to guide him, Qi Xuansu did not go to the dream meeting this time. After waking up from the dream, he overlooked the upper palace of the Wanxiang Dao Palace from a strange perspective, which the West calls the "god's perspective" .

Under normal circumstances, people can only see what they can see. Due to the twisting of the neck, they cannot see their back, the top of their head, the back of their head, etc., but the perspective at this time But it is freed from the constraints of the human body and can be rotated at will, taking in everything from a superior third-person perspective. Even though this perspective is still limited by the position of the main body, because the main body is currently located in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, Qi Xuansu can only It can overlook part of the Vientiane Taoist Palace, but it is also comparable to a god overlooking the world. No wonder the West calls it the "God's Perspective".

He could even see himself sleeping cross-legged through the barrier of the wall and roof.

From this perspective, Qi Xuansu could also see hazy and illusory "bubbles" one after another, as if there was a layer of fog, or as if there were ice flowers on the glass window. He could only vaguely see the figures shaking and the scene changing, but If you can't tell clearly, it's probably just a dream, which really made Qi Xuansu see what "dream bubbles" are.

Qi Xuansu probably wanted to understand one thing. He should also be in a "bubble" and looking out through the "bubble", and this special perspective was due to the "bubble".

Qi Xuansu also discovered that with his current state of cultivation, without special media such as fish talismans as a traction, he could only be about twenty miles away from the main body, but within a twenty-mile radius centered on the main body, Qi Xuansu could You can go to heaven and earth, travel thousands of miles in an instant, walk through walls and houses, you can do whatever you want, and you can also jump directly from one dream to another adjacent dream.

No wonder many alchemists would act randomly in dreams, forcing the Taoist sect to give repeated orders not to use supernatural powers in dreams to do evil. Once discovered, they would be severely punished. This is also a sense in which a sharp knife is in hand and the intention to kill arises.

Qi Xuansu looked in the direction of Kunyuan. There was not a single "blister" there. It was obvious that all the assistants had already gotten rid of the "low-level fun" of dreaming. At this time, they were either not sleeping, or were meditating, practicing Qi, etc. Instead of falling asleep, or simply having a dreamless night. Zhenyuan and Duiyuan are the residences of high-quality Taoist priests, and there are very few "bubbles". On the contrary, there are many large and small "bubbles" in the Xunyuan and Xiagong areas.

Qi Xuansu didn't dare to go near Kunyuan. God knows if he would be discovered by the real people. He went to the nearby Xunyuan first, planning to find someone to practice his skills with.

While traveling through Xun Garden, he suddenly saw the dream of an acquaintance.

Lu Shuihan is a descendant of the Lu family of Taiping Dao. He and his two companions are both outstanding among the younger generation. Lu Shuihan is now the fifth-grade candidate for sacrificial wine, while Bai Yuru and Zhao Huang are the sixth-grade preliminary sacrificial wine. The three of them had a small "misunderstanding" with Zhang Yuelu in the past. ", was taught a lesson by Zhang Yuelu.

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and quietly entered Lu Shuihan's dream.

This is a luxurious private estate. Lu Shuihan is standing with his head bowed and his fists clenched, full of humiliation and unwillingness.

There were many children of well-known aristocratic families around, also standing with different expressions.

Only one person could sit down, and he even held two very good-looking women in his arms. Judging from the aura of the two women, they were probably not romantic women, but rich ladies from the same aristocratic family.

At this time, the man and woman sitting were teasing each other softly. The man's face could not be seen clearly, but the woman smiled sweetly. The three of them acted very boldly and ambiguously, and they did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed in front of everyone. Qi Xuansu was so conservative and had never seen this before. This is an eye-opener for many worldly bumpkins, and I have to sigh that these kids from aristocratic families still know how to play.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu could also clearly feel the anger, unwillingness, and aggrievedness of the owner of the dream, Lu Shuihan, and roughly understood the meaning of this dream.
