Chapter 172: The fifth level of the art of penetrating seclusion
"The process of improving spiritual cultivation is very difficult and complex. Food and medicinal materials are essential. This is the same as human athletes. When they exercise their physical fitness, they need to eat high-energy foods to supplement their physical strength. The same is true for spiritual cultivation. Of course, there is also a way to improve spiritual cultivation, but I guess you will definitely not use it."
I asked, "I know, you mean, kill the other wizards?"
"Yes, hurting the life of a wizard is also a means to improve spiritual cultivation, and the effect is the most obvious, especially for us wizard forbidden art practitioners, which is the lowest cost in comparison. Moreover, this wizard is a very broad concept, and as long as it exists in the wizard world, it can be done.
However, using food and medicinal materials to improve spiritual cultivation is laborious, time-consuming and expensive, and the cost is quite high. As the Huanglin Beast I mentioned, if you want to capture one, it will be really difficult, so the method you choose is up to you. Of course, if you don’t want to kill someone, there are still Huanglin Beasts in my home. As long as you are willing to practice the magic of enlightenment, I can provide them all to you."
It seems that Ma Yunlu is determined to win today. Except for "coercion", he used all the other means that can be used. He only heard the tone of the phantom and said excitedly: "Brother, Huang Lin Beast's body is the top tonic, which can prolong life, cure diseases and eliminate disasters. This is something that cannot be bought for no matter how much money. Brother, as a wizard, don't be flirted anymore."
"You just follow the good words, in short, you can say ok if you can benefit you."
"This is good for you and me. If you improve your spiritual cultivation power, you can practice higher-level witchcraft, and my abilities can be further improved. In turn, my abilities can also improve your spiritual cultivation power, which can form a virtuous cycle system. The final result is that you and my wizard's abilities continue to improve, so as to finally achieve the result you want. This is several times more effective than a simple wizard's personal cultivation."
I was really moved by the words of the Huanshou, and I heard Ma Yunlu say again: "Brother, my brother has said this. If you don't agree, then I will die in front of you." After that, I really took out a dagger from my body and stabbed it into my heart without hesitation.
Seeing Ma Yunlu like this, I was so scared that I hurriedly hugged his hand tightly. I felt that Ma Yunlu had used all his strength and was definitely not just acting. He said, "Brother, let it go, since you are determined not to care about the life and death of my Ma family, why bother to commit suicide?"
I was so helpless by his series of actions that I could only compromise: "Okay, Brother Ma, I promise you, will it be true? I promise you to learn the secret arts well."
When he heard this, he immediately looked relieved and said happily: "Brother, I really want to thank you."
After all, Ma Yunlu is also a person who dominates the world of wizards. However, when he met for the first time, his performance was far from what I imagined. He could use this method of crying, making a fuss and hanging himself. Isn’t this a common method used by women in human society? Why, is it also very popular in the world of wizards?
Huanshou said: "You know how many wizards want to learn ghost art but cannot get it. They are still good at getting it. You are really good at it. A bitch is just pretentious."
I didn't want to continue discussing this matter with him. After that, Ma Song and others who were unaware of it returned to the private room, served wine and food and started eating and drinking. During the meal, Ma Yunlu did not say anything about this. He entrusted the rise and fall of the family to an irrelevant outsider, but he was unwilling to let his family know that he really didn't know how he planned this matter.
At this time, I was completely confused and didn't know what kind of gourd Ma Yunlu was selling. Or, am I really the kind of genius wizard who is invincible and has nowhere in a hundred thousand. Will I be destined to lead the Chinese mainland wizard world to the peak in the future?
Thinking of this, I shook my head and smiled bitterly.
When he broke up after dinner, he specifically reminded: "Tomorrow night we will start practicing the secret technique, and the Huanglin beast will be delivered soon. At that time, I promise that your spiritual cultivation will reach another level."
I went back to spend one day with my mother. In the evening, Ma Song drove Ma Yunlu and me to the foot of Dahe Mountain, another famous mountain in Lucheng, and then left.
At night, people are rarely visited around Dahe Mountain, with only the occasional cry of night owls. People feel panicked under the quiet environment under the night.
After looking around, Ma Yunlu said, "It is hard to find such a good place. In the early stage of the art of enlightenment, the surrounding environment must be used to perform its effects. In other words, only in places with strong yin energy can the caster see the ghost.
However, as long as you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can communicate with ghosts anytime and anywhere. This is what humans call a psychic medium. I know that you don’t understand the reason why you master this wizard forbidden technique now, but I promise that in the near future, you will understand all this. At that time, you will not have any objections to my words."
"Can't you explain it to me now?"
Ma Yunlu smiled and said, "Some words were said without intention. What you see with your own eyes is more important than what you hear with your ears, so just believe me. For you, the secret technique is not just a skill."
After saying that, he took out a small bottle of liquid from a quaint leather bag, a golden disc, a dagger made of white bones, and two paper money with talismans drawn.
Ma Yunlu first opened the cap of the small bottle containing the liquid, then dipped it in his index finger and wiped it around my left eye. Then he used a bone knife to cut a small mouth in his palm, squeezed out several drops of blood in the golden plate, and said to me: "Put the blood evenly on the palm of your left hand."
I did as I said, and Ma Yunlu continued, "Then, rolled out a round hole with his left hand and placed it on his left eye."
I rolled my left hand into a "teleoscope", looked at Ma Yunlu through the gap and asked, "What?"
Ma Yunlu didn't say anything and moved my head to the car window. Suddenly, I saw a man with a rotten face and a black ragged robe on his body bent down and looked into our car. I was so scared that I immediately retreated into the car. But after putting down my hand, I found that the car window was empty and there was nothing. Could it be that I was dazzled just now?
Seeing me with an inexplicable expression, Ma Yunlu said: "This is the initial state of the secret art. This level of practitioners can see the life of another world, which is what we call ghosts. For example, what I wiped the tears of cows on your left eye. My blood contains the blood of the Huanglin beast. These are all spiritual things, but you cannot communicate with them yet. If you want to communicate, you must reach the second level."
Speaking of this, he took out a small wooden box with wax seal from his bag, scraped the wax layer and opened the wooden box, and saw that there were three thin-skinned stone pieces similar to Tianhuangshi carved, each about the size of a thumb.
Ma Yunlu said: "This is the scales of the Huanglin beast, an ancient spiritual object. Cook the water of the Styx for two days in low heat. After drinking it, you will gain a higher level of spiritual cultivation. From today on, this is yours."
The fantasy head smacked his lips and said, "This is a real rare treasure, but it is much more valuable than my 50 million Chinese currency." This is the first time I feel this guy drooling, which shows that this thing is really a treasure.
Should I need such a valuable thing? Seeing that I hesitated, he stuffed it into my hand and said, "This is not for you, it is for my children."
"So, where should I look for the water of the Styx?"
Ma Yunlu didn't know that this sentence was asked by Huanshou. He replied: "The water of the River Styx that I know is in a cave under the Broken Soul Cliff in Datong City. This cave is my hiding place. You can go there to obtain the water of the River Styx at any time and then use it to improve your spiritual cultivation. However, the ultimate goal is to first learn the most basic introductory skills of the psychic art."
"Okay, I try not to disappoint you, Brother Ma."
"The art of Tongyou is divided into five levels, which are respectively seeing ghosts, listening to ghosts, touching ghosts, avoiding ghosts, and controlling ghosts. You have mastered ghosts, and this is not difficult. Listening to ghosts, as the name suggests, means being able to hear what ghosts say. This is equivalent to the introductory skill of the voodoo doll. If you can talk to the ghosts that seal it, you have actually achieved the art of listening to ghosts.
Next is touching ghosts. The so-called touching ghosts are actually not only contacting the ghosts you see, but also the environment they are in. Because humans and ghosts have different paths, when you see ghosts, you actually see the world they are in. This is a test of your courage. When you suddenly find that you are in that environment, you must be calm and not be afraid, otherwise you will not be able to come back and will be left in that underworld forever.
Therefore, the third level is to train your courage. So, what you really need to practice at the moment is to start from the fourth level. You need to know how to avoid ghosts, that is, when you see ghosts, how can it not be seen when you see ghosts? Only when you really reach this point can you be called Tonggu Master. Controlling ghosts is the highest level of Tonggu Master, and you can directly control ghosts for your use. There are actually ghosts everywhere in this wizard world. When you truly become the top Tonggu Master, you will find that this is a very practical skill, which is definitely not inferior to any kind of wizard forbidden technique."
