Main text Chapter 18: Unpredictable things in the world, three ways to strengthen the soul



Qiu Yan just opened his eyes yesterday, and his spiritual practice is still shallow, but he has a divine power star left by the deity in his body. This is still a flesh and blood body. After all, it has its limits and cannot bear more. Otherwise, just in case, he will definitely Keep more stars in your body.

He just stepped forward to investigate, mobilizing a trace of divine power to attach to his eyes. He wanted to find out what Pan Rongniang's illness was, but he never thought that what was lying on the bed was just a shell, and the soul inside had long since disappeared. Fly.

A person has three souls and seven souls in one body. The soul is in the body, and the soul is the form. Only with the soul can there be life. If the soul is gone, it is a lonely ghost. On the contrary, if the soul is lost, even if the body is healthy, it has no backbone and consciousness, and is nothing but an empty shell.

Pan Rongniang's body is still there, but her soul is not in her body. How can she still wake up?

Without the soul, the body has no center to function and mobilize, and the vitality and blood cannot flow, and gradually settles and solidifies. Even if the doctor sees it, he will only think that the end is approaching, the oil will run out, and the lamp will dry up, and he will prepare for the funeral.

"However, this is just the surface. The body is still there, and it can at least lock in the basic vitality and blood. Although it looks like it is dying, it is actually still alive. It is equivalent to the brain death and vegetative state in the previous life. As long as it is fed and maintained every day, Necessary nutrition, not life-threatening.”

Realizing this, Qiu Yan's body lightened up, and the power of cause and effect that tightened and locked his body suddenly dissipated. Only then did he notice the expressions of the people around him.

Liu Yue had a gloomy look on his face, Mrs. Liu had a panicked look on her face, and the little maid was completely stunned.

"What do you mean by the third young master's words? Am I going to be kicked out too?" Ms. Liu was obviously at a loss.

"Madam, madam, please go and beg the master. If you are kicked out, what will I do?" The maid burst into tears. The Liu family and her daughter she was serving had no status in the palace. If she is weak, the life of the maid will certainly be difficult, but if her master is gone, she will have no support at all, and it will be even more miserable than now.

When the master and servant were in a panic, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and they saw the two big men guarding the backyard door walking in.

The two of them sighed after seeing the scene in the room, and one of them said: "Guanshi Liu, Liu Huai, the young master has an order for you to leave Pan's house."

Another said: "Old steward, we are here on orders, please make it convenient."

"I have done so many things for the young master? I ended up like this?" Liu Yue suddenly shook his head, "No! It must be a villain! Yes, it's Zheng Yan! He was the one who slandered me!"

On the other side, Mrs. Liu also stood up: "Where is the master? I have served the master for so many years, and now that Rong Niang has encountered such a thing, I don't believe that the master will abandon me!"

The two big men looked at the people in the room and smiled bitterly: "Old steward, please do this for your convenience. The two of us are just following orders."

"Oh," Liu Huai sighed, "Okay, let's pack everything up. Yue'er, Yan'er, you two go hire a sedan bearer to carry Rong Niang later. Third sister, don't cry, there's nothing we can do about it. Everything about our family was given by Mr. Pan. If he wants to take it back now, he has no choice but to accept his fate. Don't waste time. People will look down on the Liu family!"

After hearing Liu Huai's words, the room suddenly fell silent.

Beside the bed, Qiu Yan gently picked his fingers. In his field of vision, several strands of black energy emerged from the ground, rising and wrapping around him, but the people around him did not notice it at all.

"It's nerve-wracking. The karma of grudges has gotten worse..."

Vaguely, the entire Pan Mansion was connected to him and had a hatred relationship.

"It doesn't matter, Liu Huai and others treat me well and are kind to others, but this Pan family is ruthless. Even if there is no causal involvement, I can't ignore it!"

Thinking like this, he gradually came up with an idea.

After half a stick of incense, Liu Huai and his party started walking in despair. Most of the servants in Pan's mansion were well-informed. When they saw this scene, they gave pointers along the way, quite gloating about the misfortune, and a few even came to deliberately humiliate them.

When they arrived at the door, Qiu Yan and Liu Yue put Pan Rongniang on the sedan chair and escorted her all the way back to the Liu family yard.

Qiu Yan's aunt and sister-in-law had also received the news and were waiting at the door. When they saw Liu Huai, Mrs. Liu and others, they immediately came out to greet them. When the family met, there was inevitably another burst of sadness. Several women burst into tears, and they were gloomy for a while. .

Many neighbors watched from a distance and pointed.

Liu Huai shook his head and whispered: "Stop crying here, if people see it, no one will pity you!"

Having said that, when the family entered the yard, they burst into tears again. Not only because of what happened to Pan Rongniang and the Liu family, but also worried about their future life. Liu Huai and his son were "unemployed" now. Even if the family's remaining wealth could last for a while, Over time, eating becomes a problem.

"The fate and livelihood of the whole family are in his hands. One moment he was in charge of the house, but with a word from others, he was immediately reduced to a subordinate, and the neighbors looked down upon him."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qiu Yan thought of the happy scene of his family a few days ago, and he couldn't help but feel that the world is impermanent. He also realized that this is a world with distinct classes.

"No wonder my predecessor was so determined to seek fame. He wanted to change the fate of his family."

………………

At the same time, in the City God's Temple, the deity himself was still talking to the City God of Yuanning. Although the avatar and the original deity were connected in consciousness, they were relatively independent.

The previous topic is no longer, replaced by the question raised by the god himself——

"Lord City God, I wonder how the soul will grow stronger after it leaves the body?"

Cheng Huang glanced at him: "You are asking for that mortal, right? He just got the "Inner Secret of the Sleeping God", and he should try to meditate and try to get out of his soul as soon as possible. He doesn't have to think about such far-fetched things. But I have something to say first. Since It's your suggestion, so you should respond."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed, shooting out a beam of starlight, which landed on Qiu Yan's hand.

Qiu Yan squeezed it hard, and the starlight shattered and scattered little by little, and he swallowed it in his mouth.

Yuanning City God said: "There are three main ways to strengthen the living soul."

"The first is that the soul travels at night and enters people's dreams. People have seven emotions and six desires, joys, anger, sorrows, and joys, and they have thousands of thoughts, especially in dreams. At night, they will be scattered around you, and you can choose to swallow them and grow stronger. Self-soul. However, emotions and thoughts are relatively complex, so don’t swallow too much at one time, otherwise your temperament will change if your emotions and thoughts are infiltrated and your mind is not strong enough.”

"Oh? No wonder there are stories of ghosts being caused by dreams and dreams. It seems that someone is practicing the Soul Dao in other people's dreams." Hearing this, Qiu Yan recalled some of the rumors and strange stories he had heard during the three days of research and in his previous life.

"The second is to swallow the soul, especially the soul of the newly deceased. For newly deceased people, the emotions and thoughts before death remain in the soul and have not yet dissipated. If you swallow them at this time, you can integrate them into your soul and grow stronger. It's just that this kind of life The soul often contains strong and extreme emotions and thoughts, which are difficult to resolve. The more you swallow, the greater the impact on your soul, and it can even change a person's temperament. "

"Swallowing the soul?" Hearing this, Qiu Yan was horrified, "Could it be that Pan Rongniang's soul has been... No, if the living soul is swallowed, it means that the soul flies away and dissipates, and the connection with the body is completely interrupted. In this way, the body He has long since given up his life and is completely dead.”

While he was thinking, Cheng Huang continued: "This third method is the simplest, but also the most difficult to achieve, which is to calm the mind and cultivate it with the Dharma. This method varies from person to person. The techniques vary, but it’s not easy to get the techniques and techniques.”

"Oh? Ning Xin calms down and cultivates it with skills?" Qiu Yan's heart moved, as if he had grasped something.

On the other side, after the city god finished speaking, he raised his hand and saw a piece of talisman paper in his hand. Lines were drawn on the paper, winding and winding to form a complex pattern, like the core talisman seal of the god.

"Since you are helping people, you should help them thoroughly. This talisman was obtained from a Taoist priest in Qingping Dao. When the mortal's soul comes out of his body, you can help him by burning it with your divine power."
