"There are three thresholds for getting started with 'Ghost Sword Art'."
Under the darkness, Mei Jiren spoke without any delay.
Xu Xiaoshou was given so many restrictions and could only use "ghost sword skills" to fight Taixu with a soul. Even he felt that Xu Xiaoshou had no chance of winning this battle.
But winning or losing doesn't matter.
In Mei Jiren's view, as long as Xu Xiaoshou can quickly learn the "ghost sword art" under strong pressure and not mention the "soul-controlling art", given his age and given time, he will surely reach the top.
As soon as he spoke, Xu Xiaoshou looked sideways.
The ghost woman was no exception. Her soul body's ears were raised high, and she was a little surprised that the old swordsman's sword did not avoid her, but was so "high-spirited and honorable".
very good!
This is very "ancient sword cultivation"!
The ghost woman doesn't have much intention to secretly learn "ghost sword skills". She knows how much she weighs.
But Mei Jiren said so eloquently that she did not eavesdrop on anything and used it to prepare for Xu Xiaoshou's next move. This was really a disgrace to Gu Jianxiu's noble character!
Mei Jiren obviously knew about the ghost woman's plan, but still did not send a message, and said impartially and enlightenedly:
"The first step is to enter the Tao with 'Everything is a Sword', and deeply sense the 'spirit of all things'. All things have animism, regardless of life or death, and those whose inspiration and soul are different from ordinary people can easily achieve this step. Those with dull talents can progress throughout their lives." Can’t open the door.”
His body was floating in mid-air, his clothes were moving with the wind, and the sword intent on his body was rising steadily with the words in his mouth.
Not long after, this illusory world began to become distorted under the influence of the sword. Everything seemed to be ordered, the gravel rose and fell, and the wind stopped.
"rise."
Mei Jiren raised his hand.
The sand and gravel on the long street, the moss on the building walls, and even the tiny and undetectable creatures floating in the air are all extracted from them with specks of dark light.
"This is...'spirit'!"
The ghost woman Tong Kong trembled, and she had already made a basic explanation of Mei Jiren's skills from the level of soul cultivation in the spirit refining process.
Everything has a "spirit". When the "spirit" is formed, it can give birth to a "spirit body" and "spiritual wisdom".
The simplest example is that after a long period of cultivation of the elixir, once the level reaches the level, it is possible to give birth to spiritual wisdom and become a treasure that can be practiced independently and knows how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.
For example, if one of the nine ancestral trees, the dragon apricot, receives blood, his status will rise to the highest level.
But this is the evolutionary path of strong life forms.
It may take millions of years for non-living bodies and weak living bodies to go through this journey from "inanimate" to "born into a spirit".
Like sand, gravel, ephemera, etc., if we want to truly give birth to spiritual wisdom, it is not impossible to say that it is only one in a billion.
The formed "soul body" is easy to find, and so can the hag.
But the unformed "spirit"... What's more, what is being pulled out now is the "spirit" floating in the gravel and wind. The ghost woman was shocked when she saw it.
She has made great achievements in the field of souls, but she also thinks that she cannot find such a weak "spirit" so easily as Mei Jiren has found now!
And now...
For ancient sword cultivators, is this just one of the three major thresholds for entry into "ghost swordsmanship"
Xu Xiaoshou wanted to meet Mei Jiren's requirements and achieve his level without having ever been exposed to this kind of thing before
The ghost woman suddenly felt that the world was like a joke, a little too funny!
No wonder…
No wonder the ancient sword cult became extinct...
Oh no, it can’t be considered extinct. Are there not two eldest and youngest left in front of us
But it’s not without reason that the Ancient Sword Cult is on the verge of extinction in today’s era!
The ghost woman looked at Xu Xiaoshou with amused eyes, wanting to see what this guy could learn.
Anyway, she was just confused after listening to Mei Jiren's words. She also didn't believe that Xu Xiaoshou could master this after listening to only one sentence and not even learning "mental methods", "formulas", "techniques", etc. "The method of summoning spirits".
"This is 'spirit'."
Mei Jiren left no trace and glanced at the facial expression of the ghost woman who turned from shocked to amused. Her eyes fell on Xu Xiaoshou. She didn't say much, only explained one sentence.
In ancient sword cultivation, there are many things that can only be understood but cannot be explained in words.
If Xu Xiaoshou's soul body is not strong and his "Everything is a Sword" has not reached the point where he can sense the "spirit", it will be useless no matter what he says, he can only let Xu Xiaoshou continue to practice from the basics. rise.
But it is obvious that Xu Xiaoshou’s foundation is very solid, judging from his previous “gods and Buddhas under his eyes”.
-If his soul body is not strong, his mental body cannot be strong, then it is impossible for him to visualize such a terrifying image of "gods and Buddhas before his eyes" without suffering backlash!
"This is the 'spirit'..."
In fact, Xu Xiaoshou didn't need to wait for others to explain.
As soon as Mr. Jiren raised his hand, the knowledge in his mind was mobilized, and he also knew how to do this move, what the principle was, and how it could become one of the "three thresholds" for practicing "Ghost Sword Art".
"is that so?"
Facing the ghost woman's teasing gaze, Xu Xiaoshou pondered for a moment, then followed his teacher and raised his right hand in the air, raising it high.
"rise!"
There was a bang, and in an instant, the long street at night seemed to be lit up by thousands of lights at the same time, and countless and endless "spirits" densely floated in the air.
That dazzling luster is actually competing with the bright moon with the light of fireflies at this moment!
Mei Jiren's hand suddenly shook, and his expression immediately froze.
Xiao Kongtong's jaw dropped and closed again, almost biting off the tip of his tongue.
The eyes of the hag who only had one soul left were bulging forward, and her expression was so shocked that she seemed to have seen a ghost instead of being a ghost, full of disbelief.
"Under suspicion, passive value, +3."
"It's very simple~"
The corners of Xu Xiaoshou's lips curled up, he looked at his husband happily and said, "I have some experience with 'Everything is a Sword', so you can skip this step."
Everything is a sword, and he had already learned it when "Sword Mastery" was still at its lowest level.
With the continuous upgrading of this proficient passive skill, Xu Xiaoshou has already reached the pinnacle.
And along the way, he has been tortured by the bosses from all sides... After having "perception", he has been exercising his mental resistance all the time. With the "finger of disillusionment", he can continuously trigger the "spiritual resistance". The method of "awakening" exercises the spiritual body and soul body of soul power, and it is easy to draw out so many "spirits" at the same time without any difficulty.
Some thoughts... Rao Shimei had expected that Xu Xiaoshou's soul power might be very strong, but she was really frightened by his move.
This is also "too insightful"!
Your realm of "everything is a sword" is no longer inferior to being a teacher...
The strength of your mental body and soul body, judging from the performance of the Heart Sword Technique "Behind the Divine Buddha", may be a little worse, but I'm afraid it's not much worse than your teacher...
Mei Jiren was stunned for a long time, then nodded gently and said calmly: "It's not bad."
Uh, can this only be called "can"... Kongtong smiled from the side and twitched his lips slightly, thinking that what Xu Xiaoshou showed with this hand was already at the level of the "Ghost Sword Art" he had practiced for many days. This was obviously "Very good"!
genius!
Mother's undoubted genius!
He is just a genius in the "Swordsmanship of the Heart", but Xu Xiaoshou is also a genius in the "Swordsmanship of the Ghost"!
At a certain moment, Xiao Kongtong even had the idea of becoming Xu Xiaoshou's master and devoted all his efforts to cultivate this talent. However, he soon killed this evil thought.
Darling, this is a super senior!
It's impossible for Senior Wuxiu to allow it, nor is it possible for the teacher, Mr. Jiren... Well, he should be able to kill people!
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
The ghost behind him rubbed his eyes violently and looked again, only to find that the "thousands of lights" were not a figment of phantom swordsmanship, but a real existence.
She glanced at Xu Xiaoshou silently, and her mind, which was like a pool of stagnant water, began to become active.
"Without the 'mantra' required for cultivation, and without the 'transfer of mind' required for spiritual skills, how could Xu Xiaoshou master the 'Spirit Summoning Technique' all at once?"
"Could it be that there is some true meaning hidden in Mei Jiren's teaching words that I didn't hear?"
The ghost woman carefully recalled what Mei Jiren said just now, and found that what the old swordsman said about the "Spirit Summoning Technique" was just a simple sentence:
"Enter Taoism with 'All Things Are Swords', and deeply sense the 'spirits of all things'. All things have animism, regardless of life or death, and those whose inspiration and soul are different from ordinary people can easily achieve this step. Those with dull talents will not be able to enter the door for the rest of their lives."
She disassembled and pieced it together word by word, trying to find the deep meaning contained in it, not even letting go of the explanatory supplements in the second half of the sentence.
In the end, to no avail, she added the three words "first step" in front of it, but still couldn't find the answer she wanted.
"Is it possible that you even need to move?"
After seeing the results of Xu Xiaoshou's practice, the ghost woman really didn't want to let go of the opportunity to steal her master.
She believed that she was quite talented in the realm of souls and had more years of training experience. As long as she understood the deep meaning of Mei Jiren's words, she could "summon spirits" as easily as Xu Xiaoshou.
So, when the three people in front of them focused their attention on Xu Xiaoshou, she vaguely raised her hand, comprehending the "mantra" in her mind, and silently recited:
"rise!"
“…”
A silent wind drifted through the air.
The hag only saw a few large undead bodies that resembled the lake, but not a single one of gravel, mayflies, or dust particles!
"It's not that bad..."
The ghost woman frowned, wondering if she should respond to this "mantra" and say it out loud
Just do what comes to mind.
She once again silently recited Mei Jiren's "profound" words, then spoke like beads, tried her best to suppress her voice, and shouted softly:
"rise!"
With a flick of the brush, the conversations of the three people in front stopped at the same time.
Three scorching eyes turned around in the night, crossed the empty air in front of the ghost woman, and fell on the face of her soul body.
Zhi~
The ghost woman felt that her face was burning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she could even imagine the sound of gas rising from her face.
This sudden "rise"...
So embarrassing!
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes became complicated, and his expression soon became distorted.
Mei Jiren also puffed up his cheeks, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks lifted up slightly, but he quickly restrained himself.
But Xiao Kongtong couldn’t hold it in any longer…
"Pfft!"
He grinned widely and laughed out loud on the spot.
"Wa hahaha-"
The endless ridicule turned into invisible pressure and invaded the ghost body. She tried hard to suppress her shame and made up for herself: "Why can't I do it?"
"Hehe, hehe, hehe..." As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaoshou couldn't hold himself any longer.
His weird laughter made Mei Jiren next to him, who was almost unable to hold back, tighten his expression. He immediately suppressed the possibility of becoming emotional and violently gave him a violent shudder while holding a paper fan.
"What kind of laughter... restrain yourself, everyone has a desire to learn."
Xu Xiaoshou covered his head and wiped his tears, saying to his heart, Teacher, you have never seen me, Elder Qiao, do you look down on me... Ah, you can't listen to the laughter of Elder Qiao, the leader of the four sons of the Holy Palace
Xiao Kongtong covered his head and finally suppressed his happiness. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Grandma, please give us some respect for practicing the ancient sword. The 'Ghost Sword Technique' is not that easy to practice."
How did Xu Xiaoshou get there in one step... The ghost woman curled her lips and looked away.
"Step two!"
Mei Jiren's words brought people back to serious matters.
It seemed to the students that his sword intent was restrained, and he deliberately manifested it into air ripples visible to the naked eye, which returned to his eyes.
In an instant, Mei Jiren's eyes widened, and there were two small dark swords condensed with sword intent.
Then he glanced coldly, and the dim light from Tong Kong's sword reflected on the "spirit" he had summoned before.
"The sword intention returns to the body, the intention resides in the body, the eyes open the window, using a method similar to the 'Heart Sword Art', but it no longer focuses on the spiritual and will level, but on the soul level, opens the 'ghost sign' in the eyes, and controls all things." spirit'."
Ghost lottery, a brand new term... Xu Xiaoshou thought about it and soon found similar experiences in the knowledge base in his mind.
"The feeling of finding 'spirit' in 'Everything is a Sword' is the feeling of focusing on the soul level... "
"Appropriate this feeling, focus the sword intention on the child's hole, turn the invisible into the shape, and manifest the two dark little swords. This is the 'ghost sign'..."
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines and over 100 sounds. It is also a source-changing tool that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org Source-changing App
"The 'Ghost Lottery' is equivalent to the power of the Spiritual Lord of the Heart Sword Technique, 'The Immortal Buddha', should it now be called the 'Soul Lord'? Well, strictly speaking, it should be the edict in the hands of the 'Soul Lord', which can enslave all things The 'spirit'..."
On the one hand, she was still searching for memories in the knowledge base, but on the other hand, the Mihaoshi student Guipo, who was stealing from her master, also started to study seriously.
Ghost sign…
The ghost woman couldn't understand the previous words.
But later, her thoughts changed and she thought, isn't this the "soul seal"
When she manipulates ghosts, she must use the "soul seal" to become the ghost's master before she can issue orders.
There are two small dark swords like this in Xiao Kongtong's eyes. Is this another interpretation of "soul seal" in ancient sword cultivation
The ghost woman didn't need to practice this move at all, she had already mastered it. She immediately turned her eyes to look at Xu Xiaoshou with a slight sneer on her lips.
Different from the previous feeling of searching for a soul, condensing the "soul seal" really requires skills and experience!
She had no teacher back then, so she studied the cultivation method of the soul alone.
It took half a year just to find the feeling of condensing the "soul seal" - this was more difficult than Xiaobai's first time refining the spirit and finding the way the spiritual energy was transferred between the muscles and veins!
The ghost woman successfully condensed the first soul seal and spent several days. This was already considered a very high level of talent.
But at the beginning, the "soul mark" could only control souls that were unable to resist, such as chickens and ducks. By the time the "soul mark" grew to the point where it could control large-scale ghosts that could be used for combat, it would be more than half a year later.
Meiji held similar ideas.
He has no extraordinary talent in the practice of "Ghost Sword Art" and can only be regarded as averagely strong.
Therefore, based on experience, I know that "ghost sign" may be a bit difficult to understand conceptually for a novice "ghost sword" practitioner. I just finished a sentence and was about to add additional explanations.
Who would have thought that Xu Xiaoshou would have moved after finishing the knowledge in his mind.
"is that so?"
