Fairy cage

The huge coercion loomed over the entire forum, making all Taoist disciples tremble with fear.

Yu Lie was no exception. He still felt the smell of death in his heart.

"Such a huge pressure of spiritual consciousness cannot be released by a seventh-grade Taoist official, it must be above seventh-grade!"

Yu Lie was thinking in his heart, and he raised his head with difficulty, not looking directly, but looking up with his peripheral vision.

He only saw a piece of auspicious cloud falling from the sky, with a group of people standing on it. In the center of the leader was a Taoist priest in gray robe sitting cross-legged. His face was not young, but a bit old, and he had a goatee on his chin.

Pingdan's voice continued to ring out at the scene: "Principal Taoist Shan Yangzi, by order of the Taoist Palace, is here to teach you and other new disciples the first lesson."

The opponent did not land on the stone pillar in the center of the pulpit, but continued to perch high on the auspicious clouds, looking down at the many Taoist disciples present.

His voice paused for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "Now, let's officially start the lecture."

jingle!

In Yu Lie's peripheral vision, among the group of people accompanying Shan Yangzi on the left and right sides, someone immediately started playing the faro and sounded the leather drum, and a mysterious sound fell from mid-air, reaching the frightened Yu Lie. When they were waiting for someone, it was like running water, causing their thoughts to stop instantly.

Xuanyin's witty words sounded in the pulpit, and in the auspicious clouds under which Shan Yangzi sat cross-legged, strange flowers were born. Among the flowers were sharp teeth, goat's horns, and deer's hooves, which were extremely weird. .

At this time, the other party still maintained its suppression of the Taoist disciples. Naturally, Gu Xuecheng and Tie Jianlan were unable to move and could only kneel on the ground obediently.

"In the first class, Pindao only talked about two words - aura."

Ding!

Shan Yangzi's superior voice sounded again, and the thoughts of Yu Lie and other Taoist disciples changed instantly. They looked at the flowers, sheep's heads, deer antlers, tiger heads and other objects that the other party was sitting on. They felt their bodies sway faintly, and then they were absorbed. .

Among them, Yu Lie can vaguely resist this attraction because his soul has been tempered. But he hesitated for a moment and did not resist.

"This is a palace of Taoism, and it is also a place for preaching. Those who come here should not do anything too big, so they should observe it first."

So Yu Lie's eyes were blurry. When his eyes were clear again, he suddenly found that he had turned into a flower with sharp teeth. Its body was swaying with the strong wind, and there were still sharp teeth among them. As if chewing something.

"Is this an illusion, or am I leaning over this thing?" Yu Lie was suddenly surprised.

He was not the only one who was surprised. The other Taoist disciples were also confused, and then found themselves transformed into different entities such as vegetation, wolves, dogs, cats and mice, jackals, tigers and leopards.

"What kind of magic is this that can capture our souls?"

"Possessing someone else's body, isn't it possible only for Taoist priests who have cultivated Yinshen? And they must be advanced among Taoist priests."

Some people are surprised: "Is this the soul leaving the body and attaching to something else?! After this experience, won't I have experience to follow when I break through the out-of-body separation in the future?"

More than five hundred Taoist disciples, their consciousness is instilled in the grass, trees and animals. Their bodies are small, and they fall on the auspicious clouds where Shan Yangzi sits. They are as big as a toad at most, but they form a small world between them, with dense forests, grasslands, There are tigers and leopards chasing each other, yellow cranes and wild geese buzzing like mosquitoes.

Shan Yangzi sat cross-legged, looking down at the things transformed by the Taoist disciples who were sitting down, and said to the followers on the left and right:

"Yes, yes. Although the number of this group of Taoist disciples is only five hundred, they have all seen the world and are not panicked. There are also a few seeds among them. Their souls are quite strong, and they can vaguely resist the temptation of poor Taoists. The method of soul."

He said with a smile: "These people are smart enough not to act carelessly, otherwise I would kick them out of the forum right now."

Shan Yangzi's gaze moved, and where it fell was several people including Yu Lie and Tie Jianlan.

The followers on Xiangyun heard this and flattered each other: "The Taoist's teachings are subtle and mysterious. It is really a blessing for the disciples to be able to hear the Taoist's teachings!"

"How wonderful it would be if we could be like this!"

There were ghosts, gods, and living people among the entourage. Among the living people, there were Taoist officials who came to maintain order, and there were also inner disciples from the palace who came to attend classes.

Among the several inner disciples, one was standing quietly in the team. This person's attention was not on Shan Yangzi, but mostly on the Taoist disciples listening to the lecture.

The person he paid attention to was only one person, Yu Lie.

Yu Lie turned into a piranha at this time. He was in a rather mysterious feeling. Although he had no facial features, he could easily sense his surroundings. Not only could he see Shan Yangzi, who was as tall as a mountain, A group of people can still hear the gossip in each other's mouths.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound sounded, and the piranha possessed by Yu Lie began to tremble instinctively.

Shan Yangzi, who was preaching, pinched his fingers gently to form an arc and placed them in front of him:

"The ancient monks said that they swallowed the essence of the sun and the moon. Therefore, they believed that the aura was the essence of the sun and the moon."

Suddenly there was a bright light on the podium, a golden sun appeared from Shan Yangzi's fingers, and a silver moon appeared from the other person's other hand, shining alternately, one round, like a hook, the sun and the moon were in sync. Hui.

"According to this statement, the spiritual energy stored in the world is only retained between heaven and earth by the essence of the sun and the moon, and is captured by the earth... All kinds of essences are all a beam of light."

Yu Lie and other Taoist disciples who transformed into plants and animals shook their possessed bodies and breathed through their mouths, trying to swallow up the essence of the sun and moon that fell on them.

Sure enough, there was something like a stream of light, which they swallowed into the possessed body, and the body grew like a full meal.

But the next moment, Shan Yangzi's voice sounded again:

"But this statement is only half correct."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, in the perception of Yu Lie and others, the sun and moon disappeared instantly, and the surrounding light became almost non-existent. Great terror arose in their hearts, and they suddenly felt that their bodies began to wither and age.

Slowly, they suddenly discovered that there was heat coming from the auspicious clouds rooted beneath them, like fire.

The piranha possessed by Yu Lie closed its mouth tightly and turned to grow roots. It took root deeply into the auspicious clouds and grew in the direction of the heat dissipation to capture the heat.

Shanyangzi spoke:

"There is also a saying that spiritual energy comes from the depths of the earth's crust and has been deposited for hundreds of millions of years. The earth's crust is like the egg shell of a chicken, with yolks, egg whites and other substances underneath. It naturally contains infinite power. The so-called spiritual energy , it just escapes from it.”

After Shan Yangzi finished speaking, Yu Lie and other possessed plants and animals began another round of changes. Their bodies became shorter, their roots became longer, and the animals' eyes also shrank to almost none.

"In the history of conquests in the mountains and seas, there were many worlds without the sun and the moon, but there were still living beings and auras in them. The places where the living beings gathered to survive were volcanoes, and roughly they relied on the volcanoes. The heat of magma survives.”

The auspicious clouds change, and the heat below surges, forming protrusions, like miniature volcanoes that are about to erupt.

But the next moment, Shan Yangzi said again: "This statement is only half correct."

Whoops!

The changing auspicious clouds stopped instantly, and the attention of Yu Lie and others was suddenly attracted to the sky above their heads.

I saw Shan Yangzi waving his sleeves, and the sleeves covered the entire auspicious cloud, like a huge cage net, covering Yu Lie and others. There were holes like fireflies emerging in the silk threads of his sleeves, through which A ray of light comes out.

Shan Yangzi's loud voice sounded: "There is also a saying that spiritual energy originates from the void and is the light of stars."

In the eyes of Yu Lie and others, all kinds of changes that can be called earth-shaking changes appeared in their perceptions one by one.

"There is also a saying that spiritual energy is the incense of mortals, brewing in the world, and then becoming spiritual energy. This statement is quite close, and it is 70% correct."

"There is also a saying that spiritual energy comes from flesh and blood... This theory is also close to 70%."

"Otherwise, it is said that spiritual energy is the remnant of the innate nature when the world first opened. If you use it a little, it will become less. Sooner or later, the spiritual energy will be exhausted..."

All kinds of explanations came out one after another from Shan Yangzi's mouth.

Until the end, the other party waved his sleeves and the pulpit returned to its original appearance.

Yu Lie and others transformed into flowers, trees, birds and animals, sitting in rows and leaning in front of Shan Yangzi.

Shan Yangzi sighed: "Actually, the true origin of spiritual energy is very simple."

At this moment, the other party suddenly lowered his head, and his huge human face was placed above Yu Lie and others, showing a smile, and a mouth of sharp teeth also revealed:

"Spirit, everything has animism, and its source is the soul. In other words, the soul of all things is the real source of aura. This is why the soul is called 'soul' today."

This statement fell into the minds of Yu Lie and other Taoist disciples. Some were shocked, some were indifferent, and some felt something was wrong and felt a little fear in their hearts.

Yu Lie has read many Taoist books. He knows that there was a dark time in the history of the Shanhai Realm. Taoist priests used their souls to refine blood money and devoured souls, so that they could continue the ancient immortal way.

And when training in the world of Dragon Court, the soul is indeed very useful and can be exchanged for spiritual stones, which also made him realize this.

Therefore, regarding Shan Yangzi's last statement, Yu Lie's mood was between shock and indifference. He agreed, but understood that what the other party said was not that simple.

Sure enough, the next moment.

Yu Lie and others suddenly felt that their bent bodies could move.

Yu Lie shook the piranha he was on, shook its roots, and pulled himself out of the auspicious cloud.

At this time, a joking voice sounded:

"In today's class, the one who obtains the most spiritual energy will be rewarded."

The joking sound came from Shan Yangzi's mouth, and the other party's eyes were fixed on Yu Lie and others, looking like they were watching a good show.

The other ghosts, gods, Taoist officials, etc. who were standing beside him also moved their eyes downward and fell on Yu Lie and other Taoist disciples.

Among the Taoist disciples, Yu Lie was slightly startled when he heard the other party's instructions, but he immediately reacted and understood what the other party meant.

The piranha he was leaning over shrank suddenly and hid its body under the ground transformed by auspicious clouds, avoiding the attack of a goat.

This goat was also transformed by a Taoist disciple. The goat stuck out its tongue and opened its mouth, just to bite off the piranha possessed by Yu Lie and swallow it into its belly.

After it missed the target, it immediately changed its target and bit another plant nearby.

The grass and trees did not react, and were suddenly bitten by the goat, then torn apart and swallowed into its belly.

During this process, there was a faint scream: "No, stop!"

When a goat eats a plant, its body grows and doubles in size instantly.

But before it could gain a firm foothold, a piranha flower suddenly emerged from the ground, its huge mouthparts opened, covering its head.

This piranha was transformed by Yu Lie.

Yu Lie took the goat's head into his mouth and bit it down fiercely. The branches and leaves also spread and grew, strangled on the goat's body, and incorporated the goat's head into its roots, turning it into his own flower fertilizer.

After devouring the goat Taoist disciple, the body of the possessed piranha instantly expanded three to four times, like a big tree.

"This is collecting spiritual energy!" Yu Lie controlled the piranha, opened its huge mouthparts, squirmed its branches and leaves, and immediately pounced on other living creatures on the left and right like a sinister smile.

In an instant, scenes of natural selection and predatory action were taking place all around. There were tigers hunting, wolves hunting, cows eating tigers and leopards, horses tearing wild wolves apart, and flowers and plants strangling birds and beasts.

Each of the more than five hundred Taoist disciples transformed into a living creature, fighting each other in a land that was about ten feet long, feasting on each other's flesh and blood, and grabbing each other's "spiritual energy" bound in the flesh and blood.

Such a scene fell in the eyes of Shan Yangzi and others, making them look interesting.

Shanyang Zigu looked at the ghosts, gods and Taoist officials standing around, and seemed to be teaching them, and said:

“The accumulation and flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth all exist in this scene.

When a living creature dies, its soul returns to heaven and earth, where it is polished by hundreds of millions of years and blended with the five elements to become aura.

The infinite spiritual energy between heaven and earth is originally nothing, but it has been accumulated for hundreds of millions of years, making it infinite. It can even be condensed into ore and crystallized underground, forming the foundation of a world.

In addition to swallowing up the spiritual energy that escapes between heaven and earth, thousands of creatures will also eat each other to seize the spiritual energy in the food and strengthen themselves.

In this way, the spiritual energy will be enriched step by step in the body of the powerful creature, increasing layer by layer, flowing erratically, like an iron chain or a net, interlocking one link with another, intertwining and feeding each other, thus making the spiritual energy stronger and stronger. of the finest quality. "

Shan Yangzi chuckled and suddenly said with emotion:

"Actually, Taoists like us are just a mere link in this food chain network."

When these words were spoken, the ghosts, gods, Taoist officials and others standing around heard it, and their expressions froze.
