Pastor's Tantra

Aleister reached out his hands, and slowly grasped the girl's spirit body with his hands that had been wiped with the Harmony Spirit Ointment.

As the bottom of her pupils reflected waves of faint purple light, the power of transcendence diffused between Aleister's hands, gathering into a group of glow and forming a faint nebula.

She carefully picked up the spirit body and put it back on the girl's original body.

Aleister had to be very careful - because her current power was too strong, even with the isolation of the Harmony Spirit Ointment, it was difficult to completely avoid hurting her spirit body. And even so, her spirit body curled up... like grabbing a ball of plastic bags in a windy place.

When the spirit body almost overlapped with the body, it also slowly unfolded like soaked seaweed. But it could never completely overlap with the body, and the boundary of the edge was always blurred.

"Give me a gold coin."

Aleister called to the mirror demon: "The gold coin needs to be used for a longer time."

She no longer asked whether the mirror demon was still there - but directly gave orders.

And the mirror demon was very adaptable.

A golden light suddenly flashed in front of Aleister, accompanied by a low voice: "This is an ancient coin from the Helasar Empire, and it has been six hundred years since the coin was minted. If it is not enough, I can look for it somewhere else..."

"Ah, it is enough."

As he said, Aleister put the gold coin on the forehead of the lady and tapped it gently.

Then, Aleister stretched out his hand and made a knife with his fingers, cutting in four directions in the void. Then, she made the action of dipping her fingertips in water and then sprinkling water, doing it four times in a row, and flicking it on the girl's hands and feet respectively.

This should have been to hit the gold coin with a silver nail as an anchor. Then use the silver ritual knife burned by incense to cut out a sacred space in all directions that is invulnerable to souls. Then use your fingers to dip into the sanctified water or salt to anchor the soul with its sacred pressure.

But for Aleister, who is free of ritual materials, she only needs this method to perfectly complete most rituals directly.

The principle of this material-free method is that her soul is a kind of "universal material". Therefore, as long as she participates in the ritual as a ritualist, she can automatically meet most of the compatibility required by the ritual. Only rituals of a higher level will require additional symbols to make up for the compatibility.

The essence of the ritual is to meet the compatibility.

Because from the perspective of the dream world, everything in the material world is a state of nothingness, and if you want to enter the dream world, you must exclude the material. And the information contained in the material is extremely complex...

From the perspective of "instrument for wounding people", there is no difference between a pistol and a dagger; and from the perspective of "object for cutting", the essence of a mirror and a dagger is the same; from the perspective of "premeditated crime", a bottle of poison and a dagger have the same meaning.

Based on this principle, in fact, many rituals that originally required large-scale, expensive and complex materials can be obtained through continuous "simplification of formulas" to obtain a minimum cost.

This is the essence of "ritual studies".

The original ritual is a basic rule of equivalent exchange, exchanging things in the material world for things in the dream world. Through ritual studies, the miracle of exchanging less for more can be achieved... and the supporter behind this miracle is none other than the Snake Father, one of the Pillar Gods.

With the signature of the Snake Father, this "tricky way" that should not exist in theory has become a formal "technology".

Because of this, the core extraordinary skill of the Way of Transcendence is ritual.

To the honey badger, all this seems so inexplicable. But the fluctuations of the energy of the Way in the air let her know that the ritual has begun.

Aleister glanced at the honey badger and began to explain:

"I first suppressed her soul with the 'circulating wealth'.

"In some local legends, there is a saying that 'the souls of the deceased also need Yin wealth'. The basis of this saying is that 'wealth' can have an impact on the soul itself. Because 'trading' is the behavior of the Way of Balance, and the Way of Balance also includes the balance of the Yin and Yang worlds, so from the perspective of ritual studies, the behavior of 'trading' can easily open up the balance of the Yin and Yang worlds.

"Demons existed long before demonologists were born. When people desire the power of imbalance, they will attract demons because of their strong transcendent souls and sign contracts with demons... This is also a kind of transaction. Similarly, some people will trade with the dead. Among the various concepts of "wealth", the longer the circulation and the higher the recognized value of wealth, the more "pressure" it has.

"Then, I used holy water and holy salt to purify her hands and feet. Weakened her soul so that she could touch the sky and step on the earth... In this way, part of her spirit was suppressed into her body. "

"...Ah?"

The honey badger was a little confused: "But when did you use holy water and holy salt..."

She obviously didn't understand the rare Taoist feature of ritual exemption materials.

Aleister crawled to the girl's ear and whispered: "Make a fist. "

The next moment, the girl clenched her fists suddenly.

Although she still couldn't fully control her body, the feeling in her hands and feet had been restored. She could hear Aleister's voice and knew that she wanted to save her, so she clenched her fists with all her strength without hesitation.

But it was difficult to clench her fist completely - just like she had slept for a long time and her fist was weak. Her soul had been away from her body for too long. If she could return to her body within a few seconds, she would not even need to use wealth to calm her soul and could just put it back. But once the temperature of the soul cools down, it will be difficult to sew it back.

"Keep your fist clenched, dear. Don't let go."

Aleister chuckled and threatened: "If you let go, you may never be able to go back again, okay?"

Hearing Aleister's words, the girl sweated a little on her forehead.

Even though she couldn't clench her fist at all, she tried her best to clench her fist.

And this process was actually Aleister trying to make her concentrate - this was actually "actively matching the soul with the body". In fact, it would be fine if she loosened her fist, but it was more convenient for Aleister to operate this way.

Then, Aleister stretched out his fingers again and tapped the gold coin gently.

"Soul, come back..."

Aleister whispered the Taichu language in a low voice.

This time, the knocking did not make any sound, but there was a solemn invisible wave spreading around.

"Soul, come back from the underworld..."

Aleister switched to the Herasl language again.

She knocked the gold coin for the second time, and the invisible wave became stronger - it made the honey badger feel a faint toothache and the bones creaked.

"Soul of the dead, obey my call..."

Aleister switched to the soft and jumping Elvish again.

She knocked the gold coin for the third time, and a visible storm rolled up from the room - the pages of the book in the room rustled, the windows opened and closed suddenly, and the ornaments in the box jumped spontaneously. But only the small piece of sacred space that Aleister cut out at the beginning did not react.

This is a spiritual phenomenon. It means that the nearby spirits have resumed their activity and recovered a brief consciousness from the eternal stagnation of the Dusk Road.

These three calls can be made in any language, because they are just warm-ups.

And the real resurrection needs to be in the Parthian language - this is also the root of the name of the Parthian Empire.

They mastered the techniques of resurrection and rest.

Suddenly, Aleister changed into the resting language and briefly turned into the male image of Aiwas.

The first half of the resurrection ceremony requires the use of the female body to guide the soul, and the second half requires the use of the male body to dispel the adverse effects of the Dusk Path on the body. Normally, this should be completed by at least two ritual priests, but for Aleister, who can change size at will, she can do it alone.

She slowly said in the majestic, sunny, and clear voice of Aiwas in the form of the Pope:

"-I order you to return to the world."

As she said this, she pressed down the gold coin hard. Then she suddenly opened it.

In an instant--

As the girl's fists were completely clenched, her eyes suddenly opened!

"This is a miracle of resurrection from the dead!"

The honey badger's pupils trembled when he saw this scene.
