Text Chapter 19: Fate is hard to come by, the moon rises and the soul goes into the night
"Just give this talisman to the mortal," the City God said, the eyes of the metal mask on his face shining with light, like eyes, "I have something to remind you, if we and other gods touch the mortal world too much, It will inevitably interfere with cause and effect and fortune, but may bring misfortune and disaster to mortals.”
As they spoke, the talisman flew everywhere and was caught by Qiu Yan.
"I owe a lot of favors now, but now my clone is in deep crisis, but I can't let go of the opportunity to improve. As a result, she and I are both gods, and our luck is involved. This has planted the seeds of cause and effect. It cannot be erased easily. I wonder what the mystery is behind why Cheng Huang is so willing to help me."
Qiu Yan knew in his heart that the other party's efforts were just a means to win over, but the meaning of his words was also thought-provoking.
"The Liu family suffered a sudden misfortune. The timing was so coincidental. It was most likely caused by my god coming too close and disrupting the Liu family's own luck..."
As the saying goes, good luck and bad fate actually mean that you have received blessings that are beyond your own destiny. Qiu Yan is a god and is staying in the Liu family. However, the Liu family does not know it and neither worships nor treats them with courtesy. In addition, The family's fortune is poor, but it cannot bear it and bear it. On the contrary, it will shorten its fortune and shorten its life.
After thinking about this, Qiu Yan made a new decision in his heart.
"However, the current crisis must be resolved first, otherwise the clone will be entangled by cause and effect, making it difficult to break free, and it will be useless from now on."
Thinking of this, he said a few words, stood up, said goodbye to Yuanning City God, and left.
Time flies, and it’s night again in a blink of an eye.
After experiencing the events of the day, the Liu family were exhausted and had no intention of eating dinner. Qiu Yan's scholar clone made some remarks about reporting to the government from time to time, but Liu Huai stopped him. However, it also caught the ears of some lively neighbors, and he was inevitably ridiculed and called pedantic.
"Do you still want to report Pan's affairs to the official? Do you think you'll live too long?"
"I heard that the second master of the Pan family is an official in the capital. During the New Year and the festival, in Yuanning City, from the prefect to the county magistrate, who wouldn't go to Pan's house to say hello? Ordinary Cao officials are too embarrassed to come."
"This Qiu family has some reputation in Qingchang County, but it's not a good reputation. When I saw him today, he turned out to be a nerd and not understanding the world."
"In my opinion, he is not stupid, but he has no courage. He doesn't dare to really make trouble with the Pan family. He just talks about finding a step to go down and let him beat the drum and complain. Do you think he dares? "
Neighbors like to be lively, and when something like this happens, they will spread it from one person to another. Qiu Yan's words spread quickly.
"It would be best for everyone to think that I, Qiu Yan, am old-fashioned, timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but also bent on litigating."
After eating a few bites of food, Qiu Yan returned to the room, closed the door, left the window open, and then came to the table.
There is already an extra piece of talisman on the table - his god himself is advancing and retreating quickly and has returned.
"Listening to what the City God said, this talisman should be of great help in condensing the living soul. It is exactly what I need now. Pan Rongniang's body is still alive, but her soul is not in her body. After all, it is a hidden danger. Maybe she will die at some time. I am dying. This matter cannot be postponed and must be resolved as soon as possible. Fortunately, I finally have some confidence."
After the thought fell, Qiu Yan's scholar clone raised his hand, the tips of his fingers flickered with white light, and shot out a ray of divine power, which landed on the talisman paper.
This time I joined the priest of Yuanning City God and gained a lot. In addition to gaining a new legal position and laying the foundation for the advancement of the Shinto, I also gained a lot of divine power. There were more than a hundred stars, including the one stored in the clone body. The total number was close to one hundred and two, and he got out of the predicament in one fell swoop.
"However, the worship of the Kitchen God has not yet been established. Divine power can only be accumulated through the unconscious thoughts of the people in the city and the profit sharing of the entire god. Only one star can be gathered every day, so some savings must be made. But it’s so much better than the original, it’s a world of difference.”
While Qiu Yan was thinking, the talisman paper in his hand was ignited by divine power and turned into white flames, gathering in the air to form a talisman, glowing with white light, the same as what was depicted on the paper.
Waves of fluctuations surged out from it and fell into Qiu Yan's perception. A clear understanding emerged in his heart. He turned around and lay on the bed, calming his mind and meditating. The god in his body condensed the heavenly spirit and surged out.
The living soul leaves the body and enters the mysterious realm.
As soon as the soul came out, it twisted and struggled like a drowning person, but there was a mist surging in the soul, which caused memories to flow, turning into a series of beautiful articles, which spread all over the soul in an instant, and the twisted soul immediately stabilized. .
"The calming incense is indeed mysterious. The soul leaves the body, like a person or water. After being indulged, it disperses, but is stopped by the smoke. It's just that this second time the soul leaves the body, all the smoke has been used up. Next time You can only rely on yourself.”
It is difficult for the soul to leave the body.
Not even one person among a hundred people can succeed, but it is even more difficult to keep the soul alive after leaving the body. I don’t know how many people have lost their souls after leaving the body, and they are unable to return to their shells. In the end, their souls fly away.
Just like some people who sleep at night and occasionally channel spirits, dream that they are separated from the physical body and soar in the sky. In fact, it is the soul that has spontaneously left the body due to various reasons. Such people are generally people with extraordinary understanding, but If the soul cannot leave the house, it is still possible to return to the body, and it will inevitably leave sequelae in the future. However, if the soul flies far away, most of them are in sudden death dreams.
Qiu Yan's living soul was protected by the calming incense, which was considered safe, and he had already experienced it once. He was already familiar with it the second time. As soon as he came out of the body and stabilized, he turned his mind and the living soul began to float.
But he was just entering the state of awakening, and his soul was weak. Even if he was just floating, the air along the way was blocked, like a strong wind blowing over the surface, blowing the soul into distortion and change, and occasionally causing minor damage.
This is also a level. When ordinary people practice, even if they can leave their bodies, their souls will be suspended above their heads at the beginning, gradually adapting, and returning to their bodies when there are slight changes or wind and waves. How could they be like Qiu Yan, who tried to float for the second time? If it weren't for the remaining incense to protect him, his soul would be severely damaged.
"My divine power is now greatly increased. If I drive the divine power to cover the soul, combined with the remaining incense, it can be guaranteed to be safe. However, practice is inherently dangerous. The first step of leaving the body is already a trick. Now I have to try to achieve it quickly. If I use his power to eliminate the risks inside, I will have to surrender when I encounter a crisis that the gods themselves cannot protect in the future. So, I can't make a move now."
Thinking like this, the soul floated to the table and approached the luminous rune suspended in the air.
Then, without stopping, Qiu Yan's soul rushed forward and hit the rune. The rune was smashed and turned into strands of light, which wrapped around it and bound the soul in an instant, penetrating into it.
The next moment, an extremely comfortable feeling surged from the depths of the soul. The strands of light merged into Qiu Yan's soul like sweet spring water and spread rapidly.
Growing! Growing! Growing!
The weak soul grew rapidly. The edge that was about to be scattered by the air flow gradually solidified. The whole soul was originally transparent, but now it also glowed and revealed its shape, like a ball of water mist.
As the light spread and merged, the soul became more round and condensed, and the surface had a smooth texture.
To put it bluntly, the soul is a collection of a person's consciousness, thoughts, emotions, temperament, memory and other concepts. It is invisible and intangible. Except for the eyes of gods or the perception of people who have opened their minds, ordinary people can't see or feel it at all.
The reason why Qiu Yan's soul now shows texture and light is not because the soul itself has texture and light, but because of the light transformed by the rune.
As time goes by, the light gradually dims, and the soul becomes invisible again, but compared with just now, it is simply a world of difference.
The sense of freedom and pleasure filled every corner of the soul, making Qiu Yan feel free and unfettered.
The change of air flow has no effect on the soul. Qiu Yan's mind moved, and the soul flew up quickly, shuttling through the house. With another thought, the soul turned and passed through the gap of the window and came out of the house.
The moonlight is swaying, and the soul is transparent.
