Chapter 8
Taking advantage of the spare time in the afternoon, Chu Yao locked the door and sat quietly on the bed, trying to practice the art of survival.
Although the starting threshold for Cun Ling Jue is the foundation-building stage, the qi-refining stage should also be available for the method of how to leverage spiritual power.
But this time I was not as lucky as before, no matter how I comprehended my mind, there was no fluctuation in my body.
The current physical condition is not the same as when he was first caught on the spaceship.Although his cultivation base was sealed at that time, his spiritual power was still there, but now his dantian is empty.
Chu Yao knew that she had acted too hastily.How do I know whether Taoism can have the same effect as before in this unknown land far away from my homeland?
Furthermore, whether there is spiritual power here is another matter.
She had fallen into a mindset before, taking it for granted that this place was as pervasive as Fengyuanxing.But the actual situation is very likely that there is no spiritual energy here, and it is a bad land for cultivators.
For those monks who survived on the spaceship, getting rid of their inherent thinking and maintaining caution and reflection at all times may be the greatest wealth they have gained.
It is impossible for me to dig mines here for a lifetime, and I will always find a way to leave.The key to leaving is to restore your cultivation, so that you can get rid of the slave ring and resist those powerful heavenly weapons.
The key to recovering cultivation is spiritual power.To find a way to replenish spiritual power!
In addition to this, it is necessary to know more about everything in this world.
We have too little information.Now she is like a farmer who has just entered the city. She doesn't understand anything, and everything she sees is new.
Spaceships, golden lights, black mirrors, weapons... Only after thoroughly understanding what these powers are, will it be possible to control them in the future.
Having made up her mind, Chu Yao's mind also calmed down.
She suddenly thought of something, she jumped off the bed suddenly, stood there in a weird stance, and said the mantra in her mouth.
Not long after, the upper body felt a tingling and icy coldness through the body, and Chu Yao's face beamed with joy, knowing that he had succeeded.
This is exactly the "ghost trick" she tried on the spaceship. At that time, they were captive in the sky, and now they returned to the earth, and they succeeded in one fell swoop.
She has no cultivation base now, so she can't see the true form of the "ghost", but the familiar feeling of coldness is definitely not wrong.
The way of ghosts is extensive and profound. In a broad sense, ghosts in the world can be roughly divided into three types: heaven, earth and human:
Those who die but whose soul cannot enter reincarnation for some reason are called human ghosts; man-made things formed by condensing ghost energy with magic are called earth ghosts; ghost.
There is no distinction between these three ghosts.Since Gein has become a ghost, the three souls and seven souls must not be complete.In other words, there is self-awareness, but it is messy, and only a grievance or obsession can survive in the world.But if the obsession is too deep, or if you get some good fortune, you will turn into a ghost, which can consciously devour other ghosts to strengthen yourself, and even practice Taoism.
What Chu Yao called just now should be a kind of human and ghost.It's a pity that it can be summoned but not expelled, and it is useless without cultivation.
But this is also a very valuable attempt. The success of the technique at least shows that the Lingyuan star and the Fengyuan star are similar to a certain extent.
Since the method of summoning ghosts is feasible, there must be other side-by-side methods that do not require spiritual power.
Chu Yao's thoughts changed sharply, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.In the journey of cultivation, there are thousands of ways and methods, alchemy, making utensils, talisman arrays, and any one you pick out is complicated and vast.
Wait, the array...maybe it works!
Although she has dabbled in formations a little, she is not proficient.
But it's okay, she doesn't understand, and others understand.
Senior Sister Bai Yuejian, as the highest cultivator of the Tianyin Sect, apart from her strong strength, she also has made great achievements in the field of formations.For example, the protection array of Tianyin Sect has increased by as much as [-]% under her improvement.
Don't underestimate this success, the Tianyin sect's protective formation was created by the first suzerain, and it has stood with the sect for thousands of years, and those who can make improvements can be counted on one hand, which is enough to prove her attainments in formations .
Chu Yao got out of bed and ran to the hut where the senior sister was.
The residences of the two are not far away. Each room has a number, which is also their nameplate in this mine. Chu Yao's is 43, Bai Yuejian's is 49, and there are five huts in between.
Chu Yao knocked on the door, and when she heard the senior sister's greeting, she pushed the door open and walked in.As a result, the moment he stepped into the room, he saw a strong wind blowing in front of him, and he seemed to have walked into the fog!
In the next second, everything in front of her was back to normal, and the senior sister was sitting cross-legged on the bed and looking at Chu Yao with a smile.
"Senior Sister, this is..." Chu Yao's eyes lit up, and then he saw pieces of small gravel lying under his feet.
The crushed stones are arranged according to a certain pattern, either horizontally or vertically, orderly in chaos, and it looks like a small formation.
"Little Lost Formation." Senior Sister Bai said.
"I just wanted to ask about the formation. Senior sister, you have already started to try it. Apart from the small lost trace formation, how about other formations?"
The senior sister shook her head:
"I've also thought about some other basic formations, such as gathering spirits, clearing hearts... But none of them are as simple as the lost formation. Either you need specified materials, or you need spirit stones or communication spirits. These conditions are not available now It can’t be achieved. Small formations are still like this, let alone more powerful formations.”
"But I have other ideas. Since the Lost Formation works, maybe it can be improved..."
"I knew you, Senior Sister, are the best!"
"Come on less," the senior sister pinched Chu Yao's face with a smile, "Where are you?"
Chu Yao thought for a moment, and said something about the Cunling Jue.
There is nothing to hide about this, the Cunling Jue is very tasteless to her now, she might as well show it to her senior sister to study it, maybe they can make a breakthrough with their concerted efforts.
Now, as a prisoner and slave, isolated and helpless, having lost all cultivation and reduced to a mortal, it is the best policy to unite as one, and one more person will give more strength.
Moreover, she can trust her senior sister.Apart from the long-dead master and parents, the senior sister is the closest person in Chu Yao's world.
"This spirit-keeping technique seems plain and simple, but I always feel that there is another mystery between the words, and it is not as simple as it seems. Don't give up yet, it may come in handy in the future. But your method of summoning ghosts, please be careful Come and listen to me."
After Chu Yao explained it in detail, Senior Sister Bai's eyes became brighter the more she listened.
"Okay, okay. So, this little maze can add a lot of changes. I want to try."
The senior sister is good at everything, but as soon as she starts to study the formation, she forgets to eat and sleep, and turns upside down day and night.
Chu Yao stuck out her tongue, turned and walked out of the room.Then he rolled his eyes, and wandered around the prisoner's quarters.
She has never been the kind of ascetic monk who closed the door and retreated for a hundred years, let alone sit and wait for death.
Most of the prefab houses had their doors tightly closed, but there were also quite a few prisoners who came out of the room and gathered outside in twos and threes, chatting with each other.
Chu Yao hopped around, became familiar with all the people she met, occasionally went to interject a few words, and touched the number of roads in this place.
The other courtyard where the chief lived was on the west, the place where the prisoners were kept was on the east, the mine was on the north, and the gate was on the south.There is a guard tower in each of the three directions of east, south and west, and they are on duty day and night to monitor the four directions.
The prefab houses in the shelter are arranged longitudinally from north to south, with 240 rooms in each column, a total of 100 rooms in 240 columns. There are about [-] newly arrived slaves, plus those who have been imprisoned before, exactly [-] people.
"So we filled in the previous vacancy. So where did the original 100-odd people go?"
"Beauty, are you kidding us? What will happen to slaves!" A big man beat his chest and feet in front of Chu Yao, and kept saying things like "I was wronged by others".
"Okay, okay, I understand. So what can I do, you think I just want to come in? Please pray for yourself." The entangled person said impatiently.
"The best ending is to be bought away, and I have to pray that the one who bought me is a kind-hearted and good family. Don't escape with great difficulty. In the end, you are even worse than a miner."
"I don't want to be a mine slave..." Wronged Brother cried pear blossoms with rain.
"You said you are a big man, can you be stronger!"
"Be strong! In this world, wearing a slave ring is worse than a pig! Now there are porridge and biscuits serving us. In a few days, do you think that Zou will control us?"
Brother Wrong's words made everyone silent, many people looked confused and sighed again and again.
In such chatter, a huge civilization gradually unveiled its mysterious veil in front of Chu Yao.
In the vast and boundless sea of stars, there is a galaxy named "Dragon Land", and the Celestial Man is the master of Dragon Land.
The Celestials have established a brilliant civilization in the Dragon Land. They advocate the power of "technology", adventure and conquest.With the help of science and technology, they have created spaceships and warships that can soar in the universe, and continue to expand outward with overwhelming technology and weapons to expedition to the star sea.
The "Kukai" where everyone is now is a new galaxy discovered by the civilization of heaven and man.Because there are many planets and rich resources, they are planned as new development zones, and some companies are responsible for the development tasks of these planets.
These companies obey the orders of the higher-level "General Administration of Interstellar Exploitation Affairs", but they have great freedom in the management of the subordinate planets.In Lingyuan Star, Yali Company is the supreme king.
Everyone is equal in the civilization of heaven and man, that being said, except for one group of people, and that is slaves.
The moment you put on the slave ring, you are downgraded from a "person" to a slave, and become an "item" to be slaughtered.
Those who become slaves are either alien barbarians from the defeated star, or prisoners who have committed felonies. They have no human rights and can be bought at will. They either become laborers or playthings of the rich.
There is a proverb in Longdi: "It is better to be a ghost under the knife than to be a slave in the ring".
The meaning is very simple, that is, I would rather be hacked to death than become a slave and be fished by mermaids.It is enough to prove the tragic fate and cruel life of slaves.
After accepting too much information all at once, Chu Yao felt dizzy from hearing it, and only hated himself for not having spiritual power, otherwise it would be much more convenient to directly use the soul search technique.
"So this, this General Bureau of Interstellar Exploitation Affairs is the highest-ranking person among the Celestial Beings?"
"how is this possible."
Wrong brother saw that Chu Yao didn't understand anything, he only thought of her as a young alien barbarian, so he didn't spare his tongue
"The Interstellar General Administration is only responsible for development-related affairs. The highest level you mentioned should be the Grand Council."
"The Great House?"
Ah, my head is so itchy, as if my brain is about to grow.
"Well, it is divided into the upper house and the lower house. This is much more complicated to explain. Little sister, why don't you give me two cigarettes, and I will explain it to you carefully."
Chu Yao naturally understood what this person meant, and she had gradually become familiar with the situation here.
The common currency of the Celestials and Humans is a paper currency, with yuan as the unit.But in this mine shelter, money is of no use, cigarettes are the hard currency.
Prisoners trade cigarettes in private, in exchange for something useful to them, soap, cloth, and the like.
"Let's talk about it later, thank you, brother wronged."
Chu Yao hopped away, leaving behind a bewildered brother Wronged who scratched his head, why did he have an extra nickname?
She learned a lot today, and she needs to sort it out carefully, so she can tell her senior sister later.
She also knew what the so-called "flying sword's" meant. It was a derogatory term for a cultivator like herself. In the eyes of heaven and man, cultivators were all classified as barbarians, and they were corrupt and backward things.
Chu Yao was a little puzzled, feeling that something was wrong.
Since heaven and man do not practice, but only study technology, why are their technologies so aimed at practitioners?
