Reincarnation: Begins with the life of a black-energy immortal boy

Chapter 10: Choosing the Godhead and the Perfection of the Body
In particular, many gods have an evil side, and if that is aroused, then we are doomed.

"Don't let your imagination run wild, kid. The two souls of heaven and earth are the safest and most reliable support." Xia Liuqing shook his head. This young man just has too many ideas.

"You've been traveling for such a long time. You should take a rest today. You will start learning from me formally from tomorrow."

"Yes, Master." Zhou Ming nodded, feeling a little excited.

Although he now has three methods, the magic weapon derived from the life of the fairy boy, the dark killer, and the locust stone.

But except for the Locust Stone, which is a relatively complete inheritance, there is no ready-made way to improve the others.

However, the inheritance of the Locust Stone is far inferior to that of the Divine Mask, both in terms of completeness and comprehensiveness.

Xia Liuqing brought Zhou Ming to a spacious room, which would be Zhou Ming's house from now on.

"Oh! I'm really old. My back and waist ache. I'm going to have a rest." Xia Qing patted his back and left.

Zhou Ming opened the room and a one-bedroom and one-living room layout appeared before him, decorated in the style of a homestay.

Everything was available and Zhou Ming didn't need to prepare anything. He walked out and took a look around. He found that the yard was really quite large.

I returned to the room, sat cross-legged and began to practice.

The next day, probably because the environment was unfamiliar, I woke up early.

"You got up pretty early, here you go." Xia Liuqing saw Zhou Ming, took out a stack of books and handed them to him.

Zhou Ming reached out to take it, looked at it, and his brows jumped.

"Self-cultivation of Actors", "The Art of Performance", "Respect for the Art of Performance", "Six Lectures on Acting", "Mask of Godhead"

Although I had guessed it in my mind, I was still a little surprised when it really started.

Before learning the divine mask, Zhou Ming first learned acting and singing.

A lot of time is spent every day learning acting, especially the experiential approach, allowing oneself to completely immerse oneself in the role.

This is the same as the original intention of the divine mask, which is to act with your life until others believe it and you believe it yourself.

Occasionally, you also have to engage in role-playing to experience the mystery involved.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Zhou Ming came back from outside, and this time, he ran to a nearby film crew to experience it for himself.

"You're back." Xia Liuqing sat at the table, looked at Zhou Ming with a smile, and pointed at the tea beside him.

Xia Liuqing was very satisfied with this disciple. His talent for cultivation was visible to the naked eye and his progress was ideal.

Zhou Ming walked to the side, picked up the tea, drank it in one gulp, and finally sat down and said, "Master, I really didn't expect that our method of learning is so modern?"

"The real training has not yet begun. Now you are just practicing your skills, otherwise you won't be able to succeed in even the first step." Xia Liuqing's old voice sounded.

Zhou Ming also studied the secret manual of the divine mask many times and knew the steps clearly.

The first step is to gather faith, and the second step is to act until you believe in it and shape the godhead, both of which require performance.

Only after the godhood is formed, there is no need to perform the task of collecting the power of faith.

"It's been a few months now. Have you decided on the two godheads to be entrusted to?" Xia Liuqing put down the teacup in his hand, turned around and asked.

"I've thought about it, Erlang Shen and Nezha." Zhou Ming said.

"These two great gods? Which side are you going to play?" Xia Liuqing frowned and asked.

"Erlang Shen who split the mountain to save his mother, and Prince Nezha who is a great immortal." Zhou Ming said firmly. This was a choice he had carefully considered.

"Rebellion against my uncle, Erlang Shen holding the Axe of Creation."

"Correct!"

"The three-headed, nine-eyed, eight-armed Nezha who rebelled against his father and slew all the demons in the world."

"Yes!" Zhou Ming nodded. Xia Liuqing looked at Zhou Ming, patted his forehead with his hand, and said with a grin, "This is truly a lawless combination."

The gods in mythology are multifaceted, and each side represents a different personality, ability, or even core stance.

This is because the stories about gods and spirits have evolved over a long period of time, with many changes and even combinations of different stories.

Although the divine mask is magical, it is impossible to interpret all the many facets of a god, so only one side can be chosen to interpret.

There are many versions of Erlang Shen. The version in which he splits the mountain to save his mother is about resisting theocracy, which is absolutely the most crucial point.

No matter which version of Nezha, whether good or evil, one thing has not changed, that is, he resists patriarchy.

Among the ten most heinous crimes in ancient times, two were related to patriarchy.

The father's authority is supreme in the family, which is related to the social structure of ancient society.

Because patriarchy is a derivative of monarchy, the emperor is also called the monarch and the people of the world are called the people.

Resisting patriarchy is actually resisting royal authority.

That's why Xia Liuqing said that this is a lawless group.

"Now that you have made your choice, let's start the next practice." Xia Liuqing said.

"I have formed a small opera troupe. We will go to the countryside in a few days. We may be on the road for one or two years."

In this era, if you want to collect faith, especially through singing opera, it is easier to go to the countryside.

After talking for a while and asking some questions about recent cultivation, Zhou Ming returned to his room to practice.

Xia Liuqing took out a booklet from the side and handed it to Zhou Ming.

"This is the Atlas of Gods. Page 72 and page are Erlang Shen and Nezha respectively. Study them carefully these days."

"Okay." Zhou Ming listened and Xia Liuqing nodded.

I followed the instructions and flipped through the pages, and a picture similar to the visualization of the heart lake appeared before my eyes.

If you look closely, you'll be drawn into it.

This should be the means to assist in the cultivation of the divine mask, Xia Liuqing's most precious treasure.

This continued for a long time, until even the sky darkened.

"I've gained a lot!" Zhou Ming sighed as he stood there.

He stretched out his left hand, and milky white Qi emerged. It was obviously different from a few months ago and became thicker.

The Qi floated up lightly, extremely flexible and moving continuously, just like water.

The heavy feeling made the Qi condense, and when the three became one, the loose Qi instantly condensed into a fist-sized ball.

Like a bead, it floats in the palm of your hand, giving you a sense of substance.

“Light, soft and heavy, the three are perfect and finally integrated into one, all thanks to Erlang Shen’s magical map.” Zhou Ming smiled and sighed.

In Erlang Shen's divine map, he felt the softness of water, the heaviness of rocks, and the lightness of the wind.

At that moment, his mind suddenly opened up, and he grasped the fusion of these three artistic conceptions. He finally cultivated the body qi, which is the most important of the four qi of the locust stone.

He returned to his room, took out the secret book of the Locust Stone, and opened it to the Four Qi and Three Forms.

After successfully practicing the basic Qi of the body, you can then practice the remaining three Qi and three forms.

"The collection of the three energies of fire, earth and gold cannot be rushed, and can only be done bit by bit. However, the three forms of birds, beasts and fish are much simpler."

All that is needed is to collect the souls of the three kinds of animals just after they died, integrate them into the beads that Zhou Ming just condensed, and refine them in a specific way.

"Among birds, beasts and fish, it is better to choose the more ferocious ones." Zhou Ming looked up at the darkness outside the window.
