04900-It's a beautiful thing

Afterwards, the scholar really had outstanding achievements in political affairs and was promoted step by step. With a liar and a demon cultivator, he lived a smooth life.The liar helped him see through the conspiracy, and the demon cultivator helped him break through the assassination until he died.

Shao Gangming watched the scholar die, and then the liar passed away, and then he left the mortal world by himself, and formally entered the Demon League that had made him a nominal disciple for many years.It is indeed rare for mortals to raise spirit treasures, but it is not uncommon to raise spirit monsters and demons.

The parrot demon Bingsu, the hamster demon Su Yuan, the portrait demon Shao Gangming...

Hao Ting: "But as a demon, it feels very independent and no longer belongs to me. Jing... At least in the initial stage, it can still be my property?"

Shao Gangming: "It depends on the situation. Some elves are very stupid when they are born. Although they don't need your care, they don't want to move, so they will always stay by your side. Relatively speaking, monsters are happy to run around as soon as they can take shape. , not necessarily willing to guard you who raised them."

Shao Gangming: "However, it is not so absolute. If the body has a fixed master before it transforms into a demon, and it has been fixed for at least a dozen or so decades, then the demon after transforming is willing to continue to accompany this master until the master dies." For this kind of monsters, the mortal world has a special attraction, it is their root, and life in the mortal world can bring them a lot of cultivation insights, so even after the person who raised them dies, these monsters will I often go to the mortal world to find more opportunities that suit me."

Hao Ting: "Will the demon be sad when the master dies? Or will he feel relieved?"

Shao Gangming: "It's a little sad, but it won't be sad, because the monsters who are separated like this have long been mentally prepared. They have been preparing since the monsters knew the upper limit of the lifespan of mortals and demons who can cultivate. The first thing to know is the lifespan of mortals. It is far less shocking and sad than when you were a demon, but because the mortals who raised you when you first learned about it are often not considered old, so the sadness is not so urgent, and the shock is much more. After that, it will take decades to slowly digest this. information, and finally accepted it.”

Shao Gangming: "As for liberation, there is no such thing. Because the mortal master has never bound the demon. From the moment the demon transforms into the demon, the demon can leave the mortal at any time and go wherever he wants. He stays with the mortal only because the demon is willing to be a mortal." When death is used to forcibly terminate the relationship with each other, it is naturally impossible to be relieved."

Hao Ting: "Then, after the death of the master for many, many years, will the demon still think of the master?"

Shao Gangming: "Yes."

Hao Ting: "How does it feel when you think about it?"

Shao Gangming: "It's a good memory, I can't help but smile, and I feel a little regretful that the master didn't live longer and couldn't create more memories. However, it's all fate. Sometimes demons will walk in the world, looking for people similar to the master , It may be the similarity in appearance, or the similarity in soul breath, as long as you find it, you will feel... Maybe there is a new fate, it may belong to me, or it may not belong to me, but it is a very beautiful thing. "

04901-To expect, but also to accept that expectations fail

Hao Ting: "Is it the same for Jing?"

Shao Gangming: "It's all like this. Usually, whoever you treat well will give you back. Just like children and mothers have a natural sense of intimacy, demons and spirits and Lingbao also treat the people who raised them. There is a natural liking, and the degree of liking is often deeper, because human beings are pregnant for less than a year, but it takes thousands of years to raise monsters, spirits, and spirit treasures. In such a long time, the feelings continue to accumulate , will become a deep attachment."

Hao Ting: "Shouldn't I deliberately look for ways to raise demons or spirits or spirit treasures? If it's too deliberate, it doesn't look like fate?"

Shao Gangming: "It doesn't matter. The point is not whether your superficial consciousness is deliberate, but whether this idea is rooted in your deep consciousness and whether it has become your instinct."

Shao Gangming: "You can think very hard and deliberately, but at the same time you must leave a little room. You must be mentally prepared: your efforts and expectations may be fruitless. Because you are working hard and looking forward to something you I don’t know the things that are feasible to achieve. That is to say, you may work in the wrong direction, and the wrong direction will not get the correct result, and the harder you work, the farther away you may be from your goal.”

Shao Gangming: "Look forward to it, but also be able to accept that expectations fail."

Hao Ting: "Yes, senior, I understand."

Shao Gangming: "If you raise a demon, you can let it apply for our Demon League; if it is not suitable for the Demon League, then it is probably suitable for the Demon Cultivation Guild. Anyway, you don't have to worry about its whereabouts after you die. Just enjoy being with it while you're alive."

Shao Gangming: "If you raise Jing or Lingbao, it's a little troublesome, because these two groups have no obvious gathering places, and they live in a very scattered way. Jing is better, just find a place with plenty of spiritual energy. If the main body is a rag doll, there are no precious resources that will be robbed, so there is basically no danger; but for the Lingbao, the main body is not important anymore, it depends on its skills, if the skills are too eye-catching, it may cause death."

Shao Gangming: "But you don't need to be nervous, the possibility of mortals raising spirit treasures is too low. You can count the examples of demons and spirits born around mortals at random, but spirit treasures may be because I am ignorant and I don't know much about them. never heard of that."

Hao Ting: "Is there a theoretical basis for this low possibility?"

Shao Gangming: "It is possible. The formation of monsters and spirits is partly due to the response to the expectations of the master, but most of them are because they have the potential to become demons and spirits. That is, even without the master, they still have a lot of potential. It can be said that their innate aptitude is particularly good, and the existence of their masters mostly only accelerates their transformation, rather than determines whether they can transform."

04902-Remember the original intention

Shao Gangming: "Except for the kind of spiritual treasures that are born from the heavens and the earth and recognize the heavens and the earth as their masters, most of the other spirit treasures need to rely on the 'master'. For monsters and spirits, the concept of 'master' is only verbal, unless the soul is bound later. Otherwise, it depends on the mood of the demon and the spirit whether to call it the master or not. The word "master" has no practical meaning in the terms of the demon and the spirit, but the "master" of the Lingbao really reflects the subordinate relationship, and the Lingbao is attached to the master. born."

Shao Gangming: "So the birth of Lingbao is more difficult, takes longer, and is more insulated from mortals. Mortals have no spiritual power, and the birth of spirit treasures requires spiritual power, so normally, mortals cannot support the birth of Lingbao. life."

Hao Ting: "Are there any exceptions? I seem to have read...something like soul sacrifice in the sandbox? Is it one of the birth methods of Lingbao?"

Shao Gangming: "That place in Shazhuan really dares to say anything. Yes, there is... Don't try it. If you try it after being confirmed by me, I will pay joint and several responsibilities. If you give me a demon because of it , My cultivation might be wasted on you."

Hao Ting: "No, I'll just listen to it, and listen to it right after the meal. I always watch Sha Zhuan during meals, and Sha Zhuan's quarrels are especially served with dinner."

Shao Gangming: "Don't lie to me. The reason why I said it's best to talk to you face to face is because I want to watch your expression to prevent you from taking risks."

Hao Ting: "I promise not. I want to raise spirits, demons, and spirit treasures to get along with them. If I use my soul to raise them, wouldn't it be equivalent to my death when they are born? That goes against my original goal, and I won't Did that. Definitely not."

Shao Gangming: "Very well, remember your original intention."

Hao Ting: "Never forget."

Shao Gangming: "Okay, then let me tell you a little bit about soul sacrifice. In fact, you can understand it literally, that is, you pour your soul into the utensil and become the soul of the utensil, that is, let your soul Become the artifact spirit of that artifact, and then the artifact becomes a spirit treasure."

Shao Gangming: "It's easy to say, but the operating conditions are very harsh. For example, obviously, how do you control your soul to enter the utensil? It's not just passing through the utensil and it's over, it's about melting into the utensil. Don't say you are a mortal. , I can’t guarantee that I can do it in the Nascent Soul stage, I can’t control my soul to this level, maybe I can have a higher degree of confidence in the transformation stage.”

04903 - don't do stupid things

Hao Ting: "I heard that there are still cases of being sacrificed forcibly by others?"

Shao Gangming: "Which post is dangerous, what are you staring at?"

Hao Ting: "It's just a coincidence. I read at most two or three high-rise posts for a meal, and the content and title of Shazhuan's posts are often irrelevant. I just read what I encounter. I don't have much choice. Really dangerous posts have access permissions, and I can't get in. As long as the posts have a little threshold, I can't get in. After all, I am a mortal, and I have the lowest permissions in Shazhuan. The low-level good people, I can only pick up some leftovers to eat."

Shao Gangming: "How many times does Shazhuan think of setting access conditions for posts just because the topic is dangerous? Both sides of the quarrel often don't know what they are arguing about."

Shao Gangming: "Okay, you are a smart person, don't do stupid things, and don't be fooled by your cleverness. It's the same sentence, raising demons, spirits, and spirit treasures is like raising children. It's not that you try to make children become They will become what they are, but what kind of world you let the children see and what kind of people they will become. Precepts, teaching by example, and teaching by example are more important."

Shao Gangming: "If you always have warmth and kindness towards their birth, they will give you back warmth and kindness when they are born; on the other hand, if you always feel anxious and ruthless when you think of them, they will And I won’t be willing to get along with you, even if I barely get along, you and them will only hurt each other.”

Hao Ting: "Yes."

Shao Gangming: "To sum it up: if it's a demon, you can bring it to the Demon League; if it's a spirit or a spirit treasure, if you don't have anyone or place to entrust, then you can find Pei Lin. Pei Lin may not take care of it personally, but I will definitely be able to find a suitable place for your child to live in. The young master has a special fate in the inhuman aspect, which is definitely more effective than your seeking help in the sand college."

Hao Ting: "Actually, it is still effective to ask for help in the sand college. Although everyone in the sand league often quarrels, they have already worked out a balance. They can definitely rely on business matters, life and death related matters."

Shao Gangming: "It's a serious matter to raise little ghosts and little spirit treasures? Lingbao may cause looting, and the spirit treasure may be robbed to pieces; if the spirit monster is stronger, it may be thrown in any corner with aura, enough for little spirits to survive. "
