06856-There are still steps before getting started

Fuqiu: "Eat it when you can't eat it. It will hurt your body and you won't be able to taste the deliciousness of the food. It is a waste of food. Why do you bother? Are you in a hurry to feed yourself?"

Spot: "I'll just smell it."

Me: "While you smell it, can you tell me what you perceive in that room?"

Spot was stunned for a while, as if he had forgotten about it, but after being reminded of it, his heartless demeanor of just wanting to eat just now returned to the frightened demeanor he had just fled the room.

Spot: "Actually... I didn't feel anything specific, I just felt... scared when I was in it. The last time I entered the house, I felt a little bit of this, but not as strong. Last time I was afraid, so I stole I tried my best not to make a sound when I was taking things, but if you still let me steal things this time, I probably wouldn’t dare to move them out at all. I don’t care about moving, I just want to run fast.”

Me: "Do you think there is a ghost in there? I heard that cats can see new dead ghosts, can you?"

Spot: "I've seen it in other places before, but I didn't see it in that house. If I could see it, I might not be afraid. The new dead are not scary, they are very weak. I can drive them away with my claws."

Maoqiu found out an entry-level exercise for cat demons and some related materials on the cultivation of cat spirits and beasts in the early stage of Qi training, and said to Spot, "From today onwards, I will teach you these."

The entry-level kung fu of demon cultivation is the same as that of ghost cultivation, because users themselves are unlikely to have the ability to buy books and pay for them, so they are not sold in bookstores.But when the pet industry developed, many pet lovers hoped that their pets could become smart fairies who could communicate with their owners, so they strongly applied for the entry-level skills of demon cultivation to be sold publicly in the mortal world.

The Demon League, which has been contacted many times by the mortal world officials, is very helpless: "The skills of our sect can only be used after becoming a demon. The ability of the human form can only be used in my cultivation method. Using this by ordinary beasts cannot make them become demons, and it has nothing to do with becoming spirits."

Demon League: "Becoming a demon and becoming a spirit, each individual is very different, and the available guidance materials have not yet been summarized. Now we can only affirm the abundant aura environment, continuous discussion or an atmosphere of academic discussion similar to the discussion , can increase the probability of becoming a demon and become a spirit, but this has nothing to do with the exercises. It is better for those who have pets to bring their pets to the school, library or research institute every day than to watch me send out the entry-level exercises."

The mortal world official expressed understanding, but: "Although there is no benefit, but if there is no harm in watching and learning from it, then please sell it."

Demon League: "If you insist on being so persistent, that's okay. You are authorized to sell it. At worst, read it as an interesting book. The pictures inside are quite beautiful."

Similar applications have also appeared for the entry-level ghost cultivation method.Some mortals, especially the elderly or seriously ill, hope that they can practice ghosts in fear of death, so they also invite the officials of the mortal world to negotiate with the Yinyangmen, the largest ghost cultivator in the cultivation world.

This is much more difficult than negotiating with the Demon League.Although demons and ghosts are different races from humans, at least it seems that demon cultivators are much more amiable than ghost cultivators if they don't know the inside story.Officials in the mortal world don't even dare to step into the territory of Yin-Yangmen. They even want to avoid video communication as much as possible, and want to only use text communication to get everything done.

The Yin Yang Sect’s rejection of this matter is similar to that of the Demon League: “Only after becoming a ghost can you practice the entry-level exercises of this sect. Even if a living person reads it, they can’t use it. Even if you think about it, write it down first, and use it immediately after death.” ’, that doesn’t work either. Because a living thing will only leave behind the most profound obsession at the moment of death, and other thoughts will be forgotten.”

Yin Yang Gate: "Even if the ghost's deepest obsession is to live, when it becomes a ghost, it only remembers that it wants to live, but it forgets how to live. If you don’t get up, the introductory exercises can help it cultivate ghosts, but it can only talk about wanting to live, but it can’t even remember what it is to live.”

Yin Yang Gate: "If the obsession is not deep enough, the soul will dissipate soon and cannot become a ghost; if the obsession is deep enough and no other guidance is needed, it will naturally become a ghost. After becoming a ghost, if they are willing to practice, they will come Find the Yin Yang Gate, and we will naturally give them exercises."

The official way of negotiating in the mortal world is also the same as it said to the Demon League: "Even if it is useless, as long as it is harmless to watch, you can let them watch it? It can be regarded as a comfort before death."

But the Yin Yang Sect is obviously not as good as the Yaomeng, and still refuses: "It's useless, and it can't be comforting. Becoming a ghost is not a continuation of a living person."

In the end, the Gate of Rebirth helped out by giving the mortal world an introductory teaching material for eliminating ghosts, and said: "A reverse understanding can barely be regarded as an introductory ghost cultivation. But please note that the weak little ghosts who have just formed are treated like rats crossing the street. Many Low-cultivation monks are deeply influenced by horror movies, and when they encounter ghosts, they will be frightened and run wild with spiritual power, and then get rid of ghosts. This kind of behavior is often out of rational control. Therefore, it is very dangerous to become a ghost."

So there are no official channels in the mortal world to sell introductory textbooks for ghost cultivation, but there are informal channels, some of which are genuine introductory textbooks for Yin Yang Gate, which are specially sold to rich people who are afraid of death, and the asking price is extremely high.

——We can’t blame the sellers for raising the price, they are selling against the opposition of Yin Yangmen, not only bear the risk of illegal publications, but also find themselves standing on the bedside in the middle of the night when they are selling. Twisted debt collector.A desperate deal.

06858 - See for yourself

Spot asked, "Must I learn?"

Fuqiu: "Don't you want to have more time to eat delicious food?"

Blob: "Learning will delay my current eating."

Mao Qiu: "You don't have the ability to eat without interruption. If you can cultivate to the golden core stage, then you can eat non-stop like Pei Bing."

Maoqiu: "Oh, right, you don't have to sleep during the golden elixir period, that is, you can still spend the time you would normally spend sleeping on eating."

Blob: "I like to sleep."

Fuqiu: "You can sleep if you want to. A high level of cultivation can reduce the proportion of doing things you don't like, and it won't affect doing things you like."

Spotted: "I'll think about it. Can I pick up the other cats now?"

Me: "While it is still dark, you and I will go into that room again."

Spot was a bit reluctant, but replied, "Okay. Then I'll pick up the cat after daylight."

Fuqiu: "Don't worry, we will all live in the Glory Orphanage recently, and we won't escape your labor rewards. When you pick up the cats, you can bring a gift to each of them."

Blob: "One cat, one can?"

Fuqiu: "Yes."

Spot: "Then I want ten cans."

Pei Jianzhuo: "We can accompany you to pick it up. Take a cat and give it a can."

Blob: "Oh. Good. You decide."

I restrained my spiritual power as much as possible, and moved closer to the mortals as much as possible, then climbed up to the third floor with Spot, and got into the broken window—after I restrained my spiritual power, my physical strength still ensured that I could easily climb the stairs.

The moment I got into the broken window, I seemed to perceive something, but in order to suppress the manifestation of spiritual power, I couldn't distinguish it carefully, so I could only write it down first, and at the same time, I went into the house to look around.

It does feel like being watched.

I knelt down and whispered to Spot, "Do you feel the same now as when you came here alone?"

Spot: "This time it's not as scary as last time. Last time it was like I was about to have my throat bitten off, but this time I was just being watched."

Is that... is it because the things that spy on us are sure to kill cats, but not mortals?Or has it already seen through that I am a monk?

I went around in every room, especially looking around the broken chair where the stolen thing was placed before.When I looked at the chair, the feeling of being peeped was more obvious, but on the premise of not using my spiritual power, I never found the source of the peeping, as if there were sources in all directions.

There are signs of movement near the chair.Spot explained: "This should be left when I stole something. I still remember this position. At that time, the thing was too hard to hold. When I moved it here, it slipped several times. It turned several times. Then Only then did I find a suitable force method. Afterwards, the handling will be smoother."

The traces of transportation from the chair to the circle trace are fairly clear, but they are evenly covered by dust, and after the circle trace to the broken window, it seems to have been wiped by an external force.

After I stared at the circle trace for a long time, I seemed to see a pair of malicious eyes in the trace, but in the blink of an eye, the eyes disappeared again, as if it was my illusion, but it can be proved that it is not an illusion The clue is: when the eyes disappear, the sense of peeping that has been present since entering the house also disappears.

Then Xiao Sui was detained with a plume of black smoke.

Xiao Sui: "It got on the master, so I easily..."

Pei Bing: "It looks so unpalatable."

Pei Jianzhuo: "It's a bit like a curse, but it's very clumsy. Could it be a curse used by demons?"

I purposely suppressed my spiritual power and came in here just to investigate the inside of the house quietly, but now is it meant to crack it by accident?

Pei Jianzhuo: "On the bright side, if you don't suppress your spiritual power and come in directly, maybe the source of prying eyes will run away, and won't dare to show your eyes to you, let alone touch you, then we won't be able to catch you." to this captive."

Xiao Sui: "What needs to be determined now is: Is this wisp of black smoke all the power possessed by the peeping sight, or is it just a probing striker?"

The hairball scratched its paw on the black smoke, the black smoke split open, and then seemed to have an attempt to heal, but it trembled for a long time and failed to heal, just maintaining the appearance of being scratched and cracked, completely unable to see the free change of the smoke shape ability.

Xiao Sui: "Don't grab it randomly, it's very weak, how can we study it after you catch it and disappear? This is a captive that the master has taken so hard and wronged to suppress the spiritual power."

Uh... It's not very hard and wronged, I just tried my ability to suppress spiritual power.The test results showed that it was not very good, so as soon as I entered the room, my eyes ignored the spots and focused on me.

Pei Jianzhuo: "Maybe it's suppressed too well, so that it is easier to bully than a cat? If this is really something like a demon, it must be picking a weak persimmon. The demon does not have the heart to face difficulties."

Fuqiu: "Maybe it's weak and delicious? The external feeling is that it has no self-protection ability like a mortal cat, but also has more aura and deliciousness than a mortal cat?"

is it?
