1376_ blurred boundaries

I missed a game, and I picked another one: the bird spirit beast competition during the Qi training period.

The reason I chose it was that a parrot also signed up successfully in a daze.The parrot I know used to be named Xiaohong, but now it is called Caiye, and it registered under the name Rainbow.

This broken parrot has a serious tendency to become a monster, but it can still be brought back to the level of demon cultivation, but whether it can be pulled back or not, it will definitely not be able to be a spirit beast peacefully, that is, it does not meet the requirements The registration requirements for this competition, so why can it be successfully registered?

Because the cultivator in charge of the registration didn't recognize that it wasn't a spirit beast...

Don't laugh, it's normal.Spiritual beasts, demon cultivators, and monster beasts, although the monks have given these three completely different attitudes, but in fact, many monks can't grasp the boundaries between the three very accurately. This is not their fault, because this boundary line It's rather vague in itself.

The current general judgment standard is that if the cultivation method has nothing to do with human cultivation methods, it is a spirit beast; if it can transform into a human form and practice in the human form, it is a demon cultivator; The cultivation methods of spirit beasts are mixed, no matter whether the mixture conflicts or not, and the one who only improves the independent skills mainly focusing on attack power is the monster.

However, some of human's exercises originally borrowed from the cultivation methods of spirit beasts, and the cultivation methods of demon cultivators also mixed their instinctive cultivation methods when they were not in human form. Match with the cultivation methods of the two, adjust the contradictions between the two, and form a new cultivation method that does not cause burden and harm to oneself-this kind of cultivation method may be used by human monks after further adjustment

Therefore, it is difficult to grasp the boundaries between spirit beasts, demon cultivators, and monster beasts by means of cultivation.Besides, if outsiders are not closely related, it is difficult to find out the cultivation methods of other monks or spirit beasts or monsters without coercion. Therefore, the operability of this judgment standard is not strong, and it is actually difficult to judge accurately in practice. of.Not to mention mistaking monsters for spirit beasts, there are many demon cultivators who are regarded as spirit beasts when they transform into animal forms.

Another common way to judge is to look at what it does: monsters tend to go crazy, and the behavior style of monster cultivators is very close to that of human monks. Spirit beasts stick to themselves and are not attached to the standards of human cultivation.However, since most monks are independent and have great individual differences, it is obvious that this method of judgment is actually not accurate.

1377_chaotic balance

Demons' spiritual power disorder is seriously manifested, which can be seen at a glance, and monster beasts, although their spiritual power is also disordered, actually do not necessarily manifest this disorder when they are dormant.Beasts instinctively camouflage, and it is precisely because monsters cannot let go of the convenience of being spirit beasts that they have not completely entered the road of demon cultivation, so some monsters have better camouflage ability than ordinary monsters—but let’s start. Now, the chaotic state of the monster is easy to identify.

In addition, when demons become evil at a low cultivation level, their cultivation will stop at the low cultivation level, and eventually die at the low cultivation level after a short life; and monsters, although compared to monks with the same cultivation level , life is also very short, but they have room for upgrading, but the higher the cultivation base, the more serious their chaotic state, and the imbalance in the body will become more and more unbalanced until they explode.

Monsters and demons are the same, there are basically no examples of dying, and they all die miserably and abruptly.

Whether monsters can be upgraded depends on whether they can maintain a chaotic balance.It's like walking a tightrope. After the body loses balance and before falling off the wire, there is still a transient state in which it swings on the wire with messy postures and cannot fall temporarily. The monster is actually in this transient state, but The balance instinct of monsters is much better than that of humans. They can extend the transient, even very long, and continue to walk along the wire while extending.It's amazing to say the least.

Evil spirits must harm others while harming themselves, while monsters do not necessarily harm the surroundings in addition to harming themselves.Of course, monsters are prone to rage, indiscriminate killing, and wanton destruction, but they don't want to benefit from such destructive behavior, but just can't control themselves, that is, their destruction is irrational, and there is no plan, no Going to plunder resources will not waste resources subjectively, which is qualitatively different from demons.

Therefore, monks have basically zero tolerance for demons, and they seriously despise them, but for monsters, they are actually more of a vigilance against dangerous elements.It can be said that for monks, monsters are enemies that need to be treated with caution, while demons are just garbage that is swept away casually.

The higher the cultivation level of monsters, the more obvious their disordered state, and the easier it is to distinguish them from spirit beasts and monsters. However, at low cultivation levels, especially in the stage of Qi training, the form of power is still in its infancy. The characteristics of each species are not obvious enough, not to mention asking monks of the same Qi training period to distinguish them. Even some high-level monks may not be confused if they don't care about the classification standards of species.

——Some monks only consider whether it is threatening or non-threatening, whether it is beneficial or harmless to kill, or there will be sequelae after killing, or it is a waste of effort to kill.Demons belong to those who can’t be seen, but when they see them, they are so disgusting that they want to be trampled to death, which is beneficial and harmless; even if they are not threatening now, monsters are dangerous when they grow up, but it cannot be ruled out at some point We can still cooperate.

Far away, the parrot rainbow is between the monster beast and the demon cultivator. If you be good, don't teleport things or become invisible. Because of its low cultivation level, the nature of its spiritual power is relatively easy to deceive people, and it can pretend to be a spirit beast.This competition of birds and beasts during the qi training period was organized by a third-rate sect. The main tasks were the disciples of the qi training period, and the person in charge of the competition was only in the foundation building period, so some guys were given loopholes to take advantage of.

The parrot Rainbow's registration competition included hunting events, in which hamsters were prepared as prey—this was the reason why Parrot Rainbow registered—and among the prey hamsters, a demon cultivator was included.The reason why I use "only" as a quantifier is because this fellow daoist in the foundation period of the Demon League has turned into his original form and mixed with the spirit beast hamsters that will be used to compete hunting skills for birds and spirit beasts.

I know this hamster demon cultivator. Although this is the first time I have seen his original form, when I was looking for someone to study the huge mutant fireball lotus in Kunlun, he was one of the participants just like me. His name is Su Yuan, and he is a pill. build.

Danxiu... I thought that those who really like to play hunting games are sword repairers, body repairers, and even law repairers and array repairers who prefer remote control from a distance. Don't dead houses such as Danxiu and instrument repairers even watch it? Not interested in watching?

Zou Yu followed me obediently.This kind of competition is actually very unfriendly to him, because he can't use spiritual power to detect the competition situation in the venue - there are magic circles that shield external spiritual power on the competition field, so as to prevent the spiritual power of the audience from interfering with the progress of the game ——Although there is a magic weapon for live broadcasting that can broadcast the situation inside, and can control the viewing angle, distance, range, etc. of the broadcast, Zou Yu can also perceive the picture on the broadcast video, but when he arrives at the scene Looking at the small screen always feels bad.

Zou Yu himself didn't care, on the contrary he seemed quite happy.As a beast master, I always feel good in an environment with many spirit beasts.

I asked him, "You don't have your own spirit beast yet?"

Zou Yu: "There was a short time, but it was a cooperative relationship, not mine. I like birds and beasts, especially those with bright feathers."

Oh, the parrot rainbow is in line with your preferences, but it is a pity that it is not a spirit beast, otherwise we will give it to you at a loss.

You say yes?I looked at the temporary guardians of the parrot Rainbow, Nian Xuan, Que Mo and Jiang Mei.

These three people had a bitter face, and when they saw me, they came up to me, called "Senior Brother Pei", and stopped talking, just looked at the rest area outside the competition field with bitter hatred—Parrot Rainbow is now over there.

Both owned and unowned spirit beasts can sign up for this competition, and the competition is only for spirit beasts to compete. If the spirit beast has an owner, the owner can only watch and cheer from the audience, and cannot partner with his own spirit beast to fight.

"Is it the name you gave yourself?" I asked.

Nian Hyun: "Yeah, I missed one..."

How long has it been, how come you still can't see it?However, its spiritual power has stabilized a lot. If there are no major changes, the possibility of becoming a monster is very low, and your work is not in vain.However, it doesn't look like it will cultivate well, that is, the road to becoming a demon cultivator is not good, and it may just be a low-level cultivation, like a demon cultivator, and like a demon cultivator. Spiritual beasts, and the three different images of monsters?

Maybe Yaomeng refused to accept it not only because it was annoying, but also because it had no potential for advancement.

Now the competition is still in the preparation stage, and the participating spirit beasts can still fly around outside the field.The prey hamsters sensed the imminent danger and sought shelter in the field.Except for the fake spirit beast Su Yuan, these hamsters are just small spirit beasts that can be used to train their energy. They are just like the pair of hamsters that Yan Ziqi brought out from Yuhe. It can only be said that they are called spirit beasts. head.They have nothing to do with the isolation magic circle set up on the outer circle of the field, and they cannot escape.

Except Su Yuan.

The parrot Rainbow stared at the hamsters, but before the game started, it was blocked from the game. It could only stare at the hamsters viciously, but could not attack the hamsters.After waiting for a while, it became impatient and flew to the auditorium to find its three servants.

"I'm hungry." It said proudly.

Jiang Mei calmly gave it a fruit—it seemed that he had lost his temper.Sure enough, either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, these three were overwhelmed by the parrot.

Rainbow looked at me while eating the fruit, and Zou Yu stretched out a bit of spiritual power to touch it curiously.Rainbow glanced at him, and flew towards my shoulder. The fur ball took the first step to occupy my shoulder, and then the fur ball scratched Rainbow and flew into Zou Yu's arms.

Zou Yu: "...Yeah."

At the same time, there was an extra hamster with yellow stripes on its back at my feet, the one named Su Yuan.

Su Hamster didn't hide the lines of spiritual power from me, and smiled at me friendly, and waved his paw at the fur ball.

The fur ball jumped to the ground and touched Su Hamster's paw with the tip of its claw.

After I set up the sound barrier, I asked Su Yuan: "Fellow Daoist Su, what are you doing?"

Su Yuan: "Hey, did you recognize me? I'm playing. I like birds. Oh, and cats too."

Like the species that put you in the recipe?Also, the lines of spiritual power you showed in front of me are almost engraved with self-introduction, don't you just want me to recognize it?

Me: "Are you looking for something from me?"

Su Yuan: "The next game after this one is over, I'm a contestant and I need a partner. Would you like to temporarily form a team with me?"

Me: "Next?" Surely it's not the next event for the bird race?No matter how lame the organizer is, it is impossible to treat hamsters as birds, right?

Su Yuan: "There's a race not far to the east. It's a rat race."

Uh, I know that one, but, "Is that a rat game?"

Su Yuan: "They're all rodents."

But you are hamsters, they are murines, you are of the same order as them, but different families.
