Chapter Six, Dreamland.
Oh, hello Master. My name is Huang Xiaojian and I live in Beijing. Xiaojian quickly introduced himself with respectful words.
Oh, what is your master's surname and name? Those who can enter the barrier are not ordinary people.
Little girl, there is evil energy within you. The voice sounded right above her head.
How could this be? Xiaojian was confused and muttered to himself, "Isn't it just a dream? It seems like not even half an hour has passed."
Xiao Jian roughly talked about the passage and the dog's teeth, without mentioning what the old monk said about the evil and poisonous energy in the body. How could I have such a thing? He must have seen it wrong.
What dream?
How did you come to this Zhangdao Ling Void Barrier?" the old monk asked kindly.
Xiao Jian suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and looked around, but found no one.
The dried well inside the ancient castle, the one-way passage set up by Zhang Daoling... Hearing people say that things in dreams are all reversed, I don't know if it's true or not.
It was brought in by the master. Xiao Jian answered truthfully.
After walking through the sand dunes, we returned to the ancient castle and caught a glimpse of Uncle Fei still staring intently at the blue stone tablet, muttering "gulu gulu" under his breath.
Be careful with your drinking, Fei Shu quickly said, "This is the only thing we have in this world."
Oh, it turns out it was just a dream. Xiao Jian rubbed his eyes and stood up. He didn't know how long he had been asleep.
Another passage! Uncle Fei was greatly surprised by these words, and hurriedly asked, "Quickly tell Master the truth about what you dreamed."
"Not good, none of them are good," Xiao Jian said disdainfully, "The first type of body snatching turns into a baby, and dies after defecating and urinating. The second type is an old man or an old woman, old, ugly, and sick, suffering in life."
"I came in, but now I can't get out," Xiao Jian said softly.
Regarding the phenomenon of "piao hun duo she", it occurs when a cultivator fails to possess a suitable target after their primordial spirit leaves their body during the process of passing away. They become a lonely ghost wandering aimlessly, seeking opportunities outside. For example, they may encounter people who are poisoned, involved in car accidents, drowned, or committed suicide. These bodies are often healthier and thus a good choice for possession.
Well," Xiao Jian nodded, "it has a large fang of a Luomo, and it used it to come in."
Little Jian kept yawning repeatedly, unable to keep his eyes open. He leaned against the pedestal of a statue and fell asleep in a daze, while Dian Dian quietly curled up on his lap.
That still can't get out. Xiao Jian's newly ignited hope was instantly shattered.
Who? Who is laughing?
Huh, aren't you the statue of Monk Hongbian? How did you come to life... Xiao Jian was dumbfounded, unable to close his mouth.
Ha ha ha... Suddenly, a burst of laughter sounded from beside the ear, with an ancient and desolate tone.
"What about possession?" Xiao Jian asked.
Little Jian took Dian Dian to the ancient city and went straight into the Mogao Caves. Then, they casually entered a cave, which turned out to be the entrance to the seventeenth cave of the barrier.
Hehe, clever.
※※※。
Inside an ancient castle, there is a dry well. However, it is only a one-way passage that can only be entered from the outside and not allowed to exit. Hongbian monk pondered.
No, I just took a nap.
They returned to the foot of the stone tablet, and over the next two days, Mr. Fei diligently memorized every single word on it without missing a single one.
Master, I don't recognize many of the characters on this.
One-way channel... Uncle Fei muttered, then said, "Let's go and look for that dried well. It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."
It's so deep, how can I go down? Xiao Jian felt a little scared in his heart.
Okay, now we can consider leaving "The Nightmare of Dunhuang". It finally breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Huh... " Hongbian Lama was surprised and withdrew his hand, remaining silent for a long time.
Well, he is called Uncle Fei, a little pig," Xiao Jian said with a smile.
Master, are you saying...? Xiao Jian pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, "Is it possible to take the soul of the corpse worm and possess it in someone else's body?"
Returning to the ancient castle, from afar I could hear the sound of snoring "huluulu" coming from under the stone tablet, where Uncle Fei was sleeping soundly in a twisted position.
Well, "附体夺舍" refers to the phenomenon where a spiritual entity possesses a living person, resulting in the coexistence of two souls. Generally speaking, individuals who are physically weak or have excessive Yin energy are more susceptible to being possessed by wandering spirits or ghosts. Although the possession occurs, it is still considered as a temporary residence, with the host maintaining dominance for the majority of the time. However, there are cases where the host's lifespan ends, and the possessing spiritual entity takes over the physical body.
Not just a nap, it's estimated that it has been a day and a night already," Uncle Fei said discontentedly.
Child, "At the beginning of life, human nature is inherently good." You are still young, and the world is full of material desires and distractions. It is crucial that you do not lose your innate goodness, or else you will face the consequences of your actions in the future." said Master Hongbian solemnly.
Yes, if the scroll continues like this, I will only die here. Xiao Jian's eyelids turned red, tears swirling in his eyes.
This will be known in the future. The old monk sighed deeply, then closed his eyes and fell silent.
The statue of Master Hongbian still sits silently on the low platform, with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth and a gentle gaze.
"This is not necessarily the case," the old monk pondered, "since you have the canine tooth that can enter the void boundary, perhaps you can give it a try."
Is that all? Xiao Jian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, as if the "Broken Tile Great Method" didn't have much mystery.
"Master, after observing for so long, what have you comprehended?" Xiao Jian asked.
In the dream, the venerable Hongbian suddenly came alive and told me that there was a dry well in the ancient castle, which was another passage to the void set up by Zhang Daoling...
Well, let's find a cave to sleep in. Mr. Fei is still immersed in his research, with single-minded devotion.
"Dog tooth?" Master Hongbian scratched his bald head, feeling quite puzzled. He muttered to himself, "What's going on? For over a thousand years, no one has been seen here, and now even pigs and thousands of corpse insects have entered the barrier."
While pondering deeply, I heard the voice of Master Fei speaking by my ear. Master has awakened.
"Xiao Jian, why did you sleep for so long?" Uncle Fei looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Master, I don't understand.
In the cave, Ge Laoyan's body emitted a faint smell of blood. Xiao Jian turned his head in disgust and quickly left.
Well, there are several ways to perform the technique of "Po Wa Duo She". For example, "Tai Sheng Duo She" involves a practitioner taking over the body of a newborn baby who has just been born at the moment of the practitioner's death. The practitioner's soul leaves their own body and enters the newborn's body, which is then claimed as their own. This is known as "reincarnated spirit child" in esoteric Buddhism. "Shou Zhong Duo She" involves a practitioner taking over the body of an elderly person who has just passed away at the moment of the practitioner's death. It is important to note that the timing of the takeover is related to the season, temperature, and climate. The blood and heart of the body cannot coagulate, and the body cannot be too stiff. If the takeover is performed on the body of an elderly, weak, sick, or disabled person, not only will the practitioner not survive for many years, but they will also suffer along with the diseased body. In such cases, the only option is to wait for another opportunity to perform the takeover. However, frequent takeovers will cause significant damage to the practitioner's soul and will greatly affect their spiritual cultivation." explained Uncle Fei patiently.
The venerable monk Hongbian gazed at her with wise eyes and said slowly, "I have noticed a faint old yin energy in your lower dantian, although it is in its infancy, it is extremely resentful. Have you had any extraordinary experiences before?"
Monk Hongbian saw Xiaojian looking so sad, so he sighed and comforted him, saying, "The void set up by Zhang Daoling has another passage."
"Pig?" Master Hongbian was obviously surprised and immediately asked, "Is it a pig that has achieved enlightenment? But it's not easy to get in here."
Inside the castle, amidst a patch of uniform tall weeds, Uncle Fei and Xiao Jian truly discovered a dried-up well. Looking down, it was very deep and chillingly bottomless.
So, why would you use a corpse worm to snatch someone's body? Xiao Jian looked at it in confusion.
Is it? Xiao Jian was stunned and quickly asked, "Where?"
Thank you, Master. Xiao Jian became happy again.
Xiao Jian sat quietly on the pedestal of Xumi Mountain, took the opportunity to drink a little naked flower juice, and then supported his chin with his hand, sinking into contemplation.
What is it? Xiao Jian became interested.
Little Jian shook his head and thought to himself, "I have had so many adventures, why should I tell this unfamiliar old monk?"
Uncle Fei's face turned serious: "The master is explaining the 'Breaking the Roof' technique, you must listen attentively."
Well, it's no wonder. The educational standard in schools nowadays is really poor," Uncle Fei complained.
Hululu, of course it's a high-ranking official, the higher the better. Uncle Fei's gloomy eyes stared straight at the sky, feeling proud and confident at this moment.
"Oh, is it a scroll that has been rolled up?" said Monk Hongbian with a smile.
Yes, Master.
Master, I'm a bit tired and want to sleep. Xiao Jian yawned, the life-and-death struggle of his Yuan Shen just now had left him extremely exhausted.
Well, now is not the time to break in," Uncle Fei pondered, "we need to first memorize the 'Powa Dafa', so that we can continue to comprehend it even after we leave."
"Xiao Jian, where are you going? When practicing, you must concentrate and ponder carefully. You can't always be playful," criticized Uncle Fei.
Master, what's wrong? Xiao Jian felt surprised.
Xiao Jian turned his head and looked up, couldn't help but exclaim, quickly stood up, and saw an old monk sitting cross-legged on the low platform, smiling at her.
The old monk smiled faintly: "I have been meditating here for a thousand years, and you are the first person to enter the barrier."
Little Jian suddenly woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and found himself still leaning against the feet of the statue of Hongbian Monk. Turning around, he saw the old monk sitting on the low platform, with a faint smile on his lips, kind eyes, and still a statue.
There is another higher level of body snatching, which is the most crucial for us. "Uncle Fei paused for a moment and said solemnly.
Well, let me see where that evil energy in your body comes from, young one.
※※※。
Old monk, whether the things in my dream are true or false, you are a good person. I bow to you. She knelt down on both knees and knocked three times, "Dong Dong Dong", then walked out of the cave with a little hesitation.
Soul Transference, "Uncle Fei chuckled, "It is the use of the 'Shattering the Roof Technique' to extract someone's soul and possess it in another person's body."
Master has learned the "Breaking Tile Technique". It's enough to teach it to me. My mouth is so dry, please give me some Naked Man Flower juice.Xiao Jian climbed onto the pedestal of Mount Sumeru and tilted the stone bottle to take a big sip. He smacked his lips and felt the sweet taste like honey.
