Chapter 23 Spirit Orifice Trial
"Am I really narrow-minded?" Cangjie said, lowering his head.
"Senior, you are one of the ancestors of Chinese culture. I have no intention of slandering you at all. On the contrary, it is the words you created that allow me to learn and understand. However, the times are developing, and some of your ideas may be in the historical process.
It may not be completely correct upon verification, but it will never affect your status." I said quickly.
"I thought that the words I created would always stand with me, allowing me to defeat others whenever I debate with anyone. But your words today made me feel that my understanding of justice is biased.
"
"This just shows your greatness. The words you create do not associate with anyone, only with justice."
"Well said, Lord Cangjie, don't blame yourself anymore. I think Wu Ming is qualified to learn spiritual skills. What do you think?" Chang Xian said.
"Well, take him there, I'll be back soon."
"Then my friend..." I asked.
"It doesn't matter, she is just in a state of sleep now, you can go and study with peace of mind." Cangjie said.
I nodded and followed Chang Xian to a dense forest behind me. I was bored on the way, so I asked:
"Senior, why were we stunned when we first came in?"
"At that time, I was making new drum heads and drumsticks with Cangjie, and we were still debugging them. You guys barged in, and you were injured by the sound. Fortunately, you know your ears, otherwise you might have been injured.
"
"I see, but what do the drumheads and drumsticks you just mentioned have to do with Lingqiao and Cangjie?" Since I didn't know much about Chang Xian, I asked about the origin of this place, but I was too embarrassed to speak directly.
When I asked him, I wanted to ask about Cangjie first.
"Oh? When you ask this, do you know my relationship with this place?" Chang Xian looked at me with a slight smile.
"Ah, me." I was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"It doesn't matter, my reputation is far less than that of Cangjie. I am still aware of this, but you must know my invention, the war drum."
"I know that when two armies confront each other, they can not only build up their military power but also frighten their opponents. Is this your invention?" I asked in surprise.
"Yes, when I came back from hunting, I casually put the animal skin on a tree branch. Unexpectedly, after being exposed to the wind and sun, the animal skin tightened and wrapped around the tree branch. I knocked it casually a few times in my spare time, and the sound was powerful and full of emotion.
However, this kind of drum is not very strong and often breaks if I exert too much force. Later, the Nine Heavens Xuannv entrusted me with a dream and told me to cover the drum with Kui cowhide and use the bones of thunder beasts as drumsticks.
The power of moving mountains is endless." Chang Xian said and gestured.
"What are Kui Niu and Thunder Beast?" I asked puzzledly.
"Two huge creatures can make sounds like thunder. Later, I successfully obtained these materials, and the drums I made were really extraordinary, with high-pitched and powerful sounds. When the Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You, my war drums performed well.
Huge effect.”
"It's amazing. I didn't expect that although my senior looks rough, the things he makes are so original. What about senior Cangjie?" I asked doubtfully.
"Cangjie coined the word to visualize the sounds emitted by the spiritual orifice. You have learned so many Taoist methods, so you must have heard of spiritual energy. However, because the spiritual orifice is open, even though it is called the word "ling", it is difficult to learn and use it.
But there is no spiritual energy left at all."
Because it is written in detail on the nose orifice that the mouth cannot feel spiritual energy, so this was actually what I expected.
"Is it because the mouth is the place where grains and animals are eaten?

?" I asked quietly.
"Where did you see it?" Chang Xian suddenly said with a blush.
"Nasal orifice."
"Huh, that's all written randomly, don't believe it."
"Okay, okay, I don't believe it. How do you learn and use the spiritual orifice?" I quickly agreed, for fear that he wouldn't teach me.
"Use words." Chang said first.
"Word?"
"Yes, words can materialize the sounds of spiritual apertures. You have fought against Wu Jue. How did Bei Jue attack his opponent?"
I started to think back to the scene where my father fought with him before, and said: "The first time he said 'get out', the second time he said 'ah', and finally he put some Taoist charms on his body, and then his attack
It’s become more powerful.”
"Tao talisman? What you mentioned before is still the Tao method within the scope of our spiritual aperture, but the Tao talisman may belong to other sects. We do not use Tao talismans to improve the power of the spiritual aperture. But as you can see, Bei Jue also uses simulation
Sound or using meaningful words to attack, this is the method of controlling the spiritual orifice."
"Isn't that just barking randomly?" I said, dumbfounded.
"It's bad. Not only is it not just random shouting, but there are rules to follow. The more concrete words, such as the word 'go' that Bei Jue said, have less lethality than the 'ah' he said after it. This is because the spiritual aperture is still based on the spirit.
First of all, the more concrete it is, the more vulgar it is, and the more ethereal it is, the more elegant it is."
"Then how to control it specifically?"
"It's up to you to realize this." As we spoke, we came to the depths of the jungle, and I saw a huge animal skin and several huge bones.
"This is..." I asked, pointing to these.
"This is the skin of Kui cows and the bones of thunder beasts. Cangjie and I used them to make war drums. At the same time, the cultivation of spiritual apertures is also inseparable from them. The cultivation of spiritual apertures is divided into two steps. The first step is to feel the huge drum sound.
Because you have already learned the aura changes, this step will be easy for you; the second step is to make sounds through the aura and imitate the aura you just felt. In this process, the more specific the words, the easier it is to imitate.
The more abstract and meaningless a word is, the more powerful it is, but it is also more difficult to imitate.”
"What does imitating spiritual energy mean? Didn't you just say that the spiritual orifice has no spiritual energy?" I asked in confusion.
"Yes, there is no spiritual energy in the spiritual orifice, but spiritual energy is actually the carrier of will, which can be used to control the seven orifices. You should understand it if you have learned other Taoist methods. Similarly, words are the carrier of spiritual orifices, although it is not spiritual energy.
But we can achieve the purpose of using and manipulating spiritual orifices through vocalization. From this perspective, our vocalization is actually imitating spiritual energy."
"I see. Well, let's proceed to the first stage first." I said confidently.
Chang Xian quickly filled the raw materials and made a very huge drum. He held two drumsticks made of bones and said to me:
"I'm going to start, please feel it."
I calmed down and secretly activated my ears to capture every detail.
The first sound was like endless dark clouds covering the sky and the earth. Suddenly a huge thunder roared, refreshing the world.
But my brain felt dizzy again, and the sudden loud sound even made my hair stand on end. I had to close my ear openings again. But in order to feel the aura of the war drum, I planned to open my ear openings bit by bit.
, to capture the sound.
The second sound sounded as if there was no light in the world, and under the dead air, a spring thunder awakened the vitality of this vast universe.
Because of this first experience, I captured it carefully this time
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I felt that the aura of some war drums was so powerful that my whole body was shaking.
The third sound was like a sound from the sky, sharp and harsh, and wherever you looked, it felt like the end of the world.
The aura I captured this time was another feeling, as if a knife was wandering around my body and inadvertently scratched my skin. However, I had no idea that by the time I reacted, I was already covered in cuts and bruises.
After playing the three-tone drum, Chang first asked: "How is Wu Ming, how do you feel?"
"I feel that the first tom is like the sound of opening the sky, the second tom is like the sound of life, and the third tom is like the sound of death, killing people invisible and the most deadly."
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Much better than that boy Bei Jue. He is worthy of being Ling Lun's disciple. After listening to it once, he will understand everything."
This is the first time I have heard the names of the five members of the Shao family. It seems that they have also left a deep impression on these ancient gods here.
"How many times has he listened to it?" I asked.
"Thirty times."
I was greatly shocked. With the help of my ears, I could barely listen to it in full. Bei Jue could actually listen to it thirty times with just his physical body?
"Thirty times? That's too exaggerated, aren't you tired?" I said sarcastically.
"He's not afraid of shock, so why should I be tired? But he is indeed the most capable person I have ever seen who can withstand loud sounds, which is unprecedented." Chang Xian said with emotion.
"Then since the spiritual orifice is also a type of seal of the seven orifices, can it also be sealed?" I heard that Bei Jue was so powerful, and I quickly wanted to ask about the sealing method.
"Of course there are ways, but I can only teach you if you have learned the spiritual skills."
"Now that I have completed the first stage, let's hurry up to the second stage." I urged.
"This won't work. The second stage is Cangjie's home field. I'm only responsible for beating the drum."
I took a look at the place where I came from, and there was no sign of Cangjie at all, so I decided to give it a try myself first.
I tried to recall the feeling just now. The first sound was the sound of opening the sky. The spiritual energy was majestic and majestic, as if there were thousands of troops accompanying me. I secretly breathed in and shouted: "Ah!"
"Stop shouting, it's too noisy." Chang Xian said next to him.
"Then you won't teach me, so I have to practice by myself first." I said helplessly.
"Then you practice, can you practice hard? What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say that the more concrete it is, the less powerful it is, and the more abstract it is, the more powerful it is? Then of course I will practice 'ah'."
"But you have to do it step by step. Start with concrete words first."
After hearing Chang Xian's guidance, I was very happy and quickly shouted: "Open!".
Although the voice was loud, it was not shocking at all. I looked at Chang Xian in confusion and he said:
"What are you looking at? You are yelling randomly. You have to mobilize your blood to let the Qi flow out of your Dantian. Although you are not controlled by spiritual energy, you still need to use your blood to control your vocalizations."
I took a deep breath and stayed in my Dantian, held my breath and stared at a tree in front of me. After a while, I shouted: "Open!".
This time, I used my Dantian energy to push out my voice. The voice was powerful and full of murderous intent. I saw the tree in front of me split open. Chang Xian next to me opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless. I was also happy.
He was jumping up and down, and just then Cangjie came and said:
"Why are you happy? Do you think you have mastered it? This tree was not destroyed by the sound from your spiritual aperture."
