Fairy cage

In the stone house.

Yu Lie stepped down from the stone bed and took out a metal altar.

The surface of the altar is mottled and rusty, and it looks like it is almost damaged by use. But it has been with Yu Lie for many years, and has been thoroughly nurtured by Yu Lie. It is more suitable for his use than a better quality altar.

After arranging the altar in the stone house, Yu Lie immediately punched out a series of talismans and hung them with ink lines, like a bead curtain, one by one hanging around the altar, and then took out spiritual stones one by one. , placed at the heel of the altar, creating a rich aura environment.

After taking care of this, Yu Lie did not sit cross-legged on the altar. Instead, he spent another two days checking the layout of the altar thoroughly, and personally reviewed every talisman.

After confirming that there was no problem at all, he stood on the altar, bowed his hands towards a figure sitting cross-legged at the door of the stone house, and then fell down and sat in the center of the altar.

The person being saluted by the rest of the line was one of the two women who took turns protecting the Dharma in the stone house.

Today's person happens to be Miaom.

Miaomu took in Yu Lie's actions in the past few days one by one, and felt more nervous than Yu Lie, the person involved.

"I didn't expect that it has only been five years... It has only been five years since Langjun entered the Taoist Palace, and he will be able to break through and become a Taoist official! Time flies so fast, is it too hasty?"

Miaomu was thinking about it in her mind, but now that the rest of them had begun to make breakthroughs, the only thing she and Luo Sen could do was to protect the rest of their lives and offer their blessings.

Miaomu suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart: "With your talents, you will definitely be confident if you dare to break through the barriers in such a foreign world!"

At the same time, the remaining figures behind the spells began to blur in Miaomu's sight, and finally turned into only a faint figure, with the figure barely visible.

Before the training began, although Yu Lie did not have enough money to buy the main medicine for transformation, he had prepared all the auxiliary medicines and ritual formations related to transformation.

What he currently arranged in the center of the altar was a party called the "High-definition Immortality and Soul-Nourishing Talisman Spirit Array".

This formation method does not require the user to know much knowledge about talisman formations. He only needs to arrange the talisman around the altar according to the formation diagram to take effect.

When properly arranged, the formation can not only extract the spiritual energy from the spiritual stones and act as a spiritual gathering array, but also prevent external interference.

Of course, the most special effect of this array is that it can protect the soul of the Taoist. Especially when the Taoist's soul leaves the body for the first time, it is protected from wind and light. The swaying of flies and mosquitoes may cause the Taoist's soul to be damaged. The soul collapsed and the work was lost.

With this method array arranged, under the protection of the method array, all factors that can interfere with the soul will be eliminated. Even the breathing energy produced by the Taoist's own body will be offset by the array in a clever way. , to prevent disturbing the condensation of Yinshen.

At this moment, Yu Lie was sitting cross-legged in the center of the magic circle. He was breathing heavily, and slowly filled the magic altar with his true energy, and continued to integrate with the entire formation.

All of a sudden.

In addition to his own five senses, he seemed to have an extra sense, able to look down at his body. This is another effect of the formation. It can help Taoists calm down and look down at themselves like a bystander, and can also detect mistakes and prevent minor mistakes.

After connecting the qi machine with the altar formation, Yu Lie finally took out the medicine collected during this transformation.

He stretched out his sleeves and with a gentle flick, grains of silver-white sand slanted out from his sleeves and landed on the altar, making a crisp metallic sound.

Under the urging of Yu Lie's true energy, the sand and stones were quickly and evenly distributed on the altar. They were densely packed, reflecting the cold spiritual light, and slowly melted, turning into a drop of liquid.

After a while, the gravel formed a soft silver mirror, almost covering the entire surface of the altar, with only a finger defect at the very edge.

The liquid that these sandstones turned into was the soul-nourishing medicine that Yu Lie had concocted these days.

The specific preparation method is to use an extraction method to refine the soul-nourishing medicinal properties of lead and mercury into the lead and mercury.

If a Taoist disciple wants to break through and become a Taoist official, the most important step is to condense the true energy and soul in this lead-mercury silver mirror to form a Yin Shen.

Taoists in ancient times adopted many methods in this step. With the development of immortality, other methods have been replaced by this one, which is called the technique of "seducing the soul and seizing the soul".

The more specific steps of this technique are to ask the Taoist to look back at himself. At the meridian hour, he puts on his robe and shoes backwards, puts his hair in a bun, looks at himself with a silver mirror, and then draws out his soul step by step. True energy nourishes the self in the mirror.

If you do this repeatedly, you can create a Yin Shen through false cultivation.

Compared with ancient times, although this method is dangerous, it does not require the Taoist's soul to be exposed to the world. Instead, it is hooked into the mirror first, which greatly reduces the chance of sudden death.

In particular, the silver mirror is forged from soul-nourishing medicine. When a person's soul enters it, it is being warmed and nourished at all times, which further reduces the possibility of the soul being scattered.

Generally speaking, the silver mirror used when seducing the soul should be neither too large nor too small, so that the whole body of the Taoist can be included in it and the entire body of the Taoist can be illuminated.

Therefore, a complete transformation medicinal material is not calculated by weight or size, but by the area that can be laid out.

The silver mirror that Yu Lie has now laid out completely covers the altar with a radius of one foot. It is still missing more than a finger, which means that the transformation medicinal materials he prepared are not enough, and the thickness and size of the silver mirror have not reached the maximum. Excellent proportion.

However, Yu Lie sat cross-legged in the cold lead-mercury liquid, his eyes calm, and he didn't pay much attention to this.

Because it was exactly as Miaom expected, Yu Lie's breakthrough was rapid, but not hasty at all.

As early as the past five years, Yu Lie had tempered his soul more than once with the help of the sun-bearing golden flame. Compared with ordinary Taoist disciples, the quality of his soul was unimaginably pure, almost comparable to the formal Taoist officials.

Therefore, for Yu Lie, he uses the technique of seducing souls to transform. The size of the silver mirror can actually be reduced even further, as small as three or four feet, which can illuminate his whole body.

This change of "driving things away into the secluded world" is risky for others, but for the rest of the group, the risk is just that.

However, Yu Lie was sitting on the altar, lowering his head to look at the missing part of the lead and mercury solution. He suddenly squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and took out the three-sided porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

He opened the mouth of the bottle and dropped the liquid in the bottle on the outermost circle of the altar.

In an instant, the lead-mercury liquid, which was full of silver light, was immediately wrapped in a circle of dark golden oil, and the missing part was immediately made up for.

Yu Lie put the porcelain plate into his sleeve and muttered to himself. "To be on the safe side, let's use soul oil to make up for what's missing."

The dark golden oil he dripped was the "soul oil" obtained by burning the soul with the golden flame holding the sun in the world of Longting.

This oil was originally used by Yu Lie to maintain the golden flame holding the sun, but it was condensed from souls, and its properties are quite similar to the soul-devouring dew. Yu Lie even suspected that the main properties of the two were the same. kind.

It's just that soul oil has not been purified by herbal creatures, so it may be inappropriate to take it directly. Therefore, Yu Lie has not considered using this substance as the main medicine for transformation, not wanting to leave any hidden dangers.

The reason why he dared to use it now was for no other reason than that it was just a backup, just in case something unexpected happened.

And compared with the lead and mercury liquid, the proportion of soul oil is very small. Even if I use it, it will not cause any hidden danger.

To take a step back, even if there are hidden dangers, compared with the failure of the breakthrough, Yu Lie can still accept the consequences. And when he really wants to use this soul oil to assist his transformation, he must have almost transformed. There is no need to take it at that time. He can take it with the golden flame holding the sun.

Everything is ready.

Yu Lie was sitting cross-legged on the altar of silver and gold. He wore his Taoist robe and shoes upside down, and his hair was covered over his face. The whole person looked strange and eerie.

"Now that there is a Taoist, the body is true to God. Learn the Dharma and practice skills, nourish your Qi and seek truth."

Yu Lie stretched his body and bowed to the heaven and earth on the altar with traditional movements.

He mumbled:

"If you want to get the soul of life, you want to use the magic of ghosts and gods...cultivate my yin body and boil my soul body."

Buzz!

Whenever Yu Lie kowtows, the eighteen copper bells he hangs around the altar will vibrate together, and the vibrating force will become stronger and stronger.

After Yu Lie kowtowed in all eighteen directions, a strange spiritual power filled the altar, drowning his body.

At this moment, Yu Lie's movements had already become stiff, as if he had turned into a puppet.

His heels were off the ground, as if there were ropes hanging on his neck and limbs, hanging him, his toes scraping the ground, swinging gently like a pendulum.

Yu Lie kept repeating: "Fu Wei Shang Xiang, Fu Wei Shang Xiang..."

This technique of seducing souls and seizing souls is clearly called seducing souls, but it is actually sacrificing souls. However, the soul being sacrificed is the Taoist's own soul, and the sacrifice used is the Taoist's body.

time flies.

Yu Lie was kept hanging while the thick essence was extracted from his body and poured into the silver mirror.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he stared at the lead-mercury silver mirror under him.

I saw that the figure reflected in the silver mirror under him was twisting strangely and making movements that were different from his.

At this time, Yu Lie's dull repeated mantras also became rapid and crazy:

"Fu Wei Shang Xiang, Fu Wei Shang Xiang!"

While chanting, the figure in the mirror became more and more distorted, and finally slowly raised his drooped head.

A pale, gloomy, human-like face was completely revealed.

"He" opened his empty eyes and looked at Yu Lie for a long time through the mirror.

This man had the same face as Yu Lie, so Yu Lie couldn't tell for a moment whether he was looking at the mirror or the person in the mirror was looking at the mirror.

Suddenly, the other party slowly approached, and his face pressed against the surface of the silver mirror, becoming distorted.

"He" completely broke away from Yu Lie's influence, opened his mouth and squeezed the mirror surface, as if he wanted to bite Yu Lie outside the mirror and devour it.

This object is the three souls and seven souls of Yu Lie, but "he" is not the complete three souls and seven souls.

There are evil thoughts and distracting thoughts in the human soul, and these are the most easily shaken. It can be said that the soul being drawn out now belongs to the evil thoughts in Yu Lie's consciousness, not his self-awareness.

If Yu Lie was careless and used the object as the main tool to shape the Yin God, the best result would be that his temperament would change drastically and he would go into evil ways from now on; the worst result would be that his entire body would be devoured by it and his energy and blood would be exhausted. Die in transformation.

At the same time, after the evil thoughts emerged, Yu Lie's self-awareness began to split and he was not very clear.

Fortunately, he had been meditating for the past two months, and even though the medicinal materials were withheld, he was still in a calm mood. Therefore, Yu Lie was not too affected by distracting thoughts and evil thoughts at this moment, and continued to seduce his entire soul.

However, the figure in the mirror struggled more and more fiercely, and the mirror surface was bulging and squirming, as if it was about to break open at the next moment.

And a thought came out from the mirror: "You are my food! Eat, eat you!"

This situation was somewhat beyond Yu Lie's expectations.

He thought that since he was a good gentleman and had practiced meditation for two months, the evil thoughts in his heart should not be serious. However, he did not expect that when the evil thoughts appeared, he would become so crazy that he would almost break the mirror.

This really didn't fit with Yu Lie's impression of himself, so a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Just in the mirror, a wisp of flame appeared. It bloomed from the forehead of the ghost of evil thoughts and swept over the object, entangling and binding it.

Yu Lie watched this scene coldly.

Even with just evil thoughts, he actually dared to rebel against him.

Even if this thing is one of his own souls, the rest of him will not spare it.

Suddenly, just as the golden flames burning the sun burned evil thoughts, an indescribable touch also appeared in Yu Lie's mind.

As he looked at the figure in the mirror, he instantly became hungry, and an appetite arose.

The next moment, the spiritual mechanism that bound Yu Lie's physical body was cut off. With a bang, his physical body fell down and curled up on the altar.

Another shadow flickered on his body, emerged from his body, stretched out an ethereal arm, and reached into the mirror.

Ah!

A scream originating from the soul level suddenly sounded.

At this moment, Yu Lie's soul finally left the body, and there was a look of greed on his face. He eagerly threw himself into the silver mirror, grabbed the arm that was suppressing his evil thoughts by the golden flame holding the sun, put it in his mouth and started chewing it. .

In an instant, a tearing pain and an indescribable feeling of fullness appeared in Yu Lie's heart at the same time.

He suddenly felt as if he was being torn apart and devoured, and also as if he was being torn apart and devoured by others.

………………

At this moment, outside the formation.

Miaomu sat cross-legged in the stone house, guarding Yu Lie for seven days, and there was another figure beside her.

Luo Sen stood next to Miaom. She was originally going to take over with Miaom, but the scene that happened in the formation immediately caught her eyes and made both her and Miaom nervous.

Although the scene inside the formation was vague, the two women could clearly see the two beast-like figures biting each other.

There was obviously no sound at all in the room, but both Luo Sen and Miaom felt a sharp and wailing scream in their ears, making their scalps numb.

Invisible fluctuations continue to spread from the formation, which is eerie and terrifying.

Luo Sen and Miaom looked at each other, with fear and suspicion in their eyes:

"Is this scene really transforming?"
