0468_Controversy

Ghost cultivators have always had some controversies in the cultivation world. The biggest problem is that if a ghost cultivator without body protection is injured, it will always be directly injured on the soul, and the death of a ghost cultivator will be disastrous.

This kind of disintegration is different from the natural dissipation of the soul.

The natural soul dissipates. For example, the soul that dissipated after my death in my previous life has memories, so after I regrouped these soul elements in this life, I directly inherited the memories of my previous life.

There are also many records in the world of comprehension, which show that many people have some memory fragments that do not belong to themselves in this life and occasionally flash through their minds, about treasures, secrets, and bone burials... It is generally believed that these memory fragments are It is from the soul factor, they inherit the wealth of the predecessors... Of course, some of them also inherit some bad evil thoughts.

But none of these fragments of memory, good or bad, ever came from ghost cultivation.Including all the memories of ghosts before and after they became ghosts, they have never been flashed back in the minds of future generations.

Therefore, the comprehension world believes that ghost cultivators' souls will be scattered, and there will be no soul elements left behind. Those broken souls will die completely, and perhaps they will not be able to become unconscious auras, but instead, they will turn into ordinary air.That is a kind of complete death, without reincarnation, and even completely separated from the cultivation world.

However, there are also many monks who don't care about this, because they feel that it is meaningless to preserve some memory fragments for future generations. The original person is still dead, and the descendant who inherited part of his memory has nothing to do with the person who provided the memory.The predecessors could not choose their own heirs, so why leave memories?

There is a theory to refute this: Which soul elements can gather together to form a soul, this process itself is a choice.It is a kind of blood circulation in the sense of soul.Moreover, there is still no word on how many memories a soul factor can inherit. Maybe one grain is all the memories of a lifetime?If all the memories in the soul factor can be awakened, wouldn't that be equivalent to the rebirth of the predecessors?

Opponents said: the predecessors were reborn, so where should the newborn soul be placed?All serve that one soul factor?The new life has become a repeat of the past, and it is the same old face over and over again. What is the meaning of this world?What, what is reborn is only memory, not emotion?Just kidding, how many times have feelings not based on memory?

...In short, no conclusion has been reached so far.There is only one point that they barely reached a consensus on, that is, there should not be too many ghost cultivators.Because the more ghost cultivators, the more soul factors that lead to complete death after the death of ghost cultivators, and the less soul factors that carry the memory of cultivation and cultivate the subconscious mind, and the fewer newborn souls that are naturally good at and close to cultivation , and eventually the world of comprehension will become more and more difficult.

This consensus is of little significance to low-level practitioners. It is difficult for low-level practitioners to become ghost cultivators on their own. Like ordinary people, they can only try their luck.As for the high-level cultivators above Huashen, anyway, the Yunxia Sect abides by it very well, and the other nine families in the Tenth Mile have never heard of any family that has a particularly extraordinary ghost cultivator. two.

The number of ghost cultivators on the loose cultivator side is a bit eye-catching, but this number is emerging from the low-cultivation group. I don't know if the casual cultivators are particularly prone to obsession, or they have special transformation techniques.In short, the Loose Cultivator Alliance has been repeatedly reminded by various sects not to deliberately create ghost cultivators, but the Loose Cultivator Alliance has always stated that they are innocent. They said:

"Loose cultivators are difficult and obsessive. There is no way to do it. Can't people have become ghost cultivators and we can destroy them?"

Consensus in the cultivation world: It is not recommended to embark on the road of ghost cultivation, but those who have become ghost cultivation cannot be deprived of their right to normal life.

In the realm of cultivation, foundation building can only be regarded as an entry level, and Jindan can be called successful initially.This division is reflected in many aspects. In terms of seeing ghosts, Jindan stage can generally see ghosts unless they suppress their vision, while foundation building stage can generally see ghosts unless they deliberately strengthen their vision. .

As for the qi training period that has not really crossed the threshold of cultivation, whether one can see ghosts or not depends on one's talent. In the words of ordinary people, it is easy to see ghosts if the horoscope is relatively light.

Seeing that Si Li was really scared, I thought of my experience of being often frightened by horror movies, so I asked her, "Can I see ghosts by myself? I can help."

Si Li shook her head quickly, and found that this action was ambiguous, and quickly said: "I can perceive ghosts with the help of some magic tools, but I can't 'see' them, and I don't bring magic tools. If it's not troublesome...thank you for your help .”

"What's the trouble?" I raised my hand and wiped Si Li's eyes, letting my spiritual power form a small filter in front of her eyes.

Si Li's eyes widened, then she stared blankly for a while, and finally returned to the normal state of opening her eyes, her expression was no longer afraid, and she regained her composure: "It's really not scary. If it wasn't translucent, it would look like an ordinary person." no difference."

That's right, that's it.The frightening essence of horror horror movies lies in the sudden close-up of ghosts and their hideous appearance. Of course, ghosts that lack both cannot be scary. It is not as good as before, no matter how malicious, as a monk, it is impossible to be afraid of him.

Moreover, most people's dependence on vision is very serious. If they can only feel the existence but not see the existence, people will be more likely to panic. Apart from the problem of guts, the lower the cultivation level, the more so.Even for monks, feeling is enough to attack and defend. On the contrary, paying too much attention to "seeing" is easy to be disturbed by blindfolds.

"Can you see me?"

But seeing ghosts also has its downsides, that is, it is easy to attract ghosts to one's side, especially those ghosts who have not practiced and are new to people who can see ghosts.

When the ghost that had been floating around with Feng Qiang left Feng Qiang and came to Si Li and me, Feng Qiang seemed to have noticed something, stroked his arm, and looked around slightly with restraint.

I replied to the ghost: "Yes."

Si Li and I are in the corner now. Although many people secretly look at us from time to time, as long as we control the volume, most people can't hear what we are talking about, especially when Si Li and I are sitting together , even if someone saw our mouths moving, they would only think that it was the two of us talking, and would not think that our conversation partner also included a ghost.

Tuoxifeng treated me very politely. I said I wanted to visit and they let me visit. I said I didn’t like socializing, so they found me a corner location with a good view.They do all the work of communicating with the crew, and they specially left Si Li to accompany me and act as my bodyguard, in case someone deliberately came to strike up a conversation with me, and they led Mu Yao around the crew, as a play up.

The ghost happily floated in front of us: "Then can you tell Qiang Qiang for me, tell him, please don't be sad, those who love him believe that he was just splashed with sewage, he is the best, We all love him."

I:"……"

Si Li: "Are you his fan?"

The ghost nodded proudly: "Yes."

Me: "How did you die?"

Si Li glanced at me.

Take a look.No cultivation, no strong resentment, and being so fresh and happy when you meet a living person who can communicate, it is obviously a new ghost, and it may not take more than a month to become a ghost. Just look at this ghost's silly and sweet appearance.Not long after he died, he acted that star chasing was more important than everything else, and it was obvious that his death was not painful. Since it is not painful, it is not a taboo topic that cannot be asked.I am an example myself.

The ghost was wobbly: "He died of a sudden heart attack. I didn't even know I had a heart problem before I died."

Me: "...I heard that death from a heart attack can be very painful."

Si Li looked at me again.

...Girl, don't read it, I know I've picked the wrong topic, and I still can't rashly push myself and others.But since I have asked all the questions, it won’t be much better if I turn abruptly in the middle, so I just finish the question, and seem to be a little more frank and indifferent, maybe it will not make the person who is touched by the sad thing more sad... I guess.

The ghost grinned: "Yeah, it hurts very, very much. I feel like I died from the pain before my heart couldn't support it."

0471_ die like this

Because the ghost's expression was too different from the content of the words, Si Li and I didn't answer the conversation for a while, but the ghost didn't care, he probably didn't talk to anyone for a long time, and his tone was a little excited:

"On that day, not long ago, evidence was issued to prove that Qiang Qiang had never been adopted. The uncle who caused Qiang Qiang to be involved in the foster scandal seemed to be disliked. He divorced his wife and was still in the interview. With a guilty face, he said that the reason for the divorce was him, because he was sorry for his wife. The same woman, when asked whether their divorce was related to Qiang Qiang, said coldly, "I don't want to mention him."

The ghost seemed very angry: "Hmph, I yelled at my phone on the street in a fit of anger, and then..."

His expression was suddenly a little confused, and I couldn't help but speak cheaply: "Then you died?"

Si Li probably couldn't take it anymore, she lowered her head and put her hands on her forehead.

The ghost was much calmer than her, and said: "Then I was thirsty, went into the cold drink shop, and ordered a cup of ice cream. After eating, I saw a figure that looked like Qiang Qiang, so I chased after him without thinking. Get out. Too bad I lost track very quickly, I just stopped to catch my breath, gasped... and died."

... On the dangers of chasing stars.

Si Li finally stopped casting strange eyes at me, and turned to this ghost instead.

The ghost continued: "Actually, I didn't realize that I was dead at first. The sudden severe colic pain suddenly disappeared. I just felt very relaxed, so relaxed that I was floating... Then I realized that, Floating is not an adjective. I really floated into the air, and my eyesight became very good. I found that figure that looked like Qiang Qiang, and I chased after it. The speed of floating was very fast, within a few seconds. After catching up with the person who had been running just now, the distance was getting bigger and bigger, and then I floated directly opposite him, only half a meter away from him, and confirmed that he was indeed my Qiang Qiang. After that I have been with him all the time, 24 hours a day and not absent for a second."

... On the dangers of being a celebrity.

Me: "You didn't go back to see what happened to your... dead body?"

Ghost: "I saw it, Qiang Qiang saw it. He found me when I ran out of the cold drink shop to chase him, and he stopped shortly after getting rid of the living me, so when I suddenly fell to the ground and died, he Not very far from my body, I heard people screaming and calling an ambulance. Later he went to inquire and learned of my death. Then it was obviously none of his business, and he was in such a difficult situation at the time, he He still pretended to care about my funeral, and even sent flowers to my tomb. If I didn’t have savings, he would even buy my tomb.”

Hey, don't say the last word in a tone of regret.
