When Shen Hao got off work in the afternoon and got on the carriage home, he was still feeling novel and surprised by the contents of the newly obtained pile of jade albums.
The first thing I didn't expect was that the beast-controlling sect had a very obvious connection with the evil monks! Even judging from the spells and methods in the jade book, the reason why Li Xinghe has such a high soul strength is probably because he brewed some evil stuff like Yin Tofu and swallowed it.
Thinking about it this way, the beast-controlling sect has become so unpopular that even ordinary monks have never heard of it. I am afraid that this is also the reason why its practice path is closer to the evil monks.
Look at the evil monks, they are really famous, and even though they are hiding in hiding, there are quite a few of them, but everyone calls them to beat them, they are the public enemies of the world. Although the beast-controlling school is unpopular, it can still walk around the world quietly without being strangled, so it makes sense to keep a low profile and hide itself.
In addition, Shen Hao also found a technique he was very curious about in the jade book, called "Soul Seizing", a technique that uses one's own soul and consciousness as a sharp weapon to penetrate into the bodies of other living beings to suppress or destroy the other's soul. , a means of occupying or inheriting control of the other party's physical body.
This should be the reason why Li Xinghe could hide his soul in the dog's body in an attempt to escape.
However, after reading the description of this "Soul Seizing" method, Shen Hao is sure that Li Xinghe is just an introduction to this method, and is far from being proficient in it. Otherwise, Li Xinghe will become a master just by relying on this method. It's very difficult to deal with, even scary. If that were the case, Shen Hao boasted that there was a high probability that he would not be able to kill the opponent by leapfrogging, and he might even lose.
"...The soul is forged and sharpened, the soul is also a blade...The body is no more than a raft, and all creatures in the world are like this, and they can all be taken away..."
Shen Hao remembered the words in the jade book "Soul Seizing" in his heart. To be honest, it made him feel cold.
The physical bodies of living beings in the world are compared to rafts, bumping and undulating in the torrent of world affairs. The ones who control these rafts are naturally the souls, and "Soul Seizing" targets the souls themselves.
At first glance, this "Soul Seizing" seems to be no different from the soul-type magic. But the fact is that the two are very different!
General soul spells, such as Shen Hao's soul power, soul-suppressing spells, etc., all have the sole purpose of suppressing or destroying the opponent's soul. It's like an arrow shooting towards the soul.
"Soul Seizing" is not a sharp arrow, but a sharp hoe. After it digs out the original soul, it also steals the "skin raft", that is, it takes possession of other people's bodies. This is what makes Shen Hao feel cold.
What’s the meaning? You might ask what’s the point of occupying someone else’s body?
Very simple. Since the physical body is compared to a "raft" used to advance bravely in the torrent of worldly affairs, naturally the stronger and bigger the "raft" is, the better. This is "talent", and it also involves "living environment" and so on. and other complex factors.
To give two examples, people with different talents will naturally have different results from their practice. Two monks with the same talent but different origins will have different cultivation speeds and final achievements.
The purpose of "Soul Capture" is to constantly change the "raft" and reach the level of "perfection".
In terms of the degree of evil, this "Soul Seizing" is no worse than any method of evil monks that Shen Hao knows, or even worse.
Obviously, Li Xinghe's level of practicing "Soul Seizing" is still far away, but his purpose is not just to escape.
Even "Soul Seizing" is still a very necessary magic method for the beast control school. Especially when used in conjunction with other "beast control" methods, it is more versatile and has a wide range of uses.
For example, that obviously unusual "dog" is actually a monster cultivated by Li Xinghe using other methods of controlling beasts. He can even remotely control monsters to fight, achieving the so-called harmony between man and nature that Shen Hao has seen. Effect.
Shen Hao spent half a day looking through the jade albums. Although not every technique on them was studied in detail, it also solved a lot of his previous curiosity about the beast-controlling school. But in the same way, the more you learn, you will find that new problems will arise.
In that pile of jade books, although most of them were techniques and methods directly related to the beast control school, many of them had appeared in Li Xinghe, such as the techniques to control or tame ferocious beasts. But the overall feeling is definitely not what Shen Hao thought before, and the Beast Control School is definitely not a truly independent practice!
That's right! Shen Hao just felt that the Beast Control School was not an independent practice like the "Yin Xiu" or "Charming School".
If it's not an independent doorway, what is it?
Shen Hao's opinion is that the so-called beast control school seems to be a very independent practice path and can be an independent school. However, after looking at its methods, he feels that beast control is not so much an independent practice school. , it would be more accurate to say that it is a branch of the system of evil monks.
In fact, after this idea came out, Shen Hao immediately felt that the evil monk Yu Shi's evil appearance could also be closer to the beast control school, or that both were born from the same source. The only difference is that one is to drive evil spirits, and the other is to control wild beasts and ferocious beasts.
Of course, we also have to count the method of "Soul Seizing".
Thinking more fundamentally, the basis of evil monks and beast masters seems to be the soul. Not to mention the evil monks, they just rely on soul methods. The same is true for beast control. If there is not enough soul, it is impossible to tame powerful ferocious beasts, and it is impossible to use the appropriate methods.
It's just that the techniques and techniques are just appearances after all, and what's inside is still unknown. The answer needs to be found from the techniques of the beast control school.
That jade slip with an animal head and a fish tail should be the beast-controlling technique practiced by Li Xinghe, and it should also be the basis for stringing together the various techniques and techniques on the jade book. However, jade slips are not simple things. After being absorbed, they will be imprinted into the sea of consciousness, so a safe and secluded environment is necessary. Shen Hao will use this thing in the secret room at home, and then carefully check out what other methods there are in the beast-controlling lineage.
If the inference is correct and beast control is a branch of the evil monk system, wouldn't it be possible to learn a lot about the evil monks' ways from the side?
Back home, there were still four people at the table during dinner, with the addition of Ning Ziyi.
The matter at Yueying Tower is indeed over, but the matter with Ning Ziyi is not over yet. What's more, now that the people in Yueying Tower outside are being killed, Ning Ziyi is naturally on pins and needles. And her current identity is the same as before. She still has two identities. One is a very famous piano master in the Jingjiu Dynasty, and the other is a secret agent of the Black Flag Camp of the Xuanqing Guard in the Jingjiu Dynasty.
Therefore, Ning Ziyi now calls Shen Hao "sir" when he meets her in private, and her salute is no longer a woman's ceremonial gesture, but a hand-over salute. At the same time, I was worried about where my spy would be used.
