Situ Yao looked at Cao An as if facing a god of plague.
You have been exiled by the chaos of space so many times. Don’t you have any psychological points? You dare to come close to me. Do you still want my merchant ship?
Cao An also realized the reason. Although there is no basis for this, people must instinctively stay away from him, for fear that it will affect him again.
"Sorry, the place I'm going to next is also Qingfeng County. Thank you for letting me know. I'll go first." After saying that, Cao An didn't care, and distanced himself from Situ Yao, speeding across the sea with the air control skills of the heaven and human realm. , and soon disappeared from Situ Yao's sight.
"Miss, we..."
Situ Yao waved her hand, "Slow down. We should keep a certain distance from him. It doesn't matter if we arrive a few days late. It's still early before the agreed delivery date."
"clear."
…
On the other side, Cao An noticed that the merchant ship behind him had slowed down, so he no longer tried to hide it. Feng Xu Yufeng used the Great Void Step and transformed into a stream of light in the air, shooting straight towards the shore. He guessed that the merchant ship The reason for stopping could only be an apology, because apart from the spatial confusion, he could not explain the reason why he suddenly appeared there.
When he first arrived, he didn't want to attract attention. Now, his understanding of the Central Empire is still in books.
He couldn't wait to find a place to rest. Although he didn't see Alaya's corpse in the giant metal creation, a white dot as small as dust fell into his conscious world. He didn't dare to do it now. If you mess around with that spot of light easily, it is the spot of light that comes from the corpse of Alaya.
After being compressed, my sea of consciousness is not much larger than that light spot.
'Previous Life' As a Taoist priest, Cao An also knew something about Alaya Consciousness. It is the place where all memories and consciousnesses in the world are stored. This is not only what a person has experienced in his life, but also includes the person. The cognition of things, instincts and some habits are almost the sum of all consciousness in life in the world.
And our subconscious is deeply affected by the Alaya consciousness. The subconscious is part of the Alaya consciousness. When someone faces something, he will have an instinctive feeling telling him what to do, but he really doesn’t know what to do. I truly know that I have never experienced such a thing, and if I follow my 'feeling', it is actually the Alaya Consciousness that is at work.
In a way, this is understandable. For example, the stronger the mental power of a person, the stronger his premonition and inspiration. This is because the stronger his mental power, the greater the influence of Alaya Consciousness on him. Big, after all, his memories and behavioral habits from life to life are stored there. If he has no experience in this life, there will always be similar experiences in his Alaya Consciousness.
If there really is such a thing as reincarnation.
This is why Cao An dare not touch it easily, for fear that once touched, this information will directly flood his consciousness. When outside, it is still too dangerous in an unconscious state.
Cao An completed the treasure ship's journey of several days in one day, and arrived at Qingfeng County at night. The lights here were bright, and it was even more lively at night. It was comparable to the "previous life" in Cao An's memory, but it was completely different. It's like an 'ancient' city, with people selling snacks everywhere on the street.
Among the major taverns, the lights were bright and the people were bustling. Of course, there were also the taverns that were relatively gentle, reciting poems and talking softly. After Cao An entered the city, he was slightly surprised for a while and found an inn.
"Does the guest want to stay in the hotel?"
"Give me a room." Cao An spoke at the stall and looked at everything around him. He noticed from the moment he stepped into Qingfeng County that everything here was still in the style of 'ancient architecture', but the use of The materials are not at all like those seen in the Yin Dynasty.
There are traces of technological civilization everywhere in cities and streets, such as zebra crossings, cement floors, ancient buildings made of concrete structures, etc... The same is true here. The counter where the waiter is standing is illuminated, and the whole thing is memory. Fortunately, the boy's clothes were still the same in the "Ancient City", otherwise Cao An would have thought that he had really encountered a space disorder and returned directly to the world in his memory.
"Does the guest have any fish charms?"
"Fish charm?"
There was a smile on the boy's lips, "The guest doesn't know what the fish talisman is, so he must have just come from another dynasty, right?"
Cao An nodded, somewhat understanding. This should be the 'identity certificate' in the Central Empire, that is, the road guide. However, during the Great Yin period, this thing was of little use, basically useless, and it was not a fixed place. For farmers who make a living from the land, road guides are dispensable to them.
And Da Yin Guan Yao will basically not check this thing.
"Without the fish charm, guests can only stay in a herringbone room at most, and the charges will be slightly higher. Here is your room key. Go up to the third floor, the fourth room from the left. Chenghui will give you one tael of silver."
Cao An took out a tael of silver and asked, "How much would it cost if I had a fish charm?"
"If you have a fish talisman, you can stay in the herringbone house for four hundred coins. Guests can go to the embassy tomorrow to get the fish talisman. The empire is a tolerant place and welcomes all warriors from all major dynasties. I believe that in this fertile martial arts land , you can all get what you want.”
Cao An was stunned for a moment, "Is this your own idea?"
The boy smiled and touched his head, "No, these are what our shopkeeper taught us. If we meet other dynasty warriors like you, our guest, we must say this. This is the sixth time I have said this. In short, many guests cannot tell whether they are from other dynasties."
"How long will our fish charms last?"
"It can be used all the time. This fish talisman is very important. You will know when the guests get used to it. Whether it is a Fanka or a Wuka, they are all linked to the personal fish talisman."
"What are Fanka and Wuka?"
"Actually, it is a certificate given by Imperial Bank. For most people, it is inconvenient to bring money with them, so they can deposit money into Imperial Bank and use the card as a voucher. As long as there is an Imperial Bank, you can You can deposit and withdraw at will, at any Imperial Bank in any place. As for the difference between the two, the ordinary card stores worldly gold and silver, and the martial card stores the warrior essence."
Cao And touched an extra tael of silver and said, "Thank you for letting me know."
The waiter's eyes lit up, he put away the money, thanked him, and stepped out from behind the counter, leading Cao An upstairs.
After entering the room, he told the good boy not to pay attention to him if he didn't say hello, then he closed the door and immediately placed a barrier in the room. He sat cross-legged and adjusted his mental state. His breathing changed clearly and measurably. It was smooth and even, and after another quarter of an hour, the presence of breathing was almost no longer felt in the whole body.
Switching from external breathing to internal breathing, the state of the soul also reaches its best state at this time.
In the sea of consciousness, that little white dust stopped in the void, emitting a faint white halo like a firefly. Cao An slowly leaned forward and reached out to touch the light spot. In an instant, a white light flashed and illuminated In a space less than one foot square, a piece of information flows into it.
'After such a big battle for a long time, is this just a little bit of information, the Spiritual Steel Meditation Method? '
The information was quickly digested in the sea of consciousness. This piece of information was not much. With Cao An's current mental strength, although he could not see Alaya yet, absorbing this information was not a problem.
This is a method of spiritual training. Its core is to use Alaya's ability to compress the sea of consciousness to compress all the mental power filled in the sea of consciousness into a liquid state. This is the first step, and only this step can be completed. Only then can we enter the formal practice of spiritual steel.
The second step is to simulate the power of Alaya Consciousness, and dig and open up the entire sea of consciousness, because the previous liquid spirit has been injected into it. The follow-up is to focus on this point, in the form of meditation and excavation, to cultivate the spirit. Strength, strengthen spiritual power, until the entire sea of consciousness becomes a true ocean of spiritual power.
From the information, we learned that that civilization was not like it is now. There were many kinds of cultivation methods, and they were extremely conservative and precious. This spiritual steel meditation method was the pinnacle of the entire civilization, ranging from high-ranking officials to common people. The common people all practice this set of methods. The only difference is the way they use to strengthen their spiritual power.
Naturally, there is a difference between the growth rate of his spiritual power and the rate of opening up the sea of consciousness.
But overall, they are actually divided into two types, one is penance and the other is medicine.
Cao An was silent. There is no doubt that the pinnacle of a civilization and the practice guide popular among the public must be powerful. After its peak, it will definitely not be inferior to the current peak of martial arts, but these are two different things. System, its practice methods are fundamentally different due to cognitive reasons.
The biggest difference is that the Alaya civilization used spiritual power alone, while martial arts practice blended spiritual power with martial arts will. What ultimately needs to be catered to is the soul of the warrior, turning it into a Yin god and strengthening the Yin. God, at that point, Yin Shen cooperates with the power of heaven and earth, and can simply use the art of communicating with gods.
It’s just that this hodgepodge seems to want to take care of everything, and in the end it leads to another path. With only one spiritual power, it is definitely not as good as the Alaya civilization...
