C8 Primordial Spirit Going out
"Alright, let's all go back first. Now that Cashew Liu and Third Brother Wang have given their orders, the next thing to do is to find Soo Juan and we'll set up an opening in the afternoon. If you want to help, then come and help." Grandfather said to everyone.
When the villagers heard this, they all went home in twos and threes. That Old Third Wang and Liu Pai's bodies were all taken away by their families, while that young man's body was also found by Boss Gao and wrapped in some white cloth, as if saying that he would be sent back to the city.
After everyone had left, Grandfather looked at me and told me to go out. Grandfather then brought me to the Gou family's ancestral hall, the other families in the village all shared a ancestral hall between several families, only my grandfather and I monopolized the entire ancestral hall. Furthermore, from the looks of the ancestral hall, it seemed that the Gou family only had one inheritance and only two generations of brothers and sisters.
"Huaizu, kneel down!"
Hearing this, I immediately knelt on the prayer mat in the middle of the hall. Grandpa also knelt on the prayer mat beside me.
Grandfather looked devoutly at the ancestral tablets of the Gou family, and with a sorrowful expression, he started to beg for forgiveness. I only paid attention to the first sentence, "Father, I am unfilial."
I didn't come back to my senses until Pappy picked me up and sneaked me out.
"Huaizu, give grandpa some more blood." Grandfather took out a bowl from nowhere and looked at me in a daze.
Looking at the bowl, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. Such a large bowl with my hands is more than enough. If I were to put so much blood on it, wouldn't I have to become a desiccated corpse like Sister Xiujuan?
I scratched my head and looked at my grandfather. "Grandpa …" That big bowl... He's fat, and he has a lot of meat, and he has a lot of blood. I heard from the TV that people get high blood pressure when they get fat, so if you give him a bowl of blood, he might be more energetic. "I'm different. I'm skinny, and if you take my blood, I'll turn into a mummy."
Grandfather rolled his eyes and lightly tapped me on the head with his pipe. He scolded me with a smile, "Brat, who told you to put out a bowl of blood? "I just need a drop, and it has to be your blood. If anyone's blood could do it, I would have used my own long ago."
"Oh." As usual, I pretended to bite the tip of my finger. As expected, a drop of blood seeped out of the tip of my finger and fell into the bowl.
Grandfather took a small bottle from the side. It was filled with the rain he had received earlier, and it was even water he had placed in the courtyard. It was unlike the eaves which were filled with water when the rain came from the neighboring houses.
After his grandfather filled the bowl with half a bowl of rain, he took the bowl and walked outside to the chicken coop. He grabbed the big rooster in the chicken coop and pinched it in his hand, took out a knife and cut the top of the chicken head, letting out a drop of blood into the bowl.
"You are born in the yin and yang, yin and yang, yin and yang, so your blood is the blood of the yin, and this crown of chickens is the blood of the yang. It is said that the fusion of yin and yang can evolve the heavens and earth, although that is an exaggeration, but it is still very useful." Grandfather said to me, "I know two ways of finding people. One is the kind of item that we use to find pockmarks on the night before, it usually requires the body of the missing person. The other is to feel the surroundings after the Yin and Yang meet."
As soon as his grandfather finished speaking, he began to chant an incantation. His two hands formed complicated hand seals as they quickly rotated, creating afterimages. It was as if a lotus flower had bloomed in his grandfather's hands, dazzling everyone.
"Yin Yang Evolution!" His grandfather lightly said, coldly and deeply. The water in the bowl began to swirl at a high speed, like a whirlpool. Only after a while did it calm down.
His grandfather rested for a while as he held the bowl in front of him and closed his eyes. After a while, he frowned and opened his eyes, "As expected, my cultivation experience is still inferior to that of that mysterious person. I've only found Xiujuan's position, but I am completely unable to sense that mysterious person's position."
"Come, hold it." Pappy handed the bowl to me. "Then start to focus on the water in this bowl. Don't think about anything else."
I grabbed the bowl as my grandfather had told me to, closed my eyes, and immersed myself in the bowl.
Then I felt as if I were floating, flying out of the room. I was shocked and woke up with a jolt. I realised that I was still standing in my room and my grandfather was looking at me with a smile that was not a smile.
"Grandfather, just now … I feel like I'm going to fly. " I looked at my grandfather with lingering fear.
"Don't be afraid, that's not you, it's your primordial spirit. It's said that the ancestor's primordial spirit can leave the body at any time, sense every inch of land in the world, and even control him to do things. We cannot release our consciousness, but we can temporarily release it using the mixture of yin and yang as a medium to sense the world around us."
Looking at my grandfather's serious expression and the fact that I just experienced it myself, I couldn't help but start to believe it … Not sure... Teacher was wrong! Although I don't understand what grandpa is saying, but this kind of don't understand is usually the most powerful, like English.
"Try again. This time, do not be afraid. Relax. Do not divert your attention to other places." Pappy looked at me and gave me an encouraging look.
I gripped the bowl again, then concentrated, and then the feeling of flying again, but this time I listened to my grandfather and didn't turn my attention away.
When I felt myself drifting up to the roof, I felt the whole village. It was a strange feeling, as if I had imagined the whole village in my mind, but every inch of it was there.
Only one person could not be seen!
All I could see was yellow mists in the village, big and small, bright and dark, and in my house — where my grandfather and I were standing — there was a yellow mist with a pale orange glow and a smaller, more transparent yellow mist.
This yellow fog should be a person, and that pale orange fog should be my grandfather, and I am the smaller one, but why would I be transparent? It might have something to do with my Supreme Yin Body.
Grandfather is also different from ordinary people, he has a pale orange light, I think this is probably because Grandfather is a Taoist, and I heard that Taoists are people with destiny.
Once I understood what was going on with me and my grandfather, my perspective turned elsewhere.
The rest of them were basically a normal yellow color, but there were differences in strength between the two groups. One of them was the green ball of light at the foot of the Dirty Maiden Peak, while the other was at Xiujuan Sis' house. At first glance, there wasn't much of a difference, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a tinge of green mixed within! Furthermore, it was an extremely dazzling cyan color. Even a tiny bit of it was enough to dazzle the eyes.
How is this different from the rest of us? It was actually mixed in with such an eye-catching green color.
Am I seeing things!?
I focused my mind. I wanted to keep looking, but I felt someone tugging at me. My primordial spirit immediately returned to my body.
"Two eyes is enough!" Grandfather stood beside me and pointed at the clock beside me. "It's almost time. Everyone's coming. We'll be going out in a while."
"You should have also seen those balls of light, right?" Grandfather nodded when he saw me and continued.
Those balls of light represent life, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, blue, purple. Those balls of light represent normal lives, not just humans, but other living beings' intelligence are too low, and the color of those balls of light they form is too faint.
"We can only sense a little bit of them when they're around. For example, the 'Maid Peak' you saw just now should be light yellow in color, or perhaps you didn't notice at all, because the color was too light. If you didn't look carefully before knowing it, you wouldn't have been able to see it at all."
I nodded my head. I hadn't really noticed Embarrassed Maiden Peak before, but now that Grandpa said it, I seemed to have some impression of it.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more the color is biased towards red. It's said that when the color becomes completely red, it can soar into the sky and become a deity, but that's only a legend. The ancestors only wore a hint of red, and the ancestors never even heard of red.
"Green, green, blue, and purple represent monsters, ghosts, demons, and devils respectively." His grandfather said, "The darker the color of the same reason, the brighter it is, the higher the cultivation experience, the stronger it is."
I suddenly thought of the green, bright green I saw at Sister Soo Juan's house!
