Volume VII, Chapter 120: The Cause of Life (5)
Wangxiang stood in place in astonishment, of course, he was already in a soul state, he lowered his head, looked at his corpse, unable to accept his death, it had come in such a way.
"Nope! I'm not dead! "The soul of Wangxiang burrowed back into the body.
Seeing this scene, the pen immediately made a little trick to let Wangxiang's soul and body merge, but outside the Seven Stars Qitian Array, his death was not recognized, but in the array, he was in the state of death, so after Wangxiang's soul and body were fused, they would immediately separate again, and this process would be repeated continuously.
Wangxiang's survival instinct awakened his ability to absorb and devour, every time he fused with his body, the vitality of all the plants and trees in the abyss of the Sword King Pavilion would be scavenged, and after a dozen times, the plants and trees withered, and the absorbed vitality was integrated into his body, but because there was no grasp of his body's vitality, all of them were scattered again, making a large amount of vitality floating in the abyss.
Again and again, until the night passed, and in the early morning of the next day, in the Seven Stars Deception Array, Wangxiang was still trying to be reborn again and again.
Another half day passed, and the vitality in the abyss was no longer active, and Wangxiang's corpse was no longer cold, but it no longer flashed vitality, because its soul no longer tried to enter its body.
The soul was formless, unable to even sit down against something, he could only float in despair on top of his corpse, the feeling was maddening, there was no gravity, no sense and no meaning of existence.
Wangxiang, who wants to cry and is incompetent, seems to have finally accepted his death.
Bizuo sighed and said, "This guy, haven't you thought about what your abilities are? I've never practiced seriously. In desperation, the pen had no choice but to appear in front of the soul and guide it personally.
Wangxiang saw the pen, but thought that the penwork could not see himself, who expected the penwork to look at his soul body, and said: "Child, have you given up?" β
Wangxiang was stunned, and immediately said angrily: "Why kill me!" As soon as he finished speaking, his arrogance stopped, yes, it was obviously he who broke into the Sword King Pavilion by himself, his strength was insufficient, and he was killed by the strong, what is there to regret, didn't he kill many people with poor strength?
He bowed his head again, waiting for the verdict of the Yellow Spring or the underworld.
The pen said: "Child, what is life, do you understand? You should be the one who has the best view of life in the world. β
Seeing that Wangxiang was so desperate that he was autistic, Bizuo had to squat down and click on the heart of Wangxiang's corpse, and suddenly, this body "lived", the heart began to beat, the blood began to flow, and the nose began to breathe.
Seeing this scene, the soul of Wangxiang immediately recovered its spirit and immediately burrowed into the body, but unfortunately, he was still dead, and the soul and body were separated again.
Wangxiang thinks that the pen is playing with himself, and he is humiliated and angry, but he can't do anything.
Pointing to the body, he said, "This body is alive, but it has no life, it is not a living body, it can only be called a living body." After a pause, he then asked, "Child, what is life, is your ability really just an absorption of life?" Let's take a closer look. β
The pen pulled out a dead grass from the soil, and he only gently stroked the withered yellow leaves, and then looked at Wangxiang with a smile.
Wangxiang didn't understand what he wanted to express, and said: "Try again, don't save yourself, in that short time, observe how life came about." β
During the short period of "resurrection", Wangxiang really gave up saving himself, and instead observed the withered grass in the hands of the pen, the grass is actually dead under the rules of nature, but it has life, and it is a very energetic vitality.
After the soul and body were separated again, the pen asked Wangxiang to return the vitality of the grass to it, so after the "resurrection" again, Wangxiang poured a lot of vitality into the dead grass, the dead grass became tender and green, and it was full of vitality, but at this time Wangxiang found that the grass was dead in the sense of life, and it had no life.
And when the soul of Wangxiang was separated, the grass that had no vitality, only vitality, slowly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wangxiang said: "Only with vitality can the vitality be stable, such as my body, although it is breathing, but there is no vitality, what is vitality? β
The pen laughed and said, "That's what you have to realize, your own wayβthe cause of life." After that, the figure of the pen slowly disappeared, and before leaving, he left a message, "You have six days left, and after six days, you will die, ending the cycle of this life." β
In the silent abyss, there is only one soul left, a "living" corpse, the matter has come to this, Wangxiang has to be resurrected again and again, to explore the law of vitality, but as soon as the pen is gone, the plants and trees in the abyss that have been extracted from life have become dead things, even if they are given life, they will wither after a while.
Wangxiang took himself as the object of experimentation, and in the resurrection and death again and again, he felt the distribution and flow of vitality in the body.
Why do people have life, it is strange to say, one head, two arms and two legs, pressed on the body, can be alive, but why do people have life? If a stone and a pile of clay make up the appearance of a human body, why can't it be equally alive and jumping?
Only then did Wangxiang realize that he had felt the living beings before, but he only felt the vitality, or used the vitality to judge the existence or absence of the living beings, so that the living beings should not be defined by the vitality or whether they are alive or not.
Wangxiang silently recited in his heart: "Yin Tong Baida, Prison Pool Weiyi, sudden advance does not stop, slowly return to the top..."This is the way of the acupoints that Wei Lao once handed over to him, when he was in the dilapidated acupoint vein pattern, he was reborn as a baby acupoint, and cast the "star line" little by little, casting the acupoints into the most suitable appearance for himself.
For cultivators, when they see a living being, the first thing they see is actually the special acupoint veins in the body of the living being, as if they are not old, and they can see through all the details of the other party at a glance.
Wangxiang realized that the vitality was like the acupuncture vein, it was special, and the vitality of the living beings was similar, once absorbed, they were all exactly the same, but when they were in the body of the living beings, Wangxiang could feel their difference. If the vitality is a kind of acupuncture vein, and the vitality is the "star line" or "galaxy" that flows into the acupuncture vein, then in this way, we can explain the "living" corpse that is now lying under our soul.
If a person has acupuncture points and veins but does not have "star lines" and "milky ways" (as explained in the third volume, it refers to the star lines flowing through the acupoints and the Milky Way-like things, similar to blood in blood vessels), then he cannot live, let alone practice, and if the vitality cannot enter according to the veins of life force, then it still cannot constitute life.
Wangxiang remembered that in the mountains, the flowing wind shadows, and the grass with dozens of phantoms floating, he realized that the vitality of living beings is divided into many kinds, and the longing of living beings for life has also become a kind of vitality, and now his thinking has changed, and the thinking of living beings, or "business" is not vitality, but a part of vitality, or a form of expression of acupoints. And vitality is pure, just like pure energy without any miscellaneous arts, it is an appendage of vitality.
By the way, how did he come back to life and give birth to the baby's acupuncture vein? I remembered that the method of not getting old at that time was right, but unfortunately the acupoints and veins of Wangxiang's body were special, which led to the destruction of its acupoints and veins, and the loss of vitality.
Wei Lao once said to Wangxiang that the rebirth of the acupuncture veins is almost a fantasy, and there is still room for operation in fine-tuning, but the human acupoints have been formed since birth, and the reason why Wangxiang can be reborn as a baby's acupoints can only be that from birth to that time, the acupoints have not been formed, or they have not begun to be plastic at all.
In connection with the explanation given by the young man back then, Wangxiang realized that from the moment he was born, his innate ability began to be released, and a large amount of vitality that was absorbed rushed into his body, causing his acupuncture veins to be pressed back before they were formed, so when the countless vitality in his body was hollowed out, the acupuncture veins were plastic.
If that's the case, Wangxiang won't be able to do it again.
"What if the path of the acupuncture veins is the cause of life?" This thought flashed in Wangxiang's mind, he pulled up the grass one by one, and used the vitality to pour into a small hole left in the blocked acupuncture veins, so as to break through the acupuncture points, and the flow in the acupuncture veins is indeed alive...
Wangxiang couldn't wait, he had a thought, immediately integrated into the body, at the moment of resurrection, and the moment of death again, he found the problem, vitality in the body without vitality, is flat, there are no rules at all, but in the moment after his resurrection, almost all the vitality will flow due to different gravitational forces everywhere, but this flow is chaotic and hasty, just like in the barn of countless grains of wheat, there are hundreds of pipes, but the mouth of the pipes is closed, at the moment of opening, Some of the wheat grains will pour into the pipes, but more of them will not flow, and the vitality will not be able to enter the "pipes" of the life force, so life will end again.
"The acupuncture veins, the acupuncture veins of human beings, the acupuncture veins of living beings, are they the shell of life force!" If there is no vitality flow in the acupuncture veins, people will die immediately, and the vitality flow of vitality must also be carried out in a regular manner, if the two are really the same?
Wangxiang knew what was wrong with him, and he began to resurrect, die, resurrect and die.... In each short period of time, he would seal the acupuncture veins of his body one by one, and at this moment, he would find a direction for the flow of countless grains of wheat (vitality) that had been poured into his body.
