Outside of Time

Xu Qing is very aware of the differences between himself and ordinary monks.

That is this body of my own.

Although this physical body belongs to him, it was shaped by the fingers of the gods back then. It was originally designed to be more suitable for his own integration. In the end, it was made for Xu Qing's wedding dress because of the purple crystal.

This is the body of a god.

"Although she is a bit ordinary, she is just a finger of one of the many clones of the Immortal Forbidden God. But her personality is still that of a God."

Xu Qing's eyes flashed, and he was thinking in his heart.

"So my physical eyes can also be said to be the eyes of gods to a certain extent."

"Then theoretically, I can see the world with the eyes of a god," Xu Qing murmured in his heart.

Xu Qing raised his hand, touched his eyebrows, and concentrated on sensing his soul, but his understanding of the soul was a bit lacking.

He just knew that the soul represented his own spirit, his own consciousness, and was a collection of his own nothingness.

The amount of mental power determines the strength of the soul.

As for the specifics, Xu Qing actually doesn't understand it very well. This is not something that needs to be studied at his level of cultivation.

But now, Xu Qing has realized the importance of the soul many times, and through a series of previous analyses, he has summarized the answer.

"Let the soul sublime and integrate the poison into it. In this way, I should be able to control the poison wherever I see it!"

"So, what exactly is a soul?"

Everyone has a different answer to this question.

Some people think it is formed by the aura on the body, some think it is the convergence of spirits, and some think it is an invisible ripple.

In short, everything is related to the ethereal.

Xu Qing closed his eyes, and the poisonous forbidden thoughts in his body dispersed, filling his sea of ​​consciousness, looking for his soul.

He can find it, because in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, at the end of the spirit, there is a group of light and fire composed of divine consciousness.

There is light and there is fire.

Light is the light of the soul, fire is the fire of life.

They blend together, as if they are the core of everything. If this place is changed, cognition will be affected. If it is extinguished, life will become black.

This is what Xu Qing thought of as the soul before.

But now, Xu Qing hesitated.

Because he tried to integrate his drug ban into the light and fire, he could clearly feel the shaking of the light and fire, and he could also clearly feel that it had indeed become one body after his drug ban.

But it didn't achieve the effect he wanted, and the next moment, they separated on their own.

It's as if all the integration is actually just the surface, just like this ball of fire is actually just a projection.

It may not be the source of the soul.

Xu Qing was silent.

Time passed little by little, and seven days passed while Xu Qing was thinking.

In the past seven days, Xu Qing's body had visibly lost weight. His continuous thinking and uninterrupted exploration did not bring him answers, but only brought about mental atrophy and exhaustion of breath.

"Monks are different from ordinary people. Monks have Nascent Soul and spiritual consciousness. Even in my current state, they can seize the body.

"After taking away the body, I am still me, so the soul cannot be in the body!"

Xu Qing frowned and recalled how the gods' fingers had seized his body before. At that time, he remembered that he felt that his soul was being consumed and his consciousness was dissipating.

"It's time to experiment."

Xu Qing raised his head, with persistence in his eyes. He had to figure out what the soul was, and only in this way could he complete the next step of integrating the poison.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and was about to send his spiritual message to Shadow, but was interrupted.

The shadow has been frightened these days. It noticed that Xu Qing became more and more terrifying after being pointed out by the prince, and the change in his aura was also the same.

Seeing that Xu Qing seemed to be giving him an order, it hurriedly listened, but after waiting for a long time, Xu Qing did not give the order.

"Li Yougui!" Xu Qing thought for a while and sent a message to Li Yougui from the outside world.

Li Yougui, who was doing odd jobs in the lobby, looked at the back room where Xu Qing was and bowed after hearing this, turned around and headed straight to the outside world.

That night, Li Yougui returned, carrying a middle-aged monk and placing him in front of Xu Qing.

"My lord, this man is a murderer from the Kusheng Mountains. He commits adultery, robbery, and commits all kinds of evil. Because he is attached to the ancestor of Mogui, no one in Pingyouli punishes him."

Li Yougui spoke respectfully.

Xu Qing lowered his head and glanced. He was a middle-aged man who cultivated Jindan, not a human race.

There was a scar on his face, which looked very ferocious, and the smell of blood on his body was very strong.

Xu Qing nodded. He knew that Li Yougao would not dare to deceive him unless he was tired of living, so he waved him away. Then he looked at the unconscious middle-aged monk in front of him and raised his right hand to press his forehead.

The next moment his spiritual consciousness poured in, and all his breath and fluctuations entered the monk's body along with his spiritual consciousness, and even his Nascent Soul transformed and penetrated.

Start taking over!

The next moment, in Xu Qing's perception, he came to a sea of ​​​​consciousness that was not very bright. There were six heavenly palaces shining with ordinary light. With the appearance of Xu Qing, these six heavenly palaces trembled.

Xu Qing didn't have any emotional fluctuations. His consciousness spread, covering the entire sea of ​​consciousness, looking for the other party's soul, the ball of light and fire. He quickly found it and pounced on it.

In the blink of an eye, the fire of the light ball twisted, and screams and wails came from it. Countless memories poured into Xu Qing's consciousness, and he saw the life of this cultivator.

Scenes emerge one after another, from birth to now, some are lost in the lake, and some are clear.

But no matter what, they are all disappearing under Xu Qing's devouring, as if they were taken away by Xu Qing.

Until a moment later, the middle-aged monk who was lying there suddenly opened his eyes, stood up expressionlessly, and looked at the cross-legged body, with thoughts in his eyes.

"Is this body seizing?" the middle-aged monk murmured, feeling a sense of discomfort all over his body, as if he was wearing a dress that was one size smaller.

But he was subconsciously familiar with the clothes, and the reason for the scars on his face was very clear. Even when Xu Qing closed his eyes, all the past of this body could slowly emerge.

It's just insignificant and can be erased by him at any time. Even after it is erased, Xu Qing feels that he will feel more comfortable.

Xu Qing's body suddenly shook as this person's recognition emerged, and his eyes suddenly opened.

"memory?"

"I seem to understand a little bit. If the soul is a synthesis of life, breath and spirit, then it is indeed ethereal. It can also be said to be a real body composed of countless unrealities!"

"And the moment life is born, a kind of perception of oneself and the outside world actually forms a memory!"

"If the soul is compared to a blank bamboo slip, then the memory is the words on it, they are one!"

"So when I was trying to seize the body, although I couldn't feel the other person's soul being devoured due to my cultivation, I could clearly feel the other person's memory being devoured."

"For ordinary people, memory dissipates after death, just like being split, so even if the soul enters the underworld, it is still confused. This is the performance of the dead souls. Their memories are fragmented and cruel."

Xu Qing breathed rapidly, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and in the next moment all the consciousness in his body broke away and returned to his original body.

The main body's eyes opened and closed, revealing a hint of enlightenment.

"The soul is life, and my answer may not be right. This needs to be explored and confirmed as I continue to cultivate."

"But... I can be sure now that memory is the thickness of the soul, the scale of the soul, the carrier of the soul, and the breath of the soul!"

"That is to say, if I want the drug ban to be contained in my soul, so that the drug ban will start as far as I can see, then what I have to do is to deepen the drug ban to the extreme in my memory!"

"I want to change my memory so that the concept of drug prohibition will be born from the moment I was born, and let it remain in my memory until now!" Xu Qing murmured.

At this moment, Xu Qing didn't know that the lobby, which was separated by a curtain, was cut into another space due to the presence of the prince.

In this space, his murmur is being repeated by the parrot.

"Throughout this day!"

The parrot was obviously involved in Xu Qing's emotions. At this moment, his voice echoed with excitement and excitement.

Ling'er's little face was full of worry, and she looked at the back room. She felt that Brother Xu Qing had been a little crazy during this period.

Wu Jianwu also took a breath, and similar thoughts to Ling'er arose in his heart. He thought Xu Qing was crazy, and normal people would not think about issues such as souls and memories.

Especially for this question, even after listening to the parrot retelling it, he was still confused.

"I know every word Xu Qing said, but why can't I understand it after they are connected together? What is he talking about... Wu Jianwu was at a loss. It shouldn't be his problem, so he looked towards Others found that Li Yougao was just as confused as himself. "

The difference was that Li Yougui's confusion was also a little more frightened. Obviously, he was worried that Xu Qing would one day conduct such an experiment on himself.

Ning Yan, on the other hand, was horrified, and there was a big wave in his heart.

Because he heard similar words from his father...but he never expected that Xu Qing could actually say similar words at the level of Nascent Soul.

He could feel that these were really analyzed and understood by Xu Qing himself.

The captain's eyes were thoughtful, his smile was bright, and his heart was humming softly.

"Little Ah Qing, senior brother brought you to this Moon Sacrifice Territory not just to swallow the Red Mother...this will be the place where you and I can soar!"

As for You Jing, she was silent now. She looked complicatedly at the back room where Xu Qing was, and a thought arose in her heart.

"Is this Xu Qing, like me, the soul of a certain person in the past?"

Everyone had different thoughts, but when their hearts were in turmoil, the prince smiled. He was not surprised by Xu Qing's understanding this time, everything was within his expectation. He had predicted before that with Xu Qing's understanding, he would definitely be able to realize this step.

"This is the difference between me and this young master. His master has limited knowledge, so it's not easy to give guidance. It's not his fault. If everyone can carve such a jade, it won't be a jade anymore. Prince Standing up with a smile, he knew that in the next step, the other party would think of his power of cognitive change, and he would also give Xu Qing a choice."

"An outsider uses cognition to change the memory. This method is not perfect. It cannot enter the subconscious. It can only stay on the surface. It will have my imprint on his soul. The advantage is that it can be poisonous in his eyes."

"With this kid's character, he probably won't agree, so with my second method, the probability that he will agree is high."

Just as the prince was about to leave, the parrot suddenly spoke and repeated Xu Qing's words in the back room.

"There is only one way to do this!"

"That is to leave countless poisonous marks on my body, making every piece of my flesh, every drop of blood, and every inch of my bones contain poison!"

"I can't change the memory, but it's not just experience and cognition that make up memory, but also the body's instinct!"

"Bring the poison into the instinct of my body, and use the instinct to reversely overwrite the memory!"

"My eyes also need to be refined again, and finally rely on all the reactions of the physical body to give back an eternal message to the memory."

"I'm poisonous!"

Xu Qing's eyes sparkled and her essence was inspiring.

In the lobby, everyone was dumbfounded, and Ling'er became even more worried. Ning Yan took a breath, the captain moved, the prince paused, and sat down again silently.

"There is no need for me to change my cognition...this kid...is he changing his cognition on his own?"
