Back in the village, the afternoon practice was spiritual mantras. Yu Zhuanjin had already arranged all the twelve hours of the day, leaving himself almost no extra free time except for sleeping and eating. This made Yunhe scared. If you ask what can make a person so persistent, I'm sure 70% of the answers will be negative. The harder Yu Zhuanjin tried, the more Yun He felt that the other person had some psychological problems. "Yuzhongjin, how do you feel about your recent practice of spiritual spells? Have you made any new progress?" Yun He wanted to persuade the other party to pay more attention to rest. In case he overworked himself due to practice, it would be counterproductive. So she found a topic and walked up to talk to him. "I have some inspiration, but lack some common sense, so there is no progress for the time being." Putting his hand on his chin, Yu Zhuanjin thought. She had benefited a lot from listening to Yun He talk about knowledge about curses before, but the content was too profound. It was like she clearly wanted to learn the four arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but the other party was telling her the concept of calculus. That's probably what it feels like.
"Yeah, yeah, it's okay! Yuzhuanjin, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. There's no progress for now... Eh? What did you say just now? Did you get an inspiration?" Yun He was of course aware that it would be very difficult for an ordinary witch to comprehend the principles of spiritual spells in the beginning, let alone three to five days, even thirty to fifty days, so he subconsciously tried to comfort her. But halfway through his words, he suddenly felt something was not right. After hearing what Yu Zhuanjin said, it seemed that the other party had found a solution. "Wait, wait a minute! Yuzhongjin, you can ask me any questions you have now, and I will answer them without hesitation." Yun He suddenly became excited, as if it was not Yu Zhuanjin who found the feeling, but she. Why? To be able to find the idea in such a short time, this understanding must be full, and the talent is much better than any genius. If she can train the other party into an excellent witch. That sense of accomplishment, needless to say? "Yunhe, I remember you once said that the curse is invisible, formless, and impure. It is a concept that cannot be described by any known common sense." After thinking for a while, Yuzhongjin spoke. "That's right. It's neither language nor words nor patterns. It doesn't even exist." In response, Yunhe nodded slightly. “But it can appear before our eyes in the form of text or pictures.” "You're right, it exists and it doesn't exist, and that's why we find it so complex and profound." “No, maybe it’s not complicated, it’s just that we are thinking about the problem in the wrong direction.” But Yuzhongjin shook his head to express his denial and said: "I have a guess, just a guess, the great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki once told Boya that the shortest curse in the world is our name." "Did he say that?" Hearing this, Yun He was slightly stunned. But what he said seems to make sense, as expected of a household name in Japan. "He said so." Although it was in the novel. Yuzhongjin nodded confidently, and then continued: "The curse may be very simple. It is not that it does not exist, but that everything in this world is a curse. Therefore, we have the illusion that it does not exist." "What does that mean?"
Yun He frowned slightly, feeling that this content was a bit beyond her scope. "Just like the original words and language, which allow us to communicate with each other today, and the later patterns are just a means to redefine the past curses, but from the beginning to the end, there is always one thing that has never changed, and that is the meaning of the curse." "What is the meaning of the curse?" "Yes, fire is always hot, and ice cannot be separated from cold. They are like this by nature, and we define them like this. Therefore, the spiritual spells today never allow cold fire to appear, nor hot ice." "That's true, but I still don't understand it." "The curse is a kind of bondage, but it binds us instead of others. You once said that power is subjective, and subjective power should be easy to get out of control. However, the consequences of that are simply unimaginable. So how can we control it?" "You mean, a curse?" Yunhe gave the answer. "Who knows~" Yuzhongjin did not give an answer, because all this was just her accidental guess. Then she continued: "When Abe Haruaki was still alive, he created a new curse seal, which is the Platycodon seal that we are all familiar with. But in fact, we all know that the Platycodon flower itself does not have such an effect, so why is the curse seal effective?" "Because it is cursed?" Yunhe spoke out his inner thoughts. "Yes, but not entirely right." Yuzhongjin concluded: "It is the meaning. Abe Haruaki first gave the Kikyo Seal the meaning of exorcism, and this meaning was later accepted and spread by the world and turned into a curse. The so-called curse is not profound, it is just the power of the human heart." It’s like creating a god. People believe that God exists and give Him meaning, and thus God is born. They also believed that God had great power and could protect them, so God had all kinds of abilities. This is the god born out of faith. Perhaps this is also why God wants faith. The curse accumulated by thousands of people has already exceeded common sense. "I, I don't know if your guess is correct, because it is completely contrary to what I know, but I have no way to refute it..." In the end, Yunhe could only sigh. My knowledge blind spot has been exposed. "Based on the fictitious theory, I conducted an empirical analysis. I'm sorry, Yunhe, for not telling you in advance that I had actually done a test based on that hypothesis without authorization." After that, Yu Zhongjin stretched out his hand, summoned the golden divine fire, and continued: "And this is the result." Yun He took a look and his gaze was fixed there, his eyes were filled with astonishment. It was clearly fire, but why did it feel cold? Unable to believe it, Yun He stretched out a hand and decided to test the cold flame, and then he felt a pain in his fingertips, not a burn, but frostbite. She was actually frozen by the flames... "Incredible, Yuzhongjin, although I don't understand what's going on now, it is undeniable that you succeeded."
Yun He's expression immediately became extremely complicated. Volume 20 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter The Characteristics of Spiritual Power, the Power of Truth …… Thinking back to the beginning, it took her half a year to accomplish what she had done, but now Yu Zhuanjin has surpassed her in less than seven days. The latter's thinking seems to be in another dimension, with an absolute ability to understand and surpass the thinking of this era. All of them crushed her, the so-called genius. Even more than that... Before, Yun He had focused all his attention on the cold flame controlled by the other party. When he came to his senses, he realized that Yu Zhuanjin's control over spiritual power had actually improved further! "No way~ Your control over spiritual power has improved by half a percent without you noticing. Is it because you understand the concept of the spell?" In this regard, Yun He could only sigh in his heart that the priestess who bore the name of God and received the blessing of God was truly extraordinary. "……Have it?" But Yu Zhuanjin didn't feel anything at all, because she hadn't deliberately trained in this area recently, or she didn't understand it at all. But, half done? This subtle amplitude reminded Yu Zhongjin of the level of her normal attack skill "One Arrow" which she had just upgraded today. The damage range just happened to be raised from 90% to 95%. It can’t be because of this reason. Yu Zhuanjin felt that this guess was quite possible. "Hmm, hmm! Yuzhongjin, you did a good job. You are more capable than I thought. But this is not enough. Although you understand the concept of the spell, the theory is just theory. It is meaningless if you can't put it into practice." After saying that, Yun He took a deep breath and immediately recovered from the shock. As a senior, how could she fall here? She also had her own pride. After all, her experience was several times stronger than the other party. Thinking of this, Yun He suddenly became very interested. He slammed his hands on the table and said, "Come on, let's move on to the next stage of study." The use of spiritual power and the concept of spells are the most difficult parts of entering the threshold of spiritual spells, but Yuzhong Jin learned them smoothly, and the rest is just the application of spells. Talent is certainly useful in this regard, but it also requires time to accumulate, because this is the difference in the level of knowledge, so Yunhe is not panicked at all. In response to this, Yu Zhuanjin sat upright and listened attentively. "There are many types of so-called spiritual spells, but in a fundamental sense, they are nothing more than the spiritual words of words, the formations of patterns, or barriers, and the use of media to cast spells. These are the three major categories..." Then, Yunhe began to narrate slowly. But Yuzhongjin started thinking again. Yun He noticed Yu Zhuanjin's reaction and naturally knew that he had an idea, so he chuckled and said, "How about it? You can ask any questions you have~" "Are the conditions for casting a spiritual spell fixed?"
If you don’t understand, just ask, Yuzhuanjin asked questions. "This question is really tricky. If it were before, I would have said 'yes' without hesitation, but now I can't give an answer. Yuzhongjin, how do you understand it? Since you asked this question, I'm sure you have your own opinion." Holding his forehead with his hand, Yun He asked helplessly. "Yes, you just said that there are three conditions for casting spiritual spells, but I personally think that is not the case. From another perspective, words, formations, and media can actually be regarded as the same thing, except that the spell is given to something, and this 'thing' can be words or patterns or even the so-called medium. However, their functions are ultimately the same, just to allow spiritual power to be converted into another form." With his hand on his chin, Yu Zhuanjin continued, "Power follows our common sense, and our common sense believes that spiritual spells require specific conditions to cast, so we can only do this. But if we jump out of this rigid thinking, our vision will become broader, and then we will have more choices." "Break out of your fixed mindset, eh..." Hearing this, Yun He fell into deep thought. All clergymen have a common problem, which is tradition. They believe that spells have been completely perfected in ancient times, so there is no need to explore new things, and they just need to keep pursuing the ancient past. As for overthrowing and reforming the system? That goes against theism. Even if Abe Haruaki were alive, he would not make such remarks publicly. It is just like the heliocentric theory and the spherical earth theory, which are all nonsense until they are confirmed. But Yuzhongjin is not from this era, and even Yunhe is no longer a shrine maiden, so the latter is really thinking about the theory proposed by the former. "……I see." This theory, even if it was just a guess, made Yunhe's thinking suddenly clear. Really, she is clearly the senior, why does it feel like their positions are gradually reversed? But Yun He didn't care, instead he was very happy to communicate with Yu Zhuan Jin. Yes, even though it was Yunhe who was teaching her, Yu Zhuanjin’s transcendental thinking was also a “new world” for her. "The effects of spiritual spells are not fixed. Even if the spells, mediums, or even steps are the same, they can still be different depending on the caster. We usually call this 'trait', the special properties of spiritual power..." Suddenly, Yunhe came to this point. "…Traits?" This was the first time I heard the term Yuzhuanjin. "Well, the spiritual power used by the miko is different from the magic power cultivated by the onmyoji or the priests. It is an innate power. Because of this, our spiritual power is also different. It is just because it is bestowed by heaven that it is collectively called spiritual power." Then, Yun He continued to explain, "Some witches are good at blessing, because that is the nature of their spiritual power. Some witches are good at breaking demons, purifying, and even enchanting. This is a congenital problem. Although it can be compensated for later, it is not worth the loss. The characteristics are the witch's talents, and they also correspond to the areas they are good at. As long as you find your own characteristics, you will be able to practice spiritual spells more smoothly." "So, what are my characteristics?" Yuzhongjin asked curiously. "How could I possibly know?" Spreading his hands, Yun He continued: "You need to gradually explore this by yourself. Others cannot help you. You can only rely on your feelings." "Then what are your characteristics?" After that, Yu Zhuanjin also felt that this question was inappropriate. No matter how she looked at it, this trait was her own secret, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Sorry, I just asked casually, you don't have to answer." "No, nothing. There's nothing to hide. My spiritual power trait is 'truth'." Yunhe said it was okay.
"Mantra? What is that?" "In short, when I talk to others, I make them subconsciously say what they believe to be true, but the price is that I don't want to lie either." At this point, Yun He's gaze shifted slightly. To be honest, she felt a little guilty, because it was based on the characteristics of this spiritual power that she had confirmed that Yu Zhuanjin was not a person with evil intentions, which was why she had kept him in her home without hesitation. But on the other hand, she had never told Yu Zhuanjin about this, and now that the other party knew about it, he would probably be angry. “…Ah? There’s such an ability?” Yu Zhuanjin finally realized that she had never lied when she talked to Yunhe before, and she had never even made a joke...
