Chapter 1103: Dream and Soul
The indigenous heroes in the small world don't know much about the power of dreams, they only think that it is an illusory thing that only exists in imagination. Therefore, Ye Zan asked Lin Mumu, a disciple of Lord Daomeng, to use the power of dreams on the two indigenous heroes, allowing them to experience the power of dreams deeply.
However, Lin Shumu didn't reveal the dream, so that other bystanders couldn't see what happened. In the eyes of those onlookers, the two companions just stood there in a daze for a moment, and then some wounds appeared on their bodies inexplicably. The weirdness is indeed a bit weird, but whether it has anything to do with the power of dreams that Ye Zan mentioned, I am afraid I have to ask the two witnesses.
"Alan, Ige! Calm down! Calm down!" Seeing the overreaction of the two after waking up, the Sun King and others beside him hurriedly called out. They don't want the two of them to overreact and cause misunderstanding and trouble for this cooperation with the aliens.
And hearing the voices of the Sun King and others, Alain Dillon and Ignatz finally woke up from that extreme state. After all, both of them are at least Dharma-level powerhouses. Even if they don't cultivate their xinxing like Taoists, they still have some abilities in emotional control and other aspects.
"Alan, what happened just now?" The Sun King asked the two of them on behalf of the others.
Alain Dillon did not answer the Sun King's question immediately, but first looked down at the wounds on his body. After all, those wounds were not fatal but painful. And after seeing the wounds on his body, the expression on his face was also a bit shocked, he turned to the Sun King and asked, "Just now, what did you do to me?"
"You mean the wound on your body? We didn't make it, but when you stood there in a daze, you suddenly appeared out of thin air." The Sun King quickly explained to the other party, and then turned to himself On the question just now, I asked: "What happened to you just now, do you still remember what you have experienced?"
"Is it a dream? What we saw just now was all just a dream!" Ignatz, who was next to him, was already recalling his own experience at this time, but the more he recalled, the more his face became full of disbelief. It's like letting a staunch atheist suddenly see a ghost, which somewhat subverts the three views.
"Yes, it's a dream, it turned out to be a dream!" Reminded by Ignatz, Alain Dillon also reacted, or recalled, and couldn't help crying.
Hearing the words of the two people, although to a certain extent, verified Ye Zan's statement about the power of dreams. However, everyone was still very curious about the dreams of the two, and wanted to know what the two experienced in their dreams, and how the power of the dreams produced this effect.
"You two, can you calm down a bit, we are still waiting for your answers!" Cassallo urged anxiously.
"Yes, yes, tell me quickly!" LaGris followed up.
Under the urging of everyone, Alain Dillon and Ignatz finally calmed down, remembering why they both stood up to experience the power of dreams. As for the wounds on the two of them, they were only bleeding from the skin, which was nothing to two pure body refiners, and with a little effort, all the wounds were cured.
"Let me talk first!" Alan Dillon first organized his thoughts, took a deep look at Ye Zan and the others, turned and returned to his seat, and then said to everyone: "After I stood out just now, I suddenly I felt that there was something wrong with you all, and then I saw that you all showed the "true face" of orcs. I don't know why, at that time, I was very confident in my judgment, and I didn't have the slightest doubt about that scene. Then, naturally Besieged by you, or besieged by those orcs, in short, the wounds on my body are left in that process."
What Alan Dillon said was very simple, just a few or two sentences, and it was even difficult for people to connect with the dream, but it was more like an illusion. However, the fact that everyone present didn't understand the power of dreams didn't mean they didn't understand dreams at all. After all, who hasn't had a few dreams yet?
In dreams, the biggest feature is not any absurd scenes or stories, but the dreamer's psychology of taking everything for granted. Many people may feel that everything in the dream is so absurd and ridiculous when recalling the dream after waking up from the dream. However, when he was in that absurd dream, he didn't have the logic after waking up at all, he only thought that those were normal.
With the strength of Alan Dillon and the others, if the logic of thinking is not affected, they will not regard the dream just now as reality anyway. If these people around were really orcs pretending to be orcs, it was impossible for them not to notice it, and it was impossible for them to forget why they were standing here.
But in the dream, Alain Dillon didn't think about why the orcs pretended to be these companions and could perfectly avoid their own perception. He also didn't think about it at all. He just stood out from the crowd and took the initiative to experience the power of dreams mentioned by the visitor from beyond the sky. He didn't even think about the visitor from the outside world.
"I'm a little different!" After listening to Alain Dillon's narration, another experiencer, Ignatz, also spoke, and said to everyone: "I seem to have returned to my youth, to the one I was in when I was a teenager. During the experience, it’s like remembering. Of course, I mean like remembering now. In fact, just now...in the dream, I didn’t seem to think about it at all. I am no longer a teenager, and those wolves have long since I was slaughtered back then. It's really... a strange feeling."
Ignatz's dream experience is more convincing than Alain Dillon's, and it is closer to people's perception of dreams. If you say, after listening to Alan Dillon's narration, some people still think that it is some kind of illusion. Then Ignatz's experience undoubtedly further told everyone that this is really a dream, not an illusion.
"Both, in order to let you, and all of you who are watching, believe that dreams do have powerful power. My companion hit a little harder and caused some trauma to you. Please don't blame me." Ye Zan also stood up here, apologizing to the two of them instead of Lin Mumu, after all, he had cut so many holes on them.
Of course, Ye Zan's apology was just a show, and it was basically to emphasize the existence of the power of dreams, so that everyone could face up to that nightmare incident. But now, with Lin Mumu's demonstration, everyone obviously realized that the dream is not just an illusory imagination, but a real power that can affect reality.
"Indeed, this is really beyond our imagination. I didn't expect that dreams could actually do this. However, even so, the nightmare incident you mentioned can only be said to be a... It must have been made by someone with power or something else. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the special place you mentioned earlier.” Frenna, the Queen of the Night, suddenly questioned.
Indeed, Ye Zan letting Lin Mumu take action only proved the existence of the power of dreams, but what is the connection with the source of power in this world? Although people in this world have experienced Lin Mumu's methods until now, they know that the power of dreams can affect reality. But this does not mean that in the long history of this world, there is absolutely no one who can manipulate the power of dreams.
And the nightmare incident mentioned by Ye Zan, just like what Frenna said, is not so much the source of the power of the world, but more like a villain who manipulates the power of dreams.
"What do you guys know about the human spirit?" Ye Zan suddenly asked the native heroes.
"What?" The indigenous heroes who were waiting for Ye Zan's answer were a little confused when they heard Ye Zan's question that seemed to be off topic.
Ye Zan did not wait for everyone to answer, but followed his own question and said: "I have read a lot of information, information about your world, and found that not only do you have no understanding of the power of dreams, but you also have no understanding of the power of dreams. The concept of 'soul' knows nothing."
"Soul? What is that!" the native heroes asked in confusion.
Because when Ye Zan mentioned the word "soul", he couldn't find the corresponding word in the language of this world, so he used the pronunciation of the world language of Xiudao. Just like introducing Chinese culture to foreigners, it is always inevitable to "transliterate" some words, which sounds a bit weird.
"In our outside world, people are divided into physical body and spiritual body. We call the spiritual body 'soul'. The physical body is like a house, and the soul is the master who lives in the house, controlling the human body to do things. All external behaviors. When the body dies, the soul will lose its house and become a wandering existence, perhaps called a 'wandering soul'." Ye Zan explained to the indigenous heroes simply and straightforwardly.
"Your statement...is a little too..." Another piece of knowledge beyond cognition makes the indigenous hero feel that the three views are rapidly collapsing.
"If you want, I can let you experience it. I believe that after the experience, you will understand whether my words are true or false." Ye Zan also knew that it is impossible to make the other party believe it with just one mouth, so he said again Suggestions for experiences were made.
In the world of science and technology, there has not been a truly convincing answer to whether people have a soul from ancient times to the present. One of the most fundamental reasons is that they do not have the ability to see the soul, and everything can only be based on their own imagination. But in the world of Taoism, because the laws of the world are different from those in the world of science and technology, people can see "ghosts", and naturally no one will deny the existence of souls.
And what Ye Zan wants to let the indigenous heroes experience is actually to let them experience what it is like to go out of the body through a small soul-leaving technique. No matter how good your eloquence, no matter how many theories you say, and how many guarantees you make, it is better to let the other party experience it for yourself.
Since they had experienced the power of dreams before, the indigenous heroes were less prepared for the experience Ye Zan mentioned again.
"Let me experience it." Kasaro the Wind Elf stood up and said curiously with excitement.
"Let me come, I'm also very interested in this soul." Queen of the Night Frenna also said.
In fact, apart from Casalo and Frenna, other indigenous heroes also wanted to experience it, but they didn't grab these two. Of course, they also knew that they still had to be wary of Ye Zan and his party, so they didn't fight too fiercely.
"Okay, it's up to the two of you to experience it. Please relax a bit, and don't have any thoughts of resistance." Ye Zan stretched out his hand to pinch a formula for the soul-leaving technique while speaking, and said in two The aura shot to the eyebrows of the two of them respectively.
With the sinking of the two auras, looking at Casalo and Frenna again, they seemed to have froze there suddenly, just like the two before. However, different from the previous two, the two of them soon had different changes, and a ball of light slowly emerged from the top of each of their heads.
"This... this is..." Seeing the little light figure floating above the two of them, the native heroes present were all stunned.
"Actually, ordinary people can't see the existence of souls, but on the one hand, the two are very strong, and the others are not ordinary people, so they can see their souls so directly." Ye Zan explained to everyone road.
When Ye Zan was explaining to everyone, the two little light people were their "souls", and they started to move curiously. The two little bare men completely jumped out of their bodies, like floating bubbles, slowly floating from here to there, and from there to other places, having a great time.
"Leaving the soul out of the body is actually a relatively dangerous thing, especially for those who have not specially cultivated the soul. In your current situation, you can only leave the physical body for a short time, and you can't see the sun, and you can't hear the thunder. So, for the sake of safety, after the inspection, you'd better go back to your own body as soon as possible." Seeing the two playful old monsters floating outside happily, Ye Zan hurriedly told them reminded.
Under Ye Zan's warning, the two also remembered that there was still business to do, and finally put away their playfulness, each floated back to their own bodies, and then slipped back from the top of their heads. And at the next moment when the two little naked men got back into their bodies, their bodies that seemed to be standing there in a daze also shook twice suddenly, and opened their eyes one after another.
"Frena, how did you feel just now? Do you feel that something is wrong?" Batley, the Sun King, held Frenna in his arms and asked with concern.
"No, no, the experience just now was very interesting." Frenna stabilized her body and recalled the experience just now, as if she wanted to experience it again.
"Indeed, it's a very interesting experience. It turns out that the spirit and the body can really be separated." Cassallo also said while reminiscing.
