Chapter 424
Swaying flames brightened the mountain cave . Crell was sitting beside the bonfire and teaching Zhang Tie how to control animals . Zhang Tie looked very concentrated, at least from his look .
"Wild beasts are as same as humans; they also have moods and thoughts . Even tiny insects have moods and thoughts . If you want to learn how to control animals, you have to ignore their bodies and attempt to exchange with them from inside!" Crell explained it to Zhang Tie patiently .
After learning the "Great Wild Sutra", Zhang Tie became more curious about how other sects control wild animals . Actually, he did not want to learn them but to disguise the "Great Wild Sutra" with them . Therefore, Zhang Tie was very interested in Crell's words .
"I don't understand . Why do we have to ignore the bodies of those wild animals?"
"Because human's consciousness is the most mysterious domain in the universe . When you focus on the bodies of the wild animals, you are actually indicating yourself that their bodies are different from yours . Namely, you think they are different from you . If so, you will stop yourself from communicating with them . Because you take the different bodies as the obstacle of the communication, your thoughts could not reach their minds!"
"It sounds reasonable and a bit fantastic . " After thinking it for a short while, Zhang Tie continued, "Do all the other animal controllers communicate with wild beasts like how you did?"
"No, this is only the secret skill of school of patron . Those inferior animal controllers control wild beasts through mandatory training and drugs; better ones could hypnotize animals; some could use magics; some are proficient in animal languages; a few senior animal controllers are excel at controlling wild beasts through blood and soul contracts . In Eastern Continent, it's said that there are more mysterious and powerful animal controlling skills!" When talking about Eastern Continent, Crell slightly narrowed his eyes with a desiring look, "I was told that the most powerful animal controllers on Eastern Continent could even inject their souls in fierce beasts, enabling those beasts to be their incarnations!"
Hearing the last sentence, Zhang Tie's heart pounded at once . He knew what Crell was talking about . Zhang Tie really had not imagined that the "Great Wild Sect" was so well-known . With a shocking look, Zhang Tie sighed with emotions, "What powerful animal controllers! Those animal controllers who could take wild beasts as their incarnations must belong to the same unrivaled sect!"
"The sect was very powerful; however, it perished!"
"Perished, how come?"
"They perished rightly because of the greatness of their animal controlling skill . As a wise old eastern saying went, 'As long as you have a priceless treasure, even if you are not guilty, you will be guilty in the eyes of others due to their greed!' Crell explained . "
After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie finally understood what Crell meant . This was exactly what Zhang Tie was concerned about .
"Is there anyone else who had mastered the animal controlling skill of that sect?" Zhang Tie asked .
"As that sect has perished for a long time, all those who could master the core animal controlling skill of that sect have died!"
"What a pity!" thinking of that skeleton in the mountain cave, Zhang Tie sighed with his true mood . "Destiny is interesting! Even if one had mastered such a powerful animal controlling skill, he had to be alert every time . He had to stay with a swarm of demon rats and finally died alone in a serene mountain cave in the wild . "
"Perhaps this was the god's will!" Crell also let out a sigh .
In the following hours, Crell started to teach Zhang Tie about the animal controlling skill of wild patron . According to Crell, these contents were not the most profound ones, which could only be imparted after Zhang Tie has become an official clergy of the school of patron . However, if Zhang Tie had the potential to master these contents and practiced hard, he could easily command 3-5 wild beasts or find 1 or 2 powerful wild beasts as his pets .
The animal controlling skill imparted by Crell to Zhang Tie was a strange spiritual connection with wild beasts which developed on the basis of some secret prayers of Gaia, the mother of land which the school of patron believed . Zhang Tie's "heart of mother nature" was the medium and bridge of this connection . Crell considered this connection as the inner communication with wild beasts . However, in Zhang Tie's opinion, the animal controlling skill of wild patrons was more like a cooperation with wild beasts on the equal footing; instead of simply driving them away . The secret prayers of Gaia, the mother of land were certain cooperation contracts between the two parties .
By comparison, the animal controlling skills in Chinese "Great Wild Sutra" were completely filled with a domineering sense . Communication and prayers were nothing but bullsh*t for the "Great Wild Sutra" . In this Sutra, people was the center of the universe, the most honorable controller in the universe and the incarnation of the universe and the universal laws . All the living beings, insects, fishes, birds or beasts had to follow the orders of humans . It was completely their great honor to satisfy humans' will .
"How come they control wild beasts in different ways?" Zhang Tie thought about this question for a while and finally realized that he could not get the answer based on his current intelligence and comprehension . However, now that this phenomenon existed, it was reasonable and allowed by the universal laws . After matching the school of patron and the Great Wild Sect on their animal controlling skills, Zhang Tie felt that the secret skill in the 'Great Wild Sect' was more suitable to him .
Although having the all-spirits pagoda, Zhang Tie didn't know what was the heart of mother nature at all . Additionally, to be honest, Zhang Tie was still doubting whether the consciousness, the mother of land, that surpassed everything truly existed . In this case, Zhang Tie was really afraid that his secret was revealed by Crell .
Zhang Tie didn't remember the secret prayers of Gaia that Crell taught him until midnight .
. . .
On the next early morning, Zhang Tie was awakened by his biological clock while Crell was still sleeping . Unless emergencies, a wild patron would not wake up until the first ray of sunlight cast onto the ground . As was regulated by the doctrine of the school of patron, everything had to be in line with natural laws .
After waking up, Zhang Tie cleansed himself up at the riverside outside the mountain cave . After that, he sat on a stone outside the mountain cave and started to recite the secret prayers of Gaia, the mother of land that he had learned yesterday . Actually, he was injecting his spiritual energy into the body of the all-spirits pagoda according to the secret laws and illusionary regulations recorded in the "Great Wild Sutra" .
As Zhang Tie constantly injected his spiritual energy into the all-spirits pagoda, the 5 walls of the first storey gradually radiated colorful brilliance; meanwhile, a shiny jujube-seed shaped octahedron gradually came into being in the core of the first storey .
In the "Great Wild Sutra", this octahedron was called the Great Wild Seal . It was the main carrier of the 5 animal controlling skills in the "Great Wild Sutra" . If one wanted to apply different secret skills, one had to "print" different secret seals on the void Great Wild Seal . The function of this Great Wild Seal changed with different secret seals .
Based on Zhang Tie's current situation, he could only entered the 1st storey of the all-spirits pagoda, which could only hold 3 Great Wild Seals at most . The 3 seals on the 1st storey could only work on LV 0 animals such as common wild wolves .
