What is a "spirit"?
This question made the three representatives with the highest authority in the spell world look at each other, then they turned their heads and looked at Rozen with a calm face. They seemed to be trying to figure out his intention.
Why did he ask this question?
The three people in the room were thoughtful.
In the end, the one who answered Rozen's question was not Genji Kurahashi, nor the head of the Spell Search Department, Amami Dakoyoshi, but the head of the Nightmare Bureau, Miyaji Nobuo, with a bitter face.
"There is no explanation related to the soul in the current spell world. The officially recognized general opinion is that we don't know whether the soul really exists."
Miyaji Nobuo answered with his eyes closed.
"In the general form, the 'spirit' that we usually speak of does not refer to the 'spirit' of the soul, but the 'qi' that creates all things in the world, or in other words, resides in all things in the world."
That was the concept of the so-called "Aura" and "Miasma."
In Yin-Yang Dao, its most basic idea was the theory of Yin and Yang Five Elements.
Although the ancient and modern Yin-Yang Dao had a very different interpretation of this idea before and after the war, the idea was still used as the backbone of Yin-Yang Dao.
"Yin and Yang constitute the world. Yin and Yang are classified into five more detailed Qi: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. That is the theory of Yin and Yang Five Elements."
Miyaji Nobuo explained in his unique voice that seemed to be full of laziness and distress.
"Everything in the world composed of these" Qi "also includes human beings. Therefore, even the general idea agrees that human beings have a spiritual body called" spirit ", which is what we often refer to as the Spirit Body and spiritual existence, and then some people call it the soul. This is because there are examples of people leaving only a spirit body for a period of time after death, which is called the residual spirit body. That is the explanation of" spirit "in the general idea."
In other words, the so-called illusory souls that originated from religion were generally denied, and modern theories were used to explain the nature of the existence of spiritual bodies and spirituality, believing that they were different existences formed from spiritual energy.
Thanks to this, gods, Buddhas, demons, ghosts, and other existences were all interpreted as the aggregation of "Qi". Even the Imperial Spirits researched by the Spirit Control Division were included in this category. They believed that the so-called gods and heroic spirits were formed from the Spiritual Qi left behind by the great existences of the past. They filled every corner of the world and were omnipresent.
"Since you are the First Seat of this batch of Yin Yang School's freshmen, you should know the levels of spiritual hazards, right?"
Gong Di Fu made such a question.
The classification of Spirit Hazards referred to the classification based on the scale and nature of the Spirit Hazards.
With "hase" as a prefix, Spiritual Hazards were divided into five levels: hase1, hase2, hase3, hase4, and hase5.
Hase1 was biased towards spiritual energy that could not be recovered naturally.
Hase2 was biased towards spiritual energy that would cause physical damage to the surrounding environment.
Hase3 was a materialized, mobile type of Spiritual Hazard, commonly known as a moving Spiritual Hazard. It would be similar to a naturally occurring Cause-Type Spirit-branded Retainer. It would use a certain object as the core and use that object as a substitute, forming various forms.
Hase4 was a gigantic Spiritual Hazard as the center, causing countless Spiritual Hazards to occur in a chain. It was also known as the Night of One Hundred Demons. Two years ago, the terrifying Spiritual Hazard attack caused by the Daita-ji Daichi was a Spiritual Hazard of this level.
As for hase5, it was a stable Spiritual Hazard that was accepted by the world. Even the textbooks didn't explain this level of Spiritual Hazard in any more detail. Everyone only knew that this level of Spiritual Hazard existed, but no one knew what this level of Spiritual Hazard was like.
However, based on the above explanation, one conclusion could be drawn.
"Spiritual Hazards are also formed from Qi. It's just that the Qi of all things in the world is unstable and distorted, forming a miasma."
Miyaji Boruto explained.
"And when miasma reaches Hase3, it will be able to materialize. In the end, the so-called demons and ghosts are existences formed from Spiritual Hazards of this level. Even Yu Ling is a special Spiritual Hazard that differs from normal Spiritual Hazards in terms of its spiritual form. If a human with excessively powerful spiritual energy dies and meets certain conditions, the remnant spiritual body will become the core of this" special Spiritual Hazard "and take form. This is Yu Ling."
This was the modern explanation of "Ling", an impeccable and complete analysis.
"Your Spirit-branded Retainer, that Cause-Type Dragon, strictly speaking, is also a type of special Spiritual Hazard. It's a spiritual existence formed after the Qi of all things in the world becomes unnaturally distorted. Thus, in general terms, the so-called" Ling "and" Qi "are the same thing."
The Nightmare Bureau Chief, who specialized in dealing with Spiritual Hazards, perfectly explained the answer to his question to Rozen.
"Do you understand now?"
Amami Dashan took over Miyaji Boruto's words and smiled at Rozen.
"The denial of the soul is the modern yin and yang path. If you touch it without permission, it's like an anti-social terrorist. It's clear at a glance whether you should be punished or not, right?"
Amami Dashan said so, but the smile on his face didn't look like he was talking to a criminal at all. Instead, it looked like he was ridiculing and teasing.
To that
"In that case, why is Mount Taishan Prefectural Ritual of the Earth Imperial Clan not banned, and the former Spirit Department is also allowed to study Yu Ling?"
Rozen asked the question to the three people present with a faint smile, causing the three people present to be silent again.
That's right.
In that case, why is Mount Taishan Prefectural Ritual of the Earth Imperial Clan not banned, and the former Spirit Department is also allowed to study Yu Ling?
"The answer is actually very simple, because whether it's Mount Taishan Prefectural Ritual of the Earth Imperial Clan or the Spirit Department's research on Yu Ling, it's all approved by the royal family."
Rozen said unscrupulously, regardless of the reaction of the three people present.
"Mount Taishan Prefectural Ritual of the Earth Imperial Clan is not only a ceremony held for generations, but also a sacrifice for the royal family."
"The same is true for the Spirit Department's research. It's established in the palace hall, and the research on Yu Ling is also approved by the royal family."
"If it's Mount Taishan Prefectural Ritual of the Earth Imperial Clan, it's strictly prohibited because it was the culprit who caused the Great Spiritual Disaster."
"But Mount Taishan Prefectural Ritual of the Earth Imperial Clan is a sacrifice for the royal family. Even if we want to ban it, we can't."
"In other words, it's allowed to hold the Mount Taishan Prefectural Ritual of the Earth Imperial Clan from generation to generation."
Rozen's eyes glanced at Genji Kurahashi, Amami Dashan, and Miyazaki, and finally said leisurely.
"It's precisely because of this that you don't know whether to convict me or not and bring me here for a conversation. Otherwise, if I really committed a crime, you don't need to say so much to me. Just arrest me directly. I believe the government and society won't say much, right?"
Rozen finally revealed the hidden fact.
That's what he said, right?
"In fact, even you don't know whether to convict me or not, that's why you brought me here, isn't it?"
