Poof!
As soon as Mo Chengjun finished speaking, he saw a group of people spitting tea from their mouths. The tea drew arcs in the air and fell to the ground and onto their clothes.
But no one paid attention to the embarrassment at this time, but all eyes fell on Mo Chengjun, especially the five ghost elders, whose eyes were full of suspicion and indescribable eagerness.
"Master Mo, you are saying it again. I didn't seem to hear you clearly just now?" The person who spoke was Elder Zhang Er of the Ghost Spirit Sect, a fat old man with a bitter melon face:
Mo Chengjun was speechless, but he understood everyone's mood. He waved his hand and said, "That's what you heard, that's right."
Elder Zhang San was still a little unbelievable and asked suspiciously: "Master Mo, just from those, um, historical data that you check every day, have you found the problem with our method?"
"That's all to verify my conjecture. These days, everyone is probably thinking that I am crazy, but in fact, I found what I wanted from those old papers."
Mo Chengjun paused, adhering to the rigor of scientific research projects, and said conservatively: "Of course, for now, this is also my guess, it is an additional research direction.
Specifically, we still need in-depth experiments, and we also need the cooperation of your Ghost Spirit Sect. "
At this time, Xiao Jixiang seemed to have come to his senses. He stood up in a flash, startling the ghosts and elders.
But he didn't care about anything else. Instead, his fat face turned red and he asked: "Master Mo, you mean that my idea is right. Is there something that we have ignored?"
"Yes!"
Mo Chengjun nodded and added: "If my guess is correct."
Elder Zhang Si was tall and thin, and seemed to be close to Zhang Jixiang. At this time, he slapped Xiao Jixiang on the forehead and told him to sit down.
Then he looked at Mo Chengjun and asked: "In fact, many people in the sect know about Jixiang's idea, and many people want to go deeper in this direction, but the problem is that we really can't find a foothold. .
They say there are still others that we have ignored?
But what have we overlooked? "
After saying that, he stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "Master Mo, please help us clarify our doubts?"
"Master Mo, please help us clarify our doubts?"
The Five Elders of Ghost Spirits and Xiao Jixiang all stood up and saluted respectfully.
Mo Chengjun was confused by this incident. He quickly stood up and returned the courtesy before saying: "Seniors, don't be like this. Since I have been entrusted by others, I naturally have to be loyal to others. Don't be impatient. Just listen to me." Take your time."
Sitting down again, facing everyone's gaze, Mo Chengjun pondered slightly, organized his words, and said: "Actually, Guimen has always done a good job, and actively tried to solve it after discovering flaws in the Taiping Ghost Control Sutra.
Although the experiment is not systematic, as time has passed and countless people have succeeded, in fact, there is no shortage of attempts that should be made and records that should be kept.
The six big boxes that Xiao Jixiang gave me and the information stored in the Zangfa Building have already made me realize one thing. "
Elder Zhang Wu made a qualified follow-up and asked: "What's the matter?"
"As far as the two research directions of strengthening the power of the natal talisman and limiting the natal ghosts and zombies are concerned, you have already done a very good job.
So perfect that even if I were to rearrange it, it would be nothing more than that.
It has been so perfect that these two directions have been proven to be wrong, and there is no need to study it in depth again. "
Mo Chengjun paused and then said seriously: "From that time on, I felt more and more that there was something really wrong that we had ignored.
But the thing is still there, what exactly has been ignored?
I don't know, so I can only follow your research direction and find the problem in the so-called 'balance'.
But to put it bluntly, this path actually makes no sense. "
Xiao Jixiang scratched his head and asked, "Why is this?"
"It's very simple. You want to allocate a flying yaksha to a Qi-inducing monk. This is naturally unbalanced, but no one is so stupid as to do this.
When you cultivate your natal ghosts or zombies, you all pay attention to innate qualifications and spirituality. Basically, the ones you choose are at the same level as yourself. Even if it is a breakthrough, it is either you or a ghost zombie. The maximum gap is only one big realm.
This is inevitable. Even if there is a breakthrough, one party must be faster and the other party will follow later.
If such a gap is not enough, the so-called mutual strengthening and mutual growth will be meaningless, so there is no need to study this balance. "
Zhang Si finally couldn't bear his impatience anymore: "Then what exactly is the problem? Master Mo, can you just tell me directly?"
Mo Chengjun didn't want to sell it off, and said directly: "Have you ever considered that there is something wrong with the natal talisman?"
"impossible!"
Elder Zhang Er jumped out: "My Ghost Spirit Sect has a long history. I don't know how many ancestors have practiced this destiny talisman seal script, and even the founder has achieved great immortality. All these piles are in front of you, how can it be the destiny talisman?" Is there something wrong with the seal?"
Elder Zhang San snorted coldly: "Does Master Mo think that the "Taiping Ghost Control Sutra" and the Secret Scroll of Cultivation Insights left behind by the Patriarch are all wrong in order to mislead his descendants?"
This person's character seemed difficult to talk to, but Mo Chengjun was not angry. Instead, he said: "I have carefully studied the life history of Uncle Jiu, and he is said to be a great hero who served the country and the people. I will never do it for him." Pass.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is any deliberate concealment of the secret records of the Dharma left by such beings.
But have you ever thought about another possibility? In fact, the "Taiping Gui Jing" is correct, and the founder of the Ghost Spirit Sect also relied on it to become an immortal.
All of this is fine, the only problem is that times have changed! "
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was confused. The five elders of ghosts and spirits all frowned into the character "Sichuan", and their bald faces showed how bitter they were.
On the contrary, Xiao Jixiang's eyes shone, as if he had realized something. As for Xue Ling and Ba Nichang, these two little ones were just watching the fun.
At this point, Elder Zhang Yi, who had not spoken until now, finally spoke.
He speaks very few words and is a very silent person, but the five elders of ghosts and spirits regard him as the leader, and he is the one who makes the decision on anything.
At this time, he uttered a few words in a hoarse voice: "Master Mo, please elaborate?"
"Actually, after I came up with this idea, I asked myself a question, when were the flaws in the "Taiping Ghost Control Sutra" discovered?"
Mo Chengjun first asked a question and then asked and answered it himself: "To this end, I began to read the records of the Ghost Spirit Sect, mainly the biographies of people in the sect, and the secret scrolls of insights left behind by their cultivation.
Especially this secret volume of enlightenment.
Most biographies will be slightly or severely beautified, but this secret volume of insights is the result of personal practice and understanding, and it is more in line with the state of mind at that time.
Then, I sorted out a table according to the timeline.
Among them, the Ghost Spirit Sect was established in the middle of the Great Xia calendar, around 600 BC, and the "Taiping Ghost Control Sutra" was written in 609 BC. The founding master broke through to the realm of immortals in 612, and with the Jiuyou Chi The ghosts died at the same time in the year 650 of the Great Xia calendar.
Since then, although the Ghost Spirit Sect has lost the powerful immortals, it still has the kindness of the founder and the expertise in suppressing the ghosts and ghosts. It has always been the object of support of the Great Xia Dynasty and the guest of all major martial arts sects. Naturally, there are many talented people and their prosperity will last forever.
From this, although the sect had its ups and downs, it continued until about 1300 in the Daxia calendar.
In the secret volume of enlightenment that I found, there is the first record of problems regarding the flaws of the "Taiping Yugui Jing".
However, it wasn't serious at the time. I mostly thought something was wrong with my cultivation. Although I had seen records in many secret volumes, I mostly attributed the problem to myself and did not spread it.
Then it continued intermittently until the end of the Xia Dynasty, which was probably the time before Jiulong seized the throne, and the issue of the "Taiping Ghost Control Sutra" had become public with the Ghost Spirit Sect.
The top leaders of the sect reached a consensus and began to block the mountain gate, reduce the number of disciples going out, and actively seek solutions.
I don’t know if it was luck or not, because the Ghost Spirit Sect’s shrinking policy basically avoided the major events of the Great Xuan Dynasty and Xia Dynasty, and also avoided the most chaotic period in Kyushu.
During that time, the ninth sect leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect finally decided on the sect's development strategy and came up with the first research direction, which was to improve the power of the natal talisman seal.
In other words, the six big boxes in my room are the accumulation of nearly five hundred years.
At this point, the current sect leader of the twelfth generation, after failing to find a breakthrough in the first two research directions, finally proposed the path of 'balance'. "
Mo Chengjun used the most concise words to briefly describe the entire history of Ghost Spirit Sect, which made several elders' eyes flash.
Of course, they could better hear the hidden meaning behind Mo Chengjun's words.
But it's always a little bit off, and they just can't catch it. What exactly does this so-called 'times have changed' mean?
Mo Chengjun took a sip of tea, as if to give a few people time to think, but he did not delay, put down the tea cup, and continued: "Throughout the history of the Ghost Spirit Sect, this "Taiping Ghost Control Sutra" has been from the very beginning. He could break through the Immortal Realm, then practice without any hindrance in the later period, then report problems in the late Great Xia, and now, he has reached the point where he cannot remain the same.
This proves that the problems in the "Taiping Gui Jing" were not born from the mother's womb, but were slowly exposed as time went by.
So if we assume that there are no errors or omissions in the "Taiping Yugui Jing" or that it has not been lost, what is the problem? "
At this point, Mo Chengjun paused for a moment and then said: "The fault is that the times are different, the fault is that nearly 1,400 years have passed, the fault is that under these long years, the world is different?"
"Is the world different?"
Elder Zhang Er was a little speechless. He even murmured to himself: "But why is this world different?"
Mo Chengjun asked strangely: "Everything in this world is changing, from the sun, the moon and the stars, to the mountains and rivers, to the world of mortals, things and people, everything is changing.
Then this world will always become different after thousands of years. Isn't this normal? "
This is actually a matter of concept. In Mo Chengjun's concept, everything in the world is changing, and all specific things have to go through the process of birth, evolution and death.
The reason why we cannot detect changes, or are not so sensitive, is more in line with the sentence - only in this mountain, no place is known in the depths of the clouds.
Only by looking back at what has happened ten years and a hundred years ago will we be surprised to realize that such a big change has already occurred!
Elder Zhang San was still in disbelief and asked: "Then tell me, what is different about this world?"
Mo Chengjun asked back: "Third Elder, what do you think has changed in the nine states of the human race in these more than a thousand years?"
"What's changed?"
Elder Zhang San was asked some questions and didn't know how to answer. For a moment, countless 'big events' popped up in his mind, but he couldn't figure out which one Mo Chengjun wanted to ask about?
Mo Chengjun seemed to understand his dilemma and said to himself: "These fourteen hundred years have been a long time. The human race has experienced the Daxuan Dynasty and Xia Dynasty, and changed to a different dynasty.
The same pillar of Daxia, the martial arts has declined, and the one who really stepped onto the stage is us, the Immortal Dao Sect.
Aren't these changes big enough? "
To be honest, the Ghost Spirit Sect is actually not sensitive to this change of dynasty. Who knows that they have a long history and sealed the mountain gate in the late Xia Dynasty to avoid that disaster.
Without a big loss, it’s natural not to feel deeply.
However, when Mo Chengjun said this, Elder Zhang San also recognized it, but a group of people became even more confused about the lake.
Little Jixiang forgot the lesson about adults speaking and children not to interrupt, so he muttered: "Does it matter?"
"Of course it matters!"
Mo Chengjun actually nodded and said softly: "In the Xia Dynasty of Daxuan Dynasty, it is said that the martial arts group has declined. It cannot suppress the general trend of the world and suppress the rolling world, monsters and ghosts. It is necessary for me to enter the world with my immortal way to save all living beings and save the people. With water and fire.
This is the most common statement, but some time ago I went through almost all the history books and biographies of the late Xia Dynasty and made a statistics.
At the end of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was one unrivaled martial sage in the entire dynasty, Zhang Xutuo, who was said to have continued the dynasty for fifty years. There were no less than twenty martial sages, all with names, histories, and sects. The strong man of bondage.
They may have their own demands, but when the Daxuan Dynasty gives an order, who among them dares to disobey?
With this number, how many times more powerful than the dynasty supported by Taizu Emperor Yu, a martial saint, at the beginning of the founding of the Xia Dynasty?
Not to mention that Daxia is a typical country based on martial arts. Compared with the suppression of foreign arts, martial arts is booming.
From the initial martial arts sect, to the martial arts system, and even to the martial arts examination and official recruitment system that has taken shape in the later period, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire country has devoted its efforts to cultivating martial arts.
In addition, the Daxuan Dynasty revised the arsenal, included martial arts from all over the world, and gathered countless masters and martial sages to study day and night, and obtained the secret royal nine martial arts.
That's it, not counting the thirty-six types spread by the imperial court, as well as the famous exercises that can achieve martial arts, there are no less than a hundred types.
How much stronger is this than when Daxia was founded? "
At this point, Mo Chengjun finally paused before putting forward his own argument: "So, it is not that the martial arts fell into decline. On the contrary, they have made great progress and reached another peak in strength."
"But they failed?"
At this time Xue Ling spoke. The little guy listened for a long time and finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Yes, they failed. This was naturally due to political corruption and internal strife within the dynasty, but after all, the strength was there, and it shouldn't be so unbearable anyway.
But it is what it is.
They were defeated, so utterly defeated that they have been suppressed by our Immortal Sect to this day, and they can't even raise their heads.
So what's the reason?
Are they too weak?
No, it’s not that they are weak, but that the Immortal Sect like us has become stronger!
But Daxia has been a country for fifteen hundred years, and Yiren has been suppressed to the point where he can hardly hold his head up. Without a good environment for learning and development, how can he be stronger than martial arts?
Why is it stronger than the martial arts? "
Okay, I stopped for a moment out of habit, and when everyone's concentration reached the highest level, Mo Chengjun continued: "As the saying goes, what is needed to accomplish something is the right time, the right place, and the right people. The right place, right place, and right people. , no immortal cultivator has an advantage, so the only advantage is one - timing.
Yes, the world is different, the sky has changed, so the methods of immortal cultivation are also different.
So what is the difference between this world and the earth?
I think that the number and density of spiritual ideas in this world have reached a new level. "
This conclusion is actually quite normal in Mo Chengjun's opinion.
There was nothing he could do. After all, after so many beatings, the concept of spiritual energy recovery was considered common sense.
Mo Chengjun still remembers that many years ago, when he was studying "Sword Theory III", he came to the conclusion that "the spiritual machine of heaven and earth has pseudo-intelligence", and used this to deduce that the revival of spiritual energy is caused by the residual spirituality after the death of ghosts.
Looking at it now, I won't say how outrageous this inference is, but at least for Mo Chengjun, the concept of 'revival of spiritual energy' is actually very common.
Everything in this world is changing, so it is not impossible that the number of spiritual machines in the world is increasing. If this inference is true, what will be the consequences?
After all, the five elders of Ghost and Spirit were not stupid people. After Mo Chengjun came up with his final conclusion, they naturally made countless associations.
Elder Zhang Si: "Although the martial arts masters also pay attention to absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, they seek more from within. They mostly use the spiritual power of heaven and earth to temper their bodies.
Unlike us, we seek everything from outside.
If, as Master Mo said, the number and density of these spiritual machines have increased to a certain extent, then we, the immortal cultivators, have indeed taken a big advantage. "
"Fourth brother, you completely missed the point!"
Elder Zhang Wu immediately responded and retorted, saying: "The real advantage should be in the art of protecting the Tao. Who of us immortal cultivators can use the magic and magical powers without relying on the wisdom of the outside world?
How many of them are supported purely by their own magic power?
But what about Wu Fu?
Most of their martial arts are based on their own strength, or physical strength, or inner strength. Even if they absorb the evil spirits of Tiangang and Earth, they also pay attention to the unity of spirit and will. The means to truly control the spiritual power of heaven and earth cannot be said to be completely absent, but it is also extremely crude. .
If there really is an explosive increase in the number and density of heaven and earth spiritual machines, it means that we have taken a big advantage. "
Elder Zhang San had a bad temper, but he thought more deeply. His eyes flickered and were as deep as the sea: "If all these premises are true, then the specific time of this 'celestial change' must be the end of the Great Xia.
That point was when I, the Immortal Cultivator, took a big step and replaced the martial artist to guard the fate of the human race in Jiuzhou. It was also the day when I, the Ghost Spirit Sect monk, noticed something was wrong while practicing.
Either it increases explosively, or it keeps increasing, until that point in time, it’s like the last straw that breaks the camel’s back. The world is different, and everything is different. "
Elder Zhang Er seemed to have been penetrated by the Heavenly Spirit Cap: "In other words, the era suitable for the "Taiping Ghost Control Sutra" is one thousand four hundred years ago, which is the number and density of the heaven and earth spiritual machines when the founder was alive.
But now, the world is different, and the number and density of spiritual machines are also different. The direct result is that the natal talisman seal is no longer applicable? "
Yes, this is the final summary of Mo Chengjun's long-term work, and it is also the point he found that was ignored.
If you simply study the "Taiping Gui Jing", you will never be able to get out of that cage if you say it doesn't sound good.
Even if you are in it, like looking for someone in the mountains, how can you climb high and see far away?
But from a historical perspective, everything seems to be lost.
To be honest, Mo Chengjun also felt that he was lucky. If he hadn't thought about playing with the five ghost spirits in the lake and studying the history of the ghost sect that was beyond the reach of eight poles, he might not have been able to find this direction.
If we really follow the idea of Ghost Spirit Sect, we will probably fall into the "obstacle of knowledge and vision". The deeper we study, the harder it will be to break free.
At this time, Elder Zhang Yi spoke again, the same simple words, but they went straight to the core: "Master Mo, what should we do now?"
Mo Chengjun: "Yesterday, I carefully checked the information on the natal talisman and seal, and found that your research methods basically indicate that the natal talisman and seal cannot be fixed, but are only strengthened by various additional means.
This may be the reason why you didn't even meet by chance. "
"what about now?"
"In the final analysis, this should be because there is something wrong with some parts of the natal talisman seal, which is not suitable for the density of heaven and earth in this era, resulting in restrictions.
So what we have to do now is to dismantle the natal talisman seal script into the smallest and most detailed units, study the function of each spiritual seal script, and determine the effect of each piece.
Then keep changing, trying, and looking for the part that doesn't fit, just replace or change it. "
After a pause, he added: "This matter is my main research direction from today on, and I will do my best!
But after all, I am just a person, and I am not too familiar with the talisman and seal scripts, so I would like to ask Wu Lao to pass my ideas directly to your sect leader, and ask your ghost spirit sect to mobilize enough professionals to participate. This one works.
At the same time, these changed natal talisman seals still have to be found to be cultivated and observed in real time to see their subsequent reactions.
This process is actually quite dangerous, and you have to explain it clearly to people when you are looking for someone. "
After all, it was a change of the natal talisman. Mo Chengjun didn't want to experiment on himself. He only had one life, so he was afraid!
However, what he was worried about was not what the Five Elders of Ghost Spirits cared about.
They agreed almost without hesitation, and patted their chests and promised that everything they said today would be transmitted back to the Ghost Spirit Sect as quickly as possible.
And if Mo Chengjun has achieved results, there is no need to worry about it. Even if the people from the sect haven't come over yet, they can still come on their own.
Looking at a group of five cheerful old men with bitter melon faces, well, he felt that he had underestimated the seriousness of the problems in the "Taiping Gui Jing"!
After talking about the matter, the five elders of the ghost spirit left in a huff, and even took Zhang Jixiang away. They were obviously busy.
And what about Mo Chengjun?
They did not move, but drank the tea in the cup and squinted their eyes slightly, wondering what they were thinking?
In fact, he is also confused now. This confusion does not stem from his speculation about the 'revival of spiritual intelligence', but if this speculation is true, another unavoidable problem will arise.
Why are there more and more clever ideas in this world?
Is it proliferation?
Or split?
Or, like human beings, there is one yin and one yang, and when the two are combined, it is impossible to have a 'child'?
