When Mo Chengjun learned about the "disasters caused by ghosts and gods" that occurred in history, he humbly asked Elder Zhang Si of the Ghost Spirit Sect for advice - why did those ghosts and gods go crazy in the end?
At that time, the answer given by Elder Zhang Si was: People's desires and desires are so complex.
Let me answer this. Mo Chengjun didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, but looking at it now, it was just a formality, and it didn't get to the point.
It's like someone asking you, why did you go to the hospital?
You answer: I'm sick!
Is this answer correct?
Quite right!
After all, who would go to the hospital if he wasn't sick?
But the problem is, headache and brain fever are illnesses, back pain and soreness are illnesses, and cancer and tumors are also illnesses, but when it comes to the severity, they are completely different.
Therefore, there is only one problem that Mo Chengjun has to face now - everyone says that this incense is poisonous, but specifically, where is this 'poison'?
Youdao always prescribes the right medicine. He must first find out the crux of the problem before he can find a way to solve it.
However, with just these eighteen land lords and dozens or hundreds of believers, it is estimated that if they do not develop for hundreds of years, they will not be able to reach the bottom line of the incense poison.
Of course, after such a long period of observation, he did not gain nothing. Regarding the 'incense poison', he listed several possible reasons.
The first thing to bear the brunt is naturally the complex nature of the 'incense and wish power', and just this complex nature can be divided into three situations.
One is the miscellaneous "spiritual spirit".
After all, practicing the Qi Shi method is just one person's 'spiritual essence', which is naturally extremely pure.
But what the incense wish gathers is the "essence" of thousands of believers. There are really as many kinds of "essences" as there are believers, and they are so complex that it is unimaginable.
The second is the miscellaneous nature of 'Heaven and Earth's inspiration'.
When practicing the Qi-Eating Method, although all comers are welcome when breathing in and out, when it comes to the meridians and acupuncture points, it is necessary to select the types of heaven and earth spiritual intelligence required.
In other words, you have to keep what you need and spit out what you don't need. For example, in "Seven Mysterious Sword Qi", you can obtain the "metallic" spiritual power of heaven and earth.
But 'incense and desire' are not so particular.
Since there is no entry into the body's meridians and acupuncture points, there is no screening process, and naturally all comers are welcome. There are all kinds of heaven and earth spiritual machines that carry the 'essence, energy, and spirit', and they are extremely diverse.
The third is the miscellaneous "prayer".
The biggest difference between this 'incense wish power' and mana power is that it has an extra 'prayer' to carry.
It can be as small as praying for peace, joy, health and longevity; as big as praying for children, wealth, fortune, or even jealousy, it is common to curse people to lose wealth, happiness, longevity, and life.
It can be said that as many thoughts as people have, they will have as many wishes, good and bad, positive, but don't have too many negative ones.
And if this is the case, it's like having countless Tang Monks shouting "nagging, nagging, nagging" in your ears, how can you not be annoyed?
It's okay if the time is shorter, but if the time is longer, like this day and night, I guess you even have the heart to kill people. If you can't get rid of it, you won't be crazy!
In addition, Mo Chengjun also considered the feedback issue of 'prayer'.
You must know that when believers pray, they still need to give back.
When there are only a few believers, it's okay. If a 'Tudi Gong' manages a bigger place, if there are only dozens or hundreds of followers, then they are all very busy.
But what if there are thousands?
There are tens of millions of followers among those great gods. Although the 'incense and wish power' add up to a small amount, it will definitely be too busy to cut them into eight petals!
If there is no automatic feedback system, over time, it will inevitably lead to complaints from believers, which may lead to a significant loss of incense and willingness.
Furthermore, after long-term observation, Mo Chengjun also discovered that there was also a difference in 'purity' of the same 'incense and desire'.
Just like the drinks, there are liquors with 40 or 50 degrees, wines with 10 or 20 degrees, and beer with 3 to 5 degrees. Although they are all drinks, the tastes are very different.
There is such a difference in 'purity' of 'incense and aspiration'. The specific reason for this difference is mainly the degree of piety of believers.
Those who are shallow believers who pray will have very little incense and will be born, and the effect of using it will be very poor, mainly reflected in the power of Shinto magic.
But the power of the incense wishes generated by the prayers of devout believers is different. Not only is the quantity sufficient, but the prayers are more easily heard by ghosts and gods, and the power of Shinto magic is also greatly increased.
What's more, the core of "The Golden Body Technique of Wish Power", the method of using the power of wish to create a Shinto golden body, must use the kind of high-purity incense wish power obtained by prayers of devout believers.
This is clearly recorded in the book!
What Mo Chengjun was thinking about was whether the difference and mixture in the purity of the 'incense and wish power' would have any unpredictable consequences.
Also, the 'prayer' carried by the power of incense has not only good intentions, but also evil thoughts and great desires.
Youdao means that the seven emotions and six desires confuse people's hearts. Could this aggregation and aggregation of negative emotions be the main reason why incense is poisonous?
The more he thought about all this, Mo Chengjun suddenly discovered that the possibilities seemed to be more numerous!
…
Galaxy Sword Sect.
Mo Mansion, in the study.
On the desk, piles of data records were placed half as high as a person, leaving only a small blank space in the center where some pens, ink, paper and inkstones were placed.
On the ground next to it, there was also an unknown amount of information piled up in a mess, making the entire study look extremely chaotic.
There are eighteen water mirrors suspended in the void, showing scenes of a group of ghosts and gods busy and believers praying.
Mo Chengjun was sitting behind the desk, with one hand on the empty space on the desk, tapping on it, with a tangled look on his face, as if there was something important he couldn't decide!
After a long time, he couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the two busy people on the side, and asked: "Xin'er, Xue Ling, you also followed me throughout this project. Tell me, do you have any opinions?"
On the side, Xue Pan and Ba Nichang were sorting out information.
Xue Ling was lying on the ground, supporting his body with one hand and holding a pen in the other hand, writing something; while Ba Nichang kept rummaging around, as if looking for something else.
Both of them couldn't help but raise their heads after hearing the question.
To say that these two little ones are both at the Foundation Establishment level and have embarked on the path of Qi training. Even if they don't rest for several days and nights, they will be full of energy and radiant.
But as soon as they raised their eyes, the tiredness on their faces was visible to the naked eye. After hearing the question, they all took a long time to react.
Well, although it was all taught by Mo Chengjun, but before that it was just to lay the foundation, teach the viewpoint of scientific cultivation of immortality, and popularize the ideas of creating magic.
Do you really want to talk about taking them to do the project?
Not once.
Only this time, the entire Galaxy Sword Sect entered the cave, and the threats from the outside world suddenly slowed down a lot.
When Mo Chengjun was thinking about the topic of "Creating Gods", he finally decided to bring them both.
On the one hand, Mo Chengjun needed help, and on the other hand, he wanted to accumulate some experience for them.
Although the path of ghosts and gods is definitely not the path they will take in the future, having a complete project experience will be of great benefit to them in starting their own research projects in the future.
Because of this idea, Mo Chengjun took the two little ones with him after consulting them.
And during this period, with two people here, the project will progress so smoothly.
But at this time, neither of them was in a hurry to answer. Instead, they turned their heads slightly and looked at each other. Then Ba Nichang asked: "Godfather, you are asking us, which of these 'possibilities' is the specific cause?" Is this the poison of incense?"
Mo Chengjun nodded: "Yes!"
Xue Ling tilted his head and spoke first: "I think the poison of incense may be poisoned in giving back to believers.
I have heard that people's hearts are unpredictable and their thoughts are changeable. If the prayers burdened by the power of incense are not fulfilled, sooner or later they will come back to bite the ghosts and gods themselves.
This can be seen from the fact that the ancestors' spirits were fine in the beginning, but became crazy in the later stages when they became great gods.
After all, there were only so many believers at the beginning. Qian'er's 800 believers were busy and they could still take care of them. But later on, when there were thousands of believers, how many ghosts and gods could take care of them? "
"No, no, I don't think that's the case!"
Ba Nichang directly retorted: "What you said makes no sense. It is common for believers to not get feedback. The lack of care you mentioned cannot be the main reason why incense is poisonous.
I am more inclined to the influence of negative emotions. After all, the negative emotions of so many believers are piled up in the hearts of ghosts and gods. How much carrying capacity does he have to be able to ignore the evil thoughts of so many people?
If it were me, just seeing so many disgusting things would drive me crazy! "
"Then according to your opinion, the 'praying' part cannot be deleted?"
"This is impossible. If it is deleted, then why do mortals have faith? What's the point of faith?"
"This is just an argument. According to my godfather, faith comes from the fear of the unknown. As long as people are afraid of death, they cannot have less faith!"
"I actually think that this mixture of 'spirit, energy, and spirit' is somewhat possible."
"why?"
"Do you think it would be strange if nothing happens if the 'spirits' of millions of people are mixed together?"
"Then if you say that, you have to consider why the 'spirits and spirits' can't be mixed together? What will be the specific consequences of mixing together? What impact will it have on the ghosts and gods themselves? Have you ever thought about these?"
"Just kidding, of course I haven't thought about it, but isn't this something we should study later?"
“Without research, you have no right to speak!”
"..."
I have to say that it was Mo Chengjun who cultivated him. This strong 'research desire' was actually not lacking. As they chatted, the two started to discuss it.
But Mo Chengjun didn't really listen to their discussion, but looked at the record in his hand, slightly lost in thought.
At his hand, a piece of white paper listed at least a dozen directions, large and small, all possible, but none without conclusive evidence, and they all seemed quite similar.
Even, these are not all, it is still unknown whether there is anything he did not expect!
Xue Ling and Ba Nichang discussed for a long time, but they didn't discuss the issue of Chou Yin Mao, and they looked at their godfather in unison.
Xiao Xin'er was still more anxious and asked: "Godfather, what do you think?"
Mo Chengjun came back to his senses, looked at the two of them and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "What do you think we should do next?"
Xue Ling and Ba Nichang looked at each other again, and finally Xue Ling spoke first: "According to what Godfather taught us before, now we should design experiments one by one around these dozen directions, and use the elimination method to eliminate the impossible.
Or pick a few main directions and proceed directly to the next experiment? "
"That's right. Logically speaking, this should be the case, but..."
Mo Chengjun paused again when he said this, but Xiao Xin'er was very anxious. She said: "Godfather, you are not usually a hesitant person. Why are you so hesitant to speak now?" Already?
If there is anything, you can just say it directly? "
Mo Chengjun smiled bitterly: "Don't you think there are too many directions to explore now?"
He raised the recording paper, shook it, and said: "There are more than a dozen directions, which is not a good thing, and these are just what we have summarized, are there any others we have not discovered?
What do you think this means? "
"What?"
“This means that our understanding is not deep enough and our research is not thorough enough.
This shows that we have not gone deep enough into the way of ghosts and gods. Just superficial observation is actually far from enough. "
"so what?"
Mo Chengjun looked at his two 'children' and apprentices and said softly: "Perhaps I should also become a god and taste the taste of this incense?"
