The more mechanisms she cracked, the greater the doubts and uneasiness in her heart.
There are only a handful of artificer branches that can understand the language of magic techniques. Her teacher's lineage has the most profound attainments in this art, and has almost compiled a complete set of magic language.
It could not be denied that the formulas in the tomb were compiled entirely in the language of the techniques, and the structure and design of the entire mechanism also gave her a subtle, familiar feeling.
Some things cannot be thought about, and some things must be thought about. Itsuki said "wait", why wait?
In fact, in the back and forth of words and demeanor, she had already got the answer she wanted, and then told Zhan Changfeng that the tomb might have been left by her teacher?
It’s boring to say what you can do.
Zhan Changfeng also made a slight guess. Judging from Wumu's attitude and her mechanism skills, could it be that she had encountered a mirror?
However, Itsuki didn't say anything, and there was no need for her to point it out, but it was really not a good habit to stop someone casually without saying anything.
Zhan Changfeng left the stone door he was leaning on, walked towards Wu Mu, took the carpenter's pen in her hand, and picked up a wooden board.
Wu Mu was about to stop her for this impolite behavior, but he saw her drawing on the wooden board, and an outline came out with a few strokes. Itsuki's words reached his lips and he swallowed them back, frowning as the outline became more and more specific and precise.
Zhan Changfeng said while painting, "At the beginning of ancient times, who taught the Tao, but it was not clear from top to bottom, so how could it be tested? How many people have been asking the sky and the earth throughout the ages, seeking the secrets of the world, trying to get closer to the 'Tao', if The practice of Taoism is "body", so martial arts, law, Confucianism, Buddhism, swords, etc., as well as organs, formations, talismans, medicine and many other branches are "yong". Use to understand the body, self-cultivation, body and use complement each other, Tao It’s a long way to go.”
"But how many people are stuck halfway."
Wumu shifted his attention from the picture to Zhan Changfeng. Zhan Changfeng lowered his eyes to draw the picture, "I have always admired Master Pangdao. Compared with martial arts, Dharma, Confucianism, Buddhism and other enlightenment systems that have been roughly formed after thousands of generations, Pandao Doesn’t it show how valuable the spirit of those monks who are dedicated to this way is?"
"Listen, you seem to be sarcastic about the narrowness of the bypass and the closed doors."
"One sentence can mean thousands of things to thousands of people's ears. I think I am objective, but you hear the irony in my words. Does it mean that you are confused and questioning the development and future of the side channel?"
"To be precise, you are shackles in the organization and don't know how to continue. This confusion and uncertainty make you shake the organization itself and its future, so you become confused when others mention this issue. sensitive."
"You said I was mocking the narrowness of the bypass and the closed-door approach. In fact, you thought it was difficult and unsustainable, right?"
"..."
Zhan Changfeng likes to tell the truth, just like treating an injury. Only when the rotten flesh is completely removed can medicine and bandage be applied. As for the blood dripping in the process and the possible pain and embarrassment, she does not consider it. Inside.
It is unfortunate to meet such a person, because she can find the gap in your heart in the shortest time, and then hit the nail on the head, completely cutting open the secrets that you cannot face and placing them in front of you.
In this case, you usually have two choices: get angry or, like Itsuki, admit it frankly.
"I am the descendant of the most profound organ lineage, and what I have learned are the most penetrating handwritten notes of our predecessors and the present. In the remaining thirty-two years of my life, I have mastered seventy-eight years of Neo-Confucianism. It is not that I am working behind closed doors, but that my fellow masters can no longer communicate with me. I discuss the law.”
"I am in shackles because the agency is in shackles."
She reached the end of the machine technique, and in confusion, she looked back to find the person who had led her, but found that the person was no longer there. She looked around, but there was no one to lead her forward.
Zhan Changfeng is better at cracking mechanisms than creating mechanisms, so when it comes to real mechanism techniques, Wumu is indeed ahead of her and ahead of others.
"There are specialties in the art industry, and I am not qualified to give you any advice on mechanisms," Zhan Changfeng said, "But since your skills have reached the end, why not go back to the roots and think about the meaning of the existence of the mechanism art. There are countless ways to do it. Thousand, in a nutshell, it means getting rid of bad roots and achieving the origin. Among them, martial arts pursues the ultimate in life and abides by the word "heart", Dharma guides the sky and the earth and practices the word Dharma, and Confucianism and Taoism explore the philosophy of the universe and seek the word "true".
"The original intention of existence is often the support for the long-term development of an orthodoxy. Maybe when you know why the art of mechanism exists, you can understand how it should grow. Unexplored roads will naturally be opened up, and unknown principles will naturally be known. Were you still afraid of the constraints of technology at that time?”
Wu Mu was silent, then smiled sincerely and said, "You have a lot of truth, so tell me why it exists?"
"I'm not an omniscient saint. I know everything. But when I first learned about the mechanism when I was young, someone said: Is the mechanism difficult? What's so difficult? There used to be a savage who couldn't pick the fruit from the tree. So I took a piece of wood and split it in half, and stepped on it under my feet. Then I found it unstable, so I fixed the two long pieces of wood together with a short piece of wood, and the first ladder appeared. This was the simplest and most primitive mechanism."
Wu Mu asked in confusion, "Why don't you use long wood to knock down the fruit?"
Zhan Changfeng replied smoothly, "I'm afraid the fruit will be broken."
.....
Misty silence.
In the end, the mechanic brought the focus back with a dull face, "Although the words are rough, there are facts. Because of demand, we will create, and then under tens of millions of years of selection, it will either decline and disappear, or introduce new ones. It will continue to deepen and accumulate. Inheritance. Although the original intention is simple and not one ten thousandth of the profound meaning given by later generations, it is the most superficial and core truth."
Zhan Changfeng said, "I don't intend to comment on the side path itself, but looking at the overall situation, compared to Fawu, the inheritance of these masters of the side path is obviously narrower. Why? First of all, the future of Fawu is very promising, and countless seniors are almost These roads have been paved.”
"Secondly, the master's inheritance is more academic and focuses on specialized research, which is not suitable for most people. It is also a groping way forward. No one knows what is ahead, and it doesn't make sense."
"The inheritance of Master Sanlai is inherently demanding in selecting disciples. Under the shadow of the righteous path, he does not get straight to the point, but is self-conscious. If you just go among the people, you can see martial arts and Dharma training everywhere, but finding a master is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"The inheritance of the master will be discontinued and will stagnate. In addition to the difficulty of the path itself, it is not related to the outside world."
"If the people in the world don't know that your lineage is alive, then no one will learn it. If no one learns it, why should it be passed down?"
Zhan Changfeng put down his pen with a snap, "I only have two sentences. Regarding the master's inheritance, brainstorming accumulates sand into a tower. Regarding the master himself, true knowledge comes from practice."
"Brainstorming accumulates into a tower, and true knowledge comes from practice..." Reviewing the entire conversation in detail, Itsuki was shocked and looked at the picture on the board with burning eyes, "Forcing me to admit that the road is difficult. Investigate the original intention of the origin. , and from the situation of organ discussion to sideline inheritance, what do you want to do?"
Zhan Changfeng clicked on the picture on the wooden board, "There are even some unrealistic ideas for machine weapons from Yanshi. Faced with such a challenge, will you refuse?"
Wumu shook her head, she would not refuse, unknown institutions have unparalleled attraction for her.
"I know you won't refuse."
Zhan Changfeng didn't look at Wu Mu's expression, picked up the pen again, and sketched the weapon in the picture, "Originally, our conversation should have centered around you, and then ended when I told the story of the savage, because I understand that a person with a mechanism A master who has a lifelong career can be easily lured out of the mountain with a challenging picture and the hope of breaking through the shackles.”
"But individuals have their own destiny. Your focus is not just on yourself, so how can I blaspheme your Taoist heart?"
Zhan Changfeng turned the front of the board towards her, "If you not only hold the mechanism technique in your heart, but also the entire mechanism inheritance, then I don't mind letting you know the city in my heart."
Itsuki traced the towers and streets on the wooden boards with his fingertips, "...there are many mechanisms."
"Yes, there are many mechanisms, and it's not just mechanisms. The construction of this city wall alone brings together mechanisms, formations, castings, runes, barriers, seals and other technologies. It is a city, and it is also a free and tolerant city."
"I want it, a hundred schools of thought will sing together, and all the ways will compete."
Wumu looked into her deep eyes, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"What I am saying now is what I have to do, and it is imperative. This world has been controlled by princes for too long. The barriers between regions, the confrontation between inheritance and inheritance, the conflict between princes and sects, the conflicts between casual cultivators and so-called The hidden dangers of the orthodox struggle have long been buried. If it is destined to be a silent war, then I hope that I will guide the future direction."
Wumu covered half of his face with one hand and sighed softly, with a radiant look in his melancholy eyes, "I originally thought you were an ambitious man who plays for power, but I didn't expect that you are actually a crazy reformer. "
"But, I like it! - If it's to carry on the past and open up the future." She fastened the board, "Let's be honest, what do you want me to do?"
"Built the city."
Zhan Changfeng wants to build a city that brings together the inheritance of various skills, wants the city to bloom with hundreds of flowers, and wants it to become a sideline of faith.
She wants to use the Tao to generate law and use the Tao to rule the people.
"To build your city, you need many masters. Have you found them all?"
"Yes, but we still need a lot of materials. I'll reserve you first."
What else could Wumu say? At least she did it voluntarily and knowingly this time. "Then you succeeded. Let me know before you build the city."
"good."
