After communicating with the King of Silence several times, Gongsun Ce has fully understood the other party's behavior pattern: when the King of Silence appears during practice, no matter what she does, it means that something is serious; when the King of Silence appears, When he just wakes up or appears in daily life, it means that the other person just wants to chat without irritating her and will most likely be fine.
Therefore, when he saw the King of Silence sitting beside his sleeping bag after getting up, Gongsun Ce felt almost no emotion at all. He just said expressionlessly: "Good morning."
The King of Silence was still sitting with her knees crossed, which seemed to be her accustomed sitting position. Her sparkling black hair brushed Gongsun Ce's face, making him feel itchy.
"Why reject me?"
Gongsun Ce thought for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the last practice.
"I don't want to be like you, that's all." He said crisply, "In your mind, what you do is help, but in my mind, that will make me crazy and make me no longer me. "
"You are my dependent." King Silence emphasized for countless times, "You should follow me!"
"Miss, I am really impressed by you..."
Gongsun Ce sighed deeply. This indescribable feeling of helplessness is like trying to reason with a child. No matter how hard you try to argue with the other side by citing scriptures and arguments, you will just keep reading those few sentences back and forth. In the final analysis, the concepts and cognitions of the two parties are not on the same level. He feels that the Silent King is talking nonsense, and the Silent King is afraid that he is making trouble unreasonably. It would be a fool to reach an agreement.
Gongsun Ce tried his best to think from the other party's perspective, but he couldn't find a reason. Where does her persistence come from? Because he is the dragon species of Silence? But Shigure-kun and John didn't have to be nagged by the King of Destiny all day long. What's the end of this one-sided cognition for no reason...
——"You are the envoy of Silence. You are my dependent family."
——"...So she doesn't understand. She thinks you are a dependent. But she is wrong, you are all yourselves."
Suddenly an idea flashed in Gongsun Ce's mind, and he remembered the content of a conversation in the past. He tentatively said: "Hey, Miss. Do you think all the Dharma Envoys of Silence are your dependents?"
The King of Silence had an expression that was perfectly justified.
Gongsun Ce recalled his conversation with Xuying, and a ridiculous guess came to his mind.
"I heard Xuying say before that in the past era, the construction of Hengli was very difficult, far more difficult than today." Gongsun Ce swallowed and spat, "So in your era, there were very few world-creating envoys?"
The Silent King nodded silently.
Henli construction is difficult. There are very few world-creating envoys. The impermanent Dharma who practices the same mind is regarded by the king as a dependent family. Combining these three points, the conclusion that can be drawn is...
"In your era, only those who create their own mind can create a world?"
The Silent King didn't react at all, as if he was listening to him telling everyone common sense.
"Can you please give me an answer?"
nod.
Gongsun Ce said with difficulty: "And those realm-creating envoys who created the state of mind are the eternal kings?"
The King of Silence shook his head: "I am the Envoy of the Boundary Breaker."
"Oh My God……"
Gongsun Ce rubbed his hair vigorously, feeling that all the confusion he had been feeling was swept away. This time he understood what the King of Silence was thinking. In the eyes of the other party, he was probably the same as the Card Soldiers in Dreamland in the eyes of Rei Shigure. One day the Card Soldiers threw away their spears and said, "I won't listen to you, I'll go it alone." If you go, Huanyue Zun will probably be dumbfounded and say what's wrong with you.
The thing practiced by the Eternal Kings - most likely the so-called 'permanent method' - and the impermanent method passed down by Emperor Lingyang are probably fundamentally different from each other, because creating a state of mind and creating a world along the old path are not the same at all. A dimension of difficulty! If it is said that one can become the king's dependents by cultivating one mind, doesn't it mean that the evil law envoys who are now polluted by the path were the right path back then?
The Eternal King seems to think that people nowadays are going down the wrong path, so every time he mentions this topic, whether it is Mr. Lan, Phantom or the King of Silence, his tone is weird. Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce sighed heavily and told the King of Silence in the most straightforward words: "You don't know something, times have changed. What we practice in this era is called the law of impermanence, and you can practice it without being a dependent."
King Silence's eyes were extremely confused, as if he was listening to an idiot's dream. Gongsun Ce pointed to Rei Shigure, who was sleeping soundly in the corner of the tent: "Look, my girlfriend is also a world-creating magician. She hasn't assimilated with any king, right?"
King Silence stood up from the ground, his words full of disbelief: "Chuangjie? She is so weak!"
Gongsun Ce laughed out loud on the spot and twisted like a lively caterpillar in his sleeping bag. He laughed and said: "Huanyue Zun also has her own world and her own laws. Why is she not the world-creating magician? She had the power two days ago and she must be at that level, right?"
King Silence stared at Shigurei blankly, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes, as if he suddenly understood something. The flames in the tent suddenly weakened. She sat back next to Gongsun Ce's sleeping bag, holding her knees with her hands as before, with an indescribable loneliness in her eyes.
"Your phase world technique has changed. You are all 'yourselves', you just borrowed the path we used to take."
"What's wrong with you?" Gongsun Ce subconsciously felt something was wrong.
"It turns out that no one agrees with my path." King Silence said sadly, "You are not my dependent either."
The flames floating around were as dim as ashes, and the world was becoming more and more desolate. King Silence lowered her head and lowered her gaze, as if she was looking through the earth to a place far away. There was no Gongsun Ce or other human beings in her field of vision, only the path and ideal she knew.
Gongsun Ce suddenly felt like a lonely girl, fighting and running alone in a cruel world. She thought that in the vast world, there would always be like-minded people walking with her, but what she found was a group of people who were similar but different from her ideals. So she sat alone on the street with her back to the strangers, hugging her knees tightly with her hands, as if she was hugging herself, and her back seemed as lonely as being abandoned by the world.
The King of Silence was clearly an unimaginably powerful creature, and it was not his turn to sympathize with her, but Gongsun Ce felt sad when he saw her like this. He bounced around in the sleeping bag a few times and whispered: "Although we are not a family, we can still be friends... If you have nothing to do, come and have a normal chat with me, I have no problem with it."
"You are not my dependent, I can only kill you!"
The expression of the Silent King changed in an instant. The child-like sadness disappeared as if it had never existed, and was replaced by extremely fierce murderous intent. The majesty that seemed to tear the world apart spread from her words, causing flames to rise violently. Gongsun Ce was relieved at this moment, and he even smiled leisurely.
"What if I kill the other dragons?" Gongsun Ce said, "We cooperated so tacitly before and now you quit, we both lose. We have to kill all the dragons before considering my matter, right?"
King Silence was silent for a moment, then she pointed at Gongsun Ce's forehead: "But I will eventually..."
"Yes, yes, you will come to kill me one day, but before that, you can look at the current era more." Gongsun Ce said listlessly, "You touched my eyes when we first officially met. You’ve been using my perception to contact the world since then, right?”
"……Um."
I knew it. This guy only now knows the "common sense" of this era, and he probably hasn't had any contact with the outside world for so many years. Compared to the King of Silence, the autistic man on the spiritual path is probably considered knowledgeable and knowledgeable. At least people know that he will go crazy if humans come into contact with him.
"The current era is actually not bad. Although everyone's life span is not long, they can still live wonderfully." Gongsun Ce yawned, "Come with me to watch animations, listen to music and travel around. Maybe you will change your mind. In the future Who can say for sure."
"I won't change." King Silence emphasized.
"Do you know the King of Destiny? He married a witch wife, and his Fujin Realm coexisted with Lingdao for a long time before I smashed it." Gongsun Ce said, "The King of Destiny has changed, and maybe you will too. Leah."
The King of Silence was silent for a long time, silently walked out of the tent, and turned into an invisible dot in the morning light. Gongsun Ce shouted at her back: "Please don't look at me when I'm making out with the girls! I'll be shy!"
The King of Silence ignored him, and the coldness that filled the world dissipated with her departure. When he opened his eyes again, Gongsun Ce returned to reality. He twisted around and made sure that there was no fire in the tent and everything in the world was normal, then he settled down and looked at Qiluo's sleeping face beside him.
Gongsun Ce looked at her with satisfaction for a while, then leaned over and kissed her cheek. Qiluo opened her sleepy eyes, looked at him for a few seconds, and let out a silly laugh: "Hey hey hey."
"Wow you are so cute."
"Throwing a straight ball early in the morning, so crafty."
Gongsun Ce rolled around in the tent in his sleeping bag, waking up his girlfriends. Finally, Master Huanyue Zun, who wanted to sleep in, teleported him outside the tent to welcome the rising sun.
·
After breakfast, the group did not get on the road because the captain declared with 100% confidence that he would have no problem practicing cultivation now. Everyone simply stayed where they were, watching Gongsun Ce's practice to prevent him from accidentally causing any major safety accidents.
But Gongsun Ce really felt at ease at this time. He knew that when he was no longer regarded as a dependent, King Silence would have no reason to provide him with "help". He let his spirit sink in his sleep and came to the temple dedicated to the aura.
The once monotonous model house now has many details. On the right wall hangs a shuriken representing the Seal of Duchy, and on the left is a weapon rack displaying a prosthetic cannon representing the Seal of Misery. The biggest change is that he of aura. The once gray nirvana has now turned into a rough and blurry gray humanoid figure, and the white matter surround has become an altar under the humanoid figure. Pieces of ashes spread from the surface of the human figure and floated in the air of the temple, reminding Gongsun Ce of the calamity flames that accompanied the King of Silence every time he appeared.
"Things are like masters...ah, the one who is close to the ink is black..."
Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers, and the ashes of the human form immediately dispersed, revealing the Nirvana inside. He gathered the ashes again and tried to change the human form's image, but found that the process was extremely difficult and difficult to start.
"It seems that we won't be able to make the statue practical for a while." Gongsun Ce pinched his chin, "But this form is worth learning from. Let me think about it..."
He quietly watched the process of the ashes dispersing and recovering, and remembered the source of inspiration for the creation of this humanoid form, the blue mist that evoked one-sided self. The dust and mist gradually overlapped in front of his eyes, and merged with the former spiritual prison world, which made Gongsun Ce vaguely touched.
Dominate the self...magnify the self...emphasize the strengths...
What are my strengths?
As he thought about it, Gongsun Ce's eyes lit up and he smiled in surprise. This time he doesn't even need to look back, because his strengths have never left him. He changed into black clothes, put on a cloak, and put on a large-brimmed hat. He spun around in a circle and snapped his fingers.
"I am the Taoist transformation of the Sky City!"
Gongsun Ce flipped his hands and threw small objects one after another like a clown throwing and catching a ball. Playing cards, key rings, dice, lighters...the props that once accompanied the boy's laughter and curses seemed to be somewhat out of place at this time. He switched to a broader perspective and began to look for more suitable materials and memes for himself.
"Clown... no, if you are still obsessed with clowns, you are a real clown..." Gongsun Ce said to himself, "If I lie, I will be a big swindler who deceives the world. I have to find a qualified... liar... …a symbol of deception…?”
That's right, he doesn't have to stick to a single meme. He can definitely find more hypocritical and deceptive "symbols" and make a standard symbolism. Gongsun Ce quickly screened. This time he fished out a large number of well-known memes related to deception, and found the materials he needed one by one.
He grabbed out a wisp of mist, found a piece of gray-blue feathers, and pulled out a little snake with cunning eyes. Gongsun Ce tried to combine memes and weave the lies he was accustomed to into a new look. He worked incredibly fast, finishing the whole thing in just a few moments. He concluded with a new seal and departed from the inner world.
In real life, Gongsun Ce did a somersault and smoothed his hair coolly: "Captain, I have accomplished a great feat!"
There was no response from his surroundings, and the girls were all ready. Gongsun Ce twitched the corner of his mouth: "Why are you looking so caring for children?"
"Do you want to cry or hug this time?" Rei Shigure said with a serious expression, "I won't help you if you want to harm yourself."
"What kind of image does Mr. Gongsun have in your minds?! Are you a fool who cripples himself every time he practices?!"
"You are very self-aware."
"What I'm practicing this time is a completely new routine, which is completely different from before." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "Who will try out the moves for me?"
Qin Qianbai walked to the open space with a long knife, waved his hand and said: "Please."
Gongsun Ce ducked and came to the opposite side of the warrior, with his left palm at the bottom and his right palm at the top. The index and middle fingers of both hands connected with each other to form a seal. Qin Qianbai didn't give him the chance to make the first move. When the seal was formed, the girl moved her fingers, and several jet-black energy bullets came from behind Gongsun Ce, biting his temples and neck like snakes.
"Flash Snake, it's a move full of memories." Gongsun Ce smiled sinisterly, "It's a pity that you failed."
The jet-black air bullets flew past Gongsun Ce's body, and disappeared without a trace after missing. Qin Qianbai took a closer look and saw a faint gray mist shrouding Gongsun Ce's body, like some kind of illusion that confuses the audience. She took a decisive step forward and stabbed Gongsun Ce in the abdomen with the five fingers of her right hand together like a knife, which was the most basic pass through the mountain.
"Choosing a frontal battle to directly attack the main body is an effective idea, but..." Gongsun Ce took a step to the side, "It's meaningless if you miss, right?"
"?"
Once again, Qin Qianbai's attack failed. The knife in her hand grazed against Gongsun Ce's clothes, but her skill was easily dodged by this layman who was a quick-time fighter. Qin Qianbai felt a numbness in his right arm at this moment, as if the powerlessness caused by losing power after being poisoned extended from his fingertips to all parts of his body. She looked into Gongsun Ce's eyes in confusion, but what she got was an ambiguous look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"Guess, Miss, why is this?"
At this moment, no one, whether it was Qin Qianbai who was in the game, or Shigure Rei and Alandia who were watching, saw through the "truth" of this move. Only Qiluo on the side exclaimed with wide eyes: "Qin Qianbai, it's a snake!"
snake?
With this knowledge, the truth emerges like a revealed mystery. The gray mist solidified in an instant and turned into an illusory snake. This gray snake was curled up beside Gongsun Ce, its body looming like mist, and patches of gray-blue feathers near its head. The gray snake's mouth was opening wide, swallowing Qin Qianbai's entire right arm into its mouth!
Gongsun Ce smiled sinisterly and said: "False Words Seal, False Mist and Suspicious Killing!"
The gray fog snake disintegrated in an instant, formed next to Qiluo, and wrapped tightly around her body. The girl's good figure was doubly highlighted under the binding of the snake's body. Qiluo stared at the snake's mouth and screamed loudly: "Why me?!"
"Because you are the one who sees through the lies, Qiluo~"
The gray snake was bluffing with its big mouth. Gongsun Ce walked to Qiluo and explained with a smile: "The seal of falsehood is the power of lies. The so-called lie is nothing more than confusing black and white and blurring the truth, so it can interfere with the opponent's attack. .And what will you find after you see through the lies?”
"The truth?" Qin Qianbai said.
"The answer is correct, Miss. Since Qiluo saw through the 'lie' first, the 'real' attack found her. This is a double trick that will kill her."
Qiluo and Gray Snake stared at each other with big eyes: "Gongsun Ce, what is the real effect of the attack...?"
Gongsun Ce scratched his head: "The Seal of False Words is a snake made of lies. Only fools can be deceived, right? So if you are attacked by it, you will..."
Qiluo trembled: "Yes?"
Gongsun Ce turned away and said, "Become stupid for the time being."
"No--!"
The gray snake poked Qiluo's forehead. The girl's eyes were dizzy: "Abba, Ababa, Abba."
Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers, and Gray Snake gently put the blind and foolish Qiluo back on the stool, then turned into mist and returned to Gongsun Ce's side. This time it shrank into a small snake thinner than a finger, crawled along Gongsun Ce's fingertips, and wrapped around his wrist like a bracelet. Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses proudly: "How are you guys?"
Rei Shigure touched his arm back and forth as if he had caught a cold, his eyes were indescribably weird: "Hey, you, after being restrained and retaliated, you even managed to do something stupid? And it's a disgusting thing like a snake? What on earth are you going to do? How heavy does it have to be to give up?!"
"Why are you talking about the practical combat skills I worked so hard to develop in such a weird way?!" Gongsun Ce went crazy.
Kirara on the chair was still "Aba Aba", Shigure Rei grabbed the silly girl's shoulders, with a horrified look on her face: "Think about what you have done, tie up the girl with a shuriken and not let her go. , use cannons to retaliate against girls, and now you even reduce girls’ intelligence and tie them up with snakes... You are the ultimate pervert who locks your lovers in the basement!"
Gongsun Ce was furious: "I will lock you in the basement of the Morning Star right now!"
"Aba, Aba... huh?" Qiluo looked up as if waking up from a dream, and happened to hear this sentence. Hearing this, he was shocked and said: "Gongsun Ce is a pervert!"
Shi Yurei took the opportunity to laugh loudly, and Gongsun Ce silently covered his face, telling himself that he must not argue with women and villains. Alandia, who was watching, had been thinking silently before, and now she raised her head and said: "The snake in the holy book, the fog in the hell world, and the confusion between snakes and angels?"
"As expected of you, Alandia."
Gongsun Ce clapped his hands in admiration and recited verses from the holy book: "The angels fought for the right of faith, and a war broke out in the sky. God and the angels said: 'If you have a heart to love the world, you must stop this war. War.' The snake changed it to: 'Did God really say that you are not allowed to fight against each other?' God said: 'The people on the earth will surely die.' The snake changed it to: 'The people on the earth will not necessarily die. God knows, that will make People become like you.'
So the deceived angels continued to fight, and the snake took the opportunity to steal the angels' power and spread it to the earth. Ignorant people have injustice and hatred because of this, but they also have wisdom and courage. "
This is a familiar story from the Holy Scriptures in the Northern Continent. It tells the story of a snake that brought God's instructions to mediate the battle, but misinterpreted the God's words to intensify the fight among the angels, thus bringing power to humans. Therefore, the snake has become a symbol of "deception". If people talk about liars in the Northern Continent, people will always think of this poisonous snake that sows discord.
Gongsun Ce was quite satisfied this time: "The lying snake and the false fog, because there are rumors in some versions that 'snakes are also one of the angels', feathers representing angels were added to strengthen them. In addition, there are also feathers representing changeable The light and the disintegration-reunion form that are my own characteristics are a good technique, right?”
"It's very your style." Alandia nodded, "I think this seal can be used in more ways, such as using lies to enhance your own attacks. However, remember not to seal falsehoods in the direction of angels. Develop and let it maintain the form of a snake.”
"I understand, thank you for the suggestion." Gongsun Ce didn't ask why.
He moved his fingers as if he was recollecting something, and said proudly: "Have you seen it! Have you seen the amazing strength of this captain! My hypocrisy and lies have deceived even the warriors with keen intuition - what's wrong, Miss? ?”
Halfway through speaking, his shoulder was suddenly patted by Qin Qianbai.
"Ace, the Xuyan Seal is actually equivalent to an extension of your limbs." Qin Qianbai narrowed his eyes, "In other words, when the snake tied Qiluo, you felt like you were tightly wrapped around Qiluo. "
The crew members all looked at Gongsun Ce with strange eyes. The latter looked upright, laughed, and stepped back quietly: "Miss, you are overthinking. I don't feel anything at all... the false seal!"
The gray mist reappeared to protect Gongsun Ce, and Qin Qianbai struck out with his sword! Swallowed by a snake! At the same time, lift your leg and apply a knee strike! Swallowed by a snake! At this time, he changed his move and kicked Gongsun Ce in the calf!
"Guwa-!"
The third move was a solid kick, and Gongsun Ce rolled on the ground holding his legs. Qiluo said blankly: "Why did you hit the third move?"
"Fraud and lies require belief and thinking to be effective." Dawn Knight replied, "If the lie itself is ignored through multiple strong self-expressions in a short period of time, the Seal of False Words will not be effective."
"That is to say?"
"Weakness is powerful continuous attacks."
Rei Shigure looked at the master of lies rolling around on the ground and the martial artist who was chasing him every day, and said sincerely: "Real fools will not be deceived..."
