Lin Xixue followed the Confucian scholar's example, lifted up her skirt, and sat down on her knees.
There were quite complicated changes on the chessboard in front of her, but she didn't understand Go, so she could only watch the fun without realizing it.
The buck-toothed scholar across from the chessboard still had one hand hidden behind his back, and seemed to have no intention of taking it out.
"My little friend, if you have any questions, why don't you tell me clearly?" The buck-toothed Confucian scholar seemed to be very calm and had no intention of hiding anything.
"Who are you? Are you Lei Zu?" Lin Xixue also got straight to the point.
"At the beginning of the ancient times, who preached it? Have you figured this out, little friend?" The buck-toothed Confucian scholar first asked her such a question.
"There are some guesses, but I'm not completely sure."
"Can you please share your insights with me?"
"For some reason, there are two completely different ways of heaven in this world, so there are also two different ways of practice. Perhaps it is the invasion of heaven from another world, or perhaps the unexpected fusion of the ways of heaven from the two worlds."
"Haha, my little friend is indeed a wonderful person. He actually said such shocking words." The buck-toothed scholar smiled and shook his head.
"So, is my guess right?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know?"
Lin Xixue was a little sulky. Is this buck-toothed boy sincerely teasing her?
"What is metaphysical is called Tao, and what is metaphysical is called weapon. What I am saying is related to the way of heaven. Is it possible for an old man to judge whether it is right or wrong?"
"I don't have time to play these word puzzles with my husband, so I'll tell you straight away, are you Lei Zu?" Lin Xixue gradually lost her patience. She still had a lot of things to do.
"So, little friend, what do you think? Do you think I am or am I not?" The Confucian scholar was not angry after hearing her accusation, but he asked again.
"No." Lin Xixue answered very decisively, "Lei Zu should be that meat ball monster!"
After playing riddles with this buck-toothed guy for a long time, although she was holding back her anger, she could clearly feel that he and Tianzun were obviously not the same kind of existence.
If I have to say it, she is very similar to the owner of Wuzeng Temple, the Embroidery Lady.
"My little friend is indeed ice-snow smart. If you think I'm not, then I'm not. But if everyone in the world thinks I am, then I am!" This buck-toothed boy said such a meaningful sentence.
Lin Xixue frowned when she heard this, and she felt like she understood something.
Why does this buck-toothed boy want to deceive the people of the world and make them think that he is Lei Zu?
Why is it that the Shenxiao lineage, which worships such a fake Lei Ancestor, can also learn the real Lei method?
wrong! It's not that he deceived the people of the world and wanted them to think that he was Lei Zu, but because - everyone in the world thought that he was Lei Zu, so he became Lei Zu!
What is the source of power? Why do these weird beings collect incense?
It’s belief, it’s consensus!
The potential consensus formed by the collective unconsciousness of the people in the world will produce some incredible abilities, or provide food for some things that should not exist in the event!
This buck-toothed Confucian scholar is using the beliefs and consensus of the world to absorb the power of incense.
He is practicing this way!
"You make the world think that you are Lei Zu, in order to absorb the power of incense in the world and strengthen your own cultivation. Am I right?" Lin Xixue asked.
"My friend is half right. It is true that I draw the power of incense from the world. However, a very small part of the power of the incense is given to the real Lei Ancestor, and most of it is fed back to the Taoism of the Shenxiao lineage. I myself Less than 10% is left.”
Hearing that Lin Xixue misunderstood him, he was not angry and still explained patiently.
"My little friend, I must have heard the saying, "If you don't speak, you will have strange power and you will confuse the gods?"
"Not bad." Lin Xixue nodded. She heard this sentence often recently and thought about it often.
"The reason why I wanted to eradicate the strange power and chaos in the world was because I found that if the people can hear and see the weirdness itself, the weirdness will be directly strengthened."
"So I guess this is because Weirdness has absorbed an invisible and intangible power. Let me give this power a name, called people's hearts."
The buck-toothed Confucian scholar had said this, but Lin Xixue could not hear it now, and immediately said in surprise: "Are you the Confucian sect's sage?"
"Haha." He smiled sadly, "Whether it is a literary saint or a holy saint, it is just a false name, and in the end it is just a piece of loess."
"My ancestor's surname is Lu, and I am the second eldest child in my family. My little friend calls me Lu Er."
Lin Xixue bowed her hands, and Lu Er continued: "After I discovered this power called the people's hearts, I wanted to completely eradicate the strange power and chaos in the world."
"It's a pity that this move did not go smoothly. After all, the people still need some strength to support their hearts."
"So later you discovered that instead of letting the common cognition of the people, that is, the people's hearts, be scattered to different weirdnesses, causing the world to become more chaotic, it was better for you to bring them together." Lin Xixue expressed her conjecture.
"Yes, the more chaotic the world is, the more the people need to comfort themselves with the talk of ghosts and gods, and the more weird things will become stronger again. And when the weird things become stronger, the more chaotic the world will be."
Lin Xixue only felt a headache. This was indeed a standard vicious cycle.
"My little friend, do you know Li Chuan?"
Lin Xixue nodded. How could she not know about this long river that spanned the entire continent? But she had only heard of it, but had never been there in person.
But why would Lu Er suddenly mention Li Chuan?
"In the seventy-second year of Jingyun, Lichuan was flooded, causing countless casualties. I was ordered to go to the river to offer sacrifices. This is the scene you saw last time."
"After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river, suddenly a strange fish rose up from the clouds, drove light and lightning, and roamed the nine fields. He called himself Lei Ancestor."
"He said, if I am willing to take refuge in Him and collect human incense and vows for Him, I will no longer flood Lichuan."
"Although I cater to you on the surface, I have always had my mind on it. On the one hand, I established the lineage of Shenxiao, imitated the ancient Zhuanxu clan's Jedi Heavenly Power, and took all the incense into my own hands."
"On the other hand, I did not follow Lei Zu's instructions to erect a statue for him. Instead, I erected statues for myself all over Yunzhou, and incidentally made up the so-called Shenxiao Taoism."
"Since you didn't follow Lei Zu's instructions, he didn't bother you?" Lin Xixue stroked her chin in thought, but her brows couldn't help but frown slightly, pointing out something fishy about it.
"He was naturally furious and wanted to kill me the next year. Unfortunately, he misjudged the power of the people of Yunzhou. With the incense he had collected over the past year, he was unable to kill me. "
"So, I made a deal with him. I will continue to collect the power of incense in the human world, and I will share it with him 20% every year. He will need to pass down the thunder method and distribute it to the disciples of Shenxiao's lineage."
After hearing this experience, Lin Xixue couldn't help but feel a little admiration. He was indeed the sage of Confucianism. He was indeed a man of great determination, perseverance and courage.
However, after hearing these words, Lin Xixue thought of a new question.
Wuhu, the second chapter has been delivered. I feel that the flow of this chapter is very smooth and I wrote it so fast!
