Volume 3: The Exotic Path: Chapter 11: The World Tree (Finale)
"In addition to the overflowing mana, there are two kinds of beliefs imprisoned in the seal. Yang Jian, who was standing at the entrance of the passage, said lightly.
"Master!!" Looking at Yang Jian who suddenly appeared in front of him, Qin Yingwu's expression instantly became extremely exciting, only to hear him eagerly explain to Yang Jian in a resignation tone like skipping class and being caught by the teacher: "What, I...... I, I didn't come in on my own initiative, I ......"
"Are you trying to say that you were forced?" Yang Jian raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly.
Qin Yingwu suddenly seemed to be choked and couldn't speak.
But fortunately, it seems that Yang Jian's focus is not on his stupid apprentice.
"Monkey," Yang Jian turned his head to look at Sun Wukong on the side, "Can't you wait?"
"Wait?" Sun Wukong was stunned when he heard this, and the flames in the golden eyes that were burning all the time couldn't help but be darkened, "What are you kidding, it's so fun here, how can there be a reason not to come in but just wait at the door?"
"......" Hearing the words similar to the fried hair of a wild cat (although this thing is obviously a monkey, but for some reason, Yang Jian always thinks of a cat involuntarily when he looks at his current appearance), Yang Jian shook his head helplessly.
"Monkey, according to the previous agreement - although you did not come during the meeting, but you yourself said today that you unconditionally obey the relevant provisions of this agreement - in short, this place was jointly developed by the three of us, then according to the terms of the agreement, for the sake of fairness, our three representatives must enter this hall at the same time!"
"Formalism!" Sun Wukong reached out his little finger and plucked his ears with some disdain when he heard this.
"You've been a Buddha for thousands of years, can't you be more mature?"
"Cut, it's funny that you've smoothed out the edges and corners yourself, but you come to blame me!"
“…… Do you have to be beaten up to listen to me?"
"Hey, let me tell you, I just punched you with three eyes!
"yes, how do I seem to remember that this is the third time you've lost to me?"
"I rely on !!!!!!!"
"Ahem, Master...... Oh no, Master, what do you mean by imprisoning the power of two beliefs?"
Just when Yang Jian and Wukong were about to fight again, Qin Yingwu's voice interjected weakly.
The three of them suddenly chose to remain silent in a strange way.
"Ahem," two seconds later, Yang Jian took the lead in speaking, "What, do you want to listen?"
Although Yang Jian's words did not have a clear direction, the other two knew who he was talking about.
"Hmph, who is so shameless?!!" Sun Wukong's figure disappeared in place. When his voice came again, it was already above the towering canopy of the golden tree in the center of the main hall.
"Whew-" Yang Jian closed his eyes and let out a sigh. Then, he spoke: "What is the power of this first power of faith, I think you already know, for us immortals, it is both a tonic and a poison......"
"It's still a scalpel!" The one on the canopy of the tree was tall, and a speech interrupted Yang Jian's lecture.
However, Yang Jian was not angry this time.
"That's right," Yang Jian bowed slightly, obviously agreeing with Sun Wukong's statement, "It's still a scalpel—to be precise, it's a cosmetic scalpel." ”
"This positioning and the previous two positioning...... Why does this thing change so much in style?" Qin Yingwu only felt that his brain had a habitual short circuit again (hey, why do you say it?).
"That's nature, and the saying 'there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers,' is also used here. Before praying to the statue of the deity, people had to build a statue...... Even if it is a portrait, the memory of the craftsman is uneven, and each person's understanding of the doctrine and gods is always different in one way or another. When believers pray toward the appearance of the gods they fantasize in their hearts, the power of faith will have an impact on God to a greater or lesser extent—the power of one person is small, but the influence of a thousand, ten thousand, or even millions of believers cannot be ignored. In a way, absorbing the power of faith is like pouring dye into clear water, and the more you pour it, the more colorful the water becomes, but in the end, the water is no longer as clear as it was at the beginning—in a sense, the bucket is no longer the original bucket. ”
"There is still such an operation?" Hearing this, Qin Yingwu was frightened.
"In fact, in the past, this was nothing, after all, the ancient people's ideas were more rigid and superstitious, generally speaking, in their concepts, the appearance of the gods is more dignified, majestic, with such a general direction, even if there is a deviation, the gods are generally the same. And those subtle differences—like a person's occasional eyebrow trim or face shave—are trivial in the eyes of a god who can control his form. Therefore, in the past, the change of the power of faith to the appearance of the gods was more manifested in the equipment - just like when you usually play online games to equip yourself with a demon and a block of gems, different materials will produce different effects. Sometimes, when the power of faith is strong enough, it can even come together to create a magic weapon for you that you don't have in the sky - this is especially evident in some folklore, romances, and scripts - so you can still earn it. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Jian showed a rare strange expression: "Of course, there will still be victims, such as Guan Erye, who was forcibly deducted a green hat on his head...... This is the most typical person who was miserably equipped in the old times. As for the appearance of the victim, it is not nothing, then who is the king of Yama, since he went down to earth, his face is as black as charcoal, and there is an inexplicable crescent moon on his forehead, this is the victim. ”
“…… I'll go" Now Qin Yingwu feels that he is about to turn into a spit star, but for some reason, Qin Yingwu always feels that there are some strange things in Master's words, such as: "Master, you seem to have said just now that this was 'in the past'?"
“…… Yes. ”
"And now?"
"Look at you like this, have you ever heard of 'sexual transformation' and 'motherhood'?"
"......" If Qin Yingwu was able to find any grooves from Yang Jian's description before, then now, he can't even spit out a groove. Now he even felt an inexplicable chill in addition to the absurdity—from a certain part of him.
Qin Yingwu's weirdness naturally also attracted his master's attention: "Hey, come back to the soul!" - just as Yang Jian was about to reach out and cast a spell to calm his mind and calm his mind for Qin Yingwu, so as to avoid any tragedy such as "a certain school student committed suicide because he couldn't bear the pressure of his studies", a sudden change occurred!
"I'll go !!!!!" At this moment, at this moment, Qin Yingwu was like a soul possessed, as if it was not Qin Yingwu himself who was standing in front of Yang Jian now, but the Roaring Emperor.
"Nima, what kind of mess is this!!!!!, ahh
"This kid ......" Faced with such an emergency, Yang Jian said: "Okay, it's hopeless." ”
Suddenly, as if he had heard something, Yang Jian raised his head and shouted, "Monkey, are you breaking branches?
"......," a slightly embarrassed voice came from the top of the canopy, "It's okay, Mo Fang!"
"......" Yang Jian took a lot of effort before swallowing back the mouthful of old blood that came to his mouth, "Although it's a projection, you're too messy, aren't you?"
"Huh?" The ghost sent the gods, Yang Jian's words actually woke up Qin Yingwu, who was going farther and farther on the road of collapse, "What kind of projection?"
"Uh...... You don't really think that this golden tree in front of you is the world tree that supports the nine kingdoms in Norse mythology, do you?"
"Hold up...... I'll go!" Suddenly, Qin Yingwu, who was thinking about Yang Jian's words, had an idea that didn't seem very reliable.
"We're standing on the World Tree right now. Yang Jian said with a natural expression that Qin Yingwu had not yet had time to speak.
