Chapter 38: The Meridians—The Truth of the Mask

"The purpose of the Masked Man? It should be the same as your non-god association, right? Maybe they're the guardians of another world? Bai Gongzi smiled meaninglessly, "Although they are both Orientals with Zaixia, after all, there is no direct connection between Zaixia and them."

Mr. Fan didn't answer, but just squinted at the magic array in his right palm (the magic array emitted a light that confirmed the truth), and then frowned again and looked at Bai Gongzi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bai Gongzi also seemed to understand that Mr. Fan was confirming the truth of what he said, but he didn't care, and after waiting for a while, he continued, "As for what is the Mask Man?" Actually, it's not just down, Miss Sakura, she also knows Oh yes, Sakura, your guess is correct, they are indeed a group of zombies who are being manipulated! ”

Corpse? Is it really a zombie? So are they the ones I found in the Taoist Mausoleum?

I was about to ask, but I saw Bai Gongzi wave his hand at me slightly, signaling me not to speak for the time being, and at the same time he said to Mr. Fan: "Mr. Fan, do you still want to know the principle of the mask man?" This is the secret of our Taoism! ”

“……”

"In principle, it can be regarded as a secret of our Taoism" Speaking of this, Bai Gongzi gently picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely, as if he wanted to wait for Mr. Fan to give up the question, but in my opinion, it seems that Mr. Fan has no intention of giving up, so after being silent with each other for a while, Bai Gongzi only reluctantly continued, "Mr. Fan, you are really ...... Alas! Never mind! Since you have begun to agree, and Mr. Fan, you are also willing to let you borrow the ancient scrolls...... Well, let's choose what I can say, let's talk about those masked people who rely on the Taoist sigils of body surface painting. ”

"We can guess that. We wonder why? Mr. Fan didn't care about Bai Gongzi's reproach. Just asked urgently.

"Why? Oh! Is it because the Dao sigil can manipulate the masked man? Ha, in fact, even if you tell Mr. Fan, you won't understand too much, after all, Mr. Fan, you are not a Taoist master, let me think about it...... Let's put it this way, about your Western cybernetic magic. It's usually about controlling people's brains, right? ”

"That's right."

"Our Eastern Dao technique is different, the Dao technique of our control system is mainly to control the heart!"

"Heart? What's the use of that?! Mr. Fan expressed surprise.

Different from Mr. Fan's question, at this time, I thought of the group of agile Dao Fu zombies, and a group of corpses whose hearts were replaced with Dao Fu. They're the same, right?

So you won't understand that in our Taoist beliefs, in addition to the mind, there is also the heart that governs people's actions...... This means that in addition to the system of your Western brain that directs the movement of the limbs, we Taoists believe that there is another system that directs the human body, and we call this other system the meridians. ”

"Meridians? It's like a nerve? ”

"Nerves? Is that what you call it in the West? Bai Suiyun frowned slightly. How did I not listen to it?"

"This is a theory put forward by a member of our association, which can also be called a discipline, called anatomy, and the nerve is his theory about the conduction system of the brain to control the human body." Speaking of this, Mr. Fan stretched out his left wrist. Slightly clenched into a fist, "Look, my left wrist is protruding now!" I'm sorry! I forgot you can't see."

"Hah! It's okay! Bai Suiyun smiled as he stretched out his left hand. I will probably understand what you are referring to, Mr. Fan. That's right, just like the nerves you are talking about, our meridian system also has the function of controlling the human body. ”

"Where?" Mr. Fan asked.

"You can't touch this! Maybe you can't find it even if you dissect the human body like you did. ”

"This ...... How so? "Mr. Fan and I looked at Bai Gongzi strangely.

"After all, the meridians are our Taoist doctrine, Sakura, Mr. Fan can't understand it, it's right, but if you can't understand it, you should be punished!" Bai Gongzi deliberately scolded with a straight face.

"Well...... Feel? I asked tentatively.

"That's right! You have to remember! 'Feeling' is the foundation of our Taoism! It doesn't matter if you don't understand Mr. Fan, you just need to know that the Dao sigil on the masked man can make their meridian system work. And then control their movements, just like those marionettes in your West, and the Dao Fu zombies with their hearts attached to the Dao Talisman, are based on the same theory. ”

“…… So why are they burning? Is it because the Dao rune seal is out of control? Mr. Fan thought for a moment. Asked again.

"Yes."

"Then why are they so agile?"

"Agile? Oh! You're saying it's different from the zombies in the West? It's very simple, your Western magic is to control the brain first, and when you want to control it, the basic brain is not working, as for the brain of the Western zombie is in a dead state, and the natural action is slow, although I don't understand your magic very well, but you should manipulate the zombies to give instructions to the zombies, and then they take action according to the instructions, right? And our Dao technique controls the meridians! That is, like a marionette, it is directly controlled**, it does not need to be issued and accepted by instructions, and it can naturally exert the ability of the human body itself...... It will be even stronger! ”

"Stronger?!"

"Well...... Without going through the brain, not afraid of injury, you can perfectly exert your best ability, which naturally includes potential. ”

"Oh...... ...... then" Mr. Fan lowered his head again and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and asked with a little hesitation, "That Bai Gongzi, I have one last question"

"Please."

"Again, do you know who the masked man really is? Yes! I'm not trying to make it clear to you, I mean"

"After all, our Bai family is the head of the Taoist family, even if we don't know who it is, there will be a direction," Bai Suiyun interrupted him with a smile and asked, "Mr. Fan, is it?" ”

"That's right," Mr. Fan nodded, "and after all, there are very few Easterners who can come to our west, Bai Gongzi, you should at least know some clues, right?" …… And you also know the principle of the Mask Man, so can you think of which person or which Taoist faction can manipulate the Mask Man? ”

"This ...... Hard! Bai Suiyun hesitated, and finally shook his head, "Mr. Fan, don't you know that there are too many branches of our Taoism, and besides, many Taoist masters like to hide themselves, and it is difficult to find out if they don't deliberately, as for the person you said who might manipulate the mask man...... Sorry, I can only tell you some clues that are not clues. Please don't mind. ”

"It's okay, even a little clue!"

"Well...... I once said this when teaching Miss Sakura, we Taoist masters are a group of people who believe in nature and conform to the way of heaven, and our lives are given by nature, and we don't belong to ourselves. ”

"Then you mean to say," Mr. Fan was shocked, "they are evil"

"Please let me finish speaking," Bai Suiyun smiled, "Although it is a Taoist technique that is spurned and hated, it also has the meaning of its existence, which is also the theory of our Taoists!" Therefore, as long as a few conditions are met, it is also permissible to manipulate corpses with Dao techniques. ”

"Conditions?"

"Yes, condition. First, following the way of heaven means that similar to your following God's guidance, our highest faith is heaven. Second, have the consciousness of sacrificing everything for the sake of righteousness...... Probably about the same as your martyrs, right? In short, it is to give everything completely for one's faith; As for the third ...... The third is the ability of the Dao technique, not to mention. In short, what I can tell you below is that the person who can manipulate the masked man will never be an evil person! ”

"Is it possible that they are completely evil?" Mr. Fan asked, "Don't care about the consequences?" ”

"Do you know what it means to go against the sky for us Daoists?" Bai Suiyun tilted his face slightly to me, "Sakura, can you tell Mr. Fan?" Don't tell me you've forgotten the taboo of our Daoists! ”

"How?" I replied solemnly, "Heaven will punish you, and you will be destroyed!" (To be continued......)
