Chapter Ninety-Seven: Admission
Since it is mentioned that the weapons of human beings against demons and monsters are spiritual, here by the way, I will talk about the essence of non-human existence such as monsters and demons.
For the ordinary cold weapons and even modern thermal weapons used by human beings in this world, they cannot effectively kill and injure inhuman beings with immediate effect as they do against human beings themselves. Of course, this is really for the big monsters and demons in the real sense; As for the half-blooded, low-level miscellaneous monsters, they are in many cases as vulnerable as humans.
Secondly, there are also some non-human races that have a relationship with their own characteristics. For example, as an undead ghost, unless it is a resurrected skeleton walking corpse and the like (zombies, especially Eastern zombies, are almost not afraid of bullets and knives); Otherwise, it basically doesn't eat physical attacks. In this way, general cold weapons, firearms, etc., of course, are ineffective. Energy damage or explosive weapons can deal limited damage.
For example, werewolves, especially high-level werewolves, may not be able to completely kill them even with rocket launchers unless they are silver weapons.
All of these examples are based on their ethnic characteristics.
In addition, it also depends on whether it has been assimilated by the three-dimensional world in essence to what extent. After all, being in this world, you will inevitably have to communicate with the whole world, and if your own strength is too weak, its essence will inevitably be affected by the world in which you live, although it will gradually assimilate with the passage of time.
At this point, it is valid in every aspect and for what kind of object. For example, ghosts and ghosts that have been active in the yang world for too long will either gradually weaken (the essence yin qi is consumed) due to being contaminated with the yang world's popularity or anger, or take the initiative to adapt to changes, such as sucking blood and eating living things and essences, etc., so that they themselves can bring some characteristics of three-dimensional life (advanced mutations), and then adapt to the yang world. It can stay in the sun for a long time and even manifest during the day, and it is also like the earth-binding spirit, which is the leader of this change.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful a ghost spirit who has never entered the yang world grows up in the spirit world and the underworld, once he rashly enters the yang world, he will be greatly weakened or even rejected. And the demon race is even more so, as mentioned earlier, the aura environment of the demon world is completely different from the human world, and the demon race entering the human world is like a fish on the shore and landing on land, and it feels very uncomfortable and even uncomfortable. The lost forces are almost impossible to recover. It's just that because of its strength, the demons can temporarily suppress and ignore such restrictions, and resist with their own strength. But once the vitality is greatly damaged or seriously injured, it can no longer bear such harsh consumption and rejection, and if you can't stop the loss, such as returning to the demon realm or through blood sacrifices, or using means such as the transformation of leyline energy, you will die.
In fact, in essence, the main source of the monster race is the demon race and even the half-blood descendants who settled in the mortal world in ancient times, and gradually adapted to the aura environment of the mortal world over thousands of years, and changed too many traits in order to live freely in the human world without hindrance. Of course, there are also some of the survival and even degeneration of the celestial and human gods, or the mating with humans and demons to give birth to mixed-race descendants, etc., humans and demons also have mixed-race descendants, these are all called "monsters".
And the so-called inhuman races born on the earth in the human world are "goblins", such as flower spirits, little fairies and other small things with weak abilities. At the same time, there is a considerable degree of unchanging trait in the monster - the power from the original bloodline, so it can quickly adapt even if it enters the demon realm (humans do not have this ability, because humans are pure mortal world three-dimensional life. Unless humans transform themselves into similar monsters and demons through some special means, they can adapt to the demon world). This is similar to the amphibious and amphibian biochemical lungfish in ordinary organisms, amphibians, lungfish can both go ashore and go into the water, and the same is true for amphibians. But in the end, there is still a most suitable environment.
For ordinary monsters, the earth in the human world is the most comfortable, because they have adapted to the aura environment in the human world, and it is uncomfortable to go to the demon world.
However, as mentioned above, if you are assimilated too much into the essence of the three-dimensional world, it itself will gradually approach or even transform into a three-dimensional life. It can be said that the monsters in the mortal world are actually in a state of gradual weakening. The more generations it inherits, the thinner its original bloodline becomes. And the ability of the monster comes precisely from the original origin bloodline. It's just that this weakening process is very slow. Therefore, the demons of the demon world, as a natural race with pure origin blood, look down on the monsters in the mortal world, and they are all mixed-race mongrels and things that do not enter the stream. Even if it's a big monster with pure blood, it's despised. Without him, the purity of the bloodline determines the strength and weakness of the talent.
This is why youkai born in the mortal realm tend to fear that human weapons (both cold and hot) can harm them. And the demons who infiltrated from the demon world are unscrupulous and fearful of the reasons why human beings are very afraid. However, the reason why youkai is a youkai is that it has inhuman powers and abilities. The more pure-blooded a youkai is, the stronger the bloodline power of its race. Moreover, this world earth is still a world with a very high energy level and abundant spiritual energy. If the monster is strong, it can resist the damage caused by human weapons with its own natural ability and even demonic energy.
Not to mention the defensive spells derived from various spells such as black sorcery, secret arts, magic, and Taoism. Yokai can cast spells, and almost all of them have so-called natural spells or special abilities, which can also be called quasi-spells. Although there are strong and weak talents, there are limitations to abilities. But it's really a lot stronger than humans! Ordinary humans do not possess such special natural abilities.
Therefore, from the perspective of race, as a three-dimensional life in the full sense, human beings are really born to be really bad. One has no advantage of minions, two has no strength of muscles and bones, and three has no natural ability. Almost omnipotent—you can do anything, but you can't do anything.
Compared with wild beasts, human wisdom is the capital of their pride in all things. With wisdom, we can produce the ultimate sublimation of social attributes - civilization. At least in the human world, only human beings on the earth have developed social attributes through their innate wisdom attributes, and then deduced civilization. This is the foundation of human strength. Those inhuman races that also possess intelligence are uncivilized......
In addition, compared to non-human beings who also possess intelligence, human numbers and reproductive abilities are also one of their strengths. That's right. Humans are definitely better than the inhuman races, which are also intelligent. From the perspective of the natural world as a whole, if we compare the higher animals, only humans can enter the so-called "estrus" state all the time of the year. It is precisely because of the talent of wisdom and the advantage of fertility that human beings can ascend to the throne of the ruling race in the mortal world step by step. Leave behind the higher animals that lack intelligence and the inhuman, intelligent races that lack civilization or reproductive superiority, despite their intelligence and natural abilities......
But then again, this can't be compared to the so-called higher-level existence of the gods (celestials) and demons from the heavenly realm or the demon realm. Because in this world, human civilization itself is influenced by these gods (celestials) and demons to make progress or change.
As early as a very long time ago, the channel between the heavenly realm and the demon realm to connect the mortal world was opened, and the gods and demons poured into the mortal world one after another. When they fought against each other, they also left behind many half-breed descendants, some mixed with mortals and some mixed with each other. These first descendants possessed extraordinary abilities and inherited the strength and talent of their father or mother. They are the "monsters" that are different from the Celestial Divine Race and the Demon Realm Demon Race.
After the true gods and demon gods, as the managers and guardians of the entire world, began to interfere in the mortal war, restraining and even forcing the celestial gods and the demon world demons to withdraw from the mortal world to maintain the balance of the three realms.
The mortal world has entered an era similar to the absence of tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the overlord. The forsaken half-breeds (youkai) began to dominate the mortal world. But in this way, this kind of situation is almost no different from the situation where the Celestial God Race and the Demon Race are still fighting. Those half-blood descendants (youkai) are also powerful and unscrupulous, more ignorant and fearless than the original Celestial Gods and Demon Realm Demons.
For this reason, as the gods and demon gods who truly control the heavenly and demon worlds, they began to support the intelligent race of human beings as the original of the mortal world, so that they gradually became bigger and stronger. Therefore, when human beings were manipulated by various secret hands to improve their own civilization, they began an epic war for the dominance of the mortal world with the help of the gods and demons behind them. Those myths and legends that have been handed down in ancient times are the records and witnesses of the war that lasted for thousands of years.
Since then, the "monsters", a group of descendants of half-blood gods and demons, have been suppressed and expelled by humans, and have to hide in the mountains and wilderness, waiting for leisure and not daring to show their heads. And the original inhuman intelligent life in the mortal world - the "goblin" race (flower spirits, little fairies, etc.) because of its natural fragility, as early as the era of the god race and the demon race melee was not much stronger than the human weak and bullied, and in the epic war period of human beings for the right to rule the mortal world, it was even more expelled and eliminated by the arrogant human beings as the same kind of "monsters" (anyway, all non-humans are the same treatment). In fact, human beings are no worse than monsters or demons when it comes to cruelty and savagery. It is only because human beings, as a primitive intelligent race in the mortal world, and are not born with special abilities, which are certainly less destructive, that they are favored by the gods and demon gods as pawns to balance the mortal world.
When human beings basically suppressed other inhuman intelligent races and became the dominant family, human civilization entered a historical period of cannibalism. In the 5,000 years since the creation and gradual maturity of writing, the historical process of human civilization is actually a history of human cannibalism, and the driving force for the progress of civilization is war! The war between human beings and human beings, the brutal war that destroys each other, the winner takes all, moves the civilization forward. And because human beings are born with a lack of special abilities, and under the manipulation and intervention of the gods and demon gods behind their backs, human beings have embarked on a scientific and technological civilization route completely different from that of the Celestial God Race and the Demon Realm Demon Race, and even have a long-term impact on the civilization of the above two high-level races.
Well, it's a bit off-topic to talk a little more. This world is not the demonless plane without any mystery that Sima Qiudao was born in. Except for the fact that this 5,000-year history of human beings killing each other and promoting the development of civilization is very similar, everything else is completely different. Behind it is a different real mystery propulsion.
Returned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Headquarters of the GHOSTSWEEPER Trade Association. When Sima Qiudao changed into the Zhengang Hidden Suit and Shi Shiran walked into the testing hall, everyone who had been waiting inside for a long time was very surprised.
Well, they were surprised by Sima Qiudao's outfit. But anyone who knows a little bit about Chinese culture can see that Sima Qiudao is wearing ancient costumes, as for the so-called Taoist costumes, well, don't be too embarrassed. If you want to show your character and improve your aura, Sima Qiudao succeeded. Although the people are unknown, they feel powerful, and they say that this Taoist priest of Youfang is forced from the way he dresses, but he doesn't know what his real skills are. What's more, it has also aroused the fighting spirit of some people; For example, Meishen Suzuko wants to try her skills and explore Sima's hole cards.
Overall, although the effect is good, but that's it, after all, this is Japan under modern civilization, and everyone has seen more gorgeous clothes, but I didn't expect Sima Qiudao to wear it like this. Moreover, everyone present was not a layman, and everyone could see that Sima Qiudao was wearing ordinary clothes, and there was no manifestation of the so-called spiritual costume, such as the blessing of the mysterious side power, the effect of special spiritual power, and so on.
Therefore, everyone at the scene wanted to know if this so-called wandering Taoist priest Sima Qiudao was just a liar who sold his reputation? What is it that makes the prestigious Shon sect of Satomaya-Kongoji Temple specially issue a certificate of apprenticeship GHOSTSWEEPER (demon scavenger), not to mention the guarantee from the guardian dragon god of Myojin Mountain, Ryuhime (princess)?
If you have such doubts, you can't blame people for guessing. Because Sima Qiudao has always habitually suppressed and hidden his cultivation and aura, he looks no different from ordinary people on the outside. This is also Sima Qiudao's saying that because of his earlier experience, he didn't want to attract attention and cause unnecessary trouble.
Although I also have some doubts in my mind, as a senior director of the GHOSTSWEEPER Trade Association Tokyo Metropolitan Headquarters, especially Father Masahiro Tang, who is in charge of this special qualification test, has an unshirkable responsibility. Therefore, when Sima Qiudao walked into the testing hall, Father Tang Long Zhenhong took the initiative to greet Sima Qiudao and greet him.
