Chapter 275: Offering the Fire Trick (I)
——In the dark nothingness, the man and Zhang Liang both stood up.
They stared at the window screen nine meters away, and saw Miyamoto Musashi's resolute back, their expressions silent.
It was that back that blocked the dazzling edges of countless lightsabers, and also blocked the despair between Zhang Liang and death.
Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Zhang Liang's eyes couldn't help but tremble. Although he knew that he would not die, he did not expect that it would be Miyamoto Musashi who stood up and blocked the impact of hundreds of lightsabers for him.
"You don't have to be surprised." The man noticed the slightly trembling expression on Zhang Liang's face, turned his eyes back and whispered, "Miyamoto Musashi is doing this completely to repay your previous life-saving kindness." ”
And Zhang Liang didn't reply, just said softly after being silent for a moment.
"Fate has predestined the future of all people, and everything has a cause and effect - so in order to achieve the effect of 'I survived', there must be a cause for 'someone else died for me', right?"
"Yes." The man sighed and said, "In the dark, heaven's will determines fate, and it is not wrong to understand it this way......"
"Let me go back......" Zhang Liang said suddenly. When the words came out, warm tears wet the pupils again, "I don't want to sit here 'leisurely' anymore and watch right and wrong......"
"As a 'shameful' survivor, I want to at least see everyone's last ...... in reality"
"You can go whenever you want. It's all up to your heart. The man's gaze twitched slightly, but his expression was still very calm.
"It's just, have you really figured it out?" As soon as the words fell, the man raised his gaze and stared into Zhang Liang's eyes, "Are you already, really willing to compromise with fate and providence?" ”
"Does it have anything to do with whether I want to or not?" Zhang Liang asked nonchalantly, and then took a long breath, trying to calm his mind.
"Time will wash everything anyway, and there will always be a day when I am downcast......"
The man looked into Zhang Liang's eyes, looked at the last helplessness and resentment in those eyes, and sensed the opportunity.
"Then before time washes away the sorrow, before the prophecy of fate is fulfilled - do you want to take a gamble?"
"Take a gamble?" Zhang Liang's voice was obviously surprised, and then he said with a cold gaze, "What can you bet on now?" ”
"Those of us who live in fate, the past and the future are all examined by the providence of the underworld, what qualifications do we have to gamble with this heaven."
"And what if I say—I have a way of deceiving the eyes of providence?" The man's eyes were calm and he said softly.
"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Zhang Liang suddenly turned his gaze and looked at the man with a stunned expression.
"Literally." The man replied softly, with no expression on his plain face, "If I can blind the eyes of Providence, do you want to gamble?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Liang did not answer the man's question, but asked out loud. The man's words were beyond his thinking, and he subconsciously felt an indescribable chill.
And the man looked at Zhang Liang's eyes calmly, and said with a deep gaze.
"Change the prophecy."
"Change the prophecy?" Zhang Liang repeated these four words in his mouth, the pupils of his eyes suddenly dilated, the color of shock was overflowing, and even his voice couldn't help but tremble, "This...... This kind of thing...... Is it possible......? ”
"As long as it hasn't happened, anything is possible—" The man said with a fiery gaze in his eyes.
However, Zhang Liang's expression suddenly changed again, and he asked in surprise: "But 'it didn't happen' is just for us!" ”
"The so-called past and future, the so-called unknowns and possibilities are only for us human beings - in the face of Providence, the time is always in front of us, and there is nothing that has not yet happened. Everything written in the prophecy is the fact that the destiny has been settled. ”
"Isn't that what you said before?"
"Yes, that's right." The man looked at Zhang Liang, his expression was still calm, "The past, the present, and the future - the time dimension exists in front of Providence at the same time from beginning to end. Providence has decided everything, and all the notes on the sheet of fate will be played in order. ”
"All the prophecies written in the ancient book of words and spirits are about to happen, and there is nothing wrong with that."
"But!"
As the words ended, the man looked at the chaotic look in Zhang Liang's eyes, and exhaled a deep "but".
"But—there will be times when providence will be ignored!"
"If we erase the prophecy of this book when Providence ignores it, we erase all this dusty fate. Providence must re-adjudicate and re-adjudicate the outcome of this three-realm crisis! ”
"We can change—" The man paused. At this moment, his breath was as deep as the deep sea, but his eyes were as bright as the moon, "Change the prophecy of 'Emperor Qin's Three Realms'!" ”
Zhang Liang listened to the man's words, and his chaotic eyes became brighter and brighter, like a trace of spark rubbing out of the dark night wasteland, burning and scorching the entire pupil.
He almost trembled in his voice and muttered in disbelief, "Just ...... It's as simple as that...... Is it that simple? ”
"It's not easy at all." The man took a deep breath and said.
"But you can do it—can you do it, right?" Zhang Liang almost became excited, and even his voice became hot with his gaze, "You can deceive the eyes of Providence, you can erase the prophecies in ancient books, you can change the ending of all of us here—you can do all this, so let me appear here, right?" ”
"I can do it, but the key is not me, but you." The man opened his eyes and said seriously to Zhang Liang.
"In me?" Zhang Liang subconsciously asked rhetorically, but the surprise in his eyes quickly dissipated, and then he immediately said, "What do you need me to do?" Just say it. Or do you need me to hand over something? You said. ”
Zhang Liang understood what the man meant when he thought about it, everything changes have to pay a price, and if they want to erase the prophecy here to change the outcome of everything, they will definitely have to pay a huge price. And the man's words said that the key is Zhang Liang, and the implication naturally means that most of the so-called "price" is on Zhang Liang.
And the man did not shy away from it, so he looked directly into Zhang Liang's eyes and said the answer word by word.
"I need your knack - I need your 'fire knack' of the three."
After Zhang Liang heard the man's words, his face turned cold, and his eyes were obviously frozen for a moment.
"You have studied with your teacher for more than 20 years, and you must know the 'three tricks' if you are well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge."
The man keenly saw the stagnation in Zhang Liang's eyes, so he continued calmly.
Zhang Liang didn't speak, just nodded.
The "three tricks" do not refer to something unique to Zhang Liang himself, but a very special "thing" that human beings, all people in this world have.
Since ancient times, there has always been a mysterious saying in the Three Realms, which has only been passed down by word of mouth among a few wise people. It is said that behind the pupil of the left eye of a human being, there are three tiny black daughter bodies in the gap between the lens of the eyeball and the vitreous.
They are like three unidentified particles hiding in a submicroscopic or even microscopic field of vision, and they are like three extremely tiny dimensional gaps lurking in the real world. They are both real and exact "beings" and real "nothings", full of extreme unknowns and mysteries.
This is the "three tips".
According to the ancients, the "three knots" are the foundation of human life. The three mysterious and unknown black sub-nations are also different in their bodies, they are called "Fire Hole", "Heart Hole" and "Spirit Hole", and they are holding on to their own mysteries, but what they have in common is that they are actually connected to the most important ingredient in the essence of a person's life.
It's just that this so-called "the most important ingredient in the essence of life" has not been explained exactly, and what Zhang Liang knows about the "three tricks" ends here.
In fact, the origin of the "three tricks" theory is unknown, and it has been passed down for a long time, but it has never been truly confirmed by human beings. In other words, it has no scientific basis that can be supported, and to put it bluntly, it is just an empty talk that is more conjecture than imagination, and I don't know when it came out of someone's mouth, but it has been circulated for thousands of years, and it has become an eternal strange talk.
Therefore, in the eyes of most modern scholars and scientologists in the Three Realms, the statement of "three tricks" is a kind of metaphysical conjecture divorced from reality. At the same time, it is precisely because of its extreme irrationality and abstraction that even if society has never deliberately blocked information, it has not been able to be widely circulated among the social population.
To this day, the term "three tips" is a completely blank concept for most people in the world. Even scholars who specialize in the study of history know very few of them the "three know-hows".
But Zhang Liang, of course he knows. Not only know, but also believe.
Zhang Liang believes in the absurd theory of "three tricks". Just like the man said, after studying with his teacher Jiang Shang for more than 20 years, he understands very well what the "three tricks" are alluding to.
If you understand, you can understand, and if you understand, you can believe.
Under the teaching of his teacher Jiang Shang, in addition to the most basic rumors about the "three tricks", Zhang Liang also knew a little more about the "three tricks". It was this that made him willing to understand and believe that the absurd and unprovoked theory of "three tricks" was worth believing.
Along with the strange rumors, there has always been a definite saying that in addition to the so-called "most important ingredient in the essence of life", the "three tips" also contain the mystery of human "awakening"!
This is just a conjecture, just like other statements about the "three tips" that cannot be confirmed, but even if it cannot be verified, it is a conjecture with great significance and value!
When the "Three Tips" and "Awakening" are connected, the whole thing seems to have changed in a new way.
"Awakening", as the strongest potential force in the human body, has always been full of many mysteries. For thousands of years, human beings have continued to study and explore, but they have never been able to unravel the essence of the special form of "awakening" in the human body.
History has given birth to generations of strong people who can break through the limit and achieve "awakening", but the world still doesn't know why human beings can "awaken"? Why can the "awakening" of human beings bring about a change in the image of the whole body? Why can human beings still have the so-called "secret power" after "awakening"?
There are too many questions to be solved, but there is only one thing that people have always been sure of - "awakening" cannot exist for no reason, and this potential force must have a source!
So where does it come from? Where is the cause of its occurrence?
No one knows, no one can solve it.
But if you calm down and think about it, there are actually many details of "awakening" that are worth paying attention to.
For example, the most intuitive point is, why does everyone have to cover their left eye with their hands or other things when they are awakened?
The widely circulated explanation is that this is the experience of human activities accumulated over a long period of human history, and when a person who has realized "awakening" covers his left eye with his hand, he can naturally stimulate his own awakening form.
A more detailed explanation is that when a person covers the vision of the left eye with a hand or something else, the light of the left eye is covered from the outside. In biological vision, the vision of the two eyes is synchronized and coordinated, and such an act will make the black and white vision of the two eyes overlap, further reversing the yin and yang in the human body in an instant. And at this moment when yin and yang are reversed, all the potential power in the human body will be naturally stimulated, forcing the self to break through the limit of life, which is the so-called "awakening".
There is nothing wrong with these explanations, and although some of the relevant knowledge has not yet been scientifically proven, the internal logic of the discourse is very rigorous, and it is possible and worthy of belief.
But, but the question is - why do you have to cover your left eye? Isn't it okay to cover your right eye?
From a physiological point of view, there is no functional difference between the left eye and the right eye. If you want to achieve the overlap of black and white in binocular vision, you can also achieve it by covering your right eye, and then the same yin and yang are reversed, and the same stimulating power is used. It stands to reason that covering the right eye should also be able to achieve "awakening".
But the truth is that it is not possible to cover the right eye - no one in history has ever been able to release awakening by covering the right eye, and anyone who awakens must cover his left eye.
In this case, things don't make sense.
Putting aside the question of the left eye and the right eye, even if a person can achieve the reversal of yin and yang in the body, where does the potential energy come from? Such a powerful and strange energy, obviously it can't all come from the human body's own magic blue energy.
So where does that energy come from? What is the difference between the left eye and the right eye?
At the end of all doubts, the "three tips" give just the right explanation.
Just imagine, if the statement about the "three tricks" is correct - behind the pupil of the left human eye, there are indeed three mysterious and unknown black descendants. Their presence creates a subtle difference between the left eye and the right eye, that is, the difference between the yin and yang reversal caused by covering the left eye and the right eye.
