Chapter 172: The Seven Secret Texts of the Earth [Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Gu Jun's fingers gently rubbed the cover of this spell book, the old paper was very unfamiliar to the touch, he turned the first page, and there was a line of text written on it, like the title of the book. This kind of writing is like Chinese characters, but it is not a large seal or a traditional simplified Chinese type, but a strange font, which is vaguely recognizable:
γThe Seven Secret Texts of the Earthγ
Over time, the spell book must have had many names, making its original name difficult to find, and it is difficult to find out who wrote it.
"This font?" Gu Jun looked at Wu Shiyu, but she also shook her head: "The first time I saw it, we didn't have this." β
She said and nibbled on another bite of bread. Although this bread is very simple in appearance, the texture and taste are really good, and it also makes her feel some pleasant music. It's just the name of this spell book that makes her seem to look straight into the abyss again.
Barse, the gray-bearded old man, said to be careful with it......
"This is the Chinese in which Mr. Balse came from?" Gu Jun felt that even if the old man was from the earth, he was not the world they were familiar with.
The original spell book was supposed to be written in oracle bone script, and the subsequent translations and manuscripts, no matter what the text was, were also a kind of reinterpretation.
He flipped through the whole book first, but was surprised to see that except for a small part at the beginning, the words on the back of the paper were blurred, as if they had been soaked in water.
"Mr. Balse, what's going on?" Gu Jun opened the book, turned his head and asked the gray-bearded old man in the distance, don't you give it like this, right?
"This book, one secret chapter after another." The gray-bearded old man said gently, "To you, those are vague words, but in my opinion, they are all very clear. If you haven't walked the road ahead, you won't be able to get to the back position. β
Gu Jun understood, that is, he had to practice chapter by chapter, and at that moment he began to look at the first secret chapter.
Although the text of the spell book is weird, he and Wu Shiyu can still recognize it together, but the style of the spell book is extremely obscure, like what "the line must be tangible, the bird is not lost", "no day, no moon, no day and no time", after reading it, I feel that I know every word, and I don't know what it means when I put it together.
"It's exactly the same as the name of your Western medicine." Wu Shiyu described it like this.
"The name of the drug has a chemical structure, and this one doesn't seem to have one." Gu Jun said, remembering the sentence taught by Mr. Ulham in the previous vision, the spell book has its spirit and vitality, and the old man Barse also means this, Langton also said in the spell book notes, what words are written is not the point.
The focus is on the power of words, to touch and feel with the spirit.
"Let's try it." Gu Jun explained to Wu Shiyu that if he had any abnormalities, he would wake him up in time.
Then he gathered his spirits and began to touch the words of the first secret chapter, not thinking about what they meant, but trying to connect each word in his mind and feel the power of their composition...... The name of the medicine has a chemical structure, and the spell also has a structure......
It's like a living thing.
Gu Jun suddenly remembered a concept in biology, where structure determines function.
It is the structure of the wings that determines the way of flight, and the structure of the lungs that determines the way of breathing, and there is a difference between humans and birds and dead skin people.
Protein structure determines the function of enzymes, DNA structure determines how genes work, and nerve structure determines how to act and think......
He was reminded of "connectomics", which is a comprehensive mapping of brain regions and the structure of neuronal networks in the nervous system in order to figure out how the brain works. The so-called "spirit" may fall into this category...... Attributed to those extremely complex synapses, neurons, networks.
"Let its spirit transform your spirit, and let its life force transform your life force."
Gu Jun suddenly understood that Teacher Ulham's words were not a metaphor, but a situation that would actually happen, and the power of this secret chapter was clearly resonating with his body.
Practicing the spell changes the structure of the neuronal network! Real physiological changes.
Ghoul Chen Fade's bones are densely covered with erosion lines...... Are those similar to some kind of neural circuits?
He suddenly became more enlightened, and he felt that there were some shadows surging, and this feeling was like when they were outside the cave, and Chen Fade was summoning those giant bats inside the cave, and the surrounding abnormal fluctuations......
"Hmm." Gu Jun came back to his senses as soon as he thought about it, because he had a lot of questions, so he stopped practicing first.
"This first secret chapter seems to be a summoning spell." He was suspicious of Wu Shiyu, "But I don't know what to summon." β
Wu Shiyu didn't think much when he heard it, but the gray-bearded old man in the distance seemed surprised and muttered, "You are very talented." β
If I have talent, you can teach more, Gu Jun immediately took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Balse, practicing the spell will change your mind and body, right?" β
"You already know that?" The gray-bearded old man looked at him, "You are very talented. Then you should understand how the ordinary mind and body can accept extraordinary powers? The spell book is going to change you. Whether this change is good or bad is up to you. β
Gu Jun touched his head with his eyebrows, and sure enough......
If humans had enough knowledge in the field of connectomics, if the neuronal network was as clear as a circuit diagram, rather than tangled like a spider's web.
Then when he dissected the head of the red-robed man in the afterlife and Chen Fade in the afterlife, he should have more understanding of his mutations.
"Mr. Balse." Therefore, he had another question, "If you have practiced all the mantras, will you become a different kind of being?" Can I touch other spells? "That's one of Dr. Carlopp's sacrifices.
"There are many sources of supernatural power." The gray-bearded old man said, "You can't touch every single one. β
Gu Jun nodded slightly, this truth is simple......
The spells practiced by the Lralayites were different from those of ghouls, and the ghouls were different from those of the xenolites.
They have different worships, different sources of power.
Therefore, the spell book is divided into sources of power, and it seems that the type of mantra that is fixed can only develop towards that category in the future.
"What is the source of the Seven Secret Texts of the Earth?" He asked again, the gods of the earth, the seven secret canons of the earth?
"Knowing too much won't do you any good." The gray-bearded old man just said, "Practicing only the first secret chapter will not change you, and it will be the choice when you reach the third secret chapter." β
"Oh." Gu Jun was silent, this kind of thing is the same as filling in the major after the college entrance examination, it must be comprehensively considered and carefully chosen.
In his own situation, it would have been more appropriate to practice the mantra of worshipping the "goddess of life", but for now...... There was no other choice.
Then Gu Jun asked some more questions, but the gray-bearded old man seemed to be exhausted and did not answer half a sentence.
After him, Wu Shiyu also tried to practice the first secret chapter, she could have the feeling of spiritual contact, although it was not as fast as him, she could still get started.
The sea had been foggy, and they looked at the spell and talked, and it was only about five or six hours since they got on the boat, and the shadow of the island gradually appeared in the fog ahead, and the island was not big in the past, but there were mountains in the distance, and the reef on the shore was unkempt, and the woods were dark and gloomy.
Gu Junji looked at the desert island in front of him, and felt that it was there.
"That's where you're going, get ready to get off the boat." The gray-bearded old man said lightly, "The storm is coming. β
