Chapter 229: Cognition of the World: Heaven, Earth, Man, Yin and Yang, Life and Death

After being tortured by Lei Silent, Luo Shen's understanding of this world is no longer as completely ignorant as it was at the beginning. At least for now, Luo Shen has a general understanding of the supernatural power system in this world.

Although this Lei Wusheng is not a super master in this world, as a former sect, once joined the army and fought some small and medium-sized battles, and later became a member of the "intelligence supervision agency" of the imperial court, Lei Wusheng knows more comprehensive things and is closer to the actual situation.

First of all.

Judging from the cognition of Lei Wusheng, or the country called the 'new country', their cognition of the world and the universe is still generally at the level of "the sky is round and the place is round".

However, at this time, there was also a view and school of thought that "the sky is round like a projectile, and the ground is like a yellow egg".

However, according to Lei Wusheng, this view was only practiced for a few years during the lifetime of the founding monarch of the new dynasty, Mang, and when Mang was defeated and died in battle with his neighbors, this doctrine and many things promoted by the imperial court at that time were destroyed.

Luo Shenmo rubbed his smooth little chin - he had some associations with this 'reckless' identity.

Although "imagination" has never been a specialty of evil gods, Luo Shen, as an existence who has been a human being for so many years, can be described as an "outlier" among evil gods.

Therefore, it is not difficult for him to imagine whether this 'recklessness' is a time-traveler on a planet with a more advanced civilization.

Roshen was sure that he was stepping on a planet, not some flat land floating in the universe.

On the national side.

Lei Wusheng knew more, for this person who had joined the army and learned map knowledge, he obviously knew more about the countries in the world than the ordinary people in this city.

According to his description, the new dynasty was actually a geographically large southern power.

Together with the 'Ming' and 'Baiyue' in the south, the 'corpse Fujian' in the southwest, and the 'Yang' kingdom in the southwest, it is called the "Four Kingdoms of the South".

And since they are collectively called the "Four Southern Countries" - then the world is naturally not just these four countries.

In addition to the four southern countries, there are also the Xianshan Kingdom and the Song Kingdom in the middle of the continent.

The Tang, Qin, and Han kingdoms in the northwest.

The kingdoms of Lu, Qi and Wu in the eastern boundary.

and the two countries of Taiyin and Taiqing further north.

Of course, there are so many countries that have been said, but this is only a "big country" that the 'Great New Dynasty' thinks needs to deal with, and of course there are many countries in the world, but these are not things that Lei Wusheng can explain in detail.

Roshen himself did not care about the concepts of human polity and state.

He didn't have the slightest interest in the countries of the world in this world, but he inadvertently asked a question before he knew from Lei Silent that there were many completely different supernatural powers in the countries of this world!

……

With Lei Silent's guidance, Luo Shen discovered that the 'supernatural powers' in this world were actually not complicated.

Roughly.

The perception of the supernatural in all countries of the world is generally the same, and they all believe that there are some of the most important basic "attributes" of the world.

Just like the ancient Chinese "gold, wood, water, fire and earth", the ancient Europeans of the earth believed that "earth, fire, feng shui".

In this world, all human beings basically agree that there are seven kinds of energy in heaven and earth that cannot be seen or touched by human beings, but that make up everything in the dark.

That is – heaven, earth, man, yin, yang, life, death.

And from this.

In this way, people also think that the common mundane things in the world, as well as those supernatural things, are determined by the composition of these seven forces.

Man + Life = Living Man

From the time of conception in October, a human being is an individual composed of the spiritual energy of the human being and the energy of the mother and the natural world.

After birth, the human body and the world are constantly exchanging these invisible energies, and although the 'essence, energy' and spirit in one's own body can be continuously restored through eating and resting, the higher-level 'life' energy is predestined before birth and cannot be compensated for by ordinary means.

Therefore, the human beings here believe that when the energy of "life" is exhausted, human beings will die, and no matter how many "spirits" they still have, they will decline.

The same goes for it.

If a thing loses the important spiritual energy of "man", it is animals, plants, insects, etc.

It is different from the view on Earth that human beings are just one of thousands of animals.

The human beings here completely separate themselves from ordinary animals with the special existence of 'human spirits', which are juxtaposed with 'heaven and earth, yin and yang, life and death'.

Rather than being obsessed with the "philosophical" scientific question of whether the difference between humans and animals is 'emotional' or 'intelligent', as people on earth do, and how much the difference is.

So.

Under the guidance of these seven attributes of the worldview, everything in heaven and earth can be explained in a superficial but convincing way.

Man + Born = Human

So, is man + death equal to a ghost?

Apparently not.

The view of human beings in this world is that after death, human beings lose both the characteristics of 'human' and 'life'.

In other words, a human being in a dead state is no longer a "human" person.

So.

Human beings after death belong to 'death' – a state that is considered to be completely unaware and unable to interfere with reality and not to be interfered with by reality.

But if the so-called 'yin' is added at this time, then the dead beings will be transformed into so-called 'ghosts'.

So.

The necessary conditions for ghosts are: death + yin.

And so on.

Demons are made of animal creatures, plants, and even special items. The formation of that demon must have the characteristics of 'life' + 'yin'.

From the perspective of humans in this world, demons are divided into two types: 'heavenly demons' and 'earth demons'.

And the demon has never been regarded as a kind of living being, so its composition is naturally 'heaven + yin' and 'earth + yin'.

In Roshen's opinion.

Although this method of division is somewhat primitive and crude, it is actually not a feasible solution for human beings in a relatively primitive and powerless state of understanding the world.

This at least explains for most people the supernatural forces that exist in those worlds, avoiding many of the "completely unknown" fears.

And on this basis, the human beings of this world have also explored several complete sets of cultivation systems, which is also worthy of recognition.

Although Lei Wusheng's vision is limited, what he says when his brain is dissected is even more dull.

However, Luo Shen, as an existence that has inherited the common memories of the evil gods, can be said to have seen countless ancient civilizations and countless cosmic secrets.

At this time, it was like condescendingly, standing on the top of the mountain peak and looking down, he could naturally see many things from the information provided by Lei Wusheng that even Lei Wusheng himself did not know.

Therefore, Luo Shen still had a considerable interest in the cultivation system of this world and some legendary 'weird and evil' and 'immortal weapons'.
