Chapter 113: The Root of Strength
"Let me think about it and give you an answer tomorrow." Long Qingting said to Sun Yang on the phone.
Zhu is tired of going to India to make waves, this will definitely not be a simple matter.
There was a population second only to Great Xia, far exceeding the religious traditions of Great Xia, and he had every reason to believe that Huang Dou or Han Qi must have sent it to that place with some kind of intention.
Of course, it would be unwise to let it go, but the problem is that they have no reason to go to that place on business in the name of agents of the Great Xia Empire's Special Case Administration, and can only travel in a private capacity.
In the remote areas of India, where there is a single race, strong ethnic antagonisms, many religious fanatics, and serious caste problems, these outsiders will have a hard time. In that area, where serious conflict has already broken out, what kind of results has Zhu Yan achieved?
If it is really considered to be a Divine Monkey, any attempt to disadvantage it may be infinitely magnified and become a serious problem, attracting endless enemies.
"How can those people be so stupid?" Lu Xiaoling couldn't help but say. "Didn't anyone find out that it was a youkai?"
"In ancient times, the difference between a monster and a god was not obvious." Ma Bin said.
has been working on a cold bench in the archives for a long time, and the only benefit may be that he has seen a lot of miscellaneous things, which makes Sun Yang feel that he is much more educated.
Of course, they haven't told him Huang Dou's true identity yet. Sun Yang felt that he might be the only person in the world who would be excited about Huang Dou's true identity.
"Let's take Buddhism as an example, it is not uncommon for wicked people and evil ghosts to put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas, and in our mythological stories, there are many monsters that were originally monsters, but after being subdued by a certain power, they became gods and Buddhas. Let's talk about "Journey to the West", although the story is most likely completely fake, but it may reflect some kind of reality. You can see that the definition of monsters and immortals in it is really not big, the same is Sun Wukong, in Huaguo Mountain is the monkey demon, in the heavenly court is the immortal, followed by Tang Seng is the walker, and when he completes the process of learning scriptures in the west, he becomes a Buddha. Is there any radical change in his essence or thinking in the middle? Actually, no. ”
"I think it's more worth considering what Zhu Yan is doing there." Sun Yang said.
"Have you ever thought that it could be absorbing the power of the believers and making themselves stronger?"
Sun Yang stood up suddenly, startling both Li Li and Ma Bin.
"You say it again?"
"What?"
"What you just said!"
"It may be absorbing the power of the believer......"
Sun Yang suddenly felt that something suddenly became clear.
"Ma Bin, do you know what kind of gods the emperors worshipped?"
"The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are on earth or something, right?"
"You go and check the internal information of the Special Case Administration, and see what kind of changes have been made in the objects of worship in the past dynasties, and in various places, you can look at the distant mountains, the city god, the mountain god, the land, etc., what kind of changes have become, can you find out the identities of these people?"
Sitting in the store but suddenly being kicked out, Ma Bin felt inexplicable, but looking at Sun Yang's appearance, he finally began to move back.
When the store closed at night, he finally rushed back and put a portable hard drive in front of Sun Yang.
"I'm tired!"
Sun Yang took the laptop out of the counter, and everyone looked at the materials copied by Ma Bin with him, but most of them were scanned copies of some old books, and many of the contents were still in ancient characters, without punctuation, which made people tired to read.
Sun Yang saw it with relish at a glance.
"Hey, Xiaoling, do you understand what he's looking for?" Li Li quietly pushed Lu Xiaoling and asked.
"I don't know, but he'll tell us when he finds it."
Sun Yang sat down in a notebook while reading, and everyone didn't bother him, and finished cleaning the store, and his side was not over yet.
"Sun Yang? Closing the store? Li Li asked impatiently.
"Oh~ I'm sorry!"
On the way back, Lu Xiaoling still drove. She is much gentler now than before, and she can't see the demeanor of any drag racer at all.
"What exactly are you looking for?" Seeing that Sun Yang was still reading those materials all the way, she finally became curious.
"I've never understood why the Special Cases Administration is blocking news about the existence of ghosts and gods, and why the entire Western world is blocking real information about ghosts and gods. Today, Ma Bin accidentally said that sentence, and I suddenly had a guess. Now I'm trying to confirm it. ”
Lu Xiaoling shook her head and didn't ask any further.
Sun Yang had been comparing those sources all night, and even searched the Internet for a large number of names and records, and more and more evidence showed that his guess was correct.
He closed his computer and began to frantically write down his thoughts on the paper, and when everything was done, the outside was already lit up again, and the chickens were chirping at the rising sun.
A new day full of vitality has arrived, but Sun Yang's back is suddenly cold.
"You haven't slept all night?" Lu Xiaoling finally woke up. She struggled to raise her head from the bed, but saw Sun Yang's expression. "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Sun Yang shook his head. "It's just that maybe I've found something amazing."
"Something terrible?" Li Li's eyes widened, this is what she likes the most. "Say it quickly!"
Sun Yang looked at Ma Bin and Lu Xiaoling, and sent a ghost pawn to close the front and back doors before he began to tell his discovery.
"Let's start with Ma Bin's words yesterday."
"My words?"
"Don't mess around!" Li Li said.
"There may be no difference between monsters, immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas, and there is also the matter of absorbing the power of believers." Sun Yang said. "I suddenly thought of a possibility. Is it possible that all developed countries, mainly Western countries, took the lead in exterminating the monks and monsters in their countries, and began to conceal the fact of the existence of these things from hundreds of years ago, not simply because they did not want to recall that period of history, but because they wanted to cut off the source of power of those things? Or even, to take the source of power from them? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Li asked.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Sun Yang asked. "Why do ghosts, monsters, and cultivators actually exist, but an organization like the Special Case Management Bureau would rather spend a lot of manpower and material resources, even at the expense of public power and violence, and must treat the things they cause as accidents or man-made disasters?"
