Text II. The Capable Speak (3)
By this time it was completely dark, and the night light at the door had been turned on, but there was no one outside. Ye Fei's residence is close to the outskirts of the city, it is a single-family villa, and there are artificially planted trees within 100 meters of it. Except for the night light in front of the door, there is no other light around, and the atmosphere is slightly gloomy. However, Yun still didn't look surprised, he walked to a place more than ten meters away from the door and stood still, and said in a low voice, "Come out." ”
No one answered. Yun was not in a hurry, and after waiting for more than ten seconds, he raised his voice again: "If you don't come out again, you will forgive the old man for not receiving it." "Then you have to turn back.
Finally, a voice sounded, and it was an old man laughing, but the laughter was a little sharp, like the cry of a night owl: "Mr. Yun, I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years, and I haven't seen your temperament a little more restrained." ”
The figure in the black cloak appeared silently in the night, a total of seven people, one in the front, and the other six behind. The first one took off his hood, revealing an old face. This man's name is Yun Huanyun Lao, but Yun is still in good spirits, and he is only fifty or sixty years old if he looks at his appearance, but his face is wrinkled, old, and has a small snake-like scar on the left side of his face, which looks like he is eighty or ninety years old.
Yun came back to his senses and snorted coldly: "The old man has lived for more than two thousand years, and this temperament can't be changed." Besides, even if the old man has a good face, he doesn't show it to people like you. ”
"It's still an unforgiving mouth," the old man didn't seem to be angry, and his smile was as peaceful as an ordinary old man, but unfortunately when he laughed, the scar on his face also swam like a small snake, and his smile suddenly became extremely weird, "It seems that in the past hundred years, Yun Lao's harvest has been quite rich." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Yufei and the others. When his gaze swept over Lin Yufei, he paused slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Lin Yufei only felt a chill in his back, and a chill rushed up.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yun also snorted, "Mo Li, you kid has always been unprofitable, what is the intention of this time, let's just say it." But what if you ...... Hmph, don't even think about leaving today!"
"Hehehehe," the old man known as Mo Li chuckled, "Mr. Yun's tall feet, the younger generations don't dare to touch it." When the younger generation came this time, they only took a fancy to a few delicious prey. The younger generation doesn't dare to be greedy, just hope to be able to get a touch of light in the hands of Mr. ”
"I'm not interested in your, as long as you don't get in my way. Yun also replied coldly.
"Hehe, how could it be! The younger generation will pay special attention. Mo Li chuckled, "Actually, isn't it a more convenient way to borrow strength, the seniors can't see it like this, and the juniors are a little puzzled." ”
"Convenient?" Yun also said coldly, "I'm too lazy to bother educating you, I said everything I needed to say back then, I just hope you don't play too much, stuff yourself into it and don't say anything, and add more trouble to the world." ”
"This doesn't bother the seniors, and the younger generations have their own measure. Mo Li's face became a little unnatural, and he laughed twice, "People can make progress, and seniors shouldn't underestimate people too much." ”
"Hmph!" Yun still didn't seem to want to say more, and waved his hand: "I know the purpose of your coming, if there is nothing else, you don't need me to entertain you!"
"How dare you work seniors," Mo Li put on his hood again and slowly stepped back, "The juniors have already said hello, and they have to prepare early, hoping that the seniors can show mercy." It's just that I don't know how many seniors have seen this time? Hehehe......" The words fell, and this cadre had completely disappeared into the night.
The cloud did not immediately turn around, but stood there quietly, staring at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Teacher?" Zhang Zhongjian stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Yun also seemed taken aback, came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm thinking about something." Let's all go back to the house, there are some things that I have to tell you in advance. With that, his eyes swept over the three people other than Zhang Zhongjian, with a hint of melancholy.
The coffee table had been cleaned up, and the master and apprentice were sitting around the coffee table again. Yun also thought for a moment before he spoke: "I originally wanted to tell you slowly, so that you can have some time to understand, but now it seems that it is difficult to have that time, I can only instill it in you as soon as possible, I just hope that I will have the opportunity to explain to you in the future." ”
"Is it because of that Mo Li just now?" Lin Yufei asked, "Is that person the teacher's opponent?"
"It's so strong that it's not enough, just a few of his people are not our opponents, I'm worried about what will happen later," Yun also showed a worried expression again, "That Mo Li is a spirit master, he belongs to the spirit master all the way, and he is a master among the spirit masters." However, he did not subdue the alien beast for his own use like ordinary spirit masters, but used the conceptual power of the alien beast for his own cultivation, so he was called a spirit master. Although his realm is not high, the scale of Zhenqi is beyond imagination. And his vision is extremely high, plus his ability is to see, so once he appears in a certain place, then the strange beasts that appear in that place will definitely be extremely strong, and most of them are conceptual strange beasts. ”
"Concept Beast, what is that, is that the one we killed yesterday?" Ye Fei's face was full of doubts, and his mouth was already asking in a stack.
"I'll tell you systematically, put aside that Mo parting thinking first, and then talk about it last. Yun also paused slightly, "I told you about the origin of the concept just now, and now I will tell you what kind of people we are." ”
"Although some of us practice on our own, and some of us are born with all kinds of abilities, in the final analysis, we are all human beings, and we also have the heart of justice, and we do not lack all kinds of greed that human beings have. So don't think of yourself as too noble, except for our abilities, we are just ordinary human beings. ”
"We call ourselves stargazers, but stargazers are just a small group of all abilities. We stand by our morality, hiding in the shadows and quietly solving the problems that threaten the world. Although there are disasters caused by various human desires, they are very few, and the main problems we have to solve come from two aspects, and both are related to ability. ”
"The first category is all kinds of alien beasts that are affected by their abilities. The influence and interference of non-conceptual abilities on external objects is very small, and basically does not cause other creatures to produce mutations; derivative concepts can do this, but the probability is very small, and even if they are generated, the ability is not high, and even ordinary human weapons can be destroyed, so there is no need to worry; what can reach the level that we need to deal with is at least caused by the interference of secondary concepts. Like the Soyanagi that was destroyed yesterday, it should have at least been mutated by the interference of the concept of creation, and it may even be created directly, so it can regenerate with a very small amount of tissue left by itself. This is something we need to pay special attention to. ”
"Creation?"
"Yes. The concept of creation is the most widespread in the universe, and almost all intelligent beings carry extremely small fragments of concepts, and human beings are the same, which is the source of creativity, but the intensity is too small to reach the intensity of interference. But there are always fragments that will accidentally accumulate in someone, not necessarily to the strength of conscious creation, but likely to allow him to intervene or create something probustically. Also because of the lack of strength, these alien beasts grow slowly and are prone to death. But once it grows, it is a great disaster. Because they possess conceptual properties themselves, it is difficult for ordinary abilities to interfere with their existence unless the scale is large enough. ”
"What if it's a conscious creator?" Ye Fei couldn't help but ask.
"That's the most terrible. Yun also said, "As I just said, the root concept is a concept that belongs to the origin level of the universe, and it is very dangerous for such a concept to appear in people, even any living beings with a sense of survival. If a person with creative ability reaches a level where he can consciously create alien beasts, then he will almost certainly lose control. Because this level of creative ability is definitely not something that human beings can control. ”
"That's not right," Ye Fei asked suspiciously, "Isn't Senior Brother not out of control?"
"Buyeo's creative ability is actually very small. Figuratively speaking, it should be called incomplete, even incomplete, creative ability. Yun also explained, "Didn't I say that his creations can exist for a very short time, and this is the embodiment of the incompleteness of creation." It is important to understand that what is created is a burden on the creator, and the more things that are created, the greater the burden. The things created by the complete creator are permanent, whether they are alien beasts or not, and once the process of creation is completed, the creator himself cannot eliminate the creation, so in the end his creation will become more and more, and the load on him will become greater and greater, until it gets out of control. Now I understand, the possibility of Buyeo's level of creation getting out of control is very small. ”
"Then if the creator himself has a way to destroy the creation, can it avoid getting out of control?" Lin Yufei asked.
"It's theoretically possible, but it's hard. Yun also said, "The so-called elimination of creation means complete destruction, otherwise even if there is only a little dust left, the load of creation will still exist." According to the conceptual level division mentioned earlier, only the concept of destruction at the same level can completely destroy creation, but unfortunately those with the ability to destroy are even rarer than those with the ability to create. ”
"The other category is actually very easy to understand. Powerful forces can be addictive, even insane, as is the case in any group of people, and it is even more serious among the able. Because you can see more and more powerful powers, the obsession with power will also be even more crazy. Like Mo Li just now, this is the case. This person is very talented, has a successful cultivation, has no ability himself, but is extremely obsessed with the power of concepts. When I first met him three hundred years ago, he was gathering a group of people to study the occult art of the Spirit, specializing in capturing conceptual beasts and finding ways to extract their power for their own use. At the time, I thought they were whimsical, but there was nothing wrong with them, so I ignored them. A hundred years ago, I met your senior sister and met him by chance, and he actually made that spiritual art done, and also established a ghost cult, not only to capture and domesticate foreign beasts, but also to attack the powerful. I immediately went to the door with Buyeo to kill them, but in the end he escaped. This time he dared to appear openly in front of me, and he should have enough support, so you must be careful when you meet him alone. ”
"I see, it's the Devil's Way. Ye Fei interjected on the side, "That's what is written in martial arts novels. ”
"Evil Demon Outer Dao?" Zhang Zhongjian smiled bitterly on the side, "Little junior brother, you are so optimistic. You know, there are countless abilities in this world, and it secretly has its own society, but this society is not as bright as you think. If you have to say something foreign, I'm afraid it's not people like Mo Li, but people like us. ”
"What!" Ye Fei was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and Lin Yufei was also shocked on the side. On the contrary, Xinlan sat on the side, and her expression did not change.
"Yes," Yun returned, "that's why I said just now that great power makes people addicted." In the circle of the capable, great ability is everything. I don't know the situation abroad, but in my country, except for a few sects, there are very few who are really not swayed by ability. And in the eyes of most capable people, ordinary people are not the same kind, but pet ants and the like. Therefore, most of the capable people regard human life as a mustard, and those like us who are bent on protecting them are also classified as alien beings. In the future, when you meet someone who is capable, remember to be cautious. ”
The three of them agreed in unison.
"Okay, it's almost all explained now," Yun also stood up, "Mo Li is here, then there will be no fewer other comers, and T City is estimated to be very lively these days." Let's all go and rest, recharge our batteries, and soon we will be busy. ”
