66, the last memories 2
"My master is one of the ancient times, but it is quite weak, and can only survive at the feet of the big forces, when the immortals decided to leave this world, it is a pity that the ancestor tried his best to win a ticket to leave. β
"At that time, there were still many small sects like us that were abandoned, because the order created by the Mighty no longer existed, many violent people began to kill on a large scale, and those who once claimed to be righteous did not bother to care about these many more, which caused the severance of civilization, and it was not until the last few thousand years that human beings redeveloped civilization, and those memories of antiquity occasionally left a few words, which were rubbed into those woven stories and passed down. β
No wonder the old man said that he felt sad about this era, it turned out that the earth used to be such a glorious world, and now the earth is just a ruined ruin that is about to burn out.
"This is the story I want to tell you, but it's not entirely correct, after all, my master has been passed down for hundreds of generations, especially in the next two or three hundred generations, almost all of them are mortals, and it is inevitable that some places deviate from the truth, but compared to those outside who can't stand scrutiny, I should be considered authoritative. β
Zhang Li didn't know what to say for a while.
Feeling Zhang Li's silence, the old man chuckled lightly twice, as if it was a kind of laughter that was not what I expected, and then said: "Okay, since we have finished telling this story, let's talk about your talents, of course, you may be more accustomed to calling abilities." β
At this moment, Zhang Li instantly cheered up, and he was quite concerned about this ability that caused him to fall into this field.
Old man: "Before you say that, tell me what you think your ability is?"
Zhang Li: "...... Transfiguration?"
The old man smiled and said, "So in the various mythological books or TV series you have watched, what can you think of related to transformation?"
"Something to do with transformation...... the first impression that appeared in Zhang Li's mind was Sun Wukong, so he replied uncertainly: "...... Seventy-two changes?"
"Haha! I knew you would say seventy-two changes. The old man said in an unsurprising tone: "But it's not right, you didn't understand the meaning of the thirty-six changes of Tiangang and the seventy-two changes of the earth, now I will explain it to you." β
"The so-called thirty-six changes in Tiangang are:
Reversing yin and yang, moving stars and changing buckets, returning to the sky and returning to the moon, calling for rain and wind, shaking mountains and shaking the earth...... Take charge of the five thunders, shrink the abyss, know the future against the enemy, scatter beans into soldiers, and nail the head of the seven arrows!"
"The seventy-two changes of the earth are for:
Passage of seclusion, exorcism, carrying mountains, forbidding water, borrowing wind, spreading fog, praying for sunshine, praying for rain...... Spitting flames, swallowing knives, acting superintendently, clone ......"
The old man read a lot of words in one breath, and Zhang Li didn't remember a few at all.
"So whether it is thirty-six changes or seventy-two changes, they have nothing to do with transformation, their changes refer to the cultivation of supernatural powers from scratch, like the legendary Lu Zhudao man's nailhead seven arrows book is one of the thirty-six changes, like Sun Wukong plucking and blowing monkeys, that is, the doppelganger in the seventy-two changes, all the supernatural powers in the world can almost be classified into these two in the end, and the difference between thirty-six changes and seventy-two changes...... You can think that thirty-six changes can affect the surrounding environment, while seventy-two changes can only affect oneself. β
Zhang Li: "So thirty-six is stronger than seventy-two?"
"There is no so-called strong or not strong between supernatural powers, a knife, a child holding its danger is not comparable to an adult, Zhu Bajie has been refined to thirty-six changes, and it is not still to be crushed by Sun Wukong. β
Zhang Li: "Hmm...... So after talking about it for a long time, what does this have to do with my abilities?"
"It's a big deal!" The old man said: "You now understand that the thirty-six changes and the seventy-two changes are not some kind of ability, no matter who can practice these two kinds of supernatural powers, those who are weak and have weak supernatural powers can make their talents stronger through cultivation, and those who are not talented also have the opportunity to practice supernatural powers through cultivation, but there is only one kind of person in this world who can truly and thoroughly control these two cultivation techniques!" That's a person like you, in ancient times, people like you were too famous, I don't know the name of your talent, but I know the names of many powerful people with your talent, some of which you should have also heard, such as the Manifestation Erlang Zhenjun, Monkey King, Gibbon Monkey, you have seen the Fengshen List and Journey to the West, you should have an impression of them. β
Zhang Li nodded ignorantly.
The old man continued: "In the list of gods, Erlang God Yang Jian and gibbon Yuan Hong practiced eight or nine Xuangong together, and the two of them fought on par, and in the end, it was Lu Zhudao who went out to kill Yuan Hong, Yang Jian finally sanctified his body, and then said that Monkey King, Sun Wukong is proficient in seventy-two changes, and Erlang God is also on par, he becomes a sparrow, Erlang God becomes an eagle, he becomes a fish, Erlang God becomes an osprey, they change each other, they are changing creatures that can restrain each other, and do you think they will become ordinary sparrows and ospreys?" β
Zhang Li: "Of course not. β
"That's right, none of them became mundane, they all became divine beasts with powerful supernatural powers, so you know what that means?"
"What?" To be honest, if it were normal, Zhang Li would have been so appetizing, but now that he has been suppressed by the institute for so long, he is already very content with someone to speak, and the most important thing is that he is really attracted by what the old man said.
This means that the supernatural powers that others have spent their entire lives cultivating can be possessed by them by casually changing into a single body. β
"......" Zhang Li grew his mouth, if he has a mouth, does this mean that his ability is also the same as Erlang God and Sun Wukong, and can become a legendary divine beast?
"You now understand how amazing your talent is, if you were born in that era, even saints would fight to take you as a disciple, and people like you are almost destined to be sanctified in the flesh, so when I see you, my heart is balanced, hahahaha, I was originally complaining about being born in the wrong era. β
You're mentally balanced, I'm not balanced......
"If you had been born a hundred years earlier, the overlord of this world would not have been the turn of these clowns, but now you still have a chance to destroy them!" Suddenly, the old man put away all his laughter and got down to business.
"How am I going to take revenge on them!" Zhang Li instantly approached the old man, his hatred for this institute almost broke through the sky, not to mention that he was still burdened with the resentment of many people, which affected him all the time.
"Through what I said earlier, you should know the truth about your ability, it allows you to master everyone's ability, but this is conditional, as long as you know the genetic code, you can change it at will, and talent is a code that belongs to the soul, which means that you must devour part of the soul of the person you want to control, and then use a very large amount of energy to assimilate this code with yourself, so that you can control his ability, like Sun Wukong, they have a master to collect souls for them, and there is a steady stream of cultivation resources for them to drive, so they can become such a strong personγ β
"But, I've only devoured the souls of a few weak people, and my energy is ......," Zhang Li said and the old man stopped him.
"All abilities aren't as simple as you think, and you have more power than you think. The old man brought his spirit body close to Zhang Li, as if he was feeling something.
"I said before, without immortal energy, people can only cultivate the low-level energy of aura, the difference between immortal qi and aura, just like a nuclear bomb and a grenade, but even if the power between the two is very different, if the number of grenades is enough, it may not be able to catch up with the power of the nuclear bomb, you must keep this sentence firmly in mind, because it is closely related to our revenge......"
"Reiki, Gangqi, and evil energy, there used to be a lot of energy of this kind in this world, but now there are none, you can only pursue the lower level, and there is one kind of energy that you have now, and it is extremely huge, that is, resentment......"
"Legend has it that there is a kind of heavenly demon that can devour people's hearts and occupy people's shells, and in Western mythology, there are also dream demons who can absorb the power of dreams, and there are so-called devils, who live by devouring people's fears...... Everything in this world is energy, and most people can't use it, but you're different. β
"The people of this institute are too arrogant for them to imagine that they have already dug a grave for themselves because of what they have done......"
