Chapter 263: The Source of the Heart Demon
The differences between regions and communities are not only manifested in the material level, but also in the cultural level.
In the case of the Green Chun Community, there are no serious educational facilities in the whole village, and it mainly relies on a temporary classroom set up by a villager in his own home for education.
There is only one teacher, and most of the children in the village can barely grasp the reading and writing of some commonly used characters.
But most of the villagers feel that this is enough and do not want to spend more on education.
After An Wen saw that after entering the village, he tried a little hard to change a little, but it was still not comparable to the region - there were not only schools but even libraries in the Dark Lantern Region.
The cultivators of the cultivation realm and the demon realm are more accustomed to using jade slips to record information, so there are not many books in the two realms, and they can't even find a library, let alone a library.
In addition, An Wen found that the situation in the region was not as Xiao Ye said. On the road, he saw several black-haired individuals, shopping openly, meeting some red-and-blue-haired acquaintances, and greeting each other in a friendly manner.
Thinking of Xiao Ye's warning to himself before leaving, An Wen couldn't help but wonder: [Why does Xiao Ye have the concept that the monks in the region hate black hair? 】
But when I think about it, every time the people in the village come to the region, they only have two days and one night, and they are busy with business and business, so it is not surprising that they do not notice this.
[It seems that the speed of information transmission in the underworld is slightly slower than that of the cultivation world and the demon world. 】
An Wenjian silently judged, which was a good thing for him.
As I thought about it, I walked to a rather large building.
The building in the surroundings, and even in the depths, where the Monk was located, was not as grand as the building in front of him.
[What a big library... And it seems to be open to everyone. 】
An Wenjian confirmed with his divine vision and found that there were many ordinary underworld people in the library who did not have cultivation, and many of them were black-haired individuals.
These ordinary underworlds are all gathered on the periphery of the library, near the gate, and the books they read are mainly based on the history of the underworld, and have nothing to do with spiritual practice.
The situation in the deeper part of the library was completely different, everyone who was reading a book was a monk, and the content of the books was related to spiritual practice.
[Huh? 】
An Wen saw what he noticed, and his divine vision switched back and forth between the streets and the library, and confirmed: [Sure enough, although the black-haired individual seems to be treated the same as an ordinary underworld, none of the black-haired individuals have cultivation. 】
At present, apart from the absence of a mark, An Wenjian has not found any difference between the black-haired underworld and other underworlds.
[Go back this time, try to let Xiao Ye practice, and see what happens.] 】
An Wen made up his mind and walked straight to the library door.
There were no guards at the entrance of the library, but there was a counter inside the entrance, and there were nine underworld people sitting on the table, and they were second only to the one in the depths of the region.
[It should be a guard specially arranged here, and I attach great importance to this library.] 】
An Wenjian only glanced at it, didn't look too much, and walked straight to the bookshelf where the history books were placed.
Thanks to the ability to parse, An Wenjian is extremely efficient in reading books, almost comparable to the legendary "quantum reading method".
In the process of flipping through the pages, An Wenjian had been very careful, no obvious noise was generated, and no damage was caused to the books, and the other underworlds who were addicted to reading did not notice An Wenjian's abnormal flipping speed.
When it was almost dark, An Wen was worried that the library would be cleared, but fortunately there was none, but the monks at the counter near the door had changed a batch to make sure that they would not miss anything out of exhaustion.
Gu Yan
……
After a day and a night of hard work, An Wenjian flipped through all the history books he could find, and had a general understanding of the stories that happened between the underworld and the Heavenly Dao in the past:
Many years ago, the underworld had not yet been sealed by the curse of the Heavenly Dao, and the monk civilization existing in the Three Realms had just passed the stage of rapid development and entered a period of relative stability.
At that time, the cultivation realm of the monks was still shallow, and it was difficult to touch the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao will had never been revealed.
Until one day, a Hades monk was the first to comprehend and launched an attack on a higher realm.
Although he failed in the end, he gained valuable experience, and the Hades monk generously shared his experience.
After that, the Underworld monks made great progress on the path of cultivation, and rushed into the realm of tribulation very smoothly.
The monks of the Tribulation Realm were already able to perceive the will of the Heavenly Dao more clearly, but the monks of the Netherworld not only did not feel afraid, but also planned to go further and wrestle with the Heavenly Dao to see who was more powerful.
And then they were gone.
The Heavenly Dao Will directly sent down a curse, sealing the underworld, so that the underworld monks could not continue to improve their cultivation realm in the underworld.
But the Heavenly Dao did not completely cut off the hope of the underworld, and the Heavenly Dao curse also contained a "contract" given by the Heavenly Dao - after the underworld monk cultivated to the realm of the Tribulation, if he was willing to give up his body and cultivation in the underworld, he could enter the cultivation world or the demon world with a pure soul state, and turn into the "heart demon" of a monk in the two worlds, and become the heart demon tribulation.
If the monk defeats the demons, the underworld who has become the demons will die from then on.
If the inner demon wins, the underworld can completely replace the monk, regain the body, cultivation, and power to impact the higher realms, but still have to face other heavenly tribulations.
It should be noted that after the inner demon replaces the monk, he will completely inherit everything from the original monk with the "help" of the Heavenly Dao, including his memory and personality. And different memories and personalities are forcibly superimposed, and the result often leads to distortion and madness on the mental level.
In this way, the Heavenly Dao punished the underworld while restricting the monks of the Three Realms, so that the monks could not grow to the extent of surpassing the Heavenly Dao.
"Whew..."
An Wenjian gently closed the last book: [Although it is only the words of the Hades family, this can explain why the demonized monks are crazy, and why the form of those Hades has changed after leaving the underworld. 】
[Speaking of which, that emptiness, the Nine Tribulations have not yet been able to become immortals, and it should still be the influence of the Heavenly Dao curse. 】
An Wenjian naturally thought that he would infer based on the existing conditions: [Although he successfully transferred his soul to the cultivation realm, became a heart demon, and also defeated the monk, his original body was still in the underworld, so he would still be affected by the curse of the Heavenly Dao. 】
A lot of things are slowly becoming clearer.
At this point, An Wenjian's purpose of coming to the underworld has almost been achieved.
[Isn't it a little too smooth? 】
On the way back with the villagers, An Wenjian recalled his experience after arriving in the underworld in his heart, and finally couldn't help but sigh again with the simplicity of the underworld.
In the following days, An Wenjian passed through the formation and transmitted the information of the underworld back to the cultivation world from time to time, while continuing to play the role of a simple underworld and living peacefully in the village.
By the way, teach Sayo to do some basic practice.
After starting to practice, Sayo could feel the changes in all aspects of herself. But she had never been exposed to spiritual practice, and all she did was adjust her breathing, and she didn't think about it at all.
However, An Wen saw that in the changes that had occurred in Xiao Ye's body, he noticed something important......
