Chapter 15: Chuck Chel's Dagger

Qi Xuansu has an advantage, that is, he recognizes reality and will not deceive himself.

For example, after Qi Xuansu confirmed from all aspects that his master-apprentice friendship with Qi Haoran was an outright scam, although he had great emotional fluctuations, he did not try to deny this fact and deceive himself.

So even if it is a partner to work with, it does not mean that Qi Xuansu will trust unconditionally.

At the beginning, Qi Xuansu was dissatisfied with Taiying, this eldest lady of Xidaomen seemed to be a little unreliable, her ability was not big, her temper was not small, and she was disgraced in everything she did.

Later, Qi Xuansu found that things were a bit strange, and they couldn't be explained with an unreliable one, which was simply unreasonable.

This skepticism finally culminated in the face of three forks in the road.

Taiying didn't find that Samuel's emblem and portrait could still be explained by negligence or the interference of the shadows, and only walked one of the three roads and then announced that the Condor Guard was all missing, which could not be explained. But Taiying himself is still unconscious, thinking that it is very reasonable, as if he has fallen into a blind spot, close in front of him, but he can't see it.

As Qi Xuansu said, this kind of mistake is too low-level, it is no longer a matter of mediocrity and incompetence, and it can't even be said that Taiying is an internal ghost, because the internal ghost will not leave such obvious flaws.

This seems to be a cognitive misalignment.

Some of them are like some kind of spell.

In the end, Qi Xuansu chose to break the sky in one word.

It is also simple to break this cognitive dislocation, that is, to tell the truth, and it has always been the most effective means to break the truth and falsehood.

There are many folk legends and stories, some people are clearly dead, because of some obsessions, self-deception, thinking that they are still alive, and finally relying on the power of believing in the truth to live as a living person, without the slightest flaw. It wasn't until someone broke the truth and broke the belief that he died completely.

This can be regarded as breaking the falsehood with truth.

After Taiying was broken by Qi Xuansu's words, she seemed to be shocked and began to desperately recall what happened that day.

After she got the news of Huangfu Zhu, she brought someone here and forcibly opened the entrance blocked by the shadows, she decided to enter it to investigate herself, and there were still remnants of shadows inside, but she couldn't help her. She continued to dig deeper, and finally found the bloody book left by the commander of the Condor Guard at the fork in the road, she chose the path on the left, picked up the knife dropped by the Condor Guard, and found that it was a dead end, with only dirt at the end......

And then what?

And then what happened?

To her horror, her memories came to an abrupt end.

No matter how she recalled, the next thing was that she had returned to the ground, informing Huangfu Zhu and the others that the Condor Guard was all missing.

How did she get back? I don't know.

Why not explore the other two forks in the road? What's in there? I don't know.

Her memory seems to be missing out of thin air, but she is still unaware of it, and even thinks it is reasonable.

Qi Xuansu saw that Yutai Ying hadn't spoken for a long time, and the expression on his face changed, so he also guessed the general situation, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "That knife that is suspected to be the lost knife of the Condor Guard, I didn't see it in the evidence room, is it still in your hands?" ”

Yutai Ying was stunned for a moment and began to look at his Sumeru.

Soon, Taiying took out a small knife polished from obsidian, which was different from the knife in the Central Plains, because it was polished with obsidian, the back of the knife was very thick, and the surface was uneven, not so much a flat knife, but more like a three-edged chisel.

Qi Xuansu took the obsidian knife from Taiying's hand, looked at it for a moment, but couldn't see any clues, so he had to ask for foreign help: "Wu Niang, help me take a closer look?" ”

A flaming figure condensed beside Qi Xuansu: "I still have to rely on you Wu Niang." ”

After that, Wu Niang took the obsidian knife from Qi Xuansu's hand and watched it repeatedly.

One is that Wu Niang's realm cultivation is higher than Qi Xuansu. The second is that Wu Niang has seen a lot of knowledge and lived for so many years, up to the ancient secrets such as Kunlun Cave, Enlightened Six Witches, Lu Wushen, etc., down to the customs and legends of the Southern Continent, there is nothing she doesn't know, it can be said that she "learns from China and the West".

So Qi Xuansu can't see the clues, it doesn't mean that Wu Niang can't see the clues.

Soon, Wu Niang came to a conclusion: "This is a medium, a medium for casting spells." ”

The so-called "medium" is easy to understand.

Someone picked up something on the road, took it home, and then all sorts of weird things started to happen in the house. One possibility is that there is some kind of special existence in this kind of thing, and evil is at work. Another possibility is that this thing is a medium for spellcasting, and someone is secretly casting spells through it. In some of the most common cases, there is a folk saying that you should not offend the carpenter, because the carpenter usually has some aversion to victory, leaving some medium when building the house, which can harm the owner of the house.

However, Yu Taiying is also a cultivator of the immeasurable stage, and ordinary spells cannot affect her, which shows that this obsidian knife is not simple.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Can you see the calendar?" ”

Wu Niang said: "There is a certain amount of divine power remaining, and I feel the dark divine power from it." ”

Taiying asked, "Is it Samuel?" ”

In addition to mastering the priesthood of fear and death, Samuel is also the god of darkness. Just as Hirella is not only the god of killing, but also masters the priesthood of illusion, deception, and conspiracy.

Some gods focus on one priesthood, others like more than the merrier, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

In addition, this is Samuel's temple again, and there are items left by Samuel, which is reasonable.

Qi Xuansu joked: "This obsidian knife is not very Western. ”

"The Hell Apostle has been in the Southern Continent for a long time, and it is not surprising that he has been influenced by the style of the Southern Continent. ”

Wu Niang has a better understanding of the situation in the Southern Continent, and it can even be said that she is one of the participants in the establishment of Tawanting, and she is also a witness, and she put forward a different opinion: "You have forgotten one person, the goddess of stars and moon Chakchel. ”

Chuck Chel, whose appearance is the image of an old woman with tiger claws, is completely opposite to the image of a girl, Ichchel. In the past, Chakchel, the goddess of stars and moon, and Ichichel, the goddess of the full moon, were two sides of the same coin, and after a series of accidents, they split into two people.

Today, Chakchel is on Kukulkan's side, and it is precisely because of her support that Kukulkan has become the leader of the ancient gods of the Southern Continent. Whether it is the stars or the moon, they all appear at night, so Chuck Chel's mastery of the priesthood of the night is similar to darkness, and the two have many similarities and overlaps, and both also involve the ability to peep into people's hearts and change people's hearts, to put it a little metaphysically, peeping into the darkness of the heart.

Qi Xuansu said: "In this way, it is still inseparable from Kukulkan. ”

Yu Taiying asked, "Is it because of this thing that I lost part of my memory?" ”

Wu Niang did not give an affirmative answer: "Maybe it is, maybe not." ”

Taiying couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean?" ”

Wu Niang explained: "This medium stores divine power in advance, and it can also be used as a medium for divine descent, maybe you have already seen Chakchel, but you just forgot." ”

Taiying was shocked again.

Wu Niang continued: "Some of your current memories can't be said to be right, this obsidian knife is really the one you picked up in the fork in the road on the left?" Is there a possibility that you picked it up as soon as you entered the door, and then you met Chack Chel, and were influenced by Chack Chel, and the rest of the memories were arranged. Of course, I'm just speculating, and there is no evidence. ”

The logic makes sense.

Qi Xuansu disagreed: "I don't think so." ”

Both of them looked at Qi Xuansu again: "What do you say?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "If it were someone else, of course the ancient gods could directly create a false memory, and even try to turn people into puppets. But the chief of the West Daomen is different, her identity is more special, she can often contact the high-level of the West Daomen, such as the Tai Da Zhenren, such as the Gong Da Zhenren, this method is easy to be detected by the two big real people, then it is self-defeating, originally the top of the West Daomen did not care about this matter, if you want to do this, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to provoke the West Daomen, which will inevitably attract the attention of the high-level of the West Daomen, there is still the Daomen behind the West Daomen, and the Daomen has already noticed this matter. ”

Wu Niang and Tang Taiying both had to admit that Qi Xuansu's statement had some truth.

Qi Xuansu continued: "So, I don't think Chuck Chell has not modified the memory of Chief Chutai, nor has she erased the memory of Chief Tantai, she may have just made Chief Chuck Chill temporarily forget some things, including the fact that Chief Chuck Chell saw Chuck Chell itself, those memories are still in Chief Chutai's mind, but Chief Tantai can't find them for the time being, and he can't recall them." Then leave some vague hints to make the chief of the platform ignore the unreasonable. In this way, there will hardly be any obvious traces, even if they are two great real people, unless they know in advance and have the intention to investigate, they will not notice the slightest abnormality. ”

"There is another corroboration, that is, the unreasonable behavior shown by the chief of the platform. If it is a false memory, then it will definitely not leave such an obvious flaw, and it will definitely round the nonsense and be able to justify itself. But no, it can be seen that it is not that I don't want to, but that I can't. Letting the chief of the platform forget some things can indeed cover up the truth, but it will also leave a memory gap that cannot be filled, because he is afraid of the two big real people, and he can't fill this gap with false memories, so he finally left a huge flaw. ”

Taiying's face was a little solemn: "What Chief Qi said is extremely true, and there is indeed such a possibility. ”

At the same time, she was also a little annoyed, this feeling of being played with in the palm of her hand and not knowing it was really terrible.

Qi Xuansu made a brief summary: "This matter is likely to be related to Chuck Cair, even if the Shadow Tide was not initiated by Chack Cair, then Chack Chael is responsible for the aftermath." At the same time, Samuel, who also has a dark priesthood, intervened, leaving a more important clue. There's nothing wrong with the overall direction, and it's all deeply tied to Kukulkan, whether he's a mastermind or a victim. ”
