Chapter 85: What is the Nature of Mythical Creatures?
The first two sentences are quite striking.
Han You immediately looked down.
"I have visited many places and read many ancient books, and I can know that there has been more than one immortal on this land, and they *****, why do they approach mortals, and in what way *****?"
The other party's knowledge is obviously very rich, and Han You can't recognize many words, so he can only barely guess the approximate meaning.
"I went to many *****, visited *****, tried to concoct a ritual after many experiments."
“…… In the end, it failed. I think maybe maybe my strength is not enough, or maybe it's because I'm just a mortal, and this kind of ritual can only be used by immortals? ”
"Myth...... Can it really only be a myth? ”
"If there is a successor, I hope to carry on my last wish and continue to improve ......"
"If one day I can make this ritual really work, I'll be blind."
The following is the specific content of the ceremony.
But just by sweeping his eyes, Han You couldn't help frowning.
Curious rituals.
The first thing is to prepare a statue that can symbolize yourself.
Then prepare a bowl, pour your own fresh blood, burned ash and sesame oil, and crushed glutinous rice into it, mix it, stir it, and cover it with a red cloth.
Then wait until midnight to place the sculpture in a bowl and soak it in a stick of incense.
When the time is up, take it out, you can't wash it, just tie it tightly with your wrist with a red thread, then hold it in your hand, close your eyes and meditate carefully.
It could be a day, or three days, or ten days, or even a month.
It was not until you could feel the statue clearly, that you could feel its heartbeat, that you could feel that it was one with yourself, that it was a success.
And most crucially, this process cannot be interrupted.
Once interrupted, start over.
This means that if you insist on achieving it, you are likely to consume yourself halfway.
According to the records on the parchment, the scholar should have been about seven to eight grades of strength during his lifetime, and he was far from being able to eat or drink without eating or drinking.
So he failed in a row, so much so that he later wondered if his research was a madman's fantasy and could not come true.
But for some reason, the other party later firmly believed that the ceremony was right, and it didn't succeed just because its strength was not enough.
So much so that it will take so much effort to preserve it for future generations.
Han You thoughtfully put away the parchment.
"Maybe what is recorded on this may not be correct......
He had seen many similar sculptures with supernatural powers, especially in the simulated world, where almost everyone had one.
It is definitely impossible for such a high-ranking immortal to use such cumbersome and troublesome procedures to make them one by one.
Otherwise, it's too cheap and unreasonable.
It is clear that the scholar has fallen into some kind of cognitive misunderstanding, or that his thinking has been limited by the times of the time.
And after experiencing so much, I may not be able to have my own perceptions.
"Through these sculptures, the believers are connected...... And to be able to use this as a medium for a short period of time......"
"Immortal...... Enshrined ......"
Han Youyou sat quietly, closed his eyes and concentrated, the thoughts in his mind continued to diverge outward, and he began to brainstorm alone.
"All the sculptures at the moment are symbolic of the images of the immortals themselves......"
“…… It's really just a medium, a medium to communicate and transmit power......"
"This way is a little familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere?"
He frowned slightly, and the images of the past flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
Until he keenly captured one of the fleeting images.
Late at night, alleys, flesh, women......
Liu Chen...... Woman in prison uniform? ”
He still vividly remembered the night Liu Chen died, the finger bone that could be reshaped into a clone of the woman in prison clothes.
Suddenly, he came to his senses.
These two seemingly very different methods actually have certain similarities in principle.
It's just that one of them is similar to the incarnation of a god, bright and majestic.
The other is dark and sneaky, full of horror.
But in essence, it is the creator who transmits the power of the past through a certain medium.
This also includes the finger bone and the weird woman in his body.
"What do the two have in common?"
"Mythical Creature ......"
"And what they have ......"
"It's a mythical trait."
Han You slowly opened his eyes, and he already had a rough guess in his mind.
To complete this ritual, it is not only a great deal of strength, but also that the user is a mythical creature with mythical qualities.
"But what are the mythological qualities?"
He was lost in thought.
This term is what he got from the analysis of the system.
But I only know its name but don't know its meaning.
"Mythical creatures, immortals, demons, sneaky creatures...... These creatures, which do not belong to the mortal world and should not appear, may be collectively called mythical creatures. ”
"So the mythical trait refers to their blood? Meat? Bone? Or is it some kind of spiritual idea? ”
Or something more metaphysical, something ...... Flow? ”
His eyes lit up slightly, and he felt that he should have grasped some kind of key thing, and he had a corresponding assumption in his heart.
If it is difficult to understand in a physical way, it can be done in a different way.
"If we take the Internet technology of modern society as an analogy, normal society is the Internet for the whole world, and those mythical creatures are virus programs-"
"They shouldn't be there, but when they do, they can modify and destroy normal programs, and they will leave a loophole on the PC for further direct intrusion and remote control......"
"And as long as you know the general principle, maybe you can imitate this kind of ritual in this way?"
If it can really be imitated.
So is the opportunity for him to break through the Tiangang Realm here?
But there is another premise before that.
That is, I don't have mythological qualities, and I don't know how to create and use them.
But it's not a big problem.
He himself has such a tool man who has and can use the characteristics of mythology.
"Wan Ying!"
He summoned directly.
In an instant, the temperature in the room dropped a lot.
And the little girl with a lovely face appeared beside him, waiting obediently and meekly.
It's not at all like the murderous look of last night.
Han You took down one of the remaining tables in the room, and used the internal force network to pinch it out of thin air, and soon a rough humanoid wood carving appeared.
But for the sake of prudence, he did not build it exactly according to Wan Ying's appearance one-to-one, but his face was blurred.
After finishing the construction, he handed the wood carving to Wan Ying.
"Can you try it and leave your message here?"
"It's like......" he made an analogy, "it's like the pendant you gave to Yuanqin before, only this time it's more detailed." ”
