242 Days of Change (2-in-1)
Poof!
As soon as Mo Chengjun's words were finished, he saw a group of people squirting tea in their mouths, and the tea crossed arcs in mid-air and fell to the ground, on his clothes.
But no one paid attention to the embarrassment at this time, but all eyes fell on Mo Chengjun's body one by one, especially the five elders of the ghosts, whose eyes were full of doubt and indescribable eagerness.
"Master Mo, you, are you saying it again, I didn't seem to hear it clearly just now?" The one who spoke was Elder Zhang Er of the Ghost Spirit Gate, a chubby bitter gourd-faced old man:
Mo Chengjun was speechless, but he also understood everyone's feelings, he waved his hand and said, "As far as you heard, that's right." ”
Elder Zhang San was still a little incredulous, and asked suspiciously: "As for the ones that Master Mo inquires about every day, well, historical materials, you have found the problem of our method?" ”
"That's all to test my suspicions. These days, I guess everyone is muttering in their hearts, wondering if I'm nervous, but in fact, I found what I wanted from those old papers. ”
Mo Chengjun paused, adhering to the rigor of scientific research projects, and said conservatively: "Of course, for now, this is also my guess, which can be regarded as one more research direction."
Specifically, we still need in-depth experiments, and we also need the cooperation of your ghost spirit sect. ”
At this time, Xiao Jixiang seemed to react, and he stood up with a 'brush', which frightened the five ghosts.
But he didn't care about anything else, but his fat face turned red, and he asked: "Master Mo, you mean that my idea is right, what is there that we have ignored?" ”
"Yes!"
Mo Chengjun nodded, and added: "If my conjecture is correct." ”
Elder Zhang Si was thin and tall, and seemed to be close to Zhang Jixiang, so at this time, he slapped Xiao Jixiang on the head and directly asked him to sit down.
Then he looked at Mo Chengjun and asked, "The auspicious idea is actually known to many people in the sect, and many people want to start from this direction, but the problem is that we really can't find a foothold.
Do you say that there are still things that we ignore?
But what are we missing? ”
As he spoke, he got up, saluted respectfully, and said, "Could Master Mo please help us solve our doubts?" ”
"Could Master Mo please help us solve our doubts?"
The five elders of the ghost spirit and Xiao Jixiang all stood up and saluted respectfully.
Mo Chengjun was in a hurry for this play, he hurriedly got up, and said after returning the salute: "Don't be like this, seniors, since I am entrusted by others, I naturally have to be loyal, don't worry, and listen to me slowly." ”
Sitting down again, facing everyone's eyes, Mo Chengjun groaned slightly, organized the language, and said: "Actually, your family has always done a very good job, and actively tried to solve it after discovering the defects in the Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra.
Although the experiment is not a system, but under the precipitation of time, countless people have succeeded each other, in fact, there is no shortage of attempts that should be made and records that should be made.
As for the six big boxes that Xiao Jixiang gave me, as well as the stored materials in the Tibetan Dharma Building, I have already realized one thing. ”
Elder Zhang Wu made a qualified heel and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"You've done a pretty good job of strengthening the power of the natal talisman seal and limiting the two directions of the natal spirits, ghosts, and zombies.
It's so perfect that even if I had to rearrange it, it wouldn't be as good as that.
It has been proven that these two directions are wrong, and there is no need for further study. ”
Mo Chengjun paused before he said seriously; "From then on, I felt more and more that there was something wrong with us that we were overlooking.
But it's still there, what is it that has been overlooked?
I don't know, so I can only follow the direction of your research and find the problem in the so-called 'balance'.
But to put it mildly, this path doesn't really make any sense. ”
Xiao Jixiang scratched his head and asked, "Why is this?" ”
"It's very simple, it's unbalanced to assign a Flying Yaksha to an air-inducing monk, but no one is so stupid to do that.
When you cultivate natal spirits or zombies, you pay attention to innate aptitude and spirituality, and you basically choose the same level as yourself, even if you break through, it is either yourself or a ghost zombie, and the biggest gap in the span is a big realm.
This is inevitable, even if it is a breakthrough, it is bound to be faster on one side, and then the other side will follow.
If such a gap is not possible, the so-called mutual improvement and mutual growth will be meaningless, so there is no need to study this balance. ”
Zhang Si finally couldn't help it: "What went wrong then?" Master Mo, can you just talk about it directly? ”
Mo Chengjun didn't want to sell Guanzi, and said directly: "You guys, have you ever considered that there is a problem with the natal talisman seal?" ”
"Impossible!"
Elder Zhang Er jumped out: "My ghost spirit sect has a long heritage, I don't know how many ancestors have cultivated this natal talisman seal, and there are even more mountain patriarchs who have achieved immortal power, this pile is in front of you, how can it be that there is a problem with the natal talisman seal?" ”
Elder Zhang San snorted coldly: "Isn't it that Master Mo thinks that the "Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra" and the secret scroll of cultivation perception left by the ancestor and his old man are all wrong, in order to mislead his descendants?" ”
This character is not very easy to speak, but Mo Chengjun did not get angry, but said: "I have carefully studied the life history of that ninth uncle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a great hero for the country and the people."
Therefore, if you want to say that there is any deliberate concealment of the secret records of the Dharma left by such existence, it will never be.
But have you ever thought of another possibility, in fact, the "Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra" is not wrong, and the founding patriarch of the Ghost Spirit Gate also relied on this to achieve immortals.
All this is fine, the only problem is that times have changed! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was blindfolded, and the brows of the five ghosts and spirits were wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and the bitter gourd faces had to be as bitter as they were.
Xiao Jixiang's eyes lit up, as if he had an understanding, as for Xue Ling and Ba Nishang, these two little ones were purely for the sake of watching the excitement.
At this point, Elder Zhang Yi, who had never spoken until now, finally spoke.
He speaks very little and is a very silent person, but the five elders of the ghosts and spirits regard him as the main one, and he makes decisions about everything.
At this time, he spit out a few words in a hoarse voice: "Please tell Master Mo in detail?" ”
"Actually, after this idea came up, I asked myself a question, when was the flaw of this Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra discovered?"
Mo Chengjun first threw out a question, and then asked himself: "For this reason, I began to look through the records of the Ghost Spirit Sect, mainly the biographies of the people in the sect, as well as the secret scrolls of insights left by their cultivation.
Especially this Insight Secret Scroll.
Most of the biographies of characters will appear to be more or less beautified, but this secret scroll of perception is obtained by personal cultivation and comprehension, which is more in line with the mood of the time.
Then, I sorted out a table according to the timeline.
Among them, the establishment time of the Ghost Spirit Gate is the middle of the Great Xia, about 600 years of the Great Xia calendar, and the "Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra" was written in the 609 year of the Great Xia calendar, the founding patriarch broke through the realm of immortals in 612 years, and the nine red-haired ghosts died at the same time in the 650 years of the Great Xia calendar.
Since then, although the Ghost Spirit Gate has no immortal power, it has the grace of the founder of the mountain, and has the expertise of suppressing the ghost and the ghost, and has always been the object of support of the Great Xia Dynasty, and is the guest of honor of the major martial arts sects.
As a result, although there were ups and downs in the sect, it continued until about 1300 in the Great Xia calendar.
In the secret volume of insights I found, there was the first case of a record of problems about the defects of the Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra.
It's just that it wasn't serious at that time, and I mostly thought that something had gone wrong with my cultivation, and although I had seen records in many secret scrolls, most of them attributed the problem to themselves, and it didn't spread.
Then it was intermittent, until the end of the Great Summer, it is estimated that it was the time period before the Nine Dragons seized the heir, and in the Ghost Spirit Gate, the problem of the "Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra" has been made public.
The top leaders of the sect reached a consensus and began to block the mountain gate, reduce the number of disciples going out, and actively seek a solution.
I don't know if it's lucky, because of the shrinkage policy of the Ghost Spirit Gate, it basically avoided the major events of the Great Xuandai Xia, and even avoided the most chaotic period of time in Kyushu.
At that time, that is, the ninth master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, finally decided on the development strategy of the sect and came up with the first research direction, that is, to improve the power of the natal talisman seal.
In other words, the six large chests in my room are the accumulation of nearly five hundred years since then.
At this point, the twelfth generation of current door owners, after the first two research directions have not been able to find a breakthrough for a long time, finally proposed the road of 'balance'. ”
Mo Chengjun used the most concise words to give a brief description of the entire history of the Ghost Spirit Gate, and the eyes of several elders flickered.
Of course, they could better hear the meaning of Mo Chengjun's words.
But it's always a little worse, they just can't grasp it, what does this so-called 'times have changed', what does it mean?
Mo Chengjun took a sip of tea, as if to give a few people time to think, but he didn't delay, put down the tea cup, and continued: "Throughout the history of the Ghost Spirit Gate, this "Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra" has gone from breaking through the immortal realm at the beginning, to the cultivation in the later period, to the problematic feedback at the end of the Great Summer, and then to the present, it has reached the point where it has not changed.
This proves that the problems of the Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra did not exist from the mother's womb, but slowly exposed over time.
So if we assume that there are no mistakes, omissions, and no loss of the "Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra", what is the problem? ”
At this point, Mo Chengjun paused slightly, and said: "The fault is that the times are different, the fault is that the years of nearly 1,400 years have passed, and the wrong thing is that under this long time, the world is different?" ”
"Heaven and earth are different?"
Second Elder Zhang was a little silent, and he even muttered to himself, "But why is this world different? ”
Mo Chengjun asked strangely: "Everything in this world is changing, from the sun, moon and stars, to mountains and rivers, to the red dust, everything in the world is changing."
Isn't it normal that this world is long, and thousands of years of time will always be different? ”
In Mo Chengjun's concept, everything in this world is changing, and all concrete things have to go through the process of generation, evolution and disappearance.
The reason why we can't perceive the change, or we are not so sensitive, is more in response to the sentence - only in this mountain, the clouds do not know where to go.
Only by looking back at what has happened in the past ten years and a hundred years, may you be surprised that it turns out that such a big change has taken place!
Elder Zhang San was still a little incredulous, and asked again, "Then tell me, what is different about this world?" ”
Mo Chengjun asked rhetorically: "The three elders, what changes did you say in the past thousand years, the Terran Kyushu?" ”
"What's changed?"
Elder Zhang San was a little unsure of how to answer, and for a moment, he didn't know how many 'big events' popped up in his mind, but he couldn't figure out which one Mo Chengjun wanted to ask?
Mo Chengjun seemed to understand his entanglement, and said to himself: "This fourteen hundred years is already a very long time, and the human race has experienced the Great Xuan Dynasty Xia and changed a dynasty.
is also the pillar of Great Xia, the martial arts have declined, and it is we who really walk on the stage, the Immortal Dao Sect.
Isn't that big enough? ”
To be honest, the Ghost Spirit Gate is actually not sensitive to this change of dynasty, who called them long enough, and sealed the mountain gate at the end of the Great Summer and escaped that catastrophe.
There is not much loss, and naturally I don't feel it deeply.
It's just that when Mo Chengjun said this, Elder Zhang San also had to admit it, but a group of people were even more confused.
Xiao Jixiang forgot the lesson that adults speak and children are not allowed to interject, and they all muttered: "Does this matter?" ”
"Of course it matters!"
Mo Chengjun actually nodded, and said softly: "Da Xuan Dai Xia, it is said that the martial arts have declined, and they can't suppress the general trend of the heaven and earth, and they can't suppress the rolling red dust, demons and monsters, and I need my immortal path to enter the world to purify all sentient beings, save the people, water and fire."
This is the most common statement, but some time ago I almost went through all the history books and biographies of the late summer years and made a statistic.
At the end of the Great Xia, there was a peerless martial saint in the entire dynasty, that is, Zhang Xutuo, who was known as the dynasty's fifty-year life, and there were no less than 20 martial saints, all of whom were strongmen with names and surnames, had a resume, and had the bonds of the sect.
They may have their own demands, but when the Great Xuan Dynasty gives an order, who of them dares to disobey?
With this kind of quantity, compared to the beginning of the founding of Great Xia, how many times stronger is the dynasty supported by Emperor Taizu Yu and a martial saint?
Not to mention that Great Xia is a typical country founded by force, and compared with the suppression of foreign arts, martial arts are flourishing.
From the original martial arts sect, to the martial arts academy system, and even to the martial arts system that has been formed in the later period, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country has devoted its strength to cultivating martial arts.
In addition, the Great Xuan Dynasty revised the arsenal, included the world's martial arts, and gathered many grandmasters and martial saints to study day and night, and obtained the secret nine martial arts of the royal family.
That's it, not counting the thirty-six kinds of exercises that were spread by the imperial court to the outside world, as well as the exercises that can achieve martial saints with names and surnames, there are no less than hundred.
How much stronger is this than at the beginning of the founding of Great Xia? ”
Speaking of this, Mo Chengjun finally paused before throwing out his argument: "So, in fact, it's not that the martial artists have declined all the way, on the contrary, they have made great progress, and their strength has reached another peak." ”
"But they failed?"
At this time, Xue Ling spoke, and the little guy listened for a long time, and finally couldn't help it.
"Yes, they failed, which naturally has the reason of corruption in the government and internal friction in the dynasty, but after all, the strength is there, and it shouldn't be so unbearable anyway.
But that's just the way it is.
They were defeated, so defeated that they have been suppressed by our Immortal Sect so far, and they can't even raise their heads.
So what is the reason?
Are they too weak?
No, it's not that they're weak, it's that I'm waiting for the Xianmen to become stronger!
But Great Xia has been a football country for 1,500 years, and Yiren has been suppressed and can't raise his head, without a good environment for learning and development, why is it stronger than martial arts?
Why is it stronger than martial arts? ”
Well, he habitually stopped, and when everyone's concentration was mentioned to the highest, Mo Chengjun continued: "As the saying goes, what is needed to do something is the right time, place, and people. This location and people, immortal cultivation does not have an advantage, and the only advantage is only one - Tianshi.
Yes, the heavens and the earth are different, the heavens have changed, so the means of immortal cultivation are also different.
So what's different about this world?
I think it is the number and density of spiritual opportunities between heaven and earth that have reached a new level. ”
This conclusion, in fact, is quite normal in Mo Chengjun's opinion.
No way, after all, after so many beatings, the concept of Reiki revival is a kind of common sense.
Mo Chengjun still remembers that many years ago, when he was studying "Sword Theory III", he made the conclusion that 'the spiritual machine of heaven and earth has pseudo-intelligence', and deduced that the revival of spiritual energy was caused by the residual spirituality after the death of the ghost.
Looking at it now, I won't say how outrageous this inference is, but at least in Mo Chengjun's place, the concept of 'aura recovery' is actually very ordinary.
Everything in this world is changing, so it is not impossible that the number of spiritual machines in this world is increasing, if this inference is true, what will be the consequences?
The five elders of the ghost spirit are not stupid people after all, after Mo Chengjun threw out his final conclusion, they naturally had many associations.
Elder Zhang Si: "Although the martial arts also pay attention to absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, they are more inward-looking, and they mostly use the spiritual machine of heaven and earth to temper their physique.
not like us, but for the outside.
If, as Master Mo said, the number and density of this spiritual machine have increased to a certain extent, then our immortal cultivators have indeed taken a big advantage. ”
"Fourth brother, you didn't get to the point at all!"
Elder Zhang Wu immediately retorted, and said: "The real advantage should be the Dao Protector Technique, the magic power of our immortal cultivation, which one does not use the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Machines of the outside world?"
And how many of them are purely supported by their own mana?
But what about Takeo?
Most of their martial arts are to exert their own strength, or physique, or internal force true yuan, even if it is the heaven and earth that they absorb, they pay more attention to the unity of divine consciousness and the means to truly control the spiritual power of heaven and earth, which cannot be said to be completely absent, but it is also extremely rough.
If this is true that the number and density of heaven and earth spiritual machines have increased explosively, it means that we have taken a big advantage. ”
Elder Zhang San had a bad temper, but he thought deeper, his eyes flashed, and he was as deep as the sea: "If all these prerequisites are true, then the specific time point of this 'heavenly change' must be the end of the Great Summer.
That point was when my Immortal Cultivator took a big step forward and replaced Wufu to guard the luck of the Kyushu Terran, and it was also the day when my Ghost Spirit Sect monk noticed that something was wrong when he was cultivating.
Or explosively increasing, or increasing, until that point in time, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the world is different, then everything is different. ”
Elder Zhang Er seemed to be penetrated by the Heavenly Spirit Gai: "In other words, the era that the Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra is suitable for is 1,400 years ago, and it is the number and density of heaven and earth spiritual machines when the ancestor was alive.
But now, the heavens and the earth are different, and the number and density of spiritual machines are also different, and the direct result is that the natal talisman seal is not applicable? ”
Yes, this is the final summary of Mo Chengjun's work for so long, and it is also the point he found that was ignored.
If you simply study the "Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra", if you don't hear it well, you will never be able to get out of that cage.
Even, if you are in it, such as looking for someone in the mountains, how can you climb high and look far?
But from a historical point of view, everything seems to be hidden.
To be honest, Mo Chengjun also felt that he was lucky, if he hadn't thought about the five elders of the ghost spirit in the lake, and studied the history of the ghost spirit sect that couldn't be beaten by eight poles, otherwise, he might not be able to find this direction.
If you really run forward along the idea of the ghost spirit gate, it is estimated that you will really have to fall into the 'knowledge and vision barrier', and the more you study it, the more you can't break free.
At this time, Elder Zhang Yi spoke again, the same simple words, but they went straight to the core: "Master Mo, then now, what should we do?" ”
Mo Chengjun: "Yesterday, I carefully checked the information of the natal talisman seal and found that your research path is basically the natal talisman seal is not moving, but it is only strengthened by various additional means.
That's probably why you didn't even happen to run into it. ”
"And now?"
"In the final analysis, this should be due to the restriction caused by something wrong in the natal talisman seal, which is not suitable for the density of heaven and earth in this era.
Then what we have to do now is to disassemble the natal talisman seal, disassemble it into the smallest and most detailed unit, study the role of each spiritual seal book, and determine the effect of each piece.
Then keep changing, trying, and looking for the parts that don't fit, and replace or change them. ”
After a pause, he said again: "This matter is my main research direction after today, and I will do my best!"
But I'm just one person after all, and I'm not too familiar with Fu Seal, so I want to ask the Fifth Elder to pass on my thoughts directly to your sect master, and ask your Ghost Spirit Sect to send enough professionals to participate in this work.
At the same time, such a changed natal talisman seal still has to find someone to cultivate, observe it in real time, and see its subsequent reaction.
This process is actually quite dangerous, and you have to explain it clearly to someone when you are looking for someone. ”
After all, it is the change of the natal talisman seal, Mo Chengjun doesn't want to experiment with himself, there is only one small life, and he is also afraid!
However, what he was worried about was not what the five ghost elders cared about.
They agreed almost without hesitation, and patted their chests to promise that everything they said today would be transmitted back to the Ghost Spirit Gate as quickly as possible.
And if Mo Chengjun has results, don't worry about it, even if the people from the sect haven't come over, they can also come by themselves.
Looking at a group of five bitter gourd-faced old men beaming with joy, well, he felt that he still underestimated the seriousness of the problem in the Taiping Imperial Ghost Sutra!
After the matter was discussed, the five elders of the ghosts left with a hula, and also dragged Zhang Jixiang away, they were obviously already busy.
And what about Mo Chengjun?
They didn't move, but drank the tea in their cups, squinting slightly, not knowing what they were thinking?
In fact, he is also confused now, and this confusion does not come from his speculation about the 'revival of the spirit', but if this speculation is true, an unavoidable problem arises.
Why are there more and more spiritual opportunities in this heaven and earth?
Is it proliferation?
Or is it split?
Or, like human beings, there is a yin and a yang, and the combination of the two can't give birth to a 'child'?
