Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Truth About the Power of Demons and Gods
Ji Shang has been helping in the hospital until six o'clock in the morning before leaving, and the two little girls are working in Guicheng helplessly, and it is not too troublesome to be able to help a little.
But looking at Xiao He's pale face lying on the hospital bed after washing his stomach, Ji Shang kept holding his breath in his heart.
What's the trouble?
Ignoring human life is not such a method.
If you really want them to rule the world, everyone still has a way to live?
Taking advantage of the time when Lin Qinghe went to pay the bill, Ji Shang opened the push of the catastrophe, and the new information has been refreshed.
"The Dust Bone Man finally felt the power of the ghosts for the first time---- although it didn't happen to you."
"General Liu Meng, who drove the insects, showed its wrath, and an innocent earthly man almost died under its divine power."
"It thought that such a deterrence would bring the Skeleton to its knees, but in fact, it would be responded with even greater anger."
"The anger of the Dust Bones is unquenchable, and the earthly world is full of firewood."
"In the corners that the ghosts and gods have no control, there are some keen eyes that have been cast in the direction of the ghosts."
"Maybe one day, these ordinary earthly people will rekindle the fire of a thousand years ago and burn all the ghosts and gods who stepped into the world."
"The Dust Bone Man with a torch has appeared, but when will the fire be ignited?"
"Perhaps, just today......"
Ji Shang's brows furrowed slightly, and from the information of the Great Calamity, he read some special content.
"The eyes of the world have turned to the ghosts and gods."
That also means that in addition to themselves, in addition to those so-called "fragrant bone people", there are still people who are paying attention to the movements of the ghosts and gods who have come to the world?
This is great news for me---- at least to confirm that I am not alone.
But how to bring these people together is a problem.
Perhaps, through the official.
Ji Shang thought secretly.
It was probably the first thought that popped into his head in the face of a large-scale, catastrophic event.
However, this is a matter for the future, and the most urgent thing for him now is to find Tan Qian and get the so-called "stealing the power of ghosts and gods" from him, so as to improve his strength in the shortest possible time and eliminate the threat around him.
After Lin Qinghe paid the fee, the time was exactly seven o'clock in the morning, Ji Shang packed up his things and left the hospital, and after a simple bite of breakfast at the breakfast shop outside, he took a taxi and followed the earliest group of tourists into the Qixia Temple Scenic Area.
He went straight to the apse of Qixia Temple, searched around, and finally found Tan Qian who was doing morning classes in a meditation room.
Regardless of any etiquette or awe, Ji Shang directly pulled him out of the meditation room and put forward his own requirements straightforwardly:
"I'm going to take a look at the Qixia Cave, and then, you're going to give me all the information about 'using the power of the ghosts', and after that, I'll decide if I want to cooperate with you or not."
Tan Qian didn't seem surprised by Ji Shang's arrival, he nodded slightly, and replied:
"Talk as you go."
It's still exactly the same path as last time, but the feeling of climbing in the early morning is completely different from at sunset.
The two of them are surrounded by the incessant sound of birdsong, which seems to be lively and full of life.
"So, you've crossed the line since you left last time, so that means you've seen the ghosts and gods in their true form?"
Ji Shang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"The ghosts and gods in your eyes should be different from the ghosts and gods in the eyes of the Xianggu people, right?"
"---- you don't need to answer this question, I actually know the answer."
"The reason why I ask you this is because I want you to know where the power of the ghosts and gods comes from."
"Where?"
Ji Shang couldn't stand his way of speaking like this.
My time is very tight, and I really don't have time to go around the bend with him.
"Bones."
"Bones?"
Ji Shang subconsciously repeated.
But in reality, this answer was not unexpected by him.
In this world, there are fragrant bone people and dust bone people, so it is obvious that the power related to ghosts and gods must be related to the so-called "bones".
But what is the essence of "bone"?
As if guessing that he was going to ask this, Tan Qian climbed up again and again, and continued:
"The so-called bones, or 'bones', are not really bones, but a kind of image expression of the 'object' by earthly people."
"You are a Dust Bone Man and you have already had the experience of crossing boundaries, so you should know that no matter what the appearance of ghosts and gods is in the eyes of the Fragrant Bone People, in the 'real world', the so-called ghosts and gods are actually nothing more than supernatural objects composed of a bunch of lines."
Ji Shang was shocked, even Lu Li had not said anything about this matter, it seemed that the inheritance of Qixia Temple was deeper than he imagined.
Seeing that Ji Shang didn't react, Tan Qian said to himself.
"Those lines are the so-called 'bones'."
"Therefore, all the power beyond nature in this world actually comes from 'bones', gods have divine bones, fragrant bones people have fragrant bones, and you have dust bones."
"When the 'bones' are presented in different forms, they will touch different forces, which is also called 'supernatural powers'."
"You may ask, the Xianggu people don't have divine bones, why can they have supernatural powers, is it because they have changed the form of their so-called bones?"
“....... Don't ask me questions, just tell me the answers! ”
Ji Shang interrupted angrily.
Tan Qian smiled and continued:
"It's a habit I've developed as a teaching assistant....... Well, let's move on. ”
"The magical powers of the Xianggu people are not because they have changed the form of the bones, but because they temporarily contain the 'divine bones' that the ghosts and gods have descended on them."
"That's why, the vast majority of Xianggu people need to use the way of getting up, getting up, and inviting gods to obtain supernatural powers, because that's how they communicate with ghosts and gods."
"There are many different names for the process of descending the divine bones and containing the divine bones, which is called inviting the gods in Taoism, blessings in Mahayana Buddhism, 'binding' in the secret hiding place, 'falling hole' in Xiangxi, 'Du Jie' in the Meishan sect of our current Yao Township, and psychic ...... in most niche witchcraft."
"It's a bit far."
"All in all, all these different names actually point to the same thing, that is, the process by which ghosts and gods separate their own divine bones, and the Xianggu people use 'incense', or more popularly, 'wishing power' to contain the divine bones."
"Now, I should have made the source of the so-called 'ghost power' clear enough, right?"
Ji Shang nodded, he did say it very clearly.
"So, the secret of Qixia Temple is the process of skipping the link of 'wishing power' and asking for divine bones from ghosts and gods? That's why you're enemies of the demons and gods? You're stealing from them, right? ”
Tan Qian's face showed a look of surprise, he turned to Ji Shang, and said solemnly:
"As I said when I first met you, you are far more sensitive than I could have imagined."
"Yes, you're quite right."
"Qixia Temple is stealing the divine bones of ghosts and gods, but unfortunately, not all earthly people can accommodate divine bones---- we must transform them so that they can have the same 'container' as the incense bone people without establishing contact with ghosts and gods, and without offering incense and wishing power."
"Or to put it in the jargon of the Qixia temple system: we are reshaping their flesh and implanting them with fragrant bones."
"Different from the weight mentioned in the fate of touching the bones, the vast majority of ordinary people in this world, they do not have fragrant bones, and the fragrant bones must reach at least one point or more to be enough to accommodate the divine bones."
"Above one point, every point is a moat, and every point of bone weight increase will also greatly increase the upper limit that can accommodate divine bones."
"A simple example, after transformation, a mortal with a bone weight of one point can hold a maximum of one divine bone, and after benchmarking, it is probably equivalent to being able to hold all the divine power of a woman who hates to marry, because the weight of its divine bone is about one point."
"But if the bone weight reaches seven taels, it can accommodate the divine power of the Fuxian Bodhisattva and compete with the strongest of all the ghost and god forces."
"Do you know how much your bones weigh as a Dust Bone Man?"
"Seventy-two-two dollars."
Ji Shang replied expressionlessly.
“...... Yes, you know what that means? ”
Ji Shang was silent for a moment and replied:
"It means that I can not only accommodate the divine bones of the Fuxian Bodhisattva, but also the divine bones of twenty more women who hate to marry?"
“....... Why do you have to say such nonsensical things at such a serious moment? ”
"Seven taels and two coins, it is definitely not as simple as two more than seven taels, in fact, the upper limit of the weight of the god bones in this world is seven taels and two coins!"
"In other words, the Dust Bone Man is a person who has broken through the boundary, and the upper limit of the bones you can accommodate ghosts, gods, and gods is ......."
"Infinite."
"As long as you can get them."
"So, do you now know why all the ghosts and gods want you to die?"
"The reason is so simple....... From the moment you were born, you were already their enemy. ”
"It is your destiny to hunt ghosts and gods, and it is also your instinct that will eventually awaken."
"When the mortal beings and the ghosts and gods coexist in the earthly world, the result can only be one of the two."
"Either that, or the Dust Bone Man is strangled by the ghosts and gods, and the dust bones fall into the hands of a certain ghost god, and are used by it to rule the entire earthly world."
"Either that, or the Dust Bone Man buries all the ---- and I mean all the ghosts and gods in the grave!"
