CHAPTER XLII
"I'm still a little puzzled, at the beginning, Xuanzang was to spread the Dharma to the east, and the incidental effect was to promote the Buddha and suppress the Tao, so why now? It seems that apart from awakening the indigenous gods of North America, there is nothing. Besides, it's not for the sake of preaching after waking up, it's not good. Do you want to stage a modern version of Journey to the West?
"Boy, have you ever wondered why there are gods all over the world? Although the systems are different, they are basically the same type in general, don't you think it's strange? β
"I thought about it, the gods themselves are a strange thing. The stories of gods are collectively referred to as myths, and it seems that there are myths in all cultures around the world. Where did God come from? Why do you have such a strong ability? Why do you rule over humanity? Why do people listen to God? Of course I thought about it. β
"In the past years, the human spirit was not so developed. It's not that people are stupid, but in fact, human IQ has always been not low. The so-called spiritual intelligence is actually a general term for the ability to think independently, the ability to improve oneself, and the ability to evolve the mind and spirit. Although there are some people, such as Taoist ancestors and Buddhas, they are all in the minority. People who can really complete self-improvement have always been in the minority. Especially in the world other than the Central Plains, a limited number of people are distributed among hundreds of millions of sentient beings, which is basically zero. β
"Aren't there any saints in the West? It is not often said on the Internet that Aristotle, Socrates, Plato or anything are all Western saints. β
"They are far from being saints, and at most they are exemplary in terms of teaching and non-class, or ideological enlightenment. However, in the Central Plains, in addition to the education of disciples, the key is to have a complete cultivation system. This system is very important to keep mortals out of the ordinary, do they? And the transcendent mortals are the foundation of the new generation of gods. β
"Mortals are the basis of the gods?! Isn't that god energy-producing? β
"Yes, god generals and god soldiers can actually become gods, and even grass head gods and hairy head gods are numerous."
"And the West now?"
"Because the wrong position is the stubborn belief in a god and the various reasons for the war under God. Except for the Central Plains system, all other cultivation systems were extinct. What we want to do is to discover and sort out the practices of other races. β
"What's the use? Isn't it better that I'm the only one? β
"Boy, the world is not what you think. Every race, every exercise, has its own meaning of existence. African exercises focus on physical arts, South American exercises are unique in the cultivation of the soul, European exercises are proficient in the power of nature and death, and the exercises of the Central Plains are the most comprehensive and pay the most attention to the overall spiritual level. If these exercises can be fully excavated and properly taught to human beings. The overall level of humanity will not rise by a notch. β
"So you still have the idea of saving mankind? Why don't we think this is something that demons should do? Such a great thing, just listening to it feels difficult to achieve, and now an ancient demon said to me, I am in a bit of a trance.
"You humans are obsessed with the authorities, and there is serious self-friction. This world is much deeper than you think, and once the balance is broken, what awaits humanity and ours does not know what it is. To help you is to save ourselves. β
"You just said that myths can't be seen as myths? So what should you look at? What does this mean? I thought of the message in what he had just said.
"Enlightenment, boy. What is History? Is history true? You haven't seen it with your own eyes. In fact, history is everyone's fabrication and imagination, and it is recorded. Can you guarantee that the language you speak now will not be misunderstood after the year 2000? So there are a lot of things that you may not understand. Kui began to circle with me.
"You're starting to pretend to be sophisticated, and I thought you were different from them. Now let's talk about the present, the students are here, and the new semester is about to begin. They all lived for hundreds of years... Old goblin, how can I arrange for them to go straight to class? Or the reality of the problem is more urgent.
"It's important for them to learn the language."
"I know that every new student will be given a language test and language training according to the level." ,Nonsense,How do you know if you don't arrange a language test, if you divide the class,Only ABC can be in a class with IELTS score of 6 or moreγ
"This is the most basic level, and I want to give them a taste of the essence of the Western language. Boy, if you have time, you should also study the language, the language is much more powerful than you think. β
"I understand, you just said that the inheritance of culture, written language is one of them." , I deeply believe that I can't speak, how to survive.
"It's not that simple, that's one thing. Have you ever wondered why a tree is not at all the same as the words you write, but you still know it as a tree and can think of it as it is? In the same way, everything in the world, a name, you can immediately think of what it looks like, and even if you haven't seen it, you can vaguely recognize what it is like and what it is for. You call it a tree, is it really a tree? So why do Chinese, English, and Japanese have trees, but the names are different? Have you thought about it? β
"It's so profound, how could I think so much."
I looked at Kui, this guy is not a philosopher, right, who would think about such a thing? Too complicated? Why is it called a tree? Since I was a child, my parents have taught me that.,Why can you see words and think of graphics?,That's trained since childhood.,Pictures and words are associated together.γ No, wait, if no one has taught and contacted since childhood, does the tree still exist? It should exist, but what disappears? Is the text gone? What if the names of all things in the world were not his original names? So what were their original names? This is indeed like the Tao, and the Tao is also named by Lao Tzu himself, and now it can also be called Dao power, demon power, spiritual power, spiritual power or whatever the name. If so, what is the origin of the world? Is the purpose of language to imprison everything in this world?
Kui looked at me, and suddenly a syllable came out of his mouth, a sound I had never heard before, and I wouldn't even imitate. Then the tables, chairs, cabinet doors, and even cutting boards that filled the room began to tremble and flash. Although it stopped quickly, the shock it brought to me was very great, even to the point of horror. Zi Hao, who was in the mirror upstairs, was also frightened out and hurriedly floated out down the stairs.
"This is the name of the source of wood, and as long as you call it out, everything wooden will resonate. It's as if someone on the road calls your name and you look back. Kui interjected his hands and looked at me.
"How... How do you pronounce it? This is so dazzling, I want to learn it too.
"I can't teach you, don't think about it. This is not a sound that can be made with the voice, the source name, it is the voice that comes out with the soul as the source, it is the voice of the soul. I'm just showing you that the world is different from what you think. You say wood in Chinese, in English, in various languages, wood will not pay attention to you, only use the source name, will echo. β
"You wait, you call again, I'll use Tianmu to see the changes in rules and energy." , I suddenly thought of Tianmu.
"You can teach, it seems that you have really begun to observe the origin of the world. I'll do it again, and I'll see it. β
I immediately closed my eyes and focused all my energy on the Celestial Eye. In Tianmu, Kui is an object with very tight lines, so tight that there are basically no gaps. On his lines and in the space encased by the lines, there is a mass, no, a piece of energy that looks very thick, an unassailable feeling. Compared to all the things in this room, including me and Zihao, he is the most real existence, which means that in Tianmu, a vision that can only see lines and energy, Kui is his original appearance.
Everything else was simple lines, including the wood that had just glittered and trembled. At this time, the voice came out of Kui's mouth again. I clearly saw a symbol appear in the Celestial Eye, what is this? This symbol is tight, like the flesh of Kui. Then the symbol suddenly flickered in the air, and shattered and exploded, and it exploded into countless small symbols. And all the wooden things in the house also split out this symbol, large and small, to welcome the arrival of this symbol. After receiving this symbol, instinct began to tremble. But after a while, the symbol was spit out by the wood again, and the wood began to glow. The spit out symbol gathers up again, and returns to Kui's body? Slowly disappearing into his body?! What's going on?
I opened my eyes and told me what I had observed.
Kui was very happy and said, "Your Tianmu Gong has really improved a lot, and you can observe the power of the Origin." If you can see it, you will use it slowly. We didn't see anyone wrong, haha. β
"Is that symbol the power of the Primordial?"
"Yes, it's the origin of the source name. I'll use him, but he'll come back to me after the wood. This is to ensure that the source is not lost. So that's it.
"What happens if you lose the origin of the word?"
"Will forget how to use it. Ability, not that you have been there once you have learned, that kind of knowledge is called knowledge. Ability is something you need to pay a certain price, just like carving, you learn it, but if you don't practice it, you can't be considered a master. You have to accumulate your experience through constant practice, which is the accumulation of the source, and then in a certain time, you will burst out your experience. Some artists finish a work and then there is no more, which means that he has exploded all the origins and confiscated them, and Jiang Lang is exhausted. But some artists can create multiple times, and each time it is better than the other, this is because they have inadvertently mastered the ability to retract and release the source, and will not consume it. You have to remember this, if you consume the source too much, no matter how hard you work, it will always be at the starting point, you see that some people have been practicing, and they always do not succeed, this is the truth. β
