Chapter 191: Machines?
The treacherous Yan Yu, the banquet, the ghosts in the Confucian sect, and the forces suspected of evil cultivators, Lin Xixue only felt that the whole thing was becoming more and more confusing.
However, there was one thing that suddenly made Lin Xixue a little concerned, Yan Yu and Yanyou, why are the pronunciations of their names so similar?
However, the similarity in pronunciation of the names doesn't seem to explain anything, maybe it's just a coincidence?
However, although Lin Xixue knew rationally that the pronunciation of the names was similar and could not be used as any basis for judgment, she just felt that it was very strange.
She shook her head, didn't dwell on these groundless things, and continued to ask Shi Xueqian: "Regarding that military formation, will you use your wishing power?" β
"Willpower? What is it? Shi Xueqian was a little dazed when he heard this, "The core of the military formation is to stimulate morale, morale is high-pitched, and the soldiers are naturally brave." β
Lin Xixue thought to herself, Fang Cai's historical scholar Qian obviously added the will of thousands of soldiers to himself, but he said that this was to stimulate morale.
A flash of realization suddenly flashed in her heart, it seems that different groups of people have different names and cognitions of this willingness, but their essence is the same, they are all the convergence of group consciousness.
This convergence of consciousness can be manifested in the form of incense and incense, or it can be expressed in the form of military formations, on-site collection and on-site use of willingness.
"Where did you learn this morale-boosting formation?"
"Where did you learn it?" Shi Xueqian was even more confused when he heard this, "Are they all deduced from generations of military advisors and famous generals in the battle?" β
"Are you saying that this military formation art of war was created by man himself?"
"What kind of words is this, the art of war in the military formation was not created by the people who led the troops themselves by summing up the experience of their predecessors, is it difficult or it fell from the sky? It's not a script, can there really be a soldier immortal descending to the world to pass on the law? β
Lin Xixue was also shocked when she heard this, she thought that this military array was also a means of collecting wish power passed down by a certain monster, but she didn't expect that it was actually passed down by the person who led the troops?
This discovery once again subverted her previous cognition, after all, in her previous cognition, collecting wish power was a means of cultivation.
But now she realizes that as long as the will power converges on a specific individual, that individual can drive out this strange powerβeven if the individual doesn't understand what the wish power is.
For example, at the moment, this historian mistook his wish power for morale, but it did not affect him to drive the power of his will to his own body and retreat from the enemy.
This discovery can't help but make Lin Xixue think, now that the power of desire is gathered on the "person" of Shi Xueqian, if this power of desire is gathered on other "non-human" things, what will happen?
She suddenly thought of what Lu Er had told her, the land god who feeds on the power of wishes and flesh and blood, the Taisha.
Immediately afterwards, she thought of the various tributaries of the "witch" that the embroidery lady had told her, such as the heavenly witch, such as the insect witch.
She had a baseless guess in her heart, could it be that fundamentally, Taisha, a strange creature, was born because of the convergence of willpower?
Perhaps, like this Shi Xueqian, Taisha does not have a correct understanding of what is called the power of wishes, but because of the convergence of the power of wishes, all kinds of miracles have arisen.
Thinking of this, she suddenly sensed an indescribable strange feeling.
I don't know why, she suddenly felt that this Taisha was very similar to the steam engine in her previous life. After all, the steam engine can't understand what energy is, but simply does external work through the pressure of water vapor.
It's like this Taisha that doesn't seem to understand what it means, but it can continue to transform it into the fertility of the land, so as to maintain the fertility of the land.
She suddenly had an extremely whimsical idea, is it possible that this Taisha was actually designed and manufactured by "Wu", a kind of machine that absorbs the power of wishes and maintains the fertility of the soil?
Then, for some reason, the witch suddenly disappeared on a large scale in the Nancang Realm, and then the "witchcraft" was lost, and gradually everyone could not operate the machine of the "Taisha" correctly, resulting in a large-scale land barrenness?
She herself felt that her conjecture was too marginal, and even completely nested into this world with modern industrial thinking, without any substantive evidence to support it.
However, this explanation inexplicably made her feel that the logic was unusually self-consistent.
Maybe when everything is satisfactorily resolved, I have to go to Wujiang and explore the secrets of this "witch".
The treasure map that the embroidery lady gave herself, the treasure house marked on it, may also find clues about "witches".
In short, Lin Xixue's ultimate goal is to completely cut off the supply of incense from monsters, make the people believe in themselves, bless all their wishes on themselves, and let the people create a better life by themselves.
In order to do this, it is particularly important to understand the various qualities of this will.
And from the current point of view, the first group in the Southern Cang Realm to try to use the power of the will is "Wu", so the only Wujiang that still retains the inheritance of witchcraft, she will have to go to it sooner or later.
But now, there are more pressing issues that need to be addressed.
"I came to you, not intending to do anything with you, just to find a friend."
"I knew it, but at that time, I was disturbed by the blood shadow, and my blood was surging, and I was still conscious, but I made all kinds of irrational actions."
"Now that I've broken my hand and foot, are you still willing to help?"
"Borrowing the power of the military formation, and losing to a woman, naturally I have no face and resentment, I will cooperate with the girl to find someone."
Although Lin Xixue noticed that there was some contempt for women in her words, she didn't want to worry about anything with her, so she just sneered and said, "You must know that there are many women in this world who are better than men, but I am not the only one." β
Shi Xueqian was slightly stunned, and then said ashamedly: "What the girl taught me is that I am arrogant." β
Lin Xixue was deliberately sarcastic, but at this moment, seeing Shi Xueqian suddenly softened, he didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't expect that before and after the blood shadow fled, this person's personality would change so drastically.
"Actually, it's a simple matter of finding someone, my friend was taken away by a hundred households in Xinliang City, you go to Xinliang City a few days ago to check the list of 100 households, to see if anyone has brought back a woman, I think you will be able to find my friend soon."
"There are indeed a few hundred households who went to Xinliang City a few days ago, if one of them hid your friend in a private house, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, but it was okay." Shi Xueqian pointed out the loopholes in Lin Xixue's plan.
"I naturally thought about this matter, you privately gathered these hundreds of households together, let them investigate what 'bacteria' is, whoever finds out can be promoted to a thousand households, and then let them write the results of the investigation into a secret letter to you, after I read it, I naturally know who is the real murderer."
Shi Xueqian comprehended and understood that this was probably something that only her friend knew, and immediately nodded in response.
