Volume 1 Life Ups and Downs Chapter 101 Eggs and Duck Eggs
Bai Mengtang said: "In the absence of sufficient clues, if you want to find out the ins and outs of a thing, you must know its characteristics and uses, so as to deduce its maker." For example, a knife, is it suitable for chopping or cutting, is it finely crafted or is it rough and polished? Sharpened knives that are rough enough for chopping are more likely to be used by woodcutters. Are you right?"
Wang Xiaotian nodded.
"So," Bai Mengtang said seductively, "First of all, you must thoroughly know the characteristics and ins and outs of the innate Xuan Vein, so that you can deduce its origin, isn't it?"
"What are the characteristics of the innate Xuan Vein?"
"That's what you're asking about. Bai Mengtang said: "After my research over the years, I have found that patients with polysoul disorder have several obvious characteristics. First, they are all orphans, and even if they are raised, they are adoptive parents who are not related by blood, and there are no clues about their biological parents. ”
"Second, the qualifications are very good, so to speak, talented. Once the soul fusion is completed, the growth rate is astonishing. Third, before completing the soul fusion, they are all stupid. This is markedly different from a split soul or personality. ”
Wang Xiaotian was puzzled, "What does this mean, and what does it have to do with the innate Xuan Vein?"
Bai Mengtang asked rhetorically: "What do you think is the relationship between the soul, or the consciousness of a person, and the body?"
Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "The body is the container of the soul, and the soul controls the body. If there is no soul, man is a walking corpse. If there is no body, the soul will also disappear. ”
Bai Mengtang nodded and said, "Not bad." However, it is not accurate enough. Without a body, the soul may not disappear. To use a simple analogy of my own. I was injured at a young age, my legs were crippled, and my upper body was stunted, so I replaced my body with this mech. In this way, I became the soul of the mech. I leave this mech, and I still exist. Without me, the mecha also exists, and it can be opened by someone else. ”
Wang Xiaotian was confused, shook his head and said: "I understand the truth, but how to operate the soul and body of a human being? The soul is formless and substantial, how to store it? Is there really someone who can have such a magical ability?"
Bai Mengtang nodded, "Don't think of the soul as so mysterious. You think that it can't be intangible, that it can't be stored, and that's because of the limitations of your cognition. As for operating souls, don't say it, there really is. After all these years of research, we have found that all the congenital mystical hypersouls, except for the main soul, are all parasitic souls, which have been put in by people through wonderful means. ”
Wang Xiaotian was surprised. He looked at Bai Mengtang in disbelief, "Why did he do this?"
Bai Mengtang shook his head, "I don't know." So far, the mastermind behind it has not been found. But I can be sure that the innate metaphysis is by no means a natural occurrence, but is created by human manipulation. ”
"Although with the current technological means, it is impossible to do this. But the level of science and technology before the old era was 10,000 times stronger than now. If there are really technological relics of the old era, it is not difficult to do it. ”
Wang Xiaotian said puzzledly: "Even if you can do it, how can so many souls be mixed together?"
Bai Mengtang was stunned for a moment and said, "So many, how many do you have?"
Wang Xiaotian's eyes dodged, and he whispered, "Mine is at least eight." ”
Bai Mengtang and Ye Zhanjian suddenly realized. No wonder Wang Xiaotian said just now, his mind was messed up with a pot of porridge, it turned out that there were so many parasitic souls.
Bai Mengtang said: "It's really hard for you how to overcome polysoulism. I have seen the most innate Xuan veins, and there are only five parasitic souls, and that is him. He pointed to Ye Zhanjian.
Ye Zhanjian smiled at Wang Xiaotian.
"The more souls there are, the more chaotic they are, and the longer they will recover. It's a miracle that you can get back to normal so quickly. ”
Wang Xiaotian smiled a little embarrassedly. If it weren't for the fact that the old fox man wanted to take him away and forcibly invade his sea of knowledge, but he accidentally bumped into it and helped him strengthen his main soul, he didn't know when he would be able to complete the soul fusion.
Bai Mengtang continued: "How the souls are mixed together has not yet been figured out, only a bold guess. To make it easier for you to understand, you can use the analogy of an egg. The soul is like the yolk of an egg, which forms the egg liquid with the egg white, which is stored in the shell. Normally, an eggshell holds a soul, and then a chick hatches. ”
"But one day a bad guy came, and he broke all the eggs, and then deliberately put them in, some broken duck eggs. And, stirred a few times frantically. The owner of the eggs who heard the news drove away the bad guys, but what should he do in the face of a mess of eggs and duck eggs?"
In order to recover the loss, the owner of the egg can only find a way to put the eggshell together, or use something else to make an artificial eggshell, take some of the mixed egg liquid and put it in the eggshell, and see if the chicks can hatch. As a result, he turned out to be successful. Although the hatched chicks are not lively enough, they are alive. ”
Bai Mengtang looked at Wang Xiaotian, who was sluggish, and sighed: "We are those chicks that hatch out of a mess of egg liquid." ”
It took a while for Wang Xiaotian to react, and he looked at Bai Mengtang in disbelief and said, "If the egg yolk is stirred up, can it still hatch chicks?"
Bai Mengtang spread his hands, "It's just a metaphor. What the specifics are, so far has not been investigated. ”
Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "When did you start doing this?"
Bai Mengtang said: "It's been more than forty years. This place is not my fault, though. At least more than 200 years ago, there were already our predecessors who were investigating this matter. This base was also originally established by them. Many people have put in the effort to build this place. ”
Wang Xiaotian was surprised, "Base?"
"That's right, it's our base. ”
"Who are we?"
Bai Mengtang pointed behind Wang Xiaotian.
Wang Xiaotian turned around suspiciously, and saw a peculiar sign on the wall behind him, two arms connected together to form a circle, and in the middle was a sword, on the left side of the sword was a book, and on the right side was a wrench.
Wang Xiaotian didn't know why, so he couldn't help asking, "What sign is this?"
Bai Mengtang said, "This is the sign of a Jedi Walker. The arm represents protection, the sword represents progress, the book represents knowledge, and the wrench represents technology. The meaning of the whole sign is to use our knowledge and technology to provide protection for the innate Xuanxi, and to be determined to track down the truth of the matter. ”
"Jedi Walker?" Wang Xiaotian was even more puzzled.
"That's right. Being in the Jedi, the heart is towards the light. Our experiences are unimaginable to ordinary people, our fate is even more difficult for ordinary people to speculate, our qualifications and talents can only be looked up to by ordinary people, and our achievements are simply incomparable to ordinary people. ”
"We are like walkers walking in a Jedi full of danger, murder and temptation, difficult, lonely, and ready to be martyred. We must keep our faith, be in a Jedi, have a bright heart, abide by our principles, and uphold justice. ”
"Don't be aggressive, stay calm and wise. Do not be foolish, but obey science and truth. Do not indulge your passions, remain calm and restrained. Don't rely on violence, be humble and tolerant. Do not fear death, remain brave and just. ”
Wang Xiaotian didn't seem to understand. The information I just heard was so shocking that my head was a little confused.
Bai Mengtang didn't say any more, but stopped and slowly tasted the whiskey, waiting for Wang Xiaotian to digest the information. He knew it would take time.
After a while, Wang Xiaotian asked, "Jedi Walkers, how many are there?"
Bai Mengtang said: "At present, there are twenty-three. Well, not all Innate Mystery Veiners can become Jedi Walkers. The number of innate Xuan Veins is much larger than that. ”
Wang Xiaotian said: "Then, how many innate Xuanmai people are here?"
Bai Mengtang thought for a while and said, "More than fifty." ”
"How do I become a Jedi?"
Bai Mengtang said: "First of all, there must be a guide. Under the guidance of the leader, pass a series of tests. Secondly, be willing to work for the organization and contribute to the development of the organization. Third, keep the secrets of the organization, and at no time can the secrets of the organization be divulged. ”
Wang Xiaotian asked, "If I am willing to become a Jedi Walker, who will be my guide?"
Ye Zhanjian smiled reservedly and said, "It's just not talented." ”
Wang Xiaotian was not surprised, he frowned and thought for a moment, looked at Ye Zhanjian and said, "From the beginning, in fact, you were lying to us, right? You are not the worship of the Ye family at all, nor is it the girl of Zhiqiu, please come and help us, right?"
Ye Jianjian took a small sip of brandy, tasted it, swallowed it slowly, and said: "I am indeed the worship of the Ye family, and I have indeed seen Miss Zhiqiu, and it is indeed her, please help you." These are true, and I don't need to lie to you. ”
Wang Xiaotian didn't believe it, "However, how do you know that I am an innate Xuan Vein? How do you know my movements? How can you meet me outside Xijing City? All this is too coincidental to be true. ”
Bai Mengtang nodded and said, "There won't be so many coincidences in the world. Did you just see a room full of filing cabinets?"
Wang Xiaotian nodded.
Bai Mengtang continued: "There is a store there, the information of all the people who are suspected of being congenital Xuanmai that we have collected for more than two hundred years. In fact, as early as four years ago, we had already collected your information, but at that time, people did not get together and could not contact you in time. You disappear again for a while in between. Knowing that you appeared again, the sword hurried over, so there was a seemingly coincidence in the following series. ”
Wang Xiaotian was a little incredulous, "All the suspects?"
Bai Mengtang nodded affirmatively, "All of them." ”
Wang Xiaotian was puzzled, "How did you collect the information of so many people?"
Bai Mengtang smiled and said, "Secret." Only if you become a true Jedi walker will you be qualified to know these secrets. ”
Wang Xiaotian didn't dwell on this issue, and asked Ye Zhanjian: "If you become my guide, then how should I address you?
Ye Zhanjian shook his head slightly, "No." We are brothers. Those who are born with the Xuan Xuan are only brothers and sisters, and there is no difference in generation. ”
Wang Xiaotian was confused.
Seeing this, Bai Mengtang explained: "Just like the analogy I just made, the innate Xuanmai people are all hatched from artificial eggshells, so there is only a difference in the order of birth, and there is no difference in generation. So, we are all brothers. ”
Is the egg hatching? It sounds so uncomfortable. Wang Xiaotian secretly slandered.
After a while, he asked, "What about the other Jedi Walkers, will they come here?"
Bai Mengtang shook his head and said, "No." This is just my personal studio. However, because of this little bar for relaxation and entertainment, sometimes, they also come here to sit, drink and chat. ”
"Are there any levels of Jedi walkers, like, to whom do they have to obey?"
