Chapter 210: The Stronger the Weaker, the Weaker the Stronger
Isn't it a good thing to know more?
Of course, this is a good thing, no matter when it is a good thing, for the understanding of the world, for the cognition of all things, these are extremely important things, and it is precisely because of the accumulation of knowledge and experience that people can better achieve the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, and the summary and application of the laws and rules can make people do a lot of things that they could not do.
Even Du Chengfeng himself has enjoyed the benefits of this.
Or, in fact, everyone is enjoying the benefits of this, just like in the memory fragment he just saw, the priest of Yin Ren holding a bronze sword also enjoys the convenience of "knowing a lot", that is, because he knows a lot, so he can easily cast a blade, can use those weird secret methods, and can clearly know what to do to become stronger.
But is it really a good thing to know more?
“…… Not necessarily. ”
Du Chengfeng's eyes narrowed.
Whether a thing is a good thing or not, after all, it depends on the environment, if it was the peaceful world he was in before, it would definitely be a good thing to know more - but not necessarily now, after all, there is another way of saying this world.
That is the law that the Chu people have summed up through continuous attempts.
"A strong will can change everything."
It's not the level of "I will do it unswervingly, and I can do it one day", but I can really change reality through my own will - the best example is the gray-black fire phoenix nailed to the wall not far away, and its extreme attachment to the Feather Ascending Immortal even made it get rid of the shackles of the body and become a pure consciousness aggregate. Similarly, the emperor of the Nanchen Empire also relied on this extreme hatred for the gray-black fire phoenix to become the appearance of the Phantom Sword after death, and even had the ability to harm the gray-black fire phoenix.
In the past, Du Chengfeng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, he was used to the outrageous degree of this world, but now, he suddenly realized something.
That is, there is a conflict between the so-called "firm will" and "knowing more".
If you want to know more, you will inevitably maintain a relatively humble mentality, after all, the more you know, the more you will find that you still know too little, and in the process of seeking knowledge, you have to go through many hardships and hardships in order to find the "right" thing in countless mistakes.
But this "right" is not really an "absolute".
For this point, Du Chengfeng has experienced it personally, whenever he thinks he knows enough about this world, this ghost world will always give him a little "unexpected surprise", which directly leads him to revise his cognition again and again, so as to incorporate new understanding into his experience, which does let him know a lot, and even makes his understanding of evil qi more and more profound.
But it also made him farther and farther away from the so-called "firmness".
There is no way, if you want to maintain the absorption of new knowledge, it is difficult to be completely firm, after all, everything around him is constantly changing, and he naturally has to adapt to this change in order to understand and sum up the experience - but once he is too firm, then there is no way to absorb any new knowledge, after all, he himself has the power, he can completely ignore any laws, and only rely on pure power to produce miracles.
The so-called "domineering" of the Chu people is the ultimate elaboration of this idea, and in the understanding of the Chu people, the strong man is to trample on everything in this world with his own will.
But this concept itself is a paradoxical thing.
If you want to practice domineering, you must have strength, you must become stronger, and if you want to become stronger, you need to learn various skills, you need to understand the rules of this world - and in the process of becoming stronger, the more you know, the more difficult it is to remain firm in the complicated information, which will make people farther and farther away from domineering.
"That is, the stronger the weaker, the weaker the stronger?"
Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
In any case, the thing he summed up is a bit too abstract, but it is this outrageous thing that actually exists in this hellish world.
I'm afraid that even science fiction scientists don't dare to adopt this exaggerated setting, and even fantasy has normal upgrades to climb the skill tree, and martial arts are also getting stronger and stronger the more they practice, how can there be such a two-way block?
Under this mechanism, is it really possible to become stronger?
Like, there really is.
At least the priest of Yinren, who was originally holding the bronze sword, found a solution.
The memory fragment did not stop there, but continued to continue, under Du Chengfeng's observation, the Yin priest actually chose to lead the team to continue to destroy the city - just like when he first broke through the enemy's city, everywhere he went, this Yin priest did not leave any living mouth, he would use his terrifying power to crush all the creatures in his sight.
And in this process, the priest of the Yin people is indeed getting stronger.
When the third city was killed, one of the five warriors could only choose to watch, and when it came to the fourth city, the Yin warriors who could only choose to watch became two people, the fifth, the sixth, and by the eighth in the Yin priest count, this powerful priest had already flown into the air, and with just a wave of his sword, half of the city had been destroyed.
"It's ...... The power of evil spirits? ”
Du Chengfeng could vaguely perceive that this power seemed to be somewhat familiar, but after thinking about it, he always felt that there was a little deviation - just because this power was not only wrapped around the blade, but also part of the power was actually wielded by the priest of the Yin people.
After performing seven so-called "rituals", this priest of the Yin people actually obtained a power comparable to that of ghosts and gods.
And now, the eighth sacrifice has been completed.
Everything came quietly, as if nothing had happened, at least in the eyes of the few Yin warriors who were watching, this strong priest had not changed much - but Du Chengfeng, who was in the perspective of the bronze sword, could clearly feel the inexplicable power surging in the body of this Yin priest.
Obviously, he didn't feel the existence of any so-called ghosts and gods, but this Yin priest really gained strength.
"In other words, if you complete the goals you preset, you can gain power?"
Although he made a summary, Du Chengfeng still felt that something was not right, this summary was still a bit too superficial, and he had not yet touched the real core of this method.
Similarly, like Du Chengfeng, the priest of the Yin people also felt very wrong after gaining this power.
"Not enough."
Obviously possessing strong strength, the Yin priest's brows wrinkled.
"Not at all."
Yes, it's not enough at all, although this powerful power can destroy half of the city with one blow, which is enough to be comparable to the ghosts and gods, but it is only to the point of being comparable to the ghosts and gods - the Yin priest still hasn't been omnipotent like the real ghosts and gods after all, and he is still trapped in this physical mortal womb after all.
"Is it because I don't believe enough?"
The priest of the Yin people clenched the blade in his hand.
Not convinced enough?
Du Chengfeng suddenly realized the problem.
Yes, he should have thought that whether it was a predetermined goal or these so-called rituals, it was not so much about fulfilling some kind of sacrifice as it was about making himself believe in these ways, believing that he could gain power in this way.
"How can you do that?"
Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded, he never thought that the stronger and weaker it is, the weaker and stronger it is, someone can really find a solution.
And this plan seems to be full of feasibility.
After all, the other four Yin warriors had really become stronger, and although they had only experienced part of the ritual, they really had strong strength, and they had become far more powerful than when they had just set off.
The only one who failed to meet his expectations was the priest of Yinren, who did all this.
The priest who personally ran this series of sacrifices knew all this too well, and it was precisely because of this that some doubts arose in the heart of the priest.
It was precisely this slight doubt that caused the effect of the ritual to be greatly reduced on him.
This also made the priest more and more depressed.
When the war was over, the warriors naturally returned to the city, and the rest of the warriors were celebrating, but the priest chose to drink - although it may seem like drinking to drown his sorrows, in reality it is not the same thing at all. Just because in the context of the Yin people, wine is the essence of grains and a treasure that can communicate with ghosts and gods.
As for the way of communication, it is natural to drink.
The more you drink, the more you become religious, and the more you get drunk, the more you can communicate with the ghosts and gods in the underworld.
In this way, the strong priest scalded the wine with a bronze wine utensil, and then filtered out the impurities, leaving only the pure liquor, and then cup after cup, and soon he was drunk.
"In other words, through alcohol anesthesia, to suppress reason?"
Du Chengfeng's thinking became clearer and clearer.
No wonder the bronze knife before asked him for wine and meat as soon as he talked to him.
The effect of wine, which he had now seen, and the word meat, most likely, did not refer to the meat that was eaten, but to those living sacrifices that were used as sacrifices.
Obviously, although the phrase "a firm will can change everything" was summed up by the Chu people, but before the Chu people, not no one could realize this - unlike the relatively empty goal of "suppressing everything with hegemony" taken by the Chu people, these former Yin people not only discovered this, but also summed up a set of relatively effective promotion models.
Use "wine" and "meat" to make yourself believe, so that you can become firm, and then draw strength from this firmness.
"Amazing ......"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but admire.
This set of things was also very inspiring to him, after all, he was now plagued by the same problems - or rather, whether it was him or the nameless giant, those of them who inherited the tactics of the Chu people in the past, actually had similar troubles.
How can they become stronger when they can't find an opponent anymore, when they can't see a stronger direction?
And now, this priest of Yin has given the answer.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I can't just stop here, I can definitely go further!"
The drunken priest pointed to the moon and roared.
"I must become a ghost! I'll be able to do it! ”
“……”
Du Chengfeng listened attentively.
Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just an ordinary drunken madness, but in Du Chengfeng's eyes, this Yin priest is not just drunk - under the anesthesia of alcohol, the priest's reason was finally stripped off, and the most intense desire hidden in his heart was also revealed.
Perhaps, this is the ghost and god that Yin people want to communicate.
It is not some powerful creature high above, nor is it a hidden existence in the dark, but a ghost hidden in the heart of this priest of Yin.
The priest of the Yin people is trying to induce the ghost in his heart, let him believe, let him persevere, even if it is just blind believing.
After all, as long as you can get power, as long as you can get power, as long as the power is strong enough, everything will surrender.
“…… It seems to be right. ”
Du Chengfeng sighed.
It's really right, that is the "domineering" in the Chu mouth, this thing that makes many Chu people extremely poor all their lives, for the Yin people in the past, it can only be regarded as leftovers.
Blind belief is the need to be domineering, not blindly believing in nature is not needed, not blind, but still believing, that means that people are on the right path, how can they use domineering to suppress anything?
There is no need to suppress anything with domineering, this is the most ideal situation in the eyes of Yin people.
With this understanding of strength alone, this Yin priest has surpassed the Chu people of later generations.
"This is Yin Ren......"
The more he understands his opponent, the more Du Chengfeng can feel that strength.
Although theoretically speaking, these ancient people in the past cannot be stronger than the later people, but that is only relatively, and for these Yin people who are already top warriors, this kind of thinking is obviously not very applicable - perhaps limited by the limitations of the times, their horizons may not be broadened, and their understanding of things will not be as deep as that of later generations, but as long as they are given a little time to broaden their horizons and give them a chance to learn new things, these former powerhouses will eventually burst out again with shining brilliance.
The Yin people of the past were already very powerful, but on top of this strength, they would actually continue to evolve.
"Remarkable."
After reading the memories remaining on the bronze fragments, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh again.
"Presumably, in the end, this Yin priest should really become a ghost god."
The second update that was late was supposed to be sent in the morning, but when I took a nap in the middle of the night and was ready to eat, I read a book, and I looked at it all morning, and it was a numbness, so I couldn't help it.
