Chapter 62 In the Beginning of Antiquity, Who Preached the Word?
Bai Ya had fallen into a deep sleep again, but the emotions stirred in Meng Zhou's heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
"What you want it to be, it's what it is." Bai Ya said.
"What do you mean?" Meng Zhou was puzzled.
"Mother-in-law said that a long, long time ago, there was neither a systematic and rigorous cultivation method such as practicing qi to build a foundation and a knot in this world, nor was there a clearly subdivided profession such as an alchemist, a refiner, a formation mage, and a talisman maker.
These are the results of the continuous collation and improvement of later generations. ”
The name knotter was forcibly installed by later generations after the professional system became more and more perfect.
In ancient times, when almost everyone was a knotster, there was no such thing. ”
"Everybody's a knotter?" Meng Zhou exclaimed.
"Yes, uncle, do you think the knotter is mysterious?
If you really want to say it, you can understand that knotting is a profession that uses rope as a tool and uses knotting techniques to achieve various purposes.
Everyone can touch rope, tie the simplest knot, or tie and wrap, or use it to weave various living utensils, including embroidery and weaving, these are all knotted with rope, and they can naturally be regarded as knotsters. ”
"Of course, this is just the most common field, but there are people who do a lot of incredible things with it.
In the days when there was no pen and paper, some people knotted ropes to record ancient history through ropes.
Someone can communicate with the ancient world through the rope, read the history.
Some people use it as a tool to connect the nature of heaven and earth, and use it to copy and engrave all things in heaven and earth.
Some people use it to predict good fortune and evil, and predict the rise and fall of prosperity and decline......"
"However, these fabulous abilities are too far from the average knotter.
However, my mother-in-law said that as long as you can master the knotting technique, the ability of many existing professions can be realized through the knotting method.
For example, the best rattan armor braided by her mother-in-law has no worse defensive effect than a first-order mid-grade defensive magic weapon.
She can also use the knotted rope method to perfectly reproduce the effect of some first-order low-grade talismans.
She also said that just because she was not talented, otherwise, it would be the formation path and the Dan path, and she could reproduce it with the method of knotting the rope. ”
If the knotter is so awesome, how can the predecessors divide more and more professions and not stumble on the road of knotster?
The answer is also very simple.
The path of the knotster, precisely because it is too broad and undirected, is difficult to pass on, and progress depends entirely on epiphany.
Those legendary awesome characters are demons who are difficult to produce another one for decades and hundreds of years, and there is no normal person.
Behind them becoming legends and myths, countless beings have become foils, and the whole world is barren.
The professional system is becoming more and more rich and complex, and its greatest significance is that the inheritance is becoming easier and easier, and more and more latecomers can embark on the road to heaven and see the scenery that once only belonged to the demons of the world and the peerless Tianjiao.
If you look at it from this point of view, the knotter does seem to be behind the times and out of date.
However, this is not a problem of the knotter himself.
If you really want to talk about problems, the biggest problem is that there are too few demons in the world.
Meng Zhou is very confident that knotting is the most suitable profession for his long-term cultivation.
According to his understanding, the knotter is like a programmer, and the knotting method is like a special programming language.
Those with poor levels may only be able to spin around by the door for the rest of their lives, but in the hands of geniuses, they are the tools of the creator god to edit the world, and they can create a new world with it.
Of course, he is not a heavenly arrogant demon, and he still has this self-knowledge.
But—
"I've got a plug-in."
I don't know why, after listening to Bai Ya's story, Meng Zhou not only became more interested in the profession of knotster, but also had a strong interest in all aspects of what she said about "a long, long time ago".
In his heart, he remembered an ancient poem for no reason.
"In the beginning of antiquity, who preached?"
"The top and bottom are not formed, why should they be examined?
Who can do it?
Feng Yi is only like an image, how can he know it?
It's clear that it's too late, but what is the time?
The triad of yin and yang, what is the origin and what is the transformation?
……”
Meng Zhou seemed to see a group of wise men, who were born in the most barren and barren ancient times, but their profound wisdom penetrated time and space, looked at the origin of the Great Dao, and asked one question after another.
They were dressed simply, perhaps even with broken hair and tattoos, covered only in animal skins, up and down, without two decent tools.
Perhaps, the only tools are a stone hammer and an axe, and a hemp rope hanging from his waist.
This is the only tool they have to open up the mountains and understand the world.
This tool is the bridge between them and the world.
……
According to what Bai Ya said before she fell asleep, unlike the complex inheritance system of other professionals, the inheritance of the knotting master is so simple that it is outrageous.
There is nothing but knotting.
This is the only help that the knotter can get from his predecessors, and everything that follows is all up to the individual.
As for whether one law plays ten thousand laws, or whether you can't hold back one fart, it varies from person to person.
Meng Zhou untied the sleeping rope spirit Bai Ya from his wrist, flipped his ten fingers and began to tie the knot from the first knot method in the hundred knots.
Time passed slowly, and a hundred knots reappeared in his hands one by one, and when the hundredth knot method was born in his hands, the personal information changed as he expected.
Knot 100 XP +1.
[The beginning of the 100 methods of knotting: 1/200]
Meng Zhou looked at the time and thought in his heart.
"After the initial formation, you need to reproduce the hundred knots one by one in order to gain +1 experience."
"Even if my attention is focused enough to complete the 100 knots, it will take about three hours, and the average knot method is nearly two minutes."
"On the premise of ensuring that I don't delay my practice, I can devote up to half of my time in this area every day, +4 experience per day."
"But this obviously doesn't work, and the knotsters, while promising, are of very limited help to me at the moment.
It is necessary not only to seek the long-term, but also to look down at the feet, or to allocate some time to other areas.
Dedicate a quarter of your time to this every day, and +2 experience per day is appropriate. ”
"With the development of a number of martial arts, my hands and fingers have become very flexible.
The reason why each knot method takes two minutes is because my grasp of the 100 knotting methods is still relatively shallow, and I need to constantly read and compare my memory.
If you can carve each knot into your instinct little by little, you don't need to think about it at all, and you know how to do it with the ten fingers of both hands, then the leveling efficiency will inevitably have a qualitative improvement. ”
……
It is clear that the time allocated to the cultivation of the Hundred Methods of Knot every day, and if the rest of the spare time is devoted to the cultivation of the Ice Talisman and the Imperial Sword Technique, it will not be long before these two skills can be cultivated to perfection.
Meng Zhou was thinking about what he should cultivate after these two skills were completed.
"Take some more talismans?"
As soon as this thought came to mind, Meng Zhou shook his head no.
An important reason for choosing the talisman was to decipher the rubbing stone carvings.
This historic mission has now been accomplished.
In addition, talisman making also brought him a lot of spirit stone income, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in the Warm Cloud Valley.
But now, the amount of spirit stones he had saved in his hands was already quite considerable, and the balance from the sale of talismans and other loot plus an astonishing amount of consultation money, Meng Zhou counted it carefully, and counted a small part of the medium-grade spirit stones, and the total value of his wealth was 7,545 low-grade spirit stones.
This kind of net worth is beyond the reach of most people in the later stage of Qi training.
In other words, such a net worth already has a bit of a mismatch with his strength, and it is harmful to continue to accumulate more spirit stones.
Moreover, he still has a large number of high-quality talisman ballasts in his hands.
is still a pharmacist whose strength has reached the apex of the first order.
All things considered, the new academic system is not a good choice.
"Then let's continue to improve our combat effectiveness."
Although his current combat effectiveness is not low, the room for improvement is still very huge.
The means of protecting the path are different from the spirit stones, and he can't have too much.
After determining the general direction, he gradually had two choices in his mind.
The first is to choose a few spells to enrich the combat system.
The other is the method of martial arts body horizontal training that was harvested from Yan Xiong, which more thoroughly developed the martial arts knowledge above the grandmaster, further amplified its own advantages, and formed a dislocation advantage with other qi cultivators.
Just when he was weighing these two directions in his heart, Yan Xiong finally stabilized his state and brought Miao Lin, who was a bird, to visit.
