Meng Zhou's fingers slid over the knots, and through the ups and downs of his spirituality, Meng Zhou really felt the ups and downs of his thoughts in that period of time that he couldn't recall.

He also suddenly realized that he was not really unable to think about it at that time.

It's just that the changes in those thoughts are too abstract and obscure to be expressed in any language.

His so-called reminiscence is not to restore the situation at that time, but to be an information image that has been concretely processed by language and words.

Once the image of the message exceeds the limits of what can be expressed in words, he will not be able to "remember" it.

How similar this is to a human dream.

In the dream, all kinds of real and unforgettable feelings, but when I woke up from the dream, I immediately went to reminisce and retrace, but found that the more I recalled, the faster those traces disappeared.

In the end, at most, there can be a vague and general feeling, and more often, it is empty, and you can't remember anything.

Is that really forgotten?

It's just that the words are running out of words, beyond the cognitive foundation constructed by language and writing, and they can't be expressed.

"The world as we know it, everything and everything, is formed by definitions and concepts composed of definite language and words.

This is the basis for our knowledge and understanding of all things.

Not only to know the world, but also to look at oneself inwardly, to recognize and understand, can not get rid of the shackles of conceptual definitions, because this is the foundation.

Without this foundation, the world becomes incomprehensible and strange. ”

"And the real activity of thinking, like the ups and downs of flowing water, like the gathering and scattering of smoke clouds, is both silky and fluid, and uncertain.

No matter how accurate the definition of the concept is, no matter how subtle the language is, there are blind spots that cannot be touched.

When we are accustomed to this deductive world composed of language, words, and conceptual definitions, this 'blind spot' becomes beyond our cognition. ”

"The limit of language is the limit of cognition."

"Anything that cannot be expressed in words cannot be understood."

What surprised and novelized Meng Zhou was that the method of knotting provided a new way of thinking.

In these knots in his hands, there is no language, no words, only the gathering and dispersion of spirituality.

When he touches his fingers and imprints these spiritual changes into his heart, he does not need to translate them into words to understand, but can directly feel the flow of information contained in them.

It embodies subtle thoughts that are difficult to express in words.

If that's all there is, it doesn't seem like it's worth the fuss.

Because there are many other ways to do so, which can have a similar effect.

For example, painting, such as music, such as some grotesque performance art.

In the same way, there is a very high threshold for deciphering the hidden passwords.

What really amazed Meng Zhou was that in this way, everything from heaven and earth to fine particles and dust, as visible as the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and subtle as people's thoughts, were all united by a rope, and all of them were related to practice.

Perhaps, the method of knotting cannot exhaust all expressions, and there is still a limit, but this ability to unify and transform all the complex into one system is really ......

"Great!"

Meng Zhou couldn't help but admire in his heart.

This is similar to the concept of "everything is numbered" and "everything is wave".

"Everything can be knotted."

The more he pondered, the more Meng Zhou realized the great value of this method.

Thinking in his heart, Meng Zhou took the rope spirit and shook it slightly, shaking off all the existing knots.

Try to recreate the feeling you just felt.

At first, it was still a little difficult, but soon, Meng Zhou, who had mastered the knot method and had already integrated it into his instincts, found that feeling.

His brain is in a semi-empty state, and he does not consciously control his hands, just like when a person is walking, when he encounters a turn, he will not consciously tell his body that "it's time to turn", but the body will automatically complete the most suitable turning operation.

At this moment, the same is true of the knotted rope in his hands.

After eliminating the interference caused by his subjective consciousness, his hands and the rope seem to form an external auxiliary brain, and some thoughts in his subconscious are manifested through the knots, and the knots are born naturally and smoothly in his hands.

It's like a special output device, full of wonderful rhythms.

When Meng Zhou's consciousness came to his senses again and experienced that wonderful state, he also found that a new skill appeared again in the skill column.

【Introduction to Vientiane Knot Method 20/1000】

Seeing this brand-new "Vientiane Knot Method", Meng Zhou had a lot of associations in his heart.

Based on his previous experience, if it is a new skill, it will not show its name when it is included in the information list, but only a string of question marks.

It wasn't until he, the creator, finished naming that the question mark disappeared and became the naming done by him.

Therefore, now without his name, the name of "Vientiane Knot Method" directly pops up, which can only show one thing, that is, although his mastery of this method completely depends on his own comprehension, this is not his first creation.

Prior to this, such methods already existed in the cultivation world.

Meng Zhou thought of some of the legends about the knotting master that Yaya had revealed.

It is said that there are knotsters who can "read history".

Before, Meng Zhou didn't understand the principle behind it, but now, he already understood.

Mastering the "Vientiane Knot Method" is a necessary premise!

Then, another thought rose in Meng Zhou's heart.

"No wonder, no wonder there is only one knot knot in the knotting master inheritance, and there is nothing behind."

The high threshold, difficult to learn and difficult to master is of course one reason, but the more important reason is that this "Vientiane Knot Method" really cannot be taught, cannot be taught, and can only be understood by the knotting master himself.

Even a more specific hint is likely to become a new obstacle and make it more difficult to comprehend.

It's like a cloud of smoke, real and unmistakable.

But any attempt to describe it is like grasping it with your hands, and not only will you not be able to grasp it, but it will destroy its original appearance.

……

From this day on, Meng Zhou began to focus on the cultivation of the "Vientiane Knot Method".

After comprehending the mystery of the Vientiane Knot Method, cultivation and upgrading became a simple matter.

There is no definite method, no definite form, whatever you want, you just need to weave everything in the world into a knot.

After only one day of cultivation, Meng Zhou found that this skill was more difficult to practice than he imagined.

Cultivating this method does not consume mana, qi and blood, or divine souls, but it only consumes great mental power.

It is precisely for this reason that Meng Zhou will only spend nearly half a day every day cultivating the "Vientiane Knot Method" and gaining 1,000 points of experience.

The rest of the time was spent elsewhere by him.

If he is willing to spend all his time on this, whenever his mental strength is exhausted, he will sleep deeply, and cooperate with the thunder sound of the hundred tricks to accelerate the recovery of his mental strength, which can increase his daily experience to more than 2,000 points.

But in this way, he really has no time to be distracted at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Meng Zhou rejected this choice in his heart.

It is precisely for this reason that Meng Zhou, who had already comprehended this skill on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, was still at the master level when the Vientiane knot method was over.

"Vientiane Knot Master 8000/16000"

On the contrary, the two spells that I found in the last black market, "Light Technique" and "Black Barrier Technique", successfully started in my spare time.

After that, in his spare time, he focused on the cultivation of the Guangyao Technique, and took one step ahead of the Vientiane Formation Method, completed the accumulation of the master level, and advanced to the grandmaster level.

"Radiance Grandmaster 11000/24000"

……

The fifth day of June.

Late at night.

When Meng Zhou's consciousness returned and his cultivation ended, the three-pole circulation of essence, qi and spirit in his body also slowed down.

It is evident that the three-pole cycle has become more silky and smooth.

This is because, in this retreat, the Xuangui Negative Monument True Gong successfully completed the accumulation of the Grandmaster level and advanced to perfection again.

The body refining achievement that had already reached the second-order limit had been improved to a certain extent.

The limit range of the Qi and Blood Realm has also been raised to within a radius of ten miles.

The strength of all aspects has improved to varying degrees with the true consummation of the second-order refining body.

Perhaps, because he had not experienced the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, there was still some gap between him and the real Third Order, but Meng Zhou believed that with the comprehensiveness of his own essence, qi and spirit, which had been developed to the limit, he would not be too inferior to the early stage cultivators of the Jiedan.

With the cultivation of the Xuangui Negative Monument True Skill, a body refining method to the second-order consummation, Meng Zhou once again gained a strange innate ability.

The innate ability of this freshman shows another string of question marks, indicating that the same innate ability has not appeared in the cultivation world before this.

This is a rare passive talent.

Once he encounters danger, whether it is a spell strike, a physical strike, or a divine soul strike, from his qi and blood body, a giant monument phantom will be automatically triggered, suppressing and guarding him in the phantom.

This giant monument is illusory, and it has extremely strong defense.

The ability to defend against spells and physical attacks is very strong, and the ability to defend against divine soul attacks cannot be compared with the first two, but the effect is no worse than ordinary soul protection techniques.

"With this talent, my path to seeking the Tao will become smoother."

Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Zhou named this talent "Guardian Monument".

In addition, because the refining of the body is complete, it has reached exactly the same height as the refining of qi and soul refining, the three-pole cycle of essence, qi and spirit has become smoother, and the efficiency of cultivation has been improved to a certain extent.

Instead of increasing progress by 40 per retreat, to increasing progress by 45.

Although the improvement is not large, it is still a cause for joy.

[Repair progress +45, foundation 9th floor 310/1000]

After leaving the customs, Meng Zhou practiced the Vientiane Knot Method as usual, and after gaining a thousand points of experience, Meng Zhou temporarily stopped.

At this moment, the time was also in the morning, and it was close to noon, and Meng Zhou, who had exhausted a lot of energy, made himself a pot of spiritual tea and rested in the elegant house.

At this moment, Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he raised his head to look at the sky in the distance.

Not long after Zhicheng knew that his talent reminded him, several figures flew in the direction he was looking at.

When they crossed the boundary monument of Zhuang Tianzhuang, these people did not stop, but a figure accelerated towards the direction of the courtyard.

This is none other than Kan Yue.

Meng Zhou thought about it, and did not open the formation to let him in, but took the initiative to welcome him out.

When he came to Kan Yue's side, Meng Zhou just nodded to him and looked at a few other people in the distance.

Those few people did not continue to approach Meng Zhou, except for one of them who curiously glanced at the three of them, the others didn't even look here, treating him, the master, as if he didn't exist, and scattered into the sky above the ten thousand acres of spiritual fields, and circled around the ten thousand acres of spiritual fields.

Meng Zhou did not have any negative emotions about this, but said to Kan Yue:

"You're so fast, I thought we'd have to wait at least next month."

Kan Yue smiled: "Originally, it was true that we had to wait for a while, but isn't it that Qingxuanzong has become impatient and began to urge."

The City Lord's Mansion didn't dare to continue the stalemate, and took the initiative to give in. ”

Meng Zhou was curious: "They accepted it?" ”

Kan Yue bowed his head and said, "Accepted." ”

Meng Zhou nodded.

While he was concentrating on meditation, the rapid changes in Sanchuan Plateau would naturally not be ignored by Meng Zhou.

With a strong enough foundation, the three allies of the Sanchuan Society, the Blue Blood Army, and the Professionals Association resolved the opponent of the Jade Lake City Lord's Mansion at the negotiation table.

However, when it came time to make a specific distribution of benefits, the progress was stuck.

Qingxuanzong was the first to take a stand, and this time, they only provided technology.

Instead of being like Jade Lake, in addition to a full set of techniques, it is necessary to arrange for a strong person to sit in the town, and to provide many precious resources.

For this reason, Qingxuanzong, who invested in technology, only took half of the equity.

And with Qingxuanzong's statement, the three allies of the Sanchuan Society, the Blue Blood Army, and the Professionals Association immediately came up with a "cake sharing plan" that had been prepared for a long time.

Among them, the Sanchuan Association and the Professionals Association will be on par with Qingxuanzong, and each will take half of the equity.

The Blue Blood Army and the Jade Lake City Lord's Mansion each take a 10% stake.

This will go to sixty and a half, and the remaining thirty and a half will be taken out and used for other "small" forces to compete for.

This "small force" refers to those forces that have fake Dan monks in charge, but have not been stained with too much oil in this feast in Sanchuan Plateau.

If you don't give them any oil, don't think about being quiet.

The one-and-a-half strands set aside for them in advance are the "bones" that are ready to appease them.

As for the other two percent, it is to follow the practice of Jade Lake Immortal City, which is the "living water" reserved for the strong people who may rise in the future.

This plan was drawn up by the three allies of the Sanchuan Society, the Blue Blood Army, and the Professionals Association, so naturally there was no objection, but the opinion of the Jade Lake City Lord's Mansion was very large.

Their bottom-line requirements should also be on an equal footing with the Sanchuan Association and the Professionals Association.

However, since the Tripartite Alliance has launched this plan, it naturally has full considerations, and it is impossible to retreat at will because of the disapproval of the Jade Lake City Lord's Mansion.

The matter is deadlocked at this step, and according to Meng Zhou's understanding, the Quartet has been arguing for nearly two months.

However, with the urging of Qingxuanzong, it was still difficult for the Jade Lake City Lord's Mansion to support it alone, and agreed to this plan.

Moreover, according to Kan Yue's introduction, because to arrange a third-order large array covering hundreds of miles, a lot of rare resources need to be used.

Although the Sanchuan Society and the Blue Blood Army also had strong financial resources, they were limited to the level they were at before, and the third-order resources were seriously insufficient, and they simply couldn't make up so many numbers in a short period of time.

In order not to delay the deployment of the large array, they would borrow some precious materials from the Jade Lake City Lord's Mansion and the Professionals Association, which had strong financial resources, to temporarily fill in the hole and slowly repay it later.

In the distance, those people had already made a few turns on the 10,000 acres of spiritual fields.

Then, under the command of one of them, five huge deep pits were dug in the five positions below.

Before digging the pit, they also deliberately removed the surface layer of soil, along with the spirit plants growing on it.

After the deep pit was dug and a piece of spiritual energy in the shape of a stone lock was thrown into it, the soil was filled, and finally, the spiritual plant skin that had been removed as a whole was covered in its original position.

Meng Zhou could sense that those foreign bodies that had been buried in the deep pit and were full of rich spirituality were rapidly merging with the surrounding leyline aura.

With these five nodes as the core, the surrounding leyline aura is undergoing a slow and continuous transformation.

When they are fused with the leyline aura, unless this spiritual field, including its underground part, is completely scraped away, it is impossible to cause damage to it.

To destroy them is to destroy the entire Sanchuan Plateau spiritual vein.

It is impossible to do it quietly, and the difficulty is very great.

When they had done all this, they turned and fled to the Grange next door.

Kan Yue also hurriedly said goodbye to Meng Zhou, chasing after these people and leaving quickly.

……

After this incident, Meng Zhou continued to devote himself to the cultivation of the "Vientiane Knot Method" and the "Light Yao Technique".

In mid-June, the Guangyao Technique completed the accumulation of the Grandmaster level and advanced to consummation.

Because of the consummation of this spell, the "truth" that Meng Zhou could see added a new area.

The reason why he valued this spell was inspired by the unknown spirit master.

The other party used a small transfer charm in the teahouse to disappear instantly, and when it disappeared, a strong light came from the room, which instantly cleaned up the strange aura in the room.

Meng Zhou didn't know what kind of spell the strong light he cast at that time, and he didn't find the answer from his storage collection.

But this "Light Technique", which was carefully selected from the black market, has the same ability.

And this ability is only part of the effect.

The real effect of this spell is "blinding" and "destroying evil".

"Blindness" is not only blindness of the naked eye, but also the kind of blindness that can be "blinded" at the same time as the senses of the senses.

And for a monk like the Sect of Hatred, the "evil spirit-breaking" ability of the Light Dawn Technique is much more lethal than other powerful attack spells.

Cleaning up the strange aura in the area where the light shines can only be regarded as an incidental effect of this spell.

After the completion of the Light Technique, Meng Zhou immediately began to cultivate the Black Barrier Technique.

By the end of June, when Meng Zhou suspended all his cultivation and entered the ashram to begin his routine retreat, this Black Barrier Technique had also completed all the accumulation from the entry level to the master level, and he had advanced to the Grandmaster level.

"Black Barrier Master 1000/24000"

At the same time, the Vientiane Knot Method has also completed the accumulation of the master level and advanced to the grandmaster level.

"Vientiane Knot Master 17000/32000"

……

July 20, noon.

The Black Barrier Technique completes the accumulation of the Grandmaster level and advances to perfection.

Contrary to the Light Illusion, the Black Barrier brings darkness to the enemy.

Not only can you not see with both eyes, but even your divine sense will temporarily fail, and you will become blind in an instant.

Although the source is diametrically opposed, the effect is very similar to that of the light arts.

One is blind to the light, and the other is blind.

Let the enemy temporarily lose the perception of the outside world, and if the difference in strength is large, it can even bring permanent trauma to the enemy.

……

And on the same day, late at night.

The Vientiane Knot Method has also completed the accumulation of the grandmaster level and advanced to consummation.

Vientiane knot method starts from the beginning, every time the level is improved, in addition to being more proficient and efficient, the biggest change is that Meng Zhou can be more casual and free to incorporate all things into a knot.

When he cultivated the Vientiane Knot Method to perfection, Meng Zhou felt that his hands and a rope in his hands had completely become a brain that could operate independently.

Completely undisturbed by his subjective consciousness.

As long as he can think of anything, no matter what he wants, he doesn't need to deliberately design them, they can be naturally presented in the form of knots.

Even he didn't expect that whether it was wandering or all kinds of whimsical divergent thoughts, they could all be clearly recorded in the form of knots on a string of ropes.

With this ability, he will never appear again" suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and he thought of a brilliant idea, but when he traced his memories again, he could no longer find the feeling at that time. ”

As long as he wants, he can always reproduce the fleeting inspiration through knots.

And with the completion of the Vientiane Knot Method, the knotter who has reached the "2nd Order 990/1000" will increase his progress by 10 points, taking the last step forward and reaching the 2nd Order limit.

Since then, after more than half a year of hard work, the three professions of knot master, spirit master, and medicine spirit master have all been cultivated by Meng Zhou to the limit of the second order.

……

Although the knotting master had reached the second-order limit with the consummation of the skill of the Vientiane Knot Method, Meng Zhou felt that he was still unsatisfied.

It's like just finishing a warm-up, and suddenly being reminded that you have reached the finish line.

But he had no intention of stopping.

The Vientiane Knot Method, which had just been cultivated to perfection by him, was like an incomparably sharp sword.

Now, he got the equivalent of such a sword.

But with a sharp weapon in hand, how could he be satisfied with just getting it?

If you can't do something with this weapon, what's the difference between a sword and a burning stick?

Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Zhou began to think about where this "first sword" would be most appropriate.

It didn't take long for Meng Zhou to have a general idea in his heart.

His gaze fell on the three soul techniques of Qi Vision, Returning Circle Light, and Sincere Heart.

And as Meng Zhou pondered, all kinds of information about these three consummation skills were presented in the form of knots.

Meng Zhou's fingers slid back and forth on these knots, and through such knots, Meng Zhou found that all the variations and details of this skill were presented in a clear, accurate, and intuitive form.

Of course, this "intuition" is for him, a knotster who has mastered the Vientiane knot.

For other practitioners, they can only be confused when faced with such a string of knots.

"There are many differences between these three skills, and it is these differences that create their very different characteristics.

One goes back to the past, one vaguely predicts the future, and the other accurately presents the present. ”

"Still, there's a lot in common."

According to his own understanding, Meng Zhou divided these commonalities into three parts.

"Capture", "Analyze", "Deduce";

They are equivalent to the processing chips of the three skills, because the needs of the skills are different, and their emphasis on these four points is also different.

Wangqi is more focused on the "capture" and "analysis" of current information.

On the other hand, the retrospective round light and sincerity are on top of the "capture" and "analysis" of the current information, and the "interpretation" is accentuated.

With Meng Zhou's examination and analysis, he untied all the knots that were very different, and only the knots related to "capture", "analysis" and "deduction" were retained.

In an instant, the knot information, which had originally recorded the three consummation skills, suddenly became unrecognizable.

At this point, things suddenly became interesting, and it got to the part that interested him the most.

Meng Zhou's mathematics is not good, and his understanding of many concepts is chaotic.

But when he was very young, he had just learned a mathematical tool called "prime factorization", and one of his favorite games was to make up a large number by himself and then break it down over and over again.

At this moment, the knots presented in his eyes have become another form of "big number"—the kind that can be broken down.

Meng Zhou kept only one of the knots with the exact same nature, and deleted all the others;

Those who had great similarities, Meng Zhou merged them into a new knot that could represent all of them......

In this way, after continuous streamlining and refining, Meng Zhou compressed them to the limit.

Similarly, under his operation, the "severed limbs" that were originally intercepted from the three skill "bodies" were smelted into a brand new thing by him.

Meng Zhou stretched out his hand to glide over these knots, feeling the spiritual changes in them and obtaining all kinds of information in them.

Soon, Meng Zhou shook his head lightly with regret in satisfaction.

"It's not enough."

Meng Zhou then set his sights on the other consummation skills.

In the same way, he also recorded other skill information on the knot through the Vientiane Knot method.

Meng Zhou found that those strong attack skills basically didn't have what he wanted.

On the contrary, it was the skills of "Clues", "Tracing the Origin", "The Wind and the Voice", "The Change", and "The Floating Light Phantom" that gave Meng Zhou a great surprise.

They provided him with a lot of "nutrients", and he drew them all out, and in the end, he got a string of complex and wonderful knots that he felt.

As his fingers slid over these knots, the spiritual gathering and dispersion of the knots naturally became a new skill in his mind.

With the advent of this skill, Meng Zhou's personal information changed dramatically.

In the skill bar, a new skill appeared, because this skill was completely made up by him, so there was no name, only a string of question marks.

None of this is special, what's really special is that this skill has a prefix.

[Third Order].

This is a third-order skill.

And as he used the knot method to create a new third-order skill, the knotting master, who had just reached the limit of the second order, took a step forward and became a third-order knotting master.

【Knotter 3rd Tier 500/10000】

Meng Zhou's attention lingered on this information for a moment, and then he returned to this brand-new third-order skill.

This third-order skill was extracted by him from a large number of second-order skills.

His abilities are very special and only show when he tries to learn or create new skills.

This skill will capture and refine the information that he has mastered, but is too complex, to more accurately capture, refine, analyze and deduce.

Let him learn more efficiently and become more efficient.

On the surface, this effect is similar to increasing understanding, but in reality, it is just a special "calculator" for him.

It eliminates a lot of meaningless and time-consuming steps.

"In that case, this skill is called Vientiane Interpretation."

As the thought in Meng Zhou's heart was confirmed, the information that was originally a question mark became clear.

【Vientiane Interpretation Introductory 0/7500】

Meng Zhou took out the jade slip of the inheritance of the spirit master.

He focused all his attention on the refining of the third-order lower grade spirit puppet.

Meng Zhou found that when his attention was focused on each of the key points, he who had cultivated the Spirit Master profession to the second-order limit level, could easily and accurately present his current grasp and depth of comprehension of the relevant points in front of him.

Then, he found that these knowledge points were not difficult for him at all.

It's all a level that only needs a little tiptoe for him now.

When Meng Zhou woke up from the state of deep study and enlightenment, he suddenly found that three days had passed.

And he was already unconsciously seventy or eighty percent sure of refining a third-order lower-grade spirit puppet.

Of course, feeling confident and actually succeeding are two different things.

But this at least shows that he has basically completed the "brain meeting" link, and then, he only needs to do "hand meeting".

That's it.

It was so simple that Meng Zhou himself couldn't believe it.

He then looked at the variation of the skill "Vientiane Interpretation", which provided him with a total of 1,500 experience points as he continued to study and use it for three days.

It looks like a lot, and there are 500 points of experience every day, but for the Vientiane deduction that requires a full 7,500 points of experience to complete the introductory accumulation, this gain seems to be a drop in the bucket.

Without the help of Vientiane's interpretation, Meng Zhou was confident that he would still be able to master the refining method of the third-order spirit puppet within two or three months, and use this to break through and become a third-order spirit master.

Because his accumulation at the level of a second-order spirit master far exceeded that of a normal second-order high-grade spirit master.

Under normal circumstances, after a professional has reached the first or second level, and is confident that he has mastered this level deep enough, he will try to learn and contact the skills of the higher level, and use this to complete the promotion of the professional level.

They don't deliberately pursue the first-order limit, or the second-order limit.

From this point of view, his accumulation has long been sufficient.

Therefore, breaking through to the next professional level is just a little difficult for him, and it is not impossible for him to do it.

But if there is no Vientiane interpretation, it is conceivable that he will spend more time and effort. (End of chapter)
