Chapter 14: The Way of Witchcraft

Logically speaking, a White Lotus monk who is proficient in the Shinto method, a person who is good at ecstasy, curses, and nightmare towns, and a controlled martial arts master, plus a few high-quality magic weapons, are enough to deal with most things.

"It's a pity that he ran into me!" Yu Chen shook his head with a smile, and put away the three magic weapons casually, as he was proficient in witchcraft and sacrifice, he could be said to have defeated these three guys from all aspects.

Although the quality of the three magic weapons is good, it is better than the fire snake dart and the yin snake chain that Yu Chen brought to the dungeon, and it is not inferior to the snake shadow banner that was left in Nanban to protect the body that may be left over there.

But Yuchen himself didn't know whether this crossing was a physical shuttle or a divine soul crossing, and he naturally paid more attention to the scriptures that could be written down than the magic weapons that he didn't know if he could bring back.

He opened the scriptures, which was the fragment of the White Lotus Sect's secret biography "White Lotus Zhengxin Elimination of Doubts and No Cultivation Freedom Treasure Scroll", and after reading it a few times, a trace of understanding flashed in Yu Chen's eyes.

"Sure enough, there's no road behind the wizard's path!"

Yu Chen put away the "White Lotus Zhengxin Treasure Scroll of Freedom without Doubt" in his hand, although he had already guessed such an ending, but when he really understood, he was still a little regretful.

Thinking about it, if there was a road behind the wizard's path, it was impossible for him not to hear the slightest news in Nanban.

In fact, Yu Chen had heard in his previous life that one of the sources of the Immortal Dao was the Witch Dao, and the Witch Dao was a part of the Shinto.

According to some research by the Inquiry Party in the game world, they believe that the game world is a dead end in the real world, or one of the precursors to Shinto.

And one of the origins of the Immortal Dao is a group of wizards who are unable to become gods and have to retreat to other methods to become immortal.

For this theory, whether it is in the past life or before today, Yuchen has always expressed some doubts, but Nanban's experience combined with the content recorded in the "Treasure Scroll of Freedom" gave Yuchen a more positive answer.

According to the records in the "Treasure Scroll of Freedom", the core of mortal practice of Shinto lies in a little divinity.

This divinity is called Daoxin Dao in the Immortal Dao, and it is called Zen Buddha Nature in Buddhism, which essentially refers to the product of its own innate spiritual light and spiritual sublimation.

It's just that compared to the Tao heart and Tao nature, the Buddha heart and Buddha nature, the divinity can be forcibly condensed and formed with the help of the wishes of sentient beings and the incense offerings.

If it is self-cultivation, it is necessary to master the corresponding Taoist principles through various ways with the Taoist nature of the Taoist mind and the Buddha's heart and Buddha nature, and the serpentine pattern formed by the comprehension Wuwen snake in Yuchen's mind is one of them, which can be regarded as the prototype of divinity.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Yu Chen integrates his soul into the Wuwen Snake, and then collects the incense wish power according to the secret techniques recorded in the "Treasure Scroll of Freedom", he can become a snake god.

Moreover, the record in the "Treasure Scroll of Freedom" also completes the last piece of the puzzle that Yu Chen is missing for the deduction of the witchcraft.

The information deduced by the Golden Finger System in the past ten years was connected together in such an instant, and it was also rapidly derived downward, allowing Yu Chen to have a closer understanding of the essence of the Witch Dao.

In ancient times, the writing of witch characters was formed by the intersection of two "壬". In ancient times, the upper and lower horizontal of "Ren" represented heaven and earth respectively, and the middle vertical represented heaven and earth, and the whole meaning was to communicate with the gods and spirits of heaven and earth.

The word "Wu" is formed by the intersection of two "Ren" characters, which is vertical to communicate the world and horizontally.

Therefore, the meaning of witch is to communicate with people from all corners of heaven and earth.

So how does Wu communicate with the four directions of heaven and earth? In the past, Yu Chen did not have an accurate conclusion, but now he vaguely grasped the key point. The essence of the power of the witch is actually spirituality, and the witch blends with the heavens and the earth through spirituality, and blends with the gods, and even the gods in the future are also sublimation and deification of their own spirituality.

Therefore, the way of witchcraft, or the way of wizards, in the period of small witches and witches as the starting point, needs to learn witchcraft and worship totems in order to be able to condense mana, to put it bluntly, it is through witchcraft and totems, so that one's own spirituality can communicate with the outside world.

Therefore, at this stage, the monks of the wizard's way are very dependent on their own spirituality, and the mana is also very mixed, if there is no external power such as totems to forcibly integrate, it is easy to practice a spell to have a kind of mana, and the more spells you practice, the more complicated the spells you have.

Compared with small witches and witches, further wizards refer to those whose spirituality has been sublimated, can master a certain number of witches at the same time, and get a little bit of the true meaning of witchcraft, can initially unify their own legal power, and can have the ability to freely cast spells within the corresponding range.

The further great wizard is a complete spiritual sublimation, which can use a witch script as the core, so that the mana in the body forms a circulation, condensing the existence similar to the fundamental mana.

Yu Chen is between the great wizard and the wizard at this time, because he practices the "Zhengyi Three Mountains Fu Qi Technique" and condenses the fundamental mana, his realm is slightly higher than that of the wizard, but he does not take a certain witch as the core, his spirituality has not been completely sublimated, and his control of witchcraft is lower than that of the great wizard.

Similarly, if Yu Chen chooses the witch path at this time, he can enter the next stage of witch spirit in the shortest possible time.

If you want to enter this realm, according to the results of Goldfinger's more than ten years of calculations, it is nothing more than "the unity of heaven and man" or "the unity of God and man".

The key point of "the unity of heaven and man" is to take heaven and earth as a teacher, to perceive the creation of nature, and then to borrow the power of heaven and earth, and to carry the power of nature, there can be infinite power between movement and stillness, to a high degree, and even to a certain extent, you can replace the heart of heaven with your own heart, so that you can not only borrow the momentum from the sky, but also go against the sky.

In the final analysis, the fundamental purpose of "the unity of heaven and man" is to allow oneself to find, occupy, and even create the most suitable position between heaven and earth, so that he can make better use of the power of heaven and earth, which can be regarded as the foundation of the later immortal path.

The "unity of God and man" carries very obvious traces of primitive Shinto, which is to worship a certain concept, a certain totem, a certain law, and even the entire heaven and earth as a god. Then act according to a certain will in the so-called underworld, emphasizing that you are part of the gods, that you should be close to the gods, worship the gods, and finally become one with the gods.

"So, there's no road ahead of the Witch Road!" Yu Chen sighed again.

The more he thinks about it, the more he studied, the more desperate Yu Chen became for the witchcraft, practicing the way of the wizard and choosing the "unity of heaven and man", and he needed to face the pressure of the real world. Relying solely on spirituality, even if it can compete with heaven and earth for a while, and even the will of heaven and earth in the dominant area will inevitably not last long, and sooner or later it will become a part of the will of heaven and earth.

Choosing "unity of God and man" is even more unlucky, unless you are an enlightener, and you succeed at one time and occupy the corresponding concept, otherwise when you return to the gods, you need to face not a simple concept and Taoist legal principles, but a combination of concepts and Taoist legal principles, the spirituality of countless shamans, and the wishes of all beings. The best outcome is to become a slightly more important part of the collective.

As for the solution between the two, the "pioneers" in the game world have already found a solution.

The solution of the spiritual integration of heaven and earth is to merge with the leylines of the earth, incarnate the earth, and resist the power of heaven and earth with the help of one of the leylines, or the gods melt the spiritual roots, open the blessed land and cave heaven, and turn to the immortal path of the earth, independent of the heaven and earth.

Those who are in harmony with the gods can directly become first-class priests and priests; those who are rebellious can also choose to collect faith and will power to tear the authority of the gods; and those who are more rebellious can also choose a totem to directly swallow the other party and replace the other party's person.
