Chapter 54: Perspectives
Lu Wuyin knew what he meant when she saw him so enthusiastic, and she also wanted to hear the origin of the Dry Bone Array, so she said, "What benefits do you want?"
The man rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Daoist friends are quick to talk, then I will say it directly." With just one high-grade spirit stone, I told the two of you about the progress of the Dry Bone Array in recent decades. ”
Lu Wuyin changed color and said, "You really dare to open your mouth!" After that, he said to Qianxue: "Let's go, I don't believe that no one else knows." ”
The man hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Fifty medium-grade spirit stones are all over, right?"
Lu Wuyin didn't seem to hear it, he didn't look back, and walked straight forward. The man was anxious and said, "Grandma, you should give a price!"
Only then did Lu Wuyin stop and turned around, "Ten medium-grade spirit stones." ”
That person was afraid that Lu Wuyin would regret it, so he hurriedly agreed. They led the two to the side of a stall with a stone table and a few stone chairs.
The three of them sat down, and the man said, "My surname is Zhang Mingfeng, I don't know the surnames of the two Taoist friends?"
Lu Wuyin said: "My surname is Lu, and her surname is Qian." ”
After the three of them saw the ceremony, Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, and then told the whole story.
It turned out that the Dry Bone Array had been unsolved for a hundred years, and in order to win the honor of cracking the Dry Bone Array for the first time, the array mages rushed to step into the Dry Bone Array, and all of them turned into white bones and buried themselves at the bottom of the well.
It wasn't until ten years ago, under the guidance of a respected array mage, that many array mages finally pressed their restless hearts and began to cooperate in the study of the Dry Bone Array.
Together, they soon discovered a detail that they had been ignoring all along, that is, the veins of the Dry Bone Array that each Formation Mage saw were actually different!
This discovery completely upended their view of the world, and they had to come up with a plausible explanation for this discovery:
The first view is that there is a god who likes to play tricks on people hidden under the dry well, and whenever someone detects the veins of the dry bone array, he uses his divine power to change the vein of the formation.
As soon as this idea was put forward, it was criticized as incomplete, and they would not admit that there were gods, and they believed that even if there were gods, there would not be any gods who were really so idle and played a boring game with them for more than a hundred years.
The second view is that the Dry Bone Formation does not actually exist. Perhaps there is a special substance in the dry well, and once the monk perceives the dry well, the substance will emit a strange aura, causing the perceiving monk to fall into an illusion, thinking that the dry bone array exists.
This would explain why everyone sees the Dry Bone Formation differently, because there is no Dry Bone Formation at all.
Some monks questioned this view is really fantastical, if the Dry Bone Array really doesn't exist, then why would the array mages turn into dry bones inside?
The monk who put forward this view believed that the formation mage who entered the dry well did not actually turn into dry bones, and everything was still an illusion. As for why they didn't come out, it was probably because they found something more interesting inside, so they delayed.
What can be delayed for decades? The others scoffed and suggested that he go down and do the experiments himself, and there was no danger anyway, was there?
Convinced of his point of view, the man resolutely stepped into the Dry Bone Formation, only to never return, unable to verify whether his point of view was correct.
The third view is that the Dry Bone Formation is not actually static, but in a state of flux, changing from moment to moment, so everyone sees a different context.
Some people also question: First, the vein is the principle and cannot be changed, just like if you throw a stone in the air, it will definitely fall down and will never rise and fall;
Those who hold the third view explain this as follows: the context is true, but when they say the flow of the principle, they do not mean that the principle changes, but that the adaptation environment of the principle is always changing, so it is not the principle itself that changes, but the environment.
Just like a river, the water flows from upstream to downstream, sometimes turbulent and sometimes gentle, the water itself does not change, but the topography changes.
As for why the same person perceives the same context at different times, it is because the adaptation environment of the principle is related to the five elements, and if you perceive the same five elements, you will get the same result.
In this regard, some people questioned, since the same monk perceived the same result, why could he still not crack the formation? Doesn't this just mean that there must be unknown changes in the dry bone formation?
As to whether the Dry Bone Array was static, fluid, or both, many array mages brainstormed, but there was never a unified answer.
Zhang Feng said this and asked, "What do the two Daoists think?"
Qian Xue was silent in thought, and Lu Wuyin said, "In my opinion, the Dry Bone Array itself is static. Different people see different threads because their hearts are flowing. ”
"You mean that the Dry Bone Array itself is still and changes shape in response to the monk's perception?"
"Yes, it's like a lump of mud, which itself doesn't move, and different people pinch it to form different shapes. ”
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Your conjecture is also a bit interesting, but how do you explain that once the monk walks into the dry well, he will instantly turn into white bones?"
Lu Wuyin said: "I'll talk about it when I see the real dry bone array." What else do you have to say?"
Zhang Feng sighed: "That's all for now, the mystery of the Dry Bone Array seems to be difficult to figure out. ”
After that, he pointed not far away and said, "See, that is the world-famous dry well." ”
Qianxue Lu Wuyin and the two looked over, only to see that the dry well fruit was like a rumor, one zhang wide. It's just that there are only a few people near the dry well, which is a bit different from their imagination.
Xu is seeing the confusion between the two of them, Zhang Feng sighed: "In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer formation mages studying the Dry Bone Array, and no matter how conceited and talented monks are, they don't want to spend a lot of energy in vain. What's more, there have been fewer and fewer monks learning the formation over the years. ”
When Qianxue and Lu Wuyin saw the dry well, especially Qianxue, their hearts had already flown away, how could they still want to hear his emotion, so they got up and walked towards the dry well.
Zhang Feng shouted behind him: "Two Taoist friends are cautious, don't easily walk into the dry well." ”
The two of them approached the dry well and looked inside, their expressions unpredictable.
Lu Wuyin's heart was extremely strange, this formation is very simple, the monks who are new to the formation must be able to break it easily, why is it that no one has been able to solve it for more than a hundred years? Could it be that the people who come here to study the formation are idiots?
Thinking like this, my feet involuntarily stepped on the edge of the dry well.
Qian Xue saw her on the side, hurriedly grabbed her with one hand, and said, "Wuyin, what are you doing?"
Lu Wuyin came back to his senses at this time, felt ashamed, and said, "Qianxue, what do you think of this formation?"
