Chapter 296: Rules
So he stopped talking, frowned and continued to look at the scene over there. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
So I gradually discovered something strange.
For example, the demons didn't really hurt the woman, even though they looked evil, they just pulled the door down and then stood outside and listened to the woman curse.
Besides, the woman cried pitifully during the day, and now she screamed loudly. But there was not as much panic and fear in his voice as Li Yunxin imagined - it was more like anxiousness.
There is a threshold between the two sides. The woman is inside the door, and the demon is outside.
Li Yunxin suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at the wolf Daoist: "These demon cultivators of yours, can't they enter the house?"
There was a legend in his old world that vampires could only walk in if they were invited into their home. Otherwise, there will be a force like rules that prevent them from setting foot in the homes of strangers.
Li Yunxin didn't know if this Rongcheng had similar rules. If so, by whom?
He asked this only subconsciously. What he didn't expect was that the wolf Daoist first showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then hesitated for a moment and nodded: "...... The king knows this, too?"
He knew that there were ghosts. Li Yunxin was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a rule. He took two more steps forward in the darkness under the tree so that he could see more clearly, and said, "Who, then, will supervise?"
After a while, I heard the wolf behind me say "ah" for some reason.
Li Yunxin sighed slightly, and he didn't know if this wolf demon was stupid, or if he was used to dealing with smart people like Liu Laodao on weekdays.
Then he asked again, "I mean, like them today, or you." What if you want to break into that house on the spur of nowhere?"
He saw that the dozen or so demons in front of the woman's door were clearly gritting his teeth with hatred, and seemed to want to rush into the door immediately to do something bad, but none of them dared to move—Li Yunxin felt that they were clearly afraid of someone or something.
Could it be that there are still some powerful forces and organizations in this Rong City that are counterbalancing these demons?
But the wolf Daoist quickly gave him an answer: "Then ...... It's in its original form, huh?"
Li Yunxin was stunned, and then turned his face to look at the wolf Daoren: "What do you mean?"
The wolf demon blinked: "It's in its original form—it's ...... Ah, doesn't the king know the rules of our city?"
Li Yunxin looked at the woman's house. Seeing that they were still in a stalemate, and that the woman was still shouting, he left them alone for the time being. Instead, he walked up to the wolf man and asked seriously: "You tell me about it in detail." ”
It stands to reason that this wolf Taoist is the actual "lord of a city" in this Rongcheng, even if he is not vicious and cruel on weekdays, he should not be a kind and kind person. But now that he has met Li Yunxin, he already knows that Li Yunxin's cultivation is far above him, and he has left a "handle" by his sword. Both...... I think this guy is weird.
The wolf Taoist has been enlightened for more than 100 years, which is not particularly long among demons and monks, but it is already a long life in the human world. So he saw many people and things. Now look at this Li Yunxin-
said that he was a vicious enemy, and he didn't do anything bad after he came to this city.
He said that he was a harmless monk, but when he first met him, he saw him in the Evil King's Hollow Mountain, and he claimed that the evil king was killed by himself.
The wolf Taoist thought he was a demon at first, but later speculated that it was a personal cultivator. Because of such a hesitant mind, he did not dare to act rashly. Li Yunxin asked him many things to touch the bottom of the Sword Palace in this Rongcheng, why didn't the wolf demon touch the bottom of Li Yunxin's heart in one question and one answer?
It's just that what he touched was what Li Yunxin deliberately showed him, or whether he "mistakenly thought" it, but it's hard to say.
At this time, Li Yunxin asked him about this rule in Rongcheng - the wolf Dao people wanted to fool things, but suddenly a thought turned in his heart, and he felt that he had a good way. Therefore, after a pause, he glanced at the dozen or so demons in the deep night, and then said truthfully to Li Yunxin.
"The king doesn't know that there is a rule in our rest of the country. This rule is a long way to say—it was laid down more than a thousand years ago, when the remnant kingdom was just founded. The wolf Taoist hid in the shadow of the big tree, hiding his careful thoughts, and said to Li Yunxin in a quiet and steady tone, "It's this demon, you can't go into people's homes." For example, the dozen or so people you are looking at right now - if you really want to break in, you have to show their original form. ”
"But even if it shows its original form, it's just a demon who reveals its true body, and it still can't get in. If you insist on breaking through the door, as soon as you enter that door, the cultivation and spiritual wisdom on your body will immediately be discarded, and you will become an ordinary beast. You have to come out again to be able to regain your cultivation and sanity. That's what you're seeing today. The wolf Daoist said while looking at Li Yunxin, "This rule is the natural principle of heaven and earth in this rest of the country. As long as it is under the kingship of the rest of the kingdom, it will be effective. Alien demons also have to follow the local customs, without exception. ”
"Therefore, you see that they are making a lot of trouble, but the demons are afraid to go in. The woman didn't dare to come out. Therefore, there is also such a rule - when it gets dark at night, if a person walks on the street, is bumped into by demons, and eats it, it is not considered to have violated the law of the Sword Palace-this point is set by our palace master. ”
After the wolf Daoist said this, he looked at Li Yunxin carefully—he really wanted to judge whether this Li Yunxin was a demon cultivator or a human cultivator. If the demon cultivator knew about this kind of thing, he would have to think about it in his heart for a while, wondering if he could stay here for a long time. If human cultivation knows about this kind of thing, then they should be happy if they can't say it.
But he found that Li Yunxin didn't react - he listened to his words, and suddenly became silent, as if a huge problem appeared in his mind.
The wolf man waited for a moment—a quarter of an hour. found that Li Yunxin was still silent. Finally, I couldn't help but say, "...... What is the king thinking?"
Li Yunxin looked up at him in the dark, frowning slightly: "You call this a rule?"
The wolf Taoist was stunned, but he didn't expect him to ask about this kind of thing, so he said, "Ah...... The principles of nature, nature are the rules!"
"Haven't you thought about who made this rule?"
The wolf man was stunned again. Then he looked at Li Yunxin strangely: "Rules are rules...... Naturally, there was one day, right? Probably it was settled by heaven and earth, right?"
Li Yunxin shook his head and stopped talking.
He realized that he shouldn't talk about this with the wolf demon - it might be better to talk to Liu Laodao about it. Because this wolf demon is a typical "this era" mode of thinking - for many things, do not seek to understand.
In his time, people knew a lot of knowledge and learning. Since childhood, I have been trained to think about "why" and the more essential reasons behind the phenomenon. Because I have received a systematic and down-to-earth education, I know that the operation and development of all things in the world have their own internal original mechanism - it is not something that can be explained by a random sentence of "it should be like this".
For example, this wolf demon only knows the way of cultivation, and does not think about why beasts can produce spiritual wisdom and why they can practice—this has been the case since ancient times, and they have become accustomed to it.
This is the same way that people in the world think. I don't want to understand a lot of things, and I don't bother to think about the underlying reasons behind them - anyway, there is experience passed down from generation to generation, and it is enough to know "how to do it".
Therefore, the wolf demon feels that "rules" are "rules", and naturally there are them—even if the rules look a little strange.
However, in Li Yunxin's case, he knew that although many things in the world were different from the world he had before, the basic pattern was roughly the same.
For example, he drew a handful of salt with a talisman. Although this thing sounds strange, if you carefully study the way of Danqing and know the principle, you will realize that this process is quite perfect and reasonable. The difference from his world is only ...... Some fundamental laws have changed.
But if a monk from this world goes to his own world and sees a man who gets into the tin box, twists it, presses it, and runs away, he will feel strange when he doesn't know the reason.
Therefore, he knows that many things in this world also work according to certain laws. He knew all the laws and could explain many seemingly miraculous phenomena according to common sense. But here's the problem...... It doesn't seem to explain the matter at hand.
——In this remaining country, if a demon cultivator runs into a human house, he will become a beast without intelligence, and if he runs out again, he will become a demon cultivator?
This kind of "rule" seems too strange even in this world, and it is very much like a story made up by the foolish people in the world with their own imagination. Li Yunxin tried to explain this matter according to some of the cultivation and formation principles he knew, but in the end, he realized that he couldn't explain it at all.
This kind of rule doesn't make sense.
It's like in his original world, someone said to him, "You just have to clap your hands in this city and you can fly" - completely beyond his understanding of the rules of this world.
Li Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief and made a bold inference from his mind.
Perhaps this rule does not come from "heaven and earth", but from man.
As for who it will be......
There was a similar question that had been hidden in his mind for a long, long time - that is, the Imperial Palace and the Dragon Palace.
When he first heard about this from Liu Ling, he was very surprised. Because the matter of the Imperial Palace and the Dragon Palace is also beyond his understanding of the rules of this world. It's as if someone has embedded such a set of things into this world, which seems strange and abrupt. Of course, this kind of "weirdness and abruptness" can only be experienced by himself.
Because it's like ......
What kind of "home building" in his former world.
Li Yunxin was silent under the old tree for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He had a hypothesis in his mind, but he wasn't quite sure. There is also something in this city that "people of this age are accustomed to, but they find strange".
He intends to link the two. (To be continued.) )
