Chapter 4 Secret

Dingzhou, located in the northwest of Kyushu, belongs to the Bajing Palace of the nine major sects in the world.

Xiantian Yiqi Sect is located in the northwest of Dingzhou, and has jurisdiction over Tieshan and Qingtian cities, with a total of ten counties and a population of tens of millions.

Xiantian Yiqi Sect is a third-rate sect among the sects in the world.

The highest cultivation level in the sect is the True Lord of Yuanshen. There are three Yuanshen in the sect, with over a hundred golden elixirs and thousands of innate talents.

And because over the past few hundred years, Yiqi Sect has produced many shrewd and capable leaders.

We must work hard to govern, pay attention to talent cultivation, have strict morale and discipline, and have appropriate rewards and punishments.

After hundreds of years of development, the weather is not shallow.

Zhang Ke heard that once Lord Dong Tian appears in the sect, he will apply to be upgraded to a second-rate sect.

Zhang Ke comes from the Zhang family in Shuangqi Town, Qingtian City, and is one of the three major families in Shuangqi Town.

In the early years, the Zhang family had been friends with the Xiantian Yiqi Sect for generations, and it took a hundred years for them to fall into the eyes of the Yiqi Sect.

More than 300 years ago, the Zhang family began to send people from the Linghui tribe to Yiqi Sect.

So far, many members of the clan have become prominent both inside and outside the Yiqi Sect.

The person with the highest achievement is Zhang Yuanqiao, a direct uncle of Zhang Ke, whose Taoist name is "Maple Leaf", who cultivates gold elixirs and majors in talismans.

In addition, there are many people from the Xiantian period practicing in the sect.

Zhang Ke was smart since he was a child, so he was born at the age of six.

The family decided to send him to a Taoist temple, hoping to achieve success in the future.

But in fact, Zhang Ke knew that he had a secret in his heart.

He still remembers the year he entered the Taoist Temple.

When I heard the sound of the jade chime for the first time, the crisp sound of the chime was deafening and echoed in my mind, seeming to break the barrier.

From that day on, a strange cube appeared in my mind.

Six sides, golden, each side is composed of sixty-four small squares.

Each small square has different lines and textures.

Later, in a dream, he realized that this cube was called "Rubik's Cube".

The "Rubik's Cube" is very strange, floating in Zhang Ke's mind.

One corner stands up, spinning according to certain rules every moment.

Or rotate left and right, or rotate up and down.

Pros and cons are intertwined, good and bad are impermanent.

It's like a dice spinning on its upright side.

Occasionally there will be certain lines that are connected to form a more complete graphic.

Some knowledge that he didn't understand at all would flash through Zhang Ke's mind.

This knowledge is very scattered and has no rules at all.

Slowly he understood that this pattern was the rune pattern.

Talisman patterns are a kind of talisman technique that can only be learned by talisman masters.

He had no idea why the "Rubik's Cube" appeared in his mind.

And every time the "Rubik's Cube" in his mind rotates, as long as he concentrates on observing the Rubik's Cube.

Your mind will become blurred and you will enter a dream state.

He would always vaguely enter a special state, as if he had a second life in a dream.

It grows slowly from birth, and this process is very clear in dreams.

In that strange dream, the world was strange and bizarre, and human beings were developing very rapidly.

In just a few thousand years, relying on technology, humans have been able to leave their own planet and explore beyond the stars with the help of artifacts.

Zhang Ke felt like a ghost attached to someone else, watching the person in his dream grow up slowly.

From babbling to toddlers, to going to school, joining the workforce, getting married and having children.

I remember playing wildly in the arcade all night long.

I remember that when I was learning to recite my lessons, my hair fell out in handfuls.

I also remember a series of embarrassing things that happened when I asked my buddies and friends to help create a romantic atmosphere when I was pursuing the woman I loved.

Everything about this felt so real to him.

Those unforgettable feelings are unbearable every time I wake up.

And when the Rubik's Cube appears again in his dream, he wakes up from the dream again.

But whenever I wake up from a dream, these memories slowly fade away like the tide, but some vague memories always remain.

Reality and dreams are like he has two different lives.

So much so that when he was young, he couldn't tell the difference.

Is the self in the dream real? Is the self in reality in the dream of myself in that dream?

Or am I really dreaming in reality, and everything in the dream is just a dream.

But the extremely clear feeling made him unable to distinguish.

The two-phase interference caused him to be in trouble for a long time.

Always in a state of memory confusion.

In reality, people often say words that others cannot understand.

For example: Blue Thin Mushroom, Melon-eating Crowd, Ge You Lying or Fuck You and the like.

He has no control over this "Rubik's Cube", it's like it doesn't exist.

But it is really turning every moment, making a "click" sound.

You can't imagine that a six-year-old child would always have a "click-click" sound irritating him.

Whether awake or asleep.

The sound of "Rubik's Cube" was like a terrible curse, which tortured him throughout his boyhood.

And the more you pay attention to it, the more disturbed you are by it.

Sometimes, when Zhang Ke couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to split his head open with a knife.

If only that damn voice could stop.

When he was a child, he cried and made trouble, and even a real person in the mountains once specially treated him.

The conclusion is that he may have awakened part of his past life memories.

It may also be because his natural spirit is different from ordinary people, his mental acuity is too high, and he interacts with certain spirits unknowingly.

Real people are also surprised by this situation.

When he left, he made an exception and taught him a spiritual cultivation technique called "Nine-Character Mantra".

This method cultivates the body externally and the soul internally. It is a widely circulated Taoist method.

The practice of "Nine-Character Mantra" requires concentration.

In conjunction with the oral formulas and finger formulas, they fight on foot and chant "Those who are facing an army to fight must march forward in formation."

It causes physical and mental shocks, and during the shocks, it restrains the physical and mental coordination and promotes each other.

The "wonderful method of nine-character mantra" is easy to learn but difficult to master.

It is said that once this method is truly achieved, all dharmas will arise and cease in a single thought.

Beginners can basically master it in a month, and it is widely spread.

Many casual practitioners will practice it when they have no choice.

I hope to learn some magical powers from it, but it is a legend after all.

After Zhang Ke learned the magic method of mantra on his own, he couldn't resist the request of his colleagues in the Taoist Academy, and with the permission of the Taoist Academy, he taught this method.

But now, apart from him, there is no other person who continues to practice.

Just because the effect is minimal.

And the reason why he persists.

It was then that he discovered that while reciting the mantra and exercising, the sound produced by the rotation of the "Rubik's Cube" could be weakened.

After nearly fifteen years of practice, this nine-character mantra has been silently integrated with the Baiyang Stone Carvings at some point.

It was burned into Zhang Ke's body, just like eating and sleeping.
