202, The source of supernatural powers: Wuzitian [seeking the moon]
The old woman's words made Chang Wei narrow his eyes and hold the handle of the knife tighter: "The old man looks dizzy, but he didn't expect his eyes to be so sharp."
"Young man, you wouldn't think that the strangeness in you can tell only the old man, right?"
Faced with Chang Wei's sudden tension, the old woman was not panicked, and still smiled and said slowly:
"If the General Zhao you met just now had no time to carefully distinguish the mistress and the young master, otherwise you would still be able to see your abnormality with his ability.
"Whether Cao thief, Liu Bei's big-eared thief, or Sun Quan's blue-eyed child, there are many talented people in their camp. If you come into contact with it rashly, you will soon reveal clues and be noticed by them. A person who is different from others and even incompatible with everyone will not be truly accepted by others."
"This old man is quite rude! He calls Cao Cao Cao, Liu Bei called Da Er Thief, and Sun Quan called Biyan... Her position is very strange! Could it be that he was born in the Han royal family? But if he was a royal family, he shouldn't have called Liu Bei the Great Er Thief, right?"
Chang Wei thought to himself, frowned slightly, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The old woman looked around and said something else: "Why don't you let go of your breath and feel it?"
Chang Wei was puzzled, but he took a breath carefully.
After taking in, he immediately looked surprised. Because he found that the air breathing here, the evil energy caused by the needle prickling the nose, airway, and lungs, caused by the needle pricking of fire in the outside world, only 50% higher than that of the outside world.
The old woman moved again, walked towards the courtyard, and said, "Go closer, try again."
Chang Wei frowned and walked slowly. After walking for a while, he took a breath. As a result, he found that the closer he got to the courtyard, the more the feeling of evil energy erosion was reduced. When he passed the stream in front of the courtyard, the feeling of evil energy erosion disappeared. During the breathing, he felt that at least twice as rich as in the Tang Dynasty, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth came from the source, without any discomfort.
"Why is this? Isn't it said that evil spirits are everywhere between heaven and earth? Why is there no evil spirits here?" Chang Wei was stunned and looked at the old woman in surprise.
The old woman walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked back and smiled, "Have you heard that the Yin-Yang is born and the Yang-Yong is born? Although evil spirits are everywhere between heaven and earth, there are also a very small number of areas where under the pressure of evil spirits, inspiration arises, forming a "blessed land" that is not eroded by evil spirits.
"The few feathers in the world who truly seek immortality, such as Nanhua Zhenren, Zuo Ci Zhenren, etc., all hid in the blessed land to practice. Lao Shi is also a small blessed land, and it is also the only blessed land in the Jingxiang area."
Chang Wei became increasingly puzzled: "Old man, what is your intention? Why do you tell me all the evil spirits, and why did you bring me this blessed place? But because of my origin?"
The old woman smiled kindly: "No matter where you are, don't worry about me, the old woman. Don't worry, I have no malice towards you. You, stay here with me, wait until you are no longer so 'ignorant', and go out and explore."
Chang Wei didn't believe that there would be goodwill in the world for no reason. Especially this old woman, she guessed his origin.
Therefore, he was not moved by the kindness shown by the old woman, and still asked stubbornly: "Old man, what do you want from me?"
"What do you get?" The old woman looked at Chang Wei with a dim old eyes, and her eyes were dazed: "Yes, what do I want to get from you? Although you seem... but... you are an alien, not him!"
Chang Wei raised his eyebrows: "He?"
Is the "he" mentioned by the old woman, her husband, brother, son, grandson?
The old woman did not answer, but just smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing. Come with me."
As he said that, he pushed open the gate and walked in.
Chang Wei was full of doubts and was confused by the old woman's intentions.
But the old woman saw through his origin and knew many secrets. She could tell the names of practitioners such as Nanhua and Zuo Ci, and knew that they were also practicing in the "blessed land". She obviously had some communication with the two monks who truly seek immortality.
When Chang Wei first arrived in this world, he had many confusions, and the old woman said nothing wrong. His situation was not suitable for contact with people from the outside world. Even if he wanted to go to the Western Regions and personally explore the "Shengshan outside the sky" that made him full of doubts, he had to figure out the basic situation and solve the problem of evil energy erosion.
So he thought for a while and finally followed - this old woman was not afraid of him taking the lead and seizing the "blessed land". Why should he worry about gains and losses and look forward to it?
If he really has bad intentions, his magical powers of protecting Taoism are not vegetarians!
He followed the old woman into the yard. The old woman took him into the living room of the main house and sat down, and went outside the hall to boil water and make tea.
Seeing the old woman squatting in front of the small furnace under the rain eaves and holding a flint to light up, Chang Wei couldn't help but ask, "Old man, you are both in a blessed land, and you seem to be familiar with the two monks of Nanhua and Zuo Ci. Do you even know the magical power of making fire in the void? Why do you still need to use flint to light up?"
While knocking on the flint, the old woman slowly said: "We live in a blessed land. Although we can not be eroded by evil spirits, once we use magical powers, the evil spirit will be induced and eroded the soul in the dark. Even if we hide in the blessed land, we cannot avoid evil spirits. Therefore, if we want to live forever, we must use less magical powers, and it is best not to use magical powers..."
Chang Wei shook his head and sighed: "Even magical powers cannot be used. Your immortality is really a bit awkward."
The old woman also sighed deeply: "Yes, it's indeed a bit aggrieved. But... if she could become an immortal and leave this world, maybe it would be better?"
Chang Wei smiled and said, "Oh? This is the old man's intention to bring me here? Want to find the ladder to heaven from me?"
However, the old woman slowly shook her head: "It is Nanhua and the others' idea to leave this world. As for the old man himself... before his wish is over, there will be a ladder to ascend to heaven before his eyes, and the old man will not take a look at it."
Chang Wei asked tentatively: "I wonder what the old man wants?"
The old woman smiled dryly and said, "I told you, can you make a wish for me?"
"Not necessarily." Chang Wei said frankly: "I have never known the old man. Although I have thanked the old man for kindness to solve my doubts for me and have attracted me to this 'blessed land' where you can breathe freely, I always have doubts about your intentions. And even you, a practitioner, cannot achieve your wish, I think I may not be willing to help with all my strength, and I may not be able to do it."
The old woman nodded: "You are justified. You are quite open."
So Chang Wei no longer asked more and talked about another thing: "Old man, the martial arts methods that warriors use evil energy to refine their bodies, as well as the magical powers and abilities of ordinary people, have they all realized themselves?"
In this world, there was no extraordinary ability. After the arrival of the divine mountain outside the sky, evil spirits filled the world, and only then did extraordinary powers and magical powers appear.
Since this is the case, neither evil spirit martial arts nor evil spirit magical powers will be taught by previous generations. There must be a group of pioneers who have opened up the path of evil spirit cultivation.
However, the old woman's answer was quite unexpected: "It was not entirely understood by oneself. In fact, most of the widely circulated evil martial arts, evil energy and magical powers, and even the methods of cultivating immortality were learned from the "wordless heavenly book".
"The Wordless Heavenly Book?" Chang Wei was stunned: "What is that?"
The old woman said: "When the sacred mountain outside the sky came to the world, there was a fragment that fell from the sky. It fell to mid-air, and the fragment exploded and turned into thousands of fragments, scattered all over the Middle Earth. Some people got fragments of fragments by chance. Some people were lucky and unexpectedly picked up fragments of fragments in the wild grass.
"Although the fragments are empty, if you observe the fragments from time to time, you may get some mystery and enlighten various magical methods by yourself. Either the martial arts of body refining evil energy, or the magical powers activated by evil energy, each fragment of the fragment, inspiration and enlightenment, is different.
"Some are extremely powerful evil martial arts, some are just extremely ordinary body refining methods. Some are powerful thunder magical powers, and some can only summon a light rain, which lasts less than a moment, with a range of less than half acre...
"In short, evil spirit martial arts and evil spirit magic powers have spread throughout the world because of the fragments. Because the fragments have no words, they can inspire enlightenment and teach people extraordinary abilities, just like "heavenly granted", so people call the fragments "the book of words without words".
"After Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, he ordered the collection of the wordless heavenly books. Some families who followed Emperor Guangwu took the initiative to present the wordless heavenly books they collected in order to gain the holy family.
"The people of the aristocratic families have a flexible mind. When the fragments of heavenly books came to the world and before they could understand their effectiveness, many aristocratic families used their means and took advantage of tricks. They collected the fragments of the wordless heavenly books from the hands of the little people who obtained the fragments by chance.
"According to this, most of the genius books were obtained by the powerful families, and there were very few people who could retain them. This also facilitated Emperor Guangwu to collect the genius books. With one decree, he collected many fragments of the genius books. However, some families chose to conceal them.
"However, Emperor Guangwu's attitude was very firm in this matter. Moreover, when Emperor Guangwu was young, he received a piece of fragments of heaven on the day when the fragments of heaven fell from the sky, and he actively threw himself into his arms. He learned the great power of summoning the death star and flood, and he could also refine four kinds of "celestial weapons". Even if the aristocratic families are powerful, they will not be able to compete with Emperor Guangwu unless they are united.
"With the kindness and power of Emperor Guangwu, most of the letterless heavenly books were finally collected by Emperor Guangwu. Later, it was collected by the court for more than a hundred years. Most of the letterless heavenly books fell into the control of the court, and only a very small number of fragments were still hidden among the people.
"However, since seventeen years ago, when Dong Zhe burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, the wordless heavenly book mastered by the imperial court has disappeared, and its whereabouts are still unknown..."
Chang Wei listened with relish and felt that this was like a fantasy story. At the end, he couldn't help but ask: "Since the court has mastered most of the wordsless heavenly books, how could the Han court become weak and be ruled by the relatives and eunuchs in turn? How could the Yellow Turban cause shaken the foundation?"
The old woman said: "The wordless heavenly book itself has no power, it will only inspire people and make people understand the method of mastering power. In fact, those methods have been spread throughout the world long before Emperor Guangwu ordered the collection of the wordless heavenly book. Even if the wordless heavenly book is taken back, it will not be forbidden to evil martial arts and evil magical powers.
"When the court is strong, it can suppress the ambitions of the powerful families. But when the court declines, it can no longer suppress the powerful families who already have power and wealth."
As for why the court declined, the old woman did not say it, but Chang Wei knew it well - the dynasty law. It is this world with extraordinary power. As long as the extraordinary power is not strong enough to make everyone have enough food, problems will inevitably arise.
The disadvantages of evil energy magic power will inevitably lead to no one using evil energy magic power to solve the difficulties encountered in agricultural production - evil energy magic power can call the wind and rain, but the more powerful the magic power, the shorter the life span.
Who is willing to consume their lifespan, call for wind and rain, crack the ground and open canals, solve irrigation problems for farmers, and even alleviate drought during the disaster year and help increase grain production?
Furthermore, the word "生生" sounds like destruction. The rainwater summoned by evil spirits may not have the ability to nourish crops at all, which will cause the crops to die.
After a casual thought, Chang Wei asked with a smile: "Didn't the old man say that there are very few fragments of the wordless heavenly books circulating among the people? Then, as a immortal monk living in a blessed land, do you have any collections of one or two?"
The old woman smiled, "I do have a piece of a wordless book in my old body. Do you... want to read it?"
