The fifth movement: The angel told me (12): The eighth phase (two in one)
"Huh?"
The two little girls were at a loss, while Fan Ning was so surprised that he blinked several times.
He even felt for a moment that he was talking to a witness.
Of course, he immediately realized that his current understanding of the "apostle" was extremely limited. All the information was pieced together through speculation from his own experience or reading documents, and lacked any substantial direct information.
There must be many unknowns and deviations.
This is a twilight area that even the Deeper can't see clearly, and the Order Enforcer... Fan Ning has never been qualified to communicate with an Order Enforcer before.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he asked the two students to wait a little further away, then calmed down, sorted out their thoughts, sorted them out, and asked the doubts in his heart as concisely and comprehensively as possible:
“What exactly is the nature of an apostle?”
"Isn't it true that only the Lord of Witnesses exists and has an apostle? Why is Master Lucter your apostle? Where is he now?"
"How did those apostles become apostles? What did the heterogeneous purpose mean to them?"
The more difficult the mysterious knowledge, the more obscure the effect of expressing it in words, but Fan Ning still hopes to get some guiding tips from the other party.
The voice of the sage Liu Li flows over the sea of flowers, like water waves and air:
“The essence of an apostle is actually just a ‘relationship’, the relationship between sending and being sent.”
"When one party is the 'sender' and the other party is the 'sent one', and has left actual actions and influence in the long history, the latter can be called the 'apostle' of the former, and the former can be called the 'apostle' of the former.
Call it the latter's 'mentor' - the title of mentor here and the meaning of the higher-ups of the school are two different things."
“In short, there is no necessary connection between ‘whether you are the lord of witnesses’ and ‘whether you have an apostle’.”
"For example, a young man follows his lover's preferences and accomplishes something for her; a minister is sent by his king to complete a conquest and plunder; his subordinates follow the minister's orders and carry out a secret mission...
…They are all apostles and mentors in a broad sense, and there may be nested chains: someone is an ‘apostle’ relative to the sender above, and a ‘teacher’ relative to the person being sent below...
"But it should be noted that such a person often does not have mystical significance."
"To be a true apostle in the mystical sense, his 'sender' or 'teacher' must possess divinity. In other words, only the orderer and above can talk about 'choosing apostles'."
.”
Fanning thought of characters like Sylvia, Vasius, and Vienne, and he asked questions in an attempt to confirm:
"I have previously come into contact with some members of secret organizations who are suspected of having heterogeneous purposes, so I would like to ask the saint, if they are really apostles, is it possible that they were sent by the Lord of Witnesses, or maybe they were just sent by a certain person?
The orderer’s mission?”
"Actually, the situation you mentioned is basically the latter." Ji's voice sounded again, "Even the Insightful One cannot directly communicate with the Lord of Witnesses, let alone the apostle who is qualified to become the Lord of Witnesses?"
"Those who are qualified to directly worship the Lord of Witness must be a complete person of order or above, such as the 'saint' in the Zhengshen Church. It is unlikely that Mr. Scheler will be encountered casually among the group of Esoteric believers.
Even if there is one apostle of the Lord who bears witness, it is difficult for there to be two or three more.”
"The vast majority of people who become apostles are selected by the mentors in the realm of the Order. These 'sent' are not required to have such high threshold qualifications. Generally, most of them are ordinary knowledgeable people, and a very few are profound.
Of course, since the sending relationship can form a chain, if an orderer is both an apostle of the Lord who is witnessing from above, and a mentor to a knowledgeable person below, then the latter's actions will naturally indirectly reflect the testimony.
the will of the lord
"But the above definitions and principles can only be used as reference and not as golden rules. Occultism is not a natural science. There are neither absolute laws nor stable effective responses. There are only 'usual situations', 'generally speaking', and incidental
Countless and unexplainable exceptions..."
Fan Ning began to figure out the meaning.
He believes that there is another variable that is possible in the time span of history.
If an orderer occupies a HOS seat through the fourth type of origin, will his former apostle be promoted because of his great achievements? In the same way, if the orderer had previously enshrined an apostle
The Lord of Witnesses has now become the God of Origin. What kind of relationship will there be between the two Lords of Witnesses?
The more Fan Ning thought about it, the more complicated it became. This personal knowledge made him feel dizzy and dangerous.
He had to first think about some known characters.
Mr. F, Sylvia, Vasius, Perfumer, Experience Officer, Vienne
In this way, he immediately thought of the "old days" instructions for reproducing music, and the phenomenon of tampering with keys.
Could he also be a sent person?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible"
“I didn’t even know that this happened, and since I noticed something fishy, I have continued to use the method of reproducing music to expand my inspiration or quickly open up the situation, but the temptation of entering Huita and climbing all the way reminded me that
I will definitely ignore it”
Fan Ning has always felt that the former is just a tempting "sweetener" and the latter is the real motive, and he is very clear about this.
——If it’s sweet, just take a few more bites. The more things you can do to take advantage of others, the better. But if you really want to trick yourself into it? There’s no way!
He thought for a while and asked a question that was equally confusing before:
"So what is the purpose or function of the existence of an apostle?"
This existence makes the originally complicated stakes even darker and unclear, and makes the already obscure secret history even more ambiguous. Fan Ning has always been deeply afraid of this.
If you want to eliminate as much as possible the impact of various events on your cognition and decision-making, you must understand it more clearly.
"Naturally let the mentor get promoted higher."
Fan Ning's answer made Fan Ning frown.
Without understanding the meaning behind it, the other party asked: "Mr. Scheler's spirituality has already reached its limit, so has he ever observed and understood the structures at high places?"
""Summer Noon Dream" contains some of my understanding." Fan Ning first answered calmly.
The next moment he felt the surprise coming from the invisible eyes surrounding him.
In fact, the purpose of asking this question is because the exchange of implicit knowledge will continue in the future, and it is necessary to confirm whether Scheler has enough cognitive high ground.
He found that Scheler's understanding of Huita was obviously beyond expectation.
This was because "Summer Noon Dream" had only five movements written so far. He could not imagine that the other party was planning to use this work as a self-created key to advance to the level of the Insightful One!
Currently, the only person in the world who uses self-created keys to ascend is Pogorelic. This is something that the "saint" behind the Orthodox Church and the "advisor" behind the official school of thought clearly know.
This is also the direct reason why these official forces are extremely afraid of the Special Patrol Office and are willing to accept its leadership position in the discussion group.
"That's very good. Mr. Mister, you might as well recall the knowledge about the 'key' first." He reminded.
Fan Ning then narrated fluently:
"The key is a necessary item for passing through the door of Huita. Theoretically, it can take many forms, such as self, other self, secret ritual, ritual vessel, secret transmission, or a certain feat, a certain moment, or a certain experience.
, a certain emotion or state in any form has the possibility of becoming a key, but in general, most of its acquisition relies on the inheritance of extraordinary organizations from ancient times to the present, and it is extremely difficult to find new keys."
"That's basically it. But have you ever thought about whether the key to traveling through doors at different heights will require more fundamental changes from a certain point on?"
Fan Ning's eyes suddenly brightened up as he asked questions, and he got a sense of direction.
Yes, there is a detail that was overlooked before.
The keys required to pass through the lower triple door and the upper triple door must be very different!
Now Fan Ning is just "metaphorically constructing the upper and lower structure", creating the key to the first door by himself. The climbing path has just begun, and his knowledge of higher places is extremely limited.
But he recalled something he had found on the dome window of Qiming Church.
The original key information that has been tampered with and crossed out by the "old days" begins from the fourth level of the divine door, where a large number of words "apostle" appear! The climbing path of both "candle" and "key" is
in this way!
"After reaching the height of the Divine Gate, the required keys begin to become related to the apostles?" Fan Ning speculated.
"To be more precise, the apostle is a necessary part and link of the key to the high place." The other party confirmed.
The cigar on the wicker chair burned out, and the shadows of the petals and flames completely faded to transparency.
Then Fan Ning saw Master Lucter's figure reappearing on the wicker chair!
He slowly took out a new cigar from his pocket.
Are the apostles merely part of the key to high?
Lucter is the apostle of Ji?
The scene in front of him made Fan Ning's mind run at high speed, and it seemed that he had been inspired by something again.
The first two nouns in the key form flashed through his mind again. He calmed down and asked in a solemn voice:
"So, if my guess is correct, the types of apostles are also divided into 'self' and 'other'?"
Master Lükert stood up and walked along the stone steps in the water towards the depths of the flowers. The cigar that touched his lips lit up again, leaving behind a puff of light pink smoke:
"It's these two forms."
Fan Ning quickly chased after him and motioned to the two little girls to follow him.
"But why?"
"Why does the Executor need an Apostle to construct the key when he wants to continue to climb?"
"Is it because the Executor has sublimated and migrated, and some secret rituals must be completed in the waking world with the help of the apostles?"
This time his guess was obviously not on point. Master Lucter in front did not look back and asked Fan Ning:
"Since you have observed Huita to some extent, how do you feel about it?"
Fan Ning gave his evaluation without hesitation:
"It's riddled with holes, and it becomes increasingly difficult to get through as you go up."
Master Lucter sighed softly after hearing this:
"Mr. Scheler's judgment is too optimistic, or his observation is not clear enough."
"In fact, the climbing path to the triple door is completely dead."
"No way to go?...All seven phases are like this?" Fan Ning frowned and asked.
"That's all."
"Then how did the Order Executor continue to climb up?"
Master Lucter took a deep breath from his cigar and stared at the rainbow in the mist of the garden:
"I don't know in what era this 'no way out' situation took shape, nor do I know which executive came up with this idea first, but he must be a genius who is unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
, even if He can find a way to pass through the dome door in the future, I won’t be surprised..."
Fan Ning's eyes looked a little strange: "Did he invent the existence of this apostle?"
"Apostle is not the point, it is just a means." Lucter shook his head, "The essence of this idea is to find some kind of knowledge or knowledge that can be regarded as the 'eighth phase' when the climbing path of the seven phases has no way to go.
Criterion type, use it to transform the keys of the original seven phases, thereby building a non-existent 'support structure' around the rotten or collapsed path, forcing the order enforcer to climb!"
"And the knowledge or principles that the order enforcers choose to serve as the 'eighth phase' is - the secret history!!"
Secret history!?......
The Secret History can actually be regarded as...a phase?
This unexpected knowledge and imagination gave Fan Ning an extremely weird and gorgeous sense of strangeness and dislocation.
He suddenly thought of the hidden knowledge 1+4 framework that Dupont had mentioned when he first entered the Guidance School and told him about the occult courses related to the secret history!
Among the categories of occult knowledge, "Secret History" occupies a central position due to its direct connection to the origin and mystery of the Lord of Witness, while "Shifts", "Aspects", "Mysteries" and "Knowers" are only derived categories.
Of course, due to insufficient knowledge reserves in the past, the lecturers and learners at that time were probably all in the framework of "rote memorization", but now, Fan Ning feels like he has found some kind of deep confirmation!
Is this the theoretical basis for considering "Secret History" as the eighth aspect?
Master Lückert's voice continued;
"Whether it is choosing 'others' as apostles or sending 'self' as apostles, the purpose is essentially the same. They are to complete an undecided period in another relatively independent life and are inextricably linked to the original existence.
Secret History, and create or find a ritual instrument that contains the invisible power of the 'Secret History', and give it to yourself as a key at the right time..."
"The facts they witnessed are contradictory to the facts known to the world. When taken out in the main river basin of history, they appear extremely inconsistent, extremely divisive, extremely illogical, and simply like things that 'do not exist in this world.'"
thing……"
"Such items are obviously incomprehensible to ordinary people. Their existence is forbidden, and forbidden things have power."
"Usually, this kind of items can be called - 'paradox antiques'."
When Fan Ning heard this, he was completely stunned.
Paradoxical antique?
There are not only regular phase colors, but also extraordinary items that may contain the invisible power of the eighth phase - the "secret history"?
It seems extremely inconsistent, extremely divisive, extremely illogical, and almost like an object that does not exist in this world?
for example……
The mobile phone I brought with me from the beginning of time travel!?!?
