"It was the driver's sudden coma."
"Some people say that if the turmoil continues, it might deter countries other than Japan and give Japan a chance to develop rapidly. But you and I both know that it is impossible, because this is a world of 'mystery'." Ling Wuji glanced at the old man sitting opposite him, who was recklessly making noises with a straw in an empty Coke can, and said, "No matter how powerful that machine is, it still needs an executor to operate it. Maybe that person's technology in operating the machine is the best in the world, but in the mysterious world, she is just an ordinary person."
The old man who was sitting there with an imposing manner thought for a moment and said, "I don't mean to offend you, but do you mean that in the eyes of the God Slayer and the God of Disobedience, you are the same as an ordinary person in your eyes?"
"maybe."
Ling Wuji just spoke absentmindedly.
But in this case, what do you rely on to defeat Luo Hao?
Ling Wuji seemed to be able to see through the old man's thoughts at a glance, and he just said nonchalantly: "From the perspective of individuals, tigers and leopards can easily tear a human body apart, let alone IS. Even a person driving an armored vehicle can easily crush them. In this kind of confrontation, the difference between individuals is not the most important. The most important thing is whether the tools that an individual can make and use can minimize the damage caused by another individual and maximize the damage caused by himself, and defeat or even kill that individual."
"But didn't you say that as long as you are good at using tools, you can defeat the disobedient gods?"
"The problem is that the tools I can use are not industrially produced like the IS, but are simply based on my personal accumulation, just like..."
"It's like a strong young man defeating a weak old man simply by relying on his physical condition?" The old man suddenly laughed. "But Lingjun, you said so much, and it seems that you didn't refute that IS can strengthen you to some extent. So your problem is actually just a problem of trust, right? In my opinion, Lingjun should meet Miss Xiao Zhizhi."
Volume 2: Sword of Heaven: Chapter 18: Gambler
It's not just a matter of trust.
In fact, Ling Wuji was just too lazy to learn the driving skills of IS.
He did not doubt his own qualifications. For someone like him who was already a Yin God, his sense of space and reaction ability basically exceeded the limits of normal people. Moreover, he had practiced swordsmanship and was not a complete loser in martial arts. If men could take part in adaptability tests, he would most likely be able to get a B or A level.
But why bother?
In terms of mobility alone, Ling Wuji himself has the Liezi Wind Control Technique, although it is completely inferior to Luo Hao's Divine Foot Technique of shrinking the ground into an inch, but can the IS compare? As for lethality and protection, the speed of the IS is essentially no threat to Luo Hao. Char once said, "If you can't hit, there is no point", so the weapons loaded on the IS are nothing, and the armor is probably as thin as paper.
But in the end, the monk invited him to the underground research institute.
With the intention of finding out military secrets, Ling Wuji went anyway.
After all, what man can really resist piloting a robot?
Although that thing can only be considered an exoskeleton, if we talk about Gundam, the End Rave played by Shinomiya Ayase is obviously more similar.
……
But in fact, Ling Wuji really didn't understand.
So when Ling Wuji was visiting the underground research institute, he just watched a bunch of inexplicable parameters being reported, and he couldn't understand the inexplicable terms. When he saw Xiao Zhizhishu, she just glanced at him briefly, and then this woman with a pair of mechanical rabbit ears on her head and wearing a blue and white dress, who seemed to be pretending to be young, asked him directly:
"Do you think that setting the IS so that only women can drive it is a way to really improve the status of women?"
Ling Wuji immediately thought to himself, has this been a real feminist encounter?
But Ling Wuji just said: "IS has been around for ten years, right? Can it really improve the status of women? Haven't you looked at the current situation and drawn a conclusion yourself?"
"But the current status of IS does not meet my expectations."
"That only means that your method of changing the world has not achieved your goal."
Xiao Zhizhishu immediately gave Ling Wuji a meaningful look, and then said, "But the man from the Gongfengyuan family asked me to make IS for you, which goes against my original intention."
"If your intention is to improve the status of women by making weapons of war, why not just eliminate men by making war? After all, how many IS can you make, and how many jobs can you provide to women through IS?"
"Alas, social economics is too complicated," Xiao Zhizhishu, who seemed to be pretending to be young, sighed exaggeratedly and said, "But, Lingjun, you are indeed an interesting person."
Ling Wuji just rolled his eyes: "I don't think anyone would arbitrarily judge others as uninteresting just because of a few words."
"Lingjun doesn't seem to like me that much? Is it because I'm not cute enough? Ah, or is it that girls of my age are too mature for Lingjun?" She suddenly approached the boy, but Ling Wuji also suddenly floated back, and the distance between them was always maintained at a level of not too far or too close. She said thoughtfully, "It seems to be true. If we want to use the beauty trap, is Houki better?"
"Although I don't know who the Houki you are talking about is, I don't think I have anything that's worth making such a fuss about."
"You are joking, Lord. Didn't you tell me the reason why 'White Knight' failed? It was because of the interference from the mysterious side. But as long as you can make up for the IS's flaws in this regard and prevent the mysterious side from interfering, won't IS be able to change the world?"
"But the problem is," Ling Wuji suddenly stopped being nonchalant and said seriously, "What is the interference from the mysterious side? Have you heard of the God of Disobedience? Some of the God of Disobedience can open holes in the ground with one strike. No matter how many talismans you put on the IS, He can easily sweep away hundreds of IS with just a glance."
"That's not what I'm talking about..."
"But that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. Why do you think that people at that level won't take action?"
The secular side and the mystical side are not two completely separate worlds.
Even Luo Hao, who thought he had no interest in the replacement of secular dynasties, eventually accepted the identity of the co-leader of the mysterious side of southern China. The mysterious side of southern China had already taken deep roots in the secular world, but it was just well concealed. Moreover, even in Japan, the tentacles of the official history compilation committee also involved all aspects of Japanese society.
The stare between the two was long and silent.
After a long time, the mechanical rabbit ears on Xiao Zhizhi's head suddenly moved, as if she had received some message, so she pretended to be lively, opened her hands, and turned away.
It probably means that they parted on bad terms.
Ling Wu Ji thought.
But he hadn't really had any hope in the first place.
He just glanced at the space below where people were coming and going, and was sure that he could not understand any of the messy parameters and terminology. Thinking that there was no point in staying any longer, he said something to the person who received him and then left the underground research institute.
That night.
"How is it, Miss Xiao Zhizhi?"
"It doesn't matter to me, but it shouldn't matter to him either, right? He doesn't really need IS to do anything. It feels to me like he's saying that he can do whatever IS can do, so IS is dispensable to him."
Xiao Zhizhishu had nothing to hide from the priest on the other side of the camera and spoke directly.
“Even if it’s a fourth-generation aircraft?”
"Even if it's a fourth-generation aircraft, isn't there still no way to block the interference from the so-called mysterious side you mentioned?"
The old man in the temple said, "But isn't this the reason why you need to cooperate?"
"You didn't understand what I said. What he meant was that in order to fight against beings like the God of Disobedience, the IS pilots themselves must have a high enough level of mystical abilities, otherwise they will just rush forward and be cannon fodder."
"Isn't that talking about himself?"
Xiao Zhizhishu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Maybe. Then should we really make him an IS?"
"sorry to bother you."
"You guys paid for it anyway, so I'm happy to try out some new technology. But, is Gongyuan Weng really that important to you? He's even willing to let you expose this underground research institute."
"Maybe, maybe not, but aren't businessmen essentially gamblers? He does have the potential to overturn the world, so I can't help but bet a little more on him."
"Really? Then maybe I can join in the bet?"
Volume 2: Sword of the Heavenly Sword: Chapter 19: Dragon Slaying Technique
After the meeting with Xiao Zhizhishu ended in a bad mood, Ling Wuji casually agreed to several requests from Gongfengyuan Weng to save people as a reward for this not-so-pleasant meeting.
Of course, the other party's request to save people is not limited to the treatment of the Apocalypse Virus. Perhaps those workplace elites under him have worked too much 996, so the function of some part of their body has been diseased, so the old man asked Ling Wu Ji to cure them, so that they can continue to be exploited by capital, and at the same time win over the hearts of the people?
But after that, the Gongfengyuan family gave Ling Wuji another list.
The people on the list are all students of IS Academy, and they are also "retainers" of the academy.
Ling Wu Ji didn't know what to complain about for a moment. Should he complain about the fact that such feudal relics still exist in this era, or should he complain about how useless Arisa Koubei was to become such a person under such family conditions?
However, Ling Wuji did not have any psychological burden after school started. When he entered IS Academy for relevant cooperation, he directly employed those people, and even turned them into his believers in the end. Afterwards, he acted out a few scenes with Lu Yinghua's people, whether real or fake. Of course, there were not many people who knew Lu Yinghua's real attitude, so the research and development progress over there was mostly real, and the research and development progress on Ling Wuji's side was naturally fake. He just pretended to be a little faster than the other party—
In fact, his progress is basically nearing the end.
After those dozens of students were converted into his believers and they discovered that their young master was also his believer, and Ling Wu Ji performed many "miracles", the power of his will surged like summer rain falling into a river. Then he worked non-stop to develop a divine art that would allow them to participate in the authority stratification of the sky curtain barrier, so the authority stratification of the sky curtain barrier went on exceptionally smoothly.
Because of Ling Wuji's foundation in Mozi's Five Elements Technique, the parts belonging to the Five Elements in the Twenty-Eight Mansions in the Zhoutian were quickly stratified after Ling Wuji shared his knowledge - or blessed - with those believers. The remaining "sun" and "moon" belonged to the Yin and Yang parts, and the "life" and "death" controlled by the Beidou Soul-Fixing Death Technique and the Beidou Soul-Fixing Life-Prolonging Technique could barely match them.
Above the Twenty-Eight Mansions is the core of the lowest level of authority, which is the area of the Three Enclosures.
However, Ling Wuji did not intend to leave this job to others.
In fact, we can ignore this question for now.
And he didn't have time to care.
Because Lu Yinghua actually brought the Gorgon Stone to Japan.
Ling Wu Ji found it unbelievable that under the noses of the Sword King and the Wolf King, two extremely warlike godslayers, Lu Yinghua could actually make the muddy water even more muddy, so that the existence of the Gorgon Stone was buried under the muddy water for so long, and it was delayed for so long that the God of Disobedience did not get it in his hands, and even finally brought it to Japan. Such means were simply terrifying, and even made Ling Wu Ji a little frightened, and felt a little regretful for offending Luo Hao, who had such a talented person under his command.
"Isn't it a little too late to say this now?" Lu Yinghua handed him the obsidian tiredly and said, "You delay the time and keep the God of Disobedience in Japan. I will manipulate the people of the Official History Compilation Committee and ask them to arrange for Hime Miko to cancel the spell. But I'm not sure how long it will take, so you can act according to the situation."
"Okay."
Ling Wuji didn't really want to get involved in this kind of thing. When he heard Lu Yinghua asking him to delay the time and block the whereabouts of the God of Disobedience, his first thought was, is this guy trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife? But the moment he got the obsidian, the long-silent system suddenly popped up a prompt:
"Quest: Meet the Lord of Obsidian"
"Reward: Dragon Slaying Technique"
The owner of this palm-sized obsidian can basically be confirmed to be the Earth Mother Goddess of the Dragon Snake Godhead, but this Taoist forbidden technique catalog system also issues the so-called "Dragon Slaying Technique", which inevitably makes Ling Wu Ji fantasize that the system can really teach him the skills to slay the disobedient god of the Dragon Snake Godhead.
But according to his understanding, the so-called dragon-slaying art should come from the few sentences in "Zhuangzi·Lieyukou", "Zhu Ximan learned dragon-slaying from Zhili Yi, a family with only one fortune of thousands of gold. After three years, he mastered the skill but had no place to use it." The general meaning is that Zhu Ximan spent his own fortune to learn the dragon-slaying art from Zhili Yi, but had no place to use it, so the word is regarded as a synonym for advanced skills that cannot be used in reality.
Moreover, according to common sense, the level of mere techniques is absolutely incomparable to supernatural powers.
"Then you just have to be careful. But if you're lucky, maybe you can settle the feud between you and my master with this incident."
When Lu Yinghua heard that he had agreed to take on the task of delaying time, he sighed and said,
Ling Wuji had just guessed about the "Dragon Slaying Technique" in his mind. When he heard him say that, he immediately sneered: "Maybe it is true. I don't even need to wait until I am completely familiar with the Sky Curtain Boundary."
"Is that so? As long as she sees that you're helping out here, she might let you go..."
For a moment, Lu Yinghua thought that Ling Wuji had already given in. He thought that as long as Ling Wuji didn't always think about angering his master, he might be able to ease his relationship with Luo Hao after resolving the incident of the Monkey King. At that time, whether he was nostalgic for life in Japan or returned to China, he would have great potential.
But what he thought was completely different from what Ling Wuji thought.
At least Ling Wuji had no intention of giving up on revenge.
However, Ling Wuji did not say much. He just wiped his face casually like Ichigo Kurosaki in the anime "Bleach" he had seen in his previous life. Then his short black hair grew wildly in an instant, all the way down to his waist. His school uniform also changed invisibly, and finally became a green Taoist robe. His face seemed to be hidden in the mist, making it difficult to see clearly, and his voice became ethereal:
"What should I say at this time?"
"What did you say?"
Lu Yinghua was confused for a moment.
Then he heard the young man turn around and leave. The voice pretending to be old and experienced began to chant, which vaguely revealed some profound and mysterious meaning in this early autumn afternoon: "I have a bright pearl, which has been locked up by dust and dirt for a long time. Today, dust is gone and it shines through thousands of mountains and rivers!"
"You are a Taoist priest, and you are still thinking of reciting Buddhist enlightenment poems to show off at a time like this?"
Lu Yinghua was almost pissed to death by him.
