Maybe the essence of that monkey will really just turn into a stone.
But the two figures still looked at him calmly, signaling him to deliver one last sword.
So Ling Wu Ji really delivered the last sword.
After this sword was struck, what was left was indeed a piece of stone.
The "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" immediately restrained Wu Zhiqi who was about to attack, took the stone, turned around and wanted to leave. Ling Wuji couldn't help but shout: "Where are you going, Great Sage?"
"Mount Huaguo, Water Curtain Cave."
"but……"
"If there are no mountains and rivers of flowers, fruits and waters in this world, I will create one. And as long as the human world does not bother me, I will not bother to care about the human world's affairs. Of course, if it is you, I will also have good wine to welcome you." He lifted Wu Zhiqi's figure, and then as if he remembered something, he pulled out three hairs from the back of his head, blew them, and the three hairs fell in front of Ling Wuji. "If you have anything to ask of you, use these hairs. I am leaving now."
Ling Wuji saw the golden light heading southwest and glanced at the hair in his hand. He felt that everything he had encountered today was far beyond his expectations. Although his senses of the real world were confused, this scene still made him feel as if he was in a dream. This huge sense of absurdity even made him feel that the world suddenly became real.
Then, in this devastated world, Medusa's huge body suddenly turned back to normal size. She used her petrifying magic eyes to turn Athena's hands and feet into stone and fixed them to a ruin. She then used the Gorgon Stone to transform it into a sickle, and put the blade against the slender neck of the person who looked not much different from her. However, she hesitated for a long time and still couldn't do it.
So she turned her attention to the people who caused the current situation.
But they found that the Taoist priest whose face they couldn't see clearly was actually preparing to fly away on the wind, and it was obvious that he didn't intend to take care of their business!
"Hey!"
Ling Wu Ji turned around.
"You feel……"
"That's your own business, right?"
"But it's you who caused this situation, isn't it?"
"Do you have any complaints about your current situation?"
"Pulling someone out without permission and doing this to them will only cause them trouble..."
When Ling Wuji heard that Medusa, who had always acted like she was going to destroy the world, suddenly acted like a girl, he didn't know how to respond for a moment. But after thinking about it carefully, he said, "How about this, I have a coin in my hand. There are words on the front and flowers on the back. Guess whether it is heads or tails? If you guess correctly, then kill her."
"Wouldn't that be too hasty..."
"Pro or con?"
Ling Wuji didn't give her a chance to hesitate.
"just."
Ling Wuji spread his hands and said, "Kill him."
"Can……"
Medusa still hesitated.
"Then let her go," Ling Wuji said. "If you're still hesitating, it means you don't want to kill her at all. Anyway, you have the Gorgon Stone in your hands, and she can't do anything to you for a while. From my point of view, it's better for you to kill her, then I won't need the life-saving hair that Monkey Brother gave me."
Then Ling Wu Ji no longer cared about her and flew away with the wind.
Lu Yinghua, who was not far away, knew that he must want to find Luo Hao, so he rushed to the scene and laughed at him!
"He is not just courting death, he is simply courting death!"
However, Lu Yinghua was only an innate warrior, not yet at the level of a grandmaster who could fly into the air, and he could not catch up with Ling Wuji. He just sat lazily on a ruin somewhere. Not long after, the Official History Compilation Committee and Scepter 4 arrived, but at this time both Athena and Medusa had disappeared, and the only creature left in this doomsday scene was Lu Yinghua.
Although it sounds tragic, Ling Wuji was not so crazy as to choose the battlefield in a downtown area, but instead chose the deserted suburbs. Of course, it is unrealistic to say that no one was affected, but Ling Wuji could not care less.
Those who came to investigate later looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw Lu Yinghua sitting there carelessly:
The disciple of the Chinese godslayer Luo Hao is not someone who can be easily controlled!
Moreover, most of the trends in the mysterious circles in Tokyo, Japan are related to the person behind him.
But in any case, since Lu Yinghua was here, he obviously had relevant clues, so after the visitor exchanged glances, he asked Lu Yinghua without objection by having Reisi Munakata ask the question. Lu Yinghua was frank. After all, no matter how you looked at it, his master's goal had been achieved. So he concealed the name and specific details of Ling Wuji who had deliberately changed his appearance into another one, and told the general story.
Even though Munakata Reiji is undoubtedly an elite, he is still a newcomer in the mysterious field. He didn't react much to the idea of dividing the God of Disobedience. However, the people in the official history compilation committee behind him had a look on their faces that said "are you kidding me":
This isn't the way to talk nonsense, is it?
Volume 2: Sword of Heaven: Chapter 25: Three Sounds
After meeting the Monkey King, a thought kept lingering in Ling Wuji's mind:
Since coming to Japan, has the world become more open or more closed to him?
Although from the map alone, the scale of the world seems to be just that big, from China to the east is Japan, from Japan to the east is America, and from America to the east is Europe and Africa, and so on, back and forth, endlessly, as if imagination alone is enough to see the whole picture. But he also knows very well that the situation he has to deal with in Tokyo alone is already complicated enough, and the real world cannot be summarized by just a map.
But if he closed the window of communication with the outside world, he would be like the stone monkey now, even more paranoid than before in China, and only wanted to take revenge on Luo Hao, and had no other concerns, then how could he say that his world had become wider?
Is it just that his means become more sophisticated, his self-boundaries radiate to more people, and more people are pressed onto the trajectory created by his will?
That's just treating this world as a game.
Although Ling Wuji had always felt that there was nothing wrong with playing games in the human world.
But is the real world really just a game to him?
Perhaps it was really because what had just happened was too absurd for him, and it touched him much more than any other time in the past, so Ling Wuji began to seriously think about the connection between this world and himself.
Rather than letting your actions be driven by your own emotions.
But if that's the case, then what does his behavior of going to find Luo Hao now mean?
He sighed silently.
……
The place where the Official History Compilation Committee raised the domesticated Monkey King or the Monkey God is located in Tochigi Prefecture, just north of Tokyo. It takes more than two hours to get there using modern means of transportation. Ling Wu Ji is only a Yin God after all. Although Lie Zi's wind-controlling technique does not consume much true energy, the consumption of spiritual consciousness is frighteningly high. So when he arrived there by riding the wind, his spiritual consciousness could hardly maintain the illusion of Mo Zi's Five Elements Technique.
And that place turned into a pile of rocks just as the monkey said.
Ling Wuji used the Qi-Watching Technique to observe for a moment, then used the perspective of the Pot Technique to look at the huge source of magic power, and saw that she was indeed seriously injured, so she was using methods such as the Turtle Breathing Technique to restrain the signs of her life activities. Perhaps she was waiting for herself to recover and break out of the cocoon again?
Ling Wuji took a breath for a moment, and when his soul was barely able to use magic normally, he hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"If it is really as I thought, then let me see what kind of me you can see in this mirror."
From the second (nine) Qi 彡si
Although Ling Wuji and Luo Hao are now in a delicate situation, Ling Wuji actually feels that they have some similarities. Although Ling Wuji himself is not a tyrant and can put his will above others without any hesitation, it is obvious that his will is not so easily influenced by others. This is not the meaning of "gentlemen are harmonious but different", it simply means that he does not take others seriously.
Although Ling Wuji was not surprised that he would become her enemy.
He used Mozi's Five Elements Technique to separate the soil and rocks, creating a cave entrance. He simply stood above the cave entrance and looked at the beautiful girl in Hanfu, who was probably more than 300 years old but still looked about 17 years old. Although her face was stained by the filthy mud, it did not damage her almost flawless beauty.
Of course Luo Hao was not famous for her beauty. It was simply because she would gouge out the eyes of anyone who saw her, and cut off the ears of anyone who heard her speak. It was not without reason that Ling Wuji called her a tyrant.
Ling Wuji just stared quietly for a moment, and finally waved his hand to close the hole again.
"The sounds of nature? The sounds of the earth? The sounds of man? The 'three sounds' in Zhuangzi's Equality of All Things?"
This time the "Catalogue of Forbidden Taoist Spells" system was unusually generous, and directly listed all three spells. It was not like in the past, when only one spell was given each time.
In "Zhuangzi·Equalization of Things" the "three sounds" are mentioned, saying that "the sound of heaven" is the sound made by all things themselves, "the sound of earth" is the sound made by strong wind blowing through the holes in the ground, and "the sound of man" is naturally the sound made by people blowing orchestral instruments. In fact, Zhuangzi's doctrine is basically of this tune. He believes that the sound of heaven is higher than the sound of earth, and the sound of earth is higher than the sound of man, because the sound of man is the conscious action of man, the sound deliberately adjusted by man, of course it cannot compare with the spontaneous, unconscious and harmonious sound of all things in heaven and earth.
As for the fact that "heavenly music" was understood by later generations as extremely beautiful singing, to the point that a Shanghai idol named Tang went to Japan and tried to seduce her classmates to be school idols with her by saying that her singing was simply heavenly music, this can only be said to be similar to the situation of "the hottest month in July" and "there is no smoke without fire".
"However, isn't this a description of an objective phenomenon, but a spell?"
Let Wu Jixin say.
However, he quickly read through the entire article.
Then he discovered that these three magic spells were completely different from what was said in "Qiwu Lun".
The so-called "natural sound" in "On the Equality of Things" refers to the sound that all things make naturally, but this spell is about how to make the process of the caster making sound not be disturbed by the outside world. In more common terms, it is about creating a "field" in which only the caster's "sound" will be regarded as a natural sound, while the rest of the spells and even magic will be regarded as unnatural and will be forcibly corrected or even excluded;
As for "Earth Sound", it is more like a spell like Dugu Nine Swords. When casting, one can find the enemy's flaws by "listening to the wind", thus finding the enemy's weak links when casting spells, disrupting the enemy's casting process, and even cutting off the connection with the original caster after the spell is formed, and rolling it back;
However, "human music" is the magic that deviates most seriously from the thought of "On the Equality of Things".
Because the essence of this magic is to manipulate other people's emotions through sound, the so-called "stirring up the seven emotions and reversing the six desires", using sound as a medium to evoke the latent emotions in people's hearts and resonate with the performer. Strictly speaking, this is not manipulation, but replacement, because a person must first have that kind of emotion before the object of that emotional connection can be transferred to another object through sound.
"What an evil spell..."
Volume 2: Sword of Heaven: Chapter 26: Horizon
Although in fact, the magic of "suggestion" has already developed to a certain extent, and people like Ling Wuji, who are at the Yin Shen level, can use "suggestion" on ordinary people and make them obey his orders.
At first glance, Human Lai is the most useless spell the system has ever provided.
But through the "human sounds", Ling Wu Ji could suddenly hear the voices of people in distant places. Some people's seemingly sincere conversations revealed two completely opposite emotions, some people's words were completely unadulterated enthusiasm, and some people were hiding their depressed mood while singing loudly, and some people were just laughing and playing with their companions. The sounds coming from all directions had never made Ling Wu Ji feel so real, as if his consciousness floated in mid-air, so he could clearly see that everyone's emotions turned into colorful blocks of color, colliding with each other, annihilating and then being reborn, and it was as if he could touch those blocks of color and could paint them with the colors at will.
This was an experience Ling Wuji had never had before.
Even though he originally had the "Taixu Mirror" in Tokyo, which could see what was happening under the sky curtain barrier, he never felt that the people he saw were related to him. It was as if those people reflected by the Taixu Mirror were just actors on the cinema screen, and he was just an irrelevant spectator.
But through the spell of "Human Sound", he suddenly felt that the world in his eyes was not just a game, and those people were not just NPCs who would act according to fixed logic. They had their own troubles, their own happiness and their own preferences. Even when Ling Wuji expanded the scope to include Tokyo, he could hear the voice of Arisa, who he had always regarded as a weak person.
She also wants to cheer up, to inherit the consortium on her own without relying on any external forces, and to get the recognition of her grandfather.
Although the final result was not satisfactory.
But she didn't really just want the protection of the strong from beginning to end as Ling Wuji imagined.
Even the IS Academy students who he used as tools to build the sky curtain barrier have their own lives and their own delicate worries. Trivial matters such as whether you should apologize if you accidentally made someone angry when talking to them today, and whether the color of your lipstick is too bright, seem extremely real. When talking about the future, the emotions of longing are also shining. They are not like him who has never thought about the specific future and will not work hard for it.
Although when he came into contact with this information, Ling Wuji always felt that he was unconsciously prying into other people's privacy.
But soon, he got rid of such boring thoughts and couldn't help but expand the scope.
At this point, Ling Wuji was actually unable to distinguish who was saying what and what emotions they were feeling. He just saw a bunch of turbid blocks of color stacked together like irregular bubbles, but there were always some particularly dark ones that were unsightly. They were in Tokyo, in the areas that his sky curtain barrier had not yet covered, but more of them were gathered near Kyoto Prefecture. Ling Wuji carefully identified them for a moment, and finally determined that they were demons preying on humans' hearts and livers. The demons' dark desires and the passionate emotions that erupted before humans' death were mixed together, which looked extremely ugly.
Just like Ling Wuji’s expression at this moment.
Even though he had already read the relevant written documents and knew the specific casualty figures.
But numbers are just numbers after all, and are far less real than seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears.
But at the same time, another voice in his heart was saying, "Didn't you know these facts a long time ago? There are so many separations and deaths happening in the hospital. Can you manage them all? Haven't you heard clearly about superpowers committing crimes, superiors oppressing the inferiors, capitalists exploiting workers, teachers punishing students, and students being bullied by classmates? Do you have to manage every one of them?"
It can't be managed.
Ling Wu Ji was more or less aware of this fact.
And what will happen if we let the Sky Curtain Barrier go to the Official History Compilation Committee? Can they guarantee that they won’t use the Sky Curtain Barrier to do something more outrageous than this?
Of course, Ling Wuji has no right to say that.
After all, he was the one who lured Athena over with the Gorgon Stone in his hand.
