Chapter 174 The True Combination of Human and Stick 1
Chapter 174 The True Unity of Man and Stick
Treasures are created by nature, and those with virtue belong to them.
Wen Rui never understood the principle of "only the virtuous can occupy the throne", but judging from the results of his spiritual exploration, it seems that he has no chance of getting the Dinghai Shenzhen.
Nothing happens.
Wen Rui first ruled out the possibility that his cultivation level was not high enough. The monkey was not following the ordinary cultivation process, he was becoming a saint in the flesh.
Moreover, Dayu also used the Dinghai Shenzhen when he controlled the flood. When Dayu, the emperor of mankind, controlled the flood, he was a mortal like Wen Rui. Wen Rui had as many merits as Dayu, so how could he not use it?
Is this stick waiting for the monkey to come before being activated?
If you think about it carefully, this is not the case, unless the saints have divine power in the field of time and understand the entire process of the universe from its creation to its destruction and can arrange everything properly.
Be it Buddha or Lao Tzu, the concept of "impermanence" was mentioned in their scriptures. Impermanence is one of the core theories of Buddhism and Taoism, so there is no such thing as fatalism.
Gods and Buddhas who preach fatalism are distorting the doctrines set by their ancestors. Just like Wen Rui, they are falsifying the imperial edict and fooling believers.
Thinking of this, Wen Rui strengthened his mind and prayed silently in his heart: "Dinghai Shenzhen, if you follow me, Wen Rui, and are tempered by my merits, you will be able to exert your divine power of measurement and balance. You can survey the observable universe, measure the Planck scale threshold of matter and energy conversion, and measure the depth of people's hearts! I will use you to measure the unmeasurable rules of the universe!"
As prayers arose in his heart, the stubborn iron pillar finally changed and emitted a real auspicious light, which echoed the power of Wen Rui's merits and karma.
Wen Rui then came to realize that in this magical world, even inorganic matter, or inanimate beings, can achieve enlightenment.
A piece of stone can give birth to a monkey. So, if a piece of iron is old enough and has accumulated merits that reach a certain standard, it can naturally give birth to a spirit.
This magic needle has already given birth to a spirit, but it's a pity that the spiritual energy in the world today is thin. If it were in the ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant, it would have turned into a monster long ago.
The stubborn iron spirit and the bright stone monkey are both heartless beings, so they naturally feel close to each other, which is why it is easier for them to recognize the monkey as the master.
The dull iron pillar gradually shrank and turned into an iron rod with golden hoops at both ends. One of the ends was engraved with a few seal characters: Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Wen Rui held the golden cudgel in his hand, but he did not pose like a monkey playing with a cudgel. Instead, he used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the spirit of the golden cudgel with a serious expression, conveying extremely complex information to it.
The dragon girl swallowed a mouthful of ambergris and looked at the mortal in front of her in shock.
Only at this moment did she realize that she had underestimated others. This handsome man in front of her could not be judged by common sense, nor could she judge his ability based on the level of his cultivation.
"Mr. Wen, you must be very happy to have obtained this treasure, but please don't wave it around on the bottom of the sea."
The Dragon Girl said cautiously: "If this treasure does not move, it will be fine, but if it stirs the sea waves, it will definitely cause huge waves."
"Do you think I'm a naughty monkey?" Wen Rui rolled his eyes at her and said, "How can a monk dance with joy just because he got a treasure?"
The amount of mind-controlled information transmitted was extremely large, and the spirit of the Ruyi Jingu Bang found it difficult to digest it for a while. Fortunately, with the assistance of AI Jarvis, who was also a heartless being, the information was finally transmitted.
The golden cudgel began to gradually become thinner, one end shrank to the size of a needle, and then to the size of a silk thread, and it actually went through Wen Rui's palm and into his body.
The golden threads extended infinitely within his body, and the golden light emitted penetrated his skin and muscles. One could see the golden threads weaving through his palms, under the skin of his arms, and entangled within his muscles and bones.
This time, the Dragon Girl was completely confused. She thought Wen Rui was going to swing the golden cudgel around randomly, or even smash something to test its destructive power, so she tried to dissuade him.
But she never thought that the mortal man could control it in this way, and it seemed that he wanted to take the Dinghai Shenzhen into his body.
What would it feel like to have an iron rod weighing 13,500 kilograms stuffed into your body?
How can a mortal body withstand such a foreign object in the body?
Dragon girl Ao Lan was extremely confused.
Wen Rui wanted to get the Ruyi Jingu Bang, not to use it as a stick like a monkey, but to find suitable materials for his artificial meridians.
After much thought and searching throughout the three realms, he found that only the Ruyi Jingu Bang could be used. This stick can be big or small, thick or thin, and can be changed as he wishes.
When it is big, it can reach the sky and the earth; when it is small, it can be hidden in the ears.
Then it can become infinitely thinner, reaching an extremely fine microscopic scale, and penetrate into the body, weaving into meridians to guide the power of Hunyuan.
The golden cudgel is a treasure refined by Laozi, the sage of Hunyuan. It is one of the few materials in the world that cannot be destroyed by the power of Hunyuan.
Both its plasticity and energy carrying capacity meet the standards. After being refined and recognized as the master, it can be changed as desired and shaped according to thoughts. It is truly a perfect artificial meridian material.
With the Ruyi Jingu Bang meridian network installed all over his body, his physical strength can be greatly improved, just like Wolverine with an adamantium skeleton.
The only downside is that Wen Rui's weight will increase dramatically after the installation, but this is not a big problem. The gravity control unit can easily resolve it, so that the girl will not be crushed to death in the future...
As for whether this thing is the monkey’s exclusive weapon, Wen Rui doesn’t think so. The treasures of the world belong to those with virtue.
The golden cudgel is a magic weapon with acquired merits. King Yu could use it to control floods and save the world, and Wen Rui, who has great merits, could naturally use it as well.
The monkey has bones of steel, while Wen Rui has meridians of the golden hoop. The abundant materials can also weave a nanotube fiber armor under the skin, greatly increasing the body's defense.
This is the scientific understanding of “man and stick as one”.
After a long time, the golden hoop turned into extremely thin golden threads and penetrated into Wen Rui's body. His body emitted a faint golden light, and through his skin, one could see a complex meridian network that was like an integrated circuit.
The consciousness that Wen Rui transmitted to the golden cudgel was the artificial meridian design that had undergone many improvements. This design was based on the Phoenix clan's holy spirit root and had undergone multiple path optimizations by He Lingyun.
The slime mold hydrogel also contributed experience in improving the optimal transmission route.
It can be said that it is impossible for humans to possess such meridians, and it is probably difficult for a holy beast to be born naturally.
The network of meridians faintly emerging from Wen Rui's body shocked the Dragon Girl. She had thought that the meridians of the sacred beasts of the dragon clan were already the best in the world, but when she saw the artificial meridians woven by Wen Rui, she suddenly felt that her own dragon veins were not as good as before.
Wen Rui actually didn't feel good when the golden hoop entered his body. It was like a thorn piercing his body and the foreign body sensation was very strong.
The pain and numbness and itching can drive ordinary people crazy.
But Wen Rui still did not control the nanorobots in his body to cut off the nerves to block the pain.
This little physical pain is nothing compared to the experience of hell.
Cutting the nerves to turn yourself into a pain-free person will do far more harm than good. There is no point in anesthetizing yourself to relieve pain. The correct way to deal with it is to adapt to the transformed body and continue to strengthen control over it.
After the golden cudgel entered the body, the body became extremely stiff and physical strength was no longer able to control the movements.
This is normal. His mortal body's physical strength is less than one ton. How could he possibly carry a weight of 5,000 tons?
Next, he will have to undergo rehabilitation to relearn how to control his new body, just like disabled people who have installed a brain-computer interface or worn a brain-controlled exoskeleton.
