"Yiran says the word 'light' has mind power." As soon as Ke Xun finished the first sentence, Mu Yiran understood what he was thinking, and then fell into deep thought. Ke Xun glanced at him and lowered his voice. A little lower, "that is to say, each word, according to the amount of feelings and wishes people put on it, also has a greater or lesser power of thought.
"Comrades, haven't you forgotten - whether it is the "Shan Hai Tu" on the Jiuding or the "Shan Hai Tu" on the ghost altar, they are all composed of ghost texts!
"The words used to do witchcraft are of course more powerful, so that ancestor said 'get the Jiudingtu, get the power of witchcraft', the power of witchcraft is ghost writing The mind power attached to it is also the mind power of people!"
"Yes! That's right, that's it!" Several people agreed in unison.
Ke Xun waved his hand, indicating that he had not finished speaking: "Yi Ran once said that the power of mind is a very powerful force, and a powerful power of mind can even fight against gods and demons. An example is the painting I once wrote in "Faith" Here's what happened here...
"So, I think the power of mind may play a very important role in solving the problem. Didn't the ancestors in the postscript also mention that the words 'inaccessible to the body, only to the heart' means the human mind— Isn't the mind the power of the mind? The ancestors also said that the power of the mind should not be underestimated, and they finally planned to 'break the realm with mind', so they should also be aware of the role of mind power."
"I think your statement is too idealistic," said the pragmatic Li Xiaochun, "I yearn every day to become rich, and I feel that my willpower is already very strong, but I never get rich. He's still a wandering wage earner."
Ke Xun: "..."
"And since I encountered the bad thing of being a painter, I have been desperately longing every day that I can survive and get rid of this incident, which is stronger than the idea of getting rich," Li Xiaochun continued, "But look at how it is now. , Isn't it still forced to come here, and there is a possibility of death at all times, so the mind power or something, there is a fart."
"If it doesn't work, how do you explain the power of witchcraft in "Shan Hai Tu"?" Zhu Haowen looked at him, "How do you explain the 'light' strike? How do you explain the idol blessing curse?"
"And if you think the concept of mind power is too metaphysical," Mu Yiran said, "then we can also give it a more scientific explanation, that is, ghost text is a kind of energy field.
"The essence of matter is energy. Microscopic particles generate vibration when they move, and vibration generates energy. And these ghost texts, their composition may be the same as the principle of Jiuding resonating powerful infrasound waves. Different compositions or writing methods , shape, can produce vibrations of different frequencies, and vibrations of different frequencies can affect different substances accordingly.
"Therefore, to say that "Shan Hai Tu" has the power of witchcraft and mind, it is actually a powerful energy field. When this energy field is cast on the Jiuding, it can resonate with suitable infrasound frequencies and spread them. go.
"And after the image of this energy field is implanted into the bone phase, it is combined with the human energy field. Although it does not have the powerful force and striking effect of Jiuding, it can also be used to seal the altar and affect the energy generated by the altar. Temporarily suspend the demon's behavior of using the altar to perform the idol blessing and curse technique and charge towards the ground."
Li Xiaochun was speechless, rubbing his forehead and said, "Okay, I admit, mind power is useful, but that's something that only a great witch can use freely. I think it's not enough for ordinary people like us."
"Mind power is very useful," Zhu Haowen no longer looked at him, but turned to look at everyone, "The ancestor in Qin Shi mentioned, 'With a single strand of spiritual knowledge, a demon can be sealed away from the world for a hundred years', here's 'spirit' Consciousness, I think also refers to the power of mind.
"Of course, he is a metaphysician. He has the ability to use his own mind power to seal demons for a hundred years. Maybe we can too. We have bones, and bones are the inheritance of mind power. Although we are just ordinary people, we have been blessed. This powerful mind power can also be used to seal the demon for another hundred years.
"But the premise is most likely... we need to die."
"But we don't want to die..." Wei Dong said. "Everyone is dead, so what kind of mind power is there..."
"Why can't we do it?" Ke Xun and Zhu Haowen said in unison.
"Ah?" Wei Dong and a few others looked at the two blankly.
"Remember the painting 'Schrödinger's Cat'?" Ke Xun looked at several old members who had experienced the painting together, "Human body and consciousness are two kinds of substances, the body is dead, the consciousness is lost. Gotta die!"
"Ah!" Wei Dong suddenly realized something.
"So this is the truth of how many generations of forerunners decided to sacrifice?" Fang Fei's eyes also flickered, "They know that only consciousness can seal the ghost, so they decided to leave the body without hesitation. The bones attached to the body are not for control. The body is waiting for the consciousness to emerge from the body."
"Yes... yes," Shao Ling murmured, thinking, "We ordinary people may not be able to control our consciousness after death, but the master of the ancestors can, and the mind power of the "Shan Hai Tu" can be used. So they We need to sacrifice our own consciousness, or to sacrifice our souls. After that, the consciousness that emerges from the body and the mind power of the bones can be combined to become a seal, blocking the energy field of the ghost altar, and continuing to seal the ghosts in It's been underground for hundreds of years."
"So," Mu Yiran opened his mouth, looking at Ke Xun's face, his eyes were the sadness that only appeared in the painting "Reverse Journey", "so the painting in "Reverse Journey" is a clue for us, It is 'all of us united to take this step, although this step may be backward, but this backward step is to move forward in the long run. Although this step backward may be an abyss, but the exchange is eternal of light'."
Ke Xun looked at him. He remembered what Ke Xun said in another timeline better than anyone else.
"So in fact, as early as "Reverse Journey", the behind-the-scenes power of the painting has already been told to us," Zhu Haowen's eyes stared at the cold ground under his feet, "We can only sacrifice ourselves, only by death, in exchange for this world. Only in peace can we retain eternal light for the human species.
"But the world doesn't need us to save it, it just needs us to seal this little altar with our own lives.
"We are actually like a remote control - no, we are not even a remote control, we are at best the batteries of the remote control, the "Shan Hai Tu" is the remote control, put our batteries on it, and then put it on the remote control With one click, we can stop nuclear weapons from destroying the earth, and we are just a tool, what really saves the earth is the hand that allows us to power up and press on the remote control."
Luo Ye's eyes were red next to him, and tears fell on the ground beneath his feet.
"Actually, we guessed it right," Qin Ci sighed softly, "there are indeed two forces behind the scenes in the entire painting incident. One is a ghost from the ground, and the other is from the ground. It is a combination of the power of witchcraft, the power of prayer of the great witch, and the mind power of the masters of metaphysics, and has the power of inheritance.
"But we guessed one thing completely wrong, that is, it is not the power of demons and ghosts that always wants us to die in the painting, but the power of thought that belongs to the human side.
"The ghosts hope that all of us will survive, but the inherited power of human beings hopes that all of us will die, because only when all of us die, the thirteen bones of Jiuding and Earth Dimension can be combined with the consciousness that emerges from our body. Two for one, seal the demons and start a new century of suppression.
"It wasn't until now that I suddenly realized that the first painting that Xiaomu and I entered, "The Evidence of a Free Mind", the clues it implied were not what needs to be judged by heart. It has already told us that the righteous side we thought wanted to kill us, and the evil side we thought wanted us to live.
"But these two forces, who is good, who is evil, who is right, and who is wrong, is probably the most tangled and difficult to define for us painters... This is probably the real The profound meaning of the freedom of the mind."
"Then I don't quite understand," Wu You said with red eyes, "Since the righteous side wants us to die, why doesn't it give us an easy way to die, why do such horrible things happen in the painting to kill us? To this day, when I think of He Tang's death, I still feel cold and unbearable."
"The form of painting should be born out of idol blessing." Mu Yiran said, "Painting is also a kind of 'idol'. In ancient times, painting was the most important way of recording and dissemination. As for what we said before The word 'light' is originally a pictograph and a picture symbol, so it is also necessary to regard it as a painting.
"The illusion in the painting appears at the weak point where the yin and yang meet, and it may be that the two forces of demons and humans use the idol blessing and curse technique to compete with each other.
"And the word 'curse' of Zhujutsu has a ferocious meaning to do harm. I don't think the nature of this spell can be determined by the strength of both parties.
"In addition, in the painting, the forces of the two sides are evenly matched, and no one can control the other. The two sides have always been in a state of mutual restraint, mutual influence, and entanglement. I'm afraid it's not something that one of the forces can decide alone."
"Then we... Then what should we do?" Li Xiaochun asked at a loss, "I really can only sacrifice myself and hand over my soul? Is there really no way to survive?"
Everyone is silent.
Although all the ins and outs have been sorted out, even though I have understood the principles of methods to deal with demons and ghosts, there is still no way, no way not to sacrifice one's own life.
Mind power may be useful, mind power may be powerful enough to fight against gods and demons, but everyone knows that death of the body is the real death for human beings. Floating, unable to do anything, what's the point of 'living' like that
The twilight, like death, silently descends around the entrants.
"...There's really no way..." Wei Dong said in despair as he shrank in the cold whirlwind that gradually rolled up.
"...There is no other way." Shao Ling's eyes melted into the gloomy twilight, floating as desolation as mountains.
"I... I don't want to die..." Luo Yan choked, his body shaky.
Ke Xun raised his drooping eyelids and looked at everyone: "Time is running out, let's bury these ancestors' wills back to their original places, add these clues we have sorted out, and put all of our previous notes on it. Infer it."
Everyone silently turned around the tent, filled in the clues again, and returned to the rock where the posthumous note was buried before it was completely dark.
In the same way, put the wills of the ancestors back to their original places, and put everyone's things on the top.
Just when Gu Qingqing was about to put in the clues written on paper, she was suddenly stopped by Ke Xun.
She raised her eyes to look at Ke Xun, and saw some light reflected in his dark pupils, and said to her, "Qingqing, please add a few words at the end of the paper."
"Okay, what do you want to write?" Gu Qingqing took out the pen and turned to the last page of the paper.
"Just write," Ke Xun's eyes were darker than the night, "the heavens are clear, the evil does not overwhelm the righteous, but for the sake of the common people, how lucky I am!"
