Gu Jun's fingers gently stroked the cover of this curse book. The old paper felt strange to the touch. He turned to the first page, and there was a line of text written on it, which looked like the title of the book. This kind of writing looks like Chinese characters, but it's not Dazhuan Xiaozhuan or Traditional and Simplified, but a strange font, which can be vaguely recognized as:
[The Seven Secrets of the Earth]
Over time, this curse book must have had many names, making it difficult to find its original name and find out who wrote it.
"This kind of font?" Gu Jun looked at Wu Shiyu, but she also shook her head: "It's the first time I've seen it, we don't have it like that."
As she spoke, she took another bite of the bread. Although the appearance of this piece of bread is very simple, the texture and taste are really good, and it also made her feel some pleasant music. It's just the name of this spell book that made her look straight into the abyss again.
Beware of it, said Balse the gray bearded man...
"Is this the Chinese where Mr. Balser came from?" Gu Jun felt that even if the old man came from the earth, it was not the world they knew well.
The mantra book was originally written in oracle bone inscriptions, and the subsequent translations and manuscripts are all reinterpretations no matter what the language is.
He flipped through the whole book first, but was surprised to see that except for a small part at the beginning, the words on the back paper were blurred into pieces, as if they had been soaked in water.
"Mr. Balser, what's going on?" Gu Jun opened the book and turned to ask the gray-bearded old man in the distance, shouldn't the gift be like this
"This book has one secret chapter after another." The gray bearded old man said calmly, "In your opinion, those words are vague, but in my opinion, they are all very clear. I haven't walked the road ahead, You can't get to the back seat."
Gu Jun understood, that is to say, he had to practice chapter by chapter. At that moment, he began to read the first secret chapter.
Although the characters in the curse book are weird, he and Wu Shiyu can still recognize them together, but the style of the curse book is extremely obscure, like "A movement must have a form, a bird will not be lost", "There is no sun, no moon, no sky and no time". It feels like I know every word, but I don't know what it means when I put it together.
"The names of your western medicines are exactly the same as what I see." Wu Shiyu described it like this.
"The name of the medicine has a chemical structure, but this one doesn't seem to have it." Gu Jun said, remembering the sentence taught by Mr. Ulam in the illusion before, the spell book has its spirit and vitality, and the old man Balser also meant the same , Langton also said in the curse book notes that the words written are not the point.
The focus is on the power in words, touch and feel with spirit.
"Try it." Gu Jun confessed to Wu Shiyu that if he has any abnormalities, he must wake him up in time.
Then he gathered his energy and began to touch the words of the first secret chapter, not thinking about what they meant, but trying to connect each word into his mind, feeling the power of their composition... The name of the medicine has a chemical structure, and the mantra also has a structure yes...
Like a living being.
Gu Jun suddenly remembered a concept in biology, structure determines function.
It is the structure of the wings that determines the way of flying, and the structure of the lungs determines the way of breathing. Humans are different from birds and dead skin people.
The protein structure determines the function of the enzyme, the dna structure determines how the gene operates, and the neural structure determines how to act and how to think...
He thought of "connectomics" to figure out how the brain works by comprehensively mapping the structure of brain regions and neuronal networks in the nervous system. The so-called "spirit" may belong to this category... to those extremely complex synapses, neurons, and connection networks.
"Let its spirit transform your spirit, and let its life force transform your life force."
Gu Jun suddenly understood that Teacher Wulem's words were not a metaphor, but a situation that would actually happen. The power of this secret seal was clearly resonating with his body.
Practicing the spellbook changes the structure of the neuronal network! A real physical change.
The dense erosion lines on the bones of the ghoul Chen Fade... Are those similar to some kind of neural circuit
He suddenly became more enlightened, and felt some shadows surging. This feeling was like they were outside the cave at that time, and Chen Fade was summoning those giant bats in the cave, and the surrounding abnormal fluctuations...
"Hmm." Gu Jun came back to his senses, because he had a lot of questions, so he stopped practicing first.
"This first secret chapter seems to be a summoning spell." He questioned Wu Shiyu suspiciously, "but I don't know what it is called."
Wu Shiyu didn't think much of it, but the gray-bearded old man in the distance seemed surprised, and murmured: "You are very talented."
If I have the talent, you can teach me more. Gu Jun immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Balser, will practicing the spell book change your mind and body?"
"You already have this understanding?" The gray bearded old man looked at him, "You are very talented. Then you should understand, how can an ordinary mind and body receive extraordinary power? The spell book will change you. This change is Whether it’s good or bad is up to you.”
Gu Jun frowned and touched his head, sure enough...
If human beings have enough cognition in the field of connectomics, if the neuron network is as clear as a circuit diagram, instead of being tangled like a spider web.
Then when he dissected the head of the red-robed man in the next life in the bureau before, and he dissected Chen Fade, he should have a better understanding of its mutation.
"Mr. Balser." Therefore, he had another question, "Is it a different kind of existence after I have practiced a book of spells completely? Can I still have access to other books of spells?" One of Dr. Lope's sacrifices.
"There are many sources of extraordinary power." The gray bearded old man said, "You can't touch all of them."
Gu Jun nodded slightly, the reason is simple...
The spellbooks practiced by R'lyye believers are different from those of ghouls, and those of ghouls are also different from those of aliens.
They have different worships, different sources of power.
Therefore, there is a division of the source of power in the mantra book, whichever category you fix, it seems that you can only develop in that category in the future.
"Then what source does the "Seven Secrets of the Earth" belong to?" He asked again, the gods of the earth, the seven secrets of the earth
"Knowing too much is not good for you." The gray bearded old man just said, "Just practicing the first secret chapter will not change you much, and the third secret chapter is the choice."
"Oh." Gu Jun was silent. This kind of thing is the same as filling in the major after the college entrance examination. It must be considered comprehensively and carefully selected.
In his own situation, it should be more suitable to practice the spell book that worships the "Goddess of Life", but now... there is no other choice.
Then Gu Jun asked some more questions, but the old man with the gray beard seemed to have finished his words and didn't answer a word.
After him, Wu Shiyu also tried to practice the first secret chapter, she could feel the spiritual contact, although not as fast as him, she could still get started.
The sea was always foggy, and they were talking while looking at the spell book. It had only been five or six hours since they got on the boat, and the shadow of the island gradually appeared in the fog ahead. The island was not that big. There are mountains in the distance, the reefs on the shore are messy, and the woods are dark and gloomy.
Gu Jun looked at the deserted island in front of him, and felt that it was there.
"That's where you are going, get ready to disembark." The old man with gray beard said calmly, "The storm is coming soon."
