Xiya has been in a foreign land for so long, and naturally has come into contact with many things related to Taoist Heming. In her understanding, Taoist Heming should have ascended long ago, and his will has become an existence like those evil gods in foreign lands. Only the remaining
The lower bodies were scrambled for.
From the perspective of the "now" ruined city, he was at least a few hundred years ago. How could he still be alive today?
"To be precise, if you define death by the cessation of consciousness, then Taoist Heming has never died. If you define death by abandoning the body, then Taoist Heming has died long ago."
Stone shook out the ashes from his pipe.
"I don't like the way you talk."
Shia spoke frankly, at least Drizzt would not say such vague words with unclear meaning.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shia, my profession makes me accustomed to remaining mysterious. If telling only half of the truth can achieve my goal, then the remaining half of the truth can be sold at a good price. Of course, in front of the God's Chosen One, I
Will pay attention to myself."
Stone explained that he did not mean any harm and then explained.
"According to my investigation and Mr. Drizzt's, Taoist Heming has indeed ascended. The so-called ascension is the same as sublimation. He mastered a lot of seriously contaminated knowledge in the ruined capital, and may have even faced some great beings.
When the pollution reaches a certain limit, he loses his human body and becomes an existence like those monsters."
"His human remains contain great pollution. They are divided and collected by his disciples. Sometimes they are sold in the underground black market of the abandoned city. Those rich and stupid guys will spend a lot of money to buy them and grind them into powder.
Then consume it in an attempt to increase your strength or extend your life."
"Of course, in the initial period, these powders can indeed bring them extraordinary feelings. They can feel that their bodies have become younger, their muscles have become stronger, their vision has broadened, and their thinking has become clearer. This is
Because pollution brings power, but then, within a few years, most of these people will fall into madness because of the whispers that echo in their ears all the time, and eventually end up miserable."
"Despite this, the remains of Taoist Heming are still in high demand. People always have a sense of luck. They always think that they will not be the one in trouble, but no one knows. They are like moths flying into the fire.
Running wildly towards destruction without even realizing it.”
Having said this, Stone sighed.
These stupid rich people are rushing towards pollution, but so are the chosen ones...
The Chosen Ones first entered the Silent Land for power, to change their lives, and to pursue knowledge.
But as the missions were carried out again and again, and the truth of the foreign land was gradually revealed, the Chosen Ones discovered that it was not they who were chasing knowledge, but knowledge chasing them. Despite this, the Chosen Ones must continue to go deep into the foreign lands to master more power.
Otherwise, you will fall into madness or die directly.
The more powerful the Chosen One is, the more tasks he has experienced, the lower his sanity will be, and the closer he will be to madness.
A moth flies into a flame, which is what God's chosen one is talking about.
"As for the spirit or soul of Taoist Heming, this involves the state after sublimation, or in other words, the state of becoming a god."
After considering the words for a moment, Stone said.
"When the knowledge that humans endure reaches a certain limit, their bodies collapse and their souls become alienated, they will degenerate into monsters. However, there are exceptions. If you do not passively accept the infusion of knowledge, but actively seek knowledge, then there is a certain probability that it will not
You will completely lose your mind, but you can still survive a little, or you can use some special means to block the erosion of knowledge on yourself, or you can preserve your will."
When Lu Tan heard this, he thought of Mr. Xuan.
Drizzt must have suffered the pollution of the old ruler level, but his will can still be maintained and continued to a certain extent. From the perspective of ordinary people, Drizzt has become Xuanjun.
He is a demigod-like being.
Therefore, as long as you endure pollution under certain circumstances, you may sublimate and become a god.
"Taoist Heming has sublimated, but he has not completely sublimated. He uses a rather rough and primitive sublimation method to keep the pollution in the body, and the soul leaves the body to find new support, thus avoiding pollution to the greatest extent.
Next, gain the most knowledge.”
Stone explained.
"Huh? This way of describing it"
Lu Tan quickly thought of his lost crowbar.
When Lu Jian holds the crowbar, the corresponding method of using the crowbar will cover his brain like a spider web, and knowledge will flow into his mind. Once he lets go of the crowbar, the corresponding knowledge will disappear.
It did not cause serious pollution to the land.
This method of engraving knowledge on items can avoid contamination to a certain extent. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Once something leaves your hands, it no longer belongs to you, and the power is given to others.
For Taoist Heming, the body is also an object.
He left part of the serious pollution on his body and scattered it in various places. His spirit remained rational and hibernated in the abandoned city. One day, the pollution could be slowly digested and he adapted, and then he could get it back through some method.
The body is constantly moving towards higher levels of pollution.
"Maybe Taoist Heming will listen to what we have to say now."
Stone smiled.
"What do you know about Conjuring Night?"
Shia asked again.
Resurrection of the dead is also a taboo topic in the Kingdom of Darkness. Even if one masters magic, people cannot be resurrected from the dead, but this soul-calling night in the abandoned city seems to hint that the dead may be resurrected.
"Soul-calling is a hidden custom in China. Only a few people know about it. These people are usually believers of the Heming sect. They believe that as long as the soul-calling ceremony is performed on the ninth day after the death of the deceased, the soul of the deceased will be
It will return to the body and be resurrected. Before that, the body needs to be kept intact or replaced with a fresher body."
Stone said as he recalled.
"The followers of the Heming Sect have done some illegal things for this reason. As you all know, those rich and powerful people dream of resurrecting from the dead, while the flattering subordinates will go to please them.
Kill those young men and use them as ritual sacrifices."
"How stupid."
Shia scoffed at this.
"Then will this ceremony be successful, or is it just a scam by the Heming Sect, similar to me, Taoist Heming, making money?"
Lu Jian asked.
"At least as far as I know, there are no successful examples."
Stone said, but soon changed the subject.
"But it is said that Taoist Heming himself used a similar method to regain his soul."
