Chapter 1432 Tai Chi, Liang Yi, Four Symbols and Bagua
Lan Nuo still doesn’t know yet. His so-called teacher is a Taoist who has forgotten the Taoism. Everything he taught him was deceiving him, so much so that he actually read the Taoist scriptures as if they were real. The more he read, the more interesting it became. The more he read, the more he felt
What is explained here is the underlying principle of how the world works.
After receiving the task of slaying demons, Lan Nuo left the village to make preparations. The first preparation he made was to buy pen and ink outside the village, and then write down the Tao Te Ching silently.
Taoist classics from other worlds were also written silently.
The scriptures in different worlds are also different. The scriptures in this world are useful to you, but maybe the scriptures in other worlds are more meaningful. Especially the most classic works of Taoism like the Tao Te Ching.
Lan Nuo doesn't know that for him now, as long as he finds the "Tao Te Ching" useful, it means that this classic is useful in this world. By reading this classic, he can understand something that is at least important to him.
Let’s talk about the avenue that can be cultivated.
So when he memorized the content of the "Tao Te Ching" and read it repeatedly against many Taoist classics, he suddenly had a new understanding in his heart, realizing that he was just getting started in cultivation.
From his understanding, he realized that the world was originally chaos, and Tai Chi was born from chaos. Later, Tai Chi gave birth to Liang Yi, Liang Yi gave birth to Four Symbols, and Four Symbols gave birth to Bagua. And now he is just a beginner of Bagua.
The next step is to advance the Eight Diagrams to the Four Symbols, return the Four Symbols to the Liang Yi, and return the two Yi to Tai Chi. Only then can the cultivation be considered complete.
The more Lan Nuo reads these classics, the more he feels that this cultivation path is extremely real. It even explains the origin of the operation of the world. The most important thing is that the cultivation methods he learned in this book can really improve himself step by step.
Strength.
Now he is following the cultivation method he speculated, first transitioning the Bagua to the Five Elements, and then advancing to the Four Symbols through the Five Elements.
"Practice is not something that can be accomplished in a day. If I want to reach the highest level in this world, it will definitely take a long time. I still need to improve my combat effectiveness at the moment, so as not to be killed by the opponent when I encounter monsters and monsters next time."
After Lan Nuo read Taoist classics for a day, although he gained a lot, he still felt that his strength was insufficient, or at least his knowledge was insufficient. Although his teacher gave him various precious scriptures without hesitation, he rarely gave them to him.
The introduction of the demons and monsters in this world gave him a very limited understanding of the evil spirits in this world, so that he did not have a specific concept of the strength of the enemies in this world.
But at least one thing he knows is that the monsters and ghosts in this world also have to follow the laws of physics. For example, the ghost he encountered before and was called the grandma by 80,000 people has a limited attack range and has no corresponding attack range.
You can't climb a tree with your limbs. In other words, as long as you run fast in this world, you can often avoid the attacks of monsters and monsters.
This is also true. In the world of Tao Weird Fairy, when ordinary people face evil spirits, the simplest and crudest way to survive is to avoid them and then run away desperately. Although these monsters are very strong, they may not all have the ability to move quickly.
At the market in Jianye Town, Lan Nuo, who was wearing a Taoist robe, touched the broken silver in his arms and decisively came to the blacksmith shop.
"Master, can you lend me your forge? I want to make some special iron tools."
"You? I've heard that Taoist priests can refine elixirs, but I've never heard that Taoist priests can refine iron. Can you, with your little arms and legs, handle a hammer?" The master blacksmith weighed the heavy hammer in his hand and opened it.
Rag holding a hammer.
Suddenly Lan Nuo felt an evil spirit: "Young Taoist Master, you can see clearly. This hammer I brought on the battlefield is a weapon of a military strategist. It has its own evil spirit. If you are not afraid of the evil spirit entering your body, then give it a try."
It’s okay, but if you can’t lift it, tsk tsk, then go home and nurse.”
When Lan Nuo saw the hammer, he realized that this world is definitely not just a Taoist cultivation system. The military strategist in front of him is probably also a cultivation system. And judging from the violent character of the blacksmith, the so-called evil spirit of the military strategist is very likely.
It can affect a person's character and make him irritable and irritable.
Out of caution, Lan Nuo did not touch the hammer directly, but took the first step to hold the hammer in the rehearsal. As his palm grasped the handle of the hammer, an evil spirit poured into his body, as if in an instant.
Thousands of troops and horses rushed past his eyes, and he galloped together with the thousands of troops and horses in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
An ordinary person would have been infected by this atmosphere, his eyes would be red, and he could not help but want to release the murderous intention in his heart. But the big scenes that Lan Nuo has experienced are many times bigger than this. The experience
I have been through brutal battlefields, and there are countless more cruel ones than this. I have long been able to face the killing with a normal mind, and will not be affected by the sensory stimulation of this kind of violence.
The master blacksmith looked at him in surprise as he held the hammer, but his eyes were still clear. He clapped his hands and praised: "Not bad! I underestimated you, but holding it is one thing, being able to forge weapons is another."
, can you swing the hammer?"
Lan Nuo tried the weight of the hammer in his hand. It actually weighed close to fifty kilograms. The material used was definitely not ordinary steel. Even gold did not have such density. His eyes couldn't help but shine. This was another material science that was quite incredible.
world.
Although his body has begun to bulge with some muscles due to his regular exercise these days, it is still far from the limit of the human body, and it is even further away from being able to swing a fifty-kilogram hammer at will.
But Lan Nuo was not in a hurry. He took out the broken silver coins in his pocket and threw them on the table next to him: "If I knock something of yours later, these will be used as compensation."
After saying that, Lan Nuo held the hammer with one hand and pinched the word "Zhen" with the other hand: "Shock like thunder, shocking all the world!" A bolt of lightning poured into his body, and his body suddenly exploded with power far beyond ordinary people. The hammer would
It moved and hit the red-hot iron, causing large sparks to fly.
Although the blacksmith had been in the army, this was the first time he saw a Taoist priest casting spells. He was immediately shocked. Lan Nuo was not done yet. After the hammer went down, he became familiar with the physical properties of metals in this world and clamped them with pliers.
The iron block he hammered was sent into the furnace for heating. Just as the blacksmith was about to ask his apprentice to pull the bellows, he heard Lan Nuo reciting the incantation again: "The sun is like a strong wind, destroying the dead! When it is separated, the fire will flow, and all the embers will be burned!"
Suddenly, strong winds poured into the forging furnace, and at the same time, the temperature of the flames also increased rapidly. The raging fire had the tendency to melt the forging furnace, and the surrounding layer of fireproof bricks was even burned into colored glaze.
In just a moment, the hard steel was softened by the heat, and Lan Nuo quickly found his state, and started to forge the weapons in his hands in conjunction with the so-called Taoism he had learned.
Although there are many different rules in this world, after so many days of living, at least one thing he has determined is that classical physics still applies here, water flows downwards, and the effects of forces are mutual. , inertia and mass also exist. If these rules are changed, then human beings' daily life style and the tools they use will inevitably change significantly. Even the human life form may no longer exist. .
Under the premise of confirming this, it is possible to create some small objects that can assist combat and movement by using elastic energy storage.
The Lannos consider that they have to travel through one world after another, and they are likely to lose their extraordinary abilities when crossing the world, so they have long designed many relatively primitive systems in those worlds with advanced science and technology. Under certain conditions, equipment can be crafted by hand.
Now he only needs to follow these design drawings to create a simple set of elastic energy-storage power armor without spending any extra effort on design.
Based on the principle of modular design, the first thing he created was "ammunition" that can store elastic energy. They are bullet-sized cylinders that store or release energy through the gears on the cylinder heads. When the switch releases energy, it can rotate at high speed, releasing the elasticity stored inside in a short time. After it is used up, it rotates in the opposite direction, and the ratchet structure can easily fill up the energy.
The most important reason for designing this thing is that the process of fighting consumes a lot of energy, and this bullet-like thing can be discarded directly after the energy is used up. Replacing it with a new one means The machinery on his body is recharged with energy, and each ammunition only performs one task, so that he can have enough explosive power during the battle.
Take the hook on his arm, for example. The normal design is that the claw remains retracted and compressed under normal conditions. When used, it will eject. After catching on the target, the spring will be retracted through the mechanism to pull the target back.
After this cycle is over, the spring of the hook must be manually reset so that the next cycle can be executed. However, in the case of modular design, the energy inside an ammunition is used when the hook is launched, and the energy consumption is After the ammunition is exhausted, the ammunition will be directly discarded or pushed directly into the charging slot. New ammunition will replenish the original position and provide energy for the hook claw recovery. After the recovery is completed, the ammunition that has exhausted its energy will be ejected again. Just now Replace it with a new one full of energy. In this way, whether it is the hook or other mechanical equipment, it can continue to operate. As long as the ammunition on the body is not exhausted, Lan Nuo will be able to have a weapon comparable to this world. The mobility of top players.
When Lan Nuo finished making a complete set of metal inner armor, the blacksmith who had despised him before almost knelt down and became his disciple. Although he was watching the whole process, only a few of them could understand.
Part of it, and just the part that can be understood is enough to last a lifetime.
It's a pity that Lan Nuo didn't have time to teach him. He had to get familiar with the world's worldview as soon as possible and identify the main contradictions of the world, so that he could decide what route he would take in the future.
…
Lishan Village is originally a remote village. People living in the village live a relatively comfortable life on weekdays, but recently they have been in a panic. Pedestrians on the country roads are also in a hurry, and few are willing to leave their homes.
door.
When Lan Nuo, who was wearing a gray monk's robe, came to the village, he saw many people closing their doors and windows when they saw him, as if they were avoiding the god of plague. With great difficulty, he grabbed a villager and took out a stack of copper coins.
After getting it into his hands, he found out what happened in the village.
"This is a very evil thing. There are only a few hundred people in our village. As a result, three children were lost in a row last month. Now every household is watching their children very closely, for fear that they will be accidentally killed.
The traffickers have abducted the children, and when a foreigner like you comes, the people in the village are afraid that you have abducted their children, so how can they dare to talk to you?"
Lan Nuo nodded. The situation was the same as what 80,000 people described. Children in the village were missing. His mission was to find the reason for the disappearance of these children.
"Then do you know what these missing children have in common?"
The man who was pulled shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know about this. If you really want to ask, if you see people with black cloth tied at the door of the village, go to their houses and ask. Those are the ones who have lost their children."
Lan Nuo let him go after hearing this. The village was not big, and he soon found three houses with black cloths tied at the door. Although the villagers were very repulsive to him, an outsider, he kept knocking on the door.
, I still knocked on several doors and got some useful information.
The first is the families who have lost their children. Lan Nuo is wearing a Taoist robe. It is reasonable to help them find the child by asking for the birth date. Secondly, under his repeated questioning, these three families all revealed that they were all in the family.
The child she conceived after spending a lot of money at the Shōtoku Temple.
When Lan Nuo heard the words "paying a lot of money for a son", he had already begun to doubt in his heart. After hesitating for a while, he said to the man of the house: "Can you let me talk to your wife alone? I have some questions."
If you want to ask her alone, this is related to whether your child can be recovered."
The man of the house obviously didn't look very good, but thinking about his lost child, he still nodded helplessly.
When the two of them arrived outside the house, in a secluded place in the courtyard, Lan Nuo decisively started the rehearsal. During the rehearsal, he said with a stern face: "Please tell me honestly, what did the monk from Zhengde Temple say to you? Otherwise,
I will tell the whole village that your child was born to those monks and you."
Of course, Lan Nuo didn't know where the woman's child came from, but after experiencing various tricks in the world, Lan Nuo knew very well that this kind of money seeking a child was probably not a supernatural power, but most likely through the most primitive method.
The woman was pregnant with the child. She said it in the rehearsal just to deceive the other party. You can guess the truth from the other party's reaction.
