Chapter 174: On the Strength and Weakness of Supernatural Powers
For this reason, Jiang Chen decided to find someone with advanced luck who could cast the Seven Nail Head Arrows for him.
There is a pitfall in this matter, so the candidate must not be found among his own people. Jiang Chen thought about it for a long time, and then he set his sights on the Xiongnu nobles.
First of all, the Xiongnu nobles are protected by the Xiongnu luck. The higher their status, the stronger their luck, which can just meet the conditions for casting spells.
Secondly, the Jinren were sacred objects to the Huns. If the Huns were chosen to cast spells, the connection between the two would undoubtedly be deeper.
In the end, even if such a person dies, Jiang Chen will not feel sad.
Of course, Jiang Chen's initial plan was to find Sun Wukong to use this magical power. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was a little unreasonable to deceive Sun Wukong like this. Moreover, with the shrewdness of the monkey, he might not be fooled.
Without preventing more troubles, Jiang Chen gave up the idea.
Oh, what a pity.
In terms of Sun Wukong's luck, if he were allowed to cast a spell, let alone the remaining soul of the wolf, he would definitely die even if he was in peak condition.
…
…………
Huo Qubing's mobility was very strong. In just half a day, he had prepared everything and started to perform the method.
On a hillside, Sun Wukong watched the uncle of the Xiongnu Chanyu doing a gang fight there, and asked Jiang Chen with some curiosity: "Is your magical power really that powerful? Just by worshiping here for a few days, you can conquer people."
Kill them invisible?"
Lying on the hillside, Jiang Chen crossed his legs, holding a piece of weed in his mouth, and said in a somewhat nonchalant manner: "Remove the word 'really'. My magical power is so strong, it is recorded in the Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang"
Supreme supernatural power."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen glanced at Sun Wukong and said, "I'm talking about monkeys. It's just that Huo Qubing has never heard of Zhao Gongming's name. How come you haven't heard of it either?"
"That is the true king of heaven, one of the most righteous gods. His status is much higher than that of a grass-headed general like me and your inferior Bima Wen."
"You've never heard of this. How did you become an official that day? Did you buy it with money?"
Hearing the word "Bimawen", Sun Wukong seemed to be greatly stimulated. He bared his teeth at Jiang Chen and said: "You little thief, if you mention the word "Bimawen" again, don't blame me, Sun Wukong, for falling out with you.
.”
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it." Seeing Sun Wukong's bloodshot eyes, Jiang Chen quickly stopped talking.
This is almost going against the grain. It seems that Sun Wukong is very angry with Heaven.
After this incident, Sun Wukong stopped asking Jiang Chen about the seven arrows nailed to the head, and instead turned his attention to other places.
"That little thief, you just said that your magical power comes from the Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang, is that true?"
Sun Wukong was familiar with the Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang. Back then, Patriarch Bodhi took out two techniques, the Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang and the Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Evil, and asked him which one he should learn.
The monkey at that time was so naive and didn't understand anything. Hearing thirty-six and seventy-two, he naturally chose the higher one.
Patriarch Bodhi did not explain, he just smiled and taught Sun Wukong whatever he learned. This made the monkey always think that the seventy-two transformations of Earth Evil were indeed more powerful than the thirty-six transformations.
But now that he saw Jiang Chen using his magical power, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. The power of this Tiangang magical power seemed to be stronger than that of Disha Seventy-Two.
Suspicious in his heart, Sun Wukong asked unintentionally: "Your magical power is called the Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang, but my magical power is called the Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Evil, which is twice as many transformations as yours."
"It seems like my magical powers are more powerful."
Sun Wukong also knew that Jiang Chen had a great background and had a strong family background. He knew far more about the magical powers in the world than he, a monkey who knew nothing.
That's why he asked this question, intending to find out the difference between the two from Jiang Chen's mouth.
Seeing Sun Wukong's little thoughts, Jiang Chen didn't point it out. He just said with a smile: "You monkey, it's interesting. You actually use the amount of magical power to measure the strength of a skill. If it were spread, wouldn't it make people angry?
The world is laughing at you?"
"Moreover, the names of the magical powers of the thirty-six transformations of Tiangang are all four characters; the names of the magical powers of the seventy-two transformations of Earthly Evil are all two characters."
"According to your calculation, Tiangang's magical power has two more characters than Earth's magical power. Doesn't that mean that Tiangang's magical power is stronger than Earth's magical power?"
Being teased like this by Jiang Chen, Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He was indeed a bit stupid before.
However, in the end, it was curiosity about which of the two magical powers was stronger than the guilt in his heart, and Sun Wukong opened his mouth and asked: "In your opinion, which of the two magical powers is stronger and which is weaker?"
Regarding this question, Jiang Chen's answer is very definite, that is, the power of Tiangang is strong!
The Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang he refined were made by heaven and earth. The supreme supernatural powers that were born naturally during the prehistoric times were imprinted in heaven and earth. They were collected and sorted out by Taoist ancestor Hongjun himself.
Needless to say, that power is absolutely top-notch. Even the saints marveled at it and called it the master outline of Taoist supernatural powers.
Although Jiang Chen has never seen Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations of Earthly Evil, judging from his performance, it is a bit mysterious, but compared with the thirty-six transformations of the original Tiangang, the gap is still quite big.
Regardless of these, just talking about the intentions of these two magical powers, they are completely different.
The thirty-six transformations of Tiangang are the elaboration of Tao, while the seventy-two transformations of Earthly Evil are the application of magic.
There is a saying that goes well, if you use thousands of spells and make them change in all kinds of ways, if you don't know the truth, it will all come to nothing.
Tao is the root of everything.
From a conceptual point of view, the two are superior to each other.
Empress Jiutian Xuannv once said: "This earth evil method is a heretical way, and it is useless to learn it."
Empress Jiutian Xuannv, a true Xuanmen boss, her elders have said so, which shows that this is the mainstream in the prehistoric times.
The Disha method is not as good as the Tiangang method.
Moreover, in the inheritance of Emperor Xi, there is only the Tiangang method, but there is no Earthly Evil method. It can be seen that the Taoist ancestor also disdained the Earthly Evil method.
Well, Jiang Chen has very good reasons to prove that the thirty-six transformations of Tiangang are stronger than the seventy-two transformations of Earthly Evil, but he cannot tell Sun Wukong about these.
Because he couldn't explain where he got this information. The Jiang family's history books would not record these things. And even if they were recorded, Jiang Chen would not be able to see them.
…
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen said: "Monkey, you are putting the cart before the horse. What is strong and weak? The so-called magical powers are just means. There is no need to take them too seriously. After all, monks must still put their realm first."
"When you reach a higher realm, you can see through the essence of all things at a glance. With a wave of your hand, the power of heaven and earth follows you, and the power of rules echoes. This is incomparable to any magical power."
"Furthermore, there is no superiority in Tao, but there are differences between people. The strength of magical powers ultimately depends on the caster himself."
