Chapter 62 At the beginning of the ancient times, who preached the gospel?
Bai Ya has fallen into a deep sleep again, but the turbulent emotions in Meng Zhou's heart have not calmed down for a long time.
"Whatever profession you think it is, it is that profession." Bai Ya said.
"What do you mean?" Meng Zhou was confused.
"My mother-in-law said that a long time ago, there was neither such a systematic and rigorous practice method as practicing Qi, building foundations and forming pills, nor such clearly defined professions as Alchemist, Weapon Refiner, Formation Master, and Talisman Maker.
These are the results of continuous improvement by later generations."
"Even the name Knot Master was forcibly placed on it by later generations after the professional system became more and more complete.
In the ancient times when almost everyone was a knot master, there was no such thing."
"Everyone is a knot master?" Meng Zhou exclaimed.
"Yes, uncle, do you think the knot master is mysterious?
If you really want to say it, you can understand the rope knotter as a profession that uses ropes as a tool and knotting techniques to achieve various purposes.
Everyone has access to ropes, which can be tied with the simplest knots, tied up, or used to weave various living utensils, including embroidery and textiles. These return to the original, all knotted with ropes, and can naturally be regarded as ropes.
"Jie Shi."
“Of course, this is just the most common field, but there are also people who use these to do many incredible things.
In an era before writing, paper and pen, some people tied ropes to record events and recorded ancient history through ropes.
Someone can communicate with ancient times through ropes and read history.
Some people use it as a tool to connect the nature of heaven and earth, and use it to imitate all phenomena of heaven and earth.
Some people use it to divine good and bad luck, predict prosperity and decline..."
"However, these mythical abilities are too far away from ordinary knot masters.
But my mother-in-law said that as long as you can master the knotting technique, the abilities of many existing professions can be achieved through the knotting method.
For example, the best vine armor knitted by my mother-in-law has a defensive effect no worse than a first-level mid-level defensive magic weapon.
She can also use the knotting method to perfectly reproduce the effects of some first-level low-grade talismans.
She also said that it was just because she was not talented enough, otherwise, she could use the rope-tying method to reproduce both the formation path and the alchemy path."
If the knot master is so good, how could the predecessors create more and more professions and not just stick to the knot master?
The answer is also very simple.
The path of the knot master is difficult to pass on because it is too broad and directionless, and progress depends entirely on enlightenment.
Those legendary awesome characters are the most extraordinary monsters that will be hard to come by in decades and hundreds of years. There is no normal person.
Behind them becoming legends and myths, countless living beings have become mere foils, and the whole world is barren.
The biggest significance of the increasingly rich and complex professional system is that inheritance becomes easier and easier. More and more latecomers can embark on the road to heaven and see what once belonged only to the unparalleled monsters and unparalleled geniuses.
landscape.
If you look at it from this perspective, the knot master does seem to be behind the times and out of date.
However, this is not a problem with the knot master itself.
If we really want to talk about problems, the biggest problem is that there are too few unparalleled monsters.
However, Meng Zhou confidently felt that being a rope knotter was the most suitable profession for him to cultivate in the long term.
According to his understanding, the knot master is like a programmer, and the knot method is like a special programming language.
Those with poor skills may be stuck hanging around the door for the rest of their lives, but in the hands of a genius, it is a tool used by the God of Creation to edit the world, and can use it to create a new world.
Of course he is not some arrogant monster, but he still has this self-awareness.
But--
"I have a plug-in."
I don't know why, but after listening to Bai Ya's story, Meng Zhou became more interested in the profession of knot master, and also became very interested in all aspects of "a long time ago" she mentioned.
In his mind, he thought of an ancient poem for no reason.
"In the beginning of ancient times, who preached the gospel?"
“If the upper and lower parts are not formed, how can we examine them?
Who can overcome the darkness and the darkness?
Feng Yiweixiang, how to recognize it?
Light and dark, but what is time?
What is the origin and transformation of the Yin and Yang triad?
…”
Meng Zhou seemed to see a group of wise men. They were born in the most barren and desolate ancient times, but their profound wisdom penetrated time and space, looked at the origin of the avenue, and raised questions one after another.
Their clothes were simple, they might even have broken hair and tattoos, they were only wearing animal skins, and they didn't have two decent tools on their bodies.
Perhaps the only tools he had were stone hammers, stone axes, and a hemp rope hanging around his waist.
This is their only tool to explore the mountains and understand the world.
This tool is the bridge between them and the world.
…
According to what Bai Ya said before falling asleep, unlike the complicated inheritance systems of other professions, the knot master's inheritance is shockingly simple.
There is nothing more than knotting techniques.
This is the only help that knot masters can gain from their predecessors. Everything that follows depends on personal understanding.
As for whether one method can perform all methods, or whether you can't hold in a fart, it depends on the person.
Meng Zhou took off the sleeping rope spirit Bai Ya from his wrist, fluttered his fingers, and began to tie the knot from the first of the hundred knots.
Time passed slowly, and one hundred knotting methods appeared in his hands one by one. When the hundredth knotting method was born in his hands, the personal information changed as he expected.
Knot magic experience +1.
[Initial completion of hundreds of rope knot techniques: 1/200]
Meng Zhou looked at the time and made some calculations in his mind.
"After initial completion, you need to repeat hundreds of knotting methods one by one to gain +1 experience."
"Even if I am focused enough to complete hundreds of knots, it still takes about three hours, with an average of nearly two minutes per knot."
"On the premise of ensuring that my practice is not delayed, I can invest up to half of my time in this area every day, and gain +4 experience every day."
"But this is obviously not possible. Although the Knot Master has a promising future, its current help to me is very limited.
Not only do we need to think long-term, but we also need to look down at our feet and allocate some time to other areas.
It is more appropriate to devote a quarter of your time to this every day, and get +2 experience every day.”
"With the development of many martial arts skills, my hands and fingers have become very flexible.
The reason why each knot method takes two minutes is because my mastery of knot methods is still relatively shallow, and I need to constantly read and compare my memory.
If you can carve each knot method into your instinct little by little, without having to think about it at all, you can just use your hands and fingers to know how to do it, then the leveling efficiency will definitely be qualitatively improved."
…
After clarifying the time allocated to the practice of knotting and hundred techniques every day, if all the remaining free time is devoted to the practice of ice talisman and sword control, it will not take long for these two skills to be perfected.
Meng Zhou was thinking about what he should practice after he perfected these two skills.
"Take some more elective talismans?"
As soon as the idea came to mind, Meng Zhou shook his head in denial.
An important reason for choosing to make talismans before was to decipher the stone rubbings.
This historical mission has now been completed.
In addition, making talismans also brought him a lot of spiritual stone income, allowing him to establish a firm foothold in Nuanyun Valley.
But now, the number of spiritual stones he has accumulated is quite considerable. The balance from the sale of talismans and other trophies plus an astonishing amount of medical fees. Meng Zhou carefully counted them and included a small number of medium-grade spiritual stones.
, the total value of his wealth is 7545 low-grade spiritual stones.
This kind of wealth is beyond the reach of most people in the later stages of Qi training.
In other words, this kind of wealth is no longer matched by his strength. Continuing to accumulate more spiritual stones will be harmful rather than beneficial.
Moreover, he also has a large number of high-quality talismans on hand.
He is also a pharmacist whose strength has reached the peak of the first level.
With such comprehensive considerations in mind, the new academic system is not a very good choice.
"Then continue to improve your combat effectiveness."
Although his current combat effectiveness is not low, there is still huge room for improvement.
The means of protecting the path are different from those of spirit stones, and no amount of them is too much for him.
After determining the general direction, he gradually had two choices in his mind.
The first is to elect several spells to enrich the combat system.
Another one is the martial arts body horizontal training method harvested from Yan Xiong, which can more thoroughly develop the martial arts knowledge above the master, further amplify one's own advantages, and form a mismatch advantage with other Qi training monks.
Just as he was weighing the two directions in his mind, Yan Xiong finally stabilized himself and came to visit him with the lovable Miao Lin.
