Chapter 172: Seeking a Monthly Ticket for the Seven Secrets of the Earth
Gu Jun's fingers gently touched the cover of the curse book. The old paper felt strange to the touch. He turned over the first page, and there was a line of text written on it, which looked like the title of the book. The text looked like Chinese characters.
, but it is not a large seal or a small seal or traditional or simplified, but a strange font that can be vaguely recognized as:
【Seven Secrets of the Earth】
Over the course of 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: "This is the first time I've seen it, we don't have anything like this."
She said and took another bite of bread. Although this loaf of bread looked very plain, its texture and taste were really good, and it also made her feel some sweet music. But the name of this curse book made her feel like she was
He looked into the abyss.
The gray-bearded old man Barser said, be careful with it...
"Is this the Chinese word for where Mr. Balcer comes from?" Gu Jun felt that even if the old man came from the earth, he was not from the world they were familiar with.
The original version of the curse book was probably written in oracle bone script, and subsequent translations and manuscripts, no matter what language they are in, are also a re-interpretation.
He flipped through the whole book first, but was surprised to see that except for a small part at the beginning, the text on the back paper was blurred into pieces, as if it had been soaked in water and blurred.
"Mr. Balcer, what's going on?" Gu Jun opened the book and turned to ask the gray-bearded old man in the distance, "Don't give me this gift, right?"
"This book has one secret chapter after another." The gray-bearded old man said calmly, "In your opinion, those are vague words, but in my opinion, they are all very clear. I have not walked the road ahead,
You can't get to the back."
Gu Jun understood that it meant that he had to practice chapter by chapter. At that moment, he began to read the first secret chapter.
Although the text in the curse book was weird, he and Wu Shiyu could still recognize it together. However, the style of the curse book was extremely obscure, like "the action must have a form, the bird must not be lost", "there is no sun, no moon, no sky and no hour", read
It feels like I know every word, but I don’t know what it means when put together.
"The names of your Western medicines are exactly the same as mine." Wu Shiyu described it this way.
"The name of the medicine has a chemical structure, but this one doesn't seem to have one." Gu Jun said, remembering the words taught by Teacher Urum in the previous vision. The curse book has its own spirit and vitality. The old man Barce also meant this.
, Langton also said in the curse book notes that the words written are not the key.
The focus is on the power in words, which should be touched and felt with the spirit.
"Let's give it a try." Gu Jun told Wu Shiyu that if he had any abnormality, he should wake him up in time.
Then he gathered his energy and began to come into contact with the words of the first secret chapter. He didn't think about what they meant. He just tried to connect each word into his mind and feel the power they formed... The name of the medicine has a chemical structure, and so does the incantation.
It's structural...
Just like a living thing.
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 that determines the way of breathing. There is a difference between humans, birds, and dead skinned humans.
The protein structure determines the function of enzymes, the DNA structure determines how genes operate, and the nerve structure determines how to act and think...
He thought of "connectomics", which aims to understand the operating mechanism of the brain by comprehensively mapping brain regions and the structure of neuron networks in the nervous system. The so-called "psychology" may fall into this category... Belong to those extremely complex
Various synapses, various neurons, various connection networks.
"Let its spirit transform your spirit, and let its vitality transform your vitality."
Gu Jun suddenly understood that what Teacher Urum said was not a metaphor, but a real situation. This secret power was clearly resonating with his body.
Practicing the mantra will change the structure of the neuron network! Real physiological changes.
The bones of the ghoul Chen Fade are densely covered with corrosion patterns... Are those similar to some kind of neural circuits?
He suddenly became more enlightened, and he felt some shadows surging. It felt like they were outside the cave at that time, and Chen Fade was summoning those giant bats in the cave, and there were abnormal fluctuations around him...
"Hmm." Gu Jun came to his senses as soon as he thought about it, but he stopped practicing because he had many questions.
"This first secret chapter seems to be a summoning spell." He asked Wu Shiyu suspiciously, "But I don't know what it is summoning."
Wu Shiyu had no idea after hearing this, but the gray-bearded old man in the distance seemed surprised and murmured: "You are very talented."
If I have talent, please teach me more. Gu Jun immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Balcer, will practicing the spell book change your mind and body?"
"Do you already have this understanding?" Old Man Gray Beard looked at him, "You are very talented. Then you should understand how an ordinary mind and body can accept extraordinary power? The curse book will change you. This change is
Whether it's good or bad is up to you."
Gu Jun frowned and touched his head, and sure enough...
If humans have enough knowledge in the field of connectomics, if the neuronal network is as clear as a circuit diagram instead of as tangled as a spider web.
Then when the Bureau dissected the head of the red-robed man in the afterlife before, and when he dissected Chen Fade, he should have a better understanding of its mutations.
"Mr. Balcer." He therefore had another question, "After practicing a spell book, does it become another kind of existence? Can you still access other spell books?" This is the card.
One of Dr. Lopp's sacrifices.
"There are many sources of extraordinary power." Old Man Gray Hu said, "You can't come into contact with every one of them."
Gu Jun nodded slightly, the truth is quite simple...
The incantation books practiced by R'lye believers are different from those of ghouls, and those of ghouls are also different from those of Yiwen people.
They have different worships and different sources of power.
Therefore, mantra books are divided into sources of power. Which category you have cultivated, it seems that you can only develop into 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?
"It's not good for you to know too much." Old Man Gray Beard just said, "Just practicing the first secret chapter won't change you. The third secret chapter is the choice."
"Oh." Gu Jun was silent. This kind of thing is just like filling out the major after the college entrance examination. It must be considered comprehensively and chosen carefully.
Based on his own situation, it would be more suitable to practice the incantation of worshiping the "Goddess of Life", but now... there is no other choice.
Then Gu Jun asked some more questions, but the gray-bearded old man seemed to have stopped talking and did not answer another sentence.
After him, Wu Shiyu also tried to practice the first secret chapter. She could feel the spiritual contact. Although she was not as fast as him, she could still get started.
The sea was always foggy, and they were looking at the spell book and chatting. About five or six hours had passed since they boarded the boat. The shadow of the island gradually appeared in the fog in front of them. The island was not big.
There are mountains in the distance, the rocks on the shore are messy, and the woods are dark and gloomy.
Gu Jun stared at the deserted island in front of him, feeling that it was there.
"That's where you want to go. Get ready to disembark." The gray-bearded old man said calmly, "The storm is coming."
