Liu Wenjing almost spit out the tea she just drank in her stomach,
"Dancer, aren't you kidding me?"
"It's no surprise that you are born to study."
"Are you putting the cart before the horse?"
Liu Wenjing subconsciously pressed the table and leaned toward the dancing horse.
“Farmers plow the land just for the sake of plowing the land?
Do people in the world study just to study?
Soldiers fight just to fight?”
Seeing the dancing horse looking at her with wide eyes, Liu Wenjing froze slightly and cleared her throat.
"Shouldn't one study the art of enlightenment in order to make contributions and achieve something? Rather than----"
"But..."
Faced with Liu Wenjing's sudden excitement, Wu Ma just leaned forward:
"I'm only interested in awakening skills, not in fighting and serving as an official, but not in saving the world."
What a weirdo.
However, this is fine...Liu Wenjing feels more confident.
He sat back on the chair and quickly adjusted his combat ideas.
"If Mr. Wu Lang really wants to study the art of enlightenment, then there is no need to discuss it. There is only one way -
Follow Mr. Tang."
"Brother Zhao Ren, please give me a clear explanation."
"Mr. Wu Lang must have heard about the meteor that fell in the first year of the Great Cause..."
…
Dancing Horse has indeed heard of this.
When walking to the house last night, Wu Ma briefly chatted with the soldier leading the way.
Speaking of awakened disciples, the soldier probably knows something about them.
It is said that one night in the first year of Daye, a huge meteor fell from the night sky, but it fell to the ground without making a sound or making a big hole.
But since the meteor fell, there have been many strange phenomena in the world, and some awakened disciples with extraordinary abilities and the ability to control the art of awakening have appeared in the world.
These awakened disciples are few in number and do not show up to the world lightly. They often see the tail but not the head. The imperial court and various forces compete to win over them and regard them as an indispensable force to calm the world.
The soldier mostly told stories from hearsay, and exaggerated his words, saying that the awakened disciples were omnipotent in heaven and earth, and so on.
After hearing this, Wu Ma had a rough judgment in his mind.
The reality of this world and the history that Wu Ma knows have really gone their separate ways.
The dividing point should be in the first year of the Daye, on the night when the meteors fall.
I just don’t know whether the serious history and the current reality have simply gone in separate directions, or whether the steering wheel has turned and completely turned to another road.
Wu Ma told most of what he heard.
Liu Wenjing said: "This is a conversation passed down by common people orally. I won't talk about any other trivial matters today.
A meteor did fall in the first year of Daye, and many meteorite fragments were scattered everywhere.
There were about a dozen pieces of it, either in the hands of a hero, or there was still no trace of them.
What I want to tell Dancer-kun is——
If you want to learn the art of awakening, you cannot do without these meteorite fragments..."
The way to do this is quite complicated.
Liu Wenjing drank tea and talked to the dancing horse.
After three or five cups of tea, Wu Ma finally understood.
Not to mention how awakened disciples appear, how they practice, and what the principles of awakening are.
Among the information revealed by Liu Wenjing, the most critical piece is——
Using meteorite fragments as seeds, you have the right to pray to the gods and summon an awakening tower.
The awakened disciple's state of awakening is directly related to this tower.
"Did I hear correctly?"
Wu Ma finally digested all the details in Liu Wenjing's words and felt that she couldn't close her jaw at all.
“Brother Zhaoren means——
If you set up an altar and bury the meteorite fragments in the soil, a tower will grow like crops?
If I want to achieve success in the study of awakening techniques, do I still have to join a force that owns an awakening tower?
Moreover, how many floors are there in the Awakening Tower? What is the upper limit of my realm?
In other words, I can’t decide my own awareness level, so I still have to look at a piece of rubbish that fell from the sky and has nothing to do with me?”
This is simply... so nonsense.
"Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
Liu Wenjing quickly reached out to cover the dancing horse's mouth and looked up at the sky.
"God's ears are the most brilliant... Don't make it difficult for Duke Tang to summon him out of the tower."
Wu Ma blinked his eyes, indicating that he would stop talking nonsense.
Liu Wenjing then took her hand away.
"May I ask who the god is?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"I haven't figured it out yet," Liu Wenjing said: "The gods are a general term for many, many gods. After all, it has only been thirteen years since the meteor fell, and everyone has not been practicing enlightenment for long. No one knows how many gods there are or what they are.
But God must exist, otherwise there is no way to explain these strange and bizarre things that have happened in the past thirteen years, and..."
He said, pointing to himself and then to the dancing horse, "God is always watching us, we must be respectful!"
As a materialist who came from the 21st century and only believes in the god of science, Wu Ma has no intention of accepting Liu Wenjing’s fallacies, but there is no need to take it seriously.
"Let's talk about the Awakening Tower."
"Wu Lang-kun probably stayed in the mountains for too long. It would be good to walk around more in the future to broaden your horizons."
Liu Wenjing said:
"Now, Mr. Tang has a meteorite fragment in his hand, and at the auspicious time of the afternoon today, a pagoda summoning ceremony will be held.
If Mr. Wu Lang doesn’t believe it, you can go there in person to witness the ceremony.”
"Since you can practice with a tower," Wu Ma's eyes lit up, "then I might as well snatch the fragment from Duke Tang's hand and summon one myself."
"puff!"
Liu Wenjing spit out the tea in her mouth and spilled it all over the table.
"If everyone thought like you, the world would have been in chaos, and we, the awakened disciples, would be the biggest disaster."
Brother, the end of the Sui Dynasty wasn't chaotic enough. At least it was eight-treasure porridge. Wu Ma thought to himself.
"Dancer-kun,"
Liu Wenjing's expression suddenly became solemn: "You can just listen to what I said today. You must keep this sentence in your heart -
Awakened disciples can never become emperors.
Absolutely not."
