The picture of the furbolg in front of Wu Ma has undergone two changes compared to the time in the secret room -
First, the overall tone changes from gray to black and white;
Second, the altar changed from color to black and white.
As analyzed previously, this is probably due to Tian Deping's death. It is currently unclear what impact such changes will have on the exploration of dancing horses.
According to Liu Wenjing, in addition to the natal monsters and spiritual objects that appear in the illusion of the sea of consciousness, there is also a kind of thing called the awakening object.
The so-called co-awakening objects are mostly related to the awakened disciple's past experiences, or to his natal monster. When a mortal awakens, they all appear in the sea of consciousness.
In the picture of the furbolg, in addition to the furbolg itself, there are three objects: a black tassel spear, a cassock, and an altar.
Wu Ma analyzed it and associated it with the plot in the original Journey to the West. The black cherry gun and the cassock seemed to be related to the black bear monster, but the altar was a new one.
Then, the altar is most likely the spiritual object that inspired Tian Deping's awakening. The black cherry gun and the cassock are probably the same awakening objects.
Liu Wenjing made it very clear about the relationship between awakening techniques and phantom objects -
"Our awakening techniques are all extracted from our own natal monsters, spiritual awakening objects and co-awakening objects."
"The method of extraction is to inject spiritual consciousness into these things, but whether it can be done is another matter."
"Some people just want to be liked by God, just mention them!"
"Some people have more trouble and have to do it over and over again, even hundreds of times before they get it right."
"Spiritual consciousness can be consumed, as Wulang-kun knows... Once it is exhausted, people will faint.
Some people have offended God and fainted countless times, but in the end they did not extract the awakening technique."
These are Liu Wenjing’s original words.
For Wu Ma, the gray mist seems to have the characteristics of divine consciousness, but its effect is stronger than divine consciousness.
Naturally, he wanted to try to inject gray mist instead of spiritual consciousness.
The first target is naturally the illustrated book. But the illustrated book has been explored repeatedly with gray fog, and it seems to be useless for the time being.
The hope of dancing horses is in the illustrated book——
The bear monster picture and the ancient Buddha blue lantern picture most likely correspond to the illusion of the sea of consciousness in Tian Deping and Qingxia's bodies, and Wu Ma has the opportunity to extract the awakening skills from the pictures.
Before the experiment began, Wu Ma continued the good habits he had developed in the world of zombie monsters and specially found pen and ink, as well as a thick stack of paper to record the process of the experiment.
Wu Ma has read relevant information. During the Sui Dynasty, the raw material of paper was mainly bark. The paper made was also called leather paper. It was soft and somewhat tough and easy to preserve. However, the paper was not very delicate and felt a bit rough.
The brush is not very comfortable to write with either.
But Dancing Horse couldn't ask for more, so he could only be glad that he didn't travel in front of Cai Lun.
The posture of the dancing horse holding the brush is very unscrupulous, and the words written on the paper are also very sloppy. Coupled with the effect of simplified characters, it is estimated that few people in this era can understand it.
That's right, he was originally meant to be seen by later generations.
…
"In May of the 13th year of Daye, in a temporary residence somewhere in Taiyuan County and Jinyang County.
After a detailed discussion with Liu Wenjing, I will begin experiments to explore the relationship between illustrations and awakening techniques.
I have a hunch.
This experiment will be a great start.
I will record it all exactly.
As I write this, my hands are shaking with excitement.
Look, this word is so ugly.
Below, the experimental record——
…
Experimental project: [About the relationship between illustrations and death awakening disciples and the feasibility experiment of using illustrations to develop awakening techniques]
Test object: The picture of the bear monster in the first space of the "Illustrated Book" (it is seriously suspected that its prototype is the black bear spirit in Batu Mountain and Batu Cave who stole Tang Monk's cassock in Chapter 16 of Journey to the West)
Test Tool: Mysterious Gray Fog
Test method: Injection with fog
Experimental steps: the first step..."
…
The dancing horse carefully injected the gray mist into the furbolg's chest.
At the moment of contact, Wu Ma's head felt dull.
The oppressive deathly silence spread along the gray fog into Wu Ma's mind - it was like walking into a deserted mountain forest late at night, with faint graves in the distance, and a group of will-o'-the-wisps slowly drifting towards him in the air.
Dancing Horse instinctively separated the gray mist from the furbolg, and then a burst of heart palpitations made him dizzy.
He wrote on the paper:
"The aura on the furbolg that seemed to come from the Dead Soul Realm sent me a very clear message: for a period of time, it cannot be used, cannot be approached, and cannot be provoked.
I will give up my exploration of furbolg for now.
This is by no means fear, but a rational and strategic shift of goals.
It is worth mentioning that when I was in the secret room, I also tried to inject gray mist into the furbolg, but there was no such feeling at that time.
I would venture to guess that this is still directly related to Tian Deping’s death.”
…
Putting down the pen, the dancing horse turned to inject gray mist into the altar.
What the altar conveyed to Dancing Horse was an aura full of blood and unwillingness. This made him feel that he was back in the secret room again, lying on the altar, waiting for his fate to be pronounced. It was very unpleasant.
He wrote:
"It seems that the awakening technique cannot be extracted from the altar for the time being.
Besides, I don’t want to touch the altar in the short term.”
…
Next is the cassock worn by the furbolg.
This cassock easily reminded him of the one worn by Tang Sanzang.
Tracing back to the source, this cassock was given to Monk Tang by Guanyin Bodhisattva. It has a very important background. It would be very difficult to extract enlightenment skills from it.
After the gray mist was injected into the cassock, a transparent film appeared on the surface of the cassock, which quickly disappeared.
What is conveyed to the dancing horse is an ethereal atmosphere, as if a person is observing the world through a veil.
To Wu Ma's dismay, he got nothing but this feeling.
"The cassock experiment... unexpectedly failed."
…
Wu Ma was a little disappointed, especially for Kasaya. He once had high hopes.
He was a little nervous - is it possible that the function of the illustrated book has nothing to do with the awakening technique?
If so, Wu Ma will really have the urge to burn books.
"It's up to you!"
With the last hope, Dancing Horse turned his attention to the black cherry gun in the hand of the furbolg.
Gray fog poured in.
This time, the injection of dancing horses was thorough and carpet-like.
He controlled the gray mist and touched the gun from the tail to the body to the tip, not even letting go of the sparse black tassel.
At first, the black tassel gun had no reaction to the injection of dancing horses.
The tail of the gun was as cold as a doorknob in winter. As the gray fog moved forward bit by bit, the gun body gradually warmed up.
When you touch the middle, the gun body begins to heat up, and you can even feel its extremely subtle vibrations.
When I touched the head of the gun, it was already a little hot, and the gun body was shaking violently.
When he touched the black tassel, the gun began to buzz, exuding an aura of restlessness, which made Wu Ma a little excited and gave birth to a bit of infected irritability.
He touched the black tassel one by one, and no fish slipped through the net.
When all the tassels were touched, the black cherry gun suddenly flashed with black light, and the gun body swayed.
When I looked at it again, I saw that the tip of the gun had changed from black to bright silver.
Although the cherry blossoms and the gun body are still black, the surrounding background has a few more shades of color, creating a somewhat three-dimensional effect.
A line of small words appeared on the gun head——
【Manic Wind】......
