"Needless to mention the Holy Sword Hui Yao, if you want to have the power to surpass all suppression in the world, you must pay the price with your life."
"The Necronomicon is similar. If you are willing to control dozens of undead souls and become a cemetery noble, you can be at ease. But once you embark on the path of the Pope and experience the blessing of millions of undead moths flying into the fire, your soul will
They will fall to the sky involuntarily and either become gods or ashes."
"It's the same thing if you don't give up."
Ming Jiejin said: "I once thought that the unyielding heart should be the most perfect divine weapon. After all, the body can maintain its peak condition, live forever, and be immortal. No matter how you think about it, it will not be as bright as the Holy Sword or the Undead.
Books have unavoidable side effects.”
"It wasn't until I learned about your situation from past emperors that I realized that not giving up can lead people to a dead end. And precisely because of your 'immortality', your road to dead end is longer than that of all holders.
"
Cha Shiyin was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I would like to hear how you, a short-lived person who cannot live past fifty, would speculate on the joys, sorrows and joys of an immortal."
Ming Jie did not take it seriously: "I guess you have gone through three stages. The first stage is your happiest stage. You have tried to experience all kinds of life, traveled to various places around the world, and seen everything every day.
Every day is a day full of hope when you encounter new and exciting things.”
"Being the emperor and visiting the Western Continent all happened at this stage. I estimate that this stage lasted more than a thousand years. After all, cars and ships were too slow in the past, and you are still a normal person who values feelings - Taiyue Ancestor said among brothers
You are the most normal - you may stay somewhere because of a rescue, a look back, and a pity, and it will take years or decades to bring an end to a relationship."
"I guess the second brother's original words definitely didn't mean that I'm normal." Cha Shiyin said lightly, "but that I'm cowardly, timid, unable to take up things but unable to let them go, and unable to speak out when I don't get them."
Ming Jiejin continued: "When you have explored everything in this world and experienced countless joys and sorrows, you will enter the second stage - everything in the world no longer attracts your interest, and you try to find something for yourself.
Find more meaning in your life.”
"You study academics and technology, and try to expand the boundaries of knowledge. You are behind several technological revolutions in Huiyao, right?"
"You climbed the peaks, dived into the deep sea, drew maps, and tried to accomplish great feats that ordinary people could not accomplish. The "Mountains and Seas Map" collected by the Yanjing royal family was written by you, right?"
"You want to develop a perfect political system, a victorious art of war, and solutions to all social phenomena. Huang Zhonggong, Don't Ask for Others, Shi Zhizhai, Netherworld Jushi...the enlightenment mentors behind these famous ministers and generals,
They are all your incarnations, right?"
Speaking of this, Ming Jijing also had some admiration in his tone: "Although it is not as good as the pure happiness in the first stage, in the second stage, every inch of progress you make will bring you an inch of happiness, that kind of breakthrough in knowledge.
, the satisfaction that goes beyond the limits will definitely keep you excited for a long time.”
As if Ming Jiejie's words brought back memories, a smile appeared on Cha Shiyin's lips.
"——But that's all." Ming Jijin sighed: "You will soon realize that people have their limits."
"If you advance in every field to a certain extent, you will no longer be able to make any progress. For example, in technology, you are limited by materials, and you simply cannot create theoretically ultra-efficient tools; in politics, for example, as long as there is a shortage of resources, those in power will inevitably
He squanders resources by himself, so no matter how perfect the political system is, there will be loopholes due to selfishness."
"No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to break through the limitations of history. Not giving up will only give you the power to transcend history, but it will not give you the ability to break through history. Unlike the Holy Sword Glory and the Necronomicon, they can both break through history.
Limitations and create great achievements that transcend the times."
"When you realize this, you enter the third stage." Ming Jiejin said, "That is your current stage."
Cha Shiyin fell silent.
"You have long been tired of physical needs, and no delicious food or beauty can arouse any desire in you; you stay away from emotional needs, and you can no longer accept the departure of your close friends, friends, lovers, and relatives; you can no longer get happiness from the recognition of others. These
The praise of short-lived people who live less than one-tenth of your life is like the praise of a child to you."
"In the end, you even lost your goal. All the goals you could achieve, you did your best, and all the goals you couldn't achieve, you knew you couldn't do it no matter what."
"If everyone is a book, then the vast majority of people are bad works, a few people are good works that have had their shining moments, and you are a complete classic that will last forever."
Ming Jijing looked at Cha Shiyin and said seriously: "You have written everything you can, and the most important thing you should do is to bring this book to a successful conclusion."
"And this is the side effect of not giving up, and it is also your end."
"If you don't give up, I won't allow you to die!"
"It's not that you are not allowed to die physically, but that it doesn't even allow you to have negative thoughts. As its literal meaning is, don't give up. It doesn't even allow you to give up! It requires you to
must--"
"——Live well." Cha Shiyin said softly.
Ming Jiejin took a long sigh: "In the first and second stages, I can still guess a thing or two with the help of ordinary people's thinking. As for the third stage, it is already the realm of not giving up. I can't guess the slightest mystery, I can only vaguely guess it.
Knowing it seems to restrict your actions. The founder of Shiyin, can you clarify the confusion for future generations of nephews?"
"Do you know the 'catastrophe' of Huiyao people?" Cha Shiyin suddenly asked.
"I know, it seems to be similar to the test of inner demons, and also like the goal dream in the subconscious. As long as you survive the tribulation, you can transform your spirit..." Ming Jijing blinked: "If I remember correctly, the tribulation
It seems like a technology that only appeared hundreds of years ago..."
"Have you ever played war cards?" Cha Shiyin suddenly asked again.
Ming Jie nodded: "I did."
"What would you do if you found that the opponent you were playing with couldn't beat you every time?"
"I will look for opponents with better poker skills..."
At this point, Ming Jiejin has completely understood.
"There are one hundred and ninety-seven tribulations in my body." Cha Shiyin said leisurely: "Every word, every action, every move I make must abide by some kind of invisible and intangible precepts, and I must fight against this world cautiously.
"
"In that case, why don't you give up your determination to me?" Mingji said sincerely, "This way you can be freed, and the Necromancer Sect will lose the need to go to war with Hui Yao."
Cha Shiyin smiled half-heartedly: "Since you know that you won't let me give up if you don't want to give up, why do you still want to persuade me to give up?"
"I say all this just to arouse your interest." Ming Jiejin said: "You have lost all your goals, and if I have the help of the Unyielding Heart and the Necronomicon, I can go one step further and get a glimpse of it.
The supreme realm, and it can also eliminate the war between the two countries. Aren't you interested in this and don't you want to help me?"
"I'm interested and willing to help you."
Cha Shiyin smiled and said: "But you are wrong - I still have goals, and I have not given up."
"What goal?"
"After all the calamities, one thought will last forever."
Cha Shiyin raised his holy sword, the light of the sword pointed straight at everything: "Don't give up and tell me that as long as I survive ten thousand tribulations, I can gain eternal peace and happiness."
"I think it's lying to you old man."
"I think so too, but I just don't want to give up."
"It's such a pity," Ming Jiejin opened the Necronomicon: "Taking action on an old antique that has lived for more than two thousand years and spreading the word will really damage the Pope's reputation."
"I'm also very sorry," Cha Shiyin said: "I haven't killed the Ming family for a long time, but killing the Ming family with the Holy Sword Huiyao is my first experience in more than two thousand years."
"Mysterious!"
Ming Jijin laughed loudly, and evil spirits suddenly descended. Billions of demons were like dark clouds, swarming towards Cha Shiyin with bared teeth and claws: "Although I summoned the Holy Sword Hui Yao, it is still in a sealed state. You can't use it at all."
Expose its power! And even if the Holy Sword Huiyao is not sealed, you actually-"
"Who said that the holy sword in the seal can't kill people if it shines brightly?"
Faced with the torrent of demons coming from the front, and the sudden encirclement and killing by the five dead soldiers nearby, Cha Shiyin showed no fear, swung his sword and slashed, borrowing all the stars, and overwhelming the demons with his sword——
boom!
Cha Shiyin was hit against the wall by this round of blows, and everyone was knocked away. Although he stood up immediately, he still couldn't hide his embarrassment.
Le Yu, who was watching the battle, was stunned.
He thought he could see a fight between dragons and tigers, but this is what happened?
"Sure enough, not giving up can't increase your fighting power!" Ming Jijin said with a stern look on his face: "At best, you are just a martial pillar who has reached the pinnacle, and you may not even be able to compare with those real geniuses! What are you going to do with me?
Necronomicon against?"
"But I won't die." Cha Shiyin looked relaxed: "As long as I want, I can kill you with one sword after another, but what can you do to me?"
"I can rip your heart out!"
Mingdu, surrounded by hundreds of millions of ghosts, rushed out as if the emperor had descended, followed closely by the five dead men. Cha Shiyin fought and retreated, glanced at the grass in the distance, and moved the battlefield to another place.
Remote areas.
Le Yu was so watched by Cha Shiyin that he didn't dare to move.
How did he find me? Did he know I was Wu Zhiqi? Or did he think I was a kind-hearted person passing by?
But Le Yu knew why Cha Shiyin glanced at him deliberately. He lowered his head and glanced at the seven still unconscious scabbards in the underground hall, jumped in, picked up the sarcophagus and ran away.
Le Yu suddenly felt a little tired: he had thought that his dead replacement, Yue Zhi Wuzhu, would be able to play a role tonight, but in the end he couldn't beat Smile, let alone Ming Jieji. He used to move bricks, but now he still moves bricks...
