I don’t know if the effect of the "charm" was too strong. The snow goblin wizard kept trying to please Xuan Weizi, but the other party didn't pay much attention to it and just asked: "Then you should know that there is a big waterfall in the forest.
To the west, there is an ancient ruins, called a holy place by the locals. What race built it?"
"Oh, back to Lord Saint Oranso, the ancestors have warned us many times not to go near that place. That is the staircase for the gods to leave the earth." The snow goblin wizard replied.
"God?" Xuan Weizi thought for a long time, then raised his hand and said, "I want to check your body, don't move around."
The snow goblin wizard stood with his head bowed very respectfully. Xuan Weizi's fingertips gently pressed on the top of his head, activating the subtle induction of divine energy. After a while, he took back his hand and said: "Okay, you can leave."
Xuanweizi recalled Hengyizi, and saw the snow goblin wizard looking forward to it, asking: "I wonder what else I, the humble one, can do for the Holy Saint Oranso?"
"If something happens to me in the future, I may come back to you." Xuan Weizi implanted the astral body into the snow goblin's forehead and said, "You can leave now."
Xuan Weizi has just now roughly understood how this snow goblin wizard has the ability to cast spells. There are similarities with Rosalian, and they both have magical talents in their blood, but there are also differences.
According to the mage, this innate spell-casting ability may be a magic-like or supernatural ability. If properly developed, it can be as effective as a mage's arcane spell. However, when it comes to individual individuals, the innate spell-casting ability cannot be very powerful.
comprehensive.
Xuan Weizi discovered that the sources of spell-like abilities are also diverse. They can be magical talents derived from the blood of the ethnic group, or mutations in the brain or soul. In fact, psychic powers can also be included in the scope of spell-like abilities.
.As far as Xuan Weizi himself is concerned, his "soul" is obviously abnormal.
However, the strength of spell-like abilities seems to also need to be supported by the quality of the spellcaster. If the brain's cognitive ability is too low, then even if it has the potential and talent, it will not be able to exert spell-like abilities.
The situation of the Snow Goblin wizard is that his intelligence and magic affinity are higher than those of other members of his race, so he can have the ability to cast spells. But even so, it is very difficult to continue to develop the ability to cast spells, given the quality of the Snow Goblin itself.
Xuan Weizi suddenly thought that the natural qualities of the living beings in this world may have limits, so it is actually a more convenient way to gain quality bonuses through transformation.
But if you think about it carefully, isn't the situation on earth similar? Human beings' basic abilities such as hearing, smell, and vision may not be stronger than some beasts. But human intelligence and imagination have greatly expanded human potential, thus
Able to improve the survivability of the tribe by developing technology and building organizations.
But having said that, in the world that Xuan Weizi lives in now, humans are not the only creatures with such qualities, and goblins who are weaker than humans do not have no room for survival at all.
Just like a blind person who thinks that the world is naturally dominated by the weak and the strong, but does not know that all natural phenomena are constantly changing. All living things are just in their own places and the fittest survive. However, nature is the objective environment that all living beings cannot avoid. How to face their respective objective environments?
Nature also gave birth to different forms of civilization.
"What are you thinking about?" Rosaleen asked.
Xuan Weizi suddenly smiled: "I wonder if goblins can practice Taoism."
Rosalin's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "You...you actually want to teach those noble knowledge to these dirty and lowly things? Are you crazy?"
"Knowledge is not noble." Xuan Weizi said.
Rosalin dug her front paws on the ground anxiously: "Although I don't know you invaders, I can at least see that what you taught me is definitely very advanced knowledge. If you teach it to the goblins like this, you won't be afraid of them.
Will it harm other races if it becomes stronger in the future?"
Xuan Weizi looked at the direction where the snow goblin wizard left and replied: "If I really want to teach Taoism, of course I know how to restrain these guys. What's more, Taoism is all-encompassing and insightful, and goblins are nothing.
Everyone can learn it. The alchemy method I practice cannot be learned by most living beings in this world... Of course, now is not the time to teach the method."
"What time is that?" Rosaleen asked eagerly.
Xuan Weizi lowered his eyebrows, as if in a trance, and said: "When the world is overturned, the signs of Sancai's murderous intent will appear."
Practicing Taoism requires chance. Ordinary people cannot understand the so-called chance and always think it is some kind of unknowable power or fate.
But in Xuan Weizi's view, this is not the case. Most of the Taoism that the world understands is all kinds of miraculous powers and otherworldly powers. If you look a little deeper, you will think that you can live forever and achieve immortality. At its root, Taoism is
It teaches people how to get along with the world physically and mentally.
The opportunity to practice Taoism is precisely for people to understand that there is a problem in the relationship between their body and mind and the world. This usually requires people to suffer great hardships, suffer great disasters, and endure great pain before they can discover the problem! Only in this way can we know, both
You have to reflect and practice inwardly, and you have to understand the changes outwardly, and work hard to transform your body and mind. This is the opportunity to practice Taoism!
It’s simple to say that one learns from every mistake. But when daily actions hit a wall, how many people can know that their past thinking and understanding led to their wrong judgment? And they must know where the mistake is, and they must also know how to reverse themselves.
Thinking and understanding, correcting the existing way of doing things, this is to give full play to the function of the soul! To be able to do these things, you must be a genius with extraordinary understanding! Ordinary people, if they suffer losses every day without knowing it, how can they talk about cultivating the Tao?
In his previous life, Xuan Weizi had tried to teach profound Taoism without any distinction, but unfortunately it backfired. Those who came to seek refuge with him were all pursuing powerful magical powers and power to be superior to others. However, Xuan Weizi was ultimately defeated.
Also related to these things.
It wasn't until he almost lost his body and soul and traveled to another world that Xuan Weizi vaguely understood how rare the opportunity was to practice Taoism. It was at this moment that he thought about the matter thoroughly.
If you want to spread Taoism widely, the opportunities you need are even more profound. Therefore, Xuan Weizi said that if the "Three Talents Killing Intent" emerges, all sentient beings in this world will not have the opportunity to practice Taoism unless they suffer great suffering and learn painful lessons.
.
Before that, no matter how superb or profound the Taoism is taught, it will be useless!
Isn't this the case with Rosalian? She was defeated and imprisoned by Xuan Weizi, separated from the service of the Spotted Beast Tribe, and humiliated by the townsfolk of the Pile Pile every day. Her body, mind, and world were in a state of severe disorder. This was exactly the reason for her diligent cultivation.
Opportunity.
If Lady Rosalian was still protecting the Holy Land and aloof, even if Xuan Weizi respectfully presented the "Five Emperors Letter" with both hands, she would not be able to practice.
On the way back to the ruins of the Holy Land, Xuan Weizi said nothing, and Rosalian didn't dare to say much, just silently leading the way.
…
A high wall of silver-white ice crystals stands tall, and the surging water seems to have been frozen into icebergs overnight. It extends from a high cliff of more than a hundred feet to the bottom. Under the sunlight, it reflects a vast bright white color, shaking it.
The person's eyes hurt.
This place is the great waterfall that Xuan Weizi mentioned. Across the river and further to the west are the ruins of the Holy Land and the Holy Land. Along the river is the Spotted Beast Tribe. The two are not too far apart.
At present, the river is frozen, and even this waterfall is no exception, and the freezing speed is beyond imagination. It is said that such a large volume of ice should be difficult to maintain its own weight. If there is a slight external force, it will probably collapse and fall.
Xuan Weizi and Rosalian carefully crossed the ice, and after walking for about half a day, they could see tall buildings among the dense trees——
It was a giant door that was integrated with the mountain. It was five or six stories high. It was not built of stone, but was directly carved into the mountain. The edges of the giant door were carved with various lines and patterns. Compared with
Artistic beauty is more about complex and rigorous geometric lines.
There is a bronze ring on the giant door, and the surface of the ring is inlaid with white crystals. Even though the ring has been mottled, these crystals are still smooth and crystal clear.
Xuan Weizi could sense that the white crystal contained magical energy, and it was running in a very specific way. He took out a few crystal white arrow clusters from his bag, which were the arrows shot by Jia Kadan when he assassinated him.
, which was later collected and carefully examined by Xuan Weizi.
At that time, Xuan Weizi was protected by a "force field barrier". Normal bows and arrows could not break through his defense, but this white crystal arrow cluster seemed to ignore the effect of the "force field barrier". If the strong wind hadn't deflected the arrows,
, I guess Xuan Weizi can really hit the arrow.
After several inspections and detections, Xuan Weizi discovered that this white crystal contains strange magical energy. If it is released in an appropriate way, it can interfere with or block the original spell effect, forming a similar "dispelling magic" or
Although the effect of the "anti-magic field" has a very small scope, Jia Kadan probably resonated with the soul and shot the arrow, breaking through the "force field barrier" on Xuan Weizi.
However, Jia Kadan's method of using crystals was still too crude. However, Xuanwei Zi only had a small amount of white crystals on the arrow clusters at the beginning and could not study them in depth.
Now that it's better, seeing so many special crystals inlaid on the gate of the Holy Land ruins, Xuan Wei Zi can conclude that these crystals were brought by Tu Randi from the Holy Land ruins.
Xuan Weizi raised his hand and fired a "crystal shard" towards the bronze ring. As soon as the crystal shards came into contact with its surface, they melted without leaving a trace.
Immediately, the white crystals inlaid with bronze rings emitted a slight luster, and the magic energy began to connect to the entire giant door. There was only a muffled sound, and the giant door opened inward, causing the surrounding airflow to swirl, blowing Xuan Weizi's robes.
Flying.
There was darkness behind the door. Xuan Weizi stood outside the door and asked Rosalian: "Do you want to come in with me?"
"Frankly, I don't want to, but will you let me stay here?" Rosaleen replied angrily.
"You never thought of coming in and taking a look before?" Xuan Weizi said: "The bronze ring can convert various spell effects on its own. I think the totem guardians of the Banzoo tribe should be aware of this mechanism."
"What do you mean?" Rosaleen asked.
"I'm wondering why the indigenous people want to protect this kind of place." Xuan Weizi said: "Whether it is out of belief, tradition, or various spiritual requirements, there is always a reason. But now it seems that
If there is no one guarding the ruins of the Holy Land, a random spell can open the door, and it feels like waiting for someone to enter."
Rosaleen sneered: "Do you think everyone is like you group of intruders? When you see there are no guards outside the door, you just want to rush in and rob other people's things."
"If there is no outside, why do we need the inside?" Xuan Weizi said: "Isn't the so-called door used to distinguish the inside and outside and for passage? If you really want to completely isolate the things inside from the world, you must either destroy it or
It will be buried forever, why leave such a door that can be easily opened?"
Rosalian didn't say much else, Xuan Weizi continued: "And you said that Tu Randi entered the holy land ruins to hide it from other tribesmen. In other words, the totem guardians at least knew how to enter, otherwise they would not even be able to protect the holy land.
The motive for the ruins is gone.”
"After talking so much, are you still going in? After a while, the door will close automatically." Rosaleen urged.
"Oh? And an automatic one?" Xuan Weizi said, raising his hand and releasing a bird scout, leaving it in the nearby woods to keep watch. Then he walked in with a smile, and one person and one leopard disappeared into the darkness.
…
"Why not? Isn't there plenty of wood in Woodpile Town? I just built a small chapel and it doesn't cost much!"
In Woodpile Town, Sir Salemi and Wolf quarreled over whether to build a chapel.
Wolf still remembered the instructions of "Doctor Olenso", and he himself did not like the Holy Lord Church, so he tried his best to stop the other party and gave a comprehensive explanation:
"What time is it now? Winter! Every winter in Chaihei Town, dozens of people freeze to death. Do you think our little wood is enough? Who knows how long this winter will last?"
Sir Salemi said angrily: "You only use small pieces of firewood to make the fire. I use large logs. What's wrong?"
"Do you think you can use those logs as you please? Even I can't have the final say!" Wolf stamped his feet and said, "The food in Chaidui Town can only be harvested once a year. If everyone wants to have enough to eat, just
We have to sell local wood and exchange it for food to transport back. We have already consumed a lot of it to resist the indigenous people. If there is no wood to send out after the snow melts next year, another group of people will starve to death. Who will be responsible then? You?
?If you are capable, you can conjure up a pile of food for me!"
Sir Salemi was stunned. The priest in the church had mastered the miracle of "making food", but it could only satisfy the hunger of three or five people at most, and it was all tasteless dry food. It was impossible to hope that it could save many hungry people.
crowd.
The quarrel between the two attracted crowds of people to watch, and the townspeople also had their own thoughts. They whispered, "There have been fewer trees cut down this year, and we may be hungry next year.", "It's okay to build a chapel, my mother is not in good health.
, I always think about this.", "How about using the shack left by the monster?", "You are crazy! The Sheriff is not happy."...
At this time, a gust of warm wind came along with the fragrance of green grass, and an old voice was heard saying: "Is there a shortage of food? Maybe I can feed everyone."
Everyone turned around and saw an old man with a white beard in strange clothing, holding a long oak staff about the same height as himself, wearing a strange robe that looked like animal skins and grass branches, and a stone talisman hung around his waist.
Wearing signs and pottery pots, her hair is as messy as a bird's nest - and she actually has several birds on her head!
"Gui'an, everyone in Chai Dui Town, my name is Ta Valon, and I am the sage of the Green Ring." The weird old man smiled kindly: "Maybe you can call me - Druid."
