Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

chapter 74

Outside Zhizhi Nunnery, covered by pines and bamboos, thousands of black shadows shroud this dilapidated Taoist temple where no one walks by. The stars in the sky seem to have quietly disappeared at this moment, leaving only one awe-inspiring star shining in the night sky.

Fu Ningdie stumbled and ran along the mountain road, fear and panic had completely captured her young mind.

"Wending..."

"Sister Yuan..."

The little girl muttered the name she remembered, her mind was in a mess and she couldn't get a clue at all, and she didn't know what she was hoping for. She only knew that chanting a familiar name would bring her a sense of security.

But it didn't take long to indulge in the false security, and the sudden surge of fear told her again, don't talk anymore.

At this moment, in this mountain, there are indescribable things surging among the branches, under the leaves, and under the roots of the trees. They may be the heart-pounding hairy man Wending said, or it may be the corpse monster that the master said stupidly at night.

But the sound of the footsteps chasing after her was even more rapid. No matter where Ningdie ran, she could hear the evil sound of maggots attached to the bones. She was fast if she was fast, and she was slow if she was slow.

Fu Ningdie resisted the urge to yell, but tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, splashing on her icy cold face.

Master told her that only her own footsteps were chasing after her, so don't look back.Otherwise, that terrifying thing would instantly come to her invisible body, clinging to her face.

Ningdie opened her eyes wide, and tears blurred her vision. She was afraid of seeing tattooed ghosts and naked corpses when she turned around, and she was even more afraid of her parents in the dream staring at her with blood and tears...

"Master..."

"It will be fine if you find Master..."

"you can……"

Fu Ningdie cheered herself up in her heart.

She still doesn't know why Sister Yuan suddenly led them out of the Taoist temple in a panic just now - it is clear that everything is as usual in the wing where the master is.

But that seemingly unreliable master must still be in the wing room, as long as he is found, everything will be fine!

A tree root coiled on the mountain rock protrudes from the ground like a threshold. Fu Ningdie is deeply in the confusion of thinking, and she doesn't see clearly until she is in front of her.

At this time, it was less than one foot, and Ningdie could only jump high, but she found that the ground where she landed was full of sharp gravel, and there was no place for her feet to stand. There was the phantom pain of hitting the rocks.

But at that moment, Fu Ningdie suddenly thought of a familiar person, and a dexterous figure of a person walking on the eaves appeared in front of her eyes, her body suddenly rose up, and her feet lightly landed on the gravel, like a hovering figure about to touch the eaves Gui Yan, after staggering two steps, managed to stabilize her body!

When she looked up again, the dilapidated courtyard wall had emerged among the sparse trees, and the book wall with the words "No. 16 Cave of Wuyi Mountain" was also clearly visible.

Surprised and surprised, the details of Yanzi's steps on the eaves were finally fully remembered.Fu Ningdie took two steps, leaped up the stone steps of more than a dozen steps in three light steps, penetrated through the broken door, walked straight to the ancient well of Songgui, and ruthlessly pushed away the wing where Jiang Wen was. door.

But as she knocked open the door, she spun and hit the corner of the wall, and it took a long time to recover her vision.

Ningdie saw a monster sitting on the bed made of the altar table, with round eyes wide open angrily, giant teeth like chisels, covered in blue skin, fur with horns, and was gnawing on a pile of flesh and blood. On the bloody mattress, only The lower skull and a few strands of tousled hair...

...............

Jiang Wen was wrestling with the nightmare.Therefore, he was clearly awake, but fell into a deep sleep and could not wake up.

This Taoist temple is weird, it seems to be able to turn sleep into a normal state, and once you step into it, you can easily concretize some indescribable things.

With eyes closed, it is impossible to detect the outside world, and it is completely dark, and its ears are full of noisy and strange sounds.

Fear comes from the unknown, and the restricted senses will lead to the extreme amplification of fear in the brain. Slowly, many hidden rumors are churning in his mind.

Long before the gentry of the Jin Dynasty visited the dark world and fell into a fear that could not be suppressed by Wushi powder or alcohol, a group of people encountered similar things.

The Milesian school, the first philosophical school in ancient Greece, tried to separate the spiritual world from the illusory Greek gods, but found something that could not be relied on, as if the unknown natural things had broken free from the shackles, and secretly showed their minions.

Thales, the first sage in the school, suddenly realized in the papyrus scroll, and watched the starry sky silently all night, always vigilant for changes in the orbits and relative positions of the stars.

Then Anaximander, from his whispering sleep, claimed that the "water" Thales spoke of was not the origin of the world.In his dream, he foretold some kind of chaotic and unlimited being, sleeping in the bottom of the muddy abyss, heralding all creation and destruction.

As far as Anaximenes, the pottery tablets inscribed with horrible words from the good school were buried.In order to avoid panic, he tried his best and desperately supported his theory with examples he could see, protecting the foundation of a stable material world.

Pythagoras, who inherited all this, added his own number theory on the basis of the Milesian school, thinking that through the understanding of numbers, the world has been analyzed.

In his worldview, Pythagoras went a step further by saying that the infinite is equivalent to darkness, and the finite is equivalent to fire and light.He proudly called these limited numbers used for counting as "Boundary Stones", which have safeguarded the stability of the material world.

Infinity represents darkness. Pythagoras, like the Milesians, believed that there were many worlds, but from his mathematical point of view, he did not think that there were infinitely many worlds—at least the number of infinitely many worlds was in The end of the "knowable" of rational numbers.

Obviously this concept comes from the Milesian school's observation of the sky and stars-but the discovery of "irrational numbers" broke his confidence in the "boundary stone".

It also involved an early mathematical scandal in which a member of the school, according to legend, was thrown into the sea and drowned for having leaked a secret.

The "irrational number" in the eyes of Pythagoras represents the unknowability of the world, just like the last digit of an irrational number can never be calculated.It symbolizes the most terrifying of infinite possibilities, and also represents the darkest end of the universe.These existences beyond the "Boundary Stone" may seem brief, but they hide the ultimate seed, tearing his efforts to pieces, and pushing the world to what Thales predicted...

Chaotic consciousness is like quicksand in the abyss, but Jiang Wen felt that there were traces of bright candlelight in the room, which happened to wake up his chaotic thinking.

That ray of light is gentle, warm, and warm, just like a ray of morning sun rising in the morning.

He opened his eyes and found that Ningdie was shivering in the corner of the wall, crouching with her head in her arms to prevent unconsciousness, and there were still wet tears on her clothes.

Jiang Wen was afraid that she would faint from fright, but found that Ningdie's breathing was long and long, and she was caught in a deep breathing.

"It turned out to be the sunlight visualized from the "Nine Suns False Scripture" I taught her?"

"Although this girl's aptitude for learning martial arts is not good, but her spiritual awareness and xinxing are probably very outstanding, so that she can make a breakthrough before the battle, and breathe on the verge of death..."

Jiang Wen also knew very well that fear comes from the unknown.

No matter how serious the nightmare was, Jiang Wen lay there peacefully, although some thoughts still popped up in his mind, infected with stereotyped fear due to the chilling and desolate environment around him.

But these fear element memes can no longer hurt him at this time.

The spread of memes is difficult to contain, just like the thousands of troubles in the mouth of monks and the clutter of distracting thoughts in the mouth of Taoists. It takes years and years of meditation to suppress it. good way.

The best way to curb the spread of fear memes is to face him... ahem, to introduce more crazily spread memes!
When some inexplicable melodies, images, and dialogues appeared in his mind, the nightmare's restraint on the body became smaller and smaller, vividly explaining what is insignificant.

Yes, such things were rare in the eyes of the ancients.But Jiang Wen is very clear that these things called "demonic nature", "ghost animal", "brainwashing" and "spiritual pollution" are hidden in his head, and he can have as much as he wants...

　With the addition of the Milesian school, I have offended all the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign sages once again_(:з」∠)_
