Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 160 Chapter 159 The Way Authority Exists

Feng Xiuhu finally calmed down.

Because the butler told the price of the table.

It cost me three gold pillars to buy it back then, and now it is out of stock.

According to the housekeeper, this table made Boss Yuan feel painful for a long time, but it was placed in the main hall to entertain guests and to show off, so he gritted his teeth and bought it for a large sum of money.

Feng Xiuhu was also heartbroken. He was not interested in money, but he always cherished his own things.

He touched the chisel marks on the table and sighed, "It has accompanied me through many battles. When I die, remember to bury it next to me."

The housekeeper was stunned: "Ah?"

Shunzi said anxiously: "And me!"

Feng Xiuhu pointed at Shunzi and said, "Bury me next to it. When you know for sure that I'm no longer sick, move the grave here."

After saying that, Feng Xiuhu left angrily.

After returning to the main room, Feng Xiuhu was about to sink his consciousness into the spiritual world when Narcissus suddenly knocked on the door.

After opening the door, Narcissus handed over a pair of brand new socks and said softly, "Master, it's getting cold. I knitted these by myself. Remember to try them on."

Feng Xiuhu was quite surprised. He ran outside all day and several pairs of socks had holes in them.

"You have good skills."

Feng Xiuhu looked through the socks and found that they had a pleasant fragrance - the scent of powder that Narcissus often used was stained on them.

Narcissus smiled and said, "As long as you like it, Master, I will knit you a few more pairs later."

"Row."

Feng Xiuhu nodded: "I'll give you a bonus this month."

He was about to close the door, but saw Narcissus hesitated to speak.

Feng Xiuhu then asked, "Anything else?"

Narcissus bit her lower lip lightly. "Master, I know that Lingzhi and I are not as good as Sister Ruan in terms of status. But when I saw Master sending Sister Ruan to the upper city to learn the rules, I was actually very envious."

"If the master doesn't mind, I would also like to learn more so that I can serve the master in the future."

Feng Xiuhu laughed and said, "What's incomparable? Everyone has their own path. You're not cut out for that."

Narcissus's eyes dimmed. "But... doesn't it all depend on Master's words which path I take?"

"It's really not."

Feng Xiuhu said sternly, "Xiyao'er is almost figuring things out, so I'm relieved and sending her to the upper city. But you haven't figured it out yet, so there's no point in me telling you. You have to figure it out yourself."

"When you figure it out, I'll help you build the road."

Narcissus left disappointed.

Lingzhi, who was hiding in the yard, came over quickly and asked, "What did the master say?"

Narcissus shook her head silently: "I didn't understand, but judging from the meaning, it seems that he is still saying that we are different from Xiyao."

Lingzhi said indignantly, "That's what I think. That thin waist has been sleeping in the main room for several nights in a row. She must have been serving the master well, so the master was kind enough to send her to the upper city."

Narcissus remained silent.

Lingzhi added, "But this is also our chance. While Xiyao is away, the master still needs someone else to serve him. If Xiyao can do it, then we sisters may not be far behind."

Narcissus felt that something was wrong and frowned, saying, "Don't overthink things that don't have any reason. What if you make the master unhappy and implicate me?"

Lingzhi made a face at her and said, "You are too timid. This opportunity is fleeting. If you don't dare, forget it. I will go and please the master myself. When the master and I get close to each other, don't regret it."

Narcissus warned her, "I advise you not to be so clever. Do you really think the master can't see it? If the master really had that intention, he would have been recruited to serve us on the first night we arrived. You are so eager for quick success, be careful not to sprain your ankle."

Lingzhi snorted lightly and said, "It's okay. The master is kind to his family. The worst that can happen is that I will be thrown into the bottom city to cut stones. But if I succeed, it will be a step to heaven."

Narcissus was too lazy to persuade her anymore, so she shook her head and went into the house first.

……

"Why are you still in Fengbotang?"

Sitting on the sampan, Feng Xiuhu felt a little disappointed. Shi Lao lay calmly at the bow, his tail stirring the water with a carefree air. "We're almost there, don't worry."

Feng Xiuhu looked around and saw the endless sea all around him, with no sign of land at all.

Eclipse saw through his thoughts and sneered, "It's not the boat that's moving, it's the sea."

Feng Xiuhu rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, the one that doesn't move is called the Dead Sea."

Eclipse rolled his eyes and said, "Idiot, I mean, Fengbotang isn't fixed to a certain area; it's a moving sea."

Feng Xiuhu looked at him alertly: "What do you mean?"

Eclipse thought about it and came up with a more appropriate explanation: "You can think of it as a rickshaw, running around in the spirit world. We are on the rickshaw now, and when it gets close to the Dream Forest, we will get off."

Feng Xiuhu suddenly understood.

"Let's get down to business."

He remembered the purpose of his visit.

Eclipse raised his eyelids: "The Great President and the Great Duke?"

Feng Xiuhu nodded repeatedly: "Why do they want to collect faith?"

Eclipse stared into the distance, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "I didn't want to tell you these things, because it's meaningless for you to know, and it won't help your current cultivation. But since you insist on asking, I will tell you."

"Before you talk about why we collect faith, you need to know another thing first."

“The way authority exists.”

Feng Xiuhu suddenly became alert, his ears standing up high.

The eclipse comes slowly.

"Last time we talked about divine weapons. Xi Jun refined a magical weapon and forcibly imprisoned his authority on it, so there was a divine weapon."

"You've already guessed it by then. Authority is rules, and rules are formless. They can't exist independently and must be carried by something."

“It’s been like this since the beginning.”

Feng Xiuhu raised his eyebrows: "At the beginning?"

Eclipse nodded: "Yes, the original god."

"In the very beginning, when the primordial god controlled the power of rules, he was born with a carrier."

"Divine bone."

Feng Xiuhu subconsciously looked at the erosion, from the upper head to the buttocks, and then from the shoulder to the tendons: "Which bone is it?"

His look made Shi very unhappy, and he slapped Feng Xiuhu with his tail.

"It's just a general term. It doesn't necessarily mean bones, teeth, eyeballs, heart, flesh, blood, or anything else. In short, it's on the original god."

"But the divine bone is extremely special. It exists both in the mortal world and in the spiritual world."

Feng Xiuhu murmured, "What Schrödinger's stick bone..."

Eclipse glared at the distracted master.

"The divine bone is the carrier of authority. It's like a container that holds the rules. When the new gods hunted the original gods, they were after the divine bones."

"They seized the divine bones, seized power, and ascended to the altar."

Eclipse paused, then cracked a sarcastic smile: "But they soon discovered the problem."

"Although I have gained the power of God, I have not gained the lifespan of God."

"Those pitiful first new gods, despite possessing immense power, could only watch themselves age and die. In the face of birth, old age, sickness, and death, they were no different from the countless beings they enslaved."

"For a long time, the new gods even stopped hunting the original gods and began to research a way out."

"Because they understand that until the issue of lifespan is resolved, no matter how much power they gain, it will be meaningless."

PS: The new gods have gone through many iterations to become what they are today.
