But after opening his eyes, he did not draw anything on the scroll. Instead, he gently shook his left hand and put away the blank scroll.
next second...
As Youfang's mind moved, dots of ink floated up from his body and gathered in front of him. In a moment, the "Diagram of Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts" condensed.
It turns out that as a branch of "witchcraft", the "Wu Nuo" method is also within the scope of the "Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts Picture". Therefore, this time he is not going to paint a new picture, but to "upgrade" this scroll!
So, the next moment after the scroll appeared, You Fang raised his right hand, ink and blood began to flow from the tip of his pen, and then... he started writing.
He did not make any modifications to the original twelve strange beasts, but added a shadow of "Fang Xiang" wearing a mask and animal fur, holding a shield in his left hand and a gun in his right hand after the twelve beasts, making it integrated into the entire painting.
Om-! ! !
At the moment when the shadow of "Square Image" was completed, the whole painting suddenly shook, and a mysterious meaning rippled out, filling the entire room.
In the blink of an eye, all the meanings converged and penetrated into You Fang's body. You Fang's body also trembled, and when his eyes flashed, he couldn't help but feel a touch of surprise!
Wow——!
The next second, as Youfang moved his mind, the "Diagram of Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts" dispersed again, and the twelve black beasts and the shadow of "Fang Xiang" all crawled into his clothes again and were imprinted on his body again.
And then, he shook the "Mountain and Sea Scroll" again, and the two scrolls of "Bai Ze" and "Zhu Long" emerged. He picked up the pen again and started to sketch on them!
That’s right, this method of “Wu Nuo Performing Gods” also includes the application of “observation techniques”, and the “totem visualization method” is the most direct one, which is a way to observe and comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.
Therefore, after digesting it, Youfang's "viewing technique" skill improved again. Auspicious clouds full of Taoist charm were added to the "Bai Ze Tu", and the face of the "Zhu Long" became clearer, and the snake neck under the head also emerged faintly!
Soon, both paintings were "upgraded". After carefully experiencing them, Youfang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He didn't expect that his "viewing skills" would break through to the goal he had originally set. It was truly an unexpected gain!
Even if he didn't use the "Bai Ze" method, he could be sure that the range he could perceive now was definitely more than doubled than before. And it was not just a simple increase in ability. His perception of the rules of heaven and earth was now more transparent than before!
"Ha ha……"
Feeling this, You Fang couldn't help laughing out loud. In this way, his comprehension of "The Divine Machine Hundred Refinements" and "The Double Hands" could be put on the agenda.
And at this point, his understanding was completely completed. He looked at the time and it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning, time for breakfast.
However, Youfang was not in a hurry as he had other things to do. His eyes moved, a black mist rose from his body, and the figure of the white snake suddenly appeared in the room.
"hiss~"
As soon as the white snake appeared, it excitedly spit out its tongue at You Fang. It found that it had really made a profit. This new boss was much stronger than it had expected, both in terms of strength and power!
"speak English."
Seeing the white snake just spitting out its tongue without uttering a word for a long time, You Fang couldn't help but glance at it and said something softly.
"!"
After hearing Youfang's words, the white snake finally reacted. It immediately retracted its snake body and transformed itself into the girl it was before. It called out sweetly, "Master~"
Not only did her body shape change, her clothes also turned into a maid's long dress, her pair of golden snake eyes flashed slightly, and a white snake tail swayed gently behind her.
"..."
"Where did you learn all this?" Seeing this scene, You Fang couldn't help but squint his eyes. This smell... seemed a little stronger.
"Ah? Aren't all subordinates like this nowadays? I saw those young people who came to Leifeng Pagoda for tourism before, and their mobile phones were full of videos and pictures like this!" White Snake was puzzled.
"..."
"Okay." Youfang looked at her carefully for a while and felt that there was no big problem. She was just a maid, and she was pleasing to the eye.
So, he stopped caring about this and started asking about the main business: "By the way, what's your name? I have to call you something in the future, right?"
He had actually thought about this question yesterday. Although the White Snake wanted to replace Bai Suzhen with herself, he couldn't just call it "White Lady" or "Bai Suzhen"... It always felt weird.
Therefore, he wanted to ask if the White Snake had its own name. If not, then he could just give it a name that was easier to pronounce, which would be much more convenient.
"Name? I don't think I have one..." After thinking about it, the white snake shook its head. How could a snake like it have a name? There is no such tradition in the animal kingdom.
"Okay, then we'll call it 'Xiao Bai' from now on!" After hearing this, You Fangdang decided to give it a name, "Xiao Bai"... Well, it sounds nice, easy to remember and easy to call, and it fits the name of White Snake. Features, he thinks they are quite good!
"Okay!" Xiaobai didn't think there was anything wrong with the name. On the contrary, he was very happy that he finally had a name after so many years.
This is also the characteristic of "animal spirits": innocent, simple, and simple. Except for animals like foxes and yellow foxes that are inherently cunning, the rest are basically like this.
Not to mention, since the white snake spirit became a spirit and was attracted to the Lei Feng Pagoda, it has basically not moved from its nest. It has been in a state of not caring about worldly affairs all day long, and naturally remains innocent and simple.
Over the years, with the development of technology and the increase in the number of tourists, she can receive all kinds of information even if she does not move, and it has become what it is now.
"Then Xiaobai, have you ever thought about what would happen if you really replaced White Snake?" After deciding on the name, Youfang continued to ask.
"After that? After that..." Upon hearing this question, Xiaobai fell into deep thought. To be honest, he was attracted by the "power of vows" under the Leifeng Pagoda and began to practice instinctively. He had never thought about what would happen next.
"This won't do. Since you've followed me, you have to keep moving forward on the path of cultivation, otherwise you'll fall behind sooner or later." As if he had expected this, Youfang smiled at first, then frowned again.
He could see that the white snake itself did not have a clear goal, and its practice was just a matter of chance and passivity. If its path was not determined, it would inevitably become a "decoration" over time.
"Then, what should I do?" Hearing this and seeing his master's sudden serious expression, Xiaobai was startled and asked quickly.
"I think you can give up Bai Niangzi and follow the path I give you." Youfang then looked at it, his lips curled up in an inexplicable smile.
Ever since he comprehended the "Wu Nuo" method and understood the essence of "willpower", he felt that if he practiced this for a long time, there would be a limit to his ability to achieve it.
One of its upper limits is the power limit of the "God" being played, and the other upper limit is the "willpower" itself!
What is "willpower"?
It is the “thoughts of all living beings”!
This is a kind of power that can be used for practice and improvement, but unlike Qi, it is also a shackle and an obsession.
"Willpower" does not come from the practitioner himself, so it will naturally not be controlled by the practitioner. Even if one really practices to the extreme and achieves "replacing God with oneself", he will only become the "God" that all living beings think of, and will be locked more firmly in the world, without any possibility of "transcendence".
This is contrary to Youfang's purpose of practice. What he wants is "transcendence", not to be bound by heaven and earth, and to become an immortal!
As Xiaobai is a part of his current power, if he is bound to the heaven and earth because of practicing the way of "White Snake", it will undoubtedly be an unstable factor for him. If he really has the possibility of ascending to heaven in the future, Xiaobai may become a "flaw" in his practice!
After thinking about this, there are only two options before You Fang: one is to give up Xiaobai and release it back to the foot of Leifeng Pagoda; the other... is to change its path!
For him, there was naturally nothing to think about. He already had a huge idea in his mind, and he needed a spirit like Xiaobai to realize it, so he could only choose the latter.
Of course, the path he envisioned also needed the assistance of "willpower", but that was not the main thing, but more like a boost, allowing him to open the door of the rules of heaven and earth a little wider...
As long as the door is open and allows him to see the scenery inside, the door will never be closed again. At that time, there will be no need for the assistance of "willpower" and it can be completely eliminated.
However, even if he is a "subordinate", he does not like to use "force". In his opinion, only when the other party is willing can things be guaranteed to be successful.
Although in his expectation, as long as he proposed to modify Xiaobai's cultivation path, it would definitely agree, this was the advantage of "animal spirits" - once they recognized their master, they would be loyal.
But even so, there is a subtle difference between letting him, the "master", make decisions and letting him make decisions on his own. He is always cautious in doing things, so naturally he wants to make up for all possible flaws and strive for perfection. !
"Give up White Snake...Okay!" As expected by Youfang, after hearing this proposal, Xiaobai nodded and made the decision without any hesitation.
In fact, she didn't know much about spiritual practice, and had always been accepting the guidance of "willpower" and obtaining various information. Now that her "master" said that there was a more suitable and better way, she naturally believed it.
"Haha, well, now that you've decided, I'll come and help you practice after I finish my work." Seeing it agree, Youfang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, with a look of satisfaction.
"As the first spirit I have subdued, I will definitely give you the best path. You can rest assured about this!"
After saying this, he waved his hand lightly and took Xiaobai back into the "Diagram of Twelve Beasts Eating Ghosts". Then he sat cross-legged again, summoned the remaining painting of "Zhulong", and activated the "Three Levels of Reverse Life".
Because of Xiaobai's incident and his subsequent comprehension of the "Wu Nu" method, he did not go to the "Ruins of Time" to practice as promised yesterday. Now that his comprehension is over, he naturally has to make up for it.
moment……
"coming?"
Seeing Youfang appear, Gu Jiting smiled slightly, did not move, and did not even ask any further questions.
The reason was very simple. During this period of time, his eyes had always been on Youfang. He knew everything that Youfang had experienced, so naturally there was no need for him to ask.
At the same time, he was also very pleased with Youfang's rapid progress in "observation skills". This kid's talent was really beyond his imagination.
It is precisely because of this that he would not look away, because in the process of observing You Fang's progress, he also gained some insights. He could feel that if he continued like this, the bottleneck that was bothering him would definitely loosen!
"Yes, here I come!" Seeing Gu Jiting speak, Youfang also smiled slightly and also remained sitting cross-legged without moving.
Then he asked a question: "I've always wanted to ask you, if you keep staring at me like this every day, don't I have any privacy at all?"
"Haha, what's wrong? Do you have any secret that you are afraid I will know?" Gu Jiting said with a smile.
"Not really. You've figured out my biggest secret. What other secrets could there be?" You Fang shrugged. He was referring to the matter of the "time traveler".
"Isn't that enough? Don't worry, I won't pay attention to anything that is not related to enlightenment. I am only interested in your practice process..." Since the boy mentioned it, Gu Jiting said seriously. He also knew that it would not feel good to be stared at all the time.
"Okay, okay, then I feel relieved. After all, you are my teacher." Youfang also knew that if you want to get something, you must pay something. Anyway, he has nothing shameful to show. Even if he does, Gu Jiting will not reveal it. This guy doesn't care about these things at all.
Of course, with his current level of "Observation Technique", he could still block Gu Jiting's gaze with the help of "Bai Ze", but he did not do so.
Now, Gu Jiting and he have a "teacher-friend" relationship, which needs to be maintained with "trust". He does not want to break it unless necessary. After all, it is rare to have a common path.
At this moment……
"Hmm?" Youfang's eyes suddenly moved, and he felt something in his heart. Then he looked up and began to observe.
"The world... has changed again?" He asked quickly. He found that this "Ruins of Time" was different from before.
"Yes, this change just happened, right after you understood the 'Wu Nuo' method." Gu Jiting nodded and answered.
"You should have figured it out. The Wu Nuo method also contains the mystery of 'observation', and what it observes are those 'acquired rules'. In other words, they are the 'rules' generated by the 'thoughts of living beings'!"
"Yes, indeed..." Youfang nodded, then lowered his head to feel and think quietly.
"That is to say, my 'Ruins of Time' has now added the 'Acquired Rules' part, and can also deduce the development and possibility of the 'willpower' of living beings!"
"That's right. Although it was possible to deduce it before, it would not be very accurate. After all, it is the 'thoughts of all living beings'. A slight deviation may lead to a result that is a world of difference." Gu Jiting nodded. He was also feeling it.
"But now it's different. Everything in this regard has become traceable. Your world... seems to be becoming more and more 'complete'!"
Having said this, they both suddenly shut up, then looked at each other and smiled, knowing in their hearts that there was no need to continue discussing this matter.
Although there are signs of this, the gap between this "ruin of time" and true "completeness" is still as huge as an insane chasm. It is best not to have such thoughts at this time, so as not to go astray.
After that, You Fang used his magic again, pulled Gu Jiting into the dream world, and began to practice the "observation technique"...
When it comes to spiritual practice, there is a huge difference between having guidance from a pioneer and not having it. Therefore, even though his "observation skills" have made great progress, he will not miss this opportunity to learn.
……
……
at the same time.
Shanghai.
In the guest lounge of a comic convention, a young man who had just finished putting on makeup and tidying up his dress picked up the mobile phone that was placed beside him.
"Ok?"
Soon, he saw the message his apprentice sent him, and couldn't help but frowned: "Saitama? Didn't this guy decide to play the role of 'Fahai' to the end? Why did he change his mind?"
"Could it be... that he encountered some problems in Hangzhou?" The young man guessed, and then he opened the address book and called directly, "Hello, Qianzi, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, Master, I was afraid that you were resting, so I didn't call you. This is what happened..." Yuan Qian immediately told him the details of the situation, and his face suddenly darkened.
"So, there really is a 'White Snake' there, but it was stolen by someone, right?" After a moment, he confirmed in a deep voice.
"Since it's been robbed, then take it back. It's okay if you can't beat him, I'll help you beat him. So what if he's from the Lu family? It's just right, I'll make a bet. If he doesn't accept it, it will be a disgrace to his Lu family!"
After saying that, he didn't care about Yuan Qian's explanation and hung up the phone directly, looking very disappointed.
"Why is this guy always bullied wherever he goes?"
Just as he was getting angry, someone suddenly knocked on his door...
Knock knock knock!
"Mr. Shenwu, your photo signing is about to begin, please come out and get ready!" It was a staff member of the comic exhibition.
"Cough cough..."
Hearing this, the young man immediately remembered the things he was doing, so he quickly straightened his clothes and hair, and adjusted his voice.
Immediately afterwards...
"Okay—I know!"
A voice exactly the same as Kinomoto Sakura's came out of his mouth, and he smiled sweetly at the mirror...
It’s the beginning of the month, the monthly tickets have been updated, please vote online!!!
In addition, I want to explain something about "acting as a god". I said it when the book was put on the shelves. What I care more about is "interesting". I will write it in any way that makes it interesting.
Some people question whether anime characters can be acted, which I think is normal, but I have also set up the concept of "willpower" here. The dictionary annotation of this word is "power of will", rather than the various additional explanations added by fantasy novels. There is no need to substitute those things from the same novels and other authors, as there is no such thing in reality.
In addition, there is no need to question my knowledge of folklore or theology. I don’t think I know that much, but as an author, the information I look up and the knowledge I accumulate are definitely more than most readers. There are some things I don’t write about because it’s “boring” to write about them.
