I changed the world

It is difficult to have true and pure faith in such a god or evil god.

In Zhang Jing's view, from a purely cultural perspective, this belongs to an era when primitive bloody sacrifices have not yet been transformed into true religion.After the war started, this possibility was eliminated.

This means that Zhang Jing currently does not have much experience in dealing with religious issues from the experience of ancient times, because at that time, most of the experience was based on suppression.

Zhang Jing was indeed worried before. He had been thinking about how to adjust and guide the current human religious system.

Because if there is no change at all, then with the current extraordinary situation and the current situation of rampant but disordered religious activities, I am afraid that it will become a paradise for evil gods and demons in the future.

Of course, if humans can survive by then, they will learn lessons from the disaster and form their own new social system. However, this will be at the cost of billions or even billions of lives.

Going back to the Great Mandala Dharma Protector Technique, its core is to use some high-level power as the cornerstone, from which "power seeds" are born. The relationship between this power seed and the cornerstone is an inappropriate one. For example, some are similar to the relationship between the gods in Zhang Jing's previous life.

In a sense, this is a logical product of the Taoism-consecrated gods of this world.

In addition, it is naturally impossible to cultivate power seeds through various complicated and strange methods such as sacrifices.However, this is not without flexibility. Whether it can be replaced by pure faith is also a question that Zhang Jing needs to consider.

Chapter 618 Observer Effect

After thinking about this, Zhang Jing already understood why Faji suddenly mentioned this secret technique. This was actually Faji hinting that he could consider using the inherent god system in Zhuxia mythology to turn it into reality in some form.

Then, real gods are used as links to link temples and palaces, and finally the entire system is integrated.

Of course, this god is not that god. In Zhang Jing's understanding, even if this system can be realized in the future, with his current ability, for a considerable period of time, such a "god" will be nothing more than some kind of pseudo. Just God.

"I roughly understand what Master means, but if this matter is to be realized, it will not be achieved overnight. There are still many details that need to be considered." Zhang Jing thought for a long time and slowly said.

"This is natural, this is a big deal. The old monk is just a person who offers advice, and you still need to think about it carefully." Faji clasped his hands together again. After thinking about it, he continued:

"The original intention of the sages who set up temples is to spread the Dharma and help people in the world. There are two cores in this. One is to select good people and teach them, and the other is to help those who are in trouble. No matter who is a monk, it is not for Seeking one's own glory and wealth, therefore, the current pompous atmosphere of the Buddha Religion needs to be reformed."

"It's just that it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. It's easy to know but hard to do when it comes to reforming the ethos. If this can be done, there may be a god who looks up three feet above his head, and it may have miraculous effects."

"What the master said is true. Today's world is extravagant. Although it is a prosperous age, there are hidden worries..." Zhang Jing sighed, and then looked at Faji: "I will consider this matter carefully. In addition, regarding the recruitment of disciples, How are you preparing, Master?"

"We already have a candidate, but it may be different from what the young master originally imagined..."

"Oh?"

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

The two chatted for a while, and Faji stood up to leave. Zhang Jing knew that he was busy and did not stay. Soon, he was the only one left in the room.

Zhang Jing picked up the tea cup, drank the remaining tea in the cup, and looked at the TV. The stock program on the TV had ended and an advertisement was playing. It was a drink branded as a new generation space drink...

Lowering his head, an ancient notebook appeared in Zhang Jing's hand again, which was his wish book.Zhang Jing turned it to the latest page:

I make a wish that I will soon find a trustworthy financial expert who has rich investment experience in global stocks, futures, etc. and can keep client confidentiality.

The wish has been fulfilled.

Deduct 3000 wishing points.

I make a wish: I am exploring the feasibility of establishing a hierarchical polytheistic system. Taking Xuanmen's "Genealogy of the Immortals of the Ten Directions" as an example, the divine system has a relatively clear hierarchical system.

The power of this system may come from some kind of edict, law, power cutting or other such concepts. The source of the cornerstone of power can be controlled by me.

The system exploits the beliefs of believers...

…………

……

Definition: The "god" in this wish does not refer to gods in the true sense, but to "gods", "earths", "ghosts" and other concepts in the traditional Eastern mythology of the earth. It can be understood as false gods or with Extraordinary individuals, and concepts like that.

Based on the above wishes, I need some inspiration.

The wish has been fulfilled.

Deduct 50000 wishing points.

Zhang Jing's eyes lingered on the last wish for a while, and then he let out a breath.Yes, the conversation I just had with Faji happened to be shortly after Zhang Jing made a new wish at noon.

This wish was not just a whim of Zhang Jing's, but had been conceived over and over again for many years.For Zhang Jing, to a certain extent, this desire represents the beginning of a change in his mentality from "mining history" to "partially creating" history.

Previously, Zhang Jing had been systematically collecting cultural relics, sorting out Buddhist treasures, and cleaning up relics. As time went by, some secrets from ancient times gradually emerged before his eyes, and they were connected from dot to line.

In this process, his exploration of the wish book is also going on at the same time. Even in some wishes, he will consciously test and explore some boundaries and behavioral logic of the wish book.

As he gained more and more information, he began to realize that there seemed to be a situation similar to what was called the "observer effect" in his previous life between this world and the wishing book.

The so-called "observer effect" means that in quantum physics, the state of microscopic particles is fuzzy. They are not definite particles, but a kind of wave-particle duality.This uncertainty can be eliminated by measuring the particles.When we measure a particle, its state collapses into a definite state.

And this phenomenon is extended to mean that the observer's "observation" itself has an impact on the results of the observed object.

Today, Zhang Jing is becoming more and more certain that this "observer effect" seems to be real.For example, if the same two wishes have the same purpose, they are both hoping to form a specific period of history, and the difference between them is:

Wish [-]: He is not clear about this period of history.

Wish [-]: He is partially clear about this period of history, or very clear about it, but wants to forcibly modify it.

There is no doubt that the number of wishing points required for wish two will be greater, and based on Zhang Jing's experience, the maximum number is definitely not 01:30 points.

This led to a situation that seemed extremely interesting but embarrassing to him.

From the perspective of information collection and control, he is certainly willing to learn more about transcendence, practice, paths, and the history of ancient times.In particular, he did not know the real reason why the glorious ancient civilization finally chose to leave the earth. There was no doubt that this was also the Sword of Damocles hanging above his head.

But, from another perspective, for him who owns the wishing book, it is based on the observer effect that seems to exist.When he truly knows the truth of a certain piece of history or knowledge, it precisely means that this piece of history or knowledge has been "observed" and thus "determined."

In this case, if the result is not what he wants, or if he tries to change it, the price he has to pay will be much greater than if he does not know this history or knowledge.

From this perspective, it seems that the more you know about some key aspects of knowledge, the better.Because for him, whether it is history or some intellectual things, they are not unchangeable, it is just the price to be paid.This is precisely what makes him different from ordinary people.

Chapter 619 Thinking about the problem in the worst direction

After realizing this problem, Zhang Jing also had some entanglements, because as his cultivation gradually improved, the difficulty of the wishes involved also continued to rise. It is conceivable that in some future wishes, if Considering the problems involved in the "observer effect", the price that will be paid is not a small amount.

Especially, after realizing this problem, he suddenly had a bolder idea.That is, using the "observer effect", the result is in an "uncertain" state before it is "measured".Artificially set results.

Take for example the answer to the question of why the ancient practitioners finally left the earth that he was most worried about.At the current moment, the answer to this question is obviously not finalized and is in an "uncertain" state.

In other words, the answer to this question is extremely malleable. Judging from his long-term experience in using wish books, there must be a "real reason" for this question in history.But when he doesn't know the reason, if he wants to modify it to the result he is more willing to see, the points he needs to spend must be far less than what he is unwilling to face after actually learning the result. , you want to modify the points that will be spent.

Of course, there is another possibility that after knowing the final reason, he found that the original reason was good. For example, it was just that the ancient sages discovered a better and more suitable place for human beings to live, and decided to abandon their homes and careers. Of course, in order to protect the remaining members of the same race on the earth, the void was sealed...

If that was the case, then Zhang Jing would not need to try to modify it at all after knowing the truth.

However, although this possibility does not exist, and is quite possible, Zhang Jing does not dare to gamble. His subconscious tells him that it is not a good idea.

The root cause is that in his previous life, when he was a child, his father told him that he should never take chances and consider the worst-case scenario in everything.

Later he learned that there is something called Murphy's Law: If there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

Therefore, today Zhang Jing would rather choose to believe that there was a "bad" result in history, instead of taking a chance on luck, because it is very likely that neither he nor the earth's civilization can afford that result.

However, based on his current cultivation level, at his current stage, he cannot directly use the wish book to modify this result.

In his imagination, it was assumed that there was a "bad" reason that caused many great powers in ancient times to be unable to cope with it, so that they had to seal off the entire solar system and then abandon their homes and careers and run away.Then this matter will never be lower than the level of "god". In other words, from the perspective of the cultivation path, it is something that at least a sixth-level monk can deal with.

As for the wish book, there is no way to know how many wish points will be consumed before making a wish, and there is no way to give up the wish.

This leads to the fact that if he makes a wish with his current strength, there is a high probability that a wish will appear that requires an astronomical number of wishing points. As a result, if the wish fails, it is okay, but if he barely succeeds, then he will cry. No tears, because there is a high probability that he will not be able to escape the backlash he will face next.

With Zhang Jing's always steady character, he decided to gradually try to solve this wish after he became stronger.Because, he has always had a feeling, although he has not yet completely determined this feeling, that is, for the same wish, when his own strength is different, the wishing points required are different.

Regardless of whether this guess is true, at least he only dared to truly test that wish when he was able to withstand such side effects.

Of course, before that, he could have made some other attempts to confirm his conjecture.

Zhang Jing's first attempt was his latest wish.

The incident at Beacon Castle, coupled with the extraordinary incidents and even disasters that began to appear in various places, forced Zhang Jing to think about a more direct solution.

At the same time, as his control of the Tianchu Sword gradually deepened, and his previous experiences also made him come into contact with quite a few secrets about the gods themselves, which inevitably brought him into contact with the concept of "faith".

However, in his opinion, what many people think of as "faith" today cannot be described in the same way as the bloody sacrifices of ancient times.And the information in his hand is relatively missing at this link.

In fact, this kind of knowledge involving the gods themselves is extremely secretive.Many of them cannot be accurately described and recorded in words.However, this is exactly what Zhang Jing wants. He feels that because of this, he can have the opportunity to guide it in the direction he wants, and finally obtain the results he wants through the "observer effect".

And if this attempt can succeed, it means that he can also replicate today's attempt in other directions in the future.Use the wish book to guide those important conclusions that you are not sure about in the direction you want.

The reason why he decided to start from the perspective of "faith" was also due to his own considerations.

In his opinion, the current earth is already a religious world in a de facto sense. Although some people may not be willing to admit this conclusion, in fact, according to a data Zhang Jing saw in his previous life, there are approximately 91% of the population adheres to some religion.

China in Zhang Jing's previous life was one of the few secular countries in the world.Even so, there are still quite a few followers of Buddhism, Taoism and other religions.Southeast Asia is dominated by Buddhism. As for most of the Middle East, West Asia, and North Africa, they are areas that believe in Islam. South America mainly believes in Catholicism, North America, Western Europe, and Northern Europe are dominated by Protestantism and Catholicism. Eastern Europe and Parts of Central Europe are dominated by Orthodox Christianity... In short, when you scan the map, in most areas, you can always find one or more dominant religions.

In this world, because certain revolutions sweeping the world have not yet broken out, the number of people who believe in religion will increase even further than the above figures.Although strictly speaking, the prosperity of science and technology, the popularization of education and the spread of evolutionary theory have made most religious believers only superficial believers and only believe in cultural aspects.

The cat here in Chapter 6 definitely has a grudge against surveillance!

However, even so, there is still a huge gap between shallow faith and unbelief, because even the most superficial believer, once a miracle appears in front of him, will have certain things engraved in his cultural genes since he was a child. The switch will be activated, making it very likely to transform into the most devout believer in a short period of time.

Coupled with the deep soil accumulated by the religious atmosphere in the world for more than 2000 years, Zhang Jing believes that instead of thinking about how to eradicate religion, which is an unrealistic dream, it is better to think about how to take advantage of the situation and make it work for me.

As for how to use faith?Zhang Jing's current knowledge alone is far from enough.However, because of this, Zhang Jing was given the opportunity to make use of the wish.

Since you still don’t know much about it, use the wishing book to “test” it.

In Zhang Jing’s vision, “faith” itself should ideally become a resource that can be utilized.At the same time, it would be great if some of the religious sites and religious figures scattered around the world could become nodes in dealing with extraordinary disasters.

He even tried to refer to the mature concepts in some novels in his previous life and regarded "faith" as a special renewable resource. Of course, based on the particularity of this world, the original version copied the concept of "faith" in some novels in his previous life. It's not possible. It can only be said that he hopes to adjust in this direction, but what can be done specifically needs to be combined with the power system of this world.

Of course, this does not mean that he will revise the plans he has laid out before. As Fazheng said, he is prepared to go hand in hand with both worldly aspects.

In a sense, this is not inconsistent with certain backgrounds of Eastern culture.Just like in Zhang Jing's previous life, many people did not know that Buddhism in the academic sense and Buddhism in many people's religious concepts are two different entities.

Taoism in the academic sense is not the same thing as Taoist sacrifices, incense offerings, and worship in the religious sense...

In addition to the hidden sect that will always maintain a sense of mystery, he will also try to construct a divine system that can bestow power. In his conception, this is a system somewhat similar to cloud computing.

However, although the idea is beautiful, you have to be cautious when trying it. In particular, the system also involves the concept of "gods". Although in Zhang Jing's vision, the system he initially established reached as far away as Not at the level of "god" in the true sense, it can only be said to be a false god at best.

But even so, after all, it involves the gods themselves. In particular, he does not know whether this concept will involve the adjustment of the power rules of gods or similar levels. If it involves the adjustment of rules at this level, then based on his experience, A large number of wish points will also be paid in addition.

So, after much thought, he made this seemingly ambiguous wish.From the beginning, what he used was not the usual "I am preparing XXXX", but "I am exploring XXXX".

Use the word "explore" to increase the uncertainty of the wish to make it less difficult.In the subsequent wishes, the words were mostly ambiguous. In Zhang Jing's view, this wish was actually tentative. Even if the final result was not only satisfactory, it would be fine, but he was afraid of the current situation. Unaffordable side effects.

Therefore, at the end of the wish, Zhang Jing used the method of adding "definition" to further weaken the level of power involved in the wish; at the same time, for the sake of safety, he only asked for "I need some inspiration" instead of directly completing the wish.

Not long after he made his wish, the conversation with Faji took place. Previously, the wandering monk was visiting famous temples in various places. Zhang Jing hoped that he could further systematically explore the current situation of Buddha Sect.After all, unlike Zhang Taihe, this monk was not at the top of the sect during his lifetime, so his understanding of some aspects of the Buddha Sect was inevitably biased. Therefore, Zhang Jing still hoped to spend some time to make the plan more thorough. .

It just so happened that at this time, Faji, who had been traveling around the world, just completed his journey and had some ideas that he needed to communicate with Zhang Jing...

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

Looking at the reminder on the wishing book that the wish has been fulfilled, Zhang Jing carefully looked at the 50000 wishing points deducted. This number of points is not too small. However, considering Zhang Jing's current wishing points struck by lightning, it is not considered extraordinary. many.At present, his total number of wishing points is still 1217653. This level of loss is expected to be recovered soon for Zhang Jing's current wishing point accumulation status.

Apparently, this wish was fulfilled in the form of Faji's suggestion.From some of the details described by Faji, Zhang Jing did get a lot of inspiration, which also made the idea that was originally just in the framework stage a huge step forward. It can even be said to be an extremely important step. Stride.

From this perspective, Zhang Jing also realized that his previous idea might really be feasible, that is, he could influence many important events, history and even rules through the "observer effect"...

承和37年西历2016年3月31日20:11临州云山坊

The sky has turned completely dark, and a faint mist hangs over the streets. From a distance, it is not so clear.About two intersections away from Anzhai No. 1603, Yunshanfang, a 2011 black business car was parked quietly on the roadside.

Sitting in the driver's seat of the car was a young woman with a ponytail, chewing bubble gum and looking like a professional white-collar worker.Sitting in the back seat of his car was a thin young man, holding a laptop. On the computer screen was a monitoring system that was cut into multiple small screens. However, at this time, his monitoring system , there are many small screens, which are black.

"Hey, Sister Yu, what the hell are we here at this time? It's only been less than a day, and 6 surveillance cameras were broken just after they were installed. They were either eaten by mice or knocked down by cats. There are still The camera was obscured by bird poop...the little animals here must be competing with the surveillance, it's simply outrageous!"

Just when the young man was complaining, he saw a small screen in the upper right corner of his screen suddenly flicker, and then he saw a curious cat's face on the screen, and then he saw the cat stretching out its little paws. One claw, another claw...the third claw...hit...the screen went black...

"Damn it! This is the seventh one! The cat here definitely has a grudge against the surveillance camera!"

Chapter 621 Weird Coincidence

The young man's eyes widened in anger, and he almost punched the screen and killed the cat through the screen.

"Sister Yu, no, if this continues, our monitoring won't last long, no amount of monitoring will be enough!" The young man complained bitterly.

"Xiao Gu, do you think... could these cats be artificially trained?" The woman sitting in the driver's seat frowned and turned around, looked at the laptop screen in the young man's hand, and suddenly asked a question.

The young man was stunned when he heard this, and then after thinking for a while, he replied: "I don't think so. Including the situation just now, a total of 7 cameras were damaged. Two of them were probably caused by rats, at least one was caused by birds, and only one was damaged by rats. Three times it was a cat, and one time the condition was unknown.”

"It's just that these three damages caused by cats, I have observed that they are not caused by the same cat. At least judging from the current situation, it is indeed a problem caused by various coincidences and the curiosity of small animals." That person The young man scratched his hair and said helplessly.

The two were silent for a while, and finally sighed together. Judging from the current situation, this was just bad luck...
