My mother's love song

Then, he and Wuzhiqi disappeared in the center of the tornado.

……

……

……

In this way, Rhodes became the disciple of the immortal Wuzhiqi.

After leaving the underworld, the place where he was brought by Wuzhiqi was a deep green mountain with misty green smoke and gurgling streams.

Rhodes seemed to have heard of such a saying in his previous life that the so-called immortals were people who practiced Buddhism and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

However, the secluded place that Wuzhiqi brought him to was completely different from any natural environment on Earth that Rhodes knew.

A dense aura filled the air like purple smoke, and everywhere were elves and fantasy species that were impossible to see in modern times.

This place is neither in China nor in the East, but somewhere beyond the surface of the planet.

In the common people’s cognition, it is called the realm of immortals.

Every immortal who becomes an immortal through practice will live in the fairyland, have his own territory, and lead an isolated life in paradise.

This is consistent with Rhodes' understanding of immortals.

Similarly, after the end of the Age of Gods, immortals, like gods, could no longer interfere with the earth's surface as easily as they had in the past.

After arriving in the fairyland, Rhodes saw Wuzhiqi's true form, [Origin Wuzhiqi].

The one who descended into the underworld before was not Wuzhiqi's real body, but her [Yang Shen].

In other words, the overwhelming power Wuzhiqi displayed in the previous battle was far from all she had.

"Yang Shen, does it mean the soul leaves the body?" Rhodes asked without any shame.

"The one you are talking about is the [Yin Shen]."

In response to her disciple's question, the beautiful female fairy with white hair and skin raised her eyebrows.

"Haven't you heard of this story?

In the "Complete Record of the True Immortals of the Past Dynasties", the monks who used the Yin spirit could not take the flowers away. But the monks who used the Yang spirit could take the flowers home. "

When she mentioned the word "flowers", she looked at Rhodes with a meaningful smile.

Simply put, the Yang Shen is a physical clone or spirit with magical powers, a container that comes to the earth as a temporary substitute for the physical body.

It is somewhat similar to the relationship between the [Heroic Spirits] on the Throne of Heroes and the [Servants] that appear in the Holy Grail War.

In addition, although they are not part of the Eastern Magic Base, Mary and Morgan who have [Individual Manifestation], as well as the majority of Beasts, do similar things.

Rhodes asked: "If Yang Shen is defeated, what will happen to the origin?"

“Hehe…Are you thinking of ways to weaken me now?”

Wuzhiqi said: "Although the main body will receive feedback from the clone, the origin will not be harmed in any way."

"I see."

Rhodes nodded, stopped asking questions, and silently followed Wuzhiqi for a distance before arriving at the destination.

Should we say that it is worthy of being the original example of the divinity of the Monkey King in the Water Curtain Cave in Mount Huaguo? The place where Wuzhiqi practiced himself is located in a cave behind a huge waterfall.

After crossing the waterfall and entering the cave, the interior is suddenly open as if it is a different world. It is a magnificent palace full of Chinese style.

After all, he was an immortal who once boasted himself as the King of Huai River in front of King Yu. The palace he designed for himself was so magnificent and dazzling. There was no Taoist concept of self-cultivation and frugality in it at all.

Wuzhiqi brought the young man to the hall used for practicing.

"Please introduce yourself again. I am the immortal Wuzhiqi."

The silver-haired immortal crossed his arms across his chest, stared at the black-haired disciple with his burning golden eyes, and spoke in a condescending tone.

“Although he had already been expelled from the Mountain Court for his crimes and was no longer a member of the Ten Officials.

But you can rest assured of my level. Throughout history, there are only a handful of mind magicians who are better than me."

Is it because their positions changed from enemies to master and disciple?

I always feel that there is a layer of boasting in Wuzhiqi's tone than before.

The young man bowed his head to her and said, "Rod, I'll need your guidance and instruction in mind magic in the future."

"You're surprisingly polite... Master, huh.

Well, let's get started."

As Wuzhiqi said this, he suddenly scratched his head in confusion.

“Even if I were to say, ‘Okay, let’s get started!’, I wouldn’t know where to start…”

Rhodes frowned: "Don't you have any experience in educating disciples?"

Wuzhiqi also frowned: "Why should I do such a thankless task?"

Rhodes said: "How can it be a thankless task? Apprentices are very useful. For example, you can ask them to help you publish papers..."

Wuzhiqi said disdainfully: "If you want something, why not just plunder and dominate it?

Everything in the world is inferior to me. Why should I take care of the feelings of mediocre people?

I don't need to pay anything, and they should give me everything."

"........."

Rhodes was speechless.

No more.

This guy is hopeless.

Although he is an immortal and possesses wisdom and knowledge beyond that of ordinary people, his worldview is still completely at the level of monsters, which is both barbaric and primitive.

Rod decided to take control of the class himself.

He changed the subject and said, "Anyway, Master, before you start teaching me mind magic, let me first understand the basics of this area."

Wuzhiqi nodded: "Oh, that's right... What do you want to know?"

"First of all, I want to understand the difference between mind magic and Western magic," said Rhodes.

As the Grand Caster, the highest level of Western magic in history, how could Rod not know the difference between Eastern and Western magic?

He asked this deliberately in order to guide Wuzhiqi step by step to integrate into the identity of a master.

Suddenly, Rhodes felt like he was the master.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of becoming a disciple, I didn't learn anything. Instead, I had to teach this monkey-like fairy how to be a teacher.

But Wuzhiqi snorted with disdain: "You don't even know this?"

"........."

Rhodes suppressed his anger and said with a flattering smile: "Yes, yes, please trouble Master to explain it to this stupid disciple."

“…I really can’t do anything about you.”

Wuzhiqi's red lips curled up slightly, and he proudly flicked his shoulder-length silver hair.

"The biggest difference between mind magic and Western magic is the difference in processing logic."

"oh oh!"

Rhodes pretended to listen very carefully, which made Wuzhiqi even more proud.

“Many Western magic tricks are performed based on the magic base and magic formulas engraved on the spiritual veins.

However, magicians of thought magic activate magic based on thought disks and magic formulas that are created, shared, and maintained among the group."

Afterwards, Wuzhiqi explained for a long time.

All in all, Mind Magic is, in a sense, like a membership-based library.

The books that can be borrowed vary depending on the magic formula or permissions such as the [Thought Key Pattern], but thought magicians are definitely using the [Thought Disk].

"Thought disk?" Rhodes continued to play dumb.

“It is the root of thought magic, Tai Chi.

Just like Western magicians need to rely on the earth veins and spiritual veins of the Great Yuan, and the magic circuits of the Small Yuan to perform magic.

If a mind magician wants to perform magic, the great element he must use is the [Thought Disk].

Wuzhiqi said: "That was a super-large magic costume designed by the immortals of the Age of Gods four thousand years ago that was integrated with the planets."

The reason why magicians in the Age of Gods were able to perform magic on a scale far beyond that of modern times is because the Age of Gods had roots as the great source provided to magicians, but in modern times, the roots have become distant.

The reason why immortals can perform God-era thought magic in modern times is because they created the thought disk, a [pseudo-artificial source] that exists on the planet.

"Master, was he also one of the people who designed the Thought Disk?"

"That's right. The ten immortals of the Mountain Court completed the Thought Disk and used it to formulate the laws of the Chinese magic system."

At this point, Wuzhiqi straightened her breasts proudly and said, "I was also one of them at that time."

In the world of thought magic centered on Chinese civilization and the Chinese people, there are a total of two organizations.

One of them is a secular magic organization composed of humans, called the Spiral House.

It is an organization parallel to Clock Tower, Wandering Sea, Atlas Institute, etc., and its number of members may be even greater than that of Clock Tower.

The other is the [Mountain Court] which has nothing to do with the human world.

The ten immortals who exist in the immortal world, create and manage the thought disk, are called the Ten Officials of the Mountain Court.

The Mountain Court is actually a divine organization analogous to the Twelve Gods of Olympus and the Twelve Immortals of Kunlun Mountain.

Considering that Wuzhiqi was once one of the Ten Officials, although the Mountain Court is an original organization of Type-Moon, its members are most likely real characters in Chinese mythology.

“I actually once worked for such a powerful organization.”

Rhode clapped his hands loudly and showed a hypocritical look of admiration: "As expected of you, Master. You are amazing."

“Hmph…Hmph.”

Wuzhiqi's fair cheeks flushed red, and she glared at him fiercely: "Are you fooling me?"

"How is that possible! I am so touched."

Rhodes asked again: "Is thought magic the same as Taoism?"

Wuzhiqi said: "Taoism is only a part of thought magic."

"I see."

Rhodes remembered that Nezha was a warrior who was very good at using Taoist magic, but she could not be called a god-level magician.

Obviously, the Taoism [alchemy] and alchemy that we usually know are actually equivalent to modern magic and modern alchemy in Western magic.

"Only the thought magic that is linked to the [privileged domain] can be called a divine-level spell, a fairy spell."

Wuzhiqi explained.

“To access the privileged area, you must possess the highest level [Thought Key Pattern].

To do this, one must have extraordinary talent and ability as a mind magician, as well as the recommendation of the [Ancestor]. "

"Like Tai Gong Wang?"

Wuzhiqi said: "Ah... that little devil is a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, the supreme god of Taoism.

Not only that, he is also a genius Taoist priest who surpasses the Twelve Immortals of Kunlun Mountain...

If we only talk about talent, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest in history."

"That's it..."

Because of his sister, the Sky Fox, Rhode also knew something about the Conferred God Period of the Type-Moon World.

Compared with the original work, Type-Moon's Investiture of the Gods refers more to the settings of the Japanese version of Investiture of the Gods and Fujisaki Ryu's manga Investiture of the Gods, so Type-Moon's Investiture of the Gods system cannot be viewed with the conventional Chinese perception.

For example, in the early and middle stages of the comic "Investiture of the Gods", Wen Zhong single-handedly went to Kunlun Mountain and madly wiped out the entire upper echelons of the Chan sect, including Yuanshi Tianzun and the Twelve Immortals.

Then, when Jiejiao faced a catastrophe, the protagonist Taigong Wang made a brilliant appearance like Kurosaki Ichigo and defeated the big boss Wen Taishi with his cheats.

Simply put, in the Japanese perception: the Twelve Immortals of Kunlun Mountain are just stepping stones for Taigong Wang and supporting roles to set off the protagonist... The two are probably positioned similarly to the relationship between Type-Moon's Round Table and King Arthur.

In the Type-Moon Conferred God War, only the God Age coalition of Taigong Wang + the Twelve Immortals + the Western Zhou army was able to contend with the final boss, the white-faced, golden-haired nine-tailed fox, and it was Taigong Wang who was ultimately the victor.
