The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 65 Ask if the sky can hold it?
Ergou has always been very cautious, especially after a life-and-death fight with two monsters with the characteristics of terror infection, he has to maintain 12 points of vigilance.

Don't ask why Ergou is so "cowardly", the last guy who was not cautious enough, but in front of him, he performed what is called "Life's great progress is too fast, it's too exciting!" and was licked by Ergou Take a sip of the luxurious gift bag.

Ergou's self-examination is very simple. He only needs to recite [Heavenly Questions] silently once.

That's right!It is the long poem [Tianwen] written by Qu Yuan, a famous poet of the Chu State in the Warring States Period, the ancestor of Chu Ci, and a doctor of Sanlu.

[Tianwen] is a chapter that all demon slayers must memorize and recite silently. The whole poem has more than 370 sentences and more than 500 words. Quzi raised more than 170 questions to heaven (?) in the form of questions, including the worldly questions. The question of the principle of all things.

Do you think that the questions contained in these verses are Dr. Qu’s complaints because of his lack of ambition?

Superficial!
This is actually Qu Zi's challenge to an unknown existence that claims to know everything.

It's a pity that Qu Zi finally won the challenge, but lost his most cherished country and ideal, and everyone knows the final result.

He threw himself into the Miluo River.

Reciting [Tianwen] is a kind of torture for any demon slayer, especially for those warriors who can't read a lot.

But [Tianwen] is the most useful weapon that a demon slayer can use to identify whether he has been corrupted by evil.

[Heavenly Question] represents the most embarrassing black history of the Chaos bosses, and is a shameful proof of their complete failure in front of mortals.

If it is said that normal human beings recite the long poem [Heavenly Questions]—excluding those scholars who can memorize it from a glance, and reciting laws and regulations is as easy as eating and drinking water—it is like a scumbag who memorizes [Yueyang Tower] by rote.

Then a corrupted human being or a hidden chaotic evil cult reciting [Heavenly Questions] is like a Mengxin who has just joined the boss, but the first time he opens his mouth, he exposes the scandalous black history of the boss and shits on the top of the boss. , the kind that dances on the grave.

Any Chaos believer or Chaos creature who dares to chant [Heavenly Questions] will suffer the most ruthless punishment from the Chaos bosses.

In fact, even the most knowledgeable scholar has even memorized the long poem [Tianwen] upside down before. When he becomes depraved, the content of [Tianwen] will disappear in its memory, and a single word can no longer be read. The kind you recall.

If they want to recite her, they have to read the words that are not sentences (prepared by someone) one by one. After each sentence is read, they will suffer a torture-like self-mutilation - sexual - trauma.

Because of Ergou's unique background, the first lesson he received from Chen Tong'e and his wife was to memorize "Heavenly Questions", which was really an extremely painful process.

"say:

At the beginning of ancient times, who preached it?
The upper and lower are not formed, why test it?

Mingzhao is dark, who can do it to the extreme?
Feng Yiweixiang, how did he know it?
······"

Anyone who recites "Heavenly Questions" for the first time will feel phantom pain like a knife cutting back and forth in his brain every time he recites a sentence. Injured, but can't help avoiding anything related to the content of [Heavenly Questions].

Of course, if you can endure the pain of reciting [Tianwen] for the first time, every time you recite it next time, this phantom pain will become lighter. Eventually, you will become bright and clear, and your soul will be clear, just like a new life.

And there are demon extermination masters, such as Ergou, at the beginning of the first recitation of [Heavenly Questions], there will be elders or partners who recite it in advance many times in advance, and reduce the phantom pain of the first time through pre-listening.

However, even though Master Pang had recited [Tianwen] to Ergou dozens of times in advance, when he took the initiative to recite it for the first time, he suffered the most painful phantom pain in his life.

However, under the strong pressure of his master and his wife, he still put a lot of effort into reciting the entire poem "Tianwen" fluently, and then completed the first step of the demon slayer's test.

This time to kill the demon, Ergou fought for several days and nights, and suffered countless hardships. Now that the matter is over, he has to check himself.

And his first means of self-test is to silently recite [Heavenly Questions].

The good news is that Ergou has not forgotten the poem [Tianwen], which means that he has not been corrupted by evil.

The bad news is that every time he silently recited a verse of [Tianwen], he would feel inexplicable irritability in his heart, and these negative emotions gathered together and were trying to stir up the darkness in Ergou's heart.

As a novice who has been in the industry for less than a year, Ergou naturally doesn't know what's going on. He needs the guidance of more experienced elders.

Although Chen Tong'e and his wife are not at home, it does not mean that Ergou cannot find a place to turn to for help.

Insight!This is where Chen Tonge left Ergou for help.

Obviously, Ergou needs to go to the Lingji Temple and ask the old Lingji Taoist there to ask about the situation.

Although there are some things at home that are not peaceful, such as his mother being a bit troublesome, leaving the Fan family woman to stay, and having several minor verbal conflicts with her sister-in-law Yang, Ergou is still impatient. I rushed to Lingji Temple.

This is definitely not Ergou trying to avoid the Shura field at home, absolutely not!
Lingji Temple is located on an unnamed mountain more than [-] miles northwest of Yecheng. The Taoist temple is small in area, with only one main hall, two side rooms, and a wall made of rocks.

Moreover, the clever buildings are mottled and dilapidated, always giving people a cold feeling like a deserted mountain temple.

But there is a saying that is good, the mountain is not high, but there are immortals.

Although the Lingji temple is dilapidated, there are real Taoist monks sitting in the town, so the reputation of this Taoist temple in Yecheng is not bad, and it is even quite influential in several nearby counties.

When Ergou came to the door, he was catching up with a rich businessman from Haozhou who came to ask for a son.

This wealthy businessman from Haozhou was named Zhu, and his ancestral home was from Dingyuan County. He originally came to Yecheng to do business, but at the "good time", he got married and settled here.

This time Zhu Yuanwai is going north to do business, and his future is uncertain. He is worried that his child will be left unattended at home, and some of his family property will cause covetousness from his wife and family, so he cruelly sends his son to Lingji Temple for foster care.

Ergou didn't really see the owner of the Zhu family, but he did see the foster child.

Looking at the age of seven or eight, he looks very delicate and well-behaved. As soon as he entered the Taoist temple, he got a Taoist title, called Shenjizi, but he was regarded as the successor of the mantle by the wise old Taoist.

Old Daoist Lingji was very happy with Ergou's arrival, and said: "The Sa family usually heard about you from the old ghost Chen many times, but this time I finally got to see you in person, little brother of the Chen family. For years, I have always been laughing from ear to ear, if the old Taoist has such a good student like you, I am afraid that I can wake up laughing at night from my dreams!"

Ergou looked a little shocked at being praised, but he smiled modestly and said: "Taoist Master, you are so ridiculous! The boy is clumsy, and he is as serious as my master, how can I boast! But the boy next to Taoist Master is so smart It’s so extraordinary, I’m afraid the future will be limitless!”

However, the old man was tickled by Ergou's words. He just laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows. He said to himself: "What the hell! This kid looks like he is weak. I don't know if he will become a talent in the future!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the wise old man asked directly: "Did the Chen family encounter any difficulties when they came to the Sa family this time?"

When Ergou told about the fact that he had intercepted and killed the Liu brothers halfway, the old man's eyes widened in shock, and even the roots of his goatee were cut off, but he kept saying how it was possible.
