Chapter 210 The stronger, the weaker, the weaker, the stronger

Is knowing more a good thing?

This is of course a good thing, and it is a good thing at any time. The understanding of the world and the knowledge of all things are extremely important things. It is precisely because of this accumulation of knowledge and experience that people can It is better to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the summary and application of laws and rules can enable people to do many things that they could not do originally.

Even Du Chengfeng himself has enjoyed the benefits of this.

Or, in fact, everyone is enjoying the benefits in this regard, just like the Yin priest holding a bronze yue knife in the memory fragment he just saw, also enjoying the benefits of "knowing a lot" The convenience is because he knows more, so he can easily forge weapons, use those weird secret methods, and clearly know how to become stronger.

But is knowing more really a good thing?

"……not necessarily."

Du Chengfeng's eyes narrowed.

Whether something is a good thing or not, ultimately depends on the environment. If it was the peaceful world he was in before, knowing more would definitely be a good thing - but that's not necessarily the case now. After all, there is another way of saying this world.

That is the rule that Chu people have summarized through constant attempts.

“A strong will can change everything.”

It’s not the level of “I will do it unswervingly, and one day I can do it”, but it’s that you can really change reality through your own will - the best example is the man who was nailed to the wall not far away. The gray-black fire phoenix's extreme persistence in becoming an immortal even allowed it to get rid of the shackles of the body and become a pure aggregate of consciousness.Similarly, the emperor of the Nanchen Empire also relied on his extreme hatred for the gray-black fire phoenix to turn into the form of the Shadow Sword after his death, and even had the ability to harm the gray-black fire phoenix.

In the past, Du Chengfeng didn't think there was any problem with this. After all, he was used to the absurdity of this world, but now, he suddenly realized something.

That is, there is actually a conflict between the so-called "firm will" and "knowing more".

If you want to know more, you must maintain a relatively humble attitude. After all, the more you know, the more you will find that you still know too little. In the process of seeking knowledge, you have to go through countless difficulties. Only through hardship can we find the one thing that can be called "right" among countless mistakes.

But this "right" is not the real "absolute".

Du Chengfeng has experienced this firsthand. Whenever he thinks he understands the world well enough, this ghostly world will always give him a little "unexpected surprise", which directly leads to him time and time again. Revising his own cognition and incorporating new understanding into his experience has indeed made him know a lot, and even made him more aware of evil spirits.

But it also made him farther and farther away from the so-called "firmness".

There is no other way. If you want to maintain the absorption of new knowledge, it is difficult to be completely firm. After all, everything around you is constantly changing, and he naturally has to adapt to this change in order to understand and sum up experience—— But once he is too determined, he will not be able to absorb any new knowledge. After all, he has the power himself. He can not understand any rules and only rely on pure power to perform miracles.

What the Chu people call "hegemony" is the ultimate explanation of this idea. In the Chu people's understanding, a strong person must use his own will to trample everything in the world.

But this concept itself is contradictory.

If you want to practice dominance, you must have strength and become stronger. If you want to become stronger, you need to learn various skills and understand the rules of the world - and in the process of becoming stronger, The more you know, the harder it will be to remain firm in the complicated information, which will make people farther and farther away from being domineering.

"In other words, the stronger you are, the weaker you are, and the weaker you are, you are stronger?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

In any case, what he summarized is a bit too abstract, but such outrageous things actually exist in this ghostly world.

I am afraid that even science fiction novelists would not dare to adopt such an exaggerated setting. Even fantasy novels have normal upgrades and skill trees. Martial arts novels also have the ability to get stronger with practice. How can there be such a dilemma?
Under this crazy mechanism, is it really possible to become stronger?
It seems that there really is.

At least the Yin priest who originally held the bronze yue saber found a solution.

The memory fragments did not stop there, but continued. Under Du Chengfeng's observation, the Yin priest actually chose to lead the team to continue to destroy the city - just like the first time he broke into the enemy's city. Like that time, wherever he went, this Yin priest would not leave anyone alive. He would use his terrifying power to crush all living creatures in sight.

And in this process, the Yin priest was indeed growing stronger.

When they reached the third city, one of the five warriors could only choose to watch, and when they reached the fourth city, the Yin soldiers who could only choose to watch became two people. The fifth one, the sixth one, and finally the eighth one among the Yin priests, this powerful priest had already flown into the air, and with just a wave of his yue saber, he had already destroyed half of the city.

"Is this...the power of evil spirit?"

Du Chengfeng could vaguely notice that this power seemed a bit familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he always felt that there was something wrong - just because this power was not just wrapped around the weapon, but there was also a part of it. The Yin priest wielded it himself.

After this Yin priest performed seven so-called "sacrificial rituals", he actually gained power comparable to that of ghosts and gods.

And now, the eighth ritual has been completed.

Everything happened quietly, as if nothing had happened. At least in the eyes of the Yin warriors who were watching, the strong priest had not changed at all - but Du Chengfeng, who was looking at the bronze yue knife, could clearly see what happened. Feel the inexplicable power surging in the body of this Yin priest.

Obviously he did not feel the existence of any so-called ghosts and gods, but this Yin priest really gained power.

"In other words, you can gain power by completing your set goals?"

Although he had made a general summary, Du Chengfeng still felt that something was not quite right. This summary was still a bit too superficial, and he had not yet touched the real core of the method.

Similarly, like Du Chengfeng, the Yin priest also felt something was wrong after gaining this power.

"not enough."

Obviously possessing powerful power, the Yin priest's brows furrowed.

"Not enough at all."

Yes, it's not enough at all. Although this powerful power can destroy half of the city in one blow, it is comparable to ghosts and gods, but it is only comparable to ghosts and gods. After all, the Yin priest is not like real ghosts and gods. Despite being omnipotent, he is still trapped in this mortal body.

"Is it because I don't believe it enough?"

The Yin priest clenched the yue blade in his hand.

Not convinced enough?

Du Chengfeng suddenly realized the problem.

Yes, he should have thought of it a long time ago. Whether it is the preset goal or these so-called sacrifices, it is not so much realizing a certain sacrifice, but rather using these methods to make himself believe that he can pass this kind of sacrifice. way to gain strength.

"How can you still do this?"

Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded. He had never thought that someone could actually find a solution to this problem.And this plan seems to be very feasible.

After all, the remaining four Yin warriors have really become stronger. Although they have only experienced part of the sacrifice, they really have strong power and have become far more powerful than when they first set out.

The only one who failed to meet his own expectations was the Yin priest who took care of all this.

The priest who personally conducted this series of sacrifices knew all about this very well, and precisely because of this, some doubts arose in the heart of the priest.

It was this slight doubt that greatly reduced the effectiveness of the ritual on him.

This also made the Yin priest even more frustrated.

The war was over, and the soldiers naturally returned to the city. The rest of the soldiers were celebrating. Only the priest chose to drink. Although it looked like he was drinking to drown his sorrows, it was actually completely different.Just because in the context of the Yin people, wine is the essence of grains and a treasure that can communicate with ghosts and gods.

As for the way of communication, drinking is of course.

The more you drink, the more pious you become, and the more drunk you are, the more you can communicate with the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

In this way, the strong priest used a bronze wine vessel to scald the wine, and then filtered out the impurities, leaving only pure wine pulp, and then drank one cup after another, and soon he was drunk.

"In other words, using alcohol to anesthetize you to suppress your reason?"

Du Chengfeng's thinking became clearer and clearer.

No wonder the bronze yue saber immediately asked him for wine and meat after talking to him.

He has now seen the effect of wine, and as for meat, it probably does not refer to the meat eaten, but to the living sacrifices used as sacrifices.

Obviously, although the phrase "a firm will can change everything" was summed up by the Chu people, not everyone before the Chu people could realize this - and the Chu people's "Suppress everything with domineering" "This kind of relatively empty goal is different. These former Yin people not only discovered this, but also summarized a relatively effective improvement model.

Use "wine" and "meat" to make yourself believe, so that you can become firm, and then gain strength from this firmness.

"amazing……"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but admire.

This set of things is also very inspiring to him. After all, he is also troubled by the same problem now - or in other words, whether it is him or the unknown giant, those who inherited the Chu people's fighting methods in the past are actually all Have similar troubles.

When they can no longer find an opponent, when they can no longer see a stronger direction, how can they become stronger?
But now, this Yin priest gave the answer.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I can't just stop here, I can definitely go further!"

The drunken Yin priest pointed at the moon and roared loudly.

"I must become a ghost! I can definitely do it!"

"..."

Du Chengfeng listened attentively.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this was just an ordinary drunken madness, but in Du Chengfeng's eyes, this Yin priest was not simply drunk - under the anesthesia of alcohol, this priest's sanity was finally peeled off, And the strongest desire hidden in his heart was also revealed.

Perhaps, this is the ghost and god that the Yin people want to communicate with.

It is not some powerful creature from above, nor some hidden existence in the dark, but the ghost hidden deep in the heart of this Yin priest.

The Yin priest is trying to induce the ghost in his heart to make himself believe and persist, even if it is just blind belief.

After all, as long as you can get power, it is enough. As long as the power is strong enough, everything will surrender.

"...It seems to be right."

Du Chengfeng sighed.

Indeed, it is what Chu people call "dominance". This thing that has made so many Chu people miserable their entire lives, to the Yin people of the past, it can only be regarded as scraps.

Only blind belief requires hegemony. If you don't believe blindly, you don't need it. If you don't blindly believe, but you still believe, it means that people are on the right path, so why do you need to use hegemony to suppress something?

There is no need to use tyranny to suppress anything. This is the most ideal situation in the eyes of the Yin people.

With this understanding of power alone, this Yin priest has surpassed the Chu people of later generations.

"This is the Yin people..."

The better he knows his opponent, the more powerful Du Chengfeng can feel.

Although theoretically speaking, these ancient people in the past could not be stronger than those who came later, but that was only relatively speaking, and for these Yin people who were already top warriors, this kind of thinking was obviously not applicable - perhaps influenced by Due to the limitations of the times, their vision may not be as broad as that of later generations, but as long as they are given a little time to broaden their horizons and a chance to learn new things, these The strong men of the past will eventually shine brightly again.

The Yin people of the past were already very powerful, but based on this strength, they would continue to evolve.

"amazing."

After reading the remaining memories on the bronze fragments, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh once again.

"Presumably in the end, this Yin priest will really turn into a ghost."

　The belated second update, I was supposed to post it in the morning, but when I took a nap in the middle of the night and prepared to eat, I read a book. After reading it all morning, I was feeling numb. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

　　Another: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

　　Thanks to the book friends and my only reward, it is really a waste of money.

　　It's really time to take a rest at this point. I hope I can get up on time in the evening. If I can't, I'll see you in the middle of the night and send it.
