Chapter 213 Doing things that cannot be done
Normal people will not drink a lot of alcohol. After all, anyone with a little common sense knows that this is an extremely dangerous thing.

But there are still many people who drink too much, just because after consuming a certain amount of alcohol, the brain will be paralyzed, rationality will gradually fade away, and people's judgment will also significantly decline - the most obvious example is "This little drink is nothing." , I can still drink." But once you have this idea, you are not far from being completely drunk.

Just like how Du Chengfeng is now, with 26 bottles placed around him, he continues to drink, feeling that he can still drink some more.

"After all, the alcohol content is too low. Drinking this thing is no different from drinking water."

This gave Du Chengfeng the confidence to continue drinking. He felt that it would be difficult to get him drunk with such cheap wine.

"By the way, why do I drink?"

After putting the 32 bottles at hand, Du Chengfeng finally remembered that he didn't seem to be drinking heavily just for the sake of drinking.

"It should be to become stronger...oh yes, to communicate with ghosts and gods."

After thinking of this, Du Chengfeng quickly put down the bottle of wine and imitated the appearance of the Yin priest in his memory, trying to communicate with ghosts and gods.

But unfortunately, he still couldn't communicate anything.

Maybe the misty ghosts and gods really didn't care for him, or maybe it was because he was not from Yin. In short, this drunken communication was still in vain.

This also made Du Chengfeng, who had drunk too much, extremely angry.

"What! Did it give you face?"

The angry Du Chengfeng caught the ghost closest to him and peed on the pheasant-like ghost's head.

After opening the gate and releasing the water, Du Chengfeng, who had vented some of his anger, finally lost some of his anger and recognized the reality he was facing - after all, not everyone in the Yin people could be a priest, and they must have been favored by ghosts and gods. Only people can get this position.As for his words, like those warriors, he was obviously not the kind to be favored by ghosts and gods.

However, he has become accustomed to this kind of thing. After all, he has never received much favor from others. Except for the kind-hearted Carpenter Li who is willing to lend him a hand, he still relies on himself to survive.

The mountains fall, the water dries up, people have to rely on themselves after all.

"What kind of ghosts are you looking for! I'm not looking for you anymore!"

After spitting on the ground, Du Chengfeng lifted up his pants.

Yes, why do we have to look for some ghost or god?Has he really reached the point where he can only rely on ghosts and gods?Yes, the Yin people did gain great power by relying on the so-called ghosts in their hearts, but he was not a Yin person. Why did he have to follow the Yin people's methods?

Can't he do it on his own?Can't you gain strength by relying only on yourself?

"Can't we be as strong as ghosts and gods by relying only on our bodies?"

At this moment, doubts arose in Du Chengfeng's mind.

No, not even that.

"Can't humans be stronger than ghosts and gods?"

can.

must be able to.

You know, when humans were still monkeys, weren't those huge and ferocious beasts like ghosts and gods to these monkeys?

If those monkeys have always been afraid of ferocious beasts and feel that ferocious beasts are unrivaled in power, then these monkeys may never be able to get down from the trees for the rest of their lives, and naturally there will be no such thing as humans - but obviously, these monkeys They finally came down from the trees, made spears and axes from stones, and began to destroy the ferocious beasts in units.

In the past, monkeys defeated ferocious beasts, which was the reason for the emergence of human beings.

So now he can naturally surpass those so-called ghosts and gods.

After all, he is also human.

"So how to defeat ghosts and gods..."

Du Chengfeng, who had drunk too much, was thinking about a solution while shaking his head.

To defeat ghosts and gods, he does not necessarily need unrivaled power. After all, first of all, he has to find a ghost and god who can fight him - but obviously, those illusory ghosts and gods cannot manifest themselves and fight him. , which directly caused him to be unable to proofread his target even if he wanted to.

"Wait a minute, is there another ghost in the house?"

With this in mind, Du Chengfeng pushed the door open again and entered the house.

He only saw a gray-black pheasant nailed to the ground with a sword.

"Oh, it's you."

Du Chengfeng immediately lost interest. This kind of thing naturally cannot be called a ghost or god. The ghost and god must be stronger than this, much stronger than this...

So what are the strengths of ghosts and gods?
Du Chengfeng suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know much about the so-called "ghosts and gods" in the Yin people's context.

Since the scenes he saw on the bronze fragments were only fragmentary fragments, he really hadn't systematically studied the holder's experience as he had done before sharpening the knife. He had only watched a few rituals, and he was far from the real Yin people. The understanding of ghosts and gods is still too far behind.

The real Yin people obviously had rules and regulations when performing rituals, and they also had their own set of standards for judging ghosts and gods.As for his words...he only knows what Yin people say, that ghosts and gods are omnipotent.

But when it came to being omnipotent, he couldn't help but think of another problem.

If ghosts and gods are really omnipotent, can they create a stone that they cannot lift?
Du Chengfeng thought about it for a while, but decided on the idea, mainly because it was a bit of an argument and would be boring.

But just like the well-known "Don't think about elephants", the more you say not to think about something, the more you will inevitably think about something - so Du Chengfeng simply changed his mind, or in other words, changed to another A way to raise the bar.

That is, can ghosts and gods do things they cannot do?
"Um……"

Du Chengfeng fell into silence again.

He didn't know whether ghosts and gods could do it, but he said it should be possible - after all, the reason why he stayed in this village was to challenge things he couldn't do.

So, can he do it now?
"Should...can you?"

With this thought in mind, Du Chengfeng simply packed up the guys and walked towards the ruins of the mountain.

There are some fields next to the ruins on the hilltop, which have been rented since Yu Laoer's father's generation. Even if Du Chengfeng doesn't know how to cultivate the fields, he can get a rough idea by copying them—— In the past, he couldn't do such delicate operations. At that time, he could only use a big knife to blow down the entire mountain.

But now, he should be able to do it.

Do what you couldn't do before.

"Get up!" Du Chengfeng waved his hand, and all the vegetation and rocks within a radius of more than ten feet floated into the air.

"Come!"

Du Chengfeng made a fist with one hand, and the vegetation and rocks flew together and formed a ball.

Supporting such a huge mass with evil spirit is quite difficult even for him now - so the big ball was quickly thrown aside by him, which was what announced his attempt this time. fail.

However, Du Chengfeng was not discouraged. After all, attempts would always fail, and along the way, he had experienced far more failures than such trivial matters.

What's more, this attempt brought more than just failure.

And some, new inspiration.

Using evil spirit to make those gravels and grass fly up, this move may seem to be bluffing, but it only looks bluffing. In essence, it is no different from a monkey picking up stones and throwing them out - but the reason why the monkey can To defeat many ferocious beasts and evolve into a human being, one does not rely solely on throwing stones, but on polishing stones into various tools, thereby turning them into "weapons" that can truly be used in combat.

Using tools is the embodiment of human wisdom.

So, can the evil spirit itself be used as a tool?
"Yes, this can indeed be done."

Not all weapons are only used for killing. Many weapons themselves also have the properties of tools. For example, an ax can be used to chop wood and split firewood. For example, a knife can be used to split grass and trees to open a path... But when it comes to this aspect, he was most impressed. Yes, it was the same formation just after they came out of Yizhou City.

The old eunuch who was sent out by the Nanchen royal family to greet him was the best weapon: thin and tough silk threads. These expensive silk threads could cut people's necks, weave them into clothes and wear them, and they could even be cut open on the hull of a ship. When traveling, they would be woven into cloth to block water leaks. If they really fell into the water, they could even be woven into a small boat to escape.

These are only the uses that the old eunuch has shown. As for those that have not been shown, there will only be more.

If you think about it this way, evil spirits are far more flexible than silk threads. There is no reason why evil spirits cannot do things that silk threads can do. Of course, this formless power cannot be woven into tools. It was quite difficult, but why did he have to be like the old eunuch, using only the evil spirit itself as a tool?
"If a weight is tied to one end of the silk thread, it will be a very powerful meteor hammer."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look at the grass, trees and rocks that he originally regarded as garbage.

Yes, wood and stone.

In the past, he only thought that these things were rubbish and an obstacle that hindered him from doing things, but looking at it now...didn't those monkeys use these things to defeat the beasts back then?
"rise!"

With Du Chengfeng's wave, the vegetation and rocks flew up again - but this time, when Du Chengfeng clenched his fist, the vegetation and rocks did not just simply form into a ball.

Instead, under Du Chengfeng's conscious control, he arranged and combined them while connecting and tightening them.

Until a huge digging bucket appeared in Du Chengfeng's sight.

"It's time to do this!"

Du Chengfeng's thoughts have never been so clear-cut, and things have finally returned to areas he is familiar with - indeed, if all the rocks in the ruins are made to fly, he may not be able to figure out what to do.But if he just controls the excavator to clean up the entire ruins, wouldn't he know how to do it?
Of course he won't, after all, he has never learned the technical work of an excavator, but the evil spirit he currently controls is far more useful than machinery.

There is no need to be familiar with the operating specifications or to master any professional skills. For him, the evil spirit is a power that can be commanded like an arm. Of course, now, it can even be called a commanding arm. This power is no longer It can only be used to smash things, but it can actually pick up things.

"Perhaps this is the most appropriate use of evil spirit?"

While digging through the vegetation and rocks buried in the ground, Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

Although he always feels that something is wrong, based on his personal experience, it seems that this is indeed the case - if the evil spirit is used to kill people, it can only be used in that way, and it only needs to be blasted away. If it's not enough, then increase the amount... This kind of thing has no technical content, just like throwing a stone, any monkey can do it.

But now, it is completely different.

Combining the illusory evil spirit with various materials in reality can create the most perfect tool - no matter how ordinary the materials are, as long as the imagination is rich enough, all the impossible will become possible.

Just like now, he really couldn't make all the rocks fly at the same time, but he could build five buckets at the same time to excavate the ruins, and as more and more vegetation and rocks were excavated, the buckets also changed. More and more.

One of the biggest reasons why monkeys in the past were able to defeat other beasts was because they knew how to make and use tools.

Making and using tools are connected together. If you only know how to use existing tools, you can only be regarded as a smarter monkey at best.

Knowing how to make targeted tools according to the situation they face is the embodiment of wisdom and the confidence they have to compete with those ferocious beasts, allowing them to do things they could not do originally.

And now, Du Chengfeng has finally embarked on this path.

He no longer wants to communicate with ghosts and gods, this kind of thing is no longer necessary.

After all, the real power has always been in his hands.

“So this is what it feels like to be omnipotent.”

At this moment, Du Chengfeng suddenly remembered the issue he wanted to argue about before.

If it were him, would he be able to create a stone that he couldn't lift no matter what?
Yes, this kind of thing is too simple. As long as a building is poured with concrete, ten people can't lift it.

But if he wanted to do it, he could completely blast that building into rubble and then use the evil spirit machine to move it elsewhere.

Perhaps this is true omnipotence.

Although there was still no improvement in strength, Du Chengfeng clearly realized that at this moment, he might be able to kill ten of his previous selves.

This is not a difference in strength.

It's the difference between humans and monkeys.

So, what is the biggest difference between humans and monkeys?

That is, a monkey will never be stupid enough to drink more than 30 bottles of cheap wine in a row.

"vomit."

The bucket made of fifteen gravels fell to the ground, and Du Chengfeng was already holding his knees and vomiting.

"No, I don't feel very well, so I need to take a nap..."

With this in mind, Du Chengfeng gathered some rocks and trees to use as a quilt and covered himself directly.

　One update contains [-] words, and the next update will probably be in the morning.

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

　　I eat something, take a nap, and try to be as healthy as possible.
