Chapter 413: The Black Book of the Undead
Huang Chao did not dare to underestimate the super-distance rule: "If Imerton hadn't been put away, the curse might have been triggered in an instant, even if Imerton was on the other side of the earth!"
As a kind of fantasy power, spells belong to the spiritual realm. Although they can cause various physical phenomena, they cannot be explained by the scientific principles of the real world. All specious explanations are just far-fetched, and most of them cannot be justified. Just ask a few more detailed questions, and you will find that they do not conform to the inherent physical principles at all.
There are two phenomena that stand out here. Huang Chao has seen them both in the Golden Sun Sutra and the Black Sutra of the Dead. They are action at a distance and similar correlation. The power of spells does not obey the rules of physical space, their effects are not limited by distance, and there is no need for a medium between reactants, only a conceptual connection. As for the speed of fireballs or ice arrows, that is because they have caused physical phenomena. For example, for the curse that is closer to the "law", the effect of the spell has nothing to do with the physical distance. Once the conceptual connection is established, it will be connected spiritually. Physical cover has no effect, and the distance will not affect the effective time.
As for similarity and correlation, it fully demonstrates the illogicality of spells. After all, spells come from people's fantasy. People intuitively feel that two things are similar, and they will think that they are related. The simplest example is Zha Xiaoren. There are also some things in the Black Book of the Dead that require props and rituals, and many things embody this feature. So explaining magic with real science is a complete waste of time.
Huang Chao is in a fantasy world, where all kinds of fantasy powers really exist, and many illogical explanations have also become real things. All irrationality can be understood as long as the independent and spiritual existence beyond the material is recognized. Each system has its own set of unique descriptions, but Huang Chao is not confused by these "nouns", and everything can be unified under the "spiritual interference substance".
There are many black magics in the Black Book of the Dead, the most famous of which is of course the spell that brings the dead back to life. This spell includes two types, one is the kind that resurrects Ansuna, not only to read, but also to beg Anubis to put the soul back. The pool in the ancient tomb is said to lead to the underworld, and Ansuna's soul will emerge from it. The other is to read it once, and the dead can be resurrected. Eve just read a few words and Immorton came back to life. In the second part, her son also read a few words, and Eve was resurrected... There is no need for rituals at all. and prostration.
However, these people are dead after all, and there are corresponding incantations in the Sun Golden Sutra that can restrain them. It's funny to say that the Black Sutra of the Undead can bring the dead back to life, but the Golden Sutra of the Sun sends away the resurrected people. It can be seen that in the impression of ancient Egypt, the resurrected people also belonged to the undead.
When Imerton was alive, he didn't show extraordinary strength, and he couldn't even keep his concubine, but after his resurrection, he was awesome! Huang Chao also saw the explanation in the Black Book of the Dead, he smiled helplessly, and cursed: "It's really funny."
Because he was bitten by insects, the criminal law is too cruel, so he can have great power after being alive... Huang Chao said that he couldn't understand this kind of logic, which proved once again that spells have no logic and depend entirely on other people's settings. If Huang Chao wants to explain forcibly,
We can only start with the Egyptian gods: "It's probably because Imerton is so miserable and pleases the Egyptian gods. Give him a chance to counterattack."
The power of Emerton is completely predetermined. The ten major disasters are taken from the stories in the Bible. That was originally the way Jehovah dealt with Pharaoh. In the end, Egypt suffered heavy casualties, and Moses led his people to escape from Egypt. From a practical explanation, they are borrowed from the natural phenomena of Egypt, such as the flooding of algae in the Nile River, the breeding of mosquitoes and flies, locust plagues, infectious diseases, sandstorms, meteors, hail, etc...
To release spells, one must read the words of the scriptures. The caster has no extraordinary power, but the scriptures contain the power of the gods. This is a gift from the gods. Huang Chao believes that this kind of power is not as powerful as his own cultivation.
"Well, this is the difference caused by the cultural atmosphere. The West probably has this kind of praying mode, because they have always been informed by religion. Those people are not self-cultivation, but the more devout they are to the gods, the stronger their own power, and finally they are gods Chinese Taoism is self-cultivation, becoming an immortal and detached. Even if Taoism worships the ancestors, it does not deny the possibility of becoming an immortal. The power of Taoists comes from their own cultivation, but later some people opportunistically knew that people could not practice. , playing the banner of borrowing the law from the ancestors. But in general, the power of cultivation in the Huaxia inheritance belongs to the self, and one can become stronger and achieve detachment."
"The more complicated Taoist rituals are, the more they pray for gods. This is actually a practical factor, because they actually don't have much skill, so they have to pull up more banners to show that they are powerful. Those who dance to the gods always have to borrow With the help of various gods. In the fantasy world, Taoist cultivation methods such as outer alchemy and inner alchemy immediately turned around, and they became achievable things, and becoming a fairy is real, so it created a powerful path of self-cultivation.”
Huang Chao tapped on the thick pages of the Black Book of the Dead, he would definitely not take the path of Egyptian sacrifice. There is no way to become a god. This kind of book for mortals just makes them worship the gods. How can it be possible to reveal the secrets of the gods. The gods are not funny!
However, the two scriptures are still meaningful. Now the gods can no longer interfere with the world, and the power in the books is no longer exclusive to the priests. Ordinary people can read spells, and they can produce effects. He only needs to learn ancient Egyptian! Huang Chao has learned it before.
"I want to cast spells with the help of two books, and observe the process of spells changing reality, so as to get a glimpse of the rules of the world." Huang Chao put down the Black Book of the Dead, stood up, and looked at the box in the middle of the room.
The bottle under the box should contain Ansuna's guts and brain, since Imerton was put into the coffin alive. Huang Chao had no intention of opening them, and put the boxes back into the storage space.
With a thought, Benny who was killed by him before was taken out. Benny didn't have any scars on the surface of his body. Huang Chao hit his Achilles' heel. Even if he was sent to the forensic doctor, he still couldn't find the cause of death.
Huang Chao picked up the Black Book of the Dead, found the relevant chapters, and recited the resurrection spell. The dark wind in the room howled, and invisible power entered Benny's body. The wretched thin man on the ground suddenly struggled and opened his eyes!
Huang Chao opened his eyes in surprise: "Life and soul! The Black Book of the Undead actually connected the two! Benny was originally a corpse, and I can heal his injuries myself, but he will still turn into a corpse. The process of death is irreversible. But the Black Book of the Dead, restarted as a complete life, restarted his spiritual activities. He restored the soul."
