Chapter 92: Awakening

It doesn't matter whether it's the former or the latter.

At present, it has little to do with Xu Yang.

It only made him certain of one thing, that is, there are extraordinary powers in this world, extremely powerful extraordinary powers.

This can also be seen from the flow rate of the world between this world and the real world.

The time flow rate of this world and the real world is one hundred to one.

A hundred times the time difference!

Although it is much worse than the ten times the time difference of the Black Water World, it is higher than the three hundred and sixty-five times the time difference of the Great Zhou and Tang.

After many dreams of butterflies, Xu Yang has guessed that the time difference between dreams and reality may be related to the level of the world, at least it is one of the determining factors.

The higher the level of the dream world, the stronger the power, and the smaller the time difference with the real world!

The Black Water World with gods and Buddhas everywhere, the time difference is only ten times.

The Great Zhou and Tang of the ordinary martial arts, is three hundred and sixty-five times.

Now the one hundred times time difference in this world is enough to show that its world level is higher than the Great Zhou and Tang.

Not to mention the Great Zhou, the Tang world has the vitality of heaven and earth, and can enter the five realms of martial arts by practicing martial arts.

The Yuanling in this world is rare, the heaven and earth are poor, but its energy level is even higher than that of the Tang Dynasty?

Interesting, really interesting!

Xu Yang has a great interest in the cultivation methods of this world.

The method of cultivation, no matter the system, cannot get around the word "supply".

Just like the root of technology is energy, no matter what kind of cultivation system, it needs supply as the foundation.

Cultivating the truth and practicing Qi requires Yuanling.

Martial arts training also requires supply.

Energy energy is a must.

So, what kind of energy and what kind of supply does the extraordinary system and cultivation method of this world rely on?

The Yuanling of heaven and earth is impossible, too poor.

The flesh and blood supply also needs the support of Yuanling, and the resources are also scarce.

What is that?

Xu Yang still doesn't know.

But a glimpse of the leopard can show a little bit, through the various appearances of this world, it is enough to see some clues.

For example, this unreasonable and prosperous way of writing.

Could it be that this is a "Confucian and Taoist" world, where reading can cultivate a noble spirit, and verbal criticism and writing can be compared to supernatural powers?

It's possible!

But...

Xu Yang stopped writing, looked at the article he wrote by himself, and frowned slightly.

After two lifetimes of accumulation and learning, he is no longer an ordinary time traveler, but a great master who has learned from ancient and modern times and practiced the three religions.

Although he had broken mountains and temples twice during the Zhou and Tang dynasties, destroyed Taoism and Buddhism, suppressed Confucianism, and swept the world, it did not prevent him from practicing the three religions, delving into the mysteries of their classics, and becoming a master of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

In terms of the mundane, his Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism are all top-notch. Even if a saintly monk or a great Confucian scholar comes to debate with him, he can argue with the other party to the point of being completely defeated. What Taoist books and Buddhist classics, he can read through without any hindrance, recite them by heart, and write splendid articles and famous works of the ages at will.

He also flipped through the original owner's collection of books and read various classics in this world. They were very good, but they were not the methods of immortals. With his current Confucian cultivation, the poems and articles he wrote were no less than those of the great Confucian scholars.

But...

No reaction!

No reaction at all!

Beautiful articles, but no talent.

Famous articles throughout the ages, but no strange phenomena.

These were his original articles and poems.

Before, he was too lazy to think about them, and the articles and poems he wrote as a copycat also did not have any strange phenomena, nor did they bring him any literary energy to help his practice, which was completely inconsistent with his understanding of "Confucian and Taoist cultivation".

Was it because his writing method was wrong, or was there some other reason?

Xu Yang frowned, crumpled this article of the top scholar's talent, which was worthy of being passed down from generation to generation, into waste paper, and threw it into the stove beside him.

Then, he picked up the pen and wrote again.

This time, he no longer wrote poems and articles, but rewrote Buddhist classics.

Diamond Sutra, Shurangama Sutra, Amitabha Sutra, Lotus Sutra, Heart Sutra...

I can't copy so many, but I can take some famous passages from them, which are also excellent Buddhist classics, and some Buddhist doctrines that he understands and integrates.

Putting aside the fact that he destroyed Buddhism twice, in terms of academic level, it is not worse than the Buddhist scriptures he has been looking for opportunities to read in the past few days, and even better.

But... still no response.

Xu Yang frowned, threw the paper into the furnace, and began to write the Taoist scriptures again.

After sorting out the original owner's memory and the overt and covert investigations in the past few days, Xu Yang found that although the way of writing and calligraphy is superior in this world, it is not dominated by Confucianism and Legalism. Taoism, Buddhism, and the three religions are all prosperous.

If there is a powerful force behind the promotion of the way of writing and calligraphy, it will definitely not be able to avoid the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

Nowadays, the way of writing and calligraphy is prosperous, and the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism are even more prosperous. If there is really an extraordinary practice, it must be related to the three religions.

But why...

A Taoist scripture was written, but there was still no reaction.

"The so-called literary spirit is not created by classics!"

Xu Yang's eyes condensed, he put down his pen and ink, and threw the newly written Taoist scripture into the furnace.

"Everything has its origin, it is impossible for it to be created out of thin air without reason. Writing is just a carrier, not the root, and naturally it cannot provide me with power!"

"If those splendid articles, famous works throughout the ages, and Taoist and Buddhist classics have extraordinary power, then something must have become their energy source and injected them with power!"

"What is it?"

"Excluding the most basic Yuanling of heaven and earth, there is only one possibility!"

"Incense, faith, the thoughts of all beings, and the power of the soul!"

"The spiritual resources of this world are the incense and faith, and the power of the soul formed by the gathering of people!"

"The so-called Confucianism, Legalism, and Buddhism and Taoism are all the result of the incense and faith of sentient beings, and the power of the soul gathered by the gathering of people, turning the false into the true, and transcending the mundane."

"Therefore, no matter how well a poem, an article, or a Buddhist scripture is written, it is meaningless. It must be spread to the world and absorb the will of sentient beings to turn decay into magic and possess extraordinary power!"

"This is... the method of using the false to cultivate the true!"

"Therefore, the prosperity of literature and Taoism in this world is driven by the practitioners of the world. The three religions work together to promote Taoism in the world, so as to harvest the incense and will of sentient beings in the world as their own spiritual resources."

"What literary spirit, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Taoism, to put it bluntly, are all spiritual cultivation methods!"

"So that's it, so that's it, no wonder..."

A glimpse of the leopard can reveal a glimpse.

In an instant, Xu Yang connected all the information and all the clues and came up with an answer.

Once this answer was put forward, all the difficulties and doubts in the whole matter were cleared up.

This world is short of vitality. If you want to practice, you can only gather the power of all living beings and the power of the world.

There are only two ways to gather people, one is to collect their flesh and blood, and the other is to collect their souls.

But you can't collect them directly, because that is eating human flesh and blood and sucking human souls. It is an absolute evil way of practice, which is not tolerated by the world and cannot last long.

If you want to keep it flowing for a long time, you can only practice with faith and worship with incense, so as to refine the power of the souls of all living beings and turn it into your own practice.

This is the right way of practice in this world.

Therefore, the culture and Taoism in this world will be so prosperous, and the things of writing and calligraphy will be so cheap, because behind it is the whole world of cultivation.

The three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism all need "culture and Taoism" as a carrier to collect the faith of all living beings and the incense of the people.

Splendid articles and famous works throughout the ages are not strange in themselves, but because of the Confucian and Taoist practices, they have spread all over the world, and more people have studied them, so they can turn decay into magic and gain extraordinary power.

Using the false to cultivate the true, that's it.

Not only articles and poems, but also other Confucian and legal classics, and those great Confucian scholars, were originally ordinary mortals. The reason why they can be extraordinary is because they practice Confucianism and get the power of the soul of all living beings.

After thinking through this core point, Xu Yang's many doubts in his heart immediately became clear.

Why do ghosts, foxes, and monsters in this world like to find scholars and have sex with them?

It is because scholars belong to the Confucian and legal system, and they have the soul power formed by gathering people - Wenqi!

This is very beneficial for the practice of monsters, so ghosts, foxes, and the like like to seduce scholars.

In fact, not only scholars, but also young Taoist priests and monks are also the objects of their charm and absorption.

The power of the soul of all living beings is extraordinary resources, and it has formed a system.

Confucianism and legalism, the pursuit of fame, as long as you can get fame, you can become a Confucianist, with this literary spirit, above ordinary people.

In the genealogy of the Ma clan, the few clan members who lived over 60 years old were all scholars who had achieved fame, and the worst was the Juren, and the Xiucai was not enough to support it.

"So, the cultivation method in this world is to study those Confucian classics handed down from generation to generation, absorb the literary spirit from them, or take the imperial examination and obtain the official status, which can also gather literary spirit."

"Of course, directly publishing works and spreading poems all over the world can also gain a lot of literary spirit."

"But these take time, extremely long time to accumulate, cultivate reputation, and be known and sincerely worshipped by the world, in order to gather enough literary spirit!"

"Although this is the right way to cultivate, it is too slow."

"The most direct and fastest way is to eat people. Those monsters and evil cultivators must like to eat people with strong literary spirit, even great Confucianists and great cultivators, as well as court officials, and even the dragon spirit of the emperor, all of which can reach the sky in one step!"

"So..."

Xu Yang sorted out the context and gradually approached the truth: "The original owner was favored by the monsters and died after the literary spirit was sucked out. ? "

"No, the original owner has not taken the imperial examination, not even the college examination, and has not even obtained the status of a student. Where does the literary aura come from to attract the spirits? "

"What's more, if the spirits absorb the literary aura, they will also suck out the vital energy. The cause of death should be the exhaustion of essence and becoming a mummy, and the cause of death of the original owner is the soul being severely damaged..."

"Wait!"

"Soul?"

Xu Yang's eyes condensed, and he suddenly woke up: "Evil cultivator!"

He was still thinking, and then he saw...

"Beat your head, let your head split open and your soul collected!"

"Beat your body, let you be torn into pieces and worry about your life!"

"Beat your feet, let you have nails on your feet and have nowhere to walk!"

"Beat your back, let you work like a cow and a horse forever!"

"..."

In the dark, someone was mumbling something, and a hoarse and sharp curse came into Xu Yang's mind.
