Chapter 257 Two Children Debate the Spiritual World (Please Vote for Me)
"One time I drank so much that I fell unconscious and almost had an accident. If Uncle Liu hadn't happened to pass by..."
When the young boss mentioned Uncle Liu, his eyes were complicated. He was silent for a while, and then said with a smile, "From then on, I either have someone who can help me deal with things when I'm drunk, or I always drink at home."
Lin An was holding a large bag of packed lunch boxes and said nothing, just looking up in front of him in wonder.
On the hillside, a particularly luxurious-looking villa stands in it. The front and rear courtyards look very large, with trees, rockeries, streams, pavilions, and even a tree house.
The little boss followed Lin An's gaze and looked at the somewhat dilapidated tree house. He smiled slightly and said, "My dad built it for me when I was a child."
Lin An smacked his mouth and looked around. In this community, there were large luxury villas like this that were widely spaced apart.
“There are a lot of public stalls here, right?”
I don't know why, but he suddenly asked such a question.
"Hahaha~~~" The little boss patted Lin An on the shoulder, "There is nothing to envy, you now have a whole space that is completely yours."
This is the truth, but Lin An still can't help being envious.
Look at the tree house built on the big tree in the garden that only two people can embrace. This is the legendary child who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Lin An imagined the scene of the little boss playing in this tree house when he was a child, and recalled the scene when when he was a child, he got into a fight with other people who also came to pick up mineral water bottles over the so-called 'turf'...
Forget it, comparing people to each other is annoying.
He shook his head, smiled helplessly, and followed the young boss into the large villa that looked like a palace.
However, as he and the young boss walked in, a cold wind blew through the spacious hall, inexplicably making people shiver.
The place looks a bit dilapidated, it's messy everywhere, and you can even see spider silk near the corners.
As for the large courtyard that Lin An envied just now, it was now overgrown with weeds. Even relying on his strengthened body last night, he could still vaguely hear the sound of a snake swimming and crawling in the grass.
After a while, the shrill cry of the mouse sounded.
"Aha~"
The young boss laughed loudly when he heard the sound, and placed the packing box on a table that looked very expensive but didn't seem to be cleaned very often. "There were more and more mice in the house before, so I simply bought a few non-toxic ones." Pet snake thrown into the yard to catch mice.”
6!
Lin An gave a thumbs up and expressed his admiration.
"A house that is too big is actually not good..." The young boss was not from Versailles. He looked a little lonely. He looked at the empty and quiet hall and shook his head. "It would be really too much for a person to live here alone." Quiet and lonely.”
He doesn't like hiring others to live in his home. As a big boss of a company, he doesn't even have a dedicated driver, mainly because of his special status.
Extraordinary beings did not bring much convenience to his life, but instead caused harm everywhere.
He is a wizard who cannot cast spells, and he is also a witch-hunting knight who cannot truly inherit the core of the furnace.
"This shabby place, bringing you here would be better than going to your home. Although it is small, it is very cozy."
His tone was sincere and he wasn't complaining about anything.
"I want you to come this time mainly because I promised you to see my dad's research materials before. I will take you to see them after eating."
There was not much warmth in the winter afternoon. The howling northwest wind caused subtle noises to be heard everywhere in this house that had been in disrepair. When it reached the ears of these two people with enhanced physical fitness, it seemed that It's a little noisy.
The little boss got up a little irritably. He first threw a few pieces of wood into the fireplace and lit it. He listened to the crackling sound inside, then turned on the stereo to play music, and then slowly calmed down from his manic state.
Lin An looked at him thoughtfully and raised his eyebrows slightly.
As the saying goes, there are three nails in a broken ship. In such a dilapidated villa, you can also get a jar of shining rice wine from the cellar.
"Shenhou City is not for sale."
The little boss opened the mud seal, took out two pottery bowls and poured wine, and said, "The situation like ours in Shenhou City, where the Lujiao family is the only one, is rare in other cities in the country. There are often many demon hunter organizations in one city. So there is a trading market.”
As he spoke, he chuckled, "Sometimes there are wizards in that kind of trading market. This may be a place where witch-hunting knights and wizards can get along a little more harmoniously."
Seeing Lin An's curiosity, he drank wine and talked about the current situation of the extraordinary world in other cities.
"Actually, there are some wizards that the demon hunters won't kill."
The little boss said while holding the dishes, "For example, those who are good at medical treatment, mixing medicines, and using magic to cure diseases and save people. After registering with the demon hunter, most of them can live safely until they become a lich. That is, they become a lich. Liches often have a decent way to die."
Having said this, he thought for a while, "My dad said that doctors are kind-hearted and blessed by God. They are often extremely difficult to become lichs. Most of them can live for more than a hundred years, which is better than most wizards and demon hunters." Lifespan' is long."
Lin An was stunned for a moment, "Are you blessed by God? What kind of God?"
"Hahaha~~" the little boss said happily, "I also had this question at the time. My dad said it was the way of heaven and the great road. Oh, no, it should be the way of humanity."
He leaned over and said with a mysterious look, "My dad suspects that the spiritual world is the way of humanity, the way of man. It is actually a different concept from the way of heaven in the natural universe. It is more like a kind of human heart among countless people. The avenue contained within the constructed social environment.”
Lin An nodded, "Professor Cao once told me that the eight types of furnaces represented by the Eight Animals Opera are the most powerful practice methods among the various breathing furnace furnace practices."
"Antlers, rabbit eyes, snake body, fish tail, eagle claws, lion's mane, catfish whiskers."
"Because these eight are all born from the core of our universal collective humanistic identity, they are not the composition of the dragon, but different appearances of the dragon phenomenon."
"The dragon is our collective recognition of this humanistic environment deep in this land. Everyone who protects the humanistic environment of this land is a demon hunter who practices the eight breathing methods represented by Baqinxi. Or the duty of the Witch Hunter Knight. The more it flourishes, the stronger we become. This is an invisible foundation."
"Wonderful!" The little boss slapped the table, raised the pottery bowl to clink glasses with Lin An, and took a sip. Unavoidable, there were many sighs.
"Lao Cao has always been dissatisfied with my father and has always wanted to make further interpretations based on the information my father left."
"Sounds reasonable."
"The way of man, the recognition of the humanistic environment, hey, it really makes sense."
"But..." the little boss patted his chest, "I also have my own understanding!"
"Oh? Tell me?"
"Collective subconscious!" The little boss put forward his conjecture and waved his chopsticks. "Think about it, the ancient people have been practicing for thousands of years, but they just can't feel the spiritual world? Only discovered it in modern times? It can't be that time Isn’t the humanistic environment insufficient? I would say that the current collapse of humanities, lack of etiquette and music, and hindered morality are a step backwards.”
Lin An frowned and thought.
The little boss continued, "So I don't start with culture. Civilization constitutes the connection between people, but there are more fundamental ones. The consensus that has been deposited deep in the hearts of every human being for tens of thousands of years and countless natural years quietly connects "
"Then why did the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly disappear in modern times? Why is there a spiritual world?"
He waved his hand, "Because of the population explosion, the number has crossed a threshold like never before."
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has not disappeared, it's just that it's not divided enough. It appears every moment, but every moment it is invisibly distributed to everyone and exhausted."
"So practitioners can no longer feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth floating between heaven and earth, because it has long been divided up."
"At the same time, the impact of the population explosion is the rapid expansion of the collective subconscious, gathering and forming on an unprecedented scale."
He thought for a while, ran upstairs to find some paper, found a place on the table, and drew an ugly stick figure. He also drew an earth at the feet of the stick figure and a sun on the corner of the paper. " First, heaven and earth, oh, I assume it’s the sun, the universe and the earth, they give people the spirit of heaven and earth.”
Lin An leaned over and watched with interest.
"Just like the wizard's aura and emotion mixed into the 'demon energy' used by the demon hunter's furnace, the initial aura of heaven and earth enters the human body and evolves in the human body, and then passes through... well... maybe brain waves or something like that. Yes, it radiates out again."
"In the collision between people, these unique breaths mix, interact, and gather, and then they form aura."
As he spoke, the little boss drew a circle of stick figures on the earth, and some lines were drawn on the heads of these stick figures. The lines between each person were mixed, and together they formed a layer of clouds that clung to the ground like a surge of electricity.
"The spiritual energy breeds and gathers to give birth to the spiritual world."
The little boss took a sip of wine and tapped the drawing paper excitedly, "Don't look at my simple theory. It effectively explains why spiritual energy alienates the soul and distorts and erodes the soul!"
"The reason is that wizards can directly feel the aura of the spiritual world, so whatever emotions they have in their hearts in the collective consciousness are resonated by all common emotions in this brainwave grid where endless individuals gather in the collective consciousness."
"Being strengthened and being influenced."
"And witchers, like our antlers, are equivalent to adding a transformer to the collective consciousness, filtering out part of the resonance."
"So although the demon hunter cannot perform powerful witchcraft like the wizard, right, and cannot resonate, it is easier to protect his own soul."
"Wow~"
Lin An exclaimed.
The little boss happily picked up the dishes. Lin An was still immersed in these words. He couldn't help but think of the scorched earth witchcraft.
"Tell me, have many wizards throughout history wanted to become witch-hunting knights?"
The little boss nodded, "A lot. After all, you can live a good life by changing your identity and not being hunted. You don't have to stick to your identity as a wizard. But they all failed."
Lin An nodded, "In other words, the Breathing Furnace method can protect the hearts of ordinary people, but the guardian wizard, who can directly come into contact with the aura of the spiritual world, is somewhat insufficient."
The young boss was stunned for a moment, "I'm afraid so, but now that you have an improved plan like the wizard's furnace, it seems to be feasible."
Lin An shook his head with a smile, "Are you interested in hearing about the concept of 'igniting the fire in the heart'?"
"Talk about it!"
