Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 114: Divine Weapon
Feng Shui is actually not as mysterious as imagined. It is nothing more than some knowledge of architecture, geology, environment, and hydrology, and then ends with a mystical approach.
This group of tombs is located against the Chengtian Mountain, which is towering into the clouds and is covered with snow all year round.
Behind the old temple priest, there is a hole.
Combined with the terrain, weather, and some supernatural factors - that is, the leader Feng Hesheng shoots arrows from time to time to gather wind power.
Taoist Gourd constructed a Feng Shui formation temporarily.
The large number of stones he moved made the air flow here become regular.
The wind gradually grew stronger, but it was an evil wind. Not only did it not bring more oxygen to the old temple keeper standing at the entrance of the cave, but it instead created a wind pressure.
With every breath, he felt as if there was a cover around him. Although the old temple keeper was constantly breathing in, he felt more and more chest tightness.
"Could it be that the poison gas just now is so effective?" The old temple keeper could only make such a guess.
"We have to get rid of these people as soon as possible." The old temple keeper cheered up and looked at the enemy through the observation window reserved on his own fortifications.
Then he saw one of them walk out from the crowd and look at him.
It was at that moment when they looked at each other that the old temple keeper became dazed. He didn't dare to look anymore and stepped back.
Just this one glance brought about a change. He seemed to become younger. Although the place was still the same, the Chengtian Mountain in the distance was still as tall.
But everything seemed a little different.
"You betrayed us!" In the direction he didn't dare to look, there was a man who looked somewhat similar to him, standing opposite him and shouting.
He was holding a knife, his eyes full of disappointment and sadness.
“I didn’t…” The old temple keeper opened his mouth and wanted to explain, to explain the importance of the mountain god, the importance of the temple keeper, and the harm that the evil soldiers would bring.
However, he could not explain it anyway, because no matter how he explained it, he had indeed committed an act of betrayal, betraying his brothers and betraying his former ideals and beliefs.
"You have also become one of those people who abuse their power!" The brother's painful accusation came again.
The old temple keeper just felt more and more uncomfortable.
He wanted to say that it was a necessary sacrifice, but when he recalled it vaguely, he found that he had indeed become those people.
Some of what they said to those outsiders were actually true, but some were lies made up for better management.
The power of heaven is indeed limited, and natural disasters are not caused by temple priests, but the power of heaven is not so limited either. At least not so limited that so many people die in disasters.
In the beginning, we would go to the places where the disaster was most severe to provide relief, but now it has changed to only donating some of our divine power to the places that offer the most money.
Some people outside are indeed guilty, but those guilty people have been dead for hundreds of years.
The people outside who are now called criminals by them just happen to live on the land where the criminals once lived.
If you have to count, in fact everyone is the descendant of those guilty people back then. After all, those crimes were committed by everyone back then.
The reason why we call people outside sinners is just to seek peace of mind.
Temple keepers are also human beings. They grew up in the normal area of Chengtian Mountain and also have emotions such as compassion.
They are not really indifferent to the disasters in the outside world.
It’s just that people are selfish, they care more about the lives of their loved ones.
Even if there is a lot of surplus natural power around Tianshan Mountain, they are unwilling to distribute it for free to disaster victims in other areas.
In order to deal with his own guilt, he put the sins of all the ancient people on the outside world.
And they pick them out themselves to ensure their own cleanliness.
In this way, you can sit back and watch people outside suffer with peace of mind.
And it is easier to manage this way. There are too many inequalities, and there will always be people causing trouble because of these inequalities.
Every few decades or even decades, a team similar to the current punitive team would appear.
After the theory of guilt spread, many people outside actually believed it, thinking that they were guilty and that was why they had to continue to suffer disasters.
Although there will still be people who resist, there will also be many more people who choose to obey.
It is in this atmosphere of inequality that sacrificing others becomes taken for granted.
The old temple priest has been doing the same over the years.
Back then, I was full of passion and wanted to change this cruel world.
Then he learned the truth about the mountain god and chose to become a temple keeper to protect the mountain god.
Then gradually get used to sacrificing others to complete this maintenance.
For any sacrifice, he can comfort himself by saying that it is a necessary sacrifice.
The same thing happened when Feng Hesheng's child was sacrificed ten years ago.
At the command, someone grabbed him and took him away by force.
This kind of thing is becoming more and more taken for granted.
He has the power and reason to do so, so he can ignore the evil of these things.
The old temple keeper was awakened by a pain in his body.
I saw a slender arrow of wind piercing through the iron wall. Although it was weakened a lot, it still pierced his body.
He was still the same old, decrepit body, and the fortifications he had built before were still crumbling under the continuous attacks of those people.
As for the person who stood up earlier, the old temple keeper also saw it clearly.
That wasn't his brother, he just looked a bit like him through makeup.
In fact, that person was more like him than his brother.
This is actually the art of hypnosis and suggestion. Everyone is a thoughtful person. From the few words the old temple keeper said before to persuade him to surrender, we can sense that the old temple keeper is a man with a story.
So the light directly shone on the old temple keeper's face, inferring his appearance when he was young, and putting on makeup for himself.
The old temple keeper had been exposed to strong light, sound shock, poisonous gas attack, and wind pressure that squeezed his breathing, and his mental state was already bad.
So he was easily fooled, developed some hallucinations, and fell into the illusion of his own past.
And those two questions were also asked by Denghuo in an ambiguous way based on the other party's words, using the method of rhetoric.
This trick is very useful. At least this time, the old temple keeper is no longer in good condition.
It can only be said that the old temple keeper still has some major flaws in his state of mind.
Once this point was grasped, the old temple keeper was greeted with an even more fierce attack.
A large number of attacks targeting the senses constantly assault the opponent, making the opponent's condition worse.
Then Feng Hesheng took on the role of the main attacker, using the magic weapon in his hand to launch one fatal attack after another.
Soon the old temple keeper could no longer hold on, and people got closer and closer to him, and closer and closer to the cave.
It seems that the magic weapon is about to be obtained.
