Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 388 Salted Fish
Li Fan held the tofu ticket in his hand and turned it over and over to see.

Such things as talismans and command spells are indeed quite idealistic. As the "talent master" himself, he can't feel the power of the talisman at all. To put it bluntly, he has used "his own power" from the beginning to the end, although he is somewhat open A little hang, but his strength comes from his own practice, comprehension, and fighting, rather than asking God to borrow it from Buddha.

For monks, although the "talent master" will write the names of some senior Taoist monarchs, but the talisman is drawn by himself, the curse is cast by himself, and even the spiritual power of the dao breath is provided by himself. Most of it is a kind of self-suggestion, which increases attention through the established format and norms of talismans, and exerts the strongest effect of spells and spells.It's just an auxiliary item to avoid deviations in chanting formulas and incantations.

Therefore, it is also an invisibility formula. If some people do not use amulets, they may not be able to recite the mantra well. They will hide their heads and show their tails when they are pinched.But some people can remember it with a photographic memory, and they don't need to draw amulets at all. Once the formula is pinched, it will be perfect and foolproof, and the tail line will never be discovered cough cough.

But it cannot be denied that there is indeed a mechanism of belief in gods and Buddhas in this world. The 'No Birth Mother' will really respond to the call of believers and create a 'vacuum hometown' to protect them from all hardships. Li Fan has seen that scene several times.

Now Luojiao congregation's expectation for tofu tickets should be to be able to bless them with safety when they are in danger, just like Wu Sheng's old mother.

But this is just an IOU, the concubine can't do it... Huh?Wait a minute, maybe, it's not impossible...

Li Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and took out Cangsong's talisman notes to watch.

In fact, borrowing the power of others through talisman is actually a very perfect usage of talisman developed by Confucian scholars in this world.

Yes, spells originate from shamanism, guess what else originates from shamanism, Confucianism.

The civilization of the Central Plains people was still in the barbaric tribal era like Hulu mountain ghosts. Confucianism was originally a magician who prayed for rain and sacrificed like a shaman.

Talismans, books, at least in this world, there is indeed 'power' in words.And because of the characteristics of farming civilization relying on the sky, the talismans originally originated from the rain-prayer documents written by shamans and Confucian scholars to the "sky".Although the monks simplified the talisman and developed it in another direction, Confucianism never lost its old profession of "writing books and offering sacrifices".

After all, to put it bluntly, wizards, warlocks, shamans, Confucian scholars, monks, or scientific research workers, the initial goals of these professions are the same.It is an attempt by human beings to explore the order and laws that can live in the chaotic, unknown, dangerous and violent natural world.It's just that in that era of exploration where everyone is confused and ignorant, their own ways of living are very different, and their guesses about the 'Tao' are naturally different.

And unite everyone together to build an orderly class society. Externally, it ensures that leaders can mobilize the power of the entire ethnic group to plan production and deal with catastrophes. Internally, it creates a common value of "ritual" to gain the support of members. , in order to maintain the cohesion of this group, this is the order that Confucianism strives to create.

When the priests in the barbaric era wrote such a way on the sacrificial text and submitted it to the heavens for reading, they must have been very confused, hoping to get a response from the heavens, right?

If the "Heaven" in the Taiji world does not respond to the order written by the Confucians, then sooner or later the Confucian scholars in this world will understand that there is no "God" in the world, and the "Heaven" cannot be relied on. You can only rely on 'people' to create your own world.

But this 'day' responded.

So the core Shinto system of the Asgard was born in this way. This system was originally granted by the Immortals to sacrifice the soldiers who died in battle. There are a total of thirteen volumes of man-made heavenly scriptures in the Two Kingdoms, which are named God Lists.

Civil and military officials, ministers and lords, spiritual officials, heavenly kings, city gods and lands, although these officials of the Immortal Palace are not as powerful as monks and warriors, they can pass the official canonization certification of the Three Walls and Twelve Kingdoms and be listed on the list of gods. It can become the patron saint of a specific area, or the spiritual officer of a specific function, and gain supernatural powers.

At the same time, those who conferred gods will also be constrained by the list of conferred gods, and must perform corresponding duties and obligations. If you can bless the people, the people will naturally give back your faith and divine power, but if you do not do well, then the Immortal Palace will replace you That is, a piece of imperial edict.

The most typical example is Zhang Dali, a mere county magistrate. In order to protect the safety of one side under the situation of heavy troops and no reinforcements outside, he committed suicide and offered sacrifices in the end. With the support of faith, he insisted on stopping the Northern Expeditionary Army of that year. The power of faith is not insignificant.

But it was not by his own strength that he could do all this at that time.

Of course, the power of Shinto does not originate from the Immortal Palace, nor from the books, but from the people.

God lists, fairy books, imperial edicts, decrees, these are actually talismans, and the writing format is different, but in essence they are all means of communicating and invoking the unique and supernatural power of the Tai Chi world.

The real strength comes from people who grew up on this land and share the same values.But the list of gods is only restricted by specific rules, and these powers are transferred to a certain person for strengthening.

And it's not just strengthening, in addition to the god list system, after the Immortal Palace was established in the world, it also produced thirteen volumes of immortal books.

But the Immortal Book is not official titles, it is a roster that is used to record the whole world, outside of the Immortal Palace system, individual cultivators who have practiced on their own and obtained power beyond order.

The management and restraint of the monks with the fairy book not only restricts the strength and realm of these monks, but also tracks the location of the monks and strictly regulates their action space. catastrophe.And those casual cultivators who refused to accept the registration and management of immortal registration were naturally treated as demons by the immortal palace, and were hunted down and eradicated by the army, exterminating their sects.

Everyone knows the final result of this high-pressure policy, and Xuanmen was born.

This is also the main reason why the Confucianism in this world is not pleasing to the eyes of monks.After all, the order and the world they wanted to establish were overthrown by the monks.

Of course, those applications in Xianji have nothing to do with tofu tickets. Li Fan wants to build a tofu ticket system based on the Fengshenbang.

But the direction is reversed. It's not that Luojiao's followers provide him with power, but in reverse, Li Fan passes his mana to the other side.

After all, what they long for is protection, right? Then protect them. Just ask for help, and use tofu tickets to create a protective shield or something to resist some Jindan-level demons and ghosts. It shouldn't be difficult, right?

From the principle of the talisman, it is feasible. After all, Cangsong used the talisman to locate and track it, and also suggested the debt repayment method of the little devil's transportation.

In terms of mana, it is actually feasible, because Li Fan has now upgraded to Zhenyang Dao Qi, his fucking mana is almost endless, okay!
correct!True sun fire!
Maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome, just pass the Zhenyang Daohuo to the past!That fire is so domineering, it can directly ignite the evil spirit, it is natural against demons and ghosts!Maybe there is something wrong!
So with the belly draft, Li Fan also became interested, and began to study how to impart the true yang dao qi to the tofu ticket. It is best to set up a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits. Once a monster appears, it will directly fly out to attack and burn the monster to death. .Or adding protection magic circle, and skills like dispelling monsters are also good, in short, it shouldn't be difficult to try more...

Li Fan was lost in thought for a while, until Li Tangyuan ran to knock on the door to complain with his head on Kun.

Li Tangyuan was indignant, "There are two fish robbing our food!"

Kun was also angry, 'There is sauce! '

So Li Fan came to the kitchen and saw two monsters with wet and greasy bodies, human-shaped limbs and scales, and half of their heads were carp heads, drinking heavily and eating meat in large chunks. Rice with soy sauce, swept away the ingredients that were purchased during the day.

Before Ah Xiang got up, the leopard hid behind the door and exploded. It was really useless...

"What kind of aliens are you two transformed into? Damn! The taste is so strong, do you want to pickle yourself into salted fish?"

Li Fan kept one in each hand, and threw two carp essences into the flower field to eat the petals.

The two carps ate another big meal, and then rolled on the ground, and both of them turned into human figures. It could be seen that they changed according to the shape of the yin and yang fish boy, but there was no spirituality in their eyes, and the eyes were dead. Staring like a salted fish, his expression and movements are also dull and stiff. The wax dolls are vivid, and the uncanny valley effect is full.

"Hey, how's it going? Are you done, talk?"

Li Fan took out two Taoist clothes of Lou Guandao, put them on, and poked the faces of the two boys.

"feed!"

The two opened their fish mouths and screamed in unison, probably before they could control their bodies, the sound was like a broken gong.

"Here it is, I'll give it all to you guys, shit, I won't fail..."

The two boys held the rest of the feed in their hands and gnawed it for a while, and finished it in an instant. Their eyes were still wide open like salted fish, but they were already able to talk.

"success."

"Great."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them, and could vaguely distinguish one with fairer skin, probably a Yang fish, and the other with a darker skin, probably a Yin fish.

"You look like ghosts, you can tell you are monsters at a glance."

"It doesn't matter."

"enough."

"God consciousness is too weak."

"Too much to carry."

"Cultivation, a period of time."

"Can, be free, act."

"However, the experiment was successful."

"Now, we can..."

"Wait, you guys, talking like this, sounds so weird and annoying!" Li Fan had goosebumps, "Wait until I pay my respects to the month, can you finish it in one breath?"

"Row."

Then the two boys rolled on the spot and turned into two big carps flopping about in the field of flowers.

Li Fan sighed, inexplicably growing more and more things...

After throwing the two big fish back into the Qiankun Danchi, Li Fan paid homage to the moon to meet the two boys.

These two guys were in high spirits, and they were still toasting at the banquet. They seemed to be the illusion of those things that stole Kun just now...

"Be happy, Li Fan, we also have a Taoist body, so we can help you from the lower realm!"

Li Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes, with your strength, you can only be made into a string, okay...

"Then just expand the fish pond!"

Li Fan couldn't help it anymore, "No, wait a minute, why aren't those two enough? We need to find two female partners for you?"

"That's not necessary," Yang Yuboy snapped his fingers, showing the structure of the carp body and the DNA helix, "The first step is always the hardest, but now that the threshold has been crossed and the data has been collected, the next step Just prepare the clone fishery directly."

Li Fan was confused, "Clone?"

Yin Yuboy drank a cup, "Yes, yes, human cloning is illegal, and fish cloning is not in charge. Now we can also start a side business!"

Li Fan continued to be confused, "Side job? Selling fish?"

Yang Yuboy smiled and said, "No, smuggling, we can arrange for the clients from the 'gate' to sneak over here."

Li Fan was speechless for a while, what the hell?smuggling?Smuggling?

"Yeah, Reincarnated World is not an entertainment that ordinary people can afford, not to mention the new world that is now being bid for is already monopolized by several big companies at the top.

You also understand that although those directors have hundreds of thousands of worlds, they are all private and company assets and will not be shared.Therefore, the few open public game worlds have long been overcrowded. "

"That's why some company executives will secretly let people into the new world to earn some extra money. I guess some managers in this world have given the legion the authority to pass through the door, so that they can infiltrate."

"Being born into a human body will inevitably trigger an alarm due to the increase in the deviation value, so we used to wait for the opportunity to arrange for you to come in when the legion was smuggling, but it doesn't matter if you are born into a fish and then become a human! Just now the company just regarded it as a wild animal. The animal mutated, and I didn't notice the difference at all!"

"Of course, after all, if you are smuggling into the company's territory, or this kind of border world, the cost of crossing the door is not low, so there are not many customers who can afford it. The old rules, this is your world, and we will split the profit half and half. Anyway, we only provide one reincarnation service, as long as you pay, it doesn’t matter if you slap him to death.”

"Ahem, of course, I suggest you not to do this. You are willing to spend a lot of money to immigrate here illegally, and there is no systematic asylum, just to have a chance to start again, and will not take the initiative to cause trouble, and the knowledge they have will definitely be useful to you. .”

Li Fan hesitated for a while, "But if you do this, isn't there a great risk of exposing us? Just to make money? Doesn't this conflict with your goal of secretly collecting heavenly books?"

The two boys looked at each other, then looked at Li Fan.

"Do you know what money is?"

Li Fan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Of course I know what money is."

"No, you don't know, what I mean is..." Boy Yang Yu pondered over his words for a while, "The 'money' on the side of the 'door' is a piece of data code, information flow, and a chain of transactions between systems , there are no physical resources, energy equivalents, at most only represent 'legal transaction records'.

But as long as you have this 'legal record', your system can work normally, you can join the economic activities on the 'gate' side, get 'money', and buy anything, permissions, knowledge, equipment, weapons , resources, energy, companies, legions, cyborgs, clones, everything.

In other words, the 'money' is on the other side of the 'gate', worthless.But on this side of the 'gate', infinite value.So if there is an opportunity, the priority of 'making money' is indeed above the 'Book of Heaven'. "

Yinyu boy held his cheeks, pinched his nostrils and said, "But the system of the Citizens Taxation Bureau has the highest and highest priority access rights. The bureau will check all system transaction chain records. In fact, even if we find that we are illegally smuggling It doesn't matter, we only mess with the company, and they are only responsible for tax inspection.

But once you find that the source of your transaction chain income is unknown, and the proportion of problematic transaction chains is relatively high, it is easy to trigger an alarm and monitor. A commissioner will stare at you and check your transaction chain repeatedly, so that tax evasion, tax evasion, money laundering and other situations will be caught. One standard, and then it is to restrict transactions, prohibit door-to-door transactions, pay taxes and fines, and file a series of lawsuits. In the end, you have to "snap" to remove your system privileges and deprive you of your citizenship rights.

Oh ho ho ho, when you get to that point, you will be blocked by all the systems, you are fucked, fucked, and the ball is dead. "

lie down...

"Don't worry, even if you are kicked out of the legal system, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't survive. There are also many illegal independent systems. Look at the trash pickers in the legion, they can live a good life, right? But, you also see How easy is it for us to burn the mind of an out-of-privileged employee?"

Yang Yutong patted Li Fan on the shoulder, "So you need as many 'legal transaction records' as possible in order to look like a 'legitimate citizen', believe us, only by being a player who abides by the rules, will others I will not use methods outside the rules to deal with you."

Li Fan swallowed his saliva.

"...No, can those corporate oligarchs really accept this?"

Yin Yuboy shrugged, "Of course they don't want to accept it, otherwise they wouldn't have to fight more than 400 company wars. It's a pity that the rules are always made by the winner. So you see, they all came to another world to reincarnate to escape reality no."

Fuck, what kind of society is there? No wonder there are people who want to escape and become a salted fish!
