Chapter 152 People sit at home, disaster comes from heaven!
Fairy Jin Ling explained the existence of side sects and outsiders. The water here can be so deep that even the Taoist court is wary of it.
And these things, as long as Ren Qiong goes far enough in the field of Fu Dao, he will come into contact with them sooner or later.
After all, Fu Dao involves the changes of civilizations and eras, and something will always be discovered and explored.
"Our orthodox practice, various methods, are called magic, magical powers..."
"As for the side sects and outsiders, they are often referred to as 'tricks'."
Fairy Jin Ling said and sighed, "There are many tricks, mysterious and unpredictable, and they are not inferior to the best Taoist treasures collected and passed down in the Taoist court."
"Once upon a time, I tracked down a heretic master. The side sect she came from was combined with the Taoist teachings of the former Nanhua master, and she sublimated the mysterious tricks. She tampered with and distorted reality and illusion, causing confusion between things and self. It was extremely terrifying!"
She gave an example and said leisurely, "Die Xi, am I the butterfly, or is the butterfly me?"
"Such characters often wander on the boundary between reality and illusion, wandering in the land of nothing, chasing things and forgetting me, and breaking away from the shackles of form."
"Even if her strength is further improved and her magical powers are broader, she can do even more incredible things, such as tampering with cause and effect, and forcibly designating other people as butterflies!"
"What do you mean?" Ren Qiong was a little curious. This was too mysterious.
"It means that this trick can be 'otherized' at will... It can be a dream of a butterfly, a dream of a dragon, a dream of a human being, a dream of plants, trees, metals and stones, or everything in the world..." Jin Ling explained patiently, making Ren Qiong clear.
Understanding the horror of this aspect, "You can replace it on the level of cause and effect, memory, and destiny without the consent of the dreamer..."
"You can imagine, if you are targeted by someone who has mastered this trick and reached the top, everything around you will no longer be stable... Maybe your pet is dreamed by her, and your relatives are also dreamed by her.
Dream... these have become her incarnation in the dream, watching you silently and knowing everything about you."
"Even in the end, you yourself will be dreamed by her, blurring the boundaries between you and her. Everything about you is hers, and everything about her is still hers."
"Isn't this... isn't this inner demon?" Ren Qiong gasped, feeling his scalp numb.
This trick is so overbearing and unreasonable!
"Somewhat like it, but not quite."
Jin Ling shook his head, "Although the inner demon is mysterious and unpredictable, the Taoist heart is firm and clear, so it can be broken naturally."
"And Mengdie's tricks are even more sinister. They start from the aspects of cause and effect, destiny, etc. What they deceive is the rules of the entire world... What they exploit is the loopholes in the entire world!"
"When it comes to their intentions, they are even more brilliant!"
Ren Qiong heard this and was deeply convinced.
In this way, such heretics can be compared with the entire demonic world, and indeed cannot be matched by simple inner demons.
Just think about it, one day when you go out, you see everyone taking out a butterfly badge and wearing it on their chest, and the clouds in the sky change into the shape of butterflies... It makes me shudder just thinking about it.
"Isn't there no solution?" Ren Qiong exclaimed.
"There is no solution... naturally it is impossible." Jin Ling smiled, "If there is really no solution to Mengdie's trick, can you and I still sit here peacefully like this? The Taoist court will be in turmoil, where is the present?
Peace?"
Ren Qiong raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.
Although there are many shady demons and monsters in the darkness of this era, it is generally peaceful, there is no chaos in the world, and the basic order is maintained.

"So, although trickery is powerful, it also has restraint?"
"Exactly." Jin Ling nodded, "Actually, all changes cannot be separated from their origins, and all methods cannot be separated from their origins."
"Many tricks, no matter how mysterious they are, are rooted in our human bodies and the system of three souls and seven souls."
"It's just that there are some differences in the details."
"Like the Taoist concept, it is to build a bridge between heaven and earth, traverse the long river of time, imprint the glorious chapter of history, and refine the power of humane civilization."
"Other side sects and heretics have differences with us... But no matter how they change, it is difficult to break away from the foundation of the Three Souls."
"The reason why this dream butterfly trick can achieve such exaggerated effects is because it has unique features in the heavenly soul and the earthly soul."
"You are a foundation-building hero. You should understand the main functions of these two souls. One carries destiny, is destiny and endowment, and the other records information, is the reflection of life, and is the collection of cause and effect..."
"Dream Butterfly's tricks can penetrate both of them and deceive the rules of heaven and earth, so they can replace and tamper with them."
"It's a pity that our Taoist court has taken control of the situation and suppressed the destiny of heaven!"
Jin Ling's tone was sonorous and powerful, "Moreover, I have been granted the title of God, mastering the origin of Shinto, influencing the destiny of humanity, adding protective walls one after another to the rules of heaven and earth, and establishing a strict order!"
"Under heavy suppression, no matter how strong Mengdie's trickery is, it's like losing an arm. No matter how strong the magical power is, 100% of it has been lost to 70%. You can't act recklessly."
"If this is the case, it will naturally become impossible!"
"So that's it!" Ren Qiong sighed.
He suddenly realized that this was an application of the general trend and the subtlety of the way of heaven.
Living beings may be weak, but once such weak living beings gather together according to an order and create a dragnet, even the strong will be shaken, and even the most powerful supernatural powers will be suppressed.
"...There are countless magical powers in this world, and there are even more side tricks. If they all appeared in this world, maybe the sky would collapse." Jin Ling whispered, "But, after all, it is the Taoist court that holds up this sky.
Let the common people live and work in peace and contentment."
"Well, that's it." Ren Qiong nodded repeatedly in agreement.
However, he didn't fully agree with it in his heart.
'Perhaps the Taoist court was good when it was first established, but times have changed, who can say for sure?'
'After all, the Zhang family was not built in a day. For such a family to dominate a place and do all kinds of bad things, whose responsibility is it?'
'Either you are blind, or you are indulgent...in short, there are problems.'
Ren Qiong had developed a hatred for the Zhang family, and he had no good opinion of Tao Ting no matter how much resistance he would encounter in annihilating this family.
Ren Qiong smiled inexplicably and changed the subject, "The Daoting holds up the sky, and it is worthy of being the Pillar of Optimization... But no matter how tall the pillar is, it is the result of dedicated talents like Senior Jin Ling.
Only when it is made of bricks and stones can it hold up the sky.”
As the sedan chair was carrying people, Ren Qiong spoke highly of Fairy Jin Ling, making the goddess of war chuckle and feel very happy.
"Excellent award! Excellent award!" She said that she deserved it, "I don't deserve to be called a talented person. I have been working in the Fengshen Division over the years, but I have not made many outstanding contributions."
"For example, not long ago, I was tracking the heretic witch who practiced the Dream Butterfly trick, but in the end I missed it and returned without success..."
"Oh? Is the thief so powerful? Senior Jin Ling had Tao Ting as his backing and yet he failed?" Ren Qiong raised his eyebrows.
"Alas!" Jin Ling sighed, "Because the organization behind that person is not simple. He has the partial remains of an ancient treasure, and there are more than one page."
"Coupled with the special trick of Mengdie, I can always avoid danger. I don't have a good way to deal with it."
"However, that person has been wandering around several nearby states recently, seemingly pursuing traces and clues of a hidden treasure, and has never left... This may be an opportunity for me to avenge my shame."
"Then I wish senior Jin Ling can get his wish." Ren Qiong gave a simple blessing.
He had no intention of going deep into this muddy water, so he skipped it, not wanting to know how the other party could avenge his past humiliation.
At most, it can satisfy some other curiosity, such as what kind of hidden treasure is it? It can make a heretic organization so obsessed with it that it keeps pursuing it.
"Senior Jin Ling, do you know what kind of treasure that is? Even the masters of heretics are so persistent?" Ren Qiong asked casually, while pouring himself another cup of tea and tasting it carefully.
"Well, according to the deductions made by the experts in the Daoting Tianji Division, the treasure is called 'Hetu Luoshu'..." Jin Ling said.
"puff!"
