Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

Ling Wuji had previously said that he didn't want to help people solve their financial problems.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

Anyway, with the current technology, Joan of Arc is not in a state where she can separate both consciousnesses. This proves that this technology still needs some time to improve. Not to mention, even if Joan of Arc's soul can be separated, the technology to create a body that carries the consciousness of a cyborg may not be so easy to come by.

"Moreover, with the Einzbern family's artificial human technology, it doesn't seem necessary to design the body that carries the Cyberman to be a body made entirely of electronic devices, right?"

Ling Wu Ji was lying in bed thinking about this question, and for a moment he had the illusion that he was actually living in a science fiction novel. In other words, it was not until now that he finally felt that the world he lived in did not operate according to his inherent impression. Although the advancement of VR technology could already be called science fiction before, for him, the biggest application of this technology was nothing more than playing games. Although he used this technology to expand his Shinto system, and could currently obtain a lot of power, he had never paid much attention to his Shinto system. As for knocking down the walls of the inner and outer worlds, it was currently limited by the progress of Shinono Hoshino, Cecilia Orcutt, and Yukinoshita Haruno. As long as they did not break through their innate abilities, the data they collected would not be updated. Therefore, those who learned martial arts from the game "Tenjin" would at most find that their bodies had become better and their fighting skills had become more.

So for Ling Wuji, VR technology is probably like Intel releasing a new generation of CPU or Huang releasing a new generation of graphics cards.

But it was not until now, when a possibility emerged from Joan of Arc, that he realized that that science fiction era was not far away from him.

Even just a thin piece of paper.

The prerequisite is that he has enough courage to push this technology forward.

Instead of hiding in the world they are familiar with, they think that the development of this technology will bring about more complex and difficult to cope with changes, so they tend to be conservative in their response. Even if this technology is developed, it will be sealed up and they will not bring it out until human society develops to a certain level.

“But the question is, what is the right level?”

Ling Wu Ji muttered to himself.

He has always believed that technology is the most fundamental reason for promoting the progress of human society.

Although technological advances often mean that the means of killing people are constantly being updated and updated in larger numbers.

But isn't it him who now controls the lives of the entire Kanto region of Japan, and who is hanging over everyone's head like a sword of Damocles?

Moreover, he had long realized his true nature. He was not really a pure Zuo Ren. Even though this technology would probably become a tool for the upper class to pursue immortality and would not be open to the lower class at all, he felt that he had to push forward. Although according to his original idea, he actually pinned his hopes on the demolition of the gate between the inner and outer worlds...

"No, in fact, it all comes back to the demolition of the wall between the inner and outer worlds."

Ling Wu Ji suddenly realized the problem.

After all, even if the upper class wants to pursue immortality through this technology, it is nothing more than replacing the carrier of consciousness from easily destructible organic matter with long-lasting electronic components. But if this is the case, even if they take the carrier to outer space or to the moon, there is a possibility that it will be destroyed.

Because the tearing down of the walls between the inner and outer worlds is the return of the so-called "great power returning to oneself."

If everyone can practice, then even in the lower classes, it is not impossible for some amazing people to emerge, break through to the Grandmaster level or even higher, and then blow up the carriers of those people with one punch.

"Although the upper class may also practice it."

And in terms of probability, the possibility of such people appearing in the upper class is even higher.

After all, the education they received since childhood was much better than that of the lower classes. They also had better conditions for cultivation and the capital to repeat trial and error.

But in the final analysis, such people are ultimately a minority, and this is the cruelty of the mysterious side. People without talent, no matter how superior their conditions are, cannot cross the threshold that has existed in the dark. No matter how many resources you pile up, what you cannot reach is unattainable, because what determines a person's fate on the mysterious side is personal consciousness, and before one can break through the barrier of life and death, or even realize one's true nature, personal consciousness is unstable, and it is difficult to say that one will necessarily achieve something.

On the technological side, an individual's fate, of course, refers to his or her role as a test subject rather than as a scientist, and depends entirely on whether the experimental conditions are good enough.

Volume 5: Dark and Stormy: Chapter 11: Progress and Swordsmanship

Joan of Arc was not clear about Ling Wuji's purpose.

But that did not prevent her from noticing Ling Wuji's scrutinizing gaze towards her.

At this time, the positions of the two people seem to be reversed, the observer becomes the monitored, and the monitored becomes the observer.

In fact, from her point of view, Ling Wuji is a person with a very strong personality. Although she has seen many feudal nobles with strong personalities in the process of trying to save France, those feudal nobles basically have excessive personalities. When they go too far, they will become cynical and even live a life of drunkenness and dreams, and accept all the ugliness, vulgarity and shamelessness of the world. Ling Wuji is at most just a little mean.

Of course, if she could really touch upon the other side of Ling Wuji's private life, perhaps the evaluation would be completely different.

However, she did not develop such a close relationship with Ling Wuji.

Not to mention that Ling Wuji's appearance was too deceptive.

So when Ling Wuji asked her to help tutor the two second-year girls, she joined in without hesitation. Ling Wuji had originally helped to mark the test papers in the beginning and helped them and Joan of Arc organize their thoughts, but in the end, Ling Wuji did not continue to tutor them. Instead, Joan of Arc became the communication bridge between the two so-called geniuses. Then the two geniuses kept forcing her to keep up with their thoughts, so in the end, she took on the main task of tutoring the two people. As for Ling Wuji, he withdrew very early.

During this process, Joan of Arc also fully learned all kinds of knowledge involved in high school courses.

It even progressed together with the other consciousness of this body of hers.

After all, if you want to keep up with those two so-called geniuses, you don’t need a normal level of academic performance.

Although from Ling Wuzhi's point of view, neither Furuhashi Fumino nor Ogata Rizu can be considered true geniuses.

“Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, remember that not everyone has the advantages that you have.”

Joan of Arc had learned a lot of knowledge during this period of time, and she used sentences from famous books to teach Ling Wuji a lesson.

But Ling Wuji said: "It's just a matter of evaluation criteria."

"Evaluation criteria?"

"As for the matter of solving problems, even in the humanities, it is actually just a process of answering questions that cater to the standards of the question setter. So in my opinion, whether it is Furuhashi Fumino or Ogata Rizu, they have not really established their own knowledge system. If a person is a true genius, he will instinctively construct his own standard process for solving problems. Do humanities questions not require rationality at all, but only emotion? And do science questions not require memorization?"

Joan of Arc hesitated for a moment, shook her head, but then said, "But..."

"But they only performed well in the subjects they were good at, and their performance in the subjects they were not good at was not ideal, which only proved that they were just relying on instinct to solve the questions before."

Ling Wuji, Jeanne, and Liliana walked together as usual. Just as they were about to cross the school courtyard and head toward the school gate, they heard Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice behind them: "But in the eyes of many people, only those with this instinct are true geniuses."

"Oh?"

Ling Wu Ji turned around and glanced at the slightly neurotic female teacher in a white coat.

"Because in their eyes, instinct is the most valuable, like an unpolished jade. Once it goes through the standard process of constructing questions like you mentioned, it will destroy this naturally formed jade, and then damage their own value."

Ling Wuji just nodded: "So?"

"You seem to disagree with this statement?"

"Teacher Hiratsuka." Only when she heard Ling Wuji use this title seriously did Hiratsuka Shizuka finally feel that she was his teacher and not some other identity that he could arbitrarily criticize. "Let's not talk about whether this process can be considered as the discipline I helped them to have. Who determines their value?"

Ling Wu Ji's question made Hiratsuka Shizuka fall into silence.

"Speaking of which, teacher, why did you bring up that topic? Could it be that some teacher has a different educational philosophy than yours so you want to divert the blame?"

"Haha," Hiratsuka Shizuka said breathlessly, "How could that be?"

"Better not."

Ling Wu Ji shook his head, turned around and continued walking towards the school gate.

When Shizuka Hiratsuka saw the three people walking together, she suddenly became confused: Although she had long known that there seemed to be something fishy going on between these three people, the blonde girl's attitude towards Ling Wuji seemed to have been bad, so why were they so harmonious now?

That little brat is so good at dealing with female creatures?

Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head, then thought of her colleague who was often compared to Ling Wuji. For a moment, she couldn't help but think that if she really gave Ling Wuji up, with Ling Wuji's methods, he might turn around and obey her.

After all, that person's position has always been chaotic and unpredictable.

……

Ling Wuji, who was considered to have always had a confused attitude, said goodbye to the two European students at the school gate.

Then, as usual, he ran to Kamisaki Kaori's house.

As usual, Zhao Suyi was waiting for him in the courtyard of Kamiya Kaori's house.

Although Kamiya Kaori's home actually has a very large dojo.

However, neither Ling Wu Ji nor Zhao Suyi were used to practicing swords in that kind of occasion. Although Kamiya Huozhi didn't care, the two of them were quite restrained when they started fighting, but they always caused some damage. Although Ling Wu Ji could also use magic to repair it, the cleaning work after the repair could not be done so delicately with magic.

Or maybe Ling Wu Ji was too lazy to do it so delicately.

So he would rather repair the yard.

That day, he greeted Zhao Suyi as usual, then used the yin and yang energies of the Tai Chi diagram to condense a sword of ancient style, and practiced against Zhao Suyi. During this period of time, he gradually became familiar with Zhao Suyi's swordsmanship. Although he himself could not do that, just as he evaluated the two so-called geniuses, he also instinctively formed a way to deal with this swordsmanship.

Zhao Suyi even felt a sense of pressure from Ling Wuji for the first time in a long time.

Although he didn't use the Liuhe Sword Technique at all.

Nor did he enter the state of mind that was unique to her swordsmanship.

But every time Ling Wu Ji thrust out his sword, it was like throwing a stone into the calm water, trying to destroy her state of mind and disrupt her swordsmanship.

So in the end she stopped, looked at Ling Wuji with complicated eyes, and said: "It seems that I was wrong..."

Volume 5: Stormy and Dark: Chapter 12: Stormy and Dark

"There is no way you can learn my swordsmanship."

Zhao Suyi made such an assertion to Ling Wuji.

"Without using the so-called Heavenly Escape Sword Technique."

She thought about it and added.

Although Ling Wu Ji also vaguely discovered this fact, after all, he has always had an inexplicable confidence in his talent, thinking that as long as he wanted, he could learn any kind of magic and swordsmanship. However, over the past month, his method of dealing with this swordsmanship has become more and more proficient, but his understanding of this swordsmanship has become more and more vague. He feels that he may have a natural incompatibility with this swordsmanship.

"Where do you think the problem lies?"

Ling Wuji still asked.

"Maybe you're too proactive."

"Too proactive?"

"Yes, you are too proactive," Zhao Suyi said, looking at the sword-wielding young man opposite him, recalling his increasingly skilled reactions in recent days. "When I say proactive, I'm not referring to the response strategy you adopt, but your mentality. You choose yourself between yourself and the 'Tao' or 'Reason' of the outside world, and my swordsmanship seeks to integrate your mind into the 'Tao' of the outside world. If you always choose this way, I'm afraid you will never be able to learn my swordsmanship. So if you want to achieve the means of spatial movement, you might as well practice step by step. After becoming a saint, you will probably be able to rely on your magical power to achieve it."

"is it?"

Ling Wuji pondered for a moment.

"Of course, you can also use the Sky Escape Sword Technique to enter that state of mind, but it should be very troublesome, right?"

Zhao Suyi had also heard Ling Wuji talk about the Tiandun sword technique.

Sometimes she felt a bit amused and helpless about Ling Wuji's ingenious way of using that sword technique.

If the person who created this sword technique, which was originally used to cultivate the state of mind, knew that later generations used it in this way, I don't know whether he would be angry or praise Ling Wu Ji.

However, Ling Wuji's approach of repeatedly cutting off his distracting thoughts and then taking them back after achieving his goal may not be without any risks. If something goes wrong in the middle, Ling Wuji himself may become the kind of person who has cut off all emotions and desires and has no external thoughts in his heart. Although she doesn't know which Ling Wuji is better, if Ling Wuji becomes like that, her current landlord, or master, will be very sad, right?

Although Zhao Suyi found the situation of these two people really interesting.

It was as if there was a piece of window paper between them that could be torn with a scratch, but the two of them were very sensible and did not move. They just stood quietly in their respective areas, as if they were waiting for an opportunity, or as if they were afraid that the person they would see after the window paper was scratched would stay away.

Only at this time did she feel that she was not a historical figure from thousands of years ago, a heroic spirit, or a phantom left over from the past, but a living person who was witnessing a rather interesting story.

Although she had seen similar stories when she was still alive.

It’s just that the story of Fan Shaobo and Shi Yi Guang has too many flaws.

So she wanted to make sure that these two people had no flaws as much as possible.
