Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

So when Ling Wuji felt that it was no longer worthwhile for him to continue sparring with Zhao Suyi, and wanted to end this torture—it wasn’t all torture, at least both Zhao Suyi and Kamiya Kaori were rare beauties, but Ling Wuji really didn’t want to continue this practice that had little effect—Zhao Suyi said, “But I guess, in fact, the swordsmanship you chose is not compatible with my swordsmanship.”

Ling Wuji thought about it and said, "So what?"

But his understanding of Liuhe Sword Technique has now reached a bottleneck.

Or rather, ever since he comprehended "Yin and Yang", he has had no idea about the remaining four levels.

Moreover, the remaining four levels did not seem like they could be comprehended through sparring with Zhao Suyi.

Otherwise, some time ago...

No, that's not right.

Maybe it really works.

If there is "wind and rain" in the remaining four layers.

Maybe he had instinctively wanted to use "Wind and Rain" as the second of the remaining four levels during this period. After all, "Wind and Rain as Dark" originally referred to a state of turmoil. When he dealt with Zhao Suyi's swordsmanship, he instinctively wanted to provoke her mind, forming a "Wind and Rain as Dark" situation to overwhelm her swordsmanship. From this perspective, it cannot be said that he had gained nothing during this period of time. It can even be said that...

Ling Wuji thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Even if that's the case, even if I can really overwhelm your sword skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to step into that threshold."

He knew very well that the so-called "windy and dark" state should be launched against the entire society and even the entire world.

If you really want to step over that threshold, you might as well start by breaking down the wall between the inner and outer worlds.

In other words, to develop the technology that can convert human consciousness into photoelectric signals.

At that time, he could use this as the point of his breakthrough and step into this threshold amidst the chaos of social change, instead of practicing with Zhao Suyi every day. Of course, this might be a way, but it would only allow him to break through after Zhao Suyi had made progress to a certain level.

"Sometimes I think you're too sharp, which is not a good thing."

Zhao Suyi saw that Ling Wuji’s eyes were getting brighter and brighter, so she said.

Ling Wuji just glanced at Kamiya Kaori who was preparing tea and drinks under the eaves behind the courtyard, and said, "But I think that only I am sharp enough to discover certain things."

"But now that you've discovered it, why don't you do it? Are you like Fan Shaobo, who thinks that he can sacrifice other people's feelings for him for his own ambitions?"

Ling Wuji glanced at the otherworldly woman in white and said, "I already have a girlfriend."

Zhao Suyi tilted her head slightly and said, "Does the girlfriend you mentioned have any special meaning?"

"You can understand it as a partner."

"so what?"

She asked still puzzled.

Ling Wu Ji discovered that for these people who originally lived thousands of years ago, it did not seem unacceptable for a man to have multiple female partners, although he had long since shattered his own moral standards as a person in modern civilized society. After all, from the perspective of outsiders, he was dating both Arisa Kouin and Asagami Fujino at the same time. Of course, he just felt that his relationship with Arisa Kouin was a little too painful, so subconsciously, his girlfriend was actually Asagami Fujino.

So until now, he has just been content with the status quo in relationships between men and women.

He has the temperament of a scumbag who doesn't take the initiative, doesn't refuse, and doesn't take responsibility.

Volume 5: Dark and Stormy: Chapter 13: Confusion

Therefore, Ling Wuji currently had no way to take the initiative to uncover the piece of paper.

He even felt that the relationship between him and Kamijou Kaori had not reached that level.

It's just a vague affection for each other.

Although Ling Wuji didn't hate being with her.

But if you must say, he actually doesn't hate getting along with all beautiful female creatures.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Suyi glanced at Kamijou Kaori, who was sitting under the eaves with the demeanor of a Yamato Nadeshiko, shook her head, and actually recited a Tang Dynasty poem: "I advise you not to cherish your golden dress, but to cherish your youth. When the flowers are in bloom, you must pick them immediately, and don't wait until there are no flowers left to pluck..."

Ling Wu Ji almost burst out laughing: How could she, a person from the Spring and Autumn Period, recite poems from the Tang Dynasty?

However, if even someone like Joan of Arc can enjoy high school life, there is no reason why Zhao Suyi can't learn some literature, right?

Ling Wu Ji thought so, but still just maintained the original mode of getting along. He ended the stalemate with Zhao Suyi, used Mozi's Five Elements Technique to restore the scene in the courtyard that was destroyed by their swordsmanship competition, and then walked towards Kamiya Kaori with Zhao Suyi. When Zhao Suyi saw her master's eyes becoming slightly excited, she shook her head secretly: Given the temperament of this young man, this situation might last for a long time?

Or maybe, he will become reckless because he has crossed a certain age?

When Zhao Suyi thought about these trivial matters, she felt inexplicably desolate.

……

Joan of Arc, who is in a similar situation as her, has also been feeling inexplicably depressed recently.

At the beginning, she was just like Zhao Suyi. She felt more and more that she was not a historical hero, a phantom summoned by the Holy Grail who would return to the Throne of Heroes after completing her mission. Instead, she felt that she was a living person, because she was no longer acting in the posture of a saint who had already completed and fixedly followed the past to save the country. Instead, she had really become a female high school student, so she eagerly absorbed the knowledge of modern society in high school. Then, similarly, that knowledge might also be constantly transforming her ideas, not to mention that she also regarded people like Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Rizu as friends.

Although the personalities of these two people are not as outstanding as Ling Wuzhi's, their values ​​have touched Joan of Arc to some extent.

Although this saintly savior of France always believed that she was guided by God to save France, what if it was not limited to France?

Although the Holy Grail gave her a certain degree of modern common sense when it summoned her, she was able to find the complete world history introduced in the history textbooks, as well as information about the First and Second World Wars. As a result, all the suffering and bloodshed endured by mankind were revealed to her. It was not just history. The more proficient she became in using the Internet, the more suffering she could see online.

The reason why Joan of Arc is Joan of Arc is that she is a true saint in her inner self.

There was no way she could remain indifferent to these sufferings.

But right next to her, there are two young girls working hard to pursue their dreams; while in the far Middle East, people are suffering.

This sense of disconnection made her feel uneasy all the time.

"Perhaps Jesus' intention in coming to this world is to end the war there? Rather than to bring about a cure?"

But she saw from the information she collected that the development of modern warfare could not be reversed by one person alone, not to mention that she was just a foreigner who was unfamiliar with the place. Moreover, even if it was only temporarily suspended, it would eventually erupt again. When would all these disputes and turmoil, desires and sufferings end?

Ling Wuji didn't know why she was crazy to think about such a question and even come to ask him. However, Ling Wuji still gave her a standard answer: "Maybe it will not end until the extinction of mankind."

Hearing that even someone like Ling Wuji gave this answer, she couldn't help but feel depressed: "Then, what is the meaning of human progress to this point?"

"I said you haven't slept for too long recently so you've become stupid, right?"

Ling Wuji mocked her casually and said.

"Ok?"

"If human progress is meaningless, then the Leticia you are possessing now would probably still be an illiterate village girl like you, instead of a student who can go to school."

Ling Wuji really couldn't understand why such a famous hero in history would get stuck in such a boring question, so he just said nonchalantly:

"Of course, after you died, many wars broke out in this world, and a large number of lives were destroyed in them. But in my opinion, war is the continuation of politics. Once the conflicts between groups cannot be mediated by other means, they can only be resolved through war. If you want to ask when the conflicts between people will be resolved, then I ask you, when will you give up your faith in Jesus?"

"I will never let go!"

Joan of Arc immediately said loudly.

Ling Wuji immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "So, this is the contradiction between you and me that we will never understand each other."

Jeanne's azure eyes suddenly dimmed completely.

"So, you finally figured it out recently and felt that the leader of the Lighthouse Country was the root cause of the turmoil in the world, so you wanted to imitate someone and hijack a plane to assassinate him?"

"I see that you who are still saying this are indeed the source of the chaos in the world!"

Joan of Arc glanced at him and said unhappily.

"So you want to go to the Middle East to save those suffering people?"

Ling Wu Ji felt that the matter was not big enough, so he started to give her some advice.

She shook her head and said, "You Chinese have an old saying, 'It is better to remove the firewood from under the cauldron than to stir up the boiling water to stop it.' I will not do that."

"So what do you think is the end of the matter?"

Joan of Arc thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer.

"I can offer you a very clichéd method."

"what?"

"Then debut as an idol!"

Let Wu Ji speak.

"Idol?"

“Is there any better way than idols to sell love and dreams, spread peace and hope, encourage people to become brothers and sisters to each other, and let them eliminate their disputes and conflicts?”

Jeanne thought about it, and finally shook her head: "It's just fake..."

"Lady Saint," Ling Wuji looked at her seriously and said, "If the idol is fake, can you really prove that the god you believe in is real? No, I should say, can you prove that he can really do anything and is always watching you?"

PS: Today... No, it's the second day, so yesterday is considered a day off. I'll talk about the second chapter in the evening.

Volume 5: Stormy and Dark: Chapter 14: Syncopation and Dialogue

But no matter how you look at it, Ling Wuji's proposal seems a little too outrageous.

After he mentioned it, Jeanne did understand idols. Maybe idols can indeed sell love and dreams, but their audience is narrow and fixed. Maybe in the end, only a small group of fanatics will buy in.

This was contrary to her wishes.

"But from my point of view, your wish seems unrealistic, right?"

Joan of Arc admitted this, but she said, "But it doesn't seem to be the case for you, does it?"

Ling Wuji was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why do you think I am the kind of person who wants world peace?"

"Then what do you think?"

"My idea is, of course, that wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, but the forces that oppress people are not static, and even you and I may be a part of it. So I have never thought about ending human strife, because it is not something that can be ended, at least, not something that can be ended before I lose interest in humans."

Let Wu Ji speak.

"So, you are still interested in humans?"

"That's it."

"So you will still meddle in the affairs of humans?"

"Why do you ask?"

Joan of Arc blushed a little embarrassedly and said, "I want to say, if it's okay..."

"You want to join my plan?"

Ling Wuji helped her speak out.

"I can't guarantee that I won't sabotage your plan, but if your plan can really promote the progress of human society, I will..."

Ling Wu Ji really couldn't believe that someone could be so open and aboveboard as to say that she might ruin the partner's plan when proposing to cooperate with others. However, perhaps this is also the reason why this saint is a saint?

"I say, have you ever thought about pulling your soul out of this girl?"
