Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

"Yes……"

Awashima Seri was speechless for a moment.

The future she wanted...

Is it just about her own future, or the future of Japan as a whole? But can the future of Japan as a whole really be decided by her in just a few words?

"Or do you just want to maintain the status quo?"

Ling Wu Ji just asked.

Awashima Seri suddenly had a bitter smile.

She didn't know whether Ling Wuji was being sarcastic or not.

But maybe that's what she thought deep down.

She really just wanted to maintain the status quo.

"But do you think that Japan's current situation can really be called good?"

"But it's better than the future you designed, right?"

"Strictly speaking, this is not the future I designed. This is their own choice. Although perhaps according to the normal trend of history, after my country gradually returns to the center of East Asia, this country will not be able to control this level of power and will always be suppressed. So in this case, the historical issues between the two will sooner or later be settled..." Ling Wuji still had that calm expression, or absent-minded, "But if historical issues will be settled sooner or later, my dear sister Shili, what you are doing now, aren't you trying to postpone the settlement?"

"Don't call me that."

When Awashima Seri heard Ling Wuji's address, she blushed a little, but finally said: "I just think that most people are not ready now, they just..."

“Were they just fooled by the politicians?”

Awashima Seri nodded with difficulty.

"Just like the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?"

Awashima Seri knew what Ling Wuzhi meant.

She is not an uneducated fool.

After all, she was a graduate from a prestigious university, so she could understand Ling Wuji's words. Ling Wuji meant that if the Japanese thought the residents on the island were innocent, then the Lighthouse Country should apologize for dropping the atomic bomb. But this seemed to be going back to the starting point. How many innocent Japanese were there in that war? How many people in reality can really face up to that history and actively make their voices heard?

After all, it is well known that the Japanese people's tendency to speak according to the atmosphere is ingrained in their national character.

Although Ling Wuji feels that the so-called national character is a false proposition.

However, he has not found a deeper explanation for this matter, so he had to accept the explanation of this proposition temporarily.

As for him, although many people wanted to use the incident of accidentally hurting innocent people to stop him from continuing to do so, when Ling Wu Ji questioned those people about how many truly innocent people there were, they would be speechless. After all, silent accomplices are still accomplices. Although most people in the world are basically silent, if they really want to say it, aren't they themselves the ones who have chosen the person who can decide their voice now?

So if Japan is really a democratic country as they say, then the final outcome of democracy will ultimately fall on the people themselves, and no one can escape from it.

Although Ling Wuji knew that the nature of Japan as a country might not really be called a democratic country.

But this does not prevent him from criticizing from this perspective.

Faced with Ling Wuzhi's messy words, Awashima Seri couldn't think of anything to respond for a moment.

Should she object?

For example, she knew that the majority of the upper echelons of the government were people who came from political families, just like in the theatrical version of "Detective Conan" "The Phantom of Baker Street", where Ai Huihara said in a pretentiously innocent tone, "Children of politicians grow up to be politicians, and children of bankers grow up to be bankers"...

"But if you look at it from this perspective, Japan is a sufficiently stable society. Since it was able to retain this implicit hereditary system after the war, you shouldn't lose confidence that Japanese society can't continue to be stable."

Ling Wu Ji just said.

Awashima Seri could only respond with a wry smile.

"But isn't the root of all the problems you're responsible for? To you, isn't the real world just a piece of paper for you to write on?" Awashima Seri finally chose to reveal the truth, revealing the things that were hidden between the two of them. She chose to discuss at the most fundamental level, or in other words, to question Ling Wuji in the most straightforward way, "Assuming that Japanese society can finally barely maintain the status quo, it's like a person walking on a single-plank bridge with trepidation. With your personality, you will definitely be unable to resist giving that person a push from behind, right?"

"Do you think I'm that bad?"

Awashima Seri nodded.

"Then why did you choose to approach me in the first place?"

"Perhaps it's because I didn't see your true nature clearly at that time?"

When Awashima Seri thought back to her interactions with this person, she was a little hesitant for a moment. For her, she knew that this person's weight in her life could no longer be separated, because no matter what, she had been tainted too much by Ling Wuzhi's color. Even if she wanted to make a cut, it would be impossible to separate them completely, because this person was an unavoidable existence in the world she lived in. His influence radiated all the time and was increasing day by day. To her, perhaps, he was like air.

This does not necessarily mean how important Ling Wuji is in her heart.

But in essence, for Seri Awashima, without air, she would not be able to continue her existence.

"But now that you see clearly, why don't you choose to stay away?"

Ling Wuji did not choose to continue to dwell on the original issue at this time.

In other words, he had already tacitly accepted what Awashima Seri said and admitted that he was indeed the type of person who would push others from behind.

So if she doesn't want to accept my approach, she can just choose to stay away from her now.

He won't stop it.

"I heard that you said the same thing to those people."

But Awashima Seri seemed to remember something and spoke.

"those people?"

"Like Asagami and Shinomiya."

Ling Wuji frowned immediately: "If what you mean by this statement is that I admit and speak out a certain reality, and point out the current situation, allowing others to make a choice, then Qianshang may be a little bit in line with it, but Xiao Gong, she is purely..."

Although saying this is a bit derogatory.

But he did think that Shinomiya Ayase was just having a brain seizure.

"It sounds like you're deeply in love with that girl," Awashima Seri said softly, without any emotion. It's better to say that she was the one who encouraged Ling Wuji to develop and accept this relationship from the beginning. "But at the beginning, didn't you suspect that she only had a crush on you because you saved her? So you thought her crush on you was not pure, so you didn't want to accept it?"

"If you really want to look into it," Ling Wuji said, "isn't it because I have a good impression of her that I care so much about whether she really likes me?"

Awashima Seri shook her head: "But if you really like her, why would you accept someone else?"

"Well..." Ling Wuji thought about it, but he couldn't come up with any useful conclusion. Although the first person who determined the current situation was undoubtedly the incident with Arisa of the Imperial Household, and the relationship between him and the eldest lady of the Imperial Household, which was definitely not normal, it also caused his moral values ​​to be further broken. But there is no point in saying this now. "Just treat me as a scumbag. Anyway, I don't think there is anything wrong with being a scumbag. But didn't we discuss Japan's problems in the beginning? Why did you turn to criticizing me personally in the end?"

"Then let me reiterate that point. To you, isn't the real world just a piece of paper that you can write on?"

Ling Wuji sorted out the logic and said, "So you want to change the world by changing me?"

Awashima Seri nodded, then shook her head and said, "Although I don't really have high hopes for this. You don't seem like someone who would change your mind because of words. I'm afraid your nature has become stubborn to a certain extent."

"Strictly speaking, it's not that I won't change my mind because of words, I just won't change my mind because of other people's interpretation of the current situation," Ling Wuji said, "Everyone has their own views on the current situation, and everyone's views are based on their own observations and experiences, and the interpretations they make are also based on this. But the problem is, you also know that I have the spell of 'Taixujian', so I can see much more than they can, so why should I admit that their words are correct?"

"But just because you've seen more doesn't mean your conclusion is correct, right?" Awashima Seri simply said, "Don't you Chinese have a saying that goes something like this: if you're on the wrong path, the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you become. Not to mention, I doubt if you're using that 'Taixujian' spell to spy on other girls bathing all day long, instead of doing some social research!"

"If you really want to talk about it, why didn't I just choose you as the target of my voyeurism?"

"You pervert!"

Awashima Seri immediately drew the long sword from her waist, pointed the tip of the sword at him, and threw it at him, but in the end the young man caught it nonchalantly.

Although she thought about Ling Wuji peeping at her while she was bathing, her first reaction was not disgust, but rather a little...

excited?

But in order to hide her reaction, she did it immediately.

After Ling Wu Ji took her sword, he didn't say much. It seemed that both he and Awashima Seri felt that this was just a trivial joke and was not worth making a fuss about. Awashima Seri also knew that Ling Wu Ji could definitely handle it, so she did it without thinking.

"Come to think of it, you said that you really won't change your mind because of words. Then under what circumstances will you change your opinion because of words?"

"To be precise, it's about changing your view of a person."

Although the lesson throughout history is to "observe his words and watch his actions", otherwise one might "judge a person by his appearance and lose Zi Yu", for Ling Wu Ji, the process of "observing his actions" has never been necessary, or he himself is the kind of person who judges people by their appearance. The reason why he does not need the process of "observing his actions" is that even if he misjudges a person because of his words, it will not cause any serious consequences.

"Even if that person betrayed you?"

"If you don't have any expectations of someone, it can't be considered a betrayal."

Ling Wu Ji just said.

Awashima Seri sighed, "That's why I thought that you were like a boat drifting in the vast ocean, unable to drop anchor. I didn't expect you to be like this now. If you are not interested in a specific person in this world, then why do you still have a certain interest in humanity as a whole? I also heard that you said you hope that humans can go to the sea of ​​stars, but with your current abilities, even if you want to move directly to Mars with your own abilities, it shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

“It’s actually quite difficult.”

"But it's not completely impossible, right?"

Awashima Seri just said.

"That's true."

Ling Wu Ji would never deny this.

"Since you think you can do anything and have no interest in anyone else, why do you want to cause such a bad influence in human society?"

"So in your opinion, magic only amplifies human malice?"

Awashima Seri nodded, then shook her head: "I don't know, but..."

She wanted to criticize Ling Wuji for not being right, but what was the right thing to do? Maintain the status quo and take it slow? If things continued like this, it would only delay the reckoning of history as Ling Wuji had said. Needless to say, she actually agreed with what Kirisu Miharu had said. If the truth was really as the boy had said, after the walls between the inner and outer worlds were broken and the boundaries of human self were enlarged, if they could help each other...

And she couldn't help but realize that, in reality, magic was equivalent to firearms in a sense, and what allowed the world to barely maintain a state of peace now was... nuclear deterrence?

But the problem now is that this nuclear weapon has its own consciousness and cannot be influenced by human group decisions.

The Blue King's deputy looked at the young man in front of him and thought.

Although she had once heard Ling Wu Ji's comment that the kings selected by the stone tablet system were so-called humanoid self-propelled nuclear weapons, at the moment, this comment was more appropriate for him. If the deterrent nature of the king itself lies in the fact that when the Weisman deviation value reaches a certain level, the devastating blow caused by the fall of the sword of Damocles will be like that caused by a nuclear weapon, but for a country with a mature industrial system, there is certainly more than one nuclear weapon, and the king has only one life.

Once used, it’s gone.

As far as Awashima Seri knew, the spell used by the young man, which he called "Hokuto Hehun Jue Si Jutsu", could harvest almost everyone's soul in an instant, like a huge god of death waving a scythe at the island country on the surface. After all, he had set up the Sky Curtain Barrier throughout Japan, and spread the belief in Hokuto Jue Si Jutsu through that game. If Ling Wu Ji really had that idea, it would be equivalent to them helping him to forge the deadly weapon with their own hands and handing it to him personally.

"Frankly speaking, I'm tired of this kind of conversation," Ling Wuji said absentmindedly, still looking nonchalant. "If you are hostile to me, or want to stop me from doing something, then you should have understood everything at the beginning, instead of analyzing the various intentions behind my actions at the last minute. At this point, there is no point in stating the facts. Or have you finally discovered my true colors, so you want to stay away from me?"

“It’s not like I haven’t had this thought before.”

Awashima Seri took a deep breath and said.

"Then..."

Ling Wuji hesitated for only a moment before making a decision. He was then interrupted by Awashima Seri, who simply asked the young man, "In the future that you can foresee, what kind of role does the director play?"

"A character who thinks he can calm down troubled times."

"Is it just someone who thinks he can calm things down, but can't?"
