Chapter 615 614. Moths to the fire

   "Is Taoist Heming still alive?"

Shia has been in a foreign land for so long, and naturally she has come into contact with many things related to Daoist Heming. In her cognition, Daoist Heming should have already soared, and her will has become the existence of evil gods in those foreign countries. Lower bodies were scrambled.

   In the "now" abandoned capital, he is at least a person from hundreds of years ago, how can he still live today?

   "To be precise, if you define death by the cessation of consciousness, then Daoist Heming has never died. If you define death by abandoning the body, then Daoist Heming has already died."

   Stone shook the ash from his pipe.

   "I don't like the way you speak."

   Shia was blunt, at least Drizzt wouldn't say such vague words.

"I'm sorry, Miss Shia, my profession has made me accustomed to keeping secrets. If only telling half the truth can achieve the goal, then the remaining half of the truth can be sold for a good price. Of course, in front of God's Chosen, I I'll take care of myself."

  Stone explained that he was not malicious, and then explained.

"According to my investigation and Mr. Drizzt, Daoist Heming has indeed ascended. The so-called ascending is the same as ascending. He has mastered a lot of severely polluted knowledge in Waste City, and may even have faced some great existences. When these contaminations reach a limit, he loses his human body and becomes like those monsters."

"His human remains contain a lot of pollution and are collected by his disciples. Sometimes they will be sold in the underground black market of the abandoned capital. Those rich and stupid guys will spend a lot of money to buy them and grind them into powder. Then eat it to try to increase your strength or prolong your life.”

"Of course, in the first time, these powders do give them an extraordinary feeling, they can feel their bodies become younger, their muscles are stronger, their vision is wider, and their thinking becomes clearer, which is Because pollution brings power, but then, just a few years later, most of these people will fall into madness because of the babble that echoes in their ears all the time, and finally end miserably."

"Nevertheless, the remains of Daoist Heming are still in high demand. People always have luck and always think that they will not be the one who is in distress, but no one knows that they are like moths fighting a fire. Running all the way to destruction without realizing it."

   Having said this, Stone sighed.

  These stupid rich people are scrambling for pollution, but the Chosen One is not like that.

  The Chosen people first entered the place of silence for power, to change their lives, and to pursue knowledge.

But when the mission is carried out again and again, the truth of the exotic world is gradually revealed, and the chosen people realize that it is not that they are chasing knowledge, but the knowledge is chasing them. Even so, the chosen people must continue to go deep into the foreign realm to master more power, Otherwise, you will fall into madness or die outright.

  The more powerful the chosen one, the more tasks they have gone through, the lower their sanity and the closer they are to madness.

  Moths to the flames are the ones who are chosen by God.

   "As for the spirit or soul of Daoist Heming, it involves the state after sublimation, or the state of becoming a god."

   After considering the words, Stone said.

"When the knowledge that humans bear reaches a certain limit, the body collapses, and the soul becomes alienated, they will degenerate into monsters, but there are exceptions. If you do not passively accept the infusion of knowledge, but actively seek knowledge, then there is a certain probability. It will completely lose its mind, but it can survive a little, or use some special means to block the erosion of knowledge on itself, and it can also save the will."

  Lu Kizuna thought of Xuanjun when he heard the words.

Drizzt must have also suffered the pollution of the old Dominator level, but his will can still be maintained to a certain extent and continued. From the perspective of ordinary people, Drizzt has become Xuanjun. A demigod-like being.

   Therefore, as long as it is polluted under certain circumstances, it is possible to sublimate and become a god.

"Daoist Heming has sublimated, but not completely sublimated. He adopts a rather crude and primitive sublimation method - leaving the pollution in the body, and the soul is separated from the body to find a new basis, so as to avoid pollution to the greatest extent possible. to gain the most knowledge.”

   Stone explained.

   "Huh? That way of describing it."

  Lu Kian quickly thought of his dead crowbar.

When Lu Bian held the crowbar, the corresponding method of using the crowbar would cover his brain like a spider web, and knowledge would flood into his mind, but once he let go of the crowbar, the corresponding knowledge would disappear. It did not cause serious pollution to the land trip.

   This method of engraving knowledge on objects can avoid pollution to a certain extent. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Once something leaves your hand, it does not belong to you, and the power is given to others.

   For Daoist Heming, the body is also an object.

He left part of the serious pollution on his body and scattered it all over the place, while his spirit remained sane, and he has been dormant in the abandoned capital. When he can slowly digest the pollution one day and adapt to himself, he will use some method to get it back. The body is constantly moving towards a higher level of pollution.

   "Maybe Daoist Heming is listening to us now."

  Stone smiled.

   "What do you know about Conjuring Night?"

   Shia asked again.

  The resurrection of the dead is also a taboo topic in the Kingdom of Night. Even if you master magic, you can't bring people back from the dead, but the night of the ghost town in this abandoned city seems to imply that the dead may be resurrected.

"Spiritualism is a hidden custom. Only a small number of people know this. These people are usually Heming Sect believers. It will return to the body, resurrected, and before that, the corpse needs to be kept intact, or replaced with a fresher corpse."

  Stone said while recalling.

"For this reason, the believers of the Heming Sect have done some illegal things. You all know that those rich and powerful people dream of being resurrected from the dead, while the flattering subordinates will go to please them. Kill those young people as ritual offerings."

   "How stupid."

   Shia scoffed at this.

   "Will this ceremony be successful, or is it just a simple Heming Sect's scam, similar to me, Heming Daoist, making money or something?"

   Land Kizuna asked.

   "At least in my knowledge, there are no successful examples."

   Stone said, but soon the conversation changed.

   "It can be said that Daoist Heming himself used a similar method to return to his soul."
