Chapter 175 - The Magic Weapon Recognizing Its Owner and the Unity of Heaven and Man (2/2)
“What nonsense!” Liu Shuai continued to laugh but still nodded. “You also make sense. But for the magic weapon of too high level, it is best not to do this.”
“Why?” Zhou Yuan and Hao Ning asked together. When Zhou Yuan found Hao Ning’s contempt for himself, he blushed and said, “What’s wrong? I don’t have a magic weapon and I don’t know it. Is this strange?”
“The reason is very simple,” Liu Shuai explained. “The void is broken by the great power, and the magic weapon also has great power. If the two are put together, it is easy to lead to a state.”
“The association between strong enterprises?” Hao Ning first thought of this phrase.
“Dream on!” Liu Shuai was mad at the habit of Hao Ning’s random guess and interposing. He said, “How could good things be all for you? If so, why does Monkey King still hold a stick? Doesn’t he know the association between strong enterprises?”
“It’s the power resonance.” Xiao Hong continued. “The outcome of this kind of resonance is uncertain. Sometimes it’s an association between strong enterprises. But more often, it’s the collapse of the void resulted from the power resonance. Isn’t there a story? There was a team of soldiers, and when they walked on a bridge, they marched in step and their pace seemed to be consistent with the resonant frequency of the bridge. As a result, the bridge collapsed. For similar reasons, the magic weapon and the space expanded by the power will influence each other, causing both the void and the magic weapon destroyed. And the more advanced the magic weapon is, the more serious the situation will be.”
“No wonder, no wonder.” Zhou Yuan understood this time, and he said to himself, “No wonder even for Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad with such a power, his magic weapon is also placed outside.”
“How do you know?” Hao Ning saw that Zhou Yuan immediately understood it and said this secret. He asked curiously, “Have you ever burned the furnace for Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad?”
“Go away! Burning the furnace? It’s good enough that I did not kick his furnace down. Do you forget? In the Journey to the West, it has been written clearly. After Sun Wukong dealt with the Golden Horn
and the Silver Horn, he wanted to keep those magic weapons,” Zhou Yuan replied earnestly, “but he was caught by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad. Sun Wukong asked Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad to prove that the magic weapons were his. Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad said, “The bottle gourd is my bottle used to retain pellets; the kalasa is my bottle used to retain water; the sword is used for killing the devil; the fan is to fan the fire; the cord is my belt.” I used to be confused that Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad has such a big power, and how could he not even keep these things? Now, it seems that it is because these magic weapons have strong powers, and it would be more dangerous for Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad to hide them in the void, so he had to put them outside!”
“Probably this is the reason.” Hao Ning nodded, and then felt a bit disappointed, “It turned out that the unity of heaven and man is just one way to carry magic weapons and keep them invisible. It seems there is nothing remarkable.”
“You underestimated this state,” Xiao Hong continued to explain. On his face showed a quite coy expression. “You should still remember that there is a story in the Journey to the West that Uncle Sun encountered difficulty and asked Avalokitesvara to help him… er, defeat the devil. Avalokitesvara borrowed the water of a sea by his own kalasa and placed it on the turtle, and asked Uncle Sun to take it. Uncle Sun couldn’t take it‒”
“I know about this incident. It was to catch Hong Hai’er‒hey, isn’t that you…” Hao Ning wanted to talk about this story, but suddenly thought of the demon who had been caught and defeated was this Xiao Hong in front of him. Then he knew why Xiao Hong looked awkward. Who wanted to expose his or her own shameful history? So, Hao Ning comforted Xiao Hong by saying, “That is these two helped you to return to the right path, and it is a good thing!”
“Yeah,” Xiao Hong smiled slightly and was quite grateful that Hao Hing did not expose his unspeakable history. “At that time, Bodhisattva explained the reason why Uncle Sun couldn’t take the bottle was that the water in the bottle was the water of a whole sea. So, he couldn’t take it. Now I think about it carefully and know it’s more than that. For Uncle Sun with the ability to overturn rivers and seas, although to stir the water of a whole sea seemed to be laborious, it was not impossible. The fundamental reason was that this kalasa had been united with the Bodhisattva, and if Bodhisattva allows him to take it, he can just take it; if Bodhisattva does not allow him to take it, he can’t take it.”
“That’s it!” Hao Ning slapped his thigh, took the ring off his hand and put it on the table. With his thinking in mind, the ring suddenly appeared. Hao Ning said to Liu Shuai, “Try to take it. Can you get it?”
“Okay!” Liu Shuai excitedly spit out two spits, and then smashed his hands. As expected, even if he used all his strength, he could not pick it up. The more times Liu Shuai tried, the more excited he became. “Good job, Hao Ning. It is truly a unity of heaven and man! How did you make it?”
“I think it is because of the Soul Coin Material and the yesterday’s fight,” Zhou Yuan also tried and really couldn’t get it. He wiped the sweat and guessed. “Hao Ning just learned how to use this Soul Cutter at that night. And at that time, he used it to make the soul become the Soul Coin Material. The Soul Coin Material had a promoting effect on the magic weapon. And yesterday, Hao Ning used the Soul Cutter to fight against the group of people. Perhaps it produced some change?”
“But this Soul Cutter has also been used by Kong and Dao for many times before,” Liu Shuai did not seem to agree with this statement, “and why didn’t they reach the unity of heaven and man?”
“It should be that Dao and Kong did not know how to use it.” Hao Ning corrected while thinking, and the ring flew back to his finger and be put on itself. Then the ring became transparent again, and others could not see it again. “And I think there is another important reason. When using this ring, Dao could only use pure Yang and pure Yin the two kinds of Qi. But I used the Qi of Combining Yin and Yang yesterday. Perhaps because of this reason, the ring thinks I can use it more effectively?”
“It makes sense,” Xiao Hong finally nodded. “So, the unusual state of the table corner probably could only be caused by you, Brother Hao Ning.”
“Unusual state?” Hao Ning looked at the corner of the table on the floor and did not find any difference.
“You are so stupid,” Liu Shuai picked up the table corner. Actually, it was the “shell” of the table corner. He pointed to the white powders inside. “The Soul Cutter that we saw before attacked regardless of internal and external. But the Cutter that you just flew out did make the outside of the table corner look intact while the inside has completely changed. There was no one can use it like this before!”
“Oh, I see!” Hao Ning said to himself, “No wonder that the God of Wealth was so scared last night.”
“What God of Wealth?” Xiao Hong, enjoying an acute hearing, asked.
“Well…” Hao Ning thought about it and felt it was very strange, so he talked about the thing happened in the last night.
“So, there was a voice telling you last night,” Liu Shuai analyzed. “He could help you raise money. And in the end, he was scared away by you the black sheep?”
“You are the black sheep!” Although Hao Ning said this, he was also a little depressed in his heart, “Well, he did be scared away by me.”
“You see,” Zhou Yuan did not care about these details and he guessed, “Is this person the one whose soul has been broken by Hao Ning and turned into the Soul Coin Material two days ago?”
“Really?” Hao Ning stunned. “His soul was broken by me. Shouldn’t he die? Even if he didn’t die, this person did not take revenge on me, but wanted to give me the money? How can there be such a naive person ‒ or God?”
“It also makes sense…” Liu Shuai nodded and agreed. “It is impossible to have another god like Zhou Yuan.”
“Well, yeah,” Zhou Yuan also nodded. Suddenly he felt that there was something in Liu Shuai’s words, and he yelled at Liu Shuai. “What do you mean? Are you saying that I am naive?”
