Crow's Paradise

Yao Yan observed silently for two days.

Contrary to his expectation, those Taoist disciples did not find him.

This foiled his plan.

He originally wanted to test Lao Jia's statement.

After the target is contaminated, the spirit changes, and by swallowing the target's spirit, you can increase your own power.

But the target didn't come to him, and he couldn't even confirm whether "contamination" could be caused by creating rumors in this way.

Did the other party hear the rumor he made up?

Or is it that the other party didn't take this rumor seriously?

Or maybe the other party is the cautious type, waiting for the opportunity?

However, although it is impossible to determine whether the target has been contaminated,

He stretched out his palm, and a strange crow with half a saw-toothed beak, sharp claws, half of its head with goat's horns, and rough claws and feet emerged from his hand.

Yao Yan could feel that there was a faint layer of white power lingering on its body.

This white color condensed vaguely, forming a layer of faint lines, like crow-like marks.

Spirit Seal?

And Bo He's memory gave him the answer.

This is the spiritual seal.

But it is not really the true seal, but the wild seal.

There is no wild seal inherited from Dasheng.

And under this layer of crow mark, this black crow looks much more ferocious.

demon.

From Yexubahe's memory, he could clearly understand how this strange crow would be judged in this world.

And why did this strange crow become a demon?

Although Yao Yan was not sure, according to his opinion, the reason was probably the story he had spread, based on the beacon fire drama of the princes, combined with the posture of the strange crow, and modified it.

This story was localized and involved with King Sheng to create this "legend".

What are rumors?

According to his definition, rumors refer to statements that are somewhat different from the facts but are accepted and believed by others.

The fact is that it only says that a certain person has a cow.

So, if someone says how big or heavy the cow is, or that it is different from the size of the cow, it is a rumor.

Likewise, the difference in the color of the cow is described, which is also a rumor.

If there are two cows, then this is also a rumor.

To say it is a horse is also a rumor.

It is also a rumor to call an adult cow a calf.

It is also a rumor to say that the owner of the cow is another person.

It is also a rumor to say that cows have no owners.

Any deviation from the facts, whether it is exaggeration or deviation, is a type of rumor.

One thing Yao Yan wanted to confirm was the category of "rumor" in his nature.

However, now, there is an unexpected harvest.

According to "Bo He"'s memory, "Ye Xiu" is indeed related to spreading opinions, but there are still conditions.

For example, Bo He himself claimed that he was a disciple of Taoism.

But this alone is not enough, he also needs to be "confirmed".

He needs to publicly reveal his identity as a Taoist disciple, and through confirmation, make people "convinced" that he is a Taoist disciple, in order to obtain spiritual power.

And if he wants to use these spiritual powers to perform Taoist magic, he needs to obtain Taoist magic by himself.

Simply put, by publicizing his identity and convincing others of his identity, he can only gain spiritual power, but it does not allow him to actually acquire Taoist magic.

Only when the process from "publicity" to "confirmation" is completed can he obtain spiritual power.

He cannot generate spiritual power on his own and relies on people to believe in this "fact" in order to obtain spiritual power.

In other words, this power is not his own.

This feeling is a bit like the "incense to the gods" feeling in some stories that were circulated during his lifetime.

Those small gods, small temples, earth-gong and the like will disappear without the incense.

And in this world, this kind of power that is similar to "incense" has become the basis of the extraordinary power of this world.

Has it become a "natural law"?

but.

It's different here.

These "spiritual powers" already belong to this strange crow.

His strange crow even had some changes in appearance as a result.

The appearance looks even more ferocious and terrifying.

It is related to the story he spread, but it should be more than that.

"rumor".

In a whisper, Yao Yan once again recalled the words describing it as "rumors" when he entered the "trial space" that seemed to be "Crows Paradise".

"Ignore conditional constraints"

"No prerequisites required"

"No evidence required"

If it is as he thought, then although his power is not directly destructive, the scope of application of his power may be unusually broad.

At least, the "natural laws" of this world can be used to his advantage.

Taking back the strange crow, Yao Yan walked out of the room.

Maybe, we can put on a play.

In front of the teahouse.

Instead of entering the teahouse as usual, Qi Li chose to sit at an outside table outside the teahouse. This time, he was the only one, and his senior brothers did not act with him.

After straightening the high crown on his head, Qi Li silently observed the waiter.

He observed for two days. After asking the escort named Luo that day, the waiter also asked several teahouse guests.

On the second day after that day, when he came to drink tea alone, the waiter in the shop also asked several customers, but compared to the first day, he seemed less interested, because those customers all replied that they had never heard of it.

today

He didn't even hear the waiter in the shop talk about the strange bird story related to King Sheng.

That's why, from the change in the waiter's attitude, he could probably determine that the waiter didn't really understand the story.

I think I heard it from someone or translated it from a story book.

Could it be written by a "novelist"?

It’s not like he didn’t understand novelists.

Among the hundreds of families who worshiped King Sheng, there was indeed a "novelist".

The novelist originated from Confucianism.

The predecessor of Confucianism was the sacrificial officials, who inherited the rituals and music, recorded the deeds of the kings, and were themselves members of the prosperous dynasty.

Later, after King Sheng subdued hundreds of schools of thought, the Confucians showed their timidity, and the Confucians who originally occupied all official positions shrank into the civil service.

Originally, in addition to the official department, the post of historian was owned by Confucians.

However, later the historian also left Confucianism and became a member of the Zhongshu Province. In addition to recording the king's travels, he also recorded the words and deeds of hundreds of officials.

It even has the potential to become a historian of its own.

However, there are too few descendants and few historians to rectify their names.

The children of historians who could not enter the court were often reduced to marginal officials, petty officials and petty officials, and even flowed into the private sector to record what the people said and passed on.

Although it can be called "history", people talk a lot and there are many people who say it without evidence. It is not official history, so it is called "unofficial history".

Those who have been reduced to the common people have difficulty making ends meet due to lack of salary and salary. Some of their children even make up false stories in order to beg for money, just to attract attention.

And they are "novelists".

There is a saying in the document written by the historian: "The flow of novelists is due to the barnyard officials. The talk in the streets is created by hearsay."

Unofficial history is okay, it just records the rumors of the people.

The novelist came up with a rumor.

Many rumors come from novelists' scripts.

Oh, right.

Qi Li glanced around, seeming to be looking for something.

He glanced at the waiter and said hello:

"Xiao Er, where was the storyteller from the past few days?"

The waiter hurriedly came over and responded with a smile:

"Master Dao, do you want to listen to a book? Old Man Gao should be at home or looking for other jobs."

Of course Qi Li didn't do it to listen to books. The reason why he asked this was because

"Storytellers" are often children of novelists.
