Kongjian is lying!
Or perhaps Kongjian's memories are false. This is not impossible, since Kongjian never actually met Zhou Qingfeng. Everything he knew was told to him by the Buddhist elders in his memories.
Who can be sure that the Buddhist elder was really a Buddhist elder?
Or perhaps, when Kongjian met Zhou Qingfeng as a child, some kind of method had already been left on him.
I can easily do this now, for example, burying the power of nightmares in someone's heart.
"What is a prophet?" Fang Xiu suddenly asked.
Kong Jian looked at Fang Xiu with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself, "You, a prophet, don't know what a prophet is?"
But he patiently explained, "It's similar to your ability to foresee the future. Although this ability is rare, it's not unique. However, each person who can foresee the future is different. Some can only foresee the future a few seconds from now, some can see fragments of the distant future, and some can only see the occurrence of certain major events. It's similar to the art of divination."
Fang Xiu nodded calmly, no longer dwelling on the question, and continued to ask, "What else do you know about the previous era?"
"Captain, actually I don't know much, and most of what I learned came from Buddhist elders. Most of it was trivial matters. Although I was born in the last era, I was too young to remember anything."
Oh, right, there's one more thing. After Zhou Qingfeng led the peak human experts to the other side, my Buddhist elder, before his death, used a secret method to send a message from the other side. Because of the separation between two worlds, most of the information was lost and became fragmented, but one sentence has been passed down intact.
"What did you say?"
Kongjian's expression turned slightly serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Never set foot on the other side."
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that the group of peak human experts on the other side were terrified. Just how strong was the Ghost God? Seventh rank? Eighth rank? Or ninth rank?
Although he had faced the Taotie head-on, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and he was unable to sense the other party's strength at all.
Just like an ant facing the crushing force of a human finger, no matter how much force the human uses, the ant can be easily crushed to death, to the point that the ant has no way of gauging how strong the human really is.
Fang Xiu and Taotie are examples of this.
"By the way, during the battle with the Buddhist sect, I noticed that you never used your own abilities from beginning to end, but instead relied on Buddhist methods. Why is that? Are the spirit masters of the previous era different from those of this era?"
Kong Jian nodded: "Indeed, they are quite different. In the previous era, spirit masters were actually called ghost masters, but the name doesn't really matter, they all mean the same thing. But in the previous era, spirit masters were divided into two categories: one was those with lineages, like the Taoists and Buddhas, and the other was those like you who were wild... um... self-taught."
Those like you who grow autonomously have the ability to awaken themselves based on their inner reflection, but we Buddhist spirit masters do not have this ability.
Or to be more precise, our ability is the Dharma.
Fang Xiu frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence. The ability of a Spirit Master is clearly essential, and due to differences in their minds, each person is unique. Why is it that in Buddhism, everyone's ability is Buddhist Dharma?
Why is that?
"Because the ways to become a Spirit Master are different, you are exposed to the supernatural and experience life-and-death crises, which ignites your spirituality and is the ultimate manifestation of your own mind. But those of us with a lineage ignite our spirituality through cultivation. In other words, we do not need to experience life and death, and we can absorb the supernatural aura on our own and ignite our spirituality."
As for why everyone has the same abilities, it's related to the cultivation methods.
As Kong Jian spoke, he took out an old-fashioned parchment scroll from the wardrobe in the room and handed it to Fang Xiu.
"Captain, this is the Buddhist visualization method, passed down from ancient times. It contains the visualization diagrams of the Buddha. Buddhist disciples use visualization of the Buddha to mobilize their minds, guide strange powers into their bodies, and ignite their spirituality."
Fang Xiu immediately opened the visualization diagram. On the ancient parchment was a Buddha image. The image was very ordinary and seemed to have no supernatural features. However, after staring at it for more than two seconds, he felt a strange sense of irritation and disgust.
The feeling was like when you light incense, and it's as if you hear the voices of millions of believers devoutly chanting Buddhist scriptures, which makes you feel disturbed and want to kill!
How could a portrait have such power?
He used his spirituality to investigate and found that it was just an ordinary portrait.
This was somewhat unbelievable to Fang Xiu. All the things he had encountered that defied common sense must have been blessed by spirituality or strange power behind them, but this Buddha portrait was just an ordinary portrait, made of ordinary parchment, yet it possessed a power similar to spiritual fragrance.
Perhaps the magic lies not in the portrait itself, but in... Buddha!
He put away the Buddhist visualization diagram and asked calmly, "What are the differences between the two ways to become a Spirit Master?"
Kongjian respectfully replied, "Spirit Masters like myself, who have cultivated to the point of mastery, may not awaken their own unique abilities, but they can use the Buddha's abilities, namely Buddhist Dharma. If Buddhist Dharma is used well, it can basically crush most abilities, and because of the Buddha's protection, the risk of spiritual beings going out of control is very low."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Could there really be such a cheap thing in the world?
Just by listening to Kong Jian's words, even a fool would know that a properly trained spirit master is better than a wild one. There's no need to worry about losing control of one's spirit or awakening overly useless abilities.
Having dealt with the supernatural for so long, Fang Xiu knew very well that the power of the supernatural was not something that humans could easily control; otherwise, everyone in the world would be a spirit master.
Why can a strange power that is difficult to control and can corrupt the mind be easily controlled by a properly trained spirit master?
There is only one possibility: someone is bearing the burden for them, and clearly, that person is Buddha!
The power gained through visualizing the Buddha will ultimately be limited by the Buddha.
"Tell me the cultivation method," Fang Xiu said calmly. He decided to try it himself and experience the differences between the two paths of a Spirit Master.
Kong Jian naturally wouldn't refuse Fang Xiu's request, since the Buddhist sect and the headquarters were already "one family".
However, Kongjian did not immediately impart the teachings. Instead, he reminded him, "Captain, you are already at the fourth level. If you switch to Buddhist methods now, it may be too late, and there is a risk of going into demonic possession, which means losing control of your spirituality."
In fact, he wished Fang Xiu would die soon, but he was also afraid that Fang Xiu, who was already insane, would become even more insane after his spirituality went out of control, and would directly destroy the world, so he hurriedly reminded him.
