My brother is so cunning.

Are you asking if Wen Rui understands Buddhism?

He knows a lot, even better than the King of Understanding. When it comes to the depth of Buddhism, Fashan, who has a deep wisdom and has studied Buddhist scriptures since childhood, is far inferior to him.

There are only a few ways to gain extraordinary power in the world: becoming a demon, practicing Taoism, and learning Buddhism.

Becoming a demon and losing reason driven by desire is ruled out first. The aptitude for practicing Taoism is too poor and the progress is very slow, so it has to be abandoned.

The only way left for Wen Rui is to learn Buddhism, but unfortunately the system does not allow it. If he dares to worship Buddhism, it will immediately declare the mission of reviving Jiejiao failed, and he will be directly sent to hell and never be reborn.

After many attempts to commit suicide, Wen Rui has also encountered a small bug, that is, Buddhism can be learned and mastered, but it cannot be believed.

Perhaps some people will be curious, how can you be proficient in Buddhism without believing in Buddhism?

This is actually very easy to understand. It is caused by the defects of the origin of Buddhism. The descendants of Poxun are all over Buddhism. They are all well-dressed and have profound Buddhist knowledge. They are familiar with Buddhist scriptures and can use magical powers and spells at will, but they are all fake monks. None of them really believes in Buddhism.

The system stipulates that Wen Rui cannot betray Buddhism and join Buddhism, but it does not stipulate that he cannot practice Buddhism. One can learn from others. Buddha is Taoism, and the three religions have the same origin. The teachings of Jiejiao also allow him to intercept the essence of Buddhism for his own use.

Therefore, Wen Rui began to study the secret books of Buddhism a long time ago. Unfortunately, because he did not believe in Buddhism, he could only learn some magical powers of Buddhism by tricks, and there was no hope for him to achieve enlightenment.

As for how he obtained those secret books of Buddhism, it was also very simple. He bought them with money.

There are Yuan people in the Buddhist world. The Buddha taught his disciples in person that "Buddhist scriptures should not be sold at a low price, lest the descendants have no money to use them". So the disciples followed the Buddha's command. As long as the donors were willing to spend a large amount of gold, it would be no problem to empty the Sutra Pavilion, or even invite Bodhisattvas and Venerables to give one-on-one lectures.

The exchange rule of gold for Buddhist scriptures made it very convenient for Wen Rui to raise funds. He made mining robots to collect gold mines for refining. The Buddhist secret books exchanged for more than 100 tons of gold were several times more than what Tang Seng brought back to the Tang Dynasty.

There are many benefits to studying Buddhist scriptures. First, it greatly strengthened his mental strength, and secondly, it could alleviate the pain of hell experience.

Finally and most importantly, it gave him a deep understanding of the origin of the extraordinary power of Western religions, and understood a system of extraordinary power that is completely different from cultivating immortals.

To obtain the extraordinary power of Buddhism, you don't need spiritual roots and resources, but wisdom and enlightenment.

Wen Rui, who has the Iron Man template level 5 intelligence, is not lacking in wisdom and enlightenment. If there is no systematic restriction, it is not difficult for him to achieve the status of a cybernetic Buddha.

Although learning Buddhism without believing in it cannot achieve enlightenment, and can only be a fake monk and cannot display the real Buddhist supernatural powers, it is also beneficial to Wen Rui.

Especially when he fights against Western monks, he does not necessarily have to be stronger than the opponent to win. If the Buddhist enlightenment is higher than the opponent, there is a high probability that he can win by talking.

In addition, in terms of obtaining the blessings of heavenly merits, the more profound the Buddhist Dharma is, the more it can penetrate the merit system, and the more it can find the correct way to rob merits. Just like this time, Wen Rui secretly stole the merits that should belong to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Heavenly merits are good things. Although Wen Rui has not fully studied them, the known benefits are that they can improve luck, resist disasters, offset karma, increase wisdom, etc. If enough heavenly merits are accumulated, they can even be canonized as saints and transcend the mundane world.

The new energy plan has achieved initial results. Wen Rui is in a good mood, but he did not celebrate. After all, no one celebrated with him, and the fun was really lacking. He walked to the exit passage on one side of the hall and rushed to the next work place.

At the exit was a metal capsule that could only accommodate one person. Wen Rui got in and sat firmly and closed the hatch. The capsule slid at high speed in the pipe.

This pipe capsule system is an underground highway that Wen Rui spent a lot of effort to build. It is spread across the Lishan Mountains and has now extended thousands of miles outside the mountains.

The speed of the capsule in the segmented vacuum pipe can reach 6,500 kilometers per hour, which is 1,800 meters per second, 5.3 Mach. This speed is far higher than the speed of flying with a sword, and it is many times faster than Zhang Kui's ground walking technique.

The speed is indeed fast, but the only drawback is that it takes too much time and resources to lay it, and the station is relatively fixed, so it cannot be moved to any location at will.

Despite this, it also greatly speeds up Wen Rui's travel speed, which is why He Lingyun set off first with a sword, but arrived at Mopan Mountain later than Wen Rui who moved underground.

After returning to the Jinling Sect's test hall in the tube capsule, Wen Rui came to Luan Qingyu's laboratory and stood in front of the big jar where the little phoenix was soaking again.

Starting the 3D projection instrument, Wen Rui checked Luan Qingyu's cultivation data during this period. The data showed that she had been promoted to the high level of the Nascent Soul. The monitored vital signs were all normal, and there were no abnormal alarms.

Switching to the nanorobot spiritual power tracing mode, enlarging the image of the Dantian position, Wen Rui focused on the state of the Nascent Soul condensation.

At this time, it was no longer the picture of the initial stage of the Nascent Soul with only a pulsating light spot. It can be clearly seen from the outline that Luan Qingyu's Nascent Soul has begun to take the shape of a bird, just like a peeled hairy egg, and the bird's beak, claws, wings, and even sparse feathers can be clearly distinguished.

This is a bit novel. The Nascent Soul of the human race's Nascent Soul cultivator is in the shape of a fetus, and after cultivating into a primordial spirit, it becomes a three-inch little man. I never thought that the Nascent Soul of the demon cultivator was actually in the posture of a creature before transformation.

The cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage represent the cultivation of the Yuanshen. The physical body of the cultivators in this stage has become a boat, just a tool to cross to the other side. If the physical body is destroyed in the battle, the Yuanshen can continue to fight after leaving the body. If it is really defeated, the Yuanshen can also escape and change the physical body to make a comeback.

Of course, it is hard to say whether the new physical body is better than the original one, but the realm will not fall, and it is much better than reincarnation or re-entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Luan Qingyu has obviously transformed, and it is the highest level of perfect transformation. The difference between the Tianfeng Jade Body and the delicate body of human women is very small, and there is no trace of birds left due to incomplete transformation.

But her Yuanshen is still in the original bird form. What is the principle? Wen Rui thought seriously, and couldn't help but stare at the two headlights on Luan Qingyu's chest and fell into a puzzle.

The transformation is human but the Yuanshen is a bird. This may hide the secret of the difference in the genetic origin between the demon race and the human race.

Birds are not mammals, so why do they have two headlights after they transform into humans?

There is absolutely no functional burden, just like the appendix and coccyx, are they redundant in evolution?

Or because birds need strong chest muscles to fly, the headlights are actually a kind of mimicry, which looks soft and elastic but is actually very hard and powerful.

Driven by curiosity, Wen Rui wanted to verify it. Only by confirming it by hand can he rule out this hypothesis. This is the spirit of science, so he licked his lips and rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try.

"Brother, you have been staring at my body for a long time. Is there something wrong with my practice?"

"Uh..."

Wen Rui was startled by the call, and then he realized that he had made a request, asking Luan Qingyu not to enter a state of concentration during practice, to stay awake and adjust his breath according to the system prompts at all times.

Therefore, everything he did just now was seen by the girl in the jar.

Touching his chin awkwardly, Wen Rui said calmly: "No... no problem, I just found that your Nascent Soul form is completely different from that of human cultivators. These differences need to be studied to avoid mistakes."

"Oh!"

Luan Qingyu didn't care, agreed casually and continued to check the meridian guidance map.

During this period, Wen Rui's uninterrupted teaching of Nascent Soul cultivation has completely won her trust. Even if he lies now that he needs to touch her heart pulse to determine whether the cultivation is going smoothly, she will believe it unconditionally.

Wen Rui came to his senses and thought carefully. Isn't it enough to control the nanorobot to check the muscle fibers? The data is more detailed and accurate, and it seems that there is no need to do it directly.

The results of the nanorobot inspection came out soon. The pair of headlights turned out not to be muscle mimicry, but a pair of real ones, and they are even functional. Wen Rui couldn't help but fall into confusion again.

If it is not mimicry, is it convergent evolution to adapt to the environment?

In similar ecological environments, facing the pressure of survival, adaptive choices are made, and organs with similar appearance and functions grow.

The spiritual environment is the ecological environment where humans and monsters coexist. The spiritual energy also promotes the accelerated mutation of genes of those who "wear hair and horns, and are born from eggs and moisture".

So what kind of survival pressure does the monster face, so that it will gradually converge with the human form and transform?

A trace of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Wen Rui gradually sorted out the context. Isn't it the human race that causes the greatest survival pressure to the monsters?

In the future, when the human race rises, the monsters will decline even more, until they are almost extinct. It is said that monsters harm people, but from the perspective of the survival of the race, the human race is the natural enemy of the monsters, and they have completely occupied the ecological niche of the monsters.

Life will always find a way out. The direction of the monsters' evolution has begun to take the route of "joining if you can't beat them". There is reproductive isolation between the monsters and humans before the transformation, but the reproductive isolation no longer exists after the transformation.

This obviously sends a signal that the monsters are trying to gradually merge with the human race!

In fact, in the Xia and Shang dynasties, there were signs of racial integration from top to bottom. Dayu met Fuhao, a nine-tailed white fox, at Tushan in Qingqiu State, and the mother of Shang Tang swallowed a black bird egg and gave birth to Shang Tang.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the Conferred God War ended. Under the influence of unknown mystery, the opportunity for intermarriage and integration between the human race and the demon race was completely cut off.

The emperors of later generations were only called the Son of Heaven. They were pure-blooded humans, but they all became wild species of heaven.

If there was no Conferred God War, and the countless guardians of the Tao who accelerated the extinction of the demon race for some purpose after the war, and continued to evolve naturally, would the human and demon races eventually complete the integration and become a new race with a barbaric body, a civilized mind, and innate magical powers?

Such a mixed-blood new race is better than the pure-blooded human race in any analysis, and its prospects are broader than the pure-blooded human race, right?

Then what is the purpose of the guardians of the Tao to stigmatize and kill the demon race, and not want to see the birth of a new race?

This is exactly "Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous, not thinking and not learning is frustrated, thinking and learning at the same time is crazy", Wen Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, countless thoughts jumped in his mind, and the blood of a mad scientist awakened.

A wise man taught well: whatever the enemy opposes, we must support, whatever the enemy supports, we must oppose. Only in this way can we better protect ourselves and counterattack at the right time.

Since some people oppose the birth of a new race, Wen Rui has to do his best to give birth to a new race. Perhaps this new race will be the main force for the future Jiejiao to achieve a major counterattack!

Thinking of this, Wen Rui loudly ordered: "Jarvis, create a new folder in the project library and name it "Human Completion Project"!"
