Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei returns from Sekiro

“Holy Spirit, this is a very interesting title.

"Have you ever heard this title before, Vice Principal?"

"One-third of the people in the world have heard of this word, because it is a religious term and comes from Christianity, one of the three major religions in the world."

"Is this another name for Jesus?"

"Okay, I understand, for people who don't believe in Christianity, God and Jesus represent Christianity."

"Is not it?"

“Christianity itself is divided into many different sects, and the beliefs and doctrines of each sect are also different. Christianity in a broad sense refers to all sects that believe in Jesus Christ as the savior, including the three major sects of Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. Including some other small sects, it means Christianity in English, and Christianity in the narrow sense refers to the Protestant religion. Of course, we are not here to discuss the church now. In short, the title of the Holy Spirit comes from the Christian scriptures and the Bible."

"What does the Holy Spirit represent in the Bible?" Lu Mingfei has heard some short stories from the Bible. He knows about God's creation of the world in seven days, Noah's Ark, and the stories of Eve and Adam, but he doesn't know more about it because he doesn't believe in religion. When he was growing up, the church he had the most exposure to was probably Buddhism. He knew it from the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" that was played on TV every year. Occasionally, his uncle and aunt would take him to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense.

Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva. He can understand them when asked about them. As for Christianity, he only knows the internationally used "oh, my god!"

"Let me start with the most basic concept. In the Bible, God is a Trinity." The vice-principal drew three circles on the paper and wrote the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit under the circles.

"The Holy Spirit is called the 'Spirit of God.' Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of God. They believe that it is the Father who created the world, and he is the Creator of all things, and the Jesus you know is the Son, Jesus is the eternal God, but he came to the world to save people and was crucified on the cross for mankind’s sins. The Holy Spirit is the least noticeable God in the Bible.”

"Is there anything special about him?"

"He is the protector of mankind, guiding mankind to distinguish between good and evil in their hearts. He is also the only God who can give life and regenerate people. In the Bible, Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after his death. , to prepare heaven for mankind, and the Holy Spirit is what Jesus Christ asked Heavenly Father to send to the world before he ascended to heaven, to replace the Lord Jesus as the protector of mankind throughout his life." The vice-principal said: "You should know the myths from all over the world Legends have more or less the shadow of the dragon clan, and Nordic mythology is just the most obvious one, because most of the main gods in Nordic mythology can match the names of the kings of the dragon clan."

"So the vice-principal thinks the Bible is also related to dragons?"

"After all, Christianity is one of the three major religions in the world. The Secret Party has long studied the Christian Bible. In fact, we believe that the Bible is also inseparable from the Dragon Clan, because after careful study, we found that many things in the Bible are related to the Dragon Clan. That's right.

For example, the Bible tells about the four archangels who serve as God’s imperial attendants, Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael, who represent earth, wind, water, and fire respectively. In the dragon tribe, there are four kings, divided into three branches. Four elements.

Also, God created angels before he created man. Among them, an angel named Satan was deeply favored by God. God gave him glory and status higher than other angels, and even gave him the authority to command all angels. But Satan was not only dissatisfied, but also wanted to be on an equal footing with his creator God. He incited one-third of the angels in the sky to rebel against God. God led the angels to fight with him. In the end, Satan was expelled from heaven and fell into hell forever. If God meant black King, angel means dragon clan"

"Then Satan means the White King."

"That's right." The vice-principal nodded, "Of course, this part of the speculation is for reference only. The longer the time passes, the more things like myths and legends will be changed beyond recognition. There are also many things in the Bible that are at odds with the Dragon Clan. Even in Nordic mythology, a considerable part of the content has nothing to do with the dragon clan, at least in the history of the dragon clan that we have researched."

"However, Lu Mingfei, you must have something special." The vice-principal stared at Lu Mingfei, "King Bai calls you 'the third person of the father'. To a certain extent, I can understand it as, You have a close connection with the Black King Nighogg.”

"Vice Principal, please stop talking nonsense. I was born to my mother in ten months of pregnancy and am a pure human being. How could I be related to the Black King who we can't get along with?"

"Lu Mingfei, what do you think is the essence of dragons? Are they ferocious scales, sharp bone spurs, speech spirits that transcend physical rules, or are they far more powerful than humans?"

"I don't understand what you mean, Vice Principal." Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Then let me put it another way. Why do you think dragons can resurrect from eggs again and again?"

"Because of the soul?" Lu Mingfei touched his head: "Can their souls be reincarnated?"

"Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, casually abandoned his huge dragon body and gave birth to a human body similar to his brother Constantine. What do you think the body means to dragons?"

"If you put it this way, it feels like Norton changing his body is like changing his clothes." Lu Mingfei touched his chin and thought for a while.

"In alchemy, the spiritual level is called the divine level, and the essence of dragons is their immortal spirit. In history, the Secret Party has repeatedly killed the Dragon King who has not yet fully awakened. But no matter how many times it succeeds, the Dragon King can be resurrected from the eggs prepared in advance. The dragon race is a race of life that transcends the physical body."

"It sounds like the dragon clan is like the immortals who cultivated the Nascent Soul in immortal novels." Lu Mingfei complained.

"In a way, it's similar."

"Vice principal, do you actually know how to cultivate immortality?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised.

"When I was in the academy, I spent most of my time on the top of the clock tower. When I was bored, I would climb over the wall and go to Chinese websites to read online novels. In fact, all dragons within the third generation can be regarded as immortal dragons who have cultivated their souls, even if they have physical bodies. If it is destroyed, you can resurrect by preparing eggs. That’s why we have been wary of the resurrection of dragons. According to the history of dragons we have studied, in the age of myth, there were at least tens of millions of dragons all over the planet. , and they can’t actually be considered dead.”

"When the Black King returns, will these dragons be resurrected together?" Lu Mingfei seemed to see the outstretched wings blocking the sunlight, and the city was shrouded in shadow, with thousands of dragons passing by.

"No one knows what will happen." The vice principal said with deep eyes, "But Lu Mingfei, you may be our hope."

"Why do you miss the vice principal so much?" Lu Mingfei looked at the deep wrinkles on the vice principal's face.

"Remember what I mentioned before during the pontine surgery? The left and right brains of Minamoto no Sahara. The left brain represents Minamoto no Sahara, and the right brain represents Kazama Ruri. Although there are independent consciousness systems between the two, he is still A unified consciousness, but the pontine surgery cut off the connection between his left and right brains, causing some of his behaviors to seem like two unrelated people."

Under the bright white light, the scale of the pocket watch ticked.

"It is said in the Jade Record that the bottom is like the top, and the top is like the bottom, and in this way the miracle of the One is accomplished. The One is an existence that transcends our universe. If the ultimate goal of the Black King is really to achieve the One, then it must go through it I have a guess, Lu Mingfei, that the connection between you and the Black King is like the left and right brains being cut by pontine splitting surgery. The process of you growing up from a child to an adult is your achievement. Taiyizhong is one of the only ways to go through 'what is above is like what is below, and what is above is like what is below'."

"Under the premise that this assumption is established, you and the Black King are identical in person. This can explain why the White King calls you the 'Holy Spirit' and the 'Third Person of the Father'. It The reason I try to swallow your spirit is because by swallowing you, I will have the same opportunity as the Black King to achieve Taiyi."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hands of the pocket watch stopped with a click.

The realm surrounding the two people disappeared, and the roll of parchment burned silently, turning into embers of fire.

The vice-principal placed the pocket watch in Lu Mingfei's palm, put his index finger in front of his lips, then picked up the wine bottle and took a big sip into his mouth.

"This watch is given to you. How to use it is very simple. Open the dial and twist the spring to the end. But remember, there should be an interval of 3 days between each use, otherwise it will be just a normal pocket watch. This is Antiques are very fragile and must be carefully protected. You have to bring them over and let me oil them every three months." The vice-principal stood up and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, "Although I know you just received your marriage certificate, I I have to remind you that one time my grandfather drank and forgot to use his watch yesterday, and the whole theater heard him and his lover clapping."

"That's it. I wish you a happy wedding. When the wedding is held, I will take the time to attend. Then I will pick out some gifts for you." The vice-principal walked towards the door without looking back, drinking wine all the way.

Lu Mingfei stayed alone in the room, holding a heavy pocket watch and sighing softly.

At the door, Eriyi poked half of her head in.

Lu Mingfei suddenly blushed and put his pocket watch in his pocket.

After the vice-principal left, he and Eriki were the only two people in the room, which made him think of the story of the vice-principal's grandfather.

"What is Sakura hiding?" Eryi held up the notebook.

"Nothing, just a watch." Lu Mingfei waved his hand pretending to be indifferent, "It was a gift from the vice principal."

"I want to see."

"Look, there's nothing special about it."

"What a beautiful watch."

"This is an antique. The time is not accurate. If you want to check the time, we can just use the mobile phone. It is better to put it in the box as a collection. This watch is just for decoration at most and cannot be used."

"Pity"

"It's no pity. If you like it, we can buy another one with an accurate time elsewhere next time."

"I want to buy two, and one for Sakura."
