Chapter 385 Confusing the real with the fake
After seeing Sha Youcheng off, someone else came to visit.

Zhou Tieyi looked at the second person who came to visit, Tian's father's apprentice Mo Jian.

At this time, Mo Jian's modest face was filled with an irrepressible smile, "Lord Zhou, Mr. Gongshu has already made arrangements. At the same time, the "Human Needs Newspaper" hosted by me and the "Organization Newspaper" hosted by Gongshu have been vigorously promoting the excellence and success of the "Mingyue System" in the past few days. Whether it is the people of Mo City or Machinery City, they have already believed that the Mingyue System is the key to solving the Moshi disease. We can start to promote the next step of the Mingyue Dream Experiment."

The Mingyue System's publication in newspapers was approved by the Emperor of Daxia, so the local newspapers in the two places did not need to go through the review of Daxia Newspaper Bureau when publishing it.

In fact, although the court of Daxia has already determined that the Newspaper Bureau has the power to supervise newspapers all over the world, in reality, the newly established Newspaper Bureau can only supervise the newspapers of the hundreds of newspapers in Tianjing at most.

At the local level, Zhou Tieyi promoted the management of local newspapers in Shantong Prefecture, Mo City, and Jiguan City. Naturally, the hundreds of schools of thought also found a loophole, which was to quickly promote local newspapers before the entire system of the Newspaper Bureau was established and had the ability to supervise newspapers all over the world, so as to gain the right to speak first.

Anyway, even if this matter is brought to the court, it is not that we are unwilling to cooperate with the review, but the newly established newspaper department cannot handle it. However, opening up the channels for speech is also an order of the court. If one of the two orders is not enforceable, then the other one will be unimpeded.

This is how a lot of political chaos between the central and local governments unfolds. The central government’s supervisory power cannot reach the local level for the time being, so the local level is able to use the central government’s power to correct the situation.

It’s very efficient, Zhou Tieyi sighed silently in his heart, but this is a good thing for him.

He thought for a moment, asked Bai Mei to prepare paper and pen, then wrote a short letter with pen and paper and handed it to Mo Jian, "I would also like to trouble Mo Tiangong to go to Tianjing and bring this letter to Hu Wenlang, the editor-in-chief of Tianjing Newspaper in Tianjing. He will help complete the second step."

Although Zhou Tieyi only allowed Tian's father and Gongshu Ting to participate in the creation of the moon phase system, through the details and some explanations from the teacher, Mo Jian also guessed the key to the second step of the bright moon entering the dream.

The fourth level of novelist is "entering the truth".

The core point of Zhou Tieyi's Mingyue System is to use the changes in the phases of the moon to treat mental illnesses caused by disorders of essence, energy and spirit.

The treatment of mental illness, or even a large number of diseases, is related to the patient's degree of belief.

That's the placebo effect.

Even placebos can not only work on mental illnesses, but can also have a physical effect through mental reactions.

Zhou Tieyi's Mingyue system is indeed a semi-finished product, but it is endorsed by the Tianjing News, the Human Resources News, and the Official News, and the top first- and second-grade people in Daxia have participated in the experiment and certification. Zhou Tieyi said in the newspaper that it is useful, so the people who read the newspaper will most likely believe that it is useful. If it is useless, why would so many of the world's smartest people work on it?

The people believe that the Mingyue System can cure Moshi's mental illness, which is in itself a powerful placebo. Combined with the novelist's method of "entering the truth", the false is confused with the real, and the false is true. Even if the Mingyue System itself has only 60% efficacy, it can exert 90% efficacy in the spiritual realm, and even 10% may be fed back to the body to curb the pathological changes of the essence to the body.

Mo Jian hesitated for a moment about Zhou Tieyi's search for Hu Wenlang. He said, "This matter concerns the people. It would be more appropriate to find the third-rank novelist."

Zhou Tieyi glanced at Mo Jian. Even though it was the same thing, everyone had their own calculations. He thought for a moment and said, "Hu Wenlang is the most talented novelist I've ever seen in the method of entering the truth. If he's not good enough, it won't be too late to find another third-grade novelist."

Zhou Tieyi was indeed very confident in Hu Wenlang. With the help of the secret treasure Tingchao Tower, Hu Wenlang temporarily increased his strength to the fourth level. With the cooperation of Mo Fei, he was even able to restrict Hong Shigui, a third-level novelist. This was enough to illustrate the abilities of Hu Wenlang and Mo Fei.

He himself is a fifth-rank "Manifested Saint" and has been in charge of the "Tianjing Daily", Daxia's top mouthpiece, for nearly half a year. If he still cannot "enter the truth", then it is Hu Wenlang's ability that is problematic.

After all, the core of the method of entering the truth is to make people believe that the false is true. The more people believe, the faster the practice will naturally be. For the Tianjing Daily, an official newspaper facing 20 million people, and even the people of the world, this was too easy before there was any supervision.

Moreover, from the information Hao Ren fed back to him, Hu Wenlang has reunited with his brother and started to lay out the plans for the God-Slaying Department and the Newspaper Department. This means that although Hu Wenlang did not enter his own core of power, he has once again entered his brother's core of power.

This is also the reason why Zhou Tieyi failed to subdue Hu Wenlang. Their Zhou family has one open and one hidden chess piece. On the open side, he has successfully attracted the attention of the world. He needs to prepare a set of hidden chess pieces. He cannot master all of this set of hidden chess pieces himself. He has to leave it to Zhou Tiege to master so that when there is a problem on his side, the other side can also play a role.

Zhou Tieyi insisted on asking Hu Wenlang to complete the method of entering the truth. Mo Jian thought about it and knew that he could not stop Zhou Tieyi in this matter, so he cupped his hands and said, "I'll do it right away."

After Mo Jian got up and left, Li Jianhu walked in hesitantly.

Zhou Tieyi glanced at Li Jianhu and asked, "Someone is inviting you to a banquet?"

Li Jianhu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Marquis Zhou guessed it."

Zhou Tieyi saw the wind and rain outside, "The wind and rain invite people, with ulterior motives. If you want to go, go. You are not my slave. You are just following me to see the world in my eyes. The path you choose is always your own."

Li Jianhu gritted his teeth and said, "I won't tell them anything about you."

Half a year ago, he would never have thought that he would be invited to any literary gathering.

But in the past six months, his identity has already changed. He has awakened his righteous spirit and entered the seventh level of swordsmanship. It seems that he has embarked on a path to success. He is also the core figure in the Mo Shi case and a true seed recognized by Confucianism. It is normal for the literary society to invite him.

It's just that the teacher and Mr. Cui were planning to open a workers' academy in Shantong Prefecture, so they couldn't give him any guidance on this matter. He was very hesitant about whether participating in the Confucian literary meeting would be considered a betrayal of Zhou Tieyi.

Zhou Tieyi sneered, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, "How do you know that what you told the Confucianists is not what I want to say? Go ahead, answer whatever they ask. They are playing a chess game with me, so why should they embarrass you, a small pawn?"

······
Tianjing God-Slaying Division.

Hu Wenlang, who was reading official documents, felt something in his heart and looked up towards the door. The sunset light gathered to form the figure of a tall young man in simple clothes.

"I'm sorry for the intrusion of visiting you in this way."

Mo Jian saw Hu Wenlang and spoke.

Hu Wenlang said to the clerks working on his left and right, "Take care of your own business first and come back later. Everything just now was normal."

As he uttered the three words "this is normal", the three clerks beside him became dazed. The image of Mo Jian appearing in the sunset glow just now turned from real to fake, like an afternoon dream that was forgotten as soon as it passed.

After the three clerks left, Mo Jian smiled and said, "Originally, I was skeptical when Lord Zhou said you had the ability to complete the second step, but now it seems that you are indeed capable." Hu Wenlang's use of his dream ability just now was not outstanding, but it was as simple as eating and drinking, so simple that he could only detect slight mental fluctuations. This showed that the minds of the three clerks who had already entered the imperial examination were under Hu Wenlang's control at all times. He would remember whatever Hu Wenlang wanted them to remember and forget whatever he wanted them to forget.

What they saw and heard was what Hu Wenlang wanted them to see and hear, but this was the world they believed to be real.

There is nothing better than a novelist's attempt to make the false seem real.

Mo Jian pointed out his origins in his second sentence.

"What do you want, Lord Zhou?"

Hu Wenlang stood up, and Mo Jian handed the text message written by Zhou Tieyi to Hu Wenlang.

Hu Wenlang unfolded the letter and read it. The meaning of the letter was very simple. It was to ask him to go to the Mechanical City and help complete the method of Mingyue Entering Dreams. This was of great benefit to Hu Wenlang, so he looked up in surprise and asked, "When are you going?"

Mo Jian replied, "Of course the sooner the better. Do you need to prepare?"

Hu Wenlang thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing to prepare. The Newspaper Department is very strict with Tianjing Newspaper right now, and Mei Juncang holds the power tightly within the Supervisory Office. There's nothing for me to do."

He took out a novel and blew into it. The ink characters on it gathered together and eventually became a person who looked exactly like him. Not only was his appearance and demeanor exactly the same, but his behavior habits and logic were also exactly the same, at least the same as recorded. When necessary, Hu Wenlang could even take over this body made of ink characters through dreams and remotely control it.

"Okay."

After Hu Wenlang finished, Mo Jian put his arm around Hu Wenlang's shoulder. The next moment, the two of them turned into a ray of light in the setting sun and headed from Tianjing to Mocheng.

When they were several hundred miles around Mo City, the sunset glow faded and the sky became completely dark. Hu Wenlang clearly felt that the two of them had turned into wind and rain and were heading towards Mo City. Their speed had slowed down a lot, but it was still faster than Fei Peng and the like.

When the two of them were completely still and appeared in Mo City, Hu Wenlang first recalled the method of movement just now, and asked with a little curiosity, "Ren Xia?"

This was obviously the method used by a big shot of the Mohist school, even though it was his first time experiencing it. Generally speaking, for the Mohist school, the fastest way to travel was by Fei Peng.

Mo Jian smiled softly, "Combining physics and Renxia, ​​with the help of Tianzhi, can also achieve an effect similar to Xiaoyaoyou."

After Mo Jian's explanation, Hu Wenlang roughly understood it, and at the same time he also realized the flaws of this method. This method should only be able to choose the most powerful forces in an area to imitate, and then use the will of heaven to unify the differences between things and myself, so it can be transformed into sunset rays, or it can be transformed into wind and rain.

"Let's go see the giant first."

Mo Jian suggested and Hu Wenlang nodded in agreement. A second-rank figure was willing to run errands for Zhou Tieyi. Either this second-rank figure had some plans, or Zhou Tieyi had become one of the core members of the Mohist School.

Of course, judging from the current situation, both reasons may exist, but they differ in severity.

At the Mohist Academy, Hu Wenlang met the Mohist leader Tian Fu. It was also the first time for him to meet a great figure like Tian Fu, at least it was the first time in this life.

He tried his best to restrain his messy thoughts and avoid letting Tian's father know his secret. Although according to rumors, Tian's father was not the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's thoughts, Hu Wenlang did this every day, so naturally he was worried that others would do the same.

After meeting Tian's father, Mo Jian said, "Teacher, Zhou Hou ordered Editor Hu to come and help us complete the method of Mingyue into the dream."

Mo Jian looked at Hu Wenlang. Hu Wenlang took out the text message given by Zhou Tieyi and handed it to Tian's father to prove his identity.

Father Tian took the message, read it, raised his head and smiled, "He is really resolute and decisive."

Hu Wenlang nodded. He didn't find it strange about Tian's father's evaluation. Zhou Tieyi had always been so decisive.

Father Tian just made a comment and then took Hu Wenlang to the central office.

In the huge mechanical room, Gongshu Ting stayed here for almost twelve hours a day. Eight moon phases, bright or dark, rotated with each other, forming an extremely unified circle, interpreting various changes in celestial phenomena, which benefited Gongshu Ting, a second-rank official, a lot.

But what Gongshu Ting cared about most was what Zhou Tieyi said about the bright moon being able to absorb the light of the sun. Although it felt like covering one's ears and stealing a bell, from the moment Zhou Tieyi knew about this, it was only known to the three of them and was not spread outside, because the political significance of the bright moon and the sun were different after all.

The creation of the moon by Mohist school, Gongshujia and Zhou Tieyi can be considered an auspicious sign and a blessing from Great Xia. However, if the three of them could create the sun, that would be another kind of political statement. As the saying goes, there can be no two suns in the sky and no two masters in a country. It is inevitable that this would make the people below them have wild thoughts.

When Gongshu Ting saw Tian's father bringing people in, he frowned at first.

Because at the beginning of the moon-making, only he, Tian's father, and Zhou Tieyi were involved in this matter. On the one hand, it was because the matter was of great importance and other people could not be trusted. On the other hand, it was difficult to balance the relationship between the three parties. Therefore, even Tian's father's apprentice Mo Jian was just a person who did the work and did not actually participate in the construction.

Because Mohism added one person, Gongshujia didn't know whether he wanted to add more people or not. What should he do if Gongshujia wanted to add more people? This would only lead to more and more idle people and leak the real secret of the moon phase system.

Father Tian was the first to explain, "Zhou Tieyi asked him to come here for the experiment of the method of entering the dream with the bright moon."

Gongshu Ting frowned subconsciously, because he still had some things not fully prepared. Zhou Tieyi left Mo City yesterday, September 13th, and today is September 14th.

Father Tian thought for a moment and replied, "Not too fast. The success rate of the experiment of the moon entering dreams is the highest during a full moon. With his personality, he certainly can't wait until the next full moon. The current situation doesn't allow him to wait another full moon."

Hearing Tian's father's explanation, Gongshu Ting nodded, indicating his agreement with the first reason. However, when he heard that Zhou Tieyi could not delay for another full month, he asked, "Did you hear any information?"

This time Tian's father did not answer.
