Chapter 142 The Foundation of Civilization (Two in One)
The road of Pixiu is simple to say. It means that you are going all the way to the dark side on the road to making money. It can also be said that you are on the edge of a dead end. Only in this way can you talk about pursuing the ultimate road.
After returning from Wugo Mountain, Wu Sheng felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. He was inspired by Guiguzi and Pixiu. Whether it was "removing the bad and retaining the good" or "pursuing the ultimate", he deeply felt that the pursuit of the great road must "
"Metamorphosis", working hard in a persistent, stubborn, and arrogant state, and finally reaching the sublimation from quantitative change to qualitative change.
The same is true for the avenue he pursues. The solidification of the world of heaven, earth, heaven and earth was originally thought to be the contradiction between the true spiritual power and scientific theorems. It will end in no solution, or the contradiction will lead to subversion - such as the obsession he just experienced before, two people.
The two cannot be reconciled, or a scientific and objective world will be formed where there is no possibility of the existence of any Taoism, making it impossible to practice.
Wu Sheng needs to make a choice: to reconcile, or to choose one of the paths to keep going? It used to be a big problem, but it is no longer a problem now: follow the scientific theorem.
Since the initial threshold of practice is led by the moire patterns representing scientific theorems, then let's take the path of scientific theorems to the extreme and see what happens?
Will science be the end of the road?
Wu Sheng thinks that he has no scientific mind. If an apple falls on his head, he will just consider himself unlucky and move his butt to get a tree. He will never think about why the apple falls and expect him to study science.
, and then push scientific research to the extreme, which is absolutely impossible.
So you still have to rely on others.
I don’t have a scientific research mind, so I create a scientific research environment to ensure that people engaged in scientific research can continue to make scientific research progress, and take this path on behalf of Wu Sheng.
The villagers of Langshan planted the seeds of scientific research unintentionally. Fortunately, they have not wasted their time in the past few decades.
According to Wu Sheng's observation, the scientific research and development of Langshan villagers and weapons have entered the firearms age. Generally speaking, it is equivalent to the early stage of the firearms age. A few projects are ahead of the curve, such as repeaters, gunpowder cans, etc., especially iron armor.
Puppet is more advanced. But this was stimulated by the needs of the war. Most of the other projects are lagging behind. For example, in transportation vehicles, there has been no better progress so far. They are still pig-pulled chariots.
Not to mention other people's livelihood projects, compared with firearms, they are two hundred years behind.
But at least the seeds have been sown. Since these more than 800 people cannot use Taoism and cannot sense spiritual power, they can only learn scientific theorems and use science to enhance Langshan's defense. In this world full of monsters and beasts,
survive better.
In order to take the path of science to the dark side, the biggest problem that needs to be solved is actually a human problem.
Population is the foundation of civilization, especially the foundation of scientific civilization. The number of Langshan Yangshen is too small. More than 800 people can barely continue the seeds of civilization. We expect them to innovate and develop the various scientific systems they lack.
It is completely impossible to enrich things and lay a solid foundation in science.
As for waiting for them to slowly reproduce, it is currently difficult because there are too few female sun gods among them, and several female sun gods in high-level positions, such as Jiang Ying, simply do not marry. This has been twenty years.
Already, there are only over twenty local newborns in Langshan through natural breeding, half of them are the children of Fairy Su Gai, so she can definitely be called a "heroic mother".
The only advantage is that these Yang gods generally live longer. In Wu Sheng's world of heaven, earth, heaven and earth, they can be said to live as long as heaven. As long as Wu Sheng lives well, they will not die.
The solution is actually very simple, which is to introduce a large number of people from the Spring and Autumn Period. In the past, the method of introducing the population has always been to capture the Yang God and release it through the Yang God.
The world of heaven, earth, heaven and earth is Wu Sheng's world of spiritual consciousness. Living people in the Spring and Autumn Period cannot enter. Only after cultivating Yang Shen's practice of refining the void and detaching the Hedao soldiers can they enter through Yang Shen. The same principle also applies to monsters.
Either he searched for them in the realms of immortals and gods in the past, or Wu Sheng relied on "alchemy" to refine the birds, animals, flowers, plants and trees of the Spring and Autumn Period into the world of heaven and earth.
So how many qualified potential "Yang gods" were there in the Spring and Autumn Period?
Regarding this, the academy has already made statistics. There are 212 Hedao immortals and 897 Lianxu masters. The ratio of Hedao and Lianxu is relatively high. That’s because Wu Sheng opened up 60
The four Star Mansion Cave Heavens have admitted a large number of people who have transferred to Hedao. The total adds up to a thousand people. Therefore, it is obviously impossible to increase the population by a large amount in the past way, so we need to find another way.
As for going to the other world to rob the Yang God, that is even more impossible. Firstly, Wu Sheng will immediately transform from a righteous god into a terrifying demon king, and will be boycotted by all the thirty-three people - including the Spring and Autumn Period. Secondly, even if he robs like this, it will not be possible.
Still can't get much. Compared with the population needed for the outbreak of civilization, it's just a drop in the bucket.
How to get ordinary people into the world of heaven and earth? What Wu Sheng faced was an extremely difficult problem.
For this reason, he jumped repeatedly between the Spring and Autumn World and the World of Heaven and Earth, but he still couldn't get the point until one day in July.
On this day, Wu Sheng was strolling in the courtyard of Longhu Hall, thinking hard about how to get people into the world of heaven and earth. When he was unable to figure it out, he saw Zhong Liying coming in and saying: "Grand Master, Uncle Yong wants to see you."
Uncle Yong was one of Wu Sheng's "Seven Disciples" in his early years. He was the first to follow him in Shangyong. Now he is a senior cultivator in the realm of refining gods. He is a scholar in the land of Wuyue, which can be regarded as a prominent position.
Guangzong Yaozu has passed away. But based on Wu Sheng’s judgment, Uncle Yong’s cultivation path has come to an end at this point.
With Wu Sheng's current status, it would be difficult for ordinary Void Refining cultivators to meet him, let alone a senior Refining God. Uncle Yong was an exception, and was immediately introduced into the Dragon and Tiger Hall.
Wu Sheng was immediately stunned when he saw what Uncle Yong was wearing: "What's going on?"
Uncle Yong knelt down and cried loudly: "My lord, my father has passed away!"
Uncle Yong's father was his strong supporter back then, and he often cheered for him when he was ascending to Yong. Afterwards, he established the Mangdang Mountain fiefdom, and Uncle Yong was among the first to defect to him. As the leader of the First Armor, he will
The Mangdang Mountain fiefdom was well established and prospered.
Thinking about the past, it was more than thirty years ago. Yongjia was already old at that time. His death more than thirty years later was actually not unexpected.
Wu Sheng was stunned for a long time and asked: "Dad, live a long life?"
Uncle Yong cried: "Ninety-six."
Wu Sheng sighed: "It's time to celebrate and mourn. Don't be sad. It's time to celebrate and mourn."
For ordinary people without cultivation, it is considered a long life to live over sixty. Under the care of Uncle Yong, a senior alchemist, Yongjia lived to be ninety-six years old. This is a proper longevity.
Longevity.
Uncle Yong wiped away his tears and said, "The Lord is right. My family is planning to bury the deceased seven days later. I don't want to ask for anything else. I just want to ask the Lord to give my father a word so that my father can have a good time when he is buried."
Wu Sheng stepped out and walked out: "Zhongli, follow me to pay homage to Chief Yongjia!"
Yangzhou Lumingze, the manor where Wu Sheng settled his family, has now become the most prominent manor in Yangzhou. Two of the mansions are the Yong family, the east side is Yong Zhi's mansion, and the west side is Uncle Yong's house.
's house.
When Wu Sheng arrived, it was the third day since the death of Chief Yongjia. There were people coming and going, all coming to offer condolences and worship. The Yangzhou government even dispatched a team of government officials to come to maintain it, which highlighted the importance of the Yong family in Yangzhou.
status.
Over the years, Wu Sheng's image has long overlapped with that of King Yu. The world has long been familiar with it when worshiping him, and it can be said that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As soon as he appeared, everyone was stunned. When Uncle Yong followed closely behind him, when his name was called,
They even fell to their knees.
Wu Sheng went straight into the lobby, looked at the coffin in the hall, and the tablets in the mourning hall. He sighed softly, took the incense handed over by Uncle Yong, and inserted it into the incense burner.
"Get pen and ink!"
Immediately someone brought a white satin pen and ink. Wu Sheng picked up the pen and couldn't think of a good word for a while. After all, Yongjia Chang's life was too ordinary. After pondering for a moment, he simply stopped thinking about it. Writing is not the purpose, the purpose is to be mediocre in one sentence.
The family is safe from generation to generation.
So he simply said: "I will do my best and die."
There was a sudden burst of crying in the courtyard.
After Wu Sheng finished writing, he threw away his pen and met with Yong's family one by one. He gave kind words to comfort Yongjia's wife: "Old madam, people cannot be resurrected after death, so stop being sad! If you keep crying and your body is broken, Yongjia knows who is under the Changquan.
I won’t feel at ease.”
After comforting him, Wu Sheng said goodbye and took Zhong Liying away in the clouds.
In the courtyard below me, my guests sang loudly: "The soul is gone, let's go back!"
Teacher Yong burst into tears during the chant, fell to the ground, and bid farewell to Wu Sheng.
Returning to Longhu Hall, seeing that Wu Sheng was still in a daze, Zhong Liying comforted him: "There is no need to be sad as a bachelor. The Yong family will be honored by the bachelor, and they will be rich and worry-free for a hundred years."
Wu Sheng nodded, but he was a little absent-minded. Instead, he thought repeatedly about the line he sang when presiding over the funeral to greet the guests before leaving.
Soul, go back!
After thinking for a moment, Wu Sheng immediately stood up and left the Tianmen of Mount Tai.
The Nantian Gate has been standing in the void for more than half a year, but no one has set up a card to register and check, and it still allows the gods and gods to enter and exit freely.
Wu Sheng looked for the Beiyin Shitian Gate and plunged in. After entering, he originally wanted to go straight to Luofeng Mountain. After walking not far, he suddenly patted his forehead and thought to himself that he was really stupid.
Emperor Fengdu didn't deal with him at all and went directly to ask questions. It was strange that he was willing to take care of him.
After flying in the dark sky of Beiyinshi for a while, he hesitated when he saw a ghost town appearing below. Looking at it, he saw two words written on the top of the city - Taoqiu.
Taoqiu Ghost City? Isn't this the place where Luo Lingfu, Dugu Taiyue and others exposed Yongcheng's World Spiritual Eye for stealing eucalyptus? There is a ghost king in the city, Li'a, who broke the law because of stealing the spiritual eye.
Wu Sheng lowered his head and looked above for a moment, and found the high-rise building Luo Lingfu mentioned and the deserted garden next to the high-rise building. I wonder if Li A is still here after being punished? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case.
Just move away.
Wu Sheng landed directly in front of the largest tomb in the middle of the deserted garden. He looked at it for a moment and saw that the stone tablet was decaying in an instant due to the transformation of the Tai Chi ball.
With 1,500 colorful stones, this tomb-protecting array is very ordinary.
Stepping forward, the breeze blew by, and the stone tablet turned into dust and flew away in the wind, as if it had never existed.
Entering along the tomb passage, there are lit torches stuck on the stone walls on both sides to guide the way forward.
The more than ten feet long tomb passage was quickly completed, and a stone hall appeared in front of him. In the center was a cold stone seat, standing on a three-step stone foundation.
The Northern Yin world has clear levels. The throne of the ordinary Hedao ghost king is only on the third level, and the ghost king on the next level is the fifth level. Only the ghost emperors of the five directions, east, west, south, north, and middle, who are top-notch immortals and great gods, can erect their thrones above the seventh level.
As for the ninth-level foundation, only Emperor Fengdu can sit on it. If anyone messes around without opening his eyes, he will disappear in the blink of an eye. At this point, Emperor Fengdu is absolutely incompetent.
The third-level throne in front of me obviously belongs to Li A, but Li A is nowhere to be seen.
Dozens of long-bright lamps were lit around the hall, emitting a faint blue cold light, which was very scary. In this sparse cold light, there were three more tomb passages, each of which was dark and lightless.
Wu Sheng sensed carefully for a moment, and then he noticed a faint fluctuation of mana, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly - these ghost guys are really good at concealing their aura, and with their own ability, they almost missed it.
Continuing from the tomb passage on the far right, it was dark and lightless, but for Wu Sheng, although he could not see clearly with the naked eye, his aura induction was no problem, and the scenery reflected back by his consciousness was no different from the daytime.
More than ten feet ahead from here, there is another tomb. In the passageway in front of the tomb, there is also a small magic circle. Although this magic circle is small in size, its spiritual sense is extremely bright, and it is obviously very powerful.
Wu Sheng didn't care about the power of this magic circle. To him, it was just a piece of meat transformed from the Tai Chi ball, nothing more than fat or thin. He paused for a moment, stopped in front of the passage, and received 2,800 colorful stones.
Stepping forward again, after three steps, another piece of dust was scattered, and then it was blown away by the breeze, and not a single particle of dust was seen.
There was a double-layered coffin parked in the center of the tomb, and the trace of mana fluctuation that Wu Sheng sensed was within it.
After looking around, he called an offering table against the wall of the tomb over, waved his sleeves and dusted off the soil. Wu Sheng sat down and said softly: "Li'a?"
After a moment of silence, the coffin was opened, and a majestic body sat up from the coffin, covered with broken armor, making the sound of rustling armor leaves.
It's Lia.
Li A stared at Wu Sheng and asked, "Who...are you?" There was an unstoppable tremor in his voice.
Wu Sheng stretched out his finger and tapped the empty space in front of him: "Come out and talk."
Li A took a deep breath, awkwardly crawled out of the coffin, and stood in front of Wu Sheng, but her back was pressed against the coffin and she did not dare to take half a step forward.
Wu Shengwen said: "Don't be nervous, let's chat casually. As for who I am, you don't need to ask more, it won't do you any good if you ask... That's it, I have something I don't understand, and I'm here to ask for advice."
After leaving Amo for a moment, he said with difficulty: "Please speak."
Wu Sheng asked: "How many ghosts are there in the Beiyin world? Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions? Or more? Well, no matter how many there are, in short, there are so many ghosts, it is impossible that they are all native. I just want to know
