"Zuo Lin, think about it carefully, why do I have to rush to get money when I don't do anything? Sun Digui said with a smile.

Zuo Lin pondered for a moment and said, "What we want to defend is not a person or a land, or even a country, but the whole world. It may be arrogant, but it's our responsibility. However, in the current situation, we cannot do things outside the basic rules of this world. To take down one after another rainforest, forest, mountain, wetland from someone else, you have to prove that we have the ability and the control. However, gaining this control does not make our financial and material resources unsustainable. Not only does it take money, but it also requires a lot of money. We probably can't afford to buy the world, but at least we can, within the limits of our control, prove a way of life, a way of life in which man can live in peace with nature and achieve a better life without destroying the world. And to do all this, at least in the short term, it will take a lot of money. ”

Sun Digui smiled appreciatively, immediately put on a serious face, and said, "It's true, but it's not quite. What we're going to do is too big, too big for others to imagine. This in turn involves the contradiction in the understanding of the Druid Council that I told you: whether man is out of the realm of nature, and whether he can be regarded as one of the species in nature like lions, tigers, rats, and cockroaches. Although we are willing to classify ourselves as a species in nature, most of us actually put ourselves in opposition to nature. Conquer the natural ...... For many years, it has been such a slogan. Disasters, flash floods, deserts, dust storms, and even hurricanes, etc., are sometimes nature's revenge on man's endless demands on nature for so many years, even if this revenge is so pathetic. …… Confrontation and coexistence are sometimes just a matter of posture. For example, many environmentalists now say that they would rather be naked than wear fur. …… All right. I'll admit that the pictures taken by those beautiful models are really beautiful, but does it really work? It seems that all druids like fur, right? At the beginning of the year, I was in the mountains, and I felt comfortable watching Xue Xue wearing that polar bear skin jacket. That's the difference in attitudes towards nature. Put yourself at one link in the food chain. Although you need to get something from everything in this world, at least you are not greedy. It's not to make people pure-hearted, it's just that it's not good to find a middle way between personal pursuit and enjoyment and natural ecology that everyone can accept?"

After thinking about it, Zuo Lin said, "Actually, most people are content. But now those who are not content have more powerful power. ”

"Maybe that's the case, in fact, people's ** is very complicated. How do you know that these people won't do these things when they have the ability to get more? But when it comes to human complexity, people still have compassion, love, and all kinds of positive emotions. In fact, we all understand that these emotions are also born from the instinct of being living beings, just like how many birds and beasts in the field will rush to death in order to protect their homes and protect their children. In order to leave room for their own kind, lemmings commit suicide in groups once a few years...... And human emotions, after all, are complex and sublimated. If everyone in this world could understand the world a little more, and have a little more compassion, even if nature itself does not need this kind of mercy, do you think the situation will be any better? When one out of 10,000 people throw away a piece of paper and add an extra leather outfit to their closet, one in 10,000 people can change because of remorse, even if it is small, and this is how the world gradually changes. That's how the world works. ”

"We have the ability to save the dying land, as long as we can own it, and we have the ability to keep nature hanging under the knife of merchants and factory owners, as long as we can own it...... However, we cannot own the land of the whole world. But who can deny that this is our world?" Sun Digui was serious but a little longing, "Perhaps, we really started late. The Watchmen must be far ahead of us, and although we haven't heard from them for many years, they won't give up their faith as long as they're alive. There are a lot of rules in this world, and it's not easy to do one thing, so I'm just trying to do the same thing in a more gentle way. Therefore, adequate funding and a large network of contacts are essential. As for what you are talking about...... Rules. Sometimes, there is no need to be so stubborn, there are many stubborn people, and when our plan is rolled out, involving the interests of others, God knows what means our opponents will use. Rather than fighting back passively at the right time, it's better to be the first to do it at the right time. …… Do you think you have confidence in this kind of thing?"

Zuo Lin was silent for a while, and said, "If you concentrate on cultivation for a while, I don't dare to say that you are completely sure, but it is indeed like what the teacher said, and it is true that no one can hurt me." But ......"

Sun Digui smiled and said, "You are a lion, the leader of the beasts. Can you gather these forces that are scattered outside? Let these people be able to act with you at any time, instead of being like now, when there is something going on, you often have to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and you can't find the right person. ”

Only then did Zuo Lin fully comprehend what Sun Digui meant: "Teacher, you mean to form a combat unit of the Druid Council?"

Sun Digui nodded and said, "I talked to Bernard, and he is also very dissatisfied with the current situation, but he lacks knowledge and experience in this area. Originally, the most suitable person to do this was Insula, who had a lot of experience in commanding special forces. Otherwise, he would not have become the chief instructor of wilderness survival training for all special forces in the United States. However, Insula recommended you. He is now, after all, the commander of the CDC's anti-bioterrorist special forces, a position that is quite important. And Insula also said that he will give you all the notes and tutorials, and you can ask him any questions at any time. We're much late, but there's still time for you to grow and mature. ”

Sun Digui didn't exaggerate Zuo Lin's ability, but he didn't feel that Zuo Lin's cultivation progress was slow. The practice of the power of nature is somewhat similar to the Zen Buddhist saying: clear mind. Mentality and temperament largely determine the height of a person's cultivation. At the same time, it also determines the personal temperament that a person can express with the same force of nature. What can a person like Zuo Lin, who doesn't like to be noticeable and always peaceful and modest, make great progress by leaps and bounds, at most, with the mastery of some skills, there is a great improvement in the performance of ability, and the accumulation of the power of nature is almost completely and slowly and steadily accumulated in normal times. For example, Yan Yingxue and Jin Xiaohua are much more cheerful and enthusiastic in personality, and it is normal for their vigorous energy growth in the past few years since the beginning of their cultivation. However, Zuo Lin's character, this foundation, coupled with the cultivation methods of this department, can guarantee a super long lifespan, coupled with Zuo Lin's continuous efforts. It will allow Zuo Lin to accumulate and use the power of nature, and to understand this power system, and will eventually reach a fairly high height.

"I, on the other hand, will form the finance and public affairs department of the Parliament. On the one hand, I'm going to synthesize the abilities that the druids would be able to use in the conventional world and package them into advanced biotechnology to get a lot of money and other resources. On the one hand, our research requires a lot of funding, and the various environmental projects that have been carried out in various places also need a lot of financial support. In addition, it is also to be able to support the operation of this public affairs department. In my vision, this public ministry would include a powerful advocacy machine, an authoritative environmental assessment institute, and a research system that would gather information and feedback from around the world. Of course, we don't show up as a druid, replacing it with an environmentalist, a biologist, an environmental scientist, and so on. We can use propaganda to influence ordinary people, put pressure on projects that seriously harm the ecology in various ways, organize lobbies to participate in relevant legislation, and so on...... Actually, I've found that there are a lot of things that can be exploited now. Sometimes I have to work with people who I hate, but at least I don't have to be more annoying than I was 100 years ago. Sun Digui said.

"Teacher, these things are too complicated, aren't they? And once they unfold, it's hard to predict the consequences. Zuo Lin was a little worried.

Sun Digui shook his head slightly and said, "Of course it's not spread out all at once. It's about doing as much power as you want, and doing as much as you want. Your apprentice spent a little money, not a lot, to do such an excellent job of protecting the small animals in the city. Now that we have more power in our hands, we should start a little higher than that. In the first and second years, because it involves the integration of forces within the Druid Council, it may be mainly a run-in period, and there will be no major moves. But once we've gathered our strength, imagine what we can bring to the world?"

Sun Digui showed enthusiasm and vitality that was completely inconsistent with his age, as if he was going to burst out the energy and vitality accumulated over the decades in the short few years he was looking forward to. Zuo Lin liked Sun Digui's repeated use of the phrase "our world", and what they wanted to do was to defend their homeland.

"Teacher, since you've planned everything, where do we start?" Zuo Lin was driven by Sun Digui's enthusiasm, and his heart warmed up a little.

"It's already started. Sun Digui said with a smile, "Let's wait for Yan'er's wedding to be finished." There's a lot to be agreed with Bernard, and I'm going to Ireland once to find a way to get Sophocles up. "I'm still wondering if I'll have my headquarters in Shanghai or Hong Kong. There's been so much going on lately. ”

"I'm idle," Zuo Lin lamented, "At least this is the benefit of not playing, and I have a lot more freedom in time." ”

Sun Digui was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I hope that you, as well as Murray, and other guys who are already somewhat well-known will stay in the current field. A well-known person, the power to speak is different. But, for you, you should be able to do more valuable things with the same amount of time. Whether it's necessary to keep playing is up to you. I'm not a fan anyway, so I don't have any psychological burden on this. ”
