Chapter 260: Do what you can
Cultivation is a chore, and no matter what you cultivate, it is not easy! "Cultivating immortals" means enduring boredom that ordinary people can hardly bear, and meditating and practicing qi in an impermeable cave for thousands of eight hundred years is like a snap of a finger. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Cultivating demons", to experience the mind, accept the aura in the blood, not only to have a proud heaven and earth to give up who else the spirit, but also to be fierce and cruel, dare others dare not do, do others dare not do, do others dare not do, the heart and body domineering can enter the devil, during the period of ups and downs can not be expressed in words.
"Cultivating the gods" means refining the body, allowing the power of heaven and earth in the palm of the fist, waving the hand is the law, lifting the leg is the origin, moving mountains and reclamation can be done with just a few simple actions, but how much hardship does it take to move the mountain and lift it?
The matter of You Hao's return, except for You Lan and the other three daughters, no one else knows, as for whether he sent a message to Li Liang, it is also unknown, anyway, Xu Shan, who accompanies Li Liang every day, has never seen him, whether in the dead of night, the two whispered in the shade of the tree, then it is not the seventh level old Wang Ba knows.
However, on the second day of You Hao's return, You Xiang and You Jia were Yurong Feixia, who visited Li Liang once in a shy and charming manner, sent a number of various condolences, and stayed in the guest room of the "Experimental Field" for one night. It's just that Li Liang is too shy, although Xu Shan's kind words persuade him and urge him hard, he still failed to conform to the principles of heaven, which really made Xu Shan sigh for a long time.
Since then, the place where Li Liang lives has become a forbidden place, but all the people of the "peasant clan" are not allowed to enter without permission, otherwise the nine clans will be beheaded and will not show mercy! And the people in charge of the "peasant clan" have also been replaced by the two ladies of "Xiangzun" and "Jiazun", and their terrifying hegemonic rule is no worse than the former, and in just over a hundred years, a free, equal, and peaceful primitive tribe has turned into a hierarchical iron-fisted empire.
Today's "peasant clan" has resumed the standard mode of demon domination, strength first, cultivation first, whoever is more ruthless can occupy more resources, and whoever is more fierce can get a large number of medicinal herbs and mineral veins, and the various families who originally defected to Li Liang have all become the forces that occupy one side, cultivating wasteland, digging mountains and looking for minerals, and coexisting on this distant overseas island.
Those days that had shared hardships with Li Liang, although they would still be praised by the elders of the tribes, but the new generations had left them behind, symbolizing friendly inter-tribal exchanges, with the mixing of interests such as medicinal herbs, mineral veins, and magic weapons, it also became a ruthless fight, hatred quietly arose between various frictions, and in recent years, there have been several large-scale fights between tribes, and the fall and death have become more and more frequent.
Where there is bad, there is good, and where there are dead and wounded, there is rise. A hundred years is not a long time, it is not a short time, under the rule of the two ladies, the number and strength of "immortal cultivators" and "demon cultivators" have increased significantly, if compared with the period of the Demon Beast War, the thousand-fold increase is still a conservative number, after all, for all tribes, to support some cultivation geniuses to thrive, its value is not only as simple as keeping the industry, but also contains the continuation of incense and the inheritance of bloodline.
As the initiator of all this, Li Liang has never left the "experimental field" for more than 100 years, and even Xu Shan is unwilling to accompany him for a hundred years.
One is the environment. Li Liang is a very self-aware person, with an ordinary IQ, so-so ability, ordinary appearance, the spirit of a king, the appearance of an emperor, and the power of an immortal, but he has nothing to do with him, with a little chance and luck given by others, he wants to overthrow the feudal dynasty that has been established for tens of millions of years and create a capitalist or socialist country, which is tantamount to a fantasy.
TV novels will always deduce, after a certain traveler went to ancient times or a different world in the New Territories, with advanced modern concepts, profound cultural knowledge, dazzling literary and artistic talents, etc., fabulously worked hard to take off, and became an emperor, a prince, or a rich man in a few years, or even more than ten years, the earth-shattering experience, what he said and did resounded throughout the world, I dare not say that it is omnipotent, and it is by no means human, but in reality it is not the case.
To put it simply, the traverser is like an outsider, no matter how capable he is, no matter how charismatic he is, he is always an outsider. In modern society, a small county town will be excluded and bullied in every possible way when a college student from other places is recruited, how can a capable traveler be spared?
After all, for those people in ancient times or in the New Territories in another world, it is inexplicable to mix in with a master who grabs a golden job bowl, and if they don't clean it up quickly, it is really a lack of heart! Moreover, they were only one family five hundred years ago, even if the people in ancient times or the New Territories in another world have no knowledge, no culture, simple folk customs, and treat people sincerely, they will not let an outsider take charge of their own family, right?
If the traverser doesn't reveal his identity, it's okay, wearing someone else's skin, doing his own thing, as long as he is not too out of line, does not attract too many people's attention, gets a little money, cheats a chick, mixes a petty official, and can barely fool the past, but if it is unfortunate to dream at night and talk nonsense and leak the secret, the outcome can be imagined.
As for those cattle people who copy literature and practice martial arts, borrow poems and words, and propagate the essence of modern ideology and history and culture with great fanfare, they can't even think about it, and they certainly can't exist! Russia is not a cow, and the old socialist country, under the corrosive influence of many capitalist ideas, is not about to disintegrate, and how can a traveler whose light surpasses the sun not arouse people's jealousy?
Even if he is super charismatic and can infect some people around him, but compared with the foundation of several generations, or even dozens of generations, what are those two halves? Like Li Liang now, they have all begun to send blood, and they have only reached 10,000 people.
Therefore, in the process of dealing with others, Li Liang only pays attention to making friends, never takes power, only gives favors to others intentionally or unintentionally, never deliberately makes enemies with others, but just keeps giving and paying, and never asks for it. Slowly, the people around him accepted him, and after many good deeds were passed on to ten, ten, and hundred, the identity of the outsider was officially legalized as if it was voted on by the villagers' meeting.
Of course, on the surface, the expected goal has been achieved, and if there is a conflict of interest in the future, it is unknown whether Li Liang's identity will be found out.
In view of this, Li Liang resolutely withdrew from the circle of power and interest struggle, guarded the hundred acres of fertile land, accompanied by medicine, grain, wine, and Xu Shan, who sighed all day long, or alchemy, or refining, or making talismans, or arranging arrays, or tinkering with some small things, sweating in the fields when he was busy with farming, facing the loess with his back to the sky, although it was boring and monotonous, he was also at ease, at least he did not have to worry about the disaster of killing because of jealousy.
The second is the concept. Whether it is the ancient people or the people of the New Realm, they all have a relatively fixed way of life, although they also have a certain curiosity about new things, but they are far more than countless times the inexplicable mixing of big aliens, that is not to say that they can accept it, they can accept it!
Let's take a simple example. There is an old saying that "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great", which means that in filial piety, the worst thing to do is to fail to let the bloodline of the clan continue, and the "after" does not refer to children, but refers to sons who can inherit the surname. It can be seen from this that the focus of ancient people on filial piety is not the "often go home to see" and "accompany the old man around" as advocated by modern people.
In ancient times when transportation was not developed, a certain benevolent brother, ten years of hard study, once he was successful, went thousands of miles, became a county order, and then married a wife and concubine to have children to pass on the ancestry, entered the office for decades, and the official position continued to rise, suddenly one day received a letter from home, saying that his parents had passed away and hoped that he would return to his hometown, and he was already a twilight old man with white temples, and hurriedly asked the emperor for leave, howled and cried, and went home to keep filial piety for three years, and the emperor read his filial piety is good, and he sent things, and let the historian record it, and finally gave a big plaque, and sealed a nickname or something.
Aside from the great achievements of Brother Ren's career, throughout his life, he married several wives and concubines, gave birth to dozens of children and grandchildren, and successfully completed the first "no queen" issue of filial piety. And because of what level he has done as an official, what rank he has received, what rewards he has received, and what benefits he has gained, he has left a huge family wealth and benefits to his descendants and clans, and the second issue of filial piety "Guangzong" can be easily solved. Brother Ren waited until a few months after the death of his father and mother, or even several years, to take leave to return to his hometown to guard filial piety, so that the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military pity and emotion, directly wrote a biography by the historian, passed on to future generations, and even took the ancestors to record it together, and the third "Yaozu" issue of filial piety also achieved the goal.
Brother Ren was raised by his father and mother, and he has been living outside since the middle lift, and there is no telephone transmission, no video transmission, and he writes two letters to his home, greetings, it is estimated that he is still written and sent at the beginning of the year, and the second elder of the family received at the end of the year, saying that he is a top filial son, does anyone believe it?
There are many stories like this in ancient times, and most of them were recorded by the great philosophers of Confucianism, because they were loyal to the country and the emperor, and gave up filial piety to their parents, and the ruling class got the greatest benefits, so they vigorously praised their "glorious deeds". Relatively, the hard-working masses such as agriculture and industry and commerce, without the experience of the official, can only wait by the side of the two people, take good care of it is a matter of course, and if it is not a fire on the ancestral grave, then don't expect to leave a name in history.
Comparing the two situations, it is easy to find that there is still a layer of rulers between loyalty and filial piety, the official is the head of the loyalty, and the people are the first filial piety, and the same people are people with two eyes and one mouth, but they are two different treatments, in the final analysis, it is just the imprisonment of the concept. Without specialization and distinction, how can people embody nobility and poverty, greatness and ordinariness?
On the other hand, people have established a well-hierarched, standardized, and well-functioning ruling regime for thousands of years, and how big a wave can a clown who has crossed over from a beam jumper, no matter how great his ability and ability are, how big a wave can he make?
If you are not convinced, you can try it on the spot. North Korea is not far away, and it also practices feudal management that pretends to be socialist, and Comrade Kim Xiaopang has only been in power for a few years, which is very similar to the environment set by many time-traveling TV novels, and you can experience it for yourself if you have the ability. However, if you are accidentally caught, there is still something to advise!
As for emancipating the minds of the masses and mobilizing the vast numbers of poor and middle peasants to fight against the landlords, the gentry, and the imperial power, on the one hand, it requires considerable eloquence and knowledge, and it is impossible for non-great men to succeed; on the other hand, if you really emancipate the minds of the masses, it will be a matter of whether people will follow you or not!
The emancipation of the mind in modern society is good, but what are the results? The post-70s generation pays attention to earning from hard work, while the post-80s generation becomes more rewarded with less work, and after the 90s, they basically get more for nothing. Don't forget that advanced concepts not only make people smart, but also make people learn how to be smart!
Li Liang has no ability of a great man, no talent of a saint, and no inheritance of the legend of the great god of the universe.
So, occupy a little resources, immerse yourself in hard work, plant fields, cultivate immortals, tinker with some wine and food, refine some pills, cast a few magic weapons, study and study formations, don't make trouble for others, don't add hard work to yourself, be plain, and do what you can. What's more, there is also a sycophant master Xu Shan by his side, who bragged in his spare time, talked about the mountain, drank and drank together, and enjoyed it under the moon.
But speaking of which, Xu Shan, the old king, is really bearable. Although he complained constantly, was full of resentment, and glared at Li Liang at every turn, but no one cared about him for a hundred years, and the old guy really survived! Especially in recent decades, the old guy fell in love with planting flowers and grass, whenever the weather turned cloudy, he worked tirelessly to move a pot of flowers and plants to the house, and then moved out after the rain, with the increase in the number of flowers and plants, this back and forth will be nearly 100 times, which makes Li Liang sigh.
On this day, Xu Shan squatted intently in front of a pot of "moon orchids" and carefully wiped the leaves for it. I saw that he looked at the flowers and plants without blinking with his two eyes, one hand gently holding a young leaf under the blooming flowers, and the other hand tightly holding a clean white cloth, sweeping the mud and dust on the leaves one by one, and sometimes closing his breath and gently tapping twice to the root of the young leaf. According to the flower and plant planting method taught by Li Liang, the leaves must maintain a certain degree of cleanliness, which is conducive to their photosynthesis.
"Wowhaha...... ,, Lao Tzu finally untied it!" Suddenly there was a hearty laughter in the room, which frightened Xu Shan to be clever, and couldn't help but pull off the tender leaf with a slight force in his hand.
Seeing this, Xu Shan's face was full of anger, he glanced at the room fiercely, looked at the young leaves in his hands with pity, and took a few deep breaths, then gently put the young leaves back into the flower pot, and picked up a little soil with his fingers to cover it.
As soon as he finished doing this, he saw Li Liang burst out as if he was burning his buttocks, and shouted loudly with excitement on his face: "Lao Xu, Lao Xu, I have finally solved the formula! Wowhaha, I am really a genius, a genius Wow! Such an awesome theory can be done, and it is no problem to evaluate a Xiuxian professor!"
"You hurt my flower!" Xu Shan's face was gloomy, he slowly raised his eyelids, and said hoarsely.
"Ah********h
"What did you do after you deduced the formula?"
"Run out and tell you! What's wrong?"
"Hmph, you want to be a scoundrel, don't you? What did you do between the time you deduced the formula and the time you ran out?"
"Well, it's like shouting. However, I remember that I haven't practiced sonic skills, so why did I hurt your flowers?"
"You haven't cultivated, but your shouting scared me! So, so, hey, my poor flower!"
"Uh, the flower can't be resurrected after death, let's mourn!"
"Fart, you're dead! You shouted that so scared me to pull off a leaf of it!"
"Isn't it? Pull off a leaf, and make such a big fire with me? I said you're sick, right?"
"You're sick! Hmph, you told me to do what you can, do what you want to do, and don't make a mess, I listened to you, and that's exactly what you did, but you're good! I said I wanted to concentrate on cultivation, but you said that you were bored alone, so you dragged me to chat and drink with you, and as a result, I wasted a hundred years of my time in vain. I said that I want to sacrifice and refine magic weapons, and you say that those magic weapons are not good, it is better to refine them after a good one, and as a result, a hundred years have passed, the spiritual power of the natal magic weapon has been halved, and the new magic weapon has not yet been seen. I said that I wanted to specialize in alchemy, but you had to say that your alchemy machines were sharp weapons against the sky, and as a result, the refined pills made me diarrhea for three years. I said that I want to comprehend the formation, so you have to join me in the formation, but it only took me 20 years to comprehend the formation experience of Luo's predecessors, and you only saw a third of it in 100 years!
"Well, if you say that, it seems, like, maybe I'm sick......"
"By the way, you've solved that formula, right?"
"Ahh ”
"Then we can open the furnace and forge it, right?"
"Well, it doesn't seem to work yet. ”
"Huh? Why?"
"Because, because, because I was nervous, I forgot about the derivation process!"
