Chapter 44: War Is Not Far Away
[Thank you for your generous reward of 'Zhang Yu Swordfish', 'Daozhong' and 'Time Changing Years', thank you! ] 】
When Xu Xingkong raised his head, Lin Xiaofeng still had an expressionless face, as if the naughty moment just now was just an illusion.
"Isn't there a verdict on this issue? You just said that the witches and demons in ancient times were stronger, doesn't that mean that the current demon hunters and demons have been weakened? Isn't this evidence of the dissipation of the primordial spirit? ”
Lin Xiaofeng shook his head slowly: "No, it's just because people's hearts have become complicated, and the environment has become complicated, and the Yuan Spirit has not decreased, but has become complicated, just like the originally clear river water is now mixed with more impurities." ”
Xu Xingkong suddenly said: "Oh, so it is much more difficult to obtain the same amount of pure water now than in ancient times?" ”
Lin Xiaofeng nodded.
Xu Xingkong was secretly happy in his heart, it turned out that strengthening the Yuan Shen was like this.
In the end, it's just a matter of gathering more primordial spirits. According to Lin Xiaofeng, it seems that no matter whether it is a person or a monster, if you want to be strong, you have to take this path.
In addition, Xu Xingkong also got a definite information, that is, there is indeed a systematic cultivation method, which is definitely different from barbaric strengthening, as for the difference between advantages and disadvantages, maybe he should ask again.
"That's not necessarily a bad thing."
Lin Xiaofeng was a little surprised this time, and a hint of different love flashed in his bright and ethereal eyes, which made Xu Xingkong feel a little surprised in his heart.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Xingkong raised his eyebrows slightly proudly and said, "In my opinion, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the modern demon hunter is stronger than the demon hunter in ancient times, the important thing is whether the demon hunter is stronger than the demon, right?" ”
Lin Xiaofeng froze slightly, and seemed to understand what Xu Xingkong wanted to say, and a trace of expression flashed on his face, which made Xu Xingkong's heart clog, and a nameless fire rose again.
"I remember you just said that Daomen has a systematic knowledge system, do demons also have it? Even if there were, if the demons' summary and accumulation of knowledge and experience were stronger than those of humans, what would we do? So, in the face of the same environmental changes, wouldn't humans with a more complete knowledge system have a competitive advantage? ”
Lin Xiaofeng tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "It's a pity, the truth is the opposite, in general, humans now have an advantage in numbers, while demons have an advantage in high-end power. ”
"This, how is this possible?"
"It's not impossible, because youkai live longer than us humans."
"Amount"
Xu Xingkong had a look of chagrin on his face, but he smiled in his heart, great, now I know everything I want to know, it turns out that monsters also have a cultivation system, although they are not as good as humans, but at least they are, but they are not as good as humans, and monsters are really the same as humans, they all need to gather Yuan Spirits to strengthen themselves.
"It's because I didn't think about it, I didn't expect that monsters will live longer than humans, you just said monsters, isn't the devil like this?"
"Haven't you watched "Legend of Demon Suppression" and "Ghost Thing Explained"?"
"Also, I haven't seen it yet, just the genuine Classic of Mountains and Seas"
"You don't have to explain, it doesn't matter to me whether you look at it or not, but since I talked about it, then I'll tell you now, the devil is a completely different thing from the monster, the monster and the human being are essentially the same, they both have the material container and the foundation of the primordial gods, but the devil is different, although the devil has a material container, but the foundation of the primordial god is indeed incomplete, as for the ghosts, even the material container is incomplete, so these two do not have a complete path of self-evolution, and their ends are the same, When it is the strongest, it will return to the original spirit, dust to dust, and earth to earth. ”
Xu Xingkong nodded suddenly: "So that's the case, no wonder Lord Yang Zhai said that the devil is more dangerous than the monster, because they have no future!" ”
Lin Xiaofeng nodded lightly, a look of emotion flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was sighing, but her words could cause a change in the feelings of this woman with facial paralysis, and Xu Xingkong was still a little proud.
Xu Xingkong saw that the atmosphere was not bad, and he hesitated a little before speaking: "Miss Lin, is this the current situation of mankind not optimistic?" ”
"It's okay, this situation on both sides has been maintained for more than a thousand years, but fortunately, it is not easy to cultivate the master of the monster, plus after fighting for such a long time, everyone's minds will change."
"Huh? You're saying youkai want to make peace? ”
Lin Xiaofeng pursed his lips and said: "It's split, like us humans, the monster is not monolithic, or even more powerful, the monster's mind is simple and straightforward, and it can even be said to be stubborn and stereotyped, as long as it is something they identify, they will go all the way to the black, so once there are different points of view within the monster, the internal struggle is even more cruel than the battle with us." ”
"So, some youkai are not colluding with humans, they should be cooperative, right?"
"Yes, it's a pity that some of us humans also cooperate with diehards, so the battle lines of the two sides are now complicated, which is why we have to deal with Lu Qianqian very carefully."
Xu Xingkong suddenly realized, and after a little thought, he could understand what the so-called intricacies would be, in which it must be you and me, I and you, and even the true and false are tangled and difficult to distinguish, with Xu Xingkong's lazy mind, he is unwilling to consider such a complex issue.
Now he seems to understand some of Lin Xiaofeng's actions in Lu Weidong's matter, and it seems that his previous speculation is a little too dark, but Xu Xingkong still insists that Yushan Yuzhai's purpose and motive in Lu Weidong's matter must not be simple.
Thinking of this, Xu Xingkong's tone subconsciously softened.
"So, do you want to win Lu Qianqian?"
"It's not you, it's us, you're one of us, aren't you?"
"Well, okay, but Lord Yang Zhai said last time that once Lu Qianqian enters the demon, it will be difficult to turn back"
"Those are two different things."
Xu Xingkong was stunned, and then blushed a little, these are indeed two different things, it turns out that the demon is not bound to the position, it is Xu Xingkong himself who takes it for granted, as for the statement that he can't turn back, it is not the position but the change of the original god.
Xu Xingkong's eyes rolled, he looked at Lin Xiaofeng with expectation, and asked eagerly: "It's me who wants to screw it, so Lu Qianqian is actually possible to cooperate with us?" ”
"Of course, that's why I called you."
Xu Xingkong was overjoyed, greatly relieved, and nodded vigorously: "Anyway, thank you." ”
Lin Xiaofeng nodded lightly, put down the drink bottle in his hand and said, "I will let the security personnel here temporarily evacuate the periphery of the road, I think Lu Qianqian should come to see her brother, then you can have a good talk with her and convey our meaning to her, I believe she is willing to believe you." ”
"Understand, I'll try my best, after all, I don't want me to be enemies with her in the future."
"Hmm."
Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction and snorted.
"By the way, if, I mean, if it goes well, what about Lu Weidong's security in the future?"
Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Xu Xingkong and said, "Are you worried that your promise to Lu Qianqian will not be fulfilled, right?" ”
Xu Xingkong laughed awkwardly, and then said with a straight face: "There is a reason, after all, I am just an ordinary person who has just left the ranks of ordinary people, even if I desperately want to protect Lu Weidong, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it, right?" ”
"Well, that's true, in fact, this matter has already been arranged, no matter what the outcome of your discussion with Lu Qianqian is, Lu Weidong will be placed under our strict protection after he is discharged from the hospital."
"Can I know how to protect it?"
"Of course, what you're going to be involved in, in fact, is that we have to think about the safety of our members and their families, including your own loved ones, of course."
Xu Xingkong was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly, is this a disguised hostage-taking? But even so, Xu Xingkong can't change anything, thinking about it from another angle, at least his relatives are only controlled by Yushan Yuzhai, and they will not be threatened by the two camps of humans and demons, which can be regarded as good news.
Xu Xingkong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then I should thank you?" ”
"No thanks, I said, it's the families of all the members, don't you want to know about the relevant protective measures?"
Xu Xingkong really didn't know what to say when he heard this, so he had to nod and say, "Well, of course I want to, please say." ”
A smile flashed in Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, and he continued: "In fact, we have divided different levels of protection areas in all cities, as long as the family members are transferred to the area with the highest security level to live, in addition, there are relevant departments and personnel who will infiltrate and interfere in the activity area of the protected object, so that they can try to change the activity area and method without being aware of it, so as to minimize the danger." ”
Lin Xiaofeng's introduction adheres to her usual style, which is quite concise, and the rest needs to be supplemented by Xu Xingkong himself, but Lin Xiaofeng's words still outline a fairly clear outline for Xu Xingkong, allowing him to see clearly the general situation of the real world composed of the constant struggle between humans and demons and monsters.
The emergence of cities has the function of defending against dangers, and it now seems that this role has not been weakened with the changes of the times, on the contrary, cities are obviously still quite important for the protection of human security.
According to Lin Xiaofeng, it can be inferred that the city is generally within the scope of human control, and the control of human beings outside the city is slightly weaker, and the vicissitudes of life for thousands of years are also the history of urban development and change, and it is also a direct embodiment of the results of the war between human beings and demons and monsters.
"What about the countryside? Isn't it very unsafe? ”
"Theoretically, yes, but because of the relationship between population density and population level, the main battlefield is not in rural areas, and we are not trying to achieve urbanization."
"Huh? That's what happened."
Xu Xingkong suddenly felt that under the seemingly perfect and reasonable laws of social and economic development, there was such a more important reason that really affected the development of the world pattern and reality.
Of course, Xu Xingkong, who realized for the first time that the war was actually around him, would inevitably feel a little panicked in his heart.
"However, the process of urbanization has also complicated the war between humans and demons, and demons are also trying to infiltrate the city, and at the same time, the war that breaks out in the city is also more likely to harm the innocent.
Lin Xiaofeng added an additional sentence, waking up Xu Xingkong, who was a little distracted, and he felt that Lin Xiaofeng's indifferent tone seemed to have a slight sense of powerlessness, which made Xu Xingkong slightly surprised, and he didn't expect that this extremely proud witch would have a helpless time.
