Chapter 18 Ambition
"Dragon Jun?" Hearing this name, Zhao Ting's heart moved slightly, and his left hand shrunk in his sleeve couldn't help but hold the dragon tooth that had saved his life.
Originally, he still had reservations about the authenticity of this "dragon tooth", but now listening to Zhao Tai's words, Zhao Ting couldn't help but be in awe.
From this point of view, the dragon tooth in his hand is really the legacy left by the dragon monarch who saved the land of Yunzhou.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ting asked tentatively, "Xiao Tai, I heard you say that in order to end the great drought in Yunzhou, the Spirit Clan sent out many clansmen. ”
"Could it be that the reason why the world we live in seems to be unstable on the surface, and there are no large-scale disasters in various states and counties, is because the spirit race is protecting the human race?"
Zhao Tai glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This can't be regarded as protection, you can understand it as an equivalent exchange! The Dawu Dynasty dedicated all the rare fruits and cultivation resources collected from various states and counties to the Spirit Clan, in exchange for the garrison of the Spirit Clan. ”
"There are seventy-two counties under the rule of the dynasty, and each county has a spiritual officer. And the spirit officer is the spirit clan who guards the land of this county. ”
Zhao Ting nodded thoughtfully and asked, "In the land of a county, there will only be one spirit officer?"
"That's right," Zhao Tai affirmed, "the people of the Spirit Clan have a difficult bloodline to reproduce, and there are few people in the clan, so it is extremely difficult to ensure that there is a Spirit Officer in a county. ”
"And, as far as I know, some remote states and counties, or even states share a spirit officer. ”
"After all, the duty of the spirit officer is to deal with all kinds of ominous people every day, the people of the spirit clan, seemingly majestic, transcendent, can control the spiritual power derived from the bloodline against the enemy, but if you encounter an ominous person whose ability is too weird, or a demon spirit that is higher than his own level, he still has to die, and it is a miserable death. ”
"To put it bluntly, this is a high-risk official position, many remote states and counties, often the incumbent spirit officials have not reached their term of office, and they have disappeared, maybe they have been eaten by demons, or they have been killed by spirits. ”
"This is also something that can't be helped, the greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility!"
Zhao Ting's heart was also a little heavy when he heard this, he didn't expect that in the first year of Dawu, which seemed to be a peaceful and prosperous era, the situation of the human race had reached such a difficult point.
"The land of a county is thousands of miles away, and the small one is thousands of miles. Can a single spirit officer manage so many strange things that happen every day in the territory?" Zhao Ting raised his head and asked.
Zhao Tai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can you manage it? In this world, demons are unscrupulous, and powerful ghosts are rampant! Take our Xiling County as an example, there are dozens of murders that occur every day because of "unknown", to mention that there are dozens of murders that occur every day, if you take care of them one by one, even if you exhaust the spirit official to death, you can't manage it!"
"Generally speaking, only when a relatively serious disaster occurs within the jurisdiction of the county seat or county seat, caused by unknown causes, the spiritual officials will deal with it. As for the county seats, those small villages and cottages outside the county seat, they are not under the jurisdiction of the spirit officer. ”
“......”
Although Zhao Tai did not say it explicitly, Zhao Ting understood the cruelty in Zhao Tai's words.
Outside the county seat, even if the ordinary people in these villages are dead, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to them, let alone avenge them.
Is it cruel?
Cruel!
Zhao Ting was angry in his heart and was very angry, but he didn't know where to vent, and even he didn't know who to blame!
Are the Strange Spirits apathetic?
Is it too weak to blame humans?
Or are the monsters and demons too cruel? Treat humans like pigs in captivity?
After being silent for a while, Zhao Tingcai asked Zhao Tai again: "Earlier, you said that even the Spirit Clan of the God Refining Realm is not an opponent of the fifth-level "unknown", so in the past, how did the people of the Spirit Clan deal with the fifth-level "unknown"? It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the Dawu Dynasty, so it is impossible that there has only been a fifth-level "unknown" incident in Yunzhou, right?"
"In this Yunzhou "drought" incident, there are dragon monarchs in the Qilian Mountains who are willing to sacrifice their bodies to save the human race, but what about next time? Will we have another dragon monarch next time?"
Zhao Tai pursed his lips and said with an unusually heavy face: "There is only one solution to the fifth-level "ominous" incidents that have been experienced in the past. That is, take human lives to fill in! When the fifth-level "unknown" has killed enough, and he is happy to kill, he will naturally take the initiative to retreat. ”
"Level 5 "unknown" is rare, and their intelligence is only higher than that of humans, and they will not kill people for no reason, either because of the killing power required to break through the realm, or because of reproduction. ”
"After all, they also know that if they kill all the humans at once, what will they kill next? They must always leave some seeds for the humans so that they can reproduce and breed more humans, so that their blood and food will continue to flow and last for a long time. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Tai paused for a moment, and then said: "But there are exceptions, some fifth-level "unknown" will occasionally kill red eyes. Just like the south of our Wu country, after crossing the Qilian Mountains, there was originally a small country attached to our Wu country, called Nanyue State, with developed domestic shipping and peaceful people. ”
It's a pity that later, a fifth-level "unknown" appeared in the Wuli River in their country, a huge body with a crocodile head and a snake body, this brutal and terrifying kraken, in order to advance, the "spirit" and killing power needed to break through the realm, summoned a wave storm as high as 100 zhang in one breath, and the land of Nanyue was hit by this terrible wind and wave to fall apart, and sank to the bottom of the sea forever. ”
"Wherever the blue and white waves went, the sea swirled wildly, and the three magnificent palaces built by the King of Nanyue, as well as all the innocent creatures of the Nanyue Kingdom, were all drowned at the bottom of the sea, and none of them escaped!"
Since then, the territory of the South Vietnamese State has become a sea, which is now the Canghai Sea. On the sea, until today, there is still the legend of the sea dragon king "Naga". ”
Zhao Ting was holding his breath, but now he suddenly heard this story, and he was suddenly even more touched by the tragic situation of the human race.
"Haita Ma Le Gebi, and the "Sea Dragon King"?" Zhao Ting scolded, "He's just a man-eating monster,." ”
Zhao Tai frowned solemnly: "Big brother, be cautious!" Every known fifth-level "unknown" has unpredictable abilities of ghosts and gods, and disrespect for them may lead to disaster!"
“......”
Zhao Ting glanced at his younger brother a little speechlessly, he really didn't know what to say.
People are "unknown" and raise us as pigs, and you still want me to respect it?
However, Zhao Ting can also understand Zhao Tai's thoughts.
After all, he is a native of this world, and he is also a spiritual cultivator who knows the horror of "ominous", and it is precisely because he deeply knows how terrifying the fifth-level "ominous" is that he is afraid of the fifth-level "ominous" like a tiger and respects it.
Even, the awe produced a hint of servility.
He can be in awe of the "ominous", and he can naturally and reasonably regard humans as "ominous" blood food, but Zhao Ting can't do it.
Because Zhao Ting is a person in his bones, he is a person from Shui Lanxing, a person of the Chinese nation.
This nation, from ancient times to the present, has no tradition of being slaves.
The sky is broken, and the Chinese people refine the stone themselves to make up for it.
When the flood came, he dug the canal himself and dredged it without asking the prophet.
Diseases and pestilences are rampant, and they do not seek miracles, but try their own medicine and cure themselves.
If you drown in the East China Sea, you will fill in the East China Sea, and if you are exposed to the sun, you will shoot the sun down!
Anyway, in a word, it's all over the job.
This is the tradition of the Chinese people for 5,000 years, and the education that Zhao Ting has received over the years is also like this.
And now you say, let me be the meat pig of the demons, and let me be the blood food of the ghosts?
Hehe.
......
After being silent for a moment, Zhao Ting's expression slowly calmed down, he looked at Zhao Tai with a smile, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Tai, in the past, I searched for "unknown" and studied "unknown" to see if I could get the same weird and strange power as them from them. ”
In the future, I will also study "unknown", but the purpose is to find a way out for myself and find a chance for the Terrans to turn over. ”
"You said that there is no cultivation method in this world, so I created a cultivation method. You say that there is no cultivation system suitable for mortals in this world, then I will open up a cultivation system!"
"I'm going to turn everything under the stars upside down. ”
"I'm going to make the spirits bow down and become leeks of the human race. I want the demons to bow their heads and be willing to be the pigs of the human race. ”
“......”
As if shocked by Zhao Ting's ambition, Zhao Tai was silent for a long time.
After a while, he said softly: "The research is unknown, I am afraid it will cause disaster to the house!"
Zhao Ting said without hesitation: "Tomorrow I will move out of the mansion and find a place outside the city where no one lives." That is, it is pure, and it can not affect others. ”
"Brother, what are you...... Why is this so painful?" Zhao Tai lowered his head and sighed, his voice was faintly inaudible, with a hint of trembling, "The contact between the mortal body and the "ominous" is dangerous and unpredictable. ”
"If so...... What if you never come back?"
Zhao Ting raised his head and smiled: "Then, don't come back." ”
With that, he turned around and walked out of the plum garden, humming a song on his lips, his steps were brisk, and his clothes were fluttering.
