Chapter 476: Shame and Courage
The life in the hidden door made Qin Ruo slowly realize that it was a little different from the world, or even completely different, which was especially obvious in today's occasion.
That's the attitude towards foreigners.
In the secular world of China, ordinary people are more or less afraid of foreigners, and they are always afraid of it, perhaps this is the consequence of modern times, although as the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, people's self-confidence is returning, but it still needs a long process.
However, in the sect, although no one has specifically talked about foreigners, it is obvious that they can feel disdain for them.
Today, the expressions of these uncles and ancestors are very clear: for foreigners, they are not accustomed to problems at all.
"Alright, let's wait until we move out, and we'll ask for an explanation." The uncle of Bixiao Palace still had no intention of giving up.
Qin Ruo looked at He Xilin, who was panting and hurried over, and whispered: "Who is this senior uncle, such a big spirit, it really suits my taste." β
He Xilin didn't know what was going on: "This is our third-generation uncle, He Wenfeng." Am I late? Let Uncle Shi clean it up? β
Qin Ruo gestured to the situation in the field with his eyes: "You have seen it all, it's just that our Qingxinguan Yuanqin Master Uncle Ancestor took out a sword to scare them back, and he didn't really fight." β
He Xilin gritted his teeth: "Damn, these turtle grandsons just don't clean up." It seems that our generation of Huaxia should also work hard to let them know that Huaxia is not unmanned. β
He Xilin actually said in such a tone, which made Qin Ruo a little surprised, but then he understood.
He Xilin is different from him, he grew up in the sect since he was a child, how can he have a good impression of foreign cultivators?
Again, it's not at all.
Look at a few uncles and ancestors, who have already led people back, passing by a few high-ranking Qingxinguan and Bixiao Palace disciples around them, but they are obviously scolding, obviously resentful of this fight is not very serious, and the bigger resentment is that they are very angry: Nanao, they actually dare to show their teeth at us!
Compared to other established regions, how many years is South Australia old? Their cultivators are also from other places, and they can be regarded as latecomers. In front of the Huaxia Sect, it's really not enough to see.
Qin Ruo felt as if he was in a different country and nation, and he was in a trance for a while, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at He Xilin: "It seems that our sect doesn't care too much about foreign affairs?" β
He Xilin smiled and said with a big grin: "If it weren't for the rules that didn't allow us to participate in worldly things, how could the tragedy of a hundred years ago happen?" It's a pity that this rule restricts us, and we can't help it. β
Qin Ruo looked at him even more confusedly: "No, since the sect didn't interfere in such a big matter a hundred years ago, but now it cooperates with the worldly officials, isn't this ......?"
He Xilin shook his head: "This time, that time." At the beginning, the strength of science and technology was backward, and you know very well that the development of science and technology to the present, the real great development is a matter of the past 100 years. It's also that we were too careless, those people came to negotiate with us at the beginning, and the worldly people didn't participate in the affairs. We also agreed, who knew that their vision was better than ours, and they actually saw that the power of science and technology had caught up. But then again, our Huaxia sect has stood for thousands of years, and the understanding of science and technology is only available for a hundred years, and some of the elders who are in charge of the matter, it is too normal for them not to go out of the mountain for a hundred years, how can they know about the outside world? β
"The great changes that have taken place in the outside world, although the juniors have seen some, they will not disturb the elders lightly, and the result is a big mistake. In addition, the relationship between the various sects at that time was not harmonious, and they were all busy sorting out the country, so how could they have the time to scruple to go abroad. When it happened, it was too late. β
Qin Ruo was a little speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, he could only smile bitterly: The world of cultivators is certainly magical, but many times it is also set in stone, and even a hundred years or hundreds of years have not changed much.
The reaction to the outside world is also slower......
"If it weren't for the recent decades, seeing the development of technology so amazing, we wouldn't have opened the mountain door to the world." He Xilin continued, but there was a bit of a sigh in his voice.
Qin Ruo nodded: "Then you mean that the original agreement - whether there is such a thing I don't know - has been invalidated?" β
He Xilin nodded: "It turns out that there is no agreement, just a verbal agreement made by everyone to meet." But now, nearly a hundred years later, the original verbal agreement is naturally over. β
"How did it come to terms in the first place?" Qin Ruo couldn't help but ask.
He Xilin blushed a little, looked around and saw that no one was approaching, so he walked a few steps away, and whispered: "Shame, when someone came from outside, they said that the children of the world were making trouble, so the sect should not care." You know that we have been inherited for thousands of years, and outsiders have not treated us well. But who would have thought that this time it would be such a catastrophe? Even in the eyes of the older generation, this is nothing, just nirvana rebirth. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the end of the Tang Dynasty, the end of the Song Dynasty, and the end of the Ming Dynasty, wasn't it almost extinction, or even worse? It's just that they didn't expect that under the progress of science and technology, especially the rapid dissemination of information, our backbone has been interrupted. I didn't expect that the Huaxia inheritance would be lost so much. β
"Because of such confidence, where would the sect think that a few foreign barbarians could pose any threat to us?" He Xilin sighed and said.
Qin Ruo suddenly understood: the Central Empire...... This concept is not only common people in China who existed a hundred years ago, but also in the sect. regarded foreign countries as barbarians, and never disdained them, but they didn't expect that people were advancing by leaps and bounds, and they already had the power to destroy Huaxia.
sighed: "Fortunately, it didn't get out of control." β
He Xilin nodded and said, "Fortunately, I held on." Otherwise, in fact, if it really can't hold out in the end, the sect will definitely take action. Moreover, at that time, the various sects also discussed whether to interfere with the worldly affairs, but the masters of the various sects gathered, and after divination, a few divination masters who were quite good found that this was an ending of blessing and misfortune: if it was a move, I am afraid that the Chinese secular world would rely more on the sect and disdain science and technology in the future. After all, it is impossible for the whole people to cultivate. Moreover, even if it is the cultivation of the whole people, in the end, if it is not good, it will have to return to the use of technology. In the end, the result is nirvana rebirth. Therefore, the sect can only endure it. After all, if the original agreement was broken and caused by a group of cultivators around the world to attack it, Huaxia would not be able to withstand it. β
"But it's different now, now...... Hehe, although our Huaxia sect is not unified, the relationship between various foreign countries is not very good, although the sect is known as cultivation without borders, fart without borders! In fact, it means that the previous foreign alliances have completely dispersed, and the strongest ones are only on the European side, the African side, and the American side. Even so, there are constant contradictions within them, and the original agreement has long been abolished. He Xilin laughed.
Qin Ruo was a little surprised: "The strongest seems to be different from the world?" β
He Xilin almost laughed: "Of course it's different, the sect world is still different from the mundane world after all." For example, the strongest rice country, how many years have they been founded? Even if there are cultivators, even if they are all extremely talented people, what can they do if they have been cultivating until now? At best, it is just to reach the Cheng dΓΉ of the master and the ancestor, and as for the comparison with the Taishang elders of various sects...... Or don't compare. What's more, you also know the path of cultivation very well, how easy is it? β
"I'm talking about the Americas, but I'm talking about South America, and some sects are still quite strong. As for North America, the Indoans still have two brushes, but they have been suppressed for a hundred years, and the people in the church over there are not a good thing. On the European side, you should be able to understand that many myths are not groundless. The same is true in Africa. He Xilin said slowly.
Although this seems to be some very ordinary things, but for Qin Ruo, it is a big eye-opener, he also knew before that foreign countries must be such a sect, but he really doesn't know how it is. After entering the Pure Heart Concept, I was busy cultivating and doing things, and I didn't have time to deal with this aspect of things. And no one from the various sects will have nothing to say this. For Qin Ruo, this knowledge is relatively blank, and now it can be regarded as a little catch-up.
"But don't go abroad. We are similar to the military elite of the world, and the destructive power is even greater. The movement of a small army in the world will cause concern in neighboring countries, let alone our actions? Once you move, the local cultivator forces will definitely act immediately. This is also a rule, when it is really necessary, to leave one's own territory and go to another territory, and it is necessary to be accompanied by a local cultivator. It's the same whether it's us or they are. However, such a thing rarely happens, after all, there is still a big difference between cultivators and the world. He Xilin continued.
Qin Ruo listened carefully, and when he arrived here, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Isn't that that almost isolated from us?" β
"In addition to the trading conference once every five years, which is actually a part of trading, mutual understanding is also very important and can be regarded as the most important communication window. Outside of this trading conference, there are really very few opportunities to contact each other. Also, even if it's a trading conference, there are very few people who can actually participate, such as me, I haven't attended once. Those who can participate are also two generations higher than my uncle. He Xilin obviously had some regrets.
Qin Ruo's eyes couldn't help but light up a little when he heard the trading conference: Although Huaxia is rich in products, there must be a lot of good things abroad.
He Xilin saw his eyes and rolled his eyes: "Don't dream, the trading conference, since this is the nature, it is quite important to show force, and you don't even have ideas until the Jindan period." β
Qin Ruo smiled and said, "Uncle Shi always needs someone to serve tea and pour water, right?" β
