Chapter 369 (Past Memories 1)
The ruins of the Wizards' Federation are located in a small cave not far from here.
Hearing this, Sarabuk couldn't help but look at Xie Tianchou suspiciously: "Strange! It's not like your style! When did you become so generous? Tell me, what the hell are you conspiring with. ”
Looking at Sara Burke's suspicious look, Xie Tianchou sighed and said helplessly: "To be honest, I am currently working on a research project, and I need the cooperation of a higher-level wind magician, I think your apprentice is very suitable, how about it, even help me!" ”
"Oh, I see. I don't know what this research project is. Wind mages are used! If it comes to military secrets, then I didn't ask. Sarabuk said with a smile.
"Alas! Actually, this is not a military secret, but in recent years our country has been plagued by damn smog. And the best weapon to deal with this kind of smog is actually strong winds. In fact, you also know that what we in the Eastern Cultivation Realm have always focused on is personal combat power, and the technique of calling the wind and rain is only based on folklore. But this kind of thing is easy for you magicians. So our goal was to create a magical device that could create a gale, and that's how simple it was. Xie Tianchou said helplessly.
Listening to Tianchou's explanation, Sarabuk suddenly realized: "Oh, this is easy to do. As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred kilograms of pure gold, why is this number not high!" ”
"Two hundred kilograms of pure gold! I think you might as well grab it, you have to know that this kind of thing is a strategic reserve material in any country, do you know how low our annual production of pure gold is! 200 kilograms is absolutely not enough, at most 20 kilograms. Xie Tianqiao directly discounted that number.
"Twenty kilograms! Old man Xie, are you kidding me? Twenty kilograms is definitely not good, I take a step back, one hundred and fifty kilograms! Well, I'm sincere enough! Sarabuker bargained.
"That's good. Find a knife and kill me now, and see if I'm worth a hundred and fifty kilograms of pure gold." It's not that I said you, you can't think about the problem realistically! You're just"
"That's enough!" It was not Sarabuk, but Cheng Xueqiu. The two of them heard this. was so frightened that he immediately turned his head to look, and what he saw was Cheng Xueqiu's grim expression.
"You don't look at what time it is! Actually haggling over some little things here, is it time to discuss these things! You two are also not a small boss, and you are so indiscriminate in how to do things! Cheng Xueqiu glared at the two angrily. The tone is majestic! was so frightened that they couldn't help but subconsciously shrink their necks.
Cheng Xueqiu's temper has always been relatively mild, but no matter how good her temper is, she is also a great master in the late Yuan Infant period, her majesty is inviolable, and the difference in rank determines everything! This is different from combat effectiveness, this is the deterrence of the realm level, and this is the majesty that belongs to the master alone! Seeing the two juniors, who were so careless in front of her, she couldn't help but feel an awkward feeling of being ignored.
Just think about it. How would a prime minister and a deputy prime minister be arguing over what to eat at tonight's banquet in front of the chairman in front of the president under the pressure of the soldiers? Maybe it's not quite the right analogy, but it's pretty much the same! Therefore, Cheng Xueqiu broke out! The huge majesty shook their minds, and finally made them realize that they were wrong.
"Hey, hey, hey" Xie Tianchou smiled awkwardly, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Just kidding, leaving aside a big master in the late Yuan Infant period is simply too unserious. This is a bad temper. It's strange if you don't teach yourself a lesson on the spot! "Alas! It seems that those who should be scrupulous still have to have scruples, and they are too carried away. I even neglected the most basic etiquette, oops. What a mistake, what a mistake! He complained in his heart, but he didn't know what to do for a while.
Looking at Xie Tianqiu, who looked cramped and uneasy, Cheng Xueqiu re-showed a bright smile and said, "Okay, you don't have to be like this, let's talk about it." What kind of arrangement did Ma Yi's grandfather make! ”
Hearing this, Xie Tian suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oops! It wasn't for you who reminded me that I almost forgot what I was doing. As he spoke, he immediately turned over his hand and took out a crimson transmission note, engraved some information inward, and then casually punched into it with a magic decision, and then this transmission note broke through the void and disappeared. After doing these things, he smiled at Cheng Xueqiu and the others and explained the cause and effect of this matter.
As we mentioned earlier, the major forces in the East have planted their own eyeliner in the Western forces, and as a behemoth like the Holy See of Light, it is natural that it should be taken care of. As early as more than 200 years ago, this plan had already begun, when the power center of the Huaxia State was still in the hands of the Qing court, and the state was also an imperial system, and as a cultivator, it rarely cared about the political struggles in the secular world.
However, the continuous infiltration of Western forces has made the Eastern Cultivation Realm unable to sit still any longer, and the means they use are very simple, that is, trade and commerce. In the beginning, Westerners brought only clocks, silverware, glassware, and other oddities. These gadgets are harmless, and naturally they will not be looked at by the Eastern Cultivation Realm. Gradually, the figure of a missionary appeared in the Western merchant group that set foot on the land of China, and this change could not help but make the Eastern Xiuzhen Realm suddenly vigilant. In the classical texts, the Eastern Xiuzhen Realm will not turn a blind eye to the cause of the Great War between the East and the West. Therefore, during that time period, the Oriental monks frequently went out to walk the world, vigilant against the every move of these guys.
Fortunately, there was a false alarm, and although those people were preaching and some of them were building churches, they did not do anything out of the ordinary. This couldn't help but make the Eastern Cultivation Realm, which had already tightened a thread, gradually relax. Just when everyone had already relaxed their vigilance, the Western Holy See forces extended their evil claws to the ordinary civilians in the land of China!
The methods they use are despicable! As we all know, the Holy See of Light behind the church is well-known for its healing effects of light magic. Therefore, the churches they built on the land of China have almost become synonymous with hospitals or clinics. Originally, there was nothing, it was natural to treat diseases and save people, whether it was the Qing court at that time, or the common people at that time, they gave them a certain amount of support and trust.
But this was the beginning of their conspiracy, a sudden plague that swept through the southern part of the land of China, and countless people were suffering from stubborn diseases, although no one died as a result, but the churches became crowded. This sudden change made the Eastern Cultivation Realm suddenly vigilant! Later, however, the church staff gave them a long sigh of relief, believing that this was just a coincidence.
What the Eastern Cultivation Realm never expected was that those ordinary people who had recovered were infected with another 'stubborn disease', and the speed of the spread of this 'stubborn disease' was simply terrifying. In just two years, this 'stubborn disease' had spread throughout the land of China, and by the time the Eastern Cultivation Realm reacted and wanted to take control, it was already too late! This 'stubborn disease' is spread in a way that the Oriental monks are helpless because it has a familiar name, opium!
After the plague, Western caravans brought with them a lot of opium! This kind of thing not only exchanged a large amount of gold and silver from the Qing court, but also made a mess of the bodies of the Qing people. Someone is crazy, someone is sobbing, someone is laughing! Some families sell their children and daughters for this, and some wealthy families are ruined and cut off their land! Reparations! The once rich land of China has become starving and riddled with holes.
The Qing court was furious! The cannon fodder of the Opium War swept the southern frontier, but unfortunately, this war ended in failure! The Western merchants had brought clocks, silverware, glassware, and the evil opium, but they had not brought their cannons or guns! In the case of firepower and its unequal power, the ** Qing court has been beaten by them to lose its temper! The consequence of this is that the land will be ceded and the indemnity will be paid, so that the people will not be able to raise their heads!
The Eastern Cultivation Realm is thundering and furious! The poison of opium will erode the human body, pollute the human soul, and make those who possess spiritual roots useless! The people, the population, these are the foundation of the Eastern Cultivation Realm, without the population, without the people, there will be no disciples! This will bring the Eastern Cultivation Realm to decline and perish! This is a poisonous ploy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle! This is the most despicable means!
"It's a conspiracy! This was premeditated! Examine! Find out now! "This is the order of Situ Nan, the person in charge of the Eastern Cultivation Realm back then!
Soon things came to light! The black hand behind the scenes has emerged, the Holy See of Light! It was the plague they spread secretly, it was they who added opium poppy to the medicine that saved people, so that the common people became addicted to drugs, or they ordered the caravan to bring a large amount of opium into the land of China! All of this is behind their control, all of this is their conspiracy!
Knowing the cause and effect of this matter, the Eastern Cultivation Realm also began to act, and due to the restrictions of the non-aggression pact, everyone could only act in the shadows! Even if it was the Bright Sect's action this time, they only used the plants on the earth, and did not use the means of the cultivation realm, so they did not violate the treaty this time. In desperation, the counterattack of the Eastern Cultivation Realm had to be carried out behind the scenes!
