Chapter XVII: Stupid Mortals

Most humans are accustomed to assigning a mystical and unknowable supernatural definition to everything beyond their comprehension, that is, a god in a broad sense.

This is actually an underlying habit in the genes of human beings to seek advantages and avoid harm, which stems from fear and cowardice, giving up stepping out of the comfort zone, giving up looking for ways to solve problems or understand problems.

Only a few people who dare to be the first to eat crabs are willing to explore these unknown fears at a huge cost, and most of these people have a miserable end in contemporary times, but they will leave a strong mark in the history of human civilization and be praised in poetry.

Because they are pioneers who lead civilization forward, exploring knowledge and the unknown.

Human beings with this trait first and foremost have one thing in common, which is intellectual curiosity or uselessness.

In addition to the knowledge brought by birth, these two characteristics also have a way of thinking that can be changed by acquired education, that is, the illiterate science popularization of later generations.

The principle and ability of the impact drill is undoubtedly this kind of 'divine power' for the ancient people, even Wang Li, who is already in the elite class, was so frightened that he peed his pants when he saw the scene of a towering giant tree collapsing in Wang Xu's hands in just one minute.

In fact, it's not that he's timid, it's mainly that this picture is too shocking.

Mo Wolf and the others even kowtowed and their heads were broken, and Wang Xu paid the price of one 'elixir' for each person to appease their spirits.

"This is the power of the gods?" Wang Li sat on the ground with a dull gaze, not caring about the embarrassment of being scared to pee.

"Sort of." Wang Xu put away the impact drill: "But this kind of power is also something that mortals can master. ”

"Really?" Wang Li's dull eyes instantly focused, and his excited voice split.

"But with the current state of your people's minds, it will take at least a few hundred years." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"If I have this power, any enemy will be a dirt dog in front of me." Wang Li's eyes flashed with a crazy light.

"But you're alone after all." Wang Xu smiled, "When you master this kind of power, this power is actually not as strong as you imagined, but when a group of people master this power, the effect of this power is not as strong as you imagined." ”

Wang Li's pupils shrank, as if he didn't understand the sentence.

"One person's strength is limited after all, even if it is a god, it needs a team." Wang Xu smiled and said, "The kind of absolute power you revere actually doesn't exist. ”

"If I had that power, at least I wouldn't be forced here." Wang Li said hatefully.

"If you master this power, you and your family will disappear even more completely." Wang Xu smiled.

"Is there only one way to survive by rebellion?" Wang Li said with a complicated expression.

"This is a problem that humanity has not solved for thousands of years." Wang Xu said with a sigh.

"Neither can the gods?" Wang Li frowned.

Wang Xu shook his head with a smile, did not answer, and walked to the ink wolf's side.

The clansmen who had regained some consciousness after eating the 'elixir' sat around the giant tree, looking at the terrible fracture, and they couldn't imagine what force had caused such a terrible wound.

Seeing Wang Xu coming, they immediately knelt on the ground trembling and didn't dare to look up.

"Don't be too afraid of this power, for one day in the future, your children will have it." Wang Xu said in a gentle voice.

"The Emperor wants to reward us with this power?" The ink wolf asked in a trembling voice with red eyes.

"Now we are not enough to grasp this power, but as long as the Lone Bamboo Country is not destroyed, this power will eventually come and reshape our prosperous world." Wang Xu said with an unfathomable expression.

"I wish to swear allegiance to the emperor to the death, to be a merchant in life, and to be a merchant in death!" The ink wolf led the other clansmen to slash their palms with sharp weapons, and drew a strange symbol on their faces and bodies with scarlet blood, sincerely worshipping them.

Wang Xu didn't stop it, because he knew that this should be a highest-level allegiance ceremony, and getting the allegiance of warriors such as the ink wolf was equivalent to getting the ruling power of the Lone Bamboo Country.

"The emperor will grant you glory." Wang Xu learned the lines in the middle two anime and pressed his hand on the forehead of the ink wolf.

The ink wolf's excited body was swinging.

"Alright, I'll bandage you." Wang Xu took out gauze and Yunnan Baiyao, and helped Mo Wolf and the others bandage the wounds on their hands.

These people are really ruthless to themselves, the wounds cut with stone tools are connected to the flesh, and they also have an indifferent look, which makes Wang Xu very worried that they will die of tetanus infection, these warriors are the foundation of his foothold, and the loss of one of them is unbearable for him.

After bandaging the wounds of the last soldier, Wang Xu suddenly realized a serious problem, his way of thinking has completely changed from a modern person with all-round development of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith to a 'barbarian' with survival as the first bottom line.

The ability of human beings to adapt is really terrifying.

Wang Xu felt that he had to find a stable habitat as soon as possible, otherwise he would be assimilated into a primitive man in this primitive environment.

The clansmen who were bandaged by Wang Xu seemed to have received a shaman buff bonus, and they were more efficient at digging holes.

Taking off the robe that was wet with urine, Wang Li put on the disposable underwear that Wang Xu gave him, the pants of the Chinese people in this era are still at the level of open crotch pants, and the first time he wore tight-fitting underwear, Wang Li was awkward for a long time.

"Isn't it uncomfortable for you people to wear such clothes?" Wang Li asked, sharpening the wooden thorns.

"People in the envy door are more reserved and not very suitable for walking birds." Wang Xu studied the few plants he had just picked and replied casually.

"But such tight clothes are shabby." Wang Li said with a smile.

"So you're stupid mortals." Wang Xu sneered.

Wang Li tugged at the corners of his mouth and snorted lightly, "Just now you said that you want to restore the prosperity of Yin Shang?" ”

"Don't think about it, my prosperity is not a rebellion." Wang Xu shook his head: "The misery of life is a big taboo that we envy. ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, with my Great Qin, where is your prosperous Yin Shang world?" Wang Li frowned.

"Do you know how big it is under the world?" Wang Xu hooked the corners of his mouth.

"This, anyway, there is no place that my Great Qin Tie can't ride." Wang Li snorted coldly.

"Then I can go to the sea, and on the other side of the sea, there is a wild land no less than this land, where there is a milder climate, more abundant species, less populated, and a larger land." Wang Xu chuckled.

"Impossible, the sea is already the end of heaven and earth!" Wang Li argued.

"Stupid mortals." Wang Xu snorted lightly, "Don't think about instigating me to help you rebel, don't say that even if I agree, your father will not be able to agree." ”

"Why?" Wang Li was stunned.

"Your Wang family has been in front of the Qin State for hundreds of years, even if the family is ruined, it is impossible to bear the infamy of being a thief, and your Wang family will not follow in the footsteps of the Marquis of Wenxin." Wang Xu shook his head, "If I didn't guess wrong, if you didn't have a moth, your father would have handed over the military power in his hands after fighting the Yan Kingdom, and like your grandfather, he would protect himself and withdraw from the court." ”

"Then my Wang family's hundreds of years of dedication can't get a little trust from the king?" Wang Li asked reluctantly.

"For the emperor, trust is insignificant compared to the world." Wang Xu shook his head, "This truth is difficult for a courtier to understand." ”

Wang Li snorted lightly, and angrily put the sharpened wooden thorn aside, "What is a moth?" ”

"It's just that it's okay to find trouble, and it's smart to be smart, just like you." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"I'm a victim of a traitor!" Wang Li said indignantly.

"Don't make excuses for your stupidity." Wang Xu shook his head.

Wang Li sighed, sat on the ground in a decadent manner, and said blankly, "Could it be that I am really in trouble?" ”

"At least you are out of filial piety and good intentions." Wang Xu smiled.

"Is this what my father said, the kindness of a woman?" Wang Li wondered.

"A woman's kindness should be a virtue to us, and it is precisely because there are so many intrigues in this world that it has become a mockery." Wang Xu shook his head.

"This is the world after all." Wang Li sighed.

"Then use the rules of the world to rebel." Wang Xu smiled.

"Huh?" Wang Li raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The biggest rule in the world is tantamount to the exchange of interests, when you can come up with enough chips, you can naturally exchange for the value you want." Wang Xu said.

"Is this the way the world is?" Wang Li asked.

"There are exceptions, but these exceptions have become dead." Wang Xu sighed.

"I don't want to be a dead man." Wang Lizheng said.

"Then live well." Wang Xu patted him on the shoulder.

"What am I worth?" Wang Li asked.

"Your martial arts skills are at least good, and you are also a good hunter." Wang Xu chuckled.

"I'm a great man, and you let me be a hunter?" Wang Li said angrily.

"Hunters are not good, and they should be good things." Wang Xu sneered lightly, "Besides, how did you get your Daliangzao, and you don't have a lot of pressure in your heart?" ”

Wang Li shrunk his neck: "My grandfather begged the king." ”

"Oh? I thought it was a special gift from King Qin? Isn't the title of Qin State hereditary? Wang Xu wondered.

"It is true that the title cannot be hereditary, but when the king invited my grandfather to go out of the mountains and Pingchu, he personally promised this, as long as I have more military exploits, I can take over my grandfather's title." Wang Li said with a proud expression on his face.

For their courtiers, it was indeed a great honor to be able to make the king change the rules.

"Your grandfather is really good to you." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Of course, it's a pity that my father doesn't like me, if he had taken me with him when he was in Pingwei, I would have taken over as a marquis by now." Wang Li said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Xu glanced at him, "Say you're stupid, you're really stupid, do you think the king's compromise is really a good thing?" ”

Wang Li was stunned.

"You have not yet been weakened to rank as the Marquis of Che, your father is still in the prime of life, when the time comes, how will the king deal with himself?" Wang Xu smiled and said, "By the way, Prime Minister Wang Xuan, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

"It's my uncle." Wang Li replied with a big grin.

"If I were King Qin, I would have found an excuse to take down your house a long time ago." Wang Xu rolled his eyes.

"Why?" Wang Li said dissatisfied.

"The high merit is no longer enough to describe your Wang family." Wang Xu sighed: "I hope your father really hates you, otherwise your Wang family may really be in trouble because of you." ”

Wang Li's pupils shrank.
