Chapter 7: The True Purpose
It is estimated that the biggest contradiction between man and nature is the problem of coexistence. Humans are social animals, so there will be towns and villages, and the more prosperous the city, the larger the area, and the less vegetation in and around the city.
In the Central Plains, except for a few peaks such as Mount Tai, Songshan and Huashan, there is no Lingshan in the real sense.
People need enough space to survive, and this process inevitably destroys the environment. As a result of the loss of vegetation, the aura becomes thinner, if not nil. However, for human beings, it doesn't matter whether the aura is there or not, after all, if you don't rely on that thing to survive, the key is from the perspective of a ruler, and Li Ming feels that the disappearance of the aura is not completely unbeneficial.
For example, the spirit mountain will not be formed, and the spirit beasts and demon beasts, and even the big demon will not appear, in other words, the survival of human beings will be guaranteed. Anyway, firearms civilization will be developed in the future, firearms are better controlled than powerful warriors, only need to remove the ammunition, and do a good job of management, then no matter how strong a person's force is, no matter how strong an army is, it is also very powerful.
"Well, something...... It seems that I have to explain it to Master Hou......" Hao Lang looked at Li Ming's tangled appearance, knowing that there were some things that could not be hidden from Li Ming.
Li Ming just picked up the tea, and he didn't have time to drink it, but he was stunned at the moment, and then looked at Hao Lang.
"Master Hou, I heard earlier that the Lord of the Snake Country of Nanyue does not seem to be restricted by Lingshan and can move freely in the world, I don't know if the situation is true?" Hao Lang looked at Li Ming.
"We're also wondering why it can break the restrictions of demon beasts and big demons!" Li Ming nodded, he seemed to have realized what Hao Lang was going to say.
"That's the key!" Hao Lang said a little fanatically, "As Poor Dao said earlier, demon beasts and big demons can advance, mainly because they absorb spiritual energy and cultivate it. This cultivation is an unconscious act, so after they leave the spiritual mountain, in the environment where the spiritual energy is thin, the daily energy consumption is greater than the energy they gain, so the body will slowly degenerate.
Why can the master of the snake country keep the realm from falling, Poor Dao thinks that the main reason is that it is not a pure snake, but a human being. It already knew how to practice Qi, but by chance it got the means to absorb spiritual energy to cultivate, and began to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy between heaven and earth for cultivation, and then it grew into a snake step by step.
At the same time, it is also because of this reason that even if it leaves the Spirit Mountain, it can maintain its cultivation and realm. Of course, this part will not be discussed in depth, but the meaning of the poor path is that since animals can cultivate through the method of practicing Qi, they can actively absorb spiritual energy. So is it possible for human beings to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation through special methods...... Poor Dao suspects that this should be able to simulate the innate Qi, or even surpass the innate Qi! The restrictions are also very large, and if you leave the special environment, your cultivation will begin to decline! β
Beyond the power of the innate Qi, comparable to the earth-level or even heaven-level Dao method in minutes, as a research maniac, what could make Hao Lang feel fanatical more than this.
"Hao Dao Chang......" Li Ming was silent for a while, then took a sip of tea, "The point is, what good is this for me?" You should know very well that if you are really sure that this is feasible, it also means that only a few people can cultivate, after all, the spiritual mountain is limited, and how to stimulate the method of plants to produce spiritual energy, we need to start anew, not three or five hundred years I am afraid that the technology and theory will not be able to mature.
Do you understand? A group of cultivators who have achieved the Dao can unleash the existence of the Dao Law that destroys the world and the earth, but there is nothing that can restrain them! The most important thing is to achieve this goal, at least 70% of the country's vegetation area should be preserved......"
It is true that it can continue to develop outward, and to be honest, the population of China at this time is indeed not as large as in later generations. Counting the number of people killed in the war in the past two years, the population is still about 30 million. The population of the Central Plains has been decreasing, including Hebei, which has been decreasing since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the population of Jiangdong, Jingzhou and Bashu is constantly increasing!
Population represents the need for development, and development means destroying the environment and destroying the ecological chain. However, the result of destroying the ecological chain is more beneficial than bad for Li Ming, the ruler. One can develop the place, and the other can avoid the formation of spirit beasts and demon beasts, if he is given a choice, he would rather destroy the spirit mountain.
Even now, excluding Wuyi Mountain, such as Fuchun Mountain and Huiji Mountain, as well as Lingshan Mountain in the surrounding area, are all on alert and monitored by the government. If the cost of obtaining elixir and spirit beast meat one day is greater than the cost of monitoring, then in Li Ming's opinion, there is no need for this spiritual mountain to continue to exist.
"That's where I need to convince you!" Hao Lang sighed, "What I can provide is a more advanced dual cultivation method, which is more stable, more efficient, and less harmful to the body;
I can even provide some elixirs, not that kind of metal particles, these are all made of elixir, Hou Ye can taste it, it is much better for restoring internal qi and blood qi than the existing medicines. This kind of thing can only be refined by using all elixirs as materials.
Finally, there is immortality that all kings desire, I dare not say immortality, but with long-term nourishment of the body, immortality and immortality can still be achieved, and it is not a problem to survive for at least two or three hundred years. β
After a change of ruler, it is estimated that he will agree to the last point. You must know that this is the era of the average age of fifty, sixty years old is rare, and seventy years old is already considered a rare degree, let alone two or three hundred years of longevity.
"People who have lived for one life and have lived for three or five hundred years are not old monsters? Hao Daochang, research can be left to the next generation, why should you and I be so attached to this world? Li Ming smiled and shook his head.
"Hahahaha......" Hao Lang suddenly laughed, "It is estimated that the only one who can resist this temptation is Hou Ye!" β
"Daoist Hao, why are you ......" Li Ming looked at Hao Lang suspiciously.
"Hou Ye forgot what kind of character Poor Dao is? It's too troublesome to cultivate in Tianzhu Mountain, even if I really find a cultivation method, will I be able to concentrate on cultivation? Poor Dao was just worried that if there was a naΓ―ve research, Hou Ye would not be able to resist the temptation and would do whatever it took to cultivate. For the previous temptation, please don't blame Hou Ye...... By the way, here is the new version of the double cultivation exercises and pills I brought, and they should be used as an apology to Hou Ye. Hao Lang laughed, took out a cheatbook and three bottles of pills and put them in front of Li Ming.
"What if I can't resist the temptation?" Li Ming suddenly frowned.
"Hou Ye can forget, I am a disciple of Dunjia, if I want to go, Hou Ye can't stop me, if Hou Ye really tries to live forever, then Hao will change places at most to continue research." Hao Lang arched his hand inside.
"Okay, can't you be so scheming? In addition, I still want the Spirit Gathering Array, can we stop researching this area? Li Ming exhaled deeply, and then asked in a somewhat blaming tone.
"Of course, this is true, but when it will be researched depends on the mood. Hao heard that the imperial court had opened up the Silk Road, and at the same time, a batch of orchids were brought to Chang'an. What is the taste of exotic beauties, Hao is salivating, if the conditions allow, he will go to Chang'an first......" Hao Lang said with a look of omission.
"Shall I help you figure out how to get some orchids?" When Li Ming heard this, he immediately replied angrily.
