"Wasn't it the invention of papermaking, printing, that made books popular?"

"Taizu is a scholar?"

The women were helpless. Zhu Yuanzhang has become a beggar, who is he studying with?

"What's going on?"

This statement actually reverses cause and effect. Papermaking, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun invented. But in the two Jin Dynasty, the family's control over the world was stronger. Although the Central Plains was lost due to natural disasters and civil strife, the family all crossed to the south, and those who remained in the north suffered heavy casualties were not the people at the bottom? Knowledge is not disseminated, not because paper is expensive, but because the aristocracy does not want to disseminate. As long as the world remains a noble hall, they will not spread knowledge to the common people and shake their rule. Nowadays, books can be widely disseminated because there are many rulers in the world, many of whom are from poor families, and even from ordinary people. Just like that Taizu. ”

"Then what do you say caused the decline of the family?"

"What led to the decline of the family was not because of Wen, but because of Wu.

"The gap between the family and the commoners, in addition to inheritance, is also resources. Confucius devoted his life to solving the problem of inheritance. And resources have always been who has the right and who distributes them.

"In ancient times, the population was sparse, and rare elixirs could be seen everywhere in the mountains and forests. As long as you know what you need, you can find your goal. At this time, knowledge and inheritance are the limits of people's practice. Therefore, His Majesty Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and told people about the effect of each elixir. However, with the growth of the population, the number of rare medicinal materials in the Central Plains gradually decreased. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was difficult for ordinary people to discover cherished medicinal materials. Even if there is, between the Maison's high-priced acquisition and its own use, the former will definitely be chosen. Because taking one or two elixirs in their leisure time will not bring them enough changes, but rather a lot of money, which can improve their lives for a short period of time.

"We can find from the history books that during the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, there was a craze for taking Wushi San. Based on my medical knowledge, it can be said very clearly that, except for very special circumstances, long-term use of Wushisan is harmful to the human body. So, what led to the rise of Goshisan? It was because of the exhaustion of the elixir.

"Originally, an ordinary family of poor families was able to gather the elixir cultivated by the children of the family, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, even the concubines of the great family only occasionally used the elixir. So how can you practice without an elixir? Wushisan is an alternative attempt. If the elixir of plants and trees can't find enough years, will the older gold and stone also have medicinal properties because they are old enough?

"When someone takes Wushisan and cultivates, and finds that their cultivation has really improved, Wushisan quickly becomes popular."

The women were shocked and asked, "Could it be that the stone is old enough to really have medicinal properties?" Five stones, is it really beneficial to practice? ”

"If toxicity is also medicine, I can only say that there is. If only the cultivation speed is used as a criterion, I can also say that it is beneficial. But as long as you analyze it carefully, you can find that using the Five Stone Powder to cultivate is just drinking to quench your thirst, and the effect is there, but it is even more fatal. ”

"You mean to say that poison also accelerates cultivation?"

"Yes, yes, but not advisable. Tonic medicine to enhance cultivation is needed for tonic cultivation, just like adding firewood to the fire, as long as you keep adding firewood, the fire can keep burning, enough firewood, the fire will naturally be strong enough. This is not the case with poison, which stimulates the body's potential at the cost of damaging the body and consuming the potential in exchange for a momentary acceleration of cultivation. Just as the wind fuels a fire, when the wind is right, the fire will naturally become stronger, but without firewood, the more the fire burns, the faster the firewood will be consumed. Not to mention, as long as the wind is a little stronger, it will blow the firewood and grass away, and the burning time will only be shorter. And once the wind is too strong, it will directly blow out the firewood. ”

Just as the women who had never studied chemistry didn't know why fire borrowed from the wind, they couldn't understand how poison could also promote cultivation, so they immediately asked.

Hua Xue explained: "No matter what kind of cultivation method, the essence is to pursue longevity and longevity. Therefore, the extraordinary power obtained from cultivation, whether it is internal force or mana, will spontaneously improve the body. When toxins are found in the body, the supernatural forces will find ways to eliminate these toxins. This process greatly enhanced the activity of the transcendent power in the cultivator's body at that time, and when he cultivated, the speed would naturally be faster. But this activity does not come without a price. Even without considering the damage to the body caused by the toxins themselves, this activity is constantly burning the body's foundations and potential. When cultivating is cool, when the foundation and potential are exhausted, the person will also be wasted. ”

"You say so, as long as there is enough supplementation, the poison can indeed improve cultivation?"

"It's not about improving your cultivation, it's just about speeding up your cultivation. In fact, except for those who swallow elixir directly, there are often some slightly toxic drugs in all tested molded formulas, just to make the medicine work as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the body's own digestive ability, most of the drugs will not have time to fully play their role at all, and they will pass. ”

What Hua Xue thought of at this time was the digestion of starch by the human body. Originally, it turned into glucose and ATP, even if it played a role. But once it is too late to digest, the excess starch intake becomes a fat accumulation. How similar the two are. Since ancient times, losing weight has been like practice, and people have a long way to go.

"Wushi San, the predecessor is very likely to be a pair of medicine guides to assist in absorbing elixir. When there is enough elixir to replenish, the toxicity of Wushi Powder is naturally dispelled by the supernatural power that is constantly replenished, so the person who takes it does not know its toxicity. But when the elixir is missing, although Wushisan can still accelerate cultivation for a short time, it has also become a life-urging talisman, and the more diligently you take it, the faster you will die. This is also one of the important factors in the loss of the Central Plains in the Western Jin Dynasty: the elites of the family, who are the pillars of the country, are either unenterprising or short-lived. Only a few can afford to buy enough elixir, and those who have not been harmed by the five stones are difficult to support alone. ”

In the end, Hua Xue concluded: "No matter what, cherish life and stay away from poisons. ”

"Wushi San has corrupted the middle level of the family, but the descendants of the top clans, such as Wang Xie, they can afford to buy elixirs, and their cultivation is naturally extraordinary. And although the people at the bottom could not afford to buy Wushi Powder to avoid poison, they did not have an elixir to enhance their cultivation, and the gap naturally widened. Therefore, the self-proclaimed person surnamed Xie is only one bucket, although there is an excessive personality cult for Cao Zhi, but if it is replaced by a family, this statement is still somewhat credible: at that time, in terms of strength, if there is one stone, that is, ten buckets, Wang Xie's two families have nine buckets, and the rest of the people add up, it is only one bucket. And the essence of Wang Xie's two families is also concentrated on those people in each generation. ”
