Chapter 258: How Long Can Something Without a Rootless Source Last?
Although in the mission world, Zhu Ming is dominant.
But in the real world, Zhu Ming is extremely ordinary.
So suddenly seeing so many luxury cars, Zhu Ming was very surprised.
However, Zhu Ming is also a person who has seen a big scene, so naturally he will not be frightened by this formation.
However, Zhu Ming knows that after today, his life will definitely be affected by this.
It's early in the morning, but there are still people on the road.
There are a lot of uncles and aunts who come out to buy vegetables and exercise in the morning.
Even those aunts and uncles have never seen luxury cars.
But just these dozen spiritual old men, with more than a dozen luxurious-looking cars, are enough to arouse the gossip desire of these uncles and aunts.
And there are also some young people who have to rush to catch the subway early in the morning and go to work dozens of kilometers away.
Zhu Ming has seen a lot of people taking pictures while walking with their mobile phones.
The power of modern doxing and dissemination is enormous.
Zhu Ming didn't know if he could be popular.
Or rather, to the extent of fire.
But within the scope of understanding, Zhu Ming will definitely cause discussion and onlookers.
Zhu Ming glared at Xu Chao fiercely.
This made Xu Chao feel very aggrieved.
Xu Chaoxin said that this car is not mine, and these old men are not something I can command.
But Xu Chao did interject at that time.
The young masters of these hermits like to play cards, they like to be pretentious, they like to pretend.
Who made these old men understand it wrong.
It's no wonder that this kind of video of flipping and pretending to slap your face is always broadcast on the Internet now.
It's similar to the kind of person who is disliked by his mother-in-law and wife all day long, but when he turns around, he finds that he is the son of a billionaire, and countless existences that ordinary people can only look up to, but they are all under this person's subordinates, and they are all respectful and obedient.
The scene where countless bigwigs lined up in several lines and shouted the young master together really pulled the wind, well, it's the second middle school.
But maybe young people like it.
So these old men came up with an ingenious idea, and now this one.
Zhu Ming could only hold his forehead and sigh lightly.
The second secondary disease is indeed contagious.
Zhu Ming hurriedly got into the nearest car.
Staying outside, Zhu Ming felt like a gorilla in the zoo.
Seeing that Zhu Ming's face was a little pale.
The old man in the car also looked a little embarrassed.
The old man glared at Xu Chao fiercely.
Look at what bad ideas you have.
This made Xu Chao even more aggrieved.
More than a dozen luxury cars lined up on the streets of the city, still looking a little unusual.
Passers-by have speculated, is this a big man again?
The car drove to a suburban villa.
Zhu Ming was in a trance for a while, which seemed to be a little different from what he had guessed before.
Shouldn't these old men live in the mountains, or in Taoist temples?
The luxurious living room has long since been refurbished.
A large round table with a dozen chairs surrounded the city.
There was also some fruit on the table.
This arrangement is also well-intentioned by the owner.
Now they have a request for Zhu Ming.
Naturally, we can't afford to slack off.
But Zhu Ming is a young man after all.
For Chinese, especially the elderly, this seat is about an identity.
It's not good to let Zhu Ming sit in the front, and it's not good to sit in the back.
So simply arrange the table in the middle, and the chairs are circled to dilute the distinction between primary and secondary.
"You may be seated."
Although the distinction between primary and secondary is downplayed, these old men's posture is also very low.
They invited Zhu Ming to sit in the second seat after the main seat.
But how can young people understand this now, but Zhu Ming is an exception. After all, Zhu Ming has experienced so many worlds, and he can't be measured by the standards of ordinary young people for a long time.
Although Zhu Ming was still very young at this time, he could not be regarded as a young man in terms of mentality and knowledge.
However, Zhu Ming is actually not interested in these.
"What do you want to do when you come to me again and again?"
Zhu Ming felt that he was very busy, and he didn't know what task would be triggered at night.
How can there be so much effort and these old men going around in circles here.
So as soon as Zhu Ming sat down, he got straight to the point.
This made these old men almost choke to death from the tea they had just drunk.
The habit of these old men to talk about things is to drink tea first, start with trivial matters, and if they don't talk for an hour, they won't get involved in the topic.
Well, young man, it's understandable to be impetuous.
The old man in Tang costume said directly: "Since Mr. Zhu is refreshing, we won't beat around the bush." ”
With the statement of the old man. What had happened was like a picture scroll slowly unfolding in front of Zhu Ming.
Zhu Ming was a little surprised in his heart, but then he was also a little surprised.
This earth is not as simple and ordinary as it seems.
These old men are all descendants of some ancient cultivation sects.
The events of antiquity have passed for too long, and in the early days they were all passed down by word of mouth.
Therefore, that period of history, whether true or not, can only be regarded as an ethereal myth and legend.
And the real detailed record is after the Qin and Han dynasties.
However, even as an ordinary person, Zhu Ming had vaguely heard of that history before.
In fact, everything originated from refining the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang back then.
The huge alchemy event of that year was described as a farce in the official history.
Moreover, the official history was deliberately distorted to find the elixir of life, rather than refining.
However, this was an unprecedented catastrophe for the cultivation sect.
Because refining the elixir of life is against the rules of heaven and earth.
So naturally there will be a catastrophe punishment.
So led by Xu Fu, he specially found an uninhabited island on the sea for refining.
This is also the legendary overseas fairy island.
In order to refine the elixir of life, the cultivation sect at that time did everything they could.
Almost the entire world has been looted for heaven and earth spiritual objects.
But in the end, the refining that had been very grasped encountered unprecedented changes.
At the moment when the elixir of life was successfully refined.
The catastrophe is extraordinarily ferocious.
The entire overseas fairy island was completely destroyed.
The masters who participated in alchemy were killed and wounded.
And the elixir of life is also missing.
I don't know if it was destroyed in that catastrophe, or if it was taken away.
However, all the immortal cultivation sects suffered heavy casualties in that heavenly tribulation, and their vitality was greatly damaged.
There are even some sects that do not have enough heritage and have almost broken their inheritance.
And with the heaven and earth spiritual objects being consumed.
Soon, these remnant sects discovered that the spiritual power between heaven and earth had begun to weaken, and they no longer had to breed new spiritual power.
This made all the cultivation sects panic instantly.
But after some effort, it turned out to be useless.
There is no way to stop this general trend of declining spiritual power.
Since there was no way to redeem it, the capable sects began to change their thinking and find ways to store spiritual power.
And this also exacerbated the decline of spiritual power.
Finally, a few decades ago, the spiritual power between heaven and earth was completely exhausted.
This made these cultivation sects completely enter the countdown to death.
Spells, lacking the support of spiritual power, have completely become a laughing stock.
Today's young people, who have never seen real spells, regard these sects as liars.
Even their children and grandchildren are reluctant to learn spells anymore.
Not to mention outsiders.
Maybe in a few decades, these sects will completely disappear, completely annihilated by the long river of history, and only some ethereal legends remain.
Zhu Ming frowned.
I didn't expect that there was such an unknown history on Earth.
However, Zhu Ming couldn't help it.
Although cultivation can produce spiritual power, this is only a drop in the bucket.
How long can something without a root last?
