Chapter 16: The Evil Men of the Earth
Monk Sanwu asked Zhang Lu what was the obstacle to exploring the truth about the earth's ban, Zhang Lu thought about it for a while, and asked tentatively: "I don't dare to reveal my true origin, so it is impossible to ask directly, and I must secretly investigate ......."
Wei Qiang shook his head again and again: "You can't help but think about things too simply. In fact www.biquge.info, the biggest obstacle to finding out the truth is that there are people in the sky, but there is no human society!"
Zhang Lu was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, so he drank all the tea in the cup in one go, put the empty cup back on the table, and then smiled bitterly and said: "I probably understand......"
What is human society? Human beings must be closely related to the needs of production and life and combine into a whole in order to be called a society, and most of the immortals in the super-three-dimensional world are loners, or even secluded, and the connection between them is so loose that they can almost be classified as zero, so how can it still be regarded as a human society?
In such a situation, there is no guarantee of the dissemination and transmission of information. It is true that the ability of immortals to store information is tens of thousands, if not billions of times, greater than that of mortal brains, but the vastness of the super-three-dimensional world—even if it is only the eleven quadrants that have been discovered and occupied—and the earth world are countless times greater than the number above. Space is a factor, the same is true of time, the average life span of people on the earth is less than 100 years, the history of human civilization on the earth is only thousands of years, but the life span of immortals is close to infinity. In this case, the information that the immortals need to store is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Earthlings are like a little overlord learning machine, although the storage capacity is very low, but the programs to be processed are also simple, and the capacity is also small; super three-dimensional life is like the most advanced processor attached to a large hard disk in T, but at the same time, almost every program that needs to be processed is also based on G...... Xiaobawang may run simple programs smoothly, and top-level computers may also have perverted programs that can't run......
The Sanwu monk explained to Zhang Lu in detail: "Among the immortals, we are actually all small characters and freshmen. The poor monk just flew up more than a year ago, and Brother Wei Qiang was only a year and a half earlier than me......"
Zhang Lu waved his hand and interrupted Sanwu's words: "Wait...... I don't have a clear idea of the heavenly year......"
Sanwu monk smiled: "Of course, from the time I pushed you to go to the Tianyuan world to this moment, it is only one twentieth of a 'year', and if you really soar up, it will probably be a hundredth of a 'year', as the so-called 'morning bacteria do not know obscurity, cockroaches do not know spring and autumn', you have to stay for at least a year to have a clearer understanding - the length of time beyond the three-dimensional world, and it cannot correspond to the length of time in the three-dimensional world." ”
Zhang Luyi frowned: "Isn't there a shorter unit ......of time in the sky, such as the month, the day, the hour, or something."
Wei Qiang said with a smile: "First, the number of immortal lives is infinite, so they don't care about the time at all; second, there is a lack of sufficient references in the super-three-dimensional world, so naturally there is no way to derive a universal unit of time - it is already very lucky to hit the law of zero quadrant collapse and get a 'year'." And look at your pulse. ”
Zhang Lu put his left hand on his right wrist: "What do you mean? ”
Wei Qiang said yes, now our physical body is no longer a pure material existence, very different from mortals, there is neither pulse nor breathing, and it itself cannot provide even a very rough time reference.
Then he refilled the tea for the two: "You just need to know that according to our research and analysis, the first batch of three-dimensional people evolved into super-three-dimensional life, probably 100,000 years ago - the first one or the first batch was probably already hanging, of course, it is not easy to die, it is estimated that it was wiped out by the dragon clan, so I can't give an exact time." The great war between humans and dragons began about 95,000 years ago, and then around 80,000 years, humans gradually gained the upper hand. Therefore, it is estimated that the time of the ban on the earth may be between 90,000 and 70,000 years......"
Zhang Luyi frowned: "This scope is inevitably too wide......
The Sanwu monk clasped his hands together: "Helpless." There are two difficulties in making accurate judgments: first, as far as the current research knows, the relatively solid memory of the immortals can only last for about 50,000 years......"
Mortals have a limited brain capacity, and with some exceptions, most of them are unable to remember every detail of life, forgetting unimportant experiences immediately, and even more likely to gradually forget things that have been going on for a long time. In fact, the same is true for immortals, because the amount of information to be processed is too large, so it is inevitable that there will be unintentional or deliberate "forgetting".
"Fifty thousand years ago," Wei Qiang continued, "As far as the memories of the immortals we have come into contact with so far, most of them have been blurred, except for some important events that are closely related. For example, if we finally found a few old men who were nearly 100 years old and asked them about the battle of Taierzhuang, unless he was a veteran of the Nationalist army who participated in the war at that time, how could he give us the information we needed? Even if we read it in the newspaper at the time, we must have forgotten about it. ”
Zhang Lu asked, "Then we need to find the veterans at that time - is it difficult?"
The three-no monk shook his head and said, "It's difficult, it's difficult." This is exactly what I want to say, the second difficulty in accurately judging the point when the earth was blocked. If we can find those three guys, or the more subordinate executors whose names are unknown, then all the problems will be solved......"
Wei Qiang interjected: "It can't be regarded as an easy solution. If we really find the great god, we have to go directly to ask about the earth, maybe people will slap it down, and when the remnants of our earth are destroyed...... Oh, we are indeed the remnants of the earth. But I can see a glimmer of hope, can't I? Unfortunately, I can't find it at all. ”
"After investigation and analysis, there are two possibilities," the Sanwu monk said, "One is that when the people and dragons are fighting, since they are willing to defeat Fuxi and Nuwa and ban the earth, they will definitely not be the wasted people who avoid the battlefield far away and shrink in the corner to cultivate themselves, so it is very likely that they fell in the war." The second possibility, we searched everywhere, but it was difficult to find an old immortal with a lifespan of more than 60,000 years - on the premise that we can be sure that the life span of an immortal is almost infinite, guess what's the reason?"
Zhang Lu frowned and pondered while sipping tea, and after a long while, he finally sighed: "If you are either dead, you have lost interest in collective action......
Wei Qiang smiled bitterly: "I guess so." Immortals are almost omnipotent in the sky, and since they are omnipotent, and they have expelled the great enemy of the dragon clan, and they are not troubled for the time being, what is the meaning of life? Nothing is suffering, and omnipotence is actually just as bitter. I estimate that the immortal's escapism and indifference should be directly proportional to his age. ”
"You mean to say that young talents are the most vibrant, and the older they get, the more they can see the world, and the easier it is to have no desires and desires, and they don't want to care about anything anymore, right?"
The Sanwu monk stroked his palms and said: "That's almost the truth, donor, you understand...... Well, I don't play meditation, but I can use Zen theory as a metaphor, if you want to become a Buddha, you must have insight into the world, because only in this way can you let go of your obsessions. ”
"So," Wei Qiang raised his eyebrows, "Our time is not unlimited, it is estimated that after thirty or forty thousand years, a few of us will also feel that it is better to cultivate by ourselves and try to soar again, what does it matter what dragon clan, earth, ban, what's the point?"
"That's also very long-term, don't be afraid," Zhang Lu continued to slump on the sofa, "You mean that if the guys who did that vote nine to seventy thousand years ago were still alive, they would definitely shrink into some remote corner to cultivate themselves, and easily not communicate with the outside world, so it would be difficult to find?"
"What's worse is that the super-three-dimensional land is extremely vast and sparsely populated, and 99.99% of the place is a desolate place......"
Zhang Lu took the opportunity to ask, "Is it really possible to soar again?"
"I think Xuan," the Sanwu monk sneered suddenly, "the earth has developed to the present ...... The prosperity when we came, it was the result of the joint efforts of human beings to form a society, if you are forever a small country and a widow, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to break through the shackles of the earth. In fact, the world of cultivating immortals is the same, according to the conclusion reached by poor monks working in the 'Xuanqi world', only after the formation of human society - no matter which model - and development to a relatively mature level, can the inheritance of cultivating immortals be produced, standing on the shoulders of predecessors, and future generations will have the opportunity to soar. The ape-man who has just enlightened his wisdom wants to soar, and there is no door!"
Zhang Lu thought for a while, and then asked again: "Since this is the case, the immortals who are still active don't know about the ban, so why don't they dare to expose the origin of our earthlings?"
It was only before the words came out that he figured it out: "Oh, for Zhuan, Chong, and Li, it is a big event, even if it is a million years later, it may not be forgotten......"
Who knows if those old immortals have left some special mechanism, once there is a fish from the earth that has slipped through the net, they will immediately warn, and then they will suddenly jump out of the seclusion, and kill Zhang Lu and others into ashes with one palm? Don't underestimate the ability of the old immortals, after all, the gap between Zhang Lu and the others and them is calculated in 10,000 years (collapse year)!
Although you don't take the initiative to attack your own kind, you can barely be regarded as an iron rule of super three-dimensional human beings, but what if the other party doesn't treat you as your own kind?
Wei Qiang smiled bitterly: "If there are more than a dozen or more people flying up from the earth, I am willing to sacrifice myself to lure the old men to do it, but unfortunately our number is too small to afford to lose......"
"Then do you have to search inch by inch?" Zhang Lu frowned, "This is simply a collision of luck......"
The Sanwu monk sighed: "This is the same as the war with the Dragon Clan, and the same as the operation of the 'Xuanqi Realm' - but there is a lack of manpower. ”
"Fortunately, Zhang Lu, you are here, we have a little more strength, so ......" Wei Qiang just wanted to start looking forward to the future, but was interrupted by Zhang Lu waving his hand: "Wait, your near-zero research results are finished, now it's my turn." ”
Wei Qiang and Sanwu couldn't help but be stunned: "You...... You've just come up, what are the results of your research?"
"First of all," Zhang Lu said slowly as he sorted out his thoughts, "I have come up with a conjecture from your research. If I stand on the thoroughfare and shout, 'Lao Tzu is a visitor from the earth, who shamelessly banned my hometown?'
"That means he's been using some special mechanism to monitor the condition of the Earth?"
Zhang Lu smiled slightly: "At the same time, it also shows that his ban on the earth is likely to be permanent, rather than a temporary punishment mechanism." Do you think, how much hatred will it take to maintain the ban on the earth at an age when nothing else is gone? There are tens of thousands of 'years' in the sky, and there are probably tens of thousands of years on the earth, and as a result, the jailer is still there, and you want to say that this is not a life sentence, who believes it?!"
Wei Qiang nodded: "What you said is reasonable, but ...... Anyway, you don't dare to take risks, and if you say it, you don't say it. ”
Zhang Lu smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Also, the physique of the earthlings is indeed different from that of humans in other three-dimensional worlds......
Sanwu Monk said: "Actually, there are almost no identical three-dimensional races in another world, even if the difference is only one in a billion. ”
Zhang Lu stared into his eyes: "So you mean to say that we are not special?"
The Sanwu monk spread his hands: "There may be something special, but we haven't found it yet." ”
"The connection between us and the dragons ......"
"There may be a deeper reason for this connection, and it has nothing to do with physique. ”
"We can absorb the ...... of different true qi"
Wei Qiang and Sanwu Monk both stared wide-eyed: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Lu didn't expect them to react like this, so he couldn't help but sit up straight and scratch his chin: "This ...... Is it only me who has this special constitution? That would be even more strange......"
Seeing that the two of them on the other side were silent, just staring at themselves, Zhang Lu sighed, and explained in detail the matter of his self-mastered "Star Absorbing Dafa" - how he was slapped by Shi Congwei in the Juntian World, and the true qi that was forced into his body did not return immediately, and how he inexplicably absorbed the strong true qi of Gongzhong Zigui before ascending......
After Wei Qiang and Sanwu Monk heard what he said, they couldn't help but look at each other and were speechless for a while. Zhang Lu asked, hasn't a similar phenomenon happened to you?
Wei Qiang groaned: "It's a matter of chance...... The two times you absorbed the true qi of others, it was at a critical moment on the line of life and death, and you were violently bombarded by the true qi...... To be honest, I have never had a similar experience, in the years of fake accounts in the three-dimensional world, I was the only one who beat others at the beginning, and no one could hurt me. No one can do it, so I blasted him with my fists first. Turning his head to look at Sanwu: "What about you?"
San Wu shook his head: "Maybe I can do it, but again, there is no such opportunity." ”
Wei Qiang suddenly turned his head and spat on the ground: "Phew, the Dafa of absorbing stars, stealing people's true qi, the evil sect is crooked, everyone will be punished!"
Zhang Lu couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Could it be that it is because of the special physique of the earthlings that it will be banned?!"
