Section 63 Martial Arts and Steel
Neither Bai Haitang nor Ronan expected that this person would suddenly appear in the small room of the Begonia Martial Arts Hall at such a time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Bai Haitang laughed dryly, and said politely: "Hello uncle." ”
Luo Laohu waved his hand: "Little Begonia, your room is a little crowded." ”
Bai Haitang is so good, he immediately heard the meaning of Luo Laohu's words, and immediately said: "It's a little crowded, I'll leave." ”
After that, he left the small room without saying a word, leaving only Ronan and Luo Laohu, father and son.
The atmosphere became eerie.
Ronan didn't expect that Luo Laohu would take the initiative to come to him.
The latter didn't seem to be in a hurry, just sat silently on a chair and crossed Erlang's legs.
"What's going on here?"
Ronan couldn't help but ask.
There are too many doubts in his heart, and if there is one person in this world who can answer his doubts, it must be the man in front of him.
Although he was his father, Ronan never called out to the other party. Maybe it's because of the time travel, or maybe it's the fourteen years of Xinyue's difficult career, which makes him still quite resistant to this mysterious middle-aged man.
He just stared at each other like this.
Luo Laohu didn't seem to mind, he just said lightly: "If you don't understand, ask one by one." ”
"What's the matter with the sword-wielder?" Ronan frowned.
Recently, this identity has caused him too much trouble, even Yang Qingfeng, who has a good relationship, he is a little embarrassed. Yang Qingfeng is a very good person, but he can't embarrass him because of this.
However, he didn't know what the meaning of Luo Laohu's identity as a sword-bearer was, so he could only use a delaying tactic.
This question is what bothers Ronan the most at the moment.
"The sword-wielder is the sword-wielder who kills the pig. Luo Laohu said as a matter of course: "The rules were set on a whim back then, and at that time, I didn't know that my son would need to kill the pig sword when he entered the No. 2 base many years later, but if you don't take it, you may not survive, so I still did what your mother told me." ”
"There are three sword-wielding people, the first is Butcher Chen, the second is me, and the third is you. ”
"I have to admit that you are the weakest of the sword-wielders. The heirs of the Nineteen Ancient Realms have put a lot of pressure on you, right?"
Ronan was silent.
He was really feeling a lot of pressure.
This kind of pressure is not external, but an internal pressure.
He originally thought that his skills and strength were already top in this world - even Li Nanbei's kind of monster transformed by the military department could be defeated, what else was there to fear?
Until Yang Qingfeng's birth, that Tiangang Imperial Sword simply opened the door to a new world for Ronan.
It turns out that human beings can still be so strong!
Luo Laohu's strength, Luo Nan can't feel it, he can only guess through Xiao An's reaction, and Yang Qingfeng and the strength of the descendants of the Nineteen Ancient Dao, he can really feel it, so his pressure is very huge.
As Bai Haitang said, it is absolutely impossible for the descendants of the primeval nineteen paths to give up. Although at present, with the help of the pressure of the upper echelons of the empire and legal means, he has temporarily prevented them from challenging them on the surface, and just now he has overwhelmed the other party with the power of Moduo with almost nonsense, but mixed with Yang Qingfeng, Ronan also realized how important it is to open the mountain gate to the Nineteen Ancient Paths.
It's something they have to do!
And he is the stumbling block of the primeval nineteen to return to the empire. How could he still be calm under such circumstances?
In case there are a few crazy characters in the Nineteen Ways of Taikoo, who come up directly and pull out their swords without saying a word, how many moves can they take?
It's a question of whether you can save your life or not!
So he was going to delay two more times, but he couldn't hold it back, so he just threw in the towel and left it to them. Anyway, winning or losing is not as important as a small life.
It's just that at this juncture, Luo Laohu appeared.
So he asked directly: "Those people are indeed very powerful, I can't beat them." ”
"If you want to suppress the Primeval Nineteen, I may not be a good target. And I myself am very puzzled why you want to suppress these martial arts practitioners. Is it because of the jealousy of the upper echelons of the empire?"
As soon as he heard this, Luo Laohu immediately became happy: "Superficial." ”
Ronan didn't refute.
Luo Laohu said seriously: "I'll give you the first lesson today, it's a father teaching his son, you just listen carefully." ”
"Why do I want to suppress the Nineteen Primeval Paths? You should ask, why did Butcher Chen suppress the Nineteen Primeval Paths!"
"This question is very simple, because he has long discovered that the development direction of martial arts is very unfavorable to the future of mankind!"
"According to Butcher Chen's calculations and evolution, if martial arts become the mainstream of the human world, then the social structure of human beings is very likely to be on par with the dark ages when wizards were in power, do you understand?"
"Martial arts, and witchcraft, are actually things of the same nature!"
Ronan's body shook. What Luo Laohu said made him a little incomprehensible. But in the next second, he figured it out.
Martial arts is indeed a thing of the same nature as witchcraft!
In the small room, Luo Laohu talked endlessly, Luo Nan just listened carefully, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
And some of the secrets about Butcher Chen's pit killing of the Nineteen Ancient Dao and Luo Laohu's killing of the galaxy have also been revealed.
The human world, since the beginning of the rebellion against wizards, has seen many development directions. Among them, martial arts exercises seem to be the more popular one, but they ultimately did not succeed independently.
It's not because martial arts can't beat witchcraft, but because under the rule of wizards, it's difficult for martial arts to have enough soil to grow and sprout.
In Butcher Chen's opinion, there was no difference between a martial arts master and a top wizard.
They ate most of the resources of the human world, and then possessed terrifying strength, which seriously upset the balance between people.
Once this kind of deformed relationship is formed, then the weak will definitely choose to rely on the strong to survive. In this way, the empire will be completely ruled by the martial arts powerhouse, and the freedom and equality that every life should have advocated by Butcher Chen will become a dead letter.
He saw very clearly that every human being aspires to become stronger, so the martial arts techniques that could not be bred in the wizard era are very likely to make a comeback in the imperial era.
Therefore, with the power of one person, he suppressed the Nineteen Ancient Dao for six hundred years.
Of course, this is not the only reason why Butcher Chen or Luo Laohu did this.
The prosperity of martial arts often means the weakening of science represented by steel and mecha. When young people are enthusiastic about martial arts, and no one learns the difficult laws of the universe, the empire's already weak scientific system will collapse with a bang.
The advantages and disadvantages of these two systems, Butcher Chen has already made a judgment for future generations.
In the simplest example, everyone can study science, become a scholar, learn how to operate a mech, and then become a pilot by their own efforts. Although people have different talents and different IQs, under the civilization of steel and mecha, the gap between them will not be particularly wide. No matter how ordinary people are, they can also become a part of this society through their own efforts.
But in the martial arts world, all this will come to naught. Martial arts, like wizards, are really talent that decides everything!
No matter how much effort a mortal puts in, it is not as good as the epiphany of genius.
From another point of view, the iron civilization can develop productivity and improve the material living standards of most people, while the martial arts civilization only purely improves personal strength, and does not help the material improvement, on the contrary, the martial arts masters consume the world's most abundant resources, and their contribution to the world cannot be compared with that of a senior researcher.
This is the difference between a martial arts civilization and a steel civilization.
......
"At the beginning, Butcher Chen, Gu Wu and Mecha were both cultivators, why did he name the empire Steel? The purpose is very simple, he has already chosen the path for our descendants. ”
Luo Laohu sighed with emotion: "His vision is indeed very accurate, six hundred years later, during the period of martial arts, the empire's scientific and technological development was slow, internal contradictions intensified, martial arts controlled power, and the entire empire fell into an abnormal frenzy, but this frenzy could not hide the ultra-high unemployment rate, the increasing crime rate, and the empire's laws faced unprecedented challenges!"
This is a sign of another Dark Age. ”
"I saw it with my own eyes, so I admired Butcher Chen. ”
"If there is anything regrettable in my life, it is that I was not born 700 years early. ”
Speaking of which, Luo Laohu's originally somewhat rickety figure suddenly became extremely upright.
There was an indescribable sparkle in his eyes.
That's a natural temperament.
It is a pity that he was not born 700 years early.
Because there is no legend like you in this era, worthy of my admiration and worthy of my challenge.
Ronan read the meaning, and became more and more silent.
After a long time, Ronan spoke: "Since there are so many disadvantages of martial arts exercises, then why do you want to make an agreement with the sword wielder?"
Luo Laohu smiled: "You must give them some hope, otherwise the dying struggles of those people will shake the foundation of the empire." ”
"Furthermore, martial arts are not without merit. I've suppressed them for more than 20 years, and they can only choose one or three descendants, so those dojos are carefully selected when selecting successors to ensure that they are truly super geniuses. ”
"When you see those descendants of the Nineteen Ancient Realms, you don't have to be too ashamed of yourself. Because those are the old men of the Nineteen Ancient Realms, who have traveled all over the empire and selected from hundreds of millions of living beings!"
"These kids are good. To be able to cultivate martial arts in such an impetuous society, his will naturally does not need to be said. In fact, even if you lose to them, it's nothing. ”
Ronan breathed a sigh of relief before he asked seriously, "Why are you talking to me about this today?"
Luo Laohu said calmly:
"Because I'm probably going to be gone soon. ”
