In the millennium of the Chinese era, mankind finally discovered an alien civilization, but this civilization has been destroyed by the 'traitors' who went out.

And brought a message.

"Science is dead, what's wrong with that?"

The Emperor clasped his hands on his books and looked at the many scientists around him with a smile on his face.

Scientists, once a name of lofty significance, have a very high status in human society, second only to officials and the rich.

In history, they are irreplaceable, and they are famous in history.

Because they promote the development of human society, human beings need them, they need to research drugs to cure diseases, they need to develop productive forces to feed more people, and they need to research weapons to kill more people.

But that was a long, long time ago, and now technology is no longer needed, and only some people are still holding on.

"But didn't you say that technology will one day be able to triumph over cultivation?" Someone asked incredulously.

"We have carried out countless experiments, broken through one difficulty after another, and passed down countless generations to this day, and the weapons of science and technology are enough to kill the gods!"

"But heaven and earth have destroyed the laws of physics, all atomic-level technologies have been destroyed, and physics does not exist!"

The white-haired scientist raised his hands in the air, as if the guns of a modern state had blasted through the holy city of religion countless centuries ago.

The same was true of the popes of yesteryear, who prayed to God.

And God never responds, but is only gradually worn out or transformed in the course of the times. Fade away the violence and bloodiness of primitive religion, and leave behind harmless spiritual beliefs for humans and animals.

The same is true for science.

Emperor Mian comforted: "Actually, it's not all, at least gravity is still there, gravity is still there, but it began to follow the rules of heaven and earth, not the laws of physics." Most of the laws you are familiar with are still there, but some of the things you envision are difficult to achieve. ”

"As for killing the god of transformation."

He smiled, not disdainful, just an unconscious move, these old child emperors didn't hate it.

Nowadays, those who can persist in the development of science are all fanatical believers in science and technology, and they are also seekers.

In the Blue Star, where there is infinite material abundance, it is not surprising that thousands of people who develop science have emerged among the more than a billion people. They have the conditions to conduct all kinds of experiments with matter, and Asgard doesn't care about that little resource.

All is allowed to exist without violating the law.

Even technologies that are backward, unsuitable for social development, and have no hope for the future will also be supported.

For Asgard, this is a children's interest class, and some high-level executives even think that it is good to comprehensively promote science and technology. If everyone goes to practice, then it will inevitably lead to a further reduction in cultivation resources, which in turn will increase contradictions.

Reiki resources are never infinitely rich.

At the same time, reducing the number of monks is also in line with the general direction of Asgard.

The development of science and technology has not been hindered in any way from the beginning to the end, and has even received great help from the spiritual practice. It's like an older brother supporting a younger brother, for example, all problems in material science can be solved through training.

Even if it really can't be solved, then find a powerful person to learn and promote the development of science and technology.

At that time, monks also needed the productivity of science and technology, and there were also statements that technology was not weaker than cultivation.

One of the strongest arguments is that technology that has been developed for less than a few hundred years can kill the god with a nuclear bomb alone. If technology is allowed to develop for a few thousand more years, perhaps even the immortals will not be able to stop it.

There is nothing wrong with such statements, people always like to look to the future.

But facts will not be transferred, distorted, or turned true with false perceptions.

"A nuclear bomb can kill the gods, and the weapons you have now can indeed kill the Holy King. But you have to be clear about one thing, these arguments are premised on the Holy King not doing anything to resist or defend. Let's assume that a nuclear bomb explodes within 10 steps of the avatar, which is enough to destroy its body. However, the actual situation is that the god has escaped into the void, and the reaction time of the divine soul can reach millions of times per second, which has exceeded the time for the destructive power of the nuclear explosion.

"Let's assume that an object with a mass greater than the Sun hits the body of the Holy King at twenty percent of the speed of light. In fact, it is still to escape into the void, or the Holy King can draw two points in space. ”

The emperor raised his hand and tapped it, and two pitch-black dots appeared in the void. Then he picked up a pen and tossed it gently, and the extremely fast speed instantly set off a violent wind to blow down the people around him.

They looked up at the pen that looped infinitely between the two black dots.

"You see, everything that you have conceived has already been solved in the practice."

The scientist asked, "Are we wrong?" ”

"Nope." The emperor shook his head, and then comforted: "Child, this is not your fault, let alone the fault of science, but the cultivation has been developed for hundreds of millions of years. If we talk about time alone, the cultivation world has existed for a longer time than this universe. ”

"Physics is no longer working, but that doesn't mean that science is dead and the world still exists."

"Never give up the struggle, never give up the search."

"The world is always cruel, and struggle is the main theme of the world."

In the first millennium of the Chinese era, along with the most famous scientist and the greatest scientist of all time, Emperor Mian published the article "Science and Technology is Dead", indicating that the development of science and technology for thousands of years has completely stopped, and only cultivation is left in heaven and earth.

The death of human science falls into society like an insignificant grain of sand, just like the former state, nation, ideology, and even etiquette and morality.

They retired earlier than science, and more quietly.

Since 600 years ago, the role of science and technology in human society has come to an end, not that technology has been completely abandoned, but that technology has fully met the daily needs of human beings. And those cutting-edge technologies can always find a substitute in the practice.

Advancing the study of a subordinate substitution of a practice that is not cost-effective at all is a bit of a fart with your pants off. Therefore, when the scientific and technological tree of people's livelihood is developed to the extreme, when the material of human beings no longer needs to increase, then the progress of science and technology becomes a kind of poor imitation of spiritual practice.

——

The Chinese era is 1,200 years.

The Li family in the cold water.

Three hundred years ago, Li's father and mother succeeded in having a baby, and then they couldn't bear to leave home and travel, and they have never returned.

Two hundred years ago, Zhao Si and Shiraishi Xuejian broke through the gods one after another.

A hundred years ago, entrusted by the late uncle, Li Ya, a descendant of the Li family, broke through the Yuanying and left the cold water with the pill.

Fifty years ago, Li Lili failed to break through the gods, and then entered the five decays of heaven and man.

There are only those who have life worries in the family, and only Li Lili is left.

West Wing, Li Lili, Zhu Xue, Fengwa's residence.

At the beginning of the rabbit's design, the residence was divided into west and east wings, the east side was for Li Yi and them, and the west side was for other people, including family members, children, and guests.

Now Li's father and mother have moved out, and Baishi has moved to live with Li Yi, originally Zhao Si also lived here for hundreds of years, and later built a courtyard next door and moved out. After all, he and Li Yiqing are the same brothers, but they have families, and it is somewhat rude to live together.

Li Lili and Zhu Xue don't need to shy away.

Feng Wa belongs to the dead skin and face.

Zhao Si walked in from next door with a familiar car, this time he did not go straight to Li Yi's residence, but came to the west room, passing by the antique corridor, you can smell the fragrance of peony flowers in the square scene, you can see the gentle atmosphere of the courtyard, and the woman's residence is not known.

The artistic conception can be described as the pinnacle.

He has always had no knowledge of the construction skills of the Taiyin Fairy, and after moving in, he knew what it meant to be ingenious, and he was superbly aware of the control of the residence and the palace.

Sometimes he imagined what the White Jade Palace in the cultivation world was.

Coming to the outside of the house, Zhao Si arched his hand and said, "Zhao Si asks to see." ”

A moment later, an old voice came from inside the room.

"Why is the fourth brother so restrained? The past is not ancient, and the present is not the present, just like the ancients spoke in our era. ”

"Times are changing, and we can't stay where we are, how long have you not been out and about?" Zhao Si asked.

"It's a retro era now, most people no longer maintain a high-tech life, and some have even returned to the ancient people in the perception of our time, back to the agrarian society."

Li Lili guessed: "For cultivation? ”

Zhao Si nodded and said, "That's right, whether to practice or not depends on material conditions, but it is not a good thing for mortals to enjoy too much at the beginning of their cultivation." Brother Yi said that mortals must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies. ”

Today's society has fallen from the original indulgence to the other extreme, destroying people and preserving heavenly principles.

There are multiple reasons for this, some say that it was because the defection awakened the society, others say that more and more people are exposed to cultivation, or it is the full popularization of artificial spiritual roots.

There are many reasons, but in the final analysis, the real prosperity of cultivation has arrived, and the aura has completely recovered, and the concentration of aura in any place is comparable to that of a spiritual vein before.

Reiki has become something that can be seen everywhere.

Zhao Si asked Li Yi why practicing would make society conservative.

'Pleasure is nature, and it is difficult for people to resist the mainstream, but everyone yearns for eternal life. Cultivation does not necessarily require suffering, but suffering certainly sharpens the mind. Otherwise, why don't you think I just give my parents a pill to break through the Yuan Baby, but let them practice slowly. ’

The monk's mind is better than things, but mortals cannot be separated from the desires of the flesh. Only a very small number of geniuses can be able to purify their hearts and desires at the beginning of their cultivation.

Therefore, there is a certain reason for the sect to retain the original inheritance method.

"You're enough now, enough is enough." Zhao Si said, "Go find Brother Yi, there's no need to hold on." ”

“……”

There was no response in the house, and Zhao Si could only shake his head and leave for a long time.

This girl is stubborn and wants to break through by her own ability. But those who don't take pills to break the mirror in the world are all geniuses among geniuses, or those who have become enlightened.

Li Lili is obviously not among them.

Zhao Si found Li Yi basking in the sun, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw him holding a rabbit to "flirt".

The sister-in-law unilaterally stuck to his brother Yi, and all kinds of body movements were provocative, like a reincarnated fox. Zhao Si was already surprised by this, and silently shifted his gaze to ignore it.

This is the daily life of his eldest brother.

The wife and children are hot on the kang, enjoying the four peerless beauties taking turns to serve, and carrying one out alone is a blessing that others can't cultivate in eight lifetimes.

It is the most ordinary white stone, and it is also a god cultivation, accompanied by a clear spirit. For the other three, it is ordinary, but it is also a powerful and powerful party in society.

Zhao Si knew that Bai Shi was only willing here, but his own cultivation was all from his own cultivation step by step, and his strength was not weak.

When the rabbit left Li Yi, he raised his head again, and Li Yi said with a light smile as always: "Little Four, your cultivation has improved again, it seems that the Holy King is hopeful." The choice made back then obviously benefited for life. ”

Back then, Zhao Si gave up cultivation and re-escaped into the mortal world, the disadvantage was that he missed the best time to practice, and the advantage was that it was possible to refine his heart and achieve great success.

"Lao Lu, that guy has started to attack the Saint King." Zhao Si said self-deprecatingly.

Some time ago, with the help of the Immortal Palace's contact with many human forces in the outside world, Lu Haochu, who had no information for nearly seven hundred years, sent back a letter.

He managed to obtain a wisp of phaseless qi and began to attack the Saint King.

"The Tao is different, and there is no need to compare."

Li Yi shook his head, and then asked as if he had expected it, "Are you for Lily's business?" ”

"You're not going to meddle?"

"There's still a chance, there's no hurry."

"But Lily, she has only fifty years left to live."

Zhao Si looked a little anxious, Li Lili was actually more familiar than him and Baishi, after all, he was the follower who followed the two of them back then, and it was Li Lili who dragged a plastic bucket to catch fish.

Zhao Si also treats her as a younger sister, and the relationship has gradually recovered in recent years.

Li Yi was still calm, just glanced at the direction of the West Room, and said, "I respect Lily's choice." ”

In 1249, the west room was lifeless, and the peonies in the courtyard withered.

Li Yi quietly walked into the courtyard, pushed open the door, and the thin figure on the bed shrunk slightly, covering the quilt tightly.

He came to the edge of the bed and sat down, gently ripped off the quilt, and his snow-white silver hair was exposed, and the age and image of the person on the bed could be guessed from the thin back.

An elderly woman.

Li Lili buried her head deeper, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, don't look at it, it's ugly." ”

Li Yi couldn't help but smile and said softly: "The eldest brother dislikes the ugly sister, get up and let me see." ”

With that, he gently lifted the quilt and helped Li Lili up from the bed.

The beautiful woman who used to be beautiful and liked to wear goose yellow dresses has turned into a wrinkled old woman.

Li Yi raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his fingertips brushed over the rough skin, like a drop of water falling, wrinkles disappeared, and white skin as white as snow appeared.

It's like a parched earth that has been moistened for a long time.

Li Yi gently picked up Li Lili and put it in front of the dresser, and the gentle woman was reflected in the simple bronze mirror.

Snow-white skin, tall and small facial features, and a pair of crystal clear pupils under the long eyelashes.

"Look, isn't that pretty?"

Li Lili covered her lips, and then hugged her brother, one of the few relatives in the world, and used the other party's chest to vent the weakness and powerlessness caused by the five decays of heaven and man, as well as the hesitation that could not break through, through tears.

The eldest brother is like a father, Li Yi gently patted her on the back, reined in the laziness of the past, and only left the sense of security and stability of the elderly.

"Cry, just cry. Monks are not heartless people, and many times they don't cry because they can't cry, and you have to rely on yourself. The world is always cruel, and you have to arm yourself to the teeth so that you can be spared. ”

"But you still have me, you can cry in my brother's arms."

Li Lili's crying became louder and louder, she had lost her concept of time, until her voice was hoarse, until she was groggy, and she stopped crying until she fell asleep completely.

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Lili woke up from her sleep, got up in a panic, and saw Li Yi sitting on the edge of her bed, and her spirit quickly relaxed.

Li Yi asked, "How did you sleep?" ”

The expression is as light as ever, there is not too much warmth, but there is also no too much distantness, it is a sparse and ordinary greeting.

Li Lili nodded slightly, and then fell silent.

The room was so quiet, and it lasted for three quarters of an hour before Li Lili slowly spoke: "Brother, I don't want to die." ”

"Okay."

Li Yi's response was concise and clear, and he reached out and patted Li Lili's head.

"You've become a god."

"Huh?"

Li Lili was stunned, and when she reacted, she felt the majestic mana in her body, and she was confused for a while.

"I ...... Am I a god? ”

"Or else?"

"That's too easy, isn't it?"

"It's not easy, it's more tiring to help you transform your gods than to pay public food."

Li Yi's face was not red or panting, and he couldn't see any tiredness, but he usually looked like this when he went to pay the public grain.

At first, I was very tired when I had to make three people, but when Li Yi got a little familiar, the tiredness became smaller and smaller.

Until now, with the addition of Baishi, Li Yi has not gasped after handing over the public grain.

Because he is stronger than he was six hundred years ago, he was not sure to help others become gods before, but now he can.

This god is not another god, and does not need to be enlightened, but relies on his own path. In this way, day and night, the probability of entering the Tao is extremely high, and its difficulty is equivalent to "the favor of heaven and earth".

"It's just that I thought you might not help my unsuccessful sister, and I thought you didn't want to help others continue their lives."

Li Lili hugged her knees, her smile weak and uneasy.

"What ...... destroy the cause and effect of life and death"

There are not a few people who beg her eldest brother to continue his life, and when he opened a clinic in the village, many people asked for help. Whether it is a dignitary or a dignitary who knows some of the situation, or a flat-headed common man who only knows medical skills, only a few have received the help of the eldest brother.

The odds are slim to none.

His eldest brother doesn't like to help others continue their lives, and once said: Life and death are fate, I can't interfere casually, and I have no obligation.

Li Lili knew that she would ask the other party for help, but she didn't want to disappoint Li Yi more than her life.

Is it appropriate for people to get something for nothing, so that their cultivation can turn into nothingness, just because they are their relatives, they can live forever?

Is this fair to all beings in heaven and earth?

In Li Yi's calm eyes, thousands of rhymes flow, and the square inch rhyme is considerable, comparable to heaven and earth.

In this way, it is no longer a simple spiritual platform and Dao heart, but a great avenue comparable to heaven and earth, completely different from the avenue of heaven and earth.

The ultimate perfection of the individual.

Isn't this exactly what I regretted at the beginning of my practice? ’

There was a click, a crisp sound, as if something was cracking, and it was as if a person had taken a step forward.

Li Yi's breathing slowed down, the change of hundreds of millions of laws, and the perfection of the ultimate Dao heart.

Gently patted Li Lili's brain, smiled lightly and lightly, and said: "The chicken dog ascends to heaven more than this, your brother and I are a layman." When others become officials, they have to engage in nepotism, and when I become an immortal, I will neither harm the world nor harm others, why can't I let you live longer? ”

"Heaven and earth can still favor those who have a destiny, why can't I?"

"If you want to live, you can live forever."

Letting the people who want to live live is something that Li Changsheng can't do, and it's something that he Li Yi can do.

Therefore, my heart is the heart of heaven, and my intention is the will of heaven.

Originally, I prepared an outline of a few thousand words for the ending a long time ago, and I paved the way for a long time, and yesterday I coded 6,000 words, but I suddenly looked back and wondered in my heart: Why is the ending so tragic, why do you have to write all the characters to death?

If written like this, what is the difference between Li Yi and Li Changsheng? The tragedy of Li Changsheng in front of me is enough, it all ends with what kind of illness do I have, just the tragedy of your family, right?

Then I deleted the outline of the ending and the 6,000 words, I want to write a cool article, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and the harem is written all the quilts, I want to write a reunion! (Provoke!! ）

(End of chapter)
