Shang Luo got out of the car by himself, and the Jinyi guards at the gate of Yuxi Palace looked at each other and raised their hands first—they didn't know what had happened before, and they didn't know what Shang Luo had gotten.

Shang Luo took out the key to Yuxi Palace.

The two men looked at each other again. In fact, they had already been prepared in their hearts, because Dao Ancestor only saw him alone except for Zhu Xianen. Today is the first time Shang Luo has come alone, and this is a historic moment.

Without hesitation, the two of them let this historic event happen: outside of His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven, Shang Luo wanted to meet the Feixuan True Monarch, the Loyal and Filial Emperor Emperor, the Wanshou Emperor, and the Sun Emperor of the Sun Palace Taidan Yanguang Yuming alone.

They immediately moved out of the way and let Shang Luo in.

Shang Luo, who had white hair, went in, and the two of them looked at each other again - it really happened. This is how the moment of history came quietly and without warning.

Shang Luo also used the key to open the door of Yuxi Palace, only to find out that Zhu Xianene was not here.

"Ah, Dao Ancestor?" He leaned against the door and peeked inside. Without Zhu Xianene by his side, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Come in. I won't entertain you for tea, so I'll move a stool and sit down. ”

Shang Luo lifted his stool—he was the only one in the empty hall. The Dan furnace above was burning, and there was still one in the vat. Although Daozu treated him well, he only felt a little chilly after only staying here for a while.

"Sit down next to the Dan furnace, it's warm over there."

In the empty hall, Shang Luo carried his stool to the Dan Majesty and put the stool next to the Dan furnace. It's a lot warmer here.

"I once had a grandson. At that time, he was called Xiao Shizi by others, and I loved him and sent a capable Feng Bao to be his big companion. I brought him some food and some clothes, but I rarely hugged him. Then one day, he stood in front of the door with King Yu and Princess Yu, and he pulled Princess Yu's sleeve and hid behind. My grandson, I'm afraid of me. Oh, and when I got acquainted with it, I realized that he was looking for a place to block the wind because the ice bucket in Yuxi Palace was too cold. ”

"Cough" Shang Luo almost didn't hold on, he knew that he was talking about Emperor Wanli when he was a child.

"Is the air conditioner on outside? The air conditioning was pretty big. ”

"Lan Fang's habit is like this. They all turned the air conditioning to the maximum, all day and night. ”

"We had our troubles at that time, but also our convenience. At that time, it was just as cool to use an ice bucket, and you could also ice some melons and fruits on the ice bucket. I don't feel the need to install air conditioning, because I have ice buckets. I don't need any washing machines, I have a hundred and ten people who do laundry. I don't need a radio, I don't need a TV, because TV is nothing more than a troupe. I watched Yan Song, Yan Shifan, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng fight in the ring every day, which was much more interesting than the troupe - do you think, is this interesting? ”

"It's kind of fun to the people who look at it. For the people in the play, it's not so interesting. The same is true for washing machines, it is convenient to have someone to wash your own clothes, but it is not so fun to help someone do their laundry. ”

"So. I called you here to tell you something less interesting. When I saw how cold you came in, I remembered that little boy. There are some things that shouldn't be told to you at this age. I also wanted to wait until you were 20 years old to let you know. But it's a pity that the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. ”

"Is it because of Rome?"

"The affairs of Rome are, after all, the affairs of the outside." Dao Zu dismissed Shang Luo's speculation, "However, the changes in Rome are also an opportunity—an opportunity for you to know about this matter. What I'm going to say is the inner thing, and the most important thing at the moment, the heavenly thing. ”

"You're talking about the spirit stones on the moon?"

"What do you think of those spirit stones?" Daozu asked him.

"Eh" Shang Luo thought for a moment, "The rocket program has been going smoothly, and I think we will definitely be able to land on the moon in my lifetime." When I have more professional knowledge, I also want to get involved and go to the moon to dig a shovel of spirit stones for everyone. I think that's a good thing. ”

"But, not enough." Dao Zu gave a straightforward answer.

Inadequate. Two cold words fell.

Not enough - this word even made Shang Luo a little unfamiliar. Living in this good era of "taking pleasure with swallows, being drunk and full", where there is almost no scarcity, he has not heard the word "enough" for a long time.

Although he had encountered someone like Lu Liang who had worked hard to cultivate but failed to make any progress, Shang Luo still helped them solve their urgent needs as soon as possible.

But for now. Shang Luo also knew that troublesome problems might be waiting ahead.

"Not enough." He repeated, "What degree is not enough?" Isn't the total amount enough? ”

"The total amount is enough. But there was not enough time. Even if there is a water dragon to communicate with heaven and earth, and a spaceship to communicate with the earth and the moon, that amount of mining is simply not enough for the billions of trillion Li people in Jinnai. The total amount is enough, and sooner or later it will be enough, but it will take at least 120 years for everyone to enter the realm of heaven and man. In other words."

Dao Ancestor's voice paused:

"You know what that means, right? This means that once we start distributing spirit stones, we will have to face a difficult choice: we will decide who will die. The rooster cries Wanliming, and the world is white with a dawn horn. The moment before the world is white, before the alternation of yin and yang, it is the coldest time. The imperial court was not ready to deal with it. ”

"Imperial court, do you know this?"

"The court knew all this, but they took my warnings as deaf ears. The birth of the unicorn made them dizzy with joy, they thought that an era of 'technological explosion' was coming, and they could shorten the twists and turns of 120 years through technology. ”

“.” Shang Luo was silent, not knowing what to say for a while. As you can imagine, this will inevitably lead to unprecedented changes. The word "want" will return to all people, and this time it will be more cruel than ever: many will watch the gates of eternal life close before their eyes and fall into the darkness before dawn.

"So, what do you think?"

Shang Luo still thought for a while: "With my knowledge, it is still too difficult to answer this question. If we start planning, there will inevitably be people who sadly and sadly can't catch up with the arrival of the spirit stone and die early. But if we don't mine, everyone will die. It was a difficult decision."

"So, what do you think should be done?"

"I don't know. But I know one thing, mining must be mined. However, the timing of mining, the method of mining, and the distribution of spirit stones all need to be carefully studied. Our prosperity has not come easily, and I don't want to see it all shattered in front of me. ”

"That's what I'm going to tell you about. The cabinet, and the entire Ming Dynasty, was not ready. This is our catastrophe. As long as they can get through this - the arrival of the Kirin Zi makes it impossible for them to see clearly, but I am glad that the Kirin himself can see it clearly. The thing that asked you to ponder and ponder the spirit net before was to let you practice your hands. It's just that the catastrophe on the Roman side has come, and in order to prevent the catastrophe from happening here, I have to let you think about these difficult questions in advance to help me think of a way, and I sometimes want to provide you with a few bottles of milk. ”
