Chapter 443: That's right, I did it on purpose
Qingyue's smile was extremely infectious, and with that unexpected concluding remark, Bai Xiao only felt a slight regret and frustration in his heart, and it was swept away in an instant.
He asked with interest, "How is it beyond imagination?"
Before Qing Yue could speak, Lan Lan summed it up for her: "It's nothing more than two points, one is that she didn't expect much from your dream from the beginning. The second is that the wrong results can help us at least eliminate one wrong answer and lay the foundation for future success. Xiaobai, this is the so-called universal answer in the face of failure. Generally, when you can't find any other excuse, you use these two items to fool around, similar to praising a woman for being cute, praising a man for being gentle or honest, which means that you can't find any other words of praise. ”
After saying this, Bai Xiao just nodded and said that he knew, as Lan Lan's old friend, he had long been accustomed to Wu Zhu girl snatching words and raising the bar in front of Qingyue, and he didn't take her solemn truth to heart at all. But the group of Shengyuan teenagers and girls behind them were a little stunned when they heard it.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, why do I think Lan Lan's words seem familiar? I have often been so comforted by teachers in the academy...... Do you mean I'm good for nothing?"
"I, my ex-girlfriend also said I was a gentle person......"
"The boy I had a crush on before said I was cute, and I'm so happy!"
Yuan Wei only heard that her scalp was numb, can these people still get better?
Lan Lan casually talked nonsense, you guys actually took it seriously? Why didn't I see you so obedient and pious when the teacher gave lectures? The empire has high hopes for you people and regard them as pillars of the future...... Will the future pillars of the Shengyuan Empire be the only ones who want to see Lan Lan? !
But on the other hand, Yuan Wei couldn't help but start to recall in her heart, did anyone around her say that she was cute? It seems that there is, when the emperor summoned the Minister of Finance in the palace before, the greasy middle-aged man praised that His Majesty the Emperor gave birth to a lovely daughter...... It turned out that he didn't mean what he said at the time!
The Shengyuan people were distraught for a while, and Qingyue also explained helplessly at this time: "Indeed, as Lan Lan said, I have never expected the 'dream' in the Void Ruins. Because whatever you see can't be trusted. ”
Lan Lan shrugged: "After all, it's just a dream." In spiritism, it is also taboo to take the dreams of the deceased seriously. If the summoned spirit is not in an absolutely awake state, it can only serve as a basic envoy. ”
Qingyue agreed: "The truth is indeed the same, in fact, let alone the dead, even if it is a living person, few people can control the dream freely, what they see in the dream is mostly bizarre, and even the memory will be distorted and broken, so the information obtained from the dream is basically unusable." ”
Bai Xiao was immediately curious when he heard this: "In that case, what is the meaning of my dream? The dream itself is unreliable, isn't my dream with myself as the main body even more useless?"
"Quite the opposite. Qingyue corrected, "Fortunately, the main body is you, so this dream is believable, first of all, you are a living person, and secondly, you have done mental patience training before, even in a dream, you will not be swayed by people's will, and you can always stay awake." Therefore, the dream you have experienced has a strong reference value!"
"I see. Bai Xiao was relieved, "So specifically, what are the places worth referencing?"
Qingyue said: "It's just speculation at the moment...... First of all, my personal judgment is that the part about the power of desire in the dream should be in line with historical facts. That is to say, there is a high probability that there is really a Qi Xingshan in history, who single-handedly created a large-scale religion with a million followers, and stood out as the leader of the rebel army in the last years of the dynasty, almost touching the throne. ”
Lan Lan frowned and said, "Is it in line with historical facts? Qi Xingshan and the Dawn Sect? But among the sect members we saw in the gap before, the leader was a woman, and I didn't see any heroic qualifications. ”
Qingyue said: "This can confirm my conjecture even more. In real history, Qi Xingshan must have died tragically before reaching the top, leaving a leaderless religion to be co-opted by King Lei. ”
Lan Lan questioned again: "The premise of your inference is that Qi Xingshan does have a person, so you can't use this inference to prove the premise, right?"
Qingyue said: "Of course not, the person who proves that Qi Xingshan and the religion and willing power system he represents are undoubtedly Xiaobai. ”
Lan Lan thoughtfully: "Is it Xiaobai?"
Qingyue explained to Bai Xiao: "The content you see in the dream is limited, you may be able to see a lot of bizarre scenes that do not exist in reality, and experience many unbelievable things, but in fact, most of the content of the dream is just based on the existing memories and re-splicing, or the scaly claws of the subconscious sea. So, you won't see anything in your dreams that you don't know at all. ”
Lan Lan asked: "How do you judge 'I don't know at all'?" I used to dream of some rare beasts, which did not exist in reality, and I had never seen them, and it was even difficult to analyze the composition of these monsters after waking up from the dream. ”
Qingyue said: "Of course, it is difficult to analyze the specific things in the dream world, so my judgment criterion is not the tangible, but the intangible. To put it simply, a person will not learn new knowledge in a dream, especially a knowledge system that can only be constructed by reason. ”
Lan Lan realized: "I see, there is some truth in this explanation...... That's why you say that the power of the will is true?"
Qingyue said: "Of course, it's still the same sentence, everything is just my speculation, but I am confident that the accuracy of this speculation is not far from ten." Before Xiao Bai entered the dream realm, he did not have a deep understanding of the power of the ancients, and the limited theory only came from Zheng Liming's time-limited teaching, and most of his energy was focused on martial arts related to himself. As a relatively cold knowledge, he basically has nothing to do. But in his dreams, he saw with his own eyes the various wonders of the power of willingness, as well as the organizational structure and political ambitions of the Dawn Cult, which could not have been invented out of thin air. ”
Bai Xiao tried to recall the dream, and many details about the Dawn Sect had been blurred in his mind, but judging from the remaining traces, it was true that there was indeed a majestic edifice of knowledge there.
In just fifteen days in the dream, he had indeed heard everything about the Dawn Sect in detail, and the introducer should be Lan Lan. Before the spoils distribution conference was held in the palace hall, Lan Lan seriously introduced to him the main people who participated in the meeting, among which Qi Xingshan's role was particularly important.
According to Qing Yue's theory, Qi Xingshan seems to be indeed a conclusive historical figure?
But even if we know this, what can we do? Is there any special significance for the old man who has not been rewarded in real history?
Qingyue said: "Two points, one is that Qi Xingshan's ability and influence can reflect the strength of the Thunder King. After all, it was important that he was killed by the Thunder King's intrigue and calculation, rather than by a dignified person. ”
Lan Lan questioned: "What's the matter? The Thunder King has been hiding his true identity at that time, isn't it common for people hiding behind the scenes to use conspiracy and trickery to calculate people?"
Qing Yue explained: "What he is hiding is his identity as the last Flame King, and the identity of the Thunder King has never been hidden. This is very different from dreams, at least according to the history I know, the records of the Thunder King appeared long before the formation of the rebel tide. All the way to the supreme position, it was also crushed in a dignified manner, you also saw it when you saved Yuanwei before, the Dawn Sect was officially adopted by the Thunder King. ”
"So what?"
"So it shows that King Lei was unable to defeat Qi Xingshan on the surface at that time, and he could not use this person as the cornerstone of the throne. So as long as we understand Qi Xingshan, the biggest opponent, we can understand the Thunder King himself. It's a pity that there is very little information about the Thunder King in dreams, and I play the role of the Thunder King, which means that the dreamer has not seen the true face of the Thunder King at all. But Qi Xingshan is different, as an original character, his role in the dream is undoubtedly too heavy, so his perception of him is relatively credible. ”
Lan Lan pondered for a while and said, "I understand, so what about your conclusion?"
Qingyue said: "The Thunder King is undoubtedly very powerful, and he can let Qi Xingshan die unconsciously, this plan is worthy of the name of the King of the Millennium." If there was no Thunder King, Qi Xingshan would have been the ruler of the new dynasty and influenced an era. But on the other hand, the Thunder King is not so strong, because he has been scheming for thousands of years, and in the end, he can only use intrigue and trickery to win in the face of competitors like Qi Xingshan. ”
As she spoke, Qingyue turned her gaze to Yuan Wei and the others.
The Shengyuan people, who were still arguing over boring trivial matters, had already been invariably taken away from Qingyue's words, and they listened attentively, as if they forgot to breathe.
The history of the Elemental Dynasty has a different meaning to the Shengyuan people.
The people of the Western Continent only regard history as a kind of knowledge, but for the people of the Eastern Continent, the so-called history is a fact that actually happened on the ground under their feet. Especially the Elemental Dynasty, which was once glorious for more than 4,000 years, still affects people's clothing, food, housing and transportation to this day.
The information about the Thunder King, even if it was just a trivial scaly claw, was precious to them!
And Qingyue had no intention of concealing it at all, and seriously explained her views to them.
"To put it simply, King Thunder is also a human being, a person who conforms to all cognitive common sense, and any deification or scandalization of him in the history books is wrong. ”
Yuan Wei couldn't help but retort: "Is a person who lives for a thousand years also in line with cognitive common sense?"
"Of course, it is an abnormality to count, or rather, a king who cannot live for a thousand years is abnormal. Qingyue said, "That's the ruler of the Elemental Dynasty, what was the basis for the earliest resonance and worship of the elements by human beings? Is it a powerful power? Is it from the nature of heaven and earth? No, the most important attribute of human cognition of the elements is 'immortality', the endless sea of hope, towering at the end of the earth, reaching the border mountains of the sky, and the primordial fire that boils forever in the volcanic lava. These are immortal properties, which is why humans aspire to unite with the elements and gain the ability to exist forever. ”
Yuan Wei and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, only to feel that this cognition was completely beyond imagination.
Regarding the history of the Elemental Dynasty, these people have all dabbled in depth, and this time they came to the Flame King Court to explore, and they were even guided by a famous teacher, but even with such rich teaching resources, they never mentioned the elemental eternity that Qing Yue said.
However, Qingyue didn't start there, because it was just a minutiae.
"In fact, the power of the elements can indeed grant people the ability to live forever, but this ability has been deliberately suppressed and concealed from the beginning. ”
Yuan Wei couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"
Qingyue said: "Of course, it is the only beneficiary, it is the Flame King who has concealed the secret of immortality, monopolized all the resources, and lived for thousands of years. ”
"Really...... It's beyond imagination. ”
Qingyue said: "Thousands of years of immortality will indeed exceed many people's imagination, but I mean that optimistic imagination. Many people mistakenly think that people who have lived for thousands of years have the privilege of being almost omnipotent, but this is not the case. ”
"Isn't it?" Yuan Wei subconsciously retorted, "Living longer means accumulating longer......"
"Accumulation is also lost, and most people are in their heyday. Including the accumulation of knowledge, he is also the most knowledgeable among middle-aged people. ”
"You also said that it was young and middle-aged. Yuan Wei continued to retort, "If you have the ability to live forever, and your life is stretched to infinitely long, then maybe you will only be a young ...... for thousands of years."
Qing Yue asked rhetorically: "So young people like you, have you been able to remember everything? Will knowledge not be lost while accumulating? How many percent of the textbooks you read 10 days ago do you still remember?"
Yuan Wei was dumbfounded.
Qingyue said: "No matter how young you are, people's memory is limited, if someone can really do it, it's just that person's memory is extraordinary, and it has nothing to do with the length of life." This is true for the accumulation of knowledge, and the same is true for the accumulation of power. Even the power of the Demon Dao that we have now will continue to decline with the passage of time. For example, a demon Taoist who neglects to study and practice may lose more than half of his strength in just three or two years. ”
Speaking of which, even if Yuan Wei subconsciously resisted in her heart, reason forced her to accept the other party's judgment.
"I understand, the true strength of the Thunder King is not as expected...... What do you mean?"
Qingyue shook her head: "Wrong, I said at the beginning that King Lei is a person who conforms to common sense, and there is no such thing as unexpected." Although individual strength cannot be accumulated, the strength of the group can be accumulated, and the so-called progress of civilization lies in this. The Thunder King's personal strength should not have improved much compared to him a thousand years ago, but the resources he can control are much more than when the dynasty was first founded, so it is much easier to carry out intrigues and tricks. Qi Xingshan will die at the hands of King Lei, and the most important reason should be the gap in accumulation. The resources of the dynasty that the last Flame King could not control smoothly turned into fertile ground for new life in the hands of the Thunder King. ”
Yuan Wei didn't seem to understand, but tried to memorize these words.
Lan Lan frowned: "These inferences of yours are just based on Xiaobai's dream? It's a bit excessive, isn't it?
"Of course. Qingyue said with a smile, "I like to do a preview before I do an investigation, and I have a purpose, before I entered the Flame King Court, I knew that the so-called Thunder King was the Flame King, and of course I knew a lot about him, but my news channel was too single to fully trust." And what Xiaobai saw and heard in his dream can be regarded as an important evidence and supplement for me. Regarding the Thunder King, I think I can already construct a relatively complete personality model. ”
After a pause, Qing Yue said again: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you know the Thunder King himself, because after all, he is a long-dead person, and the two generations of elemental dynasties he established have also turned into historical dust. What I care about is inferring the living through the Thunder King. ”
When Lan Lan heard this, he was already a little impatient: "Use Qi Xingshan to infer the Thunder King, and then use the Thunder King to infer the living person, if you have this time, you can directly ask the living person, okay?"
Qingyue said helplessly: "That person has always disliked me, if I ask directly, I will be killed." ”
Lan Lan was stunned when she heard this, and only after a while did her eyes widen, and she said incredulously: "You're talking about her!? That's right, only she is worth the trouble, and she really doesn't like you all along." Whoever brings one, she is quite enthusiastic about me. ”
Now it was Qing Yue's turn to be surprised: "Have you also contacted her? It seems that the so-called tribal top secret is nothing more than that." ”
Lan Lan said: "For me, any top secret is nothing more than that...... But how bold are you counting her? ”
"It's just an academic cognition, not a calculation. I know very well that neither I nor the entire human civilization have the capital to anger her now, but on the other hand, she should not mind being understood in this way. ”
"Eh, are you sure she won't be angry when she hears that you used the Thunder King to understand her?"
"Probably, thousands of years ago, she shouldn't care, right?"
"It's so free, why don't I like you? You're playing with fire, this kind of quibble is just for unrelated people, whether she will accept it or not, I won't help you defend it then." ”
"Well, of course I don't appoint someone else when I need to defend myself, but I think it's probably something that she can't ask for to be understood gradually. The isolation that has been there is actually because we are not qualified to know and understand her......"
Hearing this, Yuan Wei and the others finally couldn't help it.
"Who the hell are you talking about?"
Qing Yue wanted to speak and stopped, but Lan Lan asked funny, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Yuan Wei was stared at by Lan Lan, and she only felt as if she was a young beast that had fallen into the predatory range of predators, and she couldn't help but tremble. But while trembling, I couldn't help but be excited.
A big secret seems to be about to be revealed before my eyes.
"Well, of course I want to know...... You deliberately said those things in front of me just to let me know, right?"
Lan Lan said: "Well, the game of hanging people's appetite is the most fun, but here in order to prevent you from regretting it, I will say the answer directly: we are talking about the patron saint of the snow mountain, that is, the so-called spirit of nature that the first person in the world has been watching out for and even fearing. ”
These words made most of the Shengyuan teenagers scratch their heads, but Yuan Wei's heart tightened.
She knew who she was talking about...... That was the source of anxiety about the Speaker's amnesty that only a few people knew.
Zhou Yu has stood on the top of the immortal tree for a hundred years, and has always been on guard against two problems. One is the invasion of demons from outside the sky, and the other is the movement of the Ancient Relic, and the most important part of the Ancient Relic's problem is about the Patron Saint.
Lan Lan saw Yuan Wei's face change, and comforted: "Don't be so afraid, the guardian spirit is not invincible, in ancient times, she was defeated by the Flame King, and then banished to the extreme north of the Western Continent." ”
"Huh?"
But this kind of shame will not fade for her even if it has passed, so let alone mention mentioning it to her, even if she knows that someone knows the secret, it is hard to guarantee that it will not anger her. At the same time, there may be some unknown weaknesses in that defeat...... And for the parties involved, anyone who knows these secrets has a potential need to kill people. ”
"So you deliberately told us that!?"
"That's why I asked, are you sure you want to know?"
"You absolutely did it on purpose!"
