Less than 10% after the catastrophe...... Zhou Fan's face was shocked, the Great Wei has seven provinces and twenty-one states, and the territory is vast, and less than one percent of the people in such a country can survive, what a shocking number.

The devastation caused by the Great Tribulation was terrible.

"Very few can survive...... Duanmu Xiaohong continued: "Actually, our Great Wei is quite good, and the neighboring two countries will change dynasties after the catastrophe. ”

"Change the dynasty......" Zhou Fan couldn't help but say: "Then why don't we take the opportunity to annex those two countries?"

"Where are there still people after the catastrophe? It's all a desolate area, and there is no one living in your own land, so the annexation you talk about is meaningless. Duanmu Xiaohong shook his head and said, "When we prosper here, the neighboring two countries will also gradually develop." ”

"And there are some things I can't tell you in detail, and you will know in the future that the seven provinces and twenty-one states of the Great Wei Dynasty are already the limit of what the officials can manage, and no matter how many places there are, we can't deal with them. ”

"The catastrophe caused such a big damage, but now few people know, is it the official family deliberately concealing it?" Zhou Fan thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes. Duanmu Xiaohong said frankly: "At least ordinary people won't know that the catastrophe is once in a thousand years, and the official family is not allowed to record this matter, otherwise in our era, it will cause a lot of panic." ”

"In fact, even most of the families who have survived the catastrophe to the present day do not know that the catastrophe is once in a thousand years, and the catastrophe occurs twice, they will only think that it is a natural disaster that happened by chance, after all, it has only happened twice since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty. ”

"How could ordinary people know about it? A thousand years is enough time for everyone to forget the enormous devastation caused by that disaster. ”

The official family deliberately concealed it and the long enough time span that even the family may not be able to know the inside story, let alone ordinary people.

"There are only two times, how can you be sure that a third time will happen?" Zhou Fan asked.

"It was the Great Wei that went through it twice, and the saints of our academy have traveled to various countries and traveled to distant countries, and there is clear evidence that the great catastrophe once in a thousand years has happened at least four times. Duanmu Xiaohong said slowly: "The ancient Buddhist scriptures of the Great Buddha Temple also recorded the great calamity. ”

"The Great Tribulation is once in a thousand years, and it has never been missed, but the exact time cannot be confirmed, but it is fast, and it is estimated that it will be these years. ”

"Is it only a few years?" Zhou Fan said to himself with a heavy face: "Mr. Big, no one knows what this catastrophe is?"

Duanmu Xiaohong shook his head firmly and said: "If you knew, then you wouldn't have died so many people, every catastrophe is different, this catastrophe should not be the same, if you know, we won't hide it from people of your level, we can only make all the preparations we can imagine." ”

"Even if these preparations are made, they may not be useful......"

"That Great Wei can survive two catastrophes, does it have any special means?" Zhou Fan asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

The other two countries have changed dynasties, which shows that the casualties are more serious than those of the Great Wei, why can the Great Wei survive two times?

"Because there is the Big Buddha Temple, because there is our academy, and because there is the Li royal family. Duanmu Xiaohong gave the answer.

It's just that it's too vague, Zhou Fan doesn't understand very well, is it possible that these three forces have such a deep heritage?

"When I talk to you about the Great Tribulation, I want to ask you, what will you do if the Great Tribulation comes?"

Duanmu Xiaohong's words interrupted Zhou Fan's thoughts, and Zhou Fan raised his head and said with a puzzled expression: "Why would Mr. Big ask like this? If the catastrophe comes, of course you will find a way to survive." ”

Isn't that something to be taken for granted?

"If you have the ability to save the entire Great Wei, and it happens that you need to sacrifice your own life to do so, are you willing to sacrifice your life to save the Great Wei?" asked Duanmu Xiaohong.

Zhou Fan laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Big said that he was funny, where could I have this ability?"

"I'm just assuming, what are you afraid of?" Duanmu Xiaohong said as he stared at Zhou Fan's face.

Zhou Fan was silent for a moment and said, "If your wife and mother fall into the river, you are just an ordinary person, which one will you save?"

"I don't have a wife. Duanmu Xiaohong was slightly stunned and said: "But if it's just a hypothesis, of course I am the mother who saves myself, the people's filial piety comes first, without my mother, there will be no me, and my wife will definitely agree to me doing this, and after I serve my mother to death, I will use my death to repay my wife." ”

"......" Zhou Fan: "Then I'll change it, if your teacher and mother fall into the river, the teacher I'm talking about is just an ordinary person, and you are just an ordinary person, which one will you save?"

Zhou Fan became a teacher because he was a teacher for one day and a father for life.

"I will still save my mother, otherwise if I save the teacher, he will be so angry that he will beat me to death, he will be ashamed of having an unfilial person like me, and then wipe his neck and commit suicide. Duanmu Xiaohong said solemnly: "I can't be sorry for the teacher's words and deeds, but the teacher did die because I didn't save him, and I will take the responsibility of taking care of the teacher's family or clansmen......"

Zhou Fan was speechless.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Duanmu Xiaohong asked again.

"For such a question, in fact, it is not the last step, no one knows how he will choose ......" Zhou Fan said helplessly: "But if I am forced to say an answer, I should not be so noble, and I will be willing to sacrifice my life to save the whole country." ”

"What if I change the country to your relatives?" Duanmu Xiaohong said slowly.

"I don't think it's as difficult to save my loved ones as it is to save a country. Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "I am willing to do everything to save my relatives, including my own life." ”

Duanmu Xiaohong was silent and didn't speak, just stared at Zhou Fan quietly.

"Wouldn't I be disappointed when I say this, Mr. Big?" Zhou Fan broke the silence and said, he felt that Duanmu Xiaohong should have a refined meaning when asking such a question.

In his mind, according to Duanmu Xiaohong's answer, he should be willing to sacrifice his life to do such a thing.

Duanmu Xiaohong laughed out loud, but unfortunately his laughter was only heard by Zhou Fan, and he smiled: "The teacher said that he is called a saint, but in fact he is also selfish, there is no real selfless person in the world, and if he is a human being, he will have selfishness." ”

"Sacrifice is worthy of admiration and praise, but what's wrong with others choosing to survive?"

"Even if that person survives, will it cause many people to die?" Zhou Fan couldn't help but say.

"Why do you say harm, they weren't killed by you. Duanmu Xiaohong said solemnly: "There are many people who die every day in the world, and how many people are willing to exchange their lives for a stranger to survive?"

"Our academy advocates benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and faith, but it has never required disciples to sacrifice their lives in exchange for others to survive, whether they are willing to do it, whether it is worth doing or not, it depends on your own heart. ”

"Mr. Big, why are you asking me such a question?" Zhou Fan said with a bitter smile, he didn't like to listen to these high-sounding truths.
