Chapter 51: Grass and Fish and Man
Lu Lao Dao told the past and sighed, and the three disciples listened to the story and felt something.
The old Taoist elder let out a sigh of relief, smacked his slightly dry mouth, and Xiao Azi cleverly poured a cup of tea and handed it to the master.
Li Changan glanced at Xiao Ah Zi and said in his heart, no wonder the master would be willing to officially accept Ah Zi as a registered disciple.
As a member of the Spirit Race, he has never had a grudge against the Terrans.
With this favorability and her own cleverness, it was only a matter of time before it turned around.
Gongsun Tuo stared at his round eyes and opened his mouth, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and said in a sneering voice, "It turns out that our Wuji Immortal Mountain is so powerful, that mountain pioneer is really amazing!"
After the shock, the fool was still at a loss, and asked, "But, Master, what does this have to do with our Terran monks helping the Dragon Clan?"
Wuji Immortal Mountain has suppressed demons twice before and after, Li Changan has heard Lu Laodao say it before, and he has also secretly analyzed it.
Estimating the narrative of the master pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, he couldn't tell it clearly when it came to tomorrow, so he smiled and said, "Master, why don't you listen to the apprentice's thoughts?"
Lu Laodao drank all the tea, stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.
Li Changan said: "Senior brother, are you wondering why the lives of our Terran monks are so unworthy to help the enemy who should not be helped. ”
Gongsun Tuo nodded, and Ah Zi, who didn't really understand the reason on the side, also nodded.
Li Changan continued: "Actually, the warning left by the nine Immortal Court True Monarchs warned the Terran cultivators not to destroy the other races for two reasons.
One is for the livelihood of the common people, so as to avoid more wars for the suffering of human beings, but more importantly, it is for the sake of the human race;
If the Terran monks have just learned some skills, they go around crusading against the various races, which will inevitably cause the hatred of the already powerful races.
At that time, it will only be the Terrans who will be destroyed.
In addition, our Immortal Master True Monarch Heavenly Ancestor, the reason why he tried his best to help the demon clan back then, was also for two reasons.
First, if the demon clan slaughters the demon race, the next one, or the next group of people who suffer, will be our human race;
The lips were dead and the teeth were cold, and the strongest demon clans at that time were almost wiped out, not to mention the other clans.
It is precisely because the demon clan is strong that even if the demon clan is defeated, there will be no few losses.
Taking advantage of his illness and asking for his life, if you don't take it down and seal it down at this time, and wait for it to slow down, it will be too late.
Second, the Demon Emperor promised that if the Terrans helped each other, the descendants of the Demon Clans would be driven by the Terran monks.
The Demon Emperor made a blood oath that the Terrans could make them submit without having to fight, which was a great thing.
Only in this way can we Terran monks have enough time to recuperate and thrive.
To sum up, it is twelve words: steady and not wavelong, slow development, not king, and live long. ”
Cough it up...
Li Changan laughed dryly and added: "In short, this time in the battle of the three clans in the northern border, the dragon clan asked our human race monks for help, and the reason is not much different from the reason why the demon clan asked for help back then. ”
Li Changan said, Gongsun Tuo thought carefully for a while, showed a look of sudden realization, looked at his senior brother with starry eyes, and admired it more and more.
Ah Zi didn't understand it at all, but, whatever, anyway, what Xiao Changan said was what he said, nodding and smirking, that's right.
After all, Lu Laodao is here for many years, although he is upright and does not understand checks and balances and expedient strategies, he also smacked the meaning of what the big apprentice said. couldn't help but cast a happy and slightly doubtful look at Li Changan.
In other words, why didn't you find out that your apprentice was so wise before?
"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, tsk..."Lu Laodao tasted the product carefully, and felt more and more that this word was very vivid, and it was very meaningful.
"The Northern Sword Sect has two major sects that enter the Tao with swords, [Jinghong Island] and [Ling Jue Mountain];
Jinghong Island and Lingjue Mountain are close to each other, and they are about less than a million zhang apart, just south of the Rakshasa Sea.
This Rakshasa Sea is the largest sea in the north, and further north, it is one of the four demon lords, the boundary of the snow demon lord - the Arctic Abyss;
To the west, there is the corpse mountain of the silk (corpse) tribe and the ghost tribe's Netherworld Valley. ”
Li Changan frowned.
Snow Demon Lord, the Arctic Abyss... Like, somewhere have you heard it.
Lao Dao drank another cup of tea from Ah Zi, smacked his lips, and continued: "This Rakshasa Sea is equivalent to separating the two major sword sects of the demon clan, the corpse clan, the ghost clan and the human race.
According to the lip that Chang'an said... If the Rakshasa Sea is dominated by those two clans, the two sword sects will not be good.
In fact, if it's really just a corpse and a ghost, it's not afraid. I'm afraid..."
At this point, Lao Dao suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by outsiders, and whispered:
"All the mountains and sects are estimating, and the northern demon clan will take advantage of the chaos if they don't get it right. When the time comes, whether the two major sword sects can carry the demon clan or not, it is difficult to say. ”
Gongsun Tuo and Ah Zi were very cooperative, their faces were serious, they nodded vigorously, and they also showed a worried look on their faces.
I don't understand at all, Ah Zi, a little grass spirit who doesn't understand at all and doesn't understand what kind of emotion worry is, is worrying about something.
Looking at the master and apprentice who was serious and worried about the world's major affairs, Li Changan's head was densely covered with black lines, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Master, are you still afraid of being listened to by others? This has already spread all over the peaks, don't you hear it yourself. ”
"Oh, yes, yes. Lu Laodao breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really tiring to know what is hidden. It feels much better to say it, and there are more people who know it, so it's not a secret.
That's right, that's the reason.
Lu Laodao nodded in self-affirmation, and hummed. Then, he took out the bag of Zhongpin Spirit Stones that he had just exchanged from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Li Changan.
The grade and size of the spirit stone are all standard. Therefore, the medium-grade spirit stones exchanged for are no different in shape and size except for the difference in color and luster.
Li Changan put the bag containing the medium-grade spirit stone into his sleeve, and saw Lao Dao fiddling with the other bag in his hand.
"Master, what is this bag?"
"Well, a batch of scrap that the deacon of the Kaishan has just brought back. In the past, Wei Silk would also ask for some, which would be used to refine ordinary pills for mortals in the world.
No, I just happened to be in a hurry today, so I got a little more. Wei Si plans to open a few more furnaces and refine more pills that ordinary people have eaten to strengthen their bodies. ”
Lu Laodao is now a little bit of a Taoist by his own apprentice, and he already understands a lot of truths that he couldn't think of before.
For example, [most mortals think, and most of the goods sent are not good.] Therefore, it is better to sell the pill than to give it away. If you really want to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, it is better to refine more. ]
Li Changan took the bag in his master's hand, grabbed a handful of spirit stone waste, and looked at it carefully.
They are all small fragments that are not formed, and the content of mineral impurities is extremely high, and there are very few crystals containing spiritual power.
"Master, how is this priced?"
"Price?" Lu Laodao looked disapproving, "What price?"
This kind of waste material is of little use, if it weren't for the fact that there were many new disciples in the sect in recent years, these waste materials would be discarded in Lingshi Mountain, and it would be a waste of energy to transport them back to the mountain gate. ”
"Why?" Li Changan's eyes jumped suddenly, bright.
"Even the lowest Dan furnace disdains to use this kind of waste. The disciples of each peak who have just learned the Dan Dao are using these to practice their hands.
Oh, if it is in good condition, cut it into thin slices and make it into runes.
It is longer than the yellow paper symbols, cloth symbols, and bamboo symbols that are preserved. However, it is not as good as the jade talisman.
This jade talisman is easy to use, but it seems too expensive..."
Lu Laodao was still chattering non-stop, Li Changan quickly stuffed the bag in his hand into the Qiankun bag, and said hurriedly:
"Master, hurry, go to the Hall of All Things again, this kind of waste, how much you want.
If it's a stopper, you can transport it back as much as you can in the future. If you don't get along the way, even if you count the carriage and horse fare, let's see if it's worth it. ”
"Oh, look at you, it's okay just now. What kind of wind are you smoking? What are you doing in a hurry?
Lu Laodao was picked up by his apprentice, and came to the outside of the bamboo house in three or two steps.
I was stunned that I hadn't learned to make immortal clouds yet, otherwise, Li Changan would have already thrown his master on the clouds and sent him directly to Tiangong Peak.
After the old road flew away, Li Changan couldn't wait to rush to the lakeside waterwheel.
poured out all the waste materials in the bag, crushed the mana into extremely tiny granules, and pulled out a few nets made of bamboo clothes and woven extremely finely from the Qiankun bag;
He also took several [Fixing Talismans] made of bamboo pieces, placed them in them, and sent them into the wooden barrel of the waterwheel with the art of imperial objects.
"Ah Zi, intercept the flow and irrigate. ”
"Here we are. ”
Ah Zi drank softly, raised his hand, and saw that the roaring waterfall was intercepted into a pool of water and poured into the groove on the top of the waterwheel.
In the blink of an eye, the waterwheel turned happily again.
Li Changan had already found a small paper notebook at some point, and used a homemade pencil to record the start time of quenching this batch of waste materials and the number of wooden barrels put in.
In this way, if the master can still get the waste materials and quench them in the barrel, he will not make the wrong batch and miscalculate the time.
After finishing everything, I sat on the grass and estimated how to make this businessless business bigger and stronger.
"Little Tuotuo, what's wrong with you?"
On the side, Ah Zi asked softly. Li Changan turned his head and saw Gongsun Tuo, who was holding his hands behind his back with a sad face on the edge of the lake, shaking his head from time to time, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and his face was a little angry.
"Little Tuotuo, why are you unhappy, senior sister will play with you. ”
Gongsun Tuo shook his head again, and sighed old-fashionedly.
"What do you think?"
Gongsun Tuo turned his head to look at the most perfect man in his heart, thought for a while, and said, "Senior brother, I can understand what you said." Can...
But I still can't figure it out, why do we Terrans want to help those demons?!
The Immortal Master True Monarch said that he would not destroy the alien race, so he just left it alone. Why do you want to help, let them fend for themselves, can't they?
Anyway, if the corpse clan and the ghost clan dared to attack the Terran Sword Sect. The monks of the world will definitely not abandon their fellow clans, and they will not sit idly by. ”
Li Changan stood up, looked at Gongsun Tuo, and went through it carefully in his heart.
The family was slaughtered by demons and demons, and the resentment of the alien and the alien race can be understood. In other words, Li Changan himself could not be upright and focus on the overall situation.
"You're right. Li Changan walked up to Gongsun Tuo's side and said in a gentle tone:
"It's none of my business, hang high. What does the affairs of other races have to do with our human race?
We can do nothing and watch them kill each other. Whether we live or die is not up to us. ”
Gongsun Tuo nodded from time to time, Li Changan smiled indifferently, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Do you see that the grass on the mountain has nothing to do with the fish in this lake?"
Gongsun Tuo thought about it and nodded blankly, and Li Changan said again: "There are rabbits in the mountains, and rabbits eat grass;
One day, the rabbit fell into the lake and drowned, and its body was slowly decomposed by the tiny creatures at the bottom of the lake, which in turn were devoured by the fish.
So, the grass in the mountains feeds the rabbits, and the rabbits indirectly feed the fish, and the fish go into our stomachs.
In other words, it is the grass on the hill that feeds the man. Do you think that makes sense?"
Gongsun Tuo seemed to be caught in a thorny problem, looking at the woods on the top of the mountain from time to time, looking at the lake in front of him from time to time, and bowing his head in contemplation from time to time.
Li Changan was not in a hurry to urge him, but just stood quietly aside.
After thinking about it for a quarter of an hour, Gongsun Tuo finally let out an exclamation and said, "Senior brother, what you just asked about is the relationship between grass and fish.
But in the end, you talked about grass and people.
Is it grass and fish, grass and man, or grass and fish and man?"
Li Changan: .........
So... Excellent ability to review questions, it is really condescending not to take the college entrance examination.
Rubbing his temples, Li Changan smiled directly.
Bootstrap method, fail!
