Chapter 658: Luck
If Fan Zeng and Li Shiqi were twenty or thirty years younger, their knowledge would definitely be no worse than Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, but their heyday of energy was spent in the era of the Six Kingdoms strife, and the imprint on their bodies was too deep, and they couldn't grasp the pulse of the times, and they couldn't become first-class strategists after all.

When it comes to martial arts practice, this is even more so, although there are various realms of celestials, real people, gods, and saints, the same realm depends on the length of the cultivation time, but this time is not as long as possible, time may make the combat skills and experience of facing the enemy become exquisite and rich, but there is no inevitable benefit to the improvement of the realm.
For example, thirty years of cultivation in a heavy realm is enough, and exceeding this limit is a waste of time, there is a way that 'fists are afraid of being less strong', and the heyday of martial arts practice must be when the energy is full, the so-called 'late bloomer', a person does not become famous and start a family until he is seventy to eighty, there is a problem of historical opportunity, but that is for people like Jiang Taigong who have really made achievements. Some people are unknown when they are prosperous, the stars of the same era are shining, a hundred schools of thought are contending, and they are about to become famous suddenly, like a Taoist master, this is a fallacy that does not understand the nature of life, old age, sickness, and death, Ruan Ji said, 'There is no hero at the time, so that the erector becomes famous', and the title of Taoist master is dedicated to the mediocre old people at will, isn't it a great humiliation?
Emperor Jun's heyday was when he defeated the head of the eight ancient gods, the god Xingtian, to win the throne of the god king, and then married Xihe and Changxi, and divided the two stars of the sun and the moon into the territory of the gods.
After he fled to the heavenly realm, he joined the Feather Clan and defended the Milky Way, and finally resisted the attack of the Dragon Clan, which was also indispensable.
After the death of the ancestral dragon, the dragon clan was divided, although the five dragon emperors successively established a powerful unified dynasty, the power flame was not as good as before, not only did not pose a threat to the god race, but also negotiated peace many times, and even bowed down to the ministers.
At this time, the Heavenly Emperor Jun was still the nominal Supreme of the Three Realms, although the Protoss had long since separated from morality, the Four Great Heavenly Venerables and the Eight Great Protoss were cultivating their own forces, and the factional battles were very fierce.
Emperor Jun can rely on only his ten golden crow princes, and after the rise of the human race, the pattern of the three realms has changed dramatically, although the demon race, the dragon race, and the god race have all noticed this growing race, but the weak body of the human race has successfully confused them, although there are three emperors and five emperors succession, hard work, and holy kings, for a long time, the three races have never regarded humans as a powerful opponent. Even though there are a few far-sighted people who have seen the excellent intelligence and artifact-making ability of human beings, most of these worries are unfounded, and they are similar to jokes.
In fact, until the time of the Great War of the Ten Thousand Races, human beings were only forced to fight for a chance to survive, except for a few prophetic saints, I am afraid that few human beings would dream of one day overpowering the dragons, demons, and gods to become the masters of the Three Realms.
In other words, from the beginning, the change of prosperity and decline is an eternal and unchanging law in the universe, not that the human race is strong enough, but the god race, the dragon race, and the demon race have not escaped their own fate from prosperity to decline.
In the past years, the war of ten thousand races, the demon clan had six demon gods, the dragon clan had twelve evil dragons, the god clan had ten golden crows, the flood beasts swept the flat land, and the crops were scorched and dried in ten days, and the red land was thousands of miles, which was really an unprecedented crisis. Later generations admired Yao and Shun above the three emperors and five emperors, but at that time, human beings faced a crazy attack by the alliance of ten thousand races led by dragons, demons, and gods, and it was time for life and death. Yao Shun is not just two human saint kings, but represents many people with lofty ideals who are not afraid of violence and seek to survive, and represents an era of bright stars and glorious freedom.
Not only Confucianism praises Yao Shun, but also Mohists, Legalists, and Taoists all praise Yao Shun's achievements, which can be said to be imprinted with the common memory of Zhongxia.
Although there are elements of myths and legends in this, like the ten-day outing, the flood and the beast, it is beyond the cognition of ordinary people. From the perspective of personnel alone, it can also be seen from the records in the book that Yao Shun's generation is conscientious, bright and handsome.
In later generations, when politics developed, people were accustomed to redundant officials and redundant personnel, corruption, corruption, and superficiality, which was a sign of the decline of human organizations. There is always a process of rise and fall of things, and corruption is an unstoppable companion creature, but when a person is thriving and prosperous, it is always more angry and less corrupt, otherwise, it is impossible to create a good situation.
Therefore, to judge whether a historical era is good or bad, we have to observe whether it is prosperous or decaying, and see whether it is more angry than corrupt, or dead and rotten.
Confucius said, 'People can promote the Tao, not the Tao', how many races in the world can not be recovered, the four spirits are mixed into the demon race, the dragon race is defeated in the * sea, even if the human race itself, there are races and countries that are extinct and disappear in the long river of the universe.
Although there are changes in the universe, many times what awaits after decline is destruction, and there is rarely a time when dead wood is spring. 'Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again', but what grows again is a completely new individual, and although there is a layer of blood ties in the middle, the life course is completely different. Succession and resurrection are two different things altogether.
Expanding to personnel, Egypt, Babylon, and Greece, the so-called ancient civilizations, have all entered the ranks of extinction, although these states still exist, they are already doves occupy magpies' nests, and have little connection with the culture and race of ancient times.
Zhongxia has a long history, and there are countless overlapping country names, such as the five dynasties of Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou, but it has nothing to do with the previous state.
Gu Tinglin said, 'There is a dead country, there is a dead world, change the surname to change the name, it is called the dead country, benevolence and righteousness are full, and as for the beasts and cannibalism, people will eat each other, which is called the death of the world'.
Changing dynasties is a common thing in history, and dynasties can also be said to be a kind of living organism, depending on whether the maintenance is appropriate, but just like the birth, aging, sickness and death of human beings, no matter how they are adjusted, they will always inevitably die.
For decades or hundreds of years, people are afraid that their children will die, on the one hand, it is the sustenance of feelings, on the other hand, it is the continuation of blood, and it is a very vicious curse to cut off children and grandchildren.
People also hope that the dynasty will last longer, change the dynasty, social turmoil, and it is always the common people who suffer, and the longer the time, the people can live a more stable life.
The ancients said, 'A dynasty has good luck'. There is an irreversible element of luck, and this is the trend of historical prosperity and decline. There is a saying, 'It is better to be a peaceful dog than to leave people in chaos'. In what era you are born, this is something you can't do with the Lord, and the situation is formed long before you are born. For example, Zhuge Liang and Ming Sizong were both born at the end of the decline of a dynasty, and it was difficult to turn things around even if they put in several times the effort.
