Chapter 143: A Journey Through the Sea of ​​Bitterness (10)

It's hard for Zhang Xing to explain what kind of emotion he is in, whether he is mocking or pitying, or simply pity... Even thinking about it further, he, the third son of the northern wilderness who lives by making ice, has no right to treat a famous family The patriarch and grand master pointed out that his life was wonderful enough.

However, there is no doubt that he has feelings for this great master with the same surname enough to sigh in his heart.

As for the reason, it couldn't be more obvious-this grand master surnamed Zhang is on the right path, no matter whether it is a mistake or a sense of the so-called illusory providence, this man who fought in the early years and abandoned it in middle age Wu Congwen and the great masters who created their foundations in their later years all chose the broadest and most promising path among all the great masters.

Comparing the two worlds, we can see that this world really lacks a teacher who can teach without distinction.

You don't care how many such merits and virtues Qing Emperor has done ignorantly, even if you take ten thousand steps back, you were born in this era when the aristocratic family was transitioning to the poor family, as long as you get rid of the Zhang family's barriers and go out, If one is taught without discrimination, and the popularization of practice and culture is pushed to a certain level, no matter what, there is a god waiting next to Lord Qingdi or Lord Baidi, right?
Not to mention, the world really lacks a teacher who can master hundreds of schools and combine civil and military.

You sum it up and sort it out, and then three thousand Dacheng disciples will spread all over the world, and the Supreme is not afraid to think about it, okay?

But the truth is, this great master was bound by his clan, birth, hometown, and region after all, so he didn't take a step forward, so that the golden road was at his feet, but he still missed it. up.

Among the 600 people, first of all, more than 200 children with the surname Zhang are too many;

Secondly, among the more than 100 poor families, there must be a majority of the so-called poor families with heads and faces;

In the end, regardless of the world, it is certain that there are more descendants of Jin who are named after the place where the Great Jin originated, and it is impossible to overcome the narrow regional concept of these days.

It can only be said, "Yuanzhang", "Yuanzhang"...you can't even go out of Wenxi County, so how far is it?
Of course, things can always be reversed. If you can't foresee it, how difficult is it to take that step?
Let me have two hectares of land in Luoyang, why should I wear the seal of the six kingdoms?

No wonder it takes troubled times, even times of great strife, to have the opportunity to break barriers, transform into a dragon, and become supreme... On the one hand, there may be something to do with the vitality of heaven and earth; Had to do something pioneering.

Zhang Xing had mixed feelings, but he didn't give any advice. He rested quietly on the mountain for a few days. Apart from writing to Bai Yousi and Dongdu to report Liu Wenzhou's related matters, he just got to know these students better. A few books and a little knowledge.After a few days, when the huge west patrolling team came from the lower reaches of the Fenshui River, Zhang Shijing, who was said to be the old friend of Bai Hengqiu's father, finally couldn't wait, and took the initiative to urge Zhang Xing and others to leave.

Zhang Laosan is an ice maker, how dare he say more?In turn, he urged the somewhat reluctant Jin Wuwei, the two father-in-laws and Zhou Xingfan to embark on the road to the north.

In the evening of the same day, the group arrived at Zhanghuai Village, where Zhang's ancestral home in the northernmost part of Wenxi was located, and stayed there.On the second day, Zhang Xing wanted to inspect the big pagoda tree that was nearly [-] feet high and the thickness of an ordinary house, and did some research, but Zhang Shijing was obsessed with officials, kept urging, and abruptly disturbed the matter, which was also very annoying. have no choice.

In the end, the team arrived in Linfen on the eighth day of September, and then rejoined the western tour team on the tenth day.

And Zhang Shijing finally got the official position he dreamed of - Deputy Envoy of Fenyang Palace.

This son of a famous family, recommended by the great master, an old friend of Zai Zhi, an old man in his 60s and [-]s, has become the deputy of the lucky man Wang Daiji, a mere sixth-rank, the same rank as the ordinary black ribbon, almost didn't make Zhang Xing laugh out loud Come.

Of course, what happened to Zhang Shijing was just an episode.

Probably because he knew that there were still more than three months of tour life, which belonged to the kind that could not be provoked or avoided, Zhang Xing gave up early on to show off in the team, and instead added a little new fun to himself. He began to study "Yi Jin" After exploring the Sutra, some messy things came up.

"So, long before Trinity Orthodox Church was established, witches, demons, and humans could intermarry?" In the second half of September, the team arrived in Taiyuan and took a short rest. As soon as they found a place to live, Zhang Xing started the routine. The general education course study. "Can you have a baby?"

"Absolutely." Under the lights, Li Ding replied a little irritably, he was almost annoyed to death by the other party these days.

The main reason is that Zhang San's recent questions are extremely extreme.

Either it is the kind of nonsense question that anyone with knowledge reserves can answer, or it is a question that can't be answered even if the gods come, but every question can be repeated repeatedly. It depends on the data...you should make bold assumptions about academic research, and be careful to prove it.

It made Li Silang's head buzzing.

Qin Bao and Zhou Xingfan actually thought that Brother Zhang was a bit too much, but Universal did not dare to show his emotions like Li Ding.

As for Bai Yousi, he escaped perfectly along the way, and it was rare to come here after settling in Taiyuan today, but he seemed very interested.

"Can you give me an example?" Zhang Xing asked earnestly.

"Let me think about it..." Li Ding hesitated to speak, but couldn't think of it for a while.

"Qian Yi and Li Yue." Bai Yousi, who was sitting on the railing outside drinking, blurted out. "Don't forget, Qian Yi was born in Heshuo, next to the poisonous desert, and is a mixed race of human race and witch race; and although Li Yue is the orthodox heroine of Eastern Chu, she only has the most blood of the demon race."

"So, human liches don't have any reproductive isolation, it's more like a slight racial difference." Zhang Xing continued seriously, while continuing to diverge. "But if that's the case, where is the difference between the human race and the Lich race? It's just the skin color, eye color, and hair color that make the difference?"

"No." Li Ding sighed resignedly, put down his teacup and answered seriously. "The most obvious difference is actually in cultivation and physique... The monster clan's physique is very poor, but the first stage of cultivation is extremely easy. Many monster clans with clan inheritance are already born with a foundation-building body, and they can easily reach the general level. However, starting from the Rendu Second Meridian of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it suddenly became difficult, so that the Yaozu called the Rendu Second Meridian as Tianguan; compared with it, it is extremely difficult for the Witch Clan to practice. , but even if they don’t practice, as long as their ordinary people do daily exercise, they are enough to be quite strong in the human race at the Zhengmai stage.”

Suddenly, Zhang Xing lowered his head to take notes, and when he finished writing, he looked up and saw Qin Bao, who was playing "chess" with Xiao Zhou, staring at him from the opposite chair, he couldn't help but be puzzled.

"I don't know whether I should say it or not." Qin Bao hesitated when he saw this, but he still took the initiative to explain. "Actually... Dumeng... Hongshan people, although they are human race, they are more like Wu clan."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xing's heart trembled slightly when he heard the name, and then he immediately suppressed it and turned to ask.

"Hongshan people are affected by the blood spring formed by the blood energy of the Red Emperor Empress and the body of Li Snake. They are born with strong blood energy and a burly figure, but it is extremely difficult to practice at the beginning..." Bai Yousi interjected again outside the room. "Essentially, it looks like the Wu Clan. On the contrary, the current Wu Clan, because they intermarry too much with the human race, are assimilated as soon as they cross the poisonous desert and the bitter sea. There may not be Hongshan people who are more like the Wu Clan."

"I understand." Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment. "Essence and name... so the witch clan was influenced by a certain power at the beginning?"

"It's mainly the three real dragons." Li Ding answered seriously. "Three true dragons that are not related to each other, this is also the fundamental reason why it has been difficult for the three tribes of the Wu Clan to truly unify..."

"Then the monster race, let me guess, is more of a race born under the influence of the vitality of the heavens and the earth itself?" Zhang Xing thought for a while and made inferences. "And the human race is the most mediocre, or equal, without any support, and can only rely on their own reproduction and practice... In the end, they have a long stamina."

"That makes sense." Bai Yousi replied outside. "The reason why the Yaozu is called the Yaozu is because it stands out from the ordinary... Until now, the beasts that occasionally feel the true energy of the world and give birth to supernatural powers are called monsters, and this is the meaning."

"Is there really a living monster?" Zhang Xing was shocked. "What does it look like, has it been captured?"

"Of course." Bai Yousi was speechless. "Haven't you seen it?"

"How did I see it?" Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment.

"Third brother, my Huleibao." Qin Bao really couldn't stand it anymore. "Although the dragon colt is more like the way of the Wu clan, it can't be said how rare this kind of thing is?"

Zhang Xing was stunned immediately, but he was speechless—thinking about it, as long as he didn't mutate to the point where he was out of the shape of a beast, and didn't realize that he was no longer a beast, then what's the difference between a monster and an ordinary beast?

Even, with a slightly mutated beast shape, unable to continue self-cultivation, ordinary people will only think it is a new beast that they see occasionally, right?
With this in mind, Zhang Xing immediately gave up the pursuit of realistic plot of "Legend of the White Snake", and returned to the original topic:
"So, the three races could have intermarried, but because of the racial differences in practice, the monster race came first, followed by the human race, and successively established hegemony, while the witch race...the witch race fell short. When it came to Lord Baidi, the human race was actually completed. After the Trinity Orthodox Church, the religious beliefs are actually unified, and the barriers between the three races have been fundamentally eliminated.”

"Not bad." Li Ding became a little serious. "This is the fundamental reason why people of insight all over the world feel that it is time for the unification of the world...the conditions are ripe."

Zhang Xing became more and more stunned, but couldn't help asking again: "However, this kind of simple thing that can be concluded after a short summary, why is it rarely mentioned in the books I read?"

"Because of Trinity Orthodoxy." Li Ding glanced at Bai Yousi's back outside, and said something. "During the promotion of the Trinity Orthodox Church, there was a major cleansing of the previous history books and records. Later, the system of three brilliance and four royals was extended to the whole world. The three races were united from blood to thought, and even Dongyi and Yaozu Erdao It is difficult to stop the impact of the Orthodox Church, and it has been mopped up, and even writers of novels have been hanged many times... This has resulted in the information of Bai Diye before, there is only one way of official history books, but the official history books are always unavoidable. , and it is inevitable to avoid this issue.”

Zhang Xing was completely enlightened, he dared to love and burned books.

"So... 8000 years ago, it was the Qing Emperor, the true dragons, and the tribes of the hundred clans; 3000 years ago, it was the Black Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the evil dragons of the witch clan who led the three clans of the Lich; 1000 years ago. Many years ago, it was the White Emperor who actually established the hegemony of the human race; and then the ancestors went to the east to fight against the dragon and the female phoenix. It was the four families fighting for hegemony. Clothes and crowns crossing the south, it is the Great Jin going south..." When he came back to his senses, Zhang Xing was slightly emotional while talking. "History is speeding up?"

"Possibly, but not necessarily." Only Li Ding understood the meaning of the other party in an instant, but shook his head again and again. "This kind of thing is obsessed with the authorities, and only later generations can conclude...For example, at this time, is the unification of the world the foundation, or something else? I think the unification of the world is the will of heaven and the human heart; but at the same time, there are always people It is said that the Trinity Orthodox Church is the real protagonist for thousands of years after the White Emperor, because after the emergence of the Trinity Orthodox Church, the Sanhui will appear holy and return to the throne sooner or later..."

Zhang Xing was taken aback suddenly: "Sanhui turned fiction into reality because of the Trinity Orthodoxy? Three or one?"

Qin Baozi and Xiao Zhou were still in the state of just listening, but Bai Yousi outside turned around slightly: "Good question!"

At this time, Zhang Sanlang also gave up the summary of the wheel of history rolling forward, and shook his head again and again: "Sure enough, the authorities are obsessed, and no one knows who is the protagonist... Looking at it this way, do you want to teach and be a teacher for all ages to prove the truth?" bit?"

Li Ding was speechless after hearing this: "You are putting the cart before the horse, fate is determined by God, and things are determined by man, okay?"

"That's right." Zhang Xing let out a dry laugh, and was about to put away his small notebook and end today's general education course.

But when he closed the small book, served tea, and sat cross-legged on the kang, he suddenly thought of a question: "So, before Emperor Qing, before the text was displayed, it became more chaotic, didn't it?"

"That's natural." Li Ding had one head and two big ones.

"At that time, the protagonist may not be a hundred clans, maybe a dragon? Everyone is a dragon's vassal?"

"more or less?"

"Do dragons have their own culture, laws and regulations?" Zhang Xing wondered. "For example, there is a city of dragons in the sky or underground. These dragons hold a gathering every 500 years to sacrifice to the dark sky?"

"What are you thinking?" Li Ding was completely overwhelmed by the other party. "How many dragons are there in the world? And they occupy one side like wild beasts, returning to the city of dragons... Even Lord Qing felt God's will after waking up."

"How long has it been since the creation of the world?" Zhang Xing nodded and asked suddenly.

"what?"

"How long has the heaven and the earth been formed?" Zhang Xing asked. "If there is a real dragon, and there is such an existence as the Emperor Qing, this question should be accurate, right?"

"No." Bai Yousi said. "For the real dragons, they also woke up ignorantly. They didn't know their parents or their parents. Moreover, the original real dragons and magic dragons were just a general term for individuals who were powerful enough to connect the heavens and the earth. The monsters exterminated by Heidi are also jumping around, no one can record the time and years... We are all just guessing now, basically relying on the descriptions of the original true dragons, and these original true dragons have weird tempers, Either arrogant or bewildered, it's hard to keep the truth... However, it's really hard to imagine that they will collude with each other and hide some big secrets."

"Where is that person?" Zhang Xing suddenly thought of a question that seemed to be extremely critical, but he couldn't explain why it was critical.

"what?"

"People...or hundreds of clans...how long has it been since they changed from savages to tribes?" Zhang Xing asked earnestly.

"Who knows?"

"I mean, is this process long and infinite, or is it clearly traceable?" Zhang Xing tried hard to explain. "Did I slowly form a civilization by myself, or did I form a tribe of chieftains by relying on real dragons, monsters, etc.? Does Qingdi have any explanation?"

Bai Yousi and Li Ding fell into silence together.

"That's another way of saying it." Zhang Xing tried hard to probe. "Is there a possibility that humans and the so-called hundred races were originally ordinary beasts, but because they were infected by the vitality of the heavens and the earth, they underwent a long period of self-evolution and turned into humans and other hundred races? Often there will be a strange species like a dragon colt appearing occasionally? Is it also like a monster occasionally giving birth by itself?"

"How is this possible?" Li Ding became a little uneasy. "If this is the case, where is the destiny of the three human liches? Where is the destiny of the hundred clans?"

"I think it's pretty good." Zhang Xing laughed. "It's better than hundreds of clans popping up all over the place overnight..."

"It's really unimaginable..." Li Ding became more and more uneasy. "You said you, why worry about these when you have nothing to do?"

Qin Bao and Zhou Xingfan also stopped playing chess.

"It's destined not to have an answer, so it's better not to ask." Bai Yousi was obviously a little uneasy. "It's hard to say whether the team can stay in Taiyuan tomorrow? Why do you want to do this?"

"Then let's not talk about that." Zhang Xing shook his head and asked a simple question. "Speaking of dragons and foals... Assuming that the world of great competition is unprecedentedly fierce in the future and the vitality of the world is sufficient, will a new race be born somewhere? For example, the mountain nest is full of vitality of the heavens and the earth, and a litter of pigs lives there. Becoming wild boar demons or wild boar people... Do we recognize them as the one hundred and first clan? Or are they slaughtered for meat?"

"You can shut up!" Li Ding was so angry that he jumped off the kang, then walked away, and he didn't forget to argue with Bai Yousi when he walked to the door. "Bai Changjian, you should take care of him too! Otherwise, sooner or later, the sky will be broken!"

Bai Yousi watched the other party leave without paying attention.

PS: Shit... fell asleep... After waking up, the pain under the left shoulder blade was severe, and the face was covered with saliva... I am really sorry for keeping everyone waiting... I will go to catch up on sleep.
