Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 418, The power of culture
"Why go out." Bai Chen said lazily, he really didn't really want to go out.

"Didn't Pindao mention it to you before? I once met a half-demon. The spiritual sea has formed, but it can't become a demon. It seems to be separated by some barrier. Let me take you to see it." Her situation, you should be able to know what it is like." Li Yun said, remembering the PSP half-demon, who paid a huge price to meet the person he likes, and now he doesn't know what the situation is. how's it going.

Seeing Li Yun's serious expression, Bai Chen felt that he would be forcibly taken out if he refused.

Bai Chen could only nod impatiently and said.

"Okay, let's go."

When heading to the urban area, Bai Chen was shocked, looking at the bustling pedestrians, fashionable girls walking, and some young people who were rapping and dancing on the street.

This was the first time Bai Chen showed a shocked expression.
"This is your capital? Why is it so prosperous?" Bai Chen said in disbelief, looking left and right, with a fresh look on his face.

"It's just a small second-tier city, and there are first-tier cities and capitals, special economic zones, and other more prosperous cities." Li Yun said with a smile: "The Internet cafe you went to is called the town, and we sent it together before. A place is called a county seat, and this is called an urban area, and we came to a commercial street, which should be the most prosperous area in the entire urban area, these are things that small counties and villages do not have."

Surrounding the commercial street, there were vendors hawking. The smell of barbecued meat wafted around, making Bai Chen's mouth water, especially the aroma of cumin mixed with barbecued meat, which he had never tasted before.

"This city is really shocking." Bai Chen looked at the towering high-rise buildings around him and the various scenery on the street, and said, "What shocked me the most was not the miracle of the Humane Age, but the culture. This The culture is so rich.”

Along the way, Bai Chen saw not only the barbecues on the street, but also the homeless people in the store, the popular songs, street dance, rap, crosstalk between two people on the big screen in the square, and many other things, representing The products of the culture in this area are vividly displayed.

"There are many more, such as games, animation, and movies. These are all subcultures derived from entertainment culture." Li Yun said with a smile: "If you didn't just play games and check photos when you were in an Internet cafe The words can be understood. These are the most important products of the age of humanity, which is the liberation of the mind. It is not like the age of Shinto, which is based on immortals and gods, but an era based on people. Although everyone cannot be born Equality, but at least everyone is equal in thought.”

Looking at the bustling surroundings, Bai Chen finally nodded and sighed.

"Mortal, it's amazing. I never thought before that such beautiful things can be derived from places without any divine power. These things, even gods with supernatural powers, can't think of them, such as hip-hop, pop songs, and Errenzhuan Xiangsheng, Glory of the King, World of Warcraft, this is a good place."

"However, these things called culture should be the product of living and working in peace and contentment." Bai Shen said after a pause: "In the Shinto era, the power system was chaotic, and monsters made troubles on the earth. Mortals had to rely on the gods they enshrined. Come to pray for yourself, in fact, in the end, it seems that the gods have not done much for the mortals. Often, the demons can’t rush after the village is wiped out, and in the end they can only spread the word to the mortals. monk."

Li Yun also knows that gods are not omnipotent. They cannot kill evil criminals with a wave of their hands. Only when things happen can they rush to kill demons and demons. Just like the modern police, punish monsters.
"From this point of view, the disappearance of monsters is not a bad thing for humans."

But at this time, Bai Chen denied it.

"No, it's a bad thing. If there are no monsters, what will these powerful monks and humans do? Besides, at that time, most of the monsters lived together for the purpose of coexistence. After all, at that time people You can already use tools, but monsters can only use their own bodies, and the two complement each other to survive better."

Li Yun thought for a while, if the foreign enemies who were united as one were lost, these human beings with supernatural power would definitely attack their own people. Many facts in history have proved this point. Maybe the original intention of people after gaining power was Okay, but later on you will gradually become whatever you want.

"So, now the cultivators have also disappeared, right? All the existences that can threaten ordinary people have disappeared. Now this planet is a world dominated by ordinary people, but I think there are really people who make this world no longer have cultivators and Miracles appear, and they are definitely not for human beings.”

"How do you know?" Bai Chen raised his eyebrows and said.

Li Yun said with a smile.

"It's intuition. Intuition tells Pindao that this mysterious existence that makes monsters disappear is definitely not for human beings."

Bai Chen shrugged his shoulders, he still had an intuition, if the intuition is so good, why don't you go to fortune-telling, and don't talk about this topic anymore, just quietly looking at the street scenes that can be seen everywhere, to satisfy your little curiosity, From culture, to tools, to clothing, to people.
While talking, I have come to the community where Wu Xiaoming lives. The teacher's apartment, as a resettlement building, is of an above-average standard, and the infrastructure is very complete. There are all kinds of tools for children, such as slides and swings. Many children are playing here.

Bai Chen expressed full interest in the swing and wanted to try it, but in the end he was stopped by Li Yun, the behavior of grabbing the swing with a child was really embarrassing.
Li Yun and Bai Chen used invisibility techniques to pass over the security guards, entered the community, and recalled the floor where Wu Xiaoming's house lived.

After arriving at the destination, Li Yun rang the doorbell very politely.

Ding-dong-

"Who?"

A crisp female voice came out
After hearing the female voice, Li Yun was stunned, but he still said gently: "Poverty is here to ask Wu Xiaoming about something."

"Are you looking for Xiaoming? Wait a minute. I'll ask."

The female voice was puzzled for a moment, and she could hear inquiries from inside. There was a commotion and the sound of slippers snapping. Wu Xiaoming opened the door, but there was only a gap in the door, and said vigilantly: "You are here to look for Whose? Wait a minute. The master is you!"
