Cultivation of true medicine and saints in the city

Chapter 876 The Power of Gossip

Elizabeth's pretty face showed a smug look. This time, she helped Zhao Yifan.

Afterwards, everyone sat beside Tashi's house, watching Tashi and Langmu calmly, walking all over Hebrun Village, trying to convince everyone one by one.

"Their efficiency is really slow enough."

Yiyi yawned, and teased the little old man who was still in the "dormant period" for a while. This guy didn't show signs of waking up after so long, but the ginseng whiskers on his body were shrinking more and more. The shorter it is, it almost disappears, and the body is more and more bulging, and it becomes fatter and fatter.

"Why don't they gather everyone together and persuade them?"

Liu Xiaotong couldn't help asking curiously.

"Because they haven't thought of it yet?" Luo Yun said analytically.

"It's so simple that you can't think of it?" Liu Xiaotong was a little speechless, "Isn't it so stupid?"

"Don't think too highly of them."

Elizabeth smiled and said: "Their minds, to put it bluntly, are very rigid. Living in such an environment, they have always obeyed orders habitually. Most people actually don't have any thoughts."

"Without any thoughts?"

Yiyi raised her eyebrows when she heard her words, and asked curiously, "Sister Elizabeth, is this impossible? They are human beings, not animals, so how could they not have any thoughts?"

"There must be some thoughts."

Elizabeth explained: "But what they think about is how to fill their stomachs, how to relax themselves, how to avoid being cold, and other things, they don't think about it."

"Unlikely, right?"

Yiyi couldn't believe it.

"It should be like this Yiyi."

Zhao Yifan spoke up: "Elizabeth's analysis should be correct."

He pointed to the four bearers who were still dumbfounded and did not dare to move around by the roadside, and said, "Look at them, that's how they are, they only obey and obey, because they understand from birth and don't obey orders." The end is to be beaten, or even die, so that they will not and dare not have other thoughts, which means that their thoughts are imprisoned."

"Since this is the case."

Yiyi frowned and said, "Then sister Elizabeth's plan, will it succeed?"

"Once a mind is opened, it can never go back."

Elizabeth smiled, "I read a book before, and the author of the book put forward a very interesting point of view. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can gossip. When a person proposes a fictional , something that doesn’t exist, inspire everyone to work hard for this thing that doesn’t exist, to achieve the goal.”

"Non-existent, fictional thing?"

Yiyi was confused when he heard this, and said, "Since it's already non-existent and fictional, why would anyone still believe it?"

"That's because some people believe that this thing exists."

Elizabeth smiled, "And many people do."

"how can that be!"

Yiyi shook her head again and again: "I don't believe it."

"For example, let's take the Heitian Empire as an example."

Elizabeth gave an example with a smile, and said, "You mean, does the Heitian Empire really exist?"

"Of course it exists."

Yiyi laughed immediately.

"If you let me tell you, the Black Sky Empire does not exist." Elizabeth looked at Yiyi seriously, and said, "You think the Black Sky Empire exists, so tell me, how does it exist? "

"It's very simple."

Yiyi pointed to the land under his feet, then pointed to Lang Mu, Zhaxi and others in the distance, and retorted: "This land belongs to the Heitian Empire, aren't Tashi and the others also citizens of the Heitian Empire? "

"Then suppose, tomorrow, the Black Sky Empire is overthrown by Tashi and others, and a new country is established. The land is still this land, and Tashi is still Tashi. Nothing has changed. The only thing that has changed is a new country. Name, then do you think the Black Sky Empire still existed?"

Elizabeth looked at Yiyi with a smile.

Yiyi was a little confused by what she said, thought about it carefully, and said, "What you said seems to make sense."

"It's not that it makes sense, but that the so-called countries and nations are, in fact, all fabricated by gossip."

Elizabeth said seriously: "Take the Heitian Empire as an example. If Tashi and others established a new country called the Daytime Empire, then the Heitian Empire and this land you see now have not changed. But a country has disappeared, right? Because to put it bluntly, this in itself is all people believe in a fictional thing together. This country, if you believe it exists, it exists. If you believe it does not exist, it exists. It doesn't exist, because the country can contain everyone or only one person."

"Contains only one person? What does that mean?"

Zhao Yifan listened interestingly, and couldn't help asking.

"It's very simple."

Elizabeth smiled and said: "Take Tashi as an example, as long as he believes that he is a member of the Black Sky Empire, then the Black Sky Empire exists. If the Black Sky Empire is eliminated and replaced by the White Empire, then at this time If Tashi stands up and claims that he is a member of the Heitian Empire, does the Heitian Empire exist in name?"

"I understand."

Zhao Yifan pondered for a while before he understood the mystery, nodded and said: "Elizabeth is right, these things are actually fictional, made up, the purpose is to make everyone believe that the so-called thing really exists, to create a common goal.”

"Yes."

Elizabeth nodded, pointed to Tashi and the others, and said, "It's like I told Tashi before that the reason why they did this is for their hope and for their future generations, so that they don't have to suffer like this again. To put it bluntly, it is also to convince them that this matter is true, but in fact, the cruel thing is that once they all die, there will be no so-called descendants and hope."

Yiyi couldn't help but shuddered, "Sister Elizabeth, then you...haven't lied to them?"

"Where did I lie to them?"

Elizabeth shook her head, and asked a question: "Then what if they survived and won in the end? Isn't it that their descendants, like little Zab, can have freedom and don't need to obey other people's orders?" Yet?"

"What about them?"

Yiyi pointed to Tashi and the others in the distance, "If you die, wouldn't it be the same as being deceived by your fabricated hope?"

"Yiyi, who can survive?"

Elizabeth smiled and said calmly: "And they died fighting for the life they wanted, not toiling. If you let them choose, which one do you think they would choose? Sure. Do you want to fight it?"

Yiyi was speechless.

"Don't think so much."

Zhao Yifan patted Yiyi's fragrant shoulder and said, "Everyone has their own chosen path, as long as you don't regret it, that's enough."

"Yifan is right."

Elizabeth agreed: "Actually, the most frightening word in this world is not death, but regret. Death is only a moment, but regret can accompany you for a lifetime, just like a bird. Bugs eat your heart every moment, and that's the scariest thing."

"...No, Tashi, Rum, I can't promise you."

Suddenly, there was a dispute in the distance.

Everyone stopped discussing and turned their heads to look at the voice.

There were two villagers who had a fierce dispute with Tashi, Langmu and others.

"Xile, why didn't you agree?"

Looking at Xi Le, who was dark, thin and small, excited, Lang Mu looked very calm, pointed to the villagers beside him seriously, and said, "Don't you want to think about your children and grandchildren? "

"Rum, that's enough, you should stop such crazy thoughts."

Xi Le waved her hands and shouted almost like a roar: "If you do this, everyone will lose their heads after you, and you will all be beheaded!"

He gestured with his hands on the neck, with infinite fear in his excitement, "The lord will kill you, and then cut off your heads without mercy. At that time, you will even kneel down and beg for mercy, the lord You won't change your mind either! That's enough, Rum, Tashi, stop now, if you two want to die, then go ahead and do it, don't pull everyone, I won't agree anyway !"

"Xile, you coward!"

Tashi looked at him contemptuously, and said: "Even if you don't agree to join, won't you die one day? You will keep farming here until the day you are too old to move. At that time, the lord I will still kill you mercilessly instead of giving you a bite to eat."

"exactly."

Xi Le didn't deny it either, "But I'll live a long time, won't I?"

"Then you haven't thought about your son?"

Tashi pointed to the silent villager beside Xi Le, and said, "Do you want your son to live like this for the rest of his life?"

"At least he won't die anytime soon."

Xi Le said frankly: "As long as we can live."

He glanced at Zhao Yifan and the others, and found that Zhao Yifan and the others were all looking at them. Xi Le quickly looked away, lowered his voice, and said to Tashi and Langmu, "I know, you all listened to them." Tashi, Rum, you two, don't be stupid, don't you think about it, why do they say such things to you?"

Although Xi Le's voice was very low, it was still heard by Zhao Yifan and others.

"Sister Elizabeth, look, there is still a person with a 'thinking'."

When Yiyi heard Xi Le's words, she couldn't help but whispered.
