Me and countless me

It's hard to say whether some things are arranged by God. After all, people's character and the choices they can make are sometimes destined.

Just like Li Ke would not watch his whole family die, he would still be involved if necessary. Li Ke, who knows that he can better make people in this world move forward, wants to understand the logic of how this world works.

Therefore, the day after he decided to work harder, Li Ke decided to ask Patriarch Bodhi about the situation in this world.

"Oh? You want to know how the world works?"

Patriarch Bodhi looked at Li Ke, touched his beard, and then asked.

"Are you talking about the movement of dynasties, the department of gods, or the movement of heaven and earth?"

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then cupped his fists and handed over his hands.

"I want it all."

Patriarch Bodhi nodded.

"Then let's start with the immortal department."

Patriarch Bodhi paused.

"There are four types of humans, gods, ghosts and monsters in the world, all of which are born from the womb, eggs, moisture and metamorphosis. The classification depends on personal understanding. Some people call those who follow the way of heaven and earth and get along with others symbiotically, and the rest are Monsters, some people regard those who are the image of Pangu God as human beings, and those who are not the image of Pangu God are not human..."

Patriarch Bodhi spoke eloquently and continuously about the classification of species in this world, and carefully explained the operating rules of the immortal heaven. These are things that Li Ke has not seen in the books.

The monkey got bored after listening for a while and ran out to catch butterflies. Li Ke listened to these rules and thought about the problems in these rules.

Because according to Patriarch Bodhi, to become an immortal or to be an official requires not only sufficient ability, but also sufficient merit. However, this merit is not something that exists in heaven and earth, but is recorded by some small gods. down.

Most of the heavenly beings in the six reincarnations, as well as the good people who are enshrined with incense, are like officials. Once they don't do things well, without the salary given by heaven, the offerings given by mortals will also be lost. Go back to reincarnation again.

As for those who come from a well-known family and practice Taoism and Qi, they can serve in heaven after becoming immortals. Most of them are like petty officials because they are not capable enough or have insufficient merit. The other option is to continue cultivating immortality on earth instead of relying on Heaven to obtain Heaven's resources.

For example, underground kings and people whose virtues are enough to be remembered by countless people. If these people's merits are sufficient, they can choose to stay as officials or go to reincarnation after paying off their sins.

Of course, you can also see if your merits are enough to enter the immortal path.

After a disciple from a famous and upright sect comes out, if he has enough cultivation and a good-looking resume, he can directly go to the 33rd heaven to study immortal magic and magic, ignore these common things, and follow people like Lao Jun. Study and enjoy happiness.

And it is very simple to increase your official position.

Go down to earth to do good deeds and slay demons.

To sum it up.

Even the gods in the sky have performance appraisals. And merit is not only about saving human beings, teaching monsters to be good, saving evil ghosts who cannot reincarnate for various reasons, restoring the earth's veins of a place, making a desolate area prosperous, and saving some endangered ethnic groups. Merits can be obtained.

Of course, those who fully meet these things are of course the most developed human race.

Because the good deeds done by the people under your command will be counted on you, and the bad things done by the people under your command, as long as they are not directly instructed by you, will most likely not be blamed on you.

For example, if you discover that there is a problem with the dam, you, as a god, can directly repair it, which is a good deed. However, if you mobilize mortals and let them get wages to support themselves, and promote economic consumption, or the birth of some new tools , this is a lot of merit.

Therefore, when many gods come down to earth to earn merit, they basically choose the human race.

The overall atmosphere is that doing good deeds will be rewarded, although you may not be able to see it, and doing evil deeds will definitely have retribution, although you may not be able to see it.

Immortals who have joined the establishment cannot affect the lives of mortals at will, unless you descend to earth. Immortal cultivators release spells on a large scale against mortal races, causing huge damage. After being seen, Lei Bu will immediately come out to hammer you.

However, the human court is certified by the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court does not care about the change of the mortal's own dynasty. As long as you do not become an immortal, no one will care about you. Officials and military generals usually have nothing to do, but when they encounter power beyond the level of mortals, not to mention the protection of gods, the incense and willpower of all living beings, and the murderous energy of blood are enough for immortal cultivators and the like to drink a pot.

Of course, if you have it too, then you’ll be fine.

"Grandmaster, in other words, as long as you don't use extraordinary power, even the Jade Emperor will not care about you. Everything will be in accordance with the rules?"

Li Ke asked.

"Call me fellow Taoist. You are right, but there is another situation that will arise."

Patriarch Bodhi reminded Li Ke and then spoke.

"That's the kind of person that God loves. Such a person can succeed no matter what he does. No matter how stupid and stupid he is, no better than a pig or a dog, he can still turn disaster into good fortune, and even get success. The sky helps.”

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then saw Patriarch Bodhi looking at him with a slightly complicated expression.

"I understand, disciple."

Li Ke didn't care what Bodhi Patriarch said later. He was still concerned about one thing.

That is, in this system, he didn't have to worry about the gods in the sky coming down personally, or he didn't have to worry about any gods doing something for merit.

Human power can reverse the impact of the gods coming down to earth!

But it takes a lot, a lot, a lot of effort.

Or in other words, the gods coming down to earth are not necessarily obstacles to oneself.

"Okay, today's lecture is over, you can go."

After saying that, Bodhi Patriarch disappeared on the bed.

And Li Ke looked at his brothers who were learning strange skills and arts, and sighed.

These brothers of his had mediocre qualifications and didn't have much ambition. Most of them knew that they could become immortals without any misfortune, unlike monkeys, who could become immortals in just a few days.

This is forcing people to cheat.

Many people don't even know how powerful Bodhi Patriarch is. They just want to learn something from Bodhi Patriarch so that they can support their families and have a place in the world.

The few who are motivated also want to follow the Shinto path, or even meditate and make medicine.

After all, they don't know what Taoism is.

Because there was no mature Taoism in the Western Han Dynasty, they didn't even think they were Qigong practitioners.

But Li Ke has also seen the abilities of these brothers in this year.

The eldest brother studied mechanical arts. It can't be said that he is very strong, but he can make a wooden bird that can hover in the sky by hand. He is a very strong guy.

The second brother studied music and musical instrument manufacturing, and wanted to create music that would be passed down for thousands of years.

The third brother studied medicine, and wanted to practice medicine everywhere, accumulate good deeds, and practice only to the extent that he could solve the mystery of the fetus, and plan to work hard in the next life in a good family.

The fourth brother studied miscellaneous studies, which is similar to mechanical arts, but he also studied building houses, looking at feng shui, surveying geography, etc.

The fifth senior brother studied Feng Shui fortune-telling and was the most ambitious one. He wanted to be a fortune-teller among the aristocratic families.

The sixth senior brother was into alchemy. A small alchemy room was specially built for him on Fangcun Mountain. He and the third senior brother also built a small medicine garden.

The other brothers studied similar things. Only a few of them were serious about cultivating immortals.

There was nothing they could do about it. They had little experience, insufficient qualifications, and no talent. They could only work hard to live a good life.

"Even if they were ignorant and stupid, worse than pigs and dogs, could they turn misfortune into good fortune?"

Li Ke closed his eyes and thought about one thing.

That was whether he could save the army from the three consecutive days of natural disasters if he was in charge.

The reason why Wang Mang was completely destroyed was because incredible scenes appeared near his army for several consecutive days.

First there was a meteorite bombardment, then there was heavy fog, earthquakes, typhoons, and even floods and hail. And it happened in a very small area. Not everyone was unlucky, only Wang Mang's army was unlucky.

That's right, Liu Xiu's army was not affected at all!

This is real historical data.

Of course, the most critical reason for the failure was that the commander was too weak and the army could not keep up, but the problem was that Wang Mang had no one else to trust.

And who could withstand this battle?

So, Li Ke gave up thinking.

"Damn... Can you have some shame with this level of cheating?"

Li Ke sighed. The root cause of Wang Mang's failure was that the land annexation could not be solved. The problem with Wang Mang's decree was that the big landlords did not listen to him, would not hand over their land, and resisted his decree. Wang Mang's morality was absolutely fine. He was the kind that Li Ke knew very well that he could not do. In some literary novels, Wang Mang could become a saint on the spot.

If he wanted to change this future, there were only two ways.

The first was to become a powerful person and fight for the world himself.

But his family's financial resources are really average. It's nothing to be a rich prince. If he wants to compare with the real big families, he is dreaming. And even if he starts a rebellion, the people who come to his side will be the people of various big landlords, otherwise he will be easily wiped out.

So Li Ke shook his head and rejected this idea.

The second is to be a licker for Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu is jealous of talents. He will never use people who are better than him in fighting. They are stupid and stupid, but loyal people will become his capable generals. And capable people will never stand out in Liu Xiu's place. Moreover, Liu Xiu did not kill meritorious officials, but in the process of starting a business, the meritorious officials were forced to rebel by Liu Xiu.

And often these talents who were forced to rebel could beat Liu Xiu so hard that his mother didn't recognize him. However, Liu Xiu was still able to win by unreasonable situations.

The more Li Ke thought about it, the more he felt sweaty.

So he came to a conclusion.

"If I could become a Maximist... maybe I could still fight?"

Sitting up from the bushes, Li Ke thought of a way to win.

In his mind were all kinds of knowledge provided by Li Ke in his daily life and Li Ke in France, from blast furnaces to mineral identification, from compound extraction and synthesis, all in his mind!

So, Li Ke couldn't help looking at his senior brother, and then he smiled after thinking for a while, and then under the stunned gaze of the monkey, he ran to his room, tore off a piece of cloth from his brocade clothes, and began to write.

Yes, at this moment, there is no good paper in the world.

Cai Lun was in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

So, when Li Ke finished drawing the blueprint, he rushed directly to his senior brother's room.

At this moment, his senior brother was studying a Luban lock, and Li Ke came to his side quietly, and then patted his senior brother who was studying the Luban lock.

"This thing is really clever, Luban is worthy of being..."

Li Ke's senior brother was fiddling with something in his hand when he heard a voice.

"Senior brother..."

The senior brother's eyes shrank suddenly, and the Luban lock in his hand almost flew out, and then he saw Li Ke holding a piece of cloth and looking at him with a smile.

"Junior brother! What are you doing!"

Li Ke showed a brilliant smile to his senior brother, and then showed the cloth in his hand to his senior brother.

"Come, senior brother, take a look at this plow, this thresher, and this thing called a bicycle..."

As Li Ke showed the cloth, his senior brother who specialized in mechanical arts suddenly straightened his eyes, grabbed the cloth in Li Ke's hand, and looked at it straight.

"This, this... How exquisite... There is such a mechanical art, so that's it... It's actually like this..."

Li Ke's senior brother looked at the thing in Li Ke's hand infatuatedly, his eyes constantly showing an expression of obsession and desire, and then heard Li Ke speak faintly.

"If you want to get more such patterns, senior brother, you must obey my orders and help me make something..."

And his senior brother said one thing without thinking.

"Go through fire and water! Uncle Master!"

Li Ke: "…………"

Li Ke looked at his senior brother, and his senior brother also looked at Li Ke. Li Ke was silent for a while and then spoke: "Well, you should actually call me Junior Brother."

And his senior brother patted his chest and spoke: "The teacher calls you Taoist friend, how can I, as a disciple, go beyond that? And you teach me such precious knowledge. Although I am already a disciple of Bodhi Patriarch and cannot call you teacher, there is no doubt that you teach and learn, so how can I call you Junior Brother?"

Li Ke: "…………"

Damn, it makes sense!

But before Li Ke could say anything, his senior brother spoke again.

"As for what you want to do, leave it to me. I will never refuse!"

Li Ke: "…………"

Li Ke looked at the simple-looking senior brother and covered his forehead helplessly.

"Okay, but you have to come with me to find the fourth senior brother, and other people who are learning these miscellaneous studies..."

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, he saw his eldest senior brother suddenly clasped his fists.

"Yes!"

As soon as the voice fell, the eldest senior brother flew away, and Li Ke sighed helplessly and looked at a small hill not far from Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Before, Li Ke didn't know what was going on there, but now, with a lot of knowledge in his mind, Li Ke knew very well what was there.

There are iron mines, and there is coal not far away, and there is also a river with good water flow not far away, as well as some waterfalls. With a little preparation, it can become a small, hydraulic forging equipment.

Li Ke touched his chin and thought.

"How about a big one?"

And just at this time, his sixth senior brother who made pills and his third senior brother who studied medicine appeared in front of him.

Li Ke smiled.

"Have you ever heard of chemistry?"

So——

"Everyone, work hard! When the first furnace of iron is made, whether it is glass test tubes or things like wrought iron, everyone can easily get it!"

Li Ke looked at the gradually built furnace and shouted to his fellow apprentices. Even among this large group of fellow apprentices, there was the shadow of Li Ke's second brother.

The second brother was a cultured person who was fooled by Li Ke using later musical instruments. Although the second brother was not interested in songs such as Blue and White Porcelain, Jay Chou, and Zhou Jie, he had no resistance to various later singing methods and new musical instruments. Therefore, he was pulled by Li Ke to do hard labor.

Sun Wukong was also among them, but he didn't want anything. He just thought that it was fun to dig pits and mine together, and this guy was born with supernatural power, so he had a lot of fun here.

The only request was to let Li Ke tell more stories and things like that.

At this time, Li Ke's fourth senior brother came over and saw the eldest senior brother throwing iron ore and other things into the furnace. He couldn't help but shudder and walked to Li Ke and bowed.

"Uncle, the paper pulp has been made. Do we really just need to hang it on it and dry it to make paper that can be written on?"

Li Ke nodded to his fourth senior brother.

"Yes, that's roughly it. Don't worry too much. The waste paper can be broken up and added in again. When the iron in the blast furnace is smelted..."

Yes, all the dozens of disciples in Fangcun Mountain were mobilized by Li Ke, including those who learned fortune telling, and they were all tricked by Li Ke into working as coolies.

But there were still many things that Li Ke needed to see by himself, so looking at the appearance of his fourth senior brother, Li Ke decided to go there by himself.

So, Li Ke and his fourth senior brother went to a place specializing in paper making.

While they were busy, on Fangcun Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi watched the actions of Li Ke and others and couldn't help but touch his beard.

"Good, good..."

Let's talk, with a flick of the whisk, a bicycle, a curved shaft plow, and a large pile of exquisite rice paper appeared in front of Patriarch Bodhi. Even a cannon, a firecracker, a six-tube thing, and a lot of lead bullets all appeared in front of Patriarch Bodhi.

What's more, a huge iron machine emitting steam also appeared in front of everyone.

These are all manifested by Patriarch Bodhi using his own magic power. The creations based on Li Ke's drawings are actual immortal methods.

The boy next to him looked at these new things in surprise, and couldn't help but look at Patriarch Bodhi.

"Master, Junior Brother Wang Mang, what are the things he makes used for?"

As he said that, the boy picked up a firegun, pointed his eyes at the muzzle of the gun, and looked into it, making Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but shake his head.

So Patriarch Bodhi recalled his boy, touched his head, and gave an irrelevant answer.

"He is not my disciple, but my Taoist friend, so I call him Uncle Master. Moreover, his Taoist name is Li Ke. For those of you and me who are not from this area, just call him Taoist Li Ke."

Just looking at what was in front of him, Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but sigh.

"What he did was to extend the things of future generations to the present and create prosperity for all generations. But for him, it is difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse. It must be noted that the magical power is not as good as the sky, even if all the mechanisms are exhausted, there is nothing he can do. What's more, his involvement in the situation will eventually lead to chaos in the world and great catastrophe. At that time, even the star kings in the sky will descend to earth in advance, and even the heaven will be shaken by it... So don't call him junior brother. "

Boy: "…………"

The boy was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard the word "catastrophe" from his master.

Patriarch Bodhi closed his eyes. He calculated Li Ke's path, but he felt that the heaven was deceiving him. When he tried to make predictions based on what Li Ke had learned and his character, what he saw was a massacre.

Li Ke will inevitably cause a sea of ​​blood, but if he fails to become the common leader of the world, he will definitely receive retribution.

But another deduction revealed another strange situation.

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and no longer thought about Li Ke, but he had no intention of stopping Li Ke and others. He just looked at Sun Wukong, who was waving flags and shouting beside Li Ke and imitating Li Ke's singing, and thought for a moment. Afterwards, a decision was made.

"It's better to spread the law first to avoid causing more trouble."

Having said that, Patriarch Bodhi began to think about what techniques he should teach Li Ke.

But Patriarch Bodhi looked in the direction of Li Ke and couldn't help but smile.

"God's will cannot be changed, but destiny may not..."

So, Patriarch Bodhi stretched out his hand, and the next moment, three bamboo tubes appeared in front of him. These bamboo tubes had no words, but they were engraved with the magical powers and magical skills he had learned throughout his life. On the surface, they looked like Huang Ting. But if Li Ke accumulates enough virtue, he will be able to manifest various magical techniques on it.

"Give it to him when he leaves."

With that said, Patriarch Bodhi closed his eyes and began to wander, letting Li Ke do things on the Xie Yue Sanxing Cave.

So, three months later——

On the top of Fangcun Mountain, there is a resting place for the disciples. There are a few big words written in black and white on it: 'The first singing and dancing competition in Xieyue Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai'.

Sun Wukong held the newly made guitar, stood under the lighting, and sang the song "written" by Li Ke affectionately.

"Do you want to make one? Do you want to make a cool one..."

There's still two thousand left, it's half o'clock...
