Chapter 109 Idealism
"This is Changguo, but the name has changed."
With the decline of the imperial system, the last emperor Datong, thinking of the difficulties of people's livelihood, handed over power and declared that the Xu family had completed its historical mission and would no longer be in charge of the Dachang regime. So far, the country has enjoyed a full three hundred years.
For a time, the whole world was shocked by this noble character.
Unlike other countries where the royal family was bloodily purged, and unlike Great Britain, it still used the people's taxes to support unnecessary parasites.
Of course, the descendants did not completely become civilians, and still retained many interests of the Xu family.
The ownership of the palace in the capital and the ticket revenue all belonged to the Xu family, and even the title of emperor was retained, so there is still an emperor now, but he has no power, and is generally used for diplomacy to maintain the legitimacy with the surrounding Huaxia Alliance countries.
In legal terms, the emperor is the emperor of Shenzhou and the surrounding countries, so the emperor is the link to maintain relations with the surrounding countries.
"The Xu family runs various royal luxury brands, shoes, clothes, perfumes, jewelry... The annual income exceeds 500 billion." At this point, Xie Qi couldn't help asking, "What is your relationship with the Xu family?"
"Uh, nothing."
Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and did not reveal his relationship with the Xu family. What's the point of saying it?
There is no need for me to recognize these descendants.
"It's getting late, let's go out."
"Okay."
Xie Qi followed Xu Xuan.
In the harsh environment, Xu Xuan was as agile as a leopard.
Xu Xuan did not use the means of flying. He didn't know what the situation was here, so it was better not to expose his ability easily.
On the way, Xu Xuan asked a lot of questions about history.
Xie Qi answered one by one, and at the same time he was a little curious. What was the origin of this person in front of him?
It was simply horrifying to have such a magical ability. I haven't reacted yet.
Originally suspected that I was dazzled, but the person in front of me was not an illusion, not my dazzle, this is reality.
On the other side, Xu Xuan was thinking about the future.
"After years of seclusion, my life span has not changed. I am still 110 years old. On the contrary, my realm has risen slightly. I am about to break through the ninth level of Qi Refining."
Apart from television, computers, Internet, high-speed rail and other technologies, can modern technology help me?
.
Xu Xuan once tried to combine the corpse-driving technique with steam robots, or to engrave runes on steam and steel objects. Later, he found that ordinary steel could not bear the spells and spiritual energy.
If you drive corpses, use human bodies; if you engrave spells, use paper, or more advanced lightning-struck wood. Isn't that going back to cultivating immortals?
The frameworks of the two are different, and there is no meaning in combining them.
For example, to build a so-called modern and immortal combination aircraft, using spiritual energy and formations as power, ordinary metals cannot bear spiritual energy, so they are replaced with immortal materials, and the engine is replaced with formations, talismans and spirit stones. Isn't that going back to cultivating immortals? There are shuttles that can break through the air in the world of cultivating immortals.
Moreover, airplanes are not as good as shuttles. Shuttles have formations to expand space inside. Small shuttles are not only fast, but also have metaphysical flickering and moving. They can accommodate thousands or tens of thousands of people.
Moreover, using assembly lines to make talismans and recording spells with recorders is a pure joke. Does casting rely on the pattern and sound?
Cultivating immortals is the exploration of the human body's small world and the external universe. It mainly depends on the mind and belongs to idealism.
Cultivating immortals has the perception of the spiritual avenue, as well as formations, elixirs, talismans, and the "high technology" of the human body's gradual transformation.
Xu Xuan has the memory of the phoenix. In the ancient ancestral inheritance of the phoenix, the phoenix ancestors also came into contact with technological civilization.
But in essence, it is still a large sect that uses a division of labor and cooperation system, based on spirit stones or other energy-containing minerals, and applies them, advocating large-scale production.
In their view, a sect with more than one billion people is still a sect. It is not a different system with a different name.
Your terms "quantum" and "time and space" are very high-sounding, but my terms "heart of heaven", "universe", and "fate" are not?
Xu Xuan does not reject technological civilization, but the current technology is actually not as good as the mature immortal civilization, at least for himself; if he really wants to combine, he can just change the terms, such as quantum flying sword and quantum corpse driving.
He doesn't want to sacrifice himself to fulfill others anyway.
With the current technology and his current strength, he can only become a hero of human civilization through his own sacrifice and dedication, don't dream of having both.
"The mirror is faintly hot, and I feel a realm of breaking through the air, but that world does not seem to be the immortal world, but a world slightly higher than this world. This world is low-level martial arts, and that world seems to be medium-level martial arts? I wonder if there is spiritual energy."
Xu Xuan thought.
This world may not accept the spiritual power of the foundation-building level. It is estimated that when he breaks through to the ninth level of Qi training, the mirror will be able to start the shuttle.
This kind of repulsion is not about the size of the power. Even if the earth and the solar system are destroyed, it will not have any impact on the universe. It is mainly because of the rules.
If he stays in this world, his upper limit is estimated to be foundation building at most. This is not a matter of whether there is spiritual energy or not.
"There are no people like Lu Dongbin, Ge Hong, Guangchengzi, Chisongzi in this world. Maybe the level is not as good as my previous world."
As for spending decades or hundreds of years climbing to the technology of the universe, and then enduring the long time and space travel, going to space to find other illusory resources, that is unacceptable to Xu Xuan. He doesn't have the time.
His advantage is that he can travel between the two worlds and enjoy the world's resources alone.
Obviously, there are no resources suitable for foundation building in this world.
The two walked out of the jungle.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go around first. As a guide, you should do your best to be a good host."
"Hello, Mr. Xu. My name is Xie Qi. I'm sure you will be satisfied with the next trip." Xie Qi was about to complain, but when she saw Xu Xuan conjure up a fist-sized gold, she shut up. She had already ignored how the gold was conjured.
Carefully accepting the gold, Xie Qi's eyes smiled into crescents.
"You really look like an old friend of mine." Xu Xuan smiled.
"What's her name?"
"I forgot, my memory is fuzzy." Xu Xuan skipped the topic.
Arriving at the town, the two took a bus to the county town.
Jiaozhi was renamed Nanyue. As a central city connecting Southeast Asia, this place has developed quite well.
On the bus, although Xu Xuan had long hair and wore retro clothes, people were surprised but didn't think anything of it.
Unlike the world in Xu Xuan's previous life, Hanfu has always been worn by people in this world, and some people also abide by the ancient costumes, so there is no such thing as a revival of Hanfu.
After sitting on the bus for several hours, Xu Xuan arrived at a familiar big city.
There were a lot of cars and people coming and going.
The invention of science and technology has greatly improved people's living standards.
People in this world are lucky, not as cruel as the cultivation civilization.
Xu Xuan stood on the street, feeling the intersection of time and space.
For a moment, a sense of vicissitudes of life came to his mind.
"Xu Yong, Li Jianxing, Xu Dezhao, Ai Xiru... you did it."
There is a statue in the central square of the city. From the appearance, it vaguely looks like Xu Yong. Sure enough, the Chinese characters below are written with the description of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the emperor of the ages.
"Is there a museum or library here? I want to see..."
Xu Xuan also wants to learn about history.
What kind of vitality does this civilization that he created have, and what do future generations think of them.
"The library is far away from here, is the cinema okay? It just happened to be playing a historical drama." Xie Qi said cautiously.
This person feels familiar and strange to the modern world. Could he be a ghost?
It's the kind that is often played on TV, where ghosts from ancient times travel through time and space.
Xu Xuan turned around and saw that there was a movie theater next to him.
"That's fine, you scan the code, I don't have a mobile phone."
It's okay to watch a movie. The official history books are official after all, and movies can better reflect the attitudes of the people.
It just happened to be about the deeds of Xu Xuan, a great scientist and leader of the White Emperor Sect. Seeing my image being portrayed, I felt a different feeling in my heart.
But when I saw the name of the movie, Xu Xuan had a bad feeling.
...
In the movie theater, a handsome young man in ancient costume was looking at the woman affectionately on the screen.
Xu Xuan said affectionately: "Qingcheng, for you, I can give up the whole world; but the responsibility of the nation is on my shoulders, I can't indulge in love, you wait for me to return from the battle."
Qingcheng: "You are a great hero, I will wait for you to come back, the day when China is unified is the time for us to enjoy the flowers on the road."
The camera turned, that winter, Xu Xuan killed the barbarian leader in the northern capital.
On a cold day, Qingcheng lay on the hospital bed, her hands dropped, and the beauty passed away.
A sad song sounded on the screen.
"We walked this road too hastily
Embracing unreal desires
...
No longer sighing about the impermanence of the world you said
No longer looking at the light of the sun through the clouds in the sky
No longer looking for the promised paradise
No longer sighing about the impermanence of the world you said
The three inches of sunlight that cannot be borrowed..."
"Qingcheng for You", introduction: At the end of the Ming Dynasty, people were living in poverty. At this time, a girl Qingcheng who should have lived an ordinary life in the 21st century...
At this moment, the man was silent, the woman shed tears, and Xu Xuan's face turned green.
...
(Please everyone, don't worry about what I write, I know what I want to say, and I refuse any threats and groundless worries.)
