08060-Trace back to the sea

Later, with the development of science and technology, machines played an increasingly important role in rescue and became more reliable.Moreover, as for rescue, as long as you have great strength, sufficient physical strength, and follow the instructions, you will be more replaceable. It is almost the same for any monk in the foundation-building stage of Qi training, so the lost state will focus on the more refined humanities. On the one hand, for this reason, the disciples of the Lost Realm learned a lot of professional knowledge in archaeology, restoration of ancient relics, etc., and then they came out of the Jindan Stage, and several of them came out in a row, and they became undisputedly third-rate sects.In the past few decades, the status of the leftover state in the third-rate sect has been quite stable, and it seems that it will continue to be stable.

Lost Realm has provided a good example for the third-rate sects not to enter the ranks, but in terms of archaeology and antiquities, Lost Realm is not the first cultivation sect to do this, nor is it the one that cooperates with mortals the most in this regard.

The second-rate sect Back to the Sea is the strongest in this respect, and its occupational configuration is much more complete than that of the Forgotten Realm.The occupations in the Lost Realm are still biased towards the categories that appear directly on the scene, such as sword repair and body repair, and their Jindan stage are also these two professions, and then cultivate a small number of the highest foundation-building stage tool repair, alchemy repair, etc. There are Confucianism cultivators who don’t know if they can be regarded as entry-level occupations because they only have the Qi training period; while the occupation of Suhuihai is very rich. In summary, there are all occupations, and each occupation has at least one golden elixir period——but the Yuanying period still only focuses on mainstream mass occupations.

Suhuihai's main business is biased towards the exploration and restoration of antiquities, focusing on academic research, which is what Feng Qiang focused on when he was alive. Feng Qiang also had exchanges with Suhuihai.

Suhuihai disciples sometimes participate in front-line archaeological excavations, but the premise is that the project clearly contains spiritual artifacts, or is large enough, and has a relatively high probability of being related to the cultivation world in the era when the people involved in the project are still alive An interaction occurs.As for the ancient cemetery in Wenran City, it looks like a small closed village with the scale of the tomb group, and even most of the tombstones only have one name. The key is that it doesn’t look like a type with intact funeral objects. It is too likely that they are interested, and even the response to the lost situation is cold.

Even if they publicly tell these two sects that there is spiritual power in the cemetery, they ask, 'What kind of spiritual power is it? ', answering 'curse', they can immediately take back their feet when they are about to step out of the gate of the sect.Especially when you go back to the sea, you may even question: "Are you kidding us? What we study are utensils. Even if we sometimes study mantras, they are still studying the mantras on utensils."

Lost Realm is slightly more down-to-earth than Returning to the Sea, and you may also ask whether the difficulty of excavation is too great.Then I got an answer: "It's not big, because basically nothing has been discovered." So the Lost Realm also became indifferent.

08061-never seen

At Zhou Lige's age, when he was born, he was rarely a coolie who helped ordinary people with small projects, and now the archaeological professionals who appeared on the scene hoped to produce another one with serious research on archaeology. A low-level sect who is willing to accept a wide range of commissions.

Me: "The hope is very slim. Generally, there will not be two sects in the exact same scope of business. The Lost State tends to appear on the scene and carry out comprehensive rescue, and the Backward Sea tends to study carefully in the studio and perform fine repairs. What is the difference? The two do not overlap and are within the scope of archaeological work?"

Zhou Lige: "Does developing dexterous robots count?"

Me: "Qizong? Puppet embankment? The development is not a problem, the key is, it must be powered by electricity, right? It can be driven by spirit beads or even spirit stones, and it can't be used with the budget of a small project. Speaking of it, Wenran City This project can hire Shengmen Jindan stage, the budget is quite a lot."

Zhou Lige: "It's not a system. Hiring people from Shengmen to exorcise ghosts is counted as a project to ensure the safety of citizens, and has nothing to do with our archaeology. If our archaeology can have so much money, all of us, including interns No one would agree to use it to exorcise ghosts. There is something wrong. I have been in this industry all my life, and I have never seen a tomb with a ghost that can harm a whole city. It has no lethality, and it is basically left over due to sorrow and reluctance, and there is no leftover due to wanting to kill or harm others."

Zhou Lige: "The ghosts who want to kill people can't be trapped in the tomb at all. Tomb robbery, natural decay and other reasons have already cracked the tomb, and the ghosts have come out to harm people. How can we wait for us to officially start the archaeological project? Ah. It is not a decent tomb that can raise ghosts. When the tomb was repaired, it was full of heresy, and it was easy to be harmed by the heresy later. But the real high-value tombs and big projects pay attention to integrity, and the owner of the tomb himself Can exorcise ghosts."

Me: "Isn't it? Doesn't the luxury of a tomb depend on the status of the owner of the tomb? The emperor and the prince are the most likely to have a big tomb, right? Even if other identities want to build a big tomb, the feudal hierarchy won't allow it."

Zhou Lige: "You mean, emperors and princes can't be righteous people? Wrong. You can only say that they are generally not good people in the conventional sense, but they do have a strong heart and are invulnerable to ghosts and gods." Faith. Extremely good and extremely evil people do not attract ghosts. Those people are not afraid of being approached by ghosts when they are alive, how can they be afraid of ghosts when they themselves become ghosts after death?"

Zhou Lige: "Emperors, there are emperors everywhere. This refers to the emperor who has made achievements, at least achieved success. He has a position in the hollow. If he has been fooled by his courtiers and harem all his life, he is a puppet."

08062-Do your best

Me: "But the tombs of those who were fooled were not necessarily small, nor were they necessarily robbed early."

Zhou Lige: "But with whom can the puppet have a great feud that continues to entangle after death? It may be because of his indifference, which has indeed caused some people to suffer disasters for the country and the people, but the victims will still prefer to find the actual murderer. The emperor who has occupied a position is more likely to hate iron but not steel, and will not let it go even if it does not turn into a ghost."

Zhou Lige: "Can you help me dig this piece, along this line, down 1.5 meters vertically, and then lift it up?"

I fulfilled his request, and Zhou Weige praised: "Beautiful. In fact, Mr. Pei, you have a wide range of knowledge, a slow temper, and are willing to discuss with ordinary people on an equal footing. , The cultivation level is really too high. With your temper and mastery of knowledge, if you have five spirit roots, mortals will definitely line up to entrust you, and promise to offer you like offering to a god."

Me: "You guys can explore more in lesser schools. It is difficult to have a wide range of knowledge to my level, because my memory bank can be so large mainly because of my strong spiritual sense. It is impossible to have such a strong divine sense during the Qi training period." knowledge, but as long as it loves to collect data and learn enough, then it should have a general understanding of the general knowledge of the mortal world, and then you can give us some pointers when doing specific things, and it will be very useful.”

Me: "You can't just think about getting it and using it immediately, you have to spend time cultivating it."

Zhou Lige: "Didn't the Lost Realm be cultivated by us in the mortal world? As a result, they were cultivated into third-rate sects, and then they looked down on small projects. Well, we can't blame them too much for being ruthless, after all. There are not many people in the country, and it is impossible to follow all the projects. In some cases, they will naturally choose big projects first. It is also human nature."

Zhou Lige sighed, and then said to me: "Move this piece [-] centimeters in this direction, and be careful not to drop any debris. It's really broken everywhere here."

After I completed this request, I suddenly felt a little wrong, and asked, "Did you deliberately talk about topics that are attractive to me, so that I can stay near you, and then you can order me around?"

Zhou Lige: "How can I order you? I just made some small requests to you that are difficult for me to do but easy for you to do. You can refuse at will. There is no coercion, it is not a transaction, I say it at will, you do it at will Decide whether to do it or not."

Me: "How many things do you think can be rescued here?"

Zhou Lige looked around with a helpless expression, but he was not sad, he just said, "Do your best."

08063-Easy to be swayed

Me: "You seem to be here because you applied actively, otherwise you might not be included in this project."

Zhou Lige: "Yes, just looking at the scene images at the beginning, we can tell that it is impossible to save. In this state, there is not much room for professional skills. We have been busy here for a month, and the effect may be similar to that of the Canadian excavator III. Use two shovels to get everything to the open space, then wash it with water, pick up the ones that can be seen and put them away. How much you can get in the end depends on luck, not skill."

Zhou Lige: "When it was first built, there was not much protection, and then the city was built on it generation after generation. In recent years, it is separated from the nearest subway station by a wall less than half a meter away. During the construction of the Millennium Middle School, the entire cemetery was not completely shattered, and now the cemetery can still recognize the original arrangement at a glance, which is also fate, and maybe it is really blessed by heroes."

Me: "Are you also here to see heroes?"

Zhou Lige: "Heroes have become nourishment. Just remember it in your heart. You don't have to see the real thing. I applied because this project has a great social impact, and everyone in the industry understands that there is no serious thing to be dug here. That is to say , This project is thankless, and those in the industry who want to make achievements will definitely not want to see this project, but if no one takes the initiative to sign up, then the above will definitely be chaotic, and whoever is currently in the limelight will be selected."

Zhou Lige: "This project, it is impossible to do it perfectly, and all the imperfections will become the weapon of public opinion to attack us. At this time, it is time for the old people who are about to come to the end to come forward and help the young people. Our reputation can suppress many voices of public opinion, and the public in the future will at least not suspect that we are incapable and have made mistakes in rescue work when faced with dilapidated ancient relics."

Me: "Actually, the public opinion is not so unreasonable. Everyone has seen what the cemetery was like when it was first exposed. In the future, as long as we continue to inform the progress of excavation and protection, everyone will understand."

Zhou Lige: "When you don't care, you can accept anything, but when you care, it's easy to criticize. Our profession is unpopular, and we are used to not being noticed. Once we get too much attention, unnecessary accidents are easy to happen. For example, some violent The little guy will accuse the public of not knowing anything and pointing fingers."

Me: "If the content of the accusation is well-founded, it can't be regarded as a public opinion accident, right?"

Zhou Lige: "Public opinion is not limited to Shazhuan. Shazhuan seems to be able to maintain a certain level of reason no matter how noisy it is, but in most public opinion occasions, the public is easily guided. A little bit of bias , A slight concealment of information, the public will follow suit, becoming someone else's gun, becoming an accomplice or being harvested money bags."

Me: "With the diversification of the current information channels, I really don't think it will be possible."
