Me: "But under the same conditions, the application for incantations has a higher probability of failure? Because the application objects of the incantations are natural conditions that only talk about logic and not selfishness, and there are relatively fixed criteria for judging whether they are qualified or not. Is it the human heart? The human heart is even more irregular and changeable.”

Ren Yongming: "It's also easier to use. Is it difficult to irritate someone? Just find someone on the street and pour a bowl of cold water on him, then point at him and laugh, his emotional reaction will definitely be angry and embarrassed; Find someone to say to him, "I am very happy today, I want to share, I will give you 100 yuan" and put the money in his hand, he will definitely be happy, and will give you a sentence or two of "I wish you a happy day" and so on blessing of."

Ren Yongming: "I think this is much easier than controlling natural phenomena. There is a wall between living things and unconscious natural phenomena, and living things—especially between creatures of the same race—are easy to understand each other. From ancient times to the present, Whether it’s a slave owner or an emperor, those who control human beings are all in control. Those who control natural phenomena either control people by controlling nature and become kings, or they are liars.”

Me: "Hey, do you live in the main world? You are a monk who controls natural phenomena in the main world, okay? Why do you have to lie to people?"

Ren Yongming: "During the Qi training period, you can easily control the wind and rain. In ancient times, when the flow of information was not smooth, would you say that during the Qi training period, you will be a bitter bottom in the cultivation world, or a god stick who can eat and drink spicy food in the mortal world? Even in modern times, the business of many low-level sects is not much different from the magic stick, but the packaging is more euphemistic and scientific than in ancient times."

Hmm, so scientific.

When the summer is very hot, some mortals hope to have artificial rainfall, but the relevant organizations in the mortal world say that 'the conditions for artificial rainfall are not met.Look up at the sky by yourself, there is not a single cloud that makes sense, we really can't help it.The key is that the temperature will not cool down even if it rains under this condition'; the low-level sect who was also asked for help said, 'We can help make clouds', and then they made it, and by the way, it made the rain fall without the help of mortal institutions.

There was a shower of cheers, and then the rain evaporated, turning the originally dry heat into a steamer-like heat, making it even more miserable.

Relevant organizations in the mortal world: "I told you that you can't rely on this to cool down. I play like this a few times a year, and every year I play with people who can sleep in an air-conditioned room. What are you thinking..."

To your ruthless official agencies.Can't we ordinary people collect money to entertain ourselves?

The official organization of the mortal world that will be disliked regardless of whether it is reasonable or not: "..."

A mortal who calls himself a common man said: "Sometimes we also know that certain actions have no practical meaning, but immortals are cute. Even if there is no positive effect but as long as there is no negative harm, they are willing to play with us. Unlike the mortal world Officials, not only do not accompany to play, but also preach."

The official organization of the mortal world: "Are those immortals playing with you? They are collecting money for business."

Little people: "If you are willing to do this business, we can also pay you."

Official organizations can't hold back this face, but commercial organizations are happy.For things like artificial rainfall, the equipment control is a bit strict, but after all, it has been developed for hundreds of years. In fact, the technical content is not high now. As long as the line of renting equipment is handled well, there is no need for official intervention. It will not hinder the work and entertainment of the public, and it can be made into a purely commercial project by going through a process and reporting in advance.

There are only two points: first, when the cloud is not thick enough, the difficulty of rainfall technology soars, and most small companies cannot afford it;Why do you have the nerve to ask for a price more expensive than a fairy? '

Mortal World Company: "The technology of artificial rainfall is not a secret. You calculate the cost based on the data yourself. Our price is already very conscientious, so we can earn hard money. Their immortals can condense clouds and rain by themselves. From their Raising your hand until the rain falls, the whole process may take less than a minute; it takes us a few days just to apply for renting equipment, and we need so many people to cooperate in the process, we have worked harder than immortals, okay?"

Ordinary people don't buy it, they just think that if a mortal company asks a higher price than a fairy for the same thing, it is unethical and refuses to use it.Therefore, this business has not been developed in the mortal world. When the mortal world has to rain due to drought and other problems, it is still a matter of official agencies, and commercial companies are too useless.

In fact, the rainfall and changes in local temperature for low-cultivation monks most of the time have at best the effect of relieving the symptoms and not the root cause.

In ancient times, when the mortal world had no technology such as rainfall at all, when encountering disasters such as drought, flood, and snowstorm, they could only ask monks. The masters of the Huashen Mahayana stage never responded, and the Nascent Soul monks rarely showed up. If you are willing to help ordinary people, but before helping, you must first declare:

"We can water a field enough, but we can't cover the whole country with the power, and our watering is essentially just moving water from other places to places where the drought is particularly severe, not creating water out of thin air. Given the distance The farther away the water source is to water the arid area, the more spiritual power we will consume, and the less effective the watering will be."

"We can temporarily remove the water from this low-lying area, and temporarily prevent the water from the high-lying area from pouring into the low-lying area to facilitate the transfer of your personnel, but we cannot make all the water recede. We do not have the ability to move such a large amount of water away. The water is rapidly shifting into the sea."

"We can stop the snow from crushing a house or two, but we can't protect all the houses in the snow zone."

"The effects that low-level cultivators can achieve in the mortal world are only temporary emergencies, and cannot change the fundamentals."

Golden Core monks can do far more things in the mortal world than those in the Qi training and foundation building period, and they are slightly more willing to participate in events in the mortal world than monks with higher cultivation levels. .

Brother Jindan: "Whether the biggest factor that makes you unable to survive is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, you know for yourself. We can rescue a disaster, but after a disaster, you continue to endure heavy taxes and watch the decaying court consume the country? "

Jindan monk: "Today we rescued you from natural disasters, and tomorrow when the enemy country invades your territory and kills your family, can we continue to save you? For us monks, national borders do not exist. You and your enemy country The lives of the people are all important to monks, when you are killing each other, we have no reason to take sides."

Jindan monk: "If you want to survive, you must stand up on your own. Construct water conservancy, find and exterminate locusts in time, build stronger houses, store food... Use your hands to push the new emperor who can protect you, Help build a better national system and use your technology to protect your homeland."

Jindan monk: "The monks can't be your saviors, even if a few monks save a lot of people out of pity for you, but no matter how much food and cloth they sprinkle to keep you fed and clothed for a while, are you really Are you alive? Can you really feel at ease by living on the kindness that you don’t know when it will disappear?"

Ordinary people who have started cannibalism in the midst of hunger: "Only by surviving can we talk about other things. How can you manage the meaning of life even if you can't fill your stomach? What's the difference between you gods who don't know the sufferings of the world, and those corrupt officials in wine pools and meat forests?" ?”

Jindan monk: "There is no difference. People, if the living environment is too different, they will not have much empathy. Look at the hatred in your eyes, hate that we don't help you? But in your kind In my heart, even if we help you and give you food, will you remember it? You won’t. So why should we use our resources—no matter how worthless this resource is to us— To help some people who hate us?"

08095 - Objective limitations

Golden Core monk: "There are many more kind people among the monks in the Qi training and foundation period than in the Golden Core period, but how do you treat them? When they can provide food, they worship the Bodhisattva, and when they don't have enough food Then he yelled, 'How could the immortals be short of food? You just refused to save us, and the little food you gave us before was just to satisfy your temporary sense of superiority'."

Brother Jindan: "So why do we need to save? These natural disasters are temporary, and monks can help them, but if the country is incompetent caused by man-made disasters, is it our monk's responsibility to save?"

Brother Golden Core: "Actually, monks from natural disasters shouldn't save you. During the catastrophe, monks can't take care of themselves, and mortals are extinct without saying anything. Didn't they find a way to survive like monks? There is no technology that has been researched, but technology is developed step by step, starting from being able to resist small natural disasters that occur once a year or once in ten years, until it can adapt to major natural disasters that occur once in [-] years."

Jindan monk: "Come on, mortals, you should be partners who can fight side by side with the monks, not pets kept by the monks. Use your energy to eat each other to express your anger to the dignitaries who caused all this. The monks cannot replace You manage the country, improve the system, and research technology. Believe it or not, mortals should be able to build a country that is not afraid of a week of heavy rain, half a month of sun exposure, and a season of no harvest."

Jindan monk: "Ordinary people have done it before, and they will definitely do it in the future. If you can't contribute to this, you... deserve to be eliminated early."

Therefore, the relationship between monks and mortals has always been estranged.In the monk's conception, weakness is a sin, and mortals will always remember the monk's indifference in the disaster.

Mortal history books objectively describe the desperation of the ancients in natural disasters.Hungry and dying everywhere, changing children to eat, but monks at that time accused mortals of not building a good country.

The mortal history teacher said: "It is not wrong to accuse, but under the conditions of insufficient productivity and previous experience, mortals at that time had no concept of a 'good country' at all, so how could they talk about building it? Don't mortals want to Is it possible to build a country where everyone lives happily from the beginning? The problem is that it cannot be done.”

Mortal history teacher: "After the catastrophe destroyed everything, all technologies in the mortal world must be accumulated again. To find new edible plants and animals, to domesticate animals, to make edible plants have higher yields, better Taste, to find mines, to study iron smelting... to think about what kind of management system can match the productivity of each era, and to fight against the greed for power and money in human nature."
