08096-In order to pass on

Mortal history teacher: "Yes, as long as we don't want to be wiped out in the next catastrophe, then we can't rely on monks. We must survive every disaster by ourselves and build up the ability of mortals to resist disasters. But this inevitable and objective requirement It doesn't stop us from being chilled when we see monks watching countless people starve to death and drown."

The mortal history teacher: "The monks, the high immortals, and us mortals are destined to be different from the moment we choose different strengthening directions."

However, there are also history teachers who agree with the practice of monks:

"Cultivators must regard monks as the same kind, right? And when a monk sees a junior who is still weak but seems to have great potential, what will he do? Hold it in his hand and take care of it carefully, so as not to let the cold, not Make him hungry? Of course not. Da Neng will let this junior face various problems and constantly train this junior’s ability. finger."

"Because they are regarded as the same kind, I hope that the younger generation can develop and stand shoulder to shoulder with me as soon as possible. The monk also has this attitude towards mortals."

"In every catastrophe, although monks also suffer heavy losses, they can basically pass on the main body, so that the monks who are still alive after the catastrophe can get the essence of the research and production achievements of the cultivation world before the catastrophe. Standing on the shoulders of the predecessors, go further, and save more things in the next catastrophe for future generations."

"Comparing the loss and inheritance of the three major disasters in the cultivation world, it can be clearly seen that the ability of the cultivation world to resist the catastrophe is getting stronger each time. In the first catastrophe, Kunlun almost wiped out its family. In the third catastrophe, even Several second-rate sects are not passive to the foundation. Continue to develop, and when most of the third-rate sects can be preserved intact, the world of comprehension will completely overcome the catastrophe."

"And what about the mortal world? Every time it was completely destroyed. After every catastrophe, the social system was rebuilt from slavery, and then experienced a long feudal society, tortured itself in a low level of productivity. The only thing worthy of praise is language The characters have been passed down, and when new developments are made, we can skip the differences and mutual understanding caused by different main languages ​​in different regions. But mortals, my compatriots, let us ask ourselves, is the inheritance of language and characters the credit of our mortals? Isn’t it really because we and monks use the same language system?”

08097 - go to fight

"Even if the monks have passed through the catastrophe and handed over the language to us, we have to evolve different dialects because of transportation and other problems, and because we have not communicated with mortals in other regions for a long time, so that the originally identical The language becomes different. Then wait until a long, long time later, when transportation and communication are convenient again, and then make great efforts to unify the language again.”

"Which sect in the cultivation world relied on the protection of other monks to survive the catastrophe? No. Then can the entire mortal world expect to rely on the protection of monks to survive the catastrophe? Everyone is really willing to experience it again and again like reincarnation. Destruction and difficult reconstruction? Are you willing to watch the ancient mortal world after the last catastrophe repeat the same suffering, make the same mistakes, and take the same detours?"

"Would you like to see history repeated without progress?"

"Mortals can't find a way out by themselves, so what can monks do? Mortals will definitely not be able to use the method of monks to overcome the catastrophe. Mortals must find their own way. How to find it? From the very beginning, when we were still weak, we forcibly became independent and forgot The monks can be our helpers and build their own path, abandoning the idea of ​​relying on the monks from the very beginning. Mortals need to stand up and unite to face the catastrophe that cannot be avoided."

"When natural disasters come, monks should not save mortals. They should not give a single rice. They should not let mortals have the idea of ​​'there is still support, there is a way out, and gods can be sent from heaven'. In the face of catastrophe, the Lord All creatures in the world have no retreat. Because monks could not find a stronger support than themselves in the main world, they struggled to find the dawn of breaking the situation. Ordinary people should learn this spirit and try their best to climb forward step by step .”

"As long as you are not dead, even if you drop blood every step of the way, even if your body is smashed to pieces, you should take one more step forward as much as possible, so as to accumulate more hope for future generations to break the game."

"If we can have the spirit of a monk to face a catastrophe early, maybe we have successfully broken the situation of the catastrophe in the main world. It is us mortals who are holding back the monks."

"A monk is not the savior of mortals, don't expect a savior, only we can save ourselves."

"Compatriots, stand up, don't kneel down and pray. Don't pray that the catastrophe will let us go, and don't pray that non-existent gods stand between us and the disaster, and don't pray that those who only covet temporary benefits will be able to do it after they come to power. Human affairs. Let us all stand upright with our heads held high, to fight, to protect the righteous from rising to high positions, and to deny the greedy ones a chance to take power, to protect ourselves and our future generations.”

08098-Just to make a little detour

The knowledge of history often seems to lack economic benefits. Even if the government unswervingly spends money to support it every year and gives a lot of preferential treatment, so that experts in the industry can put aside their life concerns and concentrate on research, no matter how big-name experts in this industry are Without a luxurious life, it can only be described as noble.This is not an industry where materialistic things can be enjoyed, nor is it an industry that attracts active participation from the masses.

But it matters.

Even people in the history industry themselves would laugh at 'the only experience people can learn from history is that people can't learn any experience from history', but no matter how twisted and round, the experience still slowly settled down, making detours a little less little bit.

For example, it is necessary to control the distance between the mortal world and the cultivation world, between mortals and monks, neither too close nor too far away.

For example, there is really no god in the main world, even if you pray for tens of thousands of years.

For example, it is difficult to pass on the real objects intact in a catastrophe. The more precise the real objects are, the more difficult it is, and the incomplete ones are more likely to mislead future generations besides being used as decorations. It is also difficult to pass on complicated and rigorous knowledge. Also can be misleading.The easiest to pass on, and even if there are some mistakes in the transmission, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and are easy to correct, are the basic principles, short summaries, and even chicken soup that can be explained relatively completely in one or two sentences.The shortest straight line between two points, energy conservation and so on.

Don't be afraid of making mistakes in the process of inheritance. Inheritance is not to provide an absolutely correct answer for future generations, but just to make future generations less detours.

Don't expect to be wiped out by a catastrophe the previous time, and to crush the catastrophe next time. You must be able to endure the slowness of progress and be wary of the rapidity of regression.

After each catastrophe, there will be a comprehensive new construction. The experience handed down from before the catastrophe is only a reference and cannot be copied.

Accumulate quantitative changes little by little. I am not sure whether there will be a day when there will be a qualitative change, but you might as well always have hope.Don't let hope go out until it's over.

Cultivators mainly rely on individuals and small-scale teams to face the catastrophe, while mortals may have to rely on huge groups of hundreds of millions to fight against it.Then, one of the keys to breaking the situation may be how a mortal can keep a team of that magnitude from being dispersed and keep exerting their collective strength in such an earth-shaking environment like a catastrophe.

But how to do it, monks can't help, only mortals can give themselves the answer.

08099-demonstration

I let the release enthusiasts see a few videos of people being thrown into a pile of snakes, worms crawling over the rotting wounds, and the body of a hanging man being bitten by wild dogs.Fans of the release of life watched the best viewing angle and the high-definition version, while the people who were exclaiming and shooting subconsciously saw and recorded the hazy version, and staggered the most uncomfortable parts of the picture.

I once again explained to the public as the host: "The feeling of watching may not be deep, but if you think about it, if you are placed in the position of the protagonist who is being eaten, can you persist for 1 minute without collapsing? Don't worry, it won't hurt, even if The sense of touch deceives you into saying that you have been bitten, and at most you will feel itchy like a mosquito sack. It is impossible to be excruciatingly painful, but there is always at least one feeling that will make you oversubstitute, whether it is vision, hearing, or smell. "

"Didn't you say that you will only see images of evil spirits?"

Me: "Who said that? It's always about horror images, right?"

"Shouldn't the most terrifying thing be the grand battle scene? A large group of people use cold weapons to fight at the sight of blood."

Me: "That's right, I fell on the battlefield with my arms and legs cut off. Although I was still breathing, I couldn't climb out of the pile of corpses with my own strength, and no one came to check if there were any survivors in the pile of corpses. Time After a while, many animals will come to look for food."

"Isn't the battlefield always cleaned after the war?"

Me: "If both sides are dead, who will clean it?"

"No, aren't the people buried in the ancient cemetery of Wenran City all those who survived the battlefield? How could there be dead war scenes in their memory?"

Me: "It's not necessarily their personal experience, it may be what they heard from others, or someone else made their rumors, or they saw it when they passed by a certain place, or they almost raped themselves in a certain scene. A chronic nightmare after barely surviving a deadly battle."

Me: "The remaining power of the ancient cemetery comes from 'thoughts', so what the people buried in this ancient cemetery and the people who buried them actually experienced is not very important, what is important is their thoughts. What they yearn for, what they fear, the more they can affect their emotions, the more they can meet you across the millennium."

Me: "I admit that I deliberately selected the first batch of people who encountered horrible visions. I deliberately hurt mortals. I will go to the Special Affairs Department to pay a fine later. I will demonstrate it to you even if I am fined." Please understand the situation more deeply with gratitude, and decide whether you will stay or not based on your own actual situation."

"Young Master Pei, I have already left Wenran City with self-knowledge, so I don't need to use your demonstration for reference and evaluation, but I must collect a fine for your demonstration candidate. The one next to the pedestrian bridge Paralyzed by fright, I know the mentally retarded man who used to let snakes in the parks I frequent, and I am happy to see his retribution."

"It's all the life-release party. Although this gang of life-release parties always makes people suspect that they have done too much evil, and they get angry when they see their brainless life-release behaviors, but there are many more vicious criminals than them? Choose this one? It's kind of weird to show smite in a tight group..."
