Chapter 108 Descendants
"Descendants of the fourth generation leader?" Of course Li Sixian knew who it was.
Gengwu's contribution to the Baidi Sect was not very high, but he was famous in the history field. Gengwu was the first Chinese to land in America. Because he was unfavorable during the Taiping and Commercial Rebellion, he was beaten to the end by the Celestial Master.
Gengwu did not immerse himself in this, but devoted himself to collecting Chinese classics lost in the war, and even the manuscripts of foreign scholars. The Chinese Library, known as the world's largest collection of books, is Gengwu's masterpiece.
"Exactly, I can assure you that these are all true. The only secret order of Tianzihao in Changguo is in the hands of the Celestial Master. The ancestors left family instructions before their death so as not to deceive our descendants."
Geng Xin coughed several times, paused his crutches on the ground, and said, "Relevant departments have been studying Huangting Neijing Pills. The organisms in the pills do not conform to any modern genetic inheritance."
"Did it reappear?" Li Sixian asked.
"How is that possible? You are overestimating the current technology. Huang Ting Neijing Wan can at best analyze its ingredients. As for reproduction, there is still a lot missing."
The two of them went to the room where Geng Xin lived outside the archives and made a cup of tea. Li Sixian was still immersed in shock.
"It's unbelievable that the ancients could do this." Li Sixian drank a cup of tea to ease the shock in his heart, and now he can accept it.
"Haha, your understanding of the ancients is too shallow. We just look at everything in the world from a different perspective. Without modern instruments, what would be the difference between us and the ancients? Whether it is a steam engine or a power plant, in the final analysis, it is still the principle of nature. "
"According to ancient books, the immortal's body is clean and pure, with no tears in his eyes, no mucus in his nose, no dirt in his mouth, no stool in his intestines, no urine in his kidneys, and no dirt in his ears... Can modern technology do it? Even if it is If it’s done, it’s probably harmful to the human body.”
“Where do books come from?”
"According to records from Hanshui Hospital, this was Tianshi's first and only physical examination, recorded by Patriarch Xie Miao himself. In addition to these, the doctors found that there were no bacteria on the surface of Tianshi's body. Even if he did not eat or drink for a month, It can also maintain its peak.”
"He is truly a man of God."
"In addition to these, the gods recorded in ancient books can control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, use magic to create things out of thin air, and even use space techniques. They may have a deeper understanding of the universe than we do, but we just don't understand it."
From the steam engine to today's nuclear energy, haven't humans always been boiling water?
Some people always think that magic becomes stronger when combined with modern technology.
Those are all irrelevant things.
Ancient people held umbrellas when it rained, and modern people held umbrellas when it rained, but the materials were different.
Modern people are good at using modern industrial products to observe the world, while ancient monks regarded themselves as the universe and used internal evidence to understand the external world.
Modern people use chemotherapy and other methods to treat cancer, and monks have the energy to kill germs, or prevent this from happening in the first place.
"What we can do, the ancients may not be able to do. What makes modern people better than the ancients is productivity."
Xu Xuan once proposed a theory about fish-man Taoists, which is still famous today.
The human child slaps the water, causing ripples on the water. The fish-man Taoist priests observed this phenomenon and summarized various laws and theorems, as well as the avenue behind it. It may be that the reason behind it is just the human child slapping the water.
"What the old gentleman said is that I underestimated the ancients, and I am really ashamed."
"No need, I'm just talking, it's a family thing."
Geng Xin talked a lot. He probably stayed too long and had no one to talk to.
Li Sixian held his outline and couldn't speak for a long time.
"That's all, let's follow the official one."
Even if it is decrypted, it is impossible for anyone to believe it. It is better to let this secret be completely buried in history.
Afterwards, the two chatted while drinking tea. Li Sixian was like a curious student, listening to Geng Xin look at history from another perspective.
"It's a pity. Wu Yan got to see the true face of the immortal. Only then did I realize how magnificent the history back then was."
In Li Sixian's life, it is truly worth it to see the truth of history today.
It turns out that the truth of history is like this. The passages mentioned in history books are so thrilling when placed in history.
The two chatted from history to modern times, from metaphysics to science.
Although it was their first meeting, the two of them still had a good conversation.
"Are you actually a physicist?" Li Sixian asked in surprise.
"I'm not talented. When I was young, I also had a Ph.D. in physics, cough cough."
Geng Xin talks so much about metaphysics and ancient people that others think he is a rigid old scholar. Unexpectedly, he is so familiar with modern science and has a doctorate.
"How do you think science compares with metaphysics?" Li Sixian asked.
"It's hard to say, after all, I haven't personally experienced metaphysics, but physics in recent years has become more and more confusing. It's a bit unreal. There may be a problem with the framework. The overall science has almost stagnated, and there is basically no big innovation. "
In the eyes of physicists like them, faster Internet speeds and more powerful bombs are not considered high technology.
From small splashes to big splashes, they are just splashes after all. You cannot say you have seen the truth until you find the child who splashed the water.
"What a pity..." Li Sixian suddenly thought of something and asked, "Logically speaking, Xu Tianshi should be immortal, why is he missing?"
Hearing this, Geng Xin's face turned serious, he put down his tea cup and walked out of the window.
Lively entertainment and busy traffic.
The hundreds of years of prosperity in Zhongjing can be seen in the crowds of people coming and going, but the people today are no longer the people they used to be.
The old man's eyes seemed to see through the void. During the period of Taiping and Shang Dynasty, that night, the Heavenly Master said a word of retreat, and three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Sixian came behind him.
"I also don't know that Great Britain, the Republic of HRE, North America, China, and Australia, Yin, Japan, Luzon, and Song (Java) that belong to the Chinese cultural circle... these countries have sent people to search for heaven. They wanted to find the traces of the ancient master, but unfortunately found nothing. They all thought that the master was dead, and finally gave up the search. "
An organization cannot look for something that does not exist and look for it for hundreds of years.
"Do you think he is still there?" Li Sixian said.
"Today, he is the true king of the world, the most powerful holy king since ancient times. From Europe to China, from the Roman emperor to the monarch of China, everyone is bathed in his glory. It is impossible for such a transcendent figure not to Appear."
"Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
"Why?"
"Because you are the most experienced expert, I believe you will be able to find clues to the Celestial Master."
This is the inheritance of more than ten generations over the past three hundred years.
Geng Xin's great-grandfather was the last manager of China's search for true immortals during the World War.
"I'll give it a try." Li Sixian smiled bitterly.
I'm afraid he doesn't have this ability, but this also aroused his curiosity and rekindled his desire for archaeology.
Soon, he reported the project. As expected, the project was rejected, and he had to pay for it out of his own pocket.
Unfortunately, nothing was found in the end.
Xu Xuan's formations are not that easy to crack, especially the Tomb Guarding Formation Bai Chi Ya. These formations do not create a barrier out of thin air to block others, but are integrated with nature so that no one can notice this. .
A few months later, a fit woman with complete outdoor equipment came to the jungle. Judging from her equipment and tanned but heroic face, she was not just an ordinary travel companion; Explorer, zoologist and botanist.
"Huh, I'm so tired. Who said there were ancient giant centipedes? Liars, a bunch of liars! How could there be giant centipedes in this place?"
Xie Qi wiped the sweat from his head.
Hiss! !
At this time, she heard a loud noise and saw a huge centipede slowly crawling out of the woods in front of her. This centipede was as big as a crocodile, and its bright red scales shone with metallic luster.
"Is there really an ancient giant centipede?\
,"Xie Qi's eyes lit up, and his first reaction was not to run away, but to take out his camera and take pictures.
She is not afraid of death, and her desire for adventure is far greater than her own life. If this photo is circulated, it may not shock the world.
At this time, Centipede noticed her and was running towards her quickly.
Xie Qi threw away the camera and took out her trump card - the Desert Eagle large-caliber pistol.
Bang bang bang!
Three consecutive shots, the huge recoil made her hands numb, but the gun did not fall out of her hands. It seemed that she was still an expert.
The bullet penetrated the centipede's carapace and spurted out green juice. The centipede still had enough energy to crawl towards her.
Bang bang bang! !
Xie Qi jumped back flexibly and quickly emptied the magazine.
Soon, the centipede died.
Xie Qi collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely, with a frightened look on his face: "Finally dead."
Click, click, click...
At this time, a louder noise came.
Xie Qi followed the reputation and saw something even more terrifying happened.
I saw a pale hand stretching out from the soil, followed by another hand.
His arms were covered with mud, and then he stretched them to both sides, and a figure jumped out.
"Bah, where did the dirt come from?"
I saw a strong wind blowing and a flash of golden light. The man disappeared again. When he reappeared, he had changed into clean clothes.
Yes, this person is Xu Xuan, who has been refining Taiyin for three hundred years.
Xu Xuan looked at the sky, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the majestic power in his body and the mirror on his chest that was constantly emitting heat.
At this time, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and discovered that there was a woman wearing modern clothes next to him.
Seeing the woman's face, Xu Xuan's eyes narrowed, then returned to normal, and said to the stunned woman: "Little girl, what year is it today?"
The man in ancient costume in front of him, who was in the deep mountains and old forests, greatly shocked Xie Qi's world view. Is this a magic spell? God or monster?
"You...who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I exist. I'm naturally real and I won't hurt you. Don't worry about that."
The woman was not an ordinary woman. She didn't cry. Her expression changed for a moment, and she stopped asking. Instead, she answered honestly: "This... um, sir, this year is 2016."
"Is Chang Guo still there?" Xu Xuan asked, "Just call me Lao Xu."
When asked about the news about Chang Guo, Xu Xuan felt a little uneasy.
Have the descendants of the Xu family completed their historical mission?
Wouldn't this bunch of unpromising descendants have done something unworthy of power and been driven out of office?
He wasn't worried about the safety of these descendants. After all, he didn't know them. They had enjoyed the blessing for so many generations, so that was enough; he was just worried that he and his brother would have a less than perfect ending to their lifetime achievements.
The monarchy will eventually pass away, and if it exits gloriously and elegantly, it will be a good story; if it refuses to leave, but reverses the trend, or even acts as emperor for foreign powers, it will be a shame. Xu Xuan will kill them if he sees it.
