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 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, the royal family was not bloodily purged, nor was it like Great Britain, which 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 him 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 appalling to have such a magical ability. He hadn't reacted yet.
I originally suspected that I was dazzled, but the person in front of me was not an illusion, not my dazzle, this was reality.
On the other side, Xu Xuan was thinking about the future path.
"After years of seclusion, my life span remains unchanged, still 110 years old, but my realm has risen slightly, and 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 conducted experiments on combining corpse-driving with steam robots, or engraving runes on steam and steel creations, but later found that ordinary steel could not carry spells and spiritual energy at all.
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 at all.
For example, to build a so-called modern and immortal combination aircraft, using spiritual energy and formations as power, ordinary metals cannot carry 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. There are formations inside shuttles to expand space. 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, there are also phoenix ancestors who have been exposed to 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 cultivation 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 world of cultivation, but a world slightly higher than this world. This world is low-level martial arts, and that world seems to be middle-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 rejection is not the size of the power. Even if the earth is destroyed and the solar system is destroyed, it will not have any impact on the universe. It is mainly because of the rules.
If he stayed in this world, his limit would probably be foundation building at best. This is not a matter of whether he has spiritual energy or not.
"There are no people like Lü Dongbin, Ge Hong, Guangchengzi, Chisongzi, etc. in this world. Maybe the level is not as good as my previous world."
As for spending decades or hundreds of years climbing up 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 something Xu Xuan cannot accept. How can he have the time?
His advantage is that he can travel between two worlds and enjoy the world's resources by himself.
Obviously, there are no resources suitable for foundation building or above in this world.
The two walked out of the jungle.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Let's take a walk around first. As a guide, you must not fulfill your duties as a landlord."
"I...Hello, Mr. Xu, my name is Xie Qi. The next trip will definitely satisfy you." Xie Qi just wanted to complain, but the moment she saw Xu Xuan transforming into fist-sized gold, she shut up. She had already ignored this How gold is made.
Carefully accepting the gold, Xie Qi's eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile.
"You really look like an old friend of mine." Xu Xuan smiled.
"what is her name?"
"I forgot, my memory is blurred." Xu Xuan skipped the topic.
Arriving at the small town, the two got on the bus and headed to the county town.
Jiaozhi has been renamed Nanyue. As a central city connecting Southeast Asia, this place has developed relatively well.
On the bus, although people were surprised that Xu Xuan had long hair and wore retro clothes, they didn't think anything of it.
Different from the world in Xu Xuan's previous life, in this world there are people who have always worn Hanfu, and some people have followed the costumes of the ancients, so there is no such thing as a revival of Hanfu.
After riding the bus for several hours, Xu Xuan arrived in a familiar big city.
There is a lot of traffic and people coming and going.
The invention of science and technology has greatly improved people's living standards.
The people in this world are lucky, they are not as cruel and 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 my mind.
"Xu Yong, Li Jianxing, Xu Dezhao, Ai Xiru... you did it."
There is a statue erected in the central square of the city. Judging from its appearance, it vaguely looks like Xu Yong. Sure enough, the Chinese characters below write the description of Emperor Han Chang, the emperor of the ages.
"Is there a museum library here? I want to see..."
Xu Xuan also wanted to know about history.
What kind of vitality does this civilization created by myself have, and what do future generations think of them?
"The library is far from here. Can the cinema be okay? There is a historical drama being played." Xie Qi said cautiously.
This person feels familiar yet unfamiliar with modern times. Could he be a ghost?
It's the kind of thing that's often shown on TV, where ancient ghosts travel through modern times.
Xu Xuan turned around and saw that there was a movie theater next to him.
"Okay, you scan the code, I don't have a mobile phone."
You can also watch movies. Official history books are official after all, and movies can better reflect the attitudes of the people.
It happened to be about the deeds of Xu Xuan, a great scientist and the leader of the Baidi Cult. Seeing my image being played out, I had a different feeling in my heart.
But when he saw the name of the movie, Xu Xuan had a bad feeling.
…
In the movie theater, a handsome young boy wearing ancient costume was looking at the woman lovingly on the screen.
Xu Xuan said affectionately: "Qingcheng, for you, I can give up the whole world; but the heavy responsibility of the nation is on my shoulders, and I cannot indulge in the love between my children. You wait for me to return from the war."
Qingcheng: "You are a great hero. I will wait for you to come back. The day when China is unified will be the time for us to enjoy the flowers on the road."
The camera turned, and that winter, Xu Xuan killed the barbarian lord in the northern capital.
On a cold day, Qingcheng was lying on the hospital bed. As soon as her hand dropped, the beauty passed away.
A sad song echoed across the screen.
"We have gone too hastily on this road
Embracing unreal desires
…
I no longer lament what you said about the impermanence of things in the world.
No longer look at the sun shining through the clouds in the sky
No longer looking for the promised paradise
I no longer lament what you said about the impermanence of things in the world.
The three inches of sunlight that cannot be borrowed..."
"The City Is Falling for You", synopsis: In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, people were in dire straits. At this moment, a girl who was supposed to be living an ordinary life in the 21st century fell in love...
At this moment, the man was silent, the woman cried, and Xu Xuan's face turned green.
