In the chaotic era, there was no clear distinction between cultivators and monsters. After all, the monsters were not much different from humans in appearance, and the monsters themselves were not unified, and each major race had its own In the state of fighting, some cultivators even have members of the demon clan. Similarly, there are also humans among the demon clan. However, this is only a minority and not the mainstream. In fact, this state is relatively easy to understand. After all, in troubled times, everyone is thinking about how to survive, and identity is not an important thing. At that time, although the demon pill of the demon clan was a very valuable thing, to be honest, The golden elixir and Yuanying of cultivators also have the same effect.
After Lord Lingdi came to power, the new rules clearly stipulated that innocent people could not be killed indiscriminately, and cannibalism was also prohibited. At that time, it was very common to use cultivators' golden elixirs and Yuanying to refine elixirs. With an order from Emperor Ling, the habit that had been formed for many years suddenly became a crime. This was still a common practice in those days. There was an uproar. However, Lord Ling Emperor is too powerful, so this kind of thing can only be hidden in private darkness. Unfortunately, as time goes by, the effect of the ban becomes stronger and stronger, and it is too difficult to hunt cultivators' golden elixirs or Yuanying on a large scale. In the past, everyone fought with each other and caused many casualties. Therefore, the number of cultivators was actually not many. However, decades after the establishment of the new order, the most significant change was that the number of cultivators began to increase.
The increase in population was originally a good thing, but for the elixir market, which promoted cultivation, there was an insufficient supply due to raw material problems. Back then, when refining elixirs, everyone was accustomed to using golden elixirs or Yuanying to refine them. Therefore, it was unrealistic to find a new refining method in a short period of time. Therefore, when cultivators and demon clansmen After the war broke out, the major forces immediately found a solution that could change this phenomenon, and that was the demon clan's demon pill.
For humans, interests must be above all else. When the red-eyed cultivator discovers that the monsters in front of him are all walking gold coins, there is no way to end the matter. Lord Lingdi understands that even if he takes action forcefully and wants to kill all the cultivators who massacre innocent monsters, this is still very unrealistic. At this stage, no one dares to say that their hands are not stained with the blood of those innocent monsters. Therefore, when Lord Ling Emperor questioned the man, the man also became hesitant.
The man knew very well that he only discovered the truth through personal experience on the battlefield. He did not dare to say that before he discovered it, all the monsters he killed were innocent. After seeing the man's performance, Lord Spiritual Emperor sighed and said: "Let's forget about this. You don't have to be sentimental. The establishment of a new order will inevitably be accompanied by sacrifices. As long as the spiritual world can become better from now on, everything will be fine." Everything that has happened has been worth it.”
The man finally left the manor where Master Ling Emperor was in despair. They had agreed before that the man would be punished. As a result, Master Ling Emperor did not mention the matter again because of his guilty conscience, and the man simply forgot to do it. Clean, because the truth caused the man great pain, and he no longer knew where he should go in the future.
The war between the demon clan and the cultivators finally ended when the demon clan ran to the outer sea. Although the attitude of the cultivators in Lingdu Continent towards the demon clan has not changed, and the war has not been declared over, in fact, the cultivators in Lingdu Continent have stopped attacking the demon clan. The man still continued to travel on the Lingdu Continent, but throughout the travel process, he was always in a state of confusion, and even became inactive in cultivation. But even so, the man still transcended the tribulation period and came to the early stage of Mahayana.
The cultivators of the early Mahayana period were definitely the best in that era. In addition, the man's unique skills in the spiritual aspect made the man walking on the Lingdu continent rarely have any opponents. After the war, Lady Lingdi’s control over Lingdu Continent reached its strongest period. She successively made some major reforms to the new order and new rules, which made the inspection agency become the new order of the spiritual world in one fell swoop. At the same time, the emergence of the Supervisory Brigade is equivalent to adding another layer of support to the inspection agencies and major forces, so that no one dares to act as recklessly as before. In short, Lingdu Continent The level of civilization is getting stronger day by day. Junqu Pavilion
However, in the eyes of men, the rules set by Lord Ling Emperor are actually full of loopholes. They are just bright on the surface, but secretly, they are rotten at the root. The man believed that Lord Lingdi must know all this, but she did not have the courage to really change everything. Therefore, when the man really couldn't stand it, he always used to confront the Ling Emperor. However, he also understood that he could not defeat him alone, so he never went too far. Once things went beyond his imagination , he would get out in time, use fake death or frame other people to escape from the sight of the patrol.
"That's not right. According to historical records, didn't the Scholar with Thousand Faces always use a double to charge into battle?" Du Tinghan felt that Sima You's words were inconsistent with historical records.
"Substitute, haha, where are the substitutes? I really don't know how those patrol members could be so stupid back then. In fact, I never use a substitute. Besides, I don't have the ability to capture a normal cultivator and become my substitute. If I have this ability, then I might as well organize an army of substitutes and come directly to overthrow you. Wouldn't this be a better choice?" Sima You said with a sneer.
"Perhaps, if you want to control the avatar, you can do it with one or two, but if there are more, you won't be able to control it?" Du Tinghan gave a guess.
"Not to mention multiple people, none of them can do it. Seizing a body can only be successful by chance. What's more, it is completely impossible to turn a living person into your own substitute." Sima You shook his head. head, replied.
"Then what's really going on?" Du Tinghan frowned and asked.
"It's actually simple. Short-term mind control is easy to achieve. Therefore, when the patrol is about to find me, I only need to confuse a few key people and make them think that I am dead, or turn the blame on others. I will naturally be able to escape smoothly." The answer Sima You gave was indeed very simple, so simple that Du Tinghan found it incredible.
Sima You saw the stunned Du Tinghan and knew that she could not accept this fact for a moment, so he started to explain: "People are easy to be confused for a while, but if you expect that others will always be confused, then you are stupid. Regarding inspections The same is true for the team members. Maybe they were fooled by me at first, but they will wake up later. However, after they have reached the conclusion, they will never correct this mistake easily. Facts Come on, stop talking about them, even the strongest cultivator, Lord Ling Emperor, will not admit that he was wrong."
After Du Tinghan heard Sima You's words, his brows finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. While laughing, he clapped his hands: "Wonderful and insightful, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! It turns out, The elusive Scholar with a Thousand Faces was created in this way through erroneous historical records."
"Yes, it is better to believe in history than to believe in facts. Now, you understand, I am Sima You, Sima You is me, and this magical scholar with a thousand faces is indeed very different from the real me." Sima You also laughed.
"I believe this, but you have used psychic attacks on me. It seems that you have underestimated your ability!" Du Tinghan remembered that time with lingering fear.
"Haha, this is not to turn you into my substitute. Everyone has a strong mind, especially a powerful cultivator like you. It is impossible for me to occupy your mind. I am only slightly changing your attitude toward me. attitude, so that I can have the opportunity to explain my thoughts to you." Sima You explained with a smile.
"You can just say it, why bother?" Du Tinghan didn't believe Sima You's explanation.
"Speaking directly, it is definitely not possible. You were very afraid of me at that time. Under this premise, you would have doubts about anything I said. Besides, at that time, we did not have enough time, so we could only march Risky." Sima You shook his head and replied, "Attitude is a very important prerequisite for convincing someone. If you trust me, even if I lie to you, the chance of success is very high. However, you yourself If you don’t trust me, even if what I say is correct, you won’t believe me. In fact, many of the things Lord Ling Emperor did are wrong from today’s perspective, but back then, everyone Treating Lord Ling Emperor as an idol, it can be said that her farts taste good, and no one dares to question her."
Sima You's words were very vulgar, but they gave Du Tinghan a feeling of resonance. However, Du Tinghan did not show it. Instead, she pretended to be shocked, stared at her almond-shaped eyes, and asked: "How can you slander Lord Ling Emperor like this? Without Lord Ling Emperor, the spiritual world would not be in such a bad state now." Maybe, all the cultivators have been eliminated."
"If the cultivators are eliminated, it is also the self-selection of the cultivators. There is no problem. However, Lord Ling Emperor's action has changed the process. This is not in line with the development of the situation. This is the biggest mistake." Sima You's words were very sharp, which deeply touched Du Tinghan.
After all, Du Tinghan is a cultivator. Although she is well-read, her thinking framework still cannot escape the perspective of a cultivator. Therefore, it is inevitable that she will have some blind spots. In fact, their Presbyterian Council often meets together to study the gains and losses of Lord Ling Emperor. The relative peace and stability of the spiritual world for hundreds of years has indeed made the internal and external environment where cultivators live much better. However, the increase in the number of cultivators has made the spiritual environment of the spiritual world worse and worse. Many times, they They all believe that if the Spiritual Emperor had not come forward and adopted the cruel law of the jungle, maybe the spiritual environment would not have become so bad.
But no matter what Du Tinghan thought, she would never want to see cultivators withdraw from the historical stage of the spiritual world. But now Sima You's words showed that he didn't have any problem with cultivators being eliminated, which made Du Tinghan feel that it was a bit too much. However, she thought in a blink of an eye that Sima You was originally born in the West Wind Continent, and it was indeed normal to have such thoughts.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now. According to your actual age, your lifespan should have expired long ago, right? This is not in line with the development pattern of the situation!" Du Tinghan decided to change the topic and talk about this first How did the guy survive so long.
Sima You is only a cultivator in the middle stage of Mahayana. Therefore, although his actual age is still much younger than Lord Ling Emperor, Lord Ling Emperor is a cultivator in the late stage of Mahayana. It is normal for the life span of the two to be different. However, few cultivators in the middle stage of Mahayana can live beyond five hundred years, and this guy has obviously exceeded five hundred years, which is very abnormal.
"Haha, you may have forgotten that I was once a demon, so my physical body still has some advantages compared to cultivators. Otherwise, when you cripple my cultivation, I should die immediately. Yes." Sima You's answer made Du Tinghan feel that she had missed the point. Originally, she thought that Sima You was hiding a big secret, but the result was so unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
Du Tinghan shook his head, smiled bitterly for a while, and decided to let Sima You continue his story. After all, his second half was also full of questions.
The man saw that the Lingdu Continent was becoming more and more stable under the rule of Lord Ling Emperor. His actions were just scratching the surface and had no practical effect at all. Therefore, the man decided not to blindly take action. I am determined to calm down and practice, hoping to improve my strength as soon as possible. Maybe when I become stronger, it will not be too late to continue the unfinished resistance cause.
