In the near future, Da Qin will fall into turmoil, and heroes will rise up to compete in the Central Plains.
This is a disaster for the world and a disaster for Qin Tian.
Because the world of mortals refines one’s mind, it is not just as simple as walking around in the world of mortals as people think.
What a person can never deceive is his own heart.
Even if you can temporarily forget what happened in the past, those regrets and unwillingness can still be buried deeply in your heart.
At some point, this time bomb will detonate directly, causing the practitioner to fail in his cultivation, or even die directly!
Whether they are Qi Refiners or so-called alchemists, from the perspective of ordinary people, their methods are simply mysterious and indescribable.
But when Qin Tian truly stepped into the ranks of practitioners, he soon discovered the differences in the world when casting spells.
As a liberal arts student, although his research on philosophy is not particularly in-depth, he still has much more knowledge than ordinary people.
After all, this is one of the courses he must learn. Philosophy is also a means for people to observe and understand the world.
If I could describe a practitioner in one sentence, it would be "I think, therefore I am."
The simplest and most intuitive example is the Huang Liang Yimeng that Qin Tian used on Ying Zheng just now.
Ying Zheng seems to be intoxicated in a dream and can never wake up, but it is actually very simple to break Huang Liang's dream.
Just tell Ying Zheng that this is a dream, and Qin Tian's spell will be broken instantly!
The success of a spell is closely related to the state of mind of the caster and the cognition of the recipient.
There are many folk tales and legends in Daxia, and many of the spells have similar shadows.
For example, in The Legend of White Snake, with one word from Fahai, the White Snake transformed into a high-rise courtyard, and the gold and silver money turned into the dung of a ruined temple.
For another example, an executioner told his friend who was about to be executed: When the execution time comes, just run forward and I will let go of the rope that binds you.
The prisoner on death row believed it to be true, and when it was time to be executed, he tried his best to escape. In the end, he survived, remained anonymous, married a wife and had children.
However, more than ten years later, the two met again by chance, and the executioner was shocked: I had already beheaded you, how could you still survive?
Upon hearing this, the condemned prisoner immediately understood that he was already dead, so his head immediately fell off and turned into white bones.
The most famous story is that of Bigan digging his heart out.
Bigan drank Jiang Ziya's talisman water, and he should be able to survive even if his heart was ripped out. The bad thing is that he met an old woman when he went out. The old woman said: "Caizu has no intention to live, and people have no intention to die."
Therefore, the effect of the spell was destroyed, and Bigan died on the spot.
There are not too many similar legends to illustrate that the so-called magic is actually a kind of "deception".
Of course, there are high and low levels of deception.
Those who are inferior can only deceive the ignorant people on the roadside, spit fire, turn into a beauty, and so on.
Those who are profound can live the dead with human flesh and white bones, and can do anything in heaven or on earth.
The so-called deception, when practiced to a high level, can deceive the whole world and deceive the way of heaven.
From Qin Tian's perspective, this is actually using his own heart to communicate between heaven and earth.
The words spoken follow the law, the thoughts come true, and the heavenly constitution is spoken. This is the ultimate result of practicing to the extreme.
When you practice to the point where even Heaven believes in your spells, no one in this world will be able to break your spells.
Therefore, the power of the heart is particularly important for Qi practitioners, so Qin Tian will pursue the perfection of the state of mind.
But with so many regrets in this world, how can it be so easy to achieve a perfect state of mind?
If you are not careful, it is only the best result that there is no hope for the future. It is more likely that you will stop moving forward from now on, or even die on the spot!
But Qin Tian was not afraid.
If he is still hesitant because of this kind of thing, then how can he talk about training his heart?
…
While Qin Tian was thinking, Ying Zheng finally woke up on the bed.
Ying Zheng stared at the ceiling in front of him for a long time before he finally recovered.
"Immortal...are the things I saw...all real?"
"Some have already happened, and some have not happened yet. What you see is reality." Qin Tian replied calmly.
"Then... the immortal has the power to predict the future?" Ying Zheng's voice was dry.
"That's not the case." Qin Tian shook his head and said: "Things that have happened before will definitely happen again. From ancient times to the present, in the last years of the dynasty, it is nothing more than these things."
"This is true for Xia, Shang, Zhou and the Six Kingdoms."
"Da Qin will not be an exception, and the future dynasty will not be an exception. The difference is just in different forms of expression."
"As for what you saw about Hu Hai..."
Qin Tian smiled faintly: "You can deduce how a person will behave in the future by looking at what he did in the past and what the people around him are experiencing now."
"Although he can't truly predict the future, what he will do in the future is probably very different."
Of course Qin Tian couldn't predict the future now, so he told Ying Zheng that this was the result he had deduced.
However, it is not much different from what will happen in the future.
"Confused, confused!" Ying Zheng's face was full of sadness: "How can I have such unworthy descendants!"
Recalling the coming troubled times he saw in his dream, and thinking about the Qin Dynasty that was about to be destroyed, Ying Zheng's face was full of pain.
"I beg the Immortal to save my country, the Qin Dynasty, and the people of the world!"
"Not long after the war ended, all the people in this world...cannot afford another war!"
Qin Tian sighed slightly: "If I can't save myself, how can I save all the people in the world?"
As a modern person who traveled from later generations and was also a liberal arts student, Qin Tian naturally had his own ideals in his heart.
If possible, he also wants the world to directly enter the ultimate stage and enter the Datong society!
But he doesn't have that ability. He takes the path of all things being unified and the great power being attributed to himself, not the path of everyone being like a dragon.
He can save one person, ten thousand people, or one hundred thousand people. How can he save the whole world?
Not to mention a million people, even if there were ten thousand people, Qin Tian was not confident that he could manage them well.
Wherever there are people, there are fights, and where there are fights, there are classes... These are far from things that Qin Tian can solve.
The simplest thing in this world is the human heart, and the most complicated thing is the human heart.
Therefore, people are the soul of all things, so practitioners can interfere with external things from their hearts and achieve various magical calligraphy.
Qin Tian's fate lies in the coming troubled times. If he can't control people's hearts, how can he save the world? Save Da Qin?
"There is no immortal person, and there will be no eternal dynasty."
"How...how could this happen?" Ying Zheng seemed a little distracted.
Now that he has decided to join the world, Qin Tian doesn't mind chatting more with Ying Zheng.
"If a person has lived from the beginning of the world to the present, do you think he will have eternal life?"
"This...how is this not eternal life?" Ying Zheng asked doubtfully.
"Then how do you know that he won't suddenly die tomorrow?" Qin Tian laughed softly.
"If a ship is constantly sailing and one part of it is replaced every day until all the parts on the ship are replaced, will the ship still be the same ship as before?"
"If a dynasty, from top to bottom, has changed everyone, and even the bloodline of the ruler has changed again for various reasons, then even if he still has the same name, this dynasty will still be the previous dynasty. ?"
"The two are the same thing."
The Ship of Theseus, as a philosophical question, triggered Ying Zheng's deep thinking.
"For another example, you are you now, but after you have experienced thousands of years of time and seen thousands of people, you suddenly realize that dynasties are not eternal, and rights are not everything...
You see through the world of mortals, escape into the mountains, and forget all fame and fortune. Do you think you, now, will still be you a thousand years from now? "
Ying Zheng's brain immediately shut down.
With his current knowledge, it is impossible to solve such a profound philosophical problem.
"The only thing that is eternal in the world is change itself." Qin Tian explained softly.
"All things reincarnate, birth, old age, illness and death, even the sun will die, even if its life span is measured in hundreds of millions of years."
“No one or anything is immortal.”
"The same is true for the dynasty." Qin Tian sighed: "The Qin Dynasty has done many unjust things, and its strength has been exhausted, so... don't ask for more."
Ying Zheng was still a little unwilling to give up and wanted to say something.
Qin Tian saw what the other party was thinking and shook his head helplessly: "I can save you, extend your life, and make you immortal in the eyes of ordinary people."
"But even so, you can't do anything, and Da Qin will only collapse and be destroyed in your eyes."
"Why!" Ying Zheng was a little dissatisfied: "How can Great Qin be destroyed when there are only a few people here?"
"Is it because I have run out of energy?"
Even though there is an immortal in front of him, Ying Zheng is still a little unconvinced: "I don't believe in Qi Shu. As long as I am here, Da Qin's Qi Shu will not be cut off!"
Qin Tian shook his head helplessly.
"Do you know what Qi Shu is?"
Qi number is not something mysterious and mysterious like fate.
Throughout history, many people have used things like Qi and destiny to fool emperors and common people.
But if you really want to explain it, it is actually very simple. The word "qi" is nothing more than the will of the people.
When the people no longer trust the military officials of a dynasty, the dynasty will come to its end.
This is the state of Da Qin today.
It takes years of hard work to build trust, but it can collapse in just a moment.
Now the people's trust in Da Qin has long since collapsed, because the people's life is so miserable that they can't even survive.
If a monarch cannot keep his people alive, how can the people trust him?
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms are eyeing the country, and there are Huns in the north who need to be resisted. The people do not have enough to eat, and rebellion will naturally arise.
Suppressing the rebellion requires troops and money, but the Qin Dynasty is carrying out large-scale construction projects and is short of money, so what should we do?
It is nothing more than raising taxes, and raising taxes will further make the people unable to live, and then set off a new rebellion.
This is where the vicious cycle begins.
The root cause of the demise of the Qin Dynasty was already doomed from the beginning of Yingzheng's massive construction projects.
That’s why the genius of Qin would say that the fall of the Qin Dynasty was entirely due to Ying Zheng.
If he can recuperate and recuperate, if he doesn't make great achievements, if he doesn't pursue immortality...
I'm afraid that an unprecedented dynasty will leave a dazzling mark in the long history of history!
But there are not so many ifs in the world. Qin Tian can change the future, but even he can't do anything about what happened in the past.
Ying Zheng finally gave up and accepted his fate.
"That's it, that's it..."
There was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes: "So my Da Qin...is destined to perish?"
Before that, he could blame it all on his unworthy descendants and external factors.
But when Qin Tian mercilessly stripped him of this bloody reality, he could no longer deceive himself and could only admit that the root cause of Great Qin's demise actually lay with him.
"But..." Qin Tian suddenly said: "Although he is dead in this life, there may be a chance to renew his relationship in the next life."
"Next life?" Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Is there really such a thing as reincarnation in this world?"
Qin Tian shook his head repeatedly: "Of course there is no reincarnation in this world. At least I have not discovered reincarnation. When a person dies, he is dead."
Except for a few people who can survive in this world for a short period of time due to their excessive spiritual power after death.
But after losing the support of the physical body, these spiritual powers will quickly dissipate like water without a source and a tree without a root.
So there is no so-called reincarnation in this world.
Determining whether a person exists can be simply judged by his life and death, but what should be relied on to determine whether a dynasty survives?
ruler? army? Bloodline?
In fact, it is the spirit.
The same is true for people.
If a person's mind never dies, then even if his body dies, his person will remain forever.
The same goes for Dynasty.
Ying Zheng is equivalent to the thought and spirit of Da Qin. If he had not died, the army he led would not have perished.
It doesn't matter if everyone else is dead, as long as he waits for the opportunity, he can establish his own dynasty again!
"But next time... when will it be?" Ying Zheng was a little anxious.
"I don't know." Qin Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know when the next dynasty will be established, nor when it will perish."
"Maybe thirty to fifty years, maybe three to five hundred years."
"No one knows what the future rulers of a dynasty will be like."
"However, unless the next dynasty is just like you and has sown troubles from the beginning, you will have to wait for more than a hundred years no matter what."
"Why...more than a hundred years?" Ying Zheng was a little confused.
"The founding king of a dynasty is often wise, and his son will inherit his father's will. By the third generation, with the accumulation of the first two generations, the dynasty will reach its peak."
"But after a long period of peace, when the emperor's achievements can no longer be more, it is time for the emperor to start to slack off. This is how it is when he flourishes and then declines."
