The "new era" is like a weight, weighing on everyone's hearts.
Director Liu took a deep breath. These words took up too much energy from him. He held on his body and looked at everyone expectantly, but no one dared to say anything. Everyone looked at Mayor Zhao on the throne. Consider his attitude.
Director Liu's words are compared to the Industrial Revolution, the Cambrian Period, and even the Big Bang.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Director Liu emphasized:
"Dear directors, everyone has climbed up by crawling and rolling. Do you know the timeliness?"
"City Mayor!!"
"The emergence of Daoxianjing represents danger as well as opportunity."
"Ordinary people who have mastered power are very likely to have evil thoughts, ranging from fighting to robbing and killing. The opportunity is that if we can master such power in advance and use it for our own purposes, we can better manage it. City, manage the north, manage the entire Xia Kingdom... This may be the most important turning point in the rolling wheel of history."
“If we don’t seize this opportunity when we go to the city, will there be another chance in the future?”
What economy, people's livelihood, market... can compare to evolution?
Everyone fell into deep thinking for a while.
Zhang Huaiyi looked at the picture on the screen and the protagonist's breathing, and his heart was as shocked as a wave.
The truth is far from what Zhang Huaiyi thought. It is neither a religion nor a ghost rumor, but a true...cultivation of immortality.
Humans can actually become immortals?
In this regard, Zhang Huaiyi's first thought was timidity and suspicion.
There is no free pie in the sky, and there is no free lunch in the world. These two sentences are engraved in the hearts of the people of Xia State.
But thinking about it again, Zhang Huaiyi has seen too many people who dare not pick up the pie and dare not eat the free lunch.
Such an attractive thing, the opportunity to become an immortal is right in front of you. Do you really want to shrink back because of your own cowardice?
Zhang Huaiyi's thoughts were in turmoil. He wanted to think carefully, but he didn't have the time.
"Liu Bureau, what you said is wonderful, but you also concealed a lot."
This time, it was Bureau Chen, who was choking with Zhang Huaiyi in the elevator, who asked:
"Is it possible that this practice has no side effects at all?"
"Of course."
Bureau Liu said calmly, but his face was filled with righteousness:
"That is because cultivation is extremely difficult. Not everyone can handle it. This also represents the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest."
"Is it because it is difficult and painful that we should not try? These are all processes, and as long as the result is right, we should persevere!"
Director Liu's words were so precise that Zhang Huaiyi couldn't fault him at all. If it was just pain, it really wasn't a particularly big price to pay.
Zhang Huaiyi spoke up. Even though he was the youngest in the audience, he did not suffer from stage fright:
"Liu Bureau, how do you know...this road will eventually lead to evolution. What if it leads to the abyss, or death? No one knows whether this set of techniques is a trap or an opportunity."
Zhang Huaiyi said this, still not at ease with this so-called "immortal method".
"Hahaha, Secretary Zhang is indeed right."
Director Liu laughed loudly, and then looked at everyone with confident eyes——
"Of course I don't want everyone to try it. We only need some people to try it and see where this road can go. Isn't that enough?"
"This step has to be taken, and there are risks in everything we do. Is it possible that we have to rest on our laurels and eventually become a veteran like Xia Dang, resting on our laurels and only knowing how to make some meaningless changes!!"
"City Chief Zhao, it's useless to talk more. Tell me what you think!"
Zhang Huaiyi's words were blocked in his mouth. Bureau Liu was a smart man and knew how to throw the conversation to the city mayor. However, Zhang Huaiyi, who raised this issue, seemed to be stuck in his ways and did not know how to make progress.
The meeting room was tense, but everyone knew that the final say was still in the hands of Mayor Zhao.
Mayor Zhao crossed his hands on his chest, rocked the chair back and forth, closed his eyes slightly, and took deep breaths from time to time, reflecting his thinking. Zhang Huaiyi rubbed his palms, feeling a little nervous.
After a long time, Mayor Zhao finally spoke.
"I see."
Mayor Zhao opened his eyes. When he was talking about business, there was no trace of a smile on his face. Instead, he looked serious and awe-inspiring:
"What you all said makes sense. Cultivation... this must be an epoch-making thing. As far as I know, no city has reported this problem yet."
"Even if we are not the first, we are still the first city to contact Taoist Immortals. Maybe this is also a kind of destiny."
Hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi sighed, crossed his hands, and rubbed his index fingers together, while the city chief continued to speak.
"As Director Liu said, now people are involved in cultivation. If we blindly suppress their cultivation, it will make society unstable and more difficult to control. And if our people do not practice, it will be difficult to control those who practice secretly. , this is a real problem.”
"If you blindly praise it, you may make the mistake of taking a big step forward. If you make a mistake, you will risk everyone's life."
"Then we simply...just continue to maintain the status quo."
"It is neither suppressing nor stopping. In line with the changes of the times, we can also allow some internal personnel to conduct training on a voluntary basis."
To rule by doing nothing?
“Our name in the city is openness and leadership.”
"We are taking risks and taking the first step for the sake of the people!"
"The mayor is righteous!"
Everyone agreed. Although Zhang Huaiyi sighed in his heart, he still agreed.
Although these words are neither support nor objection, the subconscious of the words still supports participating in cultivation.
To be honest, Zhang Huaiyi couldn't find a reason to refute. Shangcheng is a city famous for its advanced and open nature. It welcomes the outside world every day. Today there are Taoist immortals, tomorrow there are Buddhist immortals, and the next day there are Christian immortals. It's all possible. If something It's forbidden, but it's not like going to the city.
Now that things have come to a point, don’t make such ignorant rebuttals.
"Since the city mayor allows everyone to choose according to their own will, then I also respect everyone's opinions."
Bureau Liu immediately picked up the conversation and said:
"I have made rubbings of the Dao Immortal Sutra and will distribute it to everyone now. If you want to practice, you can study it carefully over there. If you don't want to, then just go to the sky and go to one side."
A blue-covered scripture came into Zhang Huaiyi's hand. Zhang Huaiyi smiled slightly and put the scripture in his pocket.
"Then thank you Bureau Liu."
"You're welcome, Huaiyi."
Bureau Liu glanced at Zhang Huaiyi suddenly, and then quickly turned away.
Zhang Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, looking at Director Liu's back, feeling a little strange.
There is even more permeating oppression.
may be......
The role of cultivation.
