Chapter 44: Inner Volume and the Age of Xuanmen(1/2)
"So, what's the special thing about the soul?" I asked directly at the many disciples and fellow Taoists sitting in front of him.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the real world five years ago, that is, twenty-five years ago in the Ming Dynasty. That year, when I just broke through, I also said this in my preaching.
Thinking of this, I sighed silently in my heart: The deceased is like this, and I will never give up day and night!
Five years passed so quickly!
What happened in the past five years? It will start from when the Chu army set out to fight.
When the Chu army set out in a mighty manner, and when King Zhao worshipped Wu Qi as his prime minister, a new era began!
This new era can be called the Xuanmen era!
In the old days, all the rulers of the nations were nobles. Whether you can become a prime minister depends mainly on whether you have a father who is a prime minister. Whether you can become a general or not depends on whether you can fight, but on whether you have a father who is a general.
At that time, bloodline determines everything, and personal abilities are insignificant in front of bloodline.
Even if there are occasionally people with poor backgrounds who hold high positions, it is because they have gained the appreciation of the monarch. Without the support of the monarch, people without backgrounds will have no hope.
In the old era, in a nutshell, it can be said that there are all kings, princes, generals and ministers!
In the original history, it was the Warring States Period that after the rituals and music were broken, the countries attacked each other, and the nobles killed each other for more than two hundred years. Then, Qin Shihuang emerged, fought for the rest of the six generations, and used the power of one country to kill the six countries and unify the world.
At this moment, the power of the nobles finally dropped to the lowest point!
Because the vast majority of the nobles died in the Warring States Period, which lasted for more than two hundred years, and died in this self-killing killing.
This is like Europe during World War I and World War II. Originally, the world at that time belonged to the European countries. Even if it was the United States, before World War I, it was just a rich but not strong little brother.
However, after the European countries fought against each other in World War I and World War II, they fell. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the United States, the Soviet Union and even China's rise.
The same is true for the nobles. Even after more than two hundred years of killing each other, they did not decline until Liu Bang became the emperor.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that the imperial examinations rose on a large scale that the nobles completely declined.
In other words, in the original history, the nobles fought each other from the Warring States Period to the large-scale rise of the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty and the large-scale rise of poor people and the large-scale entry of the poor into the court, which was considered to be completely extinct.
Just like this, after death, people continue to summon souls, and there are always people who think that their family can last forever!
But in this world, besides the motionless stone, who else can go through countless years and time for thousands of years?
Now, after the birth of Xuanmen, the era of aristocratic families has begun to come to an end in just five years!
The three families of Jin State, Han, Zhao and Wei, and Zhi Family were competing for reform, which was the first to be the only one who was born. The small and medium-sized nobles of Jin State had complaints, but unfortunately, neither Zhao Wuxiu, Wei Si (Wei Wenhou), nor Zhi Yao were comparable to ordinary people.
If the small and medium-sized nobles dare to resist, they will directly suppress them!
With them, political strongmen, especially after they learned about the centralization of the Ming Dynasty, and especially after they carefully studied the history of the political struggle of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, ordinary small and medium-sized aristocrats were in their hands and had no power to resist.
Some were played to death in their sleep, some were betrayed by their friends, some were betrayed by their wives, some were betrayed by their tribe members, some were crushed to death openly, and some were killed by conspiracy, thirty-six strategies, each showing its magical powers. In just five years, the small and medium-sized nobles of Jin were tortured to death, either completely surrendering to the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei or Zhiyao, or waiting to die!
Those who do not surrender or take sides will be killed by both sides!
The good Central Jin State turned into a cemetery for the nobles.
When Wu Qi became the prime minister, and when one characteristic town after another of Jiangnan characteristics rose up, the nobles were like snowflakes in winter fell into the boiling water in summer, and they melted with a rush.
When the population directly under King Zhao was as large as one million, the nobles did not dare to openly oppose him.
When the population directly under King Zhao was as high as three million, the nobles did not even dare to slander him in secret.
When the population directly under King Zhao was as high as five million, some nobles who could not accept reality hanged themselves and committed suicide. The rest began to sing and dance and became particularly loyal. Each of them was a loyal minister and did not even have much room for fiefs. Most of them lived in the capital for a year to enjoy their happiness. As for more, they didn't dare to think about it.
In Qi State, when the Tian family led an army of 100,000 left Qi State, the Qi State underwent a drastic change.
Overseas, Jiang Ju led the new recruits to attack the Japanese islands. A large number of new recruits died, but those who were still alive gradually became elite soldiers.
There are more and more Chinese people, sir and barons who are loyal to Jiang Ju. In just half a year, Jiang Ju recruited Chinese and savages three times.
The first time, 30,000 were recruited, the second time, 30,000 was recruited, and the third time, 30,000 was recruited.
Therefore, when Tian returned to Qi with more than 90,000 troops in half a year, Jiang Ju directly brought the 50,000 troops who had seen blood and lined up to welcome him.
At the same time, Wang Xu took Pang Juan, Sun Bin and Feng Yi to open the road and stood beside Jiang Ju.
When Tian Qi saw Wang Xu, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Feng Yi, Jiang Ju, Changkong, and six complete masters of the state of perfection of the Unleashed Realm standing together, he understood that the times have changed!
The reason why people did not show their strength before was just to take over Qi State with all their strength. Otherwise, if these six masters from the Wulu Realm came out together, even if the Tian family had many direct descendants, they would not be able to defend themselves from assassination without martial ethics.
Tian Qi only thought for a moment and then made the decision to surrender.
He mobilized all forces of the Tian family to create momentum for Jiang Ju, and openly suggested that Jiang Ju be appointed as the prince of Qi, and then let his son Tian Heng take the most core backbone elite of the Tian family to overseas, join Jiang Ju's command, start as a recruit, and start training.
At the same time, the general's power was handed over to Jiang Ju instead of the Duke of Qi.
From that day on, Qi State entered the ginger and orange era.
Jiang Ju is named Tai Nu, but she is actually the governor.
Tian was so tactful that Jiang Ju could not treat her heroes unfairly, so Tian Heng quickly became her baron and viscount under her command, and had a small fiefdom overseas.
Since then, Wang Xu became the prime minister of Qi. As Jiang Juxiangfu, he took over the power of Qi and began reform. The content of the reform is simple and radical: no matter whether it is born, he can get promoted with ability.
If it were other times, Wang Xu would never dare to be so radical.
But what era is it now?
The nobles of Jin State were almost tortured to death by the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei and Zhi.
The nobles of Chu State have also been suppressed by Wu Qi, and they are probably not far from the end.
The nobles of Lu and the state of Lu were already in the hands of Confucius. Confucius did not openly settle the nobles, but he had many students. I was a powerful minister and a treacherous minister, so I was a nepotist. Regardless of my big and small official positions, I only appointed my disciples and my acquaintances.
Dissatisfied?
I am a powerful official. Do you dare to speak loudly to the treacherous minister? Are you impatient?
Zhongyou!? Go over and explain the reason to him so that he can understand what a treacherous minister is!
When most powerful countries began to reform, regardless of their origins, they all started to be talented, even if they were very dissatisfied, they could only grit their teeth and hold on, and they could only be very unhappy at home.
There were also those who rebel, but in the face of the new era, the army was quickly suppressed, and then the fief was taken back, wealth became the source of funds for reform, and the title was completely lost. Why bother?
As for the Song Kingdom where Mozi was located, when Mozi became the prime minister, the reform progress suddenly became the most important among all countries.
This time, the philosophers are scrambling to reform.
When Wang Xu received the news of Confucius' reform, he quickly accelerated! Accelerate!
When Mozi knew that Confucius had actually started to have land, he knew that his pace was still a little slower, faster, faster.
When Wu Qi saw that the State of Song had begun to popularize education in Mozi town, he knew that the State of Chu was backward again!
When Zhao Wuxiu and Weis heard that Zhiyao was starting to take exams and select grassroots talents in the territory, they immediately stopped sleeping. They got up from the bed, began to refer to Zhi's test papers, and began to touch Zhi's cross the river.
Mozi: I want to reform quickly and realize the prosperous era of my dream as soon as possible.
Confucius: I want to touch fellow Daoist Modi’s butt reform. How he changes, I will study it to see if it is suitable for Lu State. If it is not suitable, what should I do.
Wu Qi: Even the pedantic and conservative people like Confucius began to make great strides. The reform progress of Chu State was already slower than that of Song State, and it could not be slower than that of Lu State!
Reform also has internal volumes.
When all the philosophers began to fight for reforms, even if the nobles were very dissatisfied, they had no choice. Because, the whole world was like this, even if they were not satisfied, they had no choice.
Five years ago, the members of the Xuanmen showed their ferociousness. In the past five years, most of the aristocratic era has passed. Nowadays, the nobles in most countries cannot be in high positions just because of their origins.
As for the changes in the Ming Dynasty over the past 25 years, it is even more dissatisfied!
Twenty-five years ago, after Confucius destroyed the main force of the Eastern Lu, he joined forces with Wang Xu to completely destroy the Eastern Lu and obtain the legendary achievement of destroying the country.
Twenty-five years ago, Modi completely occupied the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, and began 25 years of national study and education. Modi wanted to truly let the people under his rule have themselves, rather than being a submissive vocal insect.
He succeeded and failed!
Success is because after twenty-five years of education, people with self-bearing emerge in large numbers. Now, on average, one in every ten people in Guanzhong has a strong self, and the land of Sichuan and Shu has reached one-thirty.
Looking at these young people with strong self, Mo Di saw his successor!
He believed that even if he left the Ming world at this moment and had these successors in it, the Mo family's career would definitely continue, rather than the destruction of the people!
After roughly recalling the various things that happened in the Ming world over the past twenty-five years, I continued to preach today: "The soul can leave the body and control the body to a higher level. Theoretically, as long as our body has a cell that is immortal, we can use the soul to reshape a body that is exactly the same."
Just like a lich, as long as the life box is not destroyed, the lich will not die.
After practicing the soul, as long as the soul itself is not damaged, even if the body dies, the head is lost, the heart is lost, or even the body is dismembered by five horses, or thrown into an incinerator and completely burned, the ashes will be raised. However, as long as you reserve some of the body tissue that has not yet died in advance, you can use the soul to control the previously preserved body tissue, so that it turns into embryonic stem cells, or directly into a fertilized egg.
Then, you can use your soul to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, strengthen the fertilized egg until it develops an identical body again, and then possess it - I am alive again!
This is the scientific explanation of the resurrection technique, but in order to improve one's personality, it is claimed to be: after practicing the soul, as long as the soul still exists, it will be immortal.
But in fact, if you want to keep resurrecting, you must first reserve some active body tissue in advance, and then you must be familiar with the principles of biology and know the development process of embryonic stem cells, stem cells, and fertilized eggs. Finally, you must use your mental power to control the entire development process to avoid accidents.
Otherwise, it would be better to have one more eye and one more finger suddenly. You can claim to be talented, but if your face grows on your butt, what's going on!
In fact, when I first operated like this, not to mention my face growing on my butt, it is very common to accidentally collapse my body.
After all, the gap between theory and practice has always been quite large.
"In addition, our souls also have the ability to divide thousands of differentiate." Speaking of this, dozens of gods suddenly divided up on the standing souls.
These gods have different forms, human figures and non-human ones. Every god is transformed by Lao Tzu's thoughts.
"Before the birth of the soul, we all had thousands of thoughts. I gave every thought function to it back then. Later, these thoughts were completely integrated and sublimated into the soul, but the soul can differentiate these thoughts one by one again."
