The man in white was a little disappointed, because he found that he was the only one who thought of these things. These things sounded a little illusory, but there were really traces.
Zhang Yiyang's expression changed from bewilderment at the beginning to ridicule to surprise now. Isn't this process the process that the man in white has been searching for? However, the change in Zhang Yiyang's expression was only as short as ten minutes, and he had already walked for a long time. He has been walking in the world of all people with his own world to observe the world. It seems that the world of all people cannot interfere with his world, so he has always existed. A bit of a mouthful, but that's it.
Perhaps, he is one of the most loyal spectators, how many years have he been watching
"The end of the practitioner..."
Zhang Yiyang murmured, fear gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Maybe it won't be long..."
The man in white looked back at Zhang Yiyang: "I want to ask you a question, do you know what changes the world the fastest?"
"The fastest to change the world?"
Zhang Yiyang realized that he was really like a child in front of this man in white, because the problems he thought of were things he had never considered. In contrast, it was as if he was still singing nursery rhymes and playing house games, while the other party had already put aside all the works and read them in disdain, because in his opinion, those articles full of reasoning did not make sense.
"Is it a natural disaster?"
Zhang Yiyang asked.
"No... it's war."
The man in white said: "There is nothing easier than war to change a world. One thousand years ago, King Dalun Ming founded the Buddhist sect. Since then, the western prairie has been under the rule of the Buddhist sect. The grassland people have hardly changed in the past thousand years. , children have no other choice from birth, and the herdsmen firmly believe that the brilliance of Buddhism can illuminate their eternal life and endless reincarnation. The Buddhism remains unchanged, and the prairie remains unchanged."
"The Central Plains is slightly different. There will be a big turmoil every few hundred years, the dynasty will change, and the family will rise and fall... But it is still the great practitioners who lead the change. They stand behind the scenes and direct the change. In fact, there is still no change. So whether it’s the prairie or the Central Plains, if you think about it carefully, is there any earth-shaking change from a thousand years ago?”
Zhang Yiyang thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "No."
"yes… "
The man in white let out a long sigh of relief: "Nothing has changed. The grassland people still wear leather robes and ride horses to hunt with strong bows and crossbows. People in the Central Plains still wear long robes and long-sleeved clothes to search for truth in ancient books...all of this, All because there wasn’t a huge real war.”
"But it's different now."
The man in white said solemnly: "On the prairie, everything began to change from the day the Quoke Taimeng family led troops to attack the Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain. The Buddhist sect is no longer the master of the prairie. The herdsmen who have been protected by religion have become panicked, they can no longer hope to be protected by the omnipotent Great Wheel Ming King when danger comes, what can make them feel more at ease at this time?"
"It is a country with a strong military."
The man in white gave the answer himself.
"The Central Plains is the same..."
The man in white said slowly: "Over the years, the dynasties of the Central Plains have changed, but the society has not changed. What has changed is the surname of the person sitting on the dragon chair."
After saying this, he thought that the things he did a few years ago were actually meaningless at all. He thought very early on that changes in the world must be affected by war, and only war can make people fear and make people want to change. So he raised a group of servants, and those servants either indirectly or directly launched many wars, which promoted the rise and demise of many dynasties. But he was disappointed, he didn't see the kind of change he thought he could see. He didn't lead those wars himself, but just watched his servants turn upside down.
Later, he suddenly understood that the war that the servants had been promoting for so many years was fundamentally wrong. The fault is not in the war itself, but in the fact that the people leading the war have not changed, they are still great practitioners. As long as it is a war led by practitioners, how can there be any essential changes
"But it's different now. Just as the Kuoketaimeng family on the grassland finally overthrew the Buddhist sect ruled by King Dalun Ming, the Central Plains finally underwent a fundamental change after the chaos of the Sui Kingdom, although this change has not yet fully appeared."
The man in white said in a calm but heavy tone: "On the other side of the ocean, those foreigners who don't know how to practice have pushed the development of firearms to a very high level. With this powerful firearm, they can easily stabilize the position of the ruler. Their changes are much greater than that of the sea."
"After there is no Buddhist sect on the grassland, it will not take a day for firearms to replace practitioners. This is a very long process... How many years will it take until grassland people start pulling the trigger of firearms on horseback instead of pulling the bowstring? ? Decades, hundreds of years?"
"The enemy won't give them that long."
The man in white said: "That's why I said that war is the fastest way to change the world. When a powerful army of foreigners appears here, the change will be complete. At that time, practitioners will face a group of ordinary people. Challenge, but the tools in the hands of ordinary people can threaten the lives of practitioners!"
"Two people have surprised me once, and I thought I would find my hard-to-find answers in these two people."
The man in white sat down and said slowly, "The first person is Wan Xingchen."
He said.
Hearing this name, Zhang Yiyang's heart trembled slightly.
…
…
The man in white was silent for a while after taking a sip of tea, as if he was sorting out his thoughts.
"I first noticed that Wan Xingchen was his supreme cultivation talent. When all the practitioners were still honoring the more they met, he only focused on the sword in his hand. So I always thought that Dalun Mingwang would be able to Stealing reincarnation is not as good as Wan Xingchen. He claims to be Wanfatong but it is just miscellaneous but not perfect. Wan Xingchen's sword is enough to change the situation in the world. But it is not his sword that really makes me think that this person can change the world. "
The man in white said: "It was his creation. I knew a long time ago that Wan Xingchen had created a group of troops to accompany the founding emperor of the Sui Kingdom to sleep and wait for the opportunity to wake up. I was very happy at that time because I knew that no matter it was Neither the army of the Central Plains nor the army of the grassland can defeat the army created by Wan Xingchen. When this army appears, it may cause changes in the world. People will think, how can we defeat this army?"
"As long as people start thinking, they will progress. Instead of living under the protection of great practitioners, ordinary people start to rely on their brains to survive. When ordinary people start to face an invincible army, I look forward to It's the beginning of someone who can create something that defeats this army."
"But then I found out that I still had a high opinion of Wan Xingchen. His vision was still too narrow. He could change the pattern of the world, but he could not change the pattern of the world. He sealed up that army in the ancient tomb, created them but He didn't dare to use it. It wasn't until Wan Xingchen was dying that he realized what was blocking the progress of the world. So he took his sword and went south, holding those bright people in Jiangnan Tonggu Academy next to each other. He slaughtered them all. His sword is still unstoppable, so many people with cultivation bases against the sky died in his hands. I think that's why he didn't go to Luo Yao first."
"He killed all the big practitioners in Tonggu Academy who could threaten the Iron Armored Army, and then ordinary people will face the Iron Armored Army. Because of fear, ordinary people will think more and more. Wan Xingchen wanted to kill more, but he realized it too late."
Zhang Yiyang was really shocked, he had never thought of these things from Wan Xingchen going south.
Only now did he understand that Wan Xingchen had already reached the stage of the man in white before he died, but the man in white obviously understood much earlier than Wan Xingchen. However, the man in white is also a great practitioner himself, so his thoughts are also limited. If you ask him how to practice, perhaps no one can answer better than him. But if you ask him how to change the world, he knows the answer but cannot create a process.
Wan Xingchen went south to let ordinary people face the crisis head-on, hoping that ordinary people would not have the limitations of a practitioner's thinking, and create something that could defeat the Iron Armored Army.
But... it's really too late.
"The second person is Wan Xingchen's disciple... Yang Qi."
A flash of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the man in white: "That is a person who is really impressive, a person who is really amazing. He has the most ordinary physique, but he can reach such a high level. Maybe His cultivation is incomparable to some great cultivators who have lived for a long time, but he will win in the end, exceeding my expectations time and time again."
"If... If he appeared earlier than Wan Xingchen, maybe the changes in this world would really come earlier. But he appeared too late, and what he thought of was still at the first level."
The man in white said: "Yang Qi should have thought of what hindered the progress of this world very early on, so he resolutely headed west. Some people said that he was selfish and brought so many practitioners from the Central Plains into the grassland to die. His companions He died one after another, but he never rescued them. He wants to preserve his strength and fight against King Dalunming. If he thinks this way, he is really selfish... But what if he thinks differently?"
The man in white sighed: "Perhaps, he deliberately took those practitioners to die from the very beginning. He knew that practitioners are the biggest shackles that prevent the world from changing. He understood that practitioners are not the biggest protectors of ordinary people but He is the greatest natural enemy... That's why he wants to kill the Great Wheel Ming King. The Great Wheel Ming King has lived for a thousand years, and the grassland will remain unchanged for a thousand years. Yang Qi firmly believes that only by killing the Great Wheel Ming King will the changes begin That door. He wanted to kill King Dalun Ming, so he brought those practitioners to die, and he himself also went to die."
"So, he hasn't changed over the years, but he appeared too late. It's as late as Wan Xingchen realized."
When talking about this, Zhang Yiyang suddenly asked: "Since you watched these things happen and these people appeared, you put your hope on Wan Xingchen and Yang Qi's hand, why don't you do it yourself? I was thinking, If you want, you can kill King Dalun Ming. I don’t know how many years you have lived, but if you had done it earlier, you would have forced the world to change! You will be behind on the other side of the ocean before you see it!”
He was right, if this man in white really lived for a long time, with his cultivation base, if he were to deal with King Dalun Ming, maybe King Dalun Ming would not have the chance to live a thousand years at all!
"because… "
The man in white was silent for a long time, his eyes were so sad and real.
"Others can change the world, but I can't."
He said something that Zhang Yiyang couldn't understand.
"Why can everyone else, but you can't?"
Zhang Yiyang asked.
"just like… "
The man in white murmured: "I have a dog. I know this dog will bite and hurt people. I know that as long as this dog is at home, no guests will come. Even the whole village will live in hatred and anger." Zhong... But that dog is mine, and I can already tolerate others trying to kill this dog, but I... I really can't do it."
Zhang Yiyang still didn't understand.
He didn't know if the dog the man in white was talking about was King Dalun Ming, or something else
Zhang Yiyang felt that the man in white was a contradiction in itself. Is he looking forward to the arrival of change, or is he reluctant to part with the end of this era
