Star Gate

"Will the three major legions of Baiyue City, when facing foreign enemies, charge forward like them, not caring about death, just to slash the enemy with a sword?"

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly felt a lot of emotion.

He looked at the charging black armored warriors, and then at the city, which was empty.

"Look, in order to protect this city, they are still willing to draw their swords and fight... Uncle Hong, tell me, where do these people's beliefs come from? That kind of pride, calmness, and willingness to die No truce... I wondered, what kind of belief is it that allows them to do this?"

Incredible!

Hong Yitang was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "There are many reasons. A powerful foreign enemy, a charismatic leader, a beautiful homeland, a united belief, the same goal, the self-confidence of the nation...all of these , let these people be full of fighting spirit!"

He continued: "Actually, there are still such fighters, but...it's not so obvious now! You said that such a situation would not happen in the Silver Moon Army, that's not necessarily the case, but...you know why those who are now Soldiers, don’t you seem to have no conviction, no fighting spirit?”

"Master, teach me!"

"Goals and beliefs...what are you fighting for, who are you fighting for, what is your ultimate goal?"

Hong Yitang said in a deep voice: "Now, when the army is fighting, it is a civil war! This dynasty is still unified, so everyone is a dynasty sergeant. Unless you strangle the three major organizations, otherwise, whoever you fight against is actually a civil war !"

"Civil war, can it inspire enthusiasm and faith?"

Hong Yitang shook his head: "No! Therefore, everyone values ​​the strong and ignores the military. In fact, if Yinyue is really independent now, has a great goal, makes some huge changes, and is willing to lead these people out of the A new path, to get out of decay... Maybe this is the key to the silver moon army's brilliance again."

He looked out of the city, at those strong men flying in the air, and said: "Independence is not for the sake of hegemony! Now, the time has not come. Yinyue can still hold on. Once it is really in dire straits, at this moment, if someone If you are willing to stand up and wave your arms, you may awaken the belief of the Silver Moon people!"

After Hong Yitang finished speaking, he said in a low voice: "Actually, it's coming soon. Wars continue, and many provinces in the central region have actually had some problems due to the wars. Maybe many people haven't noticed this. Some places in the central region have already lost their harvests. Years!"

"The officials of the provinces are eager to move and secretly buy food and grass. In fact, the price of food on the market has increased by [-]%! This is just the beginning. With the expansion of the war-torn area, the daily consumption of the Tianxing Dynasty with a population of tens of billions is astronomical!"

"Some fertile fields, some good land, used to be rich lands for grain production, but now they have gradually become barren. People dare not go out to farm anymore. Even if they do, after a battle, there may be no harvest!"

Hong Yitang sighed again: "Nowadays, because the dynasty is rich, the land is vast, and the wars in the past few years are actually not obvious. But soon... it will explode!"

"Actually, many people are watching, waiting, waiting for these situations to erupt."

"Once such troubled times break out, it's their chance. In troubled times, heroes will emerge, and in troubled times... there will also be heroes!"

Hong Yitang laughed: "Yinyue is good. In fact, the General Administration is still responsible. In the past few years, it has been promoting large-scale planting, promoting some new experiences, new discoveries, and new technologies... But Even so, the surrounding area is in chaos, and Yinyue probably won't be quiet."

Li Hao frowned.

Nanquan raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Hong Yitang.

To be honest, in today's world of martial artists and superpowers, everyone is chasing strength, and few people think about it. Those heroes in troubled times may have seen it through, but they are all fueling the flames!

He even took the initiative to stop the planting of some fertile fields, waiting for the harvest to fail everywhere.

Ordinary people are weak, but once they are hungry to the extreme, the power they unleash is enough to overthrow this dynasty and set off wars and revolutions.

Commoners don't have many pursuits, but...you can't let them go hungry!

People are so hungry that they can do anything.

Superpowers are a minority after all, even if you can suppress them, you can suppress tens of thousands, 10, millions... What about tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions?

Li Hao's face was slightly pale at the moment, and the rolling wave seemed to be right in front of him.

He looked at Hong Yitang... To tell the truth, even though Li Hao was a commoner, the people of Yincheng lived in a relatively well-off way, so it was hard for him to imagine that the scenes recorded in these history books would break out in this era!

With the outbreak of high technology and the promotion of ancient civilization technology, in his opinion, there will be no famine in this era.

But at this moment... following Hong Yitang's narration, he seemed to have seen this scene happen, the torrential momentum swept across the world, the bones were covered with bones, and the sky fell apart!

The will of the people cannot be violated!

Nanquan couldn't hold back: "Old Hong, are you exaggerating?"

Hong Yitang smiled: "Is it exaggerating? No exaggeration. What I said is the truth. Some people saw it and pretended they didn't see it, some people really didn't see it, some people made this scene happen on purpose, and some people ...is really stupid!"

"So, Li Hao said, why soldiers in this era are not as good as those in the ancient civilization, I gave him the answer...the time has not come!"

"When this era is completely chaotic, when these people feel that their homes behind them will be destroyed... an unimaginable brilliance will also erupt!"

He pointed to the people outside: "Some of these people may understand now, and some may not understand, but by then, some may become saints, some will become villains, some will become overlords, and some will become... Butcher!"

He looked at Li Hao again: "What about you?"

Li Hao was at a loss.

And me?

"Are you like them too?"

Hong Yitang smiled: "You have actually seen it, and even felt it, but don't you also feel that it has nothing to do with you? It has nothing to do with you and hangs high! Does this era have anything to do with you? Your parents died Now, your friend is dead, and you are a teacher as a relative, so, do you really care about the people of Yincheng? Liu Long’s belief is to protect the safety of Yincheng, how about you? You are thinking, I was weak when I was young, I listened That's right, are you really serious?"

"You called Liu Long out. What Liu Long thought was, I am strong, and I will go back to protect Yincheng! What about you? What you think is that you are strong, and you go to kill all the enemies of Hongyue. Have you ever thought about it?" How is Silver City?"

Hong Yitang shook his head and chuckled softly: "In this era, everyone only lives for themselves! Human hearts are selfish, and human nature is also selfish. To be honest, whether it's martial arts or superpowers today, those who are truly willing to consider for those ordinary people , how many people are there?"

Li Hao was distracted and in a trance.

I……

Hong Yitang seems to be right.

Yes, he has never considered this point. The "protect justice" in Liu Long's mouth is actually just his slogan. He just thinks that this will make him more just, but what is justice?

not understand!

He looked at Hong Yitang, a little dazed.

Hong Yitang said nothing more.

nothing to say.

This is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence. If you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it. If you understand it, you just understand it!

When one day, Li Hao sees corpses strewn all over the field, starving and dying, he will feel sorry for these people, pity, blame himself, and regret, Li Hao will really understand, if he thinks that the dead are just a group of ants... there is no need to say more What.

Even if he has this kind of emotion, he still needs to do something, if he doesn't do it, it's just a moment of pity!

And at this moment, Nanquan's face also changed a little: "Hong Yitang, you have said so much, what about yourself?"

What have you done?

Hong Yitang smiled: "Me? What can I do? I can't do anything. The only thing I can do is to make Jianmen safer, more peaceful, more comfortable in food and clothing... In Jianmen Mountain, the disciples of Jianmen My family, I am raising them, they are also working hard to live, work hard to get rich, have no worries about food and clothing, and isolate themselves from the chaotic world outside, this is what I can do.”

"I'm just an ordinary person, not a saint."

Hong Yitang sighed with emotion: "Actually, I couldn't see or understand these things at first. As a martial artist who entered the rivers and lakes in the early years, in our era, we all ate meat and drank heavily. To be honest, civilians and What is our relationship?"

"Until one day, I accidentally met a group of orphans. Some parents died of starvation, some parents died because of the war, some parents died in the chaotic world, and some parents left their hometowns to become strong... At that time, I suddenly had a little insight!"

Just a little bit!

He never advertised himself as a saint, and he was indeed not. However, there have been more orphans in Jianmen since then. Perhaps, this is the rare compassion of the strong in this era.

So today, he can talk to Li Hao about this, otherwise, he would just say why the soldiers of this era are not as good as they were back then... because they are not strong enough!

Is it because it is not strong enough?

No!

There are almost 2000 superpowers outside, all of them are very strong. If they join forces, they can definitely defeat the three thousand black armors easily, but... so what?

Do they have faith?

Apart from knowing how to become stronger and how to win treasures, what beliefs can one have?

The three people in the field, why not?

In this day and age, people's hearts are very cold-blooded.

Li Hao was in a daze, looking outside, watching the torrent of black armor charging, turning into a sharp blade, charging into the battle, fighting continuously, after all ages, this army is still fighting!

What are you fighting for?

He shook his head, glanced at Hong Yitang, and suddenly felt... This person is so scary!

Yes, terrible.

Easily, let yourself be shaken, let yourself be confused, and let your beliefs not even be firm.

After a while, Li Hao took a deep breath and walked down the tall building.

He didn't want to look anymore.

He just wanted to find some treasures, got the treasures, then became stronger, then went out, and then...to seek revenge from Hongyue.

Ah!

He is the selfish person that Hong Yitang said, why not?

People in the world are ignorant and in dire straits, do they have anything to do with me?

it does not matter!

I am also one of them, and I am also a victim, and no one came to save me... Oh, yes, Teacher, Liu Long, Hou Xiaochen...

These people have actually saved themselves.

Then why should I save others?

really weird!

Li Hao felt that Hong Yitang was thinking too much. Those people were not close to him, so why should he think about others?

Even if the world is destroyed, so what?

……

rear.

Nanquan looked at Hong Yitang, frowned, and said via voice transmission: "Hong Yitang, what have you been comprehending all these years? Why...why are you worried about the country and the people?"

This is not a martial artist!

Hong Yitang glanced at him, laughed, and said via voice transmission: "I'm thinking about the way of a martial artist, and the purpose of existence of a martial artist! I once read an ancient book, which said that a great chivalrous man should serve the country and the people... …At first glance, I thought it was a joke! Looking at it again, I think it’s a bit exaggerated. A martial artist can also be a chivalrous man? What is a chivalrous man? Punish the strong and help the weak, fight against injustice, act bravely, worry about the country and the people... These are the knights ! In today's martial arts world, how can there be any knights? They are all just a group of martial arts fighters who do anything for their own strength!"

"You are, so am I, Yuan Shuo is, and everyone else is!"

"In these years, I have read this ancient book again, but I have some different thoughts, maybe a little naive, maybe a little idealized, but I am thinking, what is the purpose of people becoming stronger? Immortality ? Invincible? Invincible? And then?"

Hong Yitang laughed and said: "Then... turn into dry bones! After a few years, no one will remember you anymore. It is better than Yuan Shuo. If he died in Yincheng, after a few years, will the people of Yinyue still remember him? He Has it brought any changes to Yinyue? Has he made thousands of families become Buddhas? Has his power brought any slight help to hundreds of millions of people?"

Nan Fist's throat throbbed.

Have it?

of course not!

Impossible, a martial artist... strives to be strong, kills the Quartet, everything is to become stronger, stronger, to find a way, to ask...

As for after asking, what else?

Gone!

What else can there be?

At this moment, he was a little scared, looked at Hong Yitang, and suddenly felt that this guy was so scary!

"Hong Yitang...you...what are you thinking about?"

Hong Yitang laughed: "What are you doing? It's just some thinking about my own life. I was thinking, there are always people who say that martial arts superpowers exist for the purpose of killing... I think it's true, but the purpose of killing is to kill? The ultimate goal of killing is killing? Isn't that too narrow!"

"Killing is just a process, not a goal! Don't confuse this concept. Li Hao also has the same thoughts. I became stronger just to kill... and then? After killing people, what about the end?"

Nanquan's heart felt a little cold, and when he looked at Hong Yitang again, he suddenly wanted to stay away from him!

This guy, sometimes people really can't see through him.

"Don't look, I'm not a saint. I just think about it. Should I be imprisoned even for thinking? Ancient books say, don't imprison people's thoughts. You can imprison my body, but you can't imprison my thoughts. Thoughts are still there. , I am still alive, when my thoughts are also imprisoned, then I am really dead."

"The Heavenly Star Dynasty is actually very corrupt!"

Hong Yitang said as he walked: "This dynasty is actually imprisoning people's thoughts! Education is underdeveloped, and people's wisdom is not enlightened. Everything must be learned from ancient civilizations. They don't know how to develop or research by themselves."

"The education system is not perfect at all! Let's say that Yincheng has a population of one million. , is it right for such a cultural person?"

"The huge silver moon has a population of hundreds of millions. I have actually observed and counted the number of schools. I don't know the total number of schools, but I know that there are only 37 institutions of higher learning with about 20 people. They are graduated every year in groups of four years. About 5 people..."

"Based on 40 years of working per capita, after 40 years, there will be 200 million graduates from institutions of higher learning...and these 200 million people are high-end people in the whole society, elites, 200 million people, and [-] million high-level talents. Do you think it is too much? Or less?"

"Advanced students account for 2% of the total population, while middle and low students account for 10 times. 20% is an overestimation! In fact, those who can read and write actually account for 22% of the total population. What do you think? What's the ratio?"

Nan Fist said in a deep voice, "Is it low?"

He doesn't feel low!
