Three roads?
After receiving the envoys from the Xiangyu Sect, Loran Hill had a rare period of free time. He sat on a big tree in the back mountain, looking at the scenery below and thinking quietly.
The afternoon sun is very bright, shining through the shade of the leaves and feeling warm on the body. This place is not far from the main hall on the top of the mountain, but few people come here. It is a good place to relax and take a rest.
Leaning against a tree branch, Loran Hill felt a little sleepy, but it seemed that he could get through it without sleeping.
Let’s think about the serious business, she said to herself.
After meeting Senior Sister Jinhua this morning, she asked Luo Lanshier what path he wanted to take in the future and how he wanted to end this world. Luo Lanshier did not answer at that time.
Life is not like studying for an exam, where there must be an answer, and there is no such thing as inevitable correctness.
To be honest, Loran Hill didn't really want to be like Chi Feng, especially after learning a lot about the past from Jin Hua.
In fact, when the emperor was still young, he had a very good relationship with Chi Feng. At that time, Chi Feng rarely had the energy to teach this unfavored prince, and then he also lived in Yuzhang Mountain for a long time.
But even with such a close relationship, the emperor finally chose to imprison Chi Feng.
When hearing such a thing at first, people would definitely be confused and surprised, but after listening to Jinhua talk about some other things, Loran Hill roughly understood why the emperor made this choice in the end.
If there had not been that unforeseen change in the world, perhaps the relationship between Chi Feng and the emperor would have continued, harmonious, respectful, and loving, etc. However, when the emperor had the opportunity to break away from this inevitable relationship, he did not hesitate at all.
Some relationships are destined not to last, and the emperor does not want to be the child who is taken care of and restricted forever.
Being taken care of seems to be a good thing, but why do many children always quarrel with their parents? Ultimately, it is the issue of freedom. When all your actions are done under the manipulation or command of the other party, even if this thing is right, you will get bored after a long time.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine. He could just leave home after reaching adulthood. But it was different for the emperor. He went from being a prince to ascending the throne, from being ignorant to ruling the world. Although his power almost reached its peak, he was still shrouded in the desperate shadow of Chi Feng.
The lifespan of the phoenix is unknown. It came and established this dynasty before he was born. He was destined to be unable to surpass those predecessors, and even unable to break away from the dynasty's dependence on the red phoenix.
After becoming the Son of Heaven, the flattery of his ministers and the exercise of power made his desires and ambitions continue to expand, but the Red Phoenix was like an invisible cage, restraining him.
Although he understood that this cage was protecting him and correcting him, this protection and correction were lingering and he could never get rid of it. He could never stand on the same level as Chi Feng, and gradually this relationship became torture.
Excessive pampering will create hatred and ultimately lead to tragedy.
Let go when it’s time to let go. If you interfere too much, you’ll become annoying.
Loran Hill raised her head, reached out to pick a tender green leaf, held it in her hand, and then pinched the leaf again. A very faint fragrance of grass leaves emanated from the deep green indentation. She sniffed it lightly with the tip of her nose, then let go of the leaf and watched it blow down in the breeze, swaying slowly in the valley, and drifting towards the bright sunshine.
It was already summer, and the distant mountains and forests were dazzling in the sunlight. The cicadas' calls were cheerful, but distant and not noisy. Occasionally, the sound of leaves rustling could be heard, and the sparse shadows of the trees below were swaying slightly in the mottled air.
Since you don’t want to be Chi Feng, then learn to be Cai Hua.
If it weren't for the impending disaster, Loranhill thought that he would probably be like Caihua, settling down in the Yellow Sea Mountains to rest after dealing with some big things.
The division and reunion of a country is like the birth, aging, sickness and death of a person. It is a constant alternation and is inevitable. This is all I can do.
But... I'm still a little worried.
While thinking about it, Loran Hill picked another leaf. This leaf was a little yellow. Although it was very tender, the petiole broke when touched, which meant it had been unable to absorb water for a long time.
The light yellow leaves feel slightly cool to the touch, and the surface is still relatively soft, as if covered with a thin layer of wax. After tearing them open, there is no fragrance of sap, only the exposed leaf veins. Perhaps it is due to lack of water, or it may be that this piece has grown for a longer time, and its leaf veins are a little tougher than the previous tender leaves. After tearing them open, the light yellow fibers can be clearly seen.
It is impossible for him to let go of the East Continent, at least not now.
Letting things take their course is a matter for the future, at least let's get out of the earth first.
Loran Hill is still unable to sit under the fire tree like the Phoenix Witch Caihua did back then.
Then there is only one option left, but this option doesn’t seem very good.
It’s not that being a good emperor is tiring, but that Loran Hill is afraid that by doing this, he will set an example for future generations, and the East will never be able to get out of the vortex of the monarchy system.
The Plantagenet dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and this kind of thinking has been deeply rooted in people's minds. If I take over and continue like this, I'm afraid it will never be changed.
As expected, politics is a very troublesome thing, especially in the uncivilized era, some ideas are even more difficult to shake.
Loran Hill loosened his hand, and the fragments of light yellow leaves in his hand fell in the wind and drifted towards the distant mountains.
I really want to fast forward time, just like in the old games, where in a few years, the concepts of the country and the people are completely transformed and they embark on an unimaginable path, Loran Hill thought as he leaned against a tree trunk and closed his eyes for a nap.
Unfortunately, reality is not a game. Even if there are new concepts and systems, without sufficient class population, certain laws and policies cannot be implemented.
Technology, industry, production methods and social systems are all complementary to each other. In the Eastern dynasties that are mainly based on agriculture, the traditional power is exceptionally strong. Even though the number of extraordinary people is far greater than that of the Western Continent, this concept will not change.
So, in the end, we still have to do construction. Loran Hill slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, and got rid of some sleepiness.
It seems that it is inevitable.
But this time, perhaps a completely different technology tree will be revealed.
Recalling the dragon boat design drawings that the disciples of the Xiangyu Sect brought out last month, a unique beauty that blended ancient simplicity with modern technology emerged, which made Loran Hill seem to see a development path that was completely different from past memories and history.
The secret caves and heavens of the East Continent, as well as numerous monsters and extraordinary plants, have brought materials with performance far exceeding that of ordinary substances. These materials have also changed many design ideas. Coupled with the many directions brought about by extraordinary skills, things that were previously unimaginable have appeared in this world.
Thinking of this, Loran Hill suddenly felt some anticipation in his heart. Perhaps he didn't need to worry about it. Life would spontaneously find a way to survive, and this new world would surely give birth to something that had never existed before.
