Feixing Zhenren and Shuiming Yuanjun were sitting in a car, driven by a company employee. Compared to the previous nursing home, where there was a Jindan and dozens of foundation-building guards, the two could be sure that they were safe.
"Landscape Community, Unit 1."
Master Feixing looked at the note in his hand over and over again. It was a piece of paper torn off casually with a few scribbled modern words on it, and it recorded the residence of the immortal.
At first he felt a little uncomfortable because he was too casual and lacked respect and awe for the immortals.
But the other party was Taoist Qingxuan, he had neither the qualifications nor the strength to attack.
Later, Master Feixing thought of another possibility. Now that the immortals are no longer in power and are not in high positions, they naturally would not pay too much attention to rules.
This is because the immortals in their previous lives also followed rules. They should enjoy rights that correspond to their position, no more and definitely no less.
The immortal once said: Rules are used to restrain people, and restraint comes from power, and power comes from violence. This is the most primitive power structure, and long-term stability cannot be achieved by violence, just like a house cannot rely on beams alone, it also needs walls and exquisite decorations to form a comfortable environment.
It is very important to make people respect the importance of the beams, otherwise people will think it is okay to scribble or scratch on them.
Therefore, the relationship between the immortals and the immortal ministers is relatively distant, which is a kind of protection for them, so as to avoid giving people the illusion that the immortals will forgive them if they make mistakes.
There were a few people who thought they were fine before being executed by the immortals. This was because their fathers had a close relationship with the immortals and they thought they could take advantage of the immortals' influence. Perhaps these people would not make mistakes, but once they had this lucky mentality, sometimes they would make mistakes in just a moment.
Alienation is also a kind of great love.
The immortals designed a meticulous and impeccable structure for the sake of the world and everyone. As long as you don't jump out of this structure, no one will die from making mistakes.
There were almost no powerful people who were sentenced to death by the immortals back then. It was not because all of them were incorruptible, but because everyone knew what they should not touch.
Of course, this does not include the group of rats in the ditch, who are doing things that harm the human race under the banner of serving the immortals.
In modern terms, they are terrorists.
Externally, there is pressure from changes in the environment of heaven and earth, the collapse of laws, and the continuous squeezing of space barriers. Internally, there is a world that cannot form the five elements, land that needs spiritual energy to grow food, a growing population, and a group of nine immortal alliances whose goal is to "eliminate most useless people."
Peace and prosperity are not the norm.
Just like today.
Master Feixing looked at the tall buildings outside the window. Even without the memory of this body, just what he saw and heard was enough to show how prosperous this era was. It was almost as prosperous as the scale of the 6,000th year of the Immortal Calendar.
At that time, the human population was only 50 million, which was enough to barely reach the modern standard of living.
In modern times, billions of people have almost all been able to have meat every day. I remember that there were some remote mountainous areas, but to say that life was hard was only relative, not that it was impossible to survive.
He doesn't mean to compare the bad with the bad, he just thinks that the current era is very good.
Shuiming Yuanjun beside him sighed: "If the world we lived in back then was only half as stable as it is now, we wouldn't have to toil all our lives and run around with a knife on our necks for most of our lives."
If Qingqiu Cave Heaven had not collapsed back then, I would not have had to run to the human race to suffer.
Shui Ming Yuan Jun added in his heart that the human race is good in every way, except for the Flying Star Immortal. The last little dissatisfaction is the strict law enforcement. There is no such thing as leniency in the White Jade Palace.
It would be fine if she doesn't do anything wrong, but as a modern saying goes: you can do without it, but you can't be without it.
They can avoid making mistakes, but they cannot miss the opportunity to make mistakes again.
Master Feixing also looked out the window on the other side and said, "Technology, we have explored this thing before."
The vehicle shook slightly, and the company operator who was driving the vehicle looked a little uneasy, and it was obvious that he was very surprised by what had just been said.
"You mean the thing that boils water?" Shui Ming Yuan Jun said nonchalantly, "It seems to be called a steam engine. It uses coal to heat water and the gas drives the machine. But later, when there was not enough coal, you switched to kerosene. It smelled very choking when it was burned, so it was not unfair that it was cancelled in the end."
"Later, they developed a machine to generate thunder, but it failed in the end. So much manpower and resources were wasted."
Master Feixing said calmly, "It was not a failure. Although the process of exploration took nearly a hundred years, we finally created the device that the immortals mentioned, which uses steam and electricity. The reason why it has not been used is that the minerals required for these things are too few."
Back then, these two things were undoubtedly a boost to the Immortal Palace at the time, because they did not require spiritual energy. So even if their specific uses had not yet been figured out, the fact that they did not require spiritual energy was enough to excite people.
This means that humans can create things without relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Later, the Immortal Palace was disappointed to find that the resources required for steam and electricity were too few. If used on a large scale, it would only take a few decades to use up the coal mines in Tianzhou, and it was not easy to mine.
Later, some people used spiritual fire to drive water vapor machinery and thunder to drive electric machinery. They were surprised to find that obtaining energy in this way was more stable and more practical than burning coal.
Because of this discovery, both items were discarded.
True Man Feixing can still recall the situation at that time: the cultivator who thought of and successfully put into practice this method, and the embarrassed expressions of the group of Qi-refining and alchemy masters after he excitedly introduced his great discovery.
