At ten o'clock in the morning, Bai Shixue saw that the person was curled up in the bed and was unwilling to get up. She grabbed the quilt with both hands, leaving only her face exposed, and just stared at Li Yi.
Li Yi ignored her gaze and continued reading. Therefore, Bai Shixuejian's eyes unconsciously fell on the thick book, with a few large characters printed on the yellow-brown cover: "The Historical Process of Modernization of China".
This book was read by Shiraishi Yukimi in high school. Although it is not one of the textbooks, it is one of the famous works recommended by the textbooks. This book is not a sage book handed down from ancient times, but a history book jointly written by modern officials from various places about 50 years ago.
Its fundamental purpose is to promote orthodoxy and justice, and now it is sought after by countless Chinese people because it is an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal book, and it is the history of China's self-reform.
After many years, Bai Shixuejian still remembers one of the sentences: It is justified to kill all the princes in the world.
For the backward feudal lords, the modern government and the people have the natural right to rebel, life and death, and seize power, just as they once oppressed the people of the world. In modern times, many people worship heroes from ancient times to the present, and the most abundant of them are lords and nobles, but this does not mean that people miss them.
They like heroes but are hostile to princes and powerful people.
"The Historical Process of China's Modernization" conveys a "radical theory" that the modern times have surpassed the ancient times in all aspects, and that modern officials are like sages compared to the ancient princes.
Bai Shixuejian admitted that he felt an inexplicable sense of superiority when he watched it, but as an immortal, did he need to watch such things? He had lived for as long as the history of China, and if he were in modern times, he might have been one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
"Fake Taoist priest, what do you think?"
"What?"
Li Yi asked the question without raising his head, his eyes still looking at the contents of the book.
"It's the history of China. How do you, an immortal, view the history of mortals? Do you think it's a joke, or like children fighting?" Bai Shixuejian asked. She liked asking Li Yi questions since she was a child. The other party read a lot of books and knew a lot.
But when he grew up, he lost this habit. No matter how smart Li Yi was, he was just a child studying in a rural area. In addition, he was busy with the exam-oriented education in high school and never read any miscellaneous books. During that time, Bai Shixuejian was the closest to Li Yi. He was just an ordinary boy, just his childhood sweetheart.
It feels so far away now. Even if the other person says he still likes her, she still feels far away.
Verbal promises cannot narrow the actual distance, and the conversation between Qiong Yu and Li Yi just now clearly revealed this gap.
"You have lived for more than five thousand years, can you still understand the history of just a hundred years?"
"Whether history is profound or not does not depend on time, just like the time I have known you is just a blink of an eye compared to the past five thousand years. The direction of thousands of years may be determined by just a few decades, just like the government is simply a few offices and a few telephones in the Zhongshu Mansion, which are the core of the power operation of the entire Shenzhou."
Li Yi looked away from the book and looked at Bai Shixuejian, who was hiding in the bed like a turtle. He saw through her anxiety and restlessness. As he said this, her anxiety and restlessness subsided a little.
She is still young and very easy for Li Yi to understand.
"If I were to evaluate it, "The Historical Process of Modernization of China" is a great era. I have only brought peace to the world for five thousand years, but China has made everyone in the world as powerful as a dragon in the past hundred years. In ancient times, reading and writing were the privileges of the scholar class. Do you understand?"
"Are you saying that 5,000 years is not as good as China's 100-year history?" Bai Shixuejian's brows relaxed slightly. "I think you are amazing. Qiong Yu said that in the ancient times, there were beings who lived for tens of thousands of years, but people who lived for 5,000 years have never appeared."
A palm-sized man emerged from the void, and Qiong Yu added, "Everything has a destiny. Cultivation is to break free from one's own destiny, the most direct manifestation of which is life span. Those who exceed their destiny by hundreds of times can become kings. Seniors who have lived for 5,000 years can become emperors."
"Constant? Very interesting argument."
Li Yi couldn't help but think of the lifespans of humans and monsters. Among monsters, different species have different lifespans, so practicing can indeed increase their lifespans.
He got back to the point and said, "From my perspective, yes."
"Why?" Bai Shixuejian seemed to be dreaming back to her childhood, and wanted to get to the bottom of it like a curious baby.
"The world is in turmoil. After a long period of division, there will be unification. After a long period of unification, there will be division. Peace is always short-lived, and I want to prolong it."
Li Yi closed the book and held it up in one hand. The whole book, which recorded history, weighed about 2.3 jin.
"I can suppress the whole world, but I can also suppress it to the point where it cannot move. The world is sometimes too fragile, and I might accidentally overturn it, so I generally don't interfere in the affairs of the world."
There seemed to be a weight of history in the calm words, and the sunlight shining on the young man was tinged with a hint of yellow.
Bai Shixuejian and Qiong Yu were both stunned for a moment, and in a trance, they seemed to see a world supported by a god, and the mortal world was just a three-inch piece of land in his palm. It was not just their personal imagination, but Li Yi really had the ability to do it.
It's different if a minister in a temple says he wants to kill you and it's different if a shrew on the street says she wants to kill you.
Bai Shixuejian shrank back slightly and said in a muffled voice: "I feel like you have changed, becoming more and more pretentious."
In fact, she didn't think it was pretending, but she hoped it was pretending, otherwise the gap would become larger and larger.
"." Li Yi was a little speechless. He never brags about himself, but he also never belittles himself. Everything he says is true.
