Chapter 1259: I can’t stand scolding you
Shenlong Peak, Tianbu.
The famous families command 12 divisions, the Long family is in the heaven division, and the Ji family is in the earth division.
"The Long family is on Shenlong Peak, and the Ji family is on Panlong Ridge to the left. You can't tell from here, but from the top of the peak you can see that the entire terrain is shaped like a coiled dragon. The Long family is at the head of the dragon, controlling the body, while the Ji family is at the tail."
"The Long family's totem is the dragon, and the Ji family's totem is the snake. These two families are of the same blood and will always stand together..."
Arriving at the foot of Shenlong Peak, Yuan Sancai briefly introduced the situation of the Long family to Lei Zhen.
A lot has been said, but the overall meaning can be expressed in just two words: class.
Living at the head of the dragon vein and enjoying the best feng shui is in line with the ancient emperors' requirements in this regard. They are the supreme rulers, and other families have to be inferior to them.
Although this model is a typical feudal superstition, its existence is reasonable.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Jiaobenji had a special troop responsible for drilling into the mountains and trying every possible way to destroy the dragon veins in the east. Even in modern times, various means are used to carry out destruction.
Are dragon veins really useful?
No one knows this, but the cultural heritage of thousands of years makes people choose to believe it.
Because everyone believes in "dragons", even if they think that such creatures do not exist in the world, they still habitually regard themselves as descendants of dragons and are proud of it.
This is an identity that comes from deep in the blood, and even atheists do not reject this identity.
In a sense, the dragon represents the spirit of the nation.
The dragon vein is the source of power that is related to the survival and rejuvenation of the nation, so everyone generally agrees with this statement, even if it is mysterious.
This is also the mysterious thinking of Oriental people. They obviously do not believe in ghosts and gods, but they still believe that they are descendants of the dragon.
Is it scientific?
I don’t know. Anyway, no one says that they are descendants of snakes.
"The highest?"
Lei Zhen pointed at Shenlong Peak, hoping to get an accurate answer.
He must have imagined that one day he would suddenly hear that being from a prominent family was not the end, and that there was an even more mysterious world behind it, and that he would be trapped in an endless nesting doll.
If there were gods and demons flying all over the sky at the end, that would be ridiculous.
“The highest.”
Yuan Sancai nodded, confirming that this was the highest one.
"What I mean is, are there even more mysterious things behind this world? For example, immortal cultivators, god cultivators, mysterious pyramids, aliens, or even the creators of the world? Will there be reincarnations of immortals?"
From Lei Zhen's perspective, what he fears most now is this thing.
If you say he doesn't believe, he is a time traveler; if you say he believes, he is an atheist.
Although the higher the status, the more things one comes into contact with and the more mysteries one sees, but what is in front of him are all mortal bodies, even those from prominent families are no exception.
It's nothing more than stronger combat effectiveness, and what is practiced is internal strength.
In fact, when it comes down to it, both internal strength and external strength exist, but most people don’t know about them.
Any fighting in the world requires Qi, which is formed naturally through years of training. It can also be said to be internal strength.
The lethality of an ordinary person's punch is completely different from that of a fighting master. The fundamental reason lies in the qi developed through years of training.
For those who have trained regularly, their abdomen will retract when they exhale, while for ordinary people, their abdomen will expand outward.
This is roughly what internal strength means. As for the Taoist priest using a soft sword to pierce hard bamboo... that is definitely unscientific. You can go there to expose the fake and extort some medical expenses or something.
"Uncle Master, you were also born under the red flag. Can you be more materialistic? You should be scientific and stop having so many feudal superstitious ideas. It's not good!"
"Really?"
"Of course not!"
"Sure?"
"I'm sure and certain!"
Yuan Sancai was helpless. His uncle had asked him several times whether there were immortals.
Does fortune-telling necessarily mean there are gods?
It's pure nonsense to link the two together. Does being able to fire a gun necessarily mean you have to have a girl? There's absolutely no direct connection between the two. Otherwise, what's the point of having long arms?
Can you still say it's just to get something?
"Uncle Master, don't worry. There are no gods, demons, or monsters in this world. I swear to you!" Yuan Sancai raised his hand and swore, "If there are, they must be fake. As carbon-based creatures, these things don't exist."
As expected of a great think tank master, he even mentioned carbon-based life.
The main reason is that he was fed up with his uncle who was always talking nonsense. He was an atheist himself, so why couldn't his uncle get around this?
"What about the mermaids?"
"Carbon-based organisms."
"Mermaid Pearl."
"Beads of carbon-based organisms."
“…”
Lei Zhen stopped asking because if he continued asking he would feel a little crazy.
But it has also been confirmed that there will be no more nesting dolls, and coming to this world is the end. It is estimated that the famous family is the legendary wild man in the Wild Man Mountain.
"Let's go up the mountain."
"Okay!"
“…”
After several hours, the group finally climbed up the mountain.
In other words, Lei Zhen hasn't exercised in the past two days, and he can't hold on any longer after exercising.
The Shenlong Peak is high and the roads are steep. In some places, it is almost vertical at 90 degrees. Climbing up depends entirely on chains. If you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff.
But after climbing up, the view suddenly became clear.
This is a large plain hidden in the mountains. Because the surrounding mountains block the cold wind, this place is warm like spring all year round, and wild flowers are blooming everywhere.
Looking around, the crisscrossing ridges of fields look like a beautiful paradise.
Directly in front of us is a group of quaint buildings, and there is an ancient tower standing deep in the ground, and it is unknown how many years it has existed.
"Tang Dynasty architectural style? Ming Dynasty architectural style?" Lei Zhen was puzzled.
He had some understanding of the architectural styles of various dynasties. After all, Sister Nan had bought so many houses. Even if he didn't recognize them, he would understand them after seeing them more often.
"Tianbu has existed for a long time and has experienced thousands of years of historical changes. It is said that it can be traced back to the Warring States Period, so different architectural styles exist at the same time." Yuan Sancai explained.
It is a long time ago, and it is estimated that a group of people came here to escape from the world, but as time went on, more and more people came here, and eventually formed the current famous family.
"Why is there no one here?"
Lei Zhen lit a cigarette and stared ahead with narrowed eyes.
This is a magnificent square, and it is also the gate to the heavenly department, but there is no one here at this moment.
"That shouldn't be the case." Yuan Sancai asked doubtfully, "They should have known we were coming when we went up the mountain."
When the uncle from Tianji Temple came to visit, no one came to greet him, which clearly showed that they were not giving him face.
"I'll go and take a look." Bai Zhantang said.
"No need to go, I'll do it."
Lei Zhen took a puff of his cigarette, threw the butt heavily to the ground, and roared towards the front.
"Fuck you, are you guys just giving me no face or no face? If you're so unwelcome, then I'm going to turn around and leave, because I still have some dignity!"
"What the hell, a famous family, your ancestors..."
I will scold you as soon as I open my mouth and never tolerate you.
This made Yuan Sancai very worried. He squatted beside her and smoked a cigarette silently, and even choked himself.
