Chapter 447 (1/2)
Obviously, the old man has a lot of research on history, otherwise, it is impossible to ask this question.
Because the records of ancient alchemists, or the records of immortals, are all recorded in unofficial history as anecdotes.
People who are not interested in history will not go to see these unofficial histories.
In addition to his own occupation, the old man's hobbies should be in this aspect in his spare time.
”You know a lot.” Shangzi really laughed and said, ”you're right. In ancient times, people in practice actually lived in the world of ordinary people. The reason why ordinary people have disappeared completely now is that ordinary people don't know the existence of people in practice. On the one hand, it's the reason why people in practice don't come out. However, the main reason is the increasing progress of science and technology.”
After saying this, Shang Zizhen continued: ”in the age of cold weapons, when people in practice are in front of ordinary people, they can say impolitely that they are really immortals. Because they don't need high cultivation, cold weapons can't hurt people in practice. Even if their cultivation is low and cold weapons can hurt themselves, the body skills of people in practice are far from ordinary people's, Basically, it won't be hurt by ordinary people. ”
”Then who can hurt the practitioners? Are there only practitioners? In this case, was there no guarantee for the ancient monarchy? ” The old man asked in surprise.
”No!” Shangzizhen replied: ”the powerful bow and arrow can hurt the practitioners who are not good enough. In addition, there is another kind of people in ancient times, that is, the practitioners of martial arts. They are half of the people who step into the practice and can hurt the practitioners or even kill them!”
Hearing this, the four old men looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked puzzled.
”If you learn the arts, you can sell them to the emperor's family!” Shang Zizhen looked at the four old men and asked, ”have you heard that?”
Four old men nodded at the same time.
Shangzizhen then said: ”in ancient times, there was no such extended explanation in modern times. It's just a literal meaning. The text in it naturally refers to the scholars, martial arts, that is to say, the people who practice martial arts, who learn martial arts well, sell goods to emperors, and those who are in power, will use such people to guard against us!”
”Is there such a strong person who practices martial arts?” Asked an old man, frowning.
”You say that because you haven't met a real martial arts practitioner.” Shang Zizhen said in a deep voice: ”today's martial arts is not martial arts at all. It's all about HuaQuan and embroidering legs. Ancient martial arts practitioners don't have so many fancy things. The more experts they are, the more they see life and death. How can they put on airs? It's extremely dangerous for a master to fight. It's not only not good-looking, but also very ugly. You don't have to use it everywhere. It's not as good-looking as a skirmish fight! ”
Hearing this, the four old men all laughed.
”In ancient times, martial arts practitioners had extraordinary skills, but their life span was no different from that of ordinary people.” Shang Zizhen said: ”but after they learn martial arts, they can compete with the people in practice when there are more people. Therefore, they are just stepping into the path of practice! After all, there are very few people in practice. There are a lot of people practicing martial arts in ancient times! ”
”So it is.” The four old men nodded and said with a sudden look on their faces.
”Since ancient times, the imperial family has been on guard against the practitioners.” Shang Zizhen continued: ”this will never change. What's the difference between them and the ancient martial arts practitioners? This has not changed since ancient times! ”
The four old men didn't dare to answer shangzi's words, because although their work nature was different from Zhou qiuchu's, they were colleagues.
