40,000 Years of Cultivation

When Li Yao found Xu Zhicheng, the great guardian of the Worry-Free Sect was instructing the workers and the psionic puppets to work like a fire. Even he himself was sweating like rain on a spar chariot smashed into scrap copper and iron. Psionic steel claws and percussion drill bits disassemble the spar chariot into the most basic components, separate them into categories, and pack them away.

Although he had been tortured enough by the cultivators a few days ago, his spirit at this moment was filled with an unhealthy excitement. Regardless of everyone's request for him to rest and heal his injuries, he was still on the front line of cleaning the battlefield. .

In his own words-he could personally dismantle the big iron factory of the cultivator and transport them all to the towns of the primitive people under the ground, without mentioning how comfortable he was, how could anything happen?

"Friend Li Dao!"

Seeing Li Yao coming with the two little guys, Xu Zhicheng jumped out of the spar chariot with a smile on his face, and stepped in front of Li Yao in two steps. He was physically vigorous, not at all like an old man who had been tortured.

He rubbed his hands on his clothes and didn't know how to express his gratitude to Li Yao. In the end, he bowed deeply to Li Yao, "Truly, thank you so much. You saved everything from the big iron factory. People!"

"Xu Hufa, it doesn't need to be like this!"

Li Yao's face blushed. Although he has been hibernating for more than 100 years, his actual age is certainly older than the other party's. However, the time he really wakes up must not be as long as the other party's. Moreover, Xu Zhicheng has been tortured in the underground world and just suffered. After the immortal cultivator's full set of soul-searching secrets, his hair is gray and his face is wrinkled, and he looks almost like his grandfather. How can he eat this set of gifts?

"I wish I had come early."

Li Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Even though we drove away the cultivators, there are still so many people who lost their lives innocently, and even died in the battle of the giant soldiers."

"This is inevitable. The big iron factory is a raging steel devil, and countless lives are filled every day to serve as fuel."

Xu Zhicheng said, "We were awakened on the day we launched the uprising. From top to bottom, no one is afraid of death. The key is to die worthy. Now, the big iron factory has finally been completely destroyed. I believe those who died The workers in China will surely be able to look down, and they will all be grateful for everything done by Daoyou Li, Daoyou Li, and Goddess Wangyou."

Li Yao sighed and said: "How is the material collection? We can't stay here for too long. Although the immortal cultivator lost two old monsters and three giant soldiers at once, it was a very heavy blow. You may not be able to piece together a new crusade group, but it is better to be careful, and the sooner you evacuate, the better."

"Almost half of it has been completed. I really didn't expect the immortal cultivators to accumulate so many materials here, enough for the residents of dozens of cities and towns to eat and drink for a year or a half. If you save a little, you can help more people. "

Xu Zhicheng smiled and said, "Thanks to the so many psionic puppets brought by Li Daoyou, it is so powerful! Without these psionic puppets, we would not be able to move them for ten days and ten nights without these psychic puppets."

Li Yao moved in his heart and said, "Guardian Xu, I don't know what your impression of the psionic puppet is?"

Xu Zhicheng was taken aback, glanced at Li Yao, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, just talk about it."

Li Yao said, "I mean, do you like psionic puppets, what do you think of this kind of humanoid magic weapon?"

Xu Zhicheng pinched his brows and pondered for a long time, and said seriously: "I don't know, we underground workers have very complicated feelings for psionic puppets.

"Intellectually, we know that psionic puppets are only tools, some iron knots with no thoughts; but in most mines and factories, the large-scale appearance of psionic puppets means that workers are either unemployed or unemployed. You must work hard to compete with psionic puppets, but workers’ efforts to tap their own potential always have their limits, and psionic puppets have become more advanced from generation to generation.

"One day, psionic puppets will advance to the point where we can't squeeze our own flesh and bones to catch up? At that time, those high-level cultivators will surely replace all humans with psychic puppets, then we poor workers. , How do you live, and why should you eat?

"From this perspective, underground workers have an instinctive aversion and vigilance towards psionic puppets, because they are our direct competitors.

"Not to mention, immortal cultivators like Li Minghui are unwilling to spend money to improve our welfare and benefits, but they have bought a large number of psionic puppets for combat to manage and suppress us. We made mistakes and even went to the toilet. For a little longer, you will suffer the merciless flogging of the psionic puppet.

"Even though I know that it is a cold, empty iron can, when the electric arc is swirling and the crackling whip is slammed on the spine, and everyone is almost cut in half, who can maintain absolute rationality? ?

"So, the hatred of psionic puppets is almost inevitable.

"However, when psionic puppets serve us and are even in our hands, how much effect can they play!

"Li Minghui purchased a batch of high-temperature resistant composite ceramic psionic puppets specially designed for disaster relief, specifically for rescue in mine disasters and fires. Of course, he doesn’t care about the lives of workers, but just doesn’t want the disaster to continue to expand. Flames, appearing at the disaster site, spraying extremely low temperature foam and gel, can you imagine the workers' ecstatic mentality?

"The psionic puppets at that time were like gods descending from the sky, so that the workers really regarded these puppets for disaster relief as gods and worshipped them. They gave them tributes during the holidays and gave them red and green. Get dressed up and just ask them to be faster and more efficient when a disaster strikes, and save a few more people.

"Even Li Minghui's immortal cultivator, who is so unkind and small, can understand the humble mentality of the workers and agree with the workers' dressing and worship of the special psionic puppets for disaster relief.

"This scene is even more so-what the psionic puppets are collecting and transporting are not materials, but the hope for the survival of countless underground people! With these psychic puppets, perhaps tens of thousands of people can survive, even these The iron cans were still massacring us at will a moment ago, so what? They are empty tools in the first place! ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

"In the final analysis, this is how we underground people love and hate psionic puppets. Who can make it clear? As for whether it is good or bad, it doesn't matter who is in control of it?"

Xu Zhicheng has been a great protector of Wuyoujiao for several years, and he has also cultivated to the level of Qi refining. His thinking is still quite clear. After a few words are stated clearly, Li Yao is very touched.

Li Yao thought for a while and summoned the courage to say: "So, if the psionic puppets are not in the hands of anyone, but only in their own hands, how does Hu Hufa Xu feel?"

"Not in anyone's hands?"

Xu Zhicheng's eyes widened, his expression increasingly confused, "What does this mean?"

"I almost forgot to introduce them. They are my children."

Li Yao pushed the two little guys out, "Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, his name is Grandpa Xu."

"Hello Grandpa Xu!"

The two little guys exclaimed in a sudden, and even a few idle psionic puppets nearby bowed to Xu Zhicheng with them. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

"your child!"

Xu Zhicheng became more and more surprised, looking at the two little guys, and muttered, "Such a small child, you have always been with you, are you still participating in such a dangerous battle? This is really..."

"They are different from ordinary children, you'll know after listening to me."

Li Yao pinched the head to the tail, and briefly repeated what he had said to Long Yangjun just now. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Of course, Xu Zhicheng doesn't need to know about the existence of the Star Federation, including the "Civilization" game and so on. It has nothing to do with the theme. Li Yao also omitted it, but roughly told Xu Zhicheng a few key points.

Xu Zhicheng kept his head down and listened carefully, but from his bewildered eyes, it could be seen that he did not understand what Li Yao said.

"Uh, I know it's a bit difficult to understand..." Li Yao said embarrassedly.

"It's really hard to understand."

Xu Zhicheng pondered for a long time, and asked politely, "Friend Li, I have always lived underground, and my knowledge is incomparable with people on the ground and even travelers who travel between the stars. Could you please tell me in the most plain and clear terms? What is the biggest difference between these two children and ordinary children?"

"The biggest difference is—"

Li Yao pondered, "Ordinary children are first born of flesh and blood, and then slowly condense the soul; they are the first to condense the soul, and then the flesh and blood body."

"Oh, I understand that."

Xu Zhicheng nodded and said, "But, what exactly is the so-called ‘soul’?"

Li Yao was taken aback for a moment, and said: "The definition of soul is ever-changing, and people have different opinions. If you really want to say it in detail, you can't explain it in a hundred books. I don't dare to say it. I know all the answers!"

"Since Li Daoyou doesn't know exactly what'soul soul' is, then the soul is born before the body, or the soul is born after the body, what is the difference?"

Xu Zhicheng said, "I'm a big boss, I have been digging underground all my life. I really don't understand your intricate and illusory "soul", "body", "consciousness" and the like, and I don't understand why you are. The faces are full of entanglement and worry, even if these two children have the soul first and then the flesh, then, what?"

"Then they have extremely powerful psychic intrusion, manipulation, and destruction capabilities, including controlling one thousand or even ten thousand psychic puppets at the same time."

Li Yao thought for a long time, and said, "It's'extremely, extremely powerful'. It may even be stronger than everyone in the world. Is that okay?"

"Understood, too strong power is not a good thing."

Xu Zhicheng finally understood Li Yao’s concerns, “Similar things have happened in our underground towns. Those children with great cultivating talents will be taken away from their parents by immortal cultivators and sold to the big family heads on the ground. Or the righteous son, in short, is a thug of various names. The lucky ones will send some money and letters every year. If you are not lucky, there will always be no news.

"Therefore, after many underground families discover that a child has a talent for cultivation, they tend to conceal his potential, rather he is clumsy and spends his entire life in a flat underground.

"But there are some parents who would rather endure the pain of separation, hoping that their children can go to the ground to make a breakthrough, and perhaps have a chance to live a better life.

"Friend Li Dao, you are also struggling, don't you know if you should make these two children clumsy and ordinary, or do your best to help them shine?"
