Chapter 227 I'm finally going to die?

"I think if there is a time traveler, Ming Taizu is definitely one!"

"Yes, under his governance, you can see how far our country has reached."

"From Fusang in the east, to the Caspian Sea in the west, to the Philippines in the south, and to Siberia in the north... Oh, and the continent of Australia. This territory covers one-third of the world. I don't know what to say."

"Who says it's not? If it weren't for the fact that the emperors behind Ming Taizu were too stupid, we don't know how much we can increase our current territory!"

"It doesn't need to be said that. Although it shows that our country was indeed strong during the Taizu period, the territory is too large after all. At that time, there was no such convenient transportation and communication conditions as now, and management difficulties are foreseeable."

"If you want me to explain that Taizu's governance is still secondary, his most powerful thing is his attitude towards craftsmen."

"That's right, that's right, that's what I was going to say! Look at the emperors before him and the emperors after him, when faced with technological innovations, they all had an attitude of letting it go, and even deliberately obstructing it. But as for Emperor Taizu, when he was in power, it must have been the period when the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty exploded!"

"It's not just an explosion? It should be called an explosion!"

"Yes, it should be an explosion. Let's not talk about glass cannons. Perfume and soap are not worth mentioning. Let's just talk about the gravity formula, electromagnetic formula, and calculus that everyone must memorize now, but it's just too much." Appeared in the ancestor period."

"Yes, although those are only said to have been discovered by the Five Elements Flag, I don't know who they are, but it is precisely because of the development of these sciences that they have greatly promoted our country from a feudal society to a capitalist society."

"Speaking of the social system, actually... I have always had a bold guess."

"what?"

"I always feel that Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister system, established the cabinet system, and many government reforms. I always feel that he is deliberately leading us to the capitalist revolution."

"Why don't I say that Emperor Taizu is a time traveler? If not, who would have left behind so many followers!"

"If I have to talk about guessing, I have a bolder guess here!"

"what?"

“I think—Emperor Taizu may still be alive!”

"..."

"Brother, your guess is no longer bold."

"It should be said to be whimsical!"

"That's right, big brother, can you do the math? It has been 500 years since the first year of the Ming calendar!"

"Yes, although we all know that Emperor Taizu's merits and good fortune, he was already the number one master in martial arts at the age of weak crown, and today's Daming Royal Martial Arts School was established by Emperor Taizu... But you said that Emperor Taizu lived until now , this is a bit too exaggerated!"

"Then how do you explain that in Taizu's mausoleum, there is nothing inside his coffin?"

"Is there still a small number of people who made fake tombs in history?"

"That is, the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the Emperor Taizu has such a great talent and strategy, don't you know?"

"But judging from the history books, Emperor Taizu is not the kind of character who would set up fake tombs!"

"Okay, okay, don't argue. Okay, as you said, Emperor Taizu can live to this day, then you tell me, how could he helplessly watch his descendants be so unworthy, even even The country he has worked so hard to build will be thrown away and he won’t be able to correct it?”

"Also, with Emperor Taizu's generous and benevolent character, if he had the immortality technique, would he not pass it on to many generals?"

"That is, you must know that the Emperor Taizu even handed down the Yin-Yang Sutra, which is a technique that can allow us to cultivate to the level of a master."

"But... But I just think that Emperor Taizu is still alive!"

"It's meaningless if you say that. I still think that Emperor Taizu is dead."

"No, don't you think that in the course of history, there are a few coincidences that are very special? In the 60th year of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhongzong encountered a hurricane overseas and was rescued by a mysterious old man who looked exactly like Taizu... Ming Dynasty In 89, the development of mathematics in our country fell into a bottleneck, and another mysterious old man donated books... And there is also, in 130 of the Ming calendar..."

"Brother, the historians you mentioned have already explained that there are so many strange people and strange things in the folk. Could it be that every strange person and strange thing was done by Emperor Taizu?"

In a certain college, there was a heated debate among the students in the classroom.

Listening to the disputes of these students, an old man outside the classroom who was cutting flowers and plants with scissors showed an inexplicable smile on his face, and muttered to himself: "Unexpectedly...someone actually guessed that I am still alive?"

Yes, this ordinary gardener on campus is the Atractylodes atractylodes that should have survived in this world for nearly 500 years!

To be honest, he himself didn't know that after entering the alchemy state, his lifespan was so long.

For a total of 500 years, on the earth, it can almost go through several dynasties.

In fact, at the beginning, Bai Shu wanted to use his long lifespan to change the fate of Chinese people in this world, but after 20 years since he became emperor, seeing his former subordinates die one by one, Xiao Zhao and Zhao Min also grew up. , He suddenly realized that it was very difficult to change the destiny of a nation by relying on his own power alone.

Especially in the situation that "Mountain and River Breathing Map" can only be cultivated by himself, he can't explain to the courtiers why he alone can live forever.

Therefore, 40 years after he succeeded to the throne, he directly suspended his death.

Then, as a bystander, he watched the development of the world almost indifferently, and only chose to act when the country was in crisis or the nation was in crisis.

Over hundreds of years, he saw his son's diligence, his grandson's greed and lust, and his great-grandson's ignorance... He saw how the huge empire he built slowly began to corrode from within, and then gradually collapsed, so what? After experiencing severe pain, he finally entered modern society.

As discussed by those students, Bai Shu was extremely depressed at the beginning of this process, especially watching his descendants continue to make all kinds of stupid decisions, and even the territory he worked so hard to conquer was completely ignored by them. When he was heartbroken and discarded, he even wanted to directly destroy these unworthy descendants humanely.

But slowly, he regained his composure and chose to continue watching.

In this way, 500 years passed by.

Under the effect of time, his mentality also changed from the original happy and sad, to the final no joy and no sadness.

"It's just a pity that the alchemy state seems to be the bottleneck of cultivation in this world. For 500 years, my strength has been stuck at the peak of the alchemy state, and I have never been able to enter the foundation building state."

Bai Shu thought helplessly.

As early as before he abdicated, his strength had already reached the peak of the alchemy state, and now more than 400 years have passed, and his strength is still at the peak of the alchemy state, without making any progress.

If it wasn't for decades ago that the world's technological development began to surpass that of the earth, allowing Bai Shu to learn more knowledge and skills, Bai Shu would have committed suicide and returned to Earth long ago.

But even so, he gradually began to feel bored.

in the afternoon.

When Bai Shu completed his mission and returned to the school dormitory, he suddenly felt a premonition.

"I'm finally going to die?"

Bai Zhu looked overjoyed.
