[Comprehensive] Number of Merry

"I also have a question I want to ask Shanshan, how about listening to my question first?"

As if not surprised by Yaomei's solemnity at all, Wang Yunzhi cleaned his hands in the copper plate, took a white cloth to absorb the water drops, and then turned his eyes to his sister who was nine years younger than him, with a calm expression.

Wang Lang blinked and turned his head to look back: "Brother, you ask."

"I just have one question." Wang Yunzhi stared at her quietly with black eyes, his voice was as steady as usual, "Shanshan, what do you want?"

Wang Lang didn't know how she answered, she didn't even know how she got back to the house.

The words of the second brother Yunzhi are like a curse, occupying her brain all the time.

In fact, she had asked herself this question a long time ago, but she gradually forgot it as time went by.

Looking back now, there is a deafening feeling.

what does she wantwhat do you want?

Unable to wait for a moment, Wang Lang looked at the stone inkstone on the case table and slapped himself unconscious.

Still ignorantly stepping into the dreamland, Wang Lang, who was familiar with the dream world, looked around and stepped straight into the big formation in the center of the room.

The pattern engraved on the ground shimmered, and when you calm down again, no matter how many times you look at it, it is equally shocking, and the bookshelf as high as the sky comes into view.And the person she was looking for was standing in front of the "Zhen" bookshelf representing the due east.

"It's early today, is there something urgent?"

In front of the boundless sea of ​​books, the white-haired snow-white man put down the bamboo slips and looked at Wang Lang.

His eyebrows and clothes are all white, forming a strong contrast with those deep black eyes, giving people a feeling of extreme simplicity and solemnity.

Wang Lang responded, his eyes reflexively fell on the man's face, and then moved away slightly uncomfortably.

——A strange cinnabar-colored pattern was printed on the brows of the other party, which should have been as clean and flawless as white jade. The pattern was the largest one written on the charm on the forehead of the little cute thing she photographed that day.

Although he didn't feel that what he did was wrong at all, every time he saw the pattern on the forehead of the other party, Wang Lang always felt a very subtle sense of guilt, as if he had scribbled on the cultural relics carefully collected by the museum. Same.

I didn't do anything wrong, it was him who was wrong.

Repeating this sentence again in his heart, Wang Lang raised his head, his black eyes were firm: "I have something to ask you, Xiaowang."

"You said."

The other party spoke lightly, and Wang Lang's originally impetuous and chaotic heart calmed down with his tranquil expression.

"What exactly do you want me to do for you?" Wrinkled his eyebrows and asked this sentence, Wang Lang bit his lip and continued:

"I was too hasty in waking you up, which led to the consequences of leaving the modern age and reincarnating in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I admit it. You said that time can only go back and cannot move forward. Unless you restore the list of gods, I will help you. You said that I can't help now, I must Learn something from this era first, I will. But you have to tell me why I need to learn this!"

"This place is thousands of years behind my time. What's the point of wasting my time getting acquainted with those old ideas? How can living in accordance with the rules of this world help you? The so-called Tianshidao In your eyes, aren’t those talisman spells and the like just trivial tricks!”

As most of the pragmatists, Wang Lang only spent one night to accept the fact that "the strange world in his dream is actually related to the list of gods in ancient mythology".

The person standing in front of her called herself "Wang", and most likely it was the famous Jiang Shang in history.And although she has never seen the other party use any wonderful spells (it doesn't count if the cute thing turns into a human, she didn't see the process), but since the other party has an artifact that only exists in legends like the Conferred Gods List and can use it, mastering spells is a must. certain.

If you want to restore the list of gods, shouldn't you rely on such supernatural power?Even if she lived well in this world, how could it help these things?

Reiterating his firmness with his eyes, Wang Lang waited silently for the other party's reply.

"I thought you would have asked earlier." Still in a flat tone, Jiang Shang looked at her, his deep black eyes contrasted sharply with the pure white Shengxue's eyebrows, like a landscape splashed with ink, "Since you only asked now, Then it’s okay to tell you.”

It means that if she had asked him earlier, wouldn't she have said it? She always felt that something was wrong...

Wang Lang glanced at him.Forget it, as long as he is willing to tell her, other issues are not important.

"In ancient times, people and gods lived together in Kyushu. In the middle ages, the gods were hidden and the sages came out. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the voices of the sages were no longer heard. The heaven and the earth have been judged. The fresh air rises and the turbid air sinks." Yu Guang glanced at Wang Lang With an expression of listening to the scriptures on his face, he paused for a moment, and changed his words without any trace, "According to my personal judgment, after the Qin Dynasty, the environment of the Kyushu Continent is no longer suitable for performing Taoist secret arts, and this is also the case in this era."

Wang Lang blinked: "Then what should we do?"

She didn't ask the stupid question of why she didn't send me to the pre-Qin period. After all, the longer the time travel back, the more energy would be consumed;

Jiang Shang asked without answering, "Have you heard of Tianzi Qi?"

"Of course I've heard of it. The qi of the Son of Heaven is like a dragon and a tiger, and its colors are multicolored. Ordinary people can't see it, but those who are good at qi can see it."

Wang Lang answered without thinking.The emperor's anger and so on, there are high school Chinese textbooks, Fan Zeng said at the beginning of "Hongmen Banquet".

Jiang Shang nodded slightly: "Since the gods are far away, the emperor's authority is the most important in the world. What I use to restore the list of gods is the dynasty's luck that symbolizes the authority in the world."

It sounds very mysterious...

Wang Lang frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head in doubt: "Since you need the spirit of the emperor, why don't you just let me be reborn in Sima's family? I will ascend the throne at the age of four, and I have lived in the Wang family for ten years. There is no chance to get close to Tianzi Qi."

"Who said that the luck of the dynasty is the temperament of the emperor." Shengxue's eyebrows were drawn, Jiang Shang looked at her quietly, his eyes were like the deep sea, "Emperor Yuan reigned for six years, Emperor Ming reigned for four years, and the new emperor was only six years old. Whose credit do you think is responsible for the fact that there are so frequent changes and the political situation is not chaotic?"

"...Of course it's my prime minister." After hesitating for a while, Wang Lang gave the correct answer.This is something that everyone in the Eastern Jin Dynasty knows well.

Back then when Wen Qiao was traveling to the south, he saw Jiang Zuo's initial creation, but the rules and regulations had not yet been raised, and he was very worried about the fate of this new regime.It wasn't until after meeting with Director Wang that Wen Qiao let go of his worries, and said cheerfully, "Jiang Zuo has his own Guan Yiwu, so I don't have to worry about it!"

The year before last, Emperor Ming passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Empress Dowager Yu and Zhong Shuling Yu Liang pushed out Wang Dao together.However, when Zhao Shicong invaded Qunqiu and Fuling, killed and plundered more than 5000 people, the Jiankang court, who was greatly shocked, immediately issued an edict to appoint Wang Dao as the chief minister, and to supervise all Chinese and foreign military forces—the enemy is now, everyone knows The power that the Nandu court can rely on the most is Wang Dao!

In other words, no matter how the person sitting on the throne changes, as long as Wang Dao is in Jiankang, the hearts of the people in the Jin Dynasty will be stable for a day.

This is a special era when the power of aristocrats overwhelms the power of the royal family...

"Then you can just talk about the dynasty's luck, and what to do with the emperor's luck."

He raised his eyebrows in some puzzlement, and suddenly thought of a possibility, Wang Lang changed his expression, "Wait, there is no dynasty luck for you to use in modern times, how did you restore the list of gods?"

"Didn't you already guess it?" He spoke in the same calm and flat tone as before, with no shame on his face, "You are using your luck as the host."

Sighing, he said again: "Compared with a country, the luck of a person is very different. It took me more than ten years to get through the acupoints of the center and the lower realm."

How dare he look disgusted!Look disgusted!

Wang Lang clenched his fists and trembled all over. The loss and depression that had been abandoned by the goddess of fate for more than ten years in the depths of his heart surged up in an instant, tearing her reason apart:

"I said, how can someone be so bad that they haven't even ordered another bottle for more than ten years; no matter how well prepared they are in advance, there will always be all kinds of unexpected disruptions; fun, study, travel, exams, and communication practices have never been same pass.Should I thank you for not letting me die violently, but to live to adulthood safely, bastard! "

All the resentment accumulated since the beginning of reincarnation erupted, Wang Lang grabbed the other party's collar and gritted his teeth.

"If the two forces are basically equal, they will promote each other like yin and yang. Your personal luck is too far from what I need to restore the list of gods, which will cause the one-sided situation back then."

"So blame me?" His face was expressionless.

"Yeah." Plain as usual.

Wang Lang stared at the unashamed and indifferent face nearby for a while, and then broke out:

"You have no girlish heart at all, die for me! Will you become a cute thing? Amazing! Do you know how much trouble you have caused others! Ah!"

"Go to hell, bastard!"

He picked up his collar and beat him up.

For some unknown reason, Jiang Shang just avoided it symbolically, and didn't care about his messy clothes and loose hair crown. He even turned his body sideways when the two of them fell to the ground, holding Wang Lang protect.

When Wang Lang's hands were exhausted and his anger was almost vented, he lowered his head to look at Jiang Shang, whose hairpin was on the floor, his clothes were messy, and he didn't fight back or resist, and that weird sense of guilt surfaced again——

Mom, I seem to have scribbled on the special cultural relics collected by the Palace Museum...

Letting go of his fingers, biting his lips, Wang Lang looked complicated: "You... think you won't fight back..."

Noticing that the other party's eyes were staring behind her, she froze for a moment, then looked back along the other party's line of sight.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah—!?"

Wang Lang was so startled that his voice changed.

What a joke! ?How did the second brother appear here! ! !

"I didn't have time to tell you just now. One-seventh of the restoration of the Conferred God List has been completed, and you can bring someone here with you." Jiang Shang reminded lightly, his voice as calm as ever.

Ghosts believe you didn't make it in time!Absolutely is intentional!on purpose! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Looking at his elder brother's complex and inexplicable gaze, and then looking down at the situation of himself and the people under him, Wang Lang wanted to cry without tears.

【Note [-]】Pragmatism

Pragmatism's theory of truth is actually a kind of agnosticism.It believes that knowledge comes from experience, and what people can know is limited to experience.As for what is behind the experience, that is unknowable, and there is no need to ask this question.This question is moot.Because no matter how you say it, people can never go beyond the sphere of experience to know anything.To solve this problem, have to rely on experience.The so-called truth is nothing more than an explanation of experience, which makes sense for complex experiences.If it makes sense, it is truth and it is useful to us.Useful is truth.There is no such thing as objective truth.
