Although Fangzheng always thought that the things in his house were very good, not everything was the best.
For example, his view of cultivation in the Xianxia world was very ordinary.
In fact, from the point of view of a modern person like Fangzheng, the requirements of cultivation could be said to be quite anti-human. It could even be said that this was a kind of backward thinking that was produced under a backward world view.
In this world, all demons wanted to cultivate and become immortals. Bai Suzhen was the same. After she transformed, she went straight to Mount Emei to beg Guanyin, saying that she wanted to cultivate and become immortals. She did not know what to do.
And then?
What happens after you cultivate and become immortals?
What is your goal? What is your goal?
Mortals want to be ranked in the imperial examinations, have beautiful wives, and have many children and grandchildren. These were all practical needs. It was the same in the modern world. People did not earn money to buy a house, but to have free space and the freedom to choose a marriage after buying a house. Scientists studied quantum physics in order to find the truth of the world.
In fact, to put it bluntly, every need had its own ultimate goal.
So what was the ultimate goal of cultivation?
To become immortals, become immortals, and become saints?
Then what?
It was like when you entered a company and swore that you would become the company's CEO. What would happen after you become the CEO? What else do you want?
Are you going to do nothing and just be a lazy fish all day?
In Fangzheng's view, cultivation was actually a helpless choice made by the people in the Xianxia world under the backward productivity and production relations of this world. Because the political system was relatively backward, the productivity was relatively low, and the people's spiritual and material lives were relatively poor, so they became dependent on cultivation.
To put it bluntly, "There is actually nothing fun in this world. Maybe after becoming immortals, it won't be so boring?"
It was not that Fangzheng could not understand this. Think about it, he was a modern person. After returning to this era, there was indeed nothing much to do. After all, this was still the ancient era. People still pursued a stable material life. There were no mobile phones, no Internet, no video games, no way to pay for credit, and no variety of entertainment. To be able to eat three meals a day, to be able to marry and raise children, and to be able to live the rest of his life was his greatest goal.
Even if your family is rich, what can you enjoy in this world?
At most, you would stroll around the Red Joy Brothel once a day, then order all the top girls in the brothel, or go to the streets to kidnap girls.... Apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, what else could you do to satisfy your spiritual needs?
I'm afraid there's none left.
In the eyes of cultivators, the difference between them and mortals was like the difference between a university graduate and a farmer. The former had higher aspirations, while the latter only cared about their own land. As the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Thus, they transcended the mortal world and distanced themselves from the mortal world to cultivate their own immortality.
These people had never thought of using their own power to improve the lives of the people, increase productivity, and promote the overall level of civilization.
Mencius once said, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."
However, these Immortal Cultivators, "Even if they are poor, they should take care of themselves. Even if they get rich, they should take care of themselves."
He even said that he had severed karma and transcended the mortal world.
The people of the mortal world are still eating grass, and you're already going to transcend karma and seek immortality?
Have you ever thought of creating a socialist system with the characteristics of Xianxia?
But if you want to do it yourself.... Forget it, let's solve the drought problem in Miao Jiang first.
Fangzheng already had the Water Spirit Pearl, the Earth Spirit Pearl, and the Thunder Spirit Pearl. The remaining two Spirit Pearls were in Miao Jiang, so he did not continue to wander around aimlessly. Instead, he turned the boat and headed in the direction of Miao Jiang.
After a night of sailing, the group finally arrived at Miao Jiang at noon the next day.
However, the situation at hand was obviously not too good.
No, it should be said that....
"It's very serious...."
Standing at the bow of the boat and looking at the scene outside, Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru both showed uneasy expressions. As far as the eye could see, the entire land of Miao Jiang was dry and cracked. The originally lush trees had all withered. It looked like a land of death. Even the corpses of many dried animals could be seen on the riverbed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lord Baiyue is really playing big. It's rare to see someone like him. Is he really not afraid.... Huh?"
Speaking of this, Fangzheng suddenly froze. Noticing Fangzheng's expression, Linger couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Master, what are you thinking about?"
"Hmm.... I'm thinking.... Why is Lord Baiyue not afraid of people coming to his door...."
Speaking of this, Fangzheng frowned and pointed to the scene in front of him.
"Look, it's not an exaggeration to say that people are in a terrible situation. Isn't Lord Baiyue afraid that people will come to him in the name of getting rid of the demon beasts? Indeed, the water demon beast is powerful enough, but it hasn't been resurrected yet. Isn't he afraid that others will come to deal with him first? "
"This...."
Hearing this, the women were also taken aback. Obviously, they also noticed this problem.
"But Lord Baiyue is in the palace. Ordinary people can't get in."
"Ordinary people can't get in, but why can't that old man who fought with me before? Their Immortal Sword Sect doesn't walk in the secular world. Won't there be no trouble if they go in and kill Lord Baiyue? "
When Fangzheng was playing the game, he didn't feel anything. After all, the game did not show such a tragic situation in Miaojiang, so he only thought that Lord Baiyue was secretly causing trouble and no one outside noticed it. But now, the degree of desertification in Miaojiang was shocking. Why didn't anyone care?
"Immortal, there seems to be a war ahead?"
At this moment, Cai Yi looked into the distance curiously and said.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Caiyi's report, Fangzheng also frowned and looked into the distance. As expected, in the direction of the city not far ahead of the airship, there was thick smoke and the flames of war everywhere. On a careful look, he could even see Miao people dressed in white and Miao people dressed in black fighting each other.
"It seems that the White Miao and Black Miao people are fighting."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Linger was alarmed. Following that, she hurriedly grabbed Fangzheng's hand.
"Master, I beg you, help me stop them, stop this war."
"No problem … Leave it to me."
What Zhao Linger said was exactly what Fangzheng was thinking. Back in the game, he was just Li Xiaoyao, but now he was the master of the Tendo Temple, the Time Dragon, the Paladin, the Master of the Insect Swarm, the Goddess of Magical Girls …
Stopping a war between the White Miao and Black Miao people was as easy as flipping his hand for him!
"Let's go!"
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng waved his hand. The airship immediately accelerated and flew in the direction of the city.
Meanwhile, the battle between the White Miao and Black Miao people had also entered a white-hot state. Fangzheng narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
"Prepare the cannons. Intimidate them!"
As Fangzheng spoke, the cabins on both sides of the airship opened one after another. Magic cannons slid out from the cabins and aimed at the battlefield. In the next moment, whistling light beams shot out and bombarded the battlefield.
Boom —!!!
Although Fangzheng was aiming at the empty areas on both sides of the battlefield, the huge light beams that descended from the sky still shocked both sides. They stopped at the same time and instinctively looked up at the sky. When they saw the white airship hovering in the sky, they were all dumbfounded.
"W-What's going on?"
The White Miao elder, Gai Luojiao, who was standing on the city wall, also looked at the slowly descending airship in surprise. She had never seen something like this before.
"Is this the Witch King's doing?"
"Elder, what should we do now?"
"W-Let's observe the situation first before making a decision …"
At the same time, the Black Miao people also retreated in bewilderment when they saw the slowly descending airship. Since the attackers retreated, the White Miao guards naturally returned to the bottom of the city wall and watched the scene before them anxiously.
"Everyone, stop right now!!"
Soon after, a light beam descended along with the voice. Zhao Linger slowly emerged from it and landed on the ground. Gai Luojiao, who was standing on the city wall, widened her eyes when she saw Zhao Linger.
"This face … This voice … This is …"
Gai Luojiao raised her hands excitedly.
"Your Highness! Your Highness is back!!! "
