Chapter 415 Street Talk

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lu Ban followed Gui Wen along the way, fearing that he would get lost in this magnificent Zhucheng. However, everything around him was so novel, and his eyes were involuntarily attracted to things he had never seen before, so Gui Wen needed to stop and wait.

    Gui Wen knew the importance of Lu Ban, so he showed considerable patience. Even if Lu Ban looked around along the way, he did not blame him for wasting time.

    This walk takes you from day to night. At night, Zhucheng becomes even more dreamlike, with colorful light refracted from the glass and lighting up the night.  This was the first time Luban saw such a bright night. After nightfall, the colors became more brilliant, the streets became busier, and even the air became sweeter.

    A very fragrant smell wafted from the street, and Lu Ban then remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.

    Fortunately, Gui Wen was considerate and took Luban into the source of the sweet fragrance. It turned out to be a food street.  The whole street was dazzling with restaurants and stalls. Lu Ban had never thought that there were so many delicious foods in the Three Realms. He even saw a restaurant specializing in selling dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder.

    "You also said that this is not heaven. If it is not heaven, how can there be dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder?" Lu Ban stared at the bustling store with wide eyes, saying that only gods can have the opportunity to eat such extraordinary food.

    "This is indeed the mortal world, but you are not familiar with it. The people who live here claim that this place is the first mortal world, and the place you live in is the second mortal world." Gui Wen said, and then randomly selected a hotel.  He walked in and said, "Forget it. I don't have that much money. I'll treat you to some home-cooked food."

    "Okay." Lu Ban won't mind. After all, he is a guest and will not be picky about the host's arrangements.

    Walking into a restaurant called ¡®Lu Guochang Cuisine¡¯, Lu Ban was surprised to find that it seemed that all the countries in the world existed side by side.

    Now is the dining peak, and the store is crowded. I found a corner seat and randomly ordered three dishes, two meat and one vegetarian, and a bowl of rice.

    Lu Ban looked at the living beings around him who were either engrossed in eating or talking loudly, and felt a little dazed for a moment.

    "The State of Chu rejected the cooperative development project proposed by Zhucheng and recalled all Chu students studying in Zhucheng. I think they are out of their minds and would refuse free study opportunities." Sitting at the next table were four young people.  Man, the topic they discussed made Luban's ears prick up.

    The state of Chu?  That's where you can use your talents.  Listening to the discussion in the next room, it seemed that Zhu Cheng wanted to cooperate with the Chu State to form an alliance, but the Chu State refused and recalled the students.  Isn't this stupid?  After Lu Ban saw the grand scene of Zhucheng, he immediately decided to learn Zhucheng's skills, return to Chu State to serve, expand the territory of Chu State, and use his technology to prove that he was the most skilled craftsman in the world.  Why is Chu not willing to learn?  Luban was confused.

    "Have you read the novel about cultivating immortals?" Indeed, another person spoke.

    What is a novel about cultivating immortals?  Lu Ban said he didn't understand, and wondered if it had something to do with the novelist who "talked about it in the streets and heard it through hearsay".

    Seeing that some people sitting in the seat were confused, the young man continued to explain: "I like to read novels about cultivating immortals, but do you know what is the characteristic of novels about cultivating immortals? That is, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of years the protagonist has been cultivating, after leaving seclusion,  The world outside is still the same as before.¡±

    "So read less novels. The novels are all made up, and the novels about cultivating immortals are even more nonsense. Zhucheng, our city, has only developed for five hundred years, but it is changing with each passing day. Many monks who have retreated to Zhucheng lament the changes in Zhucheng.  Five hundred years have already turned the world upside down, and the world has changed dramatically. If you practice cultivation for thousands of years, won't the sun and the moon change the sky?" The man who spoke at the beginning criticized the novels about cultivating immortals as nonsense, and used Zhucheng, where he lived, as an example to prove the nonsense of the novels.  The changes in Zhucheng are real and no one can deny it.

    "Listen to me, our Zhucheng has indeed developed, but it is just a special case. Although we are accustomed to it and think that the changes in Zhucheng are the truth, for other countries, Zhucheng is the other one and the one that is out of place.  . Originally I was also wondering why the settings in the novels about cultivating immortals were so weird. It wasn¡¯t until one day that I read an article officially released by the Jiujiang Institute of Taoism titled "Reading Popular Novels to See Development and Non-Development" that I found out the reason.  , which explains that this setting is called 'local advantage' and 'not developing is better than developing'"

    Lu Ban listened hard, although he didn¡¯t understand very well. What is local advantage? What is also called ¡®no development is better than development¡¯?  He was very tired to listen, but because it was about Chu State, he had to listen carefully. In fact, the Chu State in the first mortal world had nothing to do with the Chu State in the second mortal world.

    The guests at the next table obviously didn¡¯t expect that the Jiujiang Institute of Taoism would officially publish an article on novels about cultivating immortals. It was a technical authority, so they all pricked up their ears to listen to the other person¡¯s explanation.After hundreds of years of seclusion, there will be no change or progress in the outside world.

    "The so-called local advantage actually means that when we solve a problem, we will first think of the method we are best at. For example, if we encounter a stone blocking the road, people with strong strength will definitely push it away with brute force, while people with weak strength will take a detour.  Over time, people with strong strength will use brute force in everything they encounter, and people with weak strength will choose to escape. If a person can solve all problems with brute force, then brute force is this person's local advantage. I  For example, a leopard is very fast, but its strength is not as strong as that of a lion, and its camouflage is not as strong as that of a tiger. Then speed is the local advantage of the leopard. And with the local advantage, everyone will rely on this advantage, and Chu State is trapped in  Because they have a vast territory and a vast territory, they can overcome any problems they encounter, so they refuse to cooperate and cooperate with Zhucheng. Their local advantages cannot be used, but we, Zhucheng, have the advantage"

    "It's really stupid and has no long-term vision. Even if they are vast, so what? If our human race does not develop in the three realms, we will be harmed by monsters sooner or later. We do not have the power to protect ourselves. We ask heaven for protection every time. It is too weak.  "

    "This is about what I'm going to say next, 'no development is better than development'. We think development is good, but in fact the kings of other countries don't think so. These kings control the land through the mountains and seas.  With resources such as salt, water, minerals, and wood, we can control absolute power, so why should we develop it? For example, didn¡¯t the Chu State break out some time ago about the King of Chu¡¯s decision to fight for water for irrigation? Keep the status quo, the king can decide to use the water  To whom, so that no matter who it is, as long as they need water, they have to ask the monarch. If development develops and reservoirs are built, and everyone is not short of water, then won¡¯t the power of the monarch be weakened? Who will give the monarch face at that time?  Therefore, for the monarch, if he wants to maintain maximum power, he cannot develop, and maintaining the status quo is the best, so that everyone can ask for help from him and he can do whatever he wants."

    "That's so good. Lu Ban understood the last thing, because he encountered water disputes between Lu and Chu more than once. Especially during the irrigation season, fighting with weapons was common.  Lu Ban had only thought about the disadvantages of water shortage before, but he never thought that water shortage would be a good thing for the monarch. It was really an eye-opener.

    If there is a monarch who thinks that water shortage is a good thing, this monarch should be overthrown.  However, Lu Ban has indeed seen that in some places, everyone is very poor, but the poorer they are, the more united they are, and the power of the monarch is greater, and families have to ask the monarch to make decisions about their affairs.  Now that I think about it, it's because the distribution rights in those places are completely controlled by the monarch.
