July 5, 69th year of the Black Iron Age, at the Longmen Sect Dojo in Baisongling.
Xiaolong held a ceremony to worship the ancestors of the gods of heaven and earth.
The offerings are incense, fruits, flowers, candles, spring water, tea, sake, steamed buns, clothes and jade, which are simple but rich.
Zhang Yi's team and more than 200 people from the People's Home followed Xiaolong to worship, thanking heaven and earth for their nurturing grace, and thanking Longmen Taoist Temple for its protection.
Zhang Yi believes in the righteous way of heaven and earth and does not believe in ghosts and gods. However, worshiping ancestors is necessary and people cannot forget their origins.
After the ceremony, Zhang Yi held a meeting with his team members and two parents from the People's Home in the stone house.
The team members include Xiaolong, Niu Ben, Xiao Han, Shi Gandang, Zhang Pingan, Anu and Yue Yaer.
The two parents were elected by the common people's family according to Zhang Yi's arrangement. Zhang Yi named them coordinators, not officials. There is no such thing as officials in Zhang Yi's organizational concept. Everyone has the same status and is only responsible. Coordinates affairs. People usually call him the parent affectionately. The term is one year, and re-election shall not exceed three years.
The male head of the family is named Zheng Qiang, and the female head of the family is named Su Baobao. Both of them are absolutely reliable and are students of Zhang Yi's first class.
"We are still very weak, just like seeds that have just sprouted in the soil," Zhang Yi said, "but don't underestimate a small seed. Its power is huge and can push away rocks that are pressing on its head. We Our team is the first seed that grows in the wasteland world. When we grow up, we can spread more seeds and create a new civilization."
"Wasteland world?"
"civilization?"
After Zhang Yi made his opening remarks, people started talking about it. This was a completely new concept for everyone.
So Zhang Yi explained.
The wasteland world is the current dark and barren world. Civilization has been destroyed, and many people have degenerated into beasts. People such as General Cao, for example, rely on their physical strength to act recklessly.
Civilization is a highly developed society, with schools, hospitals, factories and various scientific and technological inventions. People have a rich material life and can enjoy all kinds of food. They are also spiritually rich, with libraries, theaters, stadiums and various Entertainment activities.
The most important thing is that people in the civilized era understand what freedom, democracy and equality are. The country has a system to protect people's rights, and evildoers will be punished by law.
People are listening to heavenly scriptures.
The wasteland world is easy to understand, but when it comes to civilization, it brings up a lot of new terms. Zhang Yi spent half a day explaining it to everyone in detail.
This obstacle cannot be circumvented and must be broken through sooner or later.
Having come to Baisongling with the conditions, Zhang Yi was able to expand on this topic calmly.
He does not need to create new terms, he just needs to bring the disappeared terms back to the world and spread the concept of civilization. Things in the world are destined to happen twice, once in the mind and once in reality. The only way is to change first. Only people's minds can change reality.
Zhang Yi allowed the nine people in front of him to understand civilization, and then passed it on to the hundreds of people around him. It will be passed down to hundreds of people, and it will be passed down to thousands of people, and finally it will be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
This kind of enlightenment is best carried out in the form of a small team, which can fully answer everyone's questions until everyone understands.
…
"I understand, Yi Ge," Niu Ben tried hard to think and understand, his face turned red, "In the final analysis, we need to build schools, hospitals and factories, as well as laws and systems, so that we can restore the ruins that were destroyed. civilization."
Zhang Yi took the lead in applauding, and everyone cheered loudly.
It's not easy for Niu Ben to understand this. He is the person who doesn't like to use his brain the most, but now his brain is more active.
Not to mention others, their understanding is better than that of Niu Ben. Everyone has accepted the new concept, everyone is excited, and the future is becoming clearer and clearer.
"Brother Yi not only led us to deal with evil people, but also had an earth-shattering idea. He picked up his sword and slashed it, cutting a way out of the chaos. It's great. Not only can we see the blue sky, but we will also create a new civilization. "Xiaolong said happily.
"Excuse me, Brother Xiaolong, which god is the reincarnation of my adopted brother?" Yue Ya'er asked in surprise.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little mysterious, and people looked at Zhang Yi with respect and love in their eyes.
Today's meeting was held in a sacred dojo. The air was filled with the sweet smell of incense, flowers and fruits. Coupled with Yi Ge's melodious voice and passionate and powerful gestures, everyone was intoxicated and felt that Zhang Yi was a god. Reincarnation.
Zhang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was talking about civilization, but everyone was immersed in a mythical atmosphere.
So he stopped and thought to himself, there is still a process for people to accept civilization.
He is a civilized man who has traveled through time, and his myths and legends are contrary to his ideas of civilization. It seems that changing people's backward concepts is not something that can happen overnight. The progress of civilization, just like the waterwheel diversion he proposed yesterday, requires step by step Improve and finally reach your destination.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi still felt gratified. After all, everyone accepted and understood many of the concepts he mentioned, and the seeds of civilization have been planted in their hearts.
At the same time, he also knows that in this backward environment, faith is more powerful than knowledge, and myths are more attractive than civilization. Every great leader in history is more or less legendary.
"A righteous man with a long bow", Xiaolong's words were like a Taoist prophecy, giving Zhang Yi a mysterious halo from the beginning.
The process of civilization in the wasteland world can perhaps be summarized in three sentences.
Defeat magic with magic, defeat magic with myth, and finally replace myth with civilization.
…
That’s all for today. Next, we have to face serious practical problems.
How to defeat General Cao?
When the word "General Cao" is mentioned, Zheng Qiang and Su Baobao tremble all over. They used to be slaves in the general's mansion, but they never dared to look at General Cao from the front. He made a sound when he stepped on the ground, was as majestic as a mountain, and looked invincible from behind. Demon King.
General Cao is a demonized person, and there are many people like him in the world.
Fortunately for Xiaolong and others, they had close contact with General Cao and knew that he was not a demon king, but a giant that was difficult to defeat.
"Don't be afraid, General Cao is a human being, not a demon king." Zhang Yi saw the two men's scared expressions, smiled and comforted them, and then said to the brothers, "The five of us can defeat General Cao together."
"That's for sure, brother Yi," Shi Gandang said boldly, "I knocked him to the ground, and my brothers went up to chop him with swords and hit him with sticks. I don't believe they can kill him!"
The brothers laughed loudly. The little fat man was very strong. With his strength, he could knock over General Cao with one head.
"As long as you can knock him over, I can kill him with one sword," Xiao Han nodded seriously, "The problem is, there are five Vajras guarding him day and night, so it's not something we can deal with. .”
"So we must get rid of the King Kongs before we can deal with General Cao." Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Xiaolong," Shi Gandang said, holding his stomach and frowning, "Ever since I swallowed your Dragon Tiger Pill, my stomach has been burning. I can bear it if I think I can. But, Brother Xiaolong,
You wouldn’t have poisoned the Dragon Tiger Pill, would you?”
The people present were surprised and went to see Xiaolong.
