Chapter 16 No One Is Perfect

May 11, 2018 Holy Sect Sect

After returning from the Golden Cloud Peak Ruins, Wang Jiu didn't even bother to greet Zhao Shenlu, so he went directly into the data room and checked all the information of the founder.

The two founders of the Holy Sect are legendary figures.

Unlike the successive "Taishang" sect masters, the two founders have long been the focus of public discussion. And because of the Holy Father's tolerance of folk discussions, the legendary story about the founder has endured for 2,000 years.

There is a relatively rigorous historical research, through a case of public information of the seven families of the three courts, to compare and analyze the details lost by the official history, and to correct the one-sided record of a certain historical material.

There are also more daring and even radical historical hypotheses, which create a shocking historical view through various motives, and then collect various materials to try to prove it. If you find something that you can support, you will promote and show off, and if you encounter something that is not supported, you will ignore it. If someone stands up against it, they will pour dirty water and personal attacks, constantly creating a whirlpool of public opinion to boost their popularity.

Then there is the purely entertaining artistic creation, borrowing historical background and characters to write their favorite stories.

The last category of works of art has the largest number and the best market.

Because of the surprisingly tolerant nature of the Holy Father's approach to the creation of folk art, the historical adaptation became more and more vigorous as people became accustomed to the existence of the Holy Father during the peaceful years. In the early years, people had to be a little cautious when imagining the founder of the Holy Sect, but with the development of the times, people became more and more assured and bold. And since 20 years ago, this creative courage has reached an outrageous level. The fashion pioneers, led by Jin Yucheng, have begun to innovate various demon roads.

For example, the two founders are hypothesized as young and beautiful girls, and during the day they slay demons and lead the ancestors of Xiangzhou to ignite the fire of civilization. In the evening, they groped and comforted each other, and the passion was infinite.

What's more, they directly portrayed these two people as ** demon girls, relying on the kung fu of tight, narrow, moist and free, so that many heroes of the Seven Families of the Third Academy were willing to fight the world for them as puppets. If there are opponents during this period, it will inevitably be a passionate close fight. And then there is the confrontation between the demon girl and the chaos beast......

This kind of artistic creation obviously has nothing to do with exploring historical truths, and is purely to satisfy the primitive desires of creators and audiences. However, it is undeniable that even such works often contain information worthy of attention.

For example, the book "Yan Jue Binghe" that Wang Jiu is currently reading tells the story of the ice age of mankind, after the end of the flood and famine, the continent was covered with ice and snow, the laws of the fairy road were almost all frozen, and human civilization declined rapidly.

According to the official history that can be studied now, the ice age lasted for at least 3,000 years, and human civilization was finally able to break the ice and recover, which was somewhat lucky, especially most of the flood inheritance was preserved through various means, which is almost a miracle. But this gorgeous Binghe puts forward a new explanation, arguing that in the Ice Age, there were two young girls who inherited the legacy of the flood and silently guarded human civilization. They are willing to take risks to run around the snow-covered continent to help the communities in crisis. They lived a long life, and waited until the end of the Ice Age, when the Dark Ages came, and finally fell silent.

As for why such a solemn history was named the glacial glacier?

For whenever the human beings of a certain race fall into despair, they will inject passion into each other by giving charity to each other, and when one is desperate, one person will inject passion into another, and when the people of a certain race are desperate, they will organize large ceremonies and unite with each other in the most solemn and intense way...... The kind of brushwork that is obviously glamorous, but depicts the historical heaviness in despair vividly, so that the whole realm is sublimated.

Then what attracted Wang Jiu to this book was that it put forward a very interesting hypothesis: at the end of the Flood Age, at the beginning of the Ice Age, in order to ensure that human civilization could be inherited, the remnants of the flood created guardians, that is, the two girls, who were responsible for supporting human civilization when it could not enter the cycle of self-generation.

And the two sect masters of the Holy Sect are the descendants of the guardians.

This kind of artificial theory is different from various mainstream historical opinions, but it undoubtedly provides a possibility worthy of in-depth analysis. Because what the first suzerains did is really difficult to explain by the spontaneous behavior of human beings - too noble, too selfless. No matter how unsophisticated Wang Jiu is, but in his understanding, human beings are also inherently selfish creatures, and it is rare to be selfless in the big picture, and there will inevitably be various personal preferences exposed in the details. However, the two founders of the Holy Sect were truly flawless saints from the very beginning. It was also because of this that the Seven Families who had a discordant relationship at that time were able to subdue and finally unify human civilization. And if you think of them as human creations, artificial people, then it is easy to explain.

It is true that man-made things are more selfless than humans. And this can also explain why the Holy Sect Inheritance is associated with the Demon Race - because only the Demon Race has such a long lifespan!

Even in the Kyushu era, it was impossible for immortal cultivators to live for thousands of years, especially when the laws of heaven and earth changed, and the spiritual wind stagnated and the spiritual energy was exhausted, the lifespan would be greatly reduced. The creature that has guarded human civilization for 3,000 years in the glamorous glacier cannot be human, but like a demon.

In fact, during the Immortal and Demon War, the immortal cultivators have been trying to understand the demon race and absorb its strengths for their own use, among which the longevity of the demon race is also one of the key topics, but the priority is not the highest - if the immortal and demon war cannot be won, no matter how much natural life expectancy is there, it will not help, so the highest priority is always to directly strengthen the research of combat power.

Until the time of the decisive battle, the research team that studied longevity did not come up with any tangible results, but it is not ruled out that they took the risk of putting the immature results into application and unexpectedly succeeded. Even if it doesn't work against humans, it's possible that it will work against androids.

Secondly, what interested Wang Jiu was a historical material of the merchants in the seventh family.

At first, the Holy Sect Sect Master unified the Seven Families, and the process was not all smooth sailing, some people did it out of distrust of this duo of unknown origin, and some people thought about it out of interests. The former can be reversed by continuous feats, while the latter is almost inexplicable.

Merchants are typical of conflicting interests. During the Dark Ages, merchants were once the closest family to supremacy, so the new order established by the Holy Sect had the lowest short-term benefits for them. As for the long term? Families who considered long-term interests in the Dark Ages bore a heavy price.

Therefore, the Holy Sect used force to subdue the merchants, and the process was very unfriendly, so the ancestors of the merchants also spent the most effort on these two creators to dig up their black materials.

The results are not gratifying, what can be called dry goods, there is no slightest, all the information, even if it is collected one-sidedly with the greatest malice, there is no problem with the first generation of sect masters. Whether it is personal morality or work ability, they are impeccable, and they can always find the right solution in a complex situation. In the information of the merchants, there is no lack of malicious speculation that many of the problems faced by mankind at that time may be the situation deliberately created by the two founders in collusion with forces out of nowhere, otherwise how could they come up with a solution when everyone was helpless?

Of course, this kind of speculation is not accurate, and even the other way around, forcing the business to say that it is not even a matter of chasing after the wind, which shows how flawless the two founders are.

This flawlessness once again aroused Wang Jiu's curiosity and even suspicion.

It is an unmistakable fact that humans are flawed creatures, and if there are any flawless characters, it is either official over-propaganda or ...... They are not people.

This speculation coincides with the previous man-made hypothesis, but at the end of this historical material, another clue was left that Wang Jiu was very interested in.

That was the confusion left by the ancestors of the merchants.

"Even though I have a conflict with those two people that can never be resolved, I have to admit that what they did was impeccable, so it makes people even more confused, what exactly are they thinking and what do they want? People always have a motive to do things, but their actions make people unable to find a motive. The Li family and the Zhao family all believed in their selflessness, but I refused to believe it anyway. Merchants always look at people and always guess from the worst point of view, so I think they must have other purposes...... If not, why don't they disclose their backgrounds, and then hide them from the world to make private records! ”

And when Wang Jiu asked the Holy Sect Sect Master with this question, the Sect Master didn't seem to care.

"It's just that the ancestors of the merchants are nitpicking, after all, there have been serious contradictions. And it is true that the identity of the first sect master is a mystery, as if it was born out of thin air. But in those days, rashly revealing one's origins would only get into trouble. At that time, many heads of the Seven Great Families did not know who their biological mother was until they succeeded him. And there are many casual cultivators outside the family, so this kind of thing is actually not surprising. As for the non-disclosure of private records, this is more common, many people have the habit of keeping a diary, and normal people will not make the diary public. ”

Wang Jiu asked, "But according to the personality of the first sect master, of course they are not normal people. It is wrong to use the logic of normal people to bring them in. ”

The sect master was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it seriously, he said, "But it is too harsh to use the standards of people to demand them......

Wang Jiu said: "It's not about using standards to demand, but trying to understand their behavior patterns. According to historical records, they gathered the world's heroes to establish the Xiangzhou civilization order, and what they did during this period can only be explained by the fact that they were perfect. But if it is perfect, why are there insignificant flaws? ”

"Because whether it is the concept of perfection or the concept of flaws, they are only summarized and deduced by human beings based on existing experience, and perhaps accidents will happen in reality."

"It's because there are so few accidents that this concept is popular. And an unprecedented exception must be fraud. ”
