Chapter 16 No One Is Perfect

May 11, 2018

After returning from the Golden Genting ruins, Wang Jiu didn't even bother to say hello to Zhao Chenlu, so he rushed into the information room and checked all the information about the founder.

The two founders of the Holy Sect are legendary figures.

Unlike the later "Taishang" sect leader, the two founders have been at the focus of public discussion for a long time. Due to the tolerance of the Holy Sect to the public's discussion, the legendary story about the founder has lasted for two thousand years.

There are relatively rigorous historical materials, and through the public information of one school, the third family, the third family, and the seven generations of the family were compared and analyzed to the details lost in the official history, and the one-sided records of a certain historical material were corrected.

There are also bold and even radical historical hypotheses, creating a horrifying historical view through various motives, and then collecting various information to try to argue. If you find supporting information, you will promote and show off, and if you encounter unsupported information, you will ignore it. If someone stands up and opposes, you will splash dirty water and attack it personally, and constantly creates a whirlpool of public opinion to set off your popularity.

Another thing is artistic creation that is simply entertaining, borrowing historical background and characters to write your favorite stories.

The last type of art works have the largest number and the best market.

Because the Holy Sect was surprisingly tolerant of folk art creation, as people became accustomed to the existence of the Holy Sect during the Peace Period, the intensity of historical adaptation became increasingly greater. In the early years, people had to imagine that the founder of the Holy Sect had to be somewhat careful, but with the development of the times, people became more and more at ease and bold. Since twenty years ago, this kind of creative courage has reached an outrageous level. Fashion pioneers led by Jinyucheng have begun to innovate in various demonic paths.

For example, assume the two founders as young and beautiful girls. During the day, they killed demons and led the ancestors of Xiangzhou to ignite the fire of civilization. At night, they groped for comfort and comfort each other, and were passionate.

What's more, they directly portrayed these two men as witches. With their tight, wet and easy kung fu, many heroes from the Third Academy and the Seventh Family were willing to conquer the world for them as puppets. If there were opponents during this period, it would inevitably be a passionate personal battle. Then the confrontation between the witches and the Chaos Beast is inevitable...

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

For example, the book "The Ice River of the Ice Age" that Wang Jiu is currently reading tells the story of the human ice age. After the prehistoric law, the continent was covered with ice and snow, almost all the laws of immortality were frozen, and human civilization quickly declined. Survivors were living together with large sects and aristocratic families as the core.

According to the official history that can be found now, the ice age lasted for at least three thousand years, and human civilization was finally able to break the ice and recover, which was somewhat lucky, especially most of the prehistoric heritage was preserved through various means, which was even more miraculous. However, this beautiful ice river proposed a new explanation, believing that in the Ice Age, there were two girls who inherited the legacy of the prehistoric times, silently guarding the human civilization. They were willing to risk running on the ice-covered continent to help the community in the crisis. They lived a long life span and waited until the end of the Ice Age and the arrival of the dark age, and finally remained silent.

As for why such a solemn history is named Yanjue Glacier?

Because whenever a human being of a certain ethnic group falls into despair, they will inject passion into each other by giving their bodies. One person is despair, and the people of a ethnic group are despair, so they organize large-scale ceremonies and combine with each other in the most solemn and intense way... The brushwork that clearly describes the profound historical sense of despair vividly makes the realm of the entire novel sublimate.

Then the novel attracted Wang Jiu, which put forward an interesting hypothesis: in the late prehistoric era and the early Ice Age, in order to ensure that human civilization can be passed on, the remnants of the prehistoric era created guardians, that is, the two girls, responsible for supporting human civilization when human civilization cannot enter the self-generating cycle.

The two sect leaders of the Holy Sect are descendants of the Guardian.

This kind of artificial creation theory is different from the mainstream historical views, but it undoubtedly provides a possibility worthy of in-depth analysis. Because the actions of the first sect leader are really difficult to explain by human spontaneous behavior - it is too noble and too selfless. No matter how Wang Jiu is not familiar with the world, in his understanding, humans are essentially selfish creatures. It is rare to be selfless on a broad scale. Various personal preference issues are indispensable in the details. However, the two founders of the Holy Sect are truly flawless saints from the beginning. This is why they are intimidated by the seven families with disagreements at that time and ultimately unify human civilization. And if they are regarded as humans and make humans, it is easy to explain.

Compared with humans, human-made things are indeed more likely to be selfless. And this can also explain why the inheritance of the Holy Sect is related to the demon race - because only the demon race has such a long life span!

Even in the Jiuzhou era, immortal cultivators could not live for thousands of years, especially when the laws of heaven and earth change, and when the spiritual wind stagnates and the spiritual energy is exhausted, their lifespan will be greatly reduced. The creatures in the Yanjue Ice River that protects human civilization for three thousand years cannot be human, but rather like demons.

In fact, during the war between immortals and demons, immortals have been trying to understand the demons and absorb their strengths for their own use. Among them, the longevity of the demons is also one of the key topics, but the priority is not the highest. If the war between immortals and demons cannot be won, it will be of no use to the natural life span, so the most priority is always the research on directly strengthening combat power.

Until the decisive battle, the research team on longevity did not produce any real results, but it is not ruled out that they took the risk of putting immature results into application and unexpected success. Even if they were ineffective for humans, it was very likely to be effective for artificial humans.

Secondly, what interested Wang Jiu was a historical material from a merchant in a seventh-generation family.

In the beginning, the process of unifying the seven-generation family by the master of the Holy Sect was not smooth. Some were out of distrust of this unknown group of two people, while others were based on interests. The former could reverse the impression through continuous achievements, while the latter had almost no solution.

Merchants are typical conflicts of interests. In the Dark Age, merchants were once the closest family to the dominance. Therefore, the new order established by the Holy Sect had the lowest short-term returns for them. As for the long-term? The families that considered long-term interests in the Dark Age all suffered heavy costs.

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

The results are not gratifying, and there is nothing to be called a practical product. Even if all the information is collected one-sidedly with the greatest malicious intention, there is no problem with the first sect leader. Whether it is personal morality or work ability, they are impeccable, and they can always find the correct solution in the complex situation. In the merchant's information, there are many malicious speculations that the many problems faced by human beings at that time may be the situation deliberately created by the two founders who colluded with forces from somewhere. Otherwise, how could they come up with a solution when everyone was helpless?

Of course, this kind of speculation cannot be accurate, and even on the other hand, it forces merchants to say such things that are not even considered to be storming, which shows how flawless the two founders are.

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

It is a certain fact that humans are defective creatures. If there are so-called flawless characters, they are either official overpromotion or... they are not humans.

This speculation coincides with the previous artificial hypothesis, but at the end of this historical material, another clue that attracted Wang Jiu was very interested.

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

"Even if there is a conflict with those two that will never be resolved, I have to admit that their actions are impeccable, so this makes people even more confused. What are they thinking and what they want? People always have to be motivated to do things, but their behavior makes people unable to find the motivation. The Li family and the Zhao family all believe in their selflessness, but I don't believe it no matter what. Merchants always guess from the worst perspective when looking at people, so I think they must have other purposes... Otherwise, why do they refuse to disclose their life experience and then make private records without hiding them in the world!"

When Wang Jiu used this question to ask the Sect Master of the Holy Sect, the Sect Master didn't seem to care.

"It's just that the ancestors of the merchants were nitpicking, after all, there were serious conflicts. Indeed, the identity of the first sect leader was a mystery, as if he had suddenly appeared. But in that era, rashly revealing his origin would only cause trouble. At that time, many heads of the seven major families did not know who their biological mother was until they succeeded. There were many casual cultivators outside the aristocratic families, so this was not surprising. As for the private records not being made public, this is even more common. Many people have the habit of diary, and normal people will not make diaries public."

Wang Jiu asked: "But according to the character of the first sect leader, they are certainly not normal people. It is wrong to bring them into them with the logic of normal people."

The sect leader was stunned for a moment, thought carefully, and said, "But it would be too harsh to ask them for everything they have to use..."

Wang Jiu said: "It is not to use standards to demand, but to try to understand their behavior patterns. According to historical records, they gathered all the heroes in the world to establish the civilized order of Xiangzhou. What they did during this period can only be explained by their perfect people. But if they were perfect people, why would there be insignificant flaws?"

"Because whether it is the concept of perfection or the concept of flaws, they are just summarized and deduced by humans based on existing experience, and perhaps something unexpected happens in reality."
