Tianyu is a world where technology and magic coexist, but the technology on the surface has stagnated for many years.
It is roughly the same as the previous life, slightly surpassed, and has entered the early stage of the interstellar era, but has not surpassed the level of the era gap.
But it is probably because of the existence of such things as magic and superpowers, so that under the surface technology, there are countless black technologies!
Or magical technology?
Super technology?
Psionic technology?
No matter what it's called, it's all the same thing anyway, and it's actually just a different kind of Qi Dao.
In such a big environment, coupled with the special political environment, the power of capital in the capital world is very strong.
Although the entire Tianyu Federation has completed the great unification, it is said to be a country, but it is actually a patchwork of large consortia.
As for the Tianyu officials... they are just representatives of these financial groups.As for the fundamental reason for this, it is the unique electoral system of the Federation.
Tianyu's election was nothing more than a business, and even Tianyu's boss was nothing more than the final result of business struggles.
In other words, Tianyu's superficial leader is also the result of a deal.
Therefore, the Tianyu Federation consortium is everywhere.It has also caused class solidification, material desires, money is everything, and everything seems to be bought with money.
The Bai family used to be a top family in Baiyue City.And Baiyue City, as the main city of the Federation, can become a top family here, which is obviously the top family of the Federation, definitely a big consortium.
But under the premise of continuous squandering from generation to generation without any decent leaders, the Bai family ushered in their end.
When it was passed down to Bai Jingren's generation, the Bai family had actually existed in name only.There was only one castle left, a few old properties, and even the salary of the servants who cleaned and managed the castle was unsustainable.
No, to be precise, it is the annual tax for these properties, which Bai Jingren finds very difficult.
When he was young, Bai Jingren was very ambitious. He wanted to restore the former glory of the Bai family, and he made countless efforts for this.
In order to get involved in the social circle and social network, he lost his decent life in private and quit all the servants, only the old housekeeper who watched him grow up stayed.
He used all the money to attend various parties, just to maintain the dignity of the party.Because Tianyu is such a culture, if you want to get ahead, you must have these.
Fortunately, his Bai family has a glorious history. Although it has declined and is disliked by many people, it does not need to sharpen its head like ordinary people to get in front of it.
It's a pity that although he is not considered a fool, he is not very evil. It can be said that he is a very mediocre person.
Everywhere I want to get ahead, but I hit a wall everywhere, and what I get in the end is that my life becomes more and more difficult.
After graduating from university, he is now in his late thirties. In the past five or six years, he has struggled, struggled, and was unwilling to live. However, society has taught him what is ruthless and what is mediocrity. People live a mediocre life.
He was not reconciled, but it was a pity that God didn't seem to have any love for him.
After coughing and coughing up blood, he went to the hospital and got the sad news of the advanced stage of liver cancer.
Rejecting his fate, he sold the last glory of his ancestors, the castle of the Bai family, in an attempt to overcome his illness.However, in the treatment after treatment and the struggle on the edge of life and death, luck did not favor him.
Not only did he not get cured, but he spent all his money.
why?
Why can't God let him be lucky once?
Extremely unwilling, he tried folk remedies, tried various normal or evil rituals, sought help from the supernatural hidden in the dark side of the city, and even joined the legendary cult.
However, the accident did not come, he had already sensed that his time was running out.
……
Bai Jingren lay on the bed, looking at the newly born golden-red sunrise outside the window.The faint sunlight passed through the window and shone on Bai Jingren's face.
The warm sunshine, with the vitality of all things, gave Bai Jingren only infinite resentment.
"Da da……"
At this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the door from the old butler. As the old butler of the Bai family, he had experienced very strict etiquette education.
"Please come in."
After receiving the reply, the old housekeeper pushed open the door.In the old face, a pair of dim eyes looked at the child he raised in front of him with a gloomy light.
"Young master, it's time to take your medicine!" He came to the bed meticulously, even though Bai Jingren was already sick like this, even though there was no one in the Bai family, he still served him like this.
Bai Jingren looked at the old butler in front of him, who was like a relative.But at the age of five or sixty, he is full of wrinkles, looks very old, and his temples are already gray.
Originally wearing an expensive handmade dress, it has been washed very old, and there are even some patches, but the old housekeeper wears it with a unique temperament.
Looking at the old man, bits and pieces of these years flashed through my mind.This old man has devoted himself to the Bai family and is an extremely qualified housekeeper.
"Uncle Xia, no need, I know my situation." Bai Jingren sat up with difficulty, looked at the old man, and said.
The old housekeeper's name is Bai Xia, and he is the housekeeper of the Bai family for generations. His ancestors changed their surname to Bai.
"Master..."
"Ahem..." Without waiting for Bai Xia's words, Bai Jingren suddenly blushed and coughed again.
Bai Xia immediately reached out to support the other party, but the other party kept coughing.Looking at Bai Jingren, who looked as if he was about to die from coughing, his complexion turned from flushed to pale, his face was full of distress.
After a long time, Bai Jingren coughed up a big mouthful of blood, which stained the hand towel handed out by the old housekeeper red, and his breath slowed down a little.
"You don't need to talk about it. I know what's going on with me." Holding the blood-stained towel, after taking a breath, Bai Jingren said tragically:
"A few days ago, that decoction was already my last gamble. Before I drank it, I was prepared."
At this moment, Bai Xia wanted to speak, but Bai Jingren reached out his hand to stop him.The extremely polite Bai Xia, even in this situation, did not offend Bai Jingren, swallowed what she wanted to say, and looked at Bai Jingren.
Chapter 685 Strange Communication
Bai Jingren continued: "In order to see a doctor for me, I know that you not only sold the things left at home, but even almost sold your things. Although you didn't say anything about it, I actually know it all."
Bai Xia smiled and said, "I'm a widowed old man, so it's useless to keep those."
Bai Jingren looked at Bai Xia apologetically, and said, "Our Bai family has dragged you down!"
"Young master, please don't say that!" Bai Xia immediately replied.
Bai Jingren looked at Bai Xia, changed the subject, and said: "I sold all the things, but I kept this house, just for some preparations.
It's not very good here, but it's enough for life.After I die, Xia Bo will cremate me and throw the ashes into the sea.
In this life, I have had enough. For the glory of the family, I wasted all my youth and achieved nothing.
After death...you probably don't have the face to see your father, so follow the waves and go see the world. "
Whether it is Hongmeng or Tianyu, it seems that they all have customs such as burial and returning to their roots, and cremation will pass on the soul without reason.The content of the rumors may be different, but this is roughly what it means.
"Young Master, I will accompany you..." Bai Xia's voice was choked with sobs.
Bai Jingren stopped the other party's words again, and pointed to the bedside table.As Bai Xia closed his words, he took out a document, didn't read it, and handed it over.
Because he knew what it was, he took care of everything about Bai Jingren, including the house contract.
Bai Jingren didn't reach out to take it, but looked at Bai Xia and said, "Uncle Xia, if you really still treat me as the young master, after I die, you can live well for me. I have already signed this thing, but it's a pity I couldn't get it." Leave something decent for you."
"Master, we still have a chance! The reason why I agreed with you to use that soup a few days ago is because I really found something in the Blue Sky Sect. I thought about the thing you received, if it works... "
Having said this, Bai Xia was unable to continue again, with a face full of self-blame.
"Hehe, why don't I know magic! In the family records, it is clearly stated that magic exists.
Otherwise, no matter how desperate I am, why would I have the idea of the Blue Sky Sect.I am not that group of fools who are easy to fool, and I am not so easy to be deceived. "
In Bai Jingren's words, he said sadly: "It's a pity, it's a pity that even if I do whatever it takes, even if I ask for the evil behind it, the current Bai family will be looked down upon by others.
I used to think, since I can’t ask God, as long as the devil can save me, so what if I ask the devil.Hehe, it's a pity that even demons don't seem to like me. "
Without waiting for Bai Xia to answer, the two of them stopped talking suddenly, and stared blankly at the front of the foot of the bed, in the center of the bedroom.
Where, at this moment, a light spot suddenly appeared, and the light spot continued to flicker and expand. When the two noticed it, it had already become a white light cluster.
As it continued to swell, it slowly outlined Zhang Bodao's handsome face that could kill both men and women. The gorgeous wings behind him slowly emerged, and his whole body shimmered, as if the legendary deity, untainted by the mortal world.
With such a gesture, Zhang Deming, who originally planned to use the previous routine and pretend to be a ghost, was slightly stunned when he heard such words.
While thinking, he decisively changed his posture, looked at the two people in front of him with a little playfulness, and said, "A believer like you makes it difficult for me!"
After Zhang Deming opened his mouth, the two of them came back from their sluggishness, and the next reaction became even more interesting.
Even though Zhang Deming's appearance was so... um, so extraordinary, the two of them still remained calm and did not directly bow to each other. Fortunately, he did not use the conventional magic stick style of appearance, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
"Are you...?" Bai Jingren looked at Zhang Deming with doubts on his face.He looked very calm, but his gray eyes, gradually flickering with light, betrayed his true mood at the moment.
"Why, just now you designated me as a demon, one bite after another, now I fulfill your prayer and come, so you don't recognize it?" Zhang Deming looked at Bai Jingren and said so with a playful face.
If it weren't for his appearance, he seemed to be absolutely righteous, but if his appearance was low, with such an attitude, he would easily be regarded as an evil god.
Well, it doesn't have to be the deformed, ugly and demonic kind, at least the kind that plays in the world and has an unpredictable temperament.
Bai Xia at the side seemed to be certain of something when he heard the words, and said, "It's you, the young body of the three creation gods in the blue sky sect, and the main sculpture of the three major sculptures in the main church!"
The Three Gods of Creation?Uh, in the sect scriptures created by that guy Meng Yuandong, Zhang Bodao is the God of Creation? ? ?
This Nima is a bit too big!Isn't it embarrassing others!
However, the reactions of these two people are a bit interesting, but they seem to be quite in line with the businessmen of the Tianyu family.
Hearing Bai Xia's words, Zhang Deming froze in his heart. He looked at the two of them and didn't answer, but he didn't deny it either. In the eyes of the two, it was tacit agreement.
After a moment of silence, Bai Jingren came back to his senses, and Zhang Deming said: "It seems that Jingren committed a serious crime of blasphemy just now!"
Zhang Deming showed a puzzled and thoughtful expression, his expression was inexplicable, and he said in a frivolous tone: "It seems to be so!"
Bai Xia just came back to her senses, and wanted to kneel down to do something.Bai Jingren didn't know where the strength came from, he grabbed Bai Xia, looked at Zhang Deming without turning his head, and said:
"The God of Commerce, who does not know the beginning of all things, is controlled by the alliance that created everything, and bestows light and heat, love and affection on the world, how will he punish the believers?"
Forget it for the God of Commerce, why is the God of Commerce promoted to the creation level?
Um, but it will be in line with Tianyu's national conditions at that time!
Also, am I so awesome?
I have such a bunch of titles, why don't I know it myself?
At this moment, Zhang Deming was as self-restraining as he was, and he was a little embarrassed.If it weren't for so many years of vest experience and no acquaintance looking at him, he would be scratching the ground with his toes right now.
His grandma, what kind of private goods has Meng Yuandong stuffed! ! !
Lao Tzu's sect is positioned as the god of the alliance. This is the creation of the world, and it is bestowed. I am so awesome, why do I not know at all?
Zhang Deming's thoughts flashed, and the monitoring spirit emerged. In order to prepare for this aspect, Zhang Deming asked him with a dark face: "What the hell did that guy Meng Yuandong do to me!"
"Back to the mastermind, this is still the most basic. The legends and scriptures of the Blue Sky Sect were created by Meng Yuandong by plagiarizing the scriptures and legends of the Holy See and many churches.
It is said that you are the origin of all things, the creator of all things, you are omniscient, omnipotent, you are the world..."
"Stop! If you keep talking, I guarantee that your wisdom may be replaced!" Zhang Deming stopped the other party's persecution of him in embarrassment.
It's one thing to act aggressive in front of strangers, but quite another to act in front of people who know everything.
The former is pretentious, which can give people a lot of power and give themselves a sense of accomplishment; the latter is a disease, which is in the late stage of the second disease.Especially this kind, it's embarrassing to be pulled out by an acquaintance who has never pretended to be forced!
"Anyway, you are the source of this world, and the three anchor statues you made in the cathedral have become the expression of your trinity.
Old age, Huang Lao, represents you who created the world, kind and fraternal, loves all things in the world, and is the father of all things;
The young and charming Zhang Pedao, you who represent all beauty, are the source of all beauty in this world, and you are in charge of this business..."
"Enough, I got it, get out!" Zhang Deming interrupted the monitor elf's words again, and decisively withdrew from the mind-to-heart communication.If it goes on like this, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold back.
……
Slightly returning to his senses, Zhang Deming looked at Bai Jingren. The other party's reaction obviously cannot be used to trick the other party with the normal routine of the gods. The other party has become what he is now, and it is obviously impossible to change suddenly, kneel down and kowtow to pray.
Therefore, Zhang Deming remained frivolous and said playfully: "Originally, I heard the prayers of the believers and planned to lower my favor, but now... it seems that I want to consider punishment?"
Between the words, the movements and the demeanor are a little uncertain, very much like the fickle gods in the legend, such as the legendary Loki.
However, because the appearance is too righteous, there is not much evil, but it gives people a feeling of playing in the world and looking for fun.
"Since the God of Commerce didn't do anything, can believers understand that His Highness and believers have any business to discuss?" Bai Jingren still maintained his composure, but his words were slightly disturbed.
"Business?" Zhang Deming showed a thoughtful expression, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Well, it seems to be good, then let's make a deal."
Bai Jingren suppressed the excitement and apprehension in his heart, looked at Zhang Deming and said, "It is a great honor for Jingren to be able to discuss business with the God of Commerce. What is this business deal?"
"Identity and fate?" Zhang Deming used playful words and looked at Bai Jingren with a half-smile.
Bai Jingren was taken aback for a moment, if this was said by a demon, people would be kept at a distance, but if it was a god...
