Chapter 4393 Chapter 4395 [Traveling around the world]
Time passed in a hurry, and more than ten years passed quickly.
Xiang Nan, Xiaoyue, Lu Su, Yu Shu and others traveled all over the world, and it can be said that they all opened their eyes.
In the vast forests of Siberia, you can walk for days and nights without seeing a single city. Only some tribes live there and live a very primitive life; there are so many ice bears, seals, walruses, and such large moose in the Arctic...
The life of the Romans was so carefree. Pompeii only had a small population, but it had so many places of beauty. And there are paintings all over the city depicting fertility worship...
The pyramids as high as Egypt are only for the burial of one person; there are so many rhinos, elephants, and giraffes in the East African prairie; and there are such amazing kangaroos, koalas, and platypuses in Australia...
There are thousands of miles of fertile wilderness in North and South America, but there are not many big cities. There are only a few tribes that gather together to form very primitive city-states...
After returning to Middle-earth, Xiang Nan and the others visited Gaoyao again.
However, Gao Yao's current life can be said to be extremely luxurious.
He lived in a high-rise mansion, the scale of which was not much worse than that of a royal palace. He had hundreds of slaves serving him, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Qing. He also had tens of thousands of acres of fertile land under his name, which was farmed by thousands of tenants.
"What are you doing, playing cosplay?" Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
After Gao Yao took the elixir of life, his body remained in the best condition at all times. He could not eat, drink, or rest. Therefore, there was absolutely no need for a bunch of people to serve him, and he had acquired so many fields and so many tenant farmers. …It’s just that I have nothing to do after I’m full, I’m free.
"Let's play, what else will we do?" Gao Yao said with a smile, "I am the biggest in this family now. I can scold whoever I want, hit whoever I want, and play with whoever I want... No one can control me. , isn’t it great, much better than playing video games, I tell you.”
Xiang Nan nodded.
Power is indeed addictive.
This is also the reason why many people still cling to retirement even though they have reached retirement age.
They are not looking for the salary, but they are unwilling to give up the power in their hands.
In that position, they can respond to a hundred requests and keep their word. Once they leave that position, they are just ordinary retired old men. They may still have a bit of face, but they use it less often, and even the tea goes cold as soon as they leave.
"As long as you are happy." Xiang Nan nodded.
He didn't care about these things. Gao Yao's current behavior may seem absurd and extravagant, but in the long history, it is considered normal.
It's just annexing some land, beating and scolding a few domestic slaves, and bullying a few maids. It's not that bad.
Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty, when he was the governor of Jingzhou, actually led an army to rob merchants and became extremely rich. He had a banquet with his guests and arranged for beautiful women to persuade him to drink. If the guests refused to drink, he would kill the beautiful women.
When brothers Wang Dun and Wang Dao attended a banquet, Wang Dun refused to drink even though he could. As a result, Shi Chong killed three beauties in a row. Wang Dun's expression remained unchanged, "He killed all his people, what does it have to do with me?"
Song Taizu's brother-in-law Wang Jixun got tired of eating chicken, duck and fish, and changed his appetite to cannibalism, especially young and beautiful maids. Using a method similar to Ling Chi's, he cut the flesh from their bodies and ate it, and ate hundreds of them...
Compared with these people, being tall is normal.
As long as he doesn't turn into a murderous maniac, or transform into titanium like Emperor Shitian, Xiang Nan will let him go.
Time flies, one year, two years, three years and four years. Soon the emperor of the Han Dynasty passed away, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and Lu Pheasant, in the name of the Queen Mother, listened to the government behind the curtain. Later, Lu Pheasant also brought Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty to Mount Zhongnan to pay a visit, hoping to meet the immortal Xiang Nan and his sister Lu Su.
She and Lu Su had been separated for more than 20 years, and she still missed her sister a little. Of course, she wanted to learn some methods of seeking immortality and immortality through her sister.
By then, she will be able to enjoy wealth forever.
However, Xiang Nan also did not see her or Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty. He just sent Lu Su to ride a crane down the mountain and tell Lu Pheasant a message, "If you have to be merciful, be merciful."
Because after Lu Fei listened to the government behind the curtain, in order to consolidate her power, she made many Lu kings. Her brothers, nephews, sons-in-law, and grandsons were all crowned kings.
Liu Bang's relatives were suppressed by her, and she successively eliminated Han Xin, Peng Yue and other meritorious officials, and even made Liu Bang's beloved concubine Madam Qi into a human pig.
Such a crazy and inhumane act is extremely rare in history. So much so that her son Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty was deeply frightened and eventually died of worry.
Xiang Nan hopes that Lu Pheasant will not be so cruel and mean in his actions, and be merciful and merciful. Keep a thin line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. This is not only good for others, but also good for yourself.
You must know that it was because Lu Fei was so ruthless that after her death, Liu Bang's descendants united with all the ministers in the court to oppose Zhu Lu. In the end, the Lu family was almost wiped out, which was Lu Pheasant's retribution.
…
Lu Su then followed Xiang Nan's instructions, rode a crane and came to Lu Pheasant, and handed the bamboo slips with the words "If you find a place for mercy, spare others" written on it, into Lu Pheasant's hands.
"I haven't seen you for twenty-four years. Sister, you are still so young." Lu Pheasant looked at Lu Su and said in surprise.
After not seeing each other for more than 20 years, Lu Su had hardly changed. She was still young and beautiful, with no wrinkles on her face. It is truly worthy of me to seek immortality and practice Taoism with the gods. As expected, I have the ability to maintain my beauty and live forever.
"Do we know each other?" Lu Su asked a little strangely when she saw what she said.
"How come you don't know me? I'm your sister." Seeing her say this, Lu Zhi said excitedly.
Lu Su shook her head, "I didn't know I had a sister. You probably got the wrong person."
"Sister, I am indeed your sister. My name is Lu Pheasant, your name is Lu Su, and our father is Lu Gong. Why don't you remember them all? Before my father died, he told me that I must find you." Lu Pheasant said excitedly.
"Really?" Lu Su saw that she was so excited and it didn't look like she was lying, so he had no choice but to be suspicious, "Okay, I will do an investigation. I have already passed on the message, so you can take care of yourself." After that, he rode on the crane again. go.
"Sister, sister~" Seeing this, Lu Pheasant shouted quickly, but could not call Lu Su back, so he had no choice but to leave.
…
Lu Su returned to the villa and asked Xiang Nan about his family.
Xiang Nan didn't answer and directly erased her memory.
For Lu Su, there is no benefit in acknowledging relatives with Lu Pheasant.
Lu Pheasant is insidious, selfish and ruthless. If the sisters knew each other, Lu Pheasant would definitely try to find out the secret of Lu Su's immortality.
When the time comes, if Lu Su tells her, it will arouse her covetousness; if he doesn't tell her, the relationship between the sisters will be torn apart. Both of these can cause a lot of trouble.
In "Journey to the West", "trouble arose in Guanyin Yuan" because Sun Wukong showed off his brocade cassock. And "immortality" is more attractive than the brocade cassock, so naturally it should not be careless.
