Chapter 41 The Secret of Decline
Li Zheng Hall.
Liu Shenwei frowned and held his pulse with his hands on his pulse. He had been in this position for a long time.
Finally, Empress Changsun couldn't help but ask, "Liu Yuanzheng, what's wrong with the prince?"
"What a strange thing!" Liu Shenwei is not old, only over forty years old, but he has a goatee, looking like an old man, and his behavior is quite strange, but his medical skills are superb, and no one cares about this strange thing: "There is no poison in the prince's body."
"No?"
Everyone looked puzzled, and Liu Shenwei explained: "It's strange that it's here. There is no residual poison in the prince's meridians, but no internal energy. Just like a person who has never practiced. If I hadn't personally treated the prince and understood his meridians, I would have thought that he was like this. Now, the prince is just weak and has no disease. If he had to take medicine, he only needs three or five tonic medicines, and it's okay to take it or not."
"How is this possible! He turned out to be in the Yingpo realm!" Empress Changsun said anxiously: "There is no possibility of recovery?"
"Well... I can't say that." Liu Shenwei was a little unhappy. This was the Queen Changsun. If it were someone else, he would have gotten angry. This is their temper of the "Medical King Sect" and he could not tolerate others questioning his medical skills: "If the teacher is here, there may be a way, but it may not be. Or..." Liu Shenwei paused and said, "You can make some ideas on the magic tricks and ask the warlocks of the Imperial Heaven Supervision to see if they have any way."
Empress Changsun could not hide her disappointment. If she said these two methods, it would be equivalent to not saying it.
The Medicine King Sun Simiao has a uncertain whereabouts, so it is harder to find him than to find a god. As for the strange technique, it is a long story.
In today's world, martial arts is regarded as orthodox. Except for other methods of martial arts, they can be called extraordinary arts. For example, the shamans, prophets, sacrifices of the nomadic peoples in the north, wizards, Gu masters, sorcerers of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, formation masters, etc. can all be considered extraordinary arts.
But in ancient times, there was no such distinction. Before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contend, and there were countless ways to practice. At that time, martial arts seemed vulgar, because only fools who had no brains and only had muscles could practice martial arts.
The turning point occurred when Qin Shihuang unified the world. I don’t know what happened at that time. Anyway, since Qin unified the Nine Provinces, martial arts began to flourish, and the so-called magic gradually declined.
But not all of them are dead. In fact, there has never been "decisive" and they are still there, but they are just declining.
Take witchcraft as an example. In ancient times, there was a saying of the twelve witches. Legend has it that they were transformed by Pangu's essence and blood, and had the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth. Even Emperor Xuanyuan could not defeat them.
But now, the most powerful wizard in southern Xinjiang is not the opponent of the master of Xiongpo Mirror. As for the reason, it is not that no one has studied it, but that he cannot understand it. When he reaches a certain level, it seems that there is an invisible lid that covers the upper limit. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot break through it.
In fact, the current situation of martial arts is the same. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were at least thirty or forty masters in the martial arts realm, while at present, there were only twenty masters in the martial arts realm. When we went forward, there were at least eighty masters in the martial arts realm and no less than twenty masters in the world.
Therefore, whether it is martial arts or strange skills, they are actually declining. It’s just that the introduction to martial arts practice is simple and the base is huge, and it seems that the decline is not so fast.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he set up a list of recruitment to recruit sorcerers from all over the world. The original intention was to condense luck, but this group of sorcerers who were not doing their jobs did not come up with the way to condense luck, but he found out the clues of the decline of his practice.
Everything comes from the word "Yulu".
Why were wizards so powerful in ancient times? Because the ancient Miaojiang was powerful and had great luck, the upper limit of their top practitioners was high.
In order to rule the world, Qin Shihuang destroyed the Nine Cauldrons, and the fortune on earth was lost. Although he used the imperial seal to condense his fortune, how could the fortune condensed be comparable to the fortune naturally born in heaven and earth? Therefore, since Qin, the fortune on heaven and earth began to decline.
Qin Shihuang wanted to use the imperial seal to condense his luck and control the top practitioners in the world. But he ignored one problem that the imperial seal is not something that ordinary people can use. If he is not strong enough, forcibly using the imperial seal will inevitably be backfired by luck.
Therefore, after the death of Qin Shihuang, Qin II was bewitched by Zhao Gao, the Yin-Yang family, forcibly used the imperial seal, and was backfired and Qin II died.
Since then, most emperors have actually been "collecting" the imperial seals, and by conquering cities and territories, they have allowed the imperial seals to condense their luck by themselves. However, in this way, they will lose their luck by losing land, losing the people's hearts. Simply put, the imperial seals have become a "container", and their real functions cannot be reflected.
But it is not without benefits. When the national seal is passed down and the country is strong, more luck will be condensed. When the luck is condensed, more top practitioners in this dynasty will be concentrated.
According to the calculations of the Imperial Heaven Supervision, if the Tang Dynasty could obtain the imperial seal, at least ten more martial arts masters and one god-refining master would be added within fifty years.
This is not the whole benefit. If the luck of the Tang Dynasty is condensed to a certain level, the upper limit of the magic practitioners will be broken. For example, the formation masters of the Imperial Heaven Supervision now have only the size of a palm, and they can only pass notes. However, in ancient times, this can transmit the army. If the luck of the Tang Dynasty reaches a certain level, even if they cannot restore the ancient times, teleporting something slightly larger will be much more practical.
Of course, this is based on the premise that practitioners of extraordinary arts surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
No one understands the various benefits brought by the imperial seal than the sorcerers of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, so when they get the news, they are ecstatic and shout that God blesses the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the benefits to them are also very great.
If you can use the imperial seal...
I dare not think, I dare not think!
That is the only emperor with a strong life that can suppress the imperial seal?
Although the current emperor Li Shimin already has the image of a wise ruler, if he said he would surpass Qin Emperor and Han Wu, he would still be a little bit lacking and dare not have hope.
This is what the sorcerers think, but Li Shimin doesn't think so.
He also wants to give it a try!
He was wrongly appointed and criticized by the world, especially the gentry of the five surnames and seven sects, who claimed that he would not marry the royal family, which was a great humiliation.
But if he could use the imperial seal, it would mean that it was God's will to be the emperor, which was enough to block the public. Moreover, if he could use the imperial seal, the gentry in the world would not dare to return home.
Luck and general trend.
