Can you live forever

Chapter 198 The common people's burden, Chixiao's power
It seemed that the realgar was drunk and the green snake was chaotic. Zhang Zhixiang had golden arcs shining all over his body, and with a talisman under his feet, he flashed behind the green snake in an instant with the escape method. He turned around and slashed down with his sword. , vowed to behead the green snake.

however.

It was true that the green snake couldn't turn around flexibly to deal with it, but Xu Jie was able to move. He turned around immediately and swung a sword aura that was no weaker than Zhang Zhixiang's, fighting him head-on.

The strength of Nanjing Qiyun will never be weaker than that of the disadvantaged!
Zhang Zhixiang couldn't see who the shadow was, but in the black smoke, those eyes were like scarlet flames, and his fighting spirit was very high...

however.

Zhang Zhixiang didn't come down the mountain just now, he has also accumulated a lot of combat experience after going through the martial arts conference. A real confrontation is not just a matter of strength.

"Hang position!"

As soon as Zhang Zhixiang yelled, Sun Xuanqing understood what he meant, and activated the talisman. Zhang Zhixiang used the flexibility of the escape method to hack and attack the snake continuously, pulling out a rain of blood.

The green snake was in pain, and even the body around Yangzhou City loosened, and the raised Yangzhou City suddenly sank.

But soon it regained its high position, the land was connected to the city, and the soil clods were more and more cracked. The green snake ignored Zhang Zhixiang's attack and tried to uproot Yangzhou city.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixiang didn't confront him head-on, Xu Jie swung his sword directly into the city.

This time Zhang Zhixiang didn't have time to stop him. Watching the sword energy blast towards the city, at least hundreds of people were probably killed or injured. It was Wu Shouyang who slapped the gourd, and a flying sword shot out, and the one who came later broke the sword energy first.

Wu Shouyang is a Quanzhen Taoist, he learned Zhong Lu Dan's method, he took Lu Zu as his ancestor, and he has a flying sword to guard him.

As the eighth generation grand master of Quanzhen Longmen, Wu Shouyang is a Nascent Soul cultivator.

As soon as the flying sword came out, Xu Jie's pressure increased sharply. While facing Zhang Zhixiang's slashing, he had to beware of the flying sword.

Seeing that the ordinary confrontation had fallen into decline, Xu Jie suddenly grew six more arms.

The Green Snake is transformed by Nanjing's luck, but unlike these, he still has his true energy. Zhang Zhixiang's true energy recovers quickly, so he has such power when he fights. Even though Wu Shouyang is in the Nascent Soul Realm, he has not opened up Ren Du's second channel As long as the battle becomes fierce, Wu Shouyang will become a useless person when his true energy is exhausted.

Although Sun Xuanqing was extremely flexible, he always had to attack him, but he was under pressure and couldn't fully support Zhang Zhixiang and Wu Shouyang.

one more.

Attacking the people in Yangzhou City is indeed what must be saved when attacking the enemy. He wants to see if Zhang Zhixiang will sacrifice his life for the people!

The green snake ignored Zhang Zhixiang's attack at all, even if Zhang Zhixiang slashed its huge body, it wouldn't take half a stick of incense to cut it off!

The mouth of the snake opened, as huge as swallowing the sky.

The green light condensed in the giant mouth, and the dense poisonous gas had already overflowed, and it turned out that it wanted to poison and kill the people in the city!

Seeing this, Zhang Zhixiang and Wu Shouyang's expressions immediately changed, and even Jiajing, who was climbing the ladder, was ready to fight with his sword.

however.

Before they could do anything, the white snake wandering between the clouds and water suddenly jumped out, and with a lightning strike, the white snake appeared in the sky above Yangzhou, a scale on its forehead shone with a silvery white light, and the snake breathed out a letter. Words come out, like a heavenly constitution!

"Kneel down!!"

The white snake was condescending, issuing orders like a god, and the invisible pressure was exerted on everyone in an instant. Most of the people were directly bent and knelt on the ground, and it was difficult to breathe.

The white snake, which represents the gentry's etiquette, exerts its unique power.

Even the Buddha Dharma image in the sky was dimmed and flickered by this power. Wu Shouyang's flying sword over there instantly became slow and stagnant as if stuck in a quagmire, and even Zhang Zhixiang's movements became muddy.

The endless high pressure seemed to double the gravity many times at once.

When you are standing, it is oppressing you all the time. Only when you kneel down, will you feel a little easier.

Jiajing climbed the ladder, and there was a pressure on his shoulders every time he climbed a step. At this moment, the pressure suddenly doubled. He had only climbed a third of the way, and he couldn't lift his knees.

This heavenly ladder represents the common people who are burdened by the emperor, and he has the right to sacrifice to heaven only when he walks to the altar of heaven.

The white snake, which represents the gentry's ethics, is also imposed on Jiajing like the resistance of the world. For the common people, this is an oppression that has lasted for thousands of years, and it is more breathless oppression than the rule of the clan.

Will it be fairer as the times develop and productivity improves?
the answer is negative.

The stronger the technology, the stronger the ruling class's control over the world, which means that the upper limit of what can be squeezed is getting higher and higher...

Modern people always think that modern civilization is advanced compared to the ancients.

The freedom, equality, and dignity of modern people were not available in ancient times, but they never thought that these things were not brought about by technological progress, but by those great revolutionaries who brought them to people.

If not for those revolutionaries.

According to the greed of capital, the cyberpunk world will come soon, and you will live in a world where you sell your blood, organs, memory, and personality. For a piece of bread, you even have to sell your soul in order to survive.

People will be trampled into hell and be bitten by thousands of ghosts.

The more advanced the technology, the more advanced the society, the more powerful the new ruling class will be than before. If the powerful families only monopolize knowledge, then the gentry have already begun to control their thoughts...

The number of nobles in a powerful family is limited.

And the gentry is a super huge group...

This oppression made the emperor a little suffocated, because every step on this ladder represented a burden for all the people in the world. Before the white snake exerted pressure, he was still able to take the pressure on the people calmly.

But when the White Snake exerted pressure, he was forced to bend his waist, the mountain-like weight made him unable to breathe.

"Do my people live in such a fiery world?"

Beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, Jiajing raised his head stubbornly, and looked at the green snake that was about to spew venom over there. He watched Zhang Zhixiang standing in front of the green snake without hesitation, wanting to face the venom directly.

He smiled and completely handed over his back to Zhang Zhixiang, while he continued to lift his feet and climb upwards.

"I don't know what kind of awareness I need to bear this pressure, but I will never stop. I am not as good as Taizu, but I have advantages that Taizu did not have."

"Taizu is alone, and I have a national teacher to help me."

"500 years from now, before that sun rises, I want you to remember my name."

"Da Mingzi, Zhu! Hou! Huo!"

Jiajing roared as he climbed the steps, the veins on his forehead popped out, obviously the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, but his speed was getting faster and faster, he roared, roared, and ran.

The golden brilliance on his body became more and more dazzling. In the city of Yangzhou, as well as the land of Kyushu outside the barrier, golden light particles came from the bodies of countless living people.

He rushed to the highest altar of heaven like a ball of fire.

On Chi Xiao's sword body, a crimson flame was burning, and that crimson color colored the sky...
