Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 166: Using Great Wisdom to Practice Foolishness
Tian He is an old man who is tall and majestic, but has a gentle and elegant temperament.

Judging from appearance alone, he is not as intimidating as the three nobles of Jin, Zhao, Wei and Han, who do not possess the kind of majesty that makes people afraid just by looking at him.

But no matter what, the State of Jin still needed three families to divide it, but the State of Qi was left with only the Tian family. This already shows the abilities of the successive heads of the Tian family.

However, it was precisely because of the regency of the Tian family that the State of Qi did not participate in the struggle for hegemony among the princes for nearly two hundred years, because once a struggle for hegemony occurred, it would be necessary to send troops, and once troops were sent, a Shangqing family would be in charge of the troops, and having military power would be a great threat to the Tian family.

Unless the person in charge of the army is from their family.

During the period when Tian He served as Prime Minister of Qi, Qi miraculously did not fight with any major power. Even the Yue State in the south repeatedly provoked it, Qi tolerated it again and again. To be honest, Qi was actually much stronger than Yue.

"Grandfather?"

On the way to the palace, Yu Ji was attracted by this name: "I know the ancestor of the Qi State, Taigong Wang, who is the disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. Oh, Yuanshi Tianzun is the leader of the Chan Sect. He was very dissatisfied with the leader of the Jie Sect for inviting me."

"I've heard you say that." Su Kai nodded. "You were afraid that Yuanshi Tianzun would be true to you, so you ran away to the southern barbarian land that had nothing to do with the killing calamity of the gods and hid there for hundreds of years, right?"

After all, the killing disaster by the gods happened at the end of the Shang Dynasty. At that time, the territory of the Shang Dynasty was just a small area in the Central Plains. When Yu Ji ran to the southern barbarian land, there were still dozens of barbarians from different tribes.

The immortals from the two major sects started fighting in the Central Plains. The battle was so fierce that it was dark and chaotic. They even recruited people from the ancient timeline to start the fight. The intensity of the war was so high.

It is understandable that Yu Ji, a lazy fairy who always gives up every day, is afraid of a battle of this intensity.

“Yeah, yeah… bullshit!” The pure and refined beauty almost turned into an irritable old Yu again. She endured it again and again and finally managed to hold it back: “I’m not afraid of Yuanshi Tianzun. In terms of age, he hasn’t lived as long as me!”

This is true. There are only a few immortals who can compare with her in terms of qualifications. The only thing that stands out about Yu Meiren is that she can live longer by playing badly.

I was the witness when Pangu created the world, and I was the one who handed over the soil to Nuwa when she created humans.

Su Kai nodded again: "Yes, yes, you are right, but A Yu, I have to remind you that even if Yuan Shi Tian Zun ascends to heaven, an ancient immortal of his level can still interfere in the human world."

There are many gods, Buddhas and demons that can interfere with the earth's interior from outside the world, but most of them are not as strong as the pigeon, who can determine the direction of human history by himself.

But even so, it's okay to put your hand in briefly and squeeze it.

For example, Odin, the Norse God King, once interfered in the human world.

"...The leader of the Chan sect is not that petty!" Yu Ji's voice dropped several notes, and her confidence was obviously lacking. In fact, there is one thing that all the immortals know, and that is that the old man Tianzun is petty.

"Okay, okay, go on." Su Kai discovered that this hot-tempered Salted Fish Fairy actually understood the ways of the world and changed her words very quickly.

"In fact, I was able to avoid the immortals' killing calamity thanks to Tai Gong Wang's reminder." Yu Ji's eyes were filled with reminiscence: "At the beginning, he came to me and said that my origins were extraordinary. If I joined the Chan Sect, I would be treated like one of the Twelve Golden Immortals."

"But I thought he was trying to trick me into being a cannon fodder, so I found an excuse and ran away."

"...I think you have wronged Tai Gong Wang." Su Kai shook his head: "Even if he lied to you, he would not use Yuanshi Tianzun as an excuse to lie to you, so it is enough to prove that this is true."

"Wonderful, the leaders of Jiejiao and Xianjiao are both eager to accept you as their apprentice."

Su Kai looked Yu Meiren up and down and found that apart from her pretty face, she looked silly and cute. He couldn't tell what the two great sect leaders saw in her.

"Don't be so amazing. It's just that no one in this era can compare to you."

After Yu Ji recalled the past, she felt very relaxed. She stretched and said, "If there is another monster with conflicting ideas but similar abilities to yours, I will run as far away as I can. If that doesn't work, I will run to the deserted island in the east."

"Seeking benefits and avoiding harm, your mentality is not good enough! How can you shed your real body and become an immortal?"

Saying that Yu Ji is an immortal is actually Su Kai flattering her. Only if she has solved her blood-sucking urge is she an immortal, and if she hasn't solved it, she is a real person.

Although there is no essential difference in strength, it involves whether the life form itself is "perfect".

Su Kai was speechless and said, "I have lived less than a fraction of your age. Even if you lose your temper and fight hard, it is hard to say whether I can beat you... Are you afraid of chicken feathers?"

Damn it, even he couldn’t remain elegant when talking to such a bug!

The irritable Old Yu didn't know what the elegance of a fairy was. She also said in a sweet voice, "Damn it, old lion, you don't think I was scared, do you? Can you beat me? You don't have the final say, only my words count!"

The two of them exchanged ancient secrets in a friendly manner along the way, and soon they arrived in front of Tian He.

Before Su Kai stepped into the house, he heard hurried footsteps, and then saw Tian He running out of the house, even his clothes were a little messy. When he saw Su Kai, he bowed and said, "I greet Su Zi."

You are a widow too.

The Zhou royal family had just driven away Duke Kang of Qi, and had not yet surrendered, but they were already impatient to declare themselves the sole ruler.

But it is understandable. Tian He only has a few years left to live, and usurping the throne and replacing Qi is the career of several generations of the Tian family. It is understandable that he wants to fulfill his wish before his death.

Su Kai was not at all concerned about Tian's usurpation of the throne. He thought it was just a small episode in human history, an insignificant ripple.

Looking at the entire human history, there are countless such events of the rise and fall, birth and death of many countries and civilizations in the East and the West, because this is the desire for power that human beings themselves crave, and it is the need for respect second only to the need for self-realization.

The dopamine secreted by dominating others is even several times that of reproduction. This is a poison that humans cannot get rid of.

"Greetings, Mr. Qi." Su Kai also returned the greeting.

This made Tian Hezheng very excited. He was the first scholar to agree that the Tian family should replace Qi, even though this position had a bad reputation.

However, no matter how bad they are, sages are still sages. If a philosopher says that the ruler of a country is foolish and unjust, then that country will be brought into disgrace. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the philosophers had such great prestige and influence.

Tian He hurriedly bowed and walked over.

"Please ask Su Zi to help me govern the country. I am willing to pay him homage as the Prime Minister of Qi."

Here comes one of the most solemn ceremonies during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period: appointing a prime minister.

You need to pay homage to the ministers and chancellors, or in other words, you need to invite and pay homage to any talented person in order to get them to stay in your country and help you do things.

"Except Zibo, Su Zi can choose a city as his fiefdom, and I will grant your permission."

Tian He gave his chips and looked at Su Kai expectantly, wanting to use Su Kai's reputation to endorse Tian's.

Su Kai shook his head and refused, "Please do not perform such a great honor, Lord Qi. I am still in the stage of study, an apprentice with shallow moral character. I do not have the ability to serve as a prime minister of a country. Lord Qi, please find someone else."

"..."

This is being polite. Even if you want to refuse, you have to humble yourself first. After all, others are giving you so much face and bowing to you completely. You can't say anything too unpleasant when you refuse, right?

"Su Zi is unwilling, and I know Su Zi's difficulties. It is my fault that this matter has been abandoned."

Tian He shook his head and stopped talking about it. He invited Su Kai in, and after they sat down, he asked, "Did Su Kai ever hear of the prophecy of my Tian family?"

"I've heard of it." Su Kai nodded and said, "It's much better than Zhao's stupid orphan story. Tian's methods are indeed better than the three nobles of Jin."

The so-called Orphan of Zhao is a cliché story about a treacherous minister in the State of Jin named Tu'an Jia, who bewitched the King of Jin into killing Zhao Dun, the prime minister of Jin, and thus exterminated the entire Zhao family. Then, Cheng Ying, a retainer of the Zhao family, replaced the Zhao family with his own son to save his life, and the Zhao family grew up to take revenge.

In fact, it was Zhao Dun who murdered the king, and was retaliated by the king of Jin. However, Zhao Wu was indeed the nephew of Jin Jinggong, so he survived and was taken in by the Han family. When he grew up, Jin Jinggong returned the Zhao family's fiefdom to Zhao Wu.

All I can say is that Duke Jing of Jin was indeed a kind man, but unfortunately he had a bad life.

Tian He smiled and said, "I can't hide it from Su Zi, but I can hide it from Qi people. The Tian family's business has been going on for nine generations, and I just finished it. I wonder what Su Zi thinks?"

This is an examination of ideology. Although Su Kai did not serve in the State of Qi, we still need to ask him about his views on Tian's replacement of Qi.

"It's not that great. The method is indeed clever, but it takes too much time."

Su Kai shook his head and said, "In fact, if you usurp the throne, you will not have a good reputation no matter what. If you are ready, just do it. For example, your grandfather's generation was actually ripe, and the Tian family wasted several generations' time."

"In this regard, the Tian family is not as decisive as the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han."

Even though Tian repeatedly used fighting techniques, and even opened up the harem to give birth to a large number of collateral relatives who were not of Tian's bloodline to help Tian, ​​these were actually low-level methods.

Those who want to steal a country should be like the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han, who became familiar with the task within one or two generations.

"...Just, only this?" Tian He was astonished. Shouldn't you stand on the moral high ground and accuse me and the Tian family of using dirty means and being villains who steal the country?

"Anything else?" Su Kai was a little confused. He had been praised and criticized, so what else could he say?
"Hahaha, Suzi..."

Tian He laughed out loud, his voice was indescribably happy. He bowed solemnly again and said, "Tian Qi will always welcome Su Zi. If Su Zi is interested in serving as an official one day, please make sure to choose Qi first."

"My condition will not change. Even after I die, I will leave this message to my descendants."

"Let's talk about it later, Lord Qi. My own career is not yet completed." Su Kai would never serve in any country. He had long been tired of the endless struggle of human desires.

Yes, he agreed that Tian's replacement of Qi was just a trivial episode in human history, a commonplace power struggle, and an inseparable nature of human beings.

But this does not conflict with Su Kai's disgust with this matter. He has long been tired of the endless political struggles to quell the open and secret struggles between various factions.

Indeed, if Su Kai succeeded in becoming prime minister and being enfeoffed in Qi, he would be able to quell all internal and external troubles in Qi within ten years, and he could even accomplish the cause of unifying China from east to west in his own generation.

However, Su Kai was not willing to intervene because it was meaningless.

Simple force cannot suppress the resistance in the hearts of people. Even Qin Shihuang, who truly pacified the six kingdoms, sent all the prisoners of war to build wonders until they died. In order to suppress the vitality of the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang probably did not expect that his death would lead to rebellion by the whole world. The foundation of the Qin Kingdom was only passed down for two generations.

Su Kai didn't want to do such a tiring job. Emperor Surlun was just a golden dream after all.

After finishing the business, Tian He's expression became more and more relaxed. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Su Zi, there is one thing I don't understand."

"Mr. Qi, please speak." Su Kai gestured with his hand.

Tian He then asked: "Where does Su Zi's almost indulgent love for the barbarians come from? I heard that even when your country was destroyed, you never felt resentment towards the barbarians?"

Otherwise, he would be a child. If he were ten or twenty years younger, he would definitely be more stable and would never ask such a question.

Yu Ji raised her eyebrows. She never liked talking to these villains who were born and died in a day and could cause dozens of generations to die in a sleep, because no matter how many people she had connections with, it would be meaningless in the end.

But when she heard Tian He's words, she couldn't help but feel angry.

This discovery surprised Yu Meiren, who had always been a lazy person. She herself couldn't understand why her usually indifferent and peaceful heart was disturbed when she heard Tian He ask Su Kai a mocking question.

But this slight fluctuation soon disappeared. Yu Meiren pondered for a moment, but ultimately could not figure it out, so she put it aside.

The immortal species have always been like this. Because time is almost eternal, they are insensitive to changes in everything around them. They believe that they will figure it out sooner or later, so there is no need to be too serious.

"Because I was born this way."

Su Kai said calmly: "I love humans, all humans, but my love is too indulgent. When it is shared among individuals, it seems a little... incomprehensible?"

"But in fact, my love is genuine, it's just that humans don't understand it."

Because Su Kai does not look at the barbarians from the perspective of this era.

He looks at all humanoid creatures and all intelligent life forms from the perspective of the future of China and the future of human history.

However, future vision is rare even among immortals. How can these mortals, whose lifespan is no more than a hundred years, understand Su Kai's vision?

Therefore, in their eyes, Su Kai is twisted, stupid, and unreasonable...

"Mr. Qi, you don't understand either, right?" Su Kai smiled gently, "It's understandable that you don't understand, but what does it have to do with you if I destroy you?"

"I love humans, so why do I need their understanding? I always have my own way, don't I?"

"Su Zi's love is great, and I admire it."

Hearing Su Kai's answer, Tian He's expression remained unchanged. He just stroked his forehead and said, "I am old and weak, and I am exhausted. I will leave now. Su Zi, please do as you please."

After leaving Su Kai's place, Tian He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. As an old and experienced guy like him, he had seen countless people in his life, so naturally he could see through Su Kai's almost inhuman behavior.

"Why did I invite such a person here on a whim?" Tian He was a little annoyed. "I don't know when this madman will leave Qi. I have to write an ancestral precept to remind future generations to be careful of this madman."

Inside the palace, Yu Ji raised her eyebrows, her whole face filled with displeasure, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Su Zi, that villain talked about you behind your back and said that you are a lunatic."

"Fortunately, I thought he would bring troops to capture me."

Su Kai said calmly, "But he should have known about the Yue Kingdom and Huaiyi. He probably knew he couldn't afford to offend me, so he acted like a plague to me."

"Ayu, what do you think Qi Jun will do next?"

"..." Yu Meiren held her chin with her white hands, and after thinking hard for a while, she said, "This villain wants to chase us away now, right? Then he will definitely chase us away next!"

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to chase us away. If he doesn't know what's best for him, my sea of ​​blood will eat up the whole city."

Yu Ji's face was startled and her expression was full of anger, but she spoke very seriously.

"Forget it, you said yourself that you don't like eating people, have you forgotten?" Su Kai shook his head helplessly and said, "Besides, Tian He will definitely not chase us away, he is not a fool like you."

"Just wait and see. Not only will Tian He not chase us away, but he will also entertain us."

"This is the method used by humans. Physical annihilation is always the final killer move. Who would start the game with four twos and two kings?"

Unless we are ignorant.

Su Kai chuckled. Although he was smiling, there was no warmth in his eyes. He stood up and said, "Let's go. The host doesn't welcome you. There's no need to stay here."
-
After leaving Qi, Su Kai began to head west, preparing to cross the Three Jins and go to Qin, and by the way, take a look at the Migu fox.

But at this moment, Yu Meiren seemed to have figured something out. She said with sudden enlightenment: "Hey, Su Zi, I suddenly realized that you seem to be very similar to Chi You. You don't care about other people's attitude. My good and evil are good and evil, and other people's good and evil have nothing to do with me..."

"I used to think you were like Huangdi, but now it seems that Huangdi is not like you, asking others to do this and that. He just shows his abilities and teaches others what they want to learn."

"...Ha~" Su Kai really laughed out loud this time: "Ayu, isn't your reaction time a little too long?"

"It's just one question, but you actually thought about it for so long?"

But even so, Su Kai still treated his not-so-smart little immortal apprentice very seriously. He first said, "Ayu, have you ever heard that the Dharma is not easily passed on, the Tao is not sold cheaply, the doctor does not knock on the door, and the teacher does not pass by?"

“The real good skills are those that others are eager to ask for and praise, and then you will pass them on to others, because in this way, those who seek skills will cherish the skills they have learned with great difficulty, and of course, they will study harder and more attentively.”

"...Really? 0.o" Yu Ji tilted her head, her face full of confusion. Only then did Su Kai realize that this salted fish immortal was really the guy that his master had found to be his disciple.

Damn it, how good is your talent, or what is the quality in you that attracted those two great sect leaders? Why didn’t I notice it?
"...In short, Huangdi's actions proved that he was indeed well versed in human nature."

Su Kai pointed at himself and said, "Actually, what I am like is abnormal. I just give all my knowledge and skills to anyone at will, which is actually a kind of disrespect for knowledge."

"But it doesn't matter, does it?"

It doesn't matter at all!

How could Su Kai be someone who was bound by such dogma?
Su Kai didn't care about rules, human nature or any other mess.

He is now like a chef who is waiting for delicious food, stuffing everything he has into humans all at once, regardless of whether humans at this stage and the public wisdom at this stage can accept it.

Even though he knew clearly that in this era, only the nobles were literate, there were huge generation gaps and natural chasms between the Chinese and the barbarians, between the Chinese and the savages, and between the civilians and the slaves, and that mankind would never be truly united.

Just like the legendary Tower of Babel, which was built by the concerted efforts of all mankind and was comparable to God, it is ultimately just a myth.

Even if humans mastered the power of magic and technologies beyond this era, they would only use them to kill each other, and would not use them to reform and develop productivity and liberate all mankind...

He knew it all, he had always known it all.

But Su Kai is still trying all possibilities.

Even if he is a very wise person who can see the big picture of many things and know whether they are feasible, he will still be like a blind and foolish fool and continue to practice foolish things that are denied by reason and wisdom.

Because Su Kai believes that he cannot make decisions on behalf of all mankind, whether mankind is really beyond help is not something he can conclude by simply simulating it in his mind.

You have to see it with your own eyes and make the final judgment, right?
"Hey, teacher, I always thought I was crazy, but now it seems that you are crazy, right?"

Yu Meiren held her chin with one hand, looked at Su Kai and murmured like a dream: "You are a person who is more decisive than Huangdi, but your ideas are more childish and ridiculous than Chiyou. But it is terrifying to think about it carefully. It's really strange..."

"Is there someone who possesses the characteristics of both of those guys?"

“Perhaps all idealists are like this, right?”

Su Kai smiled and didn't take Yu Meiren's idle chat seriously.

Judging from the fact that Chiyou cursed the people of the world to hate civilization and knowledge, this Lord of War was not an easy immortal to deal with.

Could it be that Yu Meiren was frightened by his twisted and crazy side and mistook Chi You, the most terrifying monster she had ever known, for Su Kai?
"Let's go, Ayu, we're about to arrive in Xinzheng. This is my second time in this city."

Su Kai skipped this topic and looked up at the energy in the distance.
