Chapter 163 Conversation

After forty days of this trip, Ji Lin finally walked in front of one of the most powerful people in the world.

Master Gui Yu is a contemporary Mohist giant.

The old man is wearing a mysterious suit with classical and long tattoos, which is steady and peaceful.

He and Gui Yu walked into the room. Ji Lin quietly listened to Gui Yu narrate the story of their journey, from the abnormal phenomenon in the earth to the attack.

After the master and apprentice exchanged a few words, the old man asked Gui Yu to wait outside.

"Who are you?"

The old man sitting in the living room finally set his sights on Ji Lin. Even though Gui Yu had introduced Ji Lin's identity to him before, he still asked him this question when he was alone.

Who are you.

"A man who wanted to make the world a better place."

Ji Lin did not respond directly to the questions. There were too many questions that he could not answer. He only stated that his position was consistent with Gui Yu's.

He doesn't have much time to waste in this world, gain trust, complete tasks, and the slow progress step by step is too slow for him. Ji Lin's stay time was limited by the system, with a maximum of one hundred and twenty days, and more than twenty days had already been spent on this trip.

He didn't have time, and there wasn't much time in the world.

When Guiyu left, he started an open communication with the old man.

The old man just nodded and didn't ask more about this topic.

"What do you need?"

he asked.

His eyes were no longer gentle, but filled with scrutiny and questioning.

This was the first time that the old man saw his apprentice trust a man so much. He didn't want his apprentice to be deceived by others, but he also wanted to see how good this man was.

"I want people."

"I will transfer a hundred people to you."

"No, I want everyone's household registration. I want to select people myself. I want to select two hundred people."

Ji Lin looked directly into the old man's eyes. There was no ripple in the ancient well. After a long time, he could see a trace of ripple in it.

That's surprise.

"what are you up to?"

The old man finally asked solemnly, faintly smelling an unknown smell.

"Leave a batch of seeds for this world."

He shouldn't have said this, and he shouldn't have done this.

But Ji Lin knew that he didn't have much time left on this trip, and he was also the most suitable person to do this. He had already chosen his fulcrum, so he had to let time move the world.

One for the present and one for the future.

Sooner or later the seeds will germinate one day.

They talked about a lot, from the need to recruit children from the peasant class and poor backgrounds to the concept of political reliability. Not to mention people with noble and royal backgrounds, even if there was one person who sympathized with the nobles and royal families, it would have an impact on his plan.

He wanted mechanists, and he also wanted to find those Momen mechanists who had deep grudges against the nobles. The lack of technology and knowledge can be made up for by learning, while political unreliability requires bloody reality to make a person change his position.

Only by being pure can we continue.

Ji Lin knew that he was just a little bit more talkative in this regard.

Ji Lin also happens to be testing some of the systems he wants in this copy, and then the useful part of these experiences will be used in the territory. He is not a particularly powerful genius, and he is not a philosopher king when it comes to managing domestic affairs, but he has enough room for trial and error to bring the correct direction and policies back to his own territory.

The system provides them with a vast testing ground.

"You're forging a knife."

After the old man finished talking to him, he remained silent for a long time and took a sip of tea.

"Ley lines are human divisions, not natural."

Then he spoke slowly, as if he wanted to tell him, an outsider, the reality that everyone in the world knew and that no one was willing to face.

"Hebei Qing, Xuyang, Jingliang, Yongyu, there are nine states in the world, plus the thirty-one states expanded, there are more than 4,000 counties. The earth lines of this world are originally one, and the earth line towers and regions are just our divisions."

Everyone knows it.

It’s just that no one can see, or want to see, the elephant in the room.

The earth's veins in the world are originally one.

That means...

"Yes, that's possible."

The old man confirmed Ji Lin's conjecture, as if he told Ji Lin to know it.

A single detonation would destroy the world's leylines, as long as they could find the exact node.

The old man pointed out the important point.

"I shoulder the inheritance of the Moh family, and the burden is a bit heavy."

The old man smiled.

"The Mo family's organ skills relied on the earth's veins to prosper and develop, allowing the dynasty to reach an unprecedented prosperous age. The people once lived and worked in peace and contentment, and no one starved to death in the land of China. What a wonderful eight hundred years it was..."

Abandoning earth veins, the star vein technique and mechanism technique that they are proud of will never be able to regain their glory...maybe they will be lost. Whoever makes this decision will be the sinner of the Mo family and the biggest sinner of the Mo family. .

People can’t even see things ten years from now, so how can they talk about the future a thousand years from now.

Denying the earth line, all the brilliance that their entire dynasty has created in these one thousand and fifteen hundred years...

Castles in the air.

As long as the earth veins are still maintained, maybe they can wait for the earth veins to slowly recover. Everyone huddles in a few cities. When the earth veins in an area recover from drying up after hundreds of years, they can still obtain energy to replenish them. The class difference is like a ravine in the sky, and it is difficult to overstep it.

It has a very cyberpunk flavor, Ji Lin thought as he listened to the old man's words.

The price is that except for those cities, other places are no longer habitable and difficult to cultivate.

"They don't want to see such a world, take it."

The old man threw the token in his hand to Ji Lin, who took it, looked at the black token, and raised his head to ask.

"Why?"

The old man smiled, a smile from the bottom of his heart.

"I can see something in you that does not belong to... this era. Maybe you really have the potential to change everything."
