Regenerate into soil, master life and death at the beginning

"The loss of mortal energy can affect a person's enthusiasm for participating in social activities and make him lose enthusiasm for interpersonal communication, but it will not fundamentally change a person's character. With the recovery of mortal energy, what kind of Still what.

However, if I drain it all at once, making the recovery time longer or even impossible to recover, will the long-term changes reshape people's xinxing?

Or repeatedly harvest until there is only a little stubble left, let it go back and forth between the two extremes, ups and downs, how many times can you persist with the mind of an ordinary person?

......"

Thoughts floated in Jiang Gan's mind, but he didn't intend to really try it. Even Guo Zhen's behavior as if he had been possessed by an overdose last time was due to an accident.

If this weird phenomenon happens only once, it can still be made up by human brains. If it happens frequently and repeatedly, whether it happens on Guo Zhen alone or on different people, it is enough to remind people of some weird horror. It doesn't violate the peace at all to further connect with this world.

Therefore, this kind of deep extraction, only once is enough.

However, it is impossible for him to give up harvesting the mortal energy because of this.

Since the depth extraction is not suitable, it should be shallower, and then shallower.

Afterwards, Jiang Gan carefully harvested three more times on Guo Zhen, and finally found an optimal harvest ratio, [-]% to [-]%. He only harvested [-]% and left [-]% to the parties.

Guo Zhen, who was stuck at this point, had almost no change in appearance, and his desire to provoke Tong Ziyi was still strong. The only thing that changed was the reduction in the frequency of attacks. Not to mention that the onlookers would not have any doubts, and they could feel the rapid pace of the attack. The time-slow colleague Ziyi will only further confirm the other party's insidiousness and cunning, and will not suspect others.

This level of harvesting can be said to be flawless.

Moreover, because it is not damaged at all, the recovery speed is also very fast, and it only takes three days to fully recover.

After the experiment on individuals, Jiang Gan experimented with harvesting the entire area with a more cautious attitude-of course he would not be satisfied with just using a knife on one leek, of course the entire leek field must be taken care of .

Finally, Jiang Gan got the answer after ensuring that all the ordinary people here behaved without abnormalities.

"If you take the whole red dust in the area as the harvest target, you can only harvest [-]% at a time, and the recovery is also very slow, it will take a full month."

However, even so, the benefits are better than just catching a sheep.

Moreover, harvesting once a month saves time and effort compared to using a knife every other day. He already had a premonition that this kind of harvesting would be a long-term action, and he had to harvest a large amount of red dust to make quantitative changes and qualitative changes.

Jiang Gan maintained the frequency of harvesting [-]% of the mortal gas every month. After so many times, he discovered a wonderful side effect.

"Unexpectedly, they have become more united and law-abiding!"

Originally, since the two practitioners Qinghe and Qingyu left, the entire settlement seemed to have been taken away from the backbone. It was the limit of Tong Ziyi's ability to maintain the overall situation without dispersing or collapsing. Sheng Sheng's heart was gradually loosening, and he was powerless.

But as Jiang Gan harvests 800% of the red dust every month, although people's behavior and temperament are still the same, if you look at the whole, you will be surprised to find that more than [-] ordinary people are huddled together, and no one wants to go alone , It seems that the irreversible trend of sliding to the cliff has actually stopped, and it has maintained a state of "although there are many internal discords, they are still trying to maintain this whole".

"What is this, excess mortal energy?

Or is there too much social enthusiasm, and you can't find a suitable channel to vent, so you can only exert your strength inward, which may even lead to self-destruction in the end? ! "

Inexplicably, Jiang Gan thought of a horned animal. They have a very strange way of death, being stabbed to death by their own horns that are getting longer and longer.

"So, I am saving them instead!"

Therefore, people are like leeks, you can’t do without cutting them. This is a good way to maintain vitality!

"It's actually a win-win situation." Jiang Gan was full of emotion.

Chapter 27 A New Interpretation of the Chaos Cycle

In the past, Jiang Gan went from being a little resistant to accepting these ordinary people living in the area, and in the end he completely adapted to the life with them. At least, facing them is better than facing the leeks and insect colonies. Much more interesting.

He can also learn about the wider world beyond his own region by "reading" their shallow minds.

But after all, he still positions himself from the perspective of an outsider, who has nothing to do with their prosperity and decline, joy and sorrow.

But now, he looks at this mortal settlement with the mentality of a farmer looking at the leeks in his field.

In the past, he didn't care about seeing all the common people working together to build a new home.

When the new home was completed and all ordinary people really had the consciousness of "taking root here", labor was no longer just for three meals a day, and thoughts became more and more complicated. Waiting, intrigue... The individual people who got together by chance, intertwined with each other, evolved into a specific and small society, and he, who was watching, also felt indifferent.

When the two practitioners left, the small society of ordinary people who had become accustomed to living under their protection was like a flower in a greenhouse, suddenly placed in the wilderness, facing the wild world full of dangers alone, hesitant, at a loss, Frightened... He still felt that it didn't matter.

Seeing Tong Ziyi's near-perfect performance when he was backed by a practitioner, he soon exposed the upper limit of his mind and ability when the practitioner left. Coupled with the changes in the mentality of every ordinary person, the challenger became more and more blatant, He almost didn't care about saying "we need to re-elect a leader".

It's like watching a live broadcast without a script, watching it twice when it's exciting, and watching it less when it's boring.

Or take a look at the trivial family life of ordinary people, the short stories of parents, or the "village version of political struggle" around the two characters of Tong Ziyi and Guo Zhen, or experience the daily grinding of warriors in an immersive way, even carpenters, stonemasons, Immersive experiences in junior life occupations such as farmers, chefs, tailors...etc.

That's all, that's all.

But now, it is difficult for him to be "indifferent".

Behind almost all the "wonderful things", there are hidden dangers that will reduce or even eliminate the harvest of this "leek field".

So, I have to do something. Since I consider myself a farmer, besides cutting leeks, weeding and repelling insects, watering and fertilizing, ensuring that the entire vegetable field is thriving and avoiding withering and death, these are all responsibilities. , other things don't matter.

However, he also drew a clear bottom line in his heart. In any case, he must not expose himself. Even "mystery and weirdness in this area" must be avoided as much as possible. His "management" must be presented in the eyes of the outside world. It is reasonable and worthy of scrutiny and research.

He warned himself in his heart: "Don't take any chances. Any action that may lead to my own exposure, no matter how small the chance, will become inevitable as long as the time scale is long enough."

With that in mind, he targeted Guo Zhen and conducted a series of new experiments.

Before the consciousness came into contact with Guo Zhenshen and Zhou Hongchen, he only repeatedly strengthened one thought: "Don't absorb it, don't absorb it..."

Consciousness will automatically swallow and absorb when it comes into contact with the red dust. If this pure instinctive behavior cannot be turned into a more active control, it will be the biggest obstacle for him to actively participate in the management of this "field" in the future.

But he wasn't too worried about this. According to past experience, as long as his thoughts were clear enough, this level of self-control was achievable.

Sure enough, this time when his consciousness came into contact with Guo Zhenshen's Zhou Hongchen Qi again, he didn't swallow and absorb it directly, but just like contacting the two Qi of life and death alone, the Hongchen Qi can be manipulated freely according to his consciousness.

……

"So, the first step, where should I find the entry point?"

Jiang Gan was thinking in his heart, while his "eyes" went back and forth on more than 800 ordinary people, not only watching their actions, but also carefully "reading" those hidden in their hearts, which they never told, but also every day. My truest heart.

In the past, although he often did this kind of thing, he either used it as a window to "peek" at the outside world, or he just wanted to flip through some exciting enough "repertoires", just like holding a remote control board to keep watching. Changing channels, he didn't care too much about the content of those "programs" that he quickly skipped.

Now, it is the first time that he looks at these more than 800 brains with a research attitude.

Although he can only read superficial thoughts, the most active thoughts in the other party's mind are enough for him to recognize the real situation.

And the more he flipped through it, the heavier Jiang Gan felt, but he gradually came to a realization.

"Is this another form of bad money driving out good money?"

The situation is deteriorating, not only all adults know it well, even those underage children know it clearly.

In this situation, the differences between people are more thoroughly exposed.

Some people are passively waiting for the evil consequences to appear.

Some are deceiving themselves and others, paralyzing themselves, pretending that everything is normal and nothing bad happened, so they really drift with the crowd with peace of mind.

Some know that the crisis is ahead, which is a great danger that can swallow them all, and even want to do something to avoid this situation, but because they think too much and have too many scruples, it is reflected in their actions , On the contrary, it seems clumsy and not firm enough.

Among them, there is another category. They also see the crisis, but they have no idea from the bottom of their hearts to drag everyone out of danger together. "I have nothing to do with other people's lives, as long as I can escape from danger." This is their creed. .

It is this kind of people who have the most precise intentions and the most resolute actions!

They are the most active, the most eager to participate in social activities, and the mortal atmosphere around them is above the average level. The positions between Tong Ziyi, Guo Zhen and other ordinary people are almost completely occupied by people with this kind of thinking. How do Tong Ziyi and Guo Zhen think? Acting seems to be unimportant, because what is finally presented in the cognition of other mortals is the product after being distorted and filtered by this group.

Jiang Gan feels that this is somewhat similar to the cycle of chaos in the past dynasties.

Why is it that when the new dynasty is established and all industries are in decline, a rural mountain dweller who doesn't understand too much reason and experience can feel a kind of thriving and vigorous vitality?

Why is it that at the end of the dynasty, all you can see is beauty and prosperity, and you have never really seen darkness and filth, but you can feel a kind of deep corruption just by intuition, even if the overlord regenerates, there is no power to recover Fall?

Is it true that when people's hearts are up, everyone is a hero, and when the situation is difficult, everyone is a short-sighted silverfish?

It is generally believed that once this "big trend" is formed, it will be difficult to save the gods, unless the gods personally end regardless of their image.

"However, I can try."

When an inspiration appeared, Jiang Gan couldn't help but feel a little eager to try.

Chapter 28 A New Interpretation of the Chaos Cycle

Jiang Gan only did one very simple thing, that is, made a small adjustment and redistribution of the red dust lingering on the mortals.

He first looked at Tong Ziyi and Guo Zhen, and shook his head. These two are the core focus and the most attention-getting existence. It is absolutely unacceptable to behave in ways that do not conform to their "personality" at critical moments.

While secretly managing, what is more important is "to be logical and reasonable".

If only this method is available, then he would rather see this crop of leeks completely destroyed than make a move.

By the same token, those "bad money" groups that are currently active and responsible for at least half of the situation here can't make a big move, they can be weakened a little bit, but the "bad money people" must stand still.

Therefore, the most suitable for hands and feet are two groups.

One of the groups, upon closer examination, does not have exactly the same connotations, but if summed up simply, it is the "silent majority".

They are either weak in strength, weak in heart, or low in status, whether objective or subjective, they choose to wait passively, paralyze themselves, and act as if nothing happened and everything is fine.

Of course, this is the result of their appearance on the outside. Their inner emotions are intense and turbulent, not weaker than others, and their hearts are full of resentment and resentment.

But who cares.

Jiang Gan also didn't care.

He stripped off the mortal atmosphere around them little by little, and those who were resentful and unwilling gradually calmed down; those whose inner emotions were violent and turbulent, gradually became calm, as if they had a kind of indifference to the situation and life and death. Leisurely detachment.

Before, they chose not to do anything, but their hearts were still suffering. Now, they still did nothing, but their hearts were like Gujing Pinghu.

The outside and the inside are unified.

"This can be regarded as helping you to unite knowledge and action." Jiang Gan thought in his heart.

Jiang Gan didn't take the mortal energy stripped from the "silent majority", but injected it into another group.

Compared with the silent majority, the number of this group is not large.

Therefore, when the mortal energy concentrated on this small group of people, the mortal energy surrounding them suddenly became more than several times thicker.

In Jiang Gan's "horizon", before the injection of the red dust, this small group was scattered, sporadic, and not connected to each other, just like the little fireflies in the night sky far apart, or like isolated islands in the sea , They cannot break through the darkness, nor can they cross the sea.

But with the injection of this wave of rich red dust, the fireflies seem to become small lighthouses, which can see each other from a distance and find the same kind, and the isolated islands are likely to be connected into one piece.

This is a subtle change that only he can see. In the inhabited area, the night is quiet at this moment, and there is no difference.

……

He Tiezhu couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning. He lay on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at the dark roof, feeling extremely bored in his heart, so he simply turned over, picked up an iron-wood spear and strode out.

His mother had passed away when he could not remember anything, and he wandered around with his father, who was barely second-rate, but who wanted to do a big career and dreamed of great achievements since he was a child. When he was young, he stepped into this wilderness like a moth to a flame.
