Chapter 558: Conversation with Lao Zhang

Ministry of Education.

This is Fang Ping's first visit to the Ministry of Education, one of the most core departments in Huaguo.

Three ministries and four governments, this is the core part of the Chinese government.

In the past, in Fang Ping's imagination, the Ministry of Education should be similar to the kind of agency in his previous life.

Fang Ping didn't know until he got to the Ministry of Education that it was different after all.

The people in the Ministry of Education were very busy, so busy that Fang Ping walked into the building, almost no one looked at him.

Similarly, here is also very fortified!

There are guards at the gate, not guards in military uniforms, but warrior guards wearing combat uniforms exclusive to the Ministry of Education. Four fourth-rank warriors guard the gate. This is considered a big deal!

These fourth-rank guards can be the admirals of any city without any problem.

Fang Ping came with old man Li. The guards checked the identities of the two of them, and they were serious. Fang Ping walked towards the interior and asked, "Teacher, the Ministry of Education...does it have its own combat organization?"

"certainly."

Old man Li said it as a matter of course, and said with a smile: "The three ministries and four prefectures all have their own combat organizations. Of course, the military department is the main battle, so in everyone's impression, only the military department is stationed in the crypt.

But you should know that the tutelary mansion has envoys stationed in the city. In fact, this is the foreign combat organization of the tutelary mansion.

The envoys stationed in the city are actually in charge of some warriors in the Catacombs, warriors from the tutelary mansion and the governor's mansion.

Of course, under normal circumstances, when fighting in the Catacombs, it is impossible for multiple parties to dominate, which would easily cause chaos. Therefore, people from the three divisions and four prefectures must obey the orders of the military department when they arrive in the Catacombs. "

"The central government..."

"The military department is the agency directly under the central government..."

Old man Li looked at Fang Ping with some surprise, and continued: "Generally, we equate the central government and the military department. Strictly speaking, there are three departments and four government departments, and the military department is half a level higher.

The military department has the right to issue military orders to the other two and four government departments, and even conduct military control when necessary.

But other departments have no right to intervene in the affairs of the military. Of course, if the extremely strong really want to meddle in their own business, that can't be stopped. "

After finishing speaking, old man Li said again: "The combat unit directly under the Ministry of Education is called the Wu'an Army."

Fang Ping suddenly frowned and said, "This name is unlucky!"

Old man Li was surprised and said: "Using martial arts to secure the country, this is also the purpose of the Ministry of Education. The world is equipped with martial arts, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe..."

Fang Ping said softly: "Since ancient times, people with the name of Wu'an have almost never ended well. Bai Qi and Li Mu were heroes for a while, but in the end they all ended up..."

As soon as he said this, someone beside him said calmly: "Death in the Catacombs is not a bad end."

"Um?"

Fang Ping's expression changed, and he immediately turned his head and said, "Minister, what do you mean..."

"The fault of martial arts, some things have been lost in history." Zhang Tao said quietly: "But some things, some historical records, are they true and reliable? You all know that the burrow was really opened to warriors in 1920.

But in fact, burrows appeared a long time ago.

Not only that, but now in the Catacombs, you have been to the land of the boundary, you should know some things, and found some clues.

Humans... have been active in the Catacombs for a long time.

For the era of martial arts, we are currently positioning four eras, maybe five eras.

From near to far, the first era is the current Xinwu era, which has been in the Xinwu era from 1920 until now.

And the second era can be traced back to 300 years ago, from 300 years ago to 1920, it can be understood as the era of Zhenxing..."

Fang Ping couldn't help but asked, "The era of Star City?"

"right!"

Zhang Tao replied: "It is the era of Zhenxing City, from the emergence of Zhenxing City to the nationwide deployment of military forces in 1920, this period is actually in the era of Zhenxing City.

Of course, Zhenxing City is not in this world. You can use Zhenxing City as a peach blossom garden. In the past 300 years, they have been born very rarely. "

Zhang Tao didn't say much about Zhenxing City, and continued: "And from 300 to 1,000 years ago,

In fact, it is an era of faults in martial arts. In this era, sects are respected, we call it the era of sects, but in fact, the sects at this time have declined.

For nearly 700 years, although the sect has always existed and dominated the martial arts, it is actually an era in which the Chinese martial arts declined the fastest.

Going back further, that is the ancient martial arts era..."

Speaking of the ancient martial arts era, Zhang Tao pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why I said four to five eras is because even the ancient martial arts era should be different in our division. Above the sectarian era, there should be a fairy God age.

Before the age of immortal gods, I think it can truly be called the age of ancient martial arts.

From the first day of the emergence of martial arts to the emergence of myths in the later period, this should be the real era of ancient martial arts.

The opening of the age of immortal gods is just a group of powerful ancient martial arts masters, unwilling to remain unknown, and opened a period of dominance..."

Zhang Tao talked briefly for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm just telling you that some historical records are not necessarily true. Are people like Bai Qi and Li Mu ordinary people's generals, or are they powerful Martial arts experts, no one knows.

The Sri Lankan has passed away and cannot be traced back.

However, I would rather believe that these people fell during the battle against the Catacombs.

Catacombs... run through the civilization history of the earth!

It can only be said that starting from 1920, the channel between the Catacombs and the Earth began to recover, and it had been in a semi-closed period before. "

Fang Ping became interested and said with a smile: "Minister, there should be a passage in Zhenxing City?"

"No."

"Um?"

Fang Ping was stunned for a moment, and said with a surprised face: "No way? If there are no passages, how can the people of Zhenxing City go to the burrow? It was said that there are 24 passages in Huaguo, but now we only see 23."

"You know a lot."

Zhang Tao smiled, and said: "Zhenxing City can be said to have or not. They do not have a passage to the outer domain, but they have a passage to Yuhaishan, or just a road.

You have to know that the so-called catacomb passages correspond to a domain.

The one in Zhenxing City does not correspond to a domain, so the entrance they have mastered is not a passage.

Huaguo has 24 passages, but the last passage is not the one in Zhenxing City..."

"In the hands of the cult?"

Fang Ping's eyes changed slightly, and Zhang Tao laughed and said, "How is that possible! If the cult really wants to master a channel, I'm afraid it would have made trouble a long time ago, and it can still be like a rat crossing the street like it is now?

It is also impossible for us to master a channel for the cult. Once these people let the cave warriors invade, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Don't guess wildly, the cult has not mastered the channel...Of course, some of them have identities on the surface in reality.

Therefore, the warriors of the cult may obtain some materials from the crypt.

Even... the cult may have mastered one or several storage rings, and this may still exist.

Therefore, sometimes these people enter the burrow and take away some important materials without our knowledge.

There are no passages, but the probability of having storage rings is not low. "

Fang Ping wanted to ask where the last passage was. After thinking about it, since it was not in Star Town or in the hands of the cult, it was self-evident in whose hands it was.

Including the tens of thousands of Wu'an Army, as well as the strength of other ministries and governments, I haven't seen many, and I'm afraid there are arrangements.

Without asking this again, Fang Ping whispered: "Minister...Hua Guo... really don't have some information about the cult, so they can't completely wipe out each other? You and the commander are the strongest among the top, even these clowns can't do anything about it." solve?"

"Not urgent."

Zhang Tao said with a faint smile: "People have desires, and people have evil thoughts. Human nature is inherently good or inherently evil? Is it possible for a country without any distracting thoughts to exist?

It is impossible for a Utopia-like country to truly exist, and even if it exists, it will soon be destroyed.

Not to mention that the Catacomb Enemy is ahead, it's useless.

There are always some people who would rather kneel down, wait for death, stick out their heads, flatteringly invite others to cut off their heads, rather than stand up and resist!

A cult is a collection of evil thoughts, a collection.

Cults cannot be eradicated, nor can they be eradicated. "

Zhang Tao sighed softly: "Whether it is peace or chaos, evil thoughts will never be eliminated. If you wipe out this group, there may be a second and third group that is more secretive soon...

Therefore, our policy with other countries is to suppress but not destroy!

Don't give the opponent a chance to grow stronger, but you won't really go out of your way to completely wipe them out.

What's more... the cult has existed for so many years, it is difficult to explain some deep and inferior things to you. "

Zhang Tao talked for a while, and finally said with a smile: "Of course, the cult is just a disease of scabies, and it doesn't matter. Over the years, the low-level warriors returned to us have played a role in training soldiers, allowing first- and second-rank warriors to see their blood.

In the Catacombs, first- and second-rank warriors would not see blood.

Now that the society is stable, middle and high-level warriors fight in the burrows, and low-level warriors rarely commit crimes. Why?

It stands to reason that warriors are troublemakers, but in fact, how many low-grade warriors have you seen breaking the law?

Give them an outlet, and likewise, give them something to intimidate!

If you dare to make trouble, you will be killed!

Anything that exists naturally has its value. "

Fang Ping nodded, Zhang Tao glanced at him, and suddenly smiled: "The Wu'an Army now has 38,000 warriors, almost all of whom are graduates from Wuhan University.

Boy, after graduation... No, you can actually consider coming to Wu'an Army now.

In the Wu'an army, thousands of people form a regiment, if you come, how about giving you a regiment commander? "

Fang Ping was not interested at all, and said perfunctorily: "The minister thinks highly of me, and I'm only at the seventh rank, and I can kill the first stage of the seventh rank. How can I be qualified as the leader of a thousand people..."

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Tao laughed, playing with the taste: "Is this looking down on the position of the commander of the Wu'an Army? Do you think you are very good? You must know that I entered the ninth rank 30 years ago and served as the Minister of Education. It has been 30 years now.

And 30 years ago, I formed the Wu'an Army.

Over the past 30 years, in the previous 9 youth competitions, people from the Ministry of Education participated in each one, and one or two people were shortlisted each time. Of course, there are not as many as this year.

In the youth competition alone, 15 people from the Ministry of Education entered the restricted area. Although there have been casualties over the years, there are still 10 people who survived.

This is just a youth competition. After 30 years, the high-quality fighters trained by the Ministry of Education, do you think it will be much less than martial arts?

There are not many soldiers in Wu'an, less than 40,000, but a regiment of thousands of people, which regiment leader is not high-quality! "

Fang Ping was shocked, and said after a while: "Minister... are you... rebelling?"

"boom!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Tao beat Fang Ping like a doughnut!

On the side, old man Li is like a sculpture, I didn't see it!

This kid Fang Ping is crazy. He dared to slander Jue Dian. Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't participate, because if he did, he would be beaten to death too.

With a wave of Zhang Tao's hand, he beat Fang Ping to the ground, and then he said with a smile: "Take care of your mouth, the Wu'an army is not a private army, and actually it doesn't need it.

To us, all authority is insignificant.

Just like today, I asked you to be the principal of a middle school. Do you think it's interesting that you cover the sky in the middle school? "

Fang Ping shook his head and climbed up, mumbled a few words, then immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not interested."

"Isn't that very clear?"

Zhang Tao said with a faint smile: "The reason for forming a large-scale army to fight is actually to gather everyone's strength, or to prevent the warriors from being so scattered. When there are too many warriors, warriors are everywhere, which is prone to chaos.

This is a kind of control, and it is also a kind of suppression. It does not allow warriors to spread out and destroy everywhere.

Of course, it is also a kind of training. The collective strength to cultivate warriors is faster than the growth of warriors alone.

Let’s just talk about you, Fang Ping, without the existence of Wuhan University, you wouldn’t be able to get to where you are now. Even if you have your secrets, without the collective strength to support you, you may have died several times in the Catacombs. "

As he said that, Zhang Tao said with a smile: "Returning to the topic, whether you come to Wu'an Army or not, you don't force it, and in fact, you don't expect you to come and cause damage. Are you here to send the magic soldiers today?"

Fang Ping said sullenly: "Minister, you are too ruthless, five magical weapons..."

"The magic weapon is called the magic weapon if it can be used." Zhang Tao said seriously: "Weapons are for people to use. If you keep them in your hands and don't use them for others, then what's the use of keeping so many magic weapons?

Today, some strategic resources are in short supply, and many high-grade warriors are fighting the enemy and dying in the crypt because of the lack of magic weapons...

Since you, Fang Ping, want to be a leader, you should pay a little, so why are you so fussy? "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tao laughed again: "Besides, I'm not asking you to pay for nothing! Don't mention the matter of the Yang family, you and your family can live in peace and stability, and behind the scenes are these people who support you in obscurity.

Fang Ping, when you are incapable, no one will ask you to give to others. If you can manage yourself well, that is the greatest luck.

When you have the ability, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, it is not a joke.

You don't care, I don't care, can ordinary people survive in this world?

Maybe you will say, why am I the only one paying? In fact, everyone is giving. It just so happens that you have been caught this time, so you will naturally be asked to pay more, otherwise, you will not be able to pass this test. "

It's an honor for an extremely strong man to talk so much with Fang Ping.

Fang Ping actually understood this too, but he was still not very clear, and said dryly: "The grandmaster who got my magic weapon...you have to write me a thank you letter, and you have to send me a letter of thanks to Mowu with great fanfare, Minister. No?"

Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment!

This request... is so frustratingly unexpected!

After a long while, Zhang Tao came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Are you sure?"

"Ahem... Well, at least I can prove that I actually had a lot of magical soldiers back then..."

"Can!"

Zhang Tao said with a faint smile: "You give me a ninth-grade magic weapon now, and I will personally write you a thank you letter and send it to Mowu in person, that's fine too."

Fang Ping pouted, come on, I won't do it.

It's a lot of face, but the loss is so big, I just don't do it.

But having said that, Zhang Tao is thick-skinned enough, if it were me... I would probably do it too.

Of course, it's hard to say.

In Zhang Tao's eyes, the Ninth Grade Divine Weapon may be similar to the alloy weapon in Fang Ping's eyes, an A-level alloy.

Now that someone gave Fang Ping an A-grade alloy weapon, Fang Ping might not come to the door to thank him in person.

Fang Ping thought for a while and asked: "Minister, you people, killing the seventh-rank monsters is very easy, even if you don't kill them in Yuhaishan, just go to Taboo Sea to kill them..."

"not that simple!"

Zhang Tao frowned and said: "The monsters in Yuhaishan can't kill randomly, and the taboo sea can't be! Those of us will not go to the taboo sea easily. In the cave, the strongest is not the cave humans, but the cave monsters. family!

Once those of us go deep into the taboo sea, there is also a danger of falling. If we change to a peaceful era, or practice martial arts only for the sake of being strong, then we will inevitably go deep into the taboo sea to explore.

Warriors must compete, the Taboo Sea is full of dangers, and there are also many opportunities. Maybe it can help us take a new path. No one is curious about the depths of the Taboo Sea.

But we are not... We can't die, at least we can't die so meaninglessly!

Those risky moves cannot be taken lightly. Once they die in the taboo sea, it will be troublesome. "

"Just like the one from the Yang family?" Fang Ping muttered.

Zhang Tao scolded: "Don't talk about Jue Dian's affairs behind your back, talk about it! You can hate the Yang family, you can also oppose the Yang family, and you can even despise the descendants of the Yang family for short-sightedness!

However, you cannot deny the achievements of an old man who has been in Yuhaishan for hundreds of years!

Regardless of whether he is selfish or public, his dedication to mankind is beyond your imagination, and it is currently unsurpassed!

Any Juefeng, before he betrays mankind, is a hero of mankind!

Fang Ping, this is the first warning and the last!

Senior Yang is not the same as people like Yang He. Even if he goes to the realm, that is his freedom. We are only annoyed that he did not notify us, which led to the capture of the Tiannan Catacombs... However, no one denies his Credit!

You, Fang Ping... have no such qualifications! "

Zhang Tao's tone was a lot heavier, and he was no longer as kind as before.

Fang Ping whispered: "I know, I didn't mean that either..."

Zhang Tao's face softened a little, and he continued: "You must maintain a certain amount of respect for senior warriors, no matter whether the other party is on good terms with you or not, this is a must. As an adult, etiquette is essential!"

"Well, I respect senior warriors very much."

"Is that so? Respect is calling a top-notch 'Old Zhang' behind your back? Respect is speaking insultingly to an old man who is older than your grandfather?"

Fang Ping looked dull!

Old Zhang, you really give Jue Dian a face, eavesdropping on people's conversations every day, and Jue Dian's strength is for you to listen to the wall?

Zhang Tao said with a half-smile: "You are not the best, not even high-quality. I will wait for you to beat me when you are the best. But before you reach this level, pretend to be a grandson in front of me. In fact, I The grandson is older than you, and I don't care if you have one more grandson."

The corner of Fang Ping's mouth twitched, it sounded like a curse...but no one could refute it.

Lao Zhang's grandson is indeed older than him!

On the side, old man Li sighed, Fang Ping pretended that his grandson had made money, and my father was almost as good as Fang Ping's grandfather, and Lao Zhang was going to be his father.

Zhang Tao didn't continue, he was very busy, if it wasn't for the five magic weapons, he wouldn't have time to talk to Fang Ping.

After digressing for a while, Zhang Tao quickly said, "Did you bring the magic soldiers? You are still so polite, how many more?"

At this moment, Fang Ping is carrying many magic weapons on his back.

In addition to the boots that old man Li left behind, he brought all eight magic soldiers, and wrapped them in big bags at this time.

Hearing what Zhang Tao said, Fang Ping was taken aback, and immediately said: "Minister, just five! I want you to help me transform that eighth-rank knife into an eighth-rank knives suitable for me. Soldiers!

The other two seventh-rank ones, also help me to transform them, merge them into one, and get a stronger magic weapon among the seventh-rank ones..."

Zhang Tao's eyebrows are beating, he is really rich!

Now that I shot this kid to death, wouldn't I be earning a fortune?

Thinking about it, Zhang Tao pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is no need to prepare two offensive weapons. I can modify those boots for you and make them suitable for you, which can increase your speed.

Putting on the boots of the Divine Weapon, your speed will no longer be slower than that of the seventh rank. Now you, in terms of explosive speed, should still not be as fast as the seventh rank. "

Fang Ping's eyes moved slightly: "That's not one, Minister, you can modify a pair of boots, a seventh-rank knife, and an eight-rank knife..."

Zhang Tao said with a light smile: "This is a very laborious task, in terms of handling fees..."

Fang Ping was stunned again!

You still have to charge me a handling fee?

...

After more than an hour, Fang Ping walked out from the Ministry of Education.

Looking back at the Ministry of Education, Fang Ping murmured: "Cannibalism doesn't spit out the bones! It's just a reformation, and I will charge 1 catty of life essence..."

Old man Li said lazily: "It's not a loss. It's not that simple to transform the three magic weapons. It can't be transformed if you change someone."

Fang Ping sighed, forget it, stay away from Lao Zhang until Jue Dian, this old man is too dark-hearted.

Didn't talk about this anymore, Fang Ping was wearing a pair of extremely handsome combat boots at the moment, staring at the boots, Fang Ping smiled and said: "Teacher, I will try the speed and see if it can really increase the speed..."

After the words fell, there was only an afterimage that hadn't dissipated!

And Fang Ping, the person has appeared hundreds of meters away in an instant!

At this moment, Fang Ping was full of excitement!

So fast!

Of course, the consumption is also high, and a lot of mental strength and blood are consumed all at once!

But the speed just now exceeded the speed of sound!

At this moment, Fang Ping has really experienced the speed of high-grade powerhouses, but with such a large consumption, it is no wonder that those high-grade powerhouses will not continue to explode.

They can't, but Fang Ping is fine, as long as his body can withstand the pressure at such a high speed.

However, this kind of speed exceeding the speed of sound puts a lot of pressure on the body, and if it lasts for a long time, the inner organs cannot bear it.

In addition to the boots, Fang Ping wore a knife similar to the Ping Luan knife on his waist.

But outsiders don't know that there is an eighth-grade knife hidden in the door of Qi and blood, and that thing is used as a killer's mace.

Fang Ping has already thought about it, the seventh-rank sword is used for daily battles, and the eight-rank sword is used to maintain the sword!

He was looking forward to whether the eighth-rank sword that had been accumulating in the Gate of Qi and Blood would be able to cut the eighth-rank sword like Lao Li when he drew it!

"The eighth-grade sword must be kept up all the time. If you lack everything, you will not lack vitality and mental strength!"

Fang Ping made up his mind, and now, even old man Li no longer keeps swords.

There is no way to raise them. The stronger the strength, the more years of raising swords may not have much effect on their growth.

But Fang Ping is not very strong, and for him, keeping a knife is still helpful.

And ordinary warriors can't afford it either.

Three divine weapons... that's enough. Even if a seventh-rank warrior gets three divine weapons, they won't really use them all. Divine weapons need to be cultivated. Three can't afford it. There is no time to practice.

But to Fang Ping, it's nothing, it just consumes tens of thousands of calories of blood and thousands of Hertz of mental power every day.

"The wealth of 11 million is worth a day... It's only a few billion a year, it's nothing."

Fang Ping thought about it in his mind, and felt that it was no big deal.
