Chapter 463 Man Can Conquer Nature

On the beach, Tang Lin unfolded the lotus sign, and engineering teams walked out of it. The super-large transport truck was like a hill, and Li Jing from Chentangguan Headquarters, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

Although Tang Lin paid real money to rent the land, he still needed Li Jing's face to rent such a large area. Due to both emotions and reasons, he wanted to come and see what Tang Lin was renting the place for.

At first, he thought Tang Lin was going to build a cave for himself. After all, immortals like to practice in famous mountains and rivers. But now it doesn't look like building a cave, but more like building a city.

Those huge mechanical creations looked like some kind of trucks, but why did the wheels turn into giant mechanical legs, and then opened on this uneven wasteland, revealing all kinds of strange metal creations inside.

There are more and more people, and there are more and more machines. Soon this wasteland is filled with smoke and dust, and large-scale construction is in full swing.

The more Li Jing looked at it, the weirder it became, and the more he looked at it, the less he understood it. In the end, he could only comfort himself with the sentence "Mysterious magic".

Tang Lin couldn't help with this kind of infrastructure, so he simply sat next to Li Jing and drank tea and chatted. With a stroke of his finger, the sand condensed into a high platform, and Tang Lin and Li Jing sat on it, with Empress Shiji and Nezha beside them.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Li Jing praised Nezha for his hard work in cultivation, but then made some insinuations about how children should sleep more to grow taller. Tang Lin saw the look in Li Jing's eyes and knew that he was heartbroken for his son's dark circles, and felt that he, the master, was urging him too harshly.

Tang Lin felt a million grievances in his heart. Your son played games every day. If he hadn't made progress in cultivation, he would have died suddenly. Can you blame him for being a strict master? But Li Jing seemed to be right. After not seeing him for more than a year, Nezha really hadn't grown at all.

Nezha seemed to know that something was wrong, and quickly explained a few words, saying that he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation in the past few days, so he stayed up all night for a few days and recovered after a few days of sleep.

After deceiving his father, Nezha looked at the indifferent Empress Shi Ji next to her and thought that he must master the magic of automatically combing his hair and removing dark circles under his eyes when he goes back.

After chatting for a while, Li Jing finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked Tang Lin: "Taoist Priest, please forgive Li for being abrupt, what exactly are you building?"

"Haha, General Li may not believe it, but what was built here is a magic weapon that can control wind and rain. Once completed, it will be guaranteed that Chentangguan will never suffer from drought or flood again." Tang Lin said proudly.

The weather controller may not be as powerful as "Global Storm", but controlling the weather in a small city is not a big problem. As long as the amount of rainfall is controlled, droughts and floods will basically be solved.

In fact, modern society has almost solved droughts and floods, but it usually relies on the construction of water conservancy projects in the entire country. For example, there is no industrial foundation in Fengshen World. It is impossible to carry out nationwide water conservancy adjustments. It is good to be able to control the rainfall in Chentangguan.

But after hearing such awesome stuff, Li Jing just said a few polite words, which was almost like "oh".

Tang Lin was a little surprised and asked strangely: "Does General Li think this thing is useless?"

"The Taoist Master is Nezha's teacher, and Li is just a mortal, but Li asked his peers to make friends with each other. Please forgive Li for being rude. The Taoist Master's magic weapon can control wind and rain, so it is naturally an extremely powerful treasure. However, the immortals have not been in the world for a long time. Just one or two rains from time to time are of no benefit to the world."

Li Jing still thought that this was an immortal magic weapon, the kind of immortal who would practice in seclusion for decades. Even if he had such a powerful magic weapon, how could he give two timely rains to mortals every year?

Once a severe drought occurs, tens of thousands of people can starve to death in a year. This kind of mercy that only occurs once in decades is naturally meaningless.

"Besides, the wind, frost, rain and snow are controlled by the Dragon King. If the sky wants to bring disaster, even the immortals cannot disobey it. Therefore, Li was bold and felt that this thing was useless."

Li Jing's last words were the last word. Now that the Heavenly Court has been established, it will be in charge of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the rotation of the four seasons, and in the future it will also be in charge of the cycle of life and death of mortals.

From disorder to order, but also from freedom to rules.

I can't tell the difference between good and bad.

But as long as it is governed by humans, even immortals will have selfish biases. Now that the heaven is first established, perhaps everything will be handled fairly, but as time goes by, those who are in charge of everything in the world will inevitably become arrogant and treat ordinary people like ants.

In later stories of the Journey to the West, there was a mortal emperor who offended the gods and gods, and God could sentence the place to no rain for three years, without caring about the hunger and cold of the people, forcing them to trade their children for food.

Blaming innocent people for one person's fault is something that gods can do, just like the Dragon King of the Four Seas who showed no mercy when he wanted to flood Chentangguan. This is a typical example of using public tools for private purposes and using power for personal gain.

Tang Lin thought about it carefully and realized that he liked Nezha as his apprentice precisely because he had mastered the cycle of life and death and could remove the hidden wounds on Li Jing's body, but he would rather suffer than be replaced by a death row prisoner.

This kind of three views is very consistent with the thinking of a modern man like Tang Lin.

But it is not possible to simply say right or wrong. After all, this was still the era of slavery, and even people could be the property of others. The concepts were completely different and it was really difficult to reconcile.

After thinking about this, Tang Lin was not prepared to use his own three views to change Li Jing's thinking. Instead, he said to him: "General Li, wind, frost, rain and snow are controlled by the Dragon King, so why did Dayu control the water and people dig wells?" Build a dike?”

Li Jing said doubtfully: "When a flood comes from the sky, people have to save themselves. Naturally, they have to control the water. The same goes for digging wells and building embankments."

"At this time, it is no longer under the control of the Dragon King?" Tang Lin asked again.

Li Jing vaguely felt that something was wrong, and said hesitantly: "This... we can't just let the people wait for death. Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans."

"Yes, ants are greedy for life, let alone humans. Since digging wells and building embankments is okay, why not artificial rainfall? This is no different from building embankments to store water." Tang Lin continued.

"The Taoist priest was joking, how can human power make it rain? Only those who are successful in Taoism can use their magical power to control the wind and rain." Li Jing didn't believe it at all.

"If there is a Hercules who pours water high into the sky, can these drops of water be considered artificial rainfall?" Tang Lin said with a smile.

“How does a bucket of water count as rainfall?”

"One barrel doesn't count, what about a thousand barrels, ten thousand barrels, or ten million barrels? Doesn't this count?"

Li Jing was not a fool. He retorted: "If there had been ten million buckets of water, there would be no need to pour it into the sky. We could just irrigate the fertile fields."

"Yes, that's right. As long as General Li recognizes that these tens of millions of barrels of water can be regarded as self-help for the people, the completion of this treasure will be equivalent to storing tens of millions of barrels of clean water in the sky in advance, just waiting for it to drop at the critical moment." Tang Lin was confident say.

Li Jing was thoughtful and asked: "Can a mortal also control this treasure?"

"Of course, this treasure can be used by everyone. It is a treasure that can defeat heaven and earth." Tang Lin said proudly.

At this moment, a gloomy wind blew on the ground, and a handsome young man in brocade clothes with a sinister expression appeared on the high platform, and said coldly to Tang Lin: "It's shameless to say so, but I want to see how many treasures you have to conquer the heavens." sharp."

"Who are you?" Tang Lin asked.

Upon hearing Tang Lin's question, the handsome young man proudly announced his family name: "The third prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, Ao Bing!"
