Dragon-slaying illusion.

In this world, everyone's growth requires some opportunity to exist...

For ordinary people, many things may become turning points in their lives...

For example, an arrogant and cold person may become cheerful and gentle because of a serious illness...

For example, a person who just live a life may become more vigorous because of a ridicule from the opposite sex...

Or maybe a person who was originally law-abiding may become cynical because he was treated unfairly...

After all, personality determines destiny, and once personality changes, destiny will naturally change...

And such changes are actually a kind of growth...

This means that a person has a clearer understanding of the rules of the world. Whether this change is good or bad, correct or extreme, it is itself a sign that human beings become more mature...

This is a process of human growth...

The more things ordinary people have experienced, the deeper they have in their understanding of the rules of this world. The more mature they will be in dealing with people and dealing with people, and the more successful they will be in their work and career. The more suppression and setbacks a truly talented person encounters, the more they can often exert their abilities. On the contrary, an incompetent person often gives up his original persistence once he is suppressed and setbacked, and he will take the path of mediocrity...

Of course, the growth of ordinary people and the growth of awakened people are still different after all!

What ordinary people pursue is nothing more than wealth and power, and their growth environment is actually based on the basis of these two. It is because of this that they are particularly passionate about these two...

All the joy or setbacks they experience are, after all, either because of wealth or status. As for love, most of the time, they are just accessories to these two...

From the perspective of growth, the more wealth a person has and the higher the status he has, the deeper their understanding of life and the deeper their understanding of the world. For them, when their wealth and rights reach a certain level, it will become very, very difficult, or even extremely difficult to go further. Every step can be like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss...

Of course, despite this, wealth and rights are still popular. The most critical reason is that for ordinary people, wealth and rights are relatively real things!

Having wealth and rights is almost equivalent to having everything in this world. Wealth and rights themselves are far from what is comparable to the so-called dreams, because before dreams are realized, they are just products of nothingness, but wealth and rights are real things, and they can actually produce the concept of real satisfaction!

Dragon-slaying illusion.

Of course, compared to the difficulty of ordinary people in pursuing wealth and power, the awakened people's pursuit of power is an extremely difficult road!

If wealth and power represent reality for ordinary people, then in the eyes of the awakened person, only strength is the only real thing, and everything else is nothingness!

The reason is very simple. Whether it is wealth or power, it is all based on the truth under order. When the order does not exist, wealth and power will have no meaning...

But the power is different. Power is an existence that can establish order and possess power. No matter what environment it is, you can enjoy the status you should enjoy...

In short, if a person is really powerful enough, then what ordinary people pursue is just within their reach...

Of course, the premise is that the strength must exceed a certain intensity!

In fact, this is also the reason why martial arts gradually declined!

In this world, many people actually understand that power can have an influence on order to a certain extent...

However, different orders, the forces that can produce critical influence will also be essentially different...

The lower the critical value, the more people will often pursue the way of power. On the contrary, the higher the critical value, the fewer people will pursue the way of power...

In ancient times, combat generally existed in the form of cold weapons, so as long as you are a martial arts master, you have the ability to ignore order. The world of the world is actually a portrayal of that time...

In fact, the government can manage only those civilians who do not know how to do martial arts. In most cases, the government will not care about the fights in the world. First, it is unwilling to cause trouble, but it does not have the ability to deal with it...

By the same token, the people of the Jianghu often stay away from the government. They have their own set of rules for internal operation. The Jianghu and the government are two completely different concepts...

In fact, in many dynasties, monks and Taoist priests are often almost not managed and protected by the state. They neither need to pay taxes to the state nor enjoy the various welfare benefits granted to the people by the state. In many cases, they are just outsiders, and most of the martial arts gates in the world are often dominated by monks and Taoist priests...

In ancient times, the power of order was not strong, so personal force was prevalent. The so-called heroes violated the ban with martial arts is a concept that only arises under this situation... In ancient times, the profession of the Ranger was actually a very typical existence. They often chose to kill people in anger because of injustice, or simply killed people and ran away when they were bullied. Such behaviors were not psychologically burdened by them...

In that era, the constable basically couldn't control these things...

Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Erye left the country because he killed someone, but he was also respected as a Martial Saint in the end. It seemed that under the social conditions at that time, no one had any criticism about such a situation, because people at that time seemed that such a heroic and a ranger killed people was commonplace...

This is a typical example of the power that is so powerful that it exceeds the ability to restrain order. Of course, the social situation at that time was relatively special, and the order itself was in a relatively collapsed state, so even if someone killed someone, there would not be too many people to pursue it...

That is why in ancient times, there were actually quite a few people who learned martial arts, especially the vast majority of families with wealthy families, who would have family disciples to learn martial arts, and at the same time, they would also establish a guardian force of their own family, in order to protect their own safety in the face of unstable order...

It is because of this that illegal forces often run rampant in the local area, while ordinary people can only be suppressed by various kinds of suppression. In the case of imperfect order, without sufficient force and financial resources, there is no right to speak...

Dragon-slaying illusion.

In the era of cold weapons, force and army are always the most important forces. In ancient society, anyone who masters the method of training and can have enough financial resources to achieve it can often have a certain influence in troubled times, while on the contrary, there is no strong army. Then no matter what kind of concept, it is just a fantasy, and even a powerful warrior has a position in troubled times. It is far more than most ordinary people...

Just like during the Warring States Period in Japan, there were also several so-called sword saints, each of which had extraordinary strength to become a saint. These sword saints often had a huge influence on famous generals and ronin. Sometimes, some martial sword tycoons could easily have a large number of ronin who were willing to fight for with one wave of their hands...

In the era of war, people often worship martial arts very blindly, especially for warriors. The stronger the warriors, the stronger their appeal to the same warriors. Behind a powerful warrior, there are often hundreds of warriors willing to wing for them. Even generals and daimyos who need power will have a very close relationship with these warriors...

As time goes by and as the order gradually becomes stronger, this kind of force from the people begins to be suppressed gradually, and many warriors can only join the court and become hawks and dogs in the court. Just like the martial arts top scholar in the ancient court, it is a typical transformation from the martial arts people to the court...

That is a typical manifestation of the fact that force gradually began to return to order. From that time on, the concept of the heroic offense of martial arts began to spread widely, and martial arts began to be feared and suppressed by the court to a certain extent. However, this kind of suppression, in most of the time, can only flow to the surface...

The reason is very simple, because unless the court uses the power of the army on a large scale, they do not have any advantages in fighting against the warriors, especially the warriors themselves are scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers. If they do not use the army, they will often be unable to defeat them. However, once the army is used, the warriors will flee. If they even anger the warriors, it will even lead to large-scale revenge on society. Therefore, the court and the world have always been in a state of contradiction and unity...

If the reason is actually very simple, it is because whether it is the military force of the court or the martial arts world, they are all products under the same power system. Even if the court has an army, it cannot truly surpass the group of warriors, so the two can only be at peace. However, even so, there will be emperors trying to eradicate the martial arts world or the martial arts leader who is trying to obtain the throne from time to time...

At this time, a powerful warrior, or martial arts sect, actually has the ability to overthrow a dynasty in theory...

After all, this is a kind of touch between power and the bottom line of order under that era!

Just like the Ming Cult in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, it is a typical example. In the novel, Zhu Yuanzhang, a member of the Ming Cult, finally became the emperor. This is the impact of martial arts on order...

In that era, when martial arts reached a certain level, it was equivalent to being like a god. A master like Hong Qigong was able to lurk in the palace, enjoy the emperor's food every day, and never be discovered, which is enough to show what kind of ability the martial arts master had in that era. Having such strength was actually enough to subvert the order and subvert the imperial power...

Dragon-slaying illusion.

After all, whether martial arts is valuable is essentially a matter of whether martial arts exists to have the ability to subvert order and touch the bottom line of order. If the strength of martial arts can touch order, or even ignore the existence of order to a certain extent, then martial arts will naturally flourish because it represents a transcendent power...

On the contrary, if the power of martial arts is below the bottom line of order, then there is no difference between martial arts or not…

Just like in modern society where firearms are prevalent, it is a very typical state. Under the modern high-intensity order, firearms and martial arts are not at the same level. No matter how powerful a martial artist is, he cannot resist the power of firearms. This has become a consensus among the vast majority of people. Under this understanding, naturally, there will not be too many people who learn martial arts...

Although the vast majority of people who practice martial arts describe the so-called strengthening of their bodies, in fact, if they really only want to strengthen their bodies, then since ancient times, there will never be so many people learning martial arts. The essence of martial arts is to be able to kill people unconditionally and at no cost. If they learn martial arts, they cannot kill people, or even if they kill people, they cannot escape sanctions, then there will be much fewer people who can learn martial arts, and almost no one is willing to learn martial arts!
