"According to the academy's favorite saying, rights come with responsibilities."
The old monk said: "The Academy accepts the support of the entire Yu Kingdom, so the disciples of the Academy must contribute their intelligence and talents to the Yu Kingdom.
But on the other hand, the imperial court of Yu State collected taxes from the people, but failed to protect the latter.
While the high-ranking officials and dignitaries are full of fat, the poor people are still living in hardship and danger."
Jianquan glanced at the Xingzhou citizens on the street and said calmly: "Many sects and demonic sects claim to bring happiness to their followers, but this kind of happiness is based on deception, oppression, and even the misfortune of others.
But I am different. The art of six paths of reincarnation can give the desperate people real relief. Freedom from the endless hell.
If you try to stop me, you might as well think about it first, what position do you take?
The court of Yu State did not pay attention to these people and regarded them as pigs and dogs who could be treated and fooled at will.
Scholars and scholars don't care about these people, they are only obsessed with the romance in their own world.
Now I have found a new path to save this group of people who have been abandoned, trampled, and exploited by Yu State,
As a disciple of the Academy, should you stand up and stop me at this time?
Tell these people to behave according to the rules, go back obediently, and continue to live a life where they will never see the light of day?"
After all, Jianquan was an eminent monk and his skill in debating scriptures was so profound that Sui Yi had no ability to refute.
""
Li Ang fell into silence. He knew that what Jian Quan said was true to a certain extent. There were indeed many officials in the Yu State court. Deep down, they regarded the people as pigs and dogs. They could squeeze, deceive, fool, and sacrifice at will to gain something for themselves.
Self-interest.
Li Ang's inner morality also made him absolutely unable to rebuke the people by saying things like "If you don't die of hunger in peace, just imitate the mantis with its arms".
He took a deep breath, cleared his thoughts in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "But you should give people the right to choose.
Among the 800,000 people in Xingzhou City, there are also many who are relatively satisfied with their current lives and are unwilling to enter reincarnation.
You forcefully take away their souls and claim to save them, isn't that a form of oppression?
Secondly, you cannot prove that the Six Paths of Reincarnation can really bring people awakening and liberation, as you said, and allow people to enter eternal peace and joy."
This is the crux of the problem. Jianquan's plan is like a black box.
It is impossible to know from the outside world what happened inside the box and what state it was in.
Maybe the soul can really achieve a moderate degree of transcendence in it,
Maybe it's not much better than the real world inside, maybe it's even worse, like a void of deathly silence.
Death is like a lamp going out.
Jianquan could not prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so he naturally could not convince Li Ang.
What's more, even if it is proven that the Six Paths of Reincarnation is feasible,
Yu State, Xuegong and even Taihao Mountain will never agree.
Just imagine, if the Six Paths Illusion is really extremely happy, people all over the world will flock to it.
No one wants to live a good life anymore, and they all wish to give up the physical body in advance, enter the illusion of six paths, and enjoy peace and happiness.
This will destroy the foundation of civilization and cannot be tolerated by any country or sect.
"I really can't prove it."
Jianquan shook his head, formed a Dharma seal with his hands, and said calmly: "So, the problem is back to the original point."
The atmosphere at the scene was once again depressing. Li Ang held the thread connected to the ground and remained silent. Sui Yi tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and his hair that reached his shoulders was still on fire.
Tap tap tap
The footsteps that had been ringing just now gradually stopped, and the people of Xingzhou had gathered together.
Everyone was smiling and looking mesmerized, listening to the ethereal Buddhist sounds emitted by the shadow demon.
"Feel sorry."
Jianquan said suddenly.
Li Ang frowned, "Sorry for what?"
"This is important to me and I can't risk the plan failing."
Jian Quan said calmly: "I don't know whether you will detonate the talisman in the end, so I took action first."
Before he finished speaking, Li Ang had already noticed something unusual.
The surrounding scene slowly dissipated like sand, and Sui Yi beside him, and even the people of Xingzhou on the street, all turned into flying sand.
In sight, only the Jianquan and the extremely empty white space were left.
Fantasy.
Li Ang's heart sank, and he was unknowingly pulled into the illusion by Jian Quan.
When did you fall for the trick? Just now when Jianquan displayed the Dharma Seal? Or was it earlier?
Before I could recall it carefully, there were magnificent glazed temples rising in the direction of Jianquan. The sky was filled with brilliant Buddha light, and lotus flowers grew on the ground.
Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats floated over on auspicious clouds, and the sound of the Buddha, like a bell and a bell, shook Li Ang's eardrums.
This is the illusion created by Jianquan.
"Actually, I have countless opportunities today to kill you."
Jianquan, who was standing in the lotus platform, said calmly: "After all, you are still too weak. Even if you study in the academy for three years, and even if you carry a few rare treasures with you, you still cannot exert your full strength.
But I didn't. I still wanted to convince you.
After all, you are the little medicine king god who is famous all over the world, and you have really done countless good things for the people. You are far more noble than those fat-headed people."
"So I'm borrowing my own reputation again?"
Li Ang scratched his head, this was really an illusion, and the Book of All Souls he carried with him did not respond.
"You can say that."
Jianquan nodded and said: "Now I offer you two options. One is to stay here quietly. When I complete the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I will let you and your senior sister leave safely."
"What about the second one?"
"Become the last human candidate."
Jianquan's tone remained calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Li Ang was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Deep in my heart, I believe what you said makes sense. The world is like a house on fire, and all living beings are suffering. It is extremely difficult to achieve happiness for everyone."
Jian Quan seemed to know what Li Ang was going to say, and said in advance: "But?"
"However, people need to save themselves, and people can save themselves."
Li Ang said: "Just a few decades ago, a pregnant woman giving birth was like going through hell. Children had a high probability of dying from diseases after birth, and even the children of the royal family were not immune.
But now, with midwifery technology and various drugs, such separations of life and death can be reduced much less.
In the past, it would take several months or even half a year to go out of the courtyard, and you could be robbed and killed by bandits and road bullies at any time on the way.
But now, it only takes a few hours to take a spiritual locomotive to reach a destination thousands of miles away.
You have also seen the benefits of Xuegong's technology to the people. The Yu State will become more and more prosperous, and the people of the Yu State will no longer have to struggle on the poverty line. Tragedies like Ran Wu will become less and less.
Maybe one day, everyone can afford medical treatment, go to school, and live in a house. The elderly can be supported, the young can be educated, the poor can be supported, and the poor can be helped, and the world will be unified.
All of this happens in the real world, without resorting to fantasy."
Li Ang does not believe in the so-called Haotian, gods and Buddhas, and illusions. To create human happiness, we must and can only rely on humans themselves.
"Is it?"
After hearing this, Jianquan shook his head and said gently: "As you said, the technology invented by Xuegong may be able to improve the living conditions of the people of Yu State.
But I doubt whether users of technology can keep their original intentions."
