Chapter 266 The War Mansion Full of Contradictions
Jiang Sibai and others took a short tour of Jingfang Country under the leadership of Zhan Wushang.
Speaking of it, Jiang Sibai felt that the Jingfang Kingdom was somewhat similar to the Xu Kingdom, with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas, and the citizens gathered together to build forts and defend themselves.
To be honest, if Jiang Sibai's own territory faced this situation, or Xu Guo faced this situation, he would definitely find a way to help.
But this is Jing Fang Kingdom, and after his understanding, the disciples in Beiqi Zhanfu are actually divided into two factions!
On one side is the Central Plains sect, which has a common civilization, and on the other side is the Beidi sect, which has no culture and only has the most barbaric behavior!
This really exceeded Jiang Sibai's expectations.
When Zhan Wushang introduced the situation in Zhan Mansion, he answered many questions, but when Jiang Sibai listened, he understood more.
Beiqi War Palace originally established itself deep in Beidi, so it naturally had to recruit disciples from Beidi in order to maintain its own strength.
However, there is no cultural inheritance in Beidi, and there are very few children who can develop early wisdom. Without cultural influence, they cannot even understand cultivation.
Therefore, it is still the Central Plains faction that dominates the Beiqi War Mansion.
The Central Plains sect formed an alliance with Luo Yun and the other three sects, but the Beidi sect was not interested in such an alliance.
"This is really a way to die."
Jiang Sibai sighed in his heart.
Judging from Zhan Wushang's performance, the disciples of the Central Plains Sect are very dissatisfied with the disciples of the Beidi Sect, and even wish that they would die soon.
It is unbelievable that this kind of separation and opposition can occur within the same sect.
"I'm sorry, everyone, because Beiqi War Mansion has just moved here a few years ago, and many facilities are not yet complete. I'm afraid we have to live temporarily in a small border town of Jingfang Kingdom. We will urgently build a residence for you in War Mansion.
."
Zhan Wushang planned to settle everyone in a small town on the western border of Jingfang Kingdom.
The population of this small town is only more than 300 households. Although it is a small town, in Jiang Sibai's mind, it is the size of a village.
There is no way around it. After leaving the great plain to the east of Jingfang, this is the hilly area.
In this era of slash-and-burn farming, no one would bother digging holes in the mountains to farm.
Therefore, this small town called Xishi can only feed so many people with the limited narrow flat land suitable for farming around it.
It's just that Jiang Sibai, who is accustomed to rich clothes and fine food, can see this small and cramped town surrounded by hills?
He said decisively: "No, we can just find a place with good mountains and water to camp outside the city."
Kong Qing, an old woman, also looked down upon that poor place. She nodded and said, "Xiao Bai is right. People like me and other outsiders should naturally stay away from the world of mortals. It is good to eat and sleep in the open air in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers."
Looking at the level of his speech, Jiang Sibai showed a lot of disgust on his face, while the old woman Kong Qing described it as "people from outside the world don't eat the fireworks of the world."
Didn’t this pattern and realm suddenly arise?
Of course, disgust is still general disgust.
Zhan Wushang felt very embarrassed. He hesitated to speak. In the end, he could only clasp his fists and say, "I'm neglecting you all."
"Master Kong Qing, this disciple will definitely step up supervision of the construction after he returns."
Kong Qing, an old woman, comforted her and said, "There is no need to push too hastily. After all, your War Office's first priority is to resist the invasion of the Bei Ming Corpse Sect. Don't lose the big for the small."
Such tolerance made Zhan Wushang even more embarrassed.
But no matter what, he had no choice but to leave.
"Xiaobai, how do you think we should settle down?"
After Zhan Wushang left, the old woman Kong Qing sighed secretly before asking.
Jiang Sibai said: "There are mountains and rivers here, so where is the place to stay?"
"I think it's right here."
The old woman Kong Qing asked: "This place is not far from the small town of Xishishi. Are you not afraid of being affected by the secular world?"
Jiang Sibai shook his head and said: "On the contrary, if we are too far away, it will be difficult for us to influence them."
"right here."
"My nephews, I want you to build a Taoist palace here in my Luo Yun's architectural style. It must be eye-catching."
Kong Qing, an old woman, was surprised when she heard this: "Isn't this just annoying to mortals?"
Jiang Sibai said: "If no one comes to the door, my uncle's medical skills will be useless!"
He said pointedly.
Only then did the old woman Kong Qing realize: "You want to deliberately make yourself conspicuous and attract the attention of some people in Beiqi Zhan Mansion!"
Jiang Sibai nodded and said: "The problem in Beiqi War Mansion is more serious than we thought."
"It's even possible that the Central Plains sect is a little unable to suppress the situation. Master, are you knowledgeable enough to know why this is?"
The old woman Kong Qing nodded and said, "I know this. The Beidi Sect was originally used as cannon fodder by Beiqi War Palace."
"It's just that Zhanfu's techniques are suitable for combat, and it's easier to become stronger in combat."
"Over the years, the strength of the Beidi Sect will naturally continue to grow stronger."
"Originally, this is nothing. After all, most people in Beidi are strong-willed. They will naturally be obedient when they feel the overwhelming strength of the Central Plains Sect."
"But as time went by, in the continuous fighting for years, the Central Plains faction had to rely more and more on the increasingly powerful force of the Beidi faction, so that it became too big to lose."
"Then the inner temperament of Beidi people came out."
Jiang Sibai heard this and followed along: "They admire the strong, but when they find that the Central Plains sect is no longer so strong, they will want to make their own voices heard, or become the boss themselves!"
The old woman Kong Qing nodded and said, "This is what happened."
"Before, Beiqi War Mansion always existed in the spiritual world with a generous and tragic image, but in recent years it has become more and more cruel and cruel."
Jiang Sibai also sighed after hearing this: "If this is the case, I am afraid that after the Zhongyuan sect of Beiqi War House completely loses power, the war house will slowly transform into an evil sect."
Sure enough, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.
Jiang Sibai thought for a while and said, "Then Zhan Wushang placed us here because he didn't want us to come into contact with those from the Beidi sect."
The old woman Kong Qing said: "Perhaps this is a family scandal in his eyes."
Jiang Sibai calmed down and said: "Then there is no problem with my decision. The more this happens, the more we will let those Beidi sects feel our presence."
The old woman Kong Qing hesitated for a moment. She was not stupid, so she naturally thought of Jiang Sibai's plan.
"Forget it, I will accompany you to see if I can win the hearts of these Beidi people."
Jiang Sibai nodded with a smile.
That's right, compared to the more assertive Central Plains sect, he thought that the Beidi sect, which was obviously simpler-minded, was the best target to win over.
As for saying that the other party is cruel and barbaric?
That's because before, they only knew how to enhance their own strength and didn't know what 'Tao' was, what 'Dharma' was, and what 'ritual' was.
In this case, we only need to teach them how to learn "ritual", "dharma" and "Tao".
The culture of the Central Plains is splendid and can educate people everywhere.
That's what he thought, and it was wonderful.
But he was not sure whether this thing could really happen. After all, he was not sure about the complicated relationship between the two factions within Beiqi War Mansion.
