Although Bai Chen kept pestering the girl, which gave Wei Hao a headache, because he could purify the filth, Wei Hao didn't argue with him, and instead took him to patrol the city.
After all, this guy is willful and willful, and he does have some skills.
"Brother-in-law, I don't understand something, please enlighten me."
"Oh... just tell me."
Even beating and scolding couldn't cure Bai Chen's foul mouth, so Wei Hao just regarded him as a fart.
"These people in Wuchao County have no connection with you. Why do you want to stay here instead of leaving, but you want to help them get rid of the demons?"
Bai Chen was very curious. He was hanging around in his hometown, either eating, drinking, having fun, or fighting with lackeys. He didn't do any serious things.
As a "yin prison", even if he went to the capital, he would not report to the Imperial College as he said, but to Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple.
The gods canonized by the human king, such as the kings of mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, the dragon kings, etc., all started from the founding of the country and were crowned princes. Like Bai Chen, a dragon clan whose ancestors managed a river is generally equivalent to a "vassal king".
”, or a foreign king who paid tribute and became a vassal.
Naturally, Honglu Temple became the host of the exchanges and receptions.
After all, he is not a human being, so it is inappropriate for the Imperial College to take him in.
It's just that times have changed, and Honglu Temple's dealings with foreign vassals these days have become very perfunctory. Not to mention the local gods, it is unknown whether the gods will respond, so they simply ignore it.
Bai Chen said that "man can conquer heaven", which is also true. Most human beings trust their own abilities more. They use methods such as praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. They are either in jail and helpless, or they seek peace of mind and really rely on the blessings of gods to live their lives.
Very few.
It is also because of this special ecology where humans and gods coexist that there is what Bai Chen calls "the decline of family fortunes."
Honglu Temple was too lazy to pay attention to it, and the Dragon Clan was happy, so both sides secretly enjoyed themselves, which caused one generation to be inferior to the other. As for Bai Chen, the "Cute Prison" also existed in theory. In fact, wherever the capital of the Daxia Dynasty was, he
Do not know at all.
On weekdays, he casually entertains himself in his hometown, and squanders his ancestral gold and silver treasures, which naturally becomes a style that even dogs despise.
Second generation ancestors, humans are everywhere, how high can gods and monsters be?
"What are you talking about? To help Wuchao County get rid of the demons, why are you still asking?"
"Of course there is a reason. You are not their mother-in-law, so why should you?"
"I have the heart to hoe the strong and support the weak, and I have the power to subjugate demons and eliminate demons. So if I encounter you, I will do my best!"
"Well……"
Having said that, Wei Hao also somewhat understood the characteristics of the demon dragon clan. Although some of them had systems for those with great supernatural powers, they still generally lacked moral etiquette, let alone principled ethics.
They have no concept of right and wrong, things that are commonplace to humans.
Yingying has some, but it's also because she was born in Dajiang Longshen Mansion; Wang Zhaixing also has some, because her ancestors are still companions of humans.
But Bai Chen downplayed it a lot. There is a difference between the game world and the human son-in-law. The pride of a high-ranking family is the arrogance brought by status; but the dragon clan is different. This is nature, not arrogance.
"That……"
"I understand what you mean."
Wei Hao interrupted Bai Chen's further question and said directly, "Do you know why 'man can conquer nature'?"
"Why? Humans are not afraid of death? That's not right. Everyone I have seen is afraid of death."
"This has nothing to do with fear of death." Wei Hao looked at Bai Chen, the two of them stood at the top of the city. Wei Hao pointed at the road leading from Wengcheng to the inner city. They were densely packed with brave people transporting materials to defend the city, "Because
The power of one person is weak, but when we gather the power of many, we become strong.”
"Today I, Wei Hao, help the people of Wuchao County. In the future, today's stories will be told in the land and water here. The young people who grew up listening to these stories will naturally follow the example of their predecessors if Wufeng County is in trouble and they happen to be there in the future.
, give a helping hand to Wufeng County.”
"There are many stories of people working together to overcome difficulties. Generally speaking, we still know that 'helping others and helping yourself' is generally correct. If you think about monsters, monsters can become stronger by eating human flesh, but monsters can't help each other."
Swallowing can also make you stronger, which allows the spirits to gather together, but once they encounter setbacks, they will disperse in a rush."
"Monsters are afraid of being killed, but monsters are even more afraid of being eaten by powerful ones of their kind."
These words were crude and concise, but Bai Chen listened with interest. He smiled and said to Wei Hao: "I also have books at home. They are all classics. I can't read them. My sister said she wants to study. What's the use if I can't read them.
?I wanted to hire a teacher, but cockfighting and cricket fighting were very popular in Dachaozhou in the past few years, and I had a great time."
Looking at the proud Bai Chen, Wei Hao's face trembled, and he wanted to scold him, but then he thought that this guy was still a "shadow prisoner" in theory, and he had a huge fortune, so how could he have any strength?
"Wonderful brother-in-law, you are really great. How about this, I will give you thirty to fifty thousand taels of expenses a year, and you will be my scholar. How about this?"
"I..." Wei Hao's face trembled again. He still took the county's reward of twenty taels and one hundred taels relatively lightly. As long as he won the prize, these were just trivial matters.
But these thirty to fifty thousand taels...
"Think about it, think about it."
Bai Chen hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, my family doesn't talk about two families. I have been wandering for a long time and want to revive the family business. But Yuan Junping has figured it out for me. There is a big disaster. What can I do? The only option is
Seize the time and plan your escape. I have regretted the fact that I have done nothing in the past. But for a short while, where can I find a great sage to become my disciple? Maybe they are all liars. It is better to take advantage of my own family and do nothing for two things."
"..."
One is black and the other is black. In Wei Hao's eyes, Bai Chen, a dragon clan, is very out of character.
However, Bai Chen himself was very excited. He felt that with the help of Wei Xiangxiang, he would be able to understand humanistic principles. Not to mention being rich in knowledge, he would at least be able to "understand common sense".
"The expenses of three to fifty thousand taels are a little less, but you are still half a teacher, and the gifts for holidays are definitely indispensable. Although my family's ancestral river is gone, it has now become ten thousand acres of fertile land.
, but farmers who farm the land, every time they go to Shehuo to offer sacrifices, it is indispensable for me, the Bai family, to make offerings. Although it is not much, I have three meals a day of polished rice, but it is very easy..."
"Okay, okay, I'll think about it."
"Haha, thank you very much, dear brother-in-law, you don't know. Every time I go to other places for meetings, I get laughed at for my ignorance. I try to cheer myself up, but the game is so fun..."
"..."
Seeing this guy talking non-stop, Wei Hao felt a strong sense of déjà vu when he saw him.
The two continued to patrol, and Bai Chen kept talking. Just when Wei Hao was getting irritated, the guy suddenly asked in a nonchalant manner: "By the way, brother-in-law, you said this monster is afraid of being eaten by its own kind.
But what if one day, you humans also eat the same kind of food?"
"..."
This question suddenly became profound.
"Brother-in-law?"
Wei Hao was silent for a while and then said, "If people eat people, it means that someone has become a human-like monster that eats people, that's all."
