Zhang Yuelu left Beichen Hall and still didn't stop thinking.
Qi Xuansu often said that the more emphasis is placed on something, the less it will be.
Confucianism has been proclaiming the rules of hierarchy for so many years, but in the end it was concluded that "princes, generals, and ministers should have their own kind." Except for a few aristocratic families such as Taoist Zhang and descendants of saints, there are very few nobles in the Central Plains who have lived for hundreds of years.
But in the Western Continent, there are often aristocrats from aristocratic families dating back thousands of years. Both aristocrats and common people feel that it is natural. Who is more hierarchical?
Taoism emphasizes equality, but can it really be equal? Can there really be no hierarchy?
I will be the Grand Master, you will be an ordinary Taoist citizen, and we are both the masters of the Taoist sect.
Different people have different opinions.
Chinese people believe in moderation.
But it is precisely because the people of the Central Plains are not moderate that they have to talk about the mean. Just like the Taoist ancestors did not dare to be the first for the world, everyone who achieves great things must dare to be the first for the world.
According to Zhang Yuelu, people from the Central Plains like to do things to the extreme.
Squeeze is to squeeze to the extreme, selling children and daughters is not a big deal, asking people to eat each other. It is obvious that the people above can ease the conflict and have a chance of survival by surrendering some of their interests, but no, they would rather wait for death with their wealth.
If you don't leak a little bit of residue from the cracks of your fingers to the bottom, in their view, giving free money to the poor is a sin.
On the contrary, resistance is also extreme. Rise up and eradicate all evil. You will not give up until you kill the whole family, and even if you kill the whole family, you will not forgive your hatred. You want to kill the three tribes of Yi and the nine tribes. They will crush the bones and spread ashes. The inner treasury will be burned into beautiful ashes, and the streets will be trampled.
All the bones of the Duke are gone.
Neither side left any room.
Therefore, it is difficult for the reformists who have always advocated the transfer of interests to end well.
After all, depriving someone of their money is like killing their parents.
Can she, a moderate reformist, implement her ideas?
It's difficult.
In fact, both her and Yao Pei's ideas are difficult to realize, at least in the short term. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu and Li Changge's ideas are easier to realize. After all, a new continent is just around the corner, and their differences are nothing more than the degree of involvement and the method of distribution.
Questions. One is mild, the other is extreme.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei seek from within, while Qi Xuansu and Li Changge seek from outside.
Just like the inheritance of the four people, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei are innate immortals who rely on themselves, while Qi Xuansu and Li Changge are acquired immortals and rely on external forces.
While Zhang Yuelu was deep in thought, there was suddenly a burst of noise.
At this time, Zhang Yuelu was on her way home, not to the home in Xuandu, but to the home in Taishangfang, because she wanted to stop by to see how Qi Xuansu's mansion was decorated.
Although they have been renovating one after another for two years, the two of them made some changes according to their own preferences. Of course, Zhang Yuelu paid for it.
Qi Xuansu had no money, so it was still not completed. Now it is coming to an end, mainly for gardens and other buildings. Considering that many Western churches took hundreds of years to be repaired, this is reasonable.
Xu Jiaorong and Lei Xiaohuan were also traveling with Zhang Yuelu and planned to see their new homes, so the three of them were riding in the same car at this time.
Xu Jiaorong signaled to stop, then pulled up the corner of the car curtain and looked out.
A group of people were gathering on Shangqing Street, shouting loudly.
Xu Jiaorong listened for a while and then lowered the car curtain.
"What's going on?" Lei Xiaohuan was flipping through a book. With a martial artist's hearing, it is not difficult to hear the various subtle sounds around him. Even the sound of earthworms digging on the ground can be heard if he wants to, but
Most of the time, just like a martial artist suppresses his energy and blood to avoid appearing in his true form, a martial artist will close his body and mind of his ear openings and filter out most of the useless sounds on his own, that is, he will turn a deaf ear, as if the wind is blowing from his ears, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by countless sounds.
It was driving me crazy. So Lei Xiaohuan didn't hear what was being shouted outside.
The same was true for Zhang Yuelu who was thinking.
Xu Jiaorong replied, "It's nothing serious. A group of people were protesting against the Taoist sect's slaughter of dragons. I listened for a while, and it reached the level of the human race. They said that the human race is really arrogant. They think they are the masters of the world and wantonly enslave other living beings.
"
Lei Xiaohuan coldly snorted, "A bunch of flower garden Taoist priests who are full of food and have nothing to do are really comfortable. If the dragon doesn't eat talented people for hundreds of years, it will be pitiful to the dragon. They also enslave other living beings. According to them, they are like cattle and horses."
If they are no longer useful, what are they going to do if they are forced to work on mills and carts? Let me tell you, without the protection of Taomen, without the 'flower garden', and allowing them to make a living on their own, there will be no such leisurely life."
"Don't say that, it will have a bad influence. Besides, isn't this the embodiment of the so-called 'civilization'?" Zhang Yuelu said.
Lei Xiaohuan said, "Aren't humans the masters of the world today? How can they be arrogant? Isn't this a fact? Furthermore, when it comes to slavery, isn't the person who is most severely enslaved by others the person himself? That's right.
It's more unpleasant to hear that if people treat their own kind like this, why should they talk about other living beings? For these people, the plains of Western Borneo were dyed white with bones. They had no sympathy. Nor did they sympathize with the aborigines of the New World who were scalped. On the contrary,
I sympathize with the dragons and other creatures who move the wind and rain, and my heart is broken. Is this hypocrisy?"
Xu Jiaorong said, "This is true. If you are prosperous, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can be alone. The problem of food and clothing for so many people has not been solved, and the problem of livelihood for so many people has not been solved. Providing support for the elderly is still a big problem, as far as the human race is concerned
, If you can’t take care of yourself alone, you have to help the world and care about dragons.
Life and death, opposing the enslavement of other living beings, it’s really a bit of a waste not to eat minced meat.”
Lei Xiaohuan said, "To put it bluntly, for the development of Taoism, how many people have died and how much blood and sweat have been paid. They are really seeking a life among thousands of deaths. These people stand on the basis of their predecessors and enjoy the benefits of their predecessors."
Instead, they accused their predecessors of blindly pursuing development and disregarding the harmony between man and nature. Without dragon bones to build flying boats, how could they rule Fenglinzhou and Borneo? Without overseas continents, why should they stand here to protest decently?
Slaughter the dragon? He has been sent to the rainforest of Borneo a long time ago. Compared with the harmony between heaven and man, or the cannibalism of people thousands of miles away, which one is better? Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and curse."
Xu Jiaorong joked, "It's just a Western conspiracy. Slavery is not a sin. If you eat meat, you will go to the eighteenth level of hell."
Zhang Yuelu raised the car curtain and looked around, but said nothing.
Both sides have their own reasons. ??
But in the end you still have to sort out priorities.
What is the main contradiction?
People have always been the main contradiction.
Isn’t it also human issues that they are discussing now?
A question that allows everyone to live a better life.
In Lingshan Cave, after three days of trekking, Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao were getting closer to the main peak of Lingshan. Strictly speaking, the main peak of Lingshan had begun to disintegrate, so there were many broken peaks, boulders, and building debris.
Suspended in mid-air, they are not stationary, but are moving at an extremely slow speed, as if they are dust visible in the sun.
Today's human world has entered the Tai Chi period, becoming more real and stable, so even immortals can hardly move mountains and seas in the true sense, and reach for the stars and the moon. But the cave sky is different from the human world, and its interior is probably between Tai Chu and Tai Chi.
In the early days, it was relatively easy to change the environment, and various "traces" would last longer, as evidenced by the debris floating in the air and the thunderclouds that lingered.
The closer you get to the main peak of Lingshan Mountain, the more twisted cracks there are in the space, like a net covering the main peak of Lingshan Mountain, making people have to be cautious.
This main peak is the Lingshan Mountain in the narrow sense. Qi Xuansu once saw it in his dream, but it was very abstract, like a random graffiti, far less concrete than it is today.
About three hundred miles away from the main peak of Lingshan Mountain, Qi Jiayao stopped and stretched out his hand to stop Qi Xuansu, "Further forward, there is the restriction set by Yao Zu. Strictly speaking, this is the original restriction of Lingshan Witch Cult."
, but was defeated by Zu Tianshi, and Yao Zu restored these restrictions based on it."
"Its essence is like a 'moat', similar to the Taixu Illusion of Yuxu Peak. However, the Taixu Illusion has been closed for many years, and you should have never seen it. Once you fall into it,
If you are restricted, you will keep repeating the cycle. If you cannot realize that you are in an infinite cycle, you will keep repeating the same things unconsciously, and eventually you will be completely assimilated and you will never be able to escape."
After Qi Xuansu listened to Qi Jiaoyao's explanation, he immediately remembered what happened to him in Fenglin Continent. Yueyeye Jianzun had used such magical powers to trap him, and he finally got out of trouble thanks to Mr. Yin's intervention.
Qi Xuansu asked, "If that's the case, how did you escape in the first place?"
Qi Jiayao replied, "Because the Lingshan Cave itself is in dilapidated condition, even after Yao Zu's repairs, this strange circle is no longer perfect and has many flaws. Although I couldn't break through, I managed to escape."
Qi Xuansu asked again, "Yaozu set up this restriction to prevent outsiders. Normal access by our own people cannot be done by force. There should be something like a 'key' or permission."
Qi Jiaoyao shook his head and said, "I don't know very well. I didn't even know that Yao Zu had repaired this restriction beforehand. If I had known that there was such a restriction, I would have made preparations in advance instead of rushing in."
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, "Well, I have the means to save my life. Even if this place traps me, I'm not afraid. I'll explore the way first and see if I can try to get there."
Qi Jiayao immediately raised a very realistic question, "If you are lucky enough to get through directly, what will I do? You won't leave me alone, right? We have a life-long friendship."
Qi Xuansu did not ruthlessly say that we just met by chance, but said, "Then let's go out together. If things go wrong, I will leave Lingshan Cave directly, and you can seek happiness in there."
Qi Jiayao began to fight between heaven and man.
In the end, Qi Jiayao gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Let's go together. I bet you are lucky enough to be able to take me through it all at once. If not, you can punch the void. Even if you retreat, I won't be afraid. After all, I
I have already escaped once, I am familiar with the road, and I also have a 'bone mirror', so I will definitely be able to escape a second time."
"Then let's join the formation." Qi Xuansu took the lead.
"There are some things I don't want to say, but I still have to explain them to everyone. Today, I went to attend the funeral again. Since I am not a particularly close elder, I just attended the funeral and didn't need to involve too much. I just had a traditional meal and came back.
It’s not too early for me to die. I’m a little bit emotional, what kind of year is this? This is already the fourth time this year, and an elder has relapsed and metastasized again. It is estimated that his time is running out. To be honest, I am a little bit
Almost numb. These past few days have been going on one after another, and I really can’t bear it. When I came back today, I didn’t have much time, and my mind was a little confused and empty. The plot didn’t advance, it didn’t feel right at all.
