Qi Xuansu was once trapped in the dispute between procedure and result.
But Yao Pei gave him a brand new idea.
Are evil laws illegal, or are evil laws legal?
Why do you think this law is evil?
Who is it to decide whether it is just or not?
Justice means one life for one life. However, under the premise of careful killing, many people may not necessarily have to pay for their lives after killing. They may just be imprisoned for a lifetime. That is, the law gives unequal punishment to those who violate the law. This is not fair.
.
Therefore, the law does not represent justice or fairness, but it represents order.
Order is more important than anything else.
Yao Pei continued: "Laws are made by people. The makers are people and the executors are people. Who can be fair and just? So the people at the bottom throughout the ages hope that there will be chivalrous and righteous knights to preside over it.
Fair enough. If I were an ordinary citizen, I would admire you, but unfortunately I am not. As the saying goes, seeking political power in your position, as a member of the Taoist sect, I can only capture you and hand it over to the local Taoist government for disposal. After verification
, clarify the canonical punishments, kill chickens to scare monkeys, and demonstrate the majesty of Taoist laws."
Qi Xuansu suddenly had an idea.
Yao Pei is not talking about good and evil, right and wrong, or even justice. She is using this matter to tell him how to look at the laws jointly formulated by many superiors with the mentality of a superior, that is, the law is
The upper ruling class of Taoism is a tool for governing Taoism and safeguards the interests of the ruling class. However, in order to maintain rule, the law must also take into account the interests of the ruled and maintain a balance of interests between the two.
The key lies in who is the ruling class of Taoism.
If all Taoist priests are the ruling class of Taoism, then the law is to protect the interests of all Taoist priests. For all Taoist priests whose interests are protected, the law is just and fair.
If only the real people and above are the ruling class of the Taoist sect, then the law is to protect the interests of the real people. For ordinary Taoist priests whose interests are not protected, the law is neither fair nor just.
So Xuansheng set a tone for Taoism, equality.
Probably because of the blessing in his heart, Qi Xuansu suddenly understood what Zhang Yuelu had been thinking about changing the Taoist sect. To put it lightly, Zhang Yuelu wanted to redistribute and rebalance interests. To put it more deeply, Zhang Yuelu wanted to change the entire Taoist sect's ruling structure and complete the mysterious process.
Holy unfinished business.
Of course, rectifying people's hearts and suppressing unhealthy tendencies must rely on fundamental system reforms. Can it be said that one person can educate the people?
certainly
, compared to Xuansheng's ambition to conquer the world, Zhang Yuelu's plan is smaller. She only focuses on Taoism, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time. Confucianism said, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house?
If you put it in the Taoist sect, if you can't even change the Taoist sect, how can you talk about changing the world?
For a moment, Qi Xuansu stood motionless, wandering around and paying no attention to everything in the outside world.
But the big man was confused. What order, what rules, what are these? Is this woman mentally ill?
He looked at Yao Pei carefully and saw that her face was expressionless, her eyes were dull, she had no spirituality at all, and she really looked like a fool.
The big man took another sip of wine and said, "It's a pity that I, Long Leshan, never hit women in my life. You are lucky."
Yao Pei said calmly: "You don't hit women. Do you look down on women and feel that women are not worthy of being your opponent, so you deliberately give in?"
"So what?" Long Leshan slammed the wine jar in his hand on the table.
Yao Pei said: "If both parties have no cultivation, just in terms of strength, women are indeed inferior to men. Your statement is not wrong, but if both parties have cultivation, the difference in physical strength is already negligible.
Why are you so confident?"
"Whatever you say." Long Leshan said impatiently, "If you want to capture me, don't talk nonsense and ask your companion to take action quickly. I also want to see what the Taoist masters are capable of."
Yao Pei did not force it, but stretched out his hand to pull Qi Xuansu's sleeve: "It's your turn to take action."
Qi Xuansu came to his senses and responded.
Long Leshan stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of these stinky fish and shrimps first, and then I can argue with you."
Yao Pei asked: "Who are these people? Why are they in trouble with you?"
Long Leshan did not hide anything, saying: "This group of people has a nickname in the world, called 'Nanshan Group of Ghosts'. They run rampant in Qinzhou's rivers and lakes and do all kinds of evil. There was once a police officer who was determined to capture them, but was kidnapped by them.
He gave birth to his daughter, and was offered a reward of 1,000 peace coins by the Qinzhou Procuratorate, regardless of life or death. I have a friend who unfortunately died an unexpected death, leaving a widow who was left alone and helpless. However, he was humiliated to death by this group of evil spirits. I chased him all the way.
When they came here, they happened to uncover Wu Yonggui's scandal."
Yao Pei looked at those people: "Is this true?"
The leader hesitated for a moment and said: "We brothers are the 'Nanshan Group of Ghosts', but we never dare to get into trouble with the Taoist sect. I hope the Master can learn from this."
Yao Pei nodded and raised his hand. ??
Only a few stars could be seen, twinkling with cold light.
Before the Nanshan ghosts had time to react, they had already fallen to the ground and were too dead to die.
If you look closely, you will see that each person has a flying knife inserted between their foreheads, all the way down to the handle.
Yao Pei said calmly: "The imperial court is different from the Taoist sect. There are not so many rules and regulations. Since the imperial court has issued a reward and no matter life or death, then I don't mind getting rid of these people. At this time, I am not a mage of the Taoist sect, but an ordinary righteous man.
For ordinary individuals, it should be done without prohibition. For those in power, it should be prohibited without permission. How to transform these two identities freely requires careful consideration. Are you right, Tianyuan?
"
Qi Xuansu was speechless.
Yao Pei is also a weirdo. Sometimes she calls him Taoist Fellow Qi, sometimes she calls him cousin, and now she calls him his cousin. She is both provocative and wooing, and at this time there is suspicion of acquaintance. What on earth is she going to do?
However, Qi Xuansu also had to admit that regardless of right or wrong, whether it was Zhang Yuelu or Yao Pei, these ambitious women had a set of theories or ideas that they believed in. Unlike him, they had nothing in their minds. Even if he was allowed to do a big job,
The headmaster didn't know what to do.
Long Leshan's face became serious, not because of Yao Pei's words, but because of Yao Pei's flying knife. He never expected that this woman was so powerful.
Yao Pei waved his hand again, and the flying knife was pulled out on its own. There was no trace of blood on the sharp knife, and then it all returned to Yao Pei's hand like a tired bird returning to the forest.
Just at this moment, the Qingluan Guard Baihu and the shopkeeper also appeared from the stairs. They happened to see this scene and couldn't help but be shocked.
Yao Pei said without looking back: "Remember, your government owes me one thousand peace coins."
Qingluan Guard Baihu was stunned for a moment and quickly nodded in agreement.
Then Yao Pei took a step back and made way for Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu strode forward, looked at Longle Mountain, and said slowly: "I don't blame you for what you did. It's just that you are in the world and you can't help yourself. It's my responsibility too, so I hope you can forgive me."
"Good body
I can’t help myself, this sounds like a human saying.” Long Leshan laughed.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped into the air, swept out with one leg, and the strong wind blew against his face, causing the curtains to split in response.
However, Qi Xuansu did not dodge or evade, but simply received the kick with one hand.
Then Qi Xuansu used a little force and pushed Long Leshan back to the original position.
Long Leshan was startled and doubtful, but he stepped forward again, raised his foot suddenly, and struck it down with all his strength like a big axe.
Qi Xuansu still caught the kick with one hand, pushed again, and Long Leshan returned to the original position.
Long Leshan was really frightened.
He originally thought that the fourth-grade Taoist priest who was offering sacrifices to wine was just a person who was in the stage of returning to his true form. After he faced him, even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still escape. However, he didn't expect that this person was actually a heavenly being.
Isn't that a realm that only third-grade Youyi Taoist priests can have? In Taoist circles, third-grade Youyi Taoist priests can be considered big shots.
Qi Xuansu said: "It's my turn."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu punched out with the "Tantai punch intention".
In terms of moves alone, they are not very fancy, but after Qi Xuansu became a heavenly being, his level of cultivation increased greatly, and this punch was able to defeat ten levels with one force.
Long Leshan shouted loudly and punched him.
When the two fists collided, his whole body was shaken as if struck by lightning. It was obvious that he could not withstand Qi Xuansu's strength.
But at this moment, Qi Xuansu suddenly withdrew his fist power and allowed Long Leshan's fist power to impact his body.
Long Leshan opened his eyes wide, obviously confused as to what Qi Xuansu meant by this move.
No matter how Long Leshan reacted, Qi Xuansu relied on his physical advantage to absorb all Long Leshan's punches, then used his "river force" to regenerate his strength and violently pushed Long Leshan out.
After being pushed by Qi Xuansu three times in a row, Long Leshan finally understood. With the force of this push, he retreated as fast as the wind, and the castration was extremely shocking. Before anyone in the Qingluan Guard could react, he had already turned over and jumped downstairs.
Go, disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Qi Xuansu chased after him for a few symbolic steps, leaned on the railing, and said, "This thief is so cunning that he used his strength to escape."
Yao Pei glanced at him: "I'm wasting my words in vain. After all, I'm just a pawn. It's hard to become a great weapon."
