The gurgling river looks like a silver dragon from a distance, winding forward.
Master Lingbao transformed into a mortal warrior and sat in the cabin of a passenger ship.
"Dear guests..." the boss of the ship shouted in the cabin: "We are about to enter the Shashui River Basin in Liu County!"
"Sand water?" Master Lingbao whispered, then stood up and walked to the deck.
He already knew some general things from the discussions among the mortals on the ship.
Shashui is the core of the so-called "Liu County".
It is also the sacred place of the sacred tree.
It is also the place where the so-called ‘Tianzun’ teaches.
In legend, Shashui is a paradise on earth, a fairyland on earth.
Unfortunately, all he knew was what the mortals on this passenger ship passed down through word of mouth.
The mage has never communicated with these mortals. These days, he is like a silent warrior, meditating with his eyes closed every day, not asking about other people's affairs, and only occasionally listening to other people's opinions.
He didn't want to and didn't dare.
I am afraid that if I ask in person, I will disturb the cause and effect and alarm the holy tree or saint!
Then, this empty shell of him will be exposed to the eyes of the saint immediately!
Therefore, what he knew about the so-called 'Liujun' was limited to what dozens of mortals on the passenger ship occasionally mentioned.
Just stepped onto the deck.
The ship underfoot had suddenly rushed from the river into the basin of another river.
Suddenly, Master Lingbao's Taoist heart moved slightly.
The green lotus-colored flag inside his body even shook quietly.
He couldn't help but follow his heart and took a deep breath.
The sweet, light and comfortable taste immediately fills the nose and makes the mouth and tongue start to salivate!
"This concentration of spiritual energy..." The mage frowned slightly: "Is there a spiritual vein nearby?"
"wrong……"
"How can human spiritual veins release spiritual energy to the outside world all the time?"
"Aren't you afraid of drying up?!"
Since the Emperor Hui Yuan, the fairy mountains have been soaring and the spiritual veins have been hidden.
The spiritual energy in the world began to leak out for thousands of miles.
From then on, only the Immortal Mountain Blessed Land and the Immortal Family Cave Heaven have sufficient supply of spiritual energy!
The lifespan of mortals has also dropped from its high point.
But here, Master Lingbao clearly smelled a very unusual concentration of spiritual energy.
It gave him the feeling that there was a giant spiritual vein nearby, which was releasing spiritual energy all the time.
but……
How can this be?
Wow!
Beside the ship's side, there was a sound of splashing water.
Master Lingbao looked sideways and saw a line of aquarium cubs playing in the river beside the side of the boat.
A few naughty ones even leaned against the side of the boat, splashing water.
Their skin is pink and shiny, their eyes are crystal clear, and there is no trace of ferocity around them. Instead, they look very cute, making people feel pity and joy at the first sight.
It was like seeing a cute human child.
The mage's pupils were filled with shock!
"These Water Tribe cubs..." He swallowed: "They have all been educated!"
The Water Tribe...has actually been civilized!
Master Lingbao closed his eyes.
Education is the supreme virtue of a saint!
The sage benefits the three realms, benefits birds and beasts, and moistens mountains and rivers.
In theory, saints can indeed enlighten all living beings.
Even stubborn rocks, plants and trees can be enlightened and open to spiritual wisdom!
However……
Spiritual wisdom is spiritual wisdom, education is education!
The two are not the same!
Spiritual wisdom is something that all sentient beings have.
Even Asuras are wise and can judge the situation!
But that’s not the case with education!
Enlightenment means etiquette, honor and shame, morality, civilization...
It is a whole system, a complete system.
It’s also Tiandao’s favorite!
Beings who are educated and those who are not educated are two different concepts.
The former is the right way and is orthodox.
And the latter...
Monster, evil spirit, side door!
On the great road, living beings without education will be unable to move even an inch!
Because they are not favored by heaven and earth, they are putrid things and seeds of filth in the eyes of heaven.
If there are no thunders from heaven, it is already the mercy of heaven!
The Wu Clan and the Demon Clan have been reduced to sinful clans in the world. The biggest evidence is that their civilization has been wiped out and their civilization has become extinct!
The water tribe is a branch of the dragon tribe.
Like the dragon clan, the way forward has long been cut off.
From a racial perspective, it is no longer possible for civilization to be nurtured!
Only individuals may have a chance to break the shackles.
But the aquarium cubs in this river are smart, pink and cute.
At a glance, you can tell that they are enlightened beings who have been educated, know etiquette, and understand morality.
This means that someone is spreading morality to the aquarium and educating these stupid creatures!
This requires a lot of energy, probably not even one or two points.
"Who did this..." Master Lingbao murmured to himself, unable to believe his eyes!
Who would be bored and civilize the stupid, barbaric and cruel water tribe?
With this skill, thousands of Taoist seeds can be selected from among the human race.
The cost-effectiveness ratio is not high, and the income is far less than a fraction of educating the human race!
The sailors and passengers on the ship were not surprised by the aquarium cubs.
It seems that they have become accustomed to and accepted the existence of the Aquatic Tribe.
I'm not afraid of the aquatic tribe at all, but rather kind of friendly to them.
This shocked Master Lingbao even more.
Human race, demon race, water race, witch race...
They have been hostile to each other and have a vendetta since ancient times.
The lower you are, the more so!
The human race became the protagonist of the world by stepping on the bones of other races.
There are also countless witch tribes, demon tribes, water tribes, and human tribes who devour and share the food.
In the prehistoric times, the ancestors of the human race were even snacks for the witch and demon tribes.
Until now, cannibalism has almost become the instinct of the demon and water tribes.
Just like human monks, when they see monsters and water tribes, they can't help but hunt them and skin them to refine treasures.
Moreover, killing and suppressing the demon clan, water clan, wizard clan, and even the human clan king is one of the missions.
Why is it different here...here...?
Master Lingbao looked at the merchant ship.
He knows, and has always known, that most of the sailors and guards on this ship are mortals, and at most they know a little bit of martial arts.
As for the aquatic animals in the water, most of the ones swimming around are young.
But who knows...
What kind of ferocious, cruel, and bloodthirsty water tribe hides in the water veins?
Why do the mortals on this boat seem not worried?
"Is what they say true?" Master Lingbao couldn't help but think: "This 'Liujun' really achieves the equality of all living beings? The human race, the demon race, and the shaman race, coexist in the same place and become one family?"
!”
"How is this possible?!"
Not to mention the endless hatred between the human race, the water race, the demon race, and the witch race!
Just how to bring together these ethnic groups with different births, different habits, and different identities.
Let them accept each other's presence.
Especially for humans to accept it!
What this requires must be an orthodoxy that transcends the orthodoxy of all saints!
A great idea that can unite all races and win recognition from the human race!
Master Lingbao, I can’t think of anything.
There will be an orthodoxy that is compatible with the human race, water race, shaman race, and demon race at the same time.
Jiejiao, who was at the height of his power back then, probably couldn't do it either!
"Who's here?"
"Who is the so-called 'Tianzun'?"
With these questions, Master Lingbao returned to the cabin calmly.
He told himself in his heart: "I am mute!"
Can’t ask!
Can only watch!
Otherwise, you may be discovered!
Under the shroud of the holy tree, all cause and effect cannot be escaped!
If you are not careful, the green lotus colored flag in your body will be perceived by others!
Here, there is a behemoth that is compatible with the human race, demon race, water race, and wizard race!
…
Two days later, the ship finally docked at a pier.
There is a plaque on the pier.
"Pingyuan Port!" Master Lingbao looked at the words on the plaque and knew that this was the destination.
The sailors on the ship have already begun unloading the cargo.
Unload boxes of cargo from the ship.
A lot of them are spices!
From Ba, from Chu, from Cai...
Master Lingbao then followed the other passengers and walked off the boat.
Walking onto the pier, the mage looked up and saw a wide road at the end of the pier.
I don’t know what materials were used to build the road, but it is extremely smooth.
Following the crowd, we just walked out of the pier.
Master Lingbao's eyes suddenly froze.
Because he saw a plaque on the side of the pier exit.
There are thin things stuck on the plaque.
There seems to be writing on it.
The mage walked over curiously and looked at what was on it.
"Public Notice Area of the Pingyuan County Committee of All Living Beings?" Master Lingbao saw the words at the top of the plaque and thought about it. He seemed to have vaguely heard that the official name of this place was the "Committee of All Living Beings".
It’s a pity that I don’t understand its meaning!
He looked down and saw a piece of ordinary material of unknown material affixed to the plaque.
On it, using a writing method that Master Lingbao was not used to, one thing was written from left to right.
At a glance, the mage's brows furrowed even more.
Because there is everything here!
There are trivial civil matters, such as deciding to build a windmill in a certain place, or deciding to build a road in a certain place.
There are also things that make the Master's heart tremble.
For example, this article.
"Announcement of the general election of the Shili Township land..." the Master read the contents softly.
"Zhang Daniu, a landowner in Shili Township, has completed his term this year. It has been approved by Pingyuan County People's Committee and reported to the "Land Management Committee" of Liu County People's Committee for approval. According to the resolution of the people, it is hereby scheduled to be held at the Shili Township commune on August 20th.
, an election will be held... Anyone who is a resident of Liu County, has lived there for three years, and has not violated any law or discipline, can sign up to run..."
"land?"
"election?!"
Master Lingbao’s Taoist heart was shaking.
His chest rose and fell.
Mortals, choose gods?
Are you kidding!?
Foolish mortals choose gods?
If so, then where does the power of gods come from?
Mortal?
Also, what is the term?
Does God also have a term of office?
If so, what about the stars? Where is the king of stars?
Pushing up further, what about the five elders from the five directions? What about Tai Sui from the four directions?
What about the four emperors?
Jade Emperor? Queen Mother of Yaochi?
If these things flow into Xiniu Hezhou, will the sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou also have thoughts?
Want to choose a host, Buddha?
Even Vajra, Arhat, Dharma Protector, Bodhisattva?
If so...
Master Lingbao, I feel like my throat is smoking.
"Aramu! Aramu!"
His chest rose and fell violently.
I almost broke the plaque in front of me with one punch!
It took a lot of effort for him to finally hold it down.
But the fear in my heart could no longer be increased.
However, this is just the beginning!
As soon as his eyes moved, he saw an announcement that made his hair stand on end and made the hairs stand on end all over his body.
"Liaojun Committee of Living Beings' Letter to All Living Beings"
"The Duke of Lu in Qufu committed heinous crimes...the Duke of Lu killed all the people..."
"After being reported to Tianzun for approval, this committee announces the following..."
"Anyone who has been harmed by the Duke of Lu, and anyone who has relatives or friends who have been harmed by the dignitaries of the State of Lu..."
“Everyone can bring relevant evidence and report it to the local committee nearby!”
"We will investigate carefully so that no one will cry out for injustice and no revenge will be avenged!"
"After the collection of criminal evidence is completed, we will hold a public trial meeting for all people in Liucheng!"
"Examine the crimes committed by the Duke of Lu against the people and sentient beings one by one in public..."
When Master Lingbao saw this, his fists clattered.
public trial?
Are mortals putting the duke on trial?
Moreover, it looks murderous!
What do mortals here want to do?
Rebellion?!
This is a blatant challenge to Western orthodoxy, and it is also recognized as a provocation to Western orthodoxy!
"Troublesome people! Rioters! Mob!"
"All living beings here may have to use red lotus karma fire to wash their souls and flesh carefully!"
The Western way talks about equality.
But the key is patience.
Suffer in this life, enjoy happiness in the next life!
I committed sins in my previous life, and I will pay for them in this life.
Therefore, the five aggregates are always suffering, so they become empty and empty.
But what if mortals don’t want to endure and surrender?
Just like the human race in the past, at the end of the Human Emperor's reign.
A flood of mortals came from all directions.
They shouted curses and refused to turn around.
The Holy Dynasty collapsed, the Nine Cauldrons fell to the ground, and the Human Emperor fell!
That scene not only frightened the Three Saints of Xuanmen, but also made the West shudder.
Therefore, suppression came one after another after the great tribulation.
In a sense, the current layout of Nanzhan Continent still has the shadow of the saints.
Master Lingbao knows this very well.
Because he was the one who experienced it.
A person who has experienced the combination of Chanjiao and the West.
During the Great Tribulation of the Gods, all the saints joined forces to deal with Jie Jiao.
Even at the expense of dragging all the disciples of Jiejiao into a catastrophe, he also has the consideration of suppressing the human race.
The human race...can't be too strong!
Their backbones cannot be too hard!
To tame! To discipline!
Otherwise, the saints’ path and fruits will never be transcendent!
Think of the human emperor’s calamity! Think of those mortals who shouted, ‘The days are mourning, and you will all perish’.
No one wants to face such a mortal again.
But Jiejiao does the opposite!
Not only did they not suppress the human race.
Instead, he expanded his teachings and spread Taoism. Wen Zhong, a disciple of the Jie religion, even colluded with the King of Shang and did not respect ghosts and gods or worship immortals.
How can this happen?
Therefore, before the great catastrophe, the saints of various religions already had the intention to join forces!
This is the truth about how the Saint of Jiejiao had to fight one against four!
He harmed the core interests of All Saints!
No saint is willing to face the Human Emperor Tribulation again!
The Nine Cauldrons fell to the ground, the Human Emperor died, and the Holy Dynasty collapsed.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave ever since.
"I want to see who...is spreading such evil ways here!"
The anger in Master Lingbao’s heart can no longer be suppressed!
Because he knows that the orthodoxy here is a monster!
If it successfully expands to every corner of the southern continent.
Then, Nanzhan Buzhou will never have the foundation for the rise of Western religious Taoism!
