Chapter 53: On the Path at the Top of the Mountain (1)

After Bai Yunzi saw Jiang Chuan sit down, he stared at Jiang Chuan and said nothing.

Jiang Chuan was very uncomfortable and awkward, but he couldn't say anything, just smiled.

Bai Yunzi suddenly looked away and laughed.

The laughter was clear, not harsh, but it was so clear in this quiet night, rolling in all directions like thunder, that the jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests did not dare to make any more sound, as if they were frightened out of their courage.

Jiang Chuan was horrified in his heart, and his body tensed up involuntarily, but with a smile on his face, he couldn't see a hint.

Bai Yunzi put away his laughter, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Boy, don't be so nervous. If the old man had tried to dishave against you, you wouldn't be sitting here now. ”

Jiang Chuan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but said calmly on his face: "The junior just knows that the senior will not be unfavorable to me, so he is willing to come up the mountain." ”

"You're confident, I don't know where you got the courage. But you can come with only one escort, the old man does have some surprises. Aren't you really afraid that the old man will slap you to death? Bai Yunzi stared at Jiang Chuan Dao with burning eyes.

Jiang Chuan Zhengse said: "The predecessor of this Baiyun Sect is not a tiger's den in Longtan, but a famous holy place that the poor people in the world yearn to worship. Although I Jiang Chuan asked myself, I dare not say that I am a saint and a bodhisattva, but I also have some merit for the people of this world, and I am definitely not a wicked person, and I naturally came to this Baiyun Sect. If the predecessor is the kind of person who doesn't ask about right and wrong, and only acts according to personal likes and dislikes, then he will definitely not create the White Cloud Sect. In that case, why should I be afraid? ”

"It's a bit bold. Since the establishment of the Baiyun Sect, the officials and emperors of the imperial courts in various places have regarded me, the Baiyun Sect, as a thorn in their side, and they all want to deal with it quickly. Now that you are the regent, you will become the emperor sooner or later, why do you want to come to see me, do you want to find out the route and terrain, and then send a large army to destroy it in one fell swoop? ”

Bai Yunzi looked at him with a calm expression, but the words he said made Jiang Chuan feel a little chilly.

Not to mention anything else, even Bai Yunzi's laughter just now is enough to be called the top master in the world. If he wants to be unfavorable to himself, Jiang Chuan thinks that he has no chance to escape.

Although his martial arts can also be regarded as a first-class master, he is still in the acquired category.

But Bai Yunzi doesn't know how many years he has been in the innate realm, and his martial arts are already unfathomable, if he wants to kill himself, I'm afraid one finger is enough.

At this time, Bai Yunzi has long lost the enthusiasm and excitement in the daytime, like a child's curiosity, and he calmed down like a towering mountain, although he didn't do anything, but it has already made people have a huge sense of oppression.

But when I thought that if Bai Yunzi wanted to kill himself, he would have done it a long time ago, and he wouldn't have waited until now.

Taking a deep breath hard, Jiang Chuan calmed himself down, looked at Bai Yunzi, and said seriously: "I came to see my seniors this time, firstly, to propose marriage to my seniors, and I want my seniors to agree to marry the embroidered girl to me." Second, it is also for the future of the White Cloud Sect that I want to discuss a feasible path with my predecessors. As for the pathfinder, I'm afraid my predecessors themselves won't believe it. If it weren't for this, the Baiyun Sect would have been destroyed by the imperial court a long time ago, and it would have been able to wait until today. What did the seniors think? ”

Jiang Chuan said that the Baiyun Sect was located in the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains, the mountains were high and dense, the roads were extremely difficult to navigate, and there was no way to go in many places.

Not to mention an army of 100,000, even if a million troops are scattered, I am afraid it will not help.

Moreover, if the imperial court really sent a large army to attack, the movement would be so big, and the Baiyun Sect would have already gotten the news and left.

These 100,000 mountains can be hidden everywhere, and in the end it can only be empty.

It is even more difficult to exterminate it, and it is not much different from ascending to the sky.

In modern society, scientific and technological weapons are so advanced, but it is difficult to completely exterminate those extremist armed elements hidden in the mountains, let alone in the ancient world of agricultural societies.

If the White Cloud Sect wanted to subvert the imperial court, it would be extremely difficult to do so. But if the imperial court wants to exterminate them, it can't do it either.

Bai Yunzi snorted lightly and said: "The embroidery girl is now with your kid, if you don't want to come, even if she is sad, she will go with you in the end." I grew up watching her grow up and know her best. As for the future of the White Cloud Sect, the old man has his own arrangements in his heart, do you still need your junior to talk about it? ”

Jiang Chuan said with a straight face: "Senior, the embroidered girl has no father and mother since she was a child, you raised her and taught her, although she is not a parent, this kindness is better than her parents." I know that she has a deep affection for me, and if I don't want to come, she will never force me. But I know that even if we are together in the end, but we don't get your blessing, she will be very sad and will not be happy for the rest of her life. Since I love her and love her, I naturally want to think about her, make her happy in her heart, leave no regrets, and marry happily. She's happy, and I'm happy. For her sake, and for my own sake, of course I'm coming. ”

Jiang Chuan said what he said from his heart, and he said what he thought, and there was naturally something touching about it.

He has been a human being in two lives, and he has experienced so much, although he is only in his twenties, his mentality has long tended to be mature and stable.

elopement or something can only exist in film and television dramas, and even if there are occasional ones, most of them are not happy.

It is often difficult to be happy in a marriage without the blessing of the family, so didn't Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun go back to see their father-in-law in the end.

If Bai Yunzi can't be dealt with, even if Bai Jinxiu finally marries him, he will leave a piece of heart sick, and it will become a contradiction between the two in the future.

Egawa understands this very well.

Bai Yunzi listened to him, looked at his tone, sincere and serious, not like a hypocrisy, and said after a while: "Count you kid reasonable, the embroidery girl didn't see the wrong person." Then tell me where the future of my Baiyun Sect is? ”

Jiang Chuan knew that the first level was over, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "The original intention of the predecessors to establish the Baiyun Sect is admirable, and it has indeed killed many wicked people and upheld justice for many people.

But in the eyes of the younger generations, the White Cloud Sect is a double-edged sword. If in the troubled times, the law and discipline of the court are corrupt, the officials are corrupt, the bandits are rampant, and the people have nowhere to complain if they have grievances, Baiyunzong will come forward to eliminate violence and peace, and kill corrupt officials and thieves, which is a good deed.

But if the world is calm and the troubled times begin to turn into a ruling world, if the Baiyun Sect still judges who is evil and who is good by its own likes and dislikes, and lynchings others at will, let me ask your predecessors, how do you ensure justice?

How can we ensure that the executioners are selfless?

And how can you ensure that the people you kill deserve their crimes?

In this way, where is the legal system of the imperial court and the authority of the government?

If everyone follows suit, and if there is a dispute and lawsuit, they do not go to the government, but take it upon themselves to lynch by force, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world, and what is the role of the court and the government?

If those treacherous people pretend to be Bai Yunzi to kill innocents indiscriminately and do evil things, then how can Baiyun Sect deal with itself?

The world is vast, and the people are innumerable, how many can the evil Baiyun Sect in this world kill? ”

These words had already been drafted in Jiang Chuan's heart, and after calming down at this time, he blurted out, looking at Bai Yunzi, righteous and stern, the more he spoke, the more excited his tone became, and finally faintly the power of the superior on his body unconsciously emanated, and a series of questions made Bai Yunzi's face solemn, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something but stopped talking.

After a while, Bai Yunzi looked at Jiang Chuan, and said with a solemn expression: "Human nature is evil, even if there is a law judge's office, can you guarantee that those officials and magnates will abide by the law, do not prey on the people, and do not oppress the good?" Even if my Baiyun Sect can't kill all the wicked people in the world, at least it can make the wicked jealous and cold, and even if they do evil, they will have scruples, isn't this the meaning of my Baiyun Sect's existence? ”

Jiang Chuan's thoughts were smooth at this time, and his heart was surging, so he simply jumped off the boulder and said while pacing: "What the predecessor said is good. Human nature is inherently evil, and the moral level of those officials and magnates cannot be expected to be higher than that of ordinary people. On the contrary, these people hold power and resources in their hands, and they are more likely to be tempted and do evil than ordinary people, and they are more harmful when they do evil. I know that very well. ”

Jiang Chuan said this, took a deep breath, calmed down his slightly excited mood, and then continued: "From the day I embarked on the journey, I knew that if I wanted to have peace in the world, I must not hope that the good thoughts in human nature will awaken to achieve peace in the world, otherwise it will be tantamount to a fool's dream and whimsical. ”

When Bai Yunzi heard this, he was already unconsciously attracted by Jiang Chuan's words, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you think can be done to stop the wicked from doing evil and achieve peace and governance?" ”

Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice: "If it is the officials and magnates who do evil, then use strong force as the backing, strict laws as the criterion, and reasonable institutional settings as a barrier to limit the behavior of officials and magnates to the greatest extent not to derail and cross the line, and use severe consequences to make officials feel jealous, and use bottom-up supervision means to make their evil deeds undetected, so that even if corrupt officials and corrupt officials cannot be completely eliminated, most officials will not dare to do evil." ”

Bai Yunzi nodded secretly when he heard this, and asked again: "Then what if ordinary people do evil?" ”

Jiang Chuan said: "If the people do evil, in addition to the naturally wicked people, the rest are mostly forced to do evil for their livelihood. Or maybe it's an impulse and something wrong. For those who are forced to do evil, the court and the government have to find a way to solve their livelihood, which is the root cause.

The so-called warehouse is honest and knows etiquette, and people will abide by the law when they are full of food and drink. For those who make mistakes on the spur of the moment, the law punishes them and gives them a chance to correct their mistakes. As for those who are born evil, they will be severely punished so that they cannot do evil at all. The imperial court should also set up a channel for the people to redress their grievances, accept reports and complaints from the people, and then carefully investigate them, so that the evil deeds cannot be concealed and the wicked can be punished. so that good people will not be wronged. In the long run, can the world not be peaceful? ”

After Bai Yunzi was silent for a long time, he sneered and said, "Throughout the ages, how many Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers have never thought about it like this? But where are those people now? In the end, it is not a cycle of chaos, where the people suffer and wicked people run rampant. Even if you can do what you say you do, how can you make sure that your descendants will think the same way? Do you do it as you do? Speaking of which, it's not a fool's dream. ”
