148. Capital accumulation in the Holy Land
These three holy places sent disciples down the mountain to establish power, although it sounded like some people didn't understand and couldn't believe it.
But in fact, it is also a well-deniable thing.
Although the two mountains of this temple are called holy places, they are certainly not holy places, and they are only the human realm.
The people who cultivated the ancient martial arts above, from the elders to the disciples, were not saints.
As long as they are normal people, they must eat, drink, and sleep, and the needs of this world have become endless.
Those who cultivate ancient martial arts absorb the vitality between heaven and earth, or it can be called spiritual energy.
Yuan Qi is just Qi, it is a form of energy, but it cannot be transformed into the energy needed for the survival of the human body.
It doesn't matter what kind of realm you have cultivated to, as long as you want to live, you have to eat and sleep to replenish your life force.
This is not a novel of cultivating immortals, he will directly open the valley or something at every turn, and he also said that as long as he absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth, he can live well without eating, and he can even wash the essence and cut the marrow to keep his body pure and smooth.
In normal life, this is absolutely impossible. If a person does not eat, then he does not have the energy to support his life activities, and he will definitely not be able to live.
As long as it is necessary to eat, sleep, and so on, people inevitably want to eat better food and sleep in a better house.
This is the desire that arises from matter. Human beings have seven emotions and six desires, this is the rule between heaven and earth, and even advanced cultivators cannot avoid it.
And greed can stimulate a person to breed more desires.
Therefore, Zhao Lingge thought about it carefully, she felt that with the changes of the times, after a long period of change of people in the Holy Land, many high-level leaders gradually broke away from the shackles of the original dogma.
Perhaps the elders of the older generation are still adhering to the principle of self-cultivation of not interfering with the world and not coveting wealth.
But in fact, most people can't really be noble and proud, and not cause dust.
After they saw the great success of the spirit butterfly, after knowing the rapid development of the spirit butterfly, and after understanding the benefits of worldly power, these mortal hearts that have not been completely extinguished will definitely become excited.
So, they developed their sects in a new way, connecting the secular and the holy places directly or indirectly.
Using this method, Zhao Lingge felt that it was understandable.
Seeing that Zhao Lingge's face did not show scorn and dissatisfaction with the Holy Land, and there was not much change in his expression, Liu Wei smiled on his face and asked casually:
"Haha, Zhao Lingge, do you think there's nothing wrong with the three holy places doing this?"
Seeing Zhao Lingge nodding in confirmation, Liu Wei smiled knowingly, "Of course, the three holy lands really can't make others say anything by doing this. ”
"They send disciples down the mountain to preach, or form forces, or look for outstanding talents, and most ordinary people, when they hear the so-called Buddhism, Taoism, and the majestic righteousness of Shushan, they will show awe in their hearts."
"You say that they rely on this spirit to do good deeds and accumulate virtues and seek survival, but it is really understandable."
"But they're not just that!"
Speaking of this, Liu Wei's expression flashed with hatred, and he was particularly dissatisfied with the practices of the three holy lands.
"Do you know that in order to enjoy themselves, in order to build a hundred golden Buddhas with a row of faces, they accumulate wealth, and they don't just get it by virtue of fate."
"This group of people from the so-called Holy Land will do that kind of superstitious fortune-telling and blessing rituals. This kind of thing, they know that it is useless, but they still violate their conscience and use deception to deceive the people of their money and faith. ”
When Zhao Lingge heard what Liu Wei said, he felt as if he had touched a secret history.
This history is the history of the exploitation of the people in the Three Holy Lands, a history full of blood and filth.
This story may have been buried by the people of the Three Holy Lands long ago, or it has been moved to a dark place where the light does not shine.
If it weren't for hearing the truth told by Liu Wei, a real living fossil, Zhao Lingge would still be like other ordinary people, still feeling that the three holy places are sacred, free, and have human rights.
Of course, Liu Wei's words can't be believed in all, but the truth of only taking three points is not something that Zhao Lingge can imagine.
This really piqued Zhao Lingge's interest.
I saw that she thought deeply for a while, and then asked, "I don't know how they deceive people?" ”
"That's right." Liu Wei opened his mouth and replied: "They will rely on their status as ancient warriors, first choose a target, and then use the energy of the ancient warrior to arrange some strange things around the target, in short, these things can make the target become delirious and insane in the past few days." ”
"Once the spirit of the target has become numb, this group of sanctimonious guys appeared in front of them."
"They just continued to show it with their powerful wrists, making the target feel like it was a miracle."
"The target has been tortured to live rather than die, and now a lifesaver has come in time, and these targets will always unconditionally fully trust these so-called immortals."
"After these disciples once again use the ability of the ancient martial artist to lower their spells and pretend to 'solve' the difficulties encountered by the target, these stupid targets will willingly contribute money, effort, and resources to help the people in the Holy Land live a life of purple and gold."
"This?"
Hearing Liu Wei's series of descriptions, he actually presented a picture of a warlock in front of Zhao Lingge's eyes.
This kind of charlatan often uses this method, using words that seem to be brainwashed on the language to fully trap the target into the trap they dig.
Then, they will rely on some tricks to cheat ordinary people's money.
This approach takes advantage of the asymmetry of information between the two parties, and converts this advantage into a monetary cost.
"Think it's amazing?"
Liu Wei smiled, and continued to have the spirit of preparing to break Zhao Lingge's cognition of the Three Holy Lands, and then explained to him: "Actually, even the forces established by the disciples of the Three Great Holy Underground Mountains have not done anything good. ”
"When they came down from the mountain, they did not take any money. So what's the fastest way to make money? Those bad things, of course. Buying drugs, trafficking in human beings, robbing banks, and so on, and many more egregious things, I will not list them one by one. ”
"In short, because of their identity as ancient warriors, the folk ancient warriors at that time hesitated and did not have a good inheritance, and basically they couldn't fight against the orthodox inheritance of others."
"What is the essence of the Youth Summit, you should know, right?"
"Of course." Zhao Lingge replied, "An underground black organization rooted in the vast area of the southeast. ”
"Yes, that's it, the Qingfeng Summit was created by the people of Qingfeng Dao, this organization turned out to be a black organization, and the business transactions they engage in must have many illegal projects."
"And the Daoist of Aomine is only one of the disciples who went down the mountain. What about the other disciples? You can imagine it! ”
Looking at the seriousness on Liu Wei's face, Zhao Lingge's heart also trembled. She really didn't think of such strange things, and she didn't delve into them.
Now that he understood some of the bloodiness and horror, Zhao Lingge actually felt a little dazed.
Does all the accumulation of wealth have to contain blood and filth?
Zhao Lingge fell into deep thought at this time.
"This is the accumulation of capital, without such dark and bloody bloodshed that penetrates into the bones, why is the control of the three holy lands so extensive now, and why is their holy land so prosperous?"
Liu Wei, as a living fossil that has gone through vicissitudes, of course, wants to be more transparent. "Of course, such a development has not only provided the three holy places with money, manpower, and material resources, but also provided support for their power expansion and extravagant life, but also brought great changes to them."
"What's going on?"
Zhao Lingge is now really glad that there is an old guy who is more than a hundred years old in his team.
This is not only an advantage in experience, but also a great asset in the kind of stories hidden in history.
After all, most people have a desire to explore the unknown. Unknown stories can satisfy people's curiosity, enrich their knowledge reserves, and even have a huge role in improving their worldview.
Full of questions in his heart, Zhao Lingge continued to ask Liu Wei for advice.
"The so-called change is the division of the three holy places."
"Split?" Zhao Lingge asked questions.
"Yes, after each of the three holy places sent their disciples down the mountain, the disciples under the mountain relied on their own strength to create their own forces under the mountain. Among them, in addition to the Qingfeng Daoist Qingfeng, there are many other forces. ”
"Among these many forces, there are three major forces, which are the most rapidly developing and the most powerful."
"These three major forces are evenly balanced, that is, one by one of the three holy lands."
"And in the gradual development of these three forces under the mountain, they have discovered that the three holy lands are actually not qualified to override their heads at all."
"These three holy places do not help the development of these three major forces in any way, and even grab most of the wealth of the three major forces every year, and the people of the three holy places even look down on the people of the three major forces arrogantly and dictate their actions."
"After enduring it for so many years, the people of the three major forces finally can't bear it anymore."
"Therefore, in order to counter the power of the Three Holy Lands, the three major forces have cooperated with each other for a win-win situation, and they have all announced their break with their own families: the Three Holy Lands."
"This is the division of the three holy places."
"Originally, the three holy lands developed rapidly because of the three major forces. The three major powers can occupy one-half of their entire territory, and the contribution of money is also about one-half. ”
"And this split has directly led to the shrinking of the power of the three holy lands, and the momentum of development has been blocked, until now it has become a force that can only be subordinated to one region."
"The three major forces?" Zhao Lingge frowned and didn't think deeply, but he couldn't think of any other forces that could compete with the three holy lands.
Not understanding this question, Zhao Lingge muttered, "Is there any other sect that can compete with the three holy lands now?" ”
"Absolutely."
Liu Wei smiled and wanted to explain.
Before he could speak, Zhao Lingge hurriedly added, "That...... Spirit butterflies are not counted! ”
"Uhhh
This time, Liu Wei was a little speechless, raised his hand and wiped the sweat that had not appeared on his forehead, Liu Wei continued to explain: "I didn't say that it was a spirit butterfly......"
