Chapter 119: The Rebellion of the People, the Power of Faith

"Half a piece?"

I thought that dragon meat was very valuable, but when I heard that five hundred catties of dragon meat could only be exchanged for half a myelin cleansing pill, Lu Sheng was disappointed in his heart, and at the same time, there was some embarrassment-

After all, he could have thought that these dragon meat could be exchanged for many pills.

"Half a piece is good!"

As if he didn't see Lu Sheng's embarrassment, Lu Hong said from afar:

"A giant creature like Jiaolong has enough flesh to reach a million catties—"

"If you exchange them all, you can exchange them for a thousand myelin-washing pills!"

"Dragon meat is the least valuable thing on Jiaolong's body, and it is already because of the extreme rarity to exchange for so many three-grade pills!"

"Okay!" Hearing Lu Hongyuan's explanation, Lu Sheng thought about it carefully and accepted this reality. After all, although the flesh and blood of a fourth-order demon beast was extremely rare, the third-rank pill was also worth a lot.

Moreover, for many people, between the flesh and blood of a fourth-order demon beast of the same value and the third-grade pill, most people would choose the latter-

After all, the flesh and blood of demon beasts can only replenish essence, but the three-rank pill can increase cultivation!

Only dragon flesh and blood, which has special effects, can be exchanged for some people at a great cost.

"In this way, I will give out a thousand catties in exchange for a myelin-"

"With these, Lu Yunfeng must not come back to entangle!"

After deciding this, Lu Sheng took out a thousand catties of dragon meat and put it in the space bag for Lu Hongyuan to bring to exchange. Then, he put a thousand catties in Luo Liheng's space bag and said to him:

"Don't you want to be an editor? During this period of my retreat, the responsibility of editing martial arts will be handed over to you—"

"I'm going to be promoted to at least the sixth rank after I get out of the customs!"

"Otherwise, even if you eat my dragon meat, you will have to spit it out for me!"

As he spoke, Lu Sheng also glared at Luo Liheng fiercely, thinking of what he had calculated by eating twenty or thirty catties a day before-

Obviously, that's a deception!

Seeing that the 10,000 catties of dragon meat he expected had been reduced to 1,000 catties, and that he was given such a heavy responsibility by Lu Sheng, Luo Liheng sighed and said:

"Seven grades to six grades, you need to compile a hundred martial arts, and a thousand martial arts—"

"Are you going to go into retreat for two or three years?"

According to the rules of Musashi-in, each rank of promotion requires the completion of corresponding tasks. To promote the seventh rank to the sixth grade, it is necessary to compile a hundred martial arts and a thousand martial arts, and all of them must reach the lower grade of the ground level.

Although, because a martial art mostly contains several martial arts, a thousand martial arts do not need to be specially compiled. But with Luo Liheng's current ability, it will take about two or three years to complete this task alone-

That's why he lamented so much!

------------

"Two or three years?"

With a cold snort, Lu Sheng said:

"This retreat, I need two or three months at most!"

"If I don't complete your mission when I get out, I guess you should know the consequences!"

threatened Luo Liheng, Lu Sheng ignored him anymore and said to Lu Hongyuan:

"If I promise some good governance to the people of Jinling County, such as a three-year exemption from taxation, etc., and become a fief, will it be smoother?"

Slightly stunned, Lu Hongyuan didn't seem to expect him to give up such a big benefit, and immediately praised:

"Great idea!"

"In this way, the people of Jinling County will definitely be more active in seeking fiefdoms!"

Although, most of the people living in Jinling County are from the Lu clan in Bingzhou, and there are some people who are related to the Lu clan in Bingzhou. But over the centuries, many feelings have long since dissipated.

It is indeed easier to get support if some good governance can be promised!

"So, can you get them to thank me every day, so that the court can see the public opinion-"

"In this way, the matter of using Jinling County as a fief may be smoother!"

Hearing Lu Hongyuan's approval, Lu Sheng stated his purpose.

That's right, he just wants to let the people of Jinling County contribute to his merits in this way-

After all, it will take a while for the matter of not being able to compete with others and be knighted for the time being, and Lu Sheng wants to gain merit, so he has this idea!

------------

"No! Absolutely not!"

As soon as he said his wishful thinking, Lu Sheng was fiercely opposed by Lu Hongyuan:

"This matter, let alone now, even in the future, must not be implemented!"

"After the rebellion, the entire Dajing Imperial Court strictly forbade this kind of behavior!"

Saying that, Lu Hongyuan still looked at Lu Sheng suspiciously, and said:

"If you hadn't been brought back by the Wanshan Ancestor, I would have wondered if you had obtained any method that could use the power of faith!"

"Don't you know the original cause of the rebellion?"

In the 432nd year of the establishment of Dajing, there was a rebellion provoked by the Cangsheng Sect, and since then it has been in decline. Lu Sheng naturally heard about this matter.

It's just that he doesn't know the cause of the rebellion. It is only now that I can hear some clues from Lu Hongyuan's words:

"Faith willpower, what is this?"

"Could it be that the Cangsheng Sect back then used the gratitude of others to collect faith willingness?"

Looking at Lu Sheng carefully, seeing that he really didn't seem to know, Lu Hongyuan explained:

"Faith is the power that comes from the gratitude and worship of others. It is said to be a universal force. ”

"Back then, Lu Chuanying, the leader of the Cangsheng Sect, used this power to obtain a very high level of cultivation in a very short period of time. ”

"It's just that because of the emotions of others contained in the will, Lu Chuanying finally lost his nature and led the people of the Cangsheng Sect to launch a rebellion, causing the Dajing Imperial Court to lose several great masters, and the entire Lu clan was also hit hard, and since then it has begun to decline. ”

"Therefore, after that, the Dajing Imperial Court strictly restricted this kind of organized behavior of gratitude and worship of a certain person!"

"Many cults, like the Vulcan Sect in the Western Regions, have always been severely cracked down on in the Central Plains!"

Saying this, Lu Hongyuan looked at Lu Sheng, and felt that his reaction seemed to be a little excessive, and said to him:

"However, it is still possible to launch a gathering of some people and let the court see the public opinion!"

"As long as you don't do it often, it's normal!"

Thoughtfully, Lu Sheng said: "Then let's organize it a few times! In short, we must let the imperial court see the public opinion of Jinling County!"

This matter is set on buying the hearts and minds of the people.

And in his heart, he pondered the relationship between willingness, merit, and karma:

According to Lu Hongyuan, although the power of desire is omnipotent, it seems to contain the emotions of others, so it will blind people's nature. ”

And the merits I use don't have such concerns. ”

"Perhaps, the power of desire is also a kind of origin, but it is not as pure as merit!"

"But in any case, the idea that I want to organize some people to thank me every day and gain merit is temporarily shattered!"

If he didn't want to arouse suspicion and attract pressure from the entire Dajing Imperial Court, Lu Sheng couldn't use this method to obtain the power of merit.

"Perhaps, I need to think of other ways to obtain the power of merit!"

Thinking about it, Lu Sheng thought about what his original intention was when he went to the martial arts arena in the morning:

"Perhaps, I can disguise my identity and quietly leave the martial arts to slaughter demon beasts, so that I will definitely be able to obtain a lot of merit and karma!"
