1768 Legend of the Gods

At the beginning, Ye Yi thought that the Ye family brothers were relics of ancient powers, but now, after so many ups and downs, Ye Yi can be sure that the Ye family brothers themselves are some kind of ancient power, and the cultivation realm and the red dust realm have not been completely separated until the last two thousand years.

"The War of the Gods has changed the human world a lot."

Ye Wei said, "Before the War of the Gods, there was no absolute boundary between the Red Dust Realm and the Xiuzhen Realm, life and death could be in the same world, and the Red Dust and the real people were always mixed together, and the people at that time believed in all the things they could believe, and at the same time they were afraid of all the things they could fear. ”

"Then why is there a war of gods, and why is it necessary to separate the worlds of humans and immortals?"

"Because humans and immortals live together, it is not beneficial to humans and immortals."

Ye Xin said, "Although the Hongchen Realm and the Xiuzhen Realm look down on each other now, but at the beginning, the estrangement between Hongchen and Xiuzhen was not as heavy as later generations thought, Hongchen worships the gods, and the immortals like Hongchen, it is a primitive and ignorant and pure world." ”

"Primitive Ignorance and Purity"

If it weren't for his own experience, Ye Yi couldn't believe that so many contradictory words could be put in one place, but the change in the world is indeed obvious, the once sincere is now only chaos, and the once open and honest is now only countless calculations and scheming.

No one is still nostalgic for the past, or rather, no one feels that they should be nostalgic for the past.

"The reason for the outbreak of the War of the Gods, is it the tyrant king?" Ye Yi asked.

Historically, he was an intolerable and brutal monarch, but modern archaeological discoveries have shown that he may not have been as cruel as most people think, and further research has shown that he was actually a monarch in his time who was close to modern people.

"The cause of the War of the Gods has nothing to do with tyrants."

Ye Xin said, "Di Xin is actually a very good talker, of course, according to the moral standards of modern people, he is indeed a tyrant, after all, there were no human rights in that era, human rights were limited to nobles and free people. ”

"I understand that." "It's impractical to talk about morality and human rights with people from the slave era," Ye said. ”

"Tisin has been trying to change his time, he has realized that slavery is not much good for the country, and he understands that excessive theocracy can interfere with the functioning of the state, but his reform has been met with resistance from all over the world, and of course, the world I say is the known world of the people of that era."

"Hmm."

"Di Xin rebelled against his time, and many of his ideas were noble even according to the moral standards of modern people, after all, he was the first Shang king willing to promote slaves and give them the status of free men, of course, the rule of the Shang Dynasty was still barbaric, and sacrifice was still a very important part of their lives."

Ye Xin said: "Because he was too eager to change the rule of the Shang Dynasty to a system where slaves did not exist, and at the same time did not dare to offend the theocratic power too much, he chose to promote slaves internally, wage war externally, and fill the aristocratic losses caused by the lack of slaves with prisoners of war." ”

"He's so bold."

Ye Yi could guess what happened next.

The aristocracy did not accept the Shang reforms, they could not tolerate the elevation of the status of slaves, and they were not satisfied with the compensation given by the Shang for prisoners of war, and civil strife broke out.

The countries surrounding the Shang Dynasty were frequently harassed and invaded by the Shang Dynasty, and the young and middle-aged became slaves and began to have a sense of crisis, so these neighboring countries were tied together to break the rule of the Shang Dynasty from the outside.

"He was a very hard worker, but his reforms transcended his time and became a talisman for the dynasty."

Ye Xin said, "As for the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty essentially followed the ruling style of the Shang Dynasty, but they also learned the lessons of the Shang Dynasty, slowed down the speed of reform, and killed the most opposed nobles in the name of dynastic change, and at the same time built a new theological system, and finally cut off the ills of the Shang Dynasty bit by bit in hundreds of years." ”

"From this point of view, isn't Shang an ambitious figure like Emperor Yang of Sui, but he accidentally surpassed his times and was swallowed up by the times."

Ye Yi's views were unanimously recognized by Ye Xin and others.

"You're right, he did the right thing at the wrong time, and was wrongly judged to be evil in the end," Ye Xin said, "but he is actually a person who works very hard to maintain the normal order of the country." ”

"But it's also unfortunate."

Ye Yi added.

Ye Yi had already guessed the identities of Ye Yi and Ye Xin, and when he heard this, he smiled, and said, "The follow-up archaeology should give them a relatively fair answer." ”

"I believe it will."

Ye Yi sighed, and then said to Ye Yi, "Do you know when the history of the Ye family can be traced?"

"This statement of yours makes me feel uneasy." Ye Yi said bluntly, "Could it be that the history of the Ye family has some other things?"

"You can understand it this way."

Ye Jian smiled and said, "The Ye family is not an ordinary cultivation family. ”

"A family that can last for thousands of years, that may be ordinary." Ye Yi said, "Can they first be traced back to the time of the Yellow Emperor?"

"Strictly yes."

"It turns out that I am also a member of an ancient family that has continued from the time of the Yellow Emperor to the present, no wonder they all say that the descendants of Yan and Huang are descendants."

Ye Yi laughed at himself.

Ye Wei "The Ye family is actually very long and ancient, but like all ancient families, the Ye family is very arrogant, and even a little unbeatable"

"That's for sure," said Yey, "almost all the big families have this problem, they are arrogant and inviolable, but in fact they are just a bunch of dolls of the times." ”

"The problem is that the times don't see it that way."

Ye Jian sighed and said, "The times recognize their domination and modification of the world, and even in the War of the Gods, they have outstanding performances. ”

"Outstanding Performance"

Ye Yi felt unwell inexplicably.

Ye Ji: "Don't use the morality of modern people to measure the people of that era. ”

"I know, but I'm still"

Ye Yi thought for a moment and decided to accept the reality, "Later, what happened after the end of the War of the Gods, the division between the cultivation realm and the red dust realm should not be complete, otherwise there would not be so many legends of encountering immortals." ”

"It is impossible to completely divide it, but after the split, it will indeed lead to too much, and in the end, the cultivation realm can only formulate corresponding rules and regulations to prohibit too much interaction between the red dust realm and the cultivation realm."

Ye Jian sighed, "But now, no one can continue to abide by the ban." ”
