Compared to the last time he left, Zhong Yuanyu has not changed much. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 He still sat upright on the main seat, accepting Yang Tianhong's kneeling, and after patiently listening to his exposition, he looked at Yang Tianhong with extremely complicated eyes, and said slowly: "Cultivation sects rarely have entanglements with worldly views. Do you know why?"

Yang Tianhong nodded: "The disciple understands that it is because of the laws of heaven and earth. ”

Zhong Yuanyu nodded slowly: "That's right, the laws of heaven and earth are ethereal and ethereal, but they are real. So far, we have not been able to find an accurate circumvention rule. However, contact with the world inevitably leads to cause and effect. The power of heaven and earth is definitely not something that ordinary magic weapons can resist. Because of this, the cultivation sect rarely came into contact with the cultivation family, let alone formed an alliance. ”

These words are not intimidation.

In a way, an alliance is no different from a marriage between two families.

The two families who have never been related to each other have become sons and daughters because of marriage. One of the owners is in trouble, and the other must come to the rescue. Monetary and material aid has been used in a steady stream, and in serious cases, even more has to be hauled.

Of course, the other can also sit idly by. But after all, the person involved is related to his own children, and out of pity for his children, he will give more or less support in private.

Even from the most basic point of view, if someone in the other party's family is injured or killed, you have to express it. In short, there are pros and cons to this kind of thing. But for better or worse, it is impossible to predict, and it is difficult to infer a specific future from the clues.

This is just the case of ordinary people in the world. If monks are involved, the pain of injury and illness will evolve into a severe punishment according to the rules of heaven and earth. For example, if a member of the Oriental Family is greedy for money and lustful and robs the people's daughters, if the Oriental Family is mishandled internally and deliberately doted and connived, the punishment of the rules of heaven and earth may implicate the Guiyuan Sect. If someone is forced to death. Even if the wealth of the Oriental family suppressed the matter, the word "fairness" in the world still exists. Even if there is no change in this life, the next life will definitely have an impact on the fortune of the Eastern family.

This kind of thing is extremely delicate. Monks have always believed that more is better than less. For the rules of heaven and earth that may come to you at any time, it is better to be honest and strong yourself, once you ascend to the upper realm, the rules of heaven and earth will not be able to affect you.

on this. Yang Tianhong also has his own understanding.

"The rules of heaven and earth do exist, but the rules of heaven and earth are not immutable. This kind of thing can't just see the bad side. If allies cooperate with each other, the benefits will far outweigh the disadvantages. The disciple had come into contact with the head of the Oriental family, who had a good temperament and great influence among the world. If it is an alliance, my return to the Yuan Sect is equivalent to adding dozens of Jin Dan and Yuan Ying masters. In terms of the collection of disciples, more disciples with good qualifications can also be recruited through the influence of the Oriental family. ”

Zhong Yuanyu still didn't dispel his concerns. He looked at Yang Tianhong. Frowning, he asked, "I understand all the benefits you said." However, things can't just be seen on the bright side. "Blessing is a curse", you also know the truth, and you don't need to say more. Yang Tianhong, you have contributed a lot to the Guiyuan Sect and have repeatedly made contributions, and these things are obvious to all. I also believe that your proposal to form an alliance with the Oriental Family this time is definitely not out of selfishness. This seat only asks you one sentence: The Eastern family is closely related to the world, and the frequency of their initiation of the rules of heaven and earth is much higher than that of the Guiyuan Sect. on this. What do you say?"

It was quiet in the room. The hall masters and Chen Zhengjian all looked at Yang Tianhong with calm eyes. There was no hostility in those eyes, only worry and thought.

"Are the rules of heaven and earth really that terrible?"

After being silent for a few minutes, Yang Tianhong took a deep breath and said seriously: "The disciple thinks that the rules of heaven and earth are actually artificially exaggerated in many cases. Pangu opened the world, and Nuwa created people. It's all about making the world less lonely, and then generating endless life. Monks are also human beings, but they belong to a special category. In the final analysis, the reason why the predecessors of the ancient era formulated the rules of heaven and earth was to balance the strength of the forces. It's not that you want to limit or constrain us. Otherwise, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, ...... There are so many calamities in the world, why don't we see heaven and earth punishing them? Is it true that just because they are heaven and earth, they have a higher and more superior status than us?"

These words were so bold that even Chen Zhengjian, who had always been very arrogant on weekdays, couldn't help but be moved, stretched out his hand to Yang Tianhong and pointed to the sky, and said in a low voice: "Boy, be careful!"

Yang Tianhong smiled and said disapprerovingly: "According to the disciple's opinion, the rules of heaven and earth are actually not as terrible as imagined. It represents an order, not a punishment in the mere sense. We all know that murderers must pay for their lives. However, in the beginning, there must have been no such rule among human beings. Regardless of good or evil, if you kill it, you will kill it, if it weren't for the fact that later generations felt that this situation was unreasonable, this gradually formed the current laws of various countries. ”

Zhong Yuanyu is not a pedantic person. Yang Tianhong's words forced him to fall into deeper thinking, and even produced a brief moment of separation between illusion and reality, and then lost his mind for a moment. The surroundings seemed to be darkened, as if entering a deep night, rather than a normal, brightly lit world. The two completely different concepts collided in their minds, there was no movement, there was a dead silence all around, only Zhong Yuanyu was alone in this illusory world with no boundaries and no objects.

Yang Tianhong's words were like a beam of light that appeared in the distant darkness. Although it is faint, it can make people see that little bit of light.

Cultivators are afraid of the rules of heaven and earth. However, what exactly are the rules of heaven and earth? No one can say exactly.

Some people say that it was the fury and thunder that came down from heaven after the monk did evil.

Some people say that it is a latent energy that gathers the spiritual consciousness of all the people in the world.

Some people also say that it is the remnant of the spirit of the great god who opened the world in ancient times, which is constantly monitoring the world in the void, and no one can see it, let alone the elusive standard of good and evil.

Yang Tianhong's voice slowly drifted from the depths of nothingness.

"The disciple once feared the rules of heaven and earth. But when you think about it, this kind of thing doesn't make sense. Let's not talk about it from afar, look at Uncle Hua, he was originally just an ordinary person with no ability, if it weren't for the invasion of the Northern Captives, Uncle Hua's family should be Hehe Meimei. Abundance and happiness. However, behind the invasion of Chu by the Northern Captives, there was a secret drive from the cultivation world. For those who secretly contributed to the trouble, why didn't Heaven and Earth punish them? Instead, let them go unpunished? Conversely, why did Uncle Hua just kill a few bastards who did all kinds of evil in the world, and he had to honestly bear the punishment of the rules? He was almost kicked out of the Guiyuan Sect. Everyone else thinks that this is the influence of the rules of heaven and earth. But really, is that really the case?"

Yang Tianhong thought about these words for a long time, and felt unhappy: "During the time when the disciple traveled down the mountain, he once did a survey. The disciple has an official status and has used a lot of connections to access most of the civil dispute files of Yazhou County in various prefectures in the past ten years. Discovery: Except for serious crimes such as murder and robbery, the rest of the parts are all land rent entanglements in rural neighborhoods. Without exception, it was the landlords who sued the peasant households for rent arrears. Then the state official pronounced the case file of the repayment of the farmer in court. ”

"Not everyone wants to pay their debts, and a large part of these farmers who owe rent are sued by the landlords because their rents are insolvent and the harvest in the fields is not enough to cover the rent of the year. One acre of land, seventy percent of the rent, and the remaining thirty percent of the grain rice is simply not enough to eat until the next year's harvest season. The peasant households had no choice but to borrow money from the landlords again. One comes and goes. This debt can never be paid off. A discerning person can see at a glance that this is actually the landlord's attempt to tie the tenant firmly. Despicable means of getting something for nothing. However, the peasant households have no land, and they have no choice but to rent land for farming. Do you want to starve to death in vain if you do nothing?"

"Why don't the rules of heaven and earth punish those landlords who sit back and enjoy their profits? Why don't the rules of heaven and earth show mercy to those peasant households who are starved to death? Just because the land belongs to the landlord, it is necessary to protect the rights and interests of the landlord? But have the rules of heaven and earth ever taken into account that those displaced people who have lost their living resources are forced to sell their sons and daughters, houses and land in order to get a bite to eat? Behind all this, isn't there a shadow of the powerful?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Tianhong. Lu Yunguang, the master of the Aoki Palace, had always been good friends with Yang Tianhong, he nodded, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, the rules of heaven and earth are not immutable. Among them, there should also be rules. As long as you find the best and the worst, you can take advantage of it. ”

Yang Tianhong smiled kindly at Lu Yunguang: "The cultivation world is actually similar to the situation in the worldly countries. Haotianmen's cultivation of demonic skills should be the most obvious example of violating the rules of heaven and earth! However, Haotianmen still exists now, and there is no heaven and earth thunder fire that has smashed Haotianmen. Some people may think that the punishment of heaven and earth should come suddenly in the future. But have the people who say such things think that everything in the world has a time limit, and "sin" is no exception. Ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years...... As the people who know the truth gradually grow old, the enemies of the year have disappeared into the loess, and the word "revenge" has become illusory. It is said that "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." "That's bullshit. How many decades are there in life? Why didn't you kill the enemy in the first place? You must wait until ten years later? In this way, let the enemy live in this world for a long time in vain, and even after that, do you really have absolute certainty that you can kill the enemy alive with a knife?"

Zhong Yuanyu felt an indescribable excitement surging in his body, he suppressed the impulse in his heart, and stared at Yang Tianhong with blazing eyes: "......What do you mean?"

"I've been silent for too long. ”

Yang Tianhong couldn't help but raise his voice: "In the Spring Competition, the disciples have seen the comparison of the strength of various sects in the world. Not to mention far away, taking Haotianmen as an example, their strength is about the same as that of the Guiyuan Sect, but in the eyes of outsiders, the strength of Haotianmen is already significantly stronger than my Guiyuan Sect. Why? It's because Haotianmen has set up a wide range of sites in the world, and has recruited a wide range of disciples. Yes, it's not as simple as lip service. This requires elixir and resources. Among the thousands, not necessarily one can build a foundation. Then why can't we increase the scale of accepting disciples and increase the number of disciples of my Guiyuan Sect? When it comes to the word "pill", the restrictions are nothing more than medicinal materials and pill masters. In addition to the cultivation sects in this world, there are also many cultivation families. If they can be integrated one by one and form an alliance, the Guiyuan Sect will invisibly have a lot of help. If I select qualified young monks from within the alliance family, and add the special exercises of my Guiyuan Sect, the strength of the sect will definitely increase by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. When the time comes, don't say that it is the small Haotian Gate, even if it is Taiyi Palace, it will definitely not be the opponent of my Guiyuan Sect. ”

The hall masters who were divided into the surrounding halls were enthusiastically surging by Yang Tianhong's words. Even Liu Xuebing, the master of the Lingshui Palace, who has always been plain and easy-going. He also nodded again and again, his eyes deep.

After all, Zhong Yuanyu is the sect master, and he considers things very comprehensively. Although he was also ignited by those words just now, he still firmly grasped the main point of the problem: "Forming an alliance with a secular family naturally has many benefits. However, the rules of heaven and earth must punish those who disobey. This. How do you explain that?"

Yang Tianhong smiled, he had been waiting for Zhong Yuanyu's question.

"When the disciple was traveling in the mountains, he once heard such a story. In Hezhou, there are three brothers. When they were young, because their families were poor, their parents were forced to borrow from rich people to make ends meet. It was a usury with a rolling interest rate, and it had been lost for ten years and had not yet been paid off. In the end, their parents were forced to death by the rich man. In order to get more money, the rich man brought people to the door to ask for it. Among the three brothers. The boss was loyal by nature, wrote down notes, and was willing to be a slave in the rich man's house forever to offset his debts. The second child took refuge with distant relatives, and the third took a machete from the firewood room with the tablet left by his parents, and disappeared from it. ”

"Five years have passed, and the third child has learned martial arts under the guidance of masters. He took up his sword and smote the rich man's house, and destroyed his house. When he cut off the head of the rich man's son. I happened to meet my brother and elder. The boss was frightened and asked the third child to go to the yamen to surrender. The third child in turn persuaded the boss to leave with him. The two brothers broke down, so the third brother left at night, and the eldest sat in a room full of corpses until dawn, when the villagers reported to the official. The officials took the boss into prison. In order to close the case as soon as possible, the county magistrate sentenced the boss as an accomplice of the bandits and robbers, and beheaded him in court. ”

The second child had to listen to the tragedy of the boss at a relative's house and cry loudly. Since then, the second child has studied diligently. Finally twenty years later, I entered high school. He returned to his hometown with his official position to clarify the facts of the case that year. The rich man's family was convicted of treacherous criminals, and the county magistrate who tried the case that year was also dismissed from his post and investigated. Since then, the reputation of the second child avenging his parents has spread in all directions, and a few years later, the second child was promoted to Beijing and has always achieved the high position of Shangshu. ”

"The third child has been falling grass on the mountain. Perhaps accustomed to killing, he began to aim his knife at the merchants. The third child of the business of murder and robbery has been doing it for 20 years, and has accumulated countless gold and silver treasures. Finally one day, the third child was tired of this life. He bought a piece of land incognito, became a rich man in the local area, married a wife and had children. The third child regretted his previous murder experience, so he adopted orphans in the local area, set up a private school, and vigorously funded poor students. Among the people who have received his favor, there are several Jinshi, and they are also grateful for the funding of the third child, and after returning to their hometown, they specially erected a memorial arch for the third child. Since then, he has confirmed the name of the third "good man". He lived until he was ninety-eight years old, with a full house of children and grandchildren, rich food and clothing, and died without illness. ”

"This story is not deliberately made up by the disciples, the sect master can casually send someone down the mountain and go to Hezhou to investigate. Many people in the local area know this legend. But it is impossible to verify when it originated. ”

"If the rules of heaven and earth really work so well, why was the loyal and honest boss cut off his head by the county magistrate? As a robber, the third child with blood on his hands was blessed with a long life? This is obviously not logical. ”

Zhong Yuanyu smiled faintly, and he looked at Yang Tianhong: "You mean, the rules of heaven and earth can be changed?

"No!"

Yang Tianhong shook his head and said seriously: "The rules of heaven and earth can never be blinded. However, there are many ways to change the final judgment of the rules of heaven and earth. Even if it is the same thing, in the eyes of different people, it is two different ways to solve it. As long as we firmly grasp this key, we can make reasonable use of the rules and restrictions. ”

Zhong Yuanyu's gaze became deeper and deeper, and his voice also had an incomparably strong element of inquiry: "For example?"

Yang Tianhong exhaled lightly and said, "To put it simply, while killing one good person, you must also save the other two good people." As long as one plus one is greater than two, the rules of heaven and earth will not account for the one that has been subtracted. ”

......

Everything is Yang Tianhong's speculation.

Of course, this speculation is based on a large amount of evidence, not unfounded utopia.

During this time in the capital, Yang Tianhong was not idle. Relying on the Meng family's financial resources, he knew a lot of secrets hidden beneath the surface.

For example, Meng Qi, who bets heavily on himself and regards himself as the master, is actually not a good thing.

Meng Qi has a violent temperament since he was a child, and when he was five years old, he threw a playmate of the same age into a well because of a scramble for candy. By the time the adults found out, the child had already drowned, and his belly was bulging, like a alien toad that had drunk a lot of water.

Colluding with profiteers to buy and sell goods, bullying and dominating the market, Meng Qi did a lot of things. This guy even sold the wives and daughters of those who didn't pay their debts into brothels. When doing these things, Meng Qimei said: "The most profitable is to be a successful businessman." (To be continued.) )
