Chapter 45: Seeing the Spirit Mountain

Zhang Yuelu left Beichen Hall and still didn't stop thinking.

Qi Xuansu often said that the more you emphasize something, the more you lack something.

Confucianism has shouted for so many years of hierarchy, but in the end, it still summed up that "the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning". Except for a few families such as Taoist priest Zhang and the descendants of saints, there are even few nobles in the Central Plains who are hundreds of years old. But in the Western Continent, there are thousands of years of family aristocrats at every turn, and nobles and commoners feel that it is a matter of course, who is more hierarchical?

Daomen emphasizes equality, can it really be equal? Can there really be no high and low?

I am the master of the sect, you are the ordinary Taoist, and we are all the masters of the Daomen.

Matter.

The people of the Central Plains speak of moderation.

But it is precisely because the people of the Central Plains are not moderate that they have to talk about moderation. Just like the ancestors of the Taishang Dao Ancestor dare not be the first in the world, all those who have achieved great things must dare to be the first in the world.

In Zhang Yuelu's view, the people of the Central Plains like to do things to the extreme.

Exploitation is squeezed to the extreme, selling children and daughters is not counting, cannibalism is required. Obviously, the people above can alleviate the contradictions by giving away part of their interests, and they can have a glimmer of life, but no, they would rather guard the family wealth and wait for death, rather than leak a little residue from the cracks of their fingers to the bottom, in their opinion, the silver of the white flowers is given to the poor, which is evil.

On the other hand, resistance is also extreme. Rise up and eliminate the evil. If you don't kill the whole family, you won't stop, and even if you kill the whole family, you won't get rid of your hatred, you want to raze the three tribes, punish the nine tribes, and break the bones and scatter ashes. The inner library was burned into splendid ash, and the heavenly street stepped on the bones of the princess.

Neither side leaves any room for choice.

Therefore, it is difficult for the reformists who have always advocated the transfer of interests to end well.

After all, cutting off people's money is like killing their parents.

Will she, a moderate reformist, be able to carry on her ideas?

Hard.

In fact, it is difficult for her and Yao Pei's ideas to be realized, at least in the short term. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu and Li Changge's proposition is relatively easy to realize, after all, a new continent is in front of them, and the difference between the two is nothing more than a question of the degree of intervention and the way of distribution. One mild, one extreme.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei are seeking from within, while Qi Xuansu and Li Changge are seeking from without.

Just like the inheritance of the four, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei are congenital immortals, relying on themselves, Qi Xuansu and Li Changge are acquired immortals, relying on external forces.

Just as Zhang Yuelu was pondering, there was a sudden commotion.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu was on her way home, not the home in Xuandu, but the home in Taishangfang, because she wanted to stop by to see how Qi Xuansu's mansion was decorated.

Although it has been renovated for two years, because the two of them have made some changes according to their own preferences, of course, Zhang Yuelu paid for it, and Qi Xuansu had no money, so it was still not completed. Now it is coming to an end, mainly for gardens and other buildings. Considering that many churches of Westerners are built for hundreds of years, this is also reasonable.

Xu Jiaorong and Lei Xiaohuan also walked with Zhang Yuelu, planning to see the new house of the two, so the three of them were in the same car at this time.

Xu Jiaorong signaled to stop, then pulled up the corner of the curtain and looked out.

A group of people were gathering on Shangqing Street, shouting loudly.

Xu Jiaorong listened for a while, and then lowered the curtain.

"What's going on?" Lei Xiaohuan was flipping through a booklet. With Wufu's hearing, it is not difficult to hear all kinds of subtle sounds around him, that is, the sound of earthworms turning over the ground, as long as he wants to hear it, he can hear it, but most of the time, just like Wufu suppresses qi and blood to avoid revealing the true body of a human immortal, Wufu will close his ears and body and spirit, and filter out most of the useless sounds by himself, that is, he is deaf, as if he is in the wind, otherwise he will have to be driven crazy by countless sounds. So Lei Xiaohuan didn't hear what was being shouted outside.

The same is true of Zhang Yuelu, who is thinking.

Xu Jiaorong replied: "It's not a big deal, a group of people are protesting against the slaughter of Jiaolong in the Daomen, I probably listened to it, and it has risen to the height of the human race, saying that the human race is really arrogant and arrogant, thinking that the world is the master and wantonly enslaving other living beings."

Lei Xiaohuan snorted coldly: "A group of flowerbed Taoists who are full of food and have nothing to do are really comfortable

Yes, Jiaolong doesn't eat talents for hundreds of years, so he will pity Jiaolong. They also enslave other living beings, according to them, the cattle and horses are useless, let them go to pull the mill and pull the cart, what are they doing? If you want me to say, without the protection of the Daomen, without the 'flower gardens, let them fend for themselves, there will be no such leisure."

"Don't say that, it's not good. Besides, isn't this the embodiment of what is called 'civilization?' Zhang Yuelu said.

Lei Xiaohuan said, "Isn't the human race the master of the world today? How is it arrogant? Isn't that true? Besides, when it comes to slavery, isn't it man himself who is most brutally enslaved? To put it mildly, man is still like this to his own kind, and what other creatures are he talking about. These people, the plains of Xipo Continent are dyed white with white bones, they do not sympathize, and the aborigines of the New World are descaled, and they do not sympathize. I sympathize with the dragon and other creatures who are calling for wind and rain, and my heart is about to break, is this hypocrisy?"

Xu Jiaorong said: "This is the truth, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. The problem of food and clothing for so many people has not been solved, the livelihood problem of so many people has not been solved, and it is still a big problem to provide for the elderly.

Lei Xiaohuan said: "To put it mildly, for the development of the Daomen, how many people have died, how much blood and sweat have been paid, it is really a lifetime in the midst of death, these people stand on the basis of their predecessors, enjoy the shadow of their predecessors, but instead accuse their predecessors of blindly seeking development and ignoring the harmony between heaven and man. Without the bones of the dragon to build a flying boat, what can rule Fenglin Continent and Borneo? There are no overseas continents, why should they stand here and protest the slaughter of Jiaolong with dignity? He was sent to the rainforests of Borneo. Which is better between the harmony of heaven and man or the cannibalism of thousands of miles in the red land? Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother."

Xu Jiaorong joked: "It's just a conspiracy of the West, it's not a sin to keep slaves, and eating meat will lead to eighteen layers of hell."

Zhang Yuelu lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, but did not speak.

Both sides have their own reasons.

But in the end, it's a matter of prioritization.

What is the main contradiction?

Man has always been the main contradiction.

Isn't it also the human problem that they are discussing today?

The question of enabling everyone to live better.

In the Lingshan Cave Heaven, after Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao had traveled for three days, the main peak of Lingshan had become closer and closer, strictly speaking, the main peak of Lingshan had begun to disintegrate, so there were many broken peaks, boulders, and building debris hanging in the air, they were not stationary, but were moving at an extremely slow speed, as if they were dust visible in the sun.

Today's world has entered the Tai Chi period, which is becoming more and more real and stable, so even if it is an immortal, it is difficult to move mountains and seas, pick stars and take the moon in the real sense. However, Dongtian is different from the human world, its interior is probably in the beginning and beginning periods, and it is relatively simple to change the environment, and the duration of various "traces" will be longer, as evidenced by these floating wreckage and accumulated thunderclouds.

The closer you get to the main peak of the Spirit Mountain, the more distorted cracks in the space there are, like a net, enveloping the main peak of the Spirit Mountain, making people have to be cautious.

This main peak is the spiritual mountain in the narrow sense, Qi Xuansu has seen it in a dream, but it is very abstract, like graffiti, far less concrete than today.

When it was about three hundred miles away from the main peak of Lingshan, Qi Jiaoyao stopped and stretched out his hand to stop Qi Xuansu: "Further on, it is the prohibition set by Yao Zu. Strictly speaking, this is the original prohibition of the Lingshan Witch Sect, but it was defeated by the Ancestral Heavenly Master, and Yao Zu restored these prohibitions on the basis of it."

"Its essence is like a 'moat', similar to the too illusory realm of Jade Void Peak. However, the Illusory Realm has been closed for years, and you probably haven't seen it. Once you fall into the ban, you will keep repeating the cycle, and if you don't realize that you are in a cycle of infinite loops, you will keep unconsciously repeating the same things, and eventually you will be completely assimilated and you will never be able to get rid of them again."

Qi Xuansu listened to Qi Jiaoyao's explanation

After the release, he immediately remembered what happened in Fenglinzhou, and he had used this kind of magic power to trap him on a moonlit night, and finally relied on Mr. Yin's action to get out of trouble.

Qi Xuansu asked, "In that case, how did you escape in the first place?"

Qi Jiaoyao replied, "Because the Lingshan Cave Heaven itself is already dilapidated, even after Yao Zu's restoration, this strange circle is no longer perfect, there are many flaws, although I couldn't break through, I barely escaped."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Yao Zu set up this prohibition to prevent outsiders, his own people can't always break in and out normally, there should be things like 'keys or permissions.'"

Qi Jiaoyao shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't even know beforehand that Yao Zu had repaired this prohibition. If I had known that there was such a ban, I would have prepared for it rather than rushing into it."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment: "That's it, I have the means to save my life, even if this place traps me, I'm not afraid, let me explore the way first and see if I can try to get there."

Qi Jiaoyao immediately asked a very realistic question: "If you are lucky enough to break through directly, then what should I do? You're not going to leave me alone, are you? We're a lifelong friend."...

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything ruthlessly, we just met in Pingshui, but said, "Then let's break together, if the situation is not right, I will leave the Lingshan Cave Heaven directly, and you will ask for more blessings inside."

Qi Jiaoyao began to fight between heaven and man.

In the end, Qi Jiaoyao gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Let's break together, I bet that you kid is lucky, you can take me through once, but if you can't do it, you can still punch the void." Even if you kid withdraws, I'm not afraid, after all, I've already escaped once, and I'm familiar with the road, and I have an extra 'bone mirror, I will definitely be able to escape a second time."

"Then let's get into battle." Qi Xuansu took the lead.

"There are some things I don't want to talk about, but I still have to explain them to you. Today, I went to the funeral again, because I am not a particularly close elder, so I just attended the funeral, and I don't have to involve too much. It's just a traditional feast, and it's not too early to come back. I feel a little emotional, what kind of year is this, this is the fourth time this year, and there is an elder who has relapsed and metastasized, and it is estimated that time is running out. To be honest, I'm a little numb. In the past few days, there have been waves of unsettled waves, and I really can't stand it. When I came back today, firstly, there was not much time, and secondly, my brain was a little confused, empty, the plot was not advancing, and I didn't know what to write at all, so I would change it."
