Chapter 396: The Decency of a Cultivator
Since Li Shude, who is the lord of the Tang Dynasty, nodded, then the construction of rail transit will naturally be launched without any resistance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Perhaps, some ministers of the DPRK and China, whether out of public interest or self-interest, have some objections to Li Shude's "big gamble". However, Yuqingzong is now in the limelight, and when he hears that this matter has something to do with Yuqingzong, who would dare to say anything different from him!
In particular, the Yuqing Sect also said that it would send cultivators from the sect to participate in the construction of the entire project, which had actually greatly reduced the pressure on the Tang Kingdom. Therefore, if Li Shude loses the bet, it will only be one more stain on himself, and it will not cause too much turmoil in the Tang Kingdom.
It's just that people who know about this also feel very strange, it seems that this cultivator has participated in the construction of secular mortals for the first time since ancient times. Haven't cultivators always been high up and regarded mundane mortals as ants and mustards? Why did they not only come down from heaven this time, but also did what mortals thought was a very low-level hard work!
But in any case, the construction of rail transit in Datang Kingdom, with the establishment of the new department "Datang Transportation", will start without delay for a moment.
Of course, although Ye Zan's goal is to build a rail transit network connecting all parts of the country in the Tang Kingdom, it is impossible for all lines to start construction at the same time. Therefore, the first thing to start construction in the plan is a main trunk line running through the north and south of the Tang Kingdom, which can be regarded as a model for the whole of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the main line is completed and opened to traffic, anyone whose brain has not been kicked by a donkey can see the benefits of such a new type of transportation.
With the start of the construction project, Cheng Liangqi and other ancestors who came out of the small world of Immortal Palace were also busy under the leadership of Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao kept going back and forth to Yuqing Sect, got the integrated track foundation manufactured from Ye Zan, and then went to the construction site of the Tang Kingdom, and assembled and fixed it on the ground that Cheng Liangqi and others had tamped and leveled. And the work of Cheng Liangqi and others is more complicated, it is really necessary to open holes in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and do all kinds of things.
Cheng Liangqi and the others made a move, and the movement was big, not only during the construction, but more importantly, the vibration in the hearts of the cultivators of various sects. A dignified cultivator actually participated in the construction of mortals, and he was still doing this kind of low-level coolie, where did he put the face of the cultivator?
You must know that even if a cultivator builds his own sect, some ordinary buildings are also handed over to mortals to do, and no one will do it himself regardless of decency. It is only for some buildings that require additional mana power, such as the construction of Asgard, that cultivators will do it themselves. On the one hand, mortals can't do that, and on the other hand, what requires mana is equivalent to refining weapons, so as not to lose the dignity of a cultivator.
That's right, it's a matter of decency.
In this world, cultivators are like the highest nobles, and they need to be feared by mortals. It is said that in the earliest days there was a story about a monk who lived in the world and revealed his magic to mortals, so many mortals brought their children and wanted the monk to take them as disciples. Of course, this apprenticeship is not so simple, it depends on the qualifications and the character, etc., so the cultivator rejected the request of those mortals. As a result, those mortals who were in a hurry to become corrupt scolded outside the monks' doors, and threw all kinds of filth into the courtyard. In the end, the cultivator had no choice but to flee back to the mountains in embarrassment, after all, he could not kill all those mortals.
No one can prove the truth of this story now, but the description of human nature in it is not made up, but it may be a bit extreme. In fact, the manifestations of those mortals are also present to cultivators, but they may manifest themselves in other forms.
However, this story also illustrates one reason why ascetics should make mortals fear themselves. Why did those mortals dare to treat that cultivator like that, because they didn't have reverence in their hearts, and they knew that no matter how great the cultivator's ability was, they wouldn't do anything to themselves?
In this Shenhua Realm, it doesn't mean that there are no cultivators who do things for mortals, but even if they are just cultivators who build the foundation realm, they often have an extremely high status, and ordinary things don't dare to bother them at all. In addition, I want to say that the Qi Refining Realm cannot be called a cultivator, in the eyes of secular mortals, he is just a martial arts master, after all, the people of the Qi Refining Realm can't even cast the most basic spells.
Even the royal family is considered to be the highest class in the world, but the cultivators are still working as elders in their place. Those who worship the elders enjoy the offerings of the royal family, but often only the royal family will act when they encounter the threat of other cultivators. Even, like any dynasty change, the current royal family is about to be overthrown, and those worship elders will not make a move, but sit back and wait to enjoy the worship of the new royal family.
This is the decency of a cultivator, and a means of making mortals fearful.
And now, the Yuqing Sect actually broke this unspoken rule and sent cultivators to participate in the construction of mortal beings. Moreover, they are all Yuanying Ancestors, even in the cultivation world, Yuanying Ancestors are also extremely statused, and a Yuanying Ancestor can support a third-rate sect. Now these ancestors are doing things that are very low-level among mortals, selling coolies to open mountains and build bridges to level the land, where is there still a little bit of the decency of cultivators!
Finally, several sects in the territory of the Tang Kingdom united to find the door, led by the Ziyang True Monarch of the Ziyang Sect.
"Wu Zhangjiao, these things that your sect has done recently seem to be a little inappropriate!" After some politeness, Ziyang Zhenjun said with a serious expression.
"Oh, I don't know what Zhenjun said?" Although Wu Changsheng had already guessed, he still pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"Doesn't the Wuzhang Sect know? Now, several elders of your sect actually didn't care about the dignity of the cultivators of our generation at all, and did such a crude thing for the mortals of the Great Tang Kingdom, shouldn't your sect give me an explanation?"
This Yunding Sect is still quite far away from the Yuqing Sect, strictly speaking, it is already outside the realm of the Tang Dynasty. The land of the extreme west is just a general term, and there are actually several countries, among which the one bordering the Tang Dynasty is called the Western Liao Kingdom. The sect of the Yunding Sect is between the Western Liao Kingdom and the Great Tang Kingdom, and most of the continuous Yunding Mountain Range is in the Western Liao Kingdom, and only a small part of it has penetrated into the territory of the Great Tang Kingdom.
Of course, for monastics, the worldly realm has nothing to do with them. Therefore, even if the incident of the Yuqing Sect happened within the territory of the Great Tang Kingdom, it does not mean that those sects outside the Great Tang Kingdom have no right to speak.
This time, in addition to the people from the Ziyang Sect and the Yunding Sect, there are three other second-rate sects, namely: the Tianhe Sect located in the southeast of the Tang Kingdom, the Xuanfa Sect located in the northeast of the Tang Kingdom, and the Vientiane Sect located in the north of the Tang Kingdom.
These five second-rate sects are actually not in the territory of the Great Tang Kingdom, and they are also touched by the Yunding Sect and the Ziyang Sect and the Great Tang Kingdom. However, these five second-rate sects are the five closest sects to the Yuqing Sect in addition to the Qingyue Sword Sect.
Therefore, this time, the people of the Five Sects came to the door, apparently for the sake of the dignity of the cultivators, but in fact, they also saw the development of the Yuqing Sect, and they were a little unable to sit still.
You must know that as the momentum of the Yuqing Sect is getting stronger and stronger, and its influence is also expanding, it is impossible to say that it has no influence on other sects. Although, the Cultivation Sect will not occupy territory like mortals, nor will it carefully divide the sphere of influence of each sect. However, the territory is so big, and if your sphere of influence is large, it will inevitably lead to the narrowing of the scope of influence of others. The size of the influence also determines which sect some geniuses or talents with better qualifications will be more inclined to choose.
At the beginning, when the Yuqing Sect was still a third-rate sect, it was competing for territory with third-rate sects such as the Jinguang Sect and the Wuzhu Sect, and the scope of influence was just a few mansions. But now, the Yuqing Sect is already a second-rate sect, plus the four Great Demon Kings have joined, and ten Yuan Infant Ancestors have joined behind, this effect is simply like a flying sword. And the scope of influence of the Yuqing Sect also expanded step by step to the entire territory of the Tang Kingdom, and then expanded to the territory of these five sects.
In this way, where can these five sects still sit still, can they just watch as the geniuses who should have worshiped their own sects have become disciples of the Yuqing Sect? However, no sect alone dares to confront the Yuqing Sect head-on. After all, of these five second-rate sects, only the Ziyang Sect has two primordial powers, and the other four sects each have a primordial god power.
So, the five sects communicated with each other, and it happened that Yuqingzong had made such a big deal this time, and decided to take this opportunity to give Yuqingzong an eye medicine.
The Five Sects didn't expect to be able to force the Yuqing Sect to make much concessions, after all, even if the five of them joined forces, it would be impossible to really do anything to the Yuqing Sect. What's more, everyone is a righteous sect, if you really tear your face, not to mention that you can't get any benefits, it won't look good to others.
Hearing Fuyun Zhenren's words, Wu Changsheng smiled faintly, stroked his beard and said, "What are these words, my Yuqing Sect sent a few elders out, naturally there is an arrangement from my Yuqing Sect." As for the things that I did to help the Tang Kingdom, it was just that I couldn't bear too many civilians to suffer, this is a meritorious thing that people in my righteous path should do, how could I lose my dignity!"
"How can Wu Zhangjiao confuse right and wrong in such a way! Cultivators like us transcend the mortal world and do not fall into the red dust, not only to avoid the entanglement of cause and effect between the world, but also to follow the way of heaven. Now, the elders of your sect are brazenly interfering in the activities of mortals, this is against the heavens, how can it be done by people in my righteous path!" Fuyun Zhenren said righteously.
At this time, Ye Zan was also beside him, and when he heard the words of the real person of Fuyun, he was stunned for a moment, and he only felt that these words were so familiar. He thought about it carefully and quickly found the answer, the meaning of the other party's words turned out to be similar to some remarks in the technology world.
It's just that similar rhetoric in the world of technology is often used on animals. For example, you can't save an antelope from a lion's mouth just because you see it cute, and the lion will starve to death. You can't just because you see a lion injured by a bison, you go up and treat the lion, not to mention whether the lion himself will be cured, even if the lion dies, it is still following the laws of nature and should be eliminated.
Is this a statement right? In fact, no one can give an answer that can really convince everyone. There is a saying that the very existence of human beings has already had an impact on nature, and perhaps saving an antelope or a wounded lion is just a correction of human beings' own influence on nature. But there is also a saying that the very existence of human beings is the result of the normal operation of the laws of nature, so all the good and bad activities of human beings are just a part of the laws of nature.
However, these two statements, to sum it up simply, are that one places human beings outside of nature, and the other places human beings in nature.
And now, what this Fuyun True Man said to the worldly mortals was somewhat similar to the first one. He obviously regarded mortals as animals in the laws of nature, and felt that cultivators like him were beings who were above the laws of nature.
"Fuyun Zhenren's words are wrong. Ye Zan shook his head and smiled.
"Oh, Elder Ye, doesn't he have any lofty opinions?" Fuyun Zhenren looked at Ye Zan, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a little disdain. After all, the person who is speaking here at this moment is either the power of the primordial gods, or the primordial ancestors. If Ye Zan wasn't an elder of the Yuqing Sect, how could he have a little Jindan Sect Master here.
"Gao Jian didn't dare to be, but he listened to the words of the real person, and he had a little doubt in his heart, and asked the real person to explain his doubts. Ye Zan said with a smile.
"Elder Ye, please speak. Fuyun Zhenren leaned sideways and arched his hand to Ye Zan very casually, looking quite perfunctory.
"The real person just said, how to follow the way of heaven, how to go against the sky, I don't know how the real person knows, what does this way of heaven think?" Ye Zan didn't care about the other party's perfunctory, and asked his own question with a smile.
The so-called "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain", if you want to see a mountain completely, in fact, it is not enough to climb to the top of the mountain, only flying in the sky can you see clearly. If you want to know what the Heavenly Dao is, you have to be above the Heavenly Dao, or "jump out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements."
And in today's Shenhua Domain Realm, there are no even earth immortals, who can be above the Heavenly Dao. Even if it is an ancient true immortal who established the Immortal Court and claimed to be acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, it cannot be said that it is truly above the Heavenly Dao. Fuyun Zhenren is only in the realm of Yuanying, how can he conclude that this is to follow the way of heaven, and that is to go against the sky.
Hearing Ye Zan's words, Fuyun Zhenren felt quite simple at first, but he couldn't spit out a word just when he was about to open his mouth, and the more he thought about this question, the more he felt that what he was about to respond to was wrong.
