Regarding the affairs of the Western Regions, Meng Juntong did not know much.

But hundreds of years ago, it was once the most splendid land of an ancient civilization.

It's just that later, due to some natural disasters and even man-made disasters, it has become a chaotic and anarchic field step by step.

Here, almost every few days, a new nation will appear, and at the same time one or more old nations will be destroyed.

It's not that the people of the Western Regions are warlike, but in order to survive, they all need to fight for more resources for themselves, for their clans, and for their countries.

In the Western Regions, there may be no shortage of gold, beauty, or wine, but often in order to compete for a piece of fertile soil or water on the edge of a river, the two tribes can launch a great battle of tens of thousands of people.

In the end, if one side wins, it will also enter a period of decay of the race for a long time to come.

During this period, other tribes often take advantage of the situation to destroy the weaker side in one fell swoop and annex it, without giving the opponent any respite.

At that time, the Western Regions grew under this law of the jungle, in uncultivated chaos and barbarism.

Until the appearance of the Great Bright Palace in the Western Regions, this sect, or religion, which was driven alive by the hundreds of sons of the Central Plains, to the Western Regions, actually took root in this land.

Under the doctrine formulated by them, some countries that had been at war began to unite, gave up disputes, and were even willing to take the initiative to take off the crown, accept the teachings of the Great Light Palace, and become believers in the church.

In less than a hundred years, the Great Bright Palace of the Western Regions became the ruler of nearly half of the Western Regions.

Especially after Lu Weilou became the palace master, this process was significantly faster.

The tribes that had maintained their self-belief were cleared as if they had been swept away by the autumn wind, and the trade between the countries of the Western Regions had almost reached the peak of history.

All factors that might lead to chaos were erased by the Great Light Palace by the simplest and most direct means.

Even later, the conflicts between the clans were no longer resolved by force on their own, but the two sides walked into the Great Hall of Light to ask the supreme palace master to adjudicate the trial.

Human growth requires a long cycle, and it is not like the autumn grass in a freshwater lake, which can regenerate a stubble at a very fast rate after cutting a stubble.

Soon, the countries of the Western Regions also found benefits in this model, and in a relatively stable environment, the development of their respective tribes was rapid, whether it was human or in all aspects, they were many times stronger than in the past.

And the strength of these countries and tribes, in turn, is constantly feeding the Great Bright Palace in the Western Regions.

It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of a Western Regions Great Light Palace is now comparable to the entire Central Plains martial arts.

The second master told the story of the Western Regions, he was a person that Meng Juntong rarely heard of, and called the Heavenly Demon Palace the Great Bright Palace of the Western Regions.

Even Meng Juntong was secretly speculating in private whether this second master would be one of the believers in the teachings of the Great Bright Palace in the Western Regions.

"More than 100,000 people died in one go, which is indeed a very scary number, but have you ever thought that the army of the Central Plains entered the Western Regions. The Western Regions are vast, more than the Central Plains, both in population and country, much larger than the Central Plains, and once the war between the East and the West is really opened, it will inevitably cause a greater uproar.

For example, whether other countries will be involved, whether the forces in the rivers and lakes will fish in troubled waters, whether the pattern of the Central Plains will change, and whether the Central Plains will break out again under the westward expedition of the Central Plains, these are not yet within the scope of calculation.

Just talking about the way to the west, the dead people from the east and the west will definitely not be a simple number of 100,000. ”

Meng Juntong was stunned by what the second master said, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Indeed, according to the second master, Hanguang, Lu Weilou resolved a huge crisis at the lowest cost.

More than 100,000 people died in front of the army of Chu at one time, and the almost total annihilation of everyone in Chu was used as a heavy hammer, smashing the hearts of all the overlords in the Central Plains who intended to get involved in the Western Regions.

"Those 100,000 people did not voluntarily martyr after all, and the life and death of people have never been a bargaining chip that can be used as a bargaining chip! This truth is that I, a person outside of Confucianism, understands, Second Master, how can you convince me with this!" Meng Juntong was much calmer than in the past.

The second master has been guiding her to think about the question of this cost, the so-called value or not, it just varies from person to person.

Those who pluck a hair and benefit the world will not do it, and those who will take a penny and damage the world will not do it.

Everything is one yard to one yard, there is a come, there is a return, life and death are judged, and they should never be swayed by others.

Who is Lu Weilou, he is the head of the Great Bright Palace, even if the believers are like clouds, he is not a god after all.

If he threw his arms and shouted, there were 100,000 people, willing to put on armor and fight for a domain, Meng Juntong would naturally not say anything, and even felt that this Lu Weilou was a hero.

However, he sent his disciples to administer evil medicine and evil magic in order to achieve his own goals.

From beginning to end, he had no respect for the wishes of ordinary people, innocents.

Of course, in the eyes of people like him, what does it matter, those people are like ants in his eyes.

Maybe watching these people worship him every day, the mentality of the palace master in charge of the sect has long been different, he may not regard himself as a mortal for a long time, but a god who can determine the life and death of a person and the survival of a country.

There was a hint of cunning on the second master's face, but then there was a hint of relief.

Meng Juntong suddenly realized something, she stood up suddenly, and yelled at the second master angrily: "You are testing me!"

The second master also got up and gave a Confucian salute to Meng Juntong, which was an ordinary apology: "Xiao Meng, don't be surprised, it's just that my heart is itching for a while, so I want to see how Xiao Xiao's daughter is? Haha, if there is really a mother, there will be a daughter."

There is an almost harsh, stubborn paranoia about the so-called truth, and in this regard, you and your mother are really very similar. ”

The second master said.

When Meng Juntong heard this, his anger dissipated: "So, you just want to test whether I will succumb to the word price that the world values most?"

"There is a part," said the second master, "between the world's choices, most of them are measured by the price, and this is an important problem that we have been trying to guide all along, and the utilitarian wind in the world is becoming more and more prosperous, and if this continues, the world will be lost, and it will be difficult to escape." ”
