Passing through Datong Section 2, Shangqing
Datong is a kingdom of strict laws and hierarchies.
Compared with the freedom advocated by the Spring Kingdom, Datong focuses more on the etiquette system. As a Haikou city, Yancheng has been open to the people, but the overall design of the city is still very simple.
The buildings are basically black, white and gray, and it is rare to see bright colors.
On the streets, women are allowed to move around, but they are rarely accompanied by men. In Datong, a woman is not allowed to get too close to other men before she gets married. This is very different from the "freedom of love" pursued by Harukuni.
Walking around the streets at will, Si Dao felt the difference between Datong and Chunguo. This surprise is the difference between the supernatant and the acacia.
Acacia pursues freedom. Shangqing pays more attention to self-restraint. Acacia recognizes equality. Differences in supernatant recognition grades. Hehuan pays attention to love and then forgetfulness. Shangqing recognizes the existence of affection, but pursues ruthlessness. Shangqing disciples do not restrict marriage, but many Shangqing disciples are lonely all their lives. In this respect, it is almost similar to Buddhism.
Acacia was born. Shangqing accession to the WTO. Like the Mo Dynasty, the Shangqing Dynasty had direct jurisdiction over the "Datong" state.
Unlike Mofu, Shangqing did not participate in the jurisdiction of all mortal affairs. Datong is divided into regions by province. Each province is in charge of the Yutan seniors. There are counties under the province. Each county town was administered by a monk of the foundation. Each county seat was managed by Qi Refining Cultivators. The specific business is still carried out by mortals.
Under the above system, there will be no shortage of people in the Shangqing Gate. Therefore, the entry conditions of the Shangqing Sect are not as harsh as those of Hehuan.
Under this system, the immortals of the "Datong" country can be seen everywhere. The status hierarchy is clear and distinct, and the immortal cultivator is the ruler, and the status is far beyond that of mortals.
Hehuan disciples are not allowed to participate in family affairs, but Shangqing disciples can directly manage family affairs. In this way, when a Shangqing disciple appears in a family, its status will rise steadily. All in all, the surprise of the ideas of Hehuan and Shangqing led to the surprise of Chunguo and Datong. This kind of surprise doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, it's just that the system is different.
To get back to the point, there is a square in the center of Yancheng, and the road is developed, connecting the entire Yancheng. In the center of the square stands a huge jade stone. That piece of jade is the "bulletin stone bar".
The bulletin stone column displays a variety of information, including the ownership of industrial materials, the whereabouts of Yancheng's tax revenues, and the deeds of outstanding mortals. To put it simply, the bulletin stone column is the information column of Yancheng, which is used for information dissemination and publicity.
After briefly checking the bulletin stone fence, Si Dao knew that the head of Yancheng was Xia Yunhua. When Mo asked, in Shangzhengguo in the Western Regions, Si Dao had seen Xia Yunhua. The other party is Homulo's suitor. He is the first person under the famous Yuan Baby, and is known as the first person of contemporary times. What's even more interesting is that the "Genting" gambling house is actually Xia Yunhua's industry.
Datong disciples can own mortal inheritance. This is not unusual. It's just that Si Dao will still feel very surprised when he sees it with his own eyes. Because, mortal assets are useless to immortal cultivators. However, this direct benefit can completely motivate the mortal family. In this way, the people of Datong are extremely enthusiastic about cultivating immortals. In the family, once someone can become a cultivator, then the family can reap huge benefits.
In addition to the above information, Sidao also saw an "anti-drug list". The people on the list are heavily indebted, forbidden to enter the casino, and need to undergo forced labor to build Yancheng until all debts are paid. All debts are not related to the family and need to be repaid by the debtor himself.
Just as he was looking at the "bulletin stone fence", the unlucky guy chased after Si Dao, knelt on the ground, and begged Si Dao to accept him as an apprentice and teach him the art of gambling to win.
This unlucky guy is the one who just lost everything. He looked at the Tao as if he were a god, full of awe and envy. His eyes lit up, and he said bluntly that if Si Dao didn't accept him as a disciple, he would not be able to kneel on the ground for the rest of his life.
"Why do you want to learn gambling?" asked the unlucky man.
"Of course, I want to make money and become a human being. Master, as long as you teach me to lose betting. I promise to share half of your wealth. No, I'll give you ninety percent. The unlucky guy said reverently.
"What's your name?" asked Si Dao again.
"Wang Xiaogou, the disciple is called Wang Xiaopu. Wang Xiaopu replied excitedly. In his opinion, if Si Dao asked for his name, he would be willing to take him as a disciple.
But the result was as expected by Wang Xiaopu. Si Dao didn't say anything, turned around and left. He was obviously not walking fast, but he disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
Watching Si Dao leave, Wang Xiaogou quickly got up and wanted to catch up with Si Dao. It's just that he ran too slow to catch up at all. He ran two hundred meters, panting from exhaustion, and couldn't help but curse Cheese Dao angrily. He cursed that one day he would make Si Dao look good. He scolded several streets in a row, scolding as he walked, until he came home. As soon as he returned home, he was caught by law enforcement officers. Wang Xiaopu owes too much debt, and has to do voluntary labor for the rest of his life.
It's a small episode. Si Dao felt the special management of Yancheng. In Yancheng, casinos are not banned. However, Yancheng Casino has become part of the management mechanism.
Si Dao found it quite interesting. However, this management mechanism in Yancheng needs to be coordinated with a sound supervision organ. In addition, the people who rule Yancheng must be true cultivators. Otherwise, this approach will only be counterproductive.
I have to admit that Si Dao admires Xia Yunhua more and more. He had seen Xia Yunhua once, and the other party had an incredible leadership style, which made people yearn for it and wanted to follow.
is also in charge of the Immortal Sect, Jiang Yichen and Xia Yunhua feel completely different. This is inseparable from the difference in the concept of acacia and Shangqing.
In his thoughts, Si Dao accidentally bumped into the person in front of him.
It was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, and he looked very thin and his clothes were very shabby, but he was generally clean and not disgusting.
The young man looked at Si Dao in a panic and apologized vigorously. He is so humble that one can't help but feel pity. No one would blame such a poor teenager.
"It's okay!" Si Dao didn't mind. He continued to walk forward, and after taking a few steps, he realized that the silver pair in his arms was missing. These silver taels were originally used to buy mortal knick-knacks. He is a careful man and does not lose items easily. At this moment, the silver taels suddenly disappeared, it must have been stolen. Si Dao couldn't help but laugh. He is a person who cultivates the truth, and he will actually be stolen by someone to steal the silver taels in his arms.
As for the person who stole it, don't think about it, Si Dao also knows that it was the young man just now.
He turned his head, but he couldn't see the shadow of the boy at all. The boy had long since fled without a trace.
Si Dao didn't care about the loss of the silver taels. However, Si Dao is very interested in the thief boy. He wanted to see what kind of mortal could steal the silver taels from the cultivators.
With this mentality, he strode up the tall building. Glancing around, he saw the boy's traces.
