Chapter 907: The Discussion of Alliances

At the Moyi Sect General Altar, more than 20 elders gathered in the main hall, and there was a lot of discussion about the alliance with the Yuqing Sect. Indeed, just as Ye Zan had guessed, the elders in the hall did not all agree with this alliance, and even disagreed with the majority. After all, there were only a few people who watched Ye Zan demonstrate those things at the beginning, Elder Yu and them.

"That Wuji Daoist has solved this problem for me, and we naturally want to feel his kindness. It's just that there are countless ways to repay the favor, or to give magic weapons, or to give inheritance, and we have nothing to say. However, if this alone is to bind the fate of my religion to others, it is difficult for the old man to agree. ”

"Yes, although you said that an alliance with the Yuqing Sect would have such and such benefits, but...... This is indeed debatable. ”

"My sect monopolizes this realm, controls the passage of entry and exit, where do we need to form alliances with other foreign sects! If we meet an ally who is good at making trouble, maybe we will be implicated by it, then I am afraid that my sect will not have a peaceful day in the future. ”

Although it is said that the Moyi Sect guards the teleportation circle that connects the outer regions, no one has ever taken half a step for tens of thousands of years, mainly due to the scruples of the peace of the night. However, many things, once they last for a long time, tend to make people habit, so that the initial reason is not important.

Therefore, even today's Moyi religion no longer needs to worry about the peace of the night. But in the hearts of many people up and down, they have already regarded this way of life as a principle that they need to abide by. Many people feel that these quiet days for tens of thousands of years have been achieved by not being able to go out, and they have an inexplicable fear of stepping out of this world.

It's like what the tech world calls a comfort zone, where once a person becomes accustomed to his surroundings, he resists any influence on that environment.

The people of the Moyi Sect have lived in the Moyi Domain for tens of thousands of years, and although they also have bazaars in the outer regions as exchanges, that exchange is definitely very limited. No one of them went out, and they didn't allow people from outside the country to go to the bazaar, and using this way of life became a solidified comfort zone.

For the people of the Moyi Sect, whether it is stepping out of the Moyi Domain Realm or relaxing the restrictions on people from other regions, it is a kind of destruction of the comfort zone, let alone an alliance with the Yuqing Sect.

After all, with forming an alliance comes the responsibility of being an ally, and there is no such thing as enjoying benefits without responsibility. However, the Yuqing Sect is a sect in the Shenhua Domain Realm, and since the Moyi Sect has to assume the responsibility of an ally, it will definitely have to make great strides out of the Moyi Domain Realm. And no one can be sure what kind of consequences they will bring to the Moyi Sect when they walk out of the Moyi Domain.

There is a saying in the world, called "do more wrong, do less wrong, and don't do well", which is the psychology of some so-called "keep-by" people. For such a person, even if the status quo is not very good, it will not be worse if it is guarded. And going out may be better but also worse, in order not to get worse, then it is better not to be better.

To say that such an idea cannot be completely wrong, but everyone has their own thoughts. Some people want to break through, want to make a difference in the world, even if they are broken. It's like some people like to ride a roller coaster, like the thrill of ups and downs. But there are also people who just want to maintain the status quo and enjoy the peace and stability of the plain, without big ups and downs.

It was precisely because of this that none of the elders in the hall could really convince anyone, and the argument was very fierce for a while.

And while the elders were arguing, Ye Zan and Lin Mumu, under the leadership of Elder Yu, also came to the gate of the main hall. Standing outside, Ye Zan and Lin Mumu could already hear the lively quarrel inside, which was like a vegetable market. If they were mortals, they might only hear the buzzing sound, but Ye Zan and Lin Mumu, as cultivators, could still hear what everyone was saying.

"Fellow Daoists, forgive me, after all, many of them have never seen the demonstration of Daoyou, so it is a little difficult to accept this alliance. Elder Yu explained to Ye Zan very embarrassed.

After all, whether to form an alliance or not, Ye Zanke is still a benefactor of the Moyi Sect. However, in the controversy, it is difficult for anyone to convince anyone, so that the words spoken are becoming more and more difficult to hear. Some people directly doubted Ye Zan's motives, thinking that Ye Zan's proposal for an alliance was not good. Some people also think that although Ye Zan solved this problem for them, he didn't make any effort at all, how could he really treat him as a great benefactor and so on.

"Elder Yu, do you elders do this every time you discuss things?" Ye Zan didn't care about the words of those people inside, but he was a little amused by the way this kind of quarrel was discussed.

Elder Yu sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Alas, Daoist friends are smiling, my sect has monopolized this realm for tens of thousands of years, where are there so many major events worthy of such an argument. It was the first time in 10,000 years that all the elders had gathered together. ”

Indeed, the Moyi Sect is not like those forces in the outer regions, which need to think about grabbing territory and developing the sect all day long. After all, the entire Moyi Domain is controlled by the Moyi Sect, and there is no way to grab the land, and there is no room for the development of the sect. As a result, the elders of the sect, who are the top of the sect, have almost no major matters that need to be studied together.

If there is anything else that could bring all the elders together except for this alliance with the Yuqing Sect, I am afraid that it can only be done by showing up at Night Peace.

"I see!" Ye Zan thought about this, nodded clearly, and then asked with a half-teasing voice: "So, Elder Yu, do you think we should go in now, or wait outside?"

Elder Yu's face turned red with shame, and he quickly nodded and said, "Since Daoist friends have already arrived, where is there any reason to wait outside, not to mention that it is not a way to let them argue like this." ”

Ye Zan and Lin Mumu could hear clearly, what those people inside were shouting, and Elder Yu, as the Dao Monarch of the Law Minister, could naturally hear it word for word. Therefore, he did not dare to wait any longer, God knows how ugly those people would say if they continued to argue.

"The Wuji Daoist of the Yuqing Sect and the Great Freedom Sect have arrived, and you have not come out to greet you, but when!" Elder Yu shouted at the people in the main hall with anger in his eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of quarrels in the hall was as if the TV had been suddenly unplugged, and there was no sound in an instant. Immediately after, the door of the main hall rumbled open, and the twenty or so elders inside walked out of it. It's just that these elders have some shame on their faces.

After all, speaking ill of people behind this and being caught by someone is current, even if it is a figure like Faxiang Daojun, it is difficult to pretend that nothing happened.

"I've seen Wuji Daoyou!" The elders went out and saw Ye Zan, and immediately bowed their hands to Ye Zan.

Ye Zan didn't care about the previous matter with the other party, and hurriedly bowed back to everyone, saying: "Don't be like this, you elders don't want to be like this, I have seen all the elders in the Xiayu Qing Sect Wuji!"

Although Lin Mumu was very unhappy with these elders, he didn't want to spoil Ye Zan's affairs, so he also followed and said, "Lin Mumu of the Great Freedom Sect has seen all the elders. ”

"You guys!" Elder Yu pointed at those elders, shook the sleeves of his robe very helplessly, turned around and said to Ye Zan: "Wuji Daoyou, and Lin Daoyou, please follow the old man to the hall to talk." ”

Under the leadership of Elder Yu, surrounded by the other elders, Ye Zan and Lin Mumu walked into the main hall. But seeing that inside this hall, some arrangements had been made in advance for what he was going to do, making it look like a small auditorium. Obviously, the elders who had seen his demonstrations also hoped that Ye Zan would use those demonstrations again to convince other elders who had not seen them.

"Wuji Daoyou, we have already arranged this place, but I don't know if it is the intention of Daoyou. If there is any shortcoming, you can tell us, and we can change it according to the requirements of the Taoist. Elder Yu followed Ye Zan's side and pointed to the layout in the main hall and said.

Ye Zan was already very satisfied with this, after all, he was just giving some demonstrations to more than 20 people, and he was not going to hold any large-scale concerts, so he nodded and said, "Elder Yu doesn't have to bother, this seems to be enough." ”

"So very good, so very good!" Seeing that Ye Zan didn't find fault, Elder Yu also let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the elders who followed up, and said, "Everyone, regarding the alliance between my sect and the Yuqing Sect, those discussions you had before were just based on personal imagination without seeing the demonstration of Wuji Daoist. Now that the Wuji Daoists have arrived, please sit down and wait until you have seen the content of the Wuji Daoist demonstration, and then make a judgment. ”

Originally, seeing that Ye Zan had arrived, those among the elders who did not agree with the alliance still wanted to question Ye Zan a few words. Although, they used to speak ill of people behind their backs and were caught, and their faces were a little unbearable. However, when it comes to the "fate" of the Moyi Sect, even if these people feel guilty, they don't want to change their minds.

However, Elder Yu's words blocked back the words of those people.

In fact, for the things that Ye Zan was going to demonstrate, whether they agreed or disapproved of the alliance, their hearts were full of curiosity. Don't look at Elder Yu and them, they have seen Ye Zan's demonstration before, but it is difficult to let others really understand those things by just relying on words.

It's like, if you tell a person that the water in the cup will burn the person, how can he understand the concept of scalding since he has not been scalded before. This is the case with many things, and you say that the rail train is traveling at thousands of miles per hour, and how many people can think of the specific changes that this will bring to the lives of ordinary mortals? Perhaps, the only thing they can think of is that people travel between the two places faster, and goods can be transported faster, but what about the deeper impact?

Only by putting everything out and listing all the data like Ye Zan's side can people see how big the impact is here. Why do you say, "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads"? Are roads built just for the convenience of transportation? Does convenient transportation only make people earn more money? What will change when people make more money? There are many such questions that cannot be explained by words alone.

Moreover, more importantly, these Dharma Ministers and Daoists have been separated from secular life for a long time, and they are not the parents of the ruling party. If you change to a truly capable secular official, you may be able to imagine the many impacts that can be brought about by the change in transportation. And these Dharma Ministers, if you let them think about the lives of secular mortals, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them not to say, "Why not eat minced meat".

"Okay, since Elder Yu said so, then I'll wait and see how amazing those things you admire will be!" someone said in response.

"Yes, I heard you say so much, the more the old man listened, the more confused he became, let's see how Wuji Daoist friends tell us. Another elder followed suit.

Soon, more than 20 elders each found a place to sit down, and surrounded the "demonstration stage" in front of the main hall, as if they were listening to cross talk in a small theater. Maybe for them, the "boasting" of Elder Yu and the others before can indeed be listened to as a cross talk to relieve boredom.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the hall became quiet, and Ye Zan stood in front of the "demonstration table" and took out the projection equipment for the demonstration. There was no need for any setup testing, and when the projection equipment was activated, the image was projected onto a screen on the "demo table", and a rail train whizzed by.

"Elders, the first thing I want to show you next is this train. Ye Zan paused the picture and pointed to the steel dragon above.

It was too simple for Ye Zan to demonstrate those things, not to mention that he had made more comprehensive preparations for this during the "retreat" before. It can be said that what Ye Zan is going to demonstrate this time will not only shock people who have not seen it, but even Elder Yu and a few of them who have seen it will also have a deeper understanding and cognition of it.

In Ye Zan's demonstration, although the protagonist is rail transit, the most important thing is the impact of rail transit on the secular world.

Can goods be transported more conveniently, but is it more convenient for those merchants to make money? People can travel between the two places faster, and they can go to places that they couldn't go before, just to have more knowledge? Ye Zan gave answers to these questions in the demonstration.

The whole society is a huge machine, and every change in the gears does not only affect the gears themselves. Rail transit is such a gear, it seems that it only involves travel and transportation, but in the rotation of this gear, this influence will continue to spread to the entire machine.

Just like in the world of technology, a steam engine brought the whole world into the industrial revolution and turned the whole world upside down. There may be things that don't use a steam engine, but they have to change as the surrounding factors change.
