Chapter 218: The Three Great Forces That Make Up the World
Walking all the way out, Lao Ma was never very happy to see Duan Qing, but he didn't know that Duan Qing was originally such an indifferent character, so he had to rack his brains to warm up the scene, fortunately, he was old, and there were many strange things he had encountered over the years.
After talking for a while, Lao Ma couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Look at us, for some resources necessary for cultivation, we even have to give up our lives, scattered cultivation, scattered cultivation, what kind of life are we living? ”
Duan Qing said: "Actually, you can go to the sect to do miscellaneous labor, and I also went to apply for it." ”
"You've been hired? I've been a handyman. The old horse smiled dismally: " The outer disciples have fifteen Qi Pills per month, one Healing Pill every three months, and the inner disciples have thirty Qi Pills plus two Healing Pills every month, and there are some other auxiliary pills, and when it comes to the miscellaneous servants, three Qi Pills per month, there is nothing left, not to mention, every day when the pills are issued, those outer disciples and inner disciples stick up like flies, and finally they can get their hands, if they are lucky, they may only have half a pill left, and they are not willing to eat, they have to exchange them for spirit stones or gold and silver and send them home, and they have to support their families, it's good to be able to feed your family. ”
"Probably because the small sect is not standardized enough. It was the first time Duan Qing had heard of such a thing.
Lao Ma nodded: "It is indeed a small sect, and the total number of people is only a thousand, but I have a cousin who grew up together when he was young, and he used to work as a miscellaneous servant in the Tianlan Sect, how big is that? There are three thousand inner disciples alone, counting tens of thousands of outer disciples plus twice the number of miscellaneous servants, counting the messy count, the number of sects exceeds 50,000, he has been doing miscellaneous labor there for a year, and at the end of the year, he also sent me a letter, but he borrowed five Yiqi Pills, and he will repay them when he is promoted to an outer disciple." ”
"I've been doing it for a year, but I owe the pill?" Duan Qing was also slightly stunned.
"Who said no, I quickly inquired, it turned out that Tianlan Sect had an unwritten secret for a long time, and the pill was issued as usual, but whoever can extort the pill from the miscellaneous servant, not only will he not make a mistake, but the pill will also be owned by the individual, whether it is the master or the precept elder, no one has the right to ask. Let's ask who wants to do miscellaneous labor for the rest of their lives, so all these people who have no conscience use the qualification of being transferred to the outer sect disciples to defraud, and they are unpleasant, my cousin is honest, and there is not a single pill left that has been blackmailed, and those who have not been obtained are constantly blackmailed, and they owe a lot of pills, what ability do I have to help the miscellaneous servants of a small sect?"
The old horse sighed deeply: " The last news was ten years ago, he sent me a letter, no longer a paper letter, but in the Tianlan Sect only inner disciples are qualified to learn the Tianyin note, on the letter my cousin said that it is all under the care of Senior Brother Yang, has become an outer disciple, and may not write again in the near future, because I want to do something for Senior Brother Yang, as long as it is done well, I can become an inner disciple, but I didn't expect that there was no news from then on, until a year later, Tianlan Sect sent a letter, saying that my cousin had been executed because of peeping at the female disciple taking a bath, because it was a sinful body, and he was not qualified to be buried in Tianlan Mountain, so let me collect the body...”
The old horse's eyes were red, and the people choked.
Although there was no change in the expression on Duan Qing's face, he was also uncomfortable in his heart, it had nothing to do with pity, just the kindness hidden in the corner of his heart.
In fact, people are like this, no one is perfect, and no one can combine all the virtues in one, Duan Qing has never thought of himself as a noble person, when facing the enemy, he will try his best to defeat by all means, but in terms of dealing with the world, he has his own persistence and limit, which no one can change.
"Have you inquired?" Duan Qing asked.
"I went, but what's the use, the person is already dead! I can't even see the face of Senior Brother Yang. The old horse was sad from the heart, but his sad face was gradually replaced by ruthlessness, and said: "However, I finally saw Senior Brother Yang. ”
"Oh?" Duan Qing was slightly stunned.
Lao Ma sneered: "Don't let me enter the mountain gate, I directly changed my face and applied for a miscellaneous servant, and after three months of hard work, I finally took Senior Brother Yang into our dormitory, saying that I could handle the promotion of outer disciples, and blamed me for not holding back, and directly shouted How did my cousin surnamed Yang fall to the ground and die, you didn't see it, that kid was so frightened that his face was as white as a blank paper." ”
"What happened later?" Duan Qing continued to ask.
The old horse shook his head: "Later, I was beaten badly, put it in a sack, and threw it into the mountain stream along the cliff of Tianlan Mountain, if it wasn't for the fisherman not far away to see it, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago, I swore at that time, I must work hard to make money, work hard to cultivate, I have never relaxed, but now, it is just a five-fold cultivation in the Jindan period, and even the doorman guarding the mountain gate of Tianlan Mountain can't beat it." Sects, families, and scattered cultivation constitute the three major systems on the planet, but... Alas, man is better than man!"
Lao Ma sighed again and again, shook his head and said: "There have been countless times when someone wanted to establish a country and break the monopoly of the sect, but all of them were defeated by the force of the sect, and in the end they were all wiped out and wiped out!"
On the Burning Sky Star, just like Lao Ma said, there has never been any country, only the sect dominates the planet, this is like the nine-story Heavenly Tower on the top of Tianlan Mountain, and the eight major sects that stand on the spire are naturally evenly distributed on the entire planet, holding most of the land and resources of the entire planet, and also having enough rights.
In addition to the necessary possession of these lands and rights, some of them were distributed to the city, that is, the city defense army, who had absolute control over the city, was responsible for managing the ordinary people, and at the same time assumed the obligation of allegiance to the sect, but regardless of the size of the city, the number of city defense troops in each city could not exceed 1,000. Of course, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion must be at least hundreds, not counting those quick arresters.
In short, this kind of thing is naturally a matter of policy and countermeasure.
And some of the vacancies outside the territory occupied by each sect are filled by various old families, which are either land rich in precious materials, or mountains rich in minerals, and six of them have the right to mine one-third of the spirit stone veins of the entire planet, which is the force that occupies the middle section.
Although some small families do not occupy a lot of resources, they are pitiful compared to those big families, but they are enough for all the children of the family to cultivate, and some of the remaining ones are used to develop the family power.
As for the most down-to-earth part of the tower base, it is naturally reserved for the largest number of casual cultivators, and the resource land is only a place where the horns are inaccessible and the rabbits don't, just like here and now, the forest is dense and tall, but the cultivation materials are not even a single one.
For these things, Duan Qing has seen some of them in books since he came to this world, but he is not as thorough as Lao Ma said, whether it is in reality or in books, the sect and the family have never concealed their disdain for loose cultivation, and if they want to get dignity, they must either have enough talent, or they will work hard enough and succeed in getting the corresponding strength to join the sect, and they will be regarded as their own people at that time.
However, judging from Lao Ma's words, it is not uncommon for the sect to dump, the weak eat the strong, no matter where it is, it is an eternal fact.
"Then, why not establish a country or sect to break the distribution of this kind of power? For example, the number of scattered cultivators is the largest, and security can be united!" Duan Qing said with some indignation.
"Oops... The old horse hurriedly stopped Duan Qing, and subconsciously looked left and right: "Don't dare to say this, fortunately, there are only two of us here, if someone listens to it, this will be an unforgivable sin!
"Who said there were just two of you here?"
Suddenly, a treacherous voice with a ridiculous meaning came out, which frightened the old horse so much that he almost jumped up, and his dry hair stood upside down a little, he had always been very vigilant about the surrounding environment, but he didn't expect that someone approached and couldn't notice it, and it was just three feet away!
A handsome and tall young man walked out, it was Wang Peng, the second young master of the Wang family in the Centennial City, Lao Ma chuckled again in his heart, and the eyes that looked at Wang Peng's handsome face at this time were all deeply afraid, although the Wang family of the Centennial City was not an old family, but it also had a history of hundreds of years, and the family heirloom Storm Storm was a real Xuan-level advanced, and the supporting storm sword technique was displayed on the three-pound two-handed sword, which was simply a life!
"Okay, do you still want to establish a sect?country?break the existing pattern?" Wang Peng's face was full of sneers, and his handsome face looked particularly hideous, saying that the children of these families were very handsome, in fact, it is not difficult to imagine, after all, they are all families that have been passed down for many years, and the ladies naturally choose those outstanding beauties, passed down from generation to generation, and they are becoming more and more outstanding, and it is not easy to look ugly.
"I'll take you first!" Wang Peng yelled: "Brothers, take it for me!"
"Wait, Er Shao, is there any misunderstanding here?" Old Ma's honest face was full of panic, and he hurriedly waved his hand.
"Misunderstanding? When I'm stupid, isn't it, what did this kid do by the pond while I was chasing people? I'm eight Jindan period quadruple subordinates, why did I let this kid be slaughtered, and you still tell me that you misunderstood? Fortunately, you have run errands for Young Master Ben before, and now you dare to eat inside and out, I will go to Nima, kill me!"
In an instant, the sword light and sword shadow.
