Chapter 8 Scholar surnamed Ning

After destroying the monsters, Zhu Yuanqing's family was not happy.

Zhu Yuanqing is enthusiastic, but his son and daughter-in-law don't treat Liu Mi and Haidao people very well.

Just said, "Prepare tea for you." ”

Then it was gone.

Zhu Yuanqing was furious, but the Haidao people were accustomed to it: "It's okay, the beliefs are different." ”

Since ancient times, creation and evolution have not been mutually exclusive, and Zhu Yuanqing's daughter-in-law did not draw a sword, which is already very good.

The path of creation is not only hard, but also slow to produce results, and it also requires talent and practice.

If it weren't for the fact that the IQ was too high, and if you accidentally knew too much, and you were worried about being wiped out, the people of Kaido would not have embarked on the path of cultivation.

"Actually, I also know that the Evolution Dao is more comfortable, and the Silence Dao is the most comfortable. The Haidao people smiled and said, "The Dao of Evolution and the Dao of Silence welcome believers, but not new gods. ”

"At first, I took refuge in Creation just to survive, and I had little respect for the Creator. Believing in the Tao of Evolution is like patriotism, and it is a great disadvantage in society. ”

Later, I saw more and knew the fate of different beliefs, and then I realized that creation was good.

This is recognized by the Haidao people, and Liu Mi also agrees.

"Me too," Liu Mi also nodded, "I know too much, and I will be killed by the Buddha." As a last resort, I sacrificed to the heavens and cultivated the Tao. ”

Haidao people and Liu Mi came over, naturally to preach.

The society of Great Xia has reached the point where money is omnipotent, entertainment is supreme, and the whole people gamble.

The evolution that needs to endure hardships and has slow results has no market at all in most places.

There is only a stubborn old man like Zhu Yuanqing in rural Shandong, who can be absorbed into Taoist friends if he doesn't help his relatives.

"Two Taoist leaders, I don't know much, but I can still understand the major rights and wrongs! Even if I eat chaff vegetables, the heaven and earth gang often can't be chaotic! What do you say, I will do it. Zhu Yuanqing said.

"This is not difficult, as long as you tell me who are willing to endure hardships in this village, we will reason with them. ”

The fame of the Kaido people spread, and the villagers knew that there were two Taoist priests who had come to fight the witch.

The witch has already lost a round.

Seeing the excitement is not a big deal, the villagers wish they started to fight, running around in the middle, spreading words and fanning the wind.

But ten of the most famous witches in the neighborhood got together and fought behind closed doors.

Among them, there are those who are good at boxing, those who are proficient in ancient magic, and those who are proficient in curses.

But in the end, it was a witch who worshipped the fox as a teacher.

After a great battle, the nine defeated witches were so demoralized that the villagers removed the door panels and sent them back.

The remaining victorious witches went out of their homes, burning incense and chanting at home, refusing to come out.

"Youkai also know how to hide from disasters. The Kaido people shook their heads, disappointed.

Zhu Yuanqing was puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing, if they don't come out to make trouble, the two Taoist leaders can take the opportunity to preach." ”

"Real gold is not afraid of fire, and I wish that all religious people would be locked up in a small black room, and only one would be allowed to come out alive. The Kaido man shook his head.

The two armies face each other, and the strong are not afraid of hard encounters. Although war will inevitably cause damage, it does not matter to the strong.

Those who like to fight intrigue are usually weak.

For example, now, if a witch dares to go out to fight, if one of them comes out, one of the monsters will die.

But now that they are closed, they are still shouting to the villagers, 'Peace is all for the happiness of mankind', and the people of Haidao are not easy to knock on the door."

The villagers don't care whether it's right or wrong, who gives benefits they help whom, and who they sympathize with when they are weak.

Zhu Yuanqing's family was divided, and his son and daughter-in-law separated from him.

The villagers surnamed Nineteen Zhuang were not interested in Tianli, they only knew that the Haidao people had caused disagreements, and they could cause even more disagreements in the future.

Therefore, they unconditionally hate the Haidao people, as well as Liu Mi.

Ten days later, the witch reopened the door, no longer doing anything, not promoting any theories, just blindly smiling, complimenting, seeing a doctor for free, blessings, and giving gifts.

Soon a large number of villagers spontaneously supported the witch.

However, the villagers can accommodate different faiths: witches for profit, warlocks to eliminate disasters, Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits, and monks to save souls, each performing its own duties and serving the villagers.

The villagers just need to give them respect and money.

The villagers came and asked, first, what are the benefits? Second, it is not possible to coexist with other faiths.

The Haidao people refused: No, there is only one emperor in a country, and there is only one emperor in a world. Rejection of coalition rule.

However, the Kaido people promised: no tax can be charged, all benefits are free, as long as the food is managed.

The villagers' eyes lit up: Really?

Of course it is true, but mathematics must be popularized, and it must be laborious and reasonable.

The villagers lost interest.

Public opinion in the village changed, and the villagers blamed the Haidao people one after another.

The witch was glad to hear this, but she would not say anything about it.

As a result, the Kaido people can kill the witch's teacher, the witch's teacher controls the witch, the witch lures the villagers, and the villagers attack the Kaido people.

The situation immediately became chaotic.

"I think we can do a miracle with violence!" Liu Mi suggested.

No matter how many tricks the witch had, she went to dismantle her offering table and forced her to face it head-on, to see if she was still hot.

"No, they will hook up with the government and scholars. When the time comes, the administration and public opinion will attack together, and we can only admit defeat and leave. Kaido shook his head and said.

A few days later, the Kaido people said, "If I were here, they wouldn't see the possibility of winning, and they would keep cowering." ”

The Kaido people took their leave.

Before leaving, the Kaido people taught two prayers to the heavens:

The debriefing work allows us to unite around the Heavenly Dao, to receive logistical support from the whole country, to glorify our Dao, to bring shame to the enemy, and to unite around the Heavenly Dao to win.

Reason descends, and in our hearts, we receive the power of realistic mathematics and master superpowers. From home, to faraway places, to the ends of the earth, we are sanctified.

These two rituals are used to ask for assistance and the other to strengthen one's will.

One defense and one attack can make the monk invincible.

After the Kaido people left, the witches were still very restrained, and they no longer dared to speak loudly in the streets, nor did they dare to boast about the strength of their teacher.

"Taoist priests are not only selfish, but also kill gods. "The witch signaled with her eyes, don't provoke you when you are idle, you can't get rid of it, and you can't get killed.

However, the image of the Taoist priest as selfish, cruel, and powerful can also be regarded as established.

If a villager is sick or in a disaster, he first carries it himself, then a doctor, and then a witch.

If they are all sentenced to death, they will go to Liu Mi.

Liu Mi was not angry, but had a request: benefits can be given, but they must respect the king, work, and be reasonable.

There is also - the Heavenly Dao is the emperor of the heavens, which is exclusive, and if you believe in the Heavenly Dao, you are not allowed to worship other gods.

The villagers didn't care about this, and agreed first.

Liu Mi recited the sacrificial text, first applied for assistance and protection from above, applied for relief, and then strictly ordered the villagers to change their evil ways and return to the right, 'pay taxes and respect the king from now on, and cut off contact with crooked and evil ways'.

The villagers agreed.

Then when they got better, some of the villagers immediately turned their faces and denied their accounts, got up and left.

Some are embarrassed to tear their faces, and they are empty and wronged.

There are also a few who have a conscience and follow Liu Mi's path from then on, but these villagers like to give advice.

With the ability to 'do what others can't', Liu Mi has gained a firm foothold here, but he is still far from his goal of reversing the fortune of the world.

Not only that, the witch was secretly watching, setting up a snare, and trying to murder the villagers who followed Liu Mi.

Soon the opportunity came.

Liu Mi thought that the witch would choose to nibble, but he didn't expect the witch to launch a full-scale war.

First of all, a man had to come and sign a contract with the Heavenly Dao and become a monk because of his illness.

After recovering from the disease, the man immediately chose to betray and never came to see Liu Mi again, and said bad things about Liu Mi behind his back, thinking that Liu Mi had big rules.

When the man fell ill again, he ran to the witch.

The witch told him that there was nothing the Great Immortal could do unless he tore up his covenant with the Heavenly Dao.

The man said, "What does God have to do with me, I don't believe in the way of heaven anymore, let me heal." ”

The witch did what she did, and she didn't take any money.

The man returned home ill and died the next day.

There are also some women who choose to believe in the Heavenly Dao, longing for the Heavenly Dao to be a tool for them to obtain benefits like the Great Immortals.

These women have no knowledge, in their eyes there is no difference between the Heavenly Dao and the Great Immortals, they are crazy to 'defend' the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao must give back to them for their power and status.

Under the influence of witches, these women nominally cultivated the Tao, but in fact they played with right and wrong, got sick with ghosts, and even went crazy, and were possessed by the great immortals.

"Taoist priests are also evil. So said the witch.

In the blink of an eye, public opinion changed greatly, and the Taoist priest suddenly became shouted and beaten by everyone.

In particular, Taoist priests insist that there is no reincarnation, good people become immortals and live forever, and bad people turn to ashes and fall into darkness, and everyone cultivates their own people, and they can't bribe on their behalf.

The existence of Taoist priests, the success of Taoist priests, means that mortals will turn to ashes.

Ignorant people spread rumors everywhere that Liu Mi's reputation was darkened little by little.

The witches who knew that Liu Mi was powerful were all hiding from the Taoist temple, but they provoked the stupid women to curse Liu Mi, and they also fanned the ruffians to go to the Taoist temple to make trouble.

The classical Taoist priests were useless and mocked the whole world, and finally one day the Taoist temple was set on fire.

The leader of the nineteen surnamed Zhuang confessed: You Taoist priest is an evil way, you don't give others a way to live, and you mock the civilians, get out of here.

......

Divine powers are invincible to luck.

Divine powers, god-like means.

Luck, the general trend of the world, the people's wishes, customs and feelings.

When the whole society agrees with a certain atmosphere, even if you have superpowers, you can't do anything about it.

This is Wang Wenqing passing by here and meeting Liu Mi, very embarrassed.

Liu Mi didn't ask about the past, and Wang Wenqing didn't mention the two painting girls.

After the greetings, Wang Wenqing said, "Within humanity, officials, squires, and village women making trouble will attract the emperor's blows, and even in a city and a place, jade will be burned."

The same is true of the Heavenly Dao. Usually cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are haunted, and there will be no natural disasters to destroy the world.

But if human beings die, it will be a natural disaster. ”

The current Great Xia has almost reached a critical line.

Wang Wenqing concluded that there must be a heavenly curse, and opened the Shenxiao faction in advance to persuade the people to go to the sky and build villages and bunkers to protect themselves.

And another monk, Lin Lingsu, had already gone to Jinling to persuade the emperor to change his ways.

"You are not suitable for establishing a base in the countryside, it is better to go to the rivers and lakes and search for some valuable people. ”

In this way, Lin Lingsu was codenamed Taishang Laojun, Wang Wenqing was codenamed Tongtian Sect Master, and Liu Mi was codenamed Primordial Daoist, and they acted separately and prepared to meet the killing.

Under the killing, anyone who can make a sound will basically die.

Civilians who cannot raise their voices will also have to pay the price for their 'connivance with evil'.

Liu Mi handed over Fuling Mountain to Wang Wenqing, except for Gao Cuiyun, who still belonged to Liu Mi, all the remaining power and population were handed over to Wang Wenqing.

The treasures that had been sealed for a long time were also taken out, and the spirit rhino beads and other things were given to Wang Wenqing, leaving only the dust of the heavenly realm and the merit sword.

Wearing a Taoist robe, Liu Mi went out, and walked a short distance to see a scholar's party, and the scholar called Liu Mi to sit down.

Several scholars are rich and poor, and they are discussing the way out in the future.

They are all confused, and now there is a surplus of talent, and it is difficult to become officials. Even if you go to do business, you can't compete for someone who specializes in business.

Even if you work in the fields, there is less land and more people.

In the vast world, there is no place for scholars.

The families of these scholars are rich and poor, and those who are rich are okay, and the family has already arranged for prisoners, real estate, and wives and concubines, and they can enjoy it just when they are old.

The poor scholars in the family are miserable, not only have no way out, but also have to deal with the ridicule of their neighbors and the expectations of their parents.

Seeing their peers in and out of the flower building and poetry club, female artists and famous ladies throwing themselves into their arms, they can only hope for a miracle to happen.

"Even if there is a ghost, as long as it is a woman, I dare to sleep. A scholar surnamed Ning laughed at himself.

The two scholars from the humble family next to him looked at each other strangely and tacitly and smiled.

Liu Mi interjected: "If you want to sleep with a female ghost, you have to sleep early, this is like the sun snake, the first day snake became an immortal, and then the day snake disappeared." ”

The scholar was puzzled, and after a while, he stroked his palms and laughed: "Is the Taoist chief saying that the ghost fox is also good at immortal jumping, and he knows how to give benefits first and then harm people?"

"However, it is enough to think of the ghost fox as a ruffian. Not only fishing, but occasionally there are a few ruffians with pure hearts. Liu Mi smiled.

"Where are the Taoists going?" said the scholar surnamed Ning.
