Chapter 574: Humanitarian dangers revealed
The bright light is bright, like the sun. As soon as it sets, it dispels the dark atmosphere around and suppresses all kinds of changes.
The power of human order that Chu Tai brought under his control was also constantly vibrating, and was gradually sorted out, purified, and controlled by it.
It's just that the resentment boiling here is most repulsive to such practices. After being suppressed for a short time, it immediately rebounded and violently collided with the bright light.
The two were consuming each other, causing the black air to evaporate, making the bright light slightly turbid, and also making its owner furious.
"Is this the grievances of the people? What do the local inspection envoys, patrol envoys, and hearsay envoys do for a living? Why are there people who have caused such bad consequences serving in the local government?"
Although his words were full of scolding of local officials, the master of Mingguang still exerted a greater power of human order. After regaining control of the official seal, he tried to clear away the confusion and resentment in this place at once.
It's just that this move not only further stimulated the local spirit, but also made Chu Tai, who was closely related to this place, somewhat repelled.
But before Chu Tai could make any move, Mingguang seemed to see something. He stopped his strong movements and said in a slightly sad tone: "These... what kind of evil are these!"
< br>
As he spoke, bright light emerged from the official's body, curled outward, and mixed with many orders, suppressing the three officials under the earth, using their official bodies as carriers to mobilize the power of human order from other places. , stabilize the chaos here, and sort out the people's livelihood and people's hearts here.
The original strong suppression turned into a gentler approach, and the resentment that had originally been violent resistance suddenly subsided a lot.
After the master of Mingguang noticed it, he sighed again.
At the same time, wisps of spiritual light emerged from all over Peach Mine City, spreading a little to the surroundings, washing away the many little spiders of "Grandma A'nuo", allowing them to transform into themselves again, and they could normally enter the underworld and seek the future.
After doing all this, the owner of the bright light looked in the direction of Chu Tai, remained silent for a while, and then whispered.
"What a sudden change in two days, and all kinds of ghosts, ghosts, gods and snakes came out. The foundation of your practice should be the Immortal Sun and Moon Dharma, but your magical power has some traces of the Buddhist Karma Dharma, and your aura has some shadows of the ancient Shinto. In the end, you drove away the resentment , the method of controlling the official seal has some shadows of the ancient human way. Of course, this part is often called the magic way in modern times. ”
"Learning to understand the four paths of immortals, gods, Buddhas and demons, there are faint signs of driving humanity. Which side do you represent?"
When Chu Tai heard this, he smiled and said: "I don't represent either side, I just see uneven roads and I can't stand it."
"You didn't tell the whole story."
The owner of Mingguang responded with a calm tone: "It's just part of your idea that you can't understand it. It should be more due to other reasons."
"Are other reasons important? Compared to me, you shouldn't ask why such a problem is caused?"
Chu Tai's words made the owner of Mingguang silent for a moment.
"I understand the reason, but it cannot be solved in a short time. The Central Plains is vast. Since the Holy King re-established humanity, how to comprehensively govern all parts of the Central Plains has been a core issue that we need to solve. But apart from returning to the ancient Shinto method of governing the world, humane governance After all, we cannot fully cover all parts of the Central Plains. Until now, the choice we have made is to expand outward from city to city. During this period, it is inevitable that corrupt officials will appear in the cities that have not been covered. "
"I don't believe you haven't thought of other ways to rule the world except Shinto."
"I have thought a lot about the solution, and many sages throughout the ages have also thought a lot, but each has its own problems."
The bright light swayed and the sound came out slowly.
"According to records, when the new Immortal Way emerged, the previous imperial court formed an alliance with Immortals and Buddhas to jointly govern the Central Plains, Eastern Territory, Western Regions, Southern Border and Northern Wilderness. Unfortunately, although this early success was achieved, the moral cultivation of Immortals and Buddhas was enough to suppress There were many problems, but later the worship of immortals and Buddhas led to the emergence of Buddhist and human kingdoms in various places. Originally, the emergence of these small countries that favored immortals and Buddhas was not a big problem, as long as the people could live and work in peace and contentment. "
"But later, the Buddhist and Taoist kingdoms launched a rebellion that lasted for more than 400 years. Tens of thousands of small kingdoms were established and destroyed. Thousands of immortal Buddhist sects were involved in it, and they were forced to Most of the population at that time was wiped out, leaving behind troubles for the current Eastern Territory, Southern Border, and Northern Wilderness. It was also from this time that humanity no longer allowed immortals and Buddhas to intervene in the governance of the Central Plains."
< br>
"In later dynasties, the main influence on immortals and Buddhas was to suppress and restrict them. In the most extreme period, the court even tried to cut off all extraordinary influence and govern the Central Plains purely with mortals. However, this choice would have too great a transformation of nature, and at the same time The conflict between immortals and Buddhas is too great, even if the great virtues among the immortals and Buddhas understand, and Humanity that is willing to cooperate and give in, but loses the protection of immortals and Buddhas, will gradually collapse under the influence of external forces involving the soul such as demons. Among the several regions where it was tried to be implemented, the Western Region was the most out of control. To this day, many countries in the Western Region are still there. It has the influence of the out-of-control power back then.”
"In the previous dynasty, some people even proposed that officials need to uphold justice. They should abandon the seven emotions and six desires of human nature, reorganize the body with Yanshi's method, and serve as a fair judge to maintain humane governance outside the core scope of the humane order. However, this method cannot last long. outsider The unpredictable and rigid judge will eventually find loopholes and cause more terrible crimes. This is why at the beginning of this dynasty, multiple sets of supervision systems were established to restrict each other. But you have also seen the flaws of this system. …”
"If you are willing to be cruel..."
Before Chu Tai finished speaking, Mingguang sneered: "How cruel can you be? Is killing a million considered too much? Is tens of millions considered too much? If the Central Plains is regarded as a circle, then the diameter of this circle will be six Trillions of miles, do you know how many people there are, how many of these people can live and work in peace and contentment, and how many of them are facing the current suffering? We can only allow as many people as possible to enter the core while maintaining overall stability."
"Forget it, you may not be able to listen to these nonsense. As for your question, if you don't want to say it, that's up to you. Just wait until I tell you and cross-examine it carefully."
During the words, the power of human order gathered together, relying on the concrete order of Peach Mine City, and derived countless invisible chains in an attempt to suppress Chu Tai.
Chu Tai was not afraid when he saw this. He had already seen from the man's previous actions that the opponent's power was only around the fourth level. At most, he could use the order of humanity and the ancient holy king's road to activate some of the power of the third level, and this part was indispensable. Various approval processes cannot be carried out in a short time.
He sneered: "You only have this level of ability. You say you can't do it, but your magical power can easily suppress many changes and problems. In the end, you still don't want to deal with them. If you really have the ability, you can solve the problems behind Caixian." Take care of it and solve the problem here! ”
After saying that, Chu Tai's body became illusory, like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water. It collapsed bit by bit under the power of order and disappeared in front of the bright light.
After a while, another scholar wearing a blue official robe came driving a streamer. After he stood firm, he straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to the bright light.
Only half of these red tapes were completed, and they were scolded by Ming Guang: "When did etiquette become more important than the common people? If you have this time, why not help me sort out the miscellaneous atmosphere of the earth, or make statistics on the materials and finances here to facilitate subsequent management." < br>
When the scholar heard this, he first confessed repeatedly, raised his hand and released an aura of aura similar to Mingguang to help stabilize the earth's veins. However, while helping, he couldn't help but ask what happened just now. Mingguang could see what this man was thinking, but there was no one else around to control him, so he could only answer his questions in a bad mood.
The literati who figured out the cause and effect were a little confused and said: "Since the turmoil caused by the interference of immortality in human nature, why did the censor let the other party leave?"
"What can we do if we don't let him leave? If it were not restricted by his official status, I would like to encourage him and applaud him for everything he does. Compared with such trivial matters as him crossing the line, the bigger problem is not the evil caused by the officials of Taokuang City. What do you people in charge of investigating, inspecting, and prosecuting do when such a big mistake is made?”
"I know that it is not easy for you local officials outside. Excluding the core areas of the Central Plains, mobilizing human order and the methods of the Holy King from the outside is far more troublesome than the core. If you want to stick to your heart, you will have to pay a greater price. But the imperial court also gave You have so many rights, why can’t you focus on serving the people? When I saw the information reported by the officials of Peach Mine City, I thought that there were finally a few guys who were willing to do business, but I didn’t expect that they were just a bunch of worms!”
"And what's wrong with the Daoguo system of the Immortal Wealth Statue? Why was it that what I saw when I gathered my aura here was completely different from what you reported?"
The scholar could only respond silently to a series of questions. When the censor saw this, he snorted coldly.
"That's all, you first collect the evidence of the crime here one by one. All relevant personnel are optimistic about it. I will be here later."
As he spoke, the bright light dissipated and merged into the earth's veins, further restoring the humanistic atmosphere of this place and leaving a mark on all officials and their relatives to prevent anyone from escaping in fear of crime during this period.
On the other side, Chu Tai, who had left Peach Mine City, hid in the mountains and forests. Looking back in the direction of Peach Mine City, wisps of bright light rose up, suppressing the evil spirit and resentment rolling in the city. It was obvious that the official who arrived had already The matter is resolved.
Sensing the other party's departure, Chu Tai silently contacted "Grandma A'nuo" again, and used this special monk to sense the changes in Peach Mine City.
‘You actually chose to give up part of your essence to help suppress future troubles here? And they also held the relatives of those officials accountable. When did the court become so tough? ’
Chu Tai was a little surprised that Master Mingguang could do this.
He briefly sensed the changes in the city, and another ray of bright light emerged, guiding him to detect the aura and traces of the green-robed scholar who arrived later.
With a little awareness, you can see that he is communicating with a dozen people with Mingguang brand on them.
"Master Liu, I and the other old guys deserve their punishment, but they..."
Before the leader of the old man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the scholar in green robe.
"Don't think about it. Your whole family has been marked by the censor. Not to mention these few elites who have been cultivated by the family's resources. Even the newborn baby in the family cannot escape."
"How could this, this, this... be like this?"
Several old people were shocked, and a middle-aged man even said anxiously: "I'll let it go, why should even babies be held accountable?"
"Why? Their birth also consumes your family's resources. And in the judgment of the court, how much of your family's resources do you think can be regarded as your personal property?"
The literati's response made everyone turn pale. The old man at the head held on and asked: "Is there no way at all?"
"Yes, as long as you are willing to bear all the responsibility for your crimes and give all your private resources to those children, it is possible for them to retain your family's bloodline and surname, and have the opportunity to prosper the family in the future."
"Just keep the bloodline and surname?"
When the scholar heard this, he became a little irritable.
"Otherwise, what do you think the situation is now? Being able to retain your surname and bloodline is already an act of mercy. Under normal circumstances, the best outcome for your heirs is to become a pure censor with no name or surname."
"A nameless and pure censor? Like the previous one?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but speak, and then whispered: "Is he also a sinner?"
"Don't define them arbitrarily. There are three origins of censors in the current dynasty. One is monks who voluntarily give up most of their personal relationships and even their bodies. Most of them are Legalists, Historians and Confucians. The second is people whose bloodline or inheritance is suitable. When they reach adulthood, , after successful practice, use the secret method to cover the appearance and breath and join in, and cooperate with The former. The last one is the descendant of the guilty minister. Because his birth consumes too many resources that originally belonged to the people, he has obtained extremely high qualifications, so he erases his surname and bloodline, assimilates part of his spirit, and trains him as a censor until the resources consumed by him are paid off. , and then give them the opportunity to make their own choices.”
"Choose independently. Will there still be a chance to choose independently at that time?"
Hearing this, Chu Tai was too lazy to read any more and asked, "You don't have to show me these." ’
The faint bright light swayed, and a message came: 'I have no intention of fighting with you at this moment. Compared with the possible loss of information, I would rather let you see part of the evidence. ’
Chu Tai was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: 'But this doesn't comply with the legal procedures of the current court. ’
‘Compared to punishing the criminals in Peach Mine and helping the people here, your problems are not worth mentioning. ’
Feeling that the other party was not lying, Chu Tai didn't know what to say. He sighed and said nothing more. After withdrawing from the Qi Shu Karma connection in Peach Mine City, he simply said a few words to "Grandma A'nuo" and decided to deal with the remaining little things on her body. The spider was informed of the method and turned around to leave the land.
Chu Tai in the cave looked at the information gathered in his hands and frowned slightly.
‘Are the factional conflicts and divisions within the Humane Court so serious now? ’
