Chapter Thirty-Nine Drums and Morning Bells
Chapter 39: The Down Drum and Morning Bell
This is the small building of Lingshan Yahu, one of the most famous locations in the Seven Realms. It is a very widely circulated outside, but few people can get a glimpse of the whole picture. In addition to the small building at this time, there are still endless ferries transporting guests on Tianchi Lake. On the islands, guests are staying one after another. The prelude to a water and land tea party involving the Seven Realms is in an orderly manner outside.
The conversation in the small building of the island's inner lake is not just a group of people who have nothing to do on the eve of the official tea party. In fact, when you look at the internal "linearization", there are many people who even the masters of major realms have to pay attention to. The topics discussed by everyone are also some ideological explorations that ordinary Earthly and Sea members cannot greatly involve the future survival direction of the seven realms. They are also ideological issues that laid the beginning of the water and land tea party. Jiang Lingxin hosted the tea party, and the content discussed here will inevitably be integrated into the tea party by her.
Therefore, Yang Ze's words burst out at this time and realized that they were terrible.
Sure enough, an old man named Zhuang Lao looked at him casually and snorted coldly, "In this way, I must have a great understanding of the strength of those empires in the external world. Naturally, I have some insights and I would like to hear it carefully." The old man was Zhuang Ziyu, known as the "Master of Hanmo" in Shangqiu Realm, with a status of the crown and the seventh realm. At this time, when he spoke, it was obvious that Yang Ze's words touched the nerves of some people. At least, as a person living in the seventh realm of the earth and sea, Zhuang Lao could not agree with Yang Ze's previous words that were enough to make anyone with bloody earth and sea slap the table.
Seeing Mr. Zhuang attack, the people around him suddenly looked at Yang Ze with a sympathy.
Mo Yuexin smiled at the same time, "This brother is ultimately incorrect in writing. Will the practitioners in the seventh realm of the Earth and Sea be afraid of those ruthless cultivators in the outer empires for a while. What we are discussing is not military or fatal force battles between practitioners. Instead, we are discussing how to get rid of this chaos in the Earth and Sea, and strive to purify and restore the Earth and Sea world to order as soon as possible, and defend our precious resources from being plundered and outflowed."
Yang Ze glanced at this person. What Mo Yuexin's cleverest thing was that he said was not directly questioning why Dihai was "vulnerable" in front of the empire outside. He did not mean anything to reprimand. He just pointed out that Yang Zewen was not right with the subject, with some light words. In this way, everyone around him would immediately ignore Yang Ze's stern words that were strikingly just now, and would only treat them as a joke. He could not be immediately classified as a first-class nonsense.
Some people couldn't help but speak here, "The seven realms of our earthly sea, and the masters of all major realms practiced freely. All of them were those with the mysterious cultivation. The troops of each realm had a thousand years of length and shortness, and there were 200,000 people. The masters of each realm had a total of 3,000 people. The number of guests who practiced in the inner sects of each major realm was 3,000, which was so huge. Although it was not as numerous as the practitioners of the two major human empires of the East Land, if they faced our earthly sea, would the prosperous Tang Empire have half of the power to suppress millions of soldiers and invade our earthly sea? Even so, then our earthly sea could have a far-reaching relationship with the Gaobian Empire, win over the alliance forces, and attack the emptiness of its domestic situation to resolve the crisis. From this, it can be seen that the empire would never dare to invade our earthly sea with large-scale soldiers. How could our earthly sea be 'vulnerable'?"
Yang Ze thought to himself that if there was no such question, Mo Yuexin's repeated attacks were not easy to deal with. Since he was biting this, he still had some private goods to shake, and said, "You also understand that if the empire is in a large army, he can take advantage of the empire's empire's empire to be empty, and fight from a distance, and attack from a nearby place, and put pressure on it like an ants. Thus, its power cannot be gathered together, and the beginning and end cannot be looked at, and ultimately lose sight of the other. We can think of whether those people in the empire can't control the other person by their own way? Use this strategy to deal with our earthly sea? Relying on the resources of the seven realms of the earthly sea alone is enough to arouse many forces' jealousy. Provoking these forces or provoking attacks within the earthly sea is enough to exhaust these hard efforts."
Yang Ze's understanding of the sea of earth only started from the landfall. The most profound one was during the two days he met Ling Yue. The bigger problem is that his understanding of the external situation is also very limited, and he is not at the same level as those in front of him who have a very high status and are deeply immersed in this path of power. He will lose more and he will not dare to continue his arguments and stop when he clicks.
Jiang Lingxin's eyes were slightly lit because of Yang Ze's words "By the way of returning to the other person," but after hearing the whole sentence, he sighed and shook his head, "This is finally about the issue of returning to the heart of the seven realms. After all, he still went back to the old circle."
People in the seven realms gather, and in recent years, there are many such discussions on the future of the seven realms of the earth and sea, which has gradually formed a trend and main theme. Among them, there are even more people with high reputation in the seven realms such as Jiang Lingxin, who are promising in the seven realms, and even people with extremely high reputation in the earth and sea, such as "Hanmo Master" Zhuang Ziyu.
Therefore, I would be so interested in every related discussion. But now it is obvious that Yang Ze’s answer has not convinced everyone.
Xin Xiaoxu, the "witch" in the sea of earth, who had long been in trouble, looked at Yang Ze with a playful expression. The "witch" Xu Qing smiled and looked at him up and down, but it was obvious that Xu Qing, who liked to show mercy, was quite picky about Yang Ze at this time. The man she was most keen on not only had a heroic demeanor, but also had the same organic and keen talent. It was obvious that Yang Ze was only wandering outside her eyes and had not yet seen it.
Ling Yue looked at Yang Ze worriedly and secretly felt a little worried about him.
"Master Hanmo" Zhuang Ziyu snorted coldly, "I still listen to where your so-called 'vulnerable' high theory is. It's just that he is so evasive, which is a bit ridiculous."
Mo Yuexin still smiled very gracefully, "This brother is talking about the solution we proposed to avoid the future situation becoming more complicated, so that people with ulterior motives outside will be disrupted and make profits from it. To harm the interests of the seven major realms, from now on, we must start to safeguard our own interests and form a law enforcement camp for cultivators that unite the seven realms. We are determined to do so."
After saying something, he finally used the counter-examination of the issues he raised, and immediately became more outstanding.
Yang Ze was in a state of great pleasure, feeling that he did not belong to this place. After all, he was still thinking about how to return to Daye Kingdom. He met Ling Yue and was dragged into this Yahoo Small Building. This kind of discussion was far away from him. He asked him, a person who had just arrived in the Earth Sea for half a year, to discuss the future direction of survival and development of the Earth Sea world with these people who have lived in the Earth Sea for generations. I am afraid that it would be easier for him to jump into the Heavenly Xuan realm at this moment.
Yang Ze got up from his seat and told Ling Yue that he had gone out first and was waiting for him outside.
Although Ling Yue was holding his breath, he just pulled the corner of his clothes from the bottom of his clothes, signaling not to leave, and everyone would leave later.
Everyone was shocked by Yang Ze's actions. Who among these seven realms would not expect to enter the curtain and enter the small building of Yahu Lake!? He was an unknown cloud traveler, and this little glory was enough for him to make a name for himself. The cloud traveler who worked hard in this earth and sea world, every day when the sun rises, wouldn't he just wait for such a day to stand out like this? Who knew that he had to leave without even sitting on the hot side? This was the first strange trip in recent years! He was definitely the first person!
"This Yang... Yang Sanshui friend, since she has come to Xiaozhu with Ling Yue, she is my friend of Jiang Lingxin. I'd better wait for the end of the small gathering and use food and snacks here before leaving..." Jiang Lingxin didn't know Yang Ze's name before, and then said after leaning over and listening to others' words. Over the years, everyone has been flocking to this, and is proud of being invited by her. There has never been a reason why customers leave halfway through this.
If Yang Ze had left halfway, her face would probably be bad, so she would have tried to keep her by saying that she would keep her.
"Brother Sanshui, don't leave now, let's go together later. At worst, we can go down Lingshan together." Although Ling Yue secretly admired Jiang Lingxin, seeing others rushing to him so much, he felt it empathized with him. His tone was as hard as a rock, which made Jiang Lingxin frown slightly.
Ling Qiuyan said coldly, "Where do you want to go? You can't go anywhere later! When the tea party is over, go back to Jingyun City with me!"
Mo Yuexin obviously hasn't used this to "enjoy" and has been trying to eliminate and beat him, and is not allowed to do anything. "This... Brother Sanshui, Mr. Zhuang hasn't heard your 'vulnerable' theory just now, why should he be so humble?"
Xin Xiaoxu, who had been watching the game, also heard a beautiful voice at this moment, "Yes, I really want to hear your high theory!" She is known as the "witch", so don't worry that she will not bite her mouth hard at critical moments.
Of course, the people around him understood what was going on. How could Yang Ze escape? He laughed in his heart and spoke out to keep him.
Looking at Ling Yue who was holding the corner of his clothes, he saw his eyes fighting alone if Yang Ze left. He felt a little reluctant, and looked at the proud Mo Yuexin, so he made a decision, thinking that this was your push, and said, "I heard you say you want to form a law enforcement organization to specifically eliminate and purify the overseas forces in the area, including travelers and some private villages. I can only evaluate this method as "stupid"!"
Amid Mo Yuexin's color change and the uproar around him, Yang Ze continued, "First of all, you did not consider that the forces on the periphery and the Yunyou Group are already complex and profound. I don't believe that any Yunyou Group has no other purpose or background besides their own interests." Yang Ze can be sure of this because Li Aoxiao, who was tracking his "Cangye Snow Wolf" Yunyou forces, had an ulterior motive with Kashima Shindozhai. At the same time, it is very likely that behind him is working for Kashima Country again.
"Since these cloud travelers have already been behind the complex background, how can you be sure that the countries and forces behind them can watch the law enforcement teams sent by your Earth and Sea Seven Realms to clear up this chaos and gather resources that originally belonged to them? How can you be sure that they allow you to take over their carefully managed layout for many years? This decision will inevitably lead to a larger-scale conflict, and it is more likely that the opposition between the national forces behind these cloud travelers and the Earth and Sea Seven Realms will be directly tear apart. It can only make the seven realms crisis you are worried about come early!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaozhu Yahu fell into silence. This was the deep impression of Yang Ze's experience of life and death during this period. In addition, he was not a person in the seven realms of the Earth and Sea, so when he was out of the matter, he often saw it more clearly.
Even Mr. Zhuang, who has always despised him, has to admit that his inference is very reasonable. If they continue to follow Mo Yuexin's plan, they will indeed face the possibility of a positive conflict of interest.
Mo Yuexin was obviously unwilling to be suppressed by Yang Ze in this way, and he could not face the unknown wandering lord, saying, "You also know that the possibility of large-scale wars in the sea of earth is impossible. The problem now is that this is our land. How dare those outsiders conflict with us? Unless we are really vulnerable in their eyes, after all, Brother Yang still has not explained why we are vulnerable."
"The seven realms of the earth and sea have more than 200,000 people fighting, and there are 3,000 practitioners. If you encounter a life and death, you will definitely be able to join the group and join the fist, return to your heart, and solve the biggest problem since the split of the seven realms. Let me ask about the strong enemies abroad, even if they are like crazy lions and leopards, we are even ants. When facing the gold-eating ants that are embraced, they are connected in groups, and are covered with pieces, how can these strong enemies do to us? Ask me for advice." Zhuang Ziyu said seriously.
**********
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Yang Ze closed his eyes as if thinking in everyone's eyes, then opened it and asked, "I would like to ask everyone, in a world where practice has gained the power to compete with nature and has broken through the constraints of secular etiquette and law, what do you think is the root cause of maintaining the rule of an empire?"
Jiang Lingxin's eyes lit up and she fell into thinking. Everyone around her also thought about it because she had never thought about this problem from this perspective.
In the world of the crowd, the Earth and Sea world has always been a place where strong people are respected. The same is true for practitioners. Practitioners who master the truth of the heavenly way have extremely strong power and can come and go freely in the secular world. If you want to erase a person's existence, you can do it with every move and be even more unrestrained afterwards. Such strategic weapons and weapons exist in those empires, although they are very few, but they still exist. So why can the royal power or the imperial power be firmly present? The Earth and Sea world has never had the so-called royal power and imperial power, so no one thinks like this.
"Is it a stronger force?" someone said.
"What can I restrict the stronger power?" Yang Ze asked back. The other party was speechless immediately.
However, this unprecedented proposition he put forward had already caused a mental storm for everyone present, causing everyone to fall into endless inference and imagination.
Yang Ze said again, "Or another way, why are there Shendaozhai, Temple Situ, Nantiandao, East No Orthodox Church and other religions in the kingdom and empire? Why are so many practitioners and so many secular people converting to the sects, willing to sacrifice their youth and energy for these sects without any compensation, and maybe even life? Are not practitioners selfish? Isn't this world a prey on the weak? Are these people fools? None of them, but there is a kind of power in this world that is more terrible than the power of practice and stronger than the power of nature. Cultivation can kill hundreds of people, but this power can make thousands of people pay blood and life for it! Let unarmed people fight and make sheep become evil wolf. This power that is more terrible than practice is called thought and faith."
A word was thrown out, especially Yang Ze's so-called "faith" that was extremely novel and even unheard of, and needles could be heard in the hall of Yahu Xiaozhu, and only one after another, breathing sounded.
This is the earth-sea world, which is a mixed place of fish and dragons. It has been covered by the concept of the prehistoric world for thousands of years. Generations of people survive, reproduce, develop and then continue. But until today, for the first time, in this vast spiritual mountain realm, the word "faith" has never been heard from such a unique perspective. In this world where almost no one has ever discussed the topic of religious topics of imperial power, the inspiration sounded like a morning bell.
It made people's ears buzz.
"This is the biggest difference. What controls the warrior's actions and kills is faith. It enables people to endure all hardships and pains and achieve their chosen goals."
Yang Ze made a sound, "Apart from thoughts and beliefs, there is no other power in the world that can establish absolute domination and authority in the human spirit and mind."
In the space where the words were temporarily finished, Ling Qiuyan couldn't help but lightly press the table next to her. Jiang Lingxin said "Ha!" and said, including Mo Yuexin, Xin Xiaoxu, Xu Qing and others, all straightened their spines from the movements of their hands and limbs, and looked at Yang Ze in horror.
Zhuang Ziyu opened his mouth slightly, and his lips were trembling because he was too excited, "Okay, okay. I'm very interested, continue to talk, continue to talk."
"In the eyes of those royal power and imperial power empires that have long established their faith, this is the case with the seven realms of the Earth and Sea. Even if they can return to their hearts on the surface, they have no absolute thoughts and beliefs. They can truly condense the seven realms into one. In the eyes of those empires that have long played with this set of perfection, the seven realms of the Earth and Sea are just a group of lambs that are gathered in the face of crisis and whispering. It is like a plate of loose sand. No matter how water is added, it cannot be condensed into a real fist. In the face of absolute fist power, it will fall apart and be vulnerable."
Yang Ze finished speaking, but he stabbed everyone's heart like a sharp knife, and even stripped them away in the most direct and sharp way for several years, even dozens or hundreds of years, or the earth and sea world has never solved the problems in the past thousand years.
And for Yang Ze, a modern person with a different experience in time and space, these things are not the ultimate problem of the universe. Countless philosophers have already proved the power of thought and belief. This power is even more spread all over the place in the modern society of time and space, and it is not out of time, and it is a truth that will not disappear for hundreds of billions of years.
Although this world has a very high level of poetry practice, it is still not as advanced ideas and concepts as Yang Zeyi's time and space. After saying this, it is like an invisible hand holding an invisible hammer and knocking everyone down.
Everyone showed a look of horror and surprise.
"When Yang said this, if the seven realms of the earth and sea really want to truly rise in this corner of the Far East, the most important thing is not violent restraint and confrontation, but to truly establish the faith of the people on this land from the bottom of his heart, which is far higher than the power of practicing the way of heaven." Yang Ze dug it out, knowing that he should leave at this moment, otherwise if he continues to discuss it in depth, he will basically become a philosophical dwarf. Then he said in Ling Yue's ear that he went out to wait for him, and then got up and walked away.
The voices of Jiang Lingxin and other women were faintly heard behind, as well as the call of the old man Zhuang Ziyu.
All left behind.
