Chapter 224 No One Wants to Be a Slave
Fang Xianyu, the leader of the Fang Sect mentioned by Jiao Xueling and Wei Congrong, was wearing Baili Shuang's vest. Behind a cloud in the sky, he and Elder Lu Ying were observing the situation between all the players within their sight. Neither of them spoke.
After all, the Taiyi Ziwei Sect is a branch of a sect with thousands of years of history, and it has its own foundation. Its entire mountain protection formation protects the sect tightly, and it would be difficult to break it easily.
Even if you spend system energy points to forcibly break the formation, it will still cost thousands of points, which is really a bit painful.
Thinking of this, Baili Shuang began to miss Jiao Xueling, the Taiyi Ziwei sect cultivator with whom she had deliberately "made friends" at the beginning.
Baili Shuang also heard about the matter between Jiao Xueling and her master Master Pinglin. After secretly sighing that some things are inevitable, she became curious about where Jiao Xueling would escape to.
I don't know if I can recruit her for my own use after I destroy the Taiyi Ziwei Sect, such as making her a regional agent for the Taiyin Sect, or sending her to a university to be a professor, both of which are suitable options.
Now the entire Taiyin Sect is in great need of teachers who can teach and practice! The only ones who can answer questions in the sect are a few elders and NPC disciples, most of whom are disguised by her own vests! Even if she can use the system to multitask, she is almost too busy! And Jiao Xueling has brought up so many junior brothers and sisters, she must have extremely rich teaching experience!
As she was muttering to herself, suddenly, she felt something move.
When she looked into the distance, she saw two figures flying towards her at high speed. One of them was Jiao Xueling whom she was thinking about!
Baili Shuang was overjoyed and rushed over to greet him, "Friend Jiao, long time no see!"
Jiao Xueling also greeted them warmly and introduced each other: "Fellow Daoist Baili! This is my uncle, Master Qianzhi, who was born in the Wei family of Wuzhizhou and whose real name is Wei Congrong. This is Fellow Daoist Baili Shuang, a disciple of Sect Leader Fang."
When it was Elder Lu Ying's turn, she was a little confused: "I wonder who this person is..."
Elder Lu Ying quickly introduced himself: "Oh, my name is Lu Ying, I'm the elder of Taiyin Sect, nice to meet you."
Baili Shuang also greeted him and said, "Master Qianzhi, I have heard a lot about you. The reputation of the Wei family is well-known!"
"I dare not. The Wei family is just a little bit of empty reputation, not worth mentioning." Wei greeted calmly and said straight to the point: "Hello, fellow Daoist Baili and Elder Lu, but now I have become a tree without roots. I wonder if Taiyin Sect can accommodate a small alchemy cultivator like me?"
Elder Lu Ying didn't know what to say. Baili Shuang was stunned at first, then looked at Jiao Xueling in disbelief. Seeing that she actually nodded with a smile, she finally reacted and quickly took Wei Congrong's hand and said happily: "Welcome! My Taiyin Sect welcomes all law-abiding monks!"
Wei Congrong asked again: "Where is Sect Master Fang? Is it convenient for us to meet him?"
"this……"
Baili Shuang was a little hesitant about how to arrange it. Just as she was struggling, she heard Elder Lu Ying take over the conversation: "The Sect Master is still in Taiyin Palace. Xiaoshuang, why don't you stay here and I will take the two Taoist friends to see the Sect Master, how about that?"
Baili Shuang twitched her lips in embarrassment, but nodded naturally: "Then I'll trouble Elder Lu Ying!"
Almost no one knew that "Baili Shuang" and "Fang Xianyu" were actually the same person. Even Elder Lu Ying and other people in the Flower Growing Family who knew the most information could only guess - even Wang Ergou and the others knew nothing about it!
Since it was just a guess, and Fang Xianyu showed no intention of telling, everyone tacitly kept it a secret. This was also a sign of sincerity in friendly cooperation between the two parties.
After a few polite words to each other, Jiao Xueling and Wei Congrong followed Elder Lu Ying to fly towards Taiyin Palace.
After he could no longer see Baili Shuang, Wei Congrong asked carefully, "Elder Lu, Baili Shuang should be your nephew, right? Why do you talk to each other... not like a conversation between a junior and an elder?"
"Oh, according to the traditional seniority within the sect, it can be considered as such, but in fact, she and I do not have any master-disciple relationship," Elder Lu Ying explained. "Even if there is, even between master and disciple, it is not quite the same in our Taiyin Sect as in the outside world."
Jiao Xueling recalled some of the "masters and disciples" she had met when she secretly changed her appearance and mingled around the night market outside Chang'an City. She couldn't help but whisper to Wei Congrong, "In their Taiyin Sect, it's normal for disciples to rebel!"
Elder Lu Ying had been busy with menial affairs for a long time, so his cultivation was average. At this moment, he was trying hard to control the flight of the auspicious cloud, and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, this is also a manifestation of a good relationship. More importantly, we in the Taiyin Sect do not have class divisions of high and low."
She tried to "brainwash" them with words they could understand: "In other sects, a master is a teacher for a day and a father for life, and the authority of parents and masters is even greater than heaven. Regardless of reasonable or unreasonable requests, apprentices and children must obey them. But this is actually a very typical manifestation of slavery.
"Disciples are not slaves, and children are even less so. Therefore, in the Taiyin Sect, a teacher is someone who teaches, accepts students, and resolves doubts. It is just a position. People respect him because they respect the work of the person in this position, not because they blindly admire him.
"So, in terms of personality, the master and the disciple are equal. Just like the souls of cultivators and ordinary people who have not yet started practicing, they are equally noble."
Wei calmly murmured and repeated: "Their souls... are all equally noble..."
"Yes, the reason we emphasize this is because we know that no one wants to be a slave,"
Elder Lu Ying explained carefully: "If we do not agree that all people are the same, if we believe that cultivators are naturally superior to others, then it is equivalent to agreeing that the powerful can naturally dominate the weaker ones - regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, and regardless of whether the weaker ones are willing or not.
"Then, only cultivation determines superiority, and only strength determines status. It seems that violence can solve all problems. The upper class will always be the superior, and slaves will always be slaves. Even if we are extremely talented and one in a million, there will always be more 'noble' people above us. In the end, we are also slaves."
Hearing this, even Jiao Xueling began to think about it.
"So, in order to avoid making everyone a slave, we in the Taiyin Sect have completely abandoned the backward and corrupt governance methods of other sects that are mainly based on rule by man. We rely on the rule of law!"
Elder Lu Ying boasted nonstop: "People have seven emotions and six desires, but the law does not. Perhaps due to lack of experience, the law has some loopholes, and even due to the changes of the times, some clauses are out of date, but we can constantly improve it, adjust it, and modify it. This is much better than relying solely on people's conscience and morality, isn't it?"
