Chapter 225 What a Disgrace
Wei calmly said: "It sounds like it has a lot in common with the functions of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Criminal Law Department within the sect?"
"It is somewhat similar, but the essence is completely different," said Elder Lu Ying. "In most sects that are mainly ruled by people, even if there are sect rules or laws, the people who enforce them are the elders and managers who hold high positions of power. Even if they act according to the rules, there are too many places where they can be flexible. Moreover, most of the time, convictions are still based on customary law. The law enforcers are bound to power, which will cause injustice.
“The simplest example is that people are above the law, and elders and clan leaders are not subject to punishment. Absurd things like using merits to offset faults often occur.
"But our Taiyin Sect is different. The law is above people. Even the Sect Master must obey the law. And the law, the law, and the punishment are completely separate. Those who make the law are not qualified to enforce the law, and those who enforce the law cannot interfere with the punishment. At the same time, they are just a profession and are not bound to rights.
“For example, the city of Chang’an is managed by a few cat demons. Although they are nominally from Chang’an, they are not even disciples of the Taiyin Sect.
"These are just some ordinary positions. They neither represent absolute rights nor elevate their status."
"I see……"
Jiao Xueling and Wei nodded calmly, as if they understood the general meaning of Elder Lu Ying.
Afterwards, several people talked about the structure of Taiyin Sect. Of course, it was mainly Elder Lu Ying who gave the unilateral introduction.
The Taiyin Sect currently has only two elders. Elder Lu Ying is in charge of various miscellaneous affairs, while the other elder Zhang Can is elusive and is mainly responsible for military support. Apart from arresting the monks who caused trouble in Chang'an City earlier, it is basically difficult to see him.
But strictly speaking, whether it is the sect master Fang Xianyu or the two elders, they are mainly responsible for managing the disciples of Taiyin Sect, but most people under the rule of Taiyin Sect are not its disciples...
"Take Chang'an City for example. Chang'an City is the main city of Chang'an Sheyi. The governance and laws of the city are all arranged by Chang'an Sheyi itself. Even I, an elder of Taiyin Sect, cannot control them. At most I can give some advice.
"Although the city lord and many city managers are disciples of the Taiyin Sect, there are also some who are not, and even demon cultivators account for a certain proportion among them."
Elder Lu Ying smiled and said, "So, under the rule of Taiyin Sect, you don't have to join the Taiyin Sect. You can work in any position. It's not forced, and you will still receive corresponding treatment and protection."
Wei Congrong and Jiao Xueling looked at each other, and both of them had a gloomy expression.
The reason why most of the many sects in Guixu Realm exist in the form of sects is because this acquired master-disciple relationship that is separated from the family is an extremely clever redistribution of resources.
The child born by two monks with extremely high cultivation may be "naturally disabled", and the child born by ordinary mortals with "natural disabilities" may occasionally have an extremely rare talent.
Of course, compared to ordinary people, cultivators have more resources and can use more means when they are pregnant. After all, "natural disability" is not a fatal condition, and there are many natural treasures that can be changed. This is why it seems that most people who come from cultivator families can also embark on the journey of cultivation.
The existence of the sect is to gather these monks who can practice together to form a more stable group and obtain resources. This is also very similar to the habits of many animal species in the animal world, which is essentially a manifestation of the law of the jungle.
In order to provide a more solid "guarantee" for this relationship, "joining a sect" has become a simple and intuitive habit.
Joining a sect generally means that you can never escape, and your life and death will be branded by the sect - except in extremely special and rare circumstances, such as breaking up or defecting.
The Wei family and Penglai Sect had a split, but because the Wei family had its own confidence, it was still recognized and respected by many forces. And people like Wei Congrong would be despised and looked down upon in any of the Ten Continents and Three Islands.
In Guixu Realm, betraying a sect is a crime that is condemned by thousands of people. And betraying a sect and joining another sect is an extremely rare and despicable act, and its impact is even worse than that of Lu Bu, the notorious slave of three surnames during the Three Kingdoms period.
Then, what Elder Lu Ying said is very interesting. The subtext is probably that Taiyin Sect does not force you to change your allegiance, but still provides you with protection.
What, doing charity? Aren't you afraid that some monks will jump back and forth and betray the Taiyin Sect?
After chatting for a while, they finally arrived at Taiyin Palace. Fang Xianyu was getting a little impatient waiting in the palace.
The Taiyin Palace is not very luxurious, and cannot compare to the ordinary halls of the Taiyi Ziwei Sect, but it has a majestic and majestic style of its own. In addition, it is located on auspicious clouds, surrounded by mist and ethereal air, which makes it look even more shocking.
Jiao Xueling had been to Taiyin Palace before, so it was fine. However, Wei Congrong was a little shocked.
I was not shocked by the scale of Taiyin Palace - this thing really could not be called large. If all the buildings on the auspicious cloud were added together, they would not even be more than 10% of the buildings of Ziwei Sect. What shocked me was the ability of the auspicious cloud to carry palaces and pavilions.
Although the auspicious clouds were bestowed by immortals and gods, controlling and using them requires very profound cultivation. If the spiritual power is not enough, they are not as useful as ordinary flying swords, spiritual weapons and other items.
And the fact that such a large complex with so many buildings can be placed on the auspicious clouds for a long time shows that the amazing strength behind it is indeed extremely exaggerated.
There are five doors on the front of the hall, three in the middle and one on each side.
What surprised Wei Congrong and Jiao Xueling was that in such a solemn and dignified place, they could actually see many Taiyin Sect disciples laughing and playing in groups of three or four, and some even tried to stand on the edge of the roof eaves to perform the Golden Rooster Stand, and some climbed up by rubbing against the pillars.
This is simply...
What a disgrace! ?
The words of the old villain Si Yinxianren, the grand elder of Taiyi Ziwei Sect, suddenly emerged in Wei Congrong's mind.
Jiao Xueling was also a little shocked, but only for a moment. Then she inexplicably felt that this seemed to be something that a disciple of the Taiyin Sect could do.
The sharp-eyed players saw the three people and immediately shouted: "Huh? Why is Elder Lu Ying here!?"
"There are two NPCs I haven't seen yet! Are they new plot NPCs after the update?"
"I think I've seen that guy over there... ssss, I can't remember it! Take a screenshot and post it on the forum to ask!"
"This game is outrageous. We are not involved in it, but there are all kinds of messed up plots. With such a large amount of computing power, they are not afraid of burning down their computer room!"
Amid the discussions, some players pretended to be heartbroken and shouted to Elder Lu Ying: "Hey! Elder Lu Ying! I want to choose a master! When can I choose? When will you start work? You can't be an NPC like this! You are not active at work! You have a problem with your thinking! I will report it to the central government! Report it to the central government!"
