Chapter 390: The Elephant King
After hearing this, the General Staff Secretary's expression became a little subtle. He asked back with a smile: "But how can you be sure who should be tried and who is just going with the flow? There is an old saying that goes, 'To punish without teaching is cruelty.' I'm afraid that pure force cannot solve the problem, right?"
"You have a point," Baili Shuang nodded frankly, "Rule by man is not as good as rule by law, but the construction of 'law' is not achieved overnight, not to mention..."
At this point, she was silent for a moment, and suddenly broke out a piece of news: "The Guixu Realm has been designed with 'laws', that is, 'the way of heaven'."
The Chief of Staff's breathing paused unnoticeably: "Is there really such a thing as 'Heaven's Way'?"
"The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and replenish the deficiency. The way of man is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus. You should have heard this saying."
Baili Shuang's expression was solemn: "On Blue Star, people probably think that this is a kind of philosophical dialectical thought, rather than referring to the objective environment. But in Guixu Realm, there is a very obvious corresponding manifestation.
"Ordinary cultivators cannot feel it yet, but once they become immortals, they will be burdened with 'karma'. At first, they may not feel anything unusual, but by the time their spiritual senses sense the 'heavenly tribulation' brought about by 'karma', it will be too late."
The Chief Staff Secretary was somewhat puzzled: "Karma? Isn't this a Buddhist term? Is there Buddhism in the Guixu Realm?"
"No, I just explained it in a way that you can understand better." Baili Shuang paused, and then continued, "So, in the Guixu Realm, as long as one has achieved success in cultivation and has sensed the 'Way of Heaven', they all like to set up official positions for themselves so that ordinary people or monks from small sects can offer them tribute. In this way, the accumulation of 'karma' can be delayed or even offset.
"Of course, this method is not without disadvantages. If you eat the offerings, you will have to bear the 'karma' of the group that offered them to you. As to whether this is better or worse, it is hard to say."
The Chief Staff Secretary frowned and said in a deep voice, "It sounds like there is a higher-dimensional being that is controlling and even judging the entire Guixu Realm."
Baili Shuang nodded: "Yes, if we compare the natural rules of the Blue Star Realm with the Guixu Realm, it does sound like something is watching us, but unfortunately, there is no evidence for this speculation at present."
As they were talking, the activity time was almost up.
Fang Xianyu, wearing Baili Shuang's vest, ended the topic with a few words and left. He then controlled his own body, took a few dragons that turned into human forms as a sign of respect, and the Quanxian tribe that also transformed into legs, and stepped onto the best viewing device - the flying boat of Chang'an Sheyi that had been decorated many times and was extremely gorgeous.
The Chang'an flying boat was not too big, it could only be said to be a medium-sized flying boat. It did not have those fancy pavilions and towers designed by the big sects, but only two three-story buildings with flying eaves on the left and right. The strange-looking "dragon" carved on the flying eaves was later "installed" by Wang Ergou and his men who had specially asked a monk who was good at refining equipment.
The flying boat was surrounded by small red flags, each with a strange pattern painted on it.
As soon as King Yinglong and his men (dragons) got on board, they discovered this strange pattern and stared at it intently.
After observing for a long time, Ping Jun couldn't help but ask softly: "Master, what is painted on this flag? Or a snake with horns?"
Fang Xianyu sighed secretly, then put on a social smile and began to save face for the players: "Oh, this, this is the flag of Chang'an Sheyi under the name of Taiyin Sect, called the 'Rising Dragon Burping Flag', with a stick figure of a dragon on it... Please forgive me if it offends you dragons."
The Dragon King of the Sea quickly waved his hands and said, "No offense, this painting is quite childish!"
Ping Jun agreed, "That's right. The disciples of Taiyin Sect are indeed very different from the disciples of other sects... uh, they always seem to have a free and easy temperament."
King Yinglong opened his mouth and wanted to join in the complimenting, but then he recalled the experience of countless players touching her skirt yesterday and excitedly shouting that they wanted her to turn into a dragon. He really couldn't bring himself to compliment her, so he could only keep silent.
Thanks to an encounter with a cat demon yesterday, King Yinglong, who was almost unable to hold back his anger, was able to calm down. The cat demon claimed that it was temporarily sent on an official business, and then it had been following King Yinglong and Lord Ping. When it encountered some daring Taiyin Sect disciples who offended it, it actually killed those disciples directly!
When she first saw that scene, Pingjun was frightened - she was very clear about the status of demon cultivators among human cultivators, and was afraid that the cat demon would be attacked by the Taiyin Sect disciples because of this incident. But she didn't expect that when other Taiyin Sect disciples saw their fellow disciples killed by the cat demon, they laughed more gloatingly than each other, which made King Yinglong and Pingjun confused for a while!
"They will all be resurrected anyway, so if they are considered too offensive, they can be killed directly... But we still have to distinguish whether they are disciples of Taiyin Sect, because some foreign cultivators are becoming more and more... reckless..."
The cat demon talked a lot, and seemed to think that Yinglong Wang and Pingjun would stay in Taiyin Sect for a long time. He even taught them to get a free magic tool called "magic mirror", saying that with this magic tool, they can identify whether the people walking on the street are Taiyin Sect players! Because as long as they wear the "magic mirror", they can see Chinese characters floating above some people's heads!
"That's called flower characters. It's a little hard to learn. I still can't recognize them all. I've failed the assessment several times! As a result, I haven't been promoted to a regular employee yet! My salary is more than half less than that of the boss - our sheriff!"
That cat demon doesn't look like a cat demon at all. He talks a lot.
"Also, if you encounter Taiyin Sect disciples whose behavior is not too extreme but still a bit offensive, you can scare them! Say that you will deduct their favorability points! Then they won't go too far!"
Many of the new words uttered by the cat demon were ones they had never heard before, and they didn't quite understand their meanings, but this did not stop Yinglong Wang and Pingjun from listening with great interest.
Because whether it was the Gugu Chicken City where they spent the whole night yesterday, or the Rongyu City today, all these places gave Yinglong Wang and others a feeling of joy and freedom. Even ordinary people who had no cultivation at all had smiles on their faces. This was a strange sight that they had never seen in any human sect or force!
Not long after reminiscing, the ears of Yinglong Wang rang with magnificent music -
“Boom boom boom—”
“Boom boom boom—”
The big drums started the battle and the bronze bells sounded.
The players rarely stopped smiling and stepped out from the innermost side of the square in time with the rhythm of the drums. Although the square formations did not look as neat as those of the flower-growing families on Blue Star, they were still very capable in the Guixu Realm where such behavior had never occurred before. Even King Yinglong, who was just trying to take a look, straightened his body unconsciously with shock in his eyes.
