Chapter 185 The Truth (Repair)
Before, when Li Ye and Mall met in Teotihuacan City, it was the first time that he had seen the skills of the True God of the Crescent Moon Sect. He still remembered the scene where the True God could point them in the "Starship" and let them find the secret of heaven smoothly.
There is no doubt that the True God of the Crescent Sect is a powerful existence. Not only has the ability to defeat the old Saint Buddha of Shimen and force the other party to defend Tianzhu and lead the Tang Dynasty to make a last-ditch effort, but also vaguely grasp the clues of power outside this world.
Facing such an opponent head-on is something Li Ye has been looking forward to for a long time.
In the fairyland west of the Qihe River Basin and east of the Dashimulu City, the army of immortals in the Tang Dynasty confronted the immortal monks of the Crescent Sect.
The leaders of both sides' battle formations were all powerful people with the strength of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. Feihong, Niu Demon King, and Yang Jian are the three giants of the Immortal of the Tang Dynasty. Behind each other's troops are gathered, with majestic momentum and demeanor.
On the side of the Crescent Sect, four powerful people confronted them.
The men's beards are all wide, because of the color and denseness of their hair, they are very stunning as a "Golden Lion King"; the women's eyebrows are as frosty as they are, and their robes are also rustling. Looking at the flags beside them, we can see that these monks are the four great guardians under the True God of the Crescent Sect.
In front of the two armies, clouds gather like mountains, flags like waves, and under the faint confrontation of spiritual energy, the long and heavy thunder sounds sounded from time to time, setting off the tense atmosphere of swords.
Seeing that one was about to attack and the other was about to counterattack, the powerful men looked like iron, the monks looked like swords, and they stared at each other fiercely. One was about to fight when the aura was unstable. On the two armies, Li Ye and the True God finally appeared slowly.
"I thought the Crescent Sect and the Tang Dynasty would meet in the end, but I never expected this to be the case. Your strength is beyond my expectations and is an opponent worth facing it." The True God did not hold his head and looked at Li Ye and said lightly.
Behind him, the light of spirit is as sunny as the sun, and you cannot look directly at it. The spiritual energy around him is as fog, floating like colorful butterflies flying. It seems that from the moment He appears, all the beauty in the world has gathered here to Him, and it changes with His thoughts.
Full of momentum and unparalleled.
Li Ye smiled calmly, "In this war in this world, all the failed parties who have prepared in advance will feel that their opponents are stronger than their expectations - if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have been defeated."
"Do you think you are already a winner?" Zhen Shen asked teasingly.
Li Ye said: "At least I don't think that the strength of the Crescent Sect is beyond imagination."
"Since that's the case, it seems that besides fighting and fighting for victory or death, there is no other way between you and me." The true god said calmly.
Li Ye said: "Although this world is big, it can only allow one voice to issue orders, and only a flag can be used for people to follow. Only in this way can the people living in heaven and earth truly integrate and unite, and exert their greatest strength to meet the challenges and future of the vast world outside the region."
After hearing this, the true god pondered for a moment.
After a while, He nodded slightly and said, "You are indeed an extraordinary emperor and are also far-sighted enough. Over the years, I have seen many kings who use various means to control their people.
"Some people use swords to threaten people's bodies, forcing them to submit, and some use the seemingly righteous and beautiful and bright doctrine of fools to imprison people's thoughts, so that they can either be willing to die for them, or unknowingly make bricks and stones for them. Many of these people have accomplished great achievements and even established strong empires.
"However, those who use swords, those who use crossbows, those who borrow the name of God, and those who use the banner of the people. The world is constantly quarrels, and today, they are still fighting for each other, and they cannot see the day when they really calm down.
"Ordinary people always admire heroes, hoping that the other party can fulfill their wishes and let them live in a world of truly wealth, peace, freedom and no oppression. For this reason, they do not hesitate to fight with the other party and sacrifice their lives. However, in the end, they can only find sadly that the heroes in their eyes have become heroes!
"The bloody battle of thousands of warriors is not a paradise, a perfect paradise, a great era, but another new dynasty. The emperor is above all else, and the powerful are still powerful, and the hard-earned money of ordinary people is still exploited by them using various means, either light or dark.
"Most of the people in this world are those who have been sold and counted money for others. They are being exploited, but they are still praising the kindness and fraternity of the emperors and the powerful, and cannot see the truth of their suffering. When they can eat meat and wear clothes, they think that this is a prosperous era, but they never think that this is a gift of civilization and progress, not the powerful!
"Li Ye, you always say that you are for the people of the Tang Dynasty and for the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Is this flag not the guise of using the Tang people to fight for you? Your imperial cultivation has reached today. Don't say you don't know, and don't refuse to admit that there are only three types of existences in an empire - shepherds, shepherds and sheep."
After hearing these words, Li Ye was stunned.
He didn't expect that the True God would say so much to him as soon as he met; he didn't expect that the other party would say such things to him.
No matter what the true God intends, the fact that He can say these words to Li Ye in person means that in His heart, Li Ye is qualified to discuss these truths with him.
While Li Ye pondered, the True God continued: "People always hope that there is no oppression in this world and that everyone can enjoy fairness. However, they don't think about it. If a shepherd does not have wool or eat mutton, will he still be called a shepherd?
"The world is bustling, and it is all for profit. If there is no profit for the emperors and the powerful, what will they do to establish an empire?"
Li Ye interrupted the true god's words and said seriously: "Whether there is no protection of the dynasty, what will happen to the people if there is no government to maintain order, and if there are strong people who do evil, what will happen to the people if there is no government to maintain order?"
The real god smiled, "So you think it is natural for emperors and officials to exploit the people?"
Li Ye shook his head: "It is natural to collect taxes, and it is just a protection fee. It is indeed not necessary to squeeze."
The True God asked: "Does the officials of the Tang Dynasty have no fertile land? Do those who hold power in their hands eat and use so-called salary?"
Li Ye also smiled, "So the practice techniques are widely spread throughout the Tang Dynasty so that the people can practice."
The true god said in a deep voice: "So what?"
Li Ye said: "With the people's military force, they can guarantee the most basic dignity. When the empire's exploitation breaks through the bottom line, they can rise up and resist instead of just talking and sighing - oh, maybe they don't even dare to talk.
"The empire is afraid of large-scale riots among the people, and even forming troops and threatening national order, so it dares not exploit them too ruthlessly."
The True God said coldly: "Is this your solution?"
Li Ye said: "It's not the most perfect method, but it's the most basic one."
The chill in the voice of the True God: "If the people have force in their hands, there will inevitably be problems. Haven't you ever thought that some criminals will kill people in the street?"
Li Ye said: "Isn't this a problem that the government should solve when murdering a criminal? If you want to kill someone, a kitchen knife can be used. But under the civilization of cultivation, the kitchen knife is really no threat to the army and cannot maintain its dignity. Therefore, they must have cultivation."
Speaking of this, Li Ye's thoughts drifted away for a moment.
Some empires were once a place of exile, but later relied on force to resist oppression and establish a country. Force was their last means to protect their freedom, dignity and rights. Such empires would not ban their force even if someone committed a crime in the street.
It is not that the emperors and the powerful are unwilling, but that the people are unwilling. They know that the force that everyone has is their last reliance on maintaining freedom and dignity in front of the powerful are the bottom line.
The True God took a deep breath and said slowly: "So, your Tang Dynasty really requires ordinary people to have fairness and freedom?"
Li Ye nodded solemnly.
This is his faith.
The true god stared at Li Ye and asked word by word: "Are you really afraid that they will oppose you?"
Li Ye smiled openly, "If my dynasty did not harm the people or exploit the people, how could they oppose me? If they did not let them practice and take away their minimum ability to oppose the dynasty, the dynasty lost the checks and balances from the people, and one party of the social contract was just fish on the chopping board. How could the other party abide by such a contract?
"Only such an empire will really continue to move into the vicious cycle of corruption, darkness, depravity, and change of dynasties. If there really is that day, I hope such a dynasty will no longer exist. The people of the Tang Dynasty need new emperors and a group of new officials."
Hearing these words, the true god's eyes were solemn.
When He looked at Li Ye's eyes, he looked fearful for the first time.
In this round of confrontation about the heart of Tao, He did not take any advantage. Instead, he understood Li Ye's strength because of the in-depth conversation.
People cannot have no desires and selfish desires. This is especially true, emperors and powerful people. What can limit them is the truly civilized people and the force they hold.
Such a world is not the world in front of you.
An emperor with thoughts like Li Ye should not be the one born in this world.
