The country of Dayan, like Nanping before it, was a dynasty with a royal family.
But the difference is that they are regarded as mortals ruling the world, and the sect is hidden behind the scenes.
The popular 'cultivation' sect in the world belongs to Jianghu sect in the eyes of County Magistrate Li, and he will not really be regarded as an immortal just because he cultivates truth.
The highest they can reach is the fourth level, and people like this are rare.
There are not many people there, so naturally it will not be the same as other places. Qi refiners and mortals are not the same species.
Not to mention that those people themselves are not strong. What does the second-level Gu Yuan mean? When dealing with some mortals, if there are too many mortals, they will pick up weapons and beat them to death.
The same is true for the third level. If the army is together, it will be equally bad.
There is naturally a delicate balance between the dynasty and these cultivation sects.
Some casual cultivators without sects would also seek refuge with the government, serve as worshippers, and work for the government.
As for the imperial dynasty, there are naturally more cultivators making offerings.
Good and evil confront each other, the dynasty is in the middle, and all ghosts are rampant. This is Dayan today.
"The Immortal doesn't know that although humans and ghosts live together, as parents and officials, if we can get rid of the ghosts in the county, it will not only benefit the people, but also be my political achievement!"
County Magistrate Li will not hide anything. It is true that he wants to save people, and it is also true that he wants to be promoted.
Even if these immortals cannot solve them all, as long as they are effective, that is enough.
Magistrate Li sighed and said:
"In this county, people have died every day since I took office. No matter how hard the people try to hide, there will always be people who can't escape. I'm better off. I have a reputation, so I'm not afraid of ghosts."
Hearing this, Song Yin's eyes narrowed and he looked at the county magistrate carefully.
"Do you have fame?" Zhang Feixuan asked curiously, "Does this fame help you avoid ghosts?"
"Is it possible that the Immortal doesn't know this?"
Magistrate Li said: "In my yamen, we don't have to be as cautious as the common people at night, because there is an official atmosphere here, and all ghosts are not allowed to come near. The same is true for people with fame. As long as they have fame, they are not afraid to go out at night. It’s a ghost.”
"This is surprising"
Zhang Feixuan also found it strange, "Can mortals rely on reading to avoid ghosts?"
He had never heard of it.
Studying is not cultivating Taoism. Otherwise, great talents like Yao Ningqing would be troubled by ghosts and gods.
As a result, it wasn't like it was sucked into a dregs.
Song Yin's eyes narrowed at this time, and he said calmly: "There is a mysterious aura, which is quite powerful."
"Senior brother, have you seen it?" Zhang Feixuan asked.
Song Yin nodded: "My eyes naturally illuminate everything with candles. Magistrate Li, have you never come into contact with the sect?"
"Shangxian, I have been studying since I was a child. I wanted to practice cultivation when I was young, but those sects said that I didn't have the qualifications." Magistrate Li said.
When he was young, he also wanted to put on a Taoist robe, travel around, encounter ghosts and demons, eliminate demons, and make the world clear, but he didn't have the qualifications, so he gave up and went to study.
"It's not cultivation, but it has nothing to do with your studies. It's just because this so-called 'fame' has given you a layer of protection. Although it cannot be used, it can also protect you."
Song Yin frowned and said: "His aura is very pure. Since he has never been in contact with the sect, who is protecting you, Yan?"
He is very familiar with this kind of magic power, not because he is familiar with his sect, but because this method is essentially the same as the master sending out rocks to protect mortals from evil spirits.
All have the ability to protect.
In this Great Yan, apart from the evil ways and the so-called good and evil cultivators controlled by the evil ways, is there really the same right way as them that is fighting against the evil ways?
"I've never heard of it."
County Magistrate Li shook his head, "We have known since we were young that if you study and gain fame, you will be immune to all evil. What's more, a high-ranking official can expel evil and eliminate ghosts by just opening his mouth."
He cupped his hands toward the west: "Dayan is Dayan, how can he be protected by someone? If he really wants to be blessed, it must be His Majesty's blessing."
"In that case, why don't you let those high officials come to get rid of the ghosts?" Song Yin frowned.
"The Immortal is joking, high officials are just like the people in the Mahayana period, they are rare and they are all chosen by heaven. It is good if they can suppress Yandu, the world is too big, even if they are willing, they are powerless."
Those first- and second-grade officials have their own affairs to take care of. If they try to trick someone, any move will cause worse things to happen.
The county magistrate only governs a county, the prefect governs a prefecture, and the governor governs a region. The higher the position, the more powerless one feels.
County Magistrate Li said helplessly, and then continued: "Shangxian, I would rather tell you how to save the people in this county government."
Song Yin nodded thoughtfully: "This is not difficult. Hundreds of ghosts are the result of human resentment. In this case, just let the mortals dispel their resentments. The first step is to let the mortals not be afraid of ghosts!"
"this"
County Magistrate Li frowned, cupped his hands and said: "Shangxian, it's okay for my little county magistrate not to be afraid of ghosts, but it would be difficult to make the people not afraid of ghosts. Ghosts are deeply rooted in people's hearts, and every household is accustomed to it. How can we make people not afraid of ghosts?" ah?"
Who in Dayan is not afraid of ghosts?
This is not a rumor in Dayan, it is a real thing. In those wilderness areas, ghosts can be seen in broad daylight.
"Everyone has books to read, right? You said fame can ward off ghosts."
Wang Qizheng looked sideways at Zhang Feixuan and said angrily: "Is it possible that there is some ghost family here that controls the government, holds books tightly, and prevents people from studying?"
"Look what I do!"
Zhang Feixuan bared his teeth and said, "I'm not from Dayan!"
"Oh? Do you admit that your family controls the government and holds onto books?" Wang Qizheng smiled ferociously.
"Brother, he slandered me!" Zhang Feixuan turned to look at Song Yin.
Their family used to be in Dai Viet, a family with a master, but it was useless, and the sect didn't treat them as human beings.
But before Song Yin could react, Magistrate Li smiled bitterly:
"I don't know, I wish everyone could read, but the key is that they don't!"
It is the national policy of the Yan Dynasty that everyone should study and seek fame. Let alone being an official, being a scholar can help oneself, and being a scholar can protect one's family.
Those who study will become a master, and there are even official schools for people to study. Dayan promotes this every day.
Even so, not many can actually be read.
"No matter how earnest I am, I still don't want to read what I don't want to read. People will think that they can avoid ghosts if they don't go out at night. They will admit they are unlucky when they encounter them. But if they are really unlucky, they will complain about it. land."
County Magistrate Li sighed: "Every day I mention that reading is the only way. I've said it all, but no one comes to read. Either there is a lack of labor in the family and they are taken away, or the children don't want to study, and they are still tearing up if they go too far. Shuwan thinks that what we teach is useless and limits their nature."
"I said that studying can change the world, and it is something that can protect my family, but I just don't listen, as if I have harmed them!"
"I always feel that they can live a good life without studying. But with fame and fame, it is relatively easy to live. But if they don't work, they have to take the more difficult road. Some people think that raising pigs is better than studying. Okay, mother, it will be easier to raise pigs now that you have fame!"
County Magistrate Li cursed and then shook his head: "There is really no way!"
