"Fellow Taoist Worshiping the Moon, why did you just call me Pindao Leader?"
Cao Yi smiled and asked knowingly.
"The Taoist Master wants to establish a religion, and I want to be under the Taoist Master's command. Naturally, I should call the Taoist Master the leader."
Baiyue said without hesitation.
Cao Yi is the most intelligent person he has ever seen in his life.
"It's good that you can join Taoism, but Pindao is not the leader. The Taoism that Pindao believes in is not a monotheistic religion, but a concept. 'Tao', as the ontology of the universe and the law of all things, is a mysterious existence that transcends time and space. "Tao" It is the origin of all things..."
Cao Yi explained.
Cao Yi has said these words to many people, but most of them seem to understand.
"It coincides with me." Bai Yue understood, and his eyes flashed brightly, but then dimmed again, "I have always been very contradictory. I want to educate those ignorant people and let them truly understand this The world is a complete harp, so I had to rely on Shinto, establish a majestic image, and force them to accept it. But in the end, they still disappointed me. They were completely uninterested in the knowledge I imparted."
“Actually, it’s not their fault.”
Cao Yi said with a smile.
"It's not their fault?"
Baiyue looked at Cao Yi in surprise.
"You are too impatient. You want to use a mere ten or twenty years to get people to accept knowledge that can only be accepted after hundreds or even thousands of years of social development and accumulation of knowledge. You are doomed to fail."
Cao Yi explained.
"In addition, you also made a big mistake. You told the world that the earth is round. It is limited by common sense. Most people simply cannot accept it. Take a step back. Even if you accept it, so what? This is too far for them."
Cao Yi then said again.
Baiyue thought for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case. He wondered: "Then what should I do? Please teach me, Taoist Priest."
Cao Yi stood up, with his hands behind his back, looking at the rolling mountains in the clouds and mist, and said: "If you want the world to agree that the earth is round, you don't need to tell them, you just need to say, somewhere across the ocean, Gold is like mountains, silver is like sea, and spices are everywhere. As long as some people are willing to go, they will gradually lead countless people. In the process, people in the world will gradually know that the earth is round."
"Inducement is beneficial." Baiyue said with a sarcastic smile, "It seems that the leader, like me, is very aware of the bad nature of the world."
"The world is greedy, arrogant, jealous, wrathful, lazy, gluttonous, and lustful. It is better to destroy this world and build a new one."
he went on to say.
"How can a profit-loving person be a bad person?" Cao Yi looked at Baiyue, who was very young and at the top of his cultivation level but still had a twenty-second score, in a funny way, and said: "A profit-loving person who yearns for wealth and a better life is a progressive person. A sort of"
As he spoke, Cao Yi waved his hand, and a picture of a pigsty that was difficult to look at appeared.
"Look at these pigs. They only know how to eat every day and are not interested in anything other than eating. As a result, thousands or tens of thousands of years have passed and they have not made any progress. Do you want people to live like pigs?"
Worshiping the moon thoughtfully.
Cao Yi said again, "You usually like to read and behave elegantly. Come to think of it, do you want everyone in the world to be like this?"
Baiyue nodded. This was an important reason why he looked down on the world.
He is as ignorant as a pig, but refuses to read, and is so rude that he is no different from a beast. But he refused to learn etiquette.
"Then have you ever thought about it? To achieve this goal, you can't just kill all the people in the world. You have to make the world rich and let external forces generally replace manpower, so that people have free time. Otherwise, you will bulldoze the world. A thousand times in vain."
Cao Yi said.
How can modern people satisfy their material needs while enjoying modern spiritual life? It is not all due to technological progress.
Of course, even if you say these words directly to Baiyue, he won't understand.
"Replacing manpower with external force? If the Taoist priest says this, he must know how to do it."
Baiyue looked eagerly.
"It's a long story, but it starts with the steam engine..."
Cao Yi talked eloquently about a lot of things he had seen before using Bianhua.
By the way, it is indeed a bit inconsistent for a Taoist priest to say this.
But when it comes to technology geeks like Bai Yue, it’s really hard not to come up with something real.
"I never thought that people could reach this point without relying on cultivation."
There was an unhealthy blush on Baiyue's face.
"By the way, are you a native of Nanzhao?"
Cao Yi suddenly asked.
Baiyue looked straight and explained: "I am not a native of Nanzhao. My ancestors are from Yizhou. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the world was in chaos. My ancestors took their people and moved south to this place. They settled down and have multiplied to this day."
“That’s good”
Although he has experienced so many worlds, Cao Yi still adheres to one principle: Yi and Di cannot disrupt China.
If Bai Yue were a native of Nanzhao, not only would all the things mentioned before be cleared from Bai Yue's mind. The moon worshippers will also be cleaned up.
There was silence for a while.
Baiyue suddenly said: "If we do what the Taoist priest said, can we really build an earthly kingdom of God where the world is unified and everyone is friendly, regardless of region or ethnic group?"
Why, after talking for a long time, worshiping the moon is still so childish.
Cao Yi really doubted whether he had chosen the wrong person.
"Great unity can only be the great unity of some people, such as me, the people of Middle-earth."
"In my hometown, there is a country that is the strongest among all the countries. Its people are less than half of the total population of the countries, but its consumption accounts for 30% of the total consumption of the countries. The other countries share the remaining 70%, why? No matter what in the world Everything has a certain quota, and it cannot satisfy everyone. In the end, the one with the bigger fist will get more."
Baiyue was silent for a while and then said: "What the Taoist said makes sense."
…
Early the next morning.
The palace, the courtyard.
Cao Yizheng and Baiyue sat on both sides of the stone table and drank tea.
Suddenly, a man and a woman walked in from outside.
This man and woman are none other than the Jiujianxian and the Holy Aunt.
The Jiujianxian's face was full of youth, and he was well-dressed, and the decadence of the past was gone.
The saint's face was rosy and shiny, and there was a hint of spring in her eyes that could not be concealed.
Obviously, the two of them did a lot of unspeakable things last night.
"Senior brother, who is this?"
Cao Yi stood up to greet him and asked, pretending not to know.
When Jiu Jianxian thought about what happened last night, he felt a green light coming from his head. However, he was also an open-minded person, and it was Cao Yi who helped him so that he could successfully confirm his relationship with the holy aunt.
"This is the holy aunt, whose surname is Ming and whose name is Yuanqing."
He introduced me as if nothing was wrong.
"This is my junior brother, his surname is Cao, and his last name is Yi."
He then introduced.
The holy aunt stepped forward and said, "Have you met the Taoist priest?"
"Aunt Saint, you're welcome."
Cao Yi returned the gift with a smile.
The holy aunt hesitated for a moment, then greeted the worshiper: "Have you met the leader?"
After worshiping the moon, he returned the gift with a solemn look and said, "Shi has joined Taoist Master Cao. From now on, there will be no more worshiping leader of the moon worshiping religion."
Although she learned a lot from the Jiujianxian last night, the Holy Aunt was still shocked. Cao Yi actually surrendered to Bai Yue in such a short period of time.
