In Taiping County, Jiang Hua and Taiping Taoist sat opposite each other.
Although the two people were sitting here, no one noticed them. Only the sun shines on them, as if only the sun knows that there are two people sitting here at this moment.
Feeling Jiang Hua's strength, Taiping Taoist couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Everyone has underestimated Jiang Hua. Everyone in the world feels that it will be a matter of time for Jiang Hua's qualifications to become a great master, but they also feel that, At this moment, Jiang Hua has not yet become a great real person.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Taiping Taoists wouldn't have believed that Jiang Hua was already a great master!
How old is Jiang Huacai?
He was only sixteen or seventeen years old when he issued the Tao Extermination Order. Today, Jiang Hua is already a great master before he is eighty years old.
Thinking of this, Taiping Taoist thought of a legend and a guess.
Many people have studied Jiang Hua's family history. Some people say that Jiang Hua can see through the future. This ability is not surprising, there are many people with this ability. The difference is that the future Jiang Hua sees is extremely accurate and the cost is not high.
Others say that Jiang Hua must have a valuable treasure in his hands. It was most likely obtained from the time when the Dao Extermination Order was issued to the first year of the Hundred Schools, so Jiang Hua could become a Taoist priest from an ordinary ordinary person in just one year. In just fifty years, such great achievements have been achieved.
Before the Dao Extermination Order was issued, Jiang Hua was an ordinary monk. What could a sixteen-year-old alchemist have to say?
Look at Yancheng today, there are one billion people, and there are 100 million alchemists alone. As for sixteen-year-old alchemists, they can be said to be everywhere. The extraordinary rate of junior academy students is already as high as 10%, and this only counts those who have made breakthroughs on their own by the time they graduate.
Here, there are no statistics on people who took the Foundation Building Pill after graduation, nor are there statistics on people who had an epiphany and gave birth to magic power after graduation and before death.
In other words, children in Yancheng now start school when they are five or six years old and study for ten to twelve years. After so many years, at least 10% of them can make a breakthrough on the spot.
At that time, the older ones were only seventeen or eighteen years old.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old alchemist can only be said to be okay in today's Yancheng. He is not even considered a talent, let alone a genius.
Then, if you become a Taoist priest in just one year, if you don't get the spiritual treasure, who will believe it?
Some people even speculated that Jiang Hua not only obtained the spiritual treasure, he also obtained the destiny spiritual treasure!
He obtained destiny spiritual treasures such as the Nine Cauldron, the Mountain-Opening Axe, and the Dinghai Divine Needle. Through constant practice, he obtained the destiny and was recognized by the destiny spiritual treasures, and finally he was where he is today.
In the past, Taiping Taoists always felt that the theory of destiny spiritual treasure was very unreliable. But after experiencing Jiang Hua's strength up close, Taiping Taoist felt that this was not impossible.
Near the rail station, a large number of people began to drag their families away.
Since Taiping Taoists agreed to free choice seven days ago, people have been leaving on rail cars one after another.
"These people will first take a rail car and ride all the way to the port. Then, after taking a short rest, they will board a ship bound for the Kingdom of Yan."
"On the sea route, you can travel a thousand miles in a day and night. Every five hundred miles there is a floating island or a man-made island. There are various houses on these islands, as well as food that has been prepared long ago. Every day One day, people can enjoy a sumptuous meal on the floating island."
"Although it is three hundred thousand miles away from the Kingdom of Yan, it only takes three hundred days by sea. Including the rest and recovery time, the trip will take about a year."
"This migration is divided into three batches. The first batch has the smallest number of migrants, only about 20,000 people. The main purpose is to explore the road, run the road, see what difficulties the actual journey will encounter and record it."
Listening to Jiang Hua's story, Taiping Taoist nodded slowly and felt relieved.
Although the ideas of these common people and Taoists are different from those of Taiping Taoists, in fact, even now, most Taoists who choose to leave still maintain contact with Huang Tian's will and still gain the recognition of Huang Tian's will.
It is obvious that even up to this moment, these people have recognized the concept of Zhiping from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hey, we obviously all agree on the concept of peace, but now we are going our separate ways."
"As a Taoist master, all I can do is ensure the safety of this trip as much as possible."
Jiang Hua said: "Safety can definitely be guaranteed. I gave Yan Taizi Dan a lot of money. He gave a lot of money and many specialties of Yan country, such as ginseng from Changbai Mountain and Wannian King Ginseng." There are hundreds of them..."
"He has paid enough for the trip, so I will strictly ensure the safety of this trip."
"In addition to a floating island every five hundred miles, there is a large floating island every three thousand miles. And during this migration, especially when the second group of people is the largest, the floating islands will be directly followed. .”
"At that time, in addition to the five hundred miles of floating islands, there will be a large number of floating islands that will leave directly with the ships. The people will live on the floating islands and go about their daily lives. A year later, they will arrive in the Yan Kingdom. This road is the safest."
"Moreover, Yan State is currently building a port, laying tracks, and building rail cars. When the people leave, they can take the rail cars directly to Yan State."
As for how Yan State will reform and whether the reform can be successful, that is the matter of Prince Dan of Yan. As far as Jiang Hua knows, the relationship between Prince Yan Dan and his own father is not a good one, and maybe there will be things like a father being kind and a son being filial.
Especially after the reform reaches a certain level, the contradiction between the new aristocrats and the old aristocrats will definitely be aroused to the extreme in Yan State. At that time, it will depend on who can win, Prince Yan Dan or his biological father.
At that time, either the Marquis of Yan will die suddenly, or Prince Dan of Yan will die suddenly. One of them must die suddenly.
The Marquis of Yan represents the old nobility, and Prince Yan represents the Qi practitioners. If you look at it this way, maybe Yancheng will also intervene by then.
However, whether to intervene or not depends on the development of the situation, and it is still not clear yet.
"As for the different ideas, that's normal. At least it's a peaceful breakup now. Moreover, with this branch, in the future, the followers of Taiping Dao will have one more choice, and they can live peacefully between the two branches. It's better to switch than to have two lines that are hostile to each other and fight each other when they meet."
Sun En felt that as long as the ultimate goal of peace could be achieved, the doctrines and rules would be changed as soon as they were changed. It would not be too late to gain power first and then modify the doctrines when the power was stable.
Taiping Taoists think this is nonsense! If you really revise the doctrine and then gain the highest power, will you still use the knife on yourself at that time? Is amending the doctrine equivalent to doing something to oneself, or is it a major operation like amputation, coaxing ghosts? I don’t even believe it!
Sun En felt that as long as the ultimate goal of peace could be achieved, doctrines and canons would become insignificant matters. Don't care what methods I use, don't care how many doctrines and rules I change, as long as I achieve the ultimate goal, that's all.
Taiping Taoists feel that if even the canon and teachings have been changed, how can the goal of bringing peace be achieved? How can you guarantee that after you gain the highest power in Yan State, you can still achieve reforms that lead to peace?
Today, you modify canons and doctrines for the highest goal. Can you continue to shout slogans and modify other things tomorrow? Or do something completely contrary to the teachings of Taiping Dao?
This is actually the difference between the two factions. One faction believes that the other side is stubborn, conservative, ignorant of flexibility, and has a wooden head. The other group believes that the other party is too radical and will definitely put the cart before the horse in the future and will forget the original intention of bringing peace.
You can't reconcile such differences even if Zhuge Liang comes, and the best you can do is make peace with them.
The differences are too great to be reconciled.
"Taiping Dao, please leave it to your lord." With that, Taiping Daoist solemnly bowed to Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua sat on the spot and accepted the bow, and then stretched out his hands to help Taiping Taoist up: "Sir, there is no need to be so generous. From now on, we are a family."
"To be honest, Gu Ye very much welcomes those congregants who fully abide by the teachings of Taiping Dao and practice them personally."
Unfortunately, there are too few people who can take action.
Moreover, in the future, when people from Taiping Dao enter various counties and start preaching, and after acquiring glory and wealth, there will be even fewer people who can maintain their original intentions and continue to practice it.
Just like the Mohists, there are indeed many idealists in the Mohists today who act strictly in accordance with the rules and teachings of the Mohists. Even though they are already very strong, they still do not stand above others, but regard themselves as mediocre Mohists.
But most of the Mohists were just Mohists once. After experiencing the test of glory and wealth, most Mohists lost their original aspirations.
This is not only a problem that the Mohist family has to face, but today's Taiping Road will also face this test. This is a problem that any organization or force must face, how to keep the original intention intact!
"In the future, as long as these congregants abide by the laws of Yancheng, I will not object to preaching and proselytizing."
At this point, Jiang Hua paused: "However, sir, you must also be prepared. Although there are only one billion people in Yancheng now, most of these people have completed the education of junior schools. Although they may not be strong enough, their income is It’s okay, small favors can’t buy them off, nor can they get them to recognize a certain sect from the bottom of their hearts.”
"Maybe they lack strength, but most of them are well-informed. Maybe a certain person is just an ordinary person, but there may have been many warlocks or even Taoist priests among his classmates back then."
"It's also possible that he himself is mediocre, but there are many sorcerers and Taoist priests among his relatives."
"Of course, the veteran has already been prepared for this."
