Xu Zhenyun thought quickly and asked immediately: "Teacher, even the progress of the immortal dynasty's strategy and the actual situation on the battlefield are truthfully recorded in the book. Doesn't it violate the principle of dividing morality and secularity and living in harmony with the world?"
Ji Xiaohua shook her head solemnly and said: "Of course it doesn't count. 'Following the world' is a way for Taoists to separate the 'secular part' and the 'Taoist part' from a personal perspective and not interfere with each other in order to promote their practice." road."
"The battle between immortal dynasties, the chaos of evil cultivators, and the invasion of monster clan are all matters that affect the life and death of all living beings. All progress should be made public. Just like the bloody moon every three years, the possible attack direction of monster clan, states and counties They will all issue emergency documents.”
Xu Zhenyun thoughtfully nodded slowly, the concept in his mind becoming a little clearer.
His eyes fell on the second article in the "First Edition of the Book". Xu Zhenyun pondered in his mind and did a little mental calculation: "The average life span of the people of the Jin Dynasty is ninety-one years old; but the actual life span is only sixty years. Nine years old.”
"If accidental deaths account for half, and the average age of death is half of the expected life span, that is, forty-five years old, then the calculated average age is about sixty-eight years old, which is exactly close to the actual average life span..."
Ji Xiaohua glanced at him and knew what Xu Zhenyun meant, and said seriously: "Is this ratio higher than you expected?"
Xu Zhenyun nodded and said: "Exactly. Please ask the teacher to clarify my doubts."
The gap between life expectancy and actual life span is large, which means that half of people do not die well.
Because of the special magical tools and methods mastered by the officials at all levels in the Jin Dynasty, unless the murderer is also a monk, disputes at the civil level can almost "instantly solve the murder". Therefore, under this deterrent, the public security among ordinary people is actually very good.
The main threats come from the "three disasters".
But from Xu Zhenyun's perspective, the impact of the competition between immortal dynasties and the chaos of evil cultivators on ordinary people is not very clear; only the "Bloody Moon" that occurs every three years has the deepest understanding.
However, with the scale and threat of the "Bloody Moon" that Xu Zhenyun knew, it seems that it would not be enough to kill half of the population!
For these questions, according to Xu Zhenyun's original character, he should have searched for books and information alone, or even gone deep into the market to investigate step by step.
It would be a bit cowardly to ask some stupid common sense questions rashly.
But now he has a sense of urgency to "comprehensively understand the face of Xinyuan Continent", so he asks directly!
Moreover, from the incident of "forcibly bumping fists with Mu Xueqing", Xu Zhenyun also felt the benefits of acting decisively and directly, so the psychological balance gradually tilted.
Ji Xiaohua did not show the attitude of "dislike the question as too low-level" and patiently answered:
"You have been growing up in Shendu County for a long time, and you have been in a family and a martial arts school. Your understanding of world customs is bound to be skewed. It is very normal to have such questions."
"Roughly speaking, there are several reasons."
"First, you have ignored that after the invasion of the demon clan, when it comes to attacking and killing ordinary people, whether it is for blood food or to seize their bodies, the priority targets are young people between the ages of 18 and 20, and even younger people. Infants and young children; the older victims are either demons who are not scrupulous about meat and vegetables, or they are victims of Chiyu."
"Since the average age of the victims is much lower than the 'forty-five' figure you would expect, the impact on average life expectancy must be greater."
Xu Zhenyun nodded, but he just ignored this.
Ji Xiaohua continued: "Second. Needless to say, although the 'Wu Shi Tianxuan Formation' protecting Taihe Immortal City is not perfect, this is the capital of the gods after all. Except for the occasional incident like the 'Shen Capital Rebellion' sixteen years ago , in other years, God City will suffer losses from the 'Bloody Moon', which will ultimately be less than other cities."
"In small counties with relatively weak defenses, there was even an incident where the whole city was destroyed by the demon clan in the 'Bloody Moon'. Of course, this is an accidental event caused by various factors. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the city, the better the residents in the city will be. The higher the survival rate.”
"So, for the major cities under our jurisdiction, the monster problem is actually more serious than you think."
"The third reason. After all, the City of Gods is not the border of the Immortal Dynasty, and your perception of the impact of the 'Immortal Dynasty Contest' is not obvious."
Xu Zhenyun's heart moved slightly, and he immediately asked: "Will the immortal dynasty also slaughter mortals when they compete?"
This question is direct, even a bit pointed.
According to Xu Zhenyun's perception of the world style of "immortal people", the battle between immortal dynasties should be a more "civilized" form; it seems that there should not be the massacre of cities recorded in the history books of previous generations...
Ji Xiaohua's face became very serious.
The light in her blue eyes was flowing, and she looked into Xu Zhenyun's eyes. Ji Xiaohua said slowly: "As for the impact of the immortal dynasty's competition on ordinary people, I will only tell you seven words - the two heavens of ice and fire."
"Either it is very civilized, and there is almost no awareness of the change of flags and ownership of the city, and it is just a change of agents; or it is a catastrophe, boiling oil in the fire, and the evil force is deep."
"The former is determined by the current world style of 'immortals and close people'; the latter is due to the special form of struggle between immortal dynasties."
"You are still in the growth stage. When you improve two more levels, serve for the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty in the future, and face the competition of the Immortal Dynasty, you will naturally understand everything."
Xu Zhenyun had countless thoughts and deductions in his heart, but finally he just nodded and said: "I understand."
Ji Xiaohua added: "The fourth reason."
"Is there a fourth one?" Xu Zhenyun was surprised.
The knowledge on the social form of Xinyuan Continent is indeed complicated.
Ji Xiaohua said: "The fourth reason is..."
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from next to Xu Zhenyun: "This broken cloud, known as the 'evil in the sky', has been working for decades to benefit our country. This time, it has done the most to contain Chu. It can be seen that the immortal dynasties are competing, the sky is tilted, and the general trend is mine."
Xu Zhenyun turned his head and saw that the speaker was about thirty years old. He was wearing a round-necked shirt and a black hollow gauze hat. He was rubbing a brown jade fan in his hand.
Moreover, he is popular, wealthy, graceful, fair-skinned, and handsome in appearance.
Ji Xiaohua was slightly startled and said with a smile: "The fourth reason has already been mentioned by this person. The evil cultivator organization 'Broken Cloud' has done the least damage to the three major immortal dynasties, and Da Jin is relatively the least, so you don't feel it. Not obvious."
"It's not just you. The people under the rule of Da Jin have a significantly different perception of this threat than those of Da Liang and Da Chu."
Xu Zhenyun said in confusion: "Is it the entire evil cultivator, or the 'Broken Cloud'? A single organization, has such energy?"
Compared with the Bloody Moon, although "evil cultivators" are also one of the "three disasters", Xu Zhenyun does not feel it clearly; especially the people and things around him, who has died at the hands of "evil cultivators", so far almost all Can't find a specific example.
This is not because Xu Zhenyun is ignorant.
The Xu family, and even the people in Nanyang County near and far, have no clear feelings about "evil cultivators" as they do about monsters.
It was also called "three disasters", but in Xu Zhenyun's heart, he felt like "Kobe and I scored 81 points together."
besides……
If for some reason, the entire "evil cultivator" system, one of the "three disasters", did less damage to the Jin Dynasty; so much so that it could significantly affect Xu Zhenyun's perception of risks, or affect the overall situation of the three dynasties' struggle, It makes sense.
but:
Just an evil cult organization "Broken Cloud"?
In the Dao Heart chessboard, the voice of the Little Golden Man "asking to the sky" sounded at the right time: "Oh my God! This guy Xu Zhenyun doesn't know about the evil 'Broken Cloud' in the sky? Why can such an idiot get the 'God-given Xuanjing' I don’t accept the opportunity..."
The strange voice of "Mu Xueqing" also sounded simultaneously: "He actually doesn't know about the 'Broken Cloud'... That's right. There is no special way to know the deeds of the monastic world in advance. For ordinary people, maybe this is not surprising. …”
"Especially the country people who are far away from the capital of God and the garden of Tianxin..."
Ji Xiaohua was not surprised because Xu Zhenyun didn't know about the "Broken Cloud", and slowly explained:
"Actually, even in the Great Jin Dynasty, the harm done by evil cultivators to ordinary people still exists; just in a secret way that ordinary people can't imagine. I will let this go for now; in more than a month, the level will be promoted to the eighth level. , after receiving specific tasks in Dajin, you will naturally come into contact with them."
"I can only tell you - in the official ratings of the three major immortal dynasties, evil cultivators are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang."
"Among them, evil cultivators whose cultivation is at the lower third level and who commit crimes independently are classified as 'yellow level'."
"An evil cultivator whose cultivation level is in the middle third level is the 'Xuan level'."
"If your cultivation level is higher than the third level, or if you use it as the backbone to form an organization, it is the 'prefecture level'."
"The leader has reached the first level of cultivation, and there are many evil cultivators of the third level under his command, and he has mastered at least one 'first-class spiritual world map', and has the ability to resist the pursuit of the top powerhouses of the three major immortal dynasties." Heaven level'."
Xu Zhenyun said: "The Broken Cloud is an evil cultivator organization rated as 'Heavenly'?"
Ji Xiaohua shook her head and said, "That's not right. Think about it, the nickname of Broken Cloud is on the book."
Xu Zhenyun's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Evil in the sky? Evil in the sky..."
"It means that evil cultivators above the heaven level are unique?"
Ji Xiaohua nodded and said: "Exactly. Among the evil cultivators, only the 'Broken Cloud' is beyond the four levels of Xuanhuang and Xuanhuang, and is named 'Heavenly Evil'."
"Although Broken Cloud is small in scale, it cannot compete with a country in terms of its foundation and strength; but in terms of its top strength, it is almost indistinguishable."
"In the minds of high-level cultivators, the 'Broken Cloud' is the thirteenth largest force in Xinyuan Continent after the 'Eight Extremes of Humanity' and the 'Four Saints'."
Xu Zhenyun was secretly surprised: "So powerful?"
Ji Xiaohua said: "No matter which level of evil cultivators they are in Heaven, Earth, Xuan, or Huang, they all use a special and secret method to harm all living beings. But only the 'Broken Cloud' has the ability to imitate the demon clan. , a public blood sacrifice to a city!"
"Because the evil cultivator is originally a fake person. After hiding his identity, the Wushi Tianxuan Formation cannot control him. Once he acts unscrupulously, he is almost more troublesome than the demon clan."
"One number is enough to illustrate the problem——"
"In the last hundred years, the lives that have died at the hands of evil cultivators, the four categories of heaven, earth, black and yellow are added together. The number of human lives killed by them through secret means accounts for 40% of the total; and the great blood sacrifices created by the Broken Cloud in the three major immortal dynasties account for 60% of the total. become."
