My brother is so cunning.

The true first battle of the Rabbit Suppression Alliance ended perfectly, and it also achieved an excellent record of zero casualties. The future heroes were full of ambition, and the morale of the team was even stronger.

Wen Rui also said goodbye at the right time and took He Lingyun and Cheng Ziwei on their way home. But before returning to Lishan, he first took the two of them to sneak into the hinterland of Dingguang Xianzong to see the living beings under the rule of Dingguang Xianzong.

The three of them came to a village. This place is far away from the Central Plains and is in the wilderness. The climate is arid and the vegetation is sparse. Therefore, the houses in the village use very little wood. The dwellings are made by digging holes in the ground first, and then using the branches of shrubs as bones. The loess cattle Low thatched mud houses made of dung mixed with water and rammed into mud.

At this time, the people under the Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains mostly lived in wooden houses, and also had earthen houses mixed with straw. Only the lords, nobles and people in the country could live in brick and stone houses and exquisite palaces and pavilions.

The three of them cast an invisibility spell and secretly observed in the village. The villagers were all disheveled, thin and ugly old and young people, but not even a single young person could be seen.

The villagers were not fully clothed, and few were covered with animal skins. They were wrapped in grass skirts to barely cover their shame.

There was no food left in the low stilts, so the hungry people ate some wild vegetables and milked some livestock. They did not even dare to go fishing in the river, hunt in the mountains, or pick up bird eggs on the grasslands, because the mountains, rivers, and grasslands did not belong to them. , whoever dares to steal will be severely punished.

The living conditions of these human races are probably worse than those of the demon race at the foot of Mount Li.

There was a nailed wooden box in the open space at the entrance of the village. Inside the wooden box was a middle-aged woman, with only her head exposed. Flies and mosquitoes were crawling on her face. It was unclear whether she was dead.

"That's the person who dared to disobey the order of the Supreme Being." Wen Rui explained to the two girls: "The so-called Supreme Being is just an ordinary disciple of the Dingguang Immortal Sect. He doesn't even need to do it himself. He just tells the leader of the village, Under the instruction of the leader, the villagers locked her up and showed her to the public. The crime she committed was that she refused to dedicate her lovely daughter to the Lord."

"It's so pitiful, so hateful!" Cheng Ziwei said angrily: "Isn't this just committing evil? Why does the Western religion protect such an evil sect?"

"This is a worse world. As long as you live better than those under the rule of the demons, it doesn't count as a great achievement. Heaven has its own set of rules to maintain data balance."

Wen Rui shrugged and said: "The lords of the Central Plains are actually not much better than the royal family here. In a country, there are hundreds of thousands of sentient beings, only a few thousand living a human life, and the remaining savages are no better than the monsters." What a difference.”

"Limited by the limitations of the times, if you don't commit murder and exploit sentient beings a little, it's really not a big sin."

Wen Rui then explained: "I have carefully studied the current version of the laws of heaven's blessings and karma, and it is really a version of God. The biggest blessing currently comes from the population growth of the human race. Anything that promotes population growth will help the reproduction of the human race. Any behavior will be rewarded with great merits. Long Er Dingguang Immortal should also be aware of this, so he takes it as the basis for enlightenment. "

"However, the version is about to change." Wen Rui's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said in a mysterious tone: "The next version that will last for hundreds of years is to educate all living beings, and that is the version that belongs to our Jiejiao. When the Western Zhou Dynasty is overthrown, With the rise of the nations in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the era of great strife came. Hundreds of schools of thought contended, and Buddhism spread eastward. What they competed for was the ability of each religion to teach and enlighten sentient beings. "

"If in this version, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal is allowed to achieve the immortal Buddha body, there will be no way to mess with him in the future. No matter how many evil disciples under him create karma, they will not affect the Buddha who transcends the other side." Wen Rui frowned. He frowned and said, "Even if thousands of years pass, this place will still be like this before a big change occurs, and the suffering of all living beings will never end."

Cheng Ziwei felt thoughtful and enlightened after hearing the words.

She asked in a low voice: "Sect Master, do you have a way to save these suffering sentient beings?"

"Of course there are, there are plenty." Wen Rui said disdainfully: "If productivity continues to increase, all resource shortage problems will be distribution problems. If there were no gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and the human world was left to my management, I could make all sentient beings free within a hundred years. It’s a pity that all sentient beings don’t suffer. Who respects gods and Buddhas? Some beings will not let me do this.”

"Why?" Cheng Ziwei asked in disbelief.

"I'm not sure yet, and I'm still researching further."

Wen Rui thought about it and said: "Perhaps it is to gain the power of faith, or to maintain the dignity of the position? It may also be fatalism, that is, the established theory of time and space in the four-dimensional space... A world where people can become immortals often suppresses ordinary sentient beings very much. , Feudal society has not progressed as far as modern society for tens of thousands of years, and the principle is still unclear. "

"Sect Master, you...are you planning in secret because you want to change everything?"

Cheng Ziwei's eyes finally changed slightly when she looked at Wen Rui.

Wen Rui didn't answer her, he just smiled and pretended to be mysterious, saying in his heart that I was sweet because I just wanted to complete the task of reviving the Jiaojiao.

"Okay, you guys just need to gain experience. There is no harm in being grounded. It can open up the situation." Wen Rui interrupted the conversation and wanted to take the two of them away.

"Wait, sect leader, why don't you save that poor mother?" Cheng Ziwei looked at the dying middle-aged woman locked in the box, feeling a little unbearable.

"How do I look similar to your former senior brother?" Wen Rui asked in surprise.

"No...no."

"Then you're asking such a stupid question. I'm neither a god nor a hero, nor a passionate young man. That woman is not a disciple of the Jie Cult. Her life and death have nothing to do with me!"

Wen Rui gave her a blank look and said coldly: "If all sentient beings want to be saved, they must first understand a truth: there is no savior in the world, and there is no god. To create everyone's happiness, they can only rely on themselves. If you have great ambitions to help all sentient beings escape from the sea of ​​suffering, , just learn the knowledge of Jie Jiao. The Jie Jiao classics have their own way to save the world, which is even more practical than the self-comfort method of Buddhism. It depends on whether you can understand it or not!"

Cheng Ziwei was greatly shocked, and she followed the Tieshixinchangwen sect leader slyly, turning back and leaving with him step by step.

Originally, her original intention of joining the Jie Cult was mostly selfish and hidden. After this experience, her view of Sect Leader Wen changed again.

That sloppy man was by no means a good person, but he wasn't simply a bad person either. Jiejiao's philosophy was much more complicated than she had thought.

"Oh, by the way, if your former senior brother had brought people here, then even if they encounter a counterattack, retreat or even defeat in the future, the lives of all the people here will be much easier."

Wen Rui seemed to comfort her, turning his back to her and murmuring seemingly casually: "That's not because the Buddhas who control this place have good intentions and enlightenment, just because they have been here. When I say this, do you think you How meaningful is it for Senior Brother to die?"

Cheng Ziwei was confused again and had no idea what the black-hearted boss meant.

"In addition, opening up the situation and showing compassion does not necessarily mean saving people..."

Wen Rui took out a handful of curved pipes from his arms and pointed it at the woman in the box. A flash of fire flashed, and a bloody hole appeared in the woman's head, thus ending her painful life.
