Chapter 1368 Disaster for Monks!
Li Yao didn't expect that Han Yuantai, an "ancient man" and also a "barbarian" in the central dynasty, could see the relationship between cultivators and the country so thoroughly. Moreover, this person was courageous and had a clear mind. He deserved to be called The right-hand man of the ghost Qin Xiongzhu Han Baling!
From him, one can see how powerful Gui Qin's side is, and how terrifying that Han Baling is!
Li Yao squeezed out a contemptuous smile, and said coldly, "Is it alarmist? As long as there are cultivators, there have been sects of cultivation. This has been the case for a hundred thousand years. Are they all as unbearable as you said?"
"It's just that unbearable!"
Han Yuantai said loudly, "Because the 'cancer' of the practice sect has been parasitic on the country for a hundred thousand years, there have been hundreds of dynasties that have changed, luck has flowed, and tragedies have happened!"
"Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the rise of the Daqian Dynasty a thousand years ago!"
"Before the Great Qiang, it was a bloody and chaotic world for hundreds of years. At that time, thousands of sects in the entire ancient holy world were kings of the mountain, each dominating one side, killing each other and fighting endlessly. Not to mention ordinary people living in dire straits , even the chances of a cultivator dying in the underworld are unimaginably high, the so-called 'precariousness, fear all day long' is the true portrayal of the cultivators at that time!"
"It wasn't until the predecessor of the Daqian Dynasty, the 'Leiganmen', rose strongly, commanded eighty sects to sweep the universe, and unified the world, before the foundation of the new dynasty was established and the peace of the ancient holy world was restored!"
"But this peace is only temporary!"
"The world was brought down by the Leigan Sect and the Eighty Sects together. Naturally, the meritorious officials should be distributed wantonly. At that time, there were countless sects and monks who did not obey the Dagan. After killing all these opposing forces, rely on them The resources left behind can naturally live in peace for hundreds of years!"
"However, for hundreds of years, Dagan danced and danced to promote peace, and the world was peaceful, and the number of cultivators expanded tremendously!"
"Cultivators have a long lifespan and greater ambition. No one wants to stay under others for a long time. If the brothers in a sect have similar means and there are some conflicts, then in order to resolve conflicts and expand power, they will separate Collaterals and offshoots!"
"In this way, for hundreds of years, the eighty sects that originally assisted the 'Leiganmen' have continued to branch out and establish new branches and collaterals. The scattered cultivators of all parties have also established their own sects, established sects and sects, and gradually evolved. Today, there are nearly four thousand sects!"
Li Yao snorted coldly, "The more sects you practice, the better, so what's wrong?"
"If resources are unlimited, that's fine."
Han Yuantai smiled wryly and said, "But there are only so many auras and treasures in the world. Every time there is one more cultivator, other cultivators will share less. Every time there is one more sect of practice, the pressure on the country will increase. As a freshman, it seems that Dagan's cultivation world is getting stronger and stronger, but in fact, it is getting closer and closer to the precipice of annihilation!"
"According to the rules established by Dagan when he founded the country, 'the emperor and the practitioners rule the world together', the cultivation sect has countless privileges!"
"We don't need to talk about a powerful sect like the 'Ziji Sword Sect', but a medium-sized ordinary sect, which usually has hundreds of inner disciples, nearly ten thousand outer disciples, and hundreds of thousands of good farmlands. Qing, the number of people attached to this sect can even reach more than 100,000 households!"
"According to the rules, the cultivating sects pay very little in terms of taxes and levies. Once the good land belongs to the cultivating sect, it will be difficult for the country to collect land taxes. Therefore, even if it is an uncle’s uncle’s sister-in-law’s uncle who has the backing of a cultivating sect, it will be difficult to force him to perform corvee and military service!”
"Such a cultivating sect has taken root in the local area for hundreds of years, gathering all the local powers, from the local officials to the sages and gentry, all are disciples of the cultivating sect. Working in production, working hard all day long, and cultivating supernatural powers, the tiger and wolf warriors seem to be independent feudal states one by one!"
"This kind of 'feuding the country' uses all kinds of tricks to conceal the property, resists the imperial court's conscription and taxation, and frequently cries to the imperial court for poverty. What are all kinds of grace and benefits, not a cancerous tumor that makes no contribution but only sucks blood?"
"At the beginning of the great campaign, there were only 80 such 'tumors', and the country was 'fat and strong', and it could barely support it!"
"But now, the big cancer is getting bigger and bigger, and a series of small cancers have been born, and the method of knocking the bone and sucking the marrow is becoming more and more vicious, and more and more reckless! Such four thousand 'cancers' are pressing on the body, and the skin is already yellow and thin. How can you not collapse?"
Li Yao's eyes flashed brightly, and he said coldly: "Even you, a ghost from the Qin Dynasty, can see it so thoroughly, how can the emperor ignore it? Didn't you say that the 'Leigan sect' to which the emperor belonged was the most powerful sect in the past? , so they can't think of a way to eradicate these 'tumors'?"
Han Yuantai smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "He is supposed to be the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the arbitrary emperor of Gan Gang, so he naturally doesn't like to see so many unruly and rebellious 'cancers' exist in his own country."
"However, it is difficult to eradicate these cancerous tumors!"
"That's right, the Leigan Sect thousands of years ago was indeed the most powerful sect in the world, but no matter how strong the Leigan Sect is, it can resist at most ten or twenty cultivation sects, but if the other eighty sects are tied together, what can the Leigan Sect do?" No more of them!"
"That's why Leiganmen had no choice but to hold their noses and cooperate with eighty practice sects to establish the 'Dagan Dynasty' together!"
"This Daqian is not so much a country, but rather an 'Alliance of Eighty-one Sects in the Ancient Sacred World'. The so-called Ninth Five-Year Lord, the Son of Heaven, is nothing but an alliance leader!"
"When Dagan was first established, the conflicts between the 'Leiganmen' represented by the Son of Heaven and many local sects were not intense, and the two sides lived in peace for hundreds of years."
"When the local sects are expanding day by day, the tail is too big, and the conflicts between the two sides are intensifying, the Leiganmen are constantly declining, and they are powerless!"
Li Yao pondered for a moment, then said: "Since the Leigan sect occupies the center and is the Dagan royal family, it should occupy the most abundant resources, the best supernatural powers, and the most mysterious magic weapons. Even if the local sects are expanding, the royal family should continue to grow stronger. , how could it decline instead?"
Han Yuantai laughed and said, "The Venerable Master doesn't know that there are three main reasons for the decline of the Dagan royal family!"
"First, after becoming the Son of Heaven, one has to take care of all kinds of opportunities, coordinate the world, immerse himself in literature, mountains and seas every day, and wrestle with endless problems!"
"If the Son of Heaven works diligently and loves the people, he will have no time to practice. Even if the realm improves, the combat power will decline instead!"
"If the Son of Heaven entrusts ministers to deal with many important national affairs and concentrates on cultivation, it will give local sects the opportunity to rise up, because most of the ministers come from other sects of cultivation, and it is impossible for Lei Ganmen to The family alone is big!"
"Secondly, the throne of the Son of Heaven, the position of supremacy, even if it is only the nominal co-lord of the world, is still coveted by countless people!"
"The tragedies of human relations, such as open and secret fighting, brother killing, and even murdering fathers and sons in the court, have never ceased for thousands of years! Although the emperor is worried about handing over the affairs of the country to other sects of practice, he is even more worried about handing over the affairs of the state to other sects of cultivation. Give it to my brother, to the disciples of Leiganmen!"
"Since the establishment of Dagan, the Leiganmen and the entire royal family have been caught in an extremely cruel cannibalism. Counting the new emperor who ascended the throne last year, Dagan has inherited a total of sixty-six emperors in the past thousand years. "Dragon Yu returned to heaven" in less than twenty years, that is, died suddenly! For a cultivator whose lifespan is often two or three hundred years old, he is simply an unbelievably short-lived ghost!"
"It's not necessarily true. They all have 'the end of their lives'. How many swords and swords are hidden in them, and the sinister and vicious stories are not enough for outsiders to understand!"
"Thirdly, this world is nominally dominated by the Dagan royal family, so the emperor has become the target of all cultivating sects. No matter how intriguing or openly infighting among the cultivating sects, once the emperor encounters trouble, they will all become the most powerful. Let’s fight against the Son of Heaven!”
"The Son of Heaven lives deep in the imperial palace of the capital of God, and he doesn't know the real situation of the place. Most of the soldiers and horses in his hands come from the place. It's really embarrassing. He doesn't even know whose orders these soldiers and horses will listen to. How can it compete with the four seas and nine states?"
"The Dagan Dynasty has been strong for thousands of years. Today, there are many sects in the local area. The people only know that there is a head, but they don't know that there is an emperor. When they encounter problems, they always go to the practitioners to 'fight for justice' instead of reporting to the officials and seeking help from the national law. It's not surprising that the emperor's decree can't leave the capital, or even the palace!"
Li Yao was thoughtful: "Listening to what you said, to the Son of Heaven, the cultivation sects seem to be really disgusting cancers that cannot be dug out or crushed?"
"It's not only true for the emperor, it's also true for the people of Li, and it's even a hundred times more cruel!"
Han Yuantai said sternly, "In any sect of cultivation, most of the trainees are brave and ruthless warriors, and murderous tigers and wolves! What you practice every day is all kinds of killing methods!"
"Besides, they have very large intestines, and they have to eat high-quality lean meat for every meal, and their consumption is dozens of times more than ordinary people!"
"To feed a cultivator who doesn't work all day, just to stretch his muscles and bones and practice supernatural powers, even the lowest level of Qi-refining monks, it takes dozens or even hundreds of farmers to work day and night Toil in the fields!"
"What's more, cultivators don't just need to eat and drink enough, they also need various utensils to enjoy, various spar minerals, and various panacea!"
"So, when the cultivators and cultivation sects of the Daqian Dynasty swelled up like mushrooms after rain, the oppression of the people became even more cruel. The people who were attached to the cultivation sects couldn't survive their lives!" (To be continued continued.)
