Text Chapter 1673 Two Apples
The old mother Bailian's doubts are also the doubts of all the other Yuanying old monsters. Many ancient sages expressed their emotions again, and the beggar Ba Xiaoyu and Master Kuchan began to tell their experiences.
In the ancient holy world, Ba Xiaoyu was a hero who wandered around the market and played games in the world, while Master Kuchan devoted himself to helping the world and saving people, and saving all sentient beings.
Therefore, the field they proposed to investigate is the charity and relief industry of the Federation, hoping to see how the Federation of Stars treats the poorest people at the bottom of society.
They visited several orphanages and relief stations today, and took the orbital lifting platform to go deep into the underground of the star ring, and saw what kind of treatment the miners living there, especially their children, enjoyed.
"We saw several well-equipped schools on the ground. The students are ordinary miners' children, but many of the teachers are cultivators, and some even came from the core world thousands of miles away to teach. !"
Recalling the scenes that he saw during the day, Ba Xiaoyu still feels incredible, "Among these cultivators who support education, there are certainly some like the 'Patriot Front' who are inspired by a certain spirit and come to remote and impoverished areas to make selfless contributions, but more Most of them are hired by various foundations, even schools, hospitals, orphanages, water purification plants, etc., are all subsidized by the foundations!"
"The benefactor is right. This 'foundation' seems to be the main force of the federation to help the poor and ordinary people."
Master Kuchan said, "Xingyao Federation is a country with a high tax burden, especially for cultivators. The tax rate is very high. According to some Jindan and Nascent Soul cultivators, who make money like gold-absorbing behemoths, they have to pay 100,000 yuan per year. Taxes are astronomical.
"However, the federal tax law is very interesting. If you invest your income in various charitable foundations, you can avoid taxes very cleverly.
"So, in order to pay less tax, Jindan and Yuanying have established various charitable foundations. Almost every Jindan and Yuanying has several foundations of various kinds under their names.
"The establishment and operation of charitable foundations have certain conditions, which are reviewed every year, and certain charitable projects must be completed.
"After a century of development, the federal charitable foundation has formed a virtuous circle.
"The powerhouses of Jindan and Yuanying series provide resources and connections to form various foundations, on the one hand to gain a good reputation for themselves, and on the other hand to avoid taxes.
"The newly promoted practitioners, especially those who are from the civilian class and have few resources and connections, often choose to join a certain foundation after awakening their spiritual roots, and go to remote and poor places to serve for a period of time. Through the foundation, Naturally, you can expand your circle and make friends. If you perform well, you may even have the opportunity to be favored by the masters of the foundation, those Jindan and Yuanying. After a few years, you will work in major groups under the names of Jindan and Yuanying. Even into the inner circle of the sect.
"Even now, most of Jindan and Yuanying's apprentices, especially the 'true disciples', require him to have a long period of work experience in charity foundations. It is generally believed in the circle of cultivators that such disciples are Only the Dao Xin is firm enough, the mind is pure enough, and it is more suitable to pass on one's mantle."
The beggar Ba Xiaoyu and Master Kuchan, you talk to each other, with joy and enthusiasm, both of them are gentlemen, and when it comes to the beauty, the beggar slapped his thighs so loudly.
Many ancient sages were fascinated by the sound, each showing deep thought.
Those modern flying swords, shuttle cars, crystal track trains, crystal armors and starships, no matter how mysterious and complicated, they are all understandable after a little thought.
However, the system and even the survival logic operated by the Star Federation are completely different from the ancient holy world. It may take a long, long time to digest, absorb and fully accept it.
After the beggar and Master Kuchan finished speaking, the rest of the powerhouses spoke one after another. Li Yao didn't lose the opportunity, pretending to be very shocked, boasting about "Civilization", and strongly recommending that many powerhouses should play hard no matter whether they are free or not. experience it.
He believes that after these powerful people experience the charm of "Civilization", they will fall in love with this new world deeply, and they will never want to leave again.
After all the eleven strong men had finished sharing, only Long Yangjun remained silent, but he looked at everyone with a half-smile and an inscrutable look.
Wu Suiyun, the old ghost of Huashen, asked: "Friend Wang Daoist, seeing that you are hesitant to speak, could it be that today's inspection is not going well?"
"No, it went well, but there's nothing to say."
Long Yangjun leaned on the head of Li Yao's bed, put his feet on Li Yao's bed, put his hands on his head, looked comfortable, and said calmly, "All fellow Taoists know what I do, the leader of 'Ghost Painting Talisman' , the eagle dog that everyone turns pale upon hearing, the executioner, if placed in Star Federation, it is almost the role of "Secret Sword Bureau" and "Dark Moon Foundation".
"So today, I didn't go to investigate other places. I just wanted to learn more about the organization 'Secret Sword Bureau', especially the major cases that this organization has cracked in the past hundred years. Naturally, most of them are about 'cultivation crime'."
"oh?"
Wu Suiyun exchanged glances with the other experts, "What did you find?"
"It's nothing special, it's really something special, and people will definitely not open it to me."
Long Yangjun said lazily, "I just want to remind fellow Taoists to pour cold water on everyone. Everyone knows what is going on with the so-called 'imperial envoys and private visits'. Chao, is this kind of trick played less?
"No, no, I'm not saying that everything we saw today is fake, it's 100% true, it's impossible to fake such a large-scale illusion.
"It's just that what we saw today must be what others want us to see. It is the best side of the Star Federation. The cultivators we have come into contact with today must also be 100%, the purest and true. Cultivator.
"However, everyone knows that there is no so-called 'perfect' thing, and a perfect country does not exist. Cultivators with 100% firm beliefs, noble characters, and self-serving and dedicated interests... are even rarer. And less, huh, 'existence of rare and rare'.
"With the deepening of the investigation, I believe that the not-so-perfect side of the Star Federation will soon be exposed. I just want to remind fellow Taoists, don't set your expectations too high, lest you be disappointed when the time comes Interfering with your final judgment, you know"
There was a fruit plate on the coffee table among the crowd. Long Yangjun hooked his fingers, pulled out two apples from the fruit plate, put them on the left and right palms respectively, and said with a slight smile, "We are now going to share the fruit between the True Human Empire and the Star Federation. It is like choosing between two apples, but if you have the mentality of choosing the 'better', you are wrong.
"Perhaps, we should choose the 'less bad one' among two apples."
"Crack!"
Long Yangjun picked an apple at random, took a big bite, and the juice splashed everywhere.
Everyone looked at each other and wanted to ask more questions, but she stood up, casually threw another apple to Li Yao, yawned and said, "It's late at night, and I'm going to continue to watch the flowers tomorrow, all fellow Taoists, rest early Bar!"
The replica of the Nuwa warrior from hundreds of thousands of years ago, biting an apple, disappeared under the surprised eyes of everyone.
...
The establishment of the joint combat base camp, and even the in-depth military cooperation between the government-in-exile and the Star Federation are not things that can be negotiated overnight. In the next ten days, the ancient sages will continue to stay in the Sky Ring Realm for in-depth investigation.
Li Yao came into contact with "Civilization", especially after listening to the debate between Professor Mo Xuan and Professor Xie Wufeng, his heart suddenly moved, and he really wanted to find an opportunity to have an in-depth chat with her.
After all, Long Yangjun is different from other ancient sage powerhouses. Like Li Yao, she is more like a "chess player" on a higher level who is beyond the chess game.
However, everyone's inspection schedules are full, and there are a large number of Secret Sword Bureau's overt and covert protection or monitoring wherever they go, and Long Yangjun deliberately chose a few inspection projects that are separated from the main force. Going deep into the surface and even the underground mines of Tianhuanxing, Li Yao couldn't find her.
It wasn't until twelve days after the last meeting that Long Yangjun returned to the hotel where he was staying and was caught by Li Yao.
This time, it was in Long Yangjun's room.
Long Yangjun is playing "Civilization".
Her interest doesn't seem to be in the game at all, but in the game assistants "Xiao Ming" and "Wen Wen". Hid behind Li Yao.
"really interesting."
Long Yangjun turned off the micro crystal brain, and the two little guys disappeared without a trace in an instant. She looked at Li Yao and conjured two apples out of nowhere, threw one to Li Yao, and said with a smile, "Find me Have something to say?"
"Yes, did you watch the video I sent you? Professor Mo Xuan's theories about 'father civilization, son civilization, annihilation and inheritance of civilization'."
Li Yao said earnestly, "In the past, I have always held complete hostility towards the Pangu civilization, even the Nuwa civilization...how should I put it, fear, vigilance, insecurity, all of it.
"After all, the words of Gui Shishou, the old senior of the Yaozu, really left a deep impression on me.
"However, after hearing Professor Mo Xuan's new theory, my opinion has changed a little bit.
"I really want to know more about our human 'father civilization'. Is everything as simple as I saw in the Kunlun ruins? What is the relationship between Pangu and Nuwa? We are really just simple Tools, or "children" in a certain sense? Is there really only one possibility between us and the Pangu civilization: "You will live and die, and you will never die"?
"No one else can give me an answer to this question, but you are different. You can even be said to be a witness to that war. Can you tell me more about Pangu opening up the sky, Nuwa creating man, and the Great War? "(~^~)
