My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4246 Sages
"Oh? What do you mean?"

After listening to Lei Jun's eloquent explanation, Liu Mingzhi immediately looked at Lei Jun with curiosity and asked him softly.

Seeing the curious look in Liu Dashao's eyes, Lei Jun skillfully hung the water gourd back on his waist.

"Brother Liu, before I answer this question, I would like to ask you a question first, but I don't know if I should."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded without hesitation.

"Hahaha, Brother Lei, please speak freely."

Lei Jun nodded slightly and then spoke loudly, "Brother Liu, I just want to ask you, have you ever been to the western countries further west of the Abbasid Caliphate before?"

When Liu Mingzhi heard Lei Jun ask him this question, he shook his head gently without hesitation.

"Brother Lei, to be honest, I haven't been there yet."

As my brother and I traveled westward this time, the farthest place I reached was the capital of the Arab world.

By the way, a while ago I rode my horse and wandered around the western part of the capital.

However, at most I only traveled a few dozen miles, and I remained within the territory of the Abbasid Caliphate's capital.

As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Lei Jun nodded knowingly.

“Brother Liu, since you haven’t been to the western countries further west, I will now tell you about what I have seen and heard in the past year or so.”

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, smiled faintly at Lei Jun, and said, "Alright, I'd like to hear the details."

Lei Jun took a deep breath with his lips slightly parted, then frowned slightly with a complicated expression.

"Brother Liu, you may not know this, but in the Western countries such as Rome and Prussia, the gods they worship are greater than the courts and laws of those countries!"
If those who claim to have received God's gifts say beforehand that this is God's instruction, then their subsequent words will be more effective than those of the kings of Western countries and the princes and ministers in their courts.

What's most unbelievable is that many people actually blindly believe what those people say.

To put it more bluntly, those who claim to have received divine favor wield a power of discourse that directly supersedes the courts and laws of Western countries.

If that were all there was to it, I wouldn't find anything wrong with it.

After all, every place has its own local customs and traditions, as well as its own way of life.

The kings and ministers of the Western countries have already accepted this, so as an outsider, I naturally won't say anything dissenting.

What I really can't stand is those people in Western countries who claim to have received God's blessings; they don't care about human life at all!
Brother Liu, you have no idea.

In Western countries, a single word like "heretic" can decide a person's life or death!

Whenever those who claim to have received God's gifts point at someone and call him a heretic who doesn't believe in the true God, that person should be bound and burned at the stake.

As Lei Jun finished speaking in a low, muffled voice, he suddenly raised his right hand and slapped his thigh hard.

"Brother Liu, a single sentence has sentenced someone to death!"

What do you call this? This is called utter disregard for the law and treating human life like dirt!

After seeing and hearing what I've witnessed in Western countries, I finally understand what it means to treat human life as worthless.

Sometimes, I really can't understand how such absurd things can happen in this world.

Brother Liu, if I may be so bold as to say something that may not be pleasant to hear, then in our Great Dragon Dynasty, if some wicked scoundrels want to rob or kill, they will at least find an excuse or pretext to convince or deceive others.

Even bandits and outlaws who ambush and rob people on the road still have a few rules they don't follow!
Those people, on the other hand, just openly and legitimately took a person's life with a single sentence.

Given their despicable acts of treating innocent people's lives with contempt, it is no exaggeration to call them barbarians from beyond the bounds of civilization.

"Barbarians beyond the reach of civilization, barbarians beyond the reach of civilization, truly barbarians beyond the reach of civilization!"

As Lei Jun spoke in a deep, indignant voice, he turned slightly to look at Young Master Liu, who was listening quietly with a furrowed brow.

"Brother Liu, to be honest, I have never considered myself a kind-hearted person."

However, as a respectable man, I at least possess a basic conscience as a human being.

I believe that anyone with a basic conscience would find such a thing unacceptable.

Unfortunately, I am but a nobody, and an outsider.

Therefore, no matter how much I disapprove of such things, there's nothing I can do about it!

Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and rolled them around a few times. After a moment of thoughtful silence, he turned slightly to meet Lei Jun's gaze.

"Brother Lei, does the situation you just described frequently occur in Western countries?"

Lei Jun frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before turning around and gently shaking his head at Young Master Liu, who was looking at him.

"Brother Liu, such situations do not occur frequently."

However, although this situation does not occur frequently, it has never stopped.

The situation is better in smaller towns with smaller populations, where such things are less common.

As for those densely populated cities, such an event would occur every ten days or half a month.

Sometimes it's one person, sometimes it's three or four people, or sometimes it's five or six people.

During that year, the largest group of people I witnessed being burned at the stake was fifty-seven.

As Lei Jun spoke in a deep voice, a hint of melancholy suddenly flashed involuntarily in his eyes.

"The shrill screams and the figure struggling incessantly in the fire were too gruesome to bear, utterly too gruesome to bear."

Liu Mingzhi saw the sigh in Lei Jun's eyes and fell into a deep silence.

Seeing that Young Master Liu was silent, Lei Jun reached into his pocket and took out the box of matches. After fiddling with it for a moment, he lit a match with a look of curiosity on his face.

With a soft pop, the match lit up.

Looking at the flame on the top of the match, Lei Jun's eyes instantly flashed with undisguised excitement, like a child who had suddenly received a beloved toy.

When the match he was holding between his fingers was almost burned out, he felt his fingertips getting hot, so he quickly threw away the small piece of matchstick that was left. Immediately afterwards, he raised his right leg and gently rubbed the smoking matchstick on the ground with his toe.

After a long while.

Liu Mingzhi suppressed his thoughts and turned to look at Lei Jun.

"Brother Lei."

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's soft call, Lei Jun immediately turned around and met Young Master Liu's gaze.

"Hey, I'm here, Brother Liu, what are you saying?"

“Brother Lei, something like this happens every ten days or so. It’s become quite common.” Liu Mingzhi calmly responded to Lei Jun’s earlier words when he saw Lei Jun turn around and look at him.

Upon hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, Lei Jun slowly exhaled a long breath.

"call!"

"Brother Liu, people are different."

Everyone has their own perspective and ideas about the same thing.

In my personal opinion, such an event only happens once every ten days or so, which is not enough to be considered frequent.

Perhaps it's because I've witnessed too many of these things in the past year that I've become somewhat numb to the idea that something like this only happens once every ten days or so, which is quite common.

Some things, once you see them often enough, you naturally get used to them.

Liu Mingzhi listened to Lei Jun's reasonable and well-founded answer, and nodded silently with a slight frown.

"Yes, that's true."

When you see something a lot, you gradually get used to it.

Seeing Liu Shao's slightly furrowed brows, a barely perceptible sly glint flashed in Lei Jun's eyes.

"Brother Liu, as things stand, countless people in the Western countries are currently suffering terribly!"
Deep in their hearts, they desperately hoped that a virtuous and talented, kind-hearted, and benevolent sage could completely rescue them from their miserable lives.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

In the early part of that year, I led my caravan through every royal city in the Western kingdoms, meeting every king and minister of every Western kingdom, but I never found anyone who possessed such ability and virtue.

Hey!

Life is full of disappointments, eight or nine out of ten things don't go as planned.

It is unknown when the people in the Western countries will finally find a sage who can rescue them from their suffering.

There's a saying among Taoists, I'll let you think about it.

As Lei Jun spoke softly with a smile on his face, he suddenly raised his right hand and gently patted his forehead a few times.

"Hiss! What did they say again? What did they say again?"

Oh, I've got it now, little brother, I remember!

The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and then it disappears into one.

Yes, yes, yes, that is, the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and then it disappears into one.

Although life is full of disappointments, as long as you persevere, there will always be a glimmer of hope.

Ugh!
May the glimmer of hope that Heaven has left for the people of the Western countries soon descend upon them!

After listening to Lei Jun's pointed words, Liu Mingzhi's eyes flashed with a look of sudden understanding.

Good heavens, really good heavens! So all that talk and righteous words Lei Jun spoke were just waiting for me here!
Young Master Liu didn't want to admit it, but he had no choice but to.

Lei Jun's words just now really resonated with me.

In an instant, Liu Mingzhi made up his mind: his old friend, whom he hadn't seen for over ten years, was most likely a person who could be of great use.

Regardless of his intentions in telling me these things, at least he truly understands my deepest thoughts.

This alone is enough to prove that he is a person who can be of great use.

Liu Mingzhi gently turned the jade thumb ring on his thumb a few times, then turned to look at Lei Jun with a smile.

"Brother Lei, if the situation in the Western countries is really as you just said, then it is indeed a great pity."

However, as the saying goes, there's always a way out, and things will work themselves out.

There's also a saying that goes, "Heaven never seals off all paths."

There's a saying that goes, "Times change, and so do circumstances."

Brother Lei, the fact that you haven't found a sage in the Western countries who can save the people from their suffering doesn't mean that such a sage will never be born in the Western countries in the future.

Perhaps one day in the future, the people in those Western countries who are currently suffering will finally welcome the sage they have been longing for.

However, everything has two sides.

In life, many things have both advantages and disadvantages.

Brother Lei, you and your caravan have been traveling throughout the Western countries for over a year now. Based on your understanding of the people there, do you think they can bear the drawbacks that this sage, whom they have so deeply longed for, will bring them?

When Lei Jun heard Young Master Liu ask him this question with a smile, he smacked his lips twice and then chuckled with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

"Brother Liu, looking across the entire world, whether it is the people of our Great Dragon Dynasty or the people of other countries, what they seek in their lives is nothing more than eight words."

The world is at peace, and people live and work in contentment.

For the people in those Western countries, what could be more serious than the constant threat to their lives and property?
In other words, to put it simply and directly.

Compared to one's own life and fortune, these minor drawbacks are utterly insignificant.
