God Weird Fairy

Chapter 423: The Madman's Violent Comments Shock the World

"I have always wondered whether it is necessary to cleanse the people's memory after a strange incident involving a god."

When Su Guang detected the opinions of many people through his spiritual sense, Nan Yi spoke leisurely and looked at Su Guang.

"In your opinion, why does the Dali court advocate the cleansing of memory so that the people can stay away from strange gods and avoid strange things?"

Su Guang was slightly startled.

Although he knew that Nan Yi's question had a hidden meaning, after thinking about it carefully, Su Guang still answered: "It is for the sake of the people, and to do our best to prevent the people from being disturbed by strange things."

"Although it may seem a bit arrogant, for ordinary people, ignorance is indeed a kind of bliss in many cases."

"After all, mortals are powerless to deal with strange things. Knowing about them will only cause them daily troubles. Secondly, knowing too much will make it easier for them to encounter strange things."

Nan Yi smiled when he heard that.

To use the words of his previous life, this was the guiding ideology of the Dali court in handling public opinion on supernatural events, and the official propaganda line was "the supernatural is inexplicable, the supernatural is unfathomable, the supernatural is unspeakable, and the supernatural is unapproachable."

These practices cannot be said to be wrong, and the corresponding arguments are not unreasonable.

It’s just like “it’s for your own good”, it’s impossible that there is no “good” at all.

However, having reason does not mean it is the only truth.

As a time traveler, Nan Yi, after becoming familiar with the thoughts and ideas of this world, finally waited for the right time to speak out and make shocking and violent remarks:
"I personally think that the old practice of cleansing people's memories is essentially to stabilize people's hearts."

"In the face of endless strange and bizarre events, mortals are ignorant and live and work in peace, which is more conducive to the stability of order and the cohesion of luck."

"In this way, even if we use the dynasty's luck to cleanse the people's memories, it will not harm the essence and can be restored quickly, so it is not a loss."

Su Guang listened attentively, but his expression remained calm.

Although what Nan Yi said just now seemed straightforward, his words were true.

Only a business that does not lose money can form long-term rules that are accepted by the public.

Otherwise, over time, there will always be those whose interests are harmed who are unwilling to continue to abide by the rules.

Nan Yi was so serious that he obviously would not just say some arguments that everyone knew.

So, Su Guang said nothing and continued to listen quietly.

Nan Yi said in a leisurely voice: "Of course, the idea that mortals are safer in ignorance is true, but it is superficial."

“Whether ordinary people know it or not, the strange things of gods are all there, neither increasing nor decreasing.”

"It is said that ignorance is safer. If we really want to care about it, it is just the principle of 'the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind'. The more we know, the more likely we are to encounter strange things."

"If ordinary people are generally unaware, as they are now, then the risk will indeed be greater for the very few who are aware."

"But if ordinary people heard about it but didn't know the details, and only knew the general idea, what would happen?"

Nan Yi asked a question and turned to look directly at Su Guang.

Su Guang was stunned immediately.

This was an angle she had never considered.

But if you think from this perspective, Su Guang was shocked to find that compared to if everyone was unaware, everyone knowing would not bring about any additional changes.

To put it bluntly, whether or not supernatural things happen is actually not related to ordinary people. Even if everyone is blindfolded, what is supposed to happen will still happen.

It's just that when it happens, those who are awake and not blindfolded are more prominent and more likely to encounter the corresponding events.

But if everyone knows about it and no one is blinded, then those who stand out will become ostriches with their heads buried in the ground and their butts raised high.

Nan Yi continued, "Originally, I had this guess in my mind, but I was not sure. It was not until the past few days, when I was thinking about the impact of the success or failure of the regicide, and learned about the current situation of the other three dynasties, that I was shocked to notice one thing." Nan Yi slowly said, "Among the four dynasties of Kan, Li, Zhen, and Dui, only the Li Dynasty took the idea of ​​separating immortals and mortals and restraining gods and demons as a national policy, and even took actions to cleanse the people's memory."

"Then why does Lichao have such a rule?"

Facing Nan Yi's piercing eyes, Su Guang pondered and said, "Perhaps it is a convention that has been passed down to this day."

"What a convention." Nan Yi chuckled, "But I don't know who made the appointment and who made the decision?"

Nan Yi was not asking Su Guang. He continued, "As the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."

"It is the same with spiritual practice. At first, one practices on his own, understands his true nature, and transcends the mundane to enter the mystical realm. When one has achieved success in practice, one will make a covenant with the herdsmen and spread the teachings to all corners of the world."

"Therefore, if we trace back to the origin of Dali's current rules, they should have been left by the monks in the past."

Su Guang somewhat understood what Nan Yi meant, but he felt that he might have misunderstood, so he asked tentatively: "Then...what does the leader mean?"

Nan Yi smiled and said, "In my opinion, times have changed. Since Winter Creation Cyber ​​Moon Master attained enlightenment, people have gradually become more enlightened. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about old customs."

"The throne is now vacant, and it is impossible to use the imperial seal to mobilize the dynasty's fortune. This is a foregone conclusion. In this case, why not take this matter lightly and find another way to stabilize the people's hearts? Without further ado, we will wait and see how the people's hearts change."

"Anyway, if the city is sealed off, the news won't get out, so we can give it a try. If it really doesn't work, it won't be too late to try to follow the old rules."

After hearing this, Su Guang couldn't help but be stunned.

She thought she had misunderstood just now, but she didn't expect that Nan Yi actually dared to do it!
To sum up what he just said, in one word, is to start from scratch, disregard past rules, and establish one's own regulations.

Then, considering the need to convince all the officials, Nan Yi gave them a way out and said that while the city was sealed off, he would conduct a pilot project outside Beijing to see whether the new rules would bring about unexpected chaos.

Nan Yi's words sound nice, but if the method is immature and chaos really occurs, we can try to follow the old practices.

But in other words, if there is no chaos, Nan Yi intends to implement the new rules throughout the Li Dynasty -

Just overturn the chessboard, sweep the old chess pieces aside, and replace them with your new chess pieces.

The Dali Dynasty is actually the outer gate of the Nanzhou Immortal Gate.

Officials in the court can use the dynasty's fortune to assist in their practice.

But as outer disciples affiliated with the Lichao system, they could only get a small share of the spoils.

This is because the Lichao system, which represents many rules, is essentially the cultivation resource for the entire inner sect of the immortal sect.

As long as the Li Dynasty operates normally, every customary rule of the past can provide faith and spirituality to the corresponding inner sect monks.

Nan Yi changed the rules in order to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and take the corresponding resources for himself.

This action would easily offend the corresponding monks and make enemies early on.

In fact, the way of life changes with time. Over the years, the rules and regulations of the court have never remained unchanged.

But there are differences in high and low, and big and small between rules.

The more ancient the rules are, the more likely it is that there is a great monk behind them who should not be underestimated.

And the rule of clearing people's memory after strange events is obviously extremely ancient.

If Nan Yi intends to change this rule, the risk would be huge.

Su Guang reminded Nan Yi to think carefully.

Nan Yi smiled calmly: "The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. There is only so much spiritual merit. If you don't fight for it, where will you get it? We have to fight anyway, so why not fight for a big one."
