The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

The Lilliput Kingdom is located deep in the mountains and is constantly harassed and hunted by birds, wild beasts, poisonous snakes and insects.

Even larger bobcats can treat them as prey.

Since there are not enough cultivated fields in the valley, the main source of food is still hunting and gathering.

Although the valley we chose was relatively peaceful and free from natural disasters such as poisonous miasma and mountain torrents, we would still go hungry if it rained continuously.

This resulted in the population not only failing to grow, but declining year after year. When the people entered the mountains ten thousand years ago, there were more than 100,000 people. There was a small increase in the middle, but overall it was getting smaller and smaller.

In particular, there were several major natural and man-made disasters, and even internal rebellions during this period, which led to a large population decline.

They have been living in fear all these years, facing the danger of national extinction at any time.

Therefore, when the king saw that the three Mo Zhui brothers looked similar to him, but had the magical powers of flying, hiding in the ground, moving mountains and seas, he wanted to keep them, even at the cost of abdicating the throne.

After Shi Feiyang's persuasion, Mo Zhui agreed and prepared to do a big job here.

Shi Feiyang counted with his fingers and found out that Bai Guanhong was catching insects and raising poisonous insects in the deep mountains and forests more than 2,000 miles away, so he used his flying sword to send a message to call it over.

In his capacity as the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty, he wrote a memorial describing the general situation of the Lilliputian Kingdom and requested the emperor of the time to confer a title on it.

He asked Mo Zhui to think of a new name for the country, and told the king to pick out the twelve smartest and strongest villains as tribute envoys, bringing their country's treasures and pottery made from special local clay, a total of twelve sets, starting with Xu Ri Rat, Niu Jin Niu, Wei Huo Hu, Fang Ri Rabbit, and so on, to Lou Jin Dog and Shi Huo Zhu.

This thing corresponds to the twelve zodiac signs in the celestial palace. It was brought in when the country was destroyed and fled into the mountains ten thousand years ago. It is the "umbilical cord" connection between the Lilliputian Kingdom and the Central Plains civilization.

Our ancestors once made an arrangement, saying that in the future on the Qifu Festival, an angel from the higher country would arrive and this set of “ancient treasures” would be presented to them.

The original hope of restoring the country rested on this set of artifacts, but once recivilization and secondary civilization occurred, these physical objects would be useless.

After Mo Zhui discussed with Shi Feiyang, he asked Bai Guanhong to send this set of national treasures, along with Shi Feiyang's memorial, to the capital.

After Bai Guanhong left, the country began to prepare for the Zen ceremony.

Shi Feiyang taught Mo Zhui: "To cultivate the Three Emperors Dao, one must start with humanity. To realize humanity, one must first understand human nature. Human nature is built on the basis of animal nature. Humans are also animals. Therefore, everyone has animal nature. Animal nature is the background, and human nature is the sublimation."

Only by possessing human nature can human beings live better, unite, exert greater energy, overcome all obstacles, and finally become the master in the wilderness. The so-called human nature and animal nature are ultimately just a debate between public and private. Selfishness is the background, and public spirit is the sublimation.

Everyone has selfish desires. Everyone in a group, regardless of their position, instinctively wants to gain benefits for themselves. Therefore, the larger the population, the more likely it is that the group will become a mob. Leaders who can say that the more the better are all very wise. This is the way of the university. "

Mo asked: "When they were getting smaller and smaller, was it because they lost their humanity and their animal nature emerged? If I help them rebuild their humanity, they will grow bigger again?"

Shi Feiyang said: "It doesn't matter whether you become big or small. You may become stupid or kill each other. In short, the bigger the animality, the more selfish it is. It will destroy itself in various ways."

Mo Zhui said worriedly, "I originally thought that as long as they were well-behaved and obedient, I would teach them the magic of Taoism, teach them to strengthen their body and mind, defeat wild beasts, and then reconcile yin and yang, so that the weather would be favorable and the crops would be good, and they would eat well and live well, then the population would naturally grow, and they would gradually become strong and healthy, and recover and grow bigger."

"Then you are turning them into pets, tools, and puppets. Each of them has their own selfish desires, and it is impossible for everyone to work for the public good." Shi Feiyang explained to him, "The one who advocated the greatest public spirit was Mozi, but he ignored the original bestiality of human beings and advocated communal ownership and sharing.

If the public spirit is promoted to the extreme and people are required to have no selfishness at all, they will eventually be abandoned by people. A country that takes selfishness to the extreme may appear in a few hundred years, but it will not last long. We must face up to the existence of public and private interests and make adjustments to match the actual situation. "

Mo Zhui asked again: "Dad, you established the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters in the Heavenly Mountain, but you stayed in the Middle Earth all year round and never asked about the government affairs there. But the public spirit there has reached the extreme?"

"Of course not. Whether human or demon, the original animal nature is the same. With civilization, the human nature established is also the same." Shi Feiyang was afraid that he would copy the Heavenly God Mountain mechanically, so he changed the subject, "The Great Way of the Three Emperors is to understand through the establishment and observation of human nature.

This is humanity. It is a tradition passed down through thousands of years of Chinese history, and emperors of all dynasties have continuously discussed and summarized this. In the Han Dynasty, there was a great debate on salt and iron. Some people believed that various minerals in the country should be publicly owned or privately owned. Some people believed that they should be publicly owned, while others believed that they should be privately owned.

In this dynasty, mineral resources have always been in the dispute between the public and private sectors, and the dispute was most intense during the Wanli Dynasty. The officials scolded the emperor for competing with the people for profits, and the eunuchs and eunuchs were harming the country and the people. All the private profits were put into the emperor's private treasury. In fact, competing with the people for profits is competing with the merchants for profits. The national treasury had long been emptied, leaving nothing.

Wanli was very stingy with the mining tax and put it into the treasury, so that he could use it for emergencies in times of famine and war. If it all fell into his own pocket, everything would be over! In the Song Dynasty, it was said that the emperor and the literati ruled the world together. It seemed that they were one, but in fact, even if the country was destroyed, the literati could still be appointed as marquises and prime ministers.

If you are a king, you must read history. Many emperors in history were very smart in their early years and did a lot of things, but suddenly became stupid and mentally retarded in their later years, and many of their actions were incredible. These are the key points, and you must think deeply about them. If you consider everything from the perspective of public and private, you will suddenly see the light. "

Shi Feiyang also told him: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. I tell you all this to explain the difference between human nature and animal nature, public spirit and private spirit, which are the foundation of humanity. I am not asking you to copy and paste mechanically. The specific method is not important, what is important is the principle behind it."

China has always used the same set of core principles to derive various "magics", including personal self-cultivation, governance, and medical practice.

Because its core philosophy is to integrate man and nature into a whole, from the Tao various principles are born, and from the principles are born millions of laws.

After listening to this, Mo Zhui had new understandings and ideas about how to cultivate his mind and qi in the future, how to deal with his selfishness and public spirit, and even how to govern the small country. Shi Feiyang added: "Whenever a country is founded in danger and hardship, there must be a war to establish the country. If it survives, the country can last for a long time. If it fails, it will be destroyed in the second generation at most. However, there are opportunities in danger, just like the fate of a person. If it survives, there will be many benefits. According to my calculations, your small country also has a catastrophe, but it is caused by you."

The disaster he was talking about was those people who were searching everywhere for the Ten Thousand Year Old Queen Mother Grass.

Mo Zhui can choose to face the calamity with the villains in this valley. The villains get hope of returning to their original state by getting Mo Zhui, but they will also face the calamity.

If they can get through it, Mo Zhui and the little people will experience the baptism of magic, which will bring them many benefits in the future.

Mo Zhui could also choose to go somewhere else to fight with those people, but the separation of the future monarch from the country would also sow the seeds of many disasters in the future.

In the Journey to the West Alchemy Classic, on the journey to the west, there is one king for each country, and the body and the country are one. Mo Zhui also has a bit of this flavor here.

On the second night, Sui Yin came to Baiyang Mountain alone.

He first met Shi Longgu who was waiting here, and Shi Longgu brought him to see Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang asked Sui Yin: "Do you still remember me?"

His appearance has not changed over the years. Sui Yin would wake up in shock whenever he dreamed about him. He had a deep memory and quickly said, "I remember."

"You also know who I am?"

"Yes, I know that you are the Lord of the Heavenly Divine Mountain, the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty, and the True Man Yuanyang."

"Well, it's good to know. Back then, you left Baiman Mountain and became a disciple of the Red-haired Ancestor. Now I want to tell you that the Red-haired Ancestor will also face the same situation as the Green-robed Ancestor did in the past."

"Ah?" Sui Yin was surprised. "Senior, are you going to attack Hongmu Ridge? I wonder how you and the Red Haired Ancestor came to have such a grudge?"

Sui Yin fled alone that year. Later, when he inquired about the news, he learned that the Green Robe Patriarch had fled to the West. Xin Chenzi became a disciple of the Red Haired Patriarch and introduced him to that place as well.

Over the years, Sui Yin had only seen the Red Haired Ancestor twice, and all the Taoist skills he obtained were taught by Hong Changbao. Every time he taught a spell, he asked them to do a lot of things as a reward, and the words he spoke were very embarrassing. They, the "Green Robe" disciples, did not have a good life under the Red Haired Ancestor.

They said they were disciples of the Red-haired Ancestor, but in fact, even the younger generations like Yao Kaijiang, who were his direct descendants, could boss them around, so they did not establish a true master-disciple relationship with the Red-haired Ancestor.

Shi Feiyang told Sui Yin: "I didn't have any deep hatred with the Red Haired Ancestor in the past, but this time I took his Five Elements Divine Fire Furnace as compensation to my disciple. He will definitely not give up. If his disciples instigate him, he will definitely come to fight me. He can't win against me, so he will definitely cause the whole family to be destroyed by me in the end."

If someone else dared to make such big claims and showed such disregard for the Red-haired Ancestor, Sui Yin would definitely laugh at the other person for being so arrogant.

But when these words came out of Shi Feiyang's mouth, everything seemed so natural and peaceful.

"I asked you to come here today because I want you to tell the Red Haired Ancestor a message. The Thousand-Year-Old Queen Mother Grass that his disciples and grandchildren are trying so hard to find is my adopted child. Qiu Yuan, who they almost killed and crippled, is my new disciple. The Five Elements Divine Fire Furnace is my compensation.
Before anyone is killed, let's call it quits. Let him control his disciples and stop causing trouble. In the future, he will need my help to survive the catastrophe of heaven and earth. I know he is upset, but if he gets angry and seeks revenge on me, he will end up with his entire family wiped out.

He is also a person who is proficient in numerology and has a demon. Let him weigh the pros and cons of this. Cultivating immortals is not about fighting and killing, but about the sublimation of oneself. Of course, I know that he will not listen to these words, not to mention that there are bad people instigating, but it is just a courtesy before force. "

He took out an elixir and a jade talisman and asked Qiu Yuan to give them to Sui Yin: "I didn't use you to pass on the message in vain. These two things are your compensation. If you can escape this disaster, you can go to the Little South Pole Heavenly Mountain to find Yuan Hua and ask him to arrange a place for you to practice meditation. As long as you don't cause trouble again in the future, you can enjoy the peace and happiness of immortality."

Sui Yin understood what he said, but he couldn't wrap his mind around some of the logic behind it.

However, he knew that Shi Feiyang was well versed in Taoism, and killing him would probably be as easy as killing a chicken. No matter what, he had to agree first.

In order to gain Shi Feiyang's trust, he swallowed the pill in front of him and then wore the jade talisman on his body.

Afterwards, Shi Feiyang asked him to leave Baiyang Mountain and bring a letter to the Red-haired Ancestor.

He was then led to Redwood Ridge, where he learned that the Red-haired Old Ancestor had come out of seclusion and was meeting a guest.

Sui Yin was puzzled: "These few days are not the time for Master to come out of retreat. According to what Senior Brother Hong said before, Master will not be able to come out for another two or three months."

One of the Red Haired Patriarch’s disciples said, “The Grandmaster came out of retreat early this time because a distinguished guest came. We almost had a fight this morning, and even the Shura Blood Formation on the mountain was opened.”

Sui Yin was shocked: "What kind of enemy is so powerful that you brothers can't defeat it? You actually want to open the mountain protection formation?"

He heard that the Red Haired Ancestor had a grudge against the Demon Corpse Gu Chen, and that this Shura Blood Transformation Formation was specially prepared for the Demon Corpse Gu Chen. He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the Demon Corpse Gu Chen is here? But how could he turn an enemy into a friend?

At this moment, in the red-haired ancestor's cave, a young man in green clothes sat in the middle seat. He had a handsome face and a sharp temperament, holding a emerald green bamboo stick in his hand. (End of this chapter)
