The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 240 The Great Witch
Xiao Jun thought for a moment, then turned to the kneeling native in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"

"I have been a slave since I was young and have no name."

"Then I'll give you a name, Shi. It just so happens that my men are short of an assistant, so you'll stay by my side and help me out from now on! Now, get up!"

"Yes!" Shi slowly stood up and stood aside respectfully.

Shi was one of Xiao Jun's experimental subjects. The Taoist techniques of education and literacy developed by Xiao Jun, as well as the current Taoist technique of "eating air", were all tested on him.

Of course, Xiao Jun's experiment wasn't one that treated people like consumables. Instead, it was an experiment he conducted after assembling extremely detailed information. Everything was ready, except for actual practice.

Shi has made great contributions to Xiao Jun, so Xiao Jun asked him to work for him. Now that he has reached the level of skin refining, it is not difficult for him to help Xiao Jun pass on a message.

Seeing Shi's respect, Xiao Jun nodded slightly, then opened the door directly and let the person outside come in.

But Jingren walked in and said, "Sir, not long ago, that preaching voice..."

"That's the Taoist magic I used!" Xiao Jun said, "It's a Taoist magic I specially comprehended to help illiterate people learn and become literate quickly. I call it the Taoist magic of 'The Sound of the Dao'."

The ninja began to remain silent... and directly covered the entire city. After performing the Taoist magic, the entire originally ignorant population became literate people, and it was not the kind of evil brainwashing.

That kind of knowledge is only for others to understand and think for themselves, and it will not have any other impact on others!

Moreover, this Taoist technique was comprehended by the person in front of him. Jingren certainly knew what this represented. After the appearance of this Taoist technique called "Preaching the Dharma Sound", it will surely open people's minds!

If you can read and write, you can record, and if you can record, you can pass it on... This is the origin of family inheritance.

And it is obvious that if everyone in the entire country can record and pass on the knowledge, then an unimaginable great era will surely come!

This Taoist technique should be the technique used by saints to educate all living beings... Could it be that the person in front of me is a saint?

The ninja thought of Xiao Jun's immense spiritual will and was shocked. Could his suspicions be true? Although he wasn't a Taoist practitioner, he knew the immense difficulty of creating a Taoist technique. Yet, the person before him seemed to have created one at will.

"Such a person created a sage's art... Only a sage could create such a powerful art!"

"If Buddhism possesses such a technique, then it will surely spread its teachings throughout the universe..."

The wisdom of the Jingren is enough to understand the terrible potential of this Taoist technique.

Then Jingren turned his head and looked at Shi next to Xiao Jun. He studied it for a while. With the memory of the Martial Saint, he knew that Shi was once a slave under Xiao Jun, but he didn't know how he became a leather-refining warrior now.

The Jingren remained silent and did not continue to ask questions. Xiao Jun glanced at the Jingren for a few seconds, then said to him, "Master Jingren, I just happen to have some doubts about martial arts in my mind, and I would like to ask for your advice."

Jingren clasped his hands together, his thoughts racing, and then nodded. "My primary cultivation technique is the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Sutra, which is essentially a dual cultivation method of Taoism and martial arts... I can't develop any Taoist techniques right now, but I can explain the Buddhist and martial arts principles within it to you."

"The foundation of this practice is the power of diligence and courage in Buddhism, and it also requires the powerful wisdom of Prajna."

"Without Prajna wisdom, there will be no courage and power?" Xiao Jun said so.

"Yes! I didn't expect that the donor's Buddha nature is so profound." Jingren said.

"There's no such thing as Buddha-nature. It's simply a natural truth. A person possessing the greatest courage must possess sufficient wisdom. Without sufficient wisdom, true courage is impossible!" Xiao Jun replied. It's like the difference in courage between a superstitious person and a wise and faithful person. The superstitious person is always timid, unwilling to accept anything. Even if they are brave, it's only fanatical and foolish.

Those who are full of wisdom and faith will immediately be filled with courage when opportunities arise, and will seize them decisively, even at the cost of their own lives! Those who truly possess great courage must also possess great wisdom, and vice versa!

"That's right!" Jingren nodded, was silent for a while, and then began to explain the "Great Power Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Sutra" to Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun listened to the scriptures and the martial arts principles contained in it.

Jingren, a martial arts saint, also demonstrated various martial arts in front of Xiao Jun. As a martial arts saint, he must be proficient in many martial arts, deeply cultivated in martial arts, and have a keen wisdom and inspiration for the principles of martial arts, so he is called a saint!
Although Jingren's main training method was only the "Great Power Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Sutra", he also read a lot of other martial arts and had a deep understanding of martial arts.

It opened the door to a higher level of martial arts for Xiao Jun!

……

For the next period of time, at the same time every day, Xiao Jun would perform the Taoist technique "Preaching the Dharma Sound", starting with reciting basic classics such as "Thousand Character Classic" and "Three Character Classic", so that these people in Tianwu City could understand the basic principles.

But then, Xiao Jun began to recite articles from sages and spread various knowledge, such as astronomy, arithmetic, and field measurement geometry.

Xiao Jun's "Dharma Voice of Preaching" spread, and after the various natives in Tianwu City heard these voices in their hearts, their thoughts were resonated, and they naturally understood a lot of knowledge.

After acquiring basic knowledge of literacy and arithmetic, Jingren, as the leader, finally had talents to govern the wilderness. Many slaves in Tianwu City who were more intelligent understood knowledge and principles more quickly, and were directly deprived of their slave treatment by Jingren and became officials for governance.

Many wild people from Tianwu City were also sent out to govern the wilderness villages and towns in the wilderness.

In fact, the country created by the Wugui Dao is only about the size of a province in Daqian. There are no various cities next to Tianwu City. Some wild people who have a smooth grasp of knowledge are directly sent by the elite ninjas to various cities to take over.

However, these wild people rely on Xiao Jun's "The Sound of Preaching the Dharma". They can learn knowledge well in Tianwu City, but they will have no time to learn knowledge if they go out.

The elite ninjas had no choice but to eliminate the last ones and send out some of the less knowledgeable people, and even used some tough measures.

On this day, the sound of preaching was heard as usual. The natives in Tianwu City could no longer be called natives. They had begun to be able to read and write and understand the truth. After all, the term "natives" was a derogatory term. Now these formerly ignorant natives were now upright wild people.

As a leader, it is now much easier for Jingren to screen out talents and manage the wilderness.

"The person who drove out the evil spirits also taught us the truth... Such a great existence... Could it be a witch?" A wild man said to his companion next to him.

The witch is a higher-level existence promoted by the Wuguidao in the wilderness, and has become a unique culture of the wilderness. There is also worship of the existence of the witch.

"Such a great existence should not just be that kind of wizard, but a great wizard!" The companion explained it this way based on his own worldview.

"Great Wizard! Yes, yes! It should be called the Great Wizard!"

As time went by, after Xiao Jun taught the various theories of various schools of thought and basic calculation methods to the wild people of Tianwu City, their understanding of the world became clearer and their wisdom grew.

Of course, the original barbarians were very primitive, and the current world was not as colorful as the Daqian world. At most, they discussed some basic knowledge with each other. However, the classic principles taught by Xiao Jun were also gradually changing these barbarians.
