I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Things have two sides.

A wicked person who kills and commits atrocities may, unexpectedly, be a filial child under their parents' knees, praised by neighbors as a timely rain, and even receive official commendations.

A virtuous person who is weak and timid, not daring to speak up when witnessing injustice, may also be capable of anger and evil, taking the law into their own hands to kill an unfaithful wife and adulterous husband in bed, becoming a villain in the eyes of the law.

However, no matter how the former disguises themselves, they cannot change the fact that they are a wicked person, and no matter how the law criticizes the latter, it cannot change the fact that they are an honest person seeking justice.

Good and evil, cause and effect, are just two extremes with different perspectives, concepts, and evaluations.

Similarly, the masses also possess this duality. On one hand, they are the clear-eyed creators of history, and on the other hand, they are the ignorant masses.

Contradictory, yet so reasonable. That's why a great person who sympathizes with all beings and practices the path of salvation throughout their life would say that the masses need education.

However, Chu Shen learned many theories from that great person but was self-aware enough to know that he couldn't wholeheartedly and willingly devote himself to the cause of saving the world. All he could do was to do what he could within the scope of protecting himself and his family.

When poor, focus on self-improvement; when prosperous, help others.

Just like now, whether it's explaining theoretical knowledge to Luo Dang and others or assisting them in evacuating the masses, it is within his capabilities. However, resolving the chaos in Yongzhou is beyond his ability, and he humbly declines. Moreover, he cannot achieve it.

Fortunately, with his and Luo Dang's efforts, a large number of people gathered at the East Gate of the city were safely evacuated.

At night, ten miles outside Yongzhou City, scattered fires flickered in the wilderness. It was a gathering of a large number of evacuees huddled around the bonfires, seeking warmth and shelter from the cold.

Yongzhou City is in chaos and not so easily resolved. Whether it's the city officials or the military commanders, it will take several days to clean up this mess.

During this period, anything could happen, including the possibility of three to five hundred government soldiers being killed, but no one would take it seriously. Who knows if it was another group that made the move?

What should be done if the problem is discovered?

Just consider them unlucky. After all, Duke Deng Guo has already died, so what does a group of insignificant people matter?

As for the civilians who fled to the outskirts of the city, they are unlikely to receive much attention. How much can the panicked common people take with them when they flee? Isn't the majority of the wealth still left in the city?

Enough to be looted!

So as long as these refugees who are using fire for warmth don't encounter those destitute families who haven't looted anything and have red eyes, there is no need to worry too much about safety. The wild beasts in the wilderness are probably less dangerous than the army indulging in looting in the city.

Meanwhile, the people lingering outside the city are waiting for news from Yongzhou City.

If the chaos is quelled, they can return to the city and continue their lives.

If the chaos continues, those with relatives will go to them, while those without relatives will have to think about where to seek refuge.

Fortunately, many people remembered to bring food when they fled, and it is currently the season of abundance, so there is no need to worry about famine.

In the midst of silence, Chu Shen, along with some others like A Song and A Zao, are moving through the crowd. On one hand, they are maintaining order, and on the other hand, they are spreading their religious teachings.

By now, Chu Shen has already understood the origins of Luo Dang and the others. They are all subjects of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty. However, what sets them apart is that they have not converted to the flourishing Pilgrimage Sect of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, nor are they disciples of the declining Tian Dou Sect. Instead, they are new followers of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty's "Peaceful Way."

Chu Shen sat beside a large bonfire, looking quite pleased. After all, his fiancée came from the "Tai Ping Sect," which is one of the branches of the "Tai Ping Dao."

Unexpectedly, the influence behind his fiancée's family has reached the level of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, thriving and prospering.

"It turns out that Brother Chu also knows about the Tai Ping teachings and has a connection with our sect. My apologies for being impolite," said Luo Dang, who became even more enthusiastic upon learning that Chu Shen knew about the Tai Ping Dao and its branch. However, he remained cautious and did not reveal any further information to Chu Shen.

For example, why they wanted to assassinate Duke Deng Guo, what they planned to do after killing him, who was helping them, and so on.

Fortunately, Chu Shen was not interested in asking: "It's just a distant relationship. After all, the Tai Ping Dao is a well-known school even in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty. It is deeply rooted in the mortal world, and there are too many people associated with it."

Luo Dang sighed deeply, "I wish I could be in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and listen to the teachings of the wise."

"Wise" is the term used in this era to refer to those who have accumulated merits. The followers of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty have a strong admiration for those virtuous individuals associated with the Tai Ping Dao, which surprised Chu Shen a little.

"It's not as good as you think. The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty is also facing internal and external troubles, natural disasters and man-made calamities. Even if the Tai Ping Dao is doing its best to save the world and help the people, their abilities are still limited... Speaking of which, the Tai Ping Dao is already busy enough in the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty. Why are there still people coming to the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty to spread their teachings?"

This was indeed something he was curious about. Previously, when the city of Luo Zhou was massacred, he heard that people from the Tai Ping Dao were involved. Now, with the assassination of Duke Deng Guo, the Tai Ping Dao was once again involved. He couldn't help but feel that there was something significant behind it.

Upon hearing this, Luo Dang laughed heartily without providing a detailed explanation, only saying, "Perhaps the wise individuals know about the hardships faced by our Great Tang Immortal Dynasty and have come to offer their assistance."

Chu Shen shook his head, knowing that he wasn't telling the truth, but he wasn't annoyed either: "Let's not talk about that, let's just discuss what to do after these refugees."

As someone who was more familiar with the situation in the Great Tang Xian Dynasty, Luo Dang pondered for a moment upon hearing this and said, "The chaos in Yongzhou City this time was because the sudden situation couldn't be controlled, which led to the chaos. The main reason was the loss of control of the military..."

Chu Shen nodded. Duke Deng brought his 527 miscellaneous troops to Yongzhou City, but they were all killed in one fell swoop, causing the chaos in the army. However, once this "leader" is determined, the chaos will come to an end.

Moreover, the city lord of Yongzhou is still in power. As a senior official within the system, he wouldn't just sit back and watch Yongzhou City being ruined by a group of unruly soldiers. As long as those soldiers don't want to bear the label of "rebels," it is only a matter of time before this chaos is quelled, although the specific time is difficult to predict.

Fortunately, most of the residents in Yongzhou City are locals, and they generally have relatives and connections in the countryside outside the city, so it shouldn't be too difficult for them to temporarily seek refuge.

As for those non-local people who are not residents of Yongzhou City, their numbers are much smaller, and most of them are merchants or similar professions who generally have some assets, so there is no need to worry about their survival.

Indeed, Luo Dang's judgment of the situation was generally correct.

"Compared to that, I'm actually more worried about another matter," Luo Dang's worried words caught Chu Shen's attention. "What matter?" he asked.

Luo Dang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This matter is an internal matter among our Taiping believers. Whether it succeeds or not, you will always hear some information about it. I won't reveal the secret now."

"Being so secretive," Chu Shen shrugged it off.

But seeing Luo Dang's anxious and restless appearance, he couldn't help but feel that this matter seemed to be of great importance, to the point where even the assassination of Duke Deng was being carried out with meticulous coordination.
