Can love influence them?

"This "Shen Yang Gong"... Thank you - when the spy writes, I will definitely take you to rescue Yu Jiancheng!"

"Thank you!"

Xuan Yangzi clasped his fists solemnly and said:

"I have no way of repaying your kindness. If you need me in the future, Ying Jiuyang, just tell me. I will definitely not refuse!"

"You're too polite."

Ying Jiuyang waved his hand and said:

"We are already an engaged couple, there is no need to be so formal."

Xuan Yangzi asked curiously:

"Now can you tell me why you will marry me if I give you the Divine Yang Kung?"

"This story started a long, long time ago."

Ying Jiuyang said slowly:

"Xuan Yangzi, what do you think of the current state of the cultivation world?"

"It's rotten!" Xuan Yangzi said firmly.

"Do you think that most people are unreasonable perverts?" Ying Jiuyang asked again.

"That's right!" Xuan Yangzi nodded.

"Do you want to change the world?"

"think."

"Well, someone has actually done it before you."

"Someone is trying to change the world?"

"Yes."

Ying Jiuyang said:

"A long, long, long time ago, there was a person who suddenly became enlightened and began to spread the idea of ​​equality for all living beings. He also asked the powerful people at that time to open up all their skills, spiritual jade stones, and elixir resources so that everyone could have the opportunity to receive cultivation education."

Xuan Yangzi felt uneasy and asked, "What's the result?"

"Needless to say, the result is obvious."

Ying Jiuyang sighed:

"That man was strangled by the powerful men of the time. The ideas and teachings he spread were all regarded as crazy and were not accepted by everyone, including ordinary people."

“Ordinary people don’t accept it either?”

"Ordinary people feel that they have the opportunity to become strong and do not want to be equal to others, or they are completely desperate and dare not resist or fight, so almost no one accepts that person's ideas."

"Is there no one?" Xuan Yangzi said sadly.

"Not entirely."

Ying Jiuyang raised two fingers and said:

"Two - that man had two disciples who survived and inherited their master's ideals."

"One is similar to the Sword Demon today, madly slaughtering all kinds of people in the cultivation world, and forcing all forces in the cultivation world to unite with his own strength."

"It is said that in order to deal with the Dao Demon, all the major forces at that time had to recruit disciples and share their skills with each other. They put aside their past grudges and were not afraid of the other party surpassing themselves. They opened up all their resources so that everyone could research stronger skills and formations to deal with the Dao Demon at that time."

"This is also the prototype of the major sects in the cultivation world today."

"If there were no Dao Demons threatening the entire cultivation world, there might not be any sect-like organizations that accept disciples in the world."

"Master said that he was called——"

"Dao Mo."

Chapter 188 Dao Demon Inheritance

ancient times.

Before humans discovered the secrets of cultivation, people had to unite and form large social groups to deal with various wild beasts and natural disasters.

After the society is formed, in order to make the unity function normally, there are morals and laws to maintain the most basic survival rights of every individual.

From a family to an empire.

There may be some barbaric things happening, but compared to other wild animals, human civilization has developed to an extreme.

Respect the old and love the young, monogamy, no stealing or robbing, etc.

Various moral and legal standards were passed down from that time.

Therefore, people call the ancient society the "Great Harmony Society" or the "Great Harmony World".

Even today, the moral concepts passed down from the Great Harmony Society still play a weak role.

however.

Ever since some people discovered the secret of cultivation, the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The order of the world of great harmony collapsed.

Because of cultivation, a person can live well even if he is separated from society or group.

Individual strength is above the group.

Therefore, he does not need to abide by human morals and laws and can release his inner desires without restraint.

In order to monopolize the method of cultivating the Tao, those who become strong first use various methods to block the possibility of those who come after them to cultivate the Tao.

Including but not limited to massacres, burning of books, establishment of religions, and implementation of policies to keep people ignorant.

Fortunately, the world of cultivation is very large.

No matter how those powerful men expand their territories, there are always places they cannot control.

Ordinary people in those places still maintain the original moral and legal society.

Even so.

Among these ordinary people who survived, some inadvertently began to discover the secrets of cultivation, and then followed the practices of other powerful people in the outside world and began to put personal interests above the collective.

After a long period of confusion.

The great harmony world of ancient times finally collapsed completely, and the new order of the world of cultivation took shape.

An absolutely strong man stands at the top, several weaker cultivators serve as managers, and countless mortals serve as slaves, responsible for the cultivators' food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment.

This social structure is also the structure of many organizations in the cultivation world today, or it has its shadow.

Mortals are not qualified to touch elixirs and skills, and can only survive as slaves all their lives.

Occasionally, a mortal with extraordinary talents would step into the realm of cultivation through self-realization, but would immediately be suppressed by the monopolists.

Only less than one in ten million people can escape the pursuit of the monopolists and eventually join the ranks of powerful cultivators.

however.

Even if these mortals overcome all difficulties and become powerful cultivators, they will only compromise and become part of the same gang with their former pursuers, oppressing countless ordinary people together.

until one day.

One person suddenly became aware. He spoke up for the mortals and asked the strong ones to share their skills and elixirs.

After this man was hanged, he had two disciples who inherited his mantle and began to practice how to realize the moral society of ancient times where everyone is equal.

One of the two disciples is the "Tao Demon" known to everyone in the world.

Daomo thought of the conditions that made people united in ancient times. It was the various wild beasts and natural disasters that forced people to unite and form a harmonious society.

The Taoist demons wanted to use this to recreate the ancient world of great harmony.

"The Dao Demon lets himself act as the beast and natural disaster of the new world, forcing people to unite and build a more equal society."

Ying Jiuyang lowered his eyes and said:

"Because only a fairer society can break the monopoly, give birth to more powerful people, and fight against the Tao Demon."

"Daomo failed, right?" Xuan Yangzi said in a low voice.

"Yes."

Ying Jiuyang sighed:

"Although Dao Mo is very powerful, he is only one person after all. He soon couldn't keep up with the times, and was eventually strangled by everyone in the cultivation world."

"However, Dao Mo's death is not entirely useless."

Ying Jiuyang continued:

"Because of Taoism and Demonism, the sect, a more equitable organizational structure, emerged in the cultivation world."

"In the sect, the strong share their skills, elixirs and other resources, and help the weaker ones, even those who are not their blood relatives, become stronger together."

"Before the Dao Demon appeared, this kind of thing would have been impossible. Those powerful people didn't even like their own blood relatives."

“But after the Dao Demon appeared, the strong ones had to establish sects, and were eventually defeated by stronger disciples.”

"Although after so long, the sect has been controlled by the big families, or the sect has become a new absolute power to oppress other sects, or it has simply reverted to the ancient times and was monopolized by a certain absolute power, and the sharing of skills and elixirs was closed, making them the private property of the absolute power."

"Wait, this is a step backwards in history, and morality is sliding back to the old ways."

Ying Jiuyang spread his hands and shook his head:

"But no matter what, Taoism and Demonism have finally promoted fair development in the world of cultivation. People can still remember the moral concepts of ancient times, as well as the feelings of family, master-disciple friendship, sharing, and mutual love."

"Whether they will be good people or not, at least some people remember that people were once united, equal, and loved each other. That's enough. We haven't completely forgotten and regressed."

"After all, there is still a little hope that it can be passed down, so as not to completely cut off the inheritance of morality, make the law of the jungle really become something that should be taken for granted, and turn everyone into mindless beasts."

Ying Jiuyang pointed at Xuan Yangzi and said:

"For example, you and I, we are the remnants of the ancient concept of a harmonious society."

Ying Jiuyang said proudly again:

"My master is a follower of the Dao-Demon philosophy. She is still looking for a way to restore the ancient harmonious society, a method that is different from and better than the Dao-Demon philosophy. It was she who told me the story of the Dao-Demon philosophy."

"Who is your master?" Xuan Yangzi asked puzzledly.

"I don't know." Ying Jiuyang shook his head regretfully.

"do not know?"

"Master didn't tell me her origins."

Ying Jiuyang sighed, his eyes lost in thought as he recalled the past, then he smiled and said:

"I only remember that Master was wearing a red dress with a red silk ribbon draped over her shoulders, swirling between her arms. It fluttered in the wind, making her look like she was floating in the air, with a beauty that transcended the mundane world."

Ying Jiuyang lifted her skirt, turned around happily and said:

"I'm wearing this outfit in imitation of what my master wears. How do you think it is? Isn't it beautiful?"

"Hmm...beautiful..."

After Xuan Yangzi heard a few perfunctory words, his heart was actually in turmoil, and he couldn't help but think:

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

The Master mentioned by Ying Jiuyang...

Why does it sound like Fairy Hong Ling?

The red skirt, red silk, and personal philosophy all perfectly match the Fairy Hong Ling.

No wonder I mistook her for my master when I woke up.

Xuan Yangzi looked at Ying Jiuyang suspiciously, thinking:

If the attire of my master that Ying Jiuyang was imitating was the attire of my master, Fairy Hong Ling, then it makes sense that I mistook her for my master just now.

If that is the case...

Ying Jiuyang said she would marry me. Was this also arranged by the master?

Xuan Yangzi frowned and asked:
