It is not that difficult to take over Baishou City, because mortals really don’t know anything.
The former Master Pu De of Mingtang Temple was a deity. The man who was called the Big Master of Jinxian Sect was also a deity.
There is no difference to mortals, they are all gods anyway.
To the west of the city, at the former site of Mingtang Temple, Song Yin walked along, and seeing how easy it was for his people to enter the city and rule, he shook his head and said, "Not good."
Accompanying him were his fellow apprentices from the Golden Immortal Sect, as well as Zuo Yizhi, Ding Ergou, and Su Yougen.
Hearing Song Yin's speech, Ding Ergou was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down, "Master, I know I didn't do well, but my ability is limited. In order to keep this place stable, I had to spend money to hire people, but I didn't use a single cent of this place. Even this set of clothes was given to me by Brother Zuo, and the world can bear witness to that!"
"Yes, master, I have a considerable family fortune, and I donated all this money on my own initiative. I dare not use the sect's funds." Zuo Yizi also knelt down.
The problem that Bai Shoucheng has encountered is more than just an impending riot. Those who had been holding their breath for blessings in the past suddenly lost their blessings and hope. It is like a gambler who has lost all his money and is suddenly told that he can no longer gamble when he thinks he is about to make a comeback.
There was no riot on the spot, only because there were gods above to put pressure on them. However, these people who "did good deeds" paid too much but got nothing in return. But the problem needs to be solved.
Especially when they knew that there was a large amount of wealth in the west of the city, if Zuo Yizhi had not arrived in time, Ding Ergou probably would not have been able to hold on to it.
Zuo Yizi spent all his family wealth and, under the name of work-for-relief and the Golden Immortal Sect, half-paid and half-employed these people, so that they could have money again. In addition, he recruited soldiers to maintain law and order, and only then was he able to stabilize the situation in the city.
Only after these disturbances were eliminated did the city gradually stabilize.
After all, not everyone is the kind of person who wants nothing but blessings.
Some people don't take it seriously. Doing good deeds and accumulating merits is actually very tiring. Many people just hold on, hoping that blessings will befall them.
Now that we no longer have good fortune, we don't have to worry about it anymore. Instead, it is natural to get paid for paid work. You can buy whatever you want and eat whatever you want. You don't have to worry about vegetarianism or good deeds. If you are willing to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, don't do it.
This has actually earned some people real respect.
For example, Ding Ergou, although he was in charge of the gold and silver in the city, and Zuo Yi's previous visit made the people in the city tacitly accept his position as the head of the city, but he did not become complacent because of this. Instead, he was still willing to provide food to those who fled because of the war and could not afford it.
But now, people do things within their means and will not provide for others when they have no food to eat.
After resolving the crisis for his own children, he would still do good deeds.
There are some people who did good deeds when Pu De was still alive, but once their "blessings" were gone, they threw them aside and didn't care about anything anymore.
Some restaurants used to serve delicious fish and meat every day, causing many people to line up just for a bite of food.
But when Pu De was not around, they started collecting money, but this is understandable. Without the so-called blessings, they just had to make money, otherwise why would they open a restaurant
Without asking for anything, you are given delicious food and fish every day
That would mean the common people would be treated as prey.
Isn’t this the case in a certain third brother’s hometown
As for those mortals who did good things in the past, no one blamed them. Instead, no one thought it was normal.
Zuo Yizi even hoped that this would be the case, as this would be the fastest way to eliminate the influence of the previous Mingtang Temple.
"It has nothing to do with you. You are doing a great job."
Song Yin raised his palm and let the two of them stand up automatically, and continued: "What I said is not good, it is too easy for us to enter this city."
"Ah? Isn't this a good thing?" Zhang Feixuan asked.
No one resisted and there was no impact. The first time that their Golden Immortal Sect entered the human world, they were recognized by the mortals in the city. This meant that subsequent things would be easier to do.
“Sometimes, good things don’t come easy.”
Song Yin said: "For the people in the city, there is actually no difference between looking at us and looking at Mingtang Temple or the Soundless Gate."
Yeah, there's no difference.
Some people are a little confused.
They were also mortals before. When they were mortals, they thought a Qi-refining practitioner was a god. Even after they entered the realm of Qi-refining, they thought all the sects in the world were righteous.
Only the eldest brother could make such a clear distinction.
But that is their internal matter and has nothing to do with mortals. Just accept their protection.
"Look at you all, you all agree with it. Do you all think that we are no different from these evil ways?" Song Yin frowned.
Feeling the dissatisfaction in Song Yin's eyes and words, Zhang Feixuan shuddered and immediately bowed: "Of course there is a difference, we are the right way, and they are the evil way!"
"Yes, they are evil, but they are different from evil."
Song Yin said calmly: "Their evil ways are not the cannibalistic ways of the Xumi Vein, but in the eyes of mortals, as long as their lives are not taken away immediately, they will not know."
"To them, there are only gods who eat humans and gods who don't eat humans."
Song Yin sighed, "Offerings, offerings, all about offerings. At the beginning, I protected the mortals and let them live by the foot of the mountain. They were obviously dying, but they still wanted to offer offerings to the sect. And now these mortals easily let us take over, which means they are not opposed to this."
"What we consider to be evil ways are no different to them. They all need offerings. As for what is offered, to mortals, it's all the same anyway, because they can't die."
"Even if someone is deprived of his spirit and coughs with phlegm, he can still last for decades. Even if someone suddenly gets sucked too much, it will only make people feel that he died young. For a village, the sudden death of a few young people every year will not cause any panic."
"But what about a place, a country, or a world? The accumulated number of people would be a terrifying number, but no one would know, no one would care, and most people would still be alive."
He pointed at Su Yougen and Zuo Yizhi and said, "Coughing, shortness of breath, and phlegm, so what? We are still alive."
He pointed at Sun Jiubei and said, "Those mortals with you are just confused. They are not incapable of movement. They can eat, sleep, and work, so they are alive."
"Living to fifty, sixty, seventy or eighty years old is no different from a normal person's life span, so no one will care. Those evil ways will not kill you. So no matter who rules, it will be the same. There is no difference."
"But the more this happens, the sadder I become!"
Song Yin said in a deep voice: "This means that once we, the Golden Immortal Sect, leave or fail to continue to pay attention, other evil sects will enter the city under the guise of the righteous sect. There will still be people who believe them and will not resist. Everything we do will be in vain."
"So I said, this is not good, this needs to change."
