In the city of Teotihuacan before, when Li Ye met Ma Lun, it was the first time that he saw the ability of the true god of the Crescent Sect. As for the true god, he could show them the direction in the "starship" and let them go smoothly. The scene where the secret is found is still fresh in my memory.
There is no doubt that the True God of the New Moon Sect is a powerful existence. Not only does he have the strength to defeat the old holy Buddha of Shimen, making the other party have to abandon Tianzhu and send his master Tang to make a final fight, but he also has the ability to faintly grasp the power outside this world. clue.
Confronting such an opponent head-on was what Li Ye had been looking forward to for a long time.
In the Immortal Territory to the west of the Seven Rivers Basin and the east of Dashimulu City, the immortal army of the Great Tang Dynasty confronted the immortal monks of the New Moon Sect.
Both sides took the lead before the battle, and it was the great Luo Jin fairyland's strength. Feihong, Bull Demon King, and Yang Jian are the three giants on the immortal side of the Tang Dynasty. Behind them are each other's trilogy, majestic and dignified.
On the side of the New Moon Sect, four mighty experts confronted them.
The man's beard is all stretched out, and because of the color and thickness of his hair, he has the posture of a "golden lion king"; Looking at the banners beside them, it can be seen that these monks are the four guardians of the New Moon Sect True God.
In front of the formation of the two armies, the clouds gathered like mountains, the flags looked like waves, and under the subtle confrontation and collision of spiritual energy, the long and heavy thunder sounded from time to time, which further set off the tense atmosphere of daggers and swords.
Seeing that one was going to attack and the other was going to counterattack, the mighty men's eyebrows were like iron, and the monks' eyes were like swords, staring at each other fiercely, and a fight was about to start if the control of one's energy was not stable. The two armies were on the battlefield, Li Ye and the true god finally slowly show up.
"I thought that the New Moon Sect and Datang would meet in the end, but I never expected it to be like this. You are stronger than I expected, and you are an opponent worthy of serious attention." True God looked at Li Ye without making a gesture. Said lightly.
The aura behind him is like the sun, you can't look directly at it, the aura around you is like a mist, drifting like a butterfly. It seems that from the moment he appeared, all the good things in the world gathered to him, changing with his thoughts.
Full of momentum, without falling into the dust.
Li Ye smiled calmly, "In wars in this world, all the losers who have prepared in advance will feel that their opponents are stronger than they expected—if not, they would not have lost."
"Do you think you are already a winner?" True God asked teasingly.
Li Ye said: "At least I don't think that the strength of the New Moon Sect is beyond imagination."
"Since this is the case, it seems that there is no other way between you and me other than fighting and fighting to win or lose." Zhenshen said calmly.
Li Ye said: "Although this world is big, there is only room for one voice to give orders, and one banner for people to follow. Only in this way can the living people in the sky and the earth be truly integrated and united, and they can exert their greatest strength." , to meet the challenges and future of the vast world outside the region.”
Hearing this, the True God pondered for a moment.
After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "You are indeed a good emperor,
Visionary enough. Over the years, I have seen many kings who use various methods to control their subjects.
"Some people use the threat of swords to coerce people's bodies, making them have to submit; some people use the seemingly righteous, beautiful and bright foolish theory to imprison and induce people's thoughts, so that they are willing to die for them, or unconsciously. Bricks. Many of these men have achieved great things, even built powerful empires.
"However, those who use swords use bows and crossbows, and those who borrow the name of gods also use the banner of the common people. The world is full of disputes because of this. Even today, you are still fighting for it, and there is no real cessation in sight." that day.
"Ordinary people always admire heroes, hoping that the other party can achieve their wishes and let them live in a world that is truly rich, peaceful, free and free from oppression. For this reason, they are willing to fight with each other and risk their lives. However, in the end, they can only sadly find that the heroes in their eyes have become heroes!
"Thousands of soldiers poured bloody battles into it. It is not a world of bliss, a perfect paradise, or a great contemporary era, but another new dynasty. The emperor is high above, the rich and powerful are still powerful, and the hard-earned money of ordinary people is still used by them in various ways One kind of overt or covert means to squeeze.
"The vast majority of people in this world are people who have been sold and paid for. They are oppressed, but they are still praising the benevolence and love of the emperors and dignitaries, and they cannot see the truth of their own suffering. They can eat meat and wear clothes I thought it was the prosperous age, but I never thought that this is the gift of civilization and progress, not the rich and powerful!
"Li Ye, you keep saying that you are for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that this flag is not a cover for you to use the people of the Tang Dynasty to fight for you? Don't say you don't know it, and don't say that you have cultivated the way of the emperor to this day. Admit that there are only three beings in an empire—the shepherd, the dogs, and the sheep."
After hearing these words, Li Ye was startled.
He didn't expect that the true god would say so many words to him as soon as they met; he even didn't expect that the other party said such things to him.
Regardless of the true God's intentions, the fact that He can tell Li Ye these words in person means that in His heart, Li Ye is qualified to discuss the truth with him.
When Li Ye was pondering, the True God continued: "People always hope that there will be no oppression in this world, and everyone can enjoy fairness, but they don't think about it. If a shepherd does not lay wool or eat mutton, he is still called a shepherd."

"The world is bustling with profit. If the emperors and dignitaries have nothing to gain, what are they doing to build an empire?"
Li Ye interrupted the words of the true god, and said seriously: "Without the protection of the imperial dynasty, what will happen to the people when foreign enemies invade? Without the government to maintain order, what will happen to the people if there are strong people doing evil?"
The real god smiled, "So you think it's only natural for emperors and officials to oppress the people?"
Li Ye shook his head: "It's only natural to collect taxes and pay protection fees. It really shouldn't be exploited."
The real god asked: "Don't the officials of the Tang Dynasty have thousands of acres of fertile land? Do people with power in their hands eat and use the so-called salary?"
Li Ye also laughed, "That's why the cultivation method is widely spread in the Tang Dynasty, so that the common people can practice it."
The true god said in a deep voice: "So what?"
Li Ye said: "With force in the hands of the people, they can guarantee the most basic dignity. When the empire's oppression breaks through the bottom line, they can rise up and resist, instead of just talking about it in vain—oh, maybe they don't even dare to talk about it." .
"The empire is afraid of the large-scale riots of the people, or even the formation of an army, threatening the order of the country, so they dare not squeeze them too hard."
True God said coldly: "This is your solution?"
Li Ye said: "It's not the most perfect method, but it's the most basic."
The chill in the voice of the True God did not diminish: "With force in the hands of the people, problems will inevitably arise. Haven't you ever thought that some criminals will kill people in the street?"
Li Ye said: "Criminals kill, isn't this a problem that the government should solve? To kill people, kitchen knives are fine. But under cultivation and civilization, kitchen knives are really no threat to the army and cannot maintain their own dignity. So they must have cultivation. "
Speaking of this, Li Ye's thoughts drifted away for a moment.
Some empires, once a land of exile, later relied on force to resist oppression, thus establishing a dynasty and a state. Force is the last resort for them to protect their freedom, dignity and rights. In such an empire, even if someone commits a crime in the street, force will not be banned.
It is not that the emperors and dignitaries are unwilling, but that the people are unwilling. They are well aware that the force possessed by everyone is their last reliance to maintain freedom and dignity in front of the powerful, and it is the bottom line.
The True God took a deep breath and said slowly: "So your Great Tang really wants ordinary people to have fairness and freedom?"
Li Ye nodded solemnly.
This is his belief.
The True God stared at Li Ye, and asked word for word: "Are you really not afraid that they will oppose you?"
Li Ye smiled openly, "If my dynasty didn't harm or oppress the people, how could they oppose me? They wouldn't be allowed to practice, and their ability to oppose the dynasty would be taken away. The dynasty would lose the checks and balances from the people, the social contract One party is just fish on the chopping board, how can the other party abide by such a contract
"This kind of empire will really continue to be corrupt, dark, depraved, and then change the endless cycle. If there is a day, I hope that such a dynasty will cease to exist. The people of the Tang Dynasty need a new emperor. A new group of officials."
Hearing these words, the true god's brows and eyes were terrified.
He looked at Li Ye with fear for the first time.
He didn't take advantage of this round of confrontation about Dao Xin. On the contrary, because of the in-depth conversation, he understood and realized Li Ye's strength.
It is impossible for a person to have no desires and selfish desires, especially for emperors and dignitaries. Only the truly civilized people and the force in their hands can limit them.
Such a world is not the world in front of me.
An emperor with Li Ye's thoughts should not be an emperor born in this world.
