Chapter 988: The Myriad Rituals
Wu Yi has been lying on the bed for more than a day, and the door is still deserted. There are few pommels and horses, and no one may be willing to lift the dark yellow curtains once a day. Even for daily meals, Wu Yi had to hold himself up and ask for food from others, which was extremely humbling.
Compared with their previous attitudes when Wu Yi was presented with the Tiger Roaring Knife by Marshal Zhang Tianwen, there was a huge difference. The so-called "don't forget each other even if you are rich and noble" is really hard to say. Before we are rich, when we are poor and humble, we worry about getting angry and dislike each other.
However, at this moment, Wu Yi's mood has changed, he is less depressed and unhappy, and more confident.
The arrival of the inner demon body freed Wu Yi from a completely passive situation, like a fish jumping back into the pond from the chopping board. Although he was surrounded by dangers, he was not completely helpless.
Now, the inner demon body has put Shen Congyue completely under his control and has begun to regain the old department, which is the starting point of revival.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few months, most of my efforts were spent on Shen Congyue. If even Shen Congyue turned his back on him, this task could basically be abandoned.
After subduing Shen Congyue, Wu Yi's confidence returned. While Shen Congyue was educating the believers, the inner demon body was not nearby, but the tiger's roaring knife appeared in front of Shen Congyue.
As for the image of the inner demon body, in the eyes of outsiders, it is nothingness, but in Shen Congyue's eyes, it is golden light and magnificent.
If they didn't know the cause and effect, some people might think that Shen Congyue was talking to himself.
Shen Congyue was naturally extremely surprised when the inner demon body appeared for the first time. How could he not be surprised when he met a person who had appeared countless times in the sea of consciousness in reality for the first time.
However, a series of hints over the day, like a series of fire and thunder explosions, had made her understand the identity of the person in front of her. Without any hesitation, Shen Congyue bowed respectfully and said: "See Allah!"
Allah, an omnipotent and omniscient image, is the appearance of the inner demon body that Wu Yi instilled in Shen Congyue's heart.
Even the Hunyuan Saint who shines with the sun and the moon and lives with the heaven and the earth may not dare to say that he knows everything and is omnipotent, but Wu Yi instilled it in this way. After countless psychological hints, Shen Congyue is no longer Not a shred of doubt about this.
In Wu Yi's eyes, the power of the inner demon body is reflected here, so powerful that it can even make people frightened.
When it comes to fighting alone in an upright and upright manner, the Inner Demon Body is not particularly outstanding. It is just above average, maybe even a little overrated. When it comes to manipulating people's hearts, it is top-notch. Fighting against the enemy is not a problem.
Although the inner demon body has entered the divine way, the innate supernatural power - the five yin and six thieves has not only not been weakened, but has only increased. There are only a handful of people who are qualified to use the five yunda and six thieves. At least in the bright moon world, the inner demon body The demon body has been silent for a long time.
The inner demon body opened its mouth and said: "Humanity has many latitudes and longitudes, and the rules are all-encompassing. They are enticed with benevolence and righteousness, and restrained with punishments. Therefore, those with good virtues are honored, and those with great salaries are favored. Therefore, all people are unified within one sea."
Every word that fell on Shen Congyue's heart was like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, deafening and enlightening, making her feel that she was gaining something every moment, and the excitement on her face was beyond words.
"...Rituals originate from people. Life has desires. If you don't get what you want, you can't live without anger. If you are angry without measure, you will fight, and fighting will lead to chaos. The ancient king hated the chaos, so he made etiquette and righteousness to nourish people's desires and meet people's demands. , so that desires are not limited by things, things are not succumbed to desires, and the two of them treat each other and grow, which is why etiquette is the source of nourishment."
After talking about it for such a long time, everyone who understands it will understand that the core lies in the word "ritual".
As mentioned before, Wu Yi wants to train Shen Congyue to become a god who punishes corrupt officials. However, Shen Congyue's Shinto system is extremely simple and does not even have an affiliated god. The ranking is still second best. This will Influence Shen Congyue's future growth.
If Shen Congyue wants to build a complete Shinto system, there are some problems that must be solved in advance.
First of all, why do corrupt officials appear?
Secondly, what are the specific manifestations of corrupt officials? Some people serve the country and the people and receive favors from the people. Are they considered corrupt officials? How to evaluate some officials with mixed qualities?
Also, regarding the specific punishment methods for corrupt officials, how to ensure that corrupt officials will be punished and no good people will be wronged?
Finally, and arguably the most important aspect, after punishing corrupt officials, how to ensure that no more corrupt officials will appear in the future, or how to reduce the occurrence of corrupt officials. Where do we need to start?
At present, Shen Congyue's divine power is not deep, there are not many believers, and his influence has not been involved in the official system at all. It is just a small fight. Such a simple Shinto system is not a problem, but as it develops step by step, system problems will still arise. exposed.
In these days, Shen Congyue encountered many such troubles. Some officials, in the eyes of some people, are good officials, but in the eyes of others, they are corrupt officials. How to evaluate them? Is it just a vote based on numbers?
If the above problems are not solved, Shen Congyue's group of believers will fall apart sooner or later. The people will be the gods and the believers will be divided. Shen Congyue may also become a mental patient, or directly divide into countless divine bodies. represent different interests.
Facing division before it has grown up is a disaster for any god, and it is naturally the same for Shen Congyue.
The inner demon body made Shen Congyue trust him through the hint of the seeds of evil thoughts, but what really established the unshakable position of the inner demon body in Shen Congyue's heart was to help Shen Congyue solve this disaster.
The formula given by Wu Yi is to treat it with etiquette!
Why do corrupt officials appear? That's because people have desires. If they can't get what they want, they can't help but feel angry. If they are angry without measure, they will fight, and fighting will lead to chaos! So we should follow the example of the ancient kings, formulate etiquette, and restrain them.
For the identification and evaluation of corrupt officials, Wu Yi refers to the official regulations of the Daji Dynasty. After tens of millions of years of accumulation and running-in, it has been extremely complete. Almost every case can find a precedent to see how the ancestors solved it. Just follow the rules and follow the procedures.
These things are naturally more familiar to the Humane Dynasty. Wu Yi will not be self-righteous and think that what he thinks on the spur of the moment can surpass the laws and decrees made by countless elites.
Finally, how to prevent the emergence of new corrupt officials is still that word, etiquette!
Etiquette is not only a seemingly complicated etiquette, but also a punishment. It can even be said that the etiquette here refers to the order between heaven and earth in a macro sense.
"Induce with benevolence and righteousness, restrain with punishment", here is about how to discipline officials, and the final goal is to achieve "those with great virtue will be respected, and those with heavy salary will be favored and honored".
After a long speech, Wu Yi helped Shen Congyue point out the direction to move forward, and Shen Congyue no longer had any doubts about his inner demon body.
