Chapter 937 We don’t understand, and we don’t dare to ask.

After confirming the attitude of the Yao people, Changtian opened the coordinate connection between Feilai Peak and [Nanzhan Buzhou].

However, because the two places are too far apart and need to cross the border, the ultra-long-distance portal also has a lot of risks. It is even more difficult to maintain it for a long time. It is unknown when it will collapse and be damaged.

Therefore, the monks need to transit through [Western Paradise] to get here, but the Buddhist gods do not have to pay any fees.

The Emperor of the Sun Palace will take charge of the Buddhist Kingdom as usual.

What Changtian needs to do is to maintain the relationship with Mount Sumeru, get support from Medicine Buddha, and negotiate with external gods.

He will try to find civilizations that are about to be destroyed, or worlds that are in war.

After confirmation, Zengtian will go to the local area to save the dead, gain the power of faith, and convert the local [Xili Duo] and [Jiu Pantu] to Buddhism, becoming the population and Buddhist soldiers of Nanzhan Continent.

This is the division of labor in Nanzhan Continent, with the emperor growing up outside and the Son of Heaven in the Sun Palace taking charge inside.

Nanzhanbuzhou is a complete world, far larger than the ordinary divine kingdom, with hundreds of millions of people, and a stable social order and cultural tradition. It is not easy to manage this Buddhist country well.

Soon after, the first group of monks came out of Feilai Peak and walked all the way from the desert to Shacheng, where they had their first contact with the Yao people.

Zeng Tian observed secretly.

The robes worn by the monks, the unique leggings and cloth shoes on their feet, the rosary beads hanging in their hands and necks, and their monastic postures with their hands folded in bows and chanting Buddhist verses all aroused imitation by local people.

Shacheng people soon became popular in wearing rosary beads. Most of them wrapped them in their hands. There were various types of wooden beads, glass and glazed beads, and gemstone beads. After they played with rosary beads, they matched them with monk's robes.

It's just that the monk's robe was improved by the people of Shacheng and turned into a different look. The collars and cuffs of the large gray monk's robes are decorated with various striped embroideries. Gradually, people are keen on printing on monks' robes.

You can see people of all ethnic groups wearing monk's robes and jackets everywhere on the streets of Shacheng. On their backs are printed Buddhist verses such as "My Buddha is compassionate", "Form is empty" or "All dharmas have no self, and their cessation is bliss". Or there are various forms of Buddha statues, and some even have scriptures printed all over the monks' robes.

People wear all kinds of monk robes, some with crystal glasses and colorfully dyed hair. This has become a trendy symbol of a new culture, and Shacheng people enjoy it endlessly.

Slimold sighed: "The residents of Shacheng really like the culture of Nanzhan Buzhou."

Zeng Tian agreed.

He noticed that Nanzhan tribe was also continuously influenced by Yao culture.

The monks originally lived a peaceful and slow life, but after arriving here, after spending the initial period of curiosity and lectures, they became very interested in learning and understanding various things about the Yao civilization.

Their first interest was in libraries.

There are a large collection of books in the Shacheng Library. Those books are open to everyone for free. They include history, mythology, theology, mathematics, technology, language, biology, elemental science, magic talismanology... there are many, many types, and a lot of precious knowledge is available to everyone. A citizen unfolds.

There were many ragged people inside, sitting on the floor reading books, but the library administrator did not expel them.

This scene surprised Zhang Zengtian: "Senior Yao Shen is really amazing."

Generally speaking, the rulers of civilization will set limits and block knowledge.

This is to facilitate the management of the people.

The more knowledge you have, the more you will understand the cold reality of how the world works. A large number of civilians are the bottom gear in the operation of the Kingdom of God. They will be fixed in their positions throughout their lives, with almost no hope of change.

Just like an architect building a house, he will tamp down the foundation and will not allow the stones or wood in the foundation to move up and become walls or even pillars, let alone a high-rise roof.

Without a large number of civilians with stable order, it would be difficult for any divine country or civilization to maintain long-term stability.

The promotion path set by the gods in the world is knowledge.

Only by mastering knowledge can people understand the way the world works through this entry point, so as to change it in the possible direction.

Without knowledge, even if a person's life is not good, he will not understand why this happens and how to change his destiny.

He would just sigh and say. What can be done? There's nothing you can do about it these days.

Knowledge can help civilians understand the relationship between individual destiny and the order of the Kingdom of God, help them find the direction they can move forward, and try their best to change their destiny, even if it is just a little better.

But even so, there are still very few people who get what they want in the end.

A large number of frustrated people who have mastered knowledge will join forces intentionally or unintentionally to influence the current order through various methods. They will affect a large number of civilians, causing turmoil and chaos throughout the Kingdom of God.

The most troublesome thing is that even if this group of people are pacified or executed, there will be others who come after them.

When the growth genius took over [Nanzhan Buzhou], he had great ambitions and wanted to break out of this secular cycle.

Together with the Emperor Sun Palace, he encouraged the mass circulation of books and the construction of academies and monastic colleges in various places. He advocated that all people should improve various kinds of knowledge, mainly Buddhism, in order to promote the progress of civilization throughout the southern continent and expand external influence.

Thirty years after this was tried, it resulted in continued chaos in Nanzhan Province and uprisings and riots in various places.

The monks and the people complained bitterly about the oppression and plundering of everyone by the monasteries and monasteries, their inaction and brutal violence in response to natural and man-made disasters. Temples spent considerable resources and energy on suppressing frequent rebellions and revolts.

Secular conflicts are becoming more and more acute, with all parties confronting and hostile to each other, and the order of the Buddhist kingdom is further leaning towards chaos.

Changtian worked hard for this, but got such a result, he couldn't help but feel confused and lost.

He asked the Emperor of the Sun Palace: "It is not wrong for monks and people to pursue a better life and status and to expose injustice and oppression. It is also not wrong for temples in various places to maintain secular order and implement my orders and will..."

"Am I wrong to do this?"

The Emperor of the Sun Palace said softly: "Master Tian Wangzun, you are not wrong. This matter may be complex or complicated. After all, everyone in the world is in charge of the affairs of the world, but it may be simple or simple, it just depends on which side you are on. As long as you determine your position, then Just execute it according to your position, there is no perfect method in the world."

In the end, Changtian didn't have the courage to continue changing. He returned to the previous traditions and restored the Buddhist system in which the previously established temples had full jurisdiction over various regions. After several years of turmoil, Nanzhan Buzhou gradually returned to peace.

Knowledge was blocked again, and the monks returned to their simple lives.

The only thing that Changtian can do is to come regularly to talk to them about Buddhism and explain part of his knowledge.

Although he didn't know what it meant.

Is it guilt compensation, or is it just a bit of fantasy?

He doesn't know.

…

The current social situation of the Yao people reminds Changtian of his own disastrous past.

He is the master of Nanzhan Buzhou, but there are things he cannot do.

He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Slimold, isn't Senior Yao Shen afraid that this will make it difficult to govern the world? Or is there any special method?"

The god of Yao nationality held a cane with both hands and looked at the library in front: "I was also worried about this. Once people master knowledge, they will start to question it. From the perspective of a ruler, it is very difficult to manage. At that time, I also I can’t imagine how to resolve this irreducible contradiction.”

"However, Lord Yao never cares about this. He only wants the Yao people to live a better life."

Slemud laughed: "Lord Yao God told us one thing about God, treat every Yao people well, don't think too much. They are all children of the Yao people, no matter they stay at home and live in vain, or they are deviant, Or coveting family property, or running away from home, are all normal things, because different people have different ideas."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Among the Yao people, there are not only those who are trying to find and track Lord Yao, but also staunch atheists, as well as theological scholars who question the existence of Lord Yao. There are quite a few of them..."

Zeng Tian was shocked: "Outrageous..."

"This is the Yao tribe." The other party's shoulders shook slightly, and he couldn't help laughing: "Lord Yao Shen encouraged them, thinking that the field of gods is also a promising research direction... We don't understand either, and we don't dare to ask."

"And now, I slowly understand."

The smile on the corner of Sremod's mouth gradually disappeared: "Lord Yaoshen wants to go in another direction, so that everyone can receive a good enough education, obtain basic material security, let them know the basis and position of their existence, and transform this Everything is clearly told to them so that they will no longer be easily confused and deceived, nor will they be easily instigated and deceived, and will no longer become the victims of some ambitious people's struggle for power."

"It has been proven in the past that common people can be ruled better if they remain stupid. Now what Yao Shen has to do is to make them smart enough and master the knowledge, then they don't need to be ruled and governed, they know what they should be do what."

"This is what the Yao people are trying to do. Of course this is a very difficult road, but I am deeply honored to be a part of it."

Zhang Changtian was excited when he heard it: "This... is really amazing."

Suddenly, he felt a sense of shame in his heart.

It turns out that on this road, seniors like Yao Shen have been digging mountains and building bridges for a long time.

I am still too weak.

"You're already great."

Slemud said softly: "Originally, I thought that Buddhist countries tend to be conservative and would be difficult to accept any transformation and appropriation of Buddhist culture from the outside world."

"But the monks and people in Nanzhan Buzhou have shown an extremely open and tolerant attitude. They may not be as knowledgeable as the Yao people, but they have a deep understanding of Buddhism and can integrate it with simple experiences in life. As one body, that kind of happy-go-lucky and contented attitude towards life is really wonderful.”

“Without an open and tolerant Buddhist god, there would be no such followers.”

"Shacheng is really lucky to be able to communicate with Nanzhan Buzhou on a secular level this time." The other party nodded.

Zhang Changtian held the sword with one hand and waved the other hand: "To be honest, I didn't do much. It's the Emperor Sun Palace who manages the business well."

"You are humble."

Slemod said seriously: "The civilization of the Kingdom of God is the embodiment of the temperament and character of a god, just like the diverse tolerance and adventurous spirit of the Yao people, which originated from Lord Yao, and the optimism and acceptance of the people of Nanzhan tribe, Also from your influence.”

After receiving the sincere praise from the Yao gods, Changtian couldn't help but raise his head and chest, and the wisdom sword on his shoulders seemed to be sharper.

In fact, Nanzhan tribe was greatly influenced by the Yao people.

The library is just the beginning. The books inside are written in the languages ​​of various ethnic groups of the Yao people, but there are also specially illustrated versions considering the borrowers who are illiterate or from foreign civilizations. Although the amount of information is much less, it is enough to understand the core key knowledge.

The monks and the people enjoyed it very much and never wanted to leave.

They spontaneously began to learn Yao characters and languages. With the help of local special props [Xingnao Mint] and [Blast Furnace Mead], many of them quickly mastered the basic local vocabulary.

Soon, the monks were not only able to independently read "Shachengdi Daily" and "Ben Daily" to learn about the latest developments in other worlds, but they were also obsessed with the Yao people's currently popular Star Vision.

You only need to hold the prop [Wind Mother] to project images in the air, and see various lifelike sound and picture programs. The monks and the people are simply irresistible.

There are two programs they like to watch. The first is the popular drama series "Crystal Empire" of the Yao people, which tells the story of the magnificent and difficult living conditions of the gods from the perspective of Bo God, the former enemy of the Yao people.

The second is a program called "Qitang Jialan", which is a program produced by the Abyss monks. Monks of the Abyss uses a sitcom approach to show the daily life of the monks, and it has also been loved by a large number of viewers.

The monks and the people are extremely obsessed with Star TV, and these two programs are never released.

"As expected of the famous Yao tribe, it would be great if our Nanzhan tribe also had something like this."

"With star vision, the lectures and debates of many eminent monks can be seen by everyone, and the natural principles of various worlds can be seen... We can also make programs! That's right!"

"But since we can come to the Yao world, we should have a good relationship between King Tianzun and Lord Yao, right? Let's pray together and see if we can ask King Tianzun?"

"Okay, everyone unite!"

"Save the Suffering King Tianzun, your followers sincerely request, please allow Star TV to enter Nanzhan Buzhou, so that we can produce programs on Nanzhan Buzhou, and also facilitate the spread of Buddhism and your beliefs..."

…

Zengtiantian is also very excited.

The power of star vision is astonishing, and its influence on the world far exceeds any wonder known to Him.

He asked Slimud: "I wonder if it is possible to bring star vision into Nanzhan Continent? This is really a good communication tool."

Slimod looked embarrassed: "Star vision is a specialty of the Yao civilization. It requires the deployment of Yao satellites, the construction of a ripple body, and the use of the wind mother to receive it. I have no power in this area and can only wait for Lord Yao to return. , please propose it to Lord Yao."

Changtian nodded.

Ten years passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period, a large number of monks entered Shacheng to study and live, and some Yao people also entered Nanzhan tribe. The peaceful and slow-paced life of the monks and the fast-paced and competitive character of the Yao people are complementary and balanced to a certain extent, and both parties benefit a lot.

The only thing that has made little progress is the four stars.

So far, although Changtian has made many attempts to cooperate, he still doesn't know what it likes about him.

Every time he thought about this, the ferocious surface of the sun and that weird smile would appear in his mind, which made him feel inexplicably terrifying.

One day, Slemud suddenly told him: "We are finally sure that the four stars like your sword."

"Sword?"

Zhang Changtian looked at the sword he was holding in one hand: "You mean, this sword of wisdom?"

"Yes."

The other party said: "The four stars have very serious troubles, and they hope to use your sword of wisdom to cut off their troubles. When it first saw you, it noticed this sword, so it wanted to make friends with you and borrow your sword." "

"It's okay, just take it and use it." Zhang Zengtian replied generously: "But this is only temporary. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will breed again soon. Huijian needs to condense its own wisdom in order to contain the troubles with wisdom."

He was secretly relieved, as long as he wasn't targeted.

Not long after borrowing the sword.

Slimud suddenly turned back.

With a smile on his face, He said: "Master Yao oracle, please come with me."

Zhang Changtian quickly adjusted his armor and took a deep breath: "Please lead the way."
