At the general altar of the Moyi sect, more than 20 elders gathered in the hall and were discussing the alliance with the Yuqing sect. Indeed, as ye Zan guessed, the elders in the hall did not agree with the alliance, and even the majority did not agree. After all, it was only elder Yu who watched Ye Zan demonstrate those things.
"The limitless Taoist friend has solved this problem for our teaching. Naturally, we should feel his kindness. However, there are countless ways to repay our kindness. We have nothing to say, either giving magic weapons or inheriting them. However, if only because of this, we have to bind the fate of our teaching with others, I can''t agree."
"Yes, although you said that it would be so and so beneficial to form an alliance with the jade qingzong, but... This matter is really debatable."
"Our sect monopolizes this world and controls the access. Where do we need to form an alliance with other foreign sects? If we meet an ally who is good at making trouble, we may be involved. I''m afraid we won''t have a peaceful day in the future."
Although it is said that the Moyi sect guards the transmission array connecting Outlands, no one has taken a step for tens of thousands of years, mainly due to the scruples about night peace. However, many things, once lasting for a long time, are easy to make people form habits, so that the initial reason is not important.
Therefore, even today''s Mo Yi religion does not need to worry about Christmas Eve. But in the hearts of many people up and down, they have regarded this way of life as a principle they need to abide by. Many people feel that the quiet days of tens of thousands of years have come by staying closed. They have inexplicable fear of stepping out of this world.
This is like the comfort zone in the world of science and technology. Once people get used to the surrounding environment, they will resist any impact on the environment.
The people of the Moyi sect have lived in the Moyi region for tens of thousands of years. Although there are markets in foreign regions as exchanges, the exchanges must be very limited. None of them went out, nor did they allow outsiders to go out of the market, making this way of life a solidified comfort area.
For the people of Moyi religion, whether going out of the boundary of Moyi region or relaxing the restrictions on people in foreign regions is a kind of damage to the comfort zone, let alone an alliance with Yuqing sect.
After all, alliance means taking responsibility as an ally. There is no reason to enjoy benefits without being responsible. However, Yuqing sect is the sect of Shenhua domain. Since Mo Yi sect has to bear the responsibility of allies, it must step out of Mo Yi domain. And no one is sure what kind of consequences they will bring to the Mo Yi religion if they go out of the Mo Yi domain.
There is a saying in the secular world, which is called "do more and make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes, and don''t do well". This is the psychology of some so-called "Shoucheng" people. For such people, even if the current situation is not very good, at least it will not be worse. Going out may be better, but it may also be worse. In order not to become worse, we''d rather not be better.
To say such an idea, in fact, it can not be completely said to be wrong, but everyone has everyone''s idea. Some people want to break through and make a difference in the world, even if they are broken to pieces. Just like some people like to ride a roller coaster and like the excitement of ups and downs. But some people just want to maintain the status quo and enjoy it safely. There is no big rise or fall.
Because of this, none of the elders in the hall could really convince anyone. For a time, the debate was very fierce.
While the elders were arguing, ye Zan and Lin Limu, led by elder Yu, also came to the gate of the hall. Standing outside, ye Zan and Lin Limu could hear the noisy quarrel like a vegetable market inside. If you were a mortal, you might only hear the buzzing sound, but ye Zan and Lin Limu, as monks, can still hear what everyone is saying.
"Taoist friends, forgive me. After all, many of them haven''t seen Taoist friends'' demonstration, so it''s difficult to accept this alliance." elder Yu explained to Ye Zan in embarrassment.
After all, putting aside the alliance, ye Zan is still a benefactor of the Moyi religion. In the debate inside, it is because it is difficult for anyone to convince anyone, so that what they say is becoming more and more ugly. Some people directly doubt Ye Zan''s motives and think that ye Zan''s proposal for an alliance is not kind. Some people also think that although Ye Zan solved this problem for them, he didn''t make much effort at all. How can he really treat him as a great benefactor and so on.
"Elder Yu, do you elders discuss things like this every time?" Ye Zan didn''t care what those people said, but he was a little funny about the way this quarrel was discussed.
Elder Yu sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Alas, Taoist friends are laughing. I''ve monopolized this world for tens of thousands of years. Where are so many major events worth arguing about? It''s the first time that these elders have gathered together in these ten thousand years."
Indeed, unlike those forces in Outland, the Moyi sect needs to think about seizing territory and developing the sect all day. After all, the whole Moyi domain is controlled by its Moyi sect. There is no way to grab the territory, and there is no room for development. As a result, they, as senior elders of the sect, have almost nothing to study together.
If there is anything else that can make all the elders gather except the alliance with yuqingzong this time, I''m afraid it can only be achieved by showing up at night.
"I see!" Ye Zan wanted to understand this, nodded clearly, and then asked with teasing: "then, elder Yu, do you think we should go in now or wait outside?"
Elder Yu blushed with shame, nodded and said, "since Taoist friends have arrived, there is no reason to wait outside, not to mention that it is not a way for them to argue like this."
Ye Zan and Lin Limu can hear clearly. What are those people shouting inside? As FA Xiang Daojun, old Yu can naturally listen to every word. Therefore, he did not dare to wait any longer. God knows how ugly those people will say if they continue to argue.
"Yuqingzong''s limitless Taoist friends and great freedom Zonglin Taoist friends have arrived. You haven''t come out to meet them yet. When will you stay?" Yu Changlao shouted angrily to the people in the hall.
Suddenly, the quarrel in the hall was like the TV was suddenly unplugged, and there was no angry sound in an instant. Then the gate of the main hall opened and saw more than 20 elders coming out of it. However, the faces of these elders were more or less ashamed.
After all, he was caught saying bad things behind his back. Even people like Faxiang Daojun can hardly pretend that nothing has happened.
"I''ve seen Wuji Taoist friends!" when the elders went out and saw Ye Zan, they immediately bowed their hands to Ye Zan.
Ye Zan didn''t care about the previous things with the other party. He quickly bowed back to the people and said, "don''t do this, elders. I''ve seen all the elders under yuqingzong Wuji!"
Although Lin Limu was very unhappy with these elders, he didn''t want to break Ye Zan''s business, so he arched his hand and said, "Da zizong Lin Mumu, I''ve seen all the elders."
"You!" elder Yu pointed to the elders. He shook his robe sleeves reluctantly, turned back and said to Ye Zan, "Taoist Wuji and Taoist Lin, please talk with me in the hall."
Under the leadership of elder Yu and surrounded by other elders, ye Zan and Lin Limu went to the main hall. But inside the hall, he had made some arrangements in advance for what he was going to do, making it like a small auditorium. Obviously, the elders who have seen his demonstration also hope that ye Zan can use those demonstrations to convince other elders who have not seen it.
"Taoist friend Wuji, we have arranged this place, but I don''t know if it''s what Taoist friend wants. If there are any deficiencies, Taoist friends can tell us, and we can change it according to the requirements of Taoist friends." elder Yu followed Ye Zan and pointed to the layout in the hall.
Ye Zan was already very satisfied with this. After all, he just gave some demonstrations to more than 20 people, not to hold any large-scale concert, so he nodded and said, "elder Yu doesn''t have to bother. It seems to be enough for me."
"So good, so good!" seeing that ye Zan didn''t find fault, elder Yu also breathed a sigh, turned his head to the elders who followed him and said: "You guys, your previous comments about the alliance between our sect and yuqingzong just came from your own imagination without seeing the demonstration of the limitless Taoist friend. Now, the limitless Taoist friend has arrived. Please sit down and judge after seeing the content of the demonstration of the limitless Taoist friend."
Originally, seeing ye Zan, those elders who didn''t agree with the alliance wanted to ask Ye Zan a few questions. Although they had been caught saying bad things behind their backs, they couldn''t get over it. However, it was related to the "fate" of Moyi religion. Even if they were ashamed, they didn''t want to change their minds.
However, elder Yu''s words blocked all those people''s words.
In fact, people who agree or disagree with the alliance are full of curiosity about the things ye Zan wants to demonstrate. Don''t look at elder Yu. They have seen Ye Zan''s demonstration before, but it''s difficult to let others really understand those things only by their words.
It''s like you say to a person that the water in the cup will scald people. Since he hasn''t been scalded before, how can he understand the concept of scalding. Many things are like this. You say that the railway train travels thousands of miles per hour. How many people can think of what changes this will bring to the life of secular mortals? Maybe, the only thing they can think of is people In the two places, the transportation of goods is faster, but what is the deeper impact?
Only when ye Zan shows everything and lists all the data, can people see the impact here. Why do you say "if you want to be rich, build roads first" ? is road construction just for the convenience of transportation? Does convenient transportation just make people earn more money? What will change when people earn more money? Many such problems cannot be explained by words alone.
Moreover, more importantly, these Faxiang Taoists have been divorced from the secular life for a long time, and they are not the parent officials of the governing party. If they were replaced by a truly capable secular official, they might be able to imagine many effects from the change of traffic. But these Faxiang Taoists, if you ask them to think about the life of secular mortals, I''m afraid they don''t say "why not eat minced meat" It''s hard for them.
"Well, since elder Yu said so, I''ll see how magical those things you admire will be!" someone answered below.
"Yes, I''ve heard so much from you. The more I hear it, the more confused I become. I''d better see how Taoist Wuji tells us." another elder also said.
Soon, more than 20 elders sat down and surrounded the "demonstration platform" in front of the main hall, as if they were listening to crosstalk in a small theater. Perhaps for them, the "boasting" of elder Yu and others can indeed be heard as a cross talk to relieve boredom.
Seeing everyone sitting down, the hall became quiet. Ye Zan stood in front of the "demonstration platform" and took out the projection equipment for demonstration. No setup test is required. After the projection equipment is started, the image is projected into the curtain on the "demonstration platform", and a rail train roars past.
"Elders, the first thing I want to show you is this rail train." Ye Zan asked the picture to pause and pointed to the long steel dragon above.
It''s too easy for ye Zan to demonstrate those things, not to mention that he made more comprehensive preparations for it when he was "closed". It can be said that what ye Zan wants to demonstrate this time will shock not only those who have not seen it, but also elders Yu and several of them who have seen it will have a deeper understanding and understanding of it.
In Ye Zan''s demonstration, although the protagonist is rail transit, the most important thing is the impact of rail transit on the secular world.
Goods can be transported more conveniently, but does it make it easier for those businessmen to make money? Can people travel between the two places faster and go to places they couldn''t go before, just more knowledge? Ye Zan gave answers to these questions in the demonstration.
The whole society is a huge machine. The change of each gear does not only affect the gear itself. Rail transit is such a gear. It seems that it only involves travel and transportation, but in the rotation of this gear, the impact will continue to spread to the whole machine.
Just like the world of science and technology, a steam engine brought the whole world into the industrial revolution and made earth shaking changes in the whole world. Some things may not use a steam engine, but they have to change with the change of relevant factors around them.
