The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2386 Power

Fang Yun sighed and said: "Of course the ancient demon will say that they are not like this, and of course they want to show their good things to outsiders. The internal fighting of the ancient demon clan is no different from the internal fighting of the Shui clan."

"You're talking nonsense! The leader of our Gray Dragon Tribe says that the ancient demon is good at everything, and many dragon tribes also say that the ancient demon is great, and that the ancient demon is better than the dragon tribe. Many water tribe saints also say that the dragon tribe is not good, and they all say that the ancient demon is good. Don't you think so? Are you saying that the senior officials of the Shui Tribe are lying to us? Why do they praise the ancient demon so much? I don’t believe it.”

Fang Yun was stunned and speechless.

Only then did Fang Yun understand the root cause of the matter.

Jiao Nu lived at the end of the Dragon Clan. At that time, the powerful Dragon Clan saints disappeared and died in battle. They had declined for hundreds of years and had long lost the glory of their heyday.

On the contrary, the ancient demon at that time rose like a comet, cooking oil with fierce fire, and reached its peak.

At that time, most of the senior officials of the Aqua Tribe were scared of being beaten and bullied, like boneless fish without backbones.

The pessimism of the upper levels naturally affects the middle levels, and then spreads to the grassroots.

When this negative influence spread throughout the entire Shui Tribe, the situation was over. Even if there was any hope of rising, it was overthrown by everyone's inner fear and envy of the ancient demon.

At the end of the Dragon Clan, many water tribes envied the power of the ancient demons and contacted some of the ancient demon clans who were related by blood.

The most famous one at that time was the Poisonous Dragon Clan, which claimed to be the descendants of the ancient demon blood dragon clan. The entire clan collectively betrayed the Shui Tribe and joined the ancient demon camp. Later, after the rise of the demon barbarians, the Poisonous Dragon Clan switched to the demon barbarians and became known as the roly-poly men of all races.

Fang Yun sighed: "As far as I know, when the Shui tribe fought against the ancient demons, many alien tribes and evil creatures had joined forces to unite the ancient demons to suppress the Shui tribe. The ancient demons were afraid that the evil creatures would be powerful, so they did deceive the Shui tribe and wanted to restore old friendship with the Shui tribe. During that time, the senior officials of the Shui Tribe were deceived by short-term interests and thought that the ancient demon could really help them. In order to resolve the hostility between the two tribes, the ancient demon continued to beautify the ancient demon in the Shui Tribe. Individually powerful, but as a whole, they are not a threat to the ancient demons. On the other hand, the water tribe has been beaten hard, and they have begun to keep a low profile and forge ahead, with the hope of rising. Therefore, the ancient demons immediately turned against each other and joined forces with the ferocious alien tribe to completely exterminate many of the dragon tribes. We have not yet realized this root cause, and still feel that the Shui tribe is incompetent and hopeless, and that the ancient demons represent the most powerful and civilized force in all realms, which leads to the collapse of morale and the disunity of the people. "

Jiao Nu blinked and said, "I don't understand."

"Kneel down!" Fang Yun suddenly became furious, and the power of the seal dragon exploded, as if the Dragon Saint was coming in person.

The dragon girl was so frightened that her body softened and she lay on the ground. Then, there was a strange smell rising from the water and she became incontinent.

"Spare your life! My lord, spare your life! Your Majesty, Lord Xinglong, spare your life!" Snake Girl kowtowed violently in fear.

Fang Yun sighed, and the water surged, lifting the dragon girl up.

"Do you understand now?"

"What?" Jiao Nu was trembling and didn't know why.

"Why do you fear me, and why do you envy the ancient demon? It's not that I or the ancient demon represent truth, civilization, correctness, beauty, and kindness, but that we represent powerful power. Only with powerful power can we safeguard our own interests and be more powerful. If you are wealthy, you can be better in all aspects, and you can get more resources from the world. The resources may be endless, but the resources that each race can obtain are limited. Only by having strong power can we obtain more resources and make you look like the Ancient Demon Clan represents the right representative, represents civilization, and is better than you in every aspect. You only see these good things about them, but you never explore why they are good.”

"It must be because of the power?" Jiao Nu asked.

Fang Yun said: "If you understand the history of each ethnic group, you will find that in the early days of life, each ethnic group had only one purpose, survival, and the basis of survival is to obtain food. Throughout history, in periods of food shortage, any ethnic group The number is very small, but once a certain ethnic group solves the food problem, the population will grow significantly. It is precisely because of the food that more people will be freed to do things other than obtaining food, such as Make pottery and stone weapons, manage fellow tribesmen, paint, sing, Think, learn, educate...etc., etc. You will find that these things you can do after eating are far more beautiful than chasing wild animals naked and getting dirty, bloody and injured, and far better than bleeding. It is better to work hard on the land than to live. It is better to go down and eat the corpses of the same people. Therefore, you should know that the beauty of human beings comes from having strong survival ability and from endless food. Therefore, more beauty and more survival ability come from and. Various resources for similar food.”

Fang Yun paused for a moment and said slowly: "Food is the basis for the survival of life, and resources are the basis for the survival of a group. Without enough strength, how can a group continue those beautiful things? When the Dragon Clan was in its heyday, were your Gray Flood Dragon tribe miserable? ?”

The dragon girl said coquettishly: "The old dragons of the Gray Dragon Tribe often miss the ancient times. At that time, the Gray Dragon Tribe lived a good life. However, they were far inferior to the ancient demons."

"It's very simple. Your strength is not as strong as the ancient demon. Of course, there is also the progress of the times. When Confucius was alive, the power of the human race reached its peak, and he and his disciples competed with the world as a family. However, through comparison, you will find that at that time, The ordinary people of today are not as good as the ordinary people of today. It is better than before. The credit of the living saints or officials from various countries only accounts for a small part. Most of the credit belongs to the accumulation of the human race and the hard work of everyone. The saints of the human race only need to ensure that the human race is orderly and stable, and has the power of the times and development. , with the sages and modern talents, the human race can slowly live a better life." Fang Yun said.

"However, we gray dragons are not strong enough and can never defeat the ancient demon. Why not just take refuge in the ancient demon? In this way, we will at least live a better life than now." Snake Girl said.

Fang Yun seemed to laugh and said: "There are too many ethnic groups that surrendered to the ancient demon. If you are knowledgeable enough, you will find that in the battle with the dragon tribe, one-third of the ethnic groups that surrendered to the ancient demon were extinct. In the battle with the demon barbarians, During the battle, 70% of the tribe under the ancient demon was exterminated. So, I have a question, why is the ancient demon so kind, selfless, and philanthropic as to help your Gray Dragon tribe without expecting anything in return?"

"Because they are good." Jiao Nu replied seriously.

"If they are so good, why do they still attack the Dragon Clan? Why don't they just give all the resources and treasures to your Gray Flood Dragon Tribe, so that your Gray Flood Dragon Tribe can become a peak tribe on par with the ancient monsters, dragon tribes, evil creatures, etc.? If they really have it, what do you think? If you are so good, why do you want to rob the property of other tribes? Why are there still fights within the tribe? Why are there still laws to restrain and punish fellow tribesmen? If they are so good, why are there still races in the ancient demon tribe? Why are there still other races that have a difficult life? Why do the ancient demons and the water tribe compete for more resources in the world? If we have a lot of resources and wealth, wouldn’t it be true if we don’t fight for anything and give it to you?”

Jiao Nu looked at Fang Yun blankly, her eyes were confused and her mind was blank.
