Journey to the West, there are nine golden crows in me

Of course, just having merit is not enough, there must be supporting punishment measures.This punishment did not require Jiang Chen to do it.

The so-called natural law is clear, and the retribution is not good.As the manager of the city of death in vain, if you do well, you will be meritorious, and if you don't do well, you will naturally be punished.

This punishment is sent by the way of heaven, there is no way to avoid it, you can only resist it, and it will only affect your cultivation at first, if you don't know how to repent, it will even evolve into a punishment of heaven and destroy it in the end.

Supervised by heaven, with clear rewards and punishments, coupled with Jiang Chen's powerful background, the disciples of the Shangqing Palace cannot be influenced by outsiders. Although this cannot guarantee that they will not make mistakes [-]%, it can also eliminate the possibility of them making mistakes to the greatest extent. .

Now it seems that Jiang Chen's method is still possible, at least for their own way, they managed the city of death well.

As for whether they will change in the future, Jiang Chen can't guarantee that, the only thing he can do is try to avoid this possibility from happening.

The management personnel of the city of death are changed every thousand years. This is Jiang Chen's long-term plan. They should not be allowed to work for too long, so as not to change their mentality.

Doing this is enough to ensure that even if there is a problem with the management personnel of the city of vain death in one session, then there will be a chance to make things right if they are replaced in the next session.

As for the problems with the management personnel of the City of Death for several consecutive years, then this is not a problem with the system, but a problem with the Shangqing Palace, which needs to be cleaned up in time.

"Normally, as long as I don't die and my mentality doesn't change, the big policy won't go wrong."

Jiang Chen knew that there was another way to stop the corruption of people's hearts, and that was to keep getting stronger.As long as he is strong enough and does not change his original intention, his will can be carried out all the time. Even if the people below are dissatisfied, they will not dare to obey the law, and at most they will do something within the rules.

In this way, although there are minor problems, the general policy will not be shaken, and the overall situation is still good and positive.

This method was not the first that Jiang Chen thought of. The first person who thought of this method and did it was Daozu Hongjun.The old man joined the Dao directly, replaced the heart of heaven with his own heart, not to mention good and evil for the Dao of Heaven, and his strength has become the strongest in the prehistoric world, bar none!

Because Daozu is strong enough, Daozu's will has been carried out and has not wavered so far.Taoism is still the righteous way, and it is its mission to save the world and save people, and people's hearts have not fallen.

Looking at the entire prehistoric world, who among Taoists would dare to do bad things blatantly?None, including those with great supernatural powers, dare not do bad things blatantly.At most, they are secretly doing some shady things, and they dare not expose them.

This is the embodiment of the Dao ancestor's will being implemented. Immortals and ordinary people are different, and ordinary people must not be slaughtered. Immortals can be at ease, but they must not build on the suffering of others.

As long as the Dao ancestor does not fall, the Xuanmen immortal way will always be the right way.

As long as a person is strong enough, what can he do?Daozu used himself as an example to tell everyone in Honghuang that as long as he is strong enough, his rules are the rules of the whole Honghuang, and his view of good and evil is the view of good and evil in the way of heaven.

It is not an exaggeration to say that today's concepts of good and evil emerged only after being influenced by Taoist ancestors.Before the Taoist ancestor became enlightened, there was no good or evil in the world, only strong and weak. The strong are always right, and the weak are always wrong!
The so-called Bude is in the world, that is the case.

……

"In this kind of world where the power of an individual can destroy the world, a powerful existence has too much influence on the world, and can even control the direction of the world."

Jiang Chen knew very well that no matter how perfect the policy is, as long as people implement it, problems will arise.

After all, policies don't speak, but people do.And if you want to prevent your policies from being misinterpreted, the best way is not to formulate a complete set of punishment measures, but to make yourself stronger.

As long as you are strong enough, your words are the absolute truth, no one dares to violate them, and no one dares to be a demon.

"Get stronger!"

With a sigh, Jiang Chen's figure disappeared in place, and came to the city lord's mansion of the dead city.

There is a city lord's mansion in the city of death in vain. This is Jiang Chen's mansion, which is similar to a human palace.

Although Jiang Chen was not in the City of Death all year round, the City Lord's Mansion was not deserted. On the contrary, it was extremely lively. Basically, the disciples of the Shangqing Palace worked here to deal with all the affairs of the City of Death.

……

Inside the city lord's mansion, in a certain hall, several figures in black official robes were concentrating on looking at the copy in their hands.

This copy is also a treasure. It was obtained from the Jiang family of the human race. Its function is similar to that of later generations of computers. The information gathered from the various streets, squares, and yamen in the city of Wushi will all be classified and appear in this copy.

Otherwise, the dead city is so big, and there are so many problems that need to be summarized every day. If you read the documents one by one, there is not enough time to read these documents, and there is no time to deal with official business.

"Meet the ancestor!"

Jiang Chen's figure suddenly appeared in the hall, really startling everyone, but immediately after recognizing who it was, they knelt down excitedly and bowed to Jiang Chen.

Judging from their ability to recognize Jiang Chen's identity at a glance, they have a long relationship with Jiang Chen, and they should have met Jiang Chen.

In fact, although Jiang Chen is the patriarch of Shangqing Palace, not many disciples in Shangqing Palace have met him.

Because he was away all year round, he was rarely in the Shangqing Palace, and even if he went back once in a while, he would either leave in a hurry, or retreat in the Shangqing Palace, and rarely communicate with his disciples.

It can be said that the Shangqing Palace is becoming more and more prosperous and famous, all thanks to Zhang Daoling.It was he who opened the gates of the monastery widely, preached to the world, and preached lavishly, that's why there are tens of thousands of disciples in the Qing Palace.

Regarding the Shangqing Palace, Jiang Chen did three things in total. The first thing was to create the Shangqing Palace.The second thing is to accept Zhang Daoling as a disciple.The third thing is to reshape Cangshan Mountain.

The rest, such as how to develop the Shangqing Palace, such as recruiting disciples, such as teaching disciples, are all handled by Zhang Daoling.

In the huge Shangqing Palace, Zhang Daoling was the only disciple of Jiang Chen, and the rest of the disciples were all taught by Zhang Daoling, either his apprentices or his disciples and grandchildren.

It can be seen how irresponsible Jiang Chen is!

Now these disciples actually know Jiang Chen, which means that they were Zhang Daoling's disciples before they were alive, and they were also the first batch. They had paid homage to Jiang Chen with Zhang Daoling back then. This is the unique benefit of the first batch of disciples.

If it was the second batch of disciples, they might not have seen Jiang Chen.

As for why they were alive, it was naturally because they were already dead.Zhang Daoling's first batch of disciples, to be honest, most of them were of poor aptitude, while those with good aptitude were rare.

The reason is very simple. Before joining the Shangqing Palace, Zhang Daoling was only a casual cultivator, not as good as those famous sects. Naturally, he could not receive any good disciples, but anyone who had a good eye would be recruited under the sect, which led to the qualification of this group of disciples. Low, it is difficult to achieve any big achievements in the future.

But from the second batch of disciples, it was different.Zhang Daoling prospered and became Jiang Chen's disciple and the grandson of the sage of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the standard for accepting apprentices has come up, those with poor qualifications will not be accepted; those with low talents will not be accepted.

Such polarization has created two situations. After hundreds of years, most of the second batch of disciples have achieved immortality and are able to live freely in the world.However, because of the limited qualifications of the first batch of disciples, many of them had exhausted their lifespan, and their souls returned to the underworld.

However, although the aptitude and talent of this group of disciples are not good, they are lucky. They are the first batch of disciples of Zhang Daoling, and they share weal and woe, so how could they have no feelings?

In addition, they are the first batch of disciples of the Shangqing Palace, if they are completely annihilated, the saint's face will not be good.

Therefore, based on various considerations, Zhang Daoling specially asked Jiang Chen for a favor for them, asking Jiang Chen to give them another chance.

After all, he is the only disciple, so he still has to give him some face.So, Jiang Chen thought about it and gave them two choices.

The first is to let them reincarnate with Shangqing Daoyun, so as to ensure that after their reincarnation, their new bodies will have the talent to become immortals.At that time, the disciples of the Shangqing Palace will come forward to bring them back one by one and return to the immortal way.

In this way, when they are successful in cultivation, they will be able to restore their past life memories.

Basically, all the great sects of immortality make such arrangements for disciples who cannot become immortals.After all, if the disciples are passed down from generation to generation, who can guarantee that every disciple can become a fairy?
And the reincarnation of reincarnation gave them a guarantee, if this life is not good, then come back in the next life, if the next life is not good, then the next life...

Anyway, Zongmen will not give up on you, and will make you immortal sooner or later.

This is the benefit of joining the Great Sect. It not only protects you for a lifetime, but also protects you for lifetimes. If it were you, would you refuse to join the Great Sect?
Jiang Chen gave those disciples who died, the second choice was to switch to the divine way and join the Yinshen system.

At that time, Jiang Chen happened to be carrying out the pilot reform of the City God System within the scope of the Shangqing Palace, and he had not found suitable personnel.And there is no doubt that these dead disciples of the Shangqing Palace can be said to be the best candidates.

At that time, the choice Jiang Chen gave them was that some would stay in the world as city gods to protect one side, and some would go to the City of Death to manage the ghosts.

Whether to reincarnate in reincarnation or to enter the way of God, this is a question.In the end, among those disciples, a small number chose to reincarnate and continue to walk the way of immortality.Most of the disciples chose to stay and switch to the divine way.

They have given up on themselves, thinking that their aptitude is just like this, that if they cannot become immortals in this life, they will not be able to become immortals in the next life.That being the case, it is better to switch to Shinto and fight.

Anyway, as the patriarch, there is no need to cheat them.Of course, wouldn't it be better if you cheated them?Just for the sake of his own face, the Patriarch will give them a lot of compensation afterwards!
In the prehistoric times, it was contemptible for disciples to kill their masters, and vice versa, it was equally contemptible for masters not to treat disciples as human beings.

……

"Get up!" Jiang Chen waved his hands to get them up, and then asked with concern: "How are you doing here, have you encountered any trouble?"

"Patriarch, we are fine here!"

"As for the trouble, there is an expert from the underworld to take care of us, no force dares to come over and provoke us without opening their eyes!"

The five disciples in the hall looked at each other, and finally the oldest one came forward and reported back to Jiang Chen.

The Shangqing Palace is only a newborn force, even if it bears the title of a sage of the Shangqing, it is difficult to conceal its humble nature.In this case, others don't say it, but they still look down on it in their hearts.

But that's the case, the dead city occupies such a precious place, blocking the passage between the human world and the nether world, and no other forces come to fight for it. Why do you think it is because of the sages, or because Jiang Chen's reputation is too great?

neither!
The main reason is that the city of death in vain is hung under the name of the underworld.Mingshi is a force created by Emperor Fengdu, and it is also the strongest force in the Netherworld today.Even though Emperor Fengdu had fallen, there were still two quasi-sages in charge of the Underworld Division.

This kind of strength is enough to frighten all parties. The City of Dead Dead is under the guidance of Ming Si underground and Jiang Chen on the ground, so naturally no one dares to provoke it.

One of the two remaining quasi-sages of the Underworld Division was born in the human race, and was also related to the Jiang family. From this, we can see the strength of the Underworld Division's support for the City of Death.

Jiang Chen knew about all these situations, but he still asked this question, the main purpose of which was to express his concern for the City of Death.In other words, it was to let these five disciples feel his concern for the City of Death.

People's hearts are changeable, these disciples are good now, but in the future, who can guarantee that they will not change?
If they saw that Jiang Chen hadn't come to the city of vain all year round, they thought that Jiang Chen didn't care about the city of vain, so they put it in management, and finally caused a big mess, wouldn't they be looking for trouble for Jiang Chen?
Therefore, from time to time, Jiang Chen expresses his concern for the city of the dead, which can serve as a warning to them, telling them that I still care about the city of the dead, and you don't mess around.

With a plan in mind, these disciples will have scruples in their hearts when they do things in the future, and they will not dare to adjust the bottom line easily.

"Well, Mingsi's main job now is the elders of our clan. With him around, the city of Wushi will not encounter any problems. But it is better to rely on yourself than relying on people and the sky. You still need to practice well and strive to take up the task of protecting Wushi as soon as possible. The burden of the city."

After the warning, Jiang Chen started to draw big cakes.If you want your subordinates to follow you and do a good job, it is not enough to let them fear you, but also to let them see a bright future.

Jiang Chen is assuring them now that as long as the city of the dead is governed, their future will definitely be indispensable in the future.

"Thank you Patriarch!"

"We will definitely manage the city of the dead, and we will never let it go into chaos."

The five people heard Jiang Chen's hint, and expressed their heartfelt excitement excitedly.

Next, Jiang Chen first encouraged the five people well, then asked them about the situation in the city of Wushi, and finally asked them to take them around the city of Wushi.

But at this time, the accident happened in vain.
