Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

The floating island of Ringer’s family is in a very good location, high in height, and in the center of the city. Standing on the observation platform at the top of the floating island, you can have a panoramic view of the entire imperial capital. If the weather is fine, you can see the arc-shaped horizon. On the border of the city, there are large manors.

It was the first time for Suzanne to stand on this platform. It was a bit funny to say that she was able to come here because of the light of Lin Shu.

Grand Duke Linge set up a flower table on this small platform, and Suzanne sat beside him making tea, while Lin Shu, Ao Yun, and Grand Duke Linge sat around the small flower table, chatting without saying a word. While chatting, Suzanne felt a little dissatisfied, so let's talk about business.

"Master Lin, what do you think of the scenery of the imperial capital?"

Lin Shu smiled and waved his hands: "I haven't been to many cities, so I'm afraid it's biased to make an evaluation."

"There is no bias, it's just a different point of view."

"That's true. To be honest, in my impression, the scenery of the imperial capital is probably unmatched in a three-dimensional city like this. However, I still like cities on the ground. It may be because I don't have wings, so the wings Man is born to belong to the sky."

"Yes, so Yiren has a wild temper, always eager for more space."

Lin Shu nodded and said: "I have seen races living underground. They tend to maintain their current living conditions and are less adventurous. The races on the surface are more stable. They always leave a way out when they do things. Wing people , seems to be more unrestrained, but at the same time, it also lacks that kind of stability and persistence."

"Does Geography Determine Racial Character?"

"Perhaps, perhaps, genes determine racial character."

Grand Duke Linge thought for a while.Nodding with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, this is really the case, so what advice does Master Lin have for us Yiren?"

Lin Shu nodded, and said seriously: "If you look at the living area, from the underground race to the winged people, it seems that this is a continuously rising ladder, and the winged people, oh, and the dragon race are at the top. ..”

"Lin Shu, you have forgotten the spirit, they are the top ones."

Lin Shu smiled: "I'm sorry Ao Yun. Their number is too small. Reproduction...uh, it's still a big problem."

"Sister Neilaya will be upset!"

"No, she's being generous."

Grand Duke Linge listened carefully to the exchange between Lin Shu and Ao Yun, from here.He can understand many things.

Lin Shu turned his head.Continue to look at Ringer and said: "Actually, what I want to say is that this is just an appearance. Even if the Winged People and the Dragon Clan stand at the top of this ladder, it does not mean that the Winged People and the Dragon Clan are naturally superior. In fact In fact, I say this not only because our Taoism advocates the equality of all beings."

"Isn't that the reason?" Grand Duke Linge asked with a smile.

"No, you are mistaken about this cause and effect. It is because our Taoist sect has fully realized that all living beings are originally equal and must be equal, so we have this sect rule."

"Oh? Is it because of racial diversity?"

"Grand Duke Ringer, the world is a system, and you must agree with this."

"Yes, a system."

"That's right, and this huge system is constructed by many subsystems, just like this huge floating island, which also contains many subsystems, a small magic circuit may not be important, but when this small After the small magic circuit is destroyed, maybe this subsystem collapses, and then the avalanche effect begins. So, when we exterminate the mosquitoes on a planet, maybe the entire ecology of the planet will collapse. It is not alarmist, do you think Woolen cloth?"

After Lin Shu finished speaking, he picked up the tea brought by Susanna, frowned slightly after taking a sip, Susanna sighed in disappointment, Ao Yun looked at Susanna with a funny face, compared with Lan Yi, Susanna's tea was actually It's not bad, Lin Shu is just not used to it, this little secret seems to be known to all the women around Lin Shu except Susanna.

Grand Duke Linge thought for a while, Lin Shu's statement was not difficult to understand, this view had appeared long ago, and the Yiren Empire also had believers of this concept, but today when this statement came out of Lin Shu's mouth, Grand Duke Linge not only It is necessary to consider the correctness of this concept, but also to consider the consequences of not agreeing with this concept. Sometimes, the truth needs strength to prove it.

"Sect Leader Lin means that Yiren must follow this rule?"

Lin put down the cup lightly, looked at Ringer playfully and said, "If this kind of rule is the truth, why is Yiren unwilling to abide by it?"

"But...whether this rule is the truth is not conclusive."

Lin Shu shook his hand: "No, you are the ones who have not come to a conclusion. Our Taoist sect already has a conclusion, isn't it already written in the sect rules!"

Grand Duke Linge looked at the smiling Lin Shu, and quickly thought about his countermeasures.

"Master Lin is saying that this is the truth."

"It must be the truth. Of course, I don't mean to force you to believe it."

Seeing that Grand Duke Linge was silent, Ao Yun suddenly interjected: "Do the Dragon Clan of the Holy Dragon Empire believe this truth?"

"Of course I do. Otherwise, why would the Holy Dragon Empire implement a racial integration policy?"

"Then, in terms of individuals alone, who is stronger, the dragon clan or the winged people."

Lin Shu smiled. The answer to this question is so obvious that Lin Shu doesn't have to answer it. This question should be answered by Grand Duke Linge himself.

Instead, Lin Shu looked at Ao Yun: "If we only talk about individuals, is the dragon clan stronger or the spirit stronger?"

"Of course the spirit is stronger. In fact, gods or spirits basically don't have a sense of racial superiority."

"Haha... This question is a bit complicated."

Grand Duke Linge looked at Lin Shu and Ao Yun. He knew that both Lin Shu and Ao Yun realized that his so-called racial equality was just a statement. Deep down in his heart, Grand Duke Linge was still a supporter of the theory of racial superiority. The reason why he will lead a revolution of racial equality is to gain greater power and continue the glory of Yiren. Racial equality is only a means rather than an end.

However, Lin Shu didn't seem to like this much, so he clearly pointed out the gap between Grand Duke Linge's ideology and the essence of Taoist cognition. If Grand Duke Linge wants to gain the support of Taoism, he must Bridging this essential gap, otherwise, Lin Shu probably has other options.

"I will seriously consider this issue." Grand Duke Linge did not lie, but honestly expressed his thoughts. It is too difficult to lie in front of people like Lin Shu and Ao Yun. Grand Duke Linge does not want to Take a risk.

Lin Shu nodded, as if he was not in a hurry or even cared about it, which made Grand Duke Linge more certain that Lin Shu must have an alternative plan in his heart, and the Linge family is not the only choice for Xuanmen .

"Master Lin, regarding the matter of borrowing from West Kunlun, I wonder how Master Lin is thinking about it?"

Suzanne sighed slightly when she heard her grandfather suddenly change the subject. She also understood that the topic just now was Lin Shu's position and positioning of the Ringer family. However, her grandfather seemed not ready yet, maybe It is also a way to temporarily put this big problem on hold.

"In principle, there is no problem, but it requires some price, otherwise I have no way to convince the people of Tianchi Palace."

"Isn't Tianchi Palace subordinate to Xuanmen?"

Lin Shu shrugged: "Protecting the interests of the subordinates and respecting the ideas of the subordinates is also my duty as the head of the sect. The power must be in line with the duty, right?"

Grand Duke Linge was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, many people in positions of authority seem to have forgotten this important principle, so what price does Master Lin think we should pay to gain the approval of everyone in Tianchi Palace?"

"The conflict between Tianchi Palace and Yiren is very profound. However, this is a conflict between our ancestors. I naturally have a negative opinion on whether it should continue. However, emotional factors must also be respected. Therefore, smooth these conflicts." Someone needs to make a gesture first, and a trade might be a good start."

"You're right."

"What Tianchi Palace needs most is metal, the reason why Grand Duke Linger must know, and now the price of metal is rising crazily."

"I see, how about 500 million tons of primary refined active metals?"

"Hehe... The Ringer family is really a big family! This kind of generosity is really enviable."

"No way, we are different from Xuanmen. We are keen on secular power, so we will reserve a lot of resources. Active metal is also one of them, and the Ringer family has a vast territory."

Lin Shu nodded: "Yes, the Yiren Empire has a wider territory, so I fully understand Grand Duke Linge's thoughts and concerns."

"Thank you very much for your understanding. I believe that changes will not happen suddenly, but please trust us, we will continue to move forward."

Lin Shu smiled. Grand Duke Linge is very smart. He is exchanging hope for the support of Taoism. In fact, as Grand Duke Linge said, if there is one person who jumps out now, he can make the policy of racial equality in the future. Lin Shu must have scoffed at the promotion and implementation of the entire Yiren Empire. On the contrary, Grand Duke Linge's promise was very pragmatic.

"Grand Duke Ringer, I have to admit that your statement is very convincing, at least now I have no way to overturn your statement."

Ao Yun curled her lips and said: "The conspiracy can only succeed for a while, our lives are very long."

Grand Duke Linge smiled gracefully, nodded in agreement, but was secretly vigilant in his heart. These two people are really too difficult to deal with. He must not deceive or perfunctory. The consequences must be very serious, unless you have the power to resist or even defeat Xuanmen.

But, can I really master that kind of power?

Lin Shu now possesses this kind of seemingly absolute power, but he abandons the secular power like a shoe, why?Or, when I have mastered that kind of power, will this kind of thought also appear?

For a while, Grand Duke Ringe was a little distracted. (To be continued..)
