I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 112 - 24: Co-Governance of Humans and Gods (4/5)

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived.

The mountain people, whether early or late, have all started to get busy.

After recovering over this period, Xiao Yue is more or less fully healed.

But he still couldn't leave Feilai Peak, at most he could freely move within the misty area.

Every time Xiao Yue wanted to quietly leave, he would either be disoriented by the mist or be put down again by the sleep bugs hidden within.

It was during this process that Xiao Yue realized the truly terrifying nature of these little insects.

After all the years of cultivation and selection by Li Boyang.

The variety and branches of sleep bugs are so numerous, even he himself probably can't remember them all.

Apart from those with practical value that can be domesticated, there are many more branches considered "failures" by Li Boyang.

These sleep bugs hidden in the mist have formed a natural barrier.

At least for Xiao Yue now, it's an insurmountable barrier.

"Failed to escape again?"

With a mischievous smile, sitting cross-legged beneath the waterfall, Li Jingshu's tone was full of schadenfreude.

"Luckily, this time it wasn't a big rabbit dragging me back."

In frustration, Xiao Yue rolled his eyes and weakly retorted.

"At least I'm better than you. I've been here all this time and have never seen you succeed in meditation even once."

"If that Red-haired Child was willing to teach me, I estimate I would have learned by now..."

Saying these words, a trace of envy flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes imperceptibly.

Having grown up with Li Boyang, Li Jingshu might not understand the value of the "Perception Technique," but Xiao Yue, who has seen much, cannot fail to see it.

Not to mention the advanced version of "Perception Technique."

Even the most basic "Breathing Technique" is a hidden treasure Xiao Yue has never seen.

To be able to possess a powerful physique that rivals the Spirit Monster, just by eating and breathing...

If this were brought to the Great Xia, it would surely overthrow the understanding of countless Great Witches.

Just thinking about Xiao Yue's own situation, one understands.

He went through life-and-death situations and consumed countless precious herbs to finally possess the Hundred Battle Body he has today.

"If you really want to learn it, just ask my younger brother directly!"

"He even taught Xiaogui, there's no way he won't teach you."

Already having seen through Xiao Yue's little thoughts, Li Jingshu's words succeeded in astonishing him once more.

"You're talking about that Human-faced Spider? That's a Spirit Monster!"

In this era, knowledge is more precious than food.

Xiao Yue never thought Li Boyang would spread such knowledge, so he never brought up similar matters on his own.

"What does that matter?"

"My younger brother doesn't care about these things."

After saying this, Li Jingshu smirked deceitfully, then ignored Xiao Yue, and closed her eyes again to search for the feeling of meditation.

Having watched Li Boyang grow up, Li Jingshu knows his character too well.

If she could help him find a willing "experimental subject," he would surely praise her afterwards.

Thinking of this, Li Jingshu couldn't help but feel excited.

Even her originally calming mind returned to a restless state.

...........................

When Xiao Yue saw Li Boyang again, it was in the already ruined bamboo forest.

The bamboo grows extremely fast, during the growing season it might even grow a meter in a day.

Even if it grows slower, a month's time is enough for bamboo to reach around twenty meters.

Considering the fast growth speed of bamboo,

Li Boyang chose this plant as his main experimental material back then.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it's hard to believe such a lush bamboo forest sprang up in just a month."

Walking cautiously in the bamboo forest, Xiao Yue didn't dare make even slightly louder noises.

After all, he hasn't forgotten the scene of being trampled by a horde of "artificial tusked porpoises," shattering all his bones.

"Don't you have bamboo over there?"

Seemingly just noticing Xiao Yue's arrival, a busy Li Boyang raised his head.

At that moment, Li Boyang was carefully cutting down a section of bamboo, meticulously polishing a piece of bamboo node.

Compared to other bamboo in the forest, this bamboo node's talisman was very complete, without any mistakes.

"No, at least I've never seen bamboo carrying 'Witchcraft Curse' like this."

Decisively shaking his head in denial, the more Xiao Yue learns about Li Boyang, the more he admires his deeds.

"Of course, following the local custom, this should be called 'Talisman'..."

Casually picking up a piece of bamboo thrown down by Li Boyang.

Touching the incomprehensible talisman, Xiao Yue murmured.

"Curse' is the secret language communicating the gods, mastered only by witches, an unpassed secret."

"I never thought 'curse' would naturally grow on a plant and really show the effects of a 'curse'."

Pausing slightly at this point, Xiao Yue's tone changed.

"The Mountain God told me that these bamboo were initially just ordinary ones..."

"Through your continuous cultivation and selection, you grew bamboo capable of producing 'curse'."

"If you'd like to accompany me to the Great Xia, I believe you would be the next 'Common Lord'."

Upon hearing this, it was Li Boyang's turn to be slightly surprised and raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't the 'Common Lord' of the Great Xia an inheriting position?"

After pondering the unfamiliar term "inheritance," Xiao Yue quickly grasped its meaning.

Similar situations often occurred during this time, and Xiao Yue was already used to it.

"Inheritance? A very philosophical concept."

"Indeed, most Fang Kingdoms achieve power transfer through 'inheritance.'"

"But the Great Xia is different; their 'Common Lord' is a wise man acknowledged and collectively chosen."

"The 'people' here include gods, witches, and even ordinary ones like myself."

Without waiting for Li Boyang's inquiry, Xiao Yue adeptly continued explaining.

"Because in the Great Xia, the 'Common Lord' represents not only rights but unimaginable responsibility and duty."

"If personal ambition is too strong or one fails the duties of 'Common Lord'..."

"Ancestors will be angry, and gods will personally punish."

Unable to resist, Li Boyang paused his work and developed an interest in the Great Xia's Common Lord.

"Enlightened rule? Or perhaps a representative system?"

"Selecting the Common Lord through representation and letting high gods supervise?"

"This indeed sounds feasible, but can your chosen 'Common Lord' truly achieve fairness?"

"Moreover, are supervising gods truly unbiased?"

In my view, the power of the Common Lord may not so much come from witches or ordinary people, but from those seemingly trouble-avoiding gods."

"Have those gods of the Great Xia formed a disguised 'Elder Council'?"

"Or are your gods genuinely willing to form an 'Elder Council'?"

"What exactly is the basis of this human-god co-governance period?"
