Chapter 720: Regarding rewards, and Seeing Xiao Yu Yu

Regarding rewards, and Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's stance in the Great Qin

First is the reward; thanks again to the book friend "Study Math Every Day."

Readers who look at the number of words I update daily also understand that I write as much as I have, trying to write three thousand words per chapter, writing as much as I can, without a plan to save manuscripts.

Therefore, if I have to add chapters according to rewards, I can't add them; I have no saved manuscripts.

Today I will add one chapter; I can only add one chapter.

After this, please don't reward the Alliance Leader. I am very grateful for everyone's love, but I cannot promise to add chapters. Thank you, and sorry!

Then is Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's stance.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu once said to True Person Qingsong, "I am a spiritual Great Qin person."

How to understand this sentence, we must first determine what "Great Qin person" means.

"Great Qin" actually has two meanings: first, it is a dynasty in Chinese history, representing the Ying regime; in addition, during the Qin Chao, Great Qin was China, and "Great Qin person" was a citizen of the Upper State of China.

I and the reader friends are all modern people of the 21st century.

When we talk about the Qin Chao, it is often the first meaning—the historical Qin Chao, Ying Zheng's empire.

But this protagonist, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu, she is in the Qin Chao!

During the Qin Chao, whether in the Shenzhou or foreign lands, "Qin person" was equated with the Shenzhou of China.

For example, there are three transmigrators here, gathered together, coming from the Qin Chao, Ming Dynasty, and Republic of China respectively.

You ask them what kind of people they are, and they say I am a Ming Dynasty person, a Republic of China person, a Qin person.

Ask them again, "Are you citizens of the Upper State of China?"

They will give you a confused look and then say: Aren't Qin people (Ming Dynasty, Republic of China) citizens of the Upper State of China?

When Seeing Xiao Yu Yu says she is "I am a spiritual Great Qin person," she is clearly not saying "I am a person of the historical Ying court."

She says I am a spiritual Great Qin person, which is saying, "I am a Han person," "I am a person of the Shenzhou of China."

Now that the meaning of "I am a Qin person" is determined, let's talk about Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's stance.

Is she a yellow-skinned person running to the United States, saying she is a person of the City on the Hill?

Let's look at a few more examples: the former Qingsong Daoist boy, the current Wang Sanlang, as well as the Fire Dragon True Person (a disciple of the Great Emperor of the East) who doesn't know where he reincarnated, and one of the souls of the Jade Emperor who was reincarnated.

The Jade Emperor, like the Queen Mother and the Great Emperor of the East, is an innate being, not a human race.

He was reincarnated into the Shenzhou, and it was the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Fire Dragon True Person was originally a person of the Warring States era; now he has committed a killing tribulation and has been reincarnated.

The Great Emperor of the East originally arranged for him to be reincarnated into Tianmen Town.

Assuming Fire Dragon True Person was reincarnated as Wang Sanlang, would he sincerely treat himself as a barbarian?

And there is Wang Sanlang; if one day he awakens his past life memories and says he is a Qin person, would everyone think he is a "shameless defector"?

Isn't Seeing Xiao Yu Yu in the same situation?

She did indeed carry the memories of her past life and was reincarnated into Shaqiu.

From birth, her worldview was already determined.

She also tried her best to support Shaqiu, and did not treat the Shaqiu tribe as a stepping stone just because her worldview was mature and her memories remained.

She tried her best; that she couldn't support the Shaqiu Empire was not because she was ungrateful or anything.

She didn't let Shaqiu down; after being forced to go to Tianmen Town, she could openly and honestly start her new life.

But she wouldn't carry the hatred of Western Shu and Great Qin destroying the Shaqiu dragon vein and insist on destroying Great Qin.

Still the same sentence, her worldview is already mature, and she cannot establish a new worldview of "I am a Sha barbarian, and I must pay everything for the prosperity and strength of the Sha barbarians."

Her new worldview is just "I want to become an immortal, my thoughts must be clear, and I must not violate morality and conscience."

She was a Yu Zaiheng in Western Shu because she encountered demons eating people; she wanted to eliminate the demons, and she even took the river demon to the Demon Flood Palace.

When she eliminated the demons, she immediately hung up her seal and left, without the slightest thought of "I am a Yu Zaiheng of the Shu Kingdom, and I must help Western Shu prosper and be strong."

Now that she has come to Yanmen Pass, she first sees a group of corvée laborers.

The chapter on the Soul-Hooking Envoy indirectly depicts the miserable state of the northern border of the Shenzhou today.

The Soul-Hooking Envoy said directly to Old Song: Nine out of ten of you have already had your names hooked by the King of Hell; you will die sooner or later, and your old mother will cry to death.

And Old Song's hometown is more than a thousand miles away from Yanmen County; theoretically far from the battlefield, it is still so miserable, which shows how miserable the northern border is.

In fact, how miserable the northern border is, readers have already seen when the Jade Emperor chose the good father and mother.

Because the northern border is too miserable and the "Han people" are almost extinct, the Jade Emperor specifically exhorted Taibai Jinxing not to choose the good father and mother from the north; he did not want himself and the Heavenly Court to be stained with the fishy smell of the Hu people.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's behavior of helping Meng Yi at this time is no different from when she was a Yu Zaiheng in Western Shu.

Was she serving the Shu King when she was a Yu Zaiheng in Western Shu to eliminate demons?

Clearly not; she couldn't even remember the Shu King's name.

Was she serving the Ying regime of Xianyang (Empress Dowager Zhao) when she helped Meng Yi deal with the Hu people at the Great Wall?

Clearly not either.

Not only is she not, but immortal masters like Lu Lingzi and Changqing Sanren are not either.

When Seeing Xiao Yu Yu returned with Xiu Ge's head, Lu Lingzi specifically met her in advance to avoid Meng Yi during their conversation.

It was just to discuss rebellious words like "Great Qin will perish."

In summary, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's stance is not loyalty to a certain dynasty or force; she just wants to be a qualified immortal: always harboring kindness and having a heart to save the world.

Just as Lu Lingzi said, there are no gods who are unkind, unrighteous, disloyal, or unfilial in the world.

A qualified immortal is at least a "good person."

As for Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's attitude toward the Ying dynasty, you can look at the later plot.

The title of this volume is "Seeking Immortals and Visiting the Dao, Free and Unfettered," not "Chu-Han Contention" or "Protecting Great Qin." Meeting Meng Yi and dealing with the Hu people is just part of her experience in the red dust as an immortal.

The next volume is probably "Chu-Han Contention."

But I am writing Chu-Han Contention not to write historical stories, but to use this event to tell certain themes and ideas.

If the experience of "Seeking Immortals and Asking the Dao" proves that Seeing Xiao Yu Yu is a qualified immortal.

"Chu-Han Contention" will let her transform from a qualified immortal into one with the "bearing of a sage" (the sage of the saints).

The tone of this book from the beginning is "the experience of an ordinary person becoming an immortal in the world of Journey to the West and Enthronement of Gods," not a Journey to the West fan fiction, and not for the sake of writing Chu-Han Contention.

After this volume of Chu-Han Contention is finished, it is basically the late stage, when Brother Monkey appears, the book is in the final stage, and with one or two more volumes, it is almost the end. ===== CHAPTER 721 =====
