This kind of mentality was not hard to understand.
It was just like how modern people who had transmigrated to ancient times would have this kind of detached mentality when faced with the words and actions of ancient people.
Even if their thoughts were different from everyone else's, they would still believe that they were correct.
This included Shen Yi himself.
In the second world, when faced with the various curses and slander on the western internet, he did not care at all.
This similarly originated from the detached mentality of a person of high status.
And now.
In Wu Jiong's eyes, Shen Yi saw this detachment.
"You guys are too easily influenced." Looking at the three, Wu Jiong helplessly shook her head, a faint disappointment in the depths of her eyes. "The words spoken by different people have different statuses and different meanings. In many cases, it only represents the inner heart of the speaker. That is all."
Just as Shen Yi had seen, Wu Jiong did not take these people's words to heart from the very beginning.
However, he was somewhat surprised.
From these words, Wu Jiong seemed to have analyzed the information behind them.
For a moment, Li Chengqian and the others did not understand the meaning behind Wu Jiong's words. However, the two brothers looked at each other, not willing to lower themselves to ask.
Fortunately, there was still Princess Changle.
Li Lizhi tilted her head and asked, "Sister Jiong, could it be that these people are all lying?"
"No. To themselves, I'm afraid that they all feel that what they are saying is the truth." Wu Jiong shook her head. Raising her eyes, she looked at Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi who were at a loss. She asked, "What do you think of the customs of this place?"
"This …" The corners of Li Chengqian's eyes twitched, as if recalling the appearance of those people cursing and swearing. He could only reservedly say, "In the land of pre-Qin, the customs of the people are naturally valiant."
"It's not just valiant." The corners of Wu Jiong's eyes carried a trace of a smile. "On the way here, a quarter of the elders here have been subjected to ink torture. They are only using scars or mud to hide it."
"Ah?" The three were all shocked.
Ink torture was a tattoo on the face of those who had committed a crime.
That was to say, there were actually so many criminals in this place?
"From what I can see, most of the people who have been tortured with ink are around thirty to forty years old. I'm afraid they are criminals from the previous dynasty. If I'm not wrong, the people in this village are bandits who settled down and became citizens." Wu Jiong said with certainty.
The so-called bandits who settled down and became civilians were actually bandits from the time of war. After the world had settled down, they found a village to settle down and became farmers again in order to prevent themselves from being liquidated.
The better ones would open up their own villages.
Some evildoers directly occupied other people's villages and killed all the villagers.
This was something that had happened in the early days of the Great Tang.
The reason why Wu Jiong was so sure was not only because of the ink on their faces, but also because of their words and actions.
Every single one of them was crafty and cunning. For the sake of a little bit of profit, they would reveal their ugly side, and when they spoke malicious words, their faces were even more repulsive.
They could be described as unruly.
It was hard to imagine that such people would obediently farm during a time of war when the people had no way of making a living.
Wu Jiong did not have any ill feelings towards unruly people. She knew very well that these so-called unruly people were mostly due to the environment. When the mountains were poor and the rivers were evil, unruly people were born. When there was not enough to eat, even a little bit of profit could increase their chances of survival.
However, the credibility of these people's words was naturally greatly reduced.
Even Li Chengqian and the others were shocked when Wu Jiong pointed out that these villagers might be bandits.
When they thought back to what they had said, their attitudes were completely different.
This was the so-called reversal of perception.
In modern society, this situation was even more obvious. Most people's perceptions would be reversed with the reversal of public opinion, and even reversed again and again. Only a small number of people could not be affected by public opinion and return to the original situation.
This kind of ability could even be said to be a basic requirement for the members of the association.
After all, the members of the association had to face the voices of the entire world under the doomsday.
Of course, this requirement was actually not difficult to achieve.
Different identities and statuses would naturally create a transcendent mentality. Shen Yi himself might not be one of those people, but his identity and his ability determined that he had this kind of transcendent mentality. He would not be easily disturbed.
However, Wu Jiong did not have such conditions.
She relied purely on her own ability to eliminate interference and return to the original situation.
"Really not bad." Shen Yi praised her once again. "Her attitude, observation skills, and personality are all top-notch. She's able to observe the overall situation even though she's in the middle of it all. Lilac, you've given me a pleasant surprise."
"Not only that, she herself is a good seedling." Clove was not only smiling, but even the corners of her eyes were smiling. She had rarely been so happy. "Captain, please continue watching."
Shen Yi did not say anything, but it was clear that he was looking forward to it.
Discovering the problem was important, but solving it was even more important.
At this moment, Li Chengqian and the others were still in shock from the reversal.
"Could it be … these unruly people really dared to deceive us?" Li Chengqian seemed to be in disbelief, and even a little angry. "How could they be so bold!"
After all, he had been given a big fright just now, thinking that the officials were really protecting each other, and that even the Underworld and the Ghost Rider Department were involved.
That was a big deal.
But now, he suddenly realized that he might have been deceived by these unruly people. How could he not be angry?
Li Tai's face was green, then white. He wanted nothing more than to have the guards flatten this place.
"Naturally, they don't have such guts." Wu Jiong shook her head lightly. "I've already said that what they said is only what they think. Of course, there's no lack of embellishment, taking things out of context, and malicious slander … Let's go."
"Where to?" Li Lizhi asked instinctively.
"Naturally, to the main house." Wu Jiong raised her fair chin. "Everyone's heading that way."
Just as she had said, many of the surrounding students began to rush in one direction. Some of them had even rolled up their sleeves, looking like they were filled with righteous indignation.
The Immortal Bestow Academy did not just teach knowledge.
It also taught cultivation methods.
Most of these students had Qi and blood cultivation. Perhaps they were not very strong, but with so many of them, there was no need for guards to teach a country squire a lesson.
Li Chengqian and the others seemed to have realized something, and immediately broke out in cold sweat.
"Not good!" Li Chengqian had already quickened his steps.
If it was really as Wu Jiong said, there was something else behind this matter, and these students were deceived by the unruly people and did something wrong, then it would definitely damage the reputation of the Immortal Bestow Academy.
At that time, the world would probably say that the students of the Immortal Bestow Academy could not distinguish right from wrong.
Or even more seriously.
It would be a disgrace to the name "Immortal Bestow"!
