Chapter 887: Don't Agree
After talking with the former leader of the Moyi Sect, Ye Zan realized that the "big devil" in the mouth of the Moyi Sect actually had a heart of "saving the world".
Although, no matter what purpose the former leader had, what he was going to do was the same insanity. However, from Ye Zan's point of view, this starting point is completely different, which at least means that the other party still has a reason to say. To put it simply, this is the difference between a complete villain and a good person who has done bad things with good intentions.
Of course, Ye Zan only had a few conversations with the other party now, so he didn't really believe what the other party said. After all, the other party may also deliberately pretend to be a good person to win his trust and sympathy.
Therefore, Ye Zan secretly strengthened his courage, and cautiously asked: "Senior! Forgive me for speaking bluntly, although the senior wants to sacrifice blood to all beings in the domain, although it is not for his own benefit, it is too hurtful after all, isn't it?"
Although Ye Zan didn't quite agree with the former leader's approach, he could actually understand it in his heart. However, his understanding does not mean the understanding of empathy, but only a theoretical understanding.
The reason why Ye Zan asked so much was not to get some answers, but to know more about the other party and see if he could see any flaws.
After hearing Ye Zan's questioning question, the former leader didn't show any anger, and said with a rather flat expression: "What is Tianhe? It's just some people, in order to protect their own interests, pretend to be God's will. It's just something made up. It's like those secular monarchs who claim to be the real man, but in fact it's just a bit of luck."
"However, senior, have you ever thought that if this matter is really done, even if this realm completes the way of heaven, it will become a dead place itself, and it doesn't seem to be any better?" Ye Zan Seeing that the other party was not angry, he immediately became more courageous, and then expressed his own opinion.
"Hehe, old man, judging by your age, you should have not even reached the so-called age of fortitude. It is reasonable to be able to say such a thing!" The former leader did not respond immediately, but talked about it. Ye Zan's age.
"Could it be that senior thinks what this junior said is wrong?" Ye Zan asked curiously.
In fact, as I said earlier, Ye Zan understood what the former leader did. Therefore, he is pretending to be so curious now, but he is actually trying to hook the other party's words. What he said, he just wanted to understand what kind of "three views" the other party had through the other party's words.
"You are still young, and you have seen few things, so your vision will naturally be limited." The former leader didn't know that Ye Zan was pretending to be stupid, so he still explained his philosophy seriously, saying: "The old man wants a blood sacrifice. Although the needs of all living beings in the domain are quite great, it is not enough to make all living beings extinct. What's more,
Even if the creatures are extinct, I teach that there is a teleportation circle to connect to the outer domain, and it is not difficult to move some people and other creatures over. "
From a human point of view, the former leader's remarks are really cold-blooded and ruthless to the extreme. In his eyes, not to mention other living beings, even the "human being" who is the spirit of all things seems to be something that can be manipulated at will. He said it was "relocation", but in fact it was like buying cattle, buying a group of people from outside the domain to supplement the domain.
"This..." Even though Ye Zan understood the other party's reasoning, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable when he heard such words. Perhaps, it is indeed as the other party said, the time he has become a monk is too short, and the traces of the technological world have not been completely erased.
Seeing Ye Zan's reaction, the former leader smiled indifferently, and then said: "I know, you may say that even if the population and other creatures are moved from the foreign domain, they will not be able to match the original scene of this world." Compared. However, this is the limitation brought about by your age, you have not had the opportunity to truly see, whether it is human or other creatures, the horror of reproductive ability. "
"Senior..." Ye Zan also convinced the other party's ability to talk to himself, which shows that the other party has really been suffocated in this void all these years. Of course, this is also a good thing for him. The more the other party talks, the more he can reveal his true nature.
"You probably don't know. At the beginning of the collapse of the world, the realm of heaven had not yet formed, and disasters continued in the realm. The creatures in the realm, including the human race, compared with before the collapse of the sky and the earth, there is nothing to say. It’s not an exaggeration. However, after the way of heaven took shape, the law of alternating day and night and changing seasons was restored, but in just a few thousand years, everything has returned to the original scene. Can you imagine such a scene?” Then The ex-religion leader really started talking, as if his eyes were shining when he spoke, it was not because of what he said, but more simply because someone was listening.
Although the former leader had said before that he had lived for so long by feigning death, tens of thousands of years were nothing but hundreds of years to him. But the problem is, his physical body can be suspended animation, and his brain can stop thinking about anything, but it is impossible for Faxiang spirit to fake death. Therefore, the physical body is really equivalent to the past hundreds of years, but the Dharma, the soul, or the self-awareness, has really experienced the loneliness of tens of thousands of years.
Among the many ascetics that Ye Zan has met so far, the only one who can be compared with the former leader is Gouchen Supreme. However, Gouchen Zhizun had better luck than the former leader. Not long after he was trapped in the Arctic Immortal Palace, his disciple Ling Han Daojun came to find him. As a result, even though Gouchen Zhizun had been trapped for thousands of years, there was still someone beside him who could talk.
Moreover, Gouchen Zhizun was trapped in the Arctic Immortal Palace, but he couldn't leave that prison, and he was still able to comprehend the Dao and deduce the Dao. And the former leader of the Moyi religion, in this place where there is nothing, really can't do anything, he can only just stand there in a daze. At most, he would deduce something in his heart, but he could only think about it, and there was no condition for experimentation at all.
In other words, the loneliness and coldness that the former leader had to endure while being trapped in the void was not at all discounted.
Because of this, suddenly seeing Ye Zan, an outsider, having the only opportunity for dialogue in ten thousand years, the former leader's chatterbox is not so easy to close. If he missed this time, God knows when the next time someone from outside will come in here to give him a second chance to talk.
The former leader didn't even need to think about imprisoning Ye Zan here forever. After all, this was just a distraction of Ye Zan. This ray of distraction is not easy to lose, but it is by no means unavoidable. Even Ye Zan can lose his distraction and disappear completely.
Seeing the former leader of the Moyi sect, the "big devil" in the mouth of the outside world, now turned into a chatterbox, Ye Zan couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic. Therefore, upon hearing the other party's last question, Ye Zan immediately shook his head cooperatively, and said, "This junior is indeed unimaginable!"
"Well, if you think about it this way, if you live in a thatched hut and you have a colony of ants, the ants are just ignorant and go about their own business day after day. Now, a man comes and tells you that as long as you destroy After this nest of ants, I will give you a manor. How would you choose? You know, with that manor, it is no problem for you to raise more nests of ants. Now it is just that you give up the nest in your hand. .” The former leader saw Ye Zan being so open-minded and eager to learn, so he gave another example to illustrate his philosophy.
Ye Zan secretly felt it was funny, but he had to admit that the other party's example was quite appropriate, so he said very wisely: "According to what the senior said, the junior himself chose...that manor."
"That's right, that's the right choice!" The former leader seemed to see the comrade, and his face showed a rare look of excitement, and he slapped several times vigorously with his hands, and said: "Now, old man If I tell you that the nest of ants you originally raised is all the creatures in this realm. And that thatched hut and that manor are the avenues of heaven and earth in this realm. As long as you abandon that nest of ants, your thatched hut will be How would you choose to become a manor, that is, the change of the realm, the avenue of heaven and earth?"
"This..." Faced with such a metaphor, Ye Zan couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know how to answer it for a while.
Seeing Ye Zan's reaction, the former leader looked a little proud, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you hesitated, you didn't say your choice, but because you came from the human race, you dare not say that you would risk the world like that." What a bad choice! But, in your heart, you should be able to agree with what the old man did back then!"
"Senior, when senior had this plan, he was opposed by many elders in the Moyi sect. Didn't he try to persuade them like today?" Ye Zan controlled his emotions and asked the former leader seriously.
Although the metaphor used by the former leader of the church may seem a little too childish, the truth is also real.
However, the "you" in the metaphor has completely become two kinds of existences with the ants. If "you" is replaced by the same ant, the metaphor may not be very convincing. However, in this world, don't ascetics always consider themselves superior to ordinary people? Didn't they always regard secular mortals as ants?
Hearing Ye Zan's question, the former leader showed a bit of helplessness on his face, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, I haven't tried to persuade them! It's a pity that they all only care about their own interests, so naturally they won't agree with me. In the end, I can only see the truth in my hands."
Because the Moyi religion is a "government", it is not separated from the secular world like other sects, so it also leads to various connections between the believers and the secular world. Especially those elders, as well as relatively high-level figures, almost all have their own big families in the secular world. If you look at it purely from the perspective of the family, the Moyi religion is even like a group composed of many monastic families.
As for that, it was someone who reached a high position in the religion before they had the huge and powerful family behind them. Or is it the other way around, a strong family is the first to achieve a high position in the Moyi religion. This is like a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Anyway, there is no way to verify it now.
In short, as the former leader said, behind those elders back then, there are already families that need to be taken care of. The former leader said that he wanted to sacrifice blood to all beings in the realm, which naturally included the families of those elders, and how could those elders be persuaded.
"This, seems to be reasonable!" Ye Zan also said helplessly. Anyway, he felt that if he replaced himself in the position of those elders, he would not abandon the family "righteously". How is the way of heaven, what is the domain, in his eyes, he can't compare with the people around him, even if he can exchange it with one person, let alone everyone.
"Don't you agree with the old man's approach?" Hearing Ye Zan's words, the former leader frowned and asked.
At this time, through the previous conversation, Ye Zan already had a certain judgment on the temperament of the former leader. Therefore, he stopped pretending and nodded directly: "That's right, although this junior knows that the senior's approach is reasonable, and there is indeed a certain possibility of success. However, when it comes to the people around the junior, don't say What kind of avenue of heaven and earth has been restored, even if this realm is going to be destroyed, this junior will not abandon anyone."
"Oh, ignorance, really ignorance! How can we cultivators be entangled by these ordinary things and emotions? If you are walking smoothly on the path of cultivation, but the people around you are unable to keep up with your footsteps, how can you Do you want to stop and wait for them?" The former leader said in a heartbroken voice after hearing Ye Zan's statement.
Obviously, in the eyes of the former leader, a "genius" like Ye Zan should put aside all the entanglements of emotions and desires, and keep moving towards the apex of the avenue wholeheartedly. If, as he assumed, Ye Zan had to stop and wait because the people around him couldn't keep up, wouldn't that be a waste of his talent.
However, facing the questioning of the former leader, Ye Zan said with a smile: "Stop and wait, of course it is unrealistic, and it is indeed a relatively stupid approach. I will continue to move forward and find help in front." The things they go forward together, or have the ability to help them, and then turn around and lead them forward. People practice Taoism for longevity and freedom, but if everyone around them is left behind, longevity is also rare. Take it easy."
"It seems that you are very confident in yourself, and you still want to help others!" Facing Ye Zan's response, the former leader said with a sneer. 2k reading network
