Chapter Twenty-Six: Not Necessarily Powerful
The essence of monasticism is to improve one's inner temperament and find one's true self, because every living being is unique, and from the day they are born, this is predestined.
However, when they grow up, they gradually lose themselves, are dragged down by some things that are not very important, and end up just a mortal, suffering from birth, old age, sickness and death that they should not have to experience, which is the fate of the vast majority of people.
In fact, there is more to it than that, from the moment when the Tao was defined by Nuwa Niangniang, many people have gone further and further on the path of cultivation, and almost all of them have forgotten the essence of the Tao.
Of course, in order to survive better, they define a reason that suits them, the purpose of cultivation is to become a positive result, and the essence of cultivation is to serve more people, help them get rid of suffering, solve difficulties, and more bluntly put it is to kill demons and eliminate demons.
Demons are only demons, that is, they have not grasped the true meaning of the path at all, they have completely deviated from the path and gone in the opposite direction of the path, and based on this foundation, other cultivators have found their own path, that is, those so-called righteous people.
Nuwa Niangniang didn't know if this was wrong, Nuwa Niangniang couldn't solve it, Nuwa Niangniang said that she was not omnipotent, even in the human realm, she was not omnipotent.
Such words will always be deliberately thought to be modest, and the Tao defined by Nuwa Niangniang is derived on the basis of the true Tao, and the Tao of others is derived on the basis of Nuwa Niangniang's Tao.
This sentence means that from the moment they cultivated the Tao, they were already out of Nuwa Niangniang's control, even if Nuwa Niangniang really wanted to do something, it was not something that could be solved by normal means, but it was a great effort, whether it was on the basis of the Tao, Nuwa Niangniang did not know.
Because of Nuwa Niangniang, among all living beings, human beings are the greatest, and they have a lot of superior conditions, and they can do many things that other living beings can't do and can't do.
At the same time, human beings are also the most complex, they will always do some things that others can't think of, and they will give birth to many incidents and cause such and such suffering.
In short, all righteous people always regard it as their duty to slay demons and eliminate demons, thinking that doing so can improve their cultivation and help them attain the Tao as soon as possible.
There is a good reason for the righteous to destroy the evil, and they will always do it, and the cultivation of the righteous is not necessarily higher than that of the evil people, so some problems will arise.
The righteous cannot defeat the evil, whether the war is necessary or not, once it happens, there must be some price, these are usually not compensated, the preciousness of life is that there is only one time, and there is nothing left if it is lost.
Mo Wen is a strange place here, all the lives here will not disappear, and there will be no loss, and there will be no loss of things, naturally there is no cost.
Yan Haoran's words made Yu Jin realize a problem, not all the people here are of the same kind, or even two completely opposite extremes, Yan Haoran is a cultivator, a good cultivator, and like all such cultivators, their idea is very simple, eliminate all evil, this is an ideal.
Ideals are always higher than what really exists, and it is rare to achieve it, Yan Haoran's cultivation has not yet reached the point where he can subdue whoever he wants, and this is the case outside the village.
Mo Wen is a very strange place, many things here have become different, and the same is true for Yan Haoran, except for Xiao Wu, Yan Haoran's cultivation is considered the highest, Xiao Wu has no intention of showing up, Yan Haoran is the most powerful, and he can subdue whoever he wants.
Wang Hai looked at Yan Haoran and said: "What do you mean by this, don't you really plan to let me go, we have been together for so many years, and I haven't done anything bad." ”
Yan Haoran smiled and said that it was himself who did not let go of Wang Hai, from the moment Wang Hai became a demon, his fate was already doomed, Wang Hai laughed, and asked Yan Haoran if he knew why he became like this.
Before Yan Haoran could answer, Wang Hai continued: "You know, of course you know, I am also here to break this seal, if this is not the case, who wants to be tortured like this, if you have the ability, I don't have to do it, I haven't done anything bad, at least no one here has ever had a bad heart." ”
Yan Haoran asked Wang Hai if he dared to do this? Wang Hai said sharply: "What do you mean, what's wrong with me, you are a cultivator, and I am also a cultivator, but our way is different, yours must be right, and mine must be wrong?"
Yan Haoran drank a glass of wine and said softly that he had at least not done anything bad, Wang Hai asked what was a bad thing, when the sun went down at night, everything around him fell into darkness, is this a bad thing done by the sun, is it a bad thing for an eagle to eat a snake, this is nature, if this is a bad thing, everyone is a bad person, Nuwa Niangniang is also a bad person, if it is not for her, everything here will not happen.
Yan Haoran glanced at Wang Haidao: "What do you want to express when you say so much, is it useful, it's useless at all, I don't care what you were before, why did you become like this, I only see it in the future, can you guarantee that you won't do anything bad in the future?"
Wang Hai didn't answer, he was stunned for a moment and asked Yan Haoran if he could guarantee that he would definitely do bad things in the future, Yan Haoran said that this was something that didn't need to be guaranteed, it was just a matter of nature, there was nothing to say, and the courtyard suddenly fell silent, and each of them had something on their minds.
Not only them, but also Yu Jin, she was thinking about what Wang Hai said, and she was also thinking about what Yan Haoran said, just from these conversations, it could be heard that Yan Haoran's approach was wrong, he was a little too domineering, no matter what he did, he needed a reason.
From Wang Hai's words, Lu Jin couldn't hear anything wrong, as Wang Hai said, he didn't do anything, at least he didn't do anything to the villagers, the people here are all good, a person who has not done anything wrong does not need to be punished, Yan Haoran always feels very inappropriate to be indiscriminate like this.
Knowing Wang Hai's identity, you will understand that what Yan Haoran is doing is the most correct, Wang Hai has become a demon, and people who become demons will always do something unfavorable to mortals, this is nature, and it is not something that anyone can change if they want to.
Wang Hai said that he had not done anything bad, and he was not very sure when he said this, especially in the face of Yan Haoran's promise not to do anything bad in the future, Wang Hai's answer was very smart, he asked Yan Haoran rhetorically, in Lu Jin's opinion, this is evading.
The fact is indeed the case, no matter what the reason, from the moment Wang Hai became a demon, many things are doomed, the so-called demon is unable to let go of the heart, a person who can't let go of the knot in his heart will not do nothing, he will do bad things.
It's not just a matter of whether you want to or not, it's something that you have to do, all demons can only grow further if they get negative emotions, it's a certain thing, if he doesn't do it, he will be punished by some kind of punishment, punishment from some aspect that he doesn't know.
This kind of punishment is very strange, you don't know if it really exists, even people who have seen it will have this kind of doubt, this kind of punishment is not something that everyone can bear, if you want to reduce the punishment, you have to do bad things.
After becoming a demon, there is no need to consider this kind of problem, the two are originally interdependent, from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with what Yan Haoran said, and prevention is the best way.
Yu Jin was a little confused, she didn't know what to say, Lu Mu saw that she had something on her mind, and asked her what was wrong, Lu Jin said: "I think this matter is very interesting, or I don't know what it means at all, both of them are right, and the things that are both right are not right, isn't that the case." ”
Lu Mu smiled and said that he was really not easy to answer this question, and he didn't know what to think, so Lu Jin said: "Now it seems that my cultivation is like this, there is nothing good at all, and many problems cannot be solved at all, so why do we still appear here." ”
What does Lu Jin mean, Lu Mu is a little unclear, Lu Jin himself is also a little confused, the words in his heart have obviously been thought about very well, after saying it, I feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what is wrong, probably everything is like this.
After the silence, Wang Hai asked Yan Haoran why he had to wait for the time to go out, he could do it here, Yan Haoran said that he was a principled person, and Wang Hai was not able to do anything, so he didn't have to bear this.
Wang Hai said: "After I go out, how can you be sure that I will definitely do bad things, what if I do good things? Aren't you the most righteous, you can't do it before I do it." ”
Yan Haoran smiled and didn't answer, the village chief asked them not to discuss these meaningless things anymore, the most important thing at the moment was to decide whether to go out or not, whether they could go out.
Wang Hai looked at the village chief and said, "Isn't this matter certain, isn't it proven that these things brought over can be proven, if you can't break the formation, how can you come and go freely?"
The village chief didn't answer this time, Wang Hai was stunned for a moment and said that he understood, although he hadn't seen Yu Jin yet, he could guess what came out, Yu Jin didn't have such a ability at all, what she did was just a trick or something, otherwise he wouldn't have felt their spiritual power, no matter how powerful he was, he could feel a little bit.
Yan Haoran sighed, Wang Hai asked what he meant, Yan Haoran said nothing, but he just felt that in front of the Dao, they were all so small that they didn't know anything at all.
