391. Xiaoyao Road
This is a very good question, and Ma En did not immediately think of any reasonable answer.
He asked doubtfully:
"Could it be that the prosperity you told me before is just an illusion, and the high morality is just their cloak, and they have a deeper purpose?"
"In other words, they are just sanctimonious." Xiaoyao said with a smile, "That's a good answer. I thought they were hypocritical and arrogant a long time ago, but now I don't think so anymore. If these immortals are really hypocritical,
alright.
"In fact, when they set up the spirit gathering formation, they personally cut off the escape route for you mortals in the Desolate World. And at that time, there was no difference between the Desolate World and the Cultivation World. There was only a fast escape and a slow escape.
people.
"Of course, the immortals and their children have all successfully left here, and the ones left in the desolate world must be the lowest level mortals.
"And you and we were all compatriots at that time. In fact, some of you mortals here did not surrender in particular, but in the eyes of those immortals, there was a more important thing to leave you with a way out, which was to prevent the demons from learning the magic of immortality and focusing on it.
The monks are taught spiritual power to prepare for the war when demons break through the two realms in the future, and to protect the lives of the remaining humans at that time.
"Although that war has not occurred until now, this was what those immortals thought in the past. Later, the world of cultivation has adapted and become dependent on the current concentration of spiritual energy, so after noticing the re-emergence of mortals, they still monopolized
Aura.
"Although returning the spiritual energy to you can help you fight against demons and bad environments, they still need this spiritual energy. In fact, I think this is not too much by your standards, but it is completely inconsistent with their self-promotion.
moral level.
"The original spiritual energy is the property of the whole world and all mankind. This kind of spiritual gathering circle was actually a forbidden technique before the appearance of demons and now in the world of cultivation. It can only be used under extremely strict conditions. You know this
Why?"
Xiaoyao had no intention of letting Ma En answer, so he took the lead and said:
"Because they think this is unfair. Everyone has the right to enjoy spiritual energy. Unless there are special circumstances, no one can monopolize the spiritual energy that belongs to all practitioners. The spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array is distributed equally to everyone as much as possible.
place.
“Although this cannot completely eliminate the fundamental gap, they are indeed trying their best to do so.
"So in fact, what they do internally and externally is completely different. Aren't the mortals in the Desolate Realm not human in their eyes? Do they use geography to distinguish between people like you superficial Federation people?
"No, neither the immortals nor the half-immortals have that low level of consciousness. They know that people are just people. No one has more rights to live than the other, and no one should be more likely to receive resources than others.
"When I thought about this, my most instinctive thought was to suspect that they had two faces. I was young and energetic at that time and even did some stupid things that were ridiculous. But the more I got to know them, the more I realized that they were indeed the same.
Demonstrated kindness.
"They are all doing good things, how could they not be good people? If the immortals want to exercise tyranny and trample on other people's lives, it can be said to be a simple matter. The evil alliance established will be far more bloated than yours.
The federation must be efficient and strong.
"No mortal can resist an immortal."
Ma En showed an open-minded and studious expression and asked:
"So what's the answer?"
Xiaoyao smiled and said:
"The answer they gave was that there is no perfect goodness in the world, and they were right so they had to make a choice.
"But the actual impact of what they did was that it indirectly led to the tragic death of countless low-level monks who fought against the demons. It also led to the fact that for a long time you were unable to survive in a vicious environment, and an environment with depleted spiritual energy also developed.
Many evil things.
"I think for your ancestors, those immortals and kindness are not only irrelevant, they are actually very safe. The fact is that all their preparations are useless, and they are not willing to bear the consequences of their actions.
.
"They are just afraid of death."
Ma En then asked:
"Then Master, what is your answer?"
Xiaoyao said:
"My understanding is simpler than theirs - I don't think there is any morality at all.
"I don't mean that there is no morality in the world, nor that morality is meaningless. I just think that morality is not important. There is no truth called morality in the world we live in. I think everyone knows that this is just spread among humans.
the concept of.
"And people like good people just because they may bring benefits to themselves. People hate evil people just because they are afraid that they will harm their own interests. In the final analysis, your joy and anger about good and evil are just animals seeking advantages and avoiding harm.
It's just nature.
"After seeing you, I became more determined in my thoughts. You showed me how unimportant morality is.
"In this case, what reason do we have to follow and care about so-called morality? Good and evil are just our innate nature, but we are not perfect creatures. Otherwise, why would everyone want to become immortals - of course because they don't want to do it
mortal.
"The morality that originates from mortal nature naturally has no place to stand. In this case, what we should pursue is our own happiness. In the end, other people's life and death, happiness and anger are all things outside your heart. Only your own happiness is important.
of."
Ma En frowned slightly and said:
"But you can't live alone, we live around other people."
Xiaoyao smiled and said:
"This is because you saw morality and laws first. In fact, this is a bit funny, because if my disciples were from other federations, they might not question me like you do. Only those with abilities like you who once followed Shenxiao would still
Believe in the existence of morality.
"You still believe in it just because it already exists, but you should know that it has not existed since ancient times and will not continue to exist in the near-eternal future. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? When you are in a world that relies on morality
When the world exists, it is simply impossible to see its true face, nor to see where it should go.
"I am not saying this to ask you to have the same thoughts as me. If you think the same as me, there is no need for me to accept you as my disciple.
"I just want to tell you the reason why I left the world of cultivation.
"I think you have guessed that I didn't come out here just to have nothing to do. Although my Xiaoyao Dao allowed me to practice in the desert, the real reason why I left the world of cultivation was that they could no longer tolerate me and they did not accept me.
Questioning the original Taoism.
"I just hope they can abandon hypocrisy and hypocrisy. I hope they can wake up from this meaningless morality. I hope they can not break free from the shackles of the so-called legal principles. I hope...
"Everyone can be free."
