Chapter 6407 This is not a gift, but a transaction
Anna stared blankly at the light screen, her blood-gold beautiful eyes revealing the wisdom of great wisdom.
Qin Yichen smiled disapprovingly and saw that the scene in the light curtain accelerated, and dozens or hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye. In other words, the farmers who worked hard in the light curtain had been paying tribute to the landlords for hundreds of years.
"Is this still a gift?
The grain these farmers have paid over the years has already been enough to buy this land, right?"
Anna's expression changed. She was kind-hearted and was not immune to dust. Instead, she was as dusty as the light. She had also traveled to every land on behalf of the temple, and naturally she had seen the powerful and the oppressed and the weak.
Qin Yichen shrugged. He would not be so extreme, nor would he agree that whoever is weak is justified, but that did not mean that he would agree.
"It's a deal."
Qin Yichen spoke: "You have opened up the land, and the farmers who need to rely on the land you have opened up to survive will offer you sacrifices. It is just a transaction."
The problem that Qin Yichen realized in this universe lies here! Indeed, he does not deny that according to the records in the divine scriptures, those creation gods are great, opening up the world and establishing order.
But this is just like Emperor Sui passing on the Tao he learned through fire to other tribesmen, but he also said that descendants of all generations need to enshrine him as a human emperor and respect him forever.
The achievements pioneered by Emperor Sui can indeed be enshrined as an emperor, but in the final analysis, this is just a transaction.
But in fact, Emperor Sui did not do this. He accepted the admiration of countless descendants, but if some of his descendants did not respect him or believe in him, his spirit in heaven would not be angry.
"If you have ever traveled around the world, you should have seen the scene in the light curtain. And the difference between those high-ranking creation gods and them is only the difference in rights brought by power."
Qin Yichen said calmly: "Since it is a transaction, we only need to consider whether it is a profit or a loss. In the transaction process, both parties are equal, and no one has to be grateful to the other."
"But..." Anna wanted to refute. She who believed in light since she was a child seemed unable to accept such words, but was interrupted by Qin Yichen: "I know that it is a good thing to be grateful, but it is good for you to be grateful. Others cannot use this kind of words."
What are you kidnapping with gratitude?"
Of course, Qin Yichen does not deny that according to the records in the divine scriptures, there are many gods in this universe who care about the world. For example, Promi, who brought fire to the world, is indeed a compassionate existence for mankind.
But other than that, Qin Yichen didn't feel that after so many years, he still had to be so grateful to the so-called gods.
"The land was opened by them, but the food they used to feed themselves was watered by the farmers themselves with their own sweat. This is called self-reliance."
There is a logical flaw in this, that is, Anna attributes all the credit to the gift of God.
Qin Yichen took a deep breath, which reminded him of Brother Guanxing, who taught him many things, such as many peerless Taoist techniques.
Without Brother Guanxing, he would never have had access to such powerful Taoism in his life.
But then again, Brother Guanxing passed it on to him, which was equivalent to planting a seed. However, from being obscure to being powerful, Qin Yichen understood it step by step.
The world can say that without Brother Guanxing, his achievements today would not have been possible, but the footprints left on the road to enlightenment were left by him himself and were not given by anyone.
The same is true for alchemy. If Qin Yichen remembers correctly, the earliest ancestor of alchemy, or medicinal materials, should be Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan was also called Emperor Shennong. He tasted hundreds of herbs and wrote the first classic book on medicinal materials——
Shen Nong's Herbal Classic! And Qin Yichen and even all the alchemists of later generations stood on the shoulders of Emperor Yan and continued to open up the road to alchemy. From this point of view, Emperor Yan can be said to be their ancestor.
But Emperor Yan would not say that all the alchemy masters' achievements were because of him. Without his gift, the alchemy masters in the world would be worthless.
In the same way, the gods of this universe, even if they can really create the world, can be aloof, but it does not mean that while they are aloof, they still need all sentient beings to be grateful.
Moreover, Qin Yichen is very doubtful about the ground-breaking miracles in the divine canon, because if those creation gods are so powerful, can Satan still escape to his universe?
Of course, the details of it are not enough to explain to Anna, but even what I just said has already made the latter start to waver.
"Is this... just a transaction?"
Anna lowered her head. The light and admiration for God that had accompanied her memory could not be erased so easily. When Qin Yichen saw this, he smiled and said: "When we...well, when I travel the universe,
I heard such a sentence once in a plane."
"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all living things as mutts. The gods are unkind and regard all living beings as mutts."
Qin Yichen walked sideways: "This sentence sounds like the world is cold and ruthless, treating everything in the world as pigs and dogs, and letting them suffer."
"Well, many people in the world understand it this way, but it's actually not the case."
Qin Yichen raised his head and looked at Anna: "My understanding of this is that heaven and earth will not flaunt their benevolence and righteousness. If you believe in him, he will exist. If you don't believe in him, he will not punish you like this..." Anna said
He looked confused, but he was even more yearning for Qin Yichen's wisdom.
"Cud dog, I mean, it's a cud dog made of straw, not a pig dog."
Qin Yichen said: "Cud dogs are used as tributes for worship, but why are they made of straw?
Perhaps it is because, for the worshiping beings, a dog or an animal is actually very precious and cannot be wasted easily..." "And using a mutt dog to worship is to use fake tributes to sacrifice the heaven and earth to worship the gods.
God, this is bullying the heaven and the gods. Do you think that when the heaven and the earth are angry, the thunder from the sky will strike these deceivers to death?"
Anna was silent, almost subconsciously tapping her playful and pointed chin, but then she shook her head.
"No, it can't be..." Qin Yichen said with a smile: "Yes, no, it seems that you have seen those believers. Some of them are actually very poor and can only feed themselves. In fact, their beliefs are not that firm. If they have extra
Livestock, it is better to stew the meat so that you can have a good meal instead of offering it to the gods."
"But the gods and heaven and earth are so high above, can they not see it?
In fact, you can see it, but they haven't come to punish you."
Qin Yichen's smile faded and he looked at the sky: "If heaven and earth were really unkind, thunder would have fallen long ago."
