"Selfish..." the old man obviously didn't think Wang was also selfish. On the contrary, he appreciated the silly child who gave up his family business and went to the mountain to become a Taoist.
"What everyone pursues all his life is different. Maybe Xiao Wang is really selfish in your eyes, but this so-called selfishness... Is far less than the selflessness he shows."
"If today is still in the troubled times of that year, I believe he will also be the kind of Taoist who chooses to go down the mountain..."
"In prosperous times, the mountain was closed for cultivation, and in troubled times, people went down the mountain to save people..."
"The third child of Wang Weiguo's family is really born to be a Taoist. It's a pity that the child's practice is not good and he can't see what you want to do..."
"Old Sir, you and I should have never met face to face. How can you be sure that your guess is right..." Liu Xiaojiang slowly put down his tea cup and turned to look at the powerless old man beside him.
"If your guess in your heart is not accurate and you meet me alone like this, are you not afraid that you will die in my hands?"
"After all, rare big people like you often cherish their lives and don't participate in some dangers at ordinary times..."
Speaking of which,
He looked at the old man who didn't seem to care about his life and death and said, "I have to say..."
"I'm not surprised that you can guess that I will come to the door, but at present, this risky behavior of meeting me alone will inevitably make me feel that you are belittling me. This kind of thing should not appear on an ordinary person, not to mention your high status..."
"No..." the old man smiled, shook his head and said:
"Don't underestimate you now. I've never even paid so much attention to a young man as I do today..."
"But the attention is the same as the attention. I can't show the so-called attention, so I ordered others to come and die..."
"This is nothing more than using human life to verify the facts that have already been confirmed. I don't want those excellent young soldiers to die meaninglessly. Since it is a meaningless sacrifice... An old and immortal is enough."
"Besides..."
The old man looked at Liu Xiaojiang jokingly and said:
"You're not the kind of unreasonable guy. When you're willing to sit down and talk to me, I can fully confirm this..."
"Otherwise..."
"Your all-round leader wins the hook. How can you give up what you want to do because of two subordinates, and how can you communicate with an ordinary person without power on an equal footing......"
"You already know what I'm going to do?" Liu Xiaojiang didn't answer this kind of thing, but after a short silence, his eyes asked tentatively.
"So do you think what I have to do is a right choice or a wrong extreme behavior..."
"You should have the answer in your heart, otherwise you can't choose this road of no return..." the old man didn't directly answer Liu Xiaojiang's question, but looked out the window at the gradually complete moon and said:
"What is absolutely right in this world and what is wrong that any creature will deny..."
"Are those things that we ordinary people believe must be correct in line with the law of natural development and completely follow the correct choice of the so-called heaven order?"
"I can't see..."
"The existence of ordinary people like us is very extreme, because we think we are the masters of the world, and other creatures in the world... Even the so-called rules of heaven have to make way for our survival."
"Selfish, cruel, greedy..."
"But can you say that this is wrong? If other creatures come to this point, will they certainly do better than us and accept the dissimilarity in their own group, even your relatively special existence?"
"This is also completely impossible..."
"Because we are no different from them in essence. We are all jungle beasts living in this world. It is only because we have a slightly higher wisdom and know how to use tools that we suppress other creatures in power......"
"We are indeed more powerful and even become the masters of the world, but we... Are still them. Even if many beautiful things are born, they are only used to highlight the difference between ourselves and them."
"Although it's cruel to say it, we are really no different from them. We can never erase the instinct of wild animals unless... Everyone is willing to give up the peaceful life at present and practice their virtue in the mountains and forests like your Taoists in Longhu Mountain."
"But unfortunately, this is undoubtedly another impossibility..."
"You human beings are indeed the masters of the world." Liu Xiaojiang did not open his mouth to refute the old man's words, but obviously did not agree with all the views of the other party.
"Although you still have many shortcomings as the masters of the world, no one has noticed this at all, but compared with most people in the world... Such people are rare."
"And..."
So far,
He looked up at the old man beside him and said:
"Even if such people are at the peak of the world and become managers recognized by most people, it is difficult to put their ideas into action, because most people will not agree with this kind of thing, and they prefer to take themselves as the center of everything."
"These people... These people need to recognize their own weakness. They must understand that they are just a grain of dust in the world. They know that they can follow the biological instinct to pursue beauty, but they are not qualified to let everything in the world pay for their beauty."
"You're right about one thing..."
"I really have an answer in my heart. I came here today just to confirm your existence. Whether I agree with what I insist on doing at present, but whether I can understand the reason why I choose to do so."
"Now it seems that..."
"It's not that you so-called masters of the world don't have a clear understanding of yourself......"
Wen Yan,
The old man suddenly fell into silence. Although he guessed Liu Xiaojiang's firmness, when he really confirmed this, he inevitably felt that this kind of thing was too cruel.
"Xiaojiang, objectively speaking, the things you insist on have nothing to do with right or wrong. It can even be said to be a good opportunity, but this opportunity... Must have been bought by many people with their lives."
"Some people in this world are really selfish, but at least they haven't done anything too special. At most, it's just a matter of personal morality. Is it... Too cruel to let these people lose their lives for the world?"
"When everyone thought it was a personal moral problem, it didn't rise to the point of making themselves villains, and then everyone acquiesced in the normalization of the matter..." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head.
"The world will only become more deviant in the future. If you want to make changes on this matter at that time, you will only pay a heavier price..."
"Besides..."
"I will give them a chance to recognize themselves and make changes. If the situation is relatively good, too many people will not really die..."
