Chapter 1777: A small family but a big country, how to choose (1/6)
Ning Chen's heart was suspended in the air.
But there seems to be an invisible wall around him that cannot be penetrated no matter how hard he hits it. Even the sound cannot penetrate this wall, and he can only watch what is going on below.
Down there, in the village.
However, Ning Chenxin could see that there was another "Ning Chenxin" who was almost the same as him, still standing there and continuing to do what he wanted to do next.
What is going on?
What did Xuying mean just now?
If you have any questions, just ask.
"Senior, what does this mean?"
The phantom figure gradually solidified, and an old man gradually appeared in the world.
The old man appeared during the previous test of human nature.
I just heard the old man put his hands in his wide sleeves and chuckled: "I just want you to see what outcome your choice will bring. After reading the ending, I don't know if your Taoist heart will be shaken." That’s all.”
Ning Chenxin frowned and said, "Is this an illusion?"
The old man smiled, "Is the illusion that important? If you want to get the answer that this is just an illusion, even if many people will die in the end, you will feel less guilty. If you use this reason to escape, then you What is the use of this path of cultivation? This is true for both Buddhism and Confucianism. To cultivate a person, you must first cultivate your mind.”
After hearing this, the fog in Ning Chenxin's eyes seemed to be dispelled, and she looked clearer. She couldn't help but bow to the old man and said, "Thank you, senior. It's the junior who has taken care of me."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me yet." The old man glanced at Ning Chenxin and said with a slight smile, "I haven't said this is an illusion yet."
Ning Chenxin's expression froze.
The old man smiled and said: "Others may be illusions, but yours is reality. This is somewhere east of the Chaos Realm."
Seeing Ning Chenxin's frozen expression, the old man sneered in his heart.
hehe.
You can count on me to control you. Who told you little **** to torture me crazily during the test... Well, although the person in front of you didn't do those things, it doesn't stop them from being brothers in the same sect!
As for the others... there is nothing we can do to deal with them for the time being!
The enemy's groups of cavalry rushed into the city with scythes. Wherever they passed, the walls fell to the ground, and the living lives were cut down like grass.
This also includes the villagers in the village.
Soon after.
Just as those soldiers said, with the collapse of this city, the surrounding cities were not spared, and were all occupied by the enemy.
Ning Chen watched this scene with his heart in the sky, his expression heavy and his eyes a little erratic.
The surrounding aura... is also shaky, as if it will collapse if touched casually!
The old man looked at this scene, put his hands in his sleeves, and said calmly: "It seems that your choice is wrong."
Ning Chenxin raised her head and looked at the old man, with no color on her face. She smiled miserably and said, "But...are we just going to let those villagers be used as human bombs?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and said: "If it was my choice, I would naturally choose to save those villagers. After all, if it were me, those villagers would be kind to me and have some causal involvement with me. As for the dynasty? Their lives have nothing to do with me. Dry?"
"Of course the guarantor is someone he knows."
Having said this, the old man looked at Ning Chenxin and said with a smile: "So your choice is not wrong, it just depends on whether you can pass the test in your heart."
Ning Chen fell into deep thought.
The choice is not wrong?
Is there really nothing wrong?
The choice I made just now is, to put it mildly, because neither side wants to give up, and both sides want to protect it.
Speaking more broadly, is this not a choice between a small country and a big country?
Seeing that Ning Chen was deep in thought, the old man did not disturb him. He just sat quietly cross-legged, looked into the air, and murmured: "I didn't expect that person's will to choose him, but...his thoughts seemed a little bit... It’s dangerous.”
Ning Chenxin did not hear these words.
Now Ning Chen's thoughts seemed to be stuck in a dead end, and he couldn't get out of it no matter what.
Saving a small family, sacrificing a big country?
To save the big country, give up the small family?
How to choose? After making a choice, how do you get past the level in your heart?
