The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 116 The So-called Way of Heaven

"Let's go." In the end, Zhou Liang broke the silence. He glanced at a few people and said, "It's meaningless to stand here any longer. It's important to hurry now."

"Old Zhou is right." Yuan Mu nodded, "If you look again, you won't find anything. Let them solve their own affairs. What we need now is to find the whereabouts of Earmouse and Lao Hu."

After what he said, everyone calmed down from the complicated mood of seeing those slags before, and they sacrificed their spells and continued to walk towards the deep mountain in the original direction.

"We... really don't care?" The scene he saw just now appeared in front of his eyes again, Yang Yang asked Yuan Mu in a low voice, "I always think of the scene I saw just now, those Taoist people, why should they attacking each other?"

"I don't know about that either." Yuan Mu turned his head and glanced at him, "It's just that there are too many intrigues within the Taoist sect. If you really care about it, the battle never stops."

"After all, it is not a sect. It is not surprising that there will always be some suspicions between so many sects united." Zhou Liang who was on the side heard it and added, "Besides, the current Taoist sect has long declined. The discipline of the disciples may not be so strict."

"But..." Yang Yang was still very puzzled after hearing what they said, "Even if they are negligent in discipline, they won't kill each other!"

"Because they are that kind of people." Yu Zhongwu, who was walking in front of them, finally couldn't bear it when he heard this sentence. He turned his head and looked at Yang Yang, and said, "You may not like to hear this, but in the Daoist sect Internally, there has never been any friendship of the three principles and five constant principles, and all they do is to cultivate and become stronger. For them, fellowship? Heh... probably not as important as a piece of fairy grass."

"But didn't you say that the Taoist sect has always been committed to protecting mortals and the way of heaven?" After hearing what he said, Yang Yang didn't understand. How could such an alliance that takes protecting the way of heaven and protecting the weak as its mission disregard the lives of the disciples in this alliance? ?
"Hmph, safeguarding the way of heaven?" Chacha sneered, yawned and said, "What misunderstanding do you have about them? They are maintaining the way of heaven, so what is Xie Zhi maintaining?"

Her words made Yang Yang even more confused, he turned his head to look at Yuan Muxiang, who smiled and asked him a question.

"In your opinion, what is the way of heaven?"

"The way of heaven should be the law of the operation of everything, right?" Yang Yang replied with some uncertainty.

"What is the way of heaven, not only you don't know, but we don't know, even Xie Zhi, who is known as the executor of the way of heaven, may not be able to explain clearly. But on the surface, the so-called way of heaven is not what you understand Too much of a difference."

As Yuan Mu said, he pointed to a tree and said, "For Dao Dao, the Dao of Heaven is very big, but personally, it is very small. Just like this tree, it sprouts in spring, blooms in summer, bears fruit in autumn, and bears fruit in winter. Fallen leaves, for it, this is the way of heaven."

"Then what does the Dao of Heaven mean to you and me? Monsters are born to be raised by nature, and the human race began with the creation of human beings by the Goddess Snail, but no matter what you say, we are all the same in essence, even if we live long. There will be a moment when we step through life and death and return to heaven and earth. Not only us, even a great god like Pangu will also have a moment of fall. These are the ways of heaven that we share, and it is also the most fair and ruthless place in the way of heaven."

"When we come to this world, we will definitely die, sooner or later." Yuan Mu said, and then continued: "But what is the pursuit of Taoism? The pursuit of Taoism is to live the same life as mountains and rivers. The gods of the mountains and waters are formed by the spirit of the mountains and rivers. We are born and raised by nature, so we have always had difficulties in offspring. You must be familiar with this kind of thing. According to your saying, the higher the creatures, the more they reproduce. The greater the cost."

"That's right, that's right." Yang Yang nodded, agreeing with his statement.

"This is why the human race finally fought against the witch race. There are a large number of human races, but the power is in the hands of the witch race. They are powerful and never care about the life and death of human beings. There must be a war in the future, and our monster race has always been well aware of this."

While talking, Yuan Mu dragged Yang Yang up a few centimeters with the spirit-gathering technique, then pointed to the grass all over the mountain and said, "Just like you don't care about the grass you step on when you walk, in our hearts, you The human race is just like them."

"However, one day, you learned our spells. You don't want to be treated like this. You want justice. Then there was a big war later. It doesn't matter which is right and which is wrong. What did you do in the next tens of millions of years? You said that our monsters are not my race, and that the witch race is a disaster for the common people. However, since the Great War, our monster race retreated to the demon world and rarely appeared, and the witch race retreated to the world. Between the mountains and forests."

"When you were talking about this, did you ever think that the human race was originally from the female snail? When you preached your so-called heavenly way and the so-called supremacy of the human race, why did you ever think that if it weren't for the heavenly way, the two races of liches would I’m afraid it’s long gone.”

"Haven't you ever thought that your so-called Dao of Heaven is just a fig leaf for your own theory of human supremacy."

What Yuan Mu said made Yang Yang fall into silence.

He thought of the things he had encountered since he was a child. When he saw a monster when he first encountered an accident, everyone was afraid of him, even his parents were no exception.

In their eyes, monsters are evil, and even themselves who can see monsters are also monsters.

Therefore, he was alienated and discriminated against since he was a child. If he hadn't met his uncle later...Yang Yang felt that it was possible for him to become anything in the end, even becoming a corpse in Xie Zhi's bedroom.

If he treats himself like this as a human being, then it is self-evident how he would treat monsters. Yang Yang thought of the sourness that had his eyeballs gouged out alive. Although he had never seen it before, he thought, after being It must hate when the eyeballs are gouged out, but what about the so-called Daomen that maintain the way of heaven?

If they really had a hint of compassion, they would definitely not have done such a thing. Now that they have done it, they don't think they are at fault.

But in the way of heaven, the most basic thing is to repay retribution, and the causal cycle of mutual generation and mutual interest.

Doing so, if you want to protect the way of heaven, are you really not afraid of retribution one day?If not, then it might really be like what Yuan Mu said, the so-called Dao of Heaven is just a fig leaf to maintain one's own interests.

"Why are you telling him these things?" Seeing that Yang Yang lowered his head and stopped talking, Chacha said, "He will see these things clearly one day. If you tell him these things now, can he listen?"

"Whether he can listen to it or not is his business, but since he asked, I will always tell him." Yuan Mu smiled lightly when he heard the words, which was regarded as an answer.

Chacha spread out her hands, saying that it's up to you, so she didn't make a sound.

"But Chi Dun is also from the Daoist sect!" Yang Yang suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Mu and asked, "In your heart, is he also that kind of person?"

"Yang Yang, I think you have misunderstood a concept." At this moment Zhou Liang said, "The education you have received since you were young told you that monsters are bad, so at the very beginning you were with us because of your heart. Unwillingly, right?"

"En." Yang Yang thought about his initial mental journey, and nodded honestly.

"But in the process of getting along later, you found that we are different from what you imagined, we are not bad, and we even play the role of protecting human beings in many cases, right?"

He said, and after seeing Yang Yang nodded, he continued: "That's why you will know when you are facing monsters now that there are good and bad monsters. But it is still difficult for you to jump out of a box." , Like us, do you think we are good because we are really good? No, it is because we do not harm human beings, and the reason why you don’t like Xie Zhi is because you find that he can kill people.”

"This is your view of good and evil. I don't want to say whether it is right or wrong, but just like monsters are good and bad, so are human beings. You can understand this. Although monks are not considered human beings to a large extent. , but they are also the same." Zhou Liang said, looking at Yang Yang, "In the Taoism, there have naturally been many people with great wisdom over the past tens of thousands of years, but most of them still agree with 'not No one can change the theory of my race's heart must be different', this point."

"Although Chi Dun is a member of the Daoist sect, I think he may belong to the minority." Yuan Mu finally summed up his words, "From the moment Chi Dun blocked Yue Bing's knife, we knew he was not The kind of people who make friends by birth, such people, I'm afraid they are also the oddities in the Taoist sect."

"Then what we just saw..." Although he accepted the views of several people, Yang Yang still couldn't forget the scene he saw before, not because he didn't want to forget, but because the scene was too bloody and the impression was too deep.

"Since it's an internal fight, we'd better not get involved." Yuan Mu shook his head and said.

At this moment, several people heard the barking of a dog not far away. The sound was extremely miserable, and against the background of the deep mountains and wild mountains, Yang Yang got goosebumps.
