Chapter 245: Drinking on the Sages

Nangong Lie filled Ji Tianci with another glass of wine, "That night in Luoshan, you seriously injured Shangguan Hong's precious grandson, if I hadn't saved him in time, I'm afraid you would have died." ”

Ji Tianci felt angry and funny, "But I remember that you also wanted to kill me at that time." ”

"Yes, Shangguan Zhi has an accident with me, if I don't give an explanation to the Shangguan family, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it. What's more, I was also tired of you at that time, and my family broke the oath for you, but you are better to live as a merciless person. Fortunately, you are still valuable to my Nangong family, otherwise you will definitely die in the conspiracy of the Shangguan family. ”

When Nangong Lie said this, he glanced at Lu Manwen intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to know where his granddaughter lost.

"I have always wondered, I once heard your flute sound and Yu Lun's Zheng sound in love, it is clearly a match made in heaven, but why did you suddenly abandon Yu Lun and leave? To tell the truth, when I heard your flute voice, even the old man thought that you were a genius, compared to those ordinary people in the Shangguan family, you can be described as extraordinary, but unfortunately, unfortunately, you have no fate. ”

Ji Tianci picked up the wine glass and looked at the wine in the cup, raised his head and drank a glass again, thinking of Nangong Yulun, and felt that this matter could not be explained clearly, no matter what he said, he was at a loss, "Nangong Guardian, the matter of feelings is reluctant, you shouldn't force Senior Sister Nangong to marry the Shangguan family, and in the same way, no one can force me to like her; Emotional things can't be forced, there will always be fate that should be in life, and fate that is not in fate can't be forced, feelings don't distinguish between right and wrong, why impose on emotions with secular rules and regulations. ”

"Hahahaha, there is no distinction between right and wrong! It is really rare for a god-given little friend to have such an opinion at such an age. Yes, it's not just emotions, everything in the world is right or wrong, it's all just about survival. ”

"Heh, it's really a big rebellion to say this from the mouth of you, the guardian of Zhongzhou, so in your opinion, it's not wrong to kill people and set fires?"

Nangong Lie chuckled, "We are the powerhouses of this world, standing at the top of the food chain, and the so-called right and wrong are only what we think is right and wrong. We raise poultry in captivity and eat their flesh and bones in order to survive, have you ever thought that if there are higher beings who live in captivity and feed on human beings, then they are right or wrong? This is a world where the strong are respected, and the strong say right is right, and wrong is wrong. We say that the tiger beast is fierce, but in fact the most ferocious is human, and no matter how terrible the tiger and lion are, they are not kept in a cage by humans for everyone to enjoy. Therefore, there is no absolute right or wrong. ”

Ji Tianci drank a glass of wine, "Then since everything is right and wrong, isn't the existence of the law meaningless?"

"The law is the law made by the strong. Throughout the history of the world, various countries have experienced a long era of feudal monarchs, and the earliest legal code we can see, the Code of Hammurabi, is engraved on a black basalt pillar, also known as the "Stone Pillar Law". At the top of the pillar is a relief of King Hammurabi standing in front of Shamash, the god of the sun and justice, receiving the symbol of royal power, to symbolize the divine right of kings and the inviolability of royal power. ”

When Nangong Lie said this, he drank another glass of wine, "Do you believe that there is a god in the world?"

Ji Tianci thought about it, the so-called gods are also different kinds of life, and most of the gods described in the history of the Nine Shadows are also related to the sacrifice family, whether there is a god in the world depends on whether people are willing to believe in the existence of God, and if you believe it, you don't believe it.

Ji Tianci was noncommittal, "God is just a title, a name for the strong." ”

"Oh, yes! It seems that you are also an understanding person. In order to better rule his people, Hammura deliberately created a god who claimed that his kingship was given by God and inviolable, and he made his people believe that there was a god on earth and that God favored him, so that he would be more powerful and his laws more majestic. ”

"Since you say that laws are made by the strong, then why are the laws of all countries in the world today made by legislatures, and most of these legislatures represent ordinary people?"

Nangong Lie smiled, "That's because ordinary people are powerful, and when people were in the era of slavery, most people took the existence of slaves for granted. However, human nature is complex, everyone has a servile side and a hegemonic side, and it is those 'who do not want to be slaves' who unite together to overthrow hegemony and move towards a democratic society. Any ruler in history who wants to oppress the people will not end well, unless he has the absolute power to suppress the people of the world, then he can be called a god. And there are still people who believe in the existence of God, which is also the servile side of human nature, in my opinion, they are willing to be ruled and are weak, and you and I are different, we are all strong in this world. ”

Ji Tianci pretended to be surprised, "Nangong senior, you don't always want to rule the world, do you?"

"Rule the world, if I can, why wouldn't I? The strong do not believe in God, the strong believe in themselves, and I believe in the laws of our time, because they are the laws we made ourselves. For businessmen, money makes them stronger, for me, power makes me stronger, the law of survival tells us that this is a world of the jungle, in order to survive, I can only become stronger, only think of ways to get higher power. ”

Lu Manwen was speechless by these remarks, and Ji Tianci was also silent, thinking of the struggle between the sacrifice clan and the Youth League, maybe the Youth League was not wrong, they might just be afraid of their own demise.

"Isn't it good to spend your life in this world peacefully?" Ji Tianci asked lightly.

"What's the point of living like a wasted person who does nothing, human beings only have one home like the earth, mediocre people devour the earth's resources like cancer cells, and when the earth's resources are exhausted, human beings will be finished. What's the point of living like this? In my opinion, that's wrong. ”

"And if you're in power, what are you going to do right?"

Contemporary people lack a sense of crisis, and only war can make people feel oppressed and tap human potential. I'm not a scientist, I'm just a politician in the extraordinary world, but we can wage war, war can quickly bring scientific and technological progress, World War I gave birth to airplanes and tanks, World War II gave birth to nuclear weapons, and after the war, these weapons are used for the benefit of mankind, airplanes have become the most efficient means of transportation, nuclear energy provides us with a huge amount of energy, so war makes mankind progress. We humans on the earth are the absolute hegemons, human beings lack an enemy, an enemy who can make their own progress, we can only rely on civil war to strengthen ourselves, and civil war can also reduce population expansion and slow down the loss of earth's resources. Have you ever thought that even if we can get out of the earth, what we do is still plundering the resources of other planets, all for survival, how can we survive if we are not strong?"

Ji Tianci was silent again after hearing this, Nangong Lie's point of view was appalling, but he couldn't refute the other party in shock, he didn't expect that an ordinary small talk had risen to the height of human existence, if it was someone else, he might not think deeply about Nangong Lie's words, but he had to think about this, because he had a heavy mission.

For the first time, he felt that Nangong Lie was not so offensive. Although this person seems to be sanctimonious, cunning, and utters a bunch of rebellious theories, he can think about the same things as himself, thinking about the fate of mankind.

"Nangong senior, why do you want to tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will scold you for being cruel?" Ji Tianci used the word "senior" for the first time to Nangong Lie.

"You are a strong man, you can naturally understand me, you are just too young and self-willed now. There were sages in the past, and their ideas maintained the stability and prosperity of the country, and I believe that the true sages should think more about the survival of the entire human race. ”

"Is it a sage to start a war?"

War is only a means, a radical means, and it is just as risky, even to the end of humanity. Even if there are no careerists to start a war, war will inevitably come, behind stability and prosperity is the loss of ecological resources, human beings will wage war for the last resources on the earth, then it is a war of self-destruction, we live too comfortably, lack a sense of urgency, resource crisis and not to mention, in case there are really higher life in this universe, when they come to the earth, will human beings not become poultry? You may think that the old man is unfounded, but there are indeed many traces of aliens on the earth, don't expect them to be pacifists, only if human beings continue to strengthen themselves, only when human beings become the masters of the entire universe, can we talk about peace again. ”

Ji Tianci's expression froze, "Traces of aliens?"

"This is confidential information, and I can't tell you about it right now. ”

Nangong Lie saw Ji Tianci's solemn expression, and chuckled again: "You don't have to take it too seriously, maybe they will come to the earth after ten thousand years, and maybe those "traces" are fake at all." ”

"No, they might be coming. ”

Nangong Lie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You really have the potential to become a saint, and you will even worry about these unwarranted things." Having said that, you did amaze the old man, the first time I saw you, you were just an E-level transcendent, the second time I saw you, you have mastered the artifact, and you also have D-level strength, and now, you have reached the C-level, and you can reach the A-level level with the artifact, it is only less than a year, you can talk about heroes with my peers, the old man is ashamed of himself, although my granddaughter is talented, but compared with you, it is still a lot worse, only the Mai girl makes people wonder, is she really a god?"

Nangong Lie's last sentence seemed to be asking himself, and it seemed to be asking Ji Tianci, everyone understood that Mai's relationship with Ji Tianci in the future was not ordinary, and these two people were both geniuses, is there any way to do it, not only Nangong Lie wanted to know why they were so strong, but every transcendent who was eager to become stronger wanted to know.
