Volume 4 The War of the Heavens and Gods Chapter 2
The power of faith can't be too much, this Qin Yingwu is understandable, after all, this will make the cultivator dependent on it and hinder his cultivation, and not only will his lifelong strength stagnate and he will not be able to make any more progress, but he will even be mixed with the power of faith like that "Loki" by emotions, memory brainwashing, and even physiological abnormalities. But......
If it was said that the refusal to absorb the power of faith was to cultivate independently and thus cultivate better, Qin Yingwu remembered—if his own memories and other people's paraphrases were not wrong—it seemed that his own master had been at this strength a long time ago. In addition, Shizun even came up with various ways to deal with those "excess mana".
Qin Yingwu didn't understand, because Yang Jian's current approach was simply a contradiction. Or is his starting point wrong?
It's not just that people don't want to become dependent on external forces in their cultivation, but they don't want to continue cultivating at all?
"You're thinking too much. With the strength of Yang Jian's divine sense, he could read Qin Yingwu's thoughts without much effort.
Yang Jian looked at Dao Ancestor who was fanning the fire.
"This baby has a good heart, very good, very good. ”
Taishang Dao Ancestor's voice was very kind, like an old man who teased his grandson and raised his old age.
Very good.
Yang Jian snapped his fingers, since Shi Bozu acquiesced, then he had no scruples, and immediately spoke: "It's not that I don't want to be holy, I just want to be free." ”
"Freedom?" After Qin Yingwu heard Yang Jian's explanation, a familiar sense of opportunity surged in his brain.
"They have all stepped into the Holy Realm and become a Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal, so it's not just doing whatever they want, will they be free there?"
Faced with Qin Yingwu's question, Yang Jian did not answer it immediately, but raised a new question: "What are we cultivating for?"
"Immortal?" Qin Yingwu blinked, feeling that he had no confidence, because for an existence like Yang Jian, unless it was caused by external forces, theoretically speaking, he was an immortal existence. At the same time, Qin Yingwu vomited in his heart again-even if he died, the king of Hades probably didn't want to accept it!
"How did you learn "Getaway"?" Yang Jian directly ignored Qin Yingwu's thoughts.
"Uh...... Although it has always been the scarecrow left by you, Master, to complete my studies for me, this article is something I have memorized. Speaking of this, Qin Yingwu seemed to raise his head proudly: "Master, don't underestimate the endorsement ability of college entrance examination candidates!"
"Virtue!" Yang Jian rolled his eyes, and then continued, "Then let me ask you, if you are given a chance to live forever, but you are imprisoned for the rest of your life, are you willing?"
"That'...... What's the matter?"
As soon as the words of "I ......" came out, Yang Jian felt that his three corpse gods jumped violently, and the Dao Ancestor on the side laughed unabashedly.
Yang Jian thought about it and felt that it was better to follow his train of thought: "Then what if you are allowed to work as a coolie all the time and uninterrupted twenty-four hours a day?"
"Oh my God!" Qin Yingwu immediately shook his head into a rattle, "It's terrifying!"
"Then let me ask you again, what does Zhuang Zhou think is 'free'?"
"Well...... Is it 'nothing to fear'?"
"You're right. Kunpeng swayed upwards and Liezi walked in the wind, they seemed to be very carefree, but they all relied on the wind, and they all relied on external forces, which could not be regarded as real leisure. ”
After hearing this, Qin Yingwu thought of something, but he always felt that there was something wrong: "Master, do you mean that our cultivation is with the help of external forces?"
"That's right. To be precise, it's 'something to be ashamed' of. The so-called 'man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature'. What we cultivators rely on is nothing else, the Tao, or in other words, the law itself that supports the natural operation of all things in the heavens and the earth. ”
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he saw Qin Yingwu's sluggish face, and his brows furrowed.
"But Master, is there anything wrong with this? Aren't we cultivators themselves pursuing 'attaining enlightenment'?"
Qin Yingwu subconsciously opened his mouth wide, and his intuition told him that what Yang Jian said next was likely to peak his cognition.
His hunch was right.
Yang Jian then spoke: "We are all pursuing the Dao, but on the other hand, this Dao is also restricting us, we cultivate the Dao, even if we have no flaws in ourselves, others can also start from the Dao, so as to find your weaknesses and even dead ends." In this way, you are constrained everywhere, and you have to practice hard and live carefully, what is there to enjoy?"
"Oh!" Qin Yingwu slapped his thigh, "I understand, it's like you, a warrior who brushed the boss for a day, but was robbed of his head by a mage and angrily looked for him PK." Although you didn't know that there was such a person before, and you didn't know about his playing habits, you knew the weaknesses of the mage profession and designed a targeted playing style, which has nothing to do with him himself, but the setting of the system itself!"
“……”
"What's wrong with you, Master, isn't what I said right?"
"No, I just think that no matter how complicated the problem is, being explained by you is like a joke, and in a way, you are a talent. ”
Yang Jian coughed and continued: "But your understanding is not wrong, as a mage, you can train for your own shortcomings, but you can only weaken the impact of your shortcomings on you and not erase him—of course, some kryptonite games don't count—because that's the setting of the rules of the game itself." ”
"This," Qin Yingwu's voice trembled a little, because he felt that his words were too bold, "Master, do you want to separate from the Dao?"
