The power and demonic qi of the Heavenly Dao were actually the same in Zhou Longcheng's eyes, but they controlled the world in a different way.

Such an assertion is indeed something that Zhou You had never thought of before.

But no matter how shocking Zhou Longcheng's idea is, it is impossible for Zhou You to believe it immediately after hearing it.

"You said that the Heavenly Dao consumes the will of human beings in order to control human beings...... This assertion directly equates the Heavenly Dao with those demonic qi. ”

Zhou You looked at Zhou Longcheng and said, "Do you have any evidence?"

Zhou Longcheng said: "If I want to prove it directly, I can't do it now...... But I can get some circumstantial evidence. As for what you choose to believe, it's up to you to make your own judgment. ”

Zhou You hurriedly said: "Circumstantial evidence?

Zhou Longcheng said lightly: "About the formation of demonic qi. ”

Hearing this, Zhou You couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Why did you go back to the original topic? The formation of demonic qi was not discussed just now...... It is made by gathering the obsessions of the world. ”

"That's right...... But not comprehensively. ”

Zhou Longcheng said: "What is obsession, have you thought about it?"

This......

Zhou You suddenly felt that this question was a bit of a problem.

For example, you know that one plus one equals two.

But it's hard for you to prove why one plus one equals two.

What the word obsession means, as long as you have studied the language, everyone can understand one or two.

But if you have to be detailed and give an official explanation, it will be difficult to travel around for a while.

Zhou Longcheng said: "Very simply, obsession can be explained as some strong human feelings. ”

Zhou You frowned and thought for a while, and said to Zhou Longcheng: "You can say that, it's okay." ”

Zhou Longcheng said: "The strong feelings of human beings come together to form demonic qi and become human desires. ”

"And when ordinary people are tainted by these desires, they will fall into demons, want to get everything, and thus lose their minds and be controlled by demonic energy. ”

"This is the origin of demonic energy, I explain it like this, can you accept it, or do you agree?"

Zhou You didn't speak, but he still nodded, roughly agreeing with Zhou Long's current statement.

But Zhou You remained silent, that is, he maintained a certain amount of skepticism about Zhou Longcheng's words.

Zhou Longcheng continued: "Then according to this calculation, the so-called demonic qi is actually the seven emotions and six desires of human beings!"

"When the seven emotions and six desires come together and produce qualitative changes, they will stimulate human desires and thus enter demons...... But in essence, demonic energy is human emotion!"

Hearing Zhou Longcheng's words, Zhou You finally realized that something was wrong.

"What did you say?"

Zhou You looked at Zhou Longcheng in disbelief: "You say that demonic qi is the seven emotions and six desires of human beings?

Zhou Longcheng nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I mean......"

Zhou You frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be that if you want to completely eliminate the demonic qi of the deep-sea sealed land, there will also be a steady stream of demonic qi...... Unless humanity dies out completely? no, all intelligent beings disappear!"

Speaking of this, Zhou You suddenly realized a certain problem, and looked at Zhou Longcheng with some incredulity: "What do you mean, is it ......?"

Zhou Longcheng nodded: "That's right, it seems that you have realized the core of the problem: in the eyes of Heavenly Dao, human beings are also hindering his existence!"

"Only when human beings completely disappear can the Heavenly Dao completely control everything in the world...... Therefore, once those demonic qi in the Deep Sea Sealed Land completely disappears, it is time for the power of the Heavenly Dao to strike at the human race!"

When Zhou You heard Zhou Longcheng's words, he was a little frightened: The most essential purpose of the Heavenly Dao is to destroy the human race?

This method makes Zhou You feel very incredible.

Zhou You looked at Zhou Longcheng in disbelief: "Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

"At least that's what I think," Zhou said. In fact, you can think about it carefully: human beings have wisdom, and they begin to say that people will conquer the heavens, this is a challenge to the dignity of the Heavenly Dao, do you think the Heavenly Dao can endure it?"

"This ......"

Zhou You did start to waver a little.

Zhou Longcheng continued: "With wisdom, human beings have begun to want to control not only their own destiny, but also other people. ”

"Throughout the history of human development, it has especially come to this point: human beings began to breed wild beasts and domesticate wild beasts. In order to develop at a high speed, plundering the resources of the environment, and for sustainable development, we began to protect the environment. ”

"This series of developments is simply simulating the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Human beings are not the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, nor are they the spokespersons of the Heavenly Dao, but they are exercising the power of the Heavenly Dao. For the Heavenly Dao, the human race wants to replace the Heavenly Dao!"

"Just like you did before when you restrained the four major families: the four major families are in your hands, and they have begun to grow savagely, especially after the false destruction, who else can deal with the four major families?"

"But you realize that if the four major families are too inflated, their desires will also grow unlimitedly, so that they may evolve into demonic qi and completely lose their minds, so you restrict the four major families. ”

Hearing Zhou Longcheng's words, Zhou You smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to even know about this matter......

But think about it carefully, when Zhou You restricted the four major families at that time, the Qilin had always been in contact with Zhou You, although he was far away in the ghost market.

With the Qilin's ability to reach the sky, it is not difficult to know the original actions of Zhou You.

Zhou Longcheng asked Zhou You again: "You have restricted the development of the four major families, but you have not deprived them of their current strength...... But if it were to be a Heavenly Dao, do you think Heavenly Dao would do that?"

This issue was also discussed with Liu Feixu before Zhou You.

Therefore, Zhou You said without hesitation: "The dragons have no leader, the world is lucky!" The four major families are too presumptuous, so if it is the means of the Heavenly Dao, they will destroy the four major families without hesitation!"

Zhou Longcheng said with a smile: "That's right, your restriction of the four major families is equivalent to 'acting for the heavens', but it is different from the means of the real heavens: you still retain a lot of leeway." ”

"Therefore, when you were exercising the power of the Heavenly Dao, there was a disagreement with the will of the Heavenly Dao...... Do you think Heavenly Dao can endure this kind of thing?"

Hearing Zhou Longcheng's words, Zhou You was speechless.

Zhou Longcheng continued: "Therefore, the Heavenly Dao does not allow intelligent beings to appear, and from this point of view, it is inevitable that the Heavenly Dao will make a move against human beings!"

"It's just that because of the existence of those demonic qi in the Deep Sea Sealed Land, it also has a great hindrance effect on the Heavenly Dao, so the Heavenly Dao can tolerate the development of human beings until now. ”

"But if you advance to the saint realm and completely purify those demonic qi at the bottom of the sea, it will also be the time for the destruction of the human race!"

Hearing Zhou Longcheng's words, Zhou You suddenly remembered what the ancient sages said:

It is the rule of a saint, who is humble in his heart, solid in his belly, weak in his will, and strong in his bones; it often makes the people ignorant and desireless, so that the wise do not dare to do it.

This passage is from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.

The gist is almost the sage to rule the world, weaken the mind of the world, let the world have a full stomach, weaken the will of the world, and strengthen the muscles and flesh of the world.

In this way, when the people are satisfied, they will be able to have no desires and no desires, and the world will be able to rule without doing anything.

In the past, Zhou You would feel that this passage was just an argument for Lao Tzu to explain the rule of inaction.

But now that he heard Zhou Longcheng's words, Zhou You read another meaning from this passage:

Let the people be fed and strong, but they will deprive them of the ability to think......

If that's the case, then what's the difference between humans and beasts?

As long as you have a full stomach, you can have no desires and no desires, isn't this a beast?

So the way of heaven wants to destroy all intelligent beings, and only needs to have no thoughts, only to eat the beasts with a full stomach?

Thinking of this, Zhou You suddenly believed Zhou Longcheng's words.

Zhou You smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Longcheng: "After listening to what you said so much, I suddenly found that my understanding of the Tao Te Ching has changed dramatically. ”

Taoism has always been a favorite school of thought.

Compared with Buddhism, Christ Jesus and the like are closer to Taoism.

It's not Taoism because of the local Chinese school.

It is the Taoist kind of quiet and inaction, indisputable thinking with the world, and a very well-traveled nature.

Even if Zhou You went to join the army when he was just an adult, joined Longwei, and fought in all directions.

But Zhou You knows that his temperament is still a little lazy.

If you can, you just want to live a peaceful life, just like those hermits of Taoism.

Zhou You has come to this point, to a large extent, he has been forced to be helpless......

But now listening to what Zhou Longcheng said, Zhou You can no longer look directly at the Tao Te Ching.

Because in the Tao Te Ching, many ideas are revealed, including the unkindness of heaven and earth and the unkindness of all things as dogs, and the unkindness of saints and the unkindness of the people as dogs.

These wise sayings may be all used by the Heavenly Dao to consume the will of human beings!

No matter how much you want to be quiet and do nothing, you never want to let your consciousness disappear completely!

No matter how much you have no quarrel with the world, you don't want to become a beast that only knows how to be hungry!

Zhou You said to Zhou Longcheng with a wry smile: "Hearing you say this, it is estimated that I can only read Zhuangzi's "Nanhua Jing" in the future, and Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" is estimated that I will not be able to read it." ”

Zhou Longcheng said with a smile: "It's not my descendants, and the taste is similar to mine." Lao Tzu's morality is close to the way of heaven, but it is Zhuangzi's Nanhua Sutra, which has a wonderful imagination and is more humane, and I also like Zhuangzi more. ”

Zhou You shook his head helplessly and did not continue on this topic...... Comparing Zhou You's not doing anything with Zhou Longcheng to do anything about literary appreciation.

Zhou Longcheng's face suddenly became very serious, and he looked at Zhou You: "I told you everything I wanted to say...... What choices do you make next?"

Zhou You hesitated for a while, but still said to Zhou Longcheng: "The choice I made...... I'm going to believe you for a while!"
