Chapter 10: Right and Wrong, Sin and Light

Tianxun looked at the strange dark green liquid on the table that was bubbling and bubbling, thought carefully for a moment, and decided to pour a little into the cup first and observe it carefully.

However, as the drop of dark green liquid fell into the cup, the rather crude but absolutely sturdy porcelain cup suddenly hissed, and a wisp of pale green smoke slowly floated up, gradually condensing into a dark green skeleton, which made people shudder.

Cheonhoon was silent, for some reason, he seemed to hear a high-pitched female voice saying strange words such as "add a little poisonous mushroom and an old heel", but there was no woman in his room, so it could only be an auditory hallucination.

So Tianxun was still staring at the bottle of potion and the dark green droplets tumbling in the porcelain cup, and his brow furrowed.

As an ordinary "street performer", Tianxun only recognized some relatively common herbs, so he naturally couldn't guess the ingredients of this potion that "belonged to the Demon Protector" at this time, but even without thinking, he could easily guess that Mo Yan took himself to this abandoned castle and taught himself how to practice the Demon Soul naturally not to poison himself, so no matter what, this potion should not be poisonous.

But again, he didn't have the courage to take a sip and use it to see if it tasted like it was really non-toxic and harmless, and might even be of great benefit to himself.

Of course, what Tianxun didn't know was that the color of this potion was actually supposed to be light blue, and there should be a little emerald green in it, emitting a faint and slightly cyan airflow, with a refreshing fragrance.

At least that's how the potion is described in the books.

But for some unspeakable reason, the potion has become what it is now as if it was highly poisonous.

It's not okay to keep staring at this potion, not to mention that this potion, there are no eyes for Tianxun to stare at, if you have to stare at it, it's better to just stare in the mirror, at least the guy in the mirror will definitely stare at himself fiercely.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind to die, after praying to the goddess of wealth with the most sincere prayer in his life, he pinched his nose tightly and drank the medicine bottle.

In the next moment, it was as if he had gone to the kingdom of God.

A blast that rushed straight to his head exploded like that, rushing to all the limbs, to every nerve, this feeling was indescribable, and at a certain moment, he even felt that he had broken through the so-called senses, felt another world, he seemed to see countless gold coins, saw mountains of gems, and even saw the goddess of wealth smiling at him.

As a result, Cheonhoon fell straight backwards.

Wang Tianyu frowned slightly when he heard the heavy muffled sound coming from the next room, but he didn't put down the book in his hand, his eyes became more and more greedy as he scanned the words on the scroll, like a fox who hadn't eaten a chicken for hundreds of years.

There is no doubt that the Holy Light Doctrine has been passed down to this day, and the Holy Light Church has been able to develop to this extent, naturally not only because of the operation of the Church, but also because the Holy Light itself has unique advantages, and the divine arts are quite effective.

No one remembers who was the first to successfully call for the Light, but in the beginning, the Church of the Light had not yet been founded, and the users of the Light did not have the status difference between the so-called "priests" and "paladins", nor did they need to abide by the strict rules as they do now, and the brilliant Light naturally did not have such a complicated use as it does today.

In the dark world, to ignite the light of holiness, to protect oneself, to protect one's companions, and to dispel the darkness and those corrupted by chaos is the most primitive doctrine of the Holy Light.

Therefore, Hua Luo said that the so-called divine brilliance is sunshine.

But that was only the first Light.

After thousands of years of development, the Light has become the purest Light, that is, the purest order.

At this moment, Wang Tianyu was simulating the basic skills of every holy light system on this heavy book, his face was pale, the fine beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down, and the holy light in his body was squeezed out again, and his eyes turned black for a while, and he was almost about to fall like this.

He didn't care what he was, he didn't care what his future would be, but he needed strength more than anyone else, and he craved power more than anyone else.

Because he wants to protect his most cherished sister, the loveliest duck in the world.

If possible, he hoped that he could even become an emperor himselfβ€”an emperor who was qualified to talk to the gods and didn't need to look at the faces of the gods.

This is Wang Tianyu's simplest wish.

At this moment, the door of Wang Tianyu's room was suddenly knocked, and Wang Tianyu's eyes were still black, his legs were so weak that he couldn't help trembling, naturally he didn't have the strength to get up and open the door, so he could only say with a weak wry smile: "Please come in." ”

The reason why this kind of honorific is used is because Wang Tianyu clearly knows that if the person who comes is a duck, I am afraid that she will push the door directly into the house, throw herself directly into her arms and hang on her neck, and it will be difficult for her to get off herself.

What's more, she and Hua Luo have hidden "that incident" from her for so long, I'm afraid she is still messing with herself at this time, and she won't come to see her for a while, right?

However, unexpectedly, the person who slowly pushed open the door and walked into the room was indeed Cheng Ye, who "didn't know each other" Wang Tianyu.

"Huh?" Wang Tianyu subconsciously wanted to get his war hammer, but at this time, he was extremely weak and couldn't pick up the war hammer that was not light, so he had to smile awkwardly: "What are you doing?"

Cheng Ye slowly closed the door with a very serious expression: "I think you and I always have a grudge against each other, but no matter what, since you and I have become companions now, I am afraid that the result of this kind of sharing bed and sleeping in the same bed but sharing different dreams will only be the same room and ending up together, so I want to explain some things to you, what do you think?"

Wang Tianyu looked at Cheng Ye and sneered, "Then you say come and listen?"

Cheng Ye didn't seem to care about Wang Tianyu's extremely indifferent mocking attitude, pointed to a simple chair in the corner of the room, and asked, "Can I sit?"

Wang Tianyu nodded, and replied with a smile: "You are at your own convenience." ”

So Cheng Ye stretched out his hand and pulled over the chair and sat down, his expression was still extremely serious: "I know that you have a grudge against me, and I also know that you think I am burdened with countless sins, so I decided to tell you my secret, and I hope you can keep it secret for me." ”

Wang Tianyu's expression also became serious, and he even reached out to make a peculiar posture on his chest, and said to Cheng Ye: "I swear to you in the name of the God of Holy Light, I will never reveal your secret to anyone. ”

"That's good," Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he had met Zhao Qianyu briefly before coming here to see Wang Tianyu, and naturally he had already asked the pale-faced little fat man about what the pale-faced oath of the paladin meant, so he whispered to Wang Tianyu, "Actually, your guess is not wrong, because my demon soul itself is a sin." ”

Wang Tianyu was shocked when he heard this, but his shocked look quickly withdrew, but he looked at Cheng Ye curiously as if he was looking at some cherished and protected animal, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "No wonder this is the case, no wonder I wanted to judge you the first moment I saw you." ”

"In other words, you guy, you haven't actually committed any heinous crimes?"

Cheng Ye looked at Wang Tianyu, smiled bitterly, and nodded.

"It's really hard for you, with such an intolerable demon soul, to be able to live until now. Wang Tianyu's smile finally softened, and he reached out and gently patted Cheng Ye's shoulder.

"Don't make such jokes," Cheng Ye smiled bitterly twice and waved his hand at Wang Tianyu, "I just came to you to ask you, what do you think...... What exactly is sin?"

Wang Tianyu frowned slightly, as if he was holding back the answer he wanted to say directly, and after thinking carefully, he replied, "It's unjust, it's not upright, and, uh, it's against the law, right?"

Cheng Ye continued to smile bitterly and said to Wang Tianyu, "I have the same answer as you, but that guy Mo Yan told me that the so-called sin refers to the behavior that violates moral norms or the state of committing such behavior to the detriment of the interests of others. ”

Wang Tianyu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This answer is really literary. ”

"Yes," Cheng Ye shook his head as well, and began to recall what Mo Yan had taught him in that valley, about sin...... Some understanding.

"There are seven original sins in this world, and anger is one of them, but this does not mean that anger is an emotion that should not exist, in fact, anger is one of the necessary elements of human existence.

When a person is angry, the muscles of the whole body tense and prepare to enter the combat state, and of course, the combat effectiveness will also be improved. In this way, when man fights wild beasts, when he fights enemies, anger has its meaning.

Moreover, the forbearance of the wrongdoer is a kind of indulgence, and at this time, the person should be angry and should want to teach him some lesson. β€œ

Cheng Ye opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

"And arrogance comes from rank - just like the demon protector is always so arrogant to ordinary people, and the official master is always so high to the commoners, all from the gap in rank.

In the beginning, everyone was equal, but gradually, people were divided into three, six, nine, and so on, so that the person who stood on the high place used to look down on the lower and regarded the existence below him as a ridiculous and lowly thing inferior to him.

However, the right amount of arrogance is self-confidence, which is the self-identity necessary to climb the heights. β€œ

Cheng Ye is thinking, he is thinking very seriously, thinking about it this way, in a sense, jealousy and arrogance are opposite concepts, arrogance is the superior's contempt and contempt for the inferior, and jealousy is the subordinate's desire to become the superior, as long as there are class and individual differences in this world, jealousy is probably inevitable, at least, the kind of "unwillingness" after being surpassed by the same kind is everyone's own.

There may be a small number of people who have resentment and even do evil deeds against people who are better than themselves in terms of talent, status, reputation, knowledge, wealth, and situation, but for the sake of those who are ahead of them, I am afraid that there is no one who does not want to try to surpass, right?

Even if it's himself, he wants to surpass Zhao Qianyu or Han Ling these days, doesn't he?

Fools will only ignore the talent of the other party and the sacrifices and efforts made to achieve their goals, turning jealousy into a flame of slander and attacking the other party. And the wise man who maintains this strong "unwillingness" turns his jealousy into a whip that lashes himself. But they can also analyze the strengths and advantages of the other party, find ways to imitate, learn, and supplement their own shortcomings.

Mo Yan looked at the contemplative Cheng Ye and added, "The seven original sins are arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust, each of which has its own positive and negative meanings. ”

Cheng Ye suddenly sighed and bowed deeply, but suddenly remembered Wang Tianyu's words last night, and asked respectfully: "Those people in the church said that it is sinful not to believe, this is ......?"

Mo Yan didn't wait for Cheng Ye to finish speaking, and took a sip of disdain, "Those pastors thought that people would not have faith to restrain their behavior, but they never thought that people's beliefs were not necessarily gods. ”

Cheng Ye looked at Mo Yan with a shocked expression, didn't speak, just listened to Mo Yan continue to take care of himself: "There are always people who say that the people of the Tianluo Empire have no faith, so they act unscrupulously and without scruples, but they have never thought that the biggest problem with this kind of 'unbelief is sin' is that when it uses the word 'faith', it uses faith in a broad sense, including social morality, ancestral sustenance, and even pragmatism, while when judging 'whether there is one', it uses 'religious belief' in a narrow sense , but most civilians don't read and don't think well, so they will fall for it to change the concept. ”

Cheng Ye was silent for a long time and couldn't say a word, thinking faintly as if he had caught something but couldn't be sure, and finally could only silently sigh in his heart that Mo Yan was probably from the aristocratic background of the Tianluo Empire.

After all, it is rumored that the people of the Tianluo Empire, although they also respect the gods, have never believed in the gods.

"What you want to say is ......" Wang Tianyu looked at Cheng Ye, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and said softly and slowly:

"If sin has both positive and negative effects, then light should also be accompanied by darkness, right?"
