I was stunned for a moment, then nodded quietly, looking at the starry sky and not making a sound.

She opened her mouth, and when she saw my expression, she closed it again.

I roughly guessed what she meant, this young lady may have a little bit of meaning to me!

This made me feel happy in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of the words of the fortune teller: "You are the overlord life, also known as the life of the sky, and the fate of the lonely ......"

Although I don't believe in such a thing as fate, I don't want to take risks and hurt others, so it's better to keep my distance!

Ye Qianmiao was quiet for a while, then turned her head and asked, "You say...... Are there really ghosts in this world?"

I asked, "What about you, do you believe in ghosts?"

She was puzzled: "I was assigned to the Wushi Public Security Criminal Investigation Team as an intern in college, and I have been working in the command center because I know some computer communications...... Later, Captain Wang and the others came, and I was transferred to the task force, and sometimes I heard them mention ghosts, evil ways, or something...... I don't quite believe it, but they don't ...... like a joke."

"Do you think there are really ghosts, are all ghosts bad?"

I chuckled as I listened, lit a cigarette and said in my mouth:

"For ordinary people, real ghosts don't really exist!"

"Because if you met a real ghost, you would have entered the underworld a long time ago! Most of the ghostly supernatural events that you see now are just spirits condensed by yin qi after death, and they don't have soul intelligence, just a substance between heaven and earth!"

Ye Qianmiao asked again: "What about the monsters?"

I spit smoke rings at the stars in the night sky and said pleasantly:

"Demons are different from ghosts, and instead of seeing demons as evil creatures, it is better to say that they are somewhat similar to humans!"

"All things in the world are born in chaos, and all living creatures can be called demons when they have spiritual intelligence!

"Actually, what we are looking for is not whether there are ghosts, gods, or demons, but because human beings have occupied most of the survival resources of this planet, and we don't want other things to share with them!"

Ye Qianmiao looked at me with wide eyes, as if she was looking at aliens, and she said in surprise:

"You...... Why are you so intrusive? It seems to ...... Anyway, we are emotional, intellectual, intelligent, and civilized...... Aren't youkai bad?"

I extinguished the cigarette, crossed my arms and said calmly: "Demons and monsters are just a name given to them by their predecessors, and people have a subjective consciousness of alien rejection from the moment they are born...... This Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will never allow a certain species to occupy it for a long time!"

Ye Qianmiao listened thoughtfully.

I continued: "I remember a famous person who said: The most invisible, one is the sun, and the other is the human heart!"

"Actually, whether it is a ghost or a demon, it is just used by people, their essence is always a substance between heaven and earth, there is no good or bad, good or evil, some are just instincts!"

"When people are extremely hungry, they will eat soil, grass, and even their own kind! Our civilization and reason have only accumulated a very small and thin layer, and compared with the animal instinct of human beings, the vast majority of people will always win when they encounter the decision of life and death!"

"I'll give you an analogy, a person who is very hungry, he may be of high character and good character, his education and his own character may prevent him from eating his own kind, but after making one choice after another, hunger will leave him with only two choices: death or eat his own kind!"

"Although humans are highly intelligent beings, they have not evolved to the point where they can completely control their desires. And people lose consciousness when they are extremely hungry, maybe they won't eat their relatives and lovers, but can you guarantee that they won't eat others?"

"He's been blamed for eating his kind, but it's his instinct, so can you be sure he's a bad guy?"

Ye Qianmiao thought about it, and finally shook her head with difficulty.

"So he's just going to die?" I asked, turning my head.

Ye Qianmiao thought about it again and said, "This is too extreme, isn't it?

I laughed and said, "Of course you can in reality! But in extreme environments, this is human nature! That's why we need to live in groups!"

"But what I'm talking about is the confrontation between human nature and instinct! People are often unwilling to face their true nature, dare not deeply analyze themselves, and when faced with only two choices: death and stealing, we can always find many reasons and excuses to cover up our animal instincts!"

Ye Qianmiao was a little depressed when she heard this.

I looked at the starry sky and said: "Although civilization is good, it is difficult to enter the hearts of the people! Time is always the greatest test! But you don't have to feel discouraged, in the short history of mankind, the brilliance of human nature is not very rare, they still light the lamp of hope for us!"

"As for the good or bad of the ghosts, let me tell you a story, and you will understand......"

Ye Qianmiao nodded happily, she could see that the grand statement just now made her a little unbearable, and the point of view that came out of my mouth also made her a little difficult to accept!

......

Once upon a time, there was a man named Sang Yu, who made a living by chopping wood and logging all the year round, with a meager income and a hard life.

One day Sang Yu was chopping wood in a remote place in the countryside, and suddenly found a dying little snake lying on the ground, with its belly cut through its internal organs exposed, Sang Yu suddenly felt pity and took it into his arms and took it home.

After returning home, Sang Yu healed the little snake's injuries.

Within a few days, the snake's wound had crusted over and it was able to crawl and swim freely......

Since then, Sang Yu has been hiding from his father and family, reading with Little Snake, chopping wood, cooking, and catching fish...... One person and one snake accompany each other day and night, and the friendship is getting stronger.

It didn't take long for the little snake to grow up and like to play and play in the water, Sang Yu saw that its body was more than three feet long, and there was really no room for it at home, so he could only take the little snake to the pond in the village and let it live freely.

After a few months, when Sang Yu came back to feed the baby snake after a long trip, he found that it had completely changed its appearance: huge stag horns, sharp and slender eagle claws, the snake's tail covered with a layer of shiny scales, its eyes were black and shiny like pearls, and two catfish-like whiskers floated next to its mouth......

Sang Yu was shocked when he saw it, and then realized that the little snake was not a snake, but a dragon.

He was very worried that the villagers would find the little dragon and kill it as a monster, and he was also worried that the little dragon would grow bigger and bigger, and the pond would no longer be able to hold it. But Xiaolong has been with him for a long time, and Sang Yu is really reluctant to part with Xiaolong, so he has to continue to raise it like this.

One day of heavy rain, Sang Yu suddenly fell ill and did not go to the pond to feed the little dragon. In the afternoon, the village was suddenly full of people, and people were talking about a monster in the pond that had eaten one of the village's children.

Sang Yu was frightened out of her body when she heard this, and guessed in her heart that this must have been done by Xiaolong.

Sang Yu waited until evening, and then came to the pond with a firewood knife to question Xiaolong.

When the little dragon heard him call, he obediently revealed his figure, and seemed to know that the object he swallowed during the day was different from the usual food, and his friend was blaming him!

It arched its mouth and spat the child out completely.

Sang Yu hurriedly sent the child home, and then came to the pond again and cut off the tail of the little dragon with a firewood knife as punishment!

After this incident, Sang Yu realized that the little dragon could no longer stay in the pond, so he took the little dragon to the sea at night and told him for a long time before parting.

Later, Sang Yu's family suffered a great change, poor and had no rice to cook, Xiaolong found a lot of gold, silver and pearls from the sea to help him tide over the difficulties; Sang Yu was framed by gangsters and almost put in prison, or Xiaolong used magic to wash away his grievances......

The people in the village saw that Sangyu was living a worry-free life, and there were good things that the sensitive people found out the information of the little dragon and discussed with everyone, and everyone said that the little dragon was a demon, and there was already a premonition of eating people, and it must be eliminated if you can't raise a demon.

So when the villagers died in Sangyu, they invited many Taoist priests and capable people to set up a trap to capture the dragon, and when the little dragon mourned in front of Sangyu's grave, he caught it and peeled it and cramped, and broke the bones and scattered ashes......

"It's a simple story, but it contains answers to many questions!"

I looked at Ye Qianmiao, who could listen attentively, and said.

"The little dragon is a demon, it has been rescued by humans, it is coarse and intelligent, it does not harm friends and masters, but it still treats other humans as food, this nature is not right or wrong. ”

After Xiaolong spit out the child, he was cut off by Sang Yu, and paid the price for what he did, and later helped Sang Yu tide over the difficulties until he died of old age, Xiaolong, a monster, has a deep affection for friends, and in Sang Yu's eyes, it is a good friend and a good monster. ”

"But in the eyes of others, the little dragon is an alien, even if it returns the child it swallowed, moves from the pond to the sea to live, etc., it is not enough to hide the fear and hatred of people! They will not sit idly by and watch the little dragon live close to humans, even if it has not really been a party to the disaster......

We human beings are still absorbing all kinds of spiritual power in an attempt to fight against our own negativity, but unfortunately, ...... There are no results yet. ”

Ye Qianmiao pondered with her head sullen and didn't say anything for a long time.
