Volume 1 Chapter 48 (I)
Seeing that Wei was dumb and unresponsive, Satan's thin shoulders shrugged and walked to the dungeon: "Don't pretend to be dumb, come with me, Abel, let's talk for a while." β
Beside the calciner of the dungeon, the flames were quietly quenching, and the panicked faces of the captives were frozen for a moment. Satan walked in front of them, his lazy eyes under his eyebrows admiring the panic, and praised: "Abel, you see, this fear is the truest performance. β
Still silent.
Satan took a thin breath at the tip of his nose, put his hands in the pockets of his white suit, and slowly sat down in front of the air.
A white Western-dining chair immediately appeared below him.
Satan pursed his lips and frowned, shaking his head and looking at Wei for a long time.
"Do you really have no questions to ask me?"
"You're still mad at me, please, I'll admit it, it was my mistake to send you here, butβLin Long is an unplanned variable after all. β
β......β
Satan's hand pulled out of his pocket, propped his forehead in distress, and a white round table appeared out of thin air in front of him. There is an empty goblet on either side.
"Have a drink. β
Wei Mubai learned from Satan, sat down in front of the air, and sure enough, he also sat firmly on the white chair that appeared again.
From the bottom to the top of the empty glass, the dark red liquor flowed out, like a spring spitting water, and stopped at the third of the way.
Satan raised his glass: "Let us saluteβwhat shall we salute?"
Wei Mubai clamped the goblet between his two fingers, shook it slightly, and said nothing.
Satan took a sip and said, "Assasin is so sinful that there will be no angels to guide him after death, and he will come to our hell." β
Wei Mubai was moved by this sentence and looked at Satan at the table.
"For such a grave sin, the soul will be tortured to a very miserable degree. But if you're willing to talk to me, I'll let him go. β
Wei Mubai drank the wine and said, "Is the soul of this world also under your control?"
Finally pried open Wei's dumb mouth, Satan rejoiced: "No, I can't rule over any soul, judgment, is the duty of the angels." β
"Devil, angel...... Ha ha...... In what form do you all exist, are you alien advanced beings, or are you energy bodies?"
"It's going to be a bit idealistic, what do you think you just drank?"
"Red wine. β
"Why?"
β...... Because it's the taste of red wine. β
"That's it, your feelings tell you that the liquid you're drinking is red wine. If I tell you that you drink my blood, you will question it, you will call me for playing with you, but you are drinking my blood. β
Wei Mubai frowned and looked at the cup, looking at the blood-red liquid inside.
"I don't believe it. β
"Haha, sure enough. Satan stretched out his hands and said, "The so-called gods and ghosts are the same, and you will not believe anything I say, because your [feelings] have blinded you." I'm sure you also know a scientific common sense that the degree of development of the human brain is only 1% in your world. You can only experience the world with your five senses, but the tools to explore the world limit your realm. β
"So, the materialism we profess to talk about is actually the opposite, and is the result of idealism caused by being limited by [feeling] and [knowledge]?"
"You understand very quickly. β
Satan took another sip of wine: "Wei Mubai, I want to talk to you about three issues. β
"You have so many tricks. β
"It's just a few old questions, but I often talk and debate with my comrades, with my opponents, with myself. That is faith, good and evil, and seduction. β
Faith, good and evil, temptation.
Wei Mubai asked, "Is there a steak, I'm hungry." β
Satan snapped his fingers, "As you wish." β
The steaming medium-rare steak was placed on the table at some point, and Wei had a scarf on his chest and a pair of silver knives and forks in his hands, which he hadn't noticed until just now.
"It's very simple, you distort your beliefs, you pervert good and evil, and you are good at seducing. β
"It's not interesting to jump to conclusions so early. Let me start with this alien world as an example, the three religions of the Central Plains, namely Confucianism, Taoism, Taoism, Taoism and Han Buddhism, are all beliefs with a strong atmosphere in the Central Plains, while Xiwulin believes in God, or, there are some people who are willing to follow me. Who is right and who is wrong with these beliefs?"
"What's right and what's wrong?"
"Or ask, which ones are true and which ones are false?"
"That's very simple, you invite all the gods and Buddhas to fight, and whoever wins is right. β
"Interesting answer. But I'd like to hear something serious. β
"Let's look at history. Wei Dubai toyed with his knife and fork and cut off a small piece of steak. "When Buddhism first became popular, it was regarded as a kind of Taoism in history, in addition to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Lao Tzu turned into Hu, Guanyin entered the Buddha from the Tao, and was transformed by the Cihang Taoist, which is a typical example. The first Chinese sect of Buddhism, Tiantai Sect, is actually the product of the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, and the founder Zhiyi proposed the method of stopping the practice of meditation and double luck, which requires the adjustment of diet, sleep, body, breathing and psychology before practice, which integrates Taoist cultivation techniques. Tiantai Mountain is known as the 'source of Buddhism'. As for Buddhism and Confucianism, although there was a huge conflict in the early days, but when Buddhism culture spread, it often used Confucianism to 'Geyi', taking one of the biggest conflicts between Buddhism and Confucianism, for example, the Buddhist system of being born and becoming a monk obviously violated the ethical guidelines of Confucianism, that is, the historical [Shamen disrespects the king dispute], but when the Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Huiyuan answered this kind of question, he said that [the weight of the inner obedience to the heavens, but not against its filial piety; the outer Que is respectful to the Lord, but does not lose its respect], but said that the loyalty of the birth and the filial piety of the birth are great loyalty and filial piety. The relationship between Confucianism and Taoism is more intimate, [Confucianism and Taoism complement each other] has been a topic since ancient times, and "Zhou Yi" is a classic that both Confucianism and Taoism serve together. Wei Mubai came out of his mouth and talked endlessly.
"You conclude that these beliefs are all right. β
Wei Mubai shook his head: "No." My view is that the so-called faith is not in fact immutable, and the three religions are one, and this breathtaking historical phenomenon is a good illustration of this point. β
"Faith is not static, haha...... Do you know that if you say this, you will be burned to death in the Holy See? β
"That's just my opinion, I don't mean to spread it. β
But if faith can change, that in itself is a contradiction. β
"What's the matter with the contradiction, matter and wave-particle duality. Wei put down his knife and fork.
Satan touched the glass and said, "This answer of yours is very special. β
"But what I don't understand is that if you really exist, then the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon of Buddhism, the Origin of Taoism and the immortals of all walks of life, are they also real?"
"You're still shallow after all. Satan raised his finger and added Wei Mubai and his own wine: "You humans like to cling to truth and falsehood, and these things are actually not important at all. β
"It doesn't even matter if you're real?"
"That's right. Satan laughed, "Why do people want me to be the devil because my power makes them fearful, but is my power really great? Wei Dubai, you just said that you were going to beat me, if you can really make a move, you can reach more than that. β
Wei Mubai seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
"Now let's talk about good and evil. β
β...... Why are you talking to me about this? β
Satan said thoughtfully, "Because few people's answers satisfy me." I hope that the more you know, the less boring I will be. β
"Good and evil, what is there to talk about?"
"Good is right, evil is wrong, do you think this judgment is right? β
"Yes. β
