Chapter 789: Punishment

The man in white glanced at Zhang Yiyang, as if the anger and helplessness on the other party's face made him a little happy: "People climb up so hard and hard, just because they can have unreasonable qualifications because of their pursuit." ”

He pointed at Zhang Yiyang: "It's like you, you can be unreasonable in front of most people." ”

Zhang Yiyang was silent, and after a long while, he asked, "You're here to kill me?" ”

The man in white shook his head: "It's been a long, long time since I've killed someone, I went to Nanyan a while ago to meet the young man named Fang Jie, and I told him that I was just a spectator. It's just some unreasonable spectators, because I don't need your consent, I can watch it if I want, and I can enter your life casually. ”

Zhang Yiyang asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man in white drank the tea in the cup, and then poured it himself: "I am just a person who has been favored by chance to stay in the long river of time for a while, I once thought that I was bored, so I also thought about death, and even died, but after a long time, all kinds of feelings have faded, and only one kind of groping remains." ”

"Groping?"

Zhang Yiyang didn't understand.

The man in white smiled: "I came to you, not to kill you, but to see what is special about you." I've been looking at the rivers and lakes all these years, and seeing what is so special about those who are outstanding. Every successful person is different, and discovering these is good for me. ”

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Zhang Yiyang asked again.

"Want to ......"

The man in white sorted out the wording: "I want to see if there is any order and law in this world." Ordinary people think about how to live a better life and strive for tea, rice, oil and salt. The powerful think about how to be more powerful and fight for the world, because these are their needs. The reason why I watch one outstanding person after another struggle on the rivers and lakes is because that is my need. ”

Zhang Yiyang finally understood that the person opposite was a madman.

"So you don't think of yourself as a human being anymore."

He said.

The man in white smiled: "I'm no longer a person anymore, that's why what I think about will seem so illusory and unrealistic in the eyes of people." I look at you who are struggling and try to find order or law in it, and if I find this order or law, then I can try. ”

"Try to be a day?"

Zhang Yiyang suddenly felt that he was not afraid, he was really afraid when the man in white went up the mountain, because he thought of the master, the Taoist who thought he was the most personable in the world, but when he saw a person with more grace than himself, he was a poor worm who broke his Taoist heart. In fact, people are so pitiful, even if his master's cultivation is not the highest and highest in the rivers and lakes, it is enough to step on the rivers and lakes and tremble.

But such a person was ruined so easily and even absurdly.

So he was afraid, he was afraid that all this he had so hard won would be ruined so easily and absurdly.

But now he was not afraid, because he found that the obviously terrible person on the other side had completely detached himself from the concept of man. Zhang Yiyang understands why when a person reaches the height of the superlative, and there is no one in the target in front of him, the goal will become something else.

He has heard many such examples, there are big high-rollers in the rivers and lakes who think that the world is invincible, so they go to the north of Xinjiang to hike to the world's highest mountain, climb to the top of the mountain, and roar wildly, I am respectful, and then I am angry. Some people ran to the sea to search for the immortal mountain, thinking that they could leave the martial arts and enter the immortal path, but in the end, the bones were not only left anywhere. Some people become suspicious and suspicious after cultivating to a certain level, thinking that the sky does not allow themselves, and the thunder and lightning are the divine punishment of the heavens to destroy themselves, and they hide and hide all day long.

These are all crazy people.

The person in front of him, who is looking for some kind of order in the world, is also a madman.

This madman actually wants to be a god!

"You've been looking at the outstanding people in the rivers and lakes, watching them go their own way. You want to see some clues from it, and you want to see if the sky is controlling everything in the world. Do you want to find where the day is, and then you challenge it, and you want to do the day? You want to find order because you want to create order. ”

Zhang Yiyang asked: "Can I understand it like this?" ”

The man in white smiled: "That's not right"

Behind his smile, there was a faint sadness that Zhang Yiyang couldn't understand, and it was because of this sadness that Zhang Yiyang felt that he had understood it wrong. A madman, there will be no such sadness.

"Because I'm standing tall, I see things in the distance earlier than you."

Bai Yi *** got up, walked under the pine tree and looked at the sky, and needed to find light from the gaps in the leaves: "Many years ago, people couldn't practice, and at that time people lived very hard, facing fierce beasts, plagues, and all kinds of natural disasters, people couldn't fight. Although man is the ruler of this world, he is undoubtedly the weakest, if not the weakest, of all living beings. Cats, dogs, insects and ants can all have a premonition of natural disasters and avoid them, wild wolves can bite off their broken legs and continue to live, what about people? ”

"Maybe it's because of this that people are reluctant, and then one day they find that they can practice. The human body can be strengthened through acquired efforts, stronger than those beasts with innate advantages! Those who can practice can also avoid plagues and natural disasters. Man began to look more and more like the real ruler, and manpower began to become the most powerful force of time. ”

Zhang Yiyang listened to him quietly, carefully sorting out these words in his mind.

The man in white said, "People can practice, and they have taken people to another level. Because of the cultivators, people have a lot less fear. There was a cultivator in a town, and the fierce tiger and wolf did not dare to invade. There is a cultivator in a city who can sense an earthquake and alert the people. A country has a great cultivator who can even deter foreign enemies. ”

He glanced back at Zhang Yiyang and asked, "Okay?" ”

Zhang Yiyang nodded: "Yes"

The man in white is right, these are facts. A person who doesn't need to be too strong in cultivation is enough to protect a village from being attacked by wild beasts. A perceptual practitioner is enough to detect natural disasters such as earthquakes in advance and remind people to save themselves in advance. A great cultivator who has cultivated to an extremely strong level can make a country peaceful for a long time.

For example, there is the Great Sui with ten thousand stars.

"What is this?"

The man in white asked.

"What is it?"

Zhang Yiyang didn't understand, and shook his head: "What is what?" ”

The man in white sighed slightly: "You still think too little...... People can become strong after cultivating, so they get many benefits, what is the essence of these benefits? ”

This time he didn't ask Zhang Yiyang, he paused and said: "This benefit, in fact, isn't it a provocation?" ”

"Provocation?"

Zhang Yiyang didn't understand.

The man in white said: "If the physique of wild beasts is stronger than that of humans, natural disasters are to make people suffer, are these the established good order in the world?" If so, then when one starts to practice and avoids all this, he is provoking this order. If one's practice is so strong that it ignores these orders, will there be any consequences for continuing to disrupt them? ”

Zhang Yiyang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

"I said I was just a spectator, and I didn't want to interfere with anything, I just wanted to see if there was any punishment for disrupting the order. Over the years, the number of practitioners has become more and more powerful, but I have become more and more worried. ”

The man in white sighed: "Things must be reversed...... When a cultivator has been able to control the court and develop left and right, I am afraid that the end of the practitioner will come. ”

……

……

Zhang Yiyang was silent for a long, long time, and he finally understood what the madman in front of him was. This madman has been living for a long time, and he doesn't know how long it has been, but Zhang Yiyang is sure that this person must have seen the development of cultivators, and if he had seen it from the beginning, then the years he had lived were terrifying enough. But because Zhang Yiyang knew about the existence of King Dalunming, he was not surprised by the existence of the man in white.

If one witnesses the beginning of the few practitioners to the present pomp, it is indeed a very shocking thing. But as you can imagine, it should be an amazing feeling. It's as if a person is lonely at first, and then he discovers a kind, and then there are more and more of them, and that feeling must be exciting.

But because he sees too much, he thinks too much.

"Since people can practice, it is because their bodies have such potential. Beasts can't practice because beasts don't have such potential. ”

Zhang Yiyang began to express his opinion, and his previous vigilance was much less: "Therefore, since it is the inherent potential of human beings, it is not considered to violate the way of heaven, and it is not considered to provoke the order...... If there really is such an order. ”

"Not right"

The man in white said: "I once thought of what you said, but then I thought that people are weak, but their minds are the best and most flexible, so people use their minds in order to survive, come up with many ways to develop, and invent many tools to assist...... This seems to be the order of human development. But after a person cultivates, this kind of mind is used less...... I can kill a beast with one finger, and how can I think about inventing any tools? I can't practice, but there are people in my village who can practice to protect the village, and I just need to cultivate the fields and don't bother to think about anything. ”

"This kind of thinking is becoming more and more common, and for example, soldiers, soldiers will think, there is a great cultivator who will kill the enemy's main general, then I just need to rush forward when the time comes, and I don't bother to think about how to make the army stronger."

The man in white said, "This kind of situation is the ultimate development of a cultivator. It is no longer about promoting human progress, but hindering human progress. That's why I'm worried that the end of the practitioner is coming. ”

"Until one day ......"

The man in white said with some amazement: "I went to the other side of the sea. ”

His eyes were a little wandering: "I see another extreme of human development. ”

He thought of the young man named Fang Jie, who had obviously never been to the other side of the sea, but why did he think of another direction of development? He was obviously a person with an extraordinary physique, and if he devoted all his mind to cultivation, he could become another existence that shook the past and the present.

The people on the other side of the sea did not find the path of cultivation, but they found a path that made people equally strong. Firearms can make ordinary people as powerful as cultivators. On the other side, muskets are far more powerful than bows and arrows, and the beasts are terrified at the sound of guns. The power of the cannon is comparable to that of a cultivator with a high realm, and the operator only needs to ignite the fuse!

A cultivator who has practiced hard for decades may not be able to reach the height of six or seven grades. In terms of power, such a cultivator's punch is definitely not comparable to a cannon shot. Of course, the real great cultivators disdain muskets and artillery, but how many such great cultivators are there? Compared to hundreds of millions of ordinary people, can dozens, even hundreds, of great cultivators stop another path of development?

If one day, the practice of exhausting one's life is not as good as a bombardment, then the end of the practitioner has really come.

Who would go so hard to practice?

That's why he wanted Fang Xie to live, he wanted to see if this path was right. If there is no such person in the Central Plains, will he be abandoned by this world in the future?

Is this heaven's punishment for the Central Plains people for disrupting order?

The man in white looked to the east

The people on the other side are coming.

Punish?
