Chapter 225: Lost Past, Broken Old Friends

"People always have things that they think are important and must stick to. For the sake of such persistence, one can give up one's own life, and one can be cruel to friends, lovers, loved ones, and even innocent people...... For that old ghost, guarding this world is his persistence and faith. ”

"Create Daji, kill the king, exorcise the demon seed, and be vigilant against the Western world...... Of course, he never thinks about himself, and everything he does is to carry the heavy responsibility of the peace of the entire human world on his shoulders. ”

The old master and Lu Yu each opened a table, and the two sat cross-legged in front of a wooden table.

The master's face was full of nostalgia, but mixed with a hint of sadness, as if he felt a great deal of entanglement and embarrassment between the past and the present.

The old friend has appeared in his dreams more than once, and the figure that is as ethereal as the fairy road, but the majestic and righteous figure is still floating in his chest.

Now, under Lu Yu's inquiry, the memories of the past once again appeared vividly in front of the master's eyes, as if the break with Jiang Ziya was at dusk yesterday.

"Jiang Ziya's predecessor, his belief and persistence is to ...... other races other than human beings Are they all extinct? ”

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

This is Lu Yu's most profound memory of Jiang Ziya, the hero.

When he once controlled these well-known heroes in the game to conquer the King's Canyon, Lu Yu never had an in-depth understanding of their backgrounds and stories.

Even their rousing lines only briefly resonate.

It wasn't until Lu Yu himself experienced the ups and downs in the world of the King Continent that he was able to understand the story behind every hero and their lines.

However, for Jiang Ziya, as one of the strongest beings under the gods and above mortals, his belief is to create a "perfect human world" without aliens.

He has indeed done enough for mankind, and he is a great saint who worships all living beings.

However, justice to mankind is cruelty to other races.

In Jiang Ziya's eyes, the human race should be the strongest race on the King Continent, and in the eyes of the strong, there is no seat for the weak.

It was difficult for Lu Yu to agree with his philosophy, even though he was a highly respected saint who had led everyone in the past to defeat the King of Xu, establish several powerful countries, and bring new vitality to the King Continent......

"However, Master, I have always had doubts. What kind of human realm is truly perfect? Is it a world where there are only humans and no aliens? Or is it a world where forty-nine people are killed to live fifty-one, and there are only the strong and no weak? Although the old ghost has dedicated his life to exorcising the demon seed, he has stood by and watched the war and killing between humans...... Is this really a peaceful human world? ”

The old master's original face was like a spring breeze, and there was a little more sadness and incomprehension.

Once, Jiang Ziya has been committed to destroying the demon seed and crusading against the "Great Demon God King" hidden in the dark, believing that only by completely eliminating the demon seed can it bring true happiness and peace to mankind and create a world that the gods yearn for.

But...... The slaughter of the demon seed,But also suffered from the demon seed's counterattack,Although the fire of the war was briefly extinguished after the king was sealed,But it quickly rekindled again,And even more terrible than before。

Until now, he has not been able to accept and understand the ideas and persistence of his old friend.

"I can't hide it, Master."

Lu Yu got up suddenly, he was a little hesitant at first, but he quickly gave up, and said firmly: "Maybe for you, my idea is a little ridiculous, but I firmly believe that both humans and demon species have the right to live. Neither side has the right to interfere with the fate of the other. ”

This kind of words, if they are casually exported on the street, I am afraid that they will directly attract a burst of saliva and scolding.

After all, the concept that Jixia adheres to is still in the dogma left by Jiang Ziya in the past. Although everyone yearns for peace as always, when it comes to peaceful coexistence with demons...... That's hard to do.

"Oh? Young man, what do you mean...... Do you want the demon seed and humans to coexist peacefully? ”

The old master stroked his slender white beard, and a light flashed between his energetic pupils.

"Hmm."

Lu Yu just nodded silently, didn't say a word, and then observed the old master's expression.

"Humans and demons coexist...... Lu Yu, do you know who was the last time I had this kind of thought? ”

did not directly criticize Lu Yu's words, and the old master suddenly diverted the topic.

"The King."

Lu Yu said lightly, his expression was still flat, and the old master sitting opposite was the same, without any surprised expression.

"The King of the Rings once wanted humans and demons to coexist...... However, almost all of the demon seeds are derived from the terrifying power of the Demon Dao, and they have a power that ordinary people cannot match. ”

"The more powerful the power, the more difficult it is to control, and you should know this very well."

In the old master's eyes, a moment of gloom flashed: "The old ghost is too, he clearly knows that once some things are excessive, they will exceed their expectations." He used all his means, abducting, coercing, coercing, and luring his apprentices to fight and kill the demon seeds, and finally cocooned himself and was betrayed by Wu Zetian and was banned in an unknown corner......"

"However, I can't deny what you're saying. Humans are life, and the demon seed is also life. There was no life-and-death grudge between the two, but the war was stirred up by each other's desires and ambitions. Disaster will not only affect one side, it will be a disaster for both humans and demons. ”

He shook his head silently, and then nodded to himself, not knowing whether he was for or against, the old master did not have an absolute statement.

"In this world, there is no such thing as right and wrong. Whether it is Jiang Ziya's predecessors or the king of Xu, what they insist on is just the most righteous choice in their hearts. ”

Lu Yu smiled faintly, because the old master's words did not favor either side, and held a neutral meaning.

"However, your thoughts, the old man still thinks it's quite interesting. Did you spend a lot of time at Jixia College and be infected by the academic style here? At the very least, you're the first person to dare to speak out so generously about such a topic. ”

The old master smiled kindly, as if he was deeply satisfied.

"For the three old men of our Jixia Academy, whether it is human beings or other races, they all have the right to enjoy peace. We must not wantonly destroy the peace of other races because of the 'peace' and 'justice' we seek. ”
