Chapter 91: The Human Heart
"You said that you want to set up a special institution, a school, to systematically and standardize the teaching of cultivation to everyone. Such a plan is difficult, but not impossible. ”
"It's just that you ignore people's hearts."
"As I just said, the reason why ordinary people do not show more desires is simply constrained by their own environment and the rules of society as a whole. What do you think would happen to a person who suddenly gains the power to break those social laws one day? ”
After a long silence, Qing Ming, who was sitting opposite, finally spoke slowly: "I can't deny what Your Highness Mo said. But we can also guide them when we give them strength. I think that as long as we patiently teach, most of them will be able to stay true to their hearts without being confused by the expansive power. ”
"Huh...... Guide ......", the sarcasm in Mo's eyes became more and more obvious, "Who do you want to guide them?" Those so-called cultivators who are out there now? Or the two troublemakers you rescued today? ”
"It's so imposing. Relying on his own strength, he completely ignores the rules of the world, and acts in public at will, without caring about whether it will affect the ordinary people around him. If this was not the country of Qingqiu, the guards who blocked them would only be ordinary people. Then I'm afraid that they will kill a few guards, and then scold a sentence of presumptuousness, how dare you meddle with our idle affairs?! ”
"What a superior 'cultivator'. The scar-faced man, the smell of blood on his body probably contains not only youkai, but also many of the same kind. And the monk who looks like a monk is a big joke. Could it be that he thinks that his evil aura hidden under the light of the Buddha can still hide from everyone in the world!? ”
"The frog at the bottom of the well does not know the vastness of heaven and earth; The wolf cares about the generation, and the ambition is debauched and rampant. Such people, such so-called cultivators, do you still expect them to be able to fight for the protection of humanity? What a joke that wasn't funny. ”
"Your Highness Mo, you're right. It is true that there is some not very good atmosphere among human cultivators right now. However, not everyone is so ......", Qingming shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to argue: "Moreover, although those two are a little dissolute today, they are also capable people among exorcists. There may be a loss in private affairs, but the righteousness is not damaged. ”
"A good righteousness is not compromised...... But it's not ......," Mo shook his head, returning to his original indifferent appearance, "What does it matter to me how others behave." Your Excellency Qingming, you don't need to say any more, I will not interfere in this matter. ”
Seeing Mo's attitude, Qingming also gave up her plan to continue persuasion. In fact, for this result, he had expected it before. But there are some things that you have to try even if you know the results, don't you?
……
On the other side, Hui Yin and Ah Li listened to this conversation between the two. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while.
In the end, it was Huiyin who broke the silence first and said, "Ah Li, what do you think about this?" ”
"Hmm...... This ......", Ah Li lowered his head, supported his chin with one hand, and frowned, as if he also felt inconclusive about it.
After thinking hard for a while, Ah Li raised his head again and looked at Teacher Huiyin: "Actually, I think this proposal of Lord Ampei Qingming is quite good. If there are more exorcists and demon exterminators, then more people will be saved from the scourge of monsters. But His Highness Mo's statement seems to make sense......"
In the end, Ali's face was half puzzled, half bitter, and shook his head: "Teacher Huiyin, people...... Are you really as His Highness Mo said, selfish and greedy? I don't understand...... Are we really that unbearable as human beings? ”
Huiyin smiled and reached out to help Ah Li straighten her somewhat disheveled hair, "Maybe, that guy's words do have some truth." But don't forget, Ali, that good and evil are relative. Since there are all kinds of 'bad roots' and 'darkness' in human nature, it means that there must be another side of 'goodness' and 'light'."
"It's like there is no shadow without light. If there is no 'goodness', how can we distinguish what is 'ugly', and if there is no 'ugliness' full of darkness, how can we reflect the 'beauty' that shines brightly in human nature? ”
"......", Ali looked at Huiyin in front of her in a daze, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything in the end.
"Ali, I told you. I like you, I like you to be able to maintain your eyes and heart even though you are in this muddy world. ”
"I also like human beings, and it's not because of the so-called beauty and ugliness of human nature. It's because people, even if they are in the midst of sinking, even if they are consumed by all kinds of so-called 'realities', so-called 'worldly events', and so-called 'darkness' when almost an inch is gone, they will eventually leave the last small piece of 'pure land' in the deepest part of their souls......"
"Maybe most of them can't do anything great, maybe most of them have done everything they can just to survive, maybe they have already lost their trust in 'goodness' by the ugliness of their compatriots who have completely abandoned humanity......"
But even so, even if you live most of your life, you will end up with an empty mind. But most of them have not forgotten their original pursuit of 'goodness'. We will weep for those touching deeds, we will sing and praise for those true heroes, we will be awe-inspiring for justice, we will be moved for kindness, and we will be grateful for sacrifices......"
"They, even though they have seen all the ugliness in this world, they still haven't forgotten their pursuit of beauty...... That brilliance, even if it is just an inconspicuous speck in the darkness. But it has not been completely extinguished, waiting for it to be rekindled one day......"
"Maybe it's just an opportunity, an accident. A moment ago, a husband who was still a submissive man would rise up and resist the gangsters for the sake of his wife and children; A moment ago, the ronin, who was still a ruffian, would jump into the boiling river and bravely save people, regardless of the danger......"
"There are only a few heroes, and there may be more ugliness, but even so, there are more and more people, they are neither heroes nor villains, they will be powerless, they will be cowardly, and they will be consumed by reality All the 'good' that they once had been."
"But even so, they still won't throw away the last 'brilliance' in their hearts. Praise the 'beautiful', worship the 'beautiful', and feel the 'beautiful'. Even if they are weak and powerless, as long as they still have that little bit of 'brilliance' in their hearts, they will be able to turn into a 'hero' praised by themselves and others in the next moment. ”
"Teacher Huiyin......", Ali looked at Huiyin who was constantly talking in front of him in a daze. And Huiyin smiled and slowly took her into her arms, and said softly:
"Ali, I'm going to teach you a lesson today. A lesson on the human heart. I hope that in the days to come, no matter how ugly you see, how dark you are, how desperate you are. Please also do not throw away the 'brilliance' that remains in your heart today. Because that brilliance is the greatest 'beauty' that you have as a human being......"
