Chapter 171: The End of the Story
In the far reaches of time, no one could have imagined, an unknown creature was born in this world.
In fact, from the beginning, they didn't know who they were.
But over time, as the living environment changes, in order to survive, they have to learn to create and define.
So they called themselves people.
They define themselves, and then they define everything.
They exalt themselves and prove their superiority by comparing them to creatures that no one species can surpass.
They think they are more human than demons, more human than demons, and more human than demons.
They do their best to live, and they do not hesitate to abandon human form, human affection, and even human nature in order to live.
But in the end, they forgot why they were alive.
The longer they live, the more sophisticated their minds become, and the more bizarre their behavior becomes.
At first, they are interdependent, in order to face more powerful demons.
But when the demons became weak, when comfort came, they began to kill each other, judging the level by the level of cultivation.
They claim to be respected for their strength.
But what exactly does this strength give them?
Superiority?
Or did you forget your original intention to live in the first place?
Yes, they define everything, and in the end they forget why they define it.
Gong Tongzhi looked at Yin Ming, his eyes were full of haze, and he couldn't see Yin Ming more and more clearly.
He didn't know what Yin Ming's story meant, but when he was thinking about what this so-called Grand Governor should do, he thought of himself.
But he didn't want to admit it, and he even gave up thinking about it.
"The Master is well-informed, how can we two bad old men compare with the Master. ”
"Since the Master knows this story, he must know the final ending. ”
Gong Tong asked casually, as if he didn't care.
But in fact, his eyes were always on Yin Ming, waiting for Yin Ming to tell him the end of this story.
King Tianwu was also attracted by this story, and his eyes were full of doubts.
He put himself in his shoes and realized that he was unable to obey the decree.
If you want to slaughter a defenceless people, how is that different from an animal?
If being born as a human being is that meaning, then he will choose to give up.
He Yuanzhang had been sitting on the stool next to the stone table, holding the bamboo pole with both hands, and looking at the slanting sun.
In the vast paradise, it is extremely quiet at the moment.
Yin Ming was silent for a while, and finally smiled slightly bitterly, and some helplessness appeared on his face.
"I don't know how this story ends. ”
"The ancients used to say that there is life and death. ”
"But the lives of those who plagued them were not in their own hands, but in the hands of the traitors of the court and the governors. ”
"When the lives of a person, a group of people, countless people are in the hands of a few, life becomes cheap, even as light as a feather, and not worth mentioning. ”
Yin Ming looked at Gong Tong and knew, "Now, the lives of the people of the entire Thousand Yuan Continent are in the hands of the four of us, aren't their lives worth mentioning?"
"They are also people, a collection of decades, a story after the accumulation of ups and downs, and the only proof that we are alive. ”
"It may be easier to give up than to fight for it, but once you give up, it will be a hell from which you will never recover. ”
There are thousands of texts, but at this moment, Yin Ming doesn't know which one to use to persuade Gong Tongzhi and He Yuanzhang.
He just wanted to impress the two with the simplest truth, the purest meaning of being a human being.
All morality is not worth mentioning in front of life, and human life is a matter of heaven, which is the most basic moral bottom line of a superior person.
Regardless of whether Yin Ming asked the patriarch or not, and whether he was a holy king or not, human life is the meaning that defines everything in this world.
If there are no more lives in this world, then does everything in this world still have the meaning of existence?
The voice fell, and the sun and the breeze were clear.
There was another silence, and all four seemed to be lost in thought.
I don't know how long it took for King Tianwu to take the lead in breaking this silence.
I only heard him say, "This king has personally experienced the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the human race. ”
"They are selfish, self-interested, unhumble and respectful, arrogant and lascivious, even more inhuman than demons. ”
"But those are all in the past, and the people are now immersed in literature and Taoism, knowing benevolence and righteousness, understanding reason, and humility, and they are no longer the human nature of those years. ”
"Perhaps they are not worth mentioning in your eyes, and you no longer have any responsibility to them. ”
"Perhaps you are right, this king has been asleep for six hundred years, and it is impossible for him to see more clearly than you. ”
King Tianwu said goodbye and turned to leave.
The afterglow of the slanting sun fell on his shoulders, and for a moment his back looked extremely old, his steps were no longer steady, and even a little trembling.
A generation of Tianwu Kings was lonely and dying.
Yin Ming looked at his back and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
Gong Tongzhi and He Yuanzhang also wanted to speak and stopped.
They remembered that a few years ago, they had seen King Tianwu for the first time after six hundred years.
Excited and excited, they burst into tears, and each sat cross-legged under the sunset to recall the situation of the year.
At that time, the ambition and unity were so ridiculous and funny.
What has changed human nature for these 600 years?
And what is it that makes these 600 years of time come to naught in the snap of a finger, enveloping them, lonely souls and wild ghosts who don't want to grow old?
It's probably the hope of being born human.
It is precisely because they do not want to die and still have hope in their hearts that they will rely on the reincarnation bamboo to survive year after year.
Even though they knew that one day they would run out of gas, they didn't want to give up.
Born as a human being, who wants to give up that last glimmer of hope in their hearts?
Isn't it for the hope in our hearts to live?
Gong Tongzhi raised his eyes and looked, it was the back of King Tianwu under the slanting sun, lonely and lonely, thin and old.
Turning his head, the silence of this paradise seemed to disappear in an instant, and what appeared in front of him was the golden iron horse six hundred years ago, and the earth shook the mountains.
The story that Yin Ming said, no one knows what the final solution was.
Just this time in this war, no one knows the final outcome.
But it is precisely because of the uncertainty of the future that everyone is fighting hard at this moment.
Not why, just to live.
The meaning of life may not be great, but only by living can we prove those great meanings.
When a person, a group of people, and countless people try their best to prove it, the human race will appear glorious and respected for defining everything.
Whether it is demons, demons, exotic beasts, or even flowers and trees, the human race defines them, so they will always change because of the changes of the human race.
