Chapter 475: The Cycle of Life and Death
"Why can't it be implemented?" Higg laughed, "I'll analyze it for you, but what I'm saying may be ugly!" Of course, the ancestral conventions are an obstacle, but they are not the main thing, they have only become your biggest weapon and the biggest excuse to prevent men and women from living together! I have carefully observed the people who participate in the Wanbang Festival, they are all adult men and women under the age of forty, and they should not be more than forty-five years old, which is probably also agreed by your clan rules! Whether it is the elders of the witch clan or the patriarchs of the various sub-clans, which one is not about fifty years old or sixty years old, and at least forty or fifty years old, right? The biggest beneficiary of the cohabitation of men and women is, of course, the young people under the age of forty, none of you patriarchs here are at this age, but you hold all levels of power in the witch clan, you have suffered from the separation of men and women, and even hate this ancestral system, so why should you agree to let those younger generations get treatment that they have not received? You people in power, wielding the stick of the ancestral system, saying in a high-sounding manner that the cohabitation of men and women is a moral decline and a shame sinking, and you restrain the love of men and women of the witch clan like animals, and you want to revive and be strong in this wild and savage vulgar covenant, hehe, do you think it is too naΓ―ve? You keep saying that it is for the revival of the witch clan, but you are stumbling on the development of the witch clan everywhere, selfishly saying that you do not deviate from the ancestral system, you do not let go of the vulgar covenant, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring, even now, I can feel the sour smell of the house here! β
The patriarchs of the fifteen sub-clans in the hall, most of them bowed their heads, with different expressions, Higg's words seemed to hit their hearts, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them doing this before, and they never felt that they were deliberately preventing the development of the witch clan, they thought that what they did was in accordance with the rules and customs of the clan, and there was nothing wrong with that! Now I vaguely feel that, in fact, there is a self-righteous but very selfish heart hidden in my chest, and no one will break it, and they will never notice it.
It was Shirika who stood up and said, "Sir, I'm waiting to wake up like a dream!" As Mr. said, the ancestral custom is just an excuse, and our selfishness and resentment are indeed the biggest obstacle to preventing men and women from living together, which is really ashamed and ashamed to speak! Now, if you don't take the opportunity to regain control of Jiulong Pool and fight for it, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future! It seems that Elder Haynes is indeed far-sighted, letting the young Iona be the patriarch, and abandoning the world, and letting Iona unite with Mr. Higg as an elder, which is really meaningful, Elder Haynes leads by example, in fact, it is to let those of us who are in power give way to more energetic young people to take power, and let them choose how to go on the future path of the witch clan! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say? β
"The elder may mean this, but he definitely doesn't want you to give way!" Higg said, "Iona took up the position of elder at a young age, and her foundation is still young, but you want to make a move to give way, are you trying to pick a son?" Iona alone will be able to fulfill Elder Haines' last wish? If you are truly concerned about the Witch Clan, you should strongly support Iona as an Elder! As for the matter of cohabitation between men and women, if you insist that it is not feasible, then I will talk nonsense! β
Sirika whispered to a dozen clan elders before she said, "This is a matter of our clan, we must be cautious!" Now that we stand firm as Iona's elder, fifteen of us are all strong supporters of Elder Haynes, and of course we will also support Elder Iona! Fifteen of us can also agree with the matter of male and female cohabitation, but with the addition of Iona's Xiangjing clan, it only accounts for more than a quarter, and there is a sulfur ring, and the patriarchs of other tribes support Iona on the matter of human elders, but they may not support male and female cohabitation, so we still need to be cautious and slow down! β
"Isn't that easy?" Higg smiled, "It's your fifteen tribes plus the Xiangjing tribe, in the witch clan trial operation of male and female cohabitation, as many women as there are man, you can lead as many men back to the clan to form a family, they don't want to, then wait to pick the remaining men!" β
"If you do this, won't the witch clan be in chaos?" Iona asked, surprised.
"Chaos is chaos, this is the trend of the times, the desire of the people!" Higg said, "The opponents are just those old things who are in power but disobedient, but those who support you are definitely the young and strong forces of the whole clan, and it is clear which is more important at a glance." This fire, just start from these old things, and see if the young people of those opposing tribes support you or support the old things that oppose cohabitation, hahaha! As long as a tribe sets a precedent, it can't be stopped! How about you, the sixteen sub-tribes, dare to be this bird? β
Higg's words shocked Shirika and the others, Higg's hand is simply killing many birds with one stone, as long as the sixteen tribes here support and ignore the opposition of others, forcibly break this old custom clan rule, and agree to live together with men and women, it will inevitably cause an uproar, even if the patriarchs of other clans and those old men in power oppose it, it is impossible to withstand the pressure of the young Zhuang faction of their own clan, and the later they agree to live together, the more disadvantaged the population resources of their own tribe will be, and wait until the other clans have finished picking the outstanding talents in the male witch clan, They will only be able to gnaw bones, and Iona will quickly get the full support of the entire clan of young Zhuang faction, and there is no need to worry that the position of the elder will be shaken, it will only be more stable.
"Of course there is a risk!" Higg said with a smile, "But with fifteen patriarchs here to pave the way, how bad can the situation be?" I just don't know if Shirika and the elders are really willing to do this, if they have the courage to do it! β
"For the sake of Elder Haynes' last wishes, Elder Iona's plan for revival, and for the longevity of my witch clan, we have agreed to a plan for male and female cohabitation on behalf of the fifteen tribes!" Sirika said, "However, this matter still needs to be planned carefully, and it should take advantage of the fact that the festival of all nations is not over yet, and everyone is still gathered together, just to cut through the chaos and put this matter to an end, so that the power of the witch clan and Elder Iona is immediately on the right track!" β
Excited, Iona cast a grateful glance at Higg, and a dozen other Haynes clans were also impressed by Higg's plan.
"The specific planning is an internal matter of your witch clan!" Higg continued, "Iona, the Holy Maiden Hinjeshanlu still has a lot of property in the city of Donindo, and Daniel is unwilling to inherit this property because of his discord with his father, I don't think Daniel will mind letting the witch inherit it, and I will tell Daniel about this, you can use it first!" What do you say, old man? β
"This kid is still angry with his father for so many years, he has so much property that he doesn't inherit, and he owes more than 10 million foreign debts to my master!" Delongso said, "Those properties are used for the development of the witch clan, for the right way, and I, the master, will be the master of the Higg boy, and you witch clan will inherit it!" β
β¦β¦
Higg, Delonso, and Shirika rode dragons and parted ways in Donindo, with Shirika going to the palace in Nasri, and Sig and Delonso planning to return to Erathia from the magical guild in Donindo.
"Unexpectedly, revisiting the old place is really interesting!" On Lake Wanze, Higg stood at the bow of the boat and said to Delonso behind him, "Old man, if you come here in the spring season, you will be shocked!" However, it would be worth the trip to see the blooming Soul Eater Flower for a while! The origin of the water system is here I comprehend, the water spirit bead is also obtained in the center of the lake, you have to look for the traces of the year, but the time has passed, I am afraid it will disappoint you! β
"Hehe, as if I had to come!" Delongso smiled, "It's clear that you kid doesn't know how to face Blue Fairy when you go back, so you have to pull me here to relax, I'm so lazy to be so bored!" I also see that you can't give up, and I can't bear it, I can't wait to find Lan Xian'er immediately and let her fulfill her promise! Aren't you worried about the situation in the Fifth Army at all? β
"The current situation is like this, SMS has done well enough, I can't change anything when I go back, there's nothing to worry about!" Higg said, "Old man, when I described the origin of the four systems to you, I remember that you said a sentence, you asked me, what is the origin of the four systems, I knew nothing at the time, but recently I have gained something, especially in the comprehension of the water system, which has indeed made me gain a lot. In addition to the fire origin, the other origins that I comprehended at that time were so superficial that they were not worth mentioning, and now that I think about it, I really felt a little naΓ―ve back then! I don't know what level of cognition you have reached in terms of origin? It's rare that the two of us don't meet in the Magic Guild, but in this place closest to the origin of nature, and I think you'll be very interested! β
Delongso nodded and said, "It really surprises me that your understanding of the water system origin and the fire system origin can reach such a height! Everyone's cognition of the origin is different, and the understanding of the origin of all things is also different, and it is difficult to say who is more intelligent than the other, and it is difficult to say what state their understanding is in! No one can truly and fully see the origin of all things, the essence of the world! Human cognition is infinite, and when you perceive a certain level, you think that this is the source, but as your understanding of the world continues to develop and deepen, you will find that it is just the starting point of another source. Just like your understanding of fire and water, the current cycle and cycle, and even the origin of the earth and air system can eventually be classified into the cognition of the cycle and the cycle, you think that this is their origin, but one day, you will ask yourself, what is the meaning of the cycle and the cycle? Born destined to die, we are just a hurried passer-by in the chain of life cycle, the chain of all things, you yourself are in such a cycle of situation, the authorities are confused, how can you fully understand? You have to jump out of such a cycle, such a chess game, to see the chaos in the game, understand the meaning of the existence of this cycle and the driving force of this cycle! β
"According to you, you want to jump out of the cycle of life and death?" Higg looked at Delongso in surprise and asked, "Or maybe the cycle of life and death is actually a scam, but we are in the game, and it is impossible to see this deception clearly, and only by jumping out of the mystery of life and death will we have an epiphany, is that right?" β
"I'm also in the game just like you, so you don't have to ask me!" Delonso laughed, "What death is, do you know what? You don't know, and I don't know! Does death mean the end, or is it the beginning of another cycle? Since you recognize that the origin and direct essence of all things is the cycle, then you should not end to it again, because the cycle cannot distinguish where it is the beginning and where the end is. But why do we always say that falling to the ground is the beginning of life, and death is the end? Why can't it be said that human birth is actually the end of one cycle, and death is actually the beginning of another, just like the phenomenon of the undead? It's a contradiction in itself, we're in a chess game and can't solve it! The reason why people's cognition of the origin is different is that our cognition is based on the understanding of things and phenomena, and the cognition obtained is very different depending on the object of comprehension! People seldom use themselves as a reference to comprehend, so what we don't understand is precisely ourselves! People have truth, goodness and beauty, evil and viciousness, sorrow and joy, love and hate, friends and enemies between people, and the use of sincerity, force, scheming and other means to deal with the relationship between people, it has formed a more complex phenomenon, that is, human society, or civilization, it is precisely because of the complexity of human beings that people have lost themselves even more, lost themselves, and cannot confirm the origin of people! β
The beautiful Flower of Soul Eaters bloomed in the center of Lake Wanze, guarded by many guards, no one could get close, and Higg and Delonso could only look out from afar. Higg's original understanding of the Soul Eater Flower was the beautiful bloom of life, but whether this was the case or not, there was no way to know at the time, and it could only be confirmed through one magic demonstration after another, and everyone would have a different understanding, and the result of the confirmation would make everyone reach the height of life and achieve different achievements in life. The cycle of life and death, it doesn't matter the starting point, it doesn't matter the end, now it can be said that you are on the chain of the cycle of life, or you can say that you are on the fantasy chain of death.
"Let's go back!" Higg said.
"Where are you going?" Delonso asked.
"Back to Erathia, back to Bobo City!" Higg smiled, "I think it's time for the chaos in Alasia to end, otherwise, there are some things that we can't prove!" Did heaven and earth dominate man, or did man dominate heaven and earth? The ups and downs of the world, the major forces compete with each other, someone must get rid of the chaos and find the origin of this chaos and the motive of this chaos! I always feel that there is an invisible hand, hidden behind it, which has caused chaos in Middle-earth, and only by grasping this invisible hand can we truly clear the fog and dominate the ups and downs! β
