Chapter 1255: Overseer
Dragon Slayer.
Wang Yu's thoughts are still flowing rapidly......
With the flow of his thoughts, the pages of the dragon slaying book in his hand also continued to flicker with a faint streamer......
The reincarnation floated and sank in his mind like a flat boat......
At a very young age, Wang Yu liked to read martial arts novels......
Speaking of martial arts novels, it is naturally impossible to ignore Jin Daxia's survival, in fact, for Wang Yu in his youth, Jin Daxia's martial arts novels can be said to be one of his main spiritual food......
The biggest feature of Jin Yong's novels is that people of different ages often have different feelings when reading novels......
Young people can see the happiness and enmity of the knights, middle-aged people can see the cultivation of human feelings, and the elderly can see the weight of history......
People of different people often have different cognitions when they read Jin Yong......
It's like the same glass of wine, and different people often have different tastes when they drink it......
It's like the twenty-four characters in the so-called Heaven and Dragon Slayer......
Martial arts supreme, sword slaying dragon!
Command the world, don't dare to disobey!
If you don't come out of the sky, who will compete!
With these twenty-four words, Zhang Sanfeng, a mythical figure in the martial arts at that time, even created an extremely clever skill of relying on the sky and slaying dragons, which can also be seen that even if it is just these twenty-four words themselves, the artistic conception of martial arts is vaguely hidden......
On the surface, this passage describes the two most famous weapons in the martial arts at that time, the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer. Literally. Anyone who has obtained the Dragon Slayer Sword. can be called the supreme martial arts in the true sense, so as to reach the realm of commanding the world and not daring to disobey!
Because of this, because of the relationship between the dragon slaying knife, there was a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes......
In reality, however, there is a second meaning to this passage, the second meaning of this passage. In fact, it does not simply refer to the two divine weapons of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer Knife, but also the martial arts cheats and Wu Mu's suicide note hidden in these two weapons!
The former represents peerless martial arts, while the latter represents the subtle art of war!
If you have mastered martial arts, you can become the supreme in the martial arts, and if you have the art of war, you have the ability to slay dragons and become emperors!
In these twenty-four words of description, when you can really command the world, it is actually not the dragon slaying knife, but the art of war in the dragon slayer, which can really make people become the supreme of martial arts. It's not the Heavenly Sword, but the magic in the Heavenly Sword!
However. In addition, in fact, there is a third layer of meaning hidden in this passage!
The book of war in the dragon slaying knife can certainly make people have elite soldiers, and it can certainly make people king and hegemon!
However, that is indeed under the condition that the Heavenly Sword does not come out!
If the Dragon Slayer Knife represents the supreme power of the emperor, then the Heavenly Sword represents the peerless power!
The emperor is certainly invincible, but he is also unable to resist an assassin with peerless power!
The emperor can own a country, but the assassin has the power to end a life!
Speaking of which, between power and absolute power, there is always a mutual existence of mutual restraint......
If the power is strong enough to a certain extent, it can ignore the rights in the world, and in the same way, when the rights reach a certain level, it can be achieved in the realm of the whole world and the coast of the land!
And these two are both contradictory and unified in themselves!
On the contrary, if a country does not have these rangers who violate the ban with martial arts, then a country will often be too strong because of the power of order, and those in power will become corrupt because of their power and no one supervises, so that they will start to decay from within a country......
Essentially, this is a state of equilibrium called equilibrium......
Once the balance is broken, then it will inevitably encourage the power of one of them, and thus make the country unstable!
And for Wang Yu, after experiencing so many reincarnations, he has already deeply felt the power of the assassin's faith!
Their existence is not to break the balance of the order, but precisely to balance the order!
When someone has more power than they can control, and squanders it, that's when the Assassin has to do it!
For those who control order, the assassin is like a virus hidden in the system......
On the other hand, from the point of view of the assassins, in their cognition, those in power who were assassinated by them are actually the virus in this world, and it is precisely because they are going further and further down the wrong path that it is necessary to be cleaned up!
And no matter which side of the two sides is, they will feel that their actions are righteous!
For the orderly, they want to get rid of a person who has the power to threaten them, and they want to maintain harmony on a global scale!
And for the saboteurs, their goal is to return everyone to a state of freedom as much as possible, to break free from the shackles of order!
In the end, in essence, it's like the real ordinary people with power, and the awakened ones hidden in the crowd!
In the concept of ordinary people in power, of course, they don't want the awakened to be exposed to the eyes of ordinary people, especially for those in power, of course, they hope to eliminate these special existences that are incompatible with the current social order and can easily threaten the lives of ordinary people, or, at the very least, they hope that the awakened can obey the law like ordinary people, live under order like ordinary people, and act like ordinary people. Able to accept the punishment of the law after committing a crime......
However, for the Awakened, this is precisely what they cannot accept. Even if it's not just because of pride or whatever. The vast majority of the Awakened do not consider themselves to be the same kind of people as ordinary people. They will obey the law most of the time, they will obey the order of society most of the time, but they will not sit idly by, and they will not allow others to infringe on their interests......
To put it simply, they are willing to be law-abiding citizens, but they do not guarantee that they will never use their power for their own benefit......
The reason is actually very simple, when a person has the ability to change some of the status quo that he is not used to, and has the ability to ensure that he will not be retaliated against or affected by this. Most people don't mind doing something they want to do and change something they don't like......
This point, just like the various heroes in American comics, when they are ordinary people, they tend to obey order, but when they become superheroes, order naturally becomes a floating cloud for them......
This is not because they are unwilling to obey the law, but because the power they possess is itself illegal!
It sounds ridiculous. But that's the reality!
For example, Spider-Man's ability to fly off walls, basically. The vast majority of people with this ability can be defined as criminals rather than superheroes, and when he uses this ability that ordinary people do not have, he is already doomed to be impossible to uphold the law and order as an ordinary person......
In the eyes of some extreme ordinary people, having superpowers is a crime in itself, and even a disease in itself!
Just like in the world of X-Men, ordinary people often have such cognitions and attitudes towards mutants, and in their cognition, this superpower, this power that violates the existing order, is itself not supposed to exist, and it is a kind of pathological expression in itself!
In other words, superpowers themselves and the law are naturally contradictory, if a person has superpowers, he is actually naturally breaking the law, even if he doesn't do anything, it's the same reason!
For ordinary people, especially those in power among ordinary people, they don't want the existence of those superpowers who can absolutely shake the power of order appear in this world, if it is discovered, in the case of a small number and the destructive power is not strong, co-optation is the best choice, and if the destructive power of the superpowers exceeds a certain order of magnitude, then humane destruction will become the only option!
In fact, don't say it's superpowers, even if it's a high-level hacker who is also an ordinary person, the government's attitude towards them is actually the same, a little hacker who doesn't have any skills, he will go to jail if he is caught, there is nothing to say, high-level hackers who have a certain ability but can control zhì are often recruited, as for those freak hackers who have amazing skills and can control zhì such as the national weapons system at every turn, the vast majority of them will encounter humane destruction......
In the final analysis, for those in power, those who can be accused must be accused, and those who cannot be accused must be destroyed, for them, this is the true way of order!
Such an idea, from the perspective of the person in power, cannot be said to be wrong, but the same idea, if from the perspective of the awakened, is absurd, from the perspective of the awakened, they have supernatural abilities, which in itself means that they have more superior genes than ordinary people, and in itself it means that they are higher beings, that is, because of this, for the vast majority of awakened people, they cannot bear to accept the command of ordinary people......
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the difference in the positions of the two sides!
Just like the position between the slave and the slave owner, from the position of the slave owner, the slave is his own private property, and the slave belongs to himself, no matter how he treats the slave, the slave must maintain absolute loyalty, otherwise it is a great rebellion, even if he is beaten to death, he deserves it!
However, if from the standpoint of slaves, they will feel that they should not be enslaved by others, everyone should be free, they should pay for their labor, they should have something to gain, for any ideal slave, they will not let go of any opportunity to escape from the master's control, if the conditions allow, they will not hesitate to kill their master, and then let themselves get free in the true sense, even if it is at the expense of their lives!
Such a contradiction. Actually, in essence. There is no solution!
Both sides have their own positions. Both sides have their own demands, and what both sides want, there are irreconcilable things!
So, often at this time, the only thing that can compete is each other's strength!
If the slave is strong enough, then he can overthrow his master and gain freedom and wealth from his master, and vice versa. If the slave owners were strong enough, they would be able to bloodily suppress the opposition and make the slaves obedient to work......
And the contradiction between the awakened and the ordinary people is actually like this in a big way!
In fact, in the Western world, there have been considerable disputes between the awakened and ordinary people, but most of them have been hidden in the torrent of history, while in the Eastern world, the relationship between the awakened and ordinary people is relatively better, at least not a sabre-rattling relationship. Neither the top of the Awakened nor the top of ordinary people were too radical in their desire to replace or eliminate each other. Therefore, for a long time, they have maintained a state of peace with each other......
But in essence, both sides are well aware that this relative calm is really just the calm before the storm......
Yes, the calm before the storm!
For ordinary people in power, on the one hand, they want the power of the Awakened to be used for themselves, and even hope that they or their descendants can become Awakened, but on the other hand, they don't want the Awakened to be so powerful that they can skip the law and order and do something less harmonious......
For those in power, they don't want their rights to be stored in the slightest, they want to be able to get real power in the real sense, and not to be killed in a supernatural way after committing some small mistakes......
For the awakened, they hope to appear in the field of vision of ordinary people openly, hope to be able to get the fear or envy of ordinary people openly, and hope that their own strength can no longer be a night walk in brocade clothes, but can really be recognized by others......
And the contradiction between the two, in fact, is almost irreconcilable to a great extent, for ordinary people in power, they do not want the awakened to enter the sight of ordinary people on a large scale, because in this way, the rights of those in power will inevitably have a great decline......
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the difference in position between the two camps of chaos and order!
There is bound to be a contradiction between the chaotic who seek freedom and the orderly who want to bring all the qiē under their control......
Of course, in the vast majority of the time, order and chaos often form a dynamic balance, in the vast majority of the time, order will occupy the absolute upper hand, but the existence of chaos will never die, in fact, even if the chaotic side occasionally overwhelms the orderly side, when chaos gains the initiative, in fact, it will naturally transform into the camp of order......
This, like those rebels, rebels rebel and are themselves a chaotic party, but when they succeed in their rebellion and establish a state, they will establish a new order and become a new order......
In other words, no matter how the world changes, the strong side will always be the one who abides by the order, and the weak side will always be the destroyer!
In fact, the Assassin's existence, the Assassin's faith, is actually to constantly change the corresponding balance between the two......
If the dynasty is stable, then the target of the Assassins is those rebels who are trying to reach the top of the dynasty, and if the dynasty collapses, then the goal of the assassins is to end the already collapsed dynasty as much as possible, so that a new order can be established!
Throughout the ages, it is better than that!
is like the bridge in Heaven and Dragon Slayer, although Zhu Yuanzhang finally became the emperor, but for Zhang Wuji, who is the protagonist, he is still a character who can be killed at will, this is a natural balance!
The meaning of the assassin's cunning, in a certain sense, is a kind of supervision!
In this world, as long as anyone in power loses supervision, then it is difficult to truly avoid the abuse of power!
But any person in power will never want to have someone above him who can supervise and sanction him, that is, because of this, almost every person in power will not continue to operate their own network and constantly move towards higher rights, in order to one day stand on the pinnacle of power and not be restricted by anyone!
In this world, many truths are often difficult for ordinary people to understand!
But for Wang Yu at this moment, he faintly has a certain understanding of the way of assassins!
The so-called assassins themselves are a kind of supervision of order!
Sometimes, even if the top assassins don't make a move, they just need to be alive to make the people in power work diligently!
That's the power of the Assassins!
In other words, any peerless powerhouse, in essence, has such power!
They may not be the masters of this world on the surface, but they really control the flow of this world!
The world is not managed by them, but their power is enough for them to easily replace the original managers!
If you have to use an analogy, the head of every country, in essence, can only be regarded as a company manager who works for the really strong, and only these powerful people are the directors of the company in the real sense, and they are the chess players behind the huge chessboard of the world!
And the so-called power of dragon slaying is actually such a power! (To be continued......)
