Chapter 287: The Original Intention of Cultivation (Part I)
Cultivating and embarking on the path of a monk has a corresponding cause. People don't do something for no reason, as long as they do it, they must have a purpose, as the saying goes, there is a cause to have an effect, this is the truth.
Ye Wuxian was thinking, what was the reason for his first cultivation, and what was the reason?
Slowly closing his eyes, the original bits and pieces, little by little, emerged. I can still remember that when he first came into contact with the monk, he was with Wang Yuntian. At the beginning, a number of monks visited Wang Yuntian and wanted to worship Wang Yuntian as a teacher, but during that time, Wang Yuntian's door was about to be broken.
He was only a few years old, and he listened to them talk about the monks, and saw how respectful those people were in order to worship Wang Yuntian as a teacher. looked at Wang Yuntian's eyes, all respectful and fearful.
That was the first time he was curious about the existence of monks.
Later, when Zhang Jiao reached the age, she ran to Wang Yuntian and asked Wang Yuntian to teach her to cultivate. Wang Yuntian agreed, and Zhang Jiao began her cultivation journey and embarked on the path of a monk.
Together with Zhang Jiao, he saw Zhang Jiao break a big piece with one punch. With a weak body, he smashed a stone with such a punch, this was the second time he had become curious about the monk, and this curiosity was still very strong, with a hint of longing.
At that time, the desire may be very simple, but he was full of desire for power, longing that he could be like Zhang Jiao, breaking a stone with one punch.
Later, he went out with Zhang Jiao and Liu Yuxin and went to Yunyang City to play. I ran into a few thugs, saw them as children, and wanted to bully them. That time, he saw Zhang Jiao defeat an adult who was much taller than them with his weak body.
With one punch, two punches, three punches, an adult who was taller and more powerful than them was knocked to the ground. At that time, he had a strong desire for monks for the first time. He also hopes that he can defeat such an adult, instead of hiding behind Zhang Jiao with Liu Yuxin.
For this reason, he also went to Wang Yuntian, hoping that Wang Yuntian would teach him to cultivate. That was Wang Yuntian, who had always followed him, rejected him for the first time.
He could still remember that Wang Yuntian had asked him one sentence at the beginning, "Why do you want to cultivate?"
"I want to think that my eldest sister is as powerful, and she can knock down those who bully us with one punch and one kick!"
These were his answers, however, the response he got was just a shake of Wang Yuntian's head.
He was not convinced, he grabbed Wang Yuntian and asked loudly why Zhang Jiao could cultivate. That was the first time he refuted Wang Yuntian!
"I am a monk, I should sweep away all evil in the world and restore the world to a clean place!"
Wang Yuntian told him that this was the reason Zhang Jiao gave him, and that was why he taught Zhang Jiao to cultivate.
He was not convinced, and Wang Yuntian told him that cultivating a group was full of endless difficulties and obstacles. If you don't have a clear goal, you will only continue to be lost, and you will become an ordinary person who does nothing and goes with the flow. He, Wang Yuntian's child, can't become the top monk, so be an ordinary person quietly!
He was very confused, because he didn't understand, but he was unwilling, and he secretly cultivated without Wang Yuntian.
Until again, together with Liu Yuxin, he entered the Yunyang Mountain Range. In distress in the Yunyang Mountains, Liu Yuxin was wounded, and the two almost died that time. The big mouth of the brute beast bit on the left half of Liu Yuxin's body. Liu Yuxin was covered in blood. Almost eaten by brutes. If Wang Yuntian hadn't arrived in time, the two of them would have become food for the beast's mouth.
The reason for that incident, in the final analysis, was that he was too arrogant, thinking that he had learned something, and he wanted to take Liu Yuxin with him to hunt brute beasts. Who knows, the lowest-level brute beasts are not something he can fight against.
On that day, Wang Yuntian did not blame him in the slightest, so he put Liu Yuxin, who was seriously injured and unconscious, on the bed, and the two sat on the ground, Wang Yuntian asked him again,
"What are you cultivating for?"
In Ye Wuxian's eyes, there was only Liu Yuxin's desperate cry when he was attacked by the brute beast and the miserable cry when he was bitten by the brute beast. Liu Yuxin's blood-stained figure kept surrounding him in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Hearing Wang Yuntian's question, his heart was unexpectedly calm. However, those eyes were full of strong unwillingness and strong killing intent. Liu Yuxin's blood-stained figure is something he will never get away with in his life!
"I don't know, I really don't know!"
Ye Wuxian shouted frantically, he really didn't know, how could he say it, just looking at the majesty of the monk, he wanted to cultivate, how could he!
"Is your cultivation just for Yu Xin to endure such pain with you?"
Wang Yuntian pointed to Liu Yuxin on the side, but the blood stains on Liu Yuxin's body were not treated. The bright red clothes and pale face gave Ye Wuxian an incomparably strong impact.
At that time, he was only a few years old, how old was he!
"No, I'm not, I'm not!"
Ye Wuxian hurriedly shouted, it was the first time that there were six gods and no masters like this, and he had never been so flustered.
"Cultivation is just a momentary vanity, isn't it?"
Wang Yuntian sneered, and the mocking tone made Ye Wuxian hold his head and shake his head vigorously.
"No, it's not!"
"Haven't you always wanted to cultivate? Now that you've become a monk, what have you gotten again? Is it just to let my sister be bruised and dying?"
Wang Yuntian pointed to Liu Yuxin on the side and reprimanded him very harshly.
"I don't want to, I don't want to! I just look at the eldest sister who can protect us ......."
Ye Wuxian shook his head vigorously, he didn't dare to look at Liu Yuxin on the side, the cultivation he had been pursuing so hard had obtained such a result, which made him unable to accept it!
"You have also seen what the final result is! But do you know what caused this?" Wang Yuntian's tone gradually eased.
"What?" Ye Wuxian squeezed his hands and asked nervously.
"That's because you're not strong enough, if you're as strong as your grandfather, how can this beast hurt your sister!" Wang Yuntian said.
Ye Wuxian was stunned, remembering that when he and Liu Yuxin were in danger, Wang Yuntian suddenly appeared and killed the brute beast with one finger. Wang Yuntian's strong strength made that brute beast not have the slightest resistance and also let them out of danger, this is strength.
"As long as you become as strong as grandpa, can you protect your sister?"
Ye Wuxian clenched his fists, looked up at Wang Yuntian, and said in a trembling voice, his eyes were full of desire.
"Do you want to meet the situation today? Do you want to see your sister fall in the mouth of a brute?"
Wang Yuntian chuckled, walked up to Liu Yuxin, stroked Liu Yuxin's face with some pity, and wiped the blood on her face.
Liu Yuxin's blood-stained figure blocked from the mouth of the brute beast instantly appeared in Ye Wuxian's mind. Ye Wuxian shook his head vigorously and shouted loudly, "I don't want to, I never want such a thing to happen!"
Ye Wuxian shouted hoarsely, he would never want to, such a thing, it happened in front of him, never, he didn't want to see it, Liu Yuxin was injured in front of him, dying in front of him.
"However, in this world, there are many dangers, there are many powerful brute beasts, even stronger than grandpa, and there are many bad people. Moreover, grandpa will also slowly grow old and lose his strength. What would you do if you had such a day?"
Wang Yuntian shook his head lightly, constantly guiding Ye Wuxian.
"No one can hurt my sister, and my sister and grandfather!
Ye Wuxian yelled in a panic, he didn't allow such a thing to happen, he would never allow it.
"Cultivating together is to go against the sky, and the way of cultivation needs to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the aura of heaven and earth belongs to heaven and earth. The way of heaven is constant, life is a fixed number, and ordinary people are old, sick and die, which is the principle of heaven. And cultivators, prolonging their lives is against the principles of heaven. The treasures of heaven and earth, born of heaven and earth, and taken by monks, are against the sky. ”
"Cultivating together, snatching aura, robbing heavenly treasures, stealing heavenly dao, and taking life with the sky, it is against the sky!"
"If you go against the sky, you will be punished by heaven, so the monk's life is not destined to be peaceful. Born to conquer the way of heaven, go against the sky, die and return to heaven and earth, silently. ”
Wang Yuntian said slowly, this sentence, Ye Wuxian at that time, did not understand. To him, the monk was just a very strange existence. At that time, in his opinion, the monk was just an unusual, very powerful being.
Now that I think about it, Wang Yuntian's sentence explains every word, and it explains the existence of a monk very thoroughly.
That's right, cultivators, whether it's the aura they absorb or the heavenly treasures they take, it's not a thing of this heaven and earth. It is not an exaggeration to call this kind of behavior a robber. This kind of existence is like a parasite for heaven and earth. How can heaven and earth tolerate such an existence, in the dark, all kinds of difficulties will descend on these parasite-like monks.
Isn't it equivalent to stealing the fruits of heaven and earth when a cultivator comprehends the way of heaven and earth, the law of heaven and earth? Monks, on the other hand, live for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. Isn't this a violation of the rules of heaven and earth? Isn't this kind of behavior against heaven and earth going against heaven?
Therefore, the existence of a monk is an existence against the heavens, and it should not exist in the heavens and the earth!
For heaven and earth, it may be true, but for human beings, the way of cultivation is a means, a means to protect oneself. When the first path of cultivation appeared, the purpose was very simple.
The ancestors of mankind lamented the weakness of human beings and were so vulnerable in the face of natural disasters. Tsunami, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts, hail, fires, plagues.
There are also attacks from brute beasts, threats from other races.
In the beginning, the emergence of cultivation was just a simple means for human beings to rebel against nature, against heaven and earth, and against brute beasts. It is purely a means of self-preservation.
In other words, the emergence of the path of cultivation is nothing more than a means for human beings to protect themselves.
