Chapter 274: The Mortal Road
In the past, Lin Feng didn't think that the life of mortals in Nanling was very good, but now he knew that it was a heaven-like existence for mortals outside.
In Nanling, monks who kill mortals will be punished with spirit stones, originally Lin Feng thought that this was very unfair, but out of Nanling, monks who killed mortals would not be punished at all.
He gradually understood why there were no mortals in Zhongtianzhou, and in the long run, he was afraid that there would be no mortals except for Nanling, and at that time, how long could Nanling last?
General Lin, the intention of letting themselves see this world where mortals are located is this, there are no mortals, all the monks sound like a kind of civilization progress, but it is a kind of regression of human nature, at that time, is it really progress?
"Why do you ...... like this" Lin Feng was puzzled, cannibalism was already cruel, why couldn't monks tolerate mortals?
"It's not that it can't be tolerated, it's about interests. Miao Yuanlong took out a spirit beast Neidan and put it in his hand, "I killed spirit beasts for profit, and they also killed mortals for profit." ”
These words came out of the mouth of the brutalized Miao Yuanlong, which made Lin Feng feel incredulous, and he retorted loudly: "Killing spirit beasts is the way to survive, and how to compare killing spirit beasts with killing people, although spirit beasts are called spirits, they have no spirit intelligence, they only act according to instinct, even if they are sixth-order spirit beasts, they are essentially beasts, and they can only be called demons after the great divine power has opened their spiritual intelligence, and there is an essential difference between the two." Moreover, even if the spirit beast is not a last resort, it will not harm the same kind, although you and I are monks, we are still human beings, even if we cultivate to become immortals, we are still human beings!"
Shen Manting once took pity on the electric claw tiger who turned into an innate Dao rhyme, and sighed that the Heavenly Dao was ruthless, Lin Feng was indifferent to this, not because he had no sympathy, but because this was the Dao, it could also be said that he thought of the Dao, the spirit beast did not open the spiritual intelligence, but it was born stronger than mortals, and the demon clan was also born stronger than mortals, but the cultivation of the demon race took a longer time than that of humans, and only after successfully transforming could they barely catch up with the cultivation speed of the human race.
This is another kind of fairness of the Heavenly Dao, and besides, the spirit beast is not without the opportunity to open the spiritual wisdom, just like the cultivation of the human race, the Heavenly Dao will always leave you with vitality, but it depends on whether you can catch it yourself.
It is right that the Heavenly Dao is ruthless, because the Heavenly Dao can only be just if it is ruthless.
And people have affection, so they can't be absolutely just, so the human race and the demon race are both groups that huddle together for warmth, and if they can't be absolutely just, they must rely on the strength of the group to maintain justice.
But this world is wrong, from top to bottom, completely wrong, and therefore there is no justice at all, there is no monk to speak up for those persecuted mortals, they don't realize that they were once one of the mortals, maybe after successful cultivation, they are even more glad that they have separated from the mortal group.
Miao Yuanlong's words made Lin Feng very disappointed, he didn't expect this former victim to say such a thing, did he also feel that those mortals had nothing to do with him?
Lin Feng's eyes gradually became indifferent, Miao Yuanlong didn't seem to notice, his expression was not shocked, and he only heard him say lightly: "Brother Lin, would you like to go with me?"
Lin Feng's invitation was rejected earlier, but now Miao Yuanlong took the initiative to invite.
"Where?"
"Go the way. ”
The road to heaven is the way for mortals, but when they reach the door, they can't get in, so they can only sit outside the desolate pass, quietly waiting for death.
The road was full of loess, and there was not a trace of green in sight, and occasionally a few trees were left with dry trunks, and the bark had long since been stripped away, leaving only smooth wood.
Noticing Lin Feng's eyes, Miao Yuanlong spoke: "You may not know, when I first saw this dead tree, it was more than three feet thick, and it had no bark at that time. ”
But now what Lin Feng saw was only a foot thick.
"Stripped of the bark of the tree, and after the wind and sun, those hungry homeless people thought that it was still the bark, and so on again and again, it became the scene today, and the homeless people who could come here were already a minority, but they did not know that heaven was in front of them but they were not allowed to enter. ”
The trees are like this, and it is no wonder that there is a desolation in the pass, and I am afraid that everything that can be eaten will be eaten.
"In that case, why don't they go the other way?"
"Another way?" Miao Yuanlong looked at Lin Feng and smiled, and said, "Because the big people above only allow them to take this path." ”
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, after a while, he figured it out, these homeless people crossing the border are like 'locusts', there is no life, how can the people above allow them to go to other places, just like Nanling does not allow these homeless people to enter, it is not that Nanling does not want to, but can't.
Most of these homeless people are old people, or people who are physically handicapped, who have no ability to work, and are useless in the eyes of those monks, so they acquiesce to them to the mortal path, as if giving them a glimmer of life, but it is even more cruel.
After a little further on, I could see some of the homeless, exhausted and shaky, and a one-armed man, staggering a few steps, falling to the ground with a thud, and never getting up again.
When some of the refugees on both sides saw this, a flash of sharpness flashed in their eyes, and then they disappeared, burying their heads and continuing to walk their own way.
"In this desperate situation, I still know that my kind cannot eat each other, and even if the exiles want to compare with those monks, I don't know how noble they are. ”
Lin Feng wanted to go and bury the one-armed man, but Miao Yuanlong stopped him, "You think of them too well, it's just an order from above, they are afraid of the monks more than their own survival, and you don't have to deal with the corpses on this road, some homeless people are hired to do this." ”
Disposing of the corpses may be the real vitality that these displaced people can grasp. It's no wonder that there is only loess on this road, and there are no dead bodies to be seen, but I didn't expect that there are special people on this road who are responsible for collecting corpses, and the people above don't let these homeless people cannibalize each other, but they are the main cause of all this, which is really ironic.
The conversation between the two finally attracted the attention of these homeless people, and their eyes, which were like walking corpses, flashed with surprise, and they ran forward with their heads hung down, and their vitality dried up, and they fell to the ground without running two steps.
Lin Feng couldn't bear to see this scene, he couldn't go down this road, he didn't want to kill more people because of his status as a monk, he took out some food from the storage ring, he still didn't feel enough, and wanted to take it out but was stopped by Miao Yuanlong, "Put it away, you can't save anyone with these things." ”
Lin Feng was silent, Shaoqing, seemed to have figured it out, and put it into the storage ring, the root of the homeless people is not in the food, but in the thoughts of the monks above, if this is the scene outside the South Ridge, no matter how much Lin Feng takes it out, he can't save anyone, it's just to let a few people go a little further.
If you don't give food, Lu Linfeng can't go on, you can't save it, at least don't let them die because of yourself.
"You think they died because of you?" Miao Yuanlong asked.
Lin Feng smiled softly and nodded, "I understand, I will go down this road." ”
The two continued to move forward, in the opposite direction of the homeless, Lin Feng seemed to stabilize his mentality, and when he saw those dead homeless people again, his heart was much calmer, he and Miao Yuanlong were just spectators on this road.
Along the way, Miao Yuanlong didn't say a word, and when it was getting dark, he beckoned Lin Feng to stop and rest, the two of them were not fast along the way, they could rush to Jianxing City before dark, but now they didn't go far, and they could only rest on the desolate road.
And those homeless people who were in a hurry also stopped, stopping a few miles away from the two of them, and with Lin Feng's eyesight, they could only see a rough idea.
"Brother Miao should want me to help them, right?" and Miao Yuanlong walked all the way, Lin Feng also knew that he was not the kind of person who forgot the past, he took himself on this road, with the same intention as General Lin and them, the difference is that General Lin and they are because they are the 'Imperial Spirit Immortal Body', it is possible to change this situation.
Miao Yuanlong was different, he just wanted more monks to see this scene, and he didn't want to change the situation, he just wanted to have more people like the Qi Refining Stage monk who saved him at the beginning.
"You're the first person to walk here with me. Xu has experienced too many disappointments, Miao Yuanlong's tone is extremely flat, "The first time I walked this road was when I was ten years old, at that time I took Engong's identity certificate, and set foot on this road alone, Engong told me that if I have an identity certificate, I can enter heaven, I went in, but Engong lied to me." ”
Lin Feng understands that how can other people's identity certificates be borrowed, if you take any identity certificate and count them, then the identity certificate will not play a role in proving identity.
"But I'm just lucky, I fell off the car and didn't die and met Engong, and when I entered the customs, I didn't pass the identity check and met a kind general, I felt that God let me live to let me do a big thing. Miao Yuanlong took out a piece of animal skin and lay down under him, and gave Lin Feng another piece.
Lin Feng took it and lay down like him, continuing to listen to Miao Yuanlong's story.
"At that time, I felt that God let me live to save these mortals, so I set foot on this road for the second time, and I spent all my money to buy a few carts of white noodles, they were afraid at first, and when I left, one by one rushed up to scramble, but I was afraid that I would be trampled to death several times more than those who ate my carts of white noodles. ”
This may also be the reason why Miao Yuanlong prevented Lin Feng from leaving food before, and he then spoke: "I went back and thought about it for a long time, Bai Mian couldn't save them, I thought about teaching them to cultivate, so I set foot on this road for the third time, I found some people with physical disabilities and physical strength that were relatively good, and left them my exercises, hoping that they could become cultivators and obtain identity certificates to enter Nanling, but they only took the exercises I left behind as food, and trampled a bunch of people to death, and finally that exercise fell into various fragments into some people's stomachs." ”
It's not okay to teach people to fish, and it's not okay to teach people to fish either, because these homeless people don't know how to fish, and even if they have the exercises, they still can't cultivate, and they don't have the energy to think about how to cultivate.
