"Your inner demon is the ideal of building the underworld and transforming humanity?" I muttered.

Peng Liang laughed: "Is this difficult to understand? The reason why I will suffer in Hell is because I want to be Lord of Hades. Will the real Lord of Yama let someone else be the Lord of Yama? Since ancient times, rebellion has been a great crime, known as a great rebellion, and if you catch it, you will be executed. After all, the underworld is a world made up of people who become ghosts after death, and this custom has also been inherited. Think about it, if you go to challenge the authority of Lord Yama, isn't that still looking for death, and he can still keep you? So it makes sense that I was burned and tortured in hell. ”

He said it in a good way, but I didn't think something was right. Lord Yama is in charge of the Netherworld Realm, and he is the title of God, so would he be so careful?

I said, "Peng Liang, if you are allowed to be the Lord of Yama, will you also use harsh punishment to treat other ghosts who want to be the Lord of Yama?" ”

This sentence stunned Peng Liang, he looked at me and said with a smile: "Liu Yang, Liu Yang, you always ask such a heart-wrenching question." I haven't really thought about that. If I were to be Lord Yama, I would do the same, and it would not be a joke to challenge the authority of the sect leader. ”

Seeing that I didn't speak, he continued: "Later, I shuttled between the delusional underworld and the real underworld, and suddenly pondered a problem. That is, if I want to get out of the hell fire, I must cultivate to become an immortal and become a true king of the underworld! This is also the most important way to break delusion on the road of cultivating immortals, breaking delusion and breaking delusions, in order to achieve the immortal fruit position. ”

"Then how do you fix it?" I asked curiously.

Peng Liang said: "My true body is undergoing the tempering of hellfire all the time, but I have not found the secret to breaking the delusion. I have created many worlds, and we are now in one of them, and I am looking for the answer to the delusion in these delusional worlds, but I just can't find the key. ”

I thought for a while and said, "Peng Liang, in fact, I know that you can't break your delusion for anything." ”

"Tell me." Peng Liang looked at me with interest.

"Actually, what you said at the beginning was very right, your inner demon is to build the underworld to transform human beings, and it is your biggest delusion."

Peng Liang was shocked and did not speak.

"Why do you think that the world you have established is heaven on earth?" I asked.

Peng Liang laughed: "It turns out that you are this problem, I can tell you my ambitions." The paradise I imagine on earth would be equal for all, equal in wealth, and free from the ...... of money."

I waved my hand and said, "Aren't you utopian?" As you mentioned, there have been many similar experiments in human history, but they all ended in tragedy. Human nature is inherently selfish......"

"That's why I want to be the Lord of Yama, and I want to start from the most fundamental human nature and transform the soul of mankind. Let everyone become a new human being without selfishness, so as to create a beautiful paradise on earth. Peng Liang said with a smile.

I sigh that there is no shortage of such madmen in history, and what is more terrifying is that such madmen have the greatest power and ability, and have the right to speak in life and death. I said, "Peng Liang, what standard do you use to transform your soul?" How do you know that the soul you have transformed is the perfect new human? ”

He was about to say something, but I waved my hand and continued: "Peng Liang, let me tell you a little story. ”

He fell silent and gestured to me.

"A scientist otaku, very good at skills, but he is a failure in life, he has been in love many times, all of them ended in failure, he feels that women are imperfect creatures, and he doesn't understand him at all. Then he began to design the program, to design a theoretically perfect woman, to fall in love with himself. In the process, he fell in love with the machine while correcting the program at any time. As long as this machine does not think about himself in the process of falling in love, he will modify it immediately. Let's imagine the ending, what will this robot woman be modified by him in the end? ”

Peng Liang smiled: "It's a creepy story. He paused and said, "The last thing he did was to build a machine slave?" Whatever you want, that's your slave. ”

"Have you thought about it on a deeper level?" I said, "She does what you want, and at the same time you depend on her existence, and you are also her slave." ”

After saying this, Peng Liang seemed to have an understanding, and he looked ahead blankly.

"You have the ideal of transforming heaven on earth, but at the same time you rely on this delusion, so you can't find a way to break the delusion. In fact, the will to pursue perfection is itself a point of no return. What you want is not a perfect person, you are just fabricating the perfect model in your mind step by step. If your perfect will is a demon, then what you get at the end is a concrete image of your demon. I said.

Peng Liang remained silent.

"Actually, Peng Liang, you can completely recreate a world realm. What is this world like, it is the perfect world in your heart. You can take that world as a social test to see what the perfect world will be like in your mind, and whether it is in line with your original intention of social transformation. ”

Peng Liang smiled: "Liu Yang, your idea is really good." ”

"I think your way to devastation is there. I can imagine the end of you," I said, "only two." One is that you can't get the ideal result, you keep transforming, stirring between the ideal and the reality, and you are tired to death after the end; And then there's the one that you get is disillusionment, a bubble, an empty space. ”

"Hehe, why is it so tragic?" Peng Liang smiled.

"Because there's one of the biggest paradoxes here, you're not perfect yourself, so how did you create a perfect world?"

Peng Liang laughed, pointed at me, and laughed so much that tears came out.

"Is my word funny?" I say.

Peng Liang shook his head: "Liu Yang, didn't you think you would become an immortal?" ”

I smiled dumbly: "You might as well ask me if I want to be the emperor." ”

"I suddenly have a question," Peng Liang said, "Sometimes I wonder what is the difference between the real underworld where people go after death and the underworld that I have imagined in my delusional life." Could the real underworld also be the delusion of some immortal who wants to break the delusion? Liu Yang, since you said that my thoughts are not transparent, what about the real Lord of Yama? His realm is not necessarily high. ”

I was a little strange: "Why do you have to worry about Lord Yama?" According to my meaning, there is no such thing as Lord Hades in the real underworld! It is precisely because you have the Lord of this world in your concept that you have fallen into the path of delusion. If there is a real underworld, I believe that the place was not created by anyone, but by the chaos of the Heavenly Dao. The so-called world has no emperor, and the saint goes to wisdom. It doesn't matter if you say it, it doesn't count if I say it, who says it? Road! ”

Peng Liang laughed: "Okay, good, Chaowen said, you can die at night." Liu Yang, I'll give you a gift. ”

As he spoke, he patted the black coffin behind him.

"What is this?"

Peng Liang smiled: "You can open it and see it." I didn't understand why this thing appeared here at first, but when you came, I realized that everything was in the elephant. Since your appearance is here to enlighten me, then it is not rude to come, and I will also give you such a gift. ”

I walked over in confusion, held on to the coffin lid, and slammed it hard, only to hear a "crunch" sound, and the coffin lid pushed open a gap. I shone a flashlight into it, and there was a corpse lying faintly in the black forest.

I looked at Peng Liang, and Peng Liang made a gesture to continue.

I pushed the lid of the coffin hard, and finally pushed it open with a "boom", and the lid fell to the ground entirely. This coffin was very deep, and the black gas inside rolled up, like a layer of black mist shrouded over the corpse. The flashlight shone brightly, and the light barely pierced the smoke, and it could be seen that there was a woman lying inside, about twenty years old, very delicate, with delicate facial features, and her eyes were closed tightly at the moment, motionless.

When I saw this woman, I was stunned. When I saw her, I felt like I had known her for a long time. Seeing her lying there in ignorance, my heart hurts, as if it had been torn apart.

Peng Liang said: "Do you see this woman inside?" ”

I didn't speak.

"Her name is Wang Xiaoyu, and she has a lot of karma with you. Where's your cigarette? He asked.

I quickly turned on my flashlight and searched around the ground to find the cigarette.

"Remember those ghosts you overstated?" Peng Liang said: "The cigarette in your hand is marked with eight characters, which corresponds to a ghost. But look at the last one. ”

I picked it up and looked at it carefully, and was surprised to find that there was no eight characters written on it.

Peng Liang said: "This cigarette can transcend any person, and the person who is overtaken will leave this world and return to the yang world." You now have two choices, one is Wang Xiaoyu in front of Chaodu, and the other is Wang Zitong outside Chaodujing. Liu Yang, you were right just now, and now I want to test whether you are the unity of knowledge and action. Look at this last cigarette, who will you choose? ”

My heart was pounding.

"Ah," Peng Liang seemed to think of something: "Wang Zitong outside this matter also has the right to know, let her see how you choose." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab Wang Xiaoyu from the coffin, and with the other hand, he directly lifted my neck collar, and one jumped up out of thin air in the well, soared quickly, and came out of the well in a blink of an eye.

Wang Zitong was anxiously guarding the well, when suddenly a puff of black smoke rushed out, she was startled, and took a few steps back. Peng Liang threw me and Wang Xiaoyu outside the well, laughed for a long time, turned into black smoke and dispersed, and there was no trace of him.

Wang Zitong saw me come out safe and sound, cried with joy, ran over and grabbed my hand: "Uncle, you are fine, I miss you so much." ”

Looking at the girl's pure face and the care from the heart, my heart was like a thousand needles through it, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
