6. Deprivation and protection
"As for what ability your soul has, it's up to you to develop it yourself, even a very weak soul has an incomparable effect on other souls on some occasions, this kind of development is related to the individual's talent, I don't know how to develop it, after all, I am a demon clan, and I don't have your innate soul. β
Ji Dao nodded: "Qing, do you believe that I can really turn over, even if I have a soul, talent and the like, I really don't have any confidence at all." β
Qing thought about it, and yes, this age of Jidao has been despised since childhood, and there is no inferiority complex in my heart, which is called abnormal.
"You don't have to worry about this, there is a good saying, don't bully young people to be poor. There were people who were similar to you before, but in the end, they also became big shots. β
It stands to reason that there are no longer a few examples of this kind, how many geniuses were buried before, and only then did they meet a discerning master and then they were discovered, and in terms of the soul of the extreme path alone, the soul stone alone has so much energy, so there is naturally no need to worry about the development in the future.
Seeing that Jidao still didn't seem to believe it, Qing continued to speak.
"This was about 7,000 years ago, I hadn't become an emperor at that time, but my strength was not bad, and one day I met a young man, who was a few years older than you. I heard from my subordinates that this young man's name was Zhen, and when he was young, he was discovered by an elder of a large sect because he had obtained a treasure, and the elder wanted to steal this treasure, so he led a team of men and horses to their family. How can the strength of their family be compared to that of the great sects? So he also handed over the treasure, but the pair did not leave immediately, but robbed him of almost all the valuable things in his family, and the family soon declined. β
Ji Dao seemed to listen very seriously, Qing smiled when he saw his appearance, and continued: "But that young man was not discouraged, but swallowed his anger, worked hard for a hundred years, and finally led this group of people to level that sect, and finally avenged the original revenge, I don't know much about the process, but the general situation is like this." You see, even if you have nothing, you can eventually reach the top with this hard work, not to mention you, you and your sister, and all the people who love you, what do you have to worry about?"
"Qing. Jidao paused, and tried to say something but stopped.
"Just ask, if you don't have the right mind, it will have a great impact on your future cultivation. β
For a young man like Jidao, although he is a Terran, he is also very keen to answer his questions, because Jidao can really make him feel a little interested, although it may dissipate later, but it is enough for him.
"What is the purpose of our cultivation?"
Jidao's tone was very low, and after listening to such a story, his entire facial expression was not pleasant, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were a little confused. Clearly, this is the embodiment of confusion, and the extreme path must have its own thoughts, its own feelings.
"The purpose, this varies from person to person, and some people are for their own dignity, just like Zhen. Some people are to protect their loved ones, and some people are just for fame and status, which is not accurate. But don't worry, no matter what the purpose is, as long as you have a purpose, it will not have an impact on the cultivation process, but it may have an impact on the direction of cultivation, so it's best to set a positive purpose, if you step into the evil path in the future, then you will be doomed. β
"We cultivate to protect our loved ones, to help the weak, does this necessarily mean depriving, depriving others, and enriching ourselves?"
Being asked by Ji Dao like this, Qing felt a little inexplicable, and the young man in front of him, his thoughts seemed to be a little different.
I only heard Jidao continue:
"It was a big sect, and there would be countless young people who would come there to study with the expectations of their families. Like me, they do everything they can to get to a good place where their families can be proud. They come with hope, but when this sect is destroyed, what will they feel? Why is that? Why does a person's revenge have to be achieved by depriving them of hope? Qing, if a person wants to achieve something, he must do it by depriving other people? And innocent people. β
Qing was slightly stunned by the question, he glanced at Jidao, the latter's face was full of the word puzzle, and he looked at Qing blankly, eager to get an answer from him.
But it must have been the first time he had been asked such a question.
Qing Cong's extreme life turned to thought, and then he realized.
Jidao has been excluded for many years, and his feelings of hope must be much deeper than those of his peers, and this kind of thinking will lead him to think more about problems from people who are similar to himself, although Zhen is also similar to him, but maybe Jidao does not agree with his approach.
"But if you don't do this, won't this kind of family feud need to be avenged?"
Qing asked rhetorically, this is a very important question, yes, it is impossible not to take revenge, this kind of deep hatred can not be solved through forbearance, watching the familiar family in the past fall like this, anyone will feel extremely angry, not revenge is not sympathy for those who are weak, but their own cowardice!
"Then he could just kill the elder. Why should an entire sect be involved? β
Jidao seemed to have already thought of the wording, his face was calm, his hands were constantly making some small movements, and he could understand at a glance that his heart was absolutely not calm.
"If you kill an elder of other people, can they still let you go? I'm afraid that if they don't want to hunt you down to the ends of the earth, this kind of big sect still has to be able to hold on to their faces, otherwise everyone will bully them in the future. β
This kind of truth seems to be obvious, Qing can't figure out why Jidao doesn't understand, is it really too stupid and naΓ―ve?
"What's the difference between doing this and destroying the bandits in his house?"
βγγγγγγγ Qing didn't know what to say now, he couldn't help but start to look at the person in front of him again, this kid, his thinking is quite clear, but how can he think so differently from normal people, he has been thinking about how the other side is, is it because the other side will be injured when he fights, so let him fight?
Yes, it is true that there is no difference in essence, and the group of "bandits" also felt that this family might retaliate in the future, so they cut off all their resources, and finally led to their decline.
In the heart of Jidao, Zhen's approach is simply excessive, people just snatched the utensils at home, which eventually led to the decline of the family, it can be said that no one died directly because of this matter, of course, it is unknown whether there are dead people behind.
But Zhen directly wiped out an entire sect, who knows how many people died in this battle?
Qing lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally said solemnly: "Extreme Dao, you can't cultivate with this kind of thought, I have to admit that what you said is right, this practice is indeed inherently indistinguishable, and I also admire that you can think of this level at the age of sixteen, which shows that as long as you have achieved something in cultivation, you will definitely help the weak and uphold justice, which is also very gratifying." But the world of cultivators is inherently cruel, if you don't deprive others, others will come to deprive you, and then the people you want to protect, the people you love will all suffer a cruel fate because of your momentary kindness, and for the sake of all the people behind you, you must also be ruthless, no matter what you do. β
Ji Dao looked a little disappointed, and a little unwilling, he looked at the door, the sound of insects was still echoing, the moonlight had no longer shone into his room, the cultivation he had been looking forward to, was it actually in this way?
"I don't want that. If the cultivator's world is so cruel and unforgiving, I don't want to be infected by him. β
Qing has already seen that the kindness in the nature of the young man in front of him, no matter who he treats, has a kind of goodness in his bones.
Qing admits that in the thousands of years he has lived, only Jidao has reached this level, and Qing has seen some monks of the demon clan who also have a good nature, and the final outcome is all corpses and bones, becoming a stepping stone for others.
"You're not suitable for cultivation. One day, you will pay a terrible price for your kindness... β
Qing's voice had gradually become low, his right hand covered his head, and his face had gradually tended to a kind of grief in the place where Jidao could not see. He had seen too many examples of this, and in Jidao, he saw the shadows of those people.
"That's right. Jidao muttered, his eyes just staring at the beam, not knowing what he was thinking.
Regardless of whether he will get a tragic ending or not, the Extreme Dao will definitely embark on the path of cultivation, which is what he has always expected, and it is impossible to give up halfway.
