Chapter 142: The Dao Heart of Houtu
Yang Mei has gone through two lives, and naturally understands the thoughts of Houtu.
In his words, it goes like this:
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, because people are subjective creatures, not absolutely objective nature, so the coexistence of subjective creatures will inevitably produce social relations established by countless subjective thoughts.
This kind of social relationship is born out of the subjectivity of the individual, and it is natural to have a subjective nature, and people in the society, because of this subjective nature, will have contradictions and estrangements from each other.
Therefore, as long as it is a normal person, not a puppet without self-awareness, it will definitely have contradictions in social life with others because of their own personality and subjective thinking.
Contradiction in interpersonal relationships is never about having or not being, but only about whether it is big or small......
Obviously, for the twelve ancestors such as Dijiang and Houtu, although there is blood and kinship between brothers and sisters, the brothers and sisters are not the same person in the end, and they do not share the same brain to think about problems.
Therefore, the contradiction between the ancestors and witches has always existed!
It's just that this internal contradiction is very small, because their subjective desires are very low, and there are not too many subjective desires, so there is no big contradiction.
For example, when there was no co-governance of the Lich, the twelve ancestors led the twelve primitive tribes of the Wu clan under the mountain, each with its own way, and there was no power dispute, and the expansion of the contradiction was naturally impossible to talk about.
But since the co-rule of the lich, because the "Witch Emperor" and the "Witch Emperor" have all the powers of the twelve tribes, and their power is above the ancestors of the original tribes, the contradiction has arisen.
Although some of the contradictions have been diluted because of the existence of blood and family affection, from an objective perspective, the contradictions between the twelve ancestors and witches are indeed expanding and intensifying.
If time goes by, the contradictions between the ancestors and witches will accumulate more and more, and sooner or later it will be difficult to return, and internal struggles will break out, and when they really kill the red eyes, no one will care about any blood and family affection......
However, among the many contradictions, it is still necessary to distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction, and the main contradiction must be resolved first, otherwise the main contradiction will be fatal if the secondary contradiction breaks out!
For the ancestors, the main contradiction at present is still the contradiction between Taiyi, Dijun and other outsiders, and the internal contradiction between brothers and sisters can be suppressed for the time being.
In fact, this famous saying is a typical inability to distinguish the order of contradictions, and it cannot be said that this sentence is wrong, but it cannot be said that it is right.
Because "external contradictions" are not equal to secondary contradictions, and "internal contradictions" are not equal to major contradictions.
Because of his famous remark that blurs the contradiction between primary and secondary, there is no need to say more about what the famous politician will end up with......
Although the ancestors have developed limbs, it does not mean that they are simple-minded, and they can still distinguish the "primary and secondary contradictions", from this point alone, the political level of the twelve ancestors is above a famous politician in later generations!
There are contradictions within Zuwu, but they don't need to be resolved urgently.
In short, everything will wait until they have completely entered the Heavenly Court......
……
After Yang Mei and the Twelve Ancestral Witches communicated for a while, except for Houtu, the other eleven Ancestral Witches took their own leave and left, and they had a lot to do.
In the huge Yao Pond, only Yang Mei and Houtu were left, and there was silence all around, and no one spoke......
Suddenly, Yang Mei broke the silence:
"Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to hide the matter of the Pangu essence blood of the Earth Immortal Realm from them?"
Houtu sighed helplessly:
"If you don't hide it, so what?"
"Elder brother and sister are not immortal Daoists, nor do they have any Dao intentions to speak of, and the supreme power of Heavenly Court is far more corrosive to them than the Emperor Jun brothers."
"I can imagine the appearance of the Dijun brothers after going through all the calamities, and finally letting go of each other's power and fighting for each other, but I can't imagine the possibility of my brothers and sisters giving up power......"
Houtu is hopeless.
Immortal cultivators all have a Dao heart that is "out of the dust" by nature, and as long as the Dao heart is still the same, there will eventually be a chance to turn back.
But the ancestors are different, they can't cultivate immortals, and they don't have any desire to seek the Tao, and the reason why they cultivate is not because they have any lofty ideals in life, but simply for power.
It can be said that among the immortal cultivators, except for those monks who do not have the heart to seek the Dao, all of them have the opportunity to become a sage in the realm of thought.
But the ancestral witch is closer to the "mortal".
Ancestral witches did not have the heart to seek the Tao, and in the face of Zixiao's preaching at the beginning, they also came with a "pragmatism" mentality, and when they knew that they could not cultivate immortals, Zixiao's preaching also lost its practicality.
And what doesn't have practical meaning and doesn't give me great power, don't listen to it!
Houtu was also a pragmatist at the beginning, and when the second lecture was held, the other ancestors did not come, and she was the only one who continued to listen to the sermon, and what she did was the power of the law level of Xianwen.
This kind of thinking accompanied her three times in the process of listening to the sermon, and her goal was to learn more immortal texts, so as to gain more powerful power!
However, this utilitarianism was eventually abandoned by her......
Perhaps it was because he devoured the essence blood of Pangu in the Earth Immortal Realm and completed the "god" of the Three Treasures, so as to obtain the ideological sublimation brought about by the qualification certificate for cultivating immortals.
Perhaps it was because in the process of learning Xianwen, she gained a sense of intoxication with knowledge, and transcended the simple thirst for power in her thoughts.
Learning Xianwen was no longer just for the sake of power, she began to study for the sake of gaining more knowledge.
Learning for the sake of knowledge and learning for the sake of power may not be different in terms of learning effect, and even power can stimulate people's utilitarian mind and make them study hard.
However, these two learning goals are ultimately different......
When Houtu returned from the Earth Immortal Realm, she suddenly realized that her mood was completely different from before.
A heart to seek the Tao has been planted in the depths of her consciousness at some point!
The Dao Heart is not an objectively existing entity, and there are no brain stones growing in Houtu, it is just a subjective thought.
No matter how strong an immortal cultivator without a Dao heart is, he is only an immortal cultivator, and with a Dao heart, he is called a "Dao seeker".
And then Tu has become a "seeker"!
At this point, she has surpassed nine out of nine immortal cultivators, because not every immortal cultivator has a Dao heart......
Yang Mei pondered for a while and said:
"From today onwards, you don't want to participate in the election of the Heavenly Court Emperor, even if others insist that you be the emperor, you must not agree."
"Houtu understands."
Houtu's face full of sorrow showed a helpless smile:
If you don't participate, don't participate......
"And."
Yang Mei said seriously:
"I wanted to leave just to inspect the things in the Heavenly Court for a while, but now that I see you, I have changed my mind."
After the soil is incomprehensible:
"What do you think? You might as well say it, you can do your best to help you wherever you can! ”
Yang Mei shook his head and said with a smile:
"I will live in the Thirty-Three Heavens for a period of time, personally teach you to cultivate the Immortal Dao, and then leave after you have achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"Lest you, a good seedling of the Immortal Dao, be swept into the party struggle of the Heavenly Court, and lose a ray of light from your Immortal Dao of the Wu Clan......"
