Chapter 22 Chivalry

Chen Jing's question brought Ming Chen back to reality.

Shake off the sad emotions immediately.

"Heroes are those who jump off the chessboard, who are free of selves and who are unrestrained."

"Of course, it can also be human."

"Not people?! Can it still be a demon? Chen Jing was speechless.

Ming Chen shook his head: "It's not a person here, it means that it's not a specific person, it's not a specific person." ”

These are two sentences, and he believes that Chen Jing can understand them.

Really!

Chen Jing thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "It's not a specific person and it's not a specific person, it's two meanings." ”

"It is not a concrete person, it can be understood as an idea, a spirit, which is intangible and insubstantial."

"If it's not a specific person, it's not a person, it can be a few people, a lot of people, countless people, or it can be said that it's not a particular person, but everyone!"

Ming Chen immediately said: Full score for reading comprehension!

Seeing Ming Chen's appreciative expression, he knew that he had not misunderstood.

He then tries to understand more: "The unfettered, free man is the one who jumps off the chessboard. ”

"The chessboard here is the rivers and lakes just mentioned, and jumping out of the chessboard represents jumping out of the rules formulated by the superiors, so you will become an unfettered and free person!"

"Got it!"

"Do you know the birth of Xia?" Mingchen decided to add another fire.

"What is the birth of a chivalry?" Chen Jing asked curiously.

"To know how a chivalry was born, you have to know what a chivalry is?"

Chen Jing sat precariously and listened carefully.

"The old man once said that chivalry is not a person, it is a spirit!"

"It is a spirit of rebellion, accompanied by helplessness and longing."

Hearing this, Chen Jing was a little incomprehensible, but he didn't interrupt, because he knew that the explanation was behind.

"Chivalry is a human being, but he is a fantasy person!"

The doubts on Chen Jing's face were even more, why was he not a human being for a while, and human for a while.

Ming Chen didn't let him doubt for too long, "From not being a human being to being a human being, this is a process." ”

"Going from fantasy to reality is another process."

"Let me be specific, what is chivalry? What is Chivalry? It is chivalrous who pulls out a sword to help when he sees injustice, it is chivalrous who robs the rich and helps the poor, it is chivalrous who seeks justice for the people, it is chivalrous who takes action and stands up, and it is chivalrous who bravely helps the weak. ”

Although he still did not relieve Chen Jing's doubts, he agreed with Ming Chen's words.

Ming Chen continued: "A person who helps someone in the middle of the cracks, this is a chivalry!" ”

"Why should I help others?"

"Out of justice!" Chen Jing responded.

Ming Chen did not agree or object, and continued to ask: "Who is Xia helping?" ”

Chen Jing thought for a long time, and finally said uncertainly: "Weak! ”

"Not exactly!"

Ming Chen directly retorted, "The correct way to say it is that people who are in a vulnerable position!" ”

Hearing this answer, Chen Jing frowned.

He seemed to understand something.

"Why are they vulnerable?" Ming Chen continued to ask.

Chen Jing felt the same way, and said expressionlessly: "Because someone is in a strong position." ”

"Yes!"

Ming Chen's affirmation didn't make him too happy, because it wasn't worth being happy about, two voices appeared in his heart, one voice was preventing him from listening, and the other voice was asking him to continue listening.

The two voices clashed, regardless of victory or defeat, Chen Jing didn't know how to choose for a while.

At this time, Ming Chen said to himself: "If a hero wants to help the weak, he must face the strong." ”

"And these strong people, what are they?"

This time, he didn't wait for Chen Jing to answer, but asked himself, "It's the chessboard, it's the rules on the chessboard, and even the maker behind the rules." ”

Chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and this prohibition is a rule, a status, a right, and a plaything for the superior.

It's not his behavior of challenging the rules, it's that he has the ability to challenge the rules.

It's like two people playing chess, and his pawn directly crosses half of the chessboard, eats your handsome, and says that I am a special soldier, and this is a decapitation operation.

It's a joke, but the truth is the same.

Chen Jing understood and said lightly: "Xia is the one who challenges the rules?" ”

However, after hearing this, Ming Chen shook his head: "No." ”

"It's just an additional function, it started out as a kind of help, it helped people with their difficulties, and then it became a help to help people solve their difficulties."

"That's what I mean by birth."

Chen Jing fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Ming Chen didn't mean to bother him, at this time he had already made it more clear and gave an answer.

What is the answer?

With Chen Jing's comprehension ability, it is not difficult to understand.

Chivalry is a product of class antagonism.

It is a fantasy, a spiritual need.

All the time!

Has anyone brought it to life? Naturally, there is, but it is a drop in the bucket.

To put it simply, the people at the bottom are oppressed and powerless to resist, so they fantasize all day long that someone will come to save them.

At this time, the concept of chivalry was born, but it was very vague.

Until most people are so fantasizing, at this time, it is possible for fantasy to shine into reality.

Someone couldn't help but stand up.

Then, everyone unanimously agreed, isn't this what they fantasize about all day?

Comparing fantasy to pregnancy, the first person to stand up is the born hero.

So it is a spirit of rebellion born from helplessness and despair.

It is the vast majority of fantasies and desires that make it concrete to the human.

It was born to serve the people.

When it grows up, it goes from deliverance to punishment.

When he became an adult, he changed from punishment to overthrow.

Therefore, it has become a mortal enemy of nature and rules.

From the very beginning, it was destined to stand on the opposite side of the rules, the rulers, and the high.

Because he is powerless to resist, the fantasy chivalry is extremely powerful.

Because they are bound to their limbs, they desire to fly freely.

Because I have been groveling, I hope that there will be a chance to puff up my chest and look straight ahead.

"Whew!"

Chen Jing let out a sigh of relief.

He figured it all out.

When I began to hear Mingchen say that heroes are free and unrestrained, how yearning it was.

But after tracing back to the roots, more feelings are indescribable.

"What are their fundamental desires and demands?" Chen Jing thought for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

After hearing this, the corners of Ming Chen's mouth showed a touch of pride, and he spit out four words softly: "Freedom, equality!" ”

It was just four simple words, which directly made Chen Jing speechless.

Perhaps.

"If rules are compared to ropes, what is freedom?" Mingchen asked.

Chen Jing said tentatively: "It's power, great power, with great power, no one can trap you, you can do whatever you want, this is freedom." ”

Ming Chen chuckled: "Strength is only one of the ways to freedom. ”

"Then what do you mean by freedom?"

"Freedom is the soaring birds, the clouds in the sky, the breeze in the face; It is a wild beast running freely, a school of swimming fish, a fluttering butterfly; It is lying on the grass and counting the stars, it is three or five confidants in a daze, and it is standing on the top of the mountain and singing! ”

"True freedom is not about doing what you want, it's about not doing what you want!"

"So, true freedom is refusal!"

Chen Jing sighed: "I have been taught! ”

"But what is equality?"

Ming Chen was surprised, a little surprised, he didn't know what equality was?

I turned my head and figured it out, feudal society, maybe there is no such concept, they all feel that origin determines everything, and they are accustomed to it.

There may also be an equal saying, but it does not extend to the whole human race.

Or within the class.

In other words, equality is still pursued between the same level.

Thinking of this, Mingchen explained: "There are four levels of equality. ”

"First, equality at the same level, also known as class equality, is what it means."

"It includes social status, the same generation, the same position, the same prestige, the same achievement, the same power, the same economy, etc., within a certain class, everyone is equal, but beyond this class, I'm sorry."

Chen Jing did not refute.

"Second, gender equality, the simplest is that in the family, the idea of preference for sons over women, in all fields, the status of women is not high."

Chen Jing knew that Ming Chen might not know the information about the Qi Refiners, so he added in time: "When you reach the level of Qi Refiners, you will reach equality, because they value strength more than gender." ”

Ming Chen nodded and said: "It seems to be equal, everyone looks at strength, but there is a premise for this, everyone respects her because of her strength, not because she is a woman and respects her, here is the essential difference." ”

"It depends on whether equality between men and women is achieved, as long as the strength factor, social status, and respect can be eliminated, then it can be considered equal."

Chen Jing wanted to say how could it be, women who didn't have strength......

But I have to admit that this is the reality, and the four levels in his mouth are really difficult to do.

Including Mingchen's earth, he only barely did it, and even in order to argue about this issue, it reached a pathological level.

"And the third?" Chen Jing chose to avoid that sensitive issue.

"The third is that everyone is equal, which is the ideal state, and it may never be possible, but it can be leaned in this direction."

When the words equality were spoken, Chen Jing was shocked.

It's like a fantasy.

Ming Chen said: "This kind of equality is divided into material and spiritual, the core difficulty of material equality is origin, this is no one can choose, there are differences in ability, etc., but spiritual equality is possible." ”

"The old man once said that there is a very interesting thing about this hierarchy, that is, as long as it is not extreme, it can be counted as equality."

"And the fourth realm is the equality of all beings."

Chen Jing was already dumbfounded when he heard it.

The more Ming Chen spoke, the more energetic he became, he didn't think about whether this kind of thinking would have an impact on this world, he just wanted to exchange all the information he knew about Qi Refiners through the output of these dry goods that Chen Jing was interested in.

"What is the equality of all beings? In the old man's opinion, from the dragon and phoenix to the ants and insects, as long as they are living creatures in this world, they are all equal. ”

"They are all creatures who have come to the world to experience suffering, and they are all struggling to overcome it, and no one is more noble than the other."
