Chapter 101: The Controversy of Human Nature
Xie Yuci and Zhuo Qingtan finished enjoying the lanterns on the riverside of Yanzhou City, and walked all the way to a magnificent and bright temple in the city.
The temple was built in a very magnificent atmosphere, not only the outside of the temple was brightly lit with 3,000 lights, but also the inside of the temple was magnificently lit, and the light was as bright as day.
"This is.?"
Zhuo Qingtan's eyesight was not very good because of the blessing of the immortal weapon "Sprite", and when he was very close, he saw the plaque above the main entrance of the temple, and the three big characters of red gold suddenly hung high on it.
The plaque with the inscription on it is actually . Temple of the Luna?
Zhuo Qingtan looked a little incredulous, and then muttered with a smile: "There really is such a temple as the Moon God Temple."
Xie Yuci raised his eyebrows, with a hint of ridicule on his face.
"What? Zhuo Xianchang, could it be that he also has any high opinion of the 'Moon God'? ”
Zhuo Qingtan shook her head slightly when she heard this, she sighed lightly, and then frowned and said with a light smile: "Where is there a moon god in this world?" Why build a temple for a non-existent deity? ”
Xie Yuci suddenly paused.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around slowly, and looked at her thoughtfully with sharp eyes.
"The saying of worshipping the moon has existed since ancient times, how do you know that there must be no moon god in this world?"
Zhuo Qingtan paused slightly, and then looked up at him expressionlessly for a moment.
He is. Suspicious of her?
From this point of view, today's Xie Yuci is really very keen.
It may also be said that Xie Yuci was also keen and suspicious in the past, but in the past, he never doubted that the former Holy Emperor was too yin and gloomy.
Zhuo Qingtan looked at him lightly and said, "Do you know that these are very strange?" After all, Duanxu Palace is one of the four great immortal sects that have been inherited for thousands of years, and I am the first disciple of the family teacher. ”
She half-raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"It's not a secret, the palm hall of Duanxu Palace is known as the 'Ten Thousand Book Pavilion' in the mortal world. During this period, there were all kinds of books, and I read them all, but I had never heard of the god of the moon in the heavenly realm. ”
Xie Yuci looked her up and down, and after a while, he seemed to finally be relieved.
So he turned his gaze away and said lightly: "No wonder." ”
Zhuo Qingtan looked at him puzzled.
He pulled the corner of his lips and smiled brightly and generously, with a hint of under-beating.
"No wonder you've been as boring as a little old-fashioned all your life, if I lived for twenty years, and I would have studied in addition to practicing all my life, I'm afraid my brain would have become stupid."
Zhuo Qingtan was a little puzzling and a little unbelievable.
She frowned and asked, "Thank you, are you serious?" ”
He actually thinks she's "stupid"?
It's so chic to use the word "silly" to describe her.
Zhuo Qingtan has lived for two lives, whether it is the first life as the Holy Emperor Taiyin Youying, or the second life as the head of the Duanxu Palace Zhuo Qingtan, in any life, she is respected and respected by the people around her as a model, and it is the first time that someone calls her "stupid" in front of her.
Xie Yuci was about to take out his money bag and buy sugar-coated hawthorn on the side of the road.
After he paid the money, he took two oil-paper bags from the old woman's hands, and the bags were full of jade-snowed sugar-coated hawthorns.
He smiled when he heard the words, handed one of the bags to Zhuo Qingtan, and then tilted his head to look at her and smiled.
"It's not accurate to say you're stupid. Our 'Zhuo Zhanggong' is actually smarter than anyone else.
It's just you, who are the same as the light, don't leak the edge, don't stain disputes, and don't care. What if a person has all of these qualities at the same time? ”
Xie Yuci turned his head and thought about it carefully, and then continued: "Then this person is probably going to be miserable." ”
"Oh? How so? ”
Zhuo Qingtan looked at him sideways and smiled faintly.
Xie Yu smiled meaningfully: "If there is a person who has absolutely strong power, so strong that it is incomparably strong and unmatched, then when this person also has the characteristics I mentioned above, such as 'being with the light and dust, not leaking the edge, not being stained with disputes, and not caring about things'. That's naturally hello, I'm good, and the world is good.
But if such a person loses his absolute power one day, then many of those who once admired and revered him will have different minds.
They are bottom-up, everybody wants to pull her, even to make her more miserable, preferably more miserable than when she was at her worst, in order to balance her poor humble innate cowardice, believe it or not? ”
Zhuo Qingtan frowned: "Even if this person has never hurt them before, he has never been sorry for them?" ”
Xie Yuci nodded: "That's right." ”
Zhuo Qingtan paused slightly, and then asked again: "Then between them, but suddenly there was a misunderstanding or dislike?" ”
Xie Yuci shook his head: "No." ”
"Then what are the interests between them?"
"Neither has been."
Then, Xie Yuci thought about it and added:
"Not only that, but this man may have been gracious to them in the past."
Zhuo Qingtan shook his head slowly with great certainty when he heard this.
"In that case, it's really hard to believe that they would suddenly have malicious intent and do something that fell into the ground."
Xie Yuci laughed out loud when he heard this.
He shook his head lightly without surprise, and his face seemed to be mocking and sad.
"Sure enough, I knew you wouldn't believe it."
Zhuo Qingtan paused slightly.
She stopped, suddenly reached out and pressed Xie Yuci's arm, which was still holding the sugar-coated hawthorn and was about to hand it to her mouth, and then said slowly:
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just. Since they have no grievances in the distant future, they have no enmity in the near future. If that person had been kind to them, as you are, how could there be so many who would repay their grievances and hurt those with whom they had no interests?
All people in this world, but everything they do, has a reason, how can they have evil thoughts and hatred for no reason? ”
Xie Yuci couldn't help but sigh lightly when he heard this.
She was born as a god, and God has compassion for all beings, and she is born with more compassion and tolerance for mortals.
Even if you know how evil human nature can be? They are also unable to truly understand the source of human nature.
Even if she forgets everything in this life and has been a mortal for twenty years, the beloved disciple of the palace master of Duanxu Palace, who has not been stained with red dust since childhood and is far away from the world, is still not a qualified "person".
She is not stained by wind and snow, and she is awe-inspiring and noble, which naturally makes people below the dust fall in love and admiration, but it will also make her heart feel ashamed and inferior.
When such a person always has absolute power and a position of power, naturally no one dares to have the slightest thought of greed and contempt.
But if one day, such a high person loses his strength and falls into the dust, countless people will trample on her to satisfy the humble and distorted selfish desires and self-esteem in their hearts.
Xie Yuci looked at her with a faint smile, but there was no hint of joke in his expression, he said slowly:
"There are eight sufferings in the world, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and separation, inability to ask, and five extractions, so there are naturally evil thoughts, greed, and hatred.
You think that this may just be hatred for no reason, but you don't know that these malice and hatred are not for no reason, in fact, they have already taken root and blossomed in the hearts of some people. ”
Zhuo Qingtan nodded and said, "So, this is said again, right?" You are a firm believer in the inherently evil nature of human beings. ”
Xie Yu smiled suddenly, it was ridiculous, why did he bother with her?
Shouldn't he have known the answer a long time ago?
