XXXIII. Two Laws (II)
Han Wenzheng smiled and said: "What Mr. No. 1 said is indeed good, but I have different standards from you, so the angle of looking at the problem is naturally very different, and it can even be said to be the opposite, basically there is nothing to say, you come to me to debate the way to govern the country, I am really stupid to agree to your challenge, this is simply a farce, forget it, let's admit defeat." ”
Ascetic No. 7 was furious and said, "Han Wenzheng, what do you mean by that?" "There was a very great musician in my tribe, and he played music that could intoxicate people, and one day he played the harp against a cow, and the cow only cared about grazing, and he didn't care what the hell he was playing, and he sighed and said, 'I really play the harp to the cow.'" Now, my debate with you is only playing the harp to the ox, and what is the point of debating any further, we are not looking at the problem from the same level at all, so to speak, I am already standing halfway up the mountain, and you are only standing at the foot of the mountain, and what you see is not comparable at all, then what I am saying will naturally not be understood by you. Han Wenzheng smiled and used the simplest idiom to illustrate the problem.
No. 1 stretched out his hand to stop the impulsive No. 7 and said: "Patriarch Han Wenzheng, we admit that your civilization is more developed than ours, but we have not even reached the point where we don't even understand what you are saying, not to mention that the way to govern the country is not only yours is correct, as you said, 'The stones of other mountains can attack jade.'" I would like to hear your opinions, too. He had already said this sentence with a suppressed anger.
Han Wenzheng smiled and said, "Okay, since you want to listen, I'll just say a little bit casually, and teach you these uncivilized buns by the way." Han Wenzheng's attitude was very arrogant, which made the eight ascetics endure very hard, and they were afraid that they would rise up and slaughter Han Wenzheng on impulse.
Han Wenzheng pretended not to take the other party's expression in his eyes and said: " Our universe has its own way of heaven to control everything, all creatures and all things live in it, every flower, grass, tree and stone, are all creatures under the way of heaven, without any exceptions, and all things are born to form a perfect nature, and we human beings, elves, orcs, or other different creatures, are just one of them, and in the long years, many races have evolved higher wisdom, these races with high wisdom are also called intelligent races, because wisdom is the most powerful force under the way of heaven, so these advanced intelligent races have become the most powerful on different planets, and even the master of the growth planet, who controls everything on the planet, just like you humans on our planet. ”
This is an opinion that the people of the Western Continent have never heard, and no one refutes it for a while, because it is the truth. "And since the intelligent race is named race, there are a large number of individuals, just as there are more than 250 billion white people on your western continent, more than 100 billion black people, about 5 billion elf races, more than 100 billion orcs, and many alien races, etc., and different and intelligent races have grown up from a low level, even my Yanhuang tribe is no exception, and in the process of growing up, all our intelligent races are based on all things in heaven and earth, learning from nature the basis of all the knowledge we have now, and then summarizing and sorting them out, becoming a variety of knowledge systems inherited by our intelligent race, it can be said that nature is our teacherIt selflessly teaches us to grow. ”
"I don't understand what the patriarch said, but what does it have to do with what we say about the way of governing the country?" In this long process of growth, it may be millions of years, or tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, and my Yanhuang clan has already experienced hundreds of millions of years, and you have only experienced millions of years, so to speak, the gap between us is not above an order of magnitude at all. ”
There was no way for the eight ascetics to refute this, and it was true that the history of the Yanhuang tribe was much longer than theirs. "Over the years, we have learned countless knowledge from nature, such as the discovery of food from birds devouring plant seeds, and the discovery of fire from nature's fire that can light and cook food, etc., all of which were accumulated step by step by the sages. After accumulating this knowledge to a certain extent, our sages used their wisdom to summarize this knowledge, and then innovated it to form a series of knowledge systems, thus forming a series of different worldly outlooks, outlooks on life, philosophical views, etc., and formed two major laws from them. ”
"The law of the jungle, to put it bluntly, is the four words 'the law of the jungle', and your civilization is following this route, you see your environment as a big jungle, all other races as prey, and you are the hunters, hunt all the prey, and get everything you need from the hunt, so as to make yourself further stronger, when you hunt other prey, you never take into account the feelings of the prey, even those prey are also intelligent races. And within your race, too, this law is practiced, the strong have everything, the weak lose everything, become vassals of the strong, so, your civilization has not developed at all for tens of thousands of years, you are just standing still, or even regressing, am I right?"
The eight ascetics had nothing to say, and they did exactly that, and the useless slaves were the best proof of this. And the people who were listening outside also thought that Han Wenzheng was speaking well. "The source of the law of the jungle is nature's law of the jungle, where powerful creatures hunt the young, Weak creatures are food, this is the cycle of nature, and you see this cycle, so you take advantage of this principle, and the law of the jungle also has its advantages, that is, it is very aggressive and exclusive, so in your philosophical thoughts, in religion, you have a kind of exclusivity, you see yourself as the overlord of this jungle, you dominate all this, and everything else that does not obey you will be destroyed, everything else that threatens you will also be destroyed, you are savagely trampling other races under your feet, becoming a stepping stone for your growth, so, some of you will hate my Yanhuang Clan, the reason is that my Yanhuang Clan will threaten your supremacy and make you feel threatened, am I right?"
"The law of the jungle is very aggressive, therefore, you will try your best to attack what you see, and take all the good things as you have, for example, if there is something you need or are precious in a weak race, the thought in your heart is not to find a way to exchange with them, but to rob them, and you will only find a way to compromise when you can't grab it, just like the demon god armor of my Yanhuang clan. Therefore, it is the same within your race, the strong will often take the things of the weak, and even turn the weak into your slaves, enriching your material things with the fruits of their labor, and those who are weak are not considered of the same race in the hearts of your strong people at all. ”
That's it, the law of the jungle is so cruel, the strong take possession of everything, and the weak lose everything, and if there is a slight resistance, not only wealth is lost, but also life. The eight ascetics were speechless, this is indeed the truth of the Western Continent, in the hearts of those strong people, in the hearts of those nobles, the role of slaves is only to labor, to provide them with materials, if it is not for the fact that they can't find a better alternative tool, they are afraid that they have already killed all those slaves.
Han Wenzheng shook his head and said: "The root of the law of the jungle is that you have already regarded yourself as higher than nature, and you take it for granted that you are powerful and above everything, so you rule everything and enslave everything from above, and you have never regarded yourself as a member of nature, so you are the destroyers of nature." ”
On the contrary, the laws of nature take a different path, and the races of the laws of nature regard themselves as a part of nature, and think that everything is a cycle of nature, and they are only an individual part of nature, just like flowers, trees, stones, and other intelligent races, they are only a part of nature, so that everyone is equal, everyone has the same rights, and they all have the right to live in stability in nature, which is the biggest difference between the law of nature and the law of the jungle. ”
No, I thought for a while and asked, "Just now the patriarch also said that nature is the law of the jungle, so the laws of nature don't need the law of the jungle?" "No, it is also needed, but this need is needed out of its own needs, just like a tiger hunting food, when the tiger is full, even if a small rabbit passes by it, it will not attack, because the tiger attacks the rabbit just for food, and it will never kill a rabbit because it likes to kill a rabbit." The same is true of the laws of nature, when two intelligent races are intertwined, when they have enough living space, they will use a relatively peaceful way to solve the problems between the races, and only when the living space is insufficient, they will use force to solve it. There is a saying in my Yanhuang clan called 'one mountain can't hide two tigers', which is very shallow, but it contains the most profound truth, why can't a mountain hide two tigers? It is because the tiger eats a lot of food, and the range of a mountain is not large, if there are two tigers in a mountain, the food is not enough for both tigers to survive, so they will fight until they kill the other or expel the other party, which is very similar to the survival of two intelligent races, but if there is enough food, the two tigers will definitely not fight, because they do not need to fight. ”
No. 3 asked: "Mr. Patriarch, I still don't understand what you said about killing according to one's own needs, so what is the essential difference between snatching wealth and survival is also one's own need? "All things are born in nature, all things have the right to live in this universe, this is one thing that no one or any race can deny or deny, this is also the biggest rule under the Heavenly Dao, and under this greatest rule, killing is a sin, no matter when the killing is carried out, it is a criminal act, but the Heavenly Dao will record this kind of evil, which is also called cause and effect in my Yanhuang clan, today, how many sins you have committed against all things in heaven and earth, how many sins you have committed in other days, how much Heavenly Dao will naturally want you to return, this is a balanced method of Heavenly Dao to maintain the entire universe, no one can escape this punishment of Heavenly Dao。 You have to figure this out before you can talk about anything else, otherwise you're losing the premise. ”
