Chapter 178: Enlightenment
No matter here or where they came, these bandits rushed at them with their blades to take people's lives, and they were all killable.
But as now, what about putting down your weapons and having little ability to resist?
If there are only a few people in the world, then he can do what he wants. He also has to go to the backyard to catch the eldest prince Zhu Yi, and this group of bandit leaders are doing evil, and there is no way to ask them to stay here obediently and wait for some people from the government and the superintendent to come, so it is best to kill them one by one.
But the problem is that since there is an official government in this world, the power to take people's lives is not all his own. At the beginning of the heavens and the earth, there were many people in the world, and everyone had the right to kill. Later, this group of people was forced to form an association because of their survival, and they had leaders and organizations.
People cede some of their power to a leader or organization in exchange for asylum. At the cost of losing some of his freedom, he gained a relatively stable life. Therefore, there is no one in this world who can take human life at will—and to do so is to be the enemy of the whole world and human ethics. What he violated was not only the so-called "law", but also the rules that the entire race tacitly acquiesced in, obeyed, and the foundation for its continuity.
For example, if he handed over these bandit leaders to the government and the overseer to deal with, then in fact, he handed them over to all the people in the world to deal with. Only in this way, according to the morality and ethics of this realm and the place where it comes from, can it be regarded as worthy of the justice of heaven and earth.
But what if the public instrument collapses, and it is no longer possible to properly exercise the power that has been delegated to all living beings?
For example, when he was in the Sui realm, he killed Sui Yilian and Sui Ziang because he knew that the laws of the Sui State could not punish them fairly, and he had to protect himself and relieve himself. Thinking so, it is also righteous to do so.
And now, he is safe to protect himself, and if he wants to take the lives of these people again, he will jump out of the righteousness of this world and judge for himself. If he were an ordinary man...... Or ordinary cultivators, if they do this, it will not be a big problem in this world. Even if he later went mad and became an outsider, he would not be able to fight the whole world, which has its own powerful forces that can destroy him and ensure that the justice of this world does not completely collapse.
But now he knows that he may be Beichen. I also know that the "public instrument" in this world is different from where he came from.
There are spirits here. The monarchs of the six kingdoms are appointed by heaven to shepherd all the people. And the six supreme emperors mean the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, their will, their rules, are the "public weapons" recognized by everyone in this realm, and they are not formed by the power ceded by many people as they came from.
If he is really reincarnated in Beichen, it means that in the old land of Li Kingdom, all the morals and axioms were originally between the thoughts of "oneself", and they are truly and truly said and spoken. In other words, he doesn't need to follow any moral standards in this world, he himself is his own standards, and he is also one of the rules of this world.
At first glance, such a situation is really exciting, but when I think about it carefully, I only feel chills all over my body. He didn't know what kind of existence the other five supreme spirits were at this time, and whether they were far from the limitations of "people", but he clearly knew that he was still a human being.
But what would a person become if he didn't have any restraint in his heart? He doesn't believe in the inherent goodness of human nature -- there is no set standard for what is called good and evil. Here in the Six Kingdoms, it is good to respect the old and love the young, and in the Demon Kingdom, it is good to give up useless babies. If there is no restraint, if you see a good one, you will rob, and if you are angry, you will kill and vent, and in the end, can you still be called a "person"?
He has some confidence in himself at the moment, and feels that although he is not a saint, he is still a good person. But he himself knows that in recent months, because of his growing skills, he has been very different from before - he killed some bandits on the road a few days ago, and he felt that he was "doing the right thing for heaven". But if you want to change it to the time when you are in Wuliang City, you will probably only arrest those people, and really send them to the government office near the left.
People are slowly changing, and it is impossible for anyone to know what kind of face they will become in the future, and what he is suddenly worried about is that these few knives will cut down, not only the heads of these bandits, but also a little bond between himself and this world.
So, do these people want to kill or not?
When Li Bochen thought of this, he only felt that his thoughts seemed to be led all the way away by something, and it was like a paper kite encountering a strong wind and going straight to the blue sky. The glimmer of clarity in his consciousness was the thread holding the paper kite, but it had been stretched so tightly that it was about to break.
At this time, he knew that if he really got entangled in these thoughts and let these bandit leaders in front of him get away, not to mention what would happen to him in the future, for now, he must be a stupid person. But the magic knife in his hand became extremely heavy, and he couldn't swing it no matter what. At this time, I finally felt cold sweat oozing from my back - this state was extremely wrong at the moment...... Am I going crazy!?
This thought came out of my life, and I suddenly felt that my thoughts were like a veil separated from everything around me, as if my thoughts really went up to the sky with the paper kite, and the next son became extremely high. He could see the sunlight reflected by the long knife in Lin Qiao's hand, and he could also see the expressions on the faces of several bandit leaders on the ground, and even their beards could be seen clearly one by one, but these things seemed to be 108,000 miles away from him, but the mountains in the distance and the high sky above his head seemed to have become extremely close.
He was shocked in his heart: Could it be that the sky is blue and white, and I am out of my body now?!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a faint voice, as if to say, "...... What's wrong with him?
He didn't hear this sentence very clearly, but then he heard another sentence very clearly: "Beichen is on top! Could it be that he was secretly injured!......? Use that thunderbolt!"
He suddenly felt a slight numbness on his body, and finally came to his senses. He didn't know if the two sentences he heard just now were really talking or his own hallucination, but when he looked closely, he saw a person lying on the ground reaching out and touching it into his arms, and with a flip of his palm, there was already a dark iron pill between his fingers, which might be the "thunderbolt pill" he heard.
He felt that he was warning again, and he was about to worry about life and death, so his heart immediately cleared up, and without hesitation, he swung out a knife.
The man took out the iron pill, and was about to rub it with two fingers, when the knife cut off his wrist. The blade swept through the neck, although it did not cut it, but the next moment a blood line suddenly appeared on the neck, and the man's head was crooked, and he rolled to the side.
A thought flashed in Li Bochen's heart - in the end, he still killed.
Once you have done it, you will no longer show mercy. He took two more diagonal steps, and before the few people on the side could beg for mercy or make a move, he cut them in two with a single sword.
He made these two moves, stood still with his knife, and realized one thing—the two sentences he had just heard were most likely what the people in front of him were thinking.
Because they prayed to Beichen and entered their ears? How could they suddenly have such magical powers?
