What Lin Xi asked was a philosophical variant of the famous 'tram problem'.

The few people who can no longer create more value for the society should innocently pay for more but wrong people.

At both ends of the spectrum is the weight of life and the standard of morality.

No matter how you choose, it seems to be a wrong answer.

Lin Xi threw out such a question, in order to trap Sumeru and make him no longer embarrassed and entangled in some details.

Of course, this can barely be regarded as another ideological confrontation and collision between Lin Xi and Sumeru.

The difficulty with the tram problem is that the result of the choice is 'evil'.

There is no such thing as goodness, and there is no such thing as perfection.

It is a sacrifice that has to be weighed and sacrificed.

No matter which side is sacrificed, the person who makes the choice can no longer be called 'good'. Sometimes, people who are able and qualified to make such trade-offs and sacrifices can even be called 'political people'.

In the hearts of the general public, such a term is difficult to praise.

Lin Xi asked Sumeru to make a choice, in fact, he was inducing Sumeru to fall.

This is a trap to play with the topic.

Sumeru was clearly really trapped by this question as well.

Such a question is difficult for ordinary people with normal three views to choose.

What's more, a monk like Sumeru?

He seemed to have had a fierce argument in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he was already covered in cold sweat.

"You're a trap, there shouldn't be such a carriage in the world, and there shouldn't be such a coincidence... Sumeru said slowly.

"But you have to admit that sometimes you are faced with similar choices, even... A more demanding and harder choice. For example, in order to save one person, to sacrifice more people. For example, to convey an idea that is bound to be eliminated and to destroy more ideas. For example... The Buddha, who shouts about justice and compassion, kills people who represent and symbolize ignorance in order to dispel so-called barbarism and ignorance. Lin Xi's tone and tone gradually became intense.

Weak and despicable heavenly demons, they use their desires to seduce people to fall, and use some shallow things to attract and guide shallow people.

And the powerful Heavenly Demons, they are truly charismatic and powerful, is their chaotic mind.

They use their thoughts to envelop those who are strong, and use good and evil, justice, justice, and morality that cannot be completely and completely distinguished to restrain those who have strong hearts, and gradually devour their reason and soul.

Deal with vulgar people, use vulgar means.

And dealing with those who are strong in heart is a different approach.

"I can't admit it, but it's hard to deny it, it's really... Embarrassed!" Sumeru let out a long breath.

Instead, he said to Lin Xi: "Since you asked me a question. ”

"So... I should also be courteous and ask you a question. ”

"As a heavenly demon, devouring, destroying, destroying, and guiding the conflict between good and evil, and the fierce emotional collision, it is you... And your instincts, which are the essence of your lives. But I know that any practice, in the end, is to overcome instinct and control all choices with the real 'me', not with instinct and with body. ”

"It's like, as a mortal, we all have lust, hatred, greed, jealousy, delusions, appetites, appetites, desires for money, and so on, but as a Buddhist practitioner, we have to overcome these desires and restrain these instincts. The former guides mortals, while the latter is a metaphor for sages, which should not have a precedence, but points to a common result. ”

"Restraint, guidance, overcoming, then awakening, enlightenment, awakening, enlightenment!

"So, what do you choose between huge interests and overcoming instincts?"

Sumeru's question, it doesn't sound difficult, it's not even a qualified question.

Because the difficulties it sets are not parallel.

It's very simple, Lin Xi can answer directly, when you need benefits, choose benefits. When it is necessary to overcome instinct, choose to restrain impulses, overcome instincts, purify yourself, and elevate your realm.

But if you think about it again... This is actually an ideal state of affairs.

Even the greed of the Heavenly Demon is unrestrained and difficult to contain.

Many people take the first step on the wrong path, and if they overcome their inner defenses, they will 'do it once and stop it'.

But the result is that it is getting deeper and deeper.

The same is true for the Heavenly Demons, driven by instinct and need, it is difficult to discern when and when moderation is needed.

In other words, I never take the initiative to feel the need for this kind of moderation.

On the path of cultivation, there will not be a regular alarm to remind those heavenly demons who have fallen into greed that it is time to stop and overcome their hearts.

Therefore, the real key to Sumeru's problem is to alert Lin Xi.

Now is the time!

Overcome your instincts, restrain your desires, and don't continue to be greedy.

What Sumeru needs is not the answer to the question.

It's a result of this problem.

Obviously, the game between Lin Xi and Sumeru has been going on, and there is no winner or loser.

And this kind of game is actually very beneficial for Lin Xi or Sumeru.

Light needs darkness, justice needs evil as a reflection, the starry sky is magnificent because they are far enough, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent because they are close enough.

In the midst of chaos, all things are born accordingly.

Losing the strength or mind of the opponent is lost and out of control.

Because they have no references.

Lin Xi should be glad that when he was still very weak, he had such a special opponent as Monk Sumeru.

This is precisely the luck that he should be most fortunate about.

Of course... Chances are, it wasn't just luck.

And the idea of directly destroying the Sumeru monk physically may not be detached from simple linear thinking.

This certainly cannot be considered a mistake.

It's just... The choice is made by Lin Xi himself.

"What qualifications do you have, let me make the choice?" Lin Xi asked Sumeru.

Sumeru was stunned for a moment, turned around, and replied to Lin Xi with the same words: "So... What qualifications do you have to make me choose? and... In that case, who am I to make a choice for them?"

"I chose to let the carriage fall off a cliff, a kind man should not be let down, even if he does not have a few days to live. Even if those who make mistakes are only children, and they are outnumbered. Lin Xi unexpectedly answered his question.

Sumeru's face first smiled, but then the smile froze.

Then he turned around and said, "I want the right greed, the ones that belong to me, the ones that don't hurt others, and even bring happiness to others, why don't I be greedy?"

"It seems that none of us have a reliable answer. ”

"Still, apparently I won you, now tell me... Qingxiao Realm, who else do you know who is the same as you?" Lin Xi's words finally pointed, which was more real and closer to the current 'critical' problem.
