Chapter 269: The Old Beggar
Speaking of the law of the jungle, Guan Yang's eyes flashed with a dazzling light: "And the supreme law I believe in is the law of the jungle." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hu Le was unconvinced: "You also said that this is the law between animals." β
But the same can be applied to people. Guan Yang emphatically said: "Why can we be chivalrous and righteous? It is because the wicked oppress the weak, and why do the wicked oppress the weak? Because the wicked are stronger." And why can we succeed in chivalrous deeds? In the same way, because we are stronger than the wicked. And if the wicked are even more powerful than us, then we can't be chivalrous, but will be destroyed by the wicked. β
Hu Le opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to refute.
This is a crude truth, but it is a true truth. We can also apply it to other places, why can the government manage the people? It is not because the government protects the people, in fact, most of the government is just the lackeys of the local wealthy clans, and they are the main culprits who help the wealthy clans oppress the people. Therefore, it is not that the government can protect the people, but because the government is stronger than the people, and if the power of the people is great, they can overthrow the imperial court, just like Taizu fifty years ago. β
As soon as others hear the name of the Twelve Great Sects, they will immediately be in awe of the three points, the same reason, because the Twelve Great Sects are stronger than others, and their fists are the hardest, and others cannot afford to provoke them. β
"And the place where the law of the jungle can best be embodied is the Western Regions. There is no law or morality in the Western Regions, only the law of the jungle, and whoever really has the biggest fist is the boss. Because the survival resources there are extremely scarce, only those with big fists can get more resources. β
Hu Le finally spoke: "Is this why Brother Guan doesn't take human life seriously?"
Guan Yang said: "This is just one of them. On the other hand, I also said that there is no law in the Western Regions, and even some horse thieves are pretended to be the military of the Western Regions, and even the armies of small countries in the Western Regions, and even worse, they are directly pretended to be the soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate. If I really like Brother Hu, defeat everyone and hand them over to the government, I'm afraid that in less than two days, they will appear in the desert again to rob. β
"Then can't you just kill the bandits?"
After flipping over the barbecue, Guan Yang continued: "That's how I did it when I first started. But I haven't done it since I was led into a trap by one of the horse thieves I saved. β
Speaking of this, Guan Yang still had palpitations, it was the first time he was ambushed, and it was also the most dangerous, if it wasn't for Feng Yu's report and his father-in-law rushed to the rescue, Guan Yang was afraid that he would really confess there.
Hu Le still couldn't believe it: "Maybe someone else threatened him?"
Guan Yang looked at him with innocent eyes: "Brother Hu, you are too naΓ―ve, I said that there is no morality in the Western Regions, and affection is the most worthless thing, you have the opportunity to go there, just take a closer look there." β
"But according to what Brother Guan said, the weak eat the strong, so how are we different from beasts?"
Guan Yang asked rhetorically: "Do you think there is any difference between humans and beasts?"
Hu Le's eyes widened and he asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Guan Yang said: "That's what you think." Think about it, the beast can do what the people can do, the beast needs to eat, the man needs to eat, the beast has the consciousness of the territory, the humanity also has the consciousness of the chassis, the beast needs to mate, and the man needs to mate...... Is there any difference?"
Hu Le was even more unconvinced: "But we people have thinking, understand etiquette, know family affection, can work, can create, can transform heaven and earth, and can create heaven and earth, so that everything in the world can be used by me, how can we compare with wild beasts?"
"But from the most basic point of view, these things are all false, with these, people will not live two more years, without these, people will not lose their life. Moreover, affection can only be useful in places where resources are abundant. If a large family is placed on an island with depleted resources and lack of food, let alone family affection at that time, and there will be no tragedy of cannibalism, even if the family is affectionate and righteous. β
Speaking of which, Guan Yang remembered a very famous novel - "Lord of the Flies", no one could have imagined that a group of harmless children, after being trapped on an isolated island, turned into pure beasts, killing each other, what love, what innocence is all gone, only the most primitive killing and gore are left (I recommend everyone to take a look). It seems that Xunzi put forward the theory of 'human nature is evil', which is not unreasonable.
"So I said, what follows the law of the jungle in this world is Brother Hu, does Brother Hu have any different opinions?"
"If Brother Guan said so, the person behind the scenes is stronger than you, according to the law of the jungle, he should kill us?"
In his opinion, of course, it should be, but if he offends him, he does not lead him to be killed, but rebels against him, and naturally deserves death. However, Brother Hu, you have to remember that any life has one of the most basic rights, that is, to live, and on the basis of this right, all resistance should be done and reasonable. Therefore, the person behind the scenes wants to kill us, and we don't want to be killed by him, so we can run, we can resist, and we can fight back, this is our most basic right, and we can be justified in front of anyone. β
Hu Le saw that Guan Yang couldn't argue, and lowered his head and said: "Perhaps, what Brother Guan said makes sense, I can't tell you, but even so, the little naughty boy still doesn't agree with Brother Guan's point of view." β
"I didn't expect Brother Hu to agree with me. Hu Le has been hypnotized by his master for so long, and the idea of not killing has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and he can't change it for a while.
"However, Brother Guan's words also have a lot to learn from me, at least I will eliminate evil in the future. β
Guan Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Hu can have such an awareness, it means that my words are not in vain." β
Hu Le smiled slightly, his face changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look to the left: "Who is it?"
An old voice sounded: "When did the little urchin become so serious?"
Hu Le's face suddenly eased, but he scolded angrily: "It turns out that you are an old immortal, why haven't you died yet?"
Guan Yang was also shocked into a cold sweat, this is really inconvenient without internal strength, if Hu Le hadn't found out, he really hadn't noticed that someone had approached him so closely.
At this time, I heard that Hu Le seemed to know someone in the dark, so he beckoned: "This meat is almost roasted, if the predecessors don't show up again, I'm afraid I won't have to eat it." β
"Don't don't, don't, I came out, I just smelled the aroma of barbecue and came over, if you don't let me eat, won't I come in vain?"
As the voice walked out, a white-bearded beggar came into view. This person has a distant face, a foot of white beard under his chin, thick hands and feet, his clothes are full of patching nails, but they are cleanly washed, a pair of hands look thick and abnormal at first glance, but after a closer look, they are as clear as jade, carrying a big red copper gourd on his back, staring at the barbecue on the fire, his face is salivating, and his expression is anxious, as if he does not give him the barbecue, he will reach out and snatch it.
When Hu Le saw the visitor, he was even more angry: "Old immortal, how can I see you whenever I have something delicious? I owe you?"
The old beggar said, "Eh, you can't say that, this meat is not yours, but this little friend's, and I didn't ask you for anything, why are you angry?"
He said to Guan Yang with a little flattery: "Xiaoyou, the old beggar hasn't eaten for a day, and I finally ran into you, Xiaoyou won't be willing to let me be hungry as an old man, right?"
