mortal mortal cultivator

Chapter 541

The moment he saw Han Li in the green robe, Lu Yunze subconsciously wanted to jump up, but was pushed back by Jing Nian's hand on his shoulder.

It was only then that Lu Yunze realized that this monk's physical body was unbelievably strong, and when he exerted force, it was like a mountain was pressing on his shoulders.

Could it be that Han Li will go to practice in the future?

"Don't worry Lu benefactor, he has no ill intentions towards you this time." Jing Nian said with a smile.

Lu Yunze glanced sideways at the blue-robed Han Li, "Are you sure?"

The green-robed Han Li had no expression on his face, showing no emotion.

"I don't deny one thing. Until now, I still want to erase your existence. But for some reason, I am now holding a wait-and-see attitude towards your existence." Qingpao Han Li said to himself.

"...All right?" Lu Yunze sat back down again.

"What do you want to say to me?"

The green-robed Han Li glanced at him, and then at Jing Nian who smiled kindly.

"First of all, do you know what we are?"

Lu Yunze blinked in a daze, then thought for a while.

"I can probably guess part of it. It should be related to the so-called three corpses, but the specifics are not very clear."

Qingpao Han Li nodded, "That's right, before the last step to the end of the spiritual power system, all monks have to go through a procedure called cutting three corpses, cutting off their own good corpses, evil corpses and self corpses respectively. Then you can take the last step."

"He is Han Li's good corpse, and I am his self-corpse."

Han Li in the green robe briefly introduced his situation, and then said without waiting for Lu Yunze to ask questions:
"The evil corpse and the good corpse in the first two steps are actually relatively simple. The most difficult thing is to cut off the self. When going through this step, he needs to cut off many of his own obsessions, power, status, desire...all of these , are all transformed by obsession."

"And among his many obsessions, do you know what the most difficult step is?"

Lu Yunze shook his head blankly.

"Power." Qingpao Han Li said calmly.

For a moment, the air was silent.

"...That's it?" Lu Yunze looked blank.

Is Han Li forcing the future to be so worthless?and many more!This didn't seem to be the Han Li he knew.

OK, that's fine.

Qingpao Han Li sighed silently, Jing Nian sneered, clapped his hands happily and laughed.

"Benefactor, I won this time."

The green-robed Han Li nodded, showing no sign of happiness or anger.

Lu Yunze looked at him, then at Jing Nian, a little confused.

"Before I came, I made a bet with him on Benefactor Lu's attitude towards power." Jing Nian explained with a smile.

"Benefactor Lu, you find it unbelievable because in your heart, power itself is just a tool, and it's true. But for other people, it's not that simple."

Jing Nian smiled and spread her hands, motioning for the green robe Han Li to continue.

Han Li in the green robe looked at Lu Yunze seriously, his eyes were deep and difficult to read, and he couldn't see any emotion.

"Lu Yunze, what do you think the purpose of cultivating immortals is?"

"Ah?" Lu Yunze was a little dazed. Since the appearance of these two old monsters, Lu Yunze only felt that his original thinking of escaping and opening up was not enough, and he couldn't keep up with their rhythm.

"Cultivating immortals... Anyway, I was building a Gundam back then. In Han Li's words, I remember he said that it was because he wanted to live forever, live freely in the world, and never be bound again."

"Yes, everyone embarks on this road of cultivating immortals for various reasons and for various goals. But when they walk on this road for a while, only something."

"Power!" Qingpao Han Li clenched his fists violently, and the surrounding space seemed to collapse for a moment, and then returned to its original state in an instant.

"Do you know why?"

Lu Yunze shook his head and looked at him curiously.

"Before I tell you this, tell me, what is power? Why do people pursue power?"

"Isn't strength the same as force? People pursue strength... because they don't want to be beaten?" Lu Yunze thought about it and gave the answer.

"That's right, cultivating immortals is about sailing against the current. This is an extremely difficult road. Power can make people go further and smoother on this road. But at its root, power is just a tool. It is to let us go on this road. An aid to walking, not a target."

"Everyone is different. Some people want to live freely, while others only want power, wealth and beauty. They all need strength to get what they want."

"Up to here, nothing is wrong."

The green-robed Han Li thought for a while, then picked up a stone from the ground.

"Power is very useful, but when power itself becomes an obsession, when power starts to be linked to everything, when power becomes the only measure of the social value system, problems arise."

"The tool to help people reach their goals has become the goal itself. People who were originally colorful and have different goals have become highly similar people under the unique value system. From a unique existence, it has become countless in this system. One of the same people."

"Imagine that everyone is seeking power. But what are they seeking power for? How much power is enough?"

Han Li in the green robe stared at Lu Yunze, his gaze made Lu Yunze's junior feel cold.

"The answer is that it will never be enough. Power has become the only criterion for measuring social value, so people start chasing power by any means. Those who have power have everything, and those without power are useless. The value of a person is completely owned by him power to decide."

"People are alienated by a single social value system into a simple, blind and impersonal machine."

"The most frightening thing is that in this process, people themselves can't even discover this. Because all human consciousness is determined by his social environment and social relations. When the entire social system is moving towards the same value, A single person is just a wave caught in the tide, and there is no room for resistance."

"They can't accept new perspectives, they can't broaden their horizons, and they can't see things beyond the confines of their own ideas. Their thoughts live in a cage. This cage is made up of what people know, see and hear. This is the so-called barrier of knowledge and vision."

"Only by returning to the state of mind of a child and facing everything with a completely objective, curious and open attitude, can a person jump out of the barriers of knowledge and perception and return to his original heart."

"Lu Yunze, Jing Nian said that you lost something in Tiannan. What you lost was that childlike heart."

Qingpao Han Li's voice was emotionless, but Lu Yunze felt that he was roaring into his ears.

"When you came to this world alone, everything in this world was equal to you. You were an outsider with your own thoughts, and you had no prejudice against anything. At that time, you were free and open."

"But very quickly, you see the surface of the world and you are angry about it. You start to rebel against what you see, but this rebellion is pointless."

"What you are going to do, and the consequences it can lead to are right in front of you." Qingpao Han Li said, pointing to the [-] tombstones around him.

"Whether you admit it or not, if you chose to stay instead of leaving back then, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to do better."

"...I didn't deny it either." Lu Yunze argued softly.

"Yeah, that's the problem. You're acting blind and irrational, getting carried away with rage, assuming positions, seeing the whole group as the enemy. Full of prejudice against everything in sight."

"You divide the cultivators and ordinary people into two groups, and label them as enemies and friends respectively. But have you ever thought that they are all human beings, influenced by the same set of value systems, and use the same culture? , sharing the same civilization.”

"They are the same kind, but you turn a blind eye."

"You've fallen into a blind spot."

"Let me ask you another question..." Qingpao Han Li looked directly into Lu Yunze's eyes.

"In the question just now, one hundred mortals and one immortal cultivator. Why didn't you think about letting immortal cultivators use spiritual tools?"
