It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 479 Motherhood

In fact, Feng Ling had already noticed it.

She used to be a cold-hearted person, but recently she has been touched by the life and death of people around her from time to time.

The impact of Cat Owl's death was even more obvious.

She didn't know whether this change was good or bad, and she inevitably felt confused. The stronger she felt, the more she felt that the lives around her were extremely fragile, as if if she was not careful, she, he, or it would die.

Life is a journey, and everyone has his or her own destination, including Feng Ling.

She had never feared death, and being in a life-or-death situation would only send her adrenaline and dopamine soaring, but now, she began to hate death.

Li Qing and Ye Zheng looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Li Qing slowly spoke: "People change... It's normal, right? If you say that I am influenced by the card, I think I have changed as well. I have always been interested in various cultures. After holding the fortune teller card, I have become more interested in ancient legends and mysticism."

Ye Zheng thought about it and nodded, "Then I should have changed too. I like order, I like everything to be planned and arranged in an orderly manner. I hate sudden changes or so-called surprises. After I got the Seraph, I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. Once the plan changes, I will be annoyed."

Feng Ling came back to his senses and said with a smile: "According to what you mean, I was originally a person with maternal instincts. The card only strengthened this point and did not change me?"

"Of course, at least among the inspectors I have seen, no one's personality has been reshaped by the cards." Ye Zheng said decisively, "The influence will exist more or less, but what kind of person you live will always depend on your own will."

"My own will..." Feng Ling thought.

She had never thought about such a profound question.

Ye Zheng winked at Li Qing secretly, as if to say: You say something too.

"Uh..." Li Qing tried hard to think about it.

He could roughly understand Ye Zheng's nervousness. Feng Ling's ability was too strong, so if there were any signs of something wrong with his thoughts and ideas, he had to adjust and correct them in time to prevent Feng Ling from getting stuck in a dead end.

Li Qing tucked his sleeves in his pockets and said, "Motherhood... Motherhood, from the perspective of Eastern philosophy, Laozi believes that motherhood is the origin of the universe, 'the gate of the mysterious female is the root of heaven and earth', motherhood is an eternal existence born before heaven and earth, nourishing all things, transcending physiological attributes and gender limitations. In addition, Taoism dissolves the patriarchal society's worship of strength through the concept of 'valuing the female and guarding the weak'. The Tao Te Ching criticizes 'the strong and violent will not die a good death', and Laozi proposes 'knowing the masculine and guarding the feminine', which is a survival wisdom that seems to be retreating but actually contains the concept of overcoming the strong with the soft."

Ye Zheng: “…………”

Feng Ling: “…………”

Li Qing continued, "It is worth thinking about that Western philosophy is completely the opposite. Patriarchal philosophy runs through the entire history of Western thought. Aristotle proposed the theory of male innate superiority and believed that women are incomplete men. Augustine believed that 'women are rapidly growing weeds'. Kant denied that women have rational ability in "Critique of Judgment". Hegel defined the family as the natural destination of women... Western patriarchal philosophy is highly exclusive and violent, while the East emphasizes the dynamic balance of yin and yang. So I think that in the near future, the matriarchal thought of Eastern Taoism will be increasingly valued."

Feng Ling wanted to interrupt him, "These and I..."

It doesn’t matter, right?

"You don't have to worry too much. Although motherhood seems to be an unnecessary quality from a combat perspective, motherhood is like the earth's tolerance and tenacity. Its characteristics of compassion for the weak and carrying all things will make you stronger." After Li Qing finished speaking, he looked deeply at Feng Ling with eyes full of sincerity.

Ye Zheng held his forehead in silence.

Feng Ling didn't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, she said, "It's getting late, shall we go? The rescue team is still waiting for us outside the canyon."

"Let's go." Ye Zheng nodded.

The group packed up and prepared to leave the temple, but before leaving they needed to deal with the body of the cat-owl.

Feng Ling let the newly hatched kite float down and spit out blue flames to cremate the corpse.

She didn't keep any of the owl's body as a souvenir, the teeth and feathers were all burned. A gust of wind blew away the ashes, leaving no trace.

Li Qing was afraid that Feng Ling would feel sad, so he walked over to her and said, "In addition to the different views on motherhood in Eastern and Western philosophy, the Great Mother Goddess archetype of the Jungian school is also worthy of our consideration..."

"Okay," Feng Ling interrupted him. She really didn't want to listen to him talking about those complicated theories. "Although I haven't read so many books and don't understand philosophy, I know the mother river."

"Ah?" Li Qing was stunned.

Feng Ling glanced at him helplessly, "Don't you know? A river that can be called a mother river not only nourishes all things, but also harvests countless lives. So motherhood is not only about tolerance, tenacity, and compassion as you said, motherhood is about both life and death."

Li Qing was stunned when he heard this.

Feng Ling didn't care, turned around and left, and complained to Ye Zheng beside him: "The Taoist priest keeps talking about these things, and I can't stop him..."

Ye Zheng felt the same way. "It turns out that he searches for information on his phone every day to study these things."

Li Qing: “…………”

He silently digested the turbulent waves in his heart, and after more than ten seconds he took a step forward to catch up with the two women in front of him.

The reason for his shock was that the archetype of the Great Mother Goddess he had just proposed was precisely the motherhood that possessed the dual power of life and death.

He read a lot, thought a lot, and learned a lot, but Feng Ling didn't need to learn, she understood it naturally.

This reminded him of a famous quote from the Great Mother Goddess Archetype Theory:

“Becoming your own mother is the ultimate test of psychological integrity.”

Perhaps, the Mother Nest card was born to belong to Feng Ling.

Li Qing looked at the figure in front of him and said silently in his heart: No matter what happens, I will always watch you and watch you become yourself.

……

It was already late at night when we left the canyon. The rescue team packed up and headed back, with the starry sky as their companions.

The rescue team led by Huang Yi did not just wait outside. While Feng Ling was incubating the life form, the rescue team was cleaning up the remaining pollutants outside the canyon.

There are only a few polluted bodies left in the maze, and the pollution will stop spreading, but it remains unknown when this land will recover.

After leaving the maze area, mobile phones, computers and other devices gradually restored signals.

The rescue team met up with the Eshia army. There were still two or three hours before dawn, so the team stopped here to rest for a while.

Feng Ling found Huang Yi and said goodbye to him.

After the rescue team completes the mission, the members will return to their respective countries, but she does not plan to go back. She wants to continue to conquer the maze and improve her strength to deal with the threat from the Star Society.

Huang Yi said goodbye to her in an official tone: "With the widespread pollution, rescue will become the norm. You are very capable. The Supervision Bureau should invite you again in the future. I look forward to working with you again."

Feng Ling nodded and said, "Okay, okay~"

Leland came over, glanced at Feng Ling, then looked at Huang Yi, and asked unnaturally: "Sir, can you help me open a private channel? I want to talk to Aisha alone."

Li Qing: Ahaha! It turns out that I am the heroine's camera~
