Martial Mythology

Chapter 1351 Good and evil

This night was the most comfortable day Yuan Tianyang had after he came to Martial City.

This dilapidated old house is far away from market disputes, freeing him from running around for life and no longer being disturbed by those land ruffians. Although life is boring, Yuan Tianyang is very satisfied. He chats and tastes with old women every day Tasting the sweet and greasy pastry, and occasionally using it personally to help the old woman do some hard work, Yuan Tianyang has never thought that such a dull life is actually a kind of inexplicable comfort.

In a few days, Yuan Tianyang and the old woman have gradually become acquainted with each other. The old woman’s surname is Shang. Therefore, his name for old woman has changed from “you” to “grandmother Shang”. The name Yuan Tianyang was also changed to “Xiaoyang” after Yuan Tianyang’s repeated requests.

During the period, he saw the third brother of Lin who went home to visit his old mother. The boss Lin Hu was running errands at an Inn. The second child Lin Jiang worked as a long-term worker in a large family. The third brother Lin was the most prosperous, and was taken by a cultivation family. Employing as a family member is not only decent, but the income is not thin.

The three brothers of Lin’s brothers didn’t have any major achievements, but they were always comfortable with food and clothing. They could occasionally help the old mother and buy some supplies for the old house. Compared to some rundown poor people, their situation is pretty good.

The old woman doesn’t have any big wishes. She just hopes that the future generations will be healthy and will spread the branches and leaves for the Lin Family, so that Lin’s incense will not be extinguished. In this way, she will be able to watch her eyes and see her husband at ease after a hundred years. .

“George Yuan.” Lin Family boss Lin Hu pleaded to Yuan Tianyang when he was leaving: “My mother was too tired in her early years, and she was at the root of her illness and couldn’t work hard. If you are free, please help me, please.” The three brothers of the Lin family are very filial and caring about the old woman, but they have their own legitimate business to be busy, so they can only make time to visit the old mother from time to time. Now it happens that Yuan Tianyang is staying here, they naturally hope Yuan Tianyang can help take care of them.

Yuan Tianyang solemnly nodded: “Don’t worry, even if you don’t say it, I will.”

When he was most desperate, the old lady took him in. Not only did he stay for the night, but she also asked for warmth, almost meticulously. He already regarded the old woman as his relatives in his heart. How could he ignore them when they were tired?

“Thank you so much!” Lin Hu took Yuan Tianyang’s hand and was very grateful.

Lin Jiang and Lin Luo also thanked each other.

Yuan Tianyang wanted to withdraw his hand, but in the end he did not do so. He could feel the kindness of Lin’s three brothers. They were raised by old women, and in the bones are as kind as old women. They are not good at words, but very Practically, because of his gratitude and respect to the old lady, Yuan Tianyang is also full of kindness to them, not at all treating them as ants.

The three brothers of Lin’s are gone, and Yuan Tianyang is looking after the old mother. They are quite relieved.

Since that day, Yuan Tianyang has stayed in the house almost all day, chatting with the old lady. He did not shy away from the old lady, telling about his experience in the outside world, and even talking about what he had agreed with Wu Kun, saying that he was waiting for one At the end of the month, he can lift the seal of the cultivation base. When the time comes, he must repay the old lady’s kindness and give Lin’s three brothers a great good fortune.

The old lady just listened to the story as a story, she didn’t take it seriously. She didn’t care about Yuan Tianyang’s reward, she just smiled and said, “Okay, the old man just waited.” This slightly perfunctory answer shows that she not at all Believe what Yuan Tianyang said, but think that this child deliberately made up some expert stories to make himself happy.

As for the Cangqiong Academy mentioned by Yuan Tianyang, the old lady did not take it seriously.

It was Yuan Tianyang who was concerned about some evil things he had done.

“The old body does not know what evil karma is, but the old body believes that as long as you have the heart, you will be able to wash it away.” The old lady comforted: “You can see it, you child, you are still very kind in heart. Maybe because of some special experience, you have gone astray, but the old man believes that sooner or later you can return to the right path.”

She treats her child like her, tirelessly.

Yuan Tianyang was silent after hearing the words of the old lady.

“Do you really think my heart is kind?” Yuan Tianyang asked after a long time.

No one thinks that he is a bad person. Even those executioners who kill countless people will not think that they are bad guys. They will think that they have done this for a reason, or are persecuted, or is life helpless. Or forced by the situation, Yuan Tianyang does not think he is a good person, but in his heart, he uses a more positive image to advertise himself. If people are divided into decent and villains, then in his opinion, he must belong to the decent side. Even if he has done something that is not so decent.

The old lady kindly said: “Human nature is inherently good. A newborn baby must be pure and flawless in his heart, yearning for the light and loathing the darkness. It is only because of different experiences that he is contaminated with different habits and becomes a different person. I believe that everyone in this world has a kindness in their hearts, but for some people, kindness is concealed, so they do some wrong things.”

She always believes in the beauty of human nature, even if she has suffered injustice and suffering, she still believes so.

Human nature is inherently good and human nature inherently evil has always been controversial, and no one can convince anyone.

People who believe that human nature is inherently good, believe that as long as they are guided, cultivate virtue, be lenient, and discipline themselves, they believe that everyone should be like this, and there will be no disputes in the world. Those who hold the theory of the evil of human nature believe that people have Seven Emotions and Six Desires, which must be restrained by strict laws in order to stop the disputes, otherwise, the disputes will never stop.

Just like Confucianism and Legalism in China, Confucianism developed its own system based on the inherent goodness of human nature, and derived the rule of man, while Legalism based on the inherent evil of human nature, has another set of theories, and thus derived Out of the rule of law, the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism does not lie in the struggle between forces and tactics, but in the collision of two different ideas.

In this strength is respected world, most people are more willing to believe that human nature is good, or they are more willing to accept the theory of human nature, because their destiny is not under their control, and powerful cultivators can even override Above the law, they can only hope that human nature is good, so that no one will oppress them, no one will insult them…

Relative to human nature, which is inherently evil, human nature is inherently good, which at least gives them hope of survival.

Contrary to the old lady, Yuan Tianyang believes in the inherent evil of human nature. He believes that everyone has a devil in their heart. Once the devil is released, even the normally kind people will do unimaginable evil thing. He believes that those hypocritical people will be so benevolent and hypocritical only because of their lack of strength or the constraints of some special conditions. More people will have the power or power to satisfy their own desires. It will expose the nature.

Yuan Tianyang has always been a firm supporter of the evil of human nature, but now, he is a little shaken.

He was not shaken by the old lady’s rhetoric, but by the old lady’s selfless help without asking for anything in return!

It is true that the old lady is not a great character, even if she wants to do evil, she has no ability, but Yuan Tianyang believes that even though the old lady really has the power to dominate the destiny of millions and millions of creatures, in her heart This kindness of her will not be obliterated, her kindness, as if she was born with it, has been integrated into the bones, no matter how the world changes, it cannot change her kindness.

In the eyes of ordinary people, she is just an ordinary old woman, but to Yuan Tianyang, she is like Saint.

“Grandma Shang is really a person of great wisdom!” Yuan Tianyang was a little convinced and praised sincerely.

He inadvertently discovered that his support for the evil of human nature is not as firm as he imagined. In fact, at the moment he was conscious, he was already affected by the good of human nature. It is because of this thought that he will Subconsciously give yourself a more positive evaluation.

The thought of human nature being good has already unconsciously infiltrated every time and space, every world, every land, and every creature.

Old woman didn’t know whether to cry or laugh: “Don’t make fun of the old man. The old man is just an ignorant and decayed wood. I don’t even know a few words. How can there be great wisdom?”

Yes, she is illiterate, has never heard lectures, and has not received a good education, but her experience in this life contains knowledge. As the saying goes, “the insight of the world is knowledge, and the cultivation of human affection is the article.” Of course, she has not reached the point of insight into world affairs, and can’t be considered to cultivate humanity, but her life is a process of learning. When she is about to reach the end of her life, she will naturally understand some life philosophy.

“Okay, Xiaoyang, you can rest early, and listen to the old man nagging for so long, are you tired?” the old woman said empathetically.

Although Yuan Tianyang has sealed his own cultivation base, he is not really like a mortal. Even if he hasn’t been sleeping, it won’t have any impact. The reason why he came to borrow is not really looking for a place to live, but Stay away from the right and wrong of the market and spend a month smoothly.

He said with a smile: “I am not tired, but you, should rest earlier.”

“You child, you helped the old man for a whole day of strenuous work, and you are not tired?” The old woman didn’t believe it at all and urged: “Hurry up, go wash and rest early.”

Yuan Tianyang has no choice but to refute, so he obediently nodded and said: “Well, you also have to rest early.”

A moment later, seeing the old woman entering the next room and turning off the oil lamp, Yuan Tianyang walked out of the house gently, sat in front of the door, leaning on the door bolt, looking at the sky with his back, and muttering softly: “Seven days …”

In another twenty days, he can lift the seal of his own cultivation base and complete the agreement with Wu Kun.

He turned his head lightly and looked at the house where Granny Shang lived, and a warm smile appeared on his face unconsciously: “I said, I will repay you and send you three children a great good fortune… …Believe me, you will be satisfied!” He suddenly looked forward to the arrival of a month. He hoped that Granny Shang could see that all the things he had said were true, and there was no lie. ?
