The man in white glanced at Zhang Yiyang, as if the anger and helplessness on the other's face made him a little happy: "People work so hard to climb up, just because the pursuit can be unreasonable."
He pointed to Zhang Yiyang: "It's like you, you can be unreasonable in front of most people."
Zhang Yiyang was silent, and after a while he asked, "Are you here to kill me?"
The man in white shook his head: "It's been a long, long time since I've killed anyone. I went to Nanyan to meet that young man named Fang Jie a while ago, and I told him that I was just a spectator. A reasonable spectator, because I don't need your consent, just watch it if you want, I can enter your life at will."
Zhang Yiyang asked: "Who are you?"
The man in white drank the tea in the cup, and then filled it up by himself: "I am just a person who has been favored by chance and can stay in the long river of time for a while. I once thought that I had no interest in life, so I thought about death, and even died , but after a long time, all kinds of feelings have faded away, and there is only one kind of groping."
"Fumble?"
Zhang Yiyang didn't understand.
The man in white smiled: "I came to you not to kill you, but to see what is special about you. I have been watching the world all these years, and what is special about those outstanding people. Every successful person They all have their own uniqueness, and it’s good for me to discover that.”
"What on earth do you want?"
Zhang Yiyang asked again.
"think… "
The man in white adjusted his wording: "I want to see if there is any order and rules in this world. Ordinary people think about how to live a better life and fight for tea, rice, oil and salt. What the rich and powerful think about is how to be more powerful. , to fight for the sake of the world, it is because these are their needs. The reason why I watch one outstanding person after another in the world struggle is because that is what I need.”
Zhang Yiyang finally understood that the person opposite was a lunatic.
"It turns out that you no longer consider yourself a human being."
He said.
The man in white smiled: "I am no longer alone, so what I think seems so illusory and unrealistic to people. I look at you struggling people, trying to find order or Law, if I discover this order or law, then I can try it."
"Try to be a god?"
Zhang Yiyang suddenly felt that he was not afraid anymore. He was really afraid when the white-clothed man went up the mountain, because he thought of his master, the Taoist who thought he was the most gracious man in the world, but he was broken when he saw someone more gracious than himself Poor bastard. In fact, people are so pitiful. Even if his master's cultivation base is not the highest in the Jianghu, it is still enough to step on it and tremble in the Jianghu.
But such a person was ruined so easily and even absurdly.
That's why he was afraid, he was afraid that everything he had obtained with great difficulty would be destroyed so easily and absurdly.
But now he is not afraid anymore, because he found that the obviously scary person opposite has completely lost the concept of human beings. Zhang Yiyang understands why, when a person reaches the height where he will be the top of the mountain, and there is no one in the target in front of him, the target will become something else.
He has heard many such examples. There are big tycoons who thought they were invincible, so they ran to northern Xinjiang to hike the highest mountain in the world. Some people ran to the sea to search the fairy mountains, thinking that they could break away from the martial arts and enter the immortal way, but in the end the bones were not left anywhere. Some people become suspicious after their cultivation has reached a certain level, thinking that the sky will not tolerate them, and that thunder and lightning are God's punishment for them to destroy them, and they hide and hide all day long.
These are all lunatics.
The person in front of him looking for order in the world is also a lunatic.
This lunatic actually wants to be a god!
"You have been looking at those outstanding people in the world, watching them go their own way. You want to see some clues from it, and whether the sky is controlling everything in the world. You want to find where the sky is, and then you challenge It, you want to be heaven? You want to find order because you want to create order."
Zhang Yiyang asked: "Can I understand this?"
The man in white smiled: "No."
Behind his smile, there was a faint sadness that Zhang Yiyang couldn't understand. Just because of seeing this sadness, Zhang Yiyang felt that he had understood it wrong before. A madman would not have such sorrow.
"Because I stand tall, I see things in the distance before you."
The man in white stood up, walked under the pine tree and looked at the sky, looking for the light from the gaps in the leaves: "Many years ago, people could not practice. At that time, life was very difficult. Faced with beasts, plagues, and various natural disasters, Humans cannot fight. Although human beings are the rulers of this world, they are undoubtedly the weakest or even the weakest of all creatures. Cats, dogs, insects and ants can predict the coming of natural disasters and avoid them, and wild wolves can bite themselves Broken leg and continue to live, what about people?"
"Perhaps because of this, people will be unwilling, and then one day they will find out that they can practice. The human body can become stronger through acquired efforts, stronger than those beasts with innate advantages! People who can practice, also It can avoid plagues and natural disasters. People are beginning to look more and more like real rulers, manpower, and truly becoming the strongest force of time."
Zhang Yiyang listened to him quietly, sorting out these words carefully in his mind.
The man in white said: "People can practice, which brings people to another level. Because there are practitioners, people have a lot less fear. There is a practitioner in a town, and tigers and wolves dare not attack. There is a practitioner in a city." Those who can predict earthquakes can remind the people. If a country has a great practitioner, it can even deter foreign enemies."
He looked back at Zhang Yiyang and asked, "Is that right?"
Zhang Yiyang nodded: "Yes."
The man in white is right, these are all facts. A person who doesn't need to be too strong is enough to protect a village from being invaded by wild beasts. A perceptual practitioner is enough to detect natural disasters such as earthquakes in advance and remind the people to save themselves in advance. A great practitioner with an extremely strong cultivation base can make a country peaceful for a long time.
For example, the Great Sui with Ten Thousand Stars.
"What's this?"
the man in white asked.
"What is it?"
Zhang Yiyang didn't understand, and shook his head: "What is what?"
The man in white sighed slightly: "You still think too little... People can become powerful after practicing cultivation, so they get many benefits. What is the essence of this benefit?"
This time he didn't ask Zhang Yiyang, he paused and said: "This benefit, in fact, isn't it a provocation?"
"provocative?"
Zhang Yiyang didn't understand again.
The man in white said: "If the physique of wild beasts is stronger than that of humans, natural disasters will make people suffer. Are these the established order in the world? If so, then people start to practice, and avoiding all of them is provoking this order. If people's Practice is so powerful that it ignores these orders, so will there be any consequences if you continue to destroy this order?"
Zhang Yiyang froze for a moment, and suddenly his heart shook.
"I said that I was just a spectator, and I didn't want to interfere in it. I just wanted to see if I would be punished for disrupting the order. Over the years, the practitioners have become more and more powerful, but I have become more and more worried. "
The man in white sighed: "Things must be reversed at the extreme... When a practitioner can control the court and develop left and right, the end of the practitioner is probably coming soon."
…
…
Zhang Yiyang was silent for a long time, and he finally understood what the lunatic in front of him was thinking. This lunatic has lived for a long time, he doesn't know how long, but Zhang Yiyang is sure that this person must have seen the development of a practitioner, if he started watching from the very beginning, then his age is terrifying enough. But because Zhang Yiyang knew about the existence of King Dalun Ming, he was not surprised at the existence of the man in white.
If a person has witnessed the growth of practitioners from the very few at the beginning to the present grand occasion, it is indeed a very shocking thing. But as you can imagine, it should be a wonderful feeling. It's as if a person was lonely at first, and then he found someone of his kind, and then there were more and more of his kind. That feeling must be exciting.
But just because he saw too much, he thought too much.
"Since people can cultivate, it is because the human body has such potential. Beasts cannot practice because they do not have such potential."
Zhang Yiyang began to express his opinion, and he was much less wary before: "So, since it is a human potential, then it is not a violation of the law of heaven, it is not a challenge to the order... if there is such an order. "
"wrong."
The man in white said: "I thought about what you said before, but then I thought again, people are weak, but their brains are the best and most flexible, so people use their brains in order to survive, think of many ways to develop, and invent many things. Tools to assist... This seems to be the order of human development. But after people practice cultivation, this kind of brain is used less... I can kill a beast with one finger, so why would I think about inventing tools? I can't practice, But there are people in my village who can practice and can protect the village, I just need to plow and cultivate the land, and I don’t bother to think about it.”
"This kind of thinking is becoming more and more common. It is also like soldiers. Soldiers will think that if a great practitioner kills the enemy's main general, then I only need to charge forward when the time comes, and I am too lazy to think about how to make it go The military is stronger."
The man in white said, "This situation is the ultimate development of practitioners. It is no longer promoting human progress, but hindering human progress. That's why I worry that the end of practitioners is coming."
"until one day… "
The man in white said with some regret: "I went to the other end of the sea."
His eyes were a little erratic: "I have seen another extreme of human development."
He thought of the young man named Fang Jie. He had obviously never been to the other side of the sea, but why would he think of another direction of development? He is obviously a person with an extraordinary physique. If he devotes all his attention to cultivation, he can become another existence that is astonishing in the past and the present.
The people on the other side of the sea did not find the path of practice, but they found a path that also makes people stronger. Firearms can make ordinary people as powerful as practitioners. On the other side, muskets are far more powerful than bows and arrows, and the beasts will run away in fright when they hear the gunshots. The power of the cannon is comparable to that of a cultivator at a high level, and the operator only needs to ignite the fuse!
A cultivator may not be able to reach the height of the sixth or seventh grade after decades of hard work. In terms of power, a punch from such a cultivator is definitely not comparable to a blow from a cannon. Of course, the real great practitioners disdain guns and artillery, but how many such great practitioners are there? Compared with hundreds of millions of ordinary people, can dozens, even hundreds of great practitioners prevent another path of development
If one day, a lifetime of practice is not as good as a cannonball, then the end of the practitioner has really come.
Who would go to practice so hard
That's why he wanted Fang Jie to live. He wanted to see if this was the right way. If there is no such person as Fang Jie in the Central Plains, will he be abandoned by this world in the future
Is this God's punishment for disrupting order in the Central Plains
The man in white looks to the east
People from the other side are coming soon.
