Lu Yu smiled and said, "Let’s make an assumption first... No, it’s not a hypothesis, it’s just a conjecture. The earliest people’s burial ceremony should be the same as that of an animal, which is to put him on the ground and leave it alone. It’s simple. Just think about it for a while, and you don’t even need any specific rituals. But... a very embarrassing thing has appeared, that is, human beings live in clusters, and they are different from any other living creatures that live in clusters. They will lose the size of their residences and even migrate. Yes, so the dead will stay in place, will rot, melt into the soil, or be eaten directly by other beasts or insects. But unlike humans, humans rarely migrate, or at least some people There is no migration, so they can't watch their relatives being eaten by other beasts, and they will naturally drive the beasts away. The most important point is that without such natural consumption, the corpse will rot and give birth to countless numbers. The germs float in the air or seep into the water, and other people will get sick. Whether it is to prevent other creatures from eating it, or to prevent it from decay and make other people sick, it appears that the corpse is buried in the ground , Or hanging on the edge of a cliff, such a form of burial occurs. Of course, people have to give a suitable reason for this practice. At least those in power must have a reason to convince all the people to do this. It should have been a long time. , Finally, people realized the truth of peace in the soil, and also had a relationship with religion... After all, all religions are derived from people’s fear, the most important thing is the fear of death, so... Things, or hanging on the cliff, putting on the treetops, etc. These actions become that after death, people can ascend to heaven or enter the underworld, and then reincarnate, and things like the afterlife... You see, if you think about it this way , Is it just to connect all things together? Actually... The form of the dead is always a matter of the living, and for the purpose of the living. And this purpose has evolved over the years, and a certain... Well, it’s not a good phenomenon. For example, people want to carry their wealth in this life to the next, and their children and grandchildren want to let their relatives have a better life in the next life, and even more hope that they will have their own wealth after death. Children and grandchildren can also do the same, so that they have burial objects, and even directly bury the living people together, so that they can always be with themselves, whether it is the world after death or the world after death. In fact, this kind of thing... No Are living people seeking benefits for themselves? But because of this, death has become heavier and heavier, and most of the wealth in the world has been buried underground. This is really bad for the development of the world. then…Some people use this to make money, such as... Tomb Rogue! "
"If you think about it this way... it seems that this is the truth. Not only you demigods, but the Protoss will do something like this after death."
Lu Yu smiled and said: "Until one day, things have changed. There are too many people buried in the ground, and too much space is occupied. Whether it is cultivated land or other things, the dead have begun to grab the space with the living, so... There is a new form of burial, which is cremation, which is directly burned, and it is a hundred. But back to the front, those cannibals... Maybe it is because of a period of hunger or a long time that they came up with a way to eat the dead. , And will add to the persuasive power of both customs and religion, so that people can do these things justifiably, so... All over the world, don’t say where people are better, everyone is to live and be better. To be alive, so... changes the way the living deals with the dead, and the dead themselves have no authority, but... to make way for the living, this is... the way of heaven! What is the way of heaven? It is the way of nature. So It is because there are fewer and fewer places, so cremation, and then there is enough ashes to be used as a symbol, to talk about your own mind, or...convince yourself."
The island owner said: "I heard you say that... it seems to be like this... It turns out... The so-called filial piety, the so-called emotion, in fact, in the end, is just a kind of human selfishness..."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, this is reality, and it has never changed. What is kindness? Animals rarely have kindness, they only survive, but whether it is a protoss, a demigod, a false god, or even the human world In fact, all of the human spirits have kindness, so where does the kindness come from? Why... we have it? And other creatures don't? Don't you think it is strange?"
"Kindness... Kindness is really a word that makes me a little helpless, I don't believe it."
"Don't believe it?" Lu Yu laughed dumbly, and then said, "Say what you don't believe is precisely because... You believe it, and even privately defined it in your heart, and this definition is too difficult, so I have to say I don’t believe it, because you can’t do it. But what you can’t do is not the real kindness, but just the kindness that you have imagined subjectively!"
The island owner was taken aback for a moment and wondered: "What does this mean? Why do I not understand?"
Lu Yu said: "Then I will tell you carefully. The so-called kindness is derived from maternal love. Animals also have maternal love, and our races also have it. Then why do animals have no kindness, but we do? Maternal love is only the first step. , There is one more step, which is'care'. Although I am not a protoss, I know that the birth of Shenzu... is very difficult, right
The corner of the island owner's eyes twitched, and then said, "Yeah... It's really difficult! Every protoss is born, the mother walks once before the ghost gate, some survived, and some... didn't."
"It's not only difficult for mother, but you are also... also difficult, right?"
The island owner gave a bitter smile and said: "Yes, the newly born Protoss is the most wonderful tonic in the world. Even the biological father has to endure the desire to devour one bite. And within three years of just being born, the Protoss is the most beautiful tonic in the world. Very weak, just a little bit of cold wind may blow away the soul... Maybe this is the test of the heavens and the earth for our Protoss, or... the first disaster for our Protoss."
"No." Lu Yu said affirmatively: "If this world is truly spiritual, I think this kind of result is that it wants you to be powerful beings with a trace of kindness! Because kindness itself comes from the hard way to survive. Mothers who suffer from childbearing difficulties, have to take care of you for several years... This is the result of this process! Human beings are not a mother. Being gentle with others, taking good care of others, and empathizing with all the harm that everyone has suffered, this is actually all It comes from that mother’s love, that I was cared for at the beginning of my birth. This is the cause of kindness, and... In fact, that’s all. There is nothing to forgive, no one will be completely loyal, no one will be there. In your life, you play that vital role. You don’t need to be responsible to anyone except yourself and the mother who gave birth to you. Of course, other people don’t need to be responsible to you. … No matter how much you have done for them, or no matter how much they have done for you, you need to be responsible, and you need to do something to a certain degree... This is not kindness, kindness is not that complicated, and it is not that difficult. Those are just the shackles set by human beings for themselves and others for a better life."
The island owner frowned deeply, and then said: "It's shocking! But... it seems I understand a little bit."
