Chapter 114 Indra and Asura(1/3)
As the son of the Immortal of the Six Paths, Indra naturally has his own love in his heart.
It's just that he is aloof and arrogant by nature, and never easily expresses his love to others, even to his father. He just seals this love deep in his heart and takes it out when necessary.
It is a kind of "love" with strength as the shell. People can only see his excessive admiration for violence, instead of paying attention to where he applies this violence and what his original intention is.
In Shiraishi's view, Indra rashly spread his love of power among the people without establishing sound laws.
Then, the coming of war is inevitable.
In other words, Indra overestimated the awareness of ordinary humans.
By extending himself to others, his original intention was to allow civilians who had learned strength to limit the power of the nobles, use force to intimidate them, and allow the nobles to come to the negotiation table to fight for their own interests, rather than rely on pure massacres.
However, civilians who have learned violence have chosen the most direct and brutal way to obtain their own interests.
Granted, this is also an option.
However, due to the lack of effective regulations and the failure to consider the aftermath, this approach resulted in civilians going completely berserk and causing even more serious consequences.
After hearing about Indra's deeds, Shiraishi became even more convinced that it was the right thing to do not rashly popularize the natural energy cultivation method.
Because the regulations in this area have not yet been fully formulated, the Kingdom of Ghosts currently does not have the 'force' to limit such riots, and the response is insufficient.
Therefore, it can only be promoted internally on a small scale, and those who have learned this power must be strictly bound by contracts.
If such power is used by careerists with ulterior motives, it will not be a force that benefits the human world, but will destroy human civilization and humanity.
Indra's seals and techniques can only target the ninja group, but natural energy is a universal force for human beings... Neither Shiraishi nor the Kingdom of Demons can afford the consequences of such a rampage.
As long as there is no 100% probability of success, Shiraishi will not bet on this uncertain future.
"So, was it you who prevented this war in the past?"
Shiraishi asked finally.
Indra did not deny it, but nodded and admitted it, saying: "The war caused by me will naturally be ended by me personally. But in this way, paper cannot contain the fire. My father learned the cause and effect and taught me a lesson.
He gave me a meal and shut me down for a long time. In my mind, I remember this was the first time my father had been so angry with me. Even though I had disobeyed him many times before, he had never been so angry.
"
Indra smiled bitterly.
He both admired and hated his father, the Sage of Six Paths.
"But I know that the reason why my father is so angry is not because of my attempt, nor is it because I acted on my own without saying hello to him in advance. The real reason to blame me is because after I made this mistake,
During the period of confinement, I had no intention of repenting, but instead became more and more involved in the study of seal and art. At that time, I saw fear and murderous intent in my father's eyes! "
Indra lowered his head, with a very complicated expression on his face.
Shiraishi looked at Indra with slight confusion.
Fear and murderous intent?
Although it is a bit unbelievable, there may be a deeper reason.
Indra then said: "My father saved the world from my grandmother, but I know that in his heart he has always been afraid of my grandmother who wanted to control the world. The seals and techniques I studied have triggered a wrong war. , my father is afraid that if I go down this twisted path, I will become the next grandmother. But I don’t think sealing and art are evil things. It’s like a blacksmith making a kitchen knife. The kitchen knife itself is neutral, but if it falls, If you join evil people, you will naturally become a murder weapon. The most important thing is to look at the person who masters the technique and seal."
"But if you do this, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the immortals."
"That's right, although I don't think the previous mistakes were failures, just because I didn't find the right way, but my father believed that the seal and art that had caused the dispute was an evil path that would lead to more disasters. .Coupled with the fact that seals and techniques are essentially power, relying on violence to stabilize the world is completely contrary to the Ninja sect's philosophy of connecting people with chakra and using love to influence the world."
Indra didn't explain the following words, so Shiraishi could guess what was going to happen next.
In an era where Ninja sect was the mainstream thought, Indra's ideas were undoubtedly heretical, and they appeared openly and openly in the family of the founder of Ninja sect. If it were spread, it would also have a huge blow to the reputation of Ninja sect. .
The Six Paths Sage hopes that through this mistake, Indra will reflect on himself and join Asura's love camp, so that the next generation of the Ninja Sect will no longer have friction and the brothers will be harmonious.
However, Indra's aloofness, because of this failure, became more immersed in the development of seal and art. It was right to insist on his own path.
It's just because there is a lack of something. As long as this thing is found, the seal and technique can be used for the right path.
But despite having failed, he still persisted in his own opinions, which naturally made the Immortal of Six Paths think that he was incurable and became disappointed with him.
Among them, there may be another reason why the Sage of Six Paths is afraid that Indra will become the next Kaguya Otsutsuki.
While I was looking for a path, time passed by day by day, and a lot of wrinkles appeared on my invincible father's face...
Indra lamented the ruthlessness of time, and even a being like the Immortal of Six Paths could not resist the blade of time.
"At this time, the Ninja Sect has also reached a critical turning point in deciding the successor. The fight, or conflict, between Asura and I has completely exploded."
Compared to Asura's 'love', Indra knew that his 'power' was not loved by his father, the Immortal of Six Paths, but in the trial of the heir, strength would ultimately speak for itself.
Therefore, Indra, who has stronger power, will naturally not be afraid of any challenge.
I believe that no matter what problem I face, I will definitely handle it better than Asura.
But Shiraishi knew that Indra failed in this trial.
"The content of the trial is very simple. My father asked Asura and I to go to two villages that were short of water and dig wells so that the villagers there could enjoy sufficient water. I used my own strength to complete the task in less than an hour. A well was dug, and the group of villagers led by Asura,
It took more than half a year to dig it out."
"With Asura's strength, it's impossible to dig a well so slowly, right?"
Shiraishi frowned and asked.
"Although Asura's strength is far inferior to mine, digging a well is not difficult for him. However, he chose the longest and most troublesome method, and used the most primitive method with the villagers to dig the well."
Indra said.
"It seems like you should have won this game."
From the perspective of an onlooker, Indra's victory is inevitable.
"I lost."
Indra's answer made Baishi stunned and fell into a daze.
Are there any traps here?
"In the well I dug, people started fighting to get more water. Although Asura's efficiency was slow, because he had developed a close relationship with the villagers in more than half a year, the people there obeyed.
Asura’s order.”
"Didn't you stop it?"
Shiraishi considered that it was a village that was short of water. If no one made rules for water intake, this situation would indeed occur.
"I was lost in thought, watching these people fighting, and I didn't understand why they were still fighting when there was plenty of water. This kind of problem,
The results were very similar to the results I had previously spread to civilians about the Seal Technique. I didn’t understand exactly where the error was. It wasn’t until many years after my death that
After thinking about it in the dark for a long time, I gradually realized that it was the lack of order that you alluded to before. Although I helped them, I did not help them establish a proper order and allowed them to grow wildly. Although Asura's speed
Slowly, but with the tacit understanding of time, we gained the trust of the villagers, established a preliminary order, and did not trigger a fight over water sources."
It only took Indra a short moment to go from dissatisfaction and jealousy to relief.
Even though he did not agree with Asura's philosophy, after his death, he gradually understood that Asura's path was not without merit and had merit.
I even started to think, if I integrate Asura's 'love' into my own ideas, will the shortcomings in my ideas be completely improved?
"Yeah?"
Shiraishi thought for a moment, thinking that the people of that era were not very knowledgeable. It was not easy to think to this level.
"Actually, there is something I don't understand."
"tell me the story."
Indra didn't put on any airs and talked to Shiraishi as a peer.
"If the purpose of this trial is to test the ability of the two of you to unite and cooperate, then Asura's victory is understandable. But in fact, if the village is really short of water, it took more than half a year to dig a well.
, many people will die in the process."
A ray of light appeared in Shiraishi's eyes.
This is where Shiraishi thinks the Six Paths Sage Trial is inconsistent with common sense.
It's right to want to test the team's ability, but when applied in practice, Asura's approach will kill many people.
Even in today's era, many areas are seriously short of water, such as the Kingdom of Wind.
Although Indra's approach is a bit too impatient, if regulations are established in advance and hung on these people's heads with power, it will be enough to restrain their behavior, and they can quickly go to the next village that is short of water, follow suit one by one, and use
In a very short time, we can save more people.
Although Asura's approach united many people, considering the practical problem, countless people will die due to lack of water.
In that era, population was a very important labor force. Even now, various countries are encouraging more children.
All the reasons can only be attributed to the thinking of the Ninja Sect, which advocates too much ideals and ignores practical problems.
Although Indra's approach was crude, it could preserve more humans and increase the productivity of that era.
"" Regarding Baishi's to-the-point suggestion, Indra's expression changed, and he sighed: "I didn't think much about it at the time, and now that I think about it, my father's opinion at the time is no longer important. The only fact is
, that is when I lost to Asura, who has always been inferior to me in strength."
Although Shiraishi's words would make him feel better and not feel so lost.
