0486 Chapter 10: The Eternal Holy Fire (Section 28)
Hearing this, Shi Shilaoni fell into deep thought for a long time. It was not until Zhen Cheng frowned slightly, feeling that there might not be enough time, that he slowly spoke:
"The old man likes to eat dogs, and feeds dogs to eat. He throws in their meat to seek delicacies. Over the years, he suddenly realizes that dogs often eat meat and turn into wolves. They are fierce and invincible. But what is the reward for good and evil? Can those who do not think evil be eaten?"
Zhen Cheng tapped her forehead. There was not much time left, and she needed to give an answer immediately before she could do so.
Previously, she understood the old nun’s first question as the other party’s pursuit of power. The monk wanted to walk fast, which meant he wanted power.
He saw people riding motorcycles very fast, so he built his own motorcycle. Before he was finished, he saw a man driving a car leaving the man riding a motorcycle behind.
From what Zhen Cheng heard, it was said that people who want power should follow the example of strong people. But before he could keep up with the pace of strong people, he had already seen that there were people outside, and the strong people in his mind were replaced by stronger people.
Knock down.
So the monk sighed, as his horizons broadened, the power he worked hard to gain became more and more devalued like inflation. Wouldn't it be better to stay still?
Of course, the thought of the theme of strength originated from the trial of transformation from human to god that Zhen Cheng was participating in.
She does not understand Lao Ni's life and thoughts, and has no way of giving accurate reasoning. It may even be completely different from what Lao Ni wants to say.
But the beauty of this activity is that Zen teaches the principles of everything in the world and is never limited to a specific object.
If you are talking about power, you can enlighten the person who is asking about marriage and have a deeper understanding of marriage, which is more clever than if you directly explain marriage clearly.
If you can make the person who is asking about marriage realize the beauty of power and forget about marriage, then your magical power will be even greater and reach the pinnacle.
In other words, tell your own story and let others guess.
The "ji" in Ji Feng refers to the teeth on the crossbow, and the "Feng" refers to the crossbow arrow. In line with the principle of speed in Ji Feng, Zhen Cheng directly quoted the first example that came to mind, Sister A's.
That guy is always getting stronger. Unlike her own sublimation experience, which is silent and accidental, Ai Luogensi has been challenging one invincible enemy after another under Zhen Cheng's nose.
The monk wanted power, so he kept following the strong men he saw, but in the end he became confused because his horizons continued to expand.
And there has never been any strong person in Sister A's eyes. No matter if you are a god, a shadow, or the true deity of the world, just do it if you don't accept life and death.
So she was never confused and always became stronger at an incredible speed.
Follow your own heart and don’t worry about the scenery or opponents on the road. After walking through it with your head down, looking back, you will be in a state of climbing to the top of the mountain and being the peak.
This is Zhen Cheng's answer.
The old nun's meditation after that showed that Zhen Cheng should have realized that she was right. Or at least she gave a weighty answer. So she asked the second question:
An old man who likes to eat dog meat raised his own dog and fed it with meat in order to eat the most beautiful meat. After several years of feeding it, he wanted to kill it, only to find that the dog had developed wolfish nature due to long-term carnivore eating, and he could not defeat it.
The story is a bit weird, but the old man finally made the problem clear: Could it be that such a painful thing happened because good and evil will eventually be rewarded?
The old man wanted to eat the dog, but his original intention was evil from the beginning, and he ended up eating nothing. The dog, on the other hand, had no ill intentions at first and was kind, so he ate meat for several years in vain.
Zhen Cheng could feel that this time the old nun was probably metaphorizing his own experience. Even though he was fully prepared and had clear principles, he got the opposite result after doing evil.
This made her feel another kind of confusion.
Thinking from this perspective, Zhen Cheng can use this story as a clue to speculate on the hidden meaning behind the old nun and the Xuankong Temple.
With the current speed of Zhen Cheng's brain, all of this was completed in a blink of an eye. She responded:
"The mantis hunts the cicada while the oriole follows. The mantis eats the cicada so-called survival, but is it a bad retribution? If it is really a bad retribution, what will be the fate of the oriole? Even if it is hunted by someone, will someone take revenge on the hunter?
The death of the mantis has nothing to do with good or evil, it is just because it only sees the cicada in its eyes, but cannot see the whole world."
There is no good or evil in the world - this is the only class rule written and left on the wall by Qu Yun for the Archeology Department of Blood Candle Castle. With his recent experiences, Zhen Cheng becomes more and more convinced of this concept.
Regardless of the reason why Lao Ni asked this question, her fate is destined to have nothing to do with good or evil. All evil consequences have nothing to do with her original wishes, but she made the wrong choice in the wrong way.
Just as she now accepts Qu Yun's love and accepts the teachings and benefits, it is equivalent to tying herself to the chariot of Blood Candle Castle to fight against the cunning "destiny" and the powerful existence that has created many divine evils.
If she wins in the end, so what if she kills a lot of evil along the way and subverts all worlds? If she loses, does her mentor have any lofty ideals and what can be changed?
Of course, Zhen Cheng just thought about it casually. After all, she had no choice at that time.
After hearing Zhen Cheng's answer, Lao Ni's whole body twitched slightly. From behind, it was not clear whether she was crying or laughing. But fortunately, she quickly asked the last question:
“What does the donor want?”
Compared with the first two metaphors that seem to have unclear directions, this question has a brain circuit span so large that it can make people jump to their waists. To ordinary people, this question is simply incomprehensible.
Some people may bluntly say that they want to become gods, or ask where the way out is. But Zhen Cheng’s answer is:
"The Master will find his way back again."
Previously, in front of the wooden fish, he took the initiative to persuade people to write poems to people who left messages, but now when faced with the old nun’s three questions, he kept urging people to put it down. Zhen Cheng’s advice and answers seemed to make sense, but in fact...
Of course it's for your own purposes.
Qu Yun's dream test will not be filled with meaningless information that takes up time, and requires concentration and willpower to pass.
Regardless of whether the old nun in front of him is a friend or an enemy, the questions she raised must be of value to Zhen Cheng. Zhen Cheng seemed to be answering the old nun's tips, but in fact he was summarizing and summarizing his trip. think.
The first question shows that Lao Ni once stood on the path of pursuing strength. In the end, the long experience made her confused, but she no longer had the chance to choose.
Isn't this the choice and challenge Zhen Cheng is about to face?
The graduation photos on the bus and the remaining clothing of the zombies in the forest can prove that this is indeed the result of a middle school class's graduation trip that triggered the ghost phenomenon and was trapped in the forest.
It's just that the original paradox is probably not as evil as the state that frightened Zhen Cheng away. At most, it only serves the purpose of allowing the bus to cycle back and forth in a certain space without being able to escape.
A similar situation had already occurred when Zhen Cheng was involved in the "hidden space" of Lamarck's game for the first time, and he had seen it from the wooden bars thrown out of the window. However, the latter was more deadly.
