Through this period of getting along with each other, Yang Xuan felt something particularly complicated and contradictory in Hongque, and at the same time he felt a little sad.
In a way, the cardinal is evil.
According to what she said, before her Burning Fire skills reached a certain level, the red-clothed leader would find some living people to practice with her to improve her actual combat ability.
Even ordinary people who have no strength to bind chickens directly use their hands to test the power of the Burning Fire Art.
Facing these people who were brutally killed by her, Hongque didn't feel anything in her heart, as if it was a matter of course.
Perhaps those people were not considered human beings at all in her eyes, but were no different from animals meant for human slaughter and food.
This girl, who looked harmless on the outside, had her hands stained with the blood of countless innocent people.
Even up to this point, her concept had not changed much.
The ideological indoctrination she received since she was a child has allowed her to form a unique set of values. It seems that looking at the world, the people in the red-clothed sect should be superior, and other people are just tools for their various uses.
But from another perspective, Cardinal has the purest and cleanest heart and soul in the world.
She would regard a puppet without any mind as her best friend. When she heard that there were still many people in the world who did not have enough to eat, her first thought was to give everything she had to the poor.
In her eyes, there seems to be no such word as fame and fortune.
The environment in which she grew up made her become a devil.
But inside she is a clean and pure angel.
This is also where Yang Xuan feels a little sad.
"Cardinal, have you ever thought that many of the things your Cardinals do are wrong?"
As the two of them walked forward, Yang Xuan asked.
"I think should not be."
Hong Que said without hesitation, "We in the Red Sect have always taken it as our mission to bring salvation to all people in the world, and we are doing great good deeds."
After Yang Xuan listened, he immediately asked, "Then how do you deal with those who do not agree with you or are against you?"
Cardinal blurted out, "Of course they will be put to death. My godfather said that these people who oppose us will be a disaster if they are left alive. We must put them to death."
Yang Xuan looked at Hong Que's natural expression and sighed, "But have you ever thought about it, the prerequisite for salvation is respect."
"Everyone is unique, and everyone's life is precious. In your opinion, except for you people in the Red Sect, everyone else should obey you. This in itself is an unequal act."
"Everyone has different opinions and thoughts. How can you guarantee that your thoughts are correct?"
"When faced with different opinions and thoughts, the first thing you should do is respect and understand. Even if the other party is wrong, you should correct the other party ideologically instead of directly executing them."
"What you are doing is actually not trying to save sentient beings at all, but doing things to satisfy your own selfish desires in the name of saving sentient beings."
"Think about it carefully, a person who regards himself as a superior person and has no respect for the lives of others is trying to save the world?
This in itself is very contradictory.”
After hearing this, Hongque suddenly froze, and then her brows began to wrinkle slightly, as if she was deep in thought.
"Listening to what you said, it seems to make sense, but...but...but these principles were all set by the founding leader of our Red Clothes Sect?"
Although Hongque has a pure mind, it does not mean that she is not smart. On the contrary, she is actually a very perceptive and intelligent girl.
Because of the environment in which she grew up, she was indoctrinated with the same kind of thinking from childhood to adulthood, which allowed her to form a kind of natural values.
But after hearing what Yang Xuan said, she thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that her previously ingrained ideas seemed to have been violently impacted.
But even so, it is unrealistic to want to completely change it in a short period of time.
"Then who can guarantee that what your founding leader of the Red Sect says is definitely correct?"
Yang Xuan sighed lightly, "Let me explain it to you. There are many organizations similar to your Red Sect in this world."
"There are some profound wisdoms that are beneficial to the common people, such as Buddhism. I am talking about the most orthodox Buddhism, not the pseudo-Buddhism that distorts Buddhist concepts under the guise of Buddhism."
"The teachings of Buddhism include kindness, kindness, consideration for others, controlling emotions, not being selfish or greedy, and tolerance and many other very good things."
"The existence of Buddhism is to spread these good things and benefit all people in the world."
"So the Lord Buddha himself is not a god, but an enlightened person with profound wisdom. He has realized many ultimate mysteries in the world. Everything he has done is to enlighten the world and achieve a kind of transcendence in thought.
realm.”
"This is the true way to bring salvation to the common people, but it has spawned a lot of chaos. Under the guise of Buddha, it is actually pseudo-Buddhism that satisfies one's own selfish desires."
"Buddhism emphasizes keeping your hands away from yellow and white things, which means that monks' hands are not allowed to touch money."
"However, today's pseudo-Buddhas often charge all kinds of money for incense. Those who give more money are defined as having greater merit."
"Think about it, if the Buddha defined merit by how much money he donated, would he still be a Buddha?"
"Those pseudo-Buddhas also secretly tampered with many Buddhist teachings. For example, they said that any doubt or slander against monks and the Buddha is a heinous crime and will result in retribution. After death, you will fall into the Vajra Hell."
"So many people are very cautious when visiting monks and temples, for fear of being disrespectful at all."
"Actually, this teaching is even more nonsense. Doesn't Buddhism talk about tolerance and kindness?"
"Now he cannot allow others to slander him or even doubt him. If he is not careful, he will send people to hell to suffer. He is so narrow-minded and cruel. Is he still a Buddha?"
"The purpose of those pseudo-Buddhas is actually very simple, which is to imprison people's thoughts to prevent people from seeing through their tricks."
"After they imprisoned the minds of those believers, they began to directly or indirectly ask for money."
"For example, they expressed directly or indirectly that if you use your property to support them, it would be a great blessing."
"Actually, this logic doesn't make sense. Why should other people's hard-earned money be used to support them for no reason?"
"Buddha never said that he is a god. Buddha is also a human being. He is just a person with great wisdom. Therefore, giving one's hard-earned money to another person unconditionally is a great blessing. This is simply nonsense.
