Chen Xuanzang also sat down, but he was very nervous because he had no idea what Lin Tianqi's purpose was and what kind of person he was.
Especially looking at Lin Tianqi's perfect, almost unreal face, Chen Xuanzang seriously suspected that Lin Tianqi was a monster.
"SiSiSiSi~~"
There was a trickling sound, and Lin Tianqi poured two cups of tea and handed one to Chen Xuanzang.
"Thank you...thank you..."
Chen Xuanzang thanked him and took the tea, but his nervousness was completely written on his face. His hands and face were tense, and his words were a little awkward. He didn't dare to drink the tea after taking it.
Seeing Chen Xuanzang's nervous look, Lin Tianqi smiled slightly and took the initiative to speak.
"What do you think of me?"
"Well--"
Chen Xuanzang paused for a moment, looked at Lin Tianqi, and thought to himself, how do I know what you are like, and I don't know you, so he paused and said.
"Very, very handsome..."
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said with a smile.
"Thank you, but the whole world knows this. I am asking you whether you think I am a good person or a bad person."
"this..."
Chen Xuanzang was asked, and he didn't know how to answer. One was that he didn't know who Lin Tianqi was, so he couldn't easily judge Lin Tianqi's specific character. The other was that he really felt that Lin Tianqi was more likely to be a bad guy, but he couldn't say this.
I dare not say it, what if Lin Tianqi suddenly turns against him and gets angry and kills him? After all, he has seen Lin Tianqi's methods with his own eyes.
"I think Mr. Lin is probably a good person."
After a long pause, Chen Xuanzang hesitated and said with a somewhat uncertain tone. His words actually had another meaning, which was to tell Lin Tianqi that I have said that you are a good person, and you should be the same.
Being a good person won't do anything to me.
Lin Tianqi could naturally hear the subtle thoughts in Chen Xuanzang's words, but he didn't point it out, smiled and said again.
"Then what do you think is a good person and what is a bad person?"
"If you do good and help others, you are a good person; on the other hand, if you do evil and violence, you are a bad person."
When talking about good and evil, Chen Xuanzang suddenly looked solemn and said seriously.
"Then what if there is no reward for doing good deeds?"
Lin Tianqi asked with a smile again.
Chen Xuanzang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he thought for a while.
"If it were me, I would continue to do good deeds, influence them with love, and lead them to be good."
Lin Tianqi raised his eyebrows slightly. Fortunately, Chen Xuanzang's answer was only about himself. If Chen Xuanzang's words did not include the word "I" but included everyone else, Lin Tianqi would definitely scold this guy to the point of being scolded.
do not know.
"But you also said, that's you, but you can't represent the world, just like the half-fish, half-animal water demon. He was originally a kind person and meant to save people, but he was beaten to death by the villagers.
He also threw his body into the river and allowed wild beasts and fish to drink his blood and eat his flesh. Do you think he deserved revenge?"
Lin Tianqi asked again.
"The villagers mistakenly thought he was a human trafficker, so they beat him to death. There was a misunderstanding."
Chen Xuanzang immediately defended himself.
"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding is not a reason to excuse a crime. Do you think a misunderstanding can save a life? And if those villagers are really kind and sensible, they can first inquire about the situation or even arrest the person first and wait for questioning.
After knowing the situation, it would not cause tragedy, but they beat people to death indiscriminately and threw their bodies into the river, which shows that these villagers are also a group of unruly people."
"Furthermore, if the rescued child could have spoken and explained the reason, the tragedy could have been avoided, but he did not speak. The water demon originally did good things, but was killed like this. Do you think he should hate it?
Shouldn’t we complain, should we take revenge?”
Chen Xuanzang's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He couldn't find a way to refute Lin Tianqi's words for a while, but he still disagreed with the water monster's previous act of revenge and murder, and tried hard to argue.
"But it shouldn't kill so many people. Even if it wants revenge, one life is worth one life, and it has already been offset."
"No snowflake was innocent during the avalanche, and when he was killed, all the villagers had a share."
"But those kids are innocent."
Chen Xuanzang argued vigorously.
"No, they are no longer innocent from the time they were born in a fishing village with the name of those villages. Their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even blood and life are all inherited from their parents. So naturally, they must also bear the sins and debts of their parents.
, in this world, there is no reason to only inherit the good and not bear the bad."
"Just like some villages, they are common people during the day and robbers at night. They specialize in intercepting and killing tourists and travelers, snatching their money, killing their lives, and making a living by killing and selling goods. Then as the children and descendants of these people, they need money for their growth.
Isn't the food money from these killings? Do you dare to say that they are innocent?"
Lin Tianqi said calmly.
"You Buddhists always emphasize that you can become a Buddha immediately by putting down the butcher's knife, repaying evil with kindness, etc. But if you can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife, then how sad are those who died under the butcher's knife? Did those people die in vain? They
Where should we put our grievances? How can we repay kindness with kindness?"
"Can you answer this question for me?"
Lin Tianqi finally asked, looking at Chen Xuanzang with a smile.
"this..."
Chen Xuanzang's face turned slightly pale, and he suddenly felt a kind of panic. It was panic about Lin Tianqi's remarks. He felt that Lin Tianqi's remarks were a huge impact on the ideas he had always believed in, but what made him panic the most was that he could not find any refutation.
Lin Tianqi's words even made sense in his heart.
Seeing that Chen Xuanzang couldn't answer for a while, Lin Tianqi didn't care and said again.
"I have always believed in one sentence: Don't persuade others to be generous without going through their pain. Since you think that the water demon should not retaliate against the villagers, then put yourself in their shoes and pretend you were the water demon."
After finishing speaking, Lin Tianqi slowly raised his hand and pointed at Chen Xuanzang.
Chen Xuanzang's face changed. Looking at Lin Tianqi's movements, he instinctively felt something bad in his heart. However, before he could speak, he felt his soul suddenly startled, and his whole person suddenly became confused, as if he was in a state of confusion.
Time and space changed in an instant, stars moved around, and I was in chaos, completely unaware of where I was.
The whole process seemed like an endless amount of time had passed, or it seemed like it was just a moment. When Chen Xuanzang recovered again, he found himself standing by a large river.
"Wow....wow...."
In the river in front of him, there were constant sounds of children crying and choking in the water. A girl who looked eight or nine years old was struggling violently in the water, obviously drowning.
thump!
Seeing this situation, without any time to think about it, Chen Xuanzang directly plunged into the water and swam toward the girl.
"Don't be afraid, little sister. Don't be afraid, little sister. Uncle is here to save you. Uncle is here to save you."
Chen Xuanzang quickly swam towards the drowning little girl.
"Child, child, my child..."
Just at this time, in the fishing village upstream of the river, a woman's shrill wail also sounded. At this time, another villager saw Chen Xuanzang and the little girl in the river. Suddenly, a large group of people holding sticks and menacingly walked along the path along the river bank.
Rush this way.
In the river, Chen Xuanzang rescued the little girl. Fortunately, the little girl did not drown deeply. She only choked on a lot of water, so there was no big problem. However, she was obviously frightened. After being rescued by Chen Xuanzang, she kept crying. Chen Xuanzang could not coax her.
It was difficult to live in the water, so I had to take the little girl to swim to the shore.
"Okay, little sister, it's okay, it's okay..."
After taking the little girl to swim to the shore, Chen Xuanzang comforted her softly.
At this time, the name of the village washed down from the fishing village upstream happened to arrive at the shore.
Seeing the arrival of the village name, Chen Xuanzang immediately stood up and looked at the people. However, this sight frightened him. He saw that each of the villagers had red eyes and fierce expressions, especially the leading woman holding a shovel.
They all looked like man-eating beasts.
not good!
When he saw the expressions of these people, Chen Xuanzang's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately realized that these people might have misunderstood something.
"Wait for me..."
Chen Xuanzang opened his mouth and was about to explain.
"Bang!"
But before Chen Xuanzang could finish his words, a shovel flew over and hit Chen Xuanzang on the forehead, causing blood to spatter immediately.
Chen Xuanzang, who was about to open his mouth to explain, rolled his eyes all of a sudden and felt his head was spinning backwards with severe pain.
The moment his body fell to the ground, Chen Xuanzang heard someone shouting again.
