Chapter 655 At the beginning of God-given masculine man
However, in most cases, the ending of these observed objects is not so happy, and they are likely to be tortured and killed.
Yes, I used the word torture, and that is indeed the case. For example, using a small wooden stick to poke and poke, knock and knock, and even directly pinch and pinch...
Seeing these little beings constantly twisting their bodies due to various pains and fears, the children will often laugh happily, while only the older ones will show some pity and intolerance.
You could say they were just curious and that's why they did it.
Of course, this statement may be correct, and they are indeed curious, but more often than not, it is because their thoughts have not yet been formed and they will only act with an innate instinct.
This instinct, just like when I lured and slayed the first-level monsters in the Moon Burial Forest, was something that I was likely to be able to do at that time.
As for pity? Sympathy? Maybe it will exist, but in most cases it will definitely not be given to them, but to humans who belong to the same clan as themselves. It is more often shown when facing relatives.
This is a difference in thought and cognition, which is the key to determining whether one's behavior is good or bad. One day, as one's strength improves, one's horizons broaden, and one's thoughts mature, some things will no longer be taken to heart.
Therefore, you rarely see an adult who tortures and kills small bugs and animals. If someone does do this, they will definitely be considered a mentally retarded pervert.
In addition to these reasons, there is another more widely circulated statement, which I am more convinced of.
This theory originates from the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which believes that children have sufficient yang energy, so their energy is always too strong. Although they are full of upward aspirations, they also have insufficient cognition and insufficient control.
In this way, excessive energy will be released naturally, and the specific manifestation is various kinds of destruction, so the unlucky ones are those little animals and bugs that are weaker than them and have no sense of belonging to the same species.
Of course, these little animals and bugs are not the only unlucky ones. You see, children are also top-notch in demolishing homes, and their destructive power is even more astonishing when they let out their emotions wantonly.
A word that has been popular in recent years called "four-legged gold-swallowing beast" is very vivid. Among them, the word "beast" is the most expressive, vividly describing the instability and gradual improvement of children in the process of growth.
It is comparable to "beasts" whose minds are far different from those of humans.
As for why I am convinced of this statement, only comparison can prove it.
Perhaps many people have also discovered that after people reach middle age, they no longer have so many inner ambitions, and more people begin to choose a muddle-headed life.
The goals are getting smaller and smaller, the ideals are getting weaker and weaker, the ideas are getting more and more pragmatic, and there are no more heroic words like when I was a child.
As for the elderly, it’s good to be alive, so what ambitions are there? Enjoying life and living in the present is their biggest pursuit!
This is the state of decadence that humans gradually show as they grow older and the yang energy in their bodies continues to drain away.
When one day this yang energy completely dissipates, then this person will reach the point of passing away from this world and go to another world to report.
This statement was shared with everyone when I first broke through the realm of Taichu. It can be said to be one of the most accurate expressions about human life deep in my heart.
At the same time, it is also a statement that perfectly fits the theory of cultivating immortals in this dream world, and is extremely self-consistent.
"Is this phenomenon common?" I asked.
"Yes!" Yuan Qitian replied, he knew what I was asking.
"How long?" I continued to ask.
"It's been a long, long time, almost two thousand years!" He sighed: "This has almost become a hobby of your human monks and a living habit engraved in their bones."
What Yuan Qitian was talking about was that monks captured monsters to use as their legs and mounts, just like Pu Lao used to control the bald-headed monster eagle just now.
"Back then, the human monks abandoned their traditional practice of recuperation and suddenly launched a massive attack on the survival points of our demon race. Among them, Confucianism and Buddhism were the most active."
"After killing countless fellow demons and seizing the vast living territory, some of them began to try to conquer the demons and enslave them."
"This kind of thing was only a small probability event at the beginning, and only a few human races would do it. After all, most human monks at that time still had the idea that 'people who are not my race must have different minds.'"
"But soon this trend spread uncontrollably, and more and more human monks participated in the action of capturing the demon clan."
"Since then, our demon tribe has rarely suffered losses, but most of them have become the legions and demon pets of human monks. In addition to being driven by them and contributing to their strength, they have also become a symbol of their identity among powerful monks."
"Alas...it's hard to put it into words!" Yuan Qitian sighed.
Later, he continued to tell me many things that had happened in the past two thousand years, many of which were details like demon pets that I had never paid attention to before, which really opened my eyes.
I really didn't expect that the gathering places of the major monster clans that were once classified as forbidden areas by the Confucian sect have now become hunting grounds for human monks.
In addition to the old village chief I met before, who combined the power of monks with the forces of the mortal world to expand the scope of survival in an organized way and sweep away the demon clan, there are also many powerful monks who formed one demon hunting team after another.
Go deep into the demon clan’s hinterland to capture powerful and rare demon clans for trade.
These things make me speechless every time I hear them, and I marvel at the profound changes in the world of immortality today.
"Where's the Taoist sect? I've just been hearing you talk about how Confucianism and Buddhism are keen on hunting monsters, but you rarely mention the Taoist sect." I was keenly aware of the difference in the expressions of different organizations in Yuan Qitian's words, and couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, you don't know, right? The Taoist sects in your human race have always had a good relationship with the demon race, and they cooperate a lot, right?" He said in surprise.
Only then, after Yuan Qitian's further introduction, did I realize that I knew very little about this monk sect that I had never had formal contact with.
Fortunately, I thought before that they just follow the Taoism naturally and have no desires or desires. Now I am stunned to find that the Taoist sect has such a harmonious relationship with the demon clan.
But think about it, this is also a natural manifestation of Taoism!
Since humans and monsters are both born and raised creatures, except when some careerists rise, most of the time there is no life-or-death competition between the two groups.
Even if competition for practice resources occasionally breaks out, the world is so big that there are always other ways for everyone to get what they need and develop together.
The core ideas and specific practices of Taoism really make me admire you!
