Chapter 454 Protecting the Way
The crow spirit was like a chicken with its neck grabbed, kicking its legs weakly, unable to speak.
"Senior, please spare my life!" the crow spirit said after struggling hard.
Su Xiaowei looked at the crow. It was really shiny black. If you looked carefully, it was quite beautiful.
"This crow is quite pretty, and its cultivation is not bad either. Why don't you stew it to nourish your body?" Wang Xuan threw the cage aside.
When the crow spirit heard Wang Xuan say that he was going to eat it, it trembled in fear. Was it really necessary to be so cruel?
"Don't eat me. I am willing to be your servant and serve you all my life. I will be your slave. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west.
I only ask you to let me live!" The crow spirit was about to cry.
Normally, it is a demon king with great power and arrogance. It is used to bullying others and some immortals bow and scrape when they see it.
But today, it is going to be stewed and eaten with an indifferent attitude!
This way of dying is too shameful and too worthless.
Su Xiaowei shook her head slightly: "Brother Wang, although it has done evil, it can atone for its sins, which is much better than killing it directly."
It is better to let the evildoer do good for the rest of his life than to kill him to stop the evil.
Moreover, although all beings are equal, killing a celestial demon who has practiced for hundreds of years just because of a few ordinary people will indeed be questioned by the practice community.
The lives of heavenly creatures are too valuable. One person can be worth a million soldiers, and this is not an exaggeration.
Wang Xuan was actually trying to scare the crow spirit. After practicing for so many years, especially after becoming a true disciple of Xianwu Mountain, he had killed many people from the Earth civilization, especially those who fought against alien races, and he could count them on his fingers.
When the crow spirit heard Su Xiaowei's words, he nodded quickly: "I still have to atone for my mistakes. If I die, I will have no chance."
In fact, in its heart, it did not feel that it had done anything wrong that needed to be atonement for. It did not kill people indiscriminately, nor did it rebel.
An elephant might accidentally trample tens of thousands of ants to death. So who can be blamed for the ordinary people who knew that there was something wrong with Crow Mountain but still refused to move away and were then infected by evil spirits?
According to the laws of nature, the two people in front of him were simply bored.
Ordinary people are weak, so they are right? Do they have to be careful not to hurt ordinary people all the time, just like elephants always watch their feet and not step on an ant?
You are a great demon, and you don’t invite these weaklings home to be your ancestors. Do you need to live such a hard life?
Human beings are so hypocritical. They obviously only care about their own interests, but they still come up with a lot of morals.
Why do ordinary people also have dignity? Why should they be treated like ants? Why should they be ordinary?
unfair!unfair!
If the world is like this, I will definitely go against the will of heaven!
What the hell is unfairness? What the hell is going against the will of heaven? When their interests are violated, they get angry. When they see others have meat in their pots, they get angry that they don’t have it. The fact is that simple.
In nature, the strong prey on the weak, being weak is the original sin, and people enjoy power and treatment according to their strength.
that is it.
Just like the Black Mountain Crow in front of Wang Xuan, it was as well-behaved and obedient as a husky.
"Now humans are in charge. Even though you are a demon, you still have to abide by human rules. There are so many rules in the universe. Whoever has the bigger fist has the bigger rules.
In the solar system, human rules are the laws of nature. Since you made a mistake, it is only natural that you should be punished."
Wang Xuan glanced at the crow spirit, and it immediately trembled with fear. He thought that this guy was really the reincarnation of the god of death.
Dogs have their own way and rats have their own way. Ordinary people and practitioners are from two completely different worlds, and the rules that apply to them are completely different.
But today's earth civilization has not yet separated the world of heaven and man, and has not yet separated the human world where ordinary people live and the world of practice where practitioners live.
There are many cases of humans and dragons living together, such as the crow spirit. This problem may be solved in the future, but it still exists now.
However, since ordinary people enjoy the benefits of cultivators appearing out of nowhere and can obtain many skills and resources, they naturally also face the dangers that exist at the same time.
There's nothing unfair about this.
"Brother Wang, what are the rules?" Su Xiaowei asked curiously.
Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Rules are something that living beings use to facilitate survival and protect each other's interests.
Under normal circumstances, principles for maintaining the public interest will form rules, namely laws, morals, and industry norms.
But in reality, once the rules are not recognized, they are bullshit.
A thousand years ago, ministers who pretended to obey their kings but actually disobeyed them were considered treacherous ministers, but nowadays, anyone who talks about the relationship between the king and his ministers is a fool.
Even in the same era, the same region, or even the same family, people’s rules of conduct vary greatly due to their environment, cognition, wisdom, and other reasons. This is probably why the world is so colorful and yet so disgusting. "
The rules a person follows are always unique in this world. If this is the way a person follows, he is destined to be alone all his life.
Everyone is lonely, no matter if they are husband and wife, father and son, or close friends, no matter how close they are, they cannot truly become one.
This is the lonely fate of living beings and the inevitable result of the existence of consciousness.
"Are the rules bad?" Su Xiaowei asked again.
Wang Xuan said: "Of course, the existing rules of mankind are the accumulation of generations.
Some people benefit from the rules, while others are trapped by them. I am not surprised at what a few people can do for their own interests.
Rules create peace and stability. Without rules, the strong will only prey on the weak, which will lead to chaos and primitiveness.
Just like me, if I didn't follow the rules, this crow spirit would be killed and eaten, but now it has a chance to survive."
Wang Xuan stretched out his hand and grasped the crow spirit in his hand. The realm of creation enveloped it, and a large amount of creation vitality poured in.
The pure black crow spirit gradually turned into black and white. Even an ordinary person could recognize at a glance that it was a magpie announcing good news.
The crow spirit was filled with horror. How could a dignified Black Mountain Crow turn into a magpie?
“It is unlucky for a Buddhist nun to have a crow following her, so you should just be a magpie.
After ten years, you will naturally return to your original appearance.
If you can devote yourself to cultivating virtue, accumulating merits to help the masses, and become a messenger under Mingxin, I will help you transform into the body of the Golden Crow.
If you dare to show off your power again, I will peel off your skin and pull out your tendons."
The crow spirit nodded in agreement to everything Wang Xuan said. When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If it wants to survive, it must abide by Wang Xuan's rules.
"Xiao Wei, you can give it a new name." Wang Xuan said.
"Why not, just call her Xilai." Su Xiaowei also named her casually, but the simpler the name, the more likable it is.
Xilai landed on the girl's shoulder, calling her "trash". Although its demonic power and cultivation were still there, it could only maintain this dignity for the next ten years.
Wang Xuan's terror left it without the courage to resist.
Directly changing the species of this celestial demon is not a trick or a transformation. The difficulty of doing it is probably sky-high.
This person is really weird and powerful.
Fortunately, this man did not turn himself into a pig, and Xilai was relieved.
From then on, the matter of Crow Mountain came to an end, and the girl’s troubles were also gone for a while.
At the same time, she also gained a subordinate who was comparable to the Jade Terrace Fairy, which provided her with some security in the future.
Wang Xuan looked at Xilai and said, "This demon is fierce and ferocious, but it can still be used. If you can influence it and make it turn its heart to good, then Buddhism will be successful."
Su Xiaowei nodded: "I know that people in the world are suffering, and they suffer from hardships and pain, but helping the needy and resolving temporary difficulties is the lower way, and allowing people to gain spiritual salvation is the higher way.
But I can only help temporarily, and it is too difficult for sentient beings to redeem themselves and purify their souls. "
"It's difficult, but we have to do it." Wang Xuan said in a deep voice. This is the key to Su Xiaowei's enlightenment.
“Several years ago, your master, Bodhisattva Puji, explained the Buddhist techniques to me, and I also got a glimpse into Buddhism because of that.
Today I will write a sermon for you to help you get through the suffering in the hearts of the people. "
"If you want to write a perfect scripture that can be passed down from generation to generation, even a Bodhisattva would have to go into seclusion for many years. Brother Wang, you are in a hurry, so you don't have to waste your time for me." Su Xiaowei shook her head.
"Now that you have achieved earthly immortality, you can be considered to be in the same sky with me, but your vision is not broad enough."
Wang Xuan suddenly became full of pride, "If I say I can do it, then I will succeed! Tell me the scriptures you know, and then sort out your own practice philosophy.
Today, I will create your preaching text. "
I originally wanted to delete a lot of things in this chapter, but I feel that this is necessary text to explain the contradictions and values of this world. Although it may seem wordy, it is indispensable.
According to my deduction, that era was like this. Different classes had different values and frictions and conflicts arose. It was not surprising that people like Wang Xuan and monsters like the crow spirit appeared. I hope you don't mind my long-winded writing.
