05032 - A position does not represent a consequence

Me: "Can I ask a question?"

Yuan Yong: "I just suggest you do that, not order you."

Me: "I just want to ask, is it convenient for me to ask questions in your proposal? If I ask too many questions, will it affect your actions?"

Yuan Yong said: "You are very receptive to suggestions."

Me: "It's okay, I didn't receive a warning from Yunxiazong, so I just follow your suggestion, and there will definitely be no irreversible damage, so even if there may be bad consequences, you can try it. If you get a good result, that’s even better.”

Wu Boyang: "It will definitely be a good result. The five of us are all your fans except Senior Yuan."

Yuan Yongan: "Standings do not represent consequences, and appearances do not represent reality. At least I know what is harmful to Pei Lin and to what extent, and the four of you, even if you understand you in the most benign direction, say 'maybe it's done with good intentions. Bad things are not too much to worry about, right?"

Wu Boping: "When the result comes out, you will know the exact answer."

Yuan Yong: "If you kill Pei Lin, I won't be surprised."

Me: "Senior Yuan, don't you want to be owed a life by me?"

Yuan Yong laughed: "That's right, if I save your life, let alone my existing debts, as long as I don't offend Yunxiazong to my death, Yunxiazong will probably not be with me no matter what debt I owe to Yunxiazong." Think about it. Thinking about it this way, I really should encourage these four guys to mess around."

Yang Xixing: "The three of them don't understand the rules of human beings very well, so they may do bad things with good intentions, but can't my activity in Shazhuan prove my familiarity with human rules?"

Yuan Yong said: "You are familiar with the rules of the sand school."

Me: "The Sand League is becoming more and more regular now, even to the point that sometimes people regret that it is so regular and lacks surprises. In other words, everyone in the Sand League is becoming more and more normal."

Yuan Yong said: "You can believe it, you don't need to convince me, I don't believe it."

Me: "So, you guys with me, where are you going at the first stop? You have four groups, so are you going to the same destination?"

Yang Xixing and the four of them expressed humility: "Senior Yuan / Fellow Daoist Yuan, let's decide first."

Yuan Yong said: "Act separately. I will take Pei Lin to pay off my debt first, and let him contact you after my side is finished."

Yang Xixing: "Yuan Daoyou, do you want to think again? If you act together with us, you may have a chance to get the secret treasure. Since you firmly believe that we are harmful to Pei Shao, then you should also believe in the place we took Pei Shao to. The level is not low, at least Nascent Soul level, otherwise it will not break Shao Pei's defense, and it is impossible to cause him any harm."

05033 - Difference between human and non-human

Yang Xixing: "Fellow Daoist Yuan is really not interested in Nascent Soul-level secret realm-related items?"

Yuan Yongxiu: "Frankly speaking, I'm really tempted, but even if you have malicious intentions towards Pei Lin, you probably won't really kill him, not only because of the deterrent power of Yunxiazong, but also because of Pei Lin's strange fortune in a certain direction. And I am probably worthless to you, so the secret realm that is at least the Nascent Soul level or the transformation god level is too dangerous for me. Even if I think optimistically that I really got any valuables from that secret realm, it is very likely It's something for non-humans, and I can't use it, so why should I work so hard?"

Yang Xixing: "Yuan Daoyou's human stance is particularly firm, which is really rare in modern times."

Me: "Is it because of the requirements of the exercises?"

Yuan Yong said: "Isn't the more likely reason not the bias of my way?"

Me: "It doesn't feel right. In the sense of cultivation, there is no difference between human and non-human. In the sense of the world, both human and non-human are part of the cyclic system. The higher the monk's Tao goes, the more integrated it will be with the world, so the Tao It is unlikely to exclude a certain type of existence, which will easily destroy the integrity of the Dao system. Although it is theoretically possible to cultivate a unique Dao based on destruction, it is somewhat asking for trouble, and in the modern cultivation environment , if you want to exclude non-human beings, you must first distinguish clearly which is non-human, which involves the definition of 'human'."

Me: "A demon in human form is considered a human being in some definitions; a ghost is formed after death, so some theories regard it as an extension of a human being; the initial biological attribute of a demon is a human being, but after becoming a demon, there are many theories. They are expelled from human status; there are also some human beings who are partly fused with spirit beasts, spirit plants, monsters, etc., so that their appearance is no longer human, so are their biological attributes still considered human? If not, it is not counted from the degree of integration ? Can it be counted only by changing the eye color? Can it be counted by changing the length of the neck? Can it be counted by changing the shape of the heart? So far there is no recognized standard.”

Me: "In addition, in the biological sense, human beings, that is, the animal kingdom chordates phylum vertebrates subphylum mammals class true animals subclass primates suborder anthropoids suborder hominid subfamily Homo sapiens, the history of this division method It is far shorter than the history of cultivation, and it first appeared in the mortal world."

Me: "In the early years, specifically before the first catastrophe - because there is no data on the specific situation in ancient times, so the rigorous argument can only be based on the data after the catastrophe - the conflict between human monks and non-human monks at that time It is far more serious than it is now. The hostile banners played at that time included "the hearts of non-human races must be different", but we must see that the occasions when this sentence was used at that time were far more than just wars between humans and non-humans. Including human-human fights of different sects."

05034-checks and balances

Me: "So at that time, the distinction was not between human and non-human, but only interests. In the scramble for resources, various excuses were found to suppress opponents. Non-humans are too large a group. In theory, everything in the world may become Non-human monks, think about it, if all the objects around you can be cultivated overnight, how many resources are left in the possession of human beings? The human monks at that time were frightened by this fantasy, and then adopted a large-scale suppression Action, so I also suppressed my upper limit."

Yuan Yongyu: "...what does this have to do with the fact that I reject inhumans because of martial arts rather than Dao?"

Me: "The relationship is that there is no upper limit in Taoism theory, but there is an upper limit in gongfa. Repelling inhumans will cause your upper limit to be suppressed, that is, you will not be able to reach an infinitely strong cultivation base, so you can only be limited. It is based on the method with a limit rather than the Tao with no limit."

Yuan Yong said: "..."

Yang Xixing: "He didn't understand."

Luo Shuangman: "No, he understands, but he doesn't accept it."

Me: "My own cultivation method is of course subject to my own preference. I express my understanding just to use Senior Yuan to assist me in my understanding of my own cultivation method."

Yuan Yongjin looked at Yang Xixing, then at Luo Shuangman, ignored the Wu siblings, and then said to me: "Give me an accurate word, do you want to leave the four of them and act alone with me?"

Me: "Although I don't have the slightest right to repay the debt, I can still have a say in the direction of my own actions. My answer is, no. I feel that it is dangerous to be alone with any of your groups. But I think you can check and balance each other together, and then my safety factor will increase. So, if you all want to use me as a medium to repay the debt, then act together. Otherwise, you may have to change the way of repaying the debt. When I When the sense of crisis is too high, I am unwilling to cooperate with you."

Yang Xixing: "If you leave Daoyou Yuan aside, what about the four of us acting together with you?"

Me: "No way. Among the five of you, only Senior Yuan is the only one I know a little bit about its origin. The other four are too confusing for me. Without Senior Yuan, I would feel flustered."

Yuan Yong: "How about getting rid of Luo Shuangman?"

Me: "I feel that you, Senior Yuan, are not afraid of Senior Yang, but have scruples about Senior Luo, so Senior Luo must stay, he is an important element to check and balance you."

Yang Xixing: "How about getting rid of these two elves?"

Me: "Senior Yang, you and the two fellow Daoists Wu are the two ends of the balance in matters concerning the secret realm."

Yuan Yong said: "No need to discuss?"

Me: "As long as the way of repaying the debt is this way, yes, it's not negotiable."

05035-can coexist

Yuan Yong: "We five debtors discuss one..."

"Wait a minute." Before he finished speaking, I hurriedly said, "You can discuss, but you can't avoid discussing with me, otherwise I will think that you have made some kind of plan to cheat me, and then the five of you will join forces to cheat me, then I hope There are no checks and balances.”

Yuan Yongam: "What do you think we would do if we wanted to avoid your discussion? Kick you out of this chat group, and then we will discuss it in this group knowing that you will think too much because of being kicked? Why don't we have another discussion?" Create a new group? Do you think we have already created one?"

Yang Xixing: "No, at least I haven't added a new group."

Brother and sister Wu: "Neither do we."

Luo Shuangman: "Me neither."

Yuan Yong said: "..."

Me: "Look, check and balance effect."

Yuan Yongan glanced at Luo Shuangman and said to me: "Okay, then we will act together. Although staying with them for a long time will make me uncomfortable, but this is a debt repayment task after all. It is strange that it is completely in line with my wishes."

Me: "So your request to separate is just a test?"

Yuan Yongan: "The task of debt collection is like this. The debtor and the debt collector see each other. If one party takes a step back, the other party will immediately step forward, squeezing each other's space, so as to strive for the greatest possible benefits for themselves."

Me: "Can't we cooperate to find a greater total benefit?"

Yuan Yong: "What misunderstanding do you have about the debt collection task? This is a 'debt collection' task. I owe you, and then you want to cooperate with me? Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you more?"

Me: "Debt is an economic issue, and cooperation is a matter of sincerity, and they can coexist."

Yuan Yongxiu: "The person who owes you a large debt, do you think he has a good character to you? Is he sincere?"

Me: "Based on the experience I have accumulated with Fellow Daoist Zhu Jiaopei, debtors can be driven by me. If Fellow Daoist Zhu didn't owe Yunxia Zong debts, she would not have so much patience to cooperate with me to sort out the whole secret realm in the secret realm of glutinous rice balls." Aura. When you have nothing to do with me, your tolerance for me is zero, and when you owe me a debt, this tolerance will increase to some extent, and if the increase is not enough, you are willing to pay off the debt It's not too difficult to reach the level of 'ten'."

Me: "If I tell you 'As long as you pay back [-]% of your total debts, I will consider you finished', your enthusiasm for repayment will definitely increase, and it is very likely that you will really pay it back, and what I need to do It is to induce you to do more things while you repay [-]% of the debt, and steal the remaining [-]% of the debt value."
