The endless vitality of the Six Paths of Impermanence has a fatal attraction for many simple-minded ordinary people, as well as monsters who follow their instincts too much.
Many people spend their whole lives trying every means to become the six realms of impermanence, obtain a body that will not be destroyed, and obtain an endless lifespan. If you do good deeds with such thoughts, it will be too utilitarian and will naturally fail to achieve your goal. Doing evil is even harder to say. When people do bad things, they always have reasons that suit the needs of the time, but no one really becomes a heinous sinner in order to live forever. Even if you do this, you will only be burned clean by the karma fire of hell in the end.
So, where does the vitality of the Six Paths of Impermanence come from?
It seems that very few...almost no one has thought about this question. Everything is as it should be, as it is by nature, as if it is a taboo to interfere with this matter. Even the six realms of impermanence itself rarely discuss this matter. Although it can't be said to be a taboo, in comparison, there are always things that should be paid more attention to and that should be solved before this.
"This is the authority of the underworld." Qinghe Canhua and Maoyuejun said, "Life waxes and wanes, souls swirl around, and all creatures in the world are so balanced. Relatively speaking, the lifespan of Zai Wuchang has reached a staggering length. level. But such vitality does not come out of thin air. Even that adult does not have the ability to fabricate life."
"Fabricating life...?" Wenying interrupted her unconsciously, "Isn't this a forbidden spell? I thought that the creation of life would be restricted only when it goes against ethics. This must be because the adult knew the consequences of doing so. ——So, I naturally believe that He has such ability. But when you say this, I am a little confused."
"Yes, that adult can't do it." Uoyuki-kun said seriously.
Kong Lingbei hugged his shoulders and leaned against the door. The shadow under the eaves covered half of his face, looking a little indifferent.
"So, because He can't do it, why doesn't He let others do it?"
"That's not the case. On the contrary, precisely because He can't do it, He knows how much unnecessary resources and time people in the world will spend on impossible things. In the process of pursuing goals, people do not care about the cost, regardless of the cost. As a result, he even dares to trample all laws in the world and abandon human ethics. Even so, no real life that can be defined as life will be born. And on this path of pursuit, there are heavy piles of carrion and cloth. Full of stagnant blood.”
Xie Zhe sighed deeply.
"I think I understand what you mean. So what the Lord prohibits is not fabricating life itself, but rather not letting people sacrifice too many unnecessary things on a fruitless road. And fabricating life is a matter of course. , even that adult couldn’t do it—so people in the world can’t reach this height.”
"That's true. Otherwise, I'm afraid this person will have to take the position of the Lord of Naraku." Han Chang shook his head.
"Sorry for interrupting you," Ling Huan was particularly concerned about the previous topic. She asked anxiously, "So, doesn't the vitality of the Six Paths of Impermanence come from that adult? He doesn't have any powerful spells that can continuously supply spiritual power. Does the land provide for you?”
"The source of power goes back to the original question."
What is the source of vitality that can sustain the six realms of impermanence?
Lord Uoyue slowly raised his hand and pointed quietly at the person in front of him. Xie Zhe looked at her slender hand pointing towards him and felt very confused. What does it mean? Before he could ask any questions, Lord Uoyue moved his fingers slightly and moved them to Ling Huan's body. Ling Quan was also startled and didn't know why. Then, Lord Uoyue raised his other hand and slowly pointed at Lintian Master on the other side.
Master Lintian took a deep breath, but did not show any surprise. Others who were not named were equally confused. Uoyuki-kun slowly lowered his hand. Whether she was lifting or putting it down, her movements seemed very slow and laborious, as if what she was moving was not a part of her body, but something heavier.
"Although I had such an idea in the past, I was somewhat surprised after it was confirmed." Master Lintian said.
"I don't understand," Ling Huan asked in a daze, "What does it mean?"
After saying that, she immediately turned to Xie Zhe for help. Xie Zhe opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say. He had an idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. So he waited, waiting for Utsuki-kun to admit or deny something personally, as if he still had some illusion about the truth.
"It's you." Her voice was very soft, as if coming from a very far away place. "Each of you."
Every human being, every living human being.
Long Miao remembered something.
"If you take out one penny from every common person's pocket and use it to pay taxes, this amount will not affect anyone's life. After all, people who really have only one penny left in their pockets will have long since starved to death. Isn't that right? ? So no one will really die for this...the tax money is placed in the treasury and used to build fortifications or provide disaster relief. In short, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
It's just an example, everything can be strictly implemented without any mistakes, and there will never be any mistakes. The number of collections is not considered frequent. Even if the money is accumulated in a short period of time, it will not suddenly cause a large living person to starve to death in the street.
No matter how the money was collected, it was directly transferred from the hands of the people in a special form without anyone noticing. No one knows that a penny has been taken away from them, not even the stingiest person. But the money taken away must be used to serve the common people.
This act of expropriation was not told to anyone, and no one knew that his property had been unreasonably occupied, at least he was not notified, and he did not get anyone's permission. Is this unfair?
If you hide it, you are hiding it, and if you lie to it, you are cheating. This is wrong. "
These words were so clear, as if he had discussed them with Utsuki-kun just now. But Long Miao felt something strange that he couldn't explain: Lord Uoyue was clearly talking to them about another thing at this moment, but the previous conversation still appeared in his mind. He remembered that it was also a quiet night. Likewise, he also remembers his own attitude and his own answers.
"This is a question of whether the nature of 'right and wrong' is 'proper'. Just like I believe that no matter monsters, animals or humans, they are born evil. Even if evil deeds are done to me, I will not complain. Good deeds It's the same reason. Besides, when you get the benefits, isn't it natural to pay the price? If you really guarantee fairness, this is understandable."
Of course it was more than that, they said a lot more. But Long Miao kept these words firmly in his heart. He wouldn't think about it just because he had nothing to do, but he firmly believed that these profound words must have hidden some secret that Utsuki-kun couldn't reveal at that time.
He remembered her attitude.
"Because of its hidden nature, I always feel restless...Although it has always been peaceful and quiet, my worries seem unfounded...I still feel bad...I can't get over this hurdle." .”
But she is still here, on the post of Six Paths Impermanence, and among the responsibilities of Huangquan December. It's not that she doesn't face her work because she can't understand it, but that she knows that she can't change, compete, or come up with better solutions. She chooses the best way, moves forward in helplessness, and implements her own goals. of goodness and justice.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Nothing wrong.
Nothing wrong?
He suddenly felt an unspeakable nausea. He couldn't tell why. Is it because of Uoyue-kun's "hypocrisy"? Absolutely not. She did not lie. On the contrary, even though she knew the truth and was opposed to it, she still carried out her work conscientiously without any intention of not cooperating. Because she knew that she couldn't think of a better way, so she could only choose the most suitable one at the moment. This is also a helplessness.
So what is he suffering from? Long Miao really couldn't explain clearly. He just felt itchy all over his body, making him restless. He frowned, feeling irritated and wanting to leave here and be alone. But he didn't want to leave Utsuki-kun just like that. It seemed to violate his duty, even if there were many people here, even if it was safe.
Kong Lingbei didn't feel anything at all. But when he saw Long Miao being so unwell, he felt somewhat confused.
"Are you okay?"
"nothing."
"You don't sound like it's nothing."
Forget it, don’t think about it for now. It seemed that the reactions of the humans were different. Master Lintian seemed to have some emotions of his own, but in the end he acted calmly, as if he had already accepted the answer to the question. As for the girl Ling Huan, it seemed like she didn't understand, or... even she understood, she didn't show anything. It was just Xie Zhe who was immersed in an indescribable emotion. Even in the dim light it could be seen that his face was gray and his expression was so vacant.
Therefore, every physical death of every six-path impermanent person comes at the cost of the vitality of all human beings. No one among the three thousand mortal beings knows this dark and sad secret. However, is this considered dark and sad? There are countless more humans in the world than there are in the underworld. Sharing the burden on everyone is just stealing a tiny fraction of their lifespan, or even a shorter lifespan. No matter how critical the situation is, it is impossible for someone to die in such a short time, right? In comparison, Zao Wuchang experienced a death, which was nothing more than pulling out a hair from each human body. This was nothing at all - it was really insignificant.
but……
But...
"Has no one known about this for thousands of years?" asked Wenying.
"Well, I'm afraid I won't say anything if I know it... People who can come into contact with this level of truth are definitely not ordinary people. Whether they accept it or not, it doesn't matter. But I'm sorry, as a monster... how I feel I'm afraid it doesn't mean anything. I actually don't feel much about it - it's probably a little cold."
"Why do you think so?" Wenying frowned, "You have been traveling in the world for so long, but I think it is more ridiculous and unreasonable than you do. Think about it, no one would believe this kind of thing, let alone no one would mind. Although it sounds like it hurts people's lives, it really doesn't feel real, let alone it is so short-lived. More often than not, they probably won't tell the truth."
Because no one knows the consequences of telling it seriously. Whether it is ignored or caused panic, it is equally sad. This either proves that people have no real concept of their own interests and do not realize what an arrogant claim the behavior of Hades is; or it proves that people are so small, so fragile, and so powerless - and those who know the truth, Nothing can be done.
Their voices didn't even reach Naraku's end.
