Yu Peng continued to explain to Yang Yanbin.
"Those who have gained the Tao are not in any order, and those who have achieved it are the first. The fundamental point is that the Tao itself is unchanging. It has never changed from ancient times to the present. Whoever grasps the ultimate principle of this Tao will be the first to achieve it." It has reached a higher level. The way of heaven itself is fair. No matter whether you are a sage or a snotty kid on the street, whoever attains the way will be more powerful."
"As for the concept of hierarchy and the distinction between high and low, they are all distinguished by human society. It seems to be superior to others, but in fact, from the essence of life, human beings are just like a bug. There is no difference in the value of life."
Yang Yanbin's hair stood up when he heard these words, and he said bitterly
"If you say these words in front of our Taoist priests or senior brothers, I'm afraid they will be defined as fallacies, and they will pick up the sword to support justice."
"Ah? Is the layout so small?"
"It's not that the structure is small, it's that the impact of your words is too great. As you said, all levels of hierarchy are rules made by the big guys in order to better rule human society. You guys The point of view is correct, but it is enough if it is limited to yourself. If it spreads on a large scale, it will inevitably affect the balance of the social system, and they will naturally get rid of you."
"Okay, understand"
Yu Peng agrees with Yang Yanbin's words, but he doesn't agree that much. In fact, this knowledge is just not allowed to spread in the social structure. But in fact, in those real Taoist sects, it is not so mysterious. They may Will give you easier to understand and more profound interpretations
The reason why Yang Yanbin said this was that he didn't dare to continue listening. It was too shocking. Yang Yanbin didn't know if he could continue to insist on putting the interests of the family first after listening to all Yu Peng's reasons in his position and height. Willing to go to that unknown battlefield and never have the chance to come out
As Yu Peng said, ordinary people may understand these principles, but people like Yang Yanbin have never been exposed to them. Once they know, understand and agree with them, it will break all the cognitions they have learned.
At different levels, the knowledge they come into contact with is different. What ordinary people can learn is basically obedience. All knowledge and abilities are to serve the world and society. Who is the target of the service?
Some people always say that in this world, 97% of the people are serving the 3% of the people. What those 3% of people learn from childhood is how to manage and enslave those people. Ninety-seven percent of people
So what if ordinary people understand this? They can't do anything, but if any of these three percent of people are influenced by these principles, they will easily have an impact on the structure of this society.
This is why Yang Yanbin seems to have practiced Taoism for decades, but in fact, he has not learned many real skills. The key point is that they cannot really become Taoist priests. They want to be managers at the top of society. As a result What does it mean to cultivate yourself into a Taoist priest who has no desires or desires?
Therefore, in many abilities, Yang Yanbin is not as good as the guards and attendants secretly trained by his family, let alone those deadpools who specialize in solving troubles.
Deadpools are servants who are not afraid of life and death and can die at any time. The interests of the family are paramount. They are tied to many things, whether they are relatives or things or a chance to get ahead. They may even be like Yang Hongyu, in order to give their younger brother If you seek an identity, you can die at any time
No regrets
Power fascinates the eyes, and desire for profit seduce people's hearts. Countless people are in this place, one after another, going through fire and water, but what they pursue all their lives and sacrifice everything for is just a word from those big shots, or just a game of power.
Looking at Yang Yanbin sitting there blankly holding chopsticks, Yu Peng asked casually
"Then do I want to continue talking?"
Yang Yanbin became even more confused when he heard the inquiry.
Deep down in his consciousness, he wanted to continue listening. After all, these words seemed to open the door to a new century for Yang Yanbin, but the rules imprinted in his bones made him want to refuse, fearing that he would break what he had believed in for so many years. know everything
But in the end, Yang Yanbin let Yu Peng continue, because he suddenly realized that he would leave this world in October next year. He would definitely fulfill his agreement and would not have the slightest idea of escaping his fate. After listening to this, So what?
After receiving Yang Yanbin's reply, Yu Ping considered his words and continued.
"The purpose of cultivating the Tao is different. It seems that you have enjoyed the best resources and come into contact with the best inheritance, but the Tao you practice is actually just to strengthen your body and improve your own foundation. The purpose is to make you better equipped. Good conditions and foundation to control the operation of this society."
"This is fundamentally different from our practice of Taoism. This is why you, a group of people, can't defeat me even if you work together. Of course, there are other reasons for this, but in essence, the path of our practice of Taoism is indeed Different"
Yang Yanbin already understood what Yu Peng meant. As a party involved, he knew better than Yu Peng what the differences and situations were.
As Yu Peng said, since ancient times, emperors and generals have seemingly controlled the world, but in fact, all they can control is the palace. All the treasures, resources, and information they can obtain are Used to make him happy, to satisfy the so-called possession
Why did Qianlong visit the south of the Yangtze River seven times, and why did many emperors choose to visit privately incognito? Isn't it because they discovered after they went out that there were so many beautiful things in the world that they would never be able to access in the palace?
Even if it's just a bowl of wine, a cup of tea, street snacks, fruits and vegetables on the ground, and those beautiful women, you can't touch them in the palace.
They are all giants living in ivory towers
The same is true for Yang Yanbin. If his destiny had not been locked when he was eighteen years old, I am afraid that like his sister and his other friends, he would stand at the top of the world, talking and talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. A casual sentence can determine the life or death of many ordinary people. They think they have some control over this world, and they think they have everything.
But these are just thoughts
They never dare to say, "I want to eat food from a roadside stall once," because they will be ridiculed by others, and then they dare not cooperate with them to have deeper and more interests, for fear of being affected by your whims and dementia. to one's own interests
They never dare to try to find ordinary people as girlfriends, because this will be resisted by the family members, and they will worry about whether you are a fool, so they will use means to gradually kick you away from the core circle of the family.
Yang Yanbin has a deep understanding of this. From the age of thirteen, when his father had not yet become the patriarch of the family, the previous patriarch and the Presbyterian Council continued to provide Yang Yanbin with all kinds of support, including all the family's business, matters, and connections. , showed it to Yang Yanbin without hesitation, and tried to get him to participate.
But what happens after the age of eighteen, after the news gets out?
Before the next day, all the information related to the family business in his house had disappeared, and no one had ever talked to him about the family business.
"Then... what does Tao look like?"
Yang Yanbin was silent for a long time before continuing to ask new questions.
Then I asked Yu Peng.
"How do I know this? How old am I? My abilities are not enough to show off."
Yang Yanbin was also stunned by Yu Peng's words.
What? Did I hear that correctly?
Are you not good enough? Are you really prepared to tell me that I have cultivated myself into a dog after decades of cultivation?
You are not very capable at all, and then you beat all of us? I'll forget it, what about Yang Zi'ao, and where is that weirdo Yang Ruxin who knows Taoist magic and secret arts? Their ability can't be watered down, right? You beat us to the punch with one move, and then you told me that your ability is average. How is this nonsense?
Your abilities are average, how many hours can you soak in water of 100 degrees Celsius? Can you easily refine a peerless spiritual weapon? You still have the Qiankun Bag, and you can also teleport. Are you kidding me?
Seeing Yang Yanbin's disbelieving expression, Yu Peng could only explain:
"Really, I'm not lying to you. Compared with those who are successful in cultivating Taoism, I really don't even have a chance to move my fingers."
Yu Peng didn't lie to anyone at all. Yu Peng didn't know what the outside world was like, but compared with those people in the Absolute Realm, he couldn't count the number of people who could kill him instantly with two hands and two toes. Come, not to mention the little boy, there are more than 6,000 people in the extremity area. During the collective rebellion, they were killed by the little boy. What is the concept?
Moreover, he is just a child, and in his tribe, he is just a child. What do those tribesmen who are older than him think?
Why is Yu Peng always so humble and doesn't take his skills seriously? It's not out of politeness or pretending to be Versailles, it's because he really knows how powerful those big guys are.
These days, I have shown many extraordinary performances in front of people from these big families, which can cause a sensation in these families. In fact, if you switch to those sects and sects that are really practicing Taoism, they may think that these are all children's toys.
At most, they were just guessing which sect's child this was, who came out to be conspicuous with the sect's secret skills and abilities.
Of course Yang Yanbin didn't know this. He could only be surprised by the things he knew that were beyond the norm, just like Yu Peng back then.
Just as Yu Peng had guessed before, even if the Yang family paid half of their assets, they might not be able to send Yang Yanbin to the main sect that truly cultivates Taoism.
There are thresholds and boundaries
The Yang family is a threshold that ordinary people can't reach. The real Taoist faction is also a threshold that the Yang family can't reach.
