Among mortals, there is often a saying that you judge people by their appearance. Among immortals, there is also a habit of judging people by their appearance.
Unless we reach the supreme state of no self, no one, and no sentient beings, break away from self-attachment, and truly achieve the equality of all living beings, appearance can really change and even determine the fate of a living being.
Whether in Shinto or Immortal realm, charm value is an extremely important value.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold.
For gods, temperament and image are also very important, otherwise there would be no various dharma appearances, immortal majesty, and mounts and magical weapons.
Although Shen Gongbao looks very depressing with his black robe and black crown, he practices the magic power of the Immortal family, which gives people a bright, awe-inspiring and majestic feeling, like a supreme, cold and ruthless law enforcer.
The image comes from the heart, which means that Shen Gongbao is ruthless and decisive in killing, but he will not kill casually, but kills according to a certain kind of law and a certain kind of conventional morality.
However, Ma Yuan's weird image makes people feel a strange chill, as if they have encountered an unruly and wanton madman.
One moment I was chatting and laughing with you, and the next moment I was talking to you from the bottom of my heart.
It really broke my heart, the orangutan blood on the corner of Ma Yuan's mouth had not yet dried, and the familiar smell of blood reminded Shen Gongbao of the smell of human sacrifice in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
"Fellow Taoist, it was you who broke my mountain of ghosts."
Although Ma Yuan was ferocious, when he saw that the person coming was a Taoist from the Immortal family, he was stunned for a moment, and then he turned out to be polite and bowed.
Shen Gongbao was a little surprised that Ma Yuan, who was eating people's hearts, could be so polite. As the saying goes, he extended his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person, but he also returned the salute and said calmly: "It's just a poor man."
"Where do fellow Taoists come from, from the Immortal Mountain and from the cave?" Ma Yuan asked in confusion, "What is the relationship with Empress Shiji?"
"Shen Gongbao from Jiuxiao Cave in Changsheng Mountain is a close friend of Empress Shiji." Shen Gongbao said calmly, "I am here to visit my friend today."
Ma Yuan's heart moved as he was a good friend of Empress Shi Ji. His thoughts went back and forth and he thought of many things.
For a moment, Ma Yuan showed his pale teeth and said with a smile: "Since he is a good friend of Empress Shiji, he is also a Xuanmen Immortal. I had no grudges with fellow Taoist Shen Gongbao in the past, and we have no grudges today. Why do you want to break this mountain of ghosts like me?"
Shen Gongbao frowned, always feeling some inexplicable sense of disobedience, and scolded: "Isn't it enough for you to eat people and refine their souls?"
Ma Yuan was immediately startled and asked in surprise: "Pindao always eats people casually, regardless of their origin, but he ate the slaves of Shen Daoyou's family?"
"If so, Ma Yuan is willing to apologize."
"That's not the case." Shen Gongbao's expression gradually became cold, and he seemed to understand something, and said coldly: "My country is far away from the coast of the East China Sea."
As expected, Yiqi Immortal Ma Yuan asked with a confused look on his face: "I have no grudges with fellow Taoists. Firstly, I have never had a bad relationship, and secondly, I have never eaten anyone in your family. Why are you looking for trouble with me?"
"Nie Zhan, I am also a human being." Shen Gongbao shouted loudly: "You are eating people and training their souls in front of me, how can I ignore it."
Ma Yuan was stunned at first, then laughed loudly and said: "Fellow Taoist is wrong, you and I are immortals, how can we be considered human beings? Immortals like us are immortal and carefree, so eating one or two people is nothing."
"You have never eaten chicken, duck, or fish. They are all living things. There is no difference between human flesh and other meat."
Shen Gongbao took a deep breath and finally understood where this feeling of dissonance came from.
Along the way, he has been in charge of an entire world, he has been ambitious and conquered the galaxy, he has been ruthless and ruthless, killing gods, covering an entire era, he has had pure divinity, and he has also stripped away humanity.
However, all kinds of experiences did not make Shen Gongbao cold-hearted. On the contrary, his emotions became more and more rich, and he thought that he was a human being, an immortal, and immortals are also a kind of human beings.
And in front of the road, there are twelve immortals, Chanjiao Daluo as an example. They are all happy people, not to mention the temperament of gods, sometimes they are more mortal than mortals.
Coupled with the fact that Chan's teachings are strict in accepting disciples and pay attention to character, Shen Gongbao has a performance that all immortals are like.
But when we leave the teachings and re-examine the issue of immortals and mortals.
Then you will have a horrifying discovery, does the immortal really regard himself as a human being?
Would a immortal, carefree and immortal man who possesses overwhelming power really recognize that he is of the same race and class as the mediocre mortals who live less than a hundred years?
The answer has already been given by Yiqi Immortal Ma Yuan.
No, absolutely not. In Ma Yuan's eyes, there is no difference between mortals and chickens, ducks and fish. They are all just a kind of food. Soul training is like collecting gold, stone, grass and trees to refine weapons. There is no difference.
That's why the vicious Ma Yuan was polite to Shen Gongbao, because mortals were beasts in his eyes, while immortals, who were in the same class as him, were equals.
Therefore, when Shen Gongbao scolded him for cannibalism, Ma Yuan would apologize first.
Yiqi Immortal Ma Yuan is not apologizing for mortals, but for Shen Gongbao's property.
In his opinion, it is only natural for him to catch two people and eat them. But if he catches people on Shen Gongbao's territory and eats them, it will damage the property of fellow Taoists.
Just like a hunter can go to the mountains to hunt pheasants and eat them, but if he catches his neighbor's chickens and eats them secretly, that is an immoral act and must be condemned and even compensated.
After smoothing all this out, Ma Yuan's image has emerged vividly on the page.
This is a bloody but moral immortal.
Because he abides by the morals of immortals and even the morals of Jiejiao.
After understanding this problem, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and thought of an extremely critical question.
Is the Yiqi Immortal Horse Yuan an individual phenomenon or a collective phenomenon?
Is it the mentality of a small number of immortals, or is it the Jiejiao? Even the immortals in the prehistoric times treat mortals this way.
"Ma Yuan!"
Shen Gongbao shouted loudly and quickly asked: "Among the Jiejiao, how many immortals like you are there who are eating people?"
"countless."
Ma Yuan was also a little annoyed, and said with righteous indignation: "Fellow Taoist Shen Gongbao must be too lenient. I heard that the descendants of black birds in Chaoge City are also eating people. They can eat people. It doesn't matter if I eat two people."
"Even for the Dragon Clan, which values bloodline the most, they always serve dragon liver and phoenix marrow at their annual banquet."
"At its root, they are just a group of ants that cannot become immortals or gods. They breed one after another."
"It's their honor to be the food of our generation's immortal family. If you are infected with some immortal energy, you might be able to become an immortal in your next life, which is also considered a meritorious deed."
"Haha..." Hearing this, Shen Gongbao suddenly laughed and said something incomprehensible: "Those with deep roots will become immortals; those with weak roots will become divine beings; those with shallow roots will become human beings and still follow reincarnation. catastrophe."
