By the Hengshui River, the sky is clear and sunny. The fox demon standing with his hands behind his back is gentle and polite.
Such a scene fell in the eyes of everyone in the escort team. For some reason, it felt extraordinarily magnificent and romantic.
But when the fox demon asked, no one dared to answer.
No matter how gentle and polite he appears, he is a demon after all!
Those who can speak human words are not ordinary monsters. Can you answer such a monster's question casually?
On the escort team's side, everyone was silent for a long time. Even the young man of the Zhang family, who had always been a bit reckless and naive, stayed quietly among the crowd at this time.
The atmosphere gradually started to become a little weird.
Among the escort team, the first ones to make noise were the horses pulling the cart.
The sense of touch of animals is sometimes more sensitive than that of humans. I don’t know which horse snorted uneasily first. Immediately afterwards, some horses began to shake their heads and kick, and some horses suddenly raised their hooves and neighed: "唏伦——"
The horses were neighing, and a driver who was driving the carriage suddenly lost control of his horse and somehow fell off the shaft!
He screamed in pain.
On the official road ahead, the fox demon who had been waiting patiently and quietly said slowly: "This driver, why are you panicked, why are you in pain, and why are you screaming?"
The waiter who fell to the ground was called, and for some reason, although he didn't want to answer in his heart, he answered involuntarily: "I...I saw you were scared and you were bumped by a horse, so I naturally panicked. "
"I couldn't control myself when I panicked, so I fell to the ground. I am made of flesh and blood, and I am not unconscious. I will naturally feel pain if I fall on the ground. If I feel pain, I will naturally scream."
After finishing this series of words, the fox demon turned his back to everyone and nodded: "What you said makes perfect sense. People are afraid of their own things. This is human nature. Human beings are made of flesh and blood, and screaming in pain is a natural reaction. It’s human nature.”
"But panic, pain, and shouting are not just for humans. Look, aren't the horses next to you and the insects under you the same?"
The worm beneath you?
These words were quite incomprehensible. After hearing the fox demon's incomprehensible words, the hand that was lying on the ground subconsciously moved his hips and lowered his head to look under him.
When he looked at it, he saw a little grasshopper with half of his leg broken lying on the place where he had just sat down!
Obviously, this grasshopper was injured by him.
The injured grasshopper was about to die from the pressure, but the removal of the hand immediately gave it a glimmer of hope.
It suddenly flapped its wings vigorously, made a buzzing sound, and flew away from the hand's eyes with a huff!
"Ah!" Zai Shou couldn't help but screamed again.
He felt inexplicably panicked and crawled away from the moment with his hands on his hands.
The place where he fell was not far from Song Ciwan, and he immediately climbed to the carriage where Song Ciwan was sitting.
He also hit the side of the car and was held by Lan Qiuyan.
Lan Qiuyan couldn't help but said: "Senior Brother Feng, are you okay?"
The waiter surnamed Feng stammered: "I, I..." His tongue was tied for a long time, and he was so panicked that he couldn't answer.
Ahead, the fox demon sighed softly and said: "Look, people will scream when they are panicked, and insects will scream when they are panicked. There are differences between humans and insects, animals, birds, and all creatures with hair and horns. What's the difference?"
"Why are all things born in nature, but humans are the primates?"
"Why are birds and beasts born in the mountains and fields, growing up in nature, but not favored by nature? If all the beasts want to become wise, not even one of them can achieve it."
"But people are born with intelligence!"
"Humans born with intelligence can learn to speak and walk at an early age, can be enlightened and rational, can know how to wear clothes to cover their shame, and build houses to protect themselves from the cold. They can light fires to cook cooked food, and can use birds, beasts, and all things as their diet!"
When he said the last sentence, "Everything is a recipe," the fox demon's always calm and gentle tone finally became slightly more elevated.
His emotions seemed to be agitated. On both sides of the official road, the grass and rocks shook, and the west wind became stronger.
"In a lifetime, how many insects and creatures will be killed by just stepping on them at will? People eat plants and trees, birds and beasts. That is the nature of the world and the way of life."
"But why is it forbidden by nature for monsters to eat human flesh? They are evil heretics?"
"Why? Why?"
His tone became louder and louder, and the word "why" floated in the small world where everyone in the escort team was, stirring up strong winds and making everyone dizzy.
Behind the escort team, someone couldn't help but screamed in panic again.
There were bursts of noise and confusion in the crowd.
The fox demon never looked back and only said: "Driver, since you have trampled off an insect foot, I will exchange your arm for the insect foot."
Before he finished speaking, Senior Brother Feng's right hand, which was being supported by Lan Qiuyan, disappeared.
Instead, it turned out to be a green, enlarged version of the insect's legs.
Lan Qiuyan screamed "Ah" in shock, and the fox demon said: "That woman, you screamed so loudly, are you pitying him?"
Lan Qiuyan opened her mouth and was about to answer like Senior Brother Feng. When he stabbed her diagonally, Song Ciwan stretched out a hand and gently patted Lan Qiuyan's shoulder.
This shot is really thrilling.
For some reason, Lan Qiuyan's urge to answer was suddenly knocked back.
Song Ciwan put her hands on Lan Qiuyan's shoulders as she stepped out of the car.
She stood in front of the car, and the magic of teaching unfolded invisibly.
"Fellow Taoist," Song Ciwan said, "Since you ask why humans are the primates among all things born in nature, you should know that compassion is also human nature. Can grass, trees, insects, birds and animals have compassion?"
This question stopped the fox demon.
The fox demon paused for a moment and said, "The sheep know how to kneel down to breastfeed, and the crows know how to nurse in return. Why don't birds and beasts have compassion?"
Song Ciwan said: "Ordinary birds and beasts still know compassion. Taoist friends use fox bodies to cultivate their bodies. Now they speak human words and seek truth and truth. Naturally, they will have more compassion. If this is the case, you know that you will What are the consequences of replacing a human arm with an insect foot and causing great harm to this person?"
The fox demon said: "It's just that he deserves it. No matter what the consequences are, isn't it what he should have suffered in the first place?"
Song Ciwan then sighed: "Friend Taoist, why do sheep, rabbits, cows and the like eat grass? Do we need to hunt tigers, leopards and other raptors? My friend, do we eat vegetarian food but not meat?"
After asking a question, she added: "Fellow Taoist, don't you like chicken?"
There is no fox who does not like to eat chicken, and the fox demon was immediately asked again.
He couldn't refute Song Ciwan's words.
Song Ciwan then said: "Sunshine, rain and dew nourish the grass and trees. Cattle, sheep and rabbits eat the grass and trees. Tigers, leopards and raptors also eat the cattle and sheep. All things decay and become spring mud. When the spring breeze blows next year, the grass and trees will grow vigorously again. In this way, it will be It’s the cycle of heaven, what do fellow Taoists think?”
The fox demon said "Ah", "That's how it is."
Song Ciwan said: "Humans are also a part of all living things. Therefore, humans eat vegetation, birds and animals, which are also the path of life. Insects on the earth are also born in this path. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
I apologize to my friends, the author is still not in good condition today, I know I owe the third update, I will make up for it tomorrow, face-palming.
