Chapter 596 Belief Pollution and Incense Poison

Hua Zhenxing asked back: "Why should I be disappointed?" His tone was calm.

Yue Gaole raised his voice exaggeratedly and said: "Even an outsider like me knows what you have been doing and what you have done all these years! That Zeng Huairen is an early cadre of the new alliance and the first generation of disciples cultivated by Yang Yuangu.

Many ordinary people have not heard your name, but not including her.The new alliance gave their family a beautiful new life, and Yang Yuangu gave her everything that she could not even dream of.

But how did she repay you?Stealing the Nine-Turn Zijin Pill is blocking your way; destroying the Nine-Turn Zijin Furnace Array is also destroying the sect's inheritance.Blocking people's way and destroying people's inheritance, this is a sworn hatred!

Is this the person you've worked so hard to save and give everything to make the world a better place? "

Hua Zhenxing raised his eyes and said, "Do you know her well?"

Yue Gaole: "I can't say I'm very familiar with it, but I just came back from the investigation of Vago Mining, and I know something about it. This person, or this kind of person, is actually not uncommon in the world.

She was an administrator employed by Wago Mining at the beginning, and she was one of the few so-called white-collar workers in that dilapidated Jili country.

From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on the local aborigines, thinking they were barbaric and ignorant... Well, this is also a fact.She also looked down on those low-level workers, thinking that she was different from them and belonged to a more noble class.

She lives in the illusion of the so-called middle class, but she doesn't know that she is also just the oppressed... There were not many such people in Jili Kingdom back then, and she happened to be one of them.

They don't care about history, are disgusted with grand narratives, are occasionally interested in historical stories, and only substitute the so-called noble life of some characters.

They do not seek to change the world, but desire to change themselves.You changed the world, and you showed her an opportunity to change herself.

Her husband used to be just an ordinary worker, someone she absolutely despised, but later became the backbone of the new alliance and the key training object, so she married him..."

Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but interrupted: "Mr. Yue, you are trying to make up your mind, what exactly are you going to investigate this time?"

Yue Gaole said with a smile: "Since I made a trip, besides you asking for my help, I will also investigate everything I am interested in. With my cultivation, even if it is a brain supplement, it is due to the law of karma."

Hua Zhenxing: "I admit that what you said may be right, but you don't fully understand this place, at least not as familiar with me. You only see Zeng Huaiyan, and I grew up here.

Many of Zeng Huaiyan's behaviors may unintentionally fit your description, but she is not an opportunist, she is not that complicated.

You reminded me last time, don't forget how you grew up, why did you forget this time?

Since I was a child, I have seen too many people like this, and there are also people who are stupider and worse than her.When it comes to stealing things, there were thieves everywhere in those days. Stealing is a skill education that most children have received from childhood.

They may not have the opportunity to learn how to behave in school, but they can easily observe and learn theft at home.When they grow up, they can use violence. Besides stealing, they will also rob, rob others or be robbed.

For example, if you are dressed like this and walk on the streets of Port Fiso, you will be surrounded by a group of children asking for money in the next second. As long as one is not careful, the wallet will be gone.

This is still a safe neighborhood. If you walk into a gang-controlled area, or a secluded area, you will be greeted with knives, guns, or needles filled with unknown liquids.

I've seen more than once a teenager break into someone's house and kill another person just to grab a pair of nice new shoes, put them on and walk away as if nothing happened.

They disregard life, because they themselves have never really lived, they are not real people, they are just ghosts in purgatory.

I said that I lived in purgatory back then. This is neither an exaggerated description nor a literary embellishment, but an appropriate fact.Neither the so-called upper class nor the lower class can change the fact that they all live in the same purgatory.

Although Zeng Huaiyan has Chinese descent from the Eastern Kingdom, she grew up in Wage City, and she is used to seeing these things since she was a child.This kind of mentality may have been cultivated in his bones only for his own selfishness and regardless of the consequences.

The world has changed, the circumstances have changed, and of course people need to change too, but some people have not kept up. "

Yue Gaole was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Director Hua really has a life, is this the reason why you are not disappointed?"

Hua Zhenxing: "There used to be such people everywhere in Jili Kingdom. I have been thinking about a question since I was a child, why is this place a purgatory, and can this purgatory be changed?
So what I've been looking for is hope, because I live in this world too.The premise of what you just said is that I think I have done enough and good enough.

The incident of Zeng Huairen shows that there are still such people in the world, and they may appear in Yangyuan Valley.It's not my fault, it's her fault, and it's something we want to change.

Since she was wrong, it just proves that ours is right, but it is not good enough, and we need to continue to work hard.I didn't lose hope back then, how can I be disappointed because of her today? "

Yue Gaole held up his chopsticks and said, "Xiaohua, your brain circuit is indeed quite strange, and you're still excited, aren't you?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Mr. Yue, do you know why I was not disappointed back then? There are thieves and robbers everywhere, but people can't survive only by stealing, otherwise they steal and rob others?

If no one in the world refines the Nine Rank Purple Golden Pill, may I ask where Zeng Huairen could go to steal it?Even in purgatory, the humans here are not extinct, why?

There are more people, they won't take you with a knife, but you often can't see them, because you can't tell the difference.

There are thousands of people in a block, even if there are only a few dozen gangsters who will grab you with a knife at any time and occupy you, you dare not go in at will.Not only are you afraid, but if you have to pass by, you will be afraid of everyone you see.

I've walked through neighborhoods like this, and I'd kill for anything.

This is what I should do, and I don't need to ask for thanks.But doing so alone will not change the world, nor will it bring real hope.

How do I know that the one who didn't do anything is a good person?That's okay, at least they didn't do it at the time.

Someone created everything that everyone depends on to survive, and created things that are worth stealing and looting, so robbers steal and rob.

For example, plantation slave labor like Aden, not only Aden, but even Shire.Shire, the head of state of New Guinea, was also a gangster back then, but he didn't live by extortion.

With a group of subordinates, Charles grows bananas in the suburbs, and he also has a workshop to brew banana wine.He would even ask me, a kid, for help, to search for information on the Internet, and to get testing equipment through the relationship of the grocery store.

Because of the Shire, at least there is wine in Fiso, even if it is the lowest kind of bad wine.He also tried his best to improve the quality management, and actually learned the control of alcohol, body, and sweetness.

In the poor school, he was a rare good student. He not only learned to read and write in Yinwen conversation, but also learned to do accounting.He joins the gang just to protect his business from people taking his booze.

Among the local gangs, he had no choice but to join the Big Head Gang when he was a child.Because he was born in that neighborhood, and he is also a descendant of a member of the Big Head Gang.

That's the local code, a kind of identity politics, the identity politics that gangster society puts on people.

Shire joined the Datou gang to protect himself, but there are still people who want to rob his brewery, that is Jin Datou.So Shire's ideal in life was to replace Jin Datou and become the leader of the Big Tou Gang.

It wasn't a lofty ideal, or a real way out, just the options he could see at the time.And what I saw, Charles was tossing so hard, working so hard, what he wanted to find was hope.

Only later did he understand that the real hope is not to become the big head of gold, but to completely change the whole world so that there will be no more big heads of gold.

Let everything created by the Adens no longer be stolen and plundered, and we and our descendants will no longer be oppressed and live in fear.

The Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill can help me practice, and without the Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill, it will not be able to block my path.Mr. Jo, I know exactly what you want to say.

What can really block my path is that I feel doubtful, disappointed, and unworthy of everything I have done, negate the hope I have been looking for, and change my heart. "

Yue Gaole nodded slowly and said: "That's right, if the Dao heart is shaken, it is impossible to break through and improve. If there are really experts who are secretly promoting this matter, this is the ultimate move against you."

Hua Zhenxing nodded and said: "I am very clear, but thank you for reminding me. My belief will not be shaken by Jin Datou at the beginning, and it will not be shaken by Zeng Huaiyen today."

The power of this ultimate move is that it is almost a kind of overt conspiracy. Even if you know the opponent's purpose, you will still be unconvinced. It's not that you can say that you have a strong Taoist heart and you can't break your defenses.

Yue Gaole: "It's good that you know it in your heart. But Xiaohua, there is another question. You just said that there were such people everywhere here, and you gave such people everything they wanted. The desire is endless?

Just like Zeng Huairen, you gave her the opportunity to become a five-level cultivator, and she then stole your Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill.The more you can get, the more you want, and you can't satisfy them forever.

The more you do, the higher people's expectations of you are, and the more they demand. This is the result of being too deeply involved in the world, and it will also shake your Dao heart...Have you heard of belief pollution? "

Belief pollution, in a broad sense, is not only aimed at the believer, but also at the believer, and it is also related to the so-called priest's dilemma. In short, it is more complicated.

The reason why people believe in gods is because they hope that such gods exist and can satisfy their wishes, and then believe that gods really exist.

There is a mathematician and philosopher who is very successful, who once argued whether people should believe in God?Through a very simple analysis, he deduced four situations——

First, God exists, I believe in God, and I have the opportunity to enter heaven, which is beneficial.

Second, God exists. If I don’t believe in God, I will go to hell, which is bad.

Third, God does not exist. I believe in God, which is neither good nor bad.

Fourth, God does not exist, I do not believe in God, neither good nor bad.

Combining these four situations, if you believe in God, it is either beneficial or it does not matter; if you do not believe in God, it is either harmful or it does not matter.So a rational person, of course chooses to believe in the gods.

Just looking at its argumentation method, the logic is actually established!

So what's the problem?Of course, it is the premise of his argument. Who told him that if gods exist, there are benefits to believing in gods, and there are disadvantages to not believing in gods?

Does he prove it?Actually no!He just defined the gods in this way, and deduced on this basis, so any conclusions derived are meaningless, because the definition itself is already a conclusion.

Can God be defined by him?And according to his definition, what is the difference between his so-called gods and gangsters who collect protection money?
How could one of the smartest brains in the world make such a low-level mistake?Because this is actually not his definition, but the definition according to the teaching classics, which claims to be self-evident, in other words, it has not been proved.

All the so-called self-evident preconceived ideas are actually a kind of perception pollution, false knowledge without seeing, it is related and different from belief pollution.

Then why there is such a teaching classic, the question goes back to the original source——

Regardless of whether the real god exists or not, when people start to define and worship the god, at least in the sense of philosophical concepts, it already exists, such as the existence in the dictionary.

There is a very interesting point of view that the so-called gods are all created by people. They are born from people's prayers and are a collection of beliefs, not a definition of priests.

But one can imagine how complicated people's wishes are, and what kind of stitch monster would this kind of god be?
Belief pollution in a narrow sense is aimed at gods.

Assuming that gods really exist, regardless of whether they are omniscient or not, at least they can hear the prayers of believers.But there is an obvious fact that the more optimistic and happy people are, the less they pray to the gods.

So what is the prayer that the gods hear the most?There is also a deeper question, why should a specific person expect to be satisfied from the gods?
Dissatisfaction with the world can become the driving force for changing reality, but when it is appealed to the gods, it often contains helplessness towards reality, curses on others, greed for something for nothing, and desire to escape guilt.

People's prayers to the gods must also contain many good wishes, but what the gods hear are more dirty desires-this is precisely the voice of the believers.

If gods exist because of faith, is the divinity constructed by faith also full of filth?

Some theologians made a patch specifically for this, first defining the supreme good of divinity, which is self-evident, and then giving these filth another place, creating another issue—the birth of Satan.

Whether the gods exist because of belief cannot be proved.However, priests and believers must exist because of their beliefs. Whether they are true beliefs or false beliefs, they may face belief pollution.

Whether the gods will break the defense is unknown, but priests are human.When the priests wrote the doctrinal classics, they intentionally or unintentionally left such traces, such as the gods launching the great flood that destroyed the world.

The sins that are everywhere in the world, God really can't stand it anymore, forget it, get tired, and destroy it!
The destruction of the world is the greatest evil that human beings can think of.Even if there are evil deeds in the world, those flowers and plants destroyed by the flood are not all guilty, right?

What caused God to decide to destroy the world, delete the number and retrain, can human sins determine God's behavior?The concept of belief pollution has so far surfaced, looming.

Jogale undoubtedly believed in the gods. He was the leader of the priests, a theologian, and a great magician at the peak.He mentioned this concept, of course not to discuss theological issues, but to remind Hua Zhenxing of his own situation.

Hua Zhenxing is not a god, he is just an ordinary person with self-cultivation, ideals, and willingness to practice, and he is still a college student.But at least in Jili Kingdom, his achievements surpassed the gods.

In the original Jili Kingdom, various witch religions were spread by various tribes, and there were also religions spread by foreign forces. Everyone believed in various gods, but these gods did not help them get rid of purgatory.

For example, Manman, who was born in the Sea God Clan, originally believed in the Sea God, but later found that worshiping the Sea God is unreliable. If you want to change your fate, you have to join the New Alliance to start a revolution.

When a person does something that even gods cannot do, it is inevitable that people will be regarded as gods, and then they expect and demand like gods.Even if he himself doesn't want to, some people will put it on the altar with various purposes.

Hua Zhenxing never thought about going to the altar, and even tried to avoid this situation from the beginning.

For example, most ordinary people have never heard his name, nor do they know what he has done.Another example is that he fabricated the identity of Feng Zibin as a symbol of the ultimate form of capital monopoly.

Some of the decisions seemed to be made by Hua Zhenxing himself, and they probably also came from the guidance of several old people.

Hua Zhenxing just didn't want to show off, and didn't do anything shameful.A disciple of Yangyuan Valley like Zeng Huaiyan, of course, can still understand his achievements and achievements.

There is a fact that many people are not aware of, but Yue Gaole pointed it out: Zeng Huairen's behavior stems from the selfishness of human nature, but at the same time she requires Hua Zhenxing to possess the supreme goodness of divinity.

What she said on the occasion of the Zongmen's tribunal was not an ordinary moral kidnapping. She used a completely different moral standard when treating Hua Zhenxing and treating herself.

When a person makes a request of God to another person and asks the other person to treat herself with the supreme goodness of divinity, it means that she is treating the other person with the selfishness of human nature and is polluting the divinity, even if the other person is really is God.

These are two sides of an inseparable body.

This kind of distortion is often seen in Hollywood-style super-British movies in the United States.For example, there is a famous saying, "With great power comes great responsibility."

The word power has double meanings in the English context. The former refers to the power possessed by possessing economic and political resources, and the latter refers to the ability possessed by one's talent and physique.

In the story template they created, the two were replaced intentionally or unconsciously by confusion.The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It should have been aimed at the former, but in the narrative logic, it has become aimed at the latter.

The plot of the actual demonstration became "the greater the ability, the first to die the whole family".

Those who can provide more help to people will have to pay a greater and heavier price, and those who have nothing will have to pay everything.

So we see that the superman who can smash the planet with one punch can defeat the alien invasion and save the world, but he can't prevent the parents' house from being taken away by the bank. In the end, he has to rely on the banker "friend" to buy the bank and "give it back".

Does this conform to even the slightest bit of realistic logic?Without a few hundred years of cerebral thrombosis, I might not be able to think of such a plot, but it spread to the whole world in such a grandiose manner.

Even a superman must abide by the perfect capital logic and class order, just like a domesticated sheep, otherwise he will be a blackened villain.

The power possessed by Superman should only be the power that some people expect, and it is also the power to serve them after all.

The other side of this narrative model, the collective and the masses, and the vast majority of ordinary people, are often ignored and dispelled, and become the noise of various so-called "group unconsciousness", making the audience only excited about the performance of individuals and small groups.

Another example is a child who has a smart and studious mind, who is bitten by an insect and possesses powerful superpowers. He still has to live honestly at the bottom of society. abuse.

The shaping of positive characters is accompanied by moral shaping. What kind of moral implication is this?The curse-like malice is implied, polluting the belief that can really bring hope to people.

What Yue Gaole said made Hua Zhenxing squint his eyes for a long time.After several mouthfuls of food, he replied: "Although I am not a ghost cultivator, I have also heard of the poison of incense, and I can understand what you said about the pollution of belief.

It was never my intention to give everyone everything they want, it is simply not possible and it is not my desire.The hope I pursue is fairness, so that everyone has the opportunity to change and improve through hard work.

I am not making promises as a god, but pursuing as a human being.Today's Jili Kingdom is jointly created by all the people in the country. In Yangyuan Valley, practice is the realm of each individual.

So what I said is true, not just an attitude. I understand this method and feel malicious, but it really never shakes my heart. "
