Chapter 856 Good and evil in a single thought
Shen Wuzheng thought for a while and asked with a smile: "Ruyi, let me ask you, do you think human nature is inherently good or inherently evil?"

The topic suddenly shifted from Yuwen Zui to the good and evil of human nature. Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, but still thought about it seriously, but he also understood that even a saint might not be able to answer such a question.

So he shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure."

Shen Wuzheng smiled and said, "This answer is correct."

"Oh?"

"Human nature has good and evil, just like people are born with differences between beauty and ugliness. It's impossible to say for sure."

"..."

"In fact, good and evil can be interchanged, just like beauty and ugliness. If a person dares to use a knife on his face or cultivate poison, beauty and ugliness can also be interchanged; if a person learns from the pain, good and evil can also change his mind in an instant."

Shang Ruyi murmured: "Good and evil in one thought?"

Seeing her thoughtful look, Shen Wuzheng's eyes became gentler and he was silent for a moment. Seeing that the emotions in Shang Ruyi's eyes gradually calmed down, he said again: "Let me ask you again, what do you think about the fight between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince? What are we doing right or wrong?”

"this--"

This time, Shang Ruyi was not as happy as before. Instead, he glanced at Shen Wuzheng with an embarrassed expression, and Shen Wuzheng smiled calmly at her and said: "Regardless of life or death, regardless of grudges; regardless of fairness to King Qin, or Regardless of the prince’s character, just say this matter, whether it is right or wrong.”

Shang Ruyi was silent for another moment, and finally sighed softly: "That's not right."

"..."

"Always, the eldest son should inherit the throne. Not only because this rule has been followed from ancient times to the present, but also because this rule can prevent people from changing their minds. Changes will lead to chaos, and chaos will bring unrest to the family and the people. Uneasy."

Shen Wuzheng said: "Not bad."

"..."

"You, me, and many other people, we all know that doing this will cause turmoil in the court, which may then lead to greater war in the world, but we still do it. Why?"

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Brother said just now that he doesn't care about life and death, and doesn't care about grudges. But when things come to an end, who can care about life or death?"

"..."

"The prince left home to practice medicine. Half of the achievements of the Yuwen family were achieved by Feng Chen with his swords and shots. But as soon as the prince came back, he took away everything that should belong to him. This is unfair in the first place. Don't say anything about him. I can't bear it, and neither can I; what's more, Yu Mingyue is involved, and I am also involved. In the end, this fight will be life and death. "

"..."

"I'm not a great evil person, but I'm also not a saint who can help others regardless of his own life or death."

"..."

"As for brother..."

Looking at Shang Ruyi's solemn eyes, Shen Wuzheng smiled and nodded: "You and I both know that this is wrong, but we still do it. You will always stand by King Qin's side, and I will help King Qin make suggestions. As for the operation, Yuan, Shen Tutai, Shantong'er and others will do the same."

"..."

"At the end of the day, we just give in to our own 'evil'."

"..."

"However, we 'do evil', and we can all convince ourselves - you understand that this canonization is unfair to the King of Qin who has been giving so much, and you have to protect yourself; and I, I can't let my little sister get any harm, so I have to To protect you from being defeated in this battle, I will always stand by the King of Qin; as for the other people under the King of Qin, either for friendship or fame and fortune, in short, everyone can convince themselves to do evil. ""... "

"In fact, except for saints, almost everyone in this world will 'do evil' every moment every day, and they also convince themselves to do what they want to do. It's just that things have different sizes, such as stealing the country. , as small as stealing a hook, has different consequences; some people will make amends afterward, not only for the consequences, but also for their own kindness, while some people will leave a lasting infamy.”

"..."

"even,"

At this point, he smiled faintly and said: "Your husband, maybe he doesn't need to convince himself at all, because he wants whatever he wants; he doesn't have to make up for it. Not only that, he may also gag people and make people pout. Pen, don’t let people talk about your faults.”

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi thought about Yu Wenye's bad temper again and couldn't help but smile.

As soon as her smile curled up at the corners of her lips, Shen Wuzheng continued, "But the prince is not such a person."

Shang Ruyi looked at him with wide eyes: "He——"

Shen Wuzheng said: "Most people, including us, we will do evil, and we can convince ourselves and accept ourselves after doing evil, so you and I sit here and talk about these things, and we feel at ease; but he, he can neither stop" Even if you do evil, you can’t accept yourself as evil.”

"..."

"You can imagine how much pain he was in."

Shang Ruyi's heartbeat was pounding, and she said, "So, that's why he wanted to become a monk in the first place, and even gave up his status as the prince of the country to travel around and practice?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "You just said that with a single thought of good or evil, many people will have good or evil consequences and their own destiny after this thought."

"..."

"But he trapped himself in that thought."

"..."

"I've been stuck for these years."

Shang Ruyi took a breath of air--it turned out to be that.

It turns out that in the past ten years, Yu Wenzhen has traveled to many places and done many things, but he has always lived in a moment, a moment where good thoughts and evil thoughts intertwined and kept tearing him apart.

He can't stop himself from doing evil, but he can't accept himself doing evil.

Therefore, when Yu Wenye took him back to Luoyang, it made no difference whether the fallen boulders he encountered, the saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal hidden behind the mountain wall were made by Yu Mingyue or him. He would also be happy because Yu Wenye returned safely; when Yu Wenye went to Fufeng, he knew that he would be in danger and did not dissuade him. It would indeed kill Yu Wenye, just like watching Yu Wenye struggle and collapse in the lake. But he still gave himself the two sachets secretly, and later they would help him resist Xue Xian's army.

All of this has nothing to do with them, it's just him tearing himself apart.

Now, Shang Ruyi understood that in the gatha Master Xinzheng composed for him outside the gate of Dayan Temple, the best line Yu Wenzui said was - after thinking about it for a long time, he became a demon.

He knew that his heart had seen through him.

It seemed that Xinzheng still wanted to save him, so he further told him that although Buddha is not a demon, there is only a thin line between Buddha and demon. If you can figure it out, you are a Buddha; if you can't figure it out, you are a devil.

This is what happens between good and evil in a single thought!

After listening to these words, Jiang Yu, the fake monk who was reluctant to partake in food and wine, also left a sentence, which is that sentence - too much of the Buddha's heart is also the inner demon!

Today’s chapter is a bit too difficult to write. My mind has been in a state of confusion all day long. I hope I don’t make others more dizzy because of my dizziness.
