Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 86 What is a Human?

On the road outside, two pedestrians were talking and walking towards the teahouse, but when they reached the door, they turned around at the same time and left at the same time.

There was no reason, not even they themselves realized it, they just subconsciously chose to stay away - even though their original target was the teahouse.

This is a fear that comes from deep within their consciousness, which even they themselves cannot perceive, and it subconsciously leads them away from danger.

The teahouse seems peaceful, but only those with a certain level of mental strength will notice that the space inside the teahouse seems to be stagnant.

Qing Huan sat at the table, drinking tea seemingly calmly, ignoring the gaze of the black-haired man opposite her. She just said to the blond man, "As the saying goes, once you come to the door, you are a guest. It's not good to shout and kill the guests, right?"

The blond man looked calm and didn't say anything.

The black-haired man said, "We are only entertaining guests at home. If a little mouse accidentally enters, what's the harm if we kill it casually?"

Qing Huan narrowed his eyes, the mark between his eyebrows looming, he turned to look at the black-haired man, and said in a deep voice: "Even if it is a little mouse, it was brought by the guest. Old man with half of his body buried in the ground, don't make decisions for others without authorization!"

The black-haired man groaned barely perceptibly and stared at Qinghuan in shock.

The blond man raised his head and finally spoke, "It's not good to show off your talents at such a young age."

The mark on Qing Huan's forehead glowed with light, and he said, "Grandpa, do you finally think that I am qualified to talk to you?"

The blond man sighed and said, "You have achieved such success at such a young age. It's unprecedented. But don't forget your origins. Remember that you are a human being!"

The mark on his forehead gradually faded, Qing Huan smiled and said, "The old man just said that I was too aggressive... I have always been kind to others, I don't like disputes, if it can be solved with words, there is no need to use force, and I don't take some insignificant things to heart.

Sometimes even I feel that I don’t have the sharpness that young people should have...so this is the first time I’ve heard someone evaluate me like this.

The old man told me not to forget that I am a "human being". So what does the old man think "human beings" are? "

The blond man was a little confused, but he still thought about it and said, "People are naturally..."

As he spoke, the blond man became speechless and could not continue, frowning as he thought.

Qing Huan laughed and asked the black-haired man, "Then what do you think humans are?"

The black-haired man blurted out: "Of course he is a person, with two hands and two feet... uh... no, you can't judge a person by his appearance alone, you have to look at his inner self, his soul..."

As I was talking, I couldn't go on.

Qinghua laughed loudly and said, "Look, you can't even explain what a "human" is, and you want me to remember that I am a "human"?"

The blond man looked at Qing Huan with a strange look in his eyes and said, "Then what do you think humans are?"

Qing Huan shook the teacup in his hand casually and said, "The one who can say "the other party is not a human" is a human."

The blond man and the black-haired man looked at each other and wanted to refute, but after thinking deeply, they felt that this sentence made sense.

“Self-awareness is very important!”

Qing Huan put down the teacup and said seriously: "Humans and soul beasts may have different races, but aren't humans also divided into different groups based on blood, power, family, living habits, social structure, etc.?

Putting aside these different artificial concepts of division, what is the difference between humans and soul beasts?
In my opinion, it is just a matter of "self-perception"! People think of themselves as human beings, so they do things that are in line with "humanity".

When a hundred thousand year old soul beast transforms into a human and begins to "recognize itself" as a human, it is like a human baby growing up... Do you feel proud of strangling the baby?"

The two men opposite frowned tightly. It had to be said that they were somewhat convinced, but they still felt that something was wrong.

After a while, the blond man said, "Are you speaking for the soul beast?"

Qing Huan shook his head and said, "Old sir, please remember the four words "self-cognition"! Soul beasts that cannot transform do not regard themselves as "humans" in their self-cognition!
But the hundred thousand year old soul beast that transformed into a human has already begun to "self-recognize" itself as a human. The two are different!

I am not speaking for anyone, I am just stating this point of view! Even among humans, there are those who act contrary to the common human ideals and are classified as "good and evil", let alone the transformed soul beasts?

I don’t know how other transformed soul beasts behave, but this rabbit, although a little naughty, can still be considered “good”. ”

The blond man remained silent.

Instead, the black-haired man said irritably: "Stop talking so much, I just know that she is just like a soul beast, if you kill her you will get soul rings and soul bones!"

Qing Huan burst into laughter, slapped the table, and said, "So, you want to hunt down the incarnation of a hundred thousand year soul beast, just because of your own greed, you just want the hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone.

Do you think it’s not nice to talk about your own selfish desires, so you put on the righteous cover of “humanity” to satisfy yourself?
Do you want me to teach you a more noble and righteous word... "Carrying out justice on behalf of heaven", what do you think?"

The tone was full of sarcasm.

The blond man frowned and said nothing.

The black-haired man was a little annoyed, but he didn't know how to refute. In the end, he gave up and said, "Even if it's like you said, I just want spirit rings and spirit bones, so what?"

Qing Huan spread his hands and said, "Look, what's there to be embarrassed about? The Blood River Treasure, which spirit master doesn't want it? It's normal, old man, I understand."

The blond man glared at the black-haired man fiercely, leaving him bewildered. He asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Look, even this kid agrees."

The blond sighed and shook his head.

Qing Huan kindly explained for him, "Your Spirit Hall invited all the major colleges on the mainland to be your guests, and then you took a fancy to a student's treasure and planned to kill someone to steal the treasure...

Your elder brother thinks it's too embarrassing for you to say it out loud like this."

The black-haired man was stunned and said quickly: "I didn't! That's not what I meant... You kid, do you really think that you can save that soul beast with just a few words?"

The black-haired man was obviously angry. He stood up with a powerful aura. The shadow of a giant golden crocodile was looming behind him, and his power was fully unleashed!

Qing Huan naturally did not back down, the mark on his forehead reappeared, and he said: "You can choose to ignore what ordinary people say, but when I speak to you with a sword in my hand, you'd better listen carefully!"

"Crack!"

Starting from the table, the crack spread out, climbing up along the walls on both sides of the teahouse, and finally reaching the roof. The entire crack almost split the teahouse into two.

Normally, consciousness cannot directly interfere with matter, but if there is a medium as a transit, the result will be different.

It is just like human consciousness can control the body through the medium of "qi".

The mental powers of the two were released through soul power, and the momentum formed confronted each other, causing substantial damage.

The black-haired man's soul power is stronger than Qinghuan's, while Qinghuan's mental power is far stronger than the other. The final result of the combination of the two is that Qinghuan's momentum is obviously superior.

It was visible to the naked eye that the black-haired man was slowly falling backwards, but he held on and refused to retreat.

"Alright!" The blond man spoke to break the deadlock. A bright light appeared behind him, and his aura, like the backflow of seawater, penetrated directly between the two of them...

Of course, he was still biased. Although he was obviously separating the two, his aura was subtly suppressing Qinghuan.

Qinghuan was not so concerned about face. A virtual image of a giant tree flashed behind him, offsetting the momentum of the two men, and the whole person floated backwards.

After retreating to the door, he smiled and said, "Thank you two old gentlemen for the tea. I'll take my leave now!"

Having said that, he walked out without looking back.
