My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 73: Zhong Su's Enlightenment

"Zhong Su, why do you say you are wrong?"

Facing Zhong Suli at this moment, Kong Xuan shook his feathers, and the word "pressure" was written all over his body.

Facing Zhong Su's slightly raised gaze, Kong Xuan pointed at his forehead and said.

"In other words, who are you to think is right and who is wrong?
So what if there is murder or burial alive? You should broaden your vision and look at everything with a more rational attitude.

Whether human or demon, including plants, trees, metals and stones, their lives are different, their destinies are not equal, but their souls all reincarnate in the six realms in the most equal manner.

You see, the Shang Dynasty buried tens of thousands of people alive with Tai Ding. This is probably the largest number of people buried alive that you have ever seen... right?

It's normal for you to be stimulated by this scene, but I don't want you to lose your mind and let the human side occupy more of your body and mind.

The word "man" already existed when there were no human beings in the world. Pangu is the ancestor of all things, and his appearance, standing tall and upright, is exactly like the word "man".

The human race is not unique in being noble. The reason why they are human beings is that the Queen Mother created them based on the shape and posture of their ancestor Pangu.

But you must know the difference between immortals and humans!"

Having said that, Kong Xuan picked up a glass of wine and poured it directly onto Zhong Suluo's robe.

Looking at the robe that was soaked by the fairy wine for a moment, Zhong Su hesitated for a moment, as if he realized something.

At the same time, Kong Xuan continued to speak to Zhong Su in his most serious manner.

"The immortals are the mountains among men, the pillars that support the sky, and the bonds that cover the sea.

In the past, when Pangu completed his mission of creating the heavens and the earth, he used his human body to transform into the heaven and the earth, his flesh and blood to form all things, and his spine to form the mountains.

Judging from the form of the word "immortal", it represents the yearning and pursuit of our ancestors by Qigong practitioners.

From a human being, one can cultivate a world like that of his ancestors, and build white jade pillars that support the sky and purple gold beams that span the sea. Only then can one have the search and realization of the word "immortality" from man to mountain!
Who is that person? It is Pangu, the ancestor of gods and demons.

And what are immortals? They are the sacrifices and offerings made by our ancestor Pangu to all living beings in heaven and earth.

Humans are the ancestors’ past, and immortals are the ancestors’ future. To overcome the imperfect past and welcome a more commendable future is to be an immortal.

Sympathy is a good emotion. Even among the seven emotions and six desires, empathy is definitely one of the top three positive emotions. But why do even good things have to be abandoned by immortals like us?

Because compared with all superficial desires controlled by desire, such as sympathy, only desire that is truly controlled by reason can be called positive desire!
If you cannot cut off superficial lust, you cannot develop your rationality to the greatest extent. If you are not rational enough, you can only allow lust to control you from the positive to the superficial or even the negative.

That would be like what you are doing now, wasting your energy on something you shouldn't have placed your trust in!"

Having said that, Kong Xuan saw that Zhong Su was really thinking seriously. He nodded with satisfaction, then sat down and calmed himself down.

He just patted Zhong Su's wrist and then spoke softly.

"Nowadays, burying people alive with their dead is a tradition that has been going on among your race since ancient times.

Traditions may be wrong, but whether they are wrong should be determined by the entire human race, not by your own path as an individual.

I admit that even my eldest brother thinks that burying people alive with their loved ones is not a good thing. The reason is very simple. Just like Hu Jiao said, it is too wasteful.

But you can try to go among the slaves and see what those slaves who were buried alive think.

I'm not talking nonsense, brother. If you indiscriminately stop one human sacrifice after another, you will not only be cursed to your face by the people and slaves.

Even, whenever those who survived encountered natural disasters or man-made calamities, they would blame you for the consequences.

It's all because of you, Zhong Su, that disrupted the sacrifice, that there is no rain or wind today.

It is because of you, Zhong Su, that you disrupted the sacrifices, which led to the poor harvest this year.

If you try to force the development of the times just because your own ideas are more progressive, this in itself is irresponsible to yourself and a kind of contempt for all others.

If you find that something is wrong, what you should do is not to stop it directly, but to find a way to educate people and spread your teachings to the world like the saints.

Only when everyone in the world thinks that something is wrong, then that thing is truly wrong. There are indeed occasional voices calling for the abolition of human sacrifices in the Shang Dynasty, but do you think that is just your awakening?

No, that kind of voice came from the reality that Jiejiao had been closely related to the Shang Dynasty for nearly five hundred years.

Abolishing human sacrifice, which makes society more equal on the surface, is exactly in line with the core teaching of Jiejiao that all things are equal and all living beings have a chance!

Don't let me see that determined look in your eyes. I think you clearly want to go against the development of the times and change the human sacrifice system.

But I dare to tell you shamelessly that if our Great Shang Dynasty is to perish one day, it must be because the Human Emperor made a decision to face the times and ruined his own luck.

Even if the Human Emperor suddenly came to abolish human sacrifices, then in the next few years or even decades, every natural disaster and man-made disaster in every place in the world would be blamed by foolish common people on the changes made by the Human Emperor.

Remember, A Su, the resentment of everyone in an era will only be concentrated on the most famous person. Even if more people enjoy the benefits brought by the changing times, there will still be people who are impacted by the times and condense their resentment on one person.

That kind of hatred is so strong that no one, whether the Human Emperor or the Saint, can stop it. Even the Human Emperor will lose his court and the Saint will fall from his throne!

Until this hatred is vented, that is, the people they hate lose everything, then people will place new hope on a new government or saint.

Just as people will boast and love the new saint in the future, they will hate the previous saint who lost everything. This is the irrational thing that all irrational people are destined to do!
So, now you know what you should really do?
It's not about directly confronting something you think is wrong.

Instead, investigate, think, research, pass on your findings to more people, and try every possible way to make your teachings last longer!

If everyone were an immortal, then everyone would naturally understand what you do.

As the saying goes, everyone is like a dragon. This does not mean that everyone is really that strong and scary. If we do not distinguish between the strong and the weak, the world will also be in chaos.

The so-called "everyone is like a dragon" means that everyone should think rationally like an immortal.

Reason is not heartless and insensitive, but it is a more correct, clear and profound way to control all your emotions, allowing everything to move forward along the path paved by all rational people.

You see, when Tai Ding died, more than ten thousand people were sacrificed and buried with him. I feel sympathetic for them.

However, you don’t know that it is the numb deaths of those dead that are subtly changing the way of thinking of every human being, including you.

Don’t want to sacrifice, but want change?
There are not so many good things in the world.

If the human race wants to become more glorious in the face of human calamity, does it have to count on the help of gods and immortals?

They have to rely on themselves, and you are now an immortal.

Don't you understand, Ah Su, you are no longer a human being! "

Having said that, Kong Xuan took a deep breath, then looked at Zhong Sulu with emotion.

Facing Kong Xuan's earnest gaze, Zhong Su took a sip of wine and then slowly put down the glass.

"I was wrong," he nodded. "And you were right."

Zhong Su raised his hand and pointed to the place where his robe was wet by the spirit wine, and continued to speak to Kong Xuan.

"You spilled my robe, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

In the past, I thought this was a bad thing because I was dirty and it was you who did it.

But if I were someone who loved wine like my life, I would enjoy it and even sleep with the aroma of wine on my robe.

In fact, if the robe was never dirty, how could I wash it? Who would go to the trouble of washing a piece of clothing that, in his opinion, was not dirty at all?

But the situation now is that I myself saw the dirtiness of the robe, but the world is full of people who love wine. They can't see it, or they choose not to see it in order to follow the majority.

So what I should do is not force them to wash their clothes, as that would make them blame me for making trouble.

What I should do is to make them think like me, and let them know that their robes are dirty, not stained with wine.

But now I have become an immortal, and this is a problem, because in the eyes of wine lovers, I have changed from a neutral person to a person who does not like wine.

If I try to persuade them at this time, they will question my position. Compared with right or wrong, they are more concerned about whether I am against them because I simply hate alcohol! "

Having said that, Zhong Suli pointed at the robe with his right hand, and the Rain Master's robe immediately became clean and brand new.

Then Zhong Su slowly stood up and saluted Kong Xuan solemnly.

“Thank you for your teachings, brother. Otherwise, I would have almost fallen into the devil’s way.

I have remembered today's feelings, and will remember them tomorrow... tomorrow...

boom! "

Zhong Su fell heavily to the ground, unconscious for a long time.

Seeing Zhong Su like this, Kong Xuan couldn't help but grin, and then pointed at Xiaolongnu.

"With this alcohol tolerance, how can you still have a future?

My dear daughter of the dragon, please help your master sober up. It’s time for me to go to the parade ground to inspect the soldiers.

Ha ha! "
