Yuan Shen: I was reincarnated as the daughter of the Dragon King Ruo Tuo

She glanced at Mandrill, even if the heart of an immortal is unpredictable, even if she is just a mortal, at this moment she could see the loneliness and confusion in the immortal who was watching alone.

The entire Wangshu Inn is an industry owned by the stars of Tianquan.

And she herself, including all the staff of Wangshu Inn, is also a condensed person.

The location of Wangshu Inn is on an important road. Whether you are going from other places to Liyue Port or from Liyue Port to other places, you usually pass through Wangshu Inn.

The journey is far away, Wangshu Inn is the best place to rest and replenish.

The inn, just like the bar, is a place where information flows.

Ningguang set up this Wangshu Inn for the convenience of doing intelligence work.

The reason why Mandrill appears here is also because Ningguang will share some of the information it has found with Mandrill.

Some information about the appearance of evil spirits was handled by Mandrill.

Phil Godet was silent, she knew some information about Mandrill.

Most of the other immortals have their own caves and live a leisurely life in seclusion.

But Mandrill is good at fighting and killing, and his duty is also to be responsible for killing.

Before Ningguang took control of the Wangshu Inn, Mandrill's life, to put it more emotionally intelligent, was called eating and sleeping in the open.

To be honest, they are like wild beasts, fighting and killing everywhere.

Eat fruit when hungry, drink stream water when thirsty, and lie down on the grass or under a tree to sleep when tired.

It was after Ningguang took control of the Wangshu Inn that the wandering mandrill had a place to call home...or in other words, a "home" to take a break after a day of fighting.

Phil Godet glanced at Mandrill again, she sighed, and wanted to say something.

But looking at the vicissitudes, loneliness and confusion revealed by Mandrill.

She still didn't speak in the end.

Because she knows that the heart of a fairy cannot be healed by a mortal like her.

"I hope this immortal can also find his light."

Phil Godette shook her head, turned and went back to the house.

......

Mandrill has been lonely for thousands of years, and his heart is like stagnant water.

The appearance and departure of Philgodette did not cause any waves in his heart.

He didn't even look at Phil Godette, he just sat silently on the tall building, away from the crowd, watching alone.

He sat silently on the tall building for a long time, this kind of peaceful rest time was already a rare thing for him.

Just when he was silent and lost in thought.

"Hi, Uncle Mandrill, I'm coming!"

Mandrill heard the sound and looked around, but saw a girl with blond hair and dragon horns climbing up the tall building.

"You are... Ruo Ling? I haven't seen you in half a month, and the changes have changed a lot." Mandrill frowned.

Ruo Ling scratched his head: "Hey, grow up a bit, what are you doing, Uncle Mandrill?"

"It's nothing, just sitting alone."

Mandrill's voice was a bit cold, and his expression was also cold, giving him a feeling of repelling others thousands of miles away.

But anyone who sees his posture will not want to get closer.

"Thank you for the ghost thing."

Mandrill said so.

"Oh?"

Ruo Ling smiled: "So the one in the distance was really Uncle Mandrill?"

"Naturally, she has been polluted and may turn into a wronged soul who hurts others at any time. Since I let her go back, I should also take the responsibility of supervision."

"Hey, so that's the case, Uncle Mandrill is so handsome." Ruo Ling grinned.

"..."

Such innocent praise caused Mandrill to fall into a brief silence.

"What are you doing here?"

After a long time, Mandrill asked.

"I'm worried about Uncle Mandrill's karma, so I want to visit you."

"I see, thank you for your concern."

"I'm fine, you can go."

Mandrill's expression and words were as indifferent as ever, and after giving the order to evict the guest, he turned around and was about to leave.

But unfortunately, what he faced was Ruo Ling.

Ruo Ling's previous life was quite difficult, in the simple library of the orphanage piled up with books donated by caring people.

Knowing that knowledge is power, she has read many books.

At the same time, she also read a lot of psychology books.

As for why you need to study psychological books, because the injured orphan can only heal the injured heart by himself.

Before that, because of the influence of previous life experience, Ruo Ling was always on guard.

But after coming to this world, experiencing a lot of love, getting family and friends, experiencing beauty, learning how to live, and after that dream.

Her vigilance gradually lowered, and her heart gradually softened.

When a child who has studied psychology and knows how to read words and expressions has love and kindness in her heart, her light is very dazzling and invincible.

She knew Mandrill's story.

Mandrill used to be a carefree young man, until one day, a demon caught his weakness and arrested him as a sitting demon.

Mandrill of that period, under the persecution of the demon god, killed countless opponents, and was forced to eat the loser's dream.

It wasn't until the demon god met the Emperor Yanwang and was killed by the Yanwang that Mandrill was liberated.

The King of Rock gave him the name [Drill], and because of the kindness of the King of Rock, Mandrill signed a contract with the King of Rock and voluntarily worked for the King of Rock.

It's just that after going through so many things, the rescued Mandrill is no longer the innocent boy he once was.

After being taken under the command of King Yan, Mandrill still fights all day long to make a living.

He was ordered by the God of Rock to clear away the demon god's remnants and keep one side safe.

But as I said before, the demon god is immortal, and the celestial yakshas will inevitably be polluted by the demon god's residue in the process of fighting with the demon god's residue.

Prolonged killing will lead to the deterioration of the mind, coupled with the pollution of the residue of the demon god, the celestial yakshas will be entangled in karma and suffer great pain physically and mentally.

Many celestial yakshas chose to commit suicide to seek relief because they could not bear the pain caused by karma.

Compared with the pain caused by karma, death is really nothing more than a kind of carelessness.

Therefore, the fighting of the Yashas is not so much about eliminating the demon god's residue, as it is about bearing the demon god's resentment for the people of Liyue.

After thousands of years of fighting, Mandrill has accumulated mountains and seas of karma.

This terrifying karma will not only affect himself, but even those close to him will also be affected by karma.

Xingqiu's father was rescued by Mandrill before, and it only took 30 seconds for Mandrill to leave after the battle.

But even so, Xingqiu's father is still unable to escape the pollution of karma.

A mortal has only been by her side for 30 seconds and has been so hurt, so what kind of pain is Mandrill himself enduring?

Mandrill has always believed that the so-called karma is his own reward and should not affect others.

In his heart, Ruo Ling is a junior, a child.

Ruo Ling came to see him from a long distance, concerned about his condition.

This kindness made him somewhat relieved and joyful.

This feeling is very strange. Yasha, who has been killing alone for thousands of years, at this moment, has a sense of relief similar to that of a mortal old man because of the visit and care of the younger generation.

However, the better Ruo Ling is and the more he cares about him, the purer Ruo Ling will be in his heart.

In his heart, Ruo Ling is pure, a newborn baby with pure light on his body.

And he, who has huge karma, is dirty and unclean.

He couldn't let this crime, this karma, touch this innocent child.

The kinder Ruo Ling is and the better he treats him, the less he dares to let Ruo Ling approach him.

......

PS: I am a little tired today, so the update is late, sorry

Chapter 103 Mandrill's Purpose

The more precious something is, the more we must take care of it. This is human nature.

In Mandrill's heart, the self who is full of karma and good at killing is ominous and filthy.

And Ruo Ling is just a newborn child.

She is pure and kind.

The better Ruo Ling treats him and the brighter the light she emits, the more Mandrill is unwilling to contact her.

Because he didn't want his karma to pollute the pure heart of the child.

Ruo Ling is his junior, like a flawless gem, he wants to stay away from her and protect her.

After all, she called him Uncle Mandrill, and even traveled all the way to care about his health...

She really respected him as family.

Then how could he pollute this child.

Of course, the reason why Mandrill avoids Ruo Ling has a lot to do with his cold and distant personality.

If Ling has studied psychology, she knows two kinds of psychological knowledge and theories.

One is causality and the other is teleology.

What is causality and what is teleology?

For example, a child who has been bullied for a long time is introverted, does not want to go out, and stays at home all day.

Then, the experience of being bullied in the past is the [cause], while the current introversion and not wanting to go out is the [effect].

Because he was bullied before, he was timid and introverted, and he didn't want to go out. This is the [causality theory] that is currently accepted by the mainstream.

If mandrill's behavior is explained by the theory of causality, then it can be said that because of his previous experience, he is now indifferent and unwilling to contact people.

But causality also has its disadvantages. It believes that who you are at the moment depends on your past experiences.

And the past cannot be changed, so it is difficult for you to change now.

Teleology, on the other hand, is the exact opposite of causality.

There is a classic example of teleology called [18-degree well water].

The water in the well is 18 degrees at any time, but drinking well water in summer will feel cool, but drinking it in winter will feel cold.

The water is still the same water, drinking it in different seasons, but it feels different.

The same is true for experience, the experience itself is not important, what matters is the meaning you give to the experience.

It is also bullied and isolated. Ten years later, some people are still depressed and unhappy.

But some people just smiled dumbly, because this experience of being bullied made him learn to fight against loneliness early on.

Because you have eaten bitterness, you will cherish the sweetness of sugar.

Because of the experience of being bullied, he felt so happy and sweet when he met a sincere friendship.

Back to the original topic, what is teleology?
