Chapter 299 Talking with each other

Ge Wunian paused for a moment, then said, "In my opinion, among all living things, those with intelligence are the most important, and those without intelligence are the second. Humans are born with intelligence, while monsters become intelligent later in life. Therefore, humans are favored by heaven and earth, and are the most intelligent of all things, so it is inevitable that they are arrogant. I think that's why everyone expressed dissatisfaction during the day."

Seeing that the person opposite him was listening carefully, Ge Wunian continued, "As for what Daoyou said about teaching everyone, although it is not wrong, it is fine if it is applied to humans, but when it is applied to monsters...they are born with fur and horns, and lay eggs in moisture. It is difficult to eliminate their wild nature, and there are good and bad people. How can they be worthy of Daoyou's teaching?"

Hearing this, Chongfan smiled faintly and said slowly: "Daoyou, you are wrong. First, in this world, humans are not the only race that are born with intelligence. It's just that humans are the most numerous and widely distributed among them."

Ge Wunian frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of some rare species in the world, "This is something I neglected. But these races are either chaotic and unintelligent, or they are so rare that they cannot make a difference."

He waved his hand.

But the person opposite him said, "Secondly, no matter what kind of creature it is, once it has spiritual wisdom, it will have seven emotions and six desires. Whether it is good or evil depends on self-selection and the environment. Among humans, there are those who are compassionate and save people from suffering, and there are also those who do evil and are worse than animals. Among monsters, there are those who are cunning and reckless, cold-blooded and murderous, and there are also those who value friendship and loyalty and practice meditation. The moment you have spiritual wisdom, your body is just an external appearance, and your heart is your true self. In this way, both humans and monsters are good and bad, so how can there be a distinction between high and low?"

Chong Fan looked over and saw Ge Wunian frowning in thought, then he said, "As for what Daoyou said about the difficulty in eliminating wildness, it's just like what Daoyou said before, monsters are spiritual beings born after birth, and most of them are born and raised, and have to explore on their own, so it's difficult for them to form a generational inheritance like humans. They are like blank sheets of paper, lacking guidance and education, so it's difficult for them to eliminate wildness. But it's precisely because of this that we need to teach them without discrimination, so that they know etiquette and reason, and get on the right path."

Hearing this, Ge Wunian nodded slightly, with a look of realization on his face.

"That being said, when the demon race reaches the highest level of cultivation, they all need to transform into human form. Isn't this proof that our human race is favored by heaven and earth and is superior to the demon race?"

Seeing that the old Taoist was determined to compete with him, Chongfan said helplessly, "Then Taoist friend, do you know about the relationship between Taishang and Nvwu in ancient times?"

Yes, this world also has legends similar to the one about Fuxi and Nuwa. Of course, they are only similar.

The only difference is that the names were changed to Tai Shang and Nv Wu.

"Taishang and Nüwu? Aren't they the gods of the human race in ancient times? How could I not know them?"

Why do you suddenly bring this up?

As he spoke, Ge Wunian seemed to suddenly think of something and his face froze.

All I heard was the voice from the other side: "In ancient times, all races competed with each other, and humans were just one of them. There was a wild beast, the favorite of heaven and earth, born strong. In order to become stronger, humans learned from it, and learned it to the highest level, and their bodies also changed. Some had natural beast ears, some had natural beast tails, some had natural beast claws, some had natural wings... They were powerful and protected their own people. Among them, Taishang and Nvwu, who had human bodies and snake tails, were the best among them, and were later worshipped as gods by humans."

Chongfan turned to look at the other party and said leisurely, "As time goes by, the human race rises and becomes the new favorite of the Heavenly Dao. The younger generation of the demon race is smart, so they follow the example of the past and learn from the human race. After learning to the highest level, their bodies also change to the human race. Over time, it is collectively called transformation. Therefore, this change is not special. Given time, thousands of years later, who knows which race the Heavenly Dao will favor? Instead of talking about superiority and inferiority, it is better to keep calm and be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Ge Wunian was just pondering over these words when he heard the lady opposite him slowly say, "I have an unwelcome request, and I hope that Master Ge can help me."

"Oh? Feel free to tell me, fellow Taoist." He suddenly became interested.

"Master Ge, please summon one hundred disciples and gather them together." Just listen to what he said.

"This..." Ge Wunian was stunned on the spot.

"I don't know what the use of friends is?"

But the person opposite smiled mysteriously, "The Sect Master will know later."

Ge Wunian thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.

It's just a temporary gathering of a hundred disciples, it's not a big deal.

After instructing the boy behind him, Ge Wunian said, "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

Under the gaze of all the disciples in the courtyard, the two men then walked out of the gate and flew into the sky on a cloud.

Not long after, auspicious clouds were seen flying towards the main peak and then landed on a tall pavilion.

Below the high pavilion is the spacious Qianhuamen Mountain Gate Square.

Later, led by the boy, one hundred disciples of Qianhua Sect came to the square in an orderly manner, all of them silent and silent.

But as you looked at each other, you could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Master, one hundred disciples have been summoned." The boy bowed and said loudly.

"Ah."

Ge Wunian turned to look at the person next to him, only to see a flash of light in the other person's hand, and a round bronze mirror appeared in his palm.

The bronze mirror slowly floated in the air, in a position where it could illuminate everyone below and also allow the two of them to see each other clearly.

After a moment, ripples like water waves slowly flashed across the mirror surface, and the picture inside suddenly changed.

I saw that the one hundred Qianhua Sect disciples originally reflected in the mirror had all changed their appearance!

Among them, more than seventy people still looked like humans, but their faces were very different from their original appearances. They included both men and women, young and old.

The other twenty or so people even turned into non-human forms, including birds, beasts, fish and insects.

Ge Wunian was shocked by what he saw.

"This...this is..."

Ge Wunian pointed at the magic mirror with an incredible look on his face.

The owner of the precious mirror smiled and said, "As you can see, what is reflected in this mirror is exactly what these one hundred people looked like in their past lives."

"So, whether you are a demon, a human, or any other living being, you are nothing but a shell, coming and going in this world, endlessly reborn. Today you are me, tomorrow I will be you, there is no difference in essence. Eventually you will become a grain of dust, sinking into the long river of history. As the saying goes, under the way of heaven, all beings are equal, nothing more than this."

Ge Wunian looked at the reflection in the magic mirror, then looked at the people below, waved his hand, and the boy below immediately understood and shouted, "Everyone, go away, go away!"

As the disciples dispersed, Ge Wunian stood on the attic, thinking for a long time.

Finally, he bowed and said self-deprecatingly: "This old man is obsessed."

He looked at the person in front of him steadily, his eyes bright, "What you said is far-sighted and grand, rarely seen in life. I have benefited a lot from your discussion, I admire you, I admire you!"

Chongfan smiled calmly and waved his hand, saying, "It's just my humble opinion. It's nothing special. It's up to the Sect Master to decide how to express your opinion."

Hearing this, Ge Wunian burst into laughter.

But the person opposite said, "Speaking of which, I came here this time because I have another matter I want to discuss with the Sect Master."
