Chapter 332 Yuxuan's wonderful metaphor
"I object, too."
Dongfang Hongyue stood on Fang Yu's side.
Soon, Zhang Biyu and Jiang Chenyu also raised their objections.
Yuxuan looked to the other side again. The four male leaders had not raised any opinions yet. When Yuxuan looked over, Baili Liuyun said, "Master, you said this in order to resolve the killing calamity. However, there are indeed some obstacles in implementing this matter. Why don't we discuss a feasible method?"
Compared with the outright opposition, the four male monks stood on the side of Yuxuan.
Although Yuxuan's words were not very clear, her meaning was very clear. If they did not take action now and some people died, the disaster would be over.
If they insist on taking action and protecting more people, the disaster will become more and more serious, and they may even be affected.
In fact, they all have an idea in their minds about what to choose, but they are just too embarrassed to say it out loud. Especially as they are on the right path and uphold justice, they naturally cannot say anything too cruel and cold.
They were complaining in their hearts that two evil cults had infiltrated the opposition!
Yuxuan initially thought that Fang Yu would be the only one who opposed it. He would then explain everything to Fang Yu and the matter would be over. However, he did not expect that there were so many people who opposed it that those who supported it did not dare to speak out.
Yu Xuan was helpless. She looked at Fang Yu, who looked quite angry, and sighed, "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me."
Everyone fell silent and looked at Yuxuan at the top.
Yuxuan casually drew a yin-yang fish and explained, "The universe has a fixed number. The heaven and earth distinguish between the clear and the turbid, and the clear and the turbid transform into each other, and the yin and yang are balanced. As a human being, you are born with the pure air and die with the turbid air. This is the fixed number. As a cultivator, you take in the pure air and expel the turbid air to achieve longevity.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty numbered a hundred million, all of whom admired the way of cultivation. The demon tribe numbered eight hundred million, all of whom absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon. Over the years, the pure air decreased and the turbid air increased, the yin and yang were reversed, and the heaven and earth were overturned. Therefore, there was a killing disaster to rectify the pure and turbid, and to stabilize the universe. "
Yuxuan fundamentally explained the origin of the killing calamity. Clear air is understood as food, and turbid air is understood as excrement. After people eat food, they will also excrete the residues of grains, and new food can also grow with the help of the residues. This also contains the principle of the transformation of clear and turbid air.
But once there are too many people, the speed of conversion cannot keep up with the speed of consumption.
Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of this system, the only way is to maintain a certain number of people, and any extra people must be killed.
It's cruel, but that's God's will.
Every time a killing calamity begins, it is also a warning from this world.
According to past practice, the monks of the upper realm are there to guard one side, just to serve as a deterrent and balance each other, and they do not take action. Even if they do, they will only restrain each other. The main battlefield is still fought by the monks below the upper realm.
This attack would result in countless casualties.
This time, the death of Master Huanglong broke this convention. The demon clan first killed a cultivator in the realm of knowing destiny, which touched the sensitive nerves of the people in the Central Plains. Then the desert became restless, causing too much pressure on the Central Plains. The top cultivators had to take action. After all, they were indeed the pillars.
With this move, the war ended at an unimaginable speed.
Yuxuan had not comprehended the essence of the killing calamity before, but after the war, he observed the celestial phenomena at night and realized the reason. With a heavy heart, as the person with the highest cultivation in Central Plains and the leader of the righteous path, he must stand up and lead everyone onto the right path.
In Yuxuan's demonstration, the black air mass of the Yin-Yang fish gradually expanded and then swallowed up the entire white air mass.
All the monks present knew what the consequences would be.
Yuxuan had said before that people are born with pure air and die with turbid air. When there is only turbid air left in this world, how can there be a way to survive?
Even monks like them are no exception.
At this time, even Fang Yu fell silent. She could no longer express any objection. It was not because she cared about her own life, but she was a little confused for the moment. Is it really right to kill some people for the sake of others?
However, if we don’t do this, we will let everyone die and bring greater disaster for a moment of kindness. Is this right?
Fang Yu had no answer, he just felt something was wrong.
There are only two paths before us, and both are wrong.
At this time, Dongfang Hongyue suddenly thought of a problem she had encountered in the trial of the Moon Goddess Ruins.
What would you do when you need to sacrifice some people to save more people?
At that time, Dongfang Hongyue didn't quite understand why such a question suddenly appeared, and she answered it casually.
"Save the most people."
Then she passed, but she later talked to Zhang Biyu and Liu Ji, and Zhang Biyu's answer was: "Let it be."
If you don't save someone, whoever deserves to die will die naturally.
As for Liu Ji, he said simply: "It's none of my business."
Both of these two people’s answers passed, which shows that all answers to this question are acceptable, so much so that Dongfang Hongyue felt that this question was meaningless and was just to fill in the gaps.
Now faced with the same situation again, Dongfang Hongyue couldn't help but make associations.
Did the Moon Goddess at that time also face the same dilemma as they do now?
If killing is for the purpose of protecting life, then who should be killed and who should be saved?
The Taoyuan Conference entered a stalemate for the first time.
Everyone who has reached this position is certainly not sentimental. Everyone knows what is right, but who will be the first to agree with this plan?
Moreover, if the news here leaks out in the future, the first person who agrees will surely be criticized by everyone.
Not only would he be accused, but his entire sect would also be affected.
At this time, Yuxuan came up with a good idea.
"I know that it is very hard for everyone to make this decision. I know that none of you value your lives, but we cannot act on impulse. So, let's vote. Including me, there are nine of us in total. Let's vote anonymously, and the minority must obey the majority."
Yuxuan waved her hand, and a piece of white paper appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone wrote down their opinions of agreement and opposition on paper and handed it to Yuxuan. The voting results came out soon.
Seven votes in favor, one abstention, and one vote against.
No one cares about who abstained and who opposed. As long as most people agree, that's enough. The final abstention and opposition can be regarded as the final way to save face.
At least, everyone is not unanimously cold-blooded.
"Now that things have come to this, please restrain your men in the next battle. If the other side does not send out upper-level cultivators, you should not take action."
Everyone agreed, and the meeting ended here.
Several sect leaders quietly withdrew. After they left, Fang Yu suddenly asked, "How many people must die before this disaster is over?"
Yuxuan shook her head and did not answer.
"Let everything be left to fate!"
"Master, your cultivation is so profound that you cannot defy the will of heaven, right?"
Fang Yu looked at Yu Xuan with burning eyes, and Yu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's easy to know the will of heaven, but it's hard to go against it, and it's hard to disobey the will of heaven."
He looked at Fang Yu and added another sentence.
"All the monks think they are changing their fate against the will of heaven. In fact, everyone is like a fish in water. If they want to change their fate against the will of heaven, they can only jump out of the pond. But since they are fish, how can they leave the water?"
"Is it true that destiny cannot be violated?"
Fang Yu's determination to follow the Tao began to waver.
Since people are moving forward along a predetermined destiny from the beginning, what is the meaning of everything she is doing now?
"Maybe it's possible. As long as you stay in this fish pond, you are not a fish from the beginning."
After Yuxuan finished speaking, she also left the Taoyuan Secret Realm. Not long after, Fang Yu was also sent out of the Taoyuan Secret Realm.
She was still thinking about Yuxuan's wonderful metaphor and had no answer for the moment.
Then she thought about the fate that could not be defied, and the love tribulation between her and Lin Yun...
well……
Fang Yu let out a long sigh.
When she first heard that Lin Yun was missing, she was secretly upset and sad for a long time. Later, when she heard that Lin Yun was safe, she felt relieved.
When Fang Yu heard Lin Yu talk about how Lin Yun voluntarily went to the grassland undercover in order to protect the one he loved, she felt both distressed and sweet.
Lin Yun must be worried that she would get injured in the fight.
After all this coming and going, Lin Yun has already taken root firmly in her heart.
Sure enough, there is no escape from the disaster of love.
So, will she hurt Lin Yun in the future?
Fang Yu's mood was complicated again.
There were many times when she almost gave up struggling and wanted to let nature take its course and just fall in love with Lin Yun.
But thinking that he might kill Lin Yun, he tried to restrain himself from thinking about Lin Yun.
But the more she tried to restrain herself, the deeper she fell.
Today's vote also made Fang Yu realize that he might face such a choice in the future.
Kill Lin Yun to save the people, or, for Lin Yun, ignore the people.
This time, she chose to abstain.
She didn't know what was the right choice.
But after making the choice, she felt that she was sorry for Lin Yun.
If she really loved him, she should have firmly opposed it.
In short, Fang Yu is feeling very depressed now.
At this moment, a messenger came to report: "The Son of the Grassland God is challenging us outside the city!"
Fang Yu, who was alone in the room, soon heard Dongfang Hongyue's voice: "I will fight."
"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Just let me do it."
This is the flower fairy.
"You all don't have to fight, let me go meet him!"
This is Lin Yu.
Fang Yu was very puzzled. Why are all of you so warlike?
At the beginning, Lin Yu only told her that Lin Yun had a tribe in the grassland and was noticed by the Snow Girl, so he went there as an undercover agent. At that time, Lin Yun did not yet have the identity of the Son of God.
This time, they knew that Lin Yun was the Son of God, but they did not explain it to Fang Yu.
This was also because Fang Yu did not find a chance to ask. If she had asked Lin Yu, Lin Yu would certainly not hide it. But Fang Yu was still conflicted in her heart. Although she cared about Lin Yun's situation, she did not dare to let others know that she cared so much about Lin Yun.
Little did she know that three people had already set their sights on her.
"You don't have to fight, let me do it!"
Fang Yu walked out of the room and volunteered. She was feeling depressed and couldn't wait to have a fight with someone to vent her inner depression.
"No!" x3
The three unanimous voices of objection stunned Fang Yu.
"???"
What, am I not worthy of taking action?
