Chapter 2930 Sacrificing one’s body and becoming a Taoist
Qin Xuan couldn't help but fell into deep thought, with Ji Lantian's words just now echoing in his mind.
Although he is not a kind person with a compassionate heart, he has always believed that there is great love in the world. For example, Xitian God saved the suffering people in the world with Buddha's Dharma, and the seven sons of Xia Wangjie preached to the world. What a character.
Are the things they did useful?
He didn't think these things were utilitarian before, but if he thought about it from another perspective, it seemed that they were indeed utilitarian.
The purpose of the God of the West to save all sentient beings is to enhance his Dharma and reach the divine realm as soon as possible. The seven sons of the Xia King Realm preach to the world in the hope that the practitioners of Wuyahai will become strong and have enough strength to resist foreign enemies and protect Wuyahai in the future.
Peace.
Thinking of these, Qin Xuan frowned and felt an unprecedented contradiction in his heart. Who was wrong?
Ji Lantian glanced at Qin Xuan, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "I have taken the liberty to invite you here. It is Ji who is rude. Please don't blame me."
"It doesn't matter." Qin Xuan waved his hand and said, without thinking about right and wrong. After all, everything in the world has both pros and cons. If you dig deeper, you may not get the result, so it is better to treat it with a normal mind.
"Formal introduction, I am Ji Lantian, the Young Lord of Qianhe City." Ji Lantian said with a smile, his tone was very relaxed and natural, like a chat between friends, which invisibly shortened the distance between others and him.
"Qin Xuan." Qin Xuan also reported his name out of politeness.
"May I ask where Brother Qin is from?" Ji Lantian asked, obviously very curious about Qin Xuan's origins.
"Qin comes from an extremely remote place. Brother Ji should have never heard of it." Qin Xuan replied. His words were not a lie. Zhongxingtian was indeed very far away from here.
Ji Lantian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he understood that Qin Xuan did not want to reveal his origin, so he did not ask further.
"I heard that the Earth Roof will be opened soon. Brother Ji, as the young city lord, should know the Earth Roo very well, right?" Qin Xuan suddenly changed the topic, intending to get some useful information out of Ji Lantian.
Ji Lantian looked at Qin Xuan with deep meaning, as if he had seen through a lot, and immediately replied: "I don't know much about it. After all, the Earth's Gate is opened every few hundred years. When it was opened last time, I didn't have it yet."
Birth, without entering into it.”
Qin Xuan's eyes flashed. Ji Lantian was slightly older than him. It was normal for him to have never entered the Earth Cryptozoon. However, there must have been some strong men in the City Lord's Mansion who knew what was inside.
"In ancient times, a battle broke out here between several powerful Celestials and an evil demon king. The battle lasted for more than ten days and nights, shaking the world and turning the sky and the earth pale. In the end, the Celestials beheaded the evil demon king."
"However, Wanhua Tianzun was seriously injured in that battle and his life was hanging by a thread, so he sacrificed his life to become a Taoist, and thus he became the Earth Beast today." Ji Lantian said slowly, his voice was a little low, and his eyes were clear.
With a bit of admiration.
"Sacrifice yourself and transform into the Tao."
Qin Xuan whispered in his heart, and then seemed to understand something. He looked at Ji Lantian in disbelief and asked: "You mean, the Earth Beast is the physical body of Wanhua Tianzun?"
"Exactly." Ji Lantian nodded.
"This..." Qin Xuan trembled in his heart. Doesn't this mean that Wanhua Tianzun destroyed his body?
You must know how powerful the physical body of the Tianzun character is. It will not corrode after endless years. It can be called an immortal body. However, Wanhua Tianzun did not retain his physical body. Instead, he chose another path and sacrificed his body to become a human being.
Tao, leaving the inheritance to future generations.
What a tragic act.
"You just said that several Heavenly Lords fought against evil spirits, and Wanhua Heavenly Lord has fallen. Where are the other Heavenly Lords?" Qin Xuan suddenly asked Ji Lantian.
"I don't know. There is only the inheritance of Wanhua Tianzun here. Maybe they survived." Ji Lantian replied.
"As far as I know, among the Tianzuns who participated in the war, Wanhua Tianzun was the most powerful. He must have had a head-on confrontation with the evil spirits, and the other Tianzun assisted him in the battle."
Qin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of thinking. Wanhua Tianzun had a head-on confrontation with the evil demon, so he was the most seriously injured. In this way, the other Tianzun may indeed have survived.
From this point of view, the death of Wanhua Tianzun is really a pity.
However, if he does not come forward, then not only he will die, but all the people, and the price paid will be even more tragic.
Qin Xuan suddenly looked stunned, some thoughts flashed through his mind, and the doubts in his heart were solved at this moment.
Everything in the world has two sides, so the word "utility" naturally also exists. The key lies in how you look at it in your heart.
If we regard utilitarianism as the pursuit of self-interest, then no matter what we do, it will be utilitarian. This is what Ji Lantian thinks.
In Ji Lantian's eyes, goodwill and kindness are the result of weighing the pros and cons, because in his eyes, utility is centered on himself, and things that are not beneficial to him are useless and can be discarded at any time.
But if it is for the benefit of the common people, then it cannot be said to be utilitarian.
During the ancient war, powerful beings such as the Devouring Heavenly Lord and the Samsara Heavenly Lord fell. With their strength, they could survive the ancient war. However, they were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the people of the Jiuxuan Star Territory.
The same is true for Wanhua Tianzun. In order to leave a legacy to future generations, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life and become a Taoist.
It can be seen from this that Ji Lantian's ideas are too narrow. He only cares about his own interests, and the interests of others have nothing to do with him.
However, Qin Xuan can understand Ji Lantian's thoughts.
After all, not everyone has such a broad mind as Wanhua Tianzun. Most people are realistic. Even if he himself has not achieved it, how can he expect others to achieve it?
Although Qin Xuan thought a lot in his mind, this actually only happened in a very short period of time. Qin Xuan looked at Ji Lantian again and asked: "Do you know when the Earth's Gate will be opened?"
"I don't know, but it should be soon." Ji Lantian replied: "There should be many talented people coming next, and Qianhe City will be much more lively than usual."
Qin Xuan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
"Why don't you, brother Qin, stay here temporarily, and then we can go to the Land of the Earth together, and we can take care of each other." Ji Lantian said with a smile, as if to show his goodwill to Qin Xuan.
"No need, I'm still used to being alone." Qin Xuan declined politely. He and Ji Lantian have different personalities, and they are destined not to be true friends. Moreover, this person's inner world is very deep, and is far from what he seems on the surface.
Simple, it is better to have less contact.
Seeing that Qin Xuan insisted on leaving, Ji Lantian made no attempt to stay, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will order someone to escort Brother Qin out of the house."
"Thank you." Qin Xuan thanked him.
Ji Lantian thought, and not long after, a figure came here, specifically to see Qin Xuan leave the city lord's palace.
"Farewell." Qin Xuan said to Ji Lantian, and then left with the man.
Looking at Qin Xuan's leaving figure, Ji Lantian's eyes showed an unfathomable meaning. Although this person's cultivation level was only that of a fifth-level saint, it gave him a faint sense of threat. It seemed very complicated.
