From the prototype, immortal - Chapter 1286
However, when Ji Dian looked back, he found that the people who beat him were Chang Wei and Esdeath.
The two of them stood side by side with a faint smile on their faces, as if the scene just now was just a little joke between them.
“An unfilial son should be beaten.”
Chang Wei said with a smile.
When Jidian heard this, an unknown fire suddenly surged in his heart, but he was more confused and puzzled.
“Did you do it? The devil is indeed a devil! The couple, Li Maochun and Wang, worked diligently and hard all their lives, and finally hoped for a happy ending in this life. How could you be so cruel and destroy their future in the next life? Opportunity?”
Ji Dian’s eyes were fixed on Chang Wei and Esdeath, as if he wanted to see through their innermost thoughts.
“Although I am no longer the mortal named Li Xiuyuan, Li Maochun and his wife are my parents in the past life after all. I will never forget this kindness. You ruined their chance of the next life. Today, I will do it for them no matter what. Seek justice.”
“Wait a minute, what explanation do you want to ask for?”
Seeing this, Chang Wei smiled softly, moved his fingers slightly, and an invisible ripple spread out around him with him as the center, instantly immobilizing Li Maochun, Wang and the surrounding crowd.
A very simple technique of immobilizing the body, allowing them to turn a blind eye, hear nothing, and not notice the passage of time.
“Opportunity in the next life!”
Ji Dian raised his voice, his tone filled with an unquestionable sense of justice, and he made a righteous accusation.
“Today is the day when Mr. and Mrs. Li Maochun died. They were in love all their lives, sharing the same bed and dying in the same cave. They could have continued their love in the next life. They also had the supreme destiny of emperor and empress. It is the happiness that many people dream of. But you , your action, your rescue, seems to be compassionate, but is actually cruel, ruining their happiness in the next life. Although they have been able to extend their lives, they have lost their supreme destiny. How can I compensate for this? “
“What should I pay for? Will the people after reincarnation still be Li Maochun and his wife?”
Chang Wei said with a smile.
Ji Dian was stunned. He had never considered the problem from this perspective.
Chang Wei’s question was like a bolt of lightning, illuminating an untouched corner of his heart.
“this……”
He hesitated for a long time, but couldn’t find a suitable answer.
“Reincarnation is actually the biggest problem.”
Chang Wei said slowly, with a hint of philosophy in his tone.
“We all know that people after reincarnation have actually forgotten their previous lives. On the Naihe Bridge, when Meng Po Tang drank, all the past life became empty. Is that person still the same person? Let me ask, people after reincarnation, even emperors and queens , if they lose the memories and emotions of their previous life, are they still considered Li Maochun and his wife?”
When Jidian heard this, his brows furrowed, and complex emotions surged in his heart.
He had to admit that Chang Wei’s words made sense, but this realization made him feel more confused and uneasy than ever before.
He was stunned and fell into deep thought.
Yes, after reincarnation, even if the status is noble, if there are no memories and emotions from the previous life, how can it be regarded as the same person?
What meaning does this blessing in the afterlife have for people who have lost the memory of their previous lives?
“But this is a blessing in the next life. This is what everyone does.”
He tried to retort, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
He felt that Chang Wei was talking about something very new. Could this be the words of the devil that lured him into being possessed?
He felt that his beliefs were being challenged like never before.
In his view, both gods and mortals should follow karma and retribution. The blessings in the next life are rewards for good deeds in this life. This is a matter of course.
However, Chang Wei’s words made him begin to wonder, is all this really that simple?
“Isn’t it right that this is what everyone does?”
Chang Wei’s rhetorical question was like a heavy hammer, hitting the weak spot in Ji Dian’s heart.
“Let me ask you, Dragon Subduing Arhat, what is your purpose in descending to earth?”
Ji Dian’s movements paused, the cattail leaf fan in his hand stopped shaking, and he fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: “The gods in the sky think that mortals live less than a hundred years and their fate has already been determined, so they ignore the suffering in the world. I don’t accept it. I think there is true love in the world, and there is no absolute destiny at all. Because of this, I was reincarnated as Li Xiuyuan, just to prove that there is love in the world and destiny can change. “
“Since you said so, why do you want Li Maochun and his wife to believe in their fate now?”
Chang Wei’s questioning was like a sharp knife, accurately piercing the fog in Ji Dian’s heart.
Ji Dian felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood stunned on the spot, and the movement of shaking the fan completely stopped.
He never imagined that he would find himself in such a contradictory situation in his pursuit of truth.
Chang Wei’s words were like a mirror, forcing him to face the paradox in his behavior.
He never thought that he would fall into such deep self-doubt at this moment.
Yes, he has been resisting fate, but inadvertently, he tried to impose his will on others and let them follow the path he set.
Isn’t this another form of “destiny”?
“Ah this…”
Ji Dian finally realized that the beliefs he had insisted on for a long time turned out to be so weak when faced with specific problems.
He began to reflect on whether he really understood the true meaning of the world and whether he had really found the key to changing his destiny.
“What do you think is the best reward for people who do good deeds? What is the best retribution for people who do evil deeds?”
Chang Wei’s voice sounded again, every word was precious, every sentence was powerful, as if every sentence contained endless philosophy.
Ji Dian was shocked when he heard it, as if he was struck by lightning.
He has always believed that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. This is the unchanging law between heaven and earth.
However, Chang Wei’s words made him begin to question this belief.
He thought hard and tried to find the answer from his own beliefs. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not give a satisfactory answer.
So, he could only look at Chang Wei helplessly, waiting for the other party’s answer.
“Of course it is retribution in this life…”
Chang Wei said.
Ji Dian was struck by lightning when he heard it, and the whole person stood there again.
He murmured and repeated the three words “retribution in this life”, as if these three words contained some unspeakable mystery, which made him fall into deeper thinking.
Retribution in this life may be more direct and more alert.
“Retribution in this life… Retribution in this life…”
Jidian chewed on these three words repeatedly, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
As a dragon-subduing arhat, he had achieved the status of arhat and firmly believed in cultivating this life and seeking the next life.
However, Chang Wei’s concept was like a clear stream, impacting his inherent cognition.
