C13 Meditation

After walking for a long time, the sky finally turned dark.

That night, Lin Xue leaned against Qi Tianyun and slept soundly under a tree. The young girl was lying on his side on a branch while Xiang Soong stood under the night sky looking at the stars in the distance.

What happened today was truly strange. The self-proclaimed righteous person had become a first-rate scoundrel, while the evil outsider who was crowned as the "Demon Woman" had become a righteous person who had acted bravely in the pursuit of justice.

Sigh, forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's investigate the source of this.

This was a habit that he had developed when he was seventeen. Whenever something was unclear, he would no longer care about what was going on or out. Instead, he would calm his heart and slowly ponder over what the origin of this matter should be.

If time were to be turned back, what would have been the first time it happened, what would have been the meaning of its existence then, what would have been the result, what would have been the end result, or what would be left after stripping off its many coats.

But this time it was not as simple as was once thought, for this time it was a question that troubled all wise men from time immemorial, and though there were many ready answers to refer to, there was never an answer that gave all of them a satisfactory and convincing answer.

What is righteousness and what is evil?

Was righteousness and evil really as clear as the eyes of the world and the words that came out of their mouths?

Or was it merely the forerunner, in order to distinguish between these two diametrically opposite acts of man, who had deliberately created a pair of words which, in addition to their meaning, had been added by generations of men, thus causing the problem to become more and more complex, more and more difficult to unravel?

Of course, most people would only think of the first two questions, but as for the latter question, because it was too absurd, they would not ask it. Of course, most people would only think of the first two questions, but as for the latter question, because it was too absurd, they would not ask it.

It was Xiang Soong's first time to think of such a profound question, and he couldn't figure it out at the moment. The more he thought about it, the less things he could think of.

He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. The quiet night seemed to be doing everything in his power to help him, driving away the sounds of the birds and insects.

Xiang Soong sat with his arms crossed as he meditated for a long time. His mind gradually became blank. There was nothing in it. He couldn't feel where he was nor did he know how much time had passed.

In the midst of the haziness, one could faintly hear Qi Tianyun's voice: "Hey, Elder Brother Xiang still hasn't slept?"

Xiang Soong's heart skipped a beat and he opened his eyes. The first glimmer of dawn had already arrived.

Qi Tianyun gently leaned Lin Xue on a tree and walked over to greet him. "Good morning, Elder Brother Xiang! "Why are you standing here all night? Can't you sleep?"

Xiang Soong nodded and said, "I think about it sometimes at night. I need to calm my heart to think about something that I can't understand."

Qi Tianyun suddenly said, "So that's how it is. I wonder if Elder Brother Xiang has thought it through?"

Xiang Soong shook his head again: "No, this question is too hard to answer. I would like to ask Elder Brother Qi, maybe Elder Brother Qi knows more than me."

Qi Tianyun was a little surprised and asked, "I wonder what Elder Brother Xiang is thinking?"

Xiang Soong gazed at the east as the first rays of dawn appeared and slowly said, "What does Elder Brother Qi think about the difference between right and wrong and evil?"

Qi Tianyun was silent. This question was too big.

After a long while, he replied, "Warriors use weapons for their own national interests and go to another country to wage war. Even if the citizens know that many people will die like this, they will still say that it is just. If they win and use these weapons to oppress their citizens, the citizens will definitely say that it is evil."

Xiang Soong's eyes lit up. Why didn't he think of that?

Qi Tianyun continued, "In fact, the first meaning of these two actions should be to defend and plunder. These two actions are the foundation of any nation, but defending will allow one's own people to survive for a longer time, while being plundered by other people may cause one to fall into a situation of extinction. Because this is a matter of life and death, no matter which race it is, they will definitely come up with these two words and pass down their nation's thoughts of righteousness, evil and good, generation after generation to ensure that their people will have a longer incense."

Xiang Soong sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Elder Brother Qi's opinion is indeed thought-provoking!"

Qi Tianyun said without a care, "As long as you stay in the forest for a long time, you will know that all the creatures there are based on these two methods, turning other creatures into your own food or food for creatures stronger than you."

"So," he concluded, "what is true is true is true, and what is true is true is true, and what is true is true is true, but what is true is true.

"Unreliable?" Xiang Soong was puzzled, "How can it be unreliable? Isn't it like that?"

Qi Tianyun said with certainty, "There are indeed times when they are unreliable. Think about it, if their ancestors were to maintain the right path, then their descendants, as long as they continue to live in the world that their ancestors created, as long as they do not want to leave it, then regardless of whether they are qualified or not, they will definitely consider themselves to be a part of the right path. They think that whatever they do is to uphold justice, the people they want to kill must be the wrong people, and the people who kill them must be the wrong people.

Xiang Soong took a deep breath. He knew it wasn't impossible.

Qi Tianyun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't think about such nonsense. Let's go prepare breakfast." After saying that, regardless of whether Xiang Soong agreed or not, he pulled him along and left.

After a while, the two of them came back with wild fruits wrapped around their sleeves.

Lin Xue stretched her back before getting up, while the young girl stood still at the end of the branch, as if she was thinking about something.

Qi Tianyun grabbed a handful of wild fruits and gave them to Lin Xue. Then, he yelled at the girl on the tree, "Girl, do you want to come and eat with me?" Although it was unknown whether or not he could settle down, he should at least express a little bit of goodwill.

The young girl gracefully jumped down and walked in front of him. Picking up two of the dishes, she turned around to eat without thanking him.

After a while, she walked forward and said, "Follow it yourself."

After a while, the group of four walked out of the forest. In front of them was a surging river, and the deafening sound of waves splashing against each other was mixed with the triumphant cries of the water birds as they fought against the strong gale.

However, if one looked up, there were still some larger white cranes flying freely. One of them was rather strange, although its body was also white, but its head was black, and it seemed to be a lot bigger than the other white cranes' heads. It was really unknown what kind of "strange bird" it was.
