Chapter 942: Granting You the Righteous Law (44)

"Dharma."

With his eyes slightly lowered, An Jing repeated softly, and then said in an intriguing tone: "Hai Min, I am indeed a naturalist. I know that you seek a result, an answer. You seek something called 'Dharma'."

"But, Haimin, how can I answer your doubts if you are unwilling to even ask a question?"

"question?"

The crawling sea dweller's thoughts paused. The reason why he was willing to risk his life to come here, at the cost of possibly offending the life of a naturalist, a real person, was because the sea people had countless difficulties.

They were lost and trapped, like a tangled ball of thread, unable to even find the original thread. They had no idea where to start to solve any problems. Although Jin Yanhua was the leader of them and gave them jobs, tribes, homes and responsibilities, living beings could not rely on these things to be contented with life.

So they are eager to know the answer to an unknown question, as if getting the answer can solve all their difficulties.

"Yes, question."

But the natural master, the destiny warrior who wiped out the heavenly calamity with a wave of his hand and easily caused strange phenomena in the heaven and earth, calmly asked them in return: "What exactly is the righteous law you speak of?"

"Is it the right law and rules to kill those who deserve to die and bring peace to society?"

"It is also the correct inheritance of Taoist art, just like martial arts, practicing skills through techniques, practicing the law through methods, and finally achieving the Tao through martial arts and becoming a real person?"

"Or is it the method of using good to eliminate evil, to crush demons and exterminate evil spirits? Such as various evil-removing formations and the Five Thunders Righteous Method?"

Haimin did not answer, he seemed to be still thinking and confused.

"I think you should think it over carefully before coming back to me."

After saying this, An Jing took a step forward and prepared to leave - he was not testing him, nor was he pretending. If the sea dweller in front of him could not figure out what he wanted, and did not even dare to answer, then he would really leave.

Because if they don't even have the courage to speak and ask the wrong questions, then destiny can't teach them anything.

"Go, Lord!"

But the Sea Folk spoke.

He sensed An Jing's intention to leave, and the fear of 'never meeting this person again' and 'never having the chance to solve those problems that could not be solved by their wisdom' pushed him to speak.

Not only him, many sea dwellers around him spoke up.

At one time, dozens of people with different accents and different sea dwellers were eager to tell An Jing about their confusions, the problems they encountered, and the causes and consequences that they could not understand.

——The first generation of moisture-born and egg-laying demon spirits could not guarantee that their children would be demon spirits, so they advanced to become viviparous demon spirits.

——Even after becoming demons, many demon spirits are not rational enough and are always influenced by animal instincts. Even if they practice martial arts, they will only become more violent, to the point of endangering the tribe and attracting punishment from the Dragon Court.

——The environment in the East China Sea is dangerous. There are not only ferocious sea beasts that prey on demons, but also the Blood Sea Demon Cult that plunders experimental subjects. No tribe can feel at ease.

——Their lives are worthless, not valued, and can be replaced at any time. Tribes that once achieved glory quickly became weak and disappeared because a few core demons were promoted away. Those promoted demons never returned and forgot their hometown.

——They cannot grow seaweed or raise clams properly. Even if the dragons teach them how to do it, they cannot learn it. This sheer lack of intelligence and comprehension means they have to stay in this area forever.

This kind of uneasiness, this kind of neglect, this kind of predicament where no matter how hard you try you can't change it, where you can't even rely on your own children, where you have no future or hope...where should you even begin?

The wisdom of the sea people cannot reach this level at all.

So each of them was saying it, thousands and hundreds of voices were saying it, as if they had finally met a god, praying, crying, and releasing themselves—

Release a kind of resentment that is unwilling but powerless.

An Jing listened.

He heard the voice of 'devil'.

This voice spreads throughout the universe, it is everywhere and can be heard everywhere.

An Jing knew that it was not just him. Long Ting had also heard such voices and questions in the past, but they were unable to solve them because these were the essence of [why demons are demons], the nature of their race, a natural defect, just like humans only have one set of permanent teeth, and when they fall out you can only get a filling, but there is no way to grow a new second one.

Therefore, the dragon clan chose to remain silent and let nature take its course, allowing the sea monsters that were not adaptable, unqualified, and did not meet the requirements to be worn away naturally.

In this way, the ones left are the demon spirits that meet the requirements.

Anyway, [there are so many lives, they are bound to appear], so there is no need to make them too rare.

Therefore, there is a kind of demon lurking in the order, under the Dragon Court of the Sky and Sea, and between the ten directions and the seas.

If the problem is not solved and the answer is not found, the devil will exist forever.

Then it gave birth to a catastrophe and lashed out at the world. "I have heard all your questions."

The moment An Jing opened his mouth, the sea dwellers who had been asking their questions one after another like the tides suddenly shut their mouths instinctively, and a sense of relief arose in their hearts.

——Since the questions have been asked, then the Lord of Nature must be able to answer them, right?

But An Jing's second sentence stunned all the sea dwellers for a moment. They subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the Lord whom they had not dared to look directly at before: "But why do you think I will answer you?"

His voice was like thunder, his eyes shone, the edges of his robes glowed with spiritual light, and as the words fell, they created concentric circles of ripples, "The law cannot be passed on lightly, the technique cannot be taught lightly, how can the right law and the right path be obtained so easily?"

"To tell you the truth, if you go to any martial arts sect in Beixuan Jizhou to ask about these issues and beg for the 'right way' to solve these problems, the lightest result will be a beating and throwing out."

"I don't want to answer you, I don't want to answer you, I don't bother to answer you."

"I will even wipe you out and turn you into dust because I am disgusted with your entanglement."

"You—haven't you ever thought of this possibility?"

Silence fell.

Perhaps it was because An Jing's gentler tone and approachable attitude compared to other warriors gave too many sea people hope, so when he asked sternly, most of the sea people instantly lost the courage to answer.

There was even a faint sound of crying.

On one side, You Ruhui shook his head slightly. This was not sympathy, but disappointment.

An Jing never listens to crying. The world of warriors never believes in tears. Crying is something that can be done because one is powerless. It is enough for children and people who consider themselves ordinary people to do it. A life that wants to seek change should not behave like this.

In this world, people are powerless and dare not let go, so the tears of regret that have been shed have gathered into the sea. It doesn't matter if there are a little more.

Amidst cries and tears, he was waiting.

Waiting for a stubborn occurrence.

Perhaps it was God's will, or perhaps it meant that in every group there were people who were stubborn enough to grit their teeth, hold back their fear and speak.

"I am indeed afraid."

At the beginning, the leading sea creature raised his head. The one closest to An Jing looked at An Jing. The half-human, half-arthropod face had a ferocious look, but the eyeballs in the gaps between the shells revealed a calm expression: "Lord, we are indeed afraid. We are so afraid that it has been engraved into our myelin sheath."

"Under General Jin's command, our lives are already good. Outside the Dragon Court, we, the mayfly-like sea vassals, can be replaced, killed, treated as garbage, or even... food at any time."

He laughed, opened and closed his mouthparts to imitate an adult's mouth, and blew out a few bubbles. "We are lowly, weak and numerous, and we know it ourselves. If you kill us, General Jin will at most be a little surprised why you do it yourself. You ordered us to commit suicide, so we have to obey."

"Then the next day, there will be ten times more sea dwellers than us coming to replace us. The protection of the Dragon Court and the organization of the navy are things that many sea dwellers cannot hope for."

"We are just like this, like mud and sand."

"So this is the last chance."

After saying this, the sea dweller who looked like a shrimp or a crab, but more like a "human", lowered his head and said, "The sea dweller is overflowing."

"Please Master Nature... teach us humble and ignorant people!"

"Piyi...good. You're good."

An Jing's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled: "It's good to know that you are cheap, weak, stupid and humble. That's very good."

He stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "My way is not afraid of humble origins. My way is not afraid of congenital weakness. My way does not care whether you are born with intelligence or not, or even whether your wisdom can be passed on to future generations."

"My way is that I am afraid of not knowing myself and not recognizing myself. I am clearly weak and don't strive for it, but I still find excuses saying it is because of my low talent; it is clearly a racial defect, but I insist on saying that this is a perfect body designed by nature and I don't want to change it."

"My way is to shirk responsibility, saying that it's all the fault of my bloodline, my origin, or the tribe. I don't even have the courage to transform myself a little bit and become someone else."

"If you don't even admit your mistakes, then naturally you won't be able to fix anything."

At this point, under the astonished gaze of the leading sea dwellers, An Jing raised his hand and began to inscribe characters in the air: "This is called Yuhua, which is a method of shedding the mortal body and refining the false into the true. Those who can enter are all intelligent and proficient in mathematics and refining equipment."

"You sea dwellers are ignorant by nature and have no civilization, so I will first teach you a method to refine your spirit into a sword, sharpen your spirit, and enhance your ability to calculate. Then, you can use your spirit as a sword, sharpen your spirit, and increase your wisdom. This is called the 'Sword of Wisdom'."

"After mastering this method, your mind will be clear and your spirit will be agile. Although your thinking pattern will not change, you will be able to calculate large numbers in an instant. Your mind will be calm and you will not be captured by the beast in your body. This is the first step to enter my Taoist method."

As he finished speaking, the characters in the air flashed brightly, and then were peeled off by the wind and water vapor, turning into an extremely thin but extremely tough water cloud scroll.
