Chapter 1351 Good and Evil

This night was the most comfortable day Yuan Tianyang had after coming to Shenwu City.

This dilapidated old house is far away from the city disputes, which saves him from rushing for life and no longer has to be disturbed by those gangsters. Although life is bland and boring, Yuan Tianyang is very satisfied. He chats with the old woman every day, tastes the sweet pastry, and occasionally gets started by himself and helps the old woman with some hard work. Yuan Tianyang never thought that such a plain life would be inexplicably comfortable.

In a few days, Yuan Tianyang and the old woman became familiar with each other. Because the old woman's surname was Shang, his name for the old woman changed from the original "you" to "Grandma Shang". The old woman's name for Yuan Tianyang was changed to "Xiaoyang" under Yuan Tianyang's repeated requests.

During this period, he met the three Lin brothers who went home to visit his mother. The eldest brother Lin Hu ran errands in an inn, and the second brother Lin Jiang worked as a long-term worker in a wealthy family. The third brother Lin Luo was the most promising and was hired as a servant by a cultivation family. He was not only decent, but also had a good income.

The three Lin brothers did not achieve much, but they were always free of food and clothing. They could help their mothers and buy some daily necessities for the old house. Compared with some destitute poor people, their situation was quite good.

The old woman had no big wish, but she only hoped that future generations would be healthy, to spread the branches and leaves for the Lin family, so that the Lin family would be invincible. In this way, she could rest in peace and see her husband in a hundred years.

"Brother Yuan." Lin Hu, the eldest son of the Lin family, begged Yuan Tianyang before leaving: "My mother was too tired in her early years and she was suffering from the root of her illness and could not do her hard work. If you are free, please help me and ask you." The three brothers of the Lin family were all very filial and cared about the old woman, but they each had their own legitimate things to be busy with, so they could only take time to visit the old mother from time to time. Now Yuan Tianyang is staying here, so they naturally hope that Yuan Tianyang can help take care of one or two.

Yuan Tianyang nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will."

When he was at his most down and out, the old lady took him in, not only staying with him, but also asking about his well-being. He had already regarded the old woman as his relative in his heart. How could he ignore his relatives when he was suffering?

"That's so thank you!" Lin Hu held Yuan Tianyang's hand, very grateful.

Lin Jiang and Lin Luo also thanked each other.

Yuan Tianyang wanted to take his hand, but he still didn't do it in the end. He could feel the kindness of the three brothers of the Lin family. They were raised by an old woman and were as kind as the old woman. They were not good at speaking, but they were very down-to-earth. Due to their gratitude and respect for the old woman, Yuan Tianyang was also kind to them and did not regard them as ants.

The three Lin brothers left, and Yuan Tianyang was taking care of his old mother, so they were quite relieved.

Since that day, Yuan Tianyang has been in the house almost all day and chatted with the old lady. He did not shy away from the old lady at all, and told his experiences in the outside world. He even talked about what he agreed with Wu Kun, saying that when the period expired, he could lift the seal of his cultivation, and he would repay the old lady's kindness and give the three brothers of the Lin family a great fortune.

The old lady just listened to the story and didn't take it seriously. She didn't care about Yuan Tianyang's repaid. She just smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait." This slightly perfunctory answer shows that she did not believe what Yuan Tianyang said, but only thought that the child was deliberately making up some master stories to make herself happy.

As for the Cangkong Academy mentioned by Yuan Tianyang, the old lady did not take it seriously.

However, when Yuan Tianyang talked about some of the evil things he had done, the old lady cared about them.

"Old man doesn't know what evil karma is, but Old man believes that as long as you have the heart, you will definitely wash it." The old lady comforted: "Old man can see that you are still kind in your heart. Maybe you have gone astray because of some special experience, but Old man believes that you will be back on the right path sooner or later."

She was like treating her own children, working tirelessly.

After hearing the old lady's words, Yuan Tianyang fell silent.

"Do you really think I'm kind in my heart?" Yuan Tianyang was stunned for a long time before asking.

No one will think that he is a bad person. Even those executioners who kill countless people will not think that he is a bad person. They will think that he has a reason for doing this, or is forced, or is helpless in life, or is forced by the situation. Yuan Tianyang does not think that he is a good person, but he advocates himself with a relatively positive image in his heart. If people are divided into decent and villains, then in his opinion, he must belong to the decent side, even if he has done something that is not so decent.

The old lady said kindly: "Human nature is good. A newborn baby must be pure and flawless in his heart. He yearns for light and hates darkness. It is only because of different experiences that he is infected with different habits and becomes different people. The old man believes that everyone in this world has a kind heart, but some people have their kindness covered up, so they do something wrong."

She always believed in the beauty of human nature, and she still believed so even if she had encountered injustice and suffering.

There has always been controversy between human nature being good and human nature being evil, and no one can convince anyone.

People who hold the theory of human nature are good believe that people are born kind, believe that as long as they are guided, cultivate virtue, be lenient to others, and discipline themselves strictly, and believe that everyone should be like this, and there will be no disputes in the world. People who hold the theory of human nature are evil believe that people have seven emotions and six desires, and must be restricted by strict laws to stop disputes, otherwise, disputes will never stop.

Just like the Confucianism and Legalists in China, Confucianism takes human nature as its own good, develops its own system and leads to rule of man, while Legalists use human nature as its own evil, and has another set of theories, thus leading to the rule of law. The dispute between Confucianism and Legalists is not about the struggle between power and power struggle, but about the collision of two different ideas.

In this world where strength is respected, most people prefer to believe that human nature is good, or in other words, they are more willing to accept the theory that human nature is good, because their destiny is not controlled by themselves, and powerful practitioners can be above the law. They can only hope that human nature is good, so that no one will oppress them anymore, and no one will bully them anymore...

Compared with the evil nature of human nature and good nature of human nature, at least it gives them hope to survive.

Contrary to the old lady, Yuan Tianyang believed that human nature is evil. He believed that there was a devil in everyone's heart. Once the devil was released, even the kindest person would do unimaginable evil things. He believed that those hypocritical people would be so false and false because of their lack of strength or the constraints of certain special conditions. More people would expose their nature after having the power or power that can satisfy their desires.

Yuan Tianyang has always been a staunch supporter of the evil nature of human nature, but now he is a little shaken.

He was not shaken by the old lady's words, but by the old lady's selfless help that did not seek reward!

It is true that the old lady is not a big shot. Even if she wants to do evil, she doesn't have the ability. But Yuan Tianyang believes that even if the old lady really has overwhelming power and the power to dominate the fate of billions of living beings, the kindness in her heart will not be erased. Her kindness seems to be innate and integrated into her bones. No matter how things change in the world, it cannot change her kindness.

In the eyes of ordinary people, she is just an ordinary old woman, but in Yuan Tianyang's eyes, she is like a saint.

"Grandma Shang is really a wise person!" Yuan Tianyang was a little impressed and sincerely praised.

He accidentally discovered that his support for the evil nature of human nature is not as firm as he imagined. In fact, at the moment he was conscious, he was already influenced by the good nature of human nature. It is precisely because of this idea that he subconsciously gave himself a more positive evaluation.

The idea that human nature is inherently good has long penetrated into every time, space, every world, every land, and every creature without realizing it.

The old woman was amused and crying: "Don't joke about the old body. The old body is just an ignorant old wood. She doesn't even know a few words. How can she have any great wisdom?"

Yes, she is illiterate, has never heard of lectures, and has not received a good education, but her life experience contains knowledge. As the saying goes, "Learn knowledge in the world is knowledge, and understanding human feelings is article." Of course, she has not reached the point of understanding human things, and it is not considered to be knowledgeable in the world. But her life is the process of doing knowledge. When she is about to reach the end of her life, she will naturally understand some life philosophy.

"Okay, Xiaoyang, you should take a break early. I'm tired after I heard that I've been nagging for so long?" the old woman said understandingly.

Although Yuan Tianyang sealed his cultivation, he was not really like a mortal. Even if he never slept, there would be no impact. The reason why he came to stay was not to really find a place to live, but to stay away from the right and wrong in the city and spend a month smoothly.

He smiled and said, "I'm not tired, but you should take a break early."

"You kid, you have helped me do my whole day's work, and I still say I'm not tired?" The old woman didn't believe it at all and urged: "Hurry up, go wash up and take a break early."

Yuan Tianyang had no choice but to refute, so he had to nod his head obediently and said, "Okay, you can rest early too."

After a while, he saw the old woman entering the room next to her and turned off the oil lamp. Yuan Tianyang gently walked out of the door, sat in front of the door, leaning against the door bolt, looking down at the sky, and murmured softly: "It's been seven days..."

In another twenty days, he can lift the seal of his own cultivation and complete the agreement with Wu Kun.

He turned his head gently and looked at the house where Grandma Shang lived. A warm smile appeared on his face: "I said that I will repay you and give you three children a great fortune... Believe me, you will be satisfied!" He suddenly looked forward to the arrival of a month. He hoped Grandma Shang could see that the words he said were true, without a single false statement.
