In the confrontation with his disciples, Li Yao has always been at ease.

Until Jin Xinyue throws out this question, the smile on his face appears a little stiff.

Li Yaoshen took a deep breath and said, "my spiritual root was inspired by seven practitioners who stood up to protect ordinary people on the crystal track train going north to the wilderness."

"So, I will always be on the side of ordinary people."

"I will do what is best for ordinary people. If I feel that some decisions of the federal government will harm the interests of ordinary people, I will try my best to change and stop them."

Jin Xinyue's eyes became more and more clear, and her tone became more and more firm: "the master still didn't answer the disciple's question positively."

"On the side of ordinary people? So, who can be regarded as ordinary people? Even, who can be regarded as "human"

"Yes, the citizens of Xingyao Federation are, of course, the ordinary people the master wants to protect."

"I also believe that in the eyes of the master, I may be human as I am now."

"Even the chaotic blood demons, whose characteristics are not obvious, maybe the master can treat them as" ordinary people "and protect them sincerely."

"But what about the ugly, even grotesque, copper blood and black blood demons?"

"In the eyes of the master, are they really" people "? Under the most extreme circumstances, is the master really willing to break with the Xingyao Federation for such a "person"

Li Yao was stunned, really stunned.

My third disciple is very different from the first two.

Her performance, far beyond their expectations!

Looking at Jin Xinyue's shining eyes like crystal marrow, looking at the holy girl of Wanyao temple, the daughter of jintuyi, commander of Wanyao united army, all her light and look were blooming. Li Yao could no longer regard this conversation as a simple master guiding his disciples.

But, between two practitioners, equal communication!

"You asked the key. Since I discovered the truth that human beings and demons are of the same origin, I have been thinking about who is" ordinary people ", what is" human beings ", how should human beings and demons be separated, and what am I fighting for?"

Li Yao made a gesture to let Jin Xinyue sit cross knee like him.

Kneeling on both knees is the way for disciples to listen to master's instruction. Both sides sit cross legged, that is "sitting and talking".

Jin Xinyue gives a deep gift and sits down on her knees.

She knew that the next conversation belonged to the exploration of the "Avenue". Under the avenue, all practitioners were equal, even the master and apprentice.

Li Yao said: "this problem is too complicated. In order to solve the knot in my heart, I almost thought of going crazy. I had a fierce argument with another person in my mind and had a lot of absurd ideas."

Of course, Jin Xinyue doesn't know that Lee Yao's so-called "another self in his mind" is not a rhetorical device. It is true that there is "another Li Yao".

She held her breath to listen to master's understanding of "Dao".

Li Yao said: "to play a mind game, for example, you are a true practitioner who abides by the federal basic law very much. When you see a beautiful young girl who is weak and sickly in danger, you have to step forward to protect her, right?"

Jin Xinyue nodded: "yes."

Li Yao said: "but if it's not a girl, but a strong man with a fierce face, five big and three rough, crude and unbearable, is in danger? Do you want to protect it? "

Jin Xinyue hesitated for a moment: "it's better to protect it. A strong man who looks fierce and has no crime may also be a husband, father and son. He is also an ordinary man. If he meets the danger that can't be solved, he will be protected by a real practitioner."

Li Yao said: "if this strong man has ever suffered from a serious disease, and 99% of his organs have failed, he will have to replace them with a" spiritual body "composed of metal, gears and magic weapons. Is it just the brain or the original brain?"

Jin Xinyue pondered for a moment: "if you change into an ordinary person, you are still an ordinary person."

"What if you don't even have a brain? He's dead, leaving only the ghost and turning into a ghost. "

Jin Xinyue frowned and said, "the laws of Xingyao Federation recognize the human rights of ghost cultivation. That is to treat ghosts as ordinary people. Theoretically speaking, they should be protected."

Li Yao said: "well, suppose that when the strong man is suffering from a serious illness and is about to die, the only thing that can save him is not a" spiritual weapon "but a bottle of" Kunlun magic water "

"When he took Kunlun magic water, his cells mutated and he became a ferocious demon with sharp fangs. Is he still an ordinary man? Is it still under the protection of the practitioners? "

The moon in the golden heart says nothing.

This question is too complicated. She really doesn't know the answer. She can only think deeply and shake her head at the same time. Instead of negating, she means that she doesn't know.

Li Yao said: "OK, let's change the question. Let's assume that this bottle of Kunlun Shenshui has been specially prepared and has very few side effects. After taking it, it only makes the cells deeply mutate, but its appearance is not very different from that of normal people. Only the canine teeth are a little longer than ordinary people by a millimeter."

"Well, is this strong man who came back from the dead a human or a demon?"

"A millimeter?"

Jin Xinyue drew a picture. Her canine teeth are one millimeter longer than the average person. She can't see it at all. Of course, it's an ordinary person!

She nodded without hesitation.

Li Yao: "how about two millimeters?"

Jin Xinyue nods.

"Three millimetres?"

Nod.

"Four millimeters? What about five millimetres? "

Nod, nod.

"Ten millimetres, or one centimeter?"

One centimeter longer than normal? Is that obvious? Jin Xinyue hesitated and nodded reluctantly.

Li Yao crossed his fingers and held them on his chin: "what if it's 30 centimeters? Like a saber toothed tiger, it has long and sharp tusks. Is that a "human" or a "demon"

Jin Xinyue thought about it for a moment. Is it true that the only feature of many chaotic blood demons is their tusks? If they are the tusks like Saber Toothed tigers, it seems that they are hardly human in the general sense

Li Yao said: "therefore, there must be a critical point between the canine teeth length of one centimeter and thirty centimeters to judge whether this strong man is a human or a demon, right?"

"Suppose that the critical point is fifteen centimeters."

"If this strong man is lucky enough to take Kunlun magic water, his canine teeth will grow to 14.99 cm, then he is a human being. In theory, practitioners should protect him."

"However, if he drinks more Kunlun magic water and his canine teeth grow to 15.01 cm, then he is a demon. In theory, the practitioner should" kill the demon and the demon "and kill him."

"If he's cruel and finds a dentist to pull out his tusks, it's time for the practitioners to protect him, right?"

Jin Xinyue felt that her canine teeth were sore.

According to the theory just now, it seems to be so.

But once it's spread out, I always feel that something is wrong!

How to define the concept of "human"?

Jin Xinyue is completely confused.

Li Yao sighed and said, "it's ridiculous, isn't it? But that's how many people see things, including myself. "

"You are right, although I have always told myself in my heart that the demon clan comes from the Terran, and all demon clans are another form of Terran."

"But if it's a part of the blood demon clan and the silver blood demon clan, it's just adding a tail, a pair of cat ears, or a pair of wings to the human form - it seems that it's not a big problem for me to accept that such demon clan is of the same kind."

"But those ferocious creatures that have completely lost human form are like insects magnified tens of thousands of times. I really... Find it hard to accept them!"

"I know this concept of" judging people by their appearance "is wrong, but no matter how to overcome it, it can not be reversed in a short time."

"So, you have to ask me, what is a person? I really don't have the qualification to define it."

"I just want to tell you a story, a story about Guixiu fighting for human rights in Xingyao Federation more than 100 years ago."

Jin Xinyue listens very carefully and refuses to interrupt.

Li Yaodao said: "more than 100 years ago, with the development of technologies such as" soul lock-in "and" spirit, instrument and body ", there were more and more ghost cultivation in Xingyao Federation. There was a heated debate in the society about what kind of rights ghost cultivation should enjoy and whether it should be regarded as a" person. "

"Some people support the human rights of Guixiu. After all, they retain the memory and will of their life, except that they have no entity, which is the same as before."

"However, some people think that ghosts are ghosts. People and ghosts have different ways. It's good to allow them to live in broad daylight. What human rights can they talk about? Treating ghosts as adults will only lead to the collapse of traditional ethics and social order, which is absolutely not feasible. "

"Under the instigation of the latter trend of thought, all kinds of" living people first "organizations appeared one after another, discriminating against Guixiu very seriously, and even persecuting Guixiu."

"In some places, there are people with bad intentions who control ghost cultivation and manipulate them to commit crimes. After all, ghost cultivation has no entity. It is more convenient for ghost cultivation to do many shameful activities than for living people. This kind of thing of" defending ghosts and harming people "has existed since ancient times. It is not surprising."

"In this case, there is a typical case. A 12-year-old girl, who has a ghost after her death, was obtained by a criminal group. The evil cultivation of the criminal group made her into a ghost cultivation and asked her to use the ghost's ability to commit a crime."

"The little girl tried her best to escape several times, but she was so angry with these evil practitioners that she was beaten out of her wits."

"After this incident was exposed, of course, those evil practitioners were arrested."

"However, in the court, their defense lawyers were very eloquent in the face of irrefutable evidence - that is, his client admitted that he beat the little girl to death, but he could not have died twice. The little girl died long ago and died normally, not by his client, so technically, His client didn't "kill" the little girl, so we can't talk about murder! "

"It's against the law to kill people, but what about killing ghosts? Xingyao Federation is about law. Is it illegal to kill ghosts? "

"Originally, it was just a simple criminal case, but in the fierce collision of the two trends of thought, it finally came to the Federal Supreme Court and became a heated debate on the definition of" ghost "and" person "!"

"After all, is a wisp of spirit hidden in the body of spiritual instruments human? Is killing a ghost with independent will and free thinking a crime of "murder"
