Monster Hunting High School

The ‘ascension’ that has lasted for several years is coming to an end.

The husband will truly emerge from his cocoon and go to a broader place.

This was originally a happy thing, but Zheng Qing couldn't be happy. Because it means that Mr. is really leaving. And there is a high probability that it will be the kind of departure that will never come back.

In a sense, this departure is no different from death.

It’s just that when everyone mentions Him in the future, they will say, oh, that is the first existence in the wizarding world that transcends the ancients - just like future generations remember their ancestors, relishing His anecdotes and lamenting His greatness , turning the meaning of His existence into mere words, gradually dissipating into the vitality of the human world.

"You should learn to hide your thoughts."

The gentleman looked at the young wizard with a subtle expression, stretched out his finger, and nodded his head: "For wizards, death is not losing life, but walking out of time. Besides, I just left, not really dead." Furthermore, you have died once, don’t you know that death is not that scary? Just like some of the views on black magic we just talked about, in those early days, people were not actually afraid of death and love. , courage and other concepts, born in the early human consciousness, are all equally new and full of unknowns.

We treat the concept of ‘death’ with the same enthusiasm and curiosity as lighting the first torch or writing the first rune. Those stories in classical heroism that value loyalty over life and death are the pinnacle of this passion.

But gradually, as people know more and more, their desires become bigger and more complicated, and they become increasingly unable to face such innocent concepts. The same is true for love, and the same is true for death. As the saying goes, the more you know, the more you fear the world... Death has also changed from a romantic and mysterious thing to one of the most terrifying concepts in the world. "

"Is there anything in this world that can truly defeat death?"

Zheng Qing thought of the husband who was about to leave, and sighed with emotion: "——Originally, I thought that legend could defeat death, but now it seems that nothing is immortal."

"You are indeed still afraid of death."

The gentleman raised his eyebrows, his expression a little lively: "This is normal. After understanding and realizing that the ending of the concept of 'death' is nothingness, you will have a fear of death. That is, people are afraid of death, so people will When you are alive, you strive to pursue the meaning of life...money, love, ideals, beliefs, etc., when these meanings are accumulated to a certain extent, they can become legends, which is the existence that can defeat death in the eyes of most people."

"Can money also defeat death? I remember a saying that money can only buy the death of others..."

"Money is the sum of human desires. The reason why legend can defeat death is because there is a concept in this world that is more fragrant than death, and that is human desire. All human pursuits are the embodiment of desire."

Having said this, the teacher paused for a moment, and then recited softly: "——Life is what I want, and what I want is more than life, so I don't want to get it; death is what I hate, and what I want is worse than life. The dead are suffering from something that cannot be overcome. If people want nothing more than life, why not use it if they can live? Human desires are only love and hatred, so love and hatred can overcome the desire for death. Fear - put it another way, if there was no death, there would be no need for these emotions of love and hate.”

"It sounds a bit hollow." Zheng Qing said his feelings honestly.

The gentleman thought for a moment.

"Well, there is a very ready example."

He stretched out his hand and the scene over Phuket Island appeared again in the void. It was still red and black with wisps of silver starlight, but this time, the picture zoomed in quickly and quickly focused on 'Yuanshi': "Since Love and hate have the power to defeat death, and naturally they also have the power to defeat the erosion of demon blood - in other words, any kind of strong and pure desire has powerful and pure magic power, which can resist all indescribable horrors. Monteria's improved flesh and blood transplantation technology uses this kind of extreme emotion as a 'big medicine' to curb the erosion of demonic flesh and blood. Most of the experimental subjects he selected also have this kind of emotion..."

Zheng Qing subconsciously touched the palm of his hand. A crow's spiritual seed was once 'eaten' there.

"But I..." He felt that he was not the kind of person with extreme emotions.

The teacher glanced at him: "——You are different... the forbidden spell is a convergence of the world and can accommodate all elements in the world. In other words, when everything about you is closely connected with this spell, death This concept no longer accommodates you.”

This was one of the few good news Zheng Qing heard tonight.

But before the joy appeared on his face, the husband seemed to regret what he had just said, and immediately made up for it: "Death can't accommodate you, but it doesn't mean you won't die... You can't make self-destruction a habit either."

"That time was just an accident." Zheng Qing defended very obediently. After saying this, he inexplicably remembered what his husband said on Christmas last year and couldn't help but laugh.

"This is not funny." The gentleman looked at him seriously: "Do you remember what I told you about the risk of 'dam failure'?"

Zheng Qing nodded honestly: "The result of the dam failure is that this world can no longer accommodate my body and spirit. I will be exiled to the deepest part of the starry sky forever like those outer gods."

"I thought this level of warning was enough, but it seems you didn't take it completely to heart."

The teacher shook his head: "When your 'self' concept is still very fragile, every time you die, your 'self' will weaken to a certain extent. Everyone's self needs a certain amount of time to accumulate before it can slowly grow. But as I told you last time, your soul will expand after the explosion - this is because part of the concept of the forbidden curse will penetrate deeper into your soul as the 'self' is repaired."

"Doesn't that sound too bad?" Zheng Qing scratched his head.

"It's certainly not bad for a forbidden spell."

The gentleman glanced at him: "But it's not good news for you. To put it in the simplest terms, after every explosion, your soul will be closer to the concept of 'world'... Well, the old-school wizard prefers Use the word "Hua Dao". In the end, after you have completely lost your "self", you are the "world" and the "world" is you.

The heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all things like a weak dog; the saints are unkind and regard the heaven and the earth as a weak dog. A cold and devoid of "self" saint is not what I expect from you. I originally thought that after you came into contact with the giant god soldiers, you would have some kind of awe of this word, but apparently..."

He shook his head, paused, and finally added: "Magic is an art of balance. It is not a good thing for a wizard to be afraid of death; but it is not a good thing to be too fearless. If your fear of death disappears completely, you will lose This part of human nature. But human nature is constant in the concept of occultism. This means that the part of human nature you lose will be transformed into other desires - to use what someone said at a certain moment, "in the world without death." In infinite life, human desires are infinite, and entanglements will become infinite; and when immortality becomes a possibility, the pursuit of immortality will also become infinite, and entanglements and conflicts will also become infinite.' ——The gift of death is that you will no longer feel pain, trouble and hesitation.”

Zheng Qing did not remember most of what he said.

But I really understood the last sentence.

To round things off, the husband chose to leave, probably to get rid of those nameless troubles.

ps, there are still a few words left to reach the next charging node, but I am determined not to be stupid! I feel like I am writing a philosophy paper...Gan!
