C156 blessing (1/2)
The simple and complicated blessings finally came to an end after several hours in a warm atmosphere. This was an ancient and exquisite ceremony, all the steps had been arranged so that not the slightest mistake could be made. As the object of blessing, Huo Wu and the other two actually lived through it in a state of trembling. Just the posture of not moving an inch for an hour was enough to make them feel comfortable, let alone maintaining a solemn and divine expression on their faces!
They gradually revealed bitter faces. Their hearts were filled with regret. If they had known this would happen, they would have never come!
Xi Yan's praises did not have the slightest expression, her cold face did not reveal any happiness or sadness, maybe after so many years, she was also numb.
Fortunately, time would pass no matter how sad they were. The four of them were liberated after Xi Yan finished her last sentence. Watching Xi Yan's back as she left, Yin Feng and the other two felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders, but...
”The first event of the blessings ceremony has been completed, and we will be sending out these three blessed youths to conduct blessings for the people of Boyu City for half a month, at that time, everyone will be able to receive our great Holy Maiden's blessings!”
Amidst the boiling crowd, Yin Feng and the other two were finally speechless.
”Are you leaving tomorrow?” That night, under the moonlight, Chang Jing asked Xi Yan who was beside him, ”Why don't you stay for a few more days? The scenery here is not bad, you should enjoy the scenery here!”
”It will probably be difficult to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the future. Tomorrow, I will have to leave for the capital to do something that I have to do as a Holy Maiden. I'm afraid I won't be able to find time to rest because of my name. ”
”Actually, being a Holy Maiden is a very proud thing? During the day, I saw how the people here behaved, and they all seemed to respect you. ”
Xi Yan looked at the moon and laughed bitterly while shaking her head, ”None of them have any respect, what they respect the most is war! Didn't you see the day clearly? They don't want to listen to me at all. ”
Chang Jing felt as though an idea came up in her mind, she didn't want to say it out loud, so she said, ”I don't know if I should say it.”
Xi Yan turned and looked at him, indicating that she should speak.
”In my personal opinion,” Chang Jing organized her thoughts, ”In your opinion, whether or not you can earn the respect of others is not the most important thing. What you want is for them to let go of their burden of vengeance and focus on creating a peaceful life. Am I right? ”
Xi Yan nodded.
”But have you ever thought that peace is always relative?” Chang Jing continued, ”A peaceful world without the support of force will eventually be shattered by war — as long as the difference between races and nations still exists in this world, peace will always be temporary.”
Xi Yan nodded her head, as if she had understood something, and indicated for him to continue.
”So I think that force is necessary for a nation! Although using violence to suppress violence was bad, it was still a good thing to endure. Maintaining a proper sense of revenge can not only help one learn from history, it can also help people improve nonstop. From what I've observed these few days, the nature of the Demons is not easy to fight … … The war that has been going on for many years has caused them to have a fear of defending themselves. Right now, everything is generated by their subconscious mind under certain circumstances. They are afraid of war, but they love it — because they are afraid, because they want to be strong, because they are strong, because they want to be strong. ”
”Do you mean that the more powerful they are, the more likely they are to go to war?”
”That's not the end of it. A rich life can lead to corruption and ease, and a poor life can lead to bravery — if you really want to be good for them, then you'd better find a point, a point of balance, where they can maintain a moderate sense of revenge and become rational. If a pacifist does not have the strength to back it up, the end result can only be annexation and annihilation. ”
”Then what do you think the balance should be?”
”This …” Chang Jing said embarrassedly, ”I haven't thought about it yet, but I was just talking about it casually. After all, I don't have a thorough understanding of your Demons s, so there are still many questions that I have yet to take into account. ”
”Your Demons?” Xi Yan asked curiously, ”Why do you say it's' your Demons', are you not from there?”
Chang Jing felt a chill run down her spine, he was very clear on the consequences of her identity as a Homo sapiens being exposed in this place. She quickly covered up, ”A slip of the tongue, it was definitely a slip of the tongue!”
