Chapter 127 Philosophical Paradox
Cheng Mai was brought back to the base by Shang Xingjian. Smith was not at the base at the moment. Cheng Mai was a little confused, but Shang Xingjian didn't care at all. He obviously knew where Smith had gone.
Shang Xingjian put the person down and frowned, but what he said was unforgiving, "I insist on going in even if I say I won't let you in. Do you really think that you are a kind person and have no enemies?"
Cheng Mai lay on the bed and pretended to be dead. The pain in her body had dissipated a lot. Cheng Mai simply didn't want to hear Shang Xingjian scold her.
The merchant simply snorted, clearly disgusted.
Cheng Mai closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at Shang Xingjian, who was standing by the bed and staring at him, "Has Smith gone to see Si Lan?"
Shang Xingjian looked at her for a while, then lay down next to her, putting his hands under his neck and head, "If I say I want his life, I will kill him."
Shang Xingjian said it simply, but his tone didn't sound like he was joking at all.
"Are you serious?" Cheng Mai asked subconsciously.
"Do you think I'm lying?"
Cheng Mai turned sideways and looked at Shang Xingjian. Shang Xingjian still closed his eyes to rest and did not mean to say the next sentence.
Cheng Mai couldn't help but think a little more.
"Don't think so much. Si Lan should have woken up long ago. He was the one who attracted the killer whales. If Si Lan hadn't trapped the killer whales, it wouldn't take twenty years, even ten years, and you would have perished in the sea. β
So this is Smith's life, one life is worth another, it's just reincarnation.
Shang Xingjian didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter, but he still looked at Cheng Mai, "Do you think he shouldn't die?"
"No, I'm just curious, Shang Xingjian, what exactly are you going to do?" Cheng Mai asked this question more seriously than before.
She heard the killer whale's last words, and every time Merchant Jane did it for so long was puzzling. He never asked who the person behind him was, and he never took the initiative to look for the person behind him, as if finding all eleven of them was far more important than the person behind him.
Shangxing Jian relaxed his muscles and bones and said, "Looking for someone."
"What happens after you find it?" Cheng Mai asked again.
Shang Xingjian did not answer immediately this time. He seemed to be thinking about it, but he did not seem to intend to answer the question.
"Many people want to know what the void realm is like. They spend their whole lives cultivating, but they can only become immortals. Do you know what the biggest difference between gods and immortals is?"
"One is born and the other is cultivated?" Cheng Mai still knew this.
"Yes, one is born, but who has really seen someone born from the gods?" Shang Xingjian turned sideways and looked at Cheng Mai, "Because I have never seen it, I know myths, magic words, and imagination. Just think about it and itβs right because no one can prove it wrong.β
Cheng Mai listened to this tongue twister and tried to understand its meaning.
"So, are gods really born?" Shang Xingjian asked.
Cheng Pui moved his lips, not knowing how to answer this question.
Shangxing Jian lay down again and closed his eyes again, "So, don't think about those things you haven't seen. Even if I say it, if you believe it, it is true. If you don't believe it, it is false. So whether I say it or not , in fact, the answer is no different.β
"Why are you beating around the bush? Just forget it if you don't want to say it." Cheng Mai lay down with his back to him and cursed angrily. If he had time to listen to him talk about philosophy, he might as well sleep.
Shang Xingjian laughed softly and patted her shoulder gently, "Go to sleep. It's no big deal. When you wake up, you can see Si Lan."
