"Mr. Jingye doesn't seem like such a pedantic person," Fang Yun said calmly. His tone was a little strange.
Meng Jingye explained, "The Meng family has inherited Meng Ancestor's Path of Righteousness. If we are in danger, we will sacrifice our lives for justice. However, we can only sacrifice our own lives and not the lives of others. Otherwise, we will go against the Path of Righteousness and the teachings of our ancestors. If possible, the Old Man is willing to exchange his life for the life of that person. I will kill myself in front of the Demon Saint to save the rest of the hundred people. "
The scholars nodded slightly. Everyone looked at Meng Jingye with respect. As a great scholar, Meng Jingye would never dare to lie about the Path of Righteousness. If he really encountered such a situation, he would really sacrifice his life for the sake of the hundred people.
The five star demon barbarians had different expressions. Some were confused as if they couldn't understand this person's suicide. Some were full of doubts as they didn't believe that someone would sacrifice himself for others. Even if the star demon barbarians loved peace more than the blood demon barbarians and could listen to orders to die, they wouldn't send themselves to death.
Yan Ningxiao said, "We live in the Ten Cold Ancient Land, a place that causes 99% of the creatures to go extinct every few hundred years. We bear the mission of the human race and the heavy responsibility of the human race's expansion and survival. We can die at any time. I believe that even if I kill that person, he won't blame me, and the Notre-Dame won't punish me."
"He can die, but you can't kill an innocent person! If I kill him, he might not blame me, but I will blame myself! "Meng Jingye said.
"That's not right. As long as he is willing to sacrifice himself for the hundred people, the Old Man will fulfill his wish by killing him, "Yan Ningxiao said.
Fang Yun suddenly said, "I'll interrupt you. That person is sleeping and doesn't know anything about the outside world. This has nothing to do with him. It's about what we should do. Brother Pingyang, you seem to have something to say? "
Xun Pingyang nodded and said, "Let's not talk about other things. Let's talk about myself. I support Great Scholar Jingye, but my reason is different from his. I think that those who violate the Path of Righteousness can be killed. Those who violate the Path of Righteousness can also be killed. However, since he is innocent, no matter what others do, I won't kill him. The reason for this is because no matter how noble a reason we use to kill an innocent person, it is still a crime. Once we allow the killing of innocent people for any reason, once this loophole is opened, the order of the human race will cease to exist, and the superiors will be able to create all kinds of excuses to kill innocent people. A person can sacrifice himself to save a hundred people, but the hundred of us will never have the right or reason to kill innocent people to save ourselves! "
Zeng Yue sighed softly and said, "When I was young, I read history books. Every time I saw evil done in the name of justice, my heart would fluctuate and I would be incomparably angry. Now, it's my turn. I'm old and I don't have the hot-bloodedness of a young man anymore. What will I do? I will definitely find an excuse. As long as I can find that person's crime, I will have an excuse to kill him. Then, I will become the hero who saves the other 99 people. Because I am stained with the blood of evil, I am not afraid of any accusations. Unfortunately, that person was innocent and was in a deep sleep. I couldn't find any excuse, so I could only stay where I was and stare at the knife. I can have countless despicable thoughts, dirty thoughts, and evil thoughts in my heart, but I won't say them, and I won't do them. This is the difference between a human and an animal. "
Several barbarian demons immediately widened their eyes and looked at Zeng Yue with dissatisfaction. In the language of barbarian demons, "animal" or "animal" was only a lower class of barbarian demons. It was essentially different from the "animal" used by the human race.
Yan Ningxiao's face seemed to have an additional layer of undetectable shadow. He coldly snorted and said, "Killing people is not only to save oneself, but also not to save 99 people. Among us, there are great scholars, great scholars, and even the dignified Xusheng! Let me ask you, if killing him can save the entire human race, will you kill him or not? "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Ningxiao, you are digressing. In addition, none of us know who that person is. We don't even know if that person will be canonized as a saint in the future, or if that person is the dying Half-saint. We don't know. As I said, he is just an innocent person. We can only judge our own value, but we can't judge the role of that person. "
Xun Pingyang said, "Mr. Yan's words are too dignified. The essence of this matter is not saving people or sacrificing people, but whether or not we should sacrifice innocent people! A few years ago, in order to stop the barbarian demons, a general of Wu Guo imitated Han Xin's method of stopping the barbarian army. He stopped the barbarian army and saved 100,000 soldiers. But because of this, he flooded 13 towns, causing thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of homeless people. The general argued that he saved half of Wu Guo's territory, but in the end, Wu Guo and Notre-Dame believed that the reason for his failure was his poor command and incompetence in battle, not to save the human race. Therefore, he was exiled to the ancient land. Are you trying to reverse the case for this person? "
Yan Ningxiao said, "How can you confuse these two things? On the surface, that person said that he did it for Wu Guo, but as you said, it was his incompetence and cowardice that led to the collapse of the army. We were caught by the demon saint, so it was not our fault! In this matter, Old Man has no selfish motives! "
Xun Pingyang refuted, "If you have no selfish motives, then you have a public interest? But unfortunately, whether it is the Notre-Dame or the other countries, there is no law that allows us to kill innocent people. Instead, there is a law that punishes the murderer! Everything you've said and done is out of selfishness! The real public interest is to protect everyone. Even if that person is an ordinary person, we don't have the privilege of sacrificing him to survive! "
"That may be the case, but are you going to watch Fang Xu Sheng die without doing anything? Once we die, the Blood Demon Barbarians and the Ice Race will definitely join hands to surround the Ninth Cold City and slaughter the human race there! For an insignificant person, is it worth it? "Yan Ningxiao said.
Xun Pingyang said, "You digress, we are only talking about one hundred people and one person, it has nothing to do with other places."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Mr. Pingyang is right, this matter has nothing to do with the current situation of the Ten Cold Ancient Land. Mr. Ningxiao's statement is unreasonable."
Yan Ningxiao snorted and said, "Killing one person to save a hundred people, Old Man will never hesitate, that is all! Xun Pingyang and the others, you talk about righteousness and morality, but in fact, it is completely out of selfishness. Some do it for their own Saint Path, some do it because of their temperament, and some do it because of their beliefs. To put it bluntly, you are no different from me. "
Zeng Yue sighed and said, "I said before that I will find an excuse to kill him, but I can't find an excuse to kill him, so I can only not kill him. I am indeed doing it out of selfishness. I even thought that if one of us kills that person, I will enjoy life with a clear conscience. After all, I didn't kill him, so I don't have to bear any guilt. However, if we don't kill him, the Demon Saint will die without any complaints. To be able to die with all these sensible heroes is something worth celebrating, and it won't be an unjust death. After all, our deaths are not meaningless, at least we can save an innocent person from being killed. "
Many scholars nodded slightly. They were wavering before, but after hearing Zeng Yue's words, they agreed with him.
Yan Ningxiao was silent.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng Yue's principle can be explained in one word, 'don't do evil'."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Zeng Yue said, "Fang Xusheng's words are really brilliant! As a person, at least stick to the bottom line of 'don't do evil'. "
