As for Ma Xianhong..,
It was actually very difficult for Liu Xiaojiang to have any disgust, even though the other party had refuted his views several times.
Because he knew very well that Ma Xianhong did not have any other purpose, nor did he always "point out the world" to refute him. Instead, it was because the other party was such a pure idealist that sometimes his thoughts did not even consider the reality of the situation.
Moreover, in addition to being an idealist, Ma Xianhong's character also knew how to respect the wishes of others. He would only take the initiative to express his own thoughts when he thought that he was right, but he would not want to impose his own ideas on others.
And this..
Was also the main reason why Ma Xianhong had so many followers when he was in the Green Touring Village. It was because he could be considered an extremely rare 'good person'.
After all, by Ma Xianhong's side, following this very capable and honest person, no one needed to consider whether they would be cheated. They only needed to think about what they wanted from him.
Usually, you don't need to do anything. As long as you are a comrade by his side, you can receive protection, magical artifacts, and other favors from him. Compared to such an easy way of life in the outside world... who wouldn't want it?
Unfortunately..,
In the end, Ma Xianhong was unable to respond to the expectations of those people. Not only did he not live honestly in the world, but because of his simplicity and naivety, he was easily led to extreme thoughts by Qu Tong. He did not consider realistic factors at all and began to study the self-cultivation furnace.
Once..,
Ma Xianhong had personally said that he was building the self-cultivation furnace, mostly to retrieve his lost memories..,
But now..,
As his understanding of Ma Xianhong gradually deepened..,
Liu Xiaojiang obviously did not believe that Ma Xianhong, who was not completely controlled back then and only had his memories erased and affected by his hands, would start to build the self-cultivation furnace because he wanted to retrieve his lost memories.
Ma Xianhong might be honest, but he wasn't stupid. The unspoken rules of the population red line were something that almost any attentive Inhuman would be able to detect. Furthermore, even if he was so arrogant that he didn't want to think about it, how could those Inhumans around him not remind him?
This person knew from the beginning that the cultivation furnace would not be accepted by the company and the other 'secular' people. The reason why he was so stubborn in the matter of forging the cultivation furnace was probably related to the establishment of the so-called 'New Jie'.
Ma Xianhong probably hoped to use the Cultivation Furnace to make the originally small number of Inhumans gradually become the majority. He also wanted to use this method to ease the conflict between Inhumans and ordinary people.
After all, if there were only Mutants on this land, where did the long-standing conflicts between Humans and Mutants … start from?
However,
Even though Ma Xianhong's original intention was great, he was still too naive and idealistic. This method that seemed to be able to resolve the conflict without any losses on both sides would instead … prolong the 'pain' infinitely.
In addition,
It was human nature to be selfish.
Those who were transformed into Inhumans through the Cultivation Furnace could not cultivate like Inhumans at all. The level after the successful transformation often depended on the holder of the furnace.
If there were only Inhumans in the future of this world, then would these ordinary people who were transformed into Inhumans by the Cultivation Furnace, these Inhumans whose abilities were completely restricted from the beginning, become the lowest existence in the new era?
Would those Inhumans who were born as Inhumans and had the talent to cultivate see those ordinary people transformed by the Cultivation Furnace … as inferior people?
A society where everyone was a Inhuman might be able to solve the long-standing conflicts between Humans and Inhumans, but if one wanted to achieve this goal through the Cultivation Furnace … it would not be possible!
After Liu Xiaojiang obtained the memories of Qu Tong and Gu Changting, there was no doubt that he now knew more about the Cultivation Furnace than Ma Xianhong, who had the ability to forge.
He knew very well that even the perfect self-cultivation furnace could not completely transform an ordinary person into an Inhuman. Even with the other Eight Wonder Techniques that were equally important, as well as all sorts of harsh conditions and a 'complete human life', it would still be difficult to create another Baby Feng.
Moreover, even if one waited for many years and met all kinds of harsh conditions, if one wanted to perfectly transform an ordinary person into an Inhuman, or even an immortal existence like Feng Bao Bao, who … would be willing to use their own life to help others?
The Cultivation Furnace.
To put it bluntly, it was a kind of thing used to change the fate of others, and a person's fate … was also extremely difficult to change because of external factors.
How could this kind of thing be used to transform all ordinary people? How could it solve the conflicts and problems between ordinary people and Inhumans?
Its existence was no different from the eight skills that were used as a chaotic technique!
They were both the root cause of chaos!
Ma Xianhong once hoped to use the Cultivation Furnace to solve the problem. In his eyes, perhaps it was the right thing to do. However, considering that he didn't know too much about the inside story, perhaps it couldn't be said that he was purely indulging in fantasy.
Liu Xiaojiang knew more than Ma Xianhong, and his perspective on the problem was also completely different.
It was completely normal for the two to have a disagreement without the knowledge of one of them.
Who asked Ma Xianhong to be a rare honest person?
However, at this time, if Liu Xiaojiang really wanted to explain the reason and use it to convince the so-called 'kindness' in Ma Xianhong's mind … he felt that at least for now, he couldn't do it.
He didn't want to let a rare idealist like Ma Xianhong feel that the ideals in his heart were all bullsh * t in reality. In the end, this rare 'great philanthropist' would also be changed by the current f * cking reality.
In other words …
Although Ma Xianhong's experience after meeting Qu Tong was very pitiful, and he was even kept in the dark for a long time, Liu Xiaojiang respected his courage to want to change reality with his own hands from the beginning.
Even though …
His thoughts were indeed too naive.
…
"Fun …" As expected, Ma Xianhong was directly angered by Liu Xiaojiang's words. "Is this how you view the deaths of all the members outside?"
"Don't tell me that the deaths of hundreds and thousands of people outside are just a joke to you?!"
As soon as these words came out …
The other people present looked over. Except for Liu Yanyan, who was sitting next to Er Zhuang, almost everyone frowned slightly at Ma Xianhong.
They didn't understand why Liu Xiaojiang would repeatedly tolerate Ma Xianhong. If it weren't for the fact that Ma Xianhong had indeed provided a lot of help to this side recently, everyone who had received the favor of the Divine Armament Hundred Refinements would be too embarrassed to make a move. Ma Xianhong would probably be directly taken down before Liu Xiaojiang could speak.
"Hehehe …" Xia Liuqing stood at the side with her hands behind her back. Her turbid eyes sized up Ma Xianhong and Liu Xiaojiang a few times. Then, she grinned with few teeth left and said,
"Young people …"
Hearing that …
Hu Li, who was sitting in front of the coffee table with his legs crossed, glanced at Xia Liuqing, who even spoke with a slight lisp. He reached out and gently knocked off the ashes in the ashtray on the coffee table.
"The matter that Master entrusted to Village Chief Ma should have been finished in the next few days …"
This sentence seemed to be reporting to Liu Xiaojiang, but in fact, it was taking the initiative to remind Liu Xiaojiang that Ma Xianhong had completely lost his value. He had become the person who would not affect the follow-up plan even if he died.
Other than Liu Yanyan, who had just arrived and didn't know much about the situation here, perhaps even Er Zhuang was no longer as naive as before. All of them understood what Hu Li was doing.
However, when everyone looked at Ma Xianhong, they found that he was still looking straight at Liu Xiaojiang's face, as if he didn't hear Hu Li's' reminder 'at all.
Or perhaps …
He had already heard Hu Li's reminder and understood the meaning of this sentence, but he was still so fearless. He didn't think that Liu Xiaojiang would really be so heartless.
Seeing this..,
Hu Li raised the copper pipe in his hand and put it to his mouth. "Village Chief Ma, those guys outside are all hopeless existences. The reason why today's situation happened is that they want to rely on the strength that Master has shown and want to use the banner of integrity to satisfy their selfish desires."
"The people outside are all sinful people, and in the eyes of Master, they are also dispensable existences."
"If those people could stand up and play a role when they were 'needed' back then, they might still have a chance to live. However, when Master didn't need them, they quickly stood up and thought that they could benefit from waiting for an opportunity."
"Death is not to be regretted. It might be referring to people like them …"
As she said that..,
She gently exhaled a mouthful of light blue smoke and turned to look at Shen Chong, Lu Liang, Tu Junfang, and Xia Liuqing in the room.
"Xia he has her own problems. Her innate nature has determined that she can't integrate into the environment. Wherever she goes, she will be looked at strangely by others."
"However, other than this girl, there doesn't seem to be anyone else worth paying attention to. Among them, the ones who can be considered smart … I'm afraid only these four children are present."
"But …"
"Are they really smart?"
"If they were really smart, they wouldn't have joined the all-around. They're all evil people who don't care about the lives of others for their selfish desires. It's just that they haven't become the kind of people outside, or perhaps they've seen the problem clearly and decided early on that even if they do evil, they can't be unscrupulous."
"But if you say that they're stupid …"
"These guys have all seen the problem clearly. It's not difficult for them to find an opportunity to leave this inexplicable organization. However, they've been with the evil people around them from the beginning to the end. It's only a matter of time before they assimilate with those guys outside."
"Now, perhaps we can only say that you guys are lucky. You just happened to meet Master's appearance and stand on the edge of the bottom line …"
"…" Shen Chong's feelings towards Hu Li's words were undoubtedly the greatest among the four people who were mentioned.
Hearing these words..,
Ma Xianhong turned to look at Hu Li, who was sitting in front of the coffee table. "They are them, I am me … What does what they do have to do with me?"
"The relationship between me and Daoist Liu is purely that of a friend. I'm helping him … and I'm not plotting anything from him. You don't have to use your own way of thinking to take my point of view."
"Village Chief Ma is indeed different from us." Hu Li shook his head indifferently and said,
"And, to be honest, except for Windsor, everyone here has a higher status in Master's heart than me. But unfortunately … trust has little to do with relationship, status, and other factors."
"Although Village Chief Ma is Master's friend, Windsor and I are only Master's followers, but when it comes to trust … I believe that other than Madam and Miss Yanyan, Master trusts us the most."
"Besides …"
"Your so-called friend, your so-called friend, has a very different concept from Master. If Master wants to become a real disaster one day and wants to bring destruction to everything in the world … Will Village Chief Ma be willing to help?"
"…" Ma Xianhong.
"Windsor and I have no reason to refuse." Hu Li calmly blew a smoke ring in Ma Xianhong's direction.
"Friend? Haha … "
"Enough." Liu Xiaojiang noticed that Ma Xianhong seemed to have begun to doubt his life again because of Hu Li's words, so he took the initiative to interrupt Hu Li's bewitchment of Ma Xianhong.
"Old Ma also has his own ideas. There's no need to force him to do things according to our ideas. Regarding the deaths of those guys outside as entertainment, I've indeed gone overboard with my words just now."
"Indeed …"
"The lives of the wicked are also lives. Since they have paid the price for what they have done, we can't drag them out of the ground and continue to whip their corpses. Moreover, even if we can 'whip their corpses', we, who are not victims, have no right to do so."
After saying that …
He looked at the honest man, who was obviously easy to fool, and the indignation in his eyes had gradually disappeared because of his words, and said,
"Old Ma, I know what you are angry about, so I can take back what I said just now. But don't forget that those seemingly pitiful guys outside have killed more than one innocent life. Many of them didn't even choose to let ordinary people go."
"Their deaths are not only self-inflicted, but also retribution caused by karma."
"The prayers of these people before they died shouldn't have been directed at me. No matter how naive you are … you should understand that their prayers to me are only for their lives, not for any remorse."
"If they really have remorse for the past, the object of their prayers when they repent shouldn't be the so-called God, let alone me, the so-called Sect Leader. Instead, it should be the former victims …"
"But unfortunately …"
"Perhaps those who are truly remorseful don't want me to save their lives. Or perhaps none of them are truly remorseful. Anyway … I didn't see anyone who begged for the victim's forgiveness in the news I received."
"Not a single one …"
