Chapter 237 Become a Buddha and become a devil?
This is becoming a Buddha.
Of course, this is just an extreme situation, and the other extreme situation is just the opposite. If you kill a hundred innocent people, you can save a person - this person happens to be your relative, but he is extremely guilty, how should you choose?
Most people will fall into pain and hesitation. One side is relatives and the other side is the most basic principle of being a human being {not a high standard of morality}, and giving up on either side is heavy.
But for Song Jiang, this is not a fucking problem at all. What are the things to consider? Naturally, it is the choice of the one that is beneficial to him.
If no outsiders know, of course, they will choose to save their relatives and sacrifice those 100 people. On the contrary, if everyone knows them, they will naturally choose to save those 100 people and sacrifice their relatives - he will even kill him with his own hands to gain a good reputation of destroying relatives for justice.
Therefore, for someone like Song Jiang who has reached the extreme, there will never be any difficulty in making any choices. Family affection and conscience are nothing to him. He only has his own interests in his eyes, and for this benefit, he can make any choice anytime and anywhere, and can switch freely without any effort.
So he could send Wang Yingyanshun and others to pretend to be Qin Ming and indirectly kill his family and his wife, and then betrothed Hua Rong's sister to Qin Ming to win over; so he could repeatedly use other people's family members to be hostages to "earn" people up the mountain, such as Xiao Rang Jin Dajian, Li Ying, Xu Ning, Lu Junyi, etc. are all victims; he could let Li Kui kill the innocent little yamen and force Zhu Tong to go to the end and go up the mountain - and Zhu Tong was also his life-saving benefactor; he could force Hu Sanniang, who was as beautiful as a flower, to force the poor, short and weak scumbag Wang Ying; he could poison Li Kui who was loyal to him and devotedly to him, but just to keep a reputation in the world; he could use tens of thousands of soldiers and 107 heroes from the entire Liangshan to be cannon fodder to conquer the world, so as to be his own level of advancement.
There is no standard here, such as conscience, loyalty, friends, relatives, and morality, as long as you can achieve your own goals.
This is becoming a demon.
To sum it up in one sentence, it is to be extremely selfish and become a demon, and it is to become a Buddha. Neither of these two people will be troubled, but most people in the world cannot do it so thoroughly. They want to gain benefits, but they are also afraid of being condemned by their conscience, so they spend their entire lives wandering between the two.
The closest thing to the realm of becoming a Buddha on Liangshan is Lu Zhishen. He is only fair in his work regardless of his closeness and alienation. He will help whoever is right, and he will not ask for any reward. Others, such as Lin Chong, Wu Song, Zhu Tong and others, are also very close to him; while those who become demons are naturally the old traitor Song Jiang, while Wu Yong, Qin Ming, Li Kui, Wang Ying and others are closer to him, while the rest are closer to ordinary people.
For Du Jia, it is not advisable to become a demon or a Buddha. It is not necessary to say that he can sacrifice everything for his own benefit. This is obviously not the path he chose, but it is also not possible to become a Buddha. The Buddhist saying that feeding tigers with his body is indeed very touching, but you saved yourself and it is also noble, but how much help will it be to this world? You only feed one tiger, so what should you do with other tigers?
So he would not choose either way. He chose a real kingly path - to take care of the interests of the vast majority of people. For this reason, he can become a demon at some point, and sometimes he can become a Buddha.
What he has to consider at this moment is the interests of most people on Liangshan!
Seeing that Du Jia was thinking about something without saying anything, no one in the room dared to say anything, afraid of disturbing him, and someone looked at him quietly - he saw that his eyes were as illusory as the starry sky, but unfathomable, which was daunting.
At this time, Du Jia finally woke up from his thoughts. Seeing everyone stretching his neck for his reply, he smiled faintly and said, "The military advisor's plan is good, but it's a little anxious, which goes against the style of our heroes. Let's do it like this. Use it as a backup plan first. If there is really no better way, then use it."
He did this to take care of everyone's feelings. He did not make Wu Yong and the others feel that he was a fake aloof saint, but he did not make Wu Song and the others feel that he was ruthless. Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Du Jia said again: "Let's do it, let's do it one by one. Let's settle the matter of Hujiazhuang first and then pay attention to it. Military advisor, please bring Hu Cheng over. I want to interrogate him personally."
Wu Yong hurriedly called a few personal soldiers to come and give some instructions. They soon brought Hu Cheng over and saw that he was twenty-five or six years old, eight feet tall, quite majestic, but his body was covered with scars, and obviously he was punished a lot.
It turned out that Song Jiang and the others were already angry after suffering setbacks. It was rare to catch a high-level prisoner, so they would not let him go easily. Many people used Hu Cheng as an angry bag and beat him up a few times. If they hadn't had seven leaders in the hands of the other party and Song Jiang was planning to exchange hostages with the other party, Hu Cheng would have been tortured to death long ago.
Therefore, Hu Cheng had already made his promise. As soon as he entered the house, he spat on the ground and said, "You Liangshan bandits, men and women who were hit by thousands of swords, it is my fault if you are caught by you. If you have the ability, you will kill me. Twenty years later, I will still be a hero!"
Li Kui was furious when he heard this, and he walked over and was about to slap him a few times. In fact, he was the one who beat Hu Cheng the most.
"You thief dare to retaliate. It seems that the man is not enough to hit you, haha."
However, as soon as he raised his hand, he saw Du Jia wave his hand gently. It was strange that the man who was not afraid of the world actually came back honestly, which made Hu Cheng feel surprised.
Because he was caught by Li Kui's war horses, he was beaten up by this guy a lot during these days. Naturally, he knew that this was the famous black whirlwind Li Kui in the world. This guy was rude by nature and raised his hand to hit someone at a disagreement. Even the people on Liangshan were afraid of him. Why did the little white-faced sitting down honestly today by the gesture of the little face on the seat?
Du Jia looked at Hu Cheng a few times and ordered: "Come here, arrange a seat for General Hu, and then bring some medicine to the point."
Someone brought a chair to bring medicine immediately, but Hu Cheng was not grateful and glared at Du Jia fiercely and said, "Bah, don't play these tricks, the master will not be fooled by you. If you have anything, just say it. I don't need your fake mercy!"
