Chapter 661: Life and Death, Shinto

Saw the death of two old men.

First, Xu Guangling only saw the scene after his death.

In the second place, Xu Guangling witnessed the process from birth to death, and saw the aura of his life, from gloomy to shattered, and then, at the moment of disillusionment, "return to the light", just like when the sun is about to set, the sun is shining all over Buxi Mountain.

However, this last touch of splendor will eventually dissipate, so only darkness remains.

Pure darkness.

Is this the ultimate destination of all life?

Thousands of years ago, the believers piled up the "Mani pile", this tradition continues to this day, there are many wild, abandoned, and decadent, but more have risen in the settlements.

The people carved stones, one for you, one for me, and then thousands, if not millions, of stones were piled together to become a stone pile of many beliefs or beliefs.

If you don't consider the solemnity or anything, purely in nature, it is similar to the "Wishing Tree", "Wishing Pond", "Wishing Peak" and so on in many tourist attractions.

A lot of young men and women go out on a trip and write each other's names together and hang them on a tree, or make a concentric lock or something, and lock it to the mountain peak.

Many, many tourists do this, so the slightly warmer spots, but where there are such facilities, the scenery is generally quite spectacular.

Nor are they pure young men and women, unmarried men and women, married men in their thirties and forties, and children with them.

And once upon a time, Xu Guangling had not yet set foot on this road, and when he was wandering around, he once saw an elderly couple with silver hair, who looked very cultured and cultivated, and also hung the names of the two of them on a tree, and then looked at each other and smiled.

The old man smiled like a child.

The old woman smiled a little shyly.

It seems that decades of turnaround, decades of stumbling, decades of experience and sophistication, decades of old age, were all erased at that moment, back to the beginning, maybe the first time they met, the first time they held hands?

So, from this point of view, whether it is a wishing tree or a mani pile, it is not superstition, and for many people it does not rise to the level of faith.

It is a real "sustenance".

Put some wishes, some yearnings, or simple thoughts in your heart on the tree and the stone.

Whether it is a tree, a stone, or anything else, the carrier does not matter, these can all be attributed to "nature", or "heaven".

The world is too complicated, but sustenance can be very simple.

Many people live in a drowsy and ambiguous, or live day after day like firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, or they live nobly.

Etcetera.

However, this does not prevent them from making a wish at some point in their lifetime.

Even if it's just for fun, for fun.

But when he makes a wish, his heart and thoughts must be different from usual.

Simplicity is extracted from complexity, beauty is extracted from ordinary, and those that are not yet defiled are extracted from the mean.

That moment.

There is no earth-shattering, nothing to sing and cry about.

But as far as life itself is concerned, it is really worth remembering.

Perhaps, when their lives are truly "back to light", they may focus on that scene in their lives.

On the edge of the declining Mani pile, Xu Guangling stood for a long time and muttered for a long time.

Perhaps it was just witnessing life and death, at this moment, after becoming a great master, Xu Guangling systematically thought about life and death for the first time.

Standing at Xu Guangling's current height, look at life.

The birth of each new life is like a piece of wood being thrown into the boundless sea, and then being corroded by the sea water all the time until it finally completely disintegrates. — and it's inevitable.

The block may also have been hit by an accident and disintegrated before it could be corroded and disintegrated.

Where there is life, there must be consciousness.

However, the consciousness of the vast majority of people in the world is in "life", working hard, working hard, working on the burden of life, working hard for fame or fortune, and there is not a lot of spare time and spare thoughts to think about the question of life itself.

Of course, it may also be because it is useless to think about it, and it is better to think about some real things than to think about this.

But what if, for some reason, consciousness is freed from the labor of life?

Then the question is inevitably stationed in the consciousness.

Then, out of the instinct of life, it is likely to think, how can this wooden block not be corroded?

Is there a mountain on this sea?

If the wooden block can come to the mountain from this boundless sea, it may not be corroded, although there may be another corrosion, but the scene must be much better, ten times a hundred times a thousand times a thousand times better.

And that, for ordinary life, is undoubtedly "immortality".

So, "it is said that there is a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain is in the void", Qin Shi Huang, who did not worry about eating and drinking, and did not worry about fame and fortune, sent people to find the fairy mountain.

Finding mountains on the sea is one way.

Another way is to find mountains and alchemy at the same time. - Even if you soak in this sea and are corroded by seawater, if the texture is different, the degree and speed of corrosion by seawater must be different, right?

This is the Word.

And since ancient times, Shinto has been used at the same time.

Where there is the Word, there must be God.

Qin Shi Huang looked for a mountain, Ge baked the alchemy, and many people who had neither the conditions to find the mountain nor the conditions for alchemy, or who did not know the concept of shandan but had thoughts or fears about life and death, hoped that there might be great power to save or redeem.

This is the most fundamental foothold of all religions and religions.

It can also be said to be based on life itself.

Therefore, no matter how advanced the so-called "science" is, as long as the problems of life, life and death are not solved for a day, the religious religion will stand proudly and unbreakable, or even if it is broken, it will definitely stand again.

Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

Because they have "roots".

The more advanced science and society become, the less space there will be for religion and religion to survive?

Not really.

Not only is it not, but it's quite the opposite!

The more prosperous science and the more advanced society is, the higher the degree of human exploitation and utilization of natural resources, the less pressure will be required for survival and life, and then many, many people's consciousness and time may be free.

Then study.

That's work and career.

Then fall in love.

Let's have fun.

In addition to these and so on, many, many people, because of the spare time of consciousness and time, will be "compelled" to think about and touch the questions about life, about life and death.

So at that time......

Religion Dachang.

Divine Cult Dachang.

And the life activities and hot spots of the whole society should also be completely different from today.

Of course, at that time, most of the so-called religions and religions will also evolve and change, and it is likely that they will be different from what they are today.

"In that life, I turned mountains and rivers to pagodas, not to cultivate the next life, but to meet you on the way. ”

At this moment, Xu Guangling remembered such a sentence in a poem.

I really want to live for 10,000 years.

Not for immortality.

I just want to see what the real "prosperous age" looks like.

(This should be what I wrote, the situation of the third world experienced by the protagonist, advertise it in advance, please look forward to something, haha.) )
