Daozu Hongjun: What I love, what I love
People in later generations have had many speculations about me, some say that I don't exist, and some who respect me as the ancestor of Taoism, no matter which one of them, it is not very accurate. I am not the ancestor of Taoism, nor do I not exist, and my existence is the only proof of this.
The history of mankind is not long, and Taoism has not existed in the world for a long time, and my career is longer than the history of mankind, even before the existence of Taoism. However, before Taoism, I didn't know that there was a Tao, and before the history of mankind, I didn't know what time was—time, for me, was meaningless.
Just as a person looks at the endless flow of the river, the ant that rides on the bamboo leaves and goes down with the waves, it is also meaningless to people.
Many, many years later, when the "time-traveler" whose soul came from Earth asked me, "Are you the first person in heaven and earth?" I didn't know how to answer her strange questions.
No, the first person in heaven and earth is not me, it is Pangu, the Pangu who opened the world.
She asked, "There is a creator god in the East and a creator god in the West, but in the end, which system of gods created the world and created human beings?" Although I still agree with the theory of evolution, if even you exist, then the gods of other systems must also exist, so who created the world and all living beings? ”
I couldn't answer her question because I had fallen into a deep sleep, and when I woke up, humanity had begun to enter a recorded age and a Taoist presence. In fact, no one worships me as the ancestor of Taoism, and the real ancestor of Taoism is Lao Tzu, which actually has nothing to do with me.
I was born after Pangu, but I have cause and effect with Pangu, but it also has nothing to do with it. In the years since the world was carved out, there have not been many living beings in the heavens and the earth. When I was bored, I caught a trace of law and order in the universe, and when I went deeper, there was a force pulling me away, as if it was about to pull me away from this world that I was familiar with and had lived in for many years.
Of course, I don't want to leave, although this place is lonely, it has gradually begun to live, I think that in many years, there will be many living beings in this world with me, I want to see this world become more and more prosperous, I want to watch the sun, moon and stars here, shining on the same people as me. However, I could not stop the pull of that power, and in the days and nights of meditation, I got a thought, so I was in harmony with the way of heaven, and obtained the right to stay in this world forever, and to protect her forever.
"Then why are you trying to get your emotions back?"
Yin Liucai always guessed who I loved, so I wanted to get my emotions back, because there were people who couldn't give up. In fact, no, I am not like her Taoist companion who is in line with the way of heaven, the only thing I love and love deeply is this world that they call the earth. As for whether the Eastern God or the Western God created her, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I love her and love her deeply.
"Then what is the relationship between Zeus and God and you, superiors or colleagues?"
"Why do you always have so many weird questions."
"I'm curious."
There are too many things she is curious about, and throughout the ages, inside and outside the universe, there is nothing she is not curious about. However, I liked this "little" girl, and her curiosity made me feel that the people who grew up in the world I guarded were very cute. There is an endless thirst for knowledge, afraid of the unknown at the same time, but also yearning for the unknown, extremely bold, and equally cautious.
As I watched them cautiously enter the universe, and watched them look anxiously awaiting unknown visitors to the universe, I always wanted to smile at them and tell them, "You are doing a good job."
Due to the different domains, the chance of human beings bumping into a visitor from the universe is very small, but it is not impossible, and one day in the future, they may receive the news that the visitor from the universe wants to land. Or, one day in the future, when they have already sailed into deep space, they will be in the universe, meeting other beings in the universe.
"What about the origin of humanity? I found that many worlds are full of human beings, and they may be very different in terms of appearance, bones, hair color, and eye color, but in fact, they are all human beings with hands and feet, two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Will the genetic lineage be the same, what is the principle, and should it be explained scientifically or from Taoism? ”
"The universe is so big, I can't explain many things, I'm not the all-knowing and all-powerful God of the West, otherwise, I'll send you to him, you ask him?"
Yin Liucai refused with a face: "Don't, the beliefs are different, how to talk." ”
I would love to tell her that I can't talk to her about her words and faith.
"Well, what about our gods of the East, where have they gone, I have long noticed, they are not on the earth at all, nor in the solar system. Why are the gods of the West still there, but the gods of the East are gone, except for some gods such as mountain gods and land, and the giants in those myths and legends are not there. ”
Actually, I also want to know the question asked by Yin Liucai, however, it is also a problem of this time difference. They were still there when I left Earth, and by the time I returned to Earth, they were gone. Even the land of the mountain gods was not the land of the mountain gods of that period.
All the gods in the East have indeed left the earth, and the land of the mountain gods cannot be regarded as a kind of priesthood in the first place, but a naturally formed reward. However, when a heroic spirit dies in a certain place, and there is no land of mountain gods there, it will naturally become the land of mountain gods. Their divine power is extremely small, and they can't do much beyond nature.
"Maybe one day, they will meet in the universe, but I really don't know where they went."
"It's really disappointing, I still want to meet Monkey King and Chang'e, I have been most curious about them since I was a child. By the way, is there really a Monkey King, is there really a Chang'e? ”
"Chang'e has it, but Sun Wukong, I don't know, Sun Wukong only came after I left, and it belongs to the Western Heavenly Buddhist system. But in the current Western Heaven Buddhism system, there is no Monkey King, and it is possible that he left with them, maybe it didn't exist at all, after all, it came from a book. ”
"But it seems to me that you are only from a book, after all, as you said, you do not exist in any historical record."
"But I'm here."
"So, I can look forward to seeing them in the universe one day?"
"Yes."
Yes, one day, we will meet those gods who are as irresponsible as I am.
When the time comes, I will clear up with them the accounts that have been ignored by human beings over the years, although human beings can't do anything big without them, although I don't have anything to do with them, let alone a colleague.
But...... When it comes to this matter in the world, only whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.
Well, in the whole universe, my fist is also quite big.
