"Life and death, beginning and end, the soul returns to the ancient cycle of reincarnation, everything repeats itself, this is the truth. Those who cling to 'immortality' do so precisely because they do not understand the source of life. Sometimes, 'death' is more worth pursuing than 'not dying'. Kusanagi said.

Within the black mist, Kusanagi's voice fluttered around, unable to determine its location.

As a modern person, I try to parse the mindset of a person in the thirties. At that time, those who were in high positions pursued eternal life in addition to the pursuit of wealth. The former, which can be obtained through constant war and plunder, is esoteric and difficult to understand, and must be reaped by the power of a warlock.

Take the emperor as an example, the reason why he reused Kusanagi Kan and gave courtesy to others must have something to ask for.

Looking at the world situation at that time, navigators opened up sea lanes and connected the West and East, and technological innovations in the shipbuilding industry and aviation industry made global navigation easier. When human beings have enough strength to travel far away, their ambitions will swell a hundredfold or a thousandfold.

If you don't die, you can have imperial power for generations; If you dominate the continent, you can expand the country's territory to infinity and limitlessness; If Kusanagi made good on his promise, the secrets buried in the ancient Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang would be successfully transported back to Tokyo – probably the emperor's wishful thinking.

It is a pity that the rebellion of Fang Shen Zhizi made the emperor's plan come to naught, and he became angry and took the lowest means of killing people to vent his anger.

"There are too many secrets buried in ancient Chinese mainland, and the wisdom of the ancients is thousands of times greater than that of today, and they can also see the limits of life and death clearly." Kusanagi said.

The black mist blurs the boundaries of time, although he is a master of exotic ninjutsu decades ago, but at this moment there is no barrier between us, as if two confidants are discussing problems.

I have not forgotten that the origin of all the rivers and lakes is the secret of the murals of the Mogao Grottoes, that is, "the golden mountains and silver seas of the jade palace, the eternal and immortal bureau".

"The secret...... That secret has to be revealed, right? Am I the right person to reveal it? No, no...... In the past, it may have been, but now, my heart is in turmoil, and my soul has remained in Tokyo forever......" he said again intermittently.

I didn't speak, silently pondering his words.

Jianghu people are more profitable, their hands are faster than their brains, and most people don't have time to think, they just rush forward with a big move.

If the rig was still there, there would probably be countless people rushing to Cave 112 one after another to drill the mural to the ground. That kind of blind action is the main reason for the destruction of thousands of ancient temples and buildings in Chinese mainland. In the end, the treasure did not reappear, but it cost the lives of many innocent people.

"He who seeks eternal life must die first; If you want to be high, you must first sink into the sludge; The more urgent it is, the farther it gets. Kusanagi said.

My thoughts drifted farther and farther with his words, because these are philosophical truths, which have touched the academic category of naïve materialism and naïve dialectics.

Of course, the seventy-seventh chapter of the Tao Te Ching, China's greatest philosophical work, has the same statement, and the original sentence of the ancient text is - "The way of heaven is like a bow?" The higher one suppresses it, and the lower one lifts it; Those who have more are lost, and those who are insufficient are made up. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The way of man, otherwise, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Taoist. It is not afraid of the saint, and it is not necessary to be successful, and it does not want to see the virtuous. ”

After thousands of years of interpretation by wise men, the great wisdom in the Tao Te Ching has become the philosophy and behavior guide of the Chinese people, and has been translated and spread to more than ninety percent of countries around the world. Therefore, I feel that what Kusanagi said is likely to be understood from the Tao Te Ching.

When the great monk Jianzhen crossed to the east, he brought too much essence of Chinese civilization to the Fusang people.

The spread of culture is like water that has been spilled and can never be recovered.

"Saints are not ashamed" is an attitude of the ancient Chinese, and "becoming a gentleman" is the greatest pursuit of the ancients, but in the face of the sharp blades, ships, cannons, and bayonets of the Japanese invaders, these philosophies are all turned into paper lanterns, which cannot give the Chinese nation any protection.

The ancient Chinese people did things with the purpose of "the way of heaven is more than enough", but the Japanese were "not enough to give more than enough", which is the cause of the situation that the big country was bullied by the small country and the Celestial Empire was surrounded and suppressed by the four empires.

Then, the rise of the island country of Fusang is the inevitable result of the seeds planted by Jianzhen Dongdu after the ground breaks through and germinates - Tai'a holds it upside down and gives people a handle.

If it were not for the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in which the whole country and the army and the people were united, the shackles of the country and the shame of colonization might really fall on the head of the Chinese nation. Therefore, "without the Communist Party, there would be no New China, and only the Communist Party can save China" is absolutely not an empty phrase, every word is the truth.

"The extremes of things must be reversed, and the extremes of prosperity must decline...... Perhaps, aborting here is the most correct choice. Mogao Mogao ...... If you go to a high place again, you have already touched the feet of the blue sky, and the sin is great. The ancient Chinese named this place 'Mogao', isn't that exactly what they said? Kusanagi said again.

I couldn't agree more, and many media outlets have expounded on the meaning of "Mogao", which is similar to what Kusanagi Suga said.

If the Japanese had such an ideological understanding, then the protracted Sino-Japanese war in the last century would not have been provoked.

The black mist flickered, and within five steps in front of me, a faint white light appeared.

Before, I had only seen Kusanagi Kan lying in a crystal coffin, her face was pale and covered with a thin layer of frost, and she looked extremely desolate.

This time, I saw Kusanagi's face in a trance, in the white light.

In the white light, there was another face, and the skin was pale golden, like a freshly molded Buddha statue. It turned out that Kusanagi Kan was not talking to himself, but to that face.

"What is the supreme meaning of ninjutsu?" The golden-faced man asked.

"It is described in "Wanchuan Jihai" that ninjutsu is not a martial art, nor is it an assassination technique, but a way of practice. In this way, wise men reach the limits of human thinking, feed back the content of thinking, and contribute to the eternal development of mankind. Kusanagi replied.

The white light flickered on and off, and the resulting aperture suddenly widened and narrowed, confronting the black fog that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.

After Kusanagi finished speaking, a chirping birdsong came, and the shoulders of the golden-faced man were exposed, and there was a golden-winged roc with its wings gathered on it.

"I only listen to your heart." The golden-faced man said.

"The supreme meaning of ninjutsu is death." Kusanagi replied.

"Before death?" The golden-faced man asked.

"Help all people to die, and through the reincarnation channel of death, new human beings and new ideas are born." Kusanagi replied.

"Great, wonderful." The golden-faced man said.

From Kusanagi's words, I had an epiphany, that is, the huge topic of "human generation".

About 80 years ago, when the Nazi Führer launched an "extermination program" in various European countries, some biologists who sided with the Nazis wrote articles explicitly mentioning the doctrine of "human generation".

Before and during World War II, this doctrine prevailed and eventually became the driving force of the Nazis.

In this doctrine, the Nazi plan of "human selection" was instigated, which eventually led to the Nazi Führer sending an advance team to the heart of the Himalayas in search of the "axis of the earth".

I have read this information, the core idea of "human generation", that is, "the progress of human civilization is not because of the development of science and technology, but because the new people after reincarnation come with the wisdom of their previous lives and give back to society with double wisdom." It is not excluded that in addition to the second reincarnation, there are also third, fourth, and fifth repeated reincarnation of people, just like Archimedes, Einstein and other ultimate scientists, whose generations of wisdom are superimposed, and they are already five times that of ordinary earthlings, so they will become strange talents born out of thin air and point out the direction for the development of mankind. ”

By extension, the doctrine can be reduced to "the immortality of human beings is the driving force of social progress." ”

In Kusanagi Kan and the golden-faced people, the words are different, but the ideological logic is exactly the same.

"Not dying is a mistake." Kusanagi added, "It's a mutant variety that escaped from the laboratory." ”

That's right, that's the truth of the truth. Human beings die in chronological order precisely in order to be resurrected in chronological order and rejoin the construction of humanity. As soon as someone breaks free and breaks this balance, it disrupts the progress of society. Therefore, human beings must follow the law from birth to death, and must not violate it. The golden-faced man said.

"What if someone tries to break the rules?" Kusanagi asked.

"There is no mercy for killing." The golden-faced man replied.

"What if the people with imperial power are trying to set their own rules?" Kusanagi asked.

The golden-faced man replied without question: "Again, there is no mercy for killing." ”

"Then you don't have to open that door." Kusanagi said again.

"Exactly." The golden-faced man said.

In these conversations, I suddenly discovered the insignificance and short-sightedness of the Jianghu people. While most people are obsessed with wealth and treasure, a few wise men have grasped the highest mysteries of mankind and looked at problems from a commanding height. Heaven and earth and human beings are a chess game, and these wise men are the ones who play chess.

"Okay, the fog has cleared, let's go." The golden-faced man and Kusanagi Kan said in unison.

In an instant, the two faces and an eagle turned into three wisps of white mist and disappeared into the black mist. Then, the black fog thinned and finally dissipated silently.

I was still standing in the corridor, and the Dapeng King was gone, leaving only the stunned Bai Wanyang.

"It's good that you're alive." I say it from the bottom of my heart.

"yes, it's a fluke...... What just happened? It's so thick that I can't see anything, I can't hear anything...... What about the enemy? And where did it go? Bai Wanyang asked.

I shook my head, those complicated truths were not understood by everyone, and it was better that she could not see or hear them, so as not to add to the trouble.

I led Bai Wanyang along the old road back to the elevator, silent along the way.

The theory that "reincarnation leads to social progress" is extremely advanced and cannot be understood in a short period of time. Especially for materialists, in a general sense, they believe that it is scientific and technological progress that promotes social progress, the development of civilization, the improvement of productive forces, and the renewal of the means of production. Moreover, for a long time, the media has habitually used this as a basis to promote social progress with various clichés. In the era of impetuous and noisy, reporters and knife catchers have no time to observe and think about the motivation and causes of social progress, but just go with the flow and write ready-made articles according to the existing caliber and wording.

"If reincarnation is so important, who will my last reincarnation be?" I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

The more they are explained, the more confusing they become, and they have gradually become a topic exclusive to Buddhist monks, and even a peerless mystery that can only be touched by Tibetan secret masters who have been meditating for many years in Tibetan temples.

As Kusanagi Kan and the Golden Mask said, the language is very shallow and very easy to understand, but it immediately triggers the audience's deep thought, which is a real master-level dialogue, and it is like enlightenment for future generations.

"Mr. Long, why don't you speak? Hurt? Bai Wanyang asked with concern.

I shook my head: "No, it's just ...... After the big war, I was a little tired. ”

Bai Wanyang nodded and let out a sigh: "That's good, that's good, when the enemy released the murderous light from that gourd, I was really worried about your safety." At that time, it was too far away, and if I suddenly got a little closer, I would definitely stand in front of you and protect you with all my might. ”

I was a little moved: "Thank you, I am already grateful for being able to say that." ”

Bai Wanyang shook her head: "Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, you should also thank the general." She said that Mr. Long is a very important person to the Yellow Flower Society, before the expedition, the army division once spent three days and three nights with the 'big *' divination of a hexagram, the hexagram shows that the real dragon breaks the abyss, the sky is cracked, the blue sky is round, and the land is expanded. She also said that after the end of this war, Mr. Long will be invited to the United States to have in-depth exchanges with the big names in the field of metaphysics there to determine the future development of the Yellow Flower Society. ”

I smiled softly, neither acknowledging nor denying her compliment.
