Chapter 500: The Power of Faith
"Senda's warning fireflies?" In Chihiro City, a firefly fluttered its wings, passed through an unknown number of houses, and finally got into a palace.
This palace is not luxurious, but it has a heavy killing intent and a cold air, and the light on the fireflies that fly here becomes much dimmer.
Chihiro Castle is located in the middle of the human race and the demon race, forming a unique aesthetic characteristic, with extensive decoration everywhere, sword patterns everywhere, this war city seems to be born for battle.
At this time, more than a dozen Danshi gathered in this hall, and these Danshi seemed to be discussing something, and the firefly flew in suddenly, and the discussion inside couldn't help but stop.
"Didn't Senda lead his troops to recruit the newly created village? that village is only more than three hundred people, and he brought thousands of soldiers, is there any surprise?" said a burly Danshi.
"Fireflies can't speak, so why don't you just go and see?" a voice came from the main seat.
"I'll go!" said the burly Dan Shi who was the first to speak.
"Lei Zheng, you are a second-grade Zidan Danshi, wouldn't you use a knife to kill chickens?"
Lei Zheng laughed and said, "I have just been promoted to the second-grade purple pill realm, and I am anxious to move my muscles and bones and taste the pleasure of crushing others!"
Lei Zheng said and stood up, this guy looked very burly when he was originally sitting, and when he stood up at this time, his figure was even taller, and the top of his head was almost touching the roof of the main hall, and his height had to be at least more than three meters close to four meters, and this guy was almost the same height as the stone right guard.
If such a guy is not born a freak, he should not be a Terran!
At this time, Lei Zheng showed his full face under the lights of the main hall, and saw that this guy had a square face, a thick beard flowing down his cheeks to his chest, and even lower, a pair of big eyes, like two suns embedded in his cheeks, but the most commendable thing was probably the horizontal flesh of his face.
If this guy stares, he can definitely scare people to death.
"That's it, if you want to stretch your muscles, go back quickly, if you find Senda, no matter what happens, come back immediately, that village is not worth mentioning, when it will be too late to deal with it, the demon clan outside the city is now ready to move, I can't say when I will come to the city again!"
Lei Zheng was quite respectful to the Danshi led by him, and bowed his hand like a soldier receiving a military order, and then walked out of the main hall gate.
"City Lord, there won't be any problem if you ask Lei Zheng to go, right?" Several Danshi in the hall obviously didn't have much confidence in Lei Zheng.
The man at the head was the city lord of Chihiro City, and he said: "He has been suffocated during this time, it is better to go out and find a whetstone to open a knife, it is much better for Shangdanshi than for the demon clan outside Shangcheng." β
The hall was silent for a moment, and then began to discuss the defense of the city invaded by demon beasts again.
......
"Faith?"
"What is faith?"
There was a glass-like light flash in the golden Buddha's eyes: "Originally, I planned to wait for you to practice for a while, at least to the Bodhisattva realm, and then explain to you in detail, but since you have your own chance, it doesn't hurt to tell you now." β
"From the day the human race was born, it was destined to be different, have you ever thought about it, what is the difference between people and animals? There must be any difference, so people are people, animals are animals, so the human race can control other animals, raise pigs and cattle, this difference, not because people have hands and feet, nor because people have no hair on their bodies, but because people's consciousness is different from other animals, we are afraid of death, enjoy joy, harvest love, Obsessed with all kinds of colors, we are confused about who we are, where we come from, what we are going to do, all these activities of consciousness eventually condense into a powerful force that makes us human beings, not animals, and from this power faith is a pure, hard, unshakable will that is sublimated. β
"When there is awe in people's hearts, faith is born, fear of thunder and lightning, fear of death, fear of wild beasts, etc., and so on, when human beings are born into this world, like a newborn baby, afraid of everything we see, afraid of what we are familiar with or unfamiliar with, we are curious and afraid of being hurt, we pray that everything will go well, we pray that our loved ones will return as soon as possible with their prey, and at this time, the germ of faith begins to be born. β
"I remember you once said that you can only collect the power of faith after you have a golden Buddha statue, how can I collect the power of faith now that I don't have a Buddha statue?"
"In fact, the power of faith can be collected by everyone, but there are two disadvantages, one is that it cannot be stored without a golden body, and the other is that it cannot be controlled without a golden body. β
"Although you can feel the power of faith changing you now, this is only temporary, and it cannot be maintained for a long time, and you can only rely on the floating slaughter to exert and store it. β
"Actually, before you don't have a golden body, it's best not to touch the power of faith, because when you get used to the benefits brought by the power of faith, it's easy to go to the road of collecting the power of faith in a radical way, which is not much benefit to your own cultivation. The Buddha statue said.
Fang Dang pondered for a moment and then asked, "You said that people give birth to faith because of fear, that is to say, your Buddhists were born on fear?"
The Buddha shook his head and said: "Terror is not a single emotion, in fact, any emotion of the human race is not a single existence, if you love someone, you will give birth to fear, because you are afraid of losing her, you are afraid that she will be hurt, you are afraid that she will leave you, in fact, the more emotions of love, the more fear you will have." β
"Faith is born out of fear, but where does fear come from? β
Fang Dang nodded clearly, these are not difficult to understand, just as Fang Dang was afraid that Hong Jing would be hurt, but Fang Dang still had unsolvable doubts in his eyes, and asked: "Where does that power come from?" This power of faith cannot be seen or touched, and I can't feel his existence at all. "For Fang Dang, what he has been practicing all kinds of qi veins all along, especially after Fang Dang has the Five Thieves Dharma, he can see the qi veins clearly, and his understanding of this way of cultivation based on qi veins has become much more thorough than that of ordinary Danshi, and he has become more and more determined, and now he suddenly tells him that there is an invisible and untouchable power of faith that can help him practice, which makes Fang Dang have doubts.
The golden Buddha statue smiled and said, "If you can't see or touch, don't you exist? Don't you have power? You can't see or touch, you just use your own eyes to see, you are breathing, but you can't see the air, don't they exist? There are 30 million insects in a scoop of water, and if you can't see them, they don't exist? For this heaven and earth, this world, the human race is not even a firefly, and even, even if the ancient god Zheng who created all this, his understanding of this world may not be so complete, and what is so strange about one more way of cultivating? The so-called Three Thousand Great Dao, perhaps, your Taoist cultivation method is only one of the Three Thousand Great Dao, and our Buddhist family is just one, as for the various sects and Taoism below, it is just a stubble. The world is so big that it is infinite! How many can be seen with the naked eye of a mortal being? 1 in 10 million. β
Fang Dang looked at the Buddha statue in surprise, if it weren't for the fact that this Buddha statue represented a civilization that the ancient god Zheng Du had to destroy in person, Fang Dang must have thought that this Buddha statue was full of nonsense.
How big is the world, infinite?
Fang Dang suddenly had a feeling of breathlessness at this moment, originally in Fang Dang's understanding, the world was the four extremes and eight desolations, and the five turbid worlds, but now, Fang Dang seemed to have touched a larger and broader world.
The world is so complex that even the God who created it cannot grasp it in one hand.
Fang Dang originally thought that the Five Thieves could see through the whole world, but now, what the Five Thieves could see through might only be those things of Taoism, as for the power of Buddhism's faith, or other things, the Five Thieves could not see through it at all.
While Fang Dang felt that he was having trouble breathing, an irrepressible sense of excitement arose, and this excitement came from the desire for the unknown.
It's like a man who has lived in a jar for decades and suddenly knows that there is a world outside the jar, and that there are so many things he has never seen before, excitement is accompanied by a hint of fear.
This Fang Dang began to be in awe of this world, if this world really had a divine mansion, at this moment, Fang Dang might choose to surrender.
I see, this is faith.
Fang Dang looked at the Buddha statue, and then asked, "What if I collect a lot of faith power?" I can only feel that I am a little stronger after absorbing the power of faith, but this strength is almost insignificant. β
The Buddha statue smiled: " That's because the power of faith you get is not pure, all you get is trust and the desire born of fear, those villagers are just calling you, there is still a long way to go from believing in you, and it can even be said that what you have collected now is not the real power of faith, until these people really regard you as a god, worship you, believe in your words regardless of whether they are true or false, when you tell them to die, they immediately die without having a trace of doubt or even doubt, you can get the real power of faith, that kind of power, you can only understand what is going on when you experience itγ β
Fang Dang nodded, and was about to leave, when the Buddha statue spoke again: "You should have a name, ask them to recite your name every day, so that when they are afraid, call your name and ask for your help, remember, if you want the power of their faith, then when they need it, you should help them, you have to treat them as your flesh and blood, your relatives and children, in short, if you love them, they will believe in you, if you just ask for faith, it won't be long before they abandon you." Of course, it's important not to make them forget their fears, because those who have lost their fears will not believe in anything. β
The Buddha statue paused slightly when it said this, as if remembering something, and then slowly fell silent, and its open eyes gradually closed.
