Chapter 3: Don't Die a Humble Death (2)
The breeze flickered, the light clouds fluttered, the war drums rumbled, and the gods and Buddhas were silent.
Fan Xiang was silent for a long time, slowly stood up, and put the fossil of the magnolia-colored lotus into his arms. His face was pale, a touch of blood red was revealed on his forehead, like a burning fire, his temples were full of green tendons, the long hair that hung down on his shoulders gradually turned from blue and black to gray, and the ends of his hair stood up, like blue and gray flying smoke, and a faint cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of blood red, and his slender eyes were half-opened, and his murderous aura was faint.
After a long time, he stood indifferently for a long time, looking calm and indifferent, but his mind was blank and empty, his mood was agitated, and he was almost crazy. He has lost everything in his mind, no self, no love, no heaven and earth, no river of forgetting sorrows, and no ruthless furnace that made him feel that it was his family in the past.
He stood on top of the peak of the waves in a trance, and looked indifferently at the Buddha and the supreme gods sitting on the lotus platform in the sky.
He gently picked up the lotus seed hovering in front of him, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it slowly, and then, with the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes were cold, and he slashed the flame knife in his hand against the wind, and then staggered to the empty clouds, and stepped into the air with an arrow step, unconsciously, he was like a wounded beast, looking up to the sky and howling, his hair stood on end, like smoke, the color was gray, and a blood-colored flame-like mark between his eyebrows was very distinct and straight through the hairline. He stood between the clouds and the sky, his clothes danced lightly, took water as armor, turned clouds into robes, and shook the flame knife in his hand on the nine heavenly clouds, and a faint blue plasma flame light erupted.
The knife in his hand slashed into the void, pulled a knife flower at random, placed the Xuanbing Flame Knife on his right shoulder, tilted his head, rolled his eyes obliquely, smiled coldly at the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and shouted loudly: "Come on, you great gods and Buddhas, don't you want to take my life and want to knock me down to the eighteenth layer of hell, then come, what are you waiting for?...... Come on, I'll wait!"
"You kid is really stubborn, you know that if you violate the laws of the Heavenly Gods, you will be an unforgivable sin, and you will never be reborn. "King Tota Li stood in the clouds and shook the tower in his hand gently.
"Yes, the laws of the Protoss, but it's yours, not mine. Use the laws of heaven to cure the sins on the earth, hehe, the distance that the eight poles can't reach, your hand is too long, haha, if you want to punish me, then come!"
Fan Xiang's expression was indifferent, and he was already crazy in his heart, and smiled coldly.
"You're just a stubborn worm. If you want to punish you for your crimes, why do you need the law!" Erlang God Yang Jian took a step forward and said lightly, tightening the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, faintly with Jin Ge's murderous intent. In front of him was a beast shaped like a dog, with feet like tiger claws, covered in scale armor, fluttering and roaring.
"Hahaha, stubborn, God's law? ha. We just want to live, to live with dignity, to live with soul and freedom. There should be love in this world, and because of love, the world has become colorful, beautiful and warm. You have single-handedly created the heavens and the earth, but at the same time you have created a heavy and dead atmosphere for the heavens and the earth, and if you do not agree, you will think that you are demons and aliens, and you will all destroy them, including all our dreams of survival in the other world! In order to survive, I may be weak, but I will never be reluctant; for the sake of love, I may be humble, but I will never compromise! The world is big enough to accommodate dreams. β
"Bugs also have dreams, well, that's good!" Yang Jian said coldly as he led the roaring Sky Dog that was fluttering and roaring in front of him.
"Even bugs have the right to live. There can be love and hate, and there can be bitterness and laughter!" Fan Xiang's expression condensed and smiled proudly.
"Bugs have their joys and sorrows, well, it's good!"
"I'm a worm, yes, then let you see the power of my worm!" Fan Xiang pointed the Xuanbing Flame Knife to the sky, smiled coldly, looked at Erlang God's eyes with indifferent eyes, and said contemptuously in a loud voice, "It is true that the civilization of the gods is unattainable, and it should be rational and wise, but why do you want to play with the fate of thousands of beings in another world, such as us? Why do you have to deprive the weak at the bottom of the difficult survival of ?...... Say, you ......."
"You...... If you break the law of God, you are a demon or a demon, and you should be destroyed...... Not to mention a bug like you. Even the Four Heavenly Kings and the Kui Wood Wolf God couldn't hold you before, is it really so powerful?I see that you are incoherent now, are you still worthy of being my opponent?" Yang Jian looked up at the sky, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Hahaha, do you say that I am a demon or a demon? Hahaha, the circle you drew for me has nothing to do with me. If I am a demon, then I will be a demon, and if I am a demon, then I will become a demon. My circle, I have the final say!" Fan Xiang looked up at Erlang God, the blood-colored flame on his forehead became more and more red, and his bloodshot eyes were almost about to spurt blood.
"Hmph! A crazy bug is not qualified to be my opponent. Erlang Shen frowned slightly, indifferent, and cold.
"Then draw the sword and shine the sword, and I will try to be a qualified opponent...... What joy do I have in life? I can't laugh, why do I have to die? Where did I come from? Where did I go? Why was I happy? Why was I bitter? I am who I am, I am free, I am crazy, I ......am happy, I am happy. Hahahaha!" Fan Xiang laughed, his spirit gradually became crazy and wild, but he did not lose the heroism of a man.
"Idiot ,......"
A deep and broad voice came from the heavens, "You have gone mad, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, the sea of bitterness is boundless, and it is good!"
Fanxiang looked up and followed the sound, and the Buddha in the West Heaven was on the high lotus platform, smiling and bowing his head.
"Haha, you guys are really interesting, hahahaha, to become a Buddha, good people need ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, but bad people just need to put down the butcher knife. I don't have a butcher's knife, how can I put it down, since the sea of bitterness is boundless, what's the use of turning back?" Fan Xiang looked at this Buddha in the West Heaven coldly, the blood in his eyes was slightly reduced, and there was some clear feeling in his mind, and he shook his palms to the Buddha, "Buddha, I am fortunate to see your true face today!" I was originally an incense candle in the ruthless furnace that melted with the smoke, listening to the quiet truth of my teacher in the scripture hall every day, in the mantra of Pudu sentient beings, I knew all beings in the world, I knew all things in heaven and earth, I knew about impermanence and change, I knew desire and non-appearance, I knew Mahayana and Hinayana, I knew the eighteen layers of infernal infernality, I thanked my teacher for giving me enlightenment, so that I could get the soul, but I hated this fate, which gave me the soul, but did not give me a free soul, so that I could love and hate, I wanted to live like this,-- sentient beings are like me, I am sentient beingsγ β
"Idiot, if you have an obsession in your heart, it is a butcher's knife, or hurt others, or harm yourself, all in your thoughts. The Buddha smiled, "Fate gathers and is born, fate is scattered and destroyed, because there is life so there is destruction, all are reincarnation, you fall into reincarnation, you are far away from great love, into the magic realm, you go back, idiot." β
"Reincarnation? I can't go back. Buddha, the mantra taught by my teacher, the human heart sincerely and compassionately seeks love, and that love is the principle of heaven. All those who help love are good, and all those who destroy love are evil. But God's law is not a law that promotes love, but the root of all evil. The lotus of the Forget the Worry River makes me love, and the otherworldly world under the mountain gives me warmth, like a warm current passing through like an electric fire. For the sake of this warmth, I am willing to fall into reincarnation and no longer regret it!"
"Foolishness, love, is also desire, if it is used as a seed, if it is applied to the evil water of obsession, it will also bear the fruit of sin. You are obsessed with it, and you have entered the path of demons! Amitabha!"
"Buddha, love or hate, there will be a beginning and an end, right? But can a circle say that there is a beginning and an end?!" Van Xiang paused and continued, "I also thought about whether there is a beginning of reincarnation? What does it look like at the beginning? That is, whether it is a Buddha, or a god, or a human, or a demon, etc., what does the beginning of reincarnation look like, and what does the end look like?"
"Everything in the world has a beginning and no beginning, an end and no end. Nothingness encompasses being, and nothingness is neither emptiness nor emptiness. You need to let go of emptiness, emptiness is not nothingness, it is also existence......"
β...... It seems that there is no beginning, so how did the first consciousness be formed? I thought the Buddha knew. But please tell me that there is no beginning and no end, how there is no beginning, how there is no end? I don't understand! Just like my consciousness of love, it began, but I don't know when it began, so how can I know when this consciousness of love ends, and since I don't know its beginning, then why should I end!"
"Innate compassion guides us in our pursuit of the true path of the path, and when we realize that there is only one thought of the Ten Thousand Dharmas, and that the universe is one with us, the true one-body compassion will naturally arise and will accompany us in all lifetimes until the eternal eon. Bow to the Dharma offering of Compassion and Sincerity Luo Zhu Khenpo! Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha!" The Buddha in the Western Heaven folded his hands, lowered his eyebrows, and recited the mantra lightly.
"Buddha, please answer me!" Fan Xiang shook the knife in his hand to the sky, spraying thousands of blue fires, the blood in his eyes was blazing, and his heart was unwilling, "I am willing to be a person in the world, even if it is a demon, there is flesh and blood, love and hate, what is the good thing about being a god? What is a god in the sky?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, looking for you girl, I'm really speechless!" The Han Shan boy under the throne of Beigong Meidi held a longbow in his hand, carved a feather on his back, stepped on the gossip wheel, jumped out, pointed at Fanxiang and reprimanded.
"It's not your fault that you're ignorant, it's weak!" Tai Bai Xing's face was covered with sweat, and he stood in the clouds with a fat and round belly, calm and relaxed.
Erlang God held a three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, took a step forward, and said coldly, "You are just an insignificant insect, we can destroy you at any time." β
"Okay then! My life is on my own, who can take it!" Fan Xiang was not afraid, and shook the knife in his hand.
The Buddha of the West Heaven half-opened his eyes, looked at the phantom shadow of the old man who came from afar and the golden toad that followed, smiled with a smile, and recited softly: "If you want to know the cause of the past life, the recipient of this life is; Raising his hand, opening a warping point in mid-air, the canopy in the middle of the western sky suddenly bent a transparent arc, like a huge bubble, and the upper part was lightly filled with a touch of mist like ripples, and the golden light was dazzling in an instant, and the Buddha and all the Buddhas were hidden in it, and it was already in the main hall of the West Heaven Leiyin Temple sitting on Venus.
At this moment, the sound of an urn behind Fan Xiang came, "...... Senior Brother Fanxiang, stop ......", and when he turned around, it was Senior Brother Jin Chan.
"Big brother...... I....... Fan Xiang's eyes were dripping, and he bowed, "Senior brother, please tell the master on behalf of my junior brother, I am sorry for his old man, and my life will be fulfilled by myself,...... Junior brother, I'm going now. β
"Wait, junior brother, you see that the master has been coming for thousands of miles, so you should tell the master's shadow. β
A gray-robed and bearded humanoid phantom was standing calmly in front of Fan Xiang at this time. Fan Xiang hurriedly knelt down in front of the phantom shadow that Master had come from the retreat thousands of miles away, and kowtowed three times.
Fan Xiang knelt on the crest of the Forgotten Worry River, the flame and blood marks on his forehead gradually dissipated, and the gray hair fluttering on his head gradually turned blue and black, fluttering down his shoulders.
The phantom of the old man stretched out a void hand, stroked Fanxiang's head, his eyes were cloudy, his hands trembled, and his voice was old and hoarse, "Child, you have made a catastrophe, this life is for love, and this life is for love death." Child, if your eyes are full of darkness, it is not that the world is dark, but that the light in your heart is extinguished. You can't see the world, you can't see everything, but you can't see yourself. Child...... Let's go back with the teacher. β
"Master, my life will be fulfilled by me, it is life, I come, it is death, I go, it's no big deal!" Fan Xiang stood up and looked at the phantom of this old man like his father, his eyes were desolate and tragic, "Your old man will be fine in the future, don't worry about me...... I'm going. β
Fan Xiang knocked on the ground, stood up, turned his head and looked up to face the gods in the sky, smiled indifferently, and shouted loudly: "I don't want to die humbly, and I don't want to live alone! Destroy me, then come!"
The flame and blood marks between Fanxiang's forehead gradually thickened, and the blue and black hair that fluttered down her shoulders gradually turned gray and gray, rising like smoke, and the blood in her eyes was already blazing, and she jumped up, reaching the clouds, and slashed the flame knife with thin blue flame light straight into the sky, "Come on, destroy me!"
At that moment, the huge canopy of heaven was suddenly split open by a bolt of lightning.
"Destroy me, come on!"
At that moment, the instantaneous lightning and stone fire reflected his posture, vigorous, mighty, and heroic, condensed into an eternal legend, which will still remain in the depths of your memory after tens of millions of years!
