Chapter 27: The Origin of the Rakshasas

The Yin Spirit of Rakshasa?

Hearing Chunting's words, our faces showed a contradictory look that was both clear and dazed.

Obviously, it's because we've all heard of the legendary Rakshasa's name.

And the reason for this is that we can't think of the connection between this rakshasa and our current situation.

Naturally, we are not ignorant of the legendary rakshasas.

Rakshasa is a legendary ghost pawn from the underworld, who rebukes sinners, and has supernatural powers, can fly in the air or speed on the ground, and is violent and terrifying, because of his cruel temperament, his reputation is too great, and then gradually evolved into a synonym for all evil spirits.

In the legend, the Rakshasa is divided into two races, the male Rakshasa has a black body, red hair, green eyes, and is extremely ugly, while the female Rakshasa is extremely beautiful, like a beautiful woman, full of charming power, and both male and female Rakshasas are dedicated to eating human flesh and blood, which is daunting.

In spite of this, the brutal Rakshasa vows to protect the Dharma and Dharma practitioners, so it is also the protector of Buddhism in the Buddhist scriptures, known as the Rakshasa Heaven, one of the twelve heavens, in the Buddhist scriptures, its body is in the shape of a god king, wearing armor, holding a knife in his hand, riding a white lion, and the gods are extraordinary.

It is not difficult to find from various legends that the Rakshasa is a contradictory existence, its temperament is cruel, cannibalism, and it is an indisputable evil ghost, but it also vows to protect the Dharma and Dharma practitioners, so it has become one of the protector gods in the Buddhist scriptures, which is difficult to understand.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for Chunting to mention meaningless things at this time, and since this is the case, what does his mention of Rakshasa have to do with us at this time?

Seeing our contradictory looks, Chun Ting easily saw what we were thinking, only to see him look at the pattern on the wall in front of him again, and slowly explained.

"Legend has it that Rakshasa is divided into two races, men and women, men are extremely ugly, women are extremely beautiful, because of their brutal nature, so they have become synonymous with evil ghosts, right?"

What Chunting said was no different from our perception, so we nodded our heads one after another, indicating that we had no objections.

"Actually, this is just a misinformation for thousands of years, and the real Rakshasa is not."

But unexpectedly, after seeing that we didn't deny it, Chun Ting suddenly showed a strange expression, and then he refuted what he had just said in a low tone.

"The real rakshasas, far from being cruel and cruel, are all people with great good intentions."

Xue Nan noticed the strangeness in Chunting's tone, so she slowly walked into Chunting, took her hand and said softly.

"Chunting, look at your current appearance, there must be some stories that have been buried for a long time, don't buy and sell Guanzi, our cognition of Rakshasa is, to put it bluntly, from the records seen in the book, for the truth of the facts, maybe only you understand."

Maybe it was because of the previous attack on Xue Nan that Chunting understood his mind and no longer hid his feelings, so at this moment he held Xue Nan's hands with his backhand, and then regardless of Xue Nan's red face and pretending to resist, he told us the story about Rakshasa.

"Rakshasas are indeed divided into two races, but they are not extremely ugly men, women are extremely beautiful, in fact, the Rakshasa clan is absolutely beautiful both men and women, but they are proficient in illusion and can change their appearance at will, while male Rakshasas have never shown their true appearance in front of the world, so they have left such rumors."

"In addition, the Rakshasa has a brutal temperament and cannibalism is also a rumor, and the reason why there are such rumors is actually the result of the Rakshasa clan itself."

Are these just rumors? China Library

In this land of Shenzhou, for thousands of years, regardless of men, women and children, there has long been a fixed understanding in their hearts that Rakshasa is a demon, but Chunting tells us at this moment that these are just rumors?

And, if I'm not mistaken, this rumor is not secretly slandered, but the result of the Rakshasas themselves?

So what is this Rakshasa clan for?

What an important event can make a person of a clan give up their reputation and be misunderstood by the world for thousands of years?

Seeing the puzzled and curious look on our faces, Chun Ting took Xue Nan's hand with his right hand and walked to the wall, and then stroked the pattern on the wall again with his free left hand, which told us the story of Rakshasa as if remembering.

There are many strange legends in the world, but there is no doubt that no matter what kind of legend it is, there must have been something that served as the basis for this legend in the beginning, but later generations slowly filled it in, and finally it became a story like a fantasy.

The Rakshasa clan is one of such legends, but unlike other legends, at the end of the story of their clan, it is not slowly filled by the descendants, but by the people themselves that there is the legend we know today.

Rakshasa did first appear in the Netherworld.

Legend has it that a person dies as a ghost, loses his mind after becoming a ghost, and is led to the netherworld by black and white impermanence, and then according to the good and evil done in his previous life, he will be reincarnated or punished in hell.

Although this is just a legend, it is actually true, but after most people die, they die in the netherworld, and from then on they can only live in the netherworld as ghosts, and there is no so-called reincarnation.

And because there is a boundary sea between Yin Cao and Shenzhou, once he dies, there is no possibility of returning to Shenzhou.

But there are always some people, because they have obsessions before their deaths, so they are unwilling to be trapped in the shadows after death, so they try their best to return to Shenzhou and complete their obsessions.

People and ghosts are different, if these people are allowed to return to Shenzhou, it will naturally have a great impact on Shenzhou, so Emperor Xudu is particularly attentive to this matter and sends elite soldiers to guard the side of the boundary sea.

And the birth of Rakshasa was actually an accident.

There is no shortage of powerful people in Shenzhou who have cultivated to the heavens, although they died in the netherworld, but after death, unlike the so-called lonely souls and wild ghosts, even if the rakshasa appears in the underworld, they still have their own spiritual existence.

"I'm not sure, but I've got a rough guess."

Chunting was different from us, and although he was a little hesitant to see our puzzlement, he still told us what he thought.

"The Buddha spirit is peaceful, the treasure is solemn, and the pattern in front of me, although it looks like a soldier of the Qin Dynasty, but in fact, its inner essence is like the evil ghost in the yin, if I guess correctly, there may be a rakshasa yin spirit in this pattern."

If you look at it this way, then perhaps in this pattern, there is really a terracotta warrior and a Rakshasa Yin spirit.

Vaguely, I seemed to see the eyes of this terracotta warrior move.
