Chapter 182: The Idea of the Kingdom of God on Earth
"What's so strange about that?" Bai Juyi said disapprehantly: "Li Bai is my idol, and he is also the person I want to surpass all my life, so naturally I will not sit back and watch others slander him." As for Yang Guifei, although she has been dead for many years, she has always lived in my heart, and the love between her and Tang Xuanzong is also the most beautiful love in the world, and it will never fade. β
is arrogant and free, but it is difficult to hide his admiration for Li Bai.
Therefore, he felt the beauty of Yang Guifei from Li Bai's poems, so that the love between Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong was regarded as the most beautiful color in the world.
"I admit Li Bai's literary brilliance and agree with your admiration for him, but to say the love between Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong, when you really know the truth, you may be very disappointed." The Lunatic Cult Master shook his head and said.
In this regard, Bai Juyi blew up his hair and said: "You are a person who doesn't believe in beauty in your heart and always questions beautiful things, I have seen too much, and I don't bother to argue with you about anything." If you have time, you can follow us to find out, and I promise you'll be able to appreciate how earth-shattering that story was at the beginning. β
Of course, if you firmly believe in one thing, when you fall into paranoia, the truth will no longer make sense.
He even ignored what the Moon Worship Sect Master had said before, that he had participated in the Feast of Bliss, and also ignored whether Li Bai had seen Yang Guifei.
If it is said that the Moon Worship Sect Master is in the dark, no longer believes in the beauty of the world, and does not believe in love, then Bai Juyi is too naΓ―ve, too much believing in beauty, and wishful thinking overlooks the so-called love - both of them are confused, paranoid, and belong to a state of unconsciousness.
However, Li He saw through it, but he didn't say it.
Enlightening a person is not something that can be done with just a few words, but you have to really touch that person's heart in order to break through the obstacles.
"Okay, Poor Dao will also take a look." Li He said with a smile.
Then, he and the Moon Worship Sect Master, Bai Juyi, and Kukai searched for clues about Yang Guifei and the demon cat, and on the way, Kukai asked Li He: "Dao Chang is also a cultivator, I don't know if you have ever found a way to stop yourself from suffering?" β
One of the main characters of the original book, Kukai, a monk from the Wa Kingdom, is a practitioner who travels to the Tang Dynasty to seek liberation.
His mana is negligible, but his realm is not low, roughly equivalent to the version of Tang Sanzang in the Wa Kingdom.
A large part of the Tang Dynasty culture that he learned was brought by him from the Tang Dynasty.
"No, because of the poor way, there is no pain at all." Li He shook his head and said, "I don't know why you are suffering, but if you can't see through your own pain in your heart, but you want to find a way to eliminate your suffering from Buddhism, and you don't practice Buddhism, you also know that the Buddha can't help you." β
Hearing this, Kukai immediately asked, "Why?" β
If it is a low-level person, he will definitely feel that Li He is a Buddha everywhere and belittles the Dharma, but he can see that Li He is not talking about Buddha, but about him Kuhai.
It's not that the Buddha can't eliminate suffering, it's that he can't be transformed by the Buddha.
"In my Taoism, you have a mental obstacle in this situation, and you can't solve it, and you won't be comfortable no matter how you practice, and you won't be able to get away with it." Li He smiled and said: "In the Buddhist family, there is an obsession, because I don't know how to let go, so I can't be liberated, and I can't even cross the Buddha." β
Hearing this, Kukai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"The Taoist cultivator, the Dharma doesn't seem to be low?" Bai Juyi next to him spoke.
"Cultivating the Tao and cultivating the Buddha are all the principles of the world, and the avenues are different and the same end, how can there be such a strict division?" Li He shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, sometimes when the poor Dao sees mortals conjecturing the 'Tao and Buddha Dispute', he really wants to laugh - the Tao, the Buddha, the Lord, etc., the direction of the root of all beliefs is the nature of heaven and earth, the universe itself, and it is one, but there are deviations due to different understandings of people, so why not dispute each other?" β
Taoism believes in the Three Qings, but in fact, the Three Qings are only the appearance, and the "Tao" itself is the belief of the cultivators.
Buddhism believes in Shakyamuni, but in fact, the Buddha is just a person who has become a Buddha, he is a "Buddha", "Buddha" is not only him, the "Buddha" in the macro sense is enlightenment, is the understanding of everything in man and heaven and earth, and the "Tao" is the same thing.
Even the Lord and God are only imaginary, the Lord of heaven and earth.
In fact, there is no ruler of heaven and earth, the universe is the universe, and it is He who is believed.
Therefore, Li He may scold certain monks or godfathers, or he may beat a certain plane of God, or a certain world's Buddha, but he will not question or belittle the "Buddha" itself.
"The universe? That's huge. The Lunatic Cult Master said suddenly.
I don't know what suddenly came to his mind.
The four of them searched all the way, and soon found the diary that recorded the feast of bliss that year.
Just like in the original book, at the beginning, there was something about the Feast of Bliss, which made Bai Juyi and Kukai fascinated, but soon, when they saw Ma Weiyi's matter, the two of them began to feel heartache. Especially when they figured out everything and knew that the so-called "autopsy Dafa" was actually deceiving Yang Guifei to die willingly, both of them had a feeling of near collapse.
It's like a Condor fan, who suddenly found out that Guo Jing and Huang Rong had no true love, Guo Jing killed Huang Rong and occupied the family property on Peach Blossom Island and married another woman to pretend to be Huang Rong.
The idol collapsed and the faith was shattered, which made Bai Juyi and the others a little loveless for a while.
"I just said, there is no love in this world at all." Lunatic Worship Leader.
However, this was not said to Bai Juyi, but to Li He.
In this regard, Li He smiled and shook his head: "Just looking at these can't prove anything, even if you saw it with your own eyes, you still ignored many details. β
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and directly used illusion to construct the feast of bliss thirty years ago.
is different from the illusions of Bailong and Danlong, and the illusions he uses mana to cast can truly simulate everything back then: there, after Li Bai wrote "Yun Xiang Clothes and Flowers Want to Look", he denied that it was a poem written for Yang Guifei, and he was afraid that he might offend the noble lady and the emperor because of this, and he still denied it.
Because it really isn't.
In his words, it is "you can't lie to your mother", and it seems that her emotional intelligence is negative.
But in fact, this is him, the same on the outside, not hypocritical, not flattering, Li Bai, worthy of being a poet!
And Yang Guifei was not angry, but said "Datang is great with you".
It is precisely because of this bearing that Li Bai looked at her back and said again, "Yun wants clothes, flowers want to look".
"When Li Bai wrote poems, it was just a fantasy, but after seeing Yang Guifei, he found that the person in his fantasy was against Yang Guifei!" Li He said to Bai Juyi: "Your idol has not dropped the price, and the truth is not unacceptable, but more beautiful than what you know." β
When Bai Juyi heard this, he said with emotion: "I see, I can't be born thirty years early!" β
Then, the picture turned again, jumping to Ma Weiyi, the day before everyone deceived Yang Guifei to die.
Tang Xuanzong hugged Yang Guifei, and everyone thought that they would see something indescribable, but they only saw Tang Xuanzong tossing and turning and couldn't sleep all night. Not only that, after Yang Guifei was buried, Tang Xuanzong also suffered from insomnia for a long time, and he didn't sleep well until he died.
"Why? Since there is no love, why should you suffer for the concubine? The Moon Worship Sect Master frowned.
"Love exists in anyone, but some people love deeply, and some people love coldly. Ordinary people's feelings can't even resist firewood, rice, oil and salt, most of the sea oaths and mountain alliances have lost to reality, Tang Xuanzong is the same, in his position, he is not only burdened with the throne, but also the Tang Dynasty, it is normal to give up the beloved woman for the sake of the country, and it is really ridiculous to waste the Tang Dynasty for the sake of the woman! Li He said, and said: "Of course, the poor road is not to whitewash him, right and wrong can't change the ruthless nature of the emperor, I just want to say that he has love for Yang Guifei, but that love is not deep enough, not enough for him to give up everything for this." β
Didn't Tang Xuanzong love Yang Guifei?
Among all living beings, those who have turned their backs on love have no love in their hearts?
"There is a shackle that cannot be freed, and this is the real pain." Kukai said.
Then, Li He used illusion to release the picture of the black cat scratching Tang Xuanzong's eyes, which shattered the beautiful legend and let Bai Juyi and the three of them see the sachet that Tang Xuanzong was holding. That was the last thing he had left, and beyond that, there was nothing left.
"This black cat, is it the cat demon?" Bai Juyi said.
Li He nodded when he heard this.
"Well, I'll admit, there's still such a thing as 'love' in this world." The Moon Worship Sect Master suddenly said, "However, Brother Dao, you have confirmed its existence, but at the same time, you have also confirmed that it is not eternal, nor beautiful, nor is it tenacious enough, and it is easy to be defeated. This kind of unfirm love is more sad than nothing. β
It is better not to confirm the existence of love, but to make it no longer great.
Because in the imagination, the real "love" still has not appeared.
"Poor Dao said, love is cool and deep, but different people, their love is different." Li He said, turned the picture again, and played the scene where the white dragon turned into a demon cat: it was obvious that Yang Guifei was dead, but he still couldn't bear to let her be violated by the poisonous Gu, so that he sucked all the poisonous Gu into his body, and exchanged his life for the integrity of Yang Guifei's body.
This kind of behavior made the Moon Worship Sect Master very puzzled.
"That's why he turned into a demon cat and began to take revenge on the person who killed the concubine?"
The Moon Worship Sect Master had participated in the Feast of Bliss thirty years ago and had seen the Danlong and the White Dragon with his own eyes, so when he saw the demon cat for the first time, he knew that "the cat is not a cat", but a white dragon. However, it wasn't until Li He presented the cause and effect that he discovered that there was such a hidden secret.
As for Bai Juyi and Kukai, they were already stupid at this time, and their brains were stunned and couldn't say anything anymore.
"It seems that I was really wrong, there is love in this world." As he spoke, the Moon Worship Sect Master suddenly burst into pure white light.
With the wide robe and the open arms, he was like God for a while.
In other words, at this moment, he is "God": the light shines on the entire Chang'an City, Chen Yunqiao in panic has settled down, Chunqin has become no longer demonic, and Tang Xuanzong, who has been buried for many days, has turned into a smile in pain.
In the temple, Danlong, who had escaped into the empty gate and became Master Huiguo, also felt the pain and leave him.
The demon cat was also shrouded in light, and the light and shadow flashed, and it became a white dragon again.
Bai Juyi was even more determined to be "not a word", and Kukai also saw through his heart, and his peace of mind was no longer painful...... Because of the light released by the Moon Worship Sect Master, everyone was blessed, and the only thing that did not change was Yang Guifei, who was lying quietly, as if she was asleep.
Li He didn't know what the other world was, but he saw that among the people involved in the "Demon Cat", the highest was actually Yang Guifei.
She achieved true peace of mind.
Because I grew up in my uncle's house when I was a child, I will remember the goodness of others bit by bit, and I will treat everyone leniently, even if she collides face-to-face like Li Bai, she will not be angry, but thinks that Datang has a straightforward "poet immortal" like Li Bai, which is really amazing.
In her heart, a person with literary talent is nothing, and he is great if he has a backbone.
In Ma Weiyi, she actually saw through everything at a glance, and even guessed her ending a long time ago. But he knew, but he didn't break it, nor did he run away, but pretended not to know, and used his own death to fulfill Li Longji and the Tang Dynasty.
This is truly great love.
In contrast, the love of the white dragon is a kind of paranoia and a kind of obstacle.
"Congratulations to Daoyou, once you had an epiphany, you became an immortal, and from now on you will live forever with the sky, and there will be no more ties." Li He said with a smile.
And the Moon Worship Sect Master bowed down to him and said, "The grace of the guide is not recompensable, but if you want it in the future, you can come to me." β
The conversation between the two made Bai Juyi and Kuhai sound like a fog.
However, they could hear that the Moon Worship Sect Master had become an "immortal" under the guidance of Li He.
The same immortal as the enlightened Buddha.
"I really didn't expect that Kukai couldn't ask for Buddha, but you saw a true immortal." Bai Juyi said.
In response to this, Kukai shook his head and said, "I have also seen the Buddha, it is me, everyone is their own Buddha, and I can liberate myself." I think that in the future, I will no longer be confused, I will no longer be miserable, and I don't even need to deliberately practice anymore, because life is a part of cultivation. β
β¦β¦
When Li He and the Moon Worship Sect Master returned to Nanzhao Kingdom, there was already a small follower behind him.
It was the White Dragon.
With nowhere else to go, he joined the Lunatic Cult.
"I used to want to destroy this loveless world, but now, I have found that there is love in this world, and it would be nice to create a world of extreme love that only the people I love can enter." The Lunatic Master said.
In this regard, Bai Long shook his head and said, "The Buddha has not created a real Elysium, even if you have become an immortal, I am afraid it will be difficult." β
"Not necessarily." Li He also became interested, and said: "There is a way to open up a small world here in the poor road, if you can find the Five Elements Spirit Bead again, it may not be impossible to open up a 'human kingdom' that only your loved ones can enter." Moreover, the poor Dao also needs to use the power of this human kingdom to verify a matter above the Nine Heavens, on the edge of the world. β
