Chapter 17: The Heavenly Destiny
“...... How can there be such a thing?"
Fei Yuexian was dumbfounded when she heard this, and felt that everything she had remembered since she had been smashed over. Reincarnation is not the normal fate of ghosts, this ...... How can it be? Could it be that all ghosts are desperately trying to continue to exist, but in the end they are destined to die and cannot exist in heaven and earth?
"Don't be funny! You're already dead, you've all died once, why are you so afraid of death? Wen Quzhi shook his head and said: "What's more, every time you are reincarnated, three souls replace one, and after three times, you will be completely different people, even if there is reincarnation, you will eventually die...... And even if there is no replacement of the three souls, after reincarnation, how many of them can awaken the memories of their previous lives? It's just a very few, right? It's as strong as an overlord, and when they are reincarnated, they are all in a mess, and they almost can't wake up, let alone others. How can reincarnation be considered a new life?"
"Well...... I'm going to come out and clarify, it's completely that guy's own problem, I talked to him before, because it's more embarrassing, and he wants to save face, he didn't admit it at first, he broke the news after losing a bet with me. ”
Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh and sighed, "That guy...... At that time, he didn't understand the method of reincarnation at all, but he just swept his eyes at random, thinking that he understood, so he directly cut off his divine body and did it hard, did you understand? That guy did it hard! It was like using brain surgery, everyone else was holding a knife, and he felt good about himself, and he directly took a big knife to kill a cow, and it was also extra-large, and the result was of course not good. ”
Wen Quai, Concubine Yue's tears were stunned when they heard this, they never expected that the overlord would behead himself back then, reincarnate and reopen the hegemony, and he would do such a stupid thing at the beginning! This is simply a scandal, which greatly damaged the myth and mighty image of the overlord, but considering his personality, he will definitely not take the initiative to mention this kind of thing, no wonder it will become a secret for eternity, no one knows.
It's just that just from this sound, when the way of reincarnation was first made, I am afraid that it was not what it is now, and even, maybe there was no need to lose memory at all?
"Of course not. Xiaobai said: "You don't even need great power, as long as you step into the heavenly level, leave the mortal and non-human, and condense the primordial spirit, you can step into reincarnation on your own, and you will be reborn in a cycle...... The original intention of reincarnation is just to throw off the old body and turn the old into a new shell, what does it have to do with memory preservation? The so-called three souls for one is just a restriction of the Heavenly Dao, to prevent the method of reincarnation from being used as a tool for immortality, and it does not affect memory. ”
As soon as these words came out, even Wen Qu was surprised, but when he thought about it, the law of reincarnation that he understood had nothing to do with memory or anything, that is, he tried to throw away the Dharma body and step into reincarnation, and there was nothing that would move to the memory in the process, so he could be reincarnated with his memory.
originally thought that the loss of memory was the influence of the reincarnation channel, no matter what the big person was, as long as he passed through the reincarnation channel, he would naturally lose his memory and become a new student, but from Xiaobai's tone, it didn't seem to be the case, at least at the beginning, it wasn't like this, so, what was the true appearance of reincarnation before eternity?
How did reincarnation become what it is today? If it wasn't providential, then ...... What created the "man-made disaster"?
"That must have happened when the heavens were first created...... At that time, all the spirits of heaven and earth separated from their bodies after death, fell into the ghost world, and turned into ghosts...... It's not all, as you know, there are a lot of them that just disappear, where the hell came from?"
Xiaobai smiled very weirdly, but Fei Yue's tears were understood, what she had been accustomed to since she was a child, after Wen Quzhi and Xiaobai revealed the truth, they all seemed to have a different appearance at the moment.
After the death of creatures, many of them disappeared directly, this is not accidental, but an important design of the Heavenly Dao, the original death of the Heavenly Dao is a complete extinction, and there is nothing to keep, only those who have not been stopped by the first design, the divine soul will condense into ghosts, so most of the ghosts are mutilated, because even if they are lucky enough to cross the design of the Heavenly Dao, they will have to pay a huge price, often only obsession is left, condense some fragments, and become ghosts.
And the existence of the underworld is the second weight of the Heavenly Dao design. However, all ghost things, except for a very small number of people who have gained the right time and place, can inhabit and cultivate in the special spiritual land of the original world after death, most of them will fall into the ghost world, wander in the endless underworld, and enter the second level of destruction against ghosts.
Xiaobai said: "When a creature dies, it becomes a ghost if it is not completely extinguished, just like garbage that has not been burned, and it needs to be treated a second time, the underworld...... It is not the return of ghosts at all, from the very beginning, it is used to eliminate ghosts, return to nothingness, and maintain the order of heaven and earth. ”
Thousands of years ago, although the Hades existed, but under the control of the previous generation of the Hades Emperor, in addition to the secret suppression of the primordial hungry ghosts, the specific meaning of the rest is unknown, the gate is closed, the Styx River surrounds, at that time there were no ferries and boatmen on the Styx, only turbulent waves and distorted space, the immortals and Buddhas are also difficult to cross, and hundreds of millions of ghosts did not go to the Hades, but on the boundless underworld, walking aimlessly, until the strength is exhausted, the wind and sand that turn into the underworld return to heaven and earth.
"This is the earliest order of heaven and earth...... One life and one death, sometimes more, sometimes less, but basically balanced, this is the manifestation of the will of the Heavenly Dao, and later ...... Somehow, it gradually became that man will conquer the sky. ”
Xiao Bai said with a smile: "The way of reincarnation was originally one of the three thousand avenues, and those who specialize in this path can use the reincarnation channel to transform their life forms, throw off the shackles of this life, and transform into different life forms, which is the original purpose of reincarnation, but ...... Why don't more people use the things that are useful? Soon some people discovered that the way of reincarnation can be used to break the law of life and death, and if there is a shortcut to such a painful thing as life and death, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
As soon as the words were broken, Concubine Yue's tears could immediately imagine the scene at that time.
Those who have achieved success in practicing the way of reincarnation can use reincarnation to have three more lives, these people themselves are already heavenly steps, with a long lifespan, and the soul retains memories during reincarnation, and the four lives are accumulated, and they can almost live the same life as heaven and earth, which can be said to take advantage of everything.
The problem is that the people around me are withering one by one, which is really uncomfortable, so many Taoist tools about reincarnation have been developed one by one to shelter some of their relatives, friends, and disciples who have not yet reached the heavenly level, and prolong their lives through reincarnation.
“...... It should be said that life will find its own way, no one wants to die, even if it is a ghost, everyone is looking for a way...... Keep surviving. The law of reincarnation is considered to be such a way out. ”
Xiao Bai said with a smile: "Heaven and earth have reincarnation, and the ghosts that should have completely died out in the never-ending yin wind of the underworld can continue to exist as long as they can enter reincarnation...... In the earliest days, there was no need to clear the sins and clear the memory, it was so cool that it was too cool......"
Wen Quzhi couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, in this case, just by listening to it, he knew that something was going to happen. So many deceased, just lost their breath here, and immediately through reincarnation, they swaggered around the world again, and even the memory can be continued, it can be imagined how chaotic that scene will be, and the division of life and death is so confused, it will never be what Heaven is happy to see.
"A bunch of heavenly steps, relying on their own ability, using all kinds of reincarnation props, for a while the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and the dead did not die, although it was quite chaotic, but the real chaos was still in the convenience of seeing it in Buddhism, and after inserting it with one foot. ”
Xiaobai sighed: "Buddhism has outstanding achievements in the way of reincarnation, and almost all of the people who took this method in the early days are great masters of Buddhism...... Hey!"
It is not difficult to imagine that Buddhism has completely joined this profession, and as a result of a large number of sentient beings, tens of millions of dead souls have been able to get rid of the sea of suffering, no longer have to suffer from the suffering of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and do not need to wander in the underworld until they die of exhaustion, and all of them can be transferred to reincarnation and reborn...... Those great Buddhas are indeed full of compassion, if this is not Pudu sentient beings, what is Pudu sentient beings?
It's just that, from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, this is simply a large amount of garbage that has been turned out of the bottom of the pit, washed and put back on the table, even if it looks like new, the new bottle is always filled with old wine, and the so-called Heavenly Dao cycle has been completely broken.
...... If this kind of thing can continue to happen in large quantities, it is not a question of whether there are ghosts or not, but that everyone does not have to be human!
“...... I don't know how long ago it was, when the Buddha opened the door of reincarnation, claiming to save all the dead souls, and even purifying all beings in the heavens, suddenly a shocking thunderstorm, for seven days and seven nights, bombarded all branches of the reincarnation channel, and also destroyed a large number of heavenly and non-heavenly steps that were being reincarnated...... Oh, I forgot to mention that at that time, the thunderstorm was together, the passage was sealed, and no one had a chance to escape, and there was no way to go in to save it. Even if it is eternal, he can't intervene, and he can only watch his disciples and grandchildren turn into ashes. ”
Xiaobai smiled, "That catastrophe...... It is the real tragedy, thousands of dead souls have disappeared, merit has turned karma into reverse, hundreds of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have been destroyed, and Buddhism has been hit by an unprecedented major impact, and it almost did not survive...... After that, Hades has become the only connection point of the reincarnation channel, and anyone who tries to connect privately is ready to be struck by lightning, and the cultivators of the path of reincarnation are basically cut off. ”
Wen Quzhi sneered: "You had so much fun, and in the end you were slapped in the face by the Heavenly Dao? From then on, you have become the only window for this business? Is this an official license? Or have you been codified by the imperial court?"
