Chapter 190: Phaselessness (II)
Ye Da walked towards Tang Yu and Prajnisen: "You two shouldn't exist in the first place, and since they exist, there shouldn't be your place in this world, so you have to stay too." β
Praruo Nisen was silent, no one knew what he was thinking, and Tang Yushi was looking at Tang Qianlin.
At this moment, Tang Qianlin was staring at the door intently, struggling in his heart.
Tang Qianlin suddenly asked: "If, I mean if, I enter this door with a bronze plate, will the world collapse because of this?" β
Ye Da shook his head: "Although it won't, you will become the second him." β
Ye Da said and pointed to Liu Mouzheng.
He Chenxue hugged the child and said excitedly: "I want to go back!" Let me go back! I don't want to stay here! β
Liu Mouzheng looked at He Chenxue and said, "You should go back with Tang Qianlin, he will take care of you and the child." β
"Fuck off! β you hypocrite! Big liar! He Chenxue scolded, "You lied to me!" You've been deceiving me from beginning to end! β
Tang Qianlin watched all this without waves, looking at the dead circle in front of him.
Originally, it was Liu Mouzheng who used He Chenxue to deceive Tang Qianlin, and Tang Qianlin, in order to take revenge, entered another world through the Shaman Spirit Palace, replaced Liu Mouzheng, set up a bureau to deceive He Chenxue, and deceived another self.
Probably this is the so-called cause and effect, and where is right and wrong in cause and effect?
Liu Mouzheng looked at the bronze plate in his hand, hesitated, and finally handed the bronze plate to Tang Qianlin, and then turned around and walked towards the door.
Tang Qianlin stepped forward to stop him: "What do you want to do?" β
"Without the Bronze Plate, I would no longer be able to travel through these ten worlds, and I would not have caused the collapse of the world." Liu Mou was looking at the door, "Non-bronze plate holders, after entering this door, it will become fragmented, my companions in that world are all dead because of me, I should go to accompany them now, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." β
Hearing this, Tang Qianlin couldn't help but put down his hand to stop Liu Mouzheng.
When Liu Mou was about to walk into that door, he stopped again, turned to look at He Chenxue, and said with tears in his eyes: "You know what? You are the most loved person in my life, until death. β
He Chenxue hugged Tang Zicheng and turned her head away from looking at him, but An Ran, who was standing beside her, clearly saw the tears falling from her eyes.
For whom did she weep? Jiufang sand? Tang Qianlin from the world of A? Or is it Tang Qianlin in this world?
No one knows, just like no one knows what He Chenxue is thinking except for the real Liu Mouzheng.
Everyone watched Liu Mou walk into the door, getting farther and farther away, and with each step, part of his body disappeared.
"I thought I could be reborn like the Buddha's eight phases, but who knew that I had just built a prison for myself that I could never leave in a constant cycle." Liu Mouzheng left this sentence when he left.
When Liu Mouzheng and Ma Tong founded the sect, they racked their brains for the name of the sect.
Ma Tong saw the "Ten Phases of Freedom" from the Buddhist scriptures, although he didn't understand what it meant, but he liked the word "Freedom", and decided to name it "Freedom Gate" or "Ten Phases Gate". β
Liu Mouzheng said: "It's better to call it 'Eight Phases Gate', right?" β
Ma Tong was puzzled: "What do you mean?" β
Liu Mouzheng explained: "The eight phases mean the eight stages of Shakyamuni Buddha's life β descending to the Buddha Buddha's lifeβdescending to the Buddha's life, holding the child, being born, becoming a monk, subduing demons, attaining enlightenment, turning the wheel, and nirvana. β
Ma Tong shook his head and didn't understand.
Liu Mouzheng said: "Nirvana is a reduction rate, everything is just a cycle. β
So, there is an eight-phase door.
In shamanism in northern China, the universe is divided into three realms, the upper realm is the gods, the middle realm is the human realm, and the lower realm is the demons.
The divine realm is where the gods dwell, the lower realm is the place where the devil dwells, and the middle realm is the place where man and nature coexist.
Among these three realms, the upper and lower realms are regarded as multi-layered existences, that is, there are 17 layers of heaven and 9 layers of the lower realm.
If a god falls below the 17th floor of the Upper Realm, he will fall into the Lower Realm and become a demon; And if the demons in the Nether have good intentions and pass the layers of tests to reach the last layer of the Nether, they can go to the Heavenly Realm.
Among the Three Realms, only the Middle Realm is eternal, but the Middle Realm has something that the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm do not have, that is, time, which makes the Middle Realm cycle from the origin of nature to the destruction of nature, and a cycle is "ten days", each day is called - the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, the thunder, the wind, the fire, the mountains, the forest, and the water.
Later, some scholars believed that the "ten days" in shamanism corresponded to the ten heavenly stems.
But it's another cycle.
Tang Qianlin stood there with a bronze plate for a long time, and finally took a step towards the door.
β¦β¦
Many years later, now, in front of the bookstore next to the local theater outside the old road in Harbin.
A man in a leather jacket got out of the car, stopped a cleaner next to him and asked, "Excuse me, let me inquire, where is the Qianlin Book House?" β
The cleaner shook his head: "There is no book house here." β
At this time, another cleaner who was eating baked cakes next to him said: "There is a billiard room next to it, go inside, it seems to be a book house in the alley, I don't know if it's the one you are looking for." β
The man thanked him, walked into the billiard room, inquired again, and walked through the billiard room to the back alley.
As soon as he entered the back alley, the man saw a sign hanging on a tree, which read, "Qianlin Book House, turn left 10 meters ahead".
The man walked to the door of the bookstore, which was not as big as the bubble tea shop, and carefully looked at the words "Qianlin Bookstore" written on it.
At this time, a fashionably dressed girl came out of the house, and the man stepped forward and said, "Hello, let me inquire, may I ask if this is Qianlin Library, right?" β
The girl nodded: "Yes, you're here to find my grandfather, right?" β
The man took out a book: "Excuse me, is this "Eight Phases Gate" written by your grandfather, Mr. Li?" β
The girl took it and said with a smile: "Yes, the old man's lifelong wish is to publish books, and he has sent countless book companies and publishing houses, but they have all been returned, there is no way, he paid for 2,000 copies at his own expense, what?" Are you a fan of his books? β
The man said, "Yes, forget it, I want to meet your grandfather, is he there?" β
The girl said, "Inside, telling stories to a group of children, go ahead, he's quite happy to talk to people, especially his own book lovers." β
The man nodded and walked into the bookstore, while the girl turned to leave.
When the man walked into the bookstore, he saw a group of 15- or 16-year-old children around the innermost table in the bookstore.
There are all kinds of books in the bookstore, most of them are ancient books, many of them are the kind of books that people don't want to touch now, and there are some strange things on the rightmost table.
As the man walked past the cabinet, he found a bronze plate on it, and he immediately stopped.
At this time, the old man inside pulled his eyes down and said, "You're here to buy something, right?" β
The man was just about to answer, but the old man smiled again: "Wait a while, I'll finish telling the story to this group of children, and you can watch it slowly by yourself." β
The man smiled and nodded, continuing to look at the bronze plate.
After the old man spoke for a while, he said: "That's all for today, this story is over here, and the answers you want are all in my book." β
As he spoke, the old man picked up his own.
One of the children asked, "Grandpa Li, I have a problem. β
The old man said, "You say." β
The child glanced at the others around him: "What is love?" β
The rest of the children laughed, and the boy looked embarrassed, and the man in the leather jacket turned his head curiously to see how the old man answered.
The old man said, "Love? To put it simply, it's an attraction. β
The children obviously didn't understand, but some of the children nodded there in a pretended deep sense.
Another girl asked, "Grandpa Li, what happened later?" Tang Qianlin, what happened to them? β
The old man sighed slightly: "Later, many people forgot about this incident later, and no one knew about these things that happened at that time, as if nothing had happened. Ye Da and Xia Shuang, Tang Yushi and that Praruo Nisen all stayed in the Shaman Spirit Palace, and Li Yunfan, after he came back, joined the Anti-Japanese Federation, and later became the glorious People's Liberation Army, which is my father! β
A boy didn't believe it: "Is it really fake?" β
The old man said, "This is what my father told me, and he will not lie!" β
The girl asked again, "What about He Chenxue and her son?" β
The old man said: "I heard my father say that He Chenxue and his son went to Chongqing, but then there was no news, some people said that they went to Taiwan, whether it is true or not, I don't know." β
All the children nodded, and the previous boy asked again, "What about Tang Qianlin?" β
The old man took a sip of tea: "Tang Qianlin? It was many years before my father met Tang Qianlin, and Harbin was liberated at that time, do you know when Harbin was liberated? β
The boy replied, "In 1949." β
A group of children next to him stretched out their hands to pat him on the head, and the girl said: "Our Harbin was liberated in 1946, and New China was established in 1949 ......."
When Tang Qianlin woke up, it was already the summer of 1946, and when he woke up, he was in the grass on the bank of the Songhua River.
At that time, it had been several months since the liberation of Harbin was declared.
The groggy Tang Qianlin stood by the river, looking at the other side, there was no tension anymore, there was peace everywhere, there were people singing and dancing on the street, and everywhere was full of happiness and joy.
Tang Qianlin walked alone on the road, and found that everything around him was so unfamiliar, and after seeing those banners on the street, he wondered: "Liberated? β
Tang Qianlin stopped the passerby, pointed to the words on it and asked, "What does this mean?" β
Passers-by smiled and said, "Comrade, are you from out of town?" Harbin has been liberated. β
As he spoke, passers-by left with a smile and shook their heads.
Tang Qianlin stood there, listening to the chats of passers-by and listening to their feelings, and from their conversations, he knew that almost six years had passed, and it was now July 1946, almost three months since the liberation of Harbin, which was also the first major city in China to be liberated.
Tang Qianlin was walking, and several people in military uniforms next to him stepped forward, saluted and said, "Fellow, what do you do?" β
"Me?" Tang Qianlin didn't know how to answer, "I, I'm passing by." β
A soldier said: "Fellow, listen to your accent, you are not a local, right?" β
Tang Qianlin nodded: "Yes, I'm from Guannei, may I ask who you are?" β
The soldier said: "We are from the Military Management Commission. β
Because Tang Qianlin didn't know where he came from or what he did, and was worried that he was an enemy agent, he was taken back by the people of the Military Management Committee, but no matter how the people of the Military Management Committee asked him, he couldn't say why.
He knew that even if he told him the truth about what he had been through, who would believe it?
However, he didn't expect that he would see Li Yunfan in the military management committee.
