Chapter 25: Terrier Awakening
"Old Xu...... Do you know the Corpse Realm? The second uncle looked at Xu Lao's expression and asked curiously.
After pondering for a while, Xu Lao said, "Buddhism is the ancient Nepalese king of Kapilawei, the prince of Gautama. Siddhartha was created, but at the beginning it was not only spread in ancient India, the Zhangzhung culture fused Buddhist ideas with local religions very early, creating Zhangzhung Buddhism that has influenced thousands of years, and it is also the origin of Tantra, so that it has a conflict with Tibetan Buddhism in later generations......"
Xu Lao's explanation made the second uncle re-understand Tibetan Buddhism, not only the Tibetan tradition we know now, the Tibetan tradition was inherited from Tibet from India in later generations, and Zhangzhung was earlier than Tubo, as early as 1000 years ago, and Shakyamuni developed a more original Zhangzhung Buddhism at about the same time.
It's a bit like Zhangxiong is a brother... Or the Buddhism of the sons, while the Tibetan Tibetan tradition is the great-grandson and great-grandchild, so the red-clothed Buddhism is far more ancient than the Tibetan Buddhism we know now, and Tibetan Buddhism is deeply influenced by Zhangzhung culture......
The concept of the corpse world originates from the most primitive Zhangzhung Buddhism, Buddhism has six reincarnations, the so-called corpse world, in fact, Tibetan Buddhism in the Asura world, that is, the devil's world.
After a person dies, or falls into hell, or ascends to the heavenly realm, or is reincarnated, all obsessions, desires, and all kinds of negative emotions should also be let go, because they think that they are great liberation, but these negative things, like filth and feces, need to have a place to accommodate them, and the place to accommodate them is the corpse world!
Xu Lao said that after Buddhism was transmitted to the Central Plains, it was also closely integrated with local Taoism, and it was actually easier to understand it with the saying of the three souls and seven spirits of Middle Earth. After death, the three souls leave the body, and the seven spirits dissipate with the decay of the corpse, in fact...... This spiritual power did not disappear, but fell into the corpse realm, which is a world full of negative emotions, grief, killing, greed, jealousy, and murder, accumulating negative energy all the time...... It is a garbage dump for the soul.
After listening to Xu Lao's explanation, the second uncle's worldview was subverted again, he always thought that the so-called underworld and hell were already the most terrifying and dark existences, but compared to the corpse world, it was nothing at all. The underworld and hell are equivalent to courts and prisons, while the corpse world is simply crematoriums and garbage heaps, and all the things that the six realms don't want are thrown into it!
"Old Xu, the two worlds of yin and yang...... It's overlapping, right? The Corpse Realm...... It's also the same as the two worlds of yin and yang, both overlapping, right? The second uncle asked curiously.
Xu Lao looked at the second uncle in surprise and said: "This is the saying of Zhangxiong Buddhism, which is very different from the understanding of the Mahayana Sutra that people know now. ”
He paused and continued: "According to Zhangxiong's Six Paths, the three worlds of the animal world, the human world, and the netherworld coincide, with the heavenly realm at the top, and the corpse realm and the hungry ghost realm at the bottom, of course..... This is all the myth of low productivity in ancient times, full of mystery, Mr. Zhu, let's stop being boring, I respect your privacy, you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but you are indeed a capable person worthy of my respect! ”
Xu Lao didn't talk to the second uncle at all, he just talked about the matter and answered what he asked, and the second uncle didn't want to take Xu Lao to Qiqihar to prove that he didn't lie. However, this time he asked for advice, but he gained a lot, at least several doubts were understood.
Just as the second uncle was on the way back from Professor Xu's house, suddenly, the heavens and the earth were distorted, everything was annihilated, and the world seemed to fall into the whirlpool of the Milky Way......
......
I suddenly woke up from my dream, sweating profusely, trembling and convulsing, and I saw an unimaginable scene in front of me!
The fragrant Qiu warm bed, the golden silk quilt, and the bed curtain embroidered with pearls and jadeites are like ...... It is the bed of the rich and noble in ancient times! What's even more incredible is that I saw a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the bed curtain, which is much more elegant than the boudoir bed where I had a tryst with Miaoyu......
The bed was tightened, and the light from the outside came in, as if it was eight or nine o'clock in the morning, where was this? I remember myself...... It's in a big coffin, and the second uncle locked me in the coffin.
I've been in his world for so long that I've forgotten who I am? Feel...... I am him, he is me, my name is Zhu Mingming...... However, there is still a trace of reason in my mind reminding: You are not called Zhu Mingming, you are called Jiang Xiaoyu, and the person you love is still waiting for you, her name is Haitang.
My mind was so confused that I felt like it was going to explode, and I slowed down for dozens of seconds...... Consciousness is clearer. I saw that I was wearing a pajamas of the ancients, and when I touched my face, I actually had a long beard and messy long hair!
Oh, my God! This is not the second uncle, the second uncle never has a beard, I ...... What's wrong with me? Could it be that after staying in the coffin long enough, the hair and beard have grown?
It's impossible, the second uncle said, I'm going to come out of the coffin in seven hundred and forty-nine days, and it is impossible for my hair to grow two feet long in a month and a half, but what calms me down a little is that my fingernails are still normal, and I don't look like zombies, but ...... Where am I now, this hand is still my own, and I don't have as many calluses as my second uncle.
Wrong! Wrong! I'm not talking to my second uncle..... Have you changed your body? Then my current hand should be the second uncle's hand, right?
"Boom! Rumble! A deafening burst of artillery rang out, and it seemed that there was a battle not far away, and the sound of shouting and killing could be faintly heard. I gasped and pulled back the bed curtains, but I saw that the room was full of gold, carved railings and jade masonry, blue and white porcelain vases, and pearl and jade incense cases...... There is also a dragon head carved on the edge of the table and chair, just like the scene of an imperial dragon's bed.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
Outside the house, a fat man in a brocade robe broke in, and when he saw me sitting on the bed, he knelt down with a "poof", and looked sad and crying, like a dead father.
"Your Majesty! Big things are not good! Thieves... The thieves are attacking the city! The fat man cried out with a sad face.
As soon as I saw that this guy was a eunuch, his mouth was hairless, white and clean, but he was still a head, similar to the dress of those fathers-in-law in the movie "Dragon Gate Inn"!
"Siege?" I was confused and muttered.
"Yes! Your Majesty! You don't agree with the thieves' demands to be kings, they ...... They ordered the siege! The Manchu Dynasty fled with all its civil and military forces, and Your Majesty ...... Let's run away! The big fat man cried to me on all fours.
Although I was still confused, I also realized the seriousness of the problem, and said in my heart, Second Uncle, you are a cheat! You are the reincarnation of Chongzhen, why did you let me be involved in this scene? What should I do in the current situation?
Everything around me is real and clear, it is not as simple as a dream, I really panicked, the cannon sound is denser, and it seems that the shouting of killing is also closer!
"Holy! Where the are you going? I got out of bed in a panic and asked nervously.
"Your Majesty! There are still 3,000 Praetorian Guards and 500 Jinyi guards in the city, as well as many eunuchs in Dongchang, all of whom are loyal to Your Majesty, and will be able to ensure that we leave the Forbidden City from the apse. The big fat man said with a fat face trembling.
"Good, good! But... What if these bastards recognize me? I wondered.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the thieves are just a group of people, how have you ever seen the face of the sky, they will definitely not recognize it, Your Majesty! Don't hesitate any longer, it's still too late to run! The big fat man kowtowed to me like garlic.
I complained about the second uncle in my heart, and I was as anxious as a headless fly, so I picked up a sword with my hand, thinking about the use of self-defense at a critical moment!
"Father! Father! But outside the house, a very beautiful middle-aged woman ran in with three little girls, all of them were brocade jade ayaluo, phoenix ornament Hua Pei, just like royal women! The temperament is overwhelming, just like a celestial person! The youngest girl is seven or eight years old, and the oldest is estimated to be fourteen or fifteen!
I've never seen them, but ..... But as if I had seen it somewhere, that middle-aged woman was not my queen, Queen Zhou? But...... I've never seen her in my life, so why is it so familiar?
"Your Majesty~~! How's that going to be this time? Queen Zhou's pear blossom cried with rain, and behind her, there were several gorgeously dressed women, all of whom were suffocatingly beautiful, but their temperament was obviously worse than that of Queen Zhou, and they were concubines.
My head was big and I shouted, "You are looking for death!" Yes? Still wearing this? I'm going to film, hurry up and change into the clothes of the common people, didn't you hear what the prince said! That's right! Hurry up! Get some pot black and wipe it on your face, make yourself as ugly as possible, let's all escape, and then find a place to round! ”
As soon as they heard me say this, several women were all stunned, looking at each other, and Queen Zhou hugged a few children and woke up, and hurriedly commanded: "Yes, yes, yes!" Hurry up and do what His Majesty says! ”
A few women immediately moved, I frowned, clicked my lips, princess? How do I know his surname is Wang? Why did you just come here?
"But, mother, where are we going to find the people's clothes?" A woman cried and said, I recognized it at once, this is Zheng Guifei, I love her very much.
"You're stupid, aren't there people who cook on the fire? Those old women's clothes, put them on! I said with a pout.
Several people looked at me incredulously, as if my proposal had no actionability.
The prince was still clever, and said to a few women: "Ladies and daughters, go to the apse first, and the old slave will go and gather what he needs!" Then catch up with the masters. ”
"Okay, Wang Chengen, you must move quickly!" Empress Zhou told her to retreat with the three princesses and many concubines.
Wang Chengen? As soon as I heard these three words, more memories in my mind woke up, as if there was indeed such a person who had been serving me.
At the moment when the memory spread, for a moment, I felt as if I was possessed by an evil spirit, and I couldn't help my speech and limbs!
"Slut! Hold it! I shouted, hurried forward, and stabbed my favorite Concubine Zheng to death with a sword!
PS: Pay attention to the title of this chapter, as well as the content of chapters 25 and 26. Basically, there is a lot of foreshadowing in each chapter, and some of them may be missed if you don't read them carefully.
In addition, I try to release it regularly at 8 o'clock in the morning every day, and as soon as it is released, everyone reads it early, because many chapters are blocked by the system not long after they are released. I guess it will take some time before the ban is lifted
