Chapter 239: Higher Beings
Hong Yi looked at the lecturer, a person who looked very young, or couldn't tell his age at all, there was a light and shadow behind this person's head, he looked beautiful, and this person's appearance was extremely strange, like a man, like a woman, and not like a person, Hong Yi didn't know how to describe it.
Obviously, no one cared about Hong Yi's arrival, those monsters were still listening to the lecture in a daze, and the person on the high platform was also constantly reciting scriptures that Hong Yi couldn't understand.
It didn't seem appropriate to rush up and disturb the other party, so Hong Yi thought about it and simply sat down and listened to this scripture like those monsters.
Listening carefully, Hong Yi immediately felt that there was a difference, although he couldn't understand what words the other party was reciting, but in the environment of this chanting, he felt comfortable physically and mentally, and in a trance, Hong Yi seemed to have returned to the days when his father was still there.
At that time, I didn't have to worry about anything, I lived a comfortable life, I was in a rich area, I received the best education, I didn't have to worry about food supplies, and there were always some admirers around me.
Just like Wang Xin, she follows her all day long, and she almost regards herself as an idol.
This is the life of a normal person, don't worry about anything, just live every day happily, and the weird thing is that this experience is extremely real, so real that Hong Yi can't distinguish what is the real world.
Is it a complex and dangerous world, or is it a peaceful world?
It's just that as time goes by, Hong Yi gradually forgets those memories, and he prefers to survive in this quiet and peaceful world. Time passes, ten years pass.
At this moment, Hong Yi has completely integrated into this life, and tomorrow, he will marry Wang Xin, a beautiful woman. It was a happy and joyful day for him.
But somehow, Hong Yi just felt that something was wrong, he left in the middle of the drinking party, and then went alone to a clearing behind him, lay on a chair, and looked up at the sky.
A gentle breeze blows. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers and plants around him, Hong Yi suddenly recalled a memory, a 'memory' that had almost been forgotten by him.
It's just very strange, although he knows that there is such a memory, but Hong Yi can't remember what it is, which makes him quite difficult, but the more he wants to recall, the more he can't remember.
Finally, Hong Yi remembered. That memory is a dream I had ten years ago, in which my father disappeared, I fell from heaven to hell, and the gentle Wang Xin also betrayed me, and I only experienced pain and torture.
Shook his head. Hong Yi took a deep breath and said, "It's a dream after all, but fortunately, it's just a dream." And it's still so painful, in that case, it's okay to forget it, so why remember it? β
This question is Hong Yi asking himself.
He didn't know why he had to think of such an uncomfortable memory.
"Since you have to forget. Just forget about it! Hong Yi looked at the party being held in the building not far away, and thought to himself, this is his life.
Thinking of this, he was about to get up and go back.
But instead of sitting up, he hesitated again.
"Why. It was obviously just a dream, not real at all, why do I still remember it! Hong Yi muttered to himself, pulling his hair with his hands in some pain.
There was a fountain pool in front, the fountain had stopped, the water surface was calm, Hong Yi walked over, wanting to wash his face with water to calm down.
Just as he looked over, he saw his own reflection on the water.
Although that reflection is also his own appearance, he is obviously more resolute, and his expression is more decisive, just like a warrior who has experienced countless battles.
Looking at his reflection, Hong Yi was stunned for a while, especially looking at his eyes in the reflection, which seemed to be like a switch, clicking, and all kinds of memories rushed out like water breaking the embankment in an instant.
Those memories that have been forgotten by oneself, those living experiences, all emerge.
Hong Yi could only close his eyes tightly, and only after the wave of memories dissipated did he slowly open his eyes, but this time, what he saw was still the strange temple, surrounded by all kinds of monsters, and the strange monk on the high platform in front of him was still chanting.
Hong Yi took a deep breath, he knew who he was, and he knew what had just happened, so he could say that he was almost defeated by that weakness in his consciousness.
Anyone has weaknesses, anyone will feel scared and helpless, but most of the time, people will choose to hide and conceal these emotions, but just now, that emotion suddenly exploded, and somehow let himself fall into a very real illusion, almost trapped in it, unable to extricate himself, if it weren't for Hong Yi's strong mind and insistence on his true self, he would probably spend his life in that safe and gentle township.
Why I am like this, most of it has something to do with this scripture.
Hong Yi immediately stood up, staring at the monk who was lecturing on the high platform, and at this moment, the latter's eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and he seemed to stare at Hong Yi with a color that saw through everything, and then a meaningful smile appeared on the monk's face.
At this time, Hong Yi heard someone behind him speak: "It is remarkable to be able to recognize the true self, distinguish the true from the false, and sober up in the Bliss Sutra." β
Hong Yi hurriedly looked back, but he was dumbfounded, and an extreme chill appeared in his heart, because he saw a person standing less than two meters behind him.
This person is the one who recites on the high platform.
Hong Yi glanced back again, the monk on the high platform was still there, so what was this behind him?
Hong Yi knows that there is a twin in this world, and even humans have similar cloning technology, which can use some cell tissues to completely replicate a person.
Could it be that the monk in front of him is the same?
Hong Yi felt that it was not that simple, and with his own perception ability, it was a small insect crawling behind him, he could feel it, but this person was standing behind him, if he hadn't spoken out, he would never have found out.
"I know you're surprised, don't look at me with that strange look, honestly, I can see through your thoughts, and besides, I'm very interested in you, now, you can choose to come with me, or you can choose to leave on your own, rest assured, no one will stop you, but in that case, you will never want to leave this hellish space." After the monk finished speaking, he turned around and left directly, but the other party's words had already sealed Hong Yi's retreat, and he seemed to know why Hong Yi came and what he wanted to do, so Hong Yi thought about it and could only follow the other party out.
The monk went around a place to a tiled house and sat down on a stone platform at the door.
Hong Yi looked around, simply sat on the ground directly, and came face to face with the other party.
"Who are you, and why do you know what I'm going to do?" Hong Yi took the lead and asked out loud. After experiencing a fantasy experience of true and false, Hong Yi recognized his true self and could stick to his heart, and to put it more plainly, that is, Hong Yi's willpower has reached an extremely strong point.
In Hong Yi's heart, he has already regarded the monk in front of him as an enemy, and the other party uses the way of chanting scriptures to make people's willpower collapse, magnify the weakest and timid part of consciousness, and enter a kind of illusion that is difficult to peel off. Those monsters sat there one by one in a daze, probably entering some kind of illusion, unless they woke up like themselves, they would sink into that illusion forever.
This is obviously not a good intention, so Hong Yi will regard this monk as an enemy.
The monk didn't seem to care about Hong Yi's hostility, but said: "Who I am, even if I tell you, you won't understand, you and I are fundamentally two levels of existence, uh, in your human language, it can be described like this, I look at you, just like you look at ants, if one day, when an ant asks you who you are, do you think, do you need to make it clear to it?" β
After hearing this, Hong Yi only felt chills all over his body.
He naturally knew what this monk meant, although ants and humans are both living beings, but obviously, in terms of evolutionary level, ants are much worse than humans, and they are fundamentally two levels of existence, and ants will never understand people's thoughts.
That's what the monk was trying to say.
But the next moment, Hong Yi was unconvinced, but the monk said: "If it were you and you wanted to crush an ant to death, do you think that ant would be able to resist?" β
When Hong Yi heard this, he immediately felt a little weak, and naturally he didn't dare to act rashly.
"I came to you because you have a strong willpower, which means that you have the possibility and potential to become a higher life, and it is also my duty to discover and guide a higher life, oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is 'Tibet', in ancient times, you humans regarded me as a god and called me Jizo Bodhisattva, of course, there are many similar names, but in essence, I am a higher life."
"You must be very curious, what is a higher life, but before I answer for you, you must first figure out what life is, in your human cognition, life is a living creature, but in fact this cognition is too narrow, but this is not to blame you, after all, the height of the station is different, just like you see me now, and you also see me in the previous lecture, you must think that twins, or replicants, but in fact it is not what you think at all, everything here, including yourself, including you see me, It's just a faΓ§ade, the real focus is on your consciousness, your thinking, which is the essence of life.
