Chapter 129: Penance
The next day, King Johan and Mrs. Maya were in the garden watching the singer dance, when in the midst of this joyful and peaceful atmosphere, suddenly a man walked in the distance.
The man was dressed in coarse cloth, barefoot, with a cane in his hand, and his hair was scattered. When the King of Pure Rice looked closely, he saw that the man was none other than his beloved son Siddhartha.
He was taken aback and asked, "My child, what happened and why did you become the way you are?" ”
Siddhartha came to his parents, gave a bow and said calmly, "Father, Mother." I'm here to say goodbye to you. ”
"Farewell?" Mrs. Maya asked
Siddhartha said, "I will never come back." ”
The King of Pure Rice asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Siddhartha replied, "I don't know, but I'm going to travel around the world and do what I have to do." ”
Mrs. Maya raised her voice and said, "My child, are you crazy? Why leave? ”
Siddhartha said, "It is my duty to ask for the salvation of the world." ”
The King of Pure Rice shouted, "I will not allow you to leave this palace even one step. You are my son, the future heir of this country. You don't think about things that don't look for boundaries! Be your prince steadily. ”
Siddhartha said, "Father, people will die eventually, but they cannot escape the shackles of fate. I am here to find the true meaning of life, to solve the mystery of life and death, so that people in the world can live forever and enjoy eternal bliss. ”
Mrs. Maya said, "Son, you can't go anywhere, so stay with me." ”
Siddhartha shook his head and said, "I am determined to leave, no one can stop me, I am the chosen one, and those are what I must do." ”
He bowed to the King of Pure Rice and Lady Maya and said, "Father, Mother, let us say goodbye." ”
After saying that, he turned away without looking back.
The King of Pure Rice shouted, "Stop him!" ”
The guards rushed up, but suddenly a white light flashed, and Siddhartha had disappeared.
When Siddhartha reappeared, he was standing in front of his bedroom window, and his wife was putting her son to sleep, and the scene was beautiful. Siddhartha couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Yang Rui appeared behind him and said: "This is the greatest nostalgia in your world, if you give up now, everything will be like nothing happened, you will still be your prince, enjoy glory and wealth until you die." ”
After Siddhartha took one last look at his wife and children, he turned to Yang Rui and said, "Teacher, let's go." ”
Yang Rui asked: "No longer nostalgic?" ”
Siddhartha strode and said, "Everything I will do in the future will be to save them, and therefore I must pay the price of parting." ”
When Yang Rui heard Siddhartha's words, he nodded slightly and said, "You finally realized." ”
Since then, there has been one less prince in this world, but one more Shamen. Siddhartha left his homeland and came to Vaishya. He went around asking people about the way to liberate the suffering of the world.
However, the answer he received was all negative, and people did not believe that there was a relief from the suffering of the world, and they preferred to care about the pleasures in front of them.
Siddhartha had no money on him, so he had to beg every time he lived, and he was already ragged and shaped like dry bones, and everyone avoided him.
However, Siddhartha was not discouraged by this, and he firmly believed that all these penances were self-training. From then on he ate only one meal every day, and until later, he ate only once every seven days, and slept on cow dung every night. I meditated on the truth of this world.
Until one day, he suddenly felt helpless, and six years passed in a flash, but he had achieved nothing, which made him feel extremely depressed. Sitting alone by the river in a daze.
At this time, Yang Rui appeared beside him and asked, "What?" Do you regret it again? ”
Siddhartha said, "Perhaps I am too young to understand the mysteries of this world. ”
Yang Rui smiled and said, "You don't have to make yourself so miserable. I know your intentions, but if you give up yourself, you may not be able to exchange for the happiness of the world. ”
Siddhartha turned to Yang Rui and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
Yang Rui said: "You are dying now, if you die, how can you save all beings in the world again?" Living well is the first priority, and the truth of the world is in the human heart, but this human heart is the most difficult to understand. ”
Siddhartha asked, "How do you read the human heart?" ”
Yang Rui smiled and said, "I don't know, but you can try." ”
Siddhartha also smiled and said, "Teacher, thank you for your teachings, I know what to do." ”
With that, Siddhartha took off his almost tattered clothes and walked into the river in front of him, washed the dirt off his body, and removed his long hair.
Yang Rui prepared clean clothes for him to wear.
Siddhartha saluted Yang Rui and said, "Teacher, let's say goodbye, and I'll take the rest of the route myself." ”
Yang Rui nodded and said, "When you go west, you will meet a peasant woman, and she will give you a bowl of goat's milk to drink to restore your health." Then, go to the tree to see if you are really destined. I'll keep watching you. ”
Siddhartha said, "Teacher, I know that you are the true God of this world, and I am only using your wisdom to save the world. ”
Yang Rui said: "Forget everything, take your own path well, and you will find that it is all worth it in the future." ”
After Siddhartha saluted again, he turned and left.
Yang Rui looked at the emaciated back, and felt a sour feeling in his heart, after all, after more than 20 years of master-apprentice friendship, he still felt sad about Siddhartha's departure.
At this time, the figure of Lucifer appeared behind him, and he stood behind Yang Rui and asked, "My master." Too much faith will blind the eyes of these worlds? ”
Yang Rui said: "No matter how many religious beliefs appear in this world, there is only one goal, and that is the unity of will. Only the unity of the will can reach the highest level of the bio-energy field, so I need religion to unify the will of the human will in order to make my power stronger. ”
Lucifer said, "But this is a little unfair to this poor man." ”
Yang Rui nodded and said, "Siddhartha is a good person, I will bless him with a safe life, and I will also let his religious theories spread to the world." But, for the sake of my will, he had to make some sacrifices. ”
Lucifer was silent for a moment and said, "Anyone? ”
Yang Rui turned his head and said firmly: "Anyone, including you!" ”
Lucifer fell on his knees and said, "Obey my master." ”
Yang Rui sighed and said, "Let's go, the appearance of humans is enough for me to be busy." ”
Lucifer asked, "Where are we going?" ”
Yang Rui said: "In the West, there is still someone who needs my guidance, otherwise history will be changed." (To be continued.) )
