Chapter 52: On Buddhism and the Path
After Li Luohao entered the library pavilion, what caught his eye was not a dense and overwhelming collection of various cheats and exercise books. On one tall bookshelf after another, there are one thing after another that resembles a bamboo skewer.
The small bamboo sticks are engraved with dense arcane runes. In this trance, Li Luohao realized that all the books in the cultivation world were made of this kind of bamboo stick, and readers needed to use their divine sense to read the contents inside.
Thinking of this, Li Luohao casually took a bamboo stick in the air and explored the content inside with his divine sense:
"In the primeval period, the demon clan was in charge of the sky, the witch clan was in charge of the earth, the two great demon emperors in the heavenly realm, the emperor of the heavenly emperor, the emperor of the eastern emperor, the Taiyi war, the twelve ancestors of the witch clan, suffered heavy casualties on both sides, and later the emperor of the human race, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, took advantage of his unpreparedness to defeat the demon clan and take the heavenly realm, the demon clan had no choice but to open up the demon world to escape and prepare for a comeback, and the supreme martial arts were retained in the human world and mortals coexisting in the mortal world. ”
What is recorded in this bamboo stick is the battle launched by those legendary-level powerhouses back then, and I have to say that there is still a big gap between the facts that happened in the cultivation world and the myths and legends that circulated in the secular world.
Li Luohao was not too interested in this kind of book that recorded history, so he casually changed a bamboo stick:
"According to the mouth of the palace master of Lengyue Palace, one of the seven top forces, Penglai Immortal Island was born three thousand years ago, and in a peach orchard secret realm in its northeast corner, there is a strange magic circle: ten wooden stakes are peach tree stumps that have become refined for thousands of years, and five stones are refined from the holy copper of Kunlun Mountain, which is extremely hard. Ten piles and five stones are connected with iron chains, the two sides complement each other, and then look at its topography, there is a mountain between the four mountains, the top of a mountain is flat, the four divine beasts, the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu are all there, the people who need the four spirit beasts to be sealed, its strength is immeasurable; ”
From this classic, Li Luohao got a lot of information: among the seven top forces in the world, in addition to the five Heavenly God Academy, Huaxia Dragon Soul, Silver Fox Bounty, Heavenless Emperor City, and Eternal Era, there is also a force called 'Cold Moon Palace'.
In addition, the legendary Penglai Immortal Island does exist, but judging from the meaning of this classic, Penglai Immortal Island seems to be born once in a long time, and the most recent birth seems to have been three thousand years ago.
Li Luohao flipped through a few more classics, all of which recorded some historical events and rare intelligence information.
It seems that the classics placed on the first floor of the library are all informational books, which does not help Li Luohao much.
Li Luohao turned around and walked towards the second floor of the Library Pavilion, during which Li Luohao had been planning for his next trip.
Since the city lord of Heavenless Emperor City, one of the world's seven top forces, Emperor Qingtian was the junior disciple of Emperor Qingcang, then Li Luohao had every reason to inform Emperor Qingtian of his existence.
And Li Luohao needed to understand in more detail the reason why the Celestial Clan was cursed by Heaven's will, so it was necessary for him to go to the Heavenless Emperor City to find the Emperor Optimus.
Thinking of this, all of a sudden, the feeling in Li Luohao's body became more and more intense, and Li Luohao realized that he had come to the second floor of the library pavilion.
In fact, Li Luohao didn't know why he came to the Library Pavilion, but there was a feeling in the dark that made Li Luohao can't help but want to come here to find out. It seems that he has left something here, but Li Luohao can't say it, and he doesn't know what he left behind.
Looking at the second floor of the Library Pavilion, it is very different from the first floor.
If the first floor is a decent library-style decoration, then the second floor can be said to be a luxurious style like the Jinluan Palace.
The table made of Shenjin was shining with gold, and there were countless porcelain pill bottles on it, these bottles and jars were neatly arranged, and the second floor of the entire library pavilion was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.
The surrounding walls are carved with portraits of countless people, and the life deeds of the medicine kings of the past dynasties are carved on them.
It turned out that the second floor of the Library Pavilion had nothing to do with books, and this layer completely belonged to the realm of pills.
Li Luohao picked up a medicine bottle casually, but found that the medicine bottle could not be opened at all, so Li Luohao began to investigate with his divine sense as if he had read a bamboo stick before.
Sure enough, Li Luohao's divine sense easily entered the medicine bottle, and in the next second, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his consciousness was instantly sucked into the medicine bottle.
When Li Luohao opened his eyes again, he found an old man with a fairy wind bone standing in front of him.
The old man was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and his face was kind and kind, but there was an inviolable majesty between his eyebrows.
The old man spoke, and his voice was like a bell: "There are people who are destined, the poor Dao has been waiting here for more than 700 years, are you willing to accept the inheritance of my 'green pine nuts'?"
Hearing this, Li Luohao was stunned for a moment, isn't it the pill classics stored on the second floor of this library pavilion? Why is there a powerful pharmacist's inheritance in this medicine bottle?
You must know that there are tens of thousands of medicine bottles like this on the second floor of the Library Pavilion, and if each medicine bottle has a pharmacist's inheritance, then the number of such inheritances is really terrifying.
Thinking of this, Li Luohao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. From the four walls on the second floor of the Library Pavilion, it can be known that these pharmacists were all top pharmacists who had competed for the title of "Medicine King" before their deaths.
The lifespan of a pharmacist is much higher than that of an ordinary monk, and a pharmacist can prolong his life by various pharmacological means. A Medicine Master of the Inferior Saint Monarch realm sometimes had to live longer than a Medium God Emperor.
It can be seen that there are so many pharmacist inheritances on the second floor of the Library Pavilion of the Heavenly God Academy, how many years of accumulation and precipitation have taken to have such a rich heritage?
Although Li Luohao had the lifelong wealth left to him by Emperor Qingcang in his hands, after seeing the foundation of the Heavenly God Academy, Li Luohao's understanding of the foundation was refreshed again.
This is not to say that Emperor Qingcang's background is not as good as that of the Heavenly God Academy, but for Li Luohao in the current realm, this is indeed a spiritual impact.
Facing the old Taoist priest in front of him, who called himself "Qing Songzi", Li Luohao saluted respectfully and said: "Senior, the junior has dull qualifications, he doesn't know anything about the way of medicine, and I myself don't have any interest in the way of medicine, I hope that the seniors can carefully choose other Tianjiao as your inheritors, there is no shortage of geniuses in the Tianshen Academy, in comparison, it is difficult for the younger generation to take on this great responsibility." ”
Qing Songzi shook his head lightly and said, "Young man, you are wrong, for many years, countless Tianjiao of the Heavenly God Academy have tried to obtain the inheritance of the Poor Dao, and they are all geniuses without exception, but the Poor Dao has not let them inherit my medicine Dao, do you know why?"
"The younger generation doesn't know. ”
Qing Songzi said slowly: "Because they don't have a cause and effect with Taoism, and you have a huge cause and effect of the Tao. ”
Li Luohao frowned when he heard this, because in Li Luohao's impression, he didn't seem to have anything to do with Taoism. If you have to say that you have anything to do with Taoism, then the only thing is that Li Luohao met a Taoist priest named "Yuan Jie" in Huaxia Dragon Soul not long ago.
However, the impression left by this Yuan Jie on Li Luohao is not related to the Taoist priest at all, how can there be a Taoist priest who is as lazy as him, and he still goes in and out of places of sound and lust in an open and honest manner. To put it mildly, Taoism is the only native religion in China, and Yuan Jie's actions really ruined the reputation of Taoism.
Having said that, Li Luohao prefers Taoism to Buddhism, because in Li Luohao's personal view, the main purpose of all kinds of Buddhism advocated by Buddhism is to violate human emotions.
Concepts such as "the four emptiness", "the equality of all beings", "the emptiness of all laws", and "no desire and no desire" all go against the concept of human emotions and survival.
The concepts of "the four are empty" and "no desire and no desire" have their own paradoxes: the Buddha said that the four are empty, but why do you covet the incense of the world?
The Buddha said that there is no desire and no desire, but why is he still studying the Dharma and struggling day and night to become a Buddha, and his desire is increasing day and night?
The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, but why do people in the world want to bow down? Why should we divide Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, etc.?
The Buddha said that all dharmas are empty, but why should the light of the Buddha shine on the earth, and why should everything in the world be crossed into the Buddha nature?
For Buddhism's sanctimonious behavior, it is not strange whether it is in the secular mortal world or in the cultivation world. With good intentions and so-called "goodness", they defraud people who are bent on goodness out of their money, so as to obtain benefits.
This corrupt atmosphere of Buddhism has long been deep-rooted, I still remember that in the secular mortal period, when Li Luohao was in the "panic mantra", he once found a "great compassion mantra" on his mobile phone to purify his heart, but he never expected that the "great compassion mantra" turned out to be paid music!
It's really in response to the old saying: My Buddha doesn't cross the poor, only VIP!
On the other hand, Taoism, all classical French books are open to the outside world, and they are dedicated to learning, not disturbed by the world, and do not compete with ordinary people.
The Tao said that he was good at himself, but in the troubled years, he hung the pot to help the world and went down the mountain to save people.
The Buddha said that all sentient beings are purified, but why is there thousands of sufferings and sorrows in the world, but there is not a trace of Buddha almsgiving!
The Tao is quiet and inactive, but he always cares about the world.
The Buddha said that he was compassionate, but he never manifested himself to purify sentient beings.
Buddha cultivates the next life, and the Tao cultivates this life. Buddhism practices the afterlife, but when will the afterlife come?
If you don't even have a good life in this life, then what's the use of the so-called next life?
I have a Buddha in my heart, but a Buddha has no self. After suffering in the world, he asked the Buddha, but the Buddha said that everything has a certainty. Since there is a fixed number, what is the use of people in the world worshipping Buddha?
I have never seen a Buddha crossing people, only seeing a Buddha gilded! Ask your Buddha, can you remember the flying flowers of the past! Ask your Buddha, can you go to the Nine Layers of Hell? Ask your Buddha, what is engraved on the three-life stone? Ask your Buddha, can overcome suffering, why can't you cross me!
The Buddha knelt in front of him for 3,000 years, and he didn't see my Buddha feel pity.
It's not that the world covers the eyes of the Buddha, but it is not the money that has not been offered.
The Buddha said that if there is no love, the heart is happy, but how can you be at peace without love?
I'd rather go down to the ghost gate of the underworld than enter your spiritual mountain!
