CHAPTER XXXIX
"This brings us to the question of the destiny of the soul, reincarnation. Don't you think that every myth has its own beliefs, and in the end people go to different places when they die? And the East and the West describe it differently? β
"yes, I've been thinking weird for a long time." , I thought about it.
"And don't you think that near-death experiences are all the same? It's basically a replay of one's life, and then enter a channel that is either white or black, and then enter a different world. β
"Tomato said that she had a bardo transition, and she did whatever she wanted during that time." , I think of what Tomato said before.
"Yes, normally, there is a bardo body. This time is for a living person to transition to a dead person, and to understand that he is dead. It's the same as making steamed buns. Kui compared a round round instead of steamed buns.
"The first time I've heard of someone comparing steamed buns with soul ascension, you are also the first person in ancient and modern times."
The meaning is the same, and that's the problem. Back to the question at the beginning, last time Taiyi Tianzun said that you have Dao power, Buddha power, and the holy light of the West in your body, so have you ever thought about it, if you die, where will you go? Kui asked.
"It's... I didn't think about it, let's go to the underworld. β
"Why?" , Kui continued to ask.
"Because I feel that the people of the Central Plains should go to the underworld to reincarnate after they die, and I have listened to these things since I was a child."
"You haven't seen the underworld, how do you know that you humans don't like to see is believing?" , Kui is digging into the roots.
"Why, the dead haven't come back to deliver the letter." , isn't this a bar?
"Actually, it's because you believe that you will go to the underworld, so you will go to the underworld. This is the root of the war, the plundering of resources. Kui pointed out the problem.
"What, what resources? Person? I can't get back to my senses.
Kui turned around and poured a glass of water, then sat back down, put on a relatively comfortable posture and said, "You don't even have a sofa here, go back and buy a set, I'll give it to you." β
"Can you get down to business first...", his focus is really strange.
"Don't worry, since you're involved in these things, you can't stay out of it at all, so prepare a comfortable living room, and we'll come often in the future."
"Okay, I'll buy it when I get back, you go on." , I would prefer to know the latter words.
"Let's start with something ancient. Do you know the Egyptian gods? β
"Yes, Anubis, Seth, and the sun god Ra or something." , The myths of ancient Egypt are still very attractive, and there are many movies based on these myths.
"Do you think there are still people who worship them?" , Kui asked again.
"Probably not, Egypt theoretically has no race of its own since Alexander's conquest." , I've seen Cleopatra.
"Your time was destroyed by the Persians in 525 B.C., to be exact. So what do you think it means to perish? β
"Don't have your own race?" , a bit like a history professor giving a class.
"There is no faith, no culture, to be precise, to forget one's own history is to perish." , Kui's summary is more incisive.
"Yes, that's more precise."
"Then why is there no history, no race, and it will perish?"
ββ¦ Because... So? The science? I don't know, I haven't thought about it that deeply. Is this a matter of the soul, or is it a matter of philosophy?
"Because without history, there would be no ancestors, there would be no shelter for race, and there would be no need to survive in this space." , Kui conjured up the appearance of a city in his hand, and then fanned it away, like the wind.
"Is this true?" I was as shocked by his ability to manipulate maneuver as he was by what he said.
"How do you think the gods of Egypt came to be?" , another philosophical question, how did God come about.
"They themselves... Looking for? β
"Egypt had many gods and a wide range of things, but in the end they were all separated from nature. For example, when the worship of the sun reaches a certain level, the sun will open up the mind and come out as a nature god. This is called the natural system, and everything has a spirit. From here you can see the power of human faith. β
"That's... Are all gods nothing? β
"No, of course not. But, in the beginning, yes. When there is spirituality, it becomes a real being, and you have a scientific explanation for this. He drew a circle in the air again, not knowing what it meant.
"What scientific explanation explains the existence of God?" I think I should choose natural sciences or philosophy or something in college.
"SchrΓΆdinger's cat and Young's double-slit interference experiments both show the impact of human spiritual power on the material world from the side. If you think about it, it's the impact on God. He drew a human figure in a circle.
What you mean is that if people don't believe in God, God doesn't exist. But what does this have to do with genocide? What does it have to do with war? And I'm a little confused. Can you put it simply? β
"Well, let's talk to you like this. God is actually the condensation of the spiritual power of countless people, and if no one remembers him anymore, God will disappear. And the reason God appeared was to be needed by people, and to be placed in a position, such as sheltering human beings or something. No one remembers, no one needs shelter, no one needs shelter, God disappears, and after disappearing, there is no God to protect the last bit of civilization, it disappears completely, you see. β
"Got it, it's a bit like an egg-and-chicken situation and chicken-and-egg situation. What about the gods of the Central Plains? β
"The biggest difference between the gods of the Central Plains is that basically human beings improve their abilities and then cultivate them. First of all, immortals, then gods. That is to say, if there is no one to worship the god, it may disappear, but this god will not disappear, and will only become a scattered immortal. And most of the immortals are actually our ancestors, and they have descendants to worship, and it is our ancestors who are in charge of the power of nature, and then come back to protect the descendants. Therefore, even if you no longer worship this force of nature, you still have to worship your ancestors. That's the biggest difference between us and other cultures. β
"Isn't that understandable as being more advanced, so our immortals will never be destroyed?" It dawned on me.
"Yes and no. Because right now we are experiencing the most terrible cultural invasion. In the eyes of you mortals, it is the invasion of culture, and it is the so-called advanced Western world that is entering and leading our Eastern world. In fact, in other planes, it has long been discovered that this is an invasion of faith, and the purpose is to destroy us gods, immortals, and demons, and then achieve the goal of destroying East Asian civilization. β
This is a shock! I never thought that the biggest purpose of cultural invasion was to wipe out our own culture of the Central Plains.
"The Central Plains culture is not so easy to destroy." , I hurriedly asked. Although I have settled in the Maple Leaf Country, it does not mean that I do not miss my motherland!
"Yes, there have been things like this before, but at that time it was mainly a matter of the mortal world. For example, the Yuan and Qing dynasties slaughtered the Central Plains. But because they are also a race that believes in nature, they are slowly assimilated by us in the end, you see cultural assimilation, but in fact, the war on the plane is very strong, and our gods conquer other gods. The concrete manifestation is that these races have also been assimilated by you. Not only does this not lead to genocide, but it also makes the race stronger, and we grow stronger, and you also grow. But not now, what is invading us now is mainly the culture under the monotheistic system, and their purpose is not only to destroy the culture of East Asia in the mortal realm, but also to the gods and goddesses in our world. We are all in danger of extinction. Kui said to me very seriously, but his hand did not stop, and a small figure was drawn by him, wearing a white robe, with his hands outstretched, slightly cross-shaped.
"How many realms? How many realms? Also, what is a monotheistic system? Again, new knowledge.
"Yes, several realms! Including our demon world, the fairy world, the Buddha world, and the Confucian world. However, in your traditional cognition, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are one, and our demon race is actually a living race of the human race. Oh, and by the way, the Demon Realm. Kui folded his fingers and calculated.
"And the Demon Realm? Is there really a demon realm? The Devil? β
"No, the Demon Realm refers to cultivation methods that are different from common sense, and there is no realm of its own. But then I don't know where the demon is.,I have to set up a realm by myself.,Every day shouting that you want to be self-reliant.γ In fact, the method of cultivation can't run away from Confucianism and Taoism, and it is still the same root and origin after tossing for a long time. How far can he go? I don't think he's referring to something.
"What about the devil?" , I also want to know about this.
"The devil is a collective term for a number of other races, some of which evolved from humans and some of whom are other creatures. There's no need to tell you about this now, it's too complicated, and you're confusing yourself again. With a wave of his hand, the white villain in front of him turned black.
"How is this world divided?" If you don't tell me this question, then ask what you can tell me.
"The world is a name, but it's the equivalent of what you call an organizational structure. For example, this Demon Realm, in fact, a few people who practice Demon Skills find a space that operates alone, and then occupy it, saying that it is their own Demon Realm. β
"And a separate space?"
This is complicated to explain, involving the composition of time and space, as well as multidimensional space. It's the same with other worlds, don't you think that many legends and stories in the human world don't match geography? It's not that the legend is fake, but these places are divided into separate realms. For example, the thirty-three days realm and the eighteen-layer underworld were all separated from the original human realm. β
"This seems to have been said by Lao Cao, what is the monotheistic system?"
"You know the so-called One God, right?" , Kui waved his hand and fanned the villain in front of him, looked at me and said.
"You know, there are too many of these, North America is all preaching one god." This is really their dojo.
