Chapter 113: What I Asked For and What I Feared
In this way, it can be explained.
Weichen is just a lonely soul, he should have entered reincarnation a long time ago, but he never thought that the Lingling was so obsessed with him that he imprisoned him with the Spirit Tower. He closed his spiritual consciousness to show his resistance, but the weeping bell didn't care, in her opinion, "dust" is just a symbol of her yearning for love, what does it matter if this symbol is a tree or a person?
Being a human dust will not give her any warmth, be a tree, at least stay by her side forever.
But Mote doesn't want this forever.
So he found the Phantom Wu, why is it her? It must be the same as the reason why Ji Ming chose the Phantom Wu, the wood system perceives Octavia, from the moment he feels that the Phantom Wu stepped into the Huhuai Town, he already knows that she who was born as a Phantom Demon Grass is the best choice to crack the illusion of the Spirit Tower.
The dust can only lead them to see the truth about the dilapidated Temple of Mercy, thus directly breaking the illusion of the weeping bell structure. They can get out of the trap of the bell sooner, otherwise they will inevitably encounter other dangers.
Dusty didn't want to take any risks, and let Phantom see his memories earlier, so as to ensure that Phantom could get the mirror as soon as possible.
As long as Phantom Wu gets the Langyu Mirror, the Spirit Feeling Tower will have no meaning of existence, and it will soon be destroyed under the erosion of time. The locust tree for the dust to accommodate is almost integrated with the tower body in the process of growth, and the spirit tower falls, which is no shelter for the locust tree, but there is no shackle for the dust himself, and he can completely get rid of the locust tree.
Souls without attachment may enter the underworld, or they may wander around some corner of the world like those resentful spirits in the town of ghouls, or they may be scattered directly.
If the first type is still good, according to the nature of the dust, he may not be willing to re-enter reincarnation. But he doesn't have as deep a grudge as the resentful spirit, and wandering the world is not his choice.
The people of the Six Realms were able to leave the realm of the dead spirit alone, and they were originally counting on the resentful spirits to fend for themselves. The soul stays in the world for a long time, and its strength will gradually weaken, coupled with the power needed to break free from the shackles, it seems that the dust has made up his mind that he would rather scatter the soul directly, or even lose his soul to earn freedom.
Phantom Wu couldn't help but think of the scene that Weichen first showed them, maybe it was Weichen himself who went out to play with the weeping bell and went to the market to watch the shadow puppet show that day. Those words may indeed have been said by herself, but Weichen may not disagree.
As early as childhood, the words of the weeping bell planted a seed in the heart of the dust, whether it was the temptation of the world, or the thinking of love and hate, the dust remained in that bright spring day.
For the spectator's phantom, the existence of that day does not matter. But for Dust, that day has become the most memorable day in this life, and they walked again with the illusion, which also made Dusty complete the last memory.
Phantom Wu didn't understand, since he was so reluctant, why didn't he simply stay?
Is it because there is always the insistence of Buddhism in my heart, and I can't get over that hurdle in my heart? Or is it because of the so-called self-esteem, since I have given it up, I don't want to pick it up?
After all, it's because of selfishness. Weeping Bell is selfish, and even if she confirms her intentions again and again and will not get a response, she still can't completely let go of the dust. Even if Dusty died, even if she finally understood Dust's desire to leave, she would keep him by her side despite his wishes.
Weeling Ling cares so much about the dust and does not allow others to slander him, in essence, she does not allow others to slander her noble and firm love.
The dust is also selfish, and for him, the worldly fate is actually just a hanging bell. He regards the weeping bell as the last hurdle for him to get out of the world, and thinks that he can rely on the Dharma to cultivate through the bond of adversity, and he does not shy away from getting along with her, out of self-confidence, including the wavering of the Buddha door due to the words of the weeping bell in his childhood, will also be destroyed by him, and he will eventually attain enlightenment and become a Buddha without desires.
He never treated the bell as a woman of flesh and blood, he only saw her as an enemy to be opposed. A "demon" that symbolizes that he will eventually be overcome is not even as good as an inconsequential passer-by, who does not need to be merciful.
"Compassion" for all beings, for individuals who indulge in love, is cruelty engraved on the moral high ground, a monument gilded for ruthlessness.
After knowing that he was already emotional, Weichen's pity for Weeping Ling was not enough to cover the regret in his heart, and he didn't want to admit his defeat, so he ignored Weeping Ling and faced the wall alone. But the feelings that have long been rooted have no time to escape, and the moment he steps out of the wall room is also the moment when he declares defeat.
He knew that Weeling was innocent, but what did it matter, in the end, all he cared about was himself. Even in the end, the choice he made was to abandon the weeping bell and abandon his powerless life.
Do they really love each other that much? Is that love pure?
They both see each other as a symbol of life, and they give this meaning to all the qualities they want to see in it. She loves it, pursues it, he overcomes it and suppresses it, they both think they can succeed, but they forget the most important thing, they don't see each other as a person who needs to be respected and cherished.
In this situation, they are still so stubborn. Even if he saw that this so-called "meaning" was so ridiculous, Weeping Ling did not intend to let go, and Weichen was willing to fight everything.
"Rather for the jade to be broken, not for the tile", the cherished jade has been broken, and then praise its nobility to others, what is the point?
In each other's eyes, the other party is this noble and distant jade, and they do everything to smash each other to pieces, so as to achieve the justice they are chasing.
Phantom Wu only thought it was ridiculous.
"This so-called love is ridiculous. King Ming's sarcastic voice pulled back Phantom's thoughts.
"Love is not so narrow-minded, they are trapped in their own demons. ”
King Ming didn't plan to argue with her about this: "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand." Now I've told you, the weeping bell will definitely chase and beat the Lang Yu Mirror because of the dust, even if you can get out of the Feeling Spirit Tower, you can't run out of the Temple of Mercy. ”
"In your words, each has its own destiny, and I have completed my task, and it is not my responsibility to hand over the mirror. ”
“...... Anyway, I've told you what I know, I just want to know the answer. King Ming looked at her with an indifferent look, as if his "exchange of chips" was not important at all, he could only stare at Phantom Wu viciously, for fear that someone would run away.
No one in this world can escape obsession.
Phantom Wu sighed helplessly, an inconsequential act for himself may be a fulfillment for others.
"It's actually quite simple. The essence of illusion is falsehood, and all sensory perceptions arise from one's own mind. Your emotions are real, but everything you see, hear, smell is non-existent, just remember that. ”
"So what?"
"So you, as the spirit of the illusion, yourself represent nothingness, how can you touch me?"
King Ming was struck by lightning.
"You lured me to break through the fortifications, suspecting that your painting was really taken away by you, and finding the location of my real painting, you have succeeded here. But you let me see you to ask for the painting, I feel that I was hit by you, I feel pain, and then I see the painting taken away by you, these steps are all failures. ”
King Ming looked at her seriously: "How do you say that?"
"I saw the painting burned before, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, because what you want is my emotions, and my emotions of fear and worry are real, so I was trapped. But then your series of actions made me 'see', 'feel', but made me sober, I always uphold the point, that is, everything in the illusion is 'empty' except for the emotions generated by myself, and when 'emptiness' happens, it is the code I set for myself, suggesting that I wake up. The illusion has no substance, you can't actually hit me, and it won't hurt me, it's just the pain that my eyes see makes me feel it. In the same way, you can't touch me at all, so those movements and feelings that seem 'deliberate' to me are just to make me believe that the real painting has been obtained by you, and thus break me. In the illusion, only I am real, unless I take out the things for you myself, and it is impossible for you to get the real things by yourself without the physical object. ”
"Then aren't you worried that you've already given me something yourself?"
Phantom Wu looked at King Ming with an idiotic look: "I doubted, didn't you just eliminate my doubts yourself? If I have already given you something, why do you bother to do this trick, and deceive the location of my hidden paintings, and pretend to rob my things to make me collapse, isn't this a repeated move? You directly burned the real thing, I can directly collapse eight hundred times." So I'm even more sure you can't grab it, if you can grab it directly, you would have turned me out directly on the ground, what kind of brain do you use if you have force, I'm tired and panicked. ”
King Ming wants to cry without tears: ...... Does that mean I have neither the force nor the brain?
"No matter how real the experience is, it's just 'the moon in the mirror', no matter how much I love this moon, I won't really go to the water to fish for it. The human mind is actually very powerful, and the fire I saw in this illusion actually couldn't burn me, but my brain still scared me, and my brain would feel pain the moment the flame touched my skin, but once I left the illusion, the terrible burns didn't exist. ”
But how can the world want to get this, they will only linger on the love of the moon, and desperately throw themselves into the water to catch the moon. Once in the water, they will be tired and frightened that it will never end, and they will feel like they are going to suffocate, and then they will literally drown in the water, forgetting that neither the water nor the moon exists. "King Ming lamented that the world is ignorant, and there is no need for so-called truth, it is enough to put people to death.
"Most people are scared to death, so the power of the illusion comes from the heart, and there is nothing to be done about the illusion for the heart that has no desires, no desires, and no fears. ”
"But you obviously have something to ask for, and you have something to fear. ”
"Yes, maybe at some point my desire is greater than my fear, and at some point my fear makes me forget my request, and both will eventually bring me back to balance. ”
King Ming smiled: "It is the firmness in your heart that is greater than all desires and fears, and in the face of such firmness, desires and fears have become a boost." The firmest heart is actually the clearest mirror, no falsehood can be hidden, and at the same time it is the hardest stone, once the goal is identified, no bond can break you. ”
King Ming looked at the illusion, as if sighing and regretting, "It's not the so-called people who know illusion and understand illusion can break the demons in their hearts, you don't realize it yourself, your heart is actually very strong." ”
