Chapter 33: Who Are You and Me (Part II)
As soon as Lu Xihua's words came out, many people present fell into deep thought.
They may have never heard this question, they may have heard this question but did not expect a god to bring it up on such an occasion to discuss it in person, maybe they have thought to themselves in the middle of the night but have no answer, maybe they have turned into a butterfly in the sacred books of the sages and the dreams of the former philosophers to seek answers... All of this is a mystery with no answers.
Of course, there are some people, who have not read or been educated, they have been struggling to live since the day they were born, only hoping to live until the next day, they have complained about why they came to the world to suffer, they have complained about why others are rich and they are poor, and perhaps deep down there has been a flash of doubt in their hearts, who am I, why did I come to this world, did I come to this world to struggle to live?
Now they are bewildered.
There are also a very small number of people who show an indifferent attitude, they should eat and drink, it seems that Lu Xihua's words just now do not exist.
"If you can understand the next words, you can listen to them, and if you don't understand them, you can rest casually, and when it comes to some details next, you can join in at any time and ask questions. Without pause, the young man continued.
This question is very important, it is related to his path to becoming an immortal, it is his Dao foundation, and it is also his Dharma source.
"Who am I. ”
"Man, as a thinking and intelligent person, will inevitably come up with this question in his mind at a certain time, place, and scene in which he grows: Who am I? There is no limit to this question, and countless sages before you, as well as countless ordinary people, have thought about this question in the same way as you. So it's an old puzzle that can't be more ancient. ”
"Maybe when the ancestors of mankind were still slash-and-burn, one day they just ate a wild beast from the wilderness. He burped, and on a whim, he left the snoring clansmen beside him, walked out of the cave, and came to the river, facing the eternal moon in the sky, looking at the great river that flowed all the year round in front of him. He vaguely remembered a question in his mind: Who am I? And the same scene happened one day thousands of years later, when you were doing nothing in the courtyard after dinner, admiring the moon, and you burped to the moon and remembered the same question. ”
Lu Xihua's words were very simple, and he simply told this question, and it was like two people talking about the shortcomings of their parents, and many people understood his words and fell into a kind of memory, when did they think of this problem? It turns out that he is not the only one who has thought about it, but also the previous and later generations and thousands of people have raised this doubt.
The question of who I am is the essence of the thinker. It asks not about one's own status, not one's own family, not one's own position and income, but about what I am like when heaven and earth first opened? This is the resonance of the wise. ”
"Some people will definitely say that it is not easy to live, I am so tired that I want to sleep when I lie down every day, I have to work when I open my eyes, and I don't know where tomorrow's food is. That's right, the first thoughts came out of the boredom of the group of people who didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and who relied on slaves to feed themselves and do nothing. And the same is true for immortal cultivators!"
Lu Xihua's words were deafening at this moment, like a thunderbolt that woke up some people present, and then he remembered that this was not a class, not a drinking party. The person talking on the other side is not a nephew of a certain family, not a student, but a suspected immortal existence, the giant ship like a mountain and sea under his feet is his car, and the brilliant starry sky above his head is his garden.
"Everyone, remember: there is no self without man, there is no other existence, and there is no such thing as the existence of self, which is the ultimate meaning of the Tao. And my title is just a certain manifestation of consciousness. Even the Heavenly Immortal Buddha, the same!"
As soon as Lu Xihua's words fell, the surface of a huge planet not far away suddenly exploded, countless magma erupted, and the lava visible to the naked eye flowed on the surface of the planet, and thick smoke billowed everywhere among the thousands of ravines. For a while, countless forests and green spaces were submerged, countless rivers, lakes and seas were boiling, and perhaps countless lives disappeared in that moment just now.
Lu Xihua's eyebrows twitched, I am a leak of the heavenly machine? Heaven sent a warning? hehe...
However, in the flash of light, he thought of something again, sighed slightly, and decided not to talk about this issue further, and to discuss it again when he had the opportunity to discuss it in the future.
This place is not suitable.
However, what he just said has already shocked many people, and some very intelligent people have spread from his words to another question, if you and I are the embodiment of a kind of consciousness, and by extension, those so-called gods and Buddhas are also a kind of consciousness embodiment of wisdom? !
"The mind can leap, but the road must move forward step by step, the mind of the wise can leap across the galaxy, throughout the three thousand worlds, but the body wants to leap across the galaxy can only start from the most basic over the mountains and mountains, from the beginning of the house, everyone, this is the end of today, do not say more, and do not ask questions about it. Because it may have violated some taboos and cannot be said more. Now back to the beginning, I'm going to talk about who I am and who you are. ”
Lu Xihua's words were one by one, and different people from different worlds were frightened, but excited, just by what he said just now, it was almost the deepest mystery of the Dao, so what secrets would there be next?
"Before, I have already introduced to you, my name is Lu Xihua, I am from the Taiyi Gate Taiwei Hall Lei Yin Peak, the number Lei Yin Zhenren, and now the starry sky you see around you is an extremely remote area under the jurisdiction of the Taiyi Gate. Skip that and what about you?"
"From the Ming Empire"
"From the Qing Dynasty"
"From the age of technology"
...
Every time Lu Xihua said a word, a thin ball of sky-high brilliance lit up in one direction. The discerning person on the terrace can see at a glance that the origin of the world is officially represented under the shroud of brilliance, everyone is from the same place, so there are really so many worlds?
It's just why in the tech world, there are as many as four worlds in the same costume, and what is the difference between them?
"First of all, to borrow the meaning of the word A.D., you will know the difference in your position. ”
Between Lu Xihua's words, the meaning of the Common Era was immediately instilled into the minds of some people.
17th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Empire (1644 AD)
The 4th year of Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty (1799 AD)
Tech Empire (1990 AD)
Tech Empire (2000 AD)
Tech Empire (2010 AD)
Tech Empire (2020 AD)
"It turns out that the Tartars really built a country~"
"My Han family's clothes are orthodox after all. ”
...
However, then many of the same doubts also came out, "Why are the Ming and Qing dynasties one world, but there are as many as four science and technology worlds, and they are only ten years apart." In such a short period of time, what is the difference between them to be able to appear on this exotic banquet stage alongside the Ming and Qing dynasties?"
"Some of you who are somewhat aware of the fact that you are here because of some great people from your dynasty. For example, the Chongzhen Dynasty's Sky Star Monarch Qin Liangyu, Tianqiao Star Monarch Song Yingxing, and Earth Slave Star Official Wang Chengen; And these people are my subordinates of Lei Yin Peak in the Taiwei Palace, Aiwu and Wu, that's why you came here. From this, do those four similarly different technological worlds also have the same situation as yours, and there are also strong people working in my peak?"
That's true, but it's not entirely true. ”
"Do you know what year and month it is, and why are you, people from different eras of the world, gathered together now?"
"As I mentioned just now, the starry sky where this place is located is a few remote regions under the jurisdiction of my Taiyi Gate. And the Taiyi Gate is only the first of the ten major immortal cultivation gates in the Horned Jupiter Domain, and the starry sky occupied is less than one hundred and one in the Horned Jupiter Domain. Even under the shroud of the ten major immortal cultivators, there are still most of the border wasteland areas that have not yet been involved, these places are just impossible to build, relying on strength to speak, killing people and destroying the country and other behaviors will not happen all the time. You can eat and drink here now, all because of the big banner above your head, so that you don't have to bother with a small night. After Lu Xihua said this, he pointed to the ethereal and mighty word "Taiyi" on the giant ship.
"Taiyi Gate?Horn Jupiter Domain?Which starry sky is this?Why haven't we heard of it?" There were several officials from various dynasties and heavenly prisons, as well as famous astronomers, who were unfamiliar with the name in Lu Xihua's mouth, saying that they had never seen it in any ancient books.
"Could it be in another galaxy?"
Seeing these questions, Lu Xihua replied with a smile, "Of course you haven't heard of it. Ladies and gentlemen, this place has been more than 30 billion years since the Virtuous Tribulation in Buddhism, and according to the time period, it is on the eve of the birth of the Buddha of the Sun. So, do you understand, whether it is the Ming and Qing dynasties or the world of science and technology, congratulations, you are all ancients~"
As soon as these words fell, the banquet table was boiling, but fortunately, the sound was blocked, everyone could only hear their own shouts, see the movements of others, but they could not affect each other.
More and more people began to go crazy, picked up the wine and food on the table and poured it into their mouths, no longer caring about the previous stable image.
There are also some people who were stunned for a long time, like a wooden chicken, but more people have calmed down, these are people who have been or are in high positions, leading Zhaomin, calm minds, and not chaotic.
There are also Buddhists who secretly rejoice, the birth of the Sunshine Buddha, doesn't it mean that the Buddha is about to be glorious?
The people of the Daomen are frowning, the Buddha Gate has never been a good thing, and I heard that the real people here are the territory of the Taiyi Gate, so they should not sit idly by, how will they deal with it?
There are also smart people who think that since it is the time when the Sunlight Buddha was born at this time, it means that this strange Horned Jupiter Domain is in the central Suva world, and there will be a theory that the Sunlight Buddha was born. The birth of the Sun Buddha does not mean that there is only one Buddha, but that it is the turn of the Buddha to be the Buddha, to take charge of the central world of sava, and there are other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas under the seat.
"What are the real people bringing us together for, and are they dealing with the pressure from the Buddhists?" someone could not help but ask, and was immediately met with angry eyes from some Buddhists.
Lu Xihua continued to laugh, "Challenge? Of course not. To tell you the truth, you are all ordinary mortals, and you may not even be dust in front of some powerful immortal cultivators, and when they look at you, you will be wiped out, and you still want to talk to them?"
"No, we are born with rights! We have the right to control our own destiny!" Countless people with modern education immediately expressed their indignation at Lu Xihua's words, why should we be manipulated and manipulated by you!
Lu Xihua shook his head and sighed, "People are born with power, but life is short, it's a pity~"
"What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that the owners present, you are not real people, not even ancients, how can you have any power at all?"
"Huh?!"
