Chapter 015: Great Joy and Great Sorrow (I)
The strange sound sounded again, this time, even the two brothers of the Luo family were nervous, fortunately, the old man was able to hold his foot, Old Man Luo waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, the formation around this house is still the formation set up by the head disciple of the Qingtong Sect last time he came down on a business trip, not to mention a thousand-year-old immortal, even if there are three or five thousand-year-old demon immortals, he will definitely not be able to enter." ”
Seeing that the old man was so sure, the young people also settled down.
The words of Old Man Luo just now were like thunder and thunder for Guan Xiao, and it sounded very ridiculous to take out any of them, but after breaking these things apart and crumpling them together, I don't know why, the big steel door of materialism that Guan Xiao had been guarding for sixteen years in his mind began to loosen - especially the two sentences of Old Man Luo: "This world is the birthplace of human civilization, how can anyone who wants to 'conquer' his parents when he is a child?!"
Don't...... Is it true that the path of scientific evolution is going in the wrong direction now? Is there really another path, that is, the path of cultivation that is full of feudal superstitions? Could it be that what is blocking the door now is really a snake demon who has cultivated for thousands of years and will eventually become an immortal?
"Luo Shibo, I still didn't understand just now, where did our predecessors go?" Guan Xiao was still puzzled in his heart.
Old Man Luo's electronic pen pointed to the middle part of the thangka again: "This is it, the left side is the place chosen by the cultivators, which is what the elders often call the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and on the other side, there is the Demon Realm." ”
The eyes of the four little characters lit up at the same time. It can be seen that the two brothers of the Luo family have not been in contact with these things before.
"Dad, what is the Demon Realm?" the little girl asked with wide eyes.
"How many times have you told you, don't interrupt when others speak, and always don't remember. Old man Luo blew his beard at his youngest daughter and glared: "The blessed land of Dongtian has been around for a long time, the thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands are ranked in the top thirty, and the years and months of appearance can no longer be studied, it is said that it is still the first generation of Da Luo Jin Immortals to build the Xianjia Cave Mansion, and most of the later Dongtian blessed lands appeared after the Tang Dynasty, especially the Huangchao Rebellion, as for the blessed land in the last thirty, it was condensed by various sects and factions in order to avoid the invitation of the Mongolian court after the Southern Song Dynasty. ”
"Shibo, I still don't understand what this cave heaven blessed land means? However, when I was more than 10 years old, I once saw a ball of ice in a place called Baili Gorge in Beijing.
"I haven't seen it, it's hard to say, but, nine times out of ten, even if it doesn't lead to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of Cultivation, it also leads to the Demon Realm of Demon Cultivation, and that's a door. There is a saying in the Buddhist language, called: Na Sumeru Yu Jiezi, which is the meaning. Cave Heaven Blessed Land, is the use of very small holes, to create a wide and boundless world, originally, the thirty-six caves of heaven and seventy-two blessed land is completely separated, after Genghis Khan's expedition to the west, the world Daomen put down prejudices, and finally joined hands to open up all the cave heaven blessed land, outside and conjured up the world, from the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, continue to use the great mana from the current world to immigrate to the new world, the most immigrated is Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, that is Shushan, Qingcheng, It is said that the total number of immigrants is nearly 10 million, and some prefectures and counties have even been evacuated. The reason why the Ming and Qing dynasties continued to emigrate from the two lakes generation to Sichuan and other places was to fill the vacancy after the immigrants from the world. ”
Guan Xiao's eyebrows jumped slightly, about the Ming and Qing Dynasty immigrants, he also studied the history of this aspect, according to incomplete research, more than 300 years of Shanxi Hongdong locust tree immigrants exceeded 10 million, at that time some people said that it was mainly because Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty in Sichuan generation of massacres led to the great immigration, and in fact this statement is untenable, now the old man this statement...... It's reasonable.
"The Yuanming Dao Dynasty moved, and some real people were very worried about the beasts in the world swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon to cultivate into demons, for thousands of years, if there were no human cultivators to suppress these demons, ordinary human beings would have been wiped out countless times. In the end, the sages of Buddhism and Taoism reached a unified understanding, and jointly issued a notice to all the demons in the world that were more than 300 years old, inviting all the demons to move to the cultivation realm at the same time, and if they did not comply, then join hands to eradicate them. At that time, most of the ghosts chose to migrate. However, in this process, there are still disputes within the human race, because most of the cave heaven blessed land in the new world has a master, basically they are all famous and decent, and the aura of heaven and earth outside the cave heaven blessed land is far from comparable, in the end, some individual cultivators and a considerable number of powerful demons chose to create another world, that is, the demon world, although the area of this world is not as large as the cultivation world, but there are strong characters in it. Old Man Luo continued to tell the story.
"Is this the legendary fairy world?" Guan Xiao still didn't understand the connection.
"No, of course not, the immortal realm is the place where the qi refiners finally break free from the shackles of heaven and earth through self-tempering and rise into the sky, and that place is made from heaven and earth. ”
"That'...... What about the Western Heaven Elysium of the Buddha Gate, is it also in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land?" Guan Xiao has always been diligent and inquisitive.
"Of course not. Becoming an immortal is the ascension of the body, and entering the Western Heaven Elysium must be a void of the soul, both of which have not entered reincarnation, and the human beings in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land have also entered reincarnation, but there are no six realms of life and death, and which realm to reincarnate again after entering reincarnation is decided by the Eight Rhythms of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. As for the more detailed ones, I don't know too well. As Master Luo spoke, his expression was a little gloomy.
"That Shibo, is the final outcome that the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism leave us?"
This is not accurate, the backbone of Middle-earth Buddhism, that is, the Sutra sect, has indeed left, but the Tibetan Tantra has not left, and the cultivation realm and demons, there are still a very small number of people who have not left for various reasons, but over the years, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has dissipated extremely quickly, no matter how diligent you cultivate, it is impossible to become a great weapon after all. ”
"Then why don't the tantric sects in Tibet leave? Aren't they afraid of the aura dissipating? Guan Xiao asked one after another, Old Man Luo obviously didn't expect Guan Xiao to be so diligent and inquisitive, and the questions raised were quite tricky.
"Before the Ming Dynasty, Tantra did not have the current * and * two major living Buddhas, and according to the calculation of the Tantric Living Buddha at that time, although the aura between heaven and earth was rapidly dissipating, but the Tibet and Qinghai generation due to the high mountains and long roads, therefore, the aura passed much slower, so Tantra hoped to seek change in chaos. Besides, although they are all Buddhism, there is still a relatively large dispute between Tantra and Sutra, and most of the blessed land caves are opened up by Taoist monks of Sutra, and several immigrants are also Mahayana and Hinayana believers who have migrated to the Sutra, but if there is a little change, Tantra is not willing to wade into this troubled water. ”
"Then these are all what my master saw in Dunhuang?" Guan Xiao has already believed in the words of Old Man Luo - Guan Xiao's historical knowledge is too profound, and these things in history are basically in his mind, and it is exactly like this, I have to believe it.
"There's one more thing I don't understand. Guan Xiao looked diligent and inquisitive, but what occasionally flashed in his eyes was a look of looking at a joke: "Shibo, since the predecessors think that the road of science and technology is gradually going to a misunderstanding, what about it...... You're ...... in this house."
Old Man Luo's face turned red, and the two brothers of the Luo family next to him also turned red, isn't this a slap in the face in front of people? This kid is too bad, he can't open the pot, and he doesn't speak with dirty words. However, fortunately, Old Man Luo is an old man, and he looked up to the sky and snorted: "Guan Xiao, smoking is harmful to health, so has your master's dry smoking stopped?"
One sentence swallowed Guan Xiao back, yes, doesn't Ding Yi know that smoking is harmful to health, so smoking can be addictive, why can't the Luo family be addicted to high-tech? Is it illegal? How can it be cleaner than the butt of the thief?
