Chapter 94: Cutting meat to feed the common people, part of the truth about the world
"The Six Roots of the Great Sage. I have my own arrangements."
Lin Yuan said.
"." Maitreya Buddha was silent.
After a while, he said:
"I spent my mana to create a cave for you that can hide the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Court and Lingshan Mountain. Now the True Lord says I won't use it anymore. How should I compensate me?"
"Uh"
Lin Yuan probably realized what the plan of Erlang Zhenjun mentioned by Maitreya Buddha was.
That is the main line of the original trajectory of the world of Black Myth
On the bright side.
The main line of black mythology.
After the death of the great sage, the people of destiny searched for the six roots of the great sage one after another in order to resurrect the great sage.
Five of the six roots of the Great Sage were assigned by Erlang Shen to the Black Bear Spirit, the Yellow Wind Monster, the Yellow Eyebrow Monster, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, and the Bull Demon King. The last and most critical root of intention was preserved in Erlang Shen's Heavenly Eye. middle.
Waiting for the most suitable destiny person, after passing many tests and obtaining the five roots, he will hand over his mind root to him, so that he can obtain the complete power of the great sage.
But
Collect all six.
Is he really the Resurrection Monkey King?
uncertain.
In Lin Yuan's view.
Whether it is Heaven or Lingshan, they actually do not value the life and death of the Great Sage.
It doesn't matter whether the Great Sage is alive or not.
What makes them care more is
The spirit of resistance and struggle shown by the Monkey King.
Heaven and Lingshan do not allow such a spirit to break out in this world.
Because this is something that will shake the foundation of their rule and their interests.
Therefore, after gathering the six roots, there are countless people who are destined to succeed.
In fact, it is for the sake of being in this world.
Rekindle that spirit of struggle!
But this is Lin Yuan's own guess. Whether this is the case may be known later.
Anyway.
Regarding Erlang Shen’s plan.
Lin Yuan probably knew something about it.
That is to build the plank road openly and visit the old warehouse secretly.
On the surface, it is said to Heaven and Lingshan that the destiny person who has the ability to collect the five roots of the Great Sage is the reincarnation of the Great Sage. After collecting the five roots, the destiny person will arrange for people to continue to wear tight hoops on him.
In this way, Heaven and Lingshan will be able to obtain a loyal thug who has no spirit of resistance.
But secretly, actually.
There is no destined person with the intention to reincarnate.
Only a Destiny Man who is most suitable to inherit the will of the Great Sage can bring out the rebellious spirit of the Great Sage to the Destiny Man, and even a Destiny Man who can go further on the basis of the Great Sage!
The root of the mind has been kept in the Eye of Heaven by Erlang Shen from beginning to end, and is handed over to such a man of destiny who is superior to others.
Erlang Shen will hide in the Meishan Cave opened by Maitreya Buddha, waiting for the arrival of such a destined person.
certainly.
In fact, this is just Lin Yuan's own speculation.
It's hard to say whether Erlang Shen's real plan is like this, but some aspects are close to it.
After clarifying his thoughts, Lin Yuan said to Maitreya Buddha:
"How do you want me to compensate you?"
Maitreya Buddha did not answer immediately, but looked around with a smile:
"I see that the True Lord's magic power seems to be very abundant. He does not hesitate to accumulate it at his own expense, but also bless all living beings. It seems to be purifying the world, but in fact he is changing the world with his own wisdom.
People in this prescription can live forever by eating Qi, but in fact, they can live forever by eating the power of the True Lord.
This kind of behavior is just like the Buddha cutting meat to feed eagles, but the true king is even more cruel, cutting meat to feed the common people.
I’m curious”
Maitreya Buddha squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Yuan:
"Why on earth would the True Lord dare to do this?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said:
"Of course I have the confidence to do this. Do you want to try it?"
As he said that, Lin Yuan had a looming depressive aura around him.
Maitreya Buddha felt it, and his pupils suddenly shrank:
"The true king's strength has reached this level? No wonder he suddenly changed his plan"
Then he said with a smile:
"But there is no need to try. In this world, it is not easy to replenish mana. Those gods and Buddhas who compromise with their delusional minds can unscrupulously devour living creatures and restore their spiritual power.
I still want to maintain my original intention and use less mana if I can. ”
Lin Yuan nodded.
I also know it in my heart.
The gods and Buddhas in this world are actually quite powerful. However, due to changes in the world, there is a problem with their spiritual power. It is difficult to refine it directly. They can only rely on the flesh and blood of living creatures to refine their pure spiritual energy.
Therefore, when the gods and Buddhas fought, they all developed a style of fighting in close quarters instead of randomly casting spells.
After all, fighting in close combat doesn't consume much mana.
"Okay, I already know the current situation of Zhenjun. As for compensation, I just said it casually and don't take it seriously.
The power should be my small support for Zhenjun's current plan. The Meishan Cave Heaven, Zhenjun holds now, should also be able to play a role. ”
Maitreya Buddha patted his belly, and a huge picture of Meishan emerged and floated towards Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan took it and felt how vast it was. It could even be said to be a cave in a small world. He had a rough idea of Maitreya's strength.
Just this hand is the means to open up the cave.
The essence of strength may be comparable to that of Emperor Qinghua in the world of Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun.
And based on the status of Maitreya Buddha in Buddhism. In comparison
The strength of the gods and Buddhas in this world is no less than that of the gods and Buddhas in the world of Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun?
Is the Jade Emperor's strength considered a slightly weaker Haotian?
Lin Yuan suddenly felt interesting.
"Then what frightened me at that time, maybe it was really not someone else, but the Jade Emperor who could exert the power of heaven?"
"But since the Jade Emperor is in charge of the way of heaven, why should he care about the monkey's fighting spirit?"
Thinking like this, it gave rise to more questions.
In short, through Maitreya Buddha, Lin Yuan probably already has an understanding of the level of strength in this world.
so.
He became more confident.
He looked at Maitreya Buddha and said:
"Buddha is so kind when he comes from the east."
Maitreya Buddha shook his head.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Calling me by my first name before has given you a benefit, so you can call me Donglai Buddha.
This guy is also a reality.
He said with a smile:
"Compared to the True Lord cutting off his flesh to feed the common people, what do I mean? I am just trying my best. I also hope that the True Lord will succeed in the end."
Lin Yuan nodded and asked again:
"I just heard the Buddha from the East say, why do those gods and Buddhas compromise with their delusional minds?"
Maitreya Buddha pondered slightly:
"If the true king understands Buddhist scriptures, he will know that everyone in the world has two minds, one is the true mind, and the other is the delusional mind.
The true heart is the original nature, untainted by the six dusts, and not troubled by the seven emotions and six desires. On the contrary, the delusional mind is formed by the collection of the seven emotions and six desires, and various entities."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuan waved his hand and said:
"I understand these, and I still know a little bit about Buddhist scriptures. I just want to know what it means for gods and Buddhas to compromise with delusional minds."
Maitreya Buddha was silent for a moment, looked at Lin Yuan, and said:
"Is the true king really ignorant or falsely ignorant?"
He thought that Lin Yuan was asking him what a delusional mind was, but it turned out that Lin Yuan asked why he gave in to a delusional mind.
And the answer to this question
Isn’t it known to all normal gods and Buddhas?
Buddhism talks about the true mind and the delusional mind, while Confucianism talks about the human heart and the Taoist mind, that is, human desires and natural principles. Taoism and Confucianism are similar.
In essence, it is desire and self.
Mortals have two minds coexisting and are troubled by desires, while gods and Buddhas all have one mind.
The single-mindedness here is not to completely cut off all desires, but to cut off unnecessary and redundant desires.
Such as laziness, evil and so on
But since the great change of heaven and earth, the spiritual power of heaven and earth has been able to make gods and Buddhas have delusional minds and have many desires, making gods and Buddhas coexist like ordinary people.
Over time, the world became what it is today.
This situation is known to all gods and Buddhas.
Many gods and Buddhas could not control their delusional minds again, so they gave in to their delusional minds and regarded the world as food.
But there are also some gods and Buddhas who can maintain their sincerity and are not affected by delusional thoughts. They always think that one day, the purity of the world will be restored.
But Lin Yuan seemed to understand the situation and even came to ask him.
How could this not make Maitreya Buddha think that Lin Yuan was teasing him.
Lin Yuan also realized that he might have asked a question that was common sense to gods and Buddhas, so he said without changing his expression:
"I paid a heavy price for my breakthrough in strength, so some of my memories are not very clear."
When Maitreya Buddha heard this, he suddenly understood:
"No wonder the true king would do such a thing of cutting off flesh to feed the common people. It turns out that it is not only the confidence brought by the increase in strength, but also
Almost completely surrendered to his own delusion? In this way, I can also understand why Zhenjun loves me so much. ”
"."
Lin Yuan didn't know what Maitreya Buddha had imagined, but it didn't matter, as long as it was a good thing.
Then I heard Maitreya Buddha continue:
"The so-called price of the True Lord is actually not a price. The memory is not very clear. It is just because those memories can easily make the True Lord's delusion appear again. Therefore, the True Lord in the past decisively cut off the memories in order to make his heart pure.
Therefore, one will not know the nature of the influence of gods and Buddhas from the delusional mind.
However, in this case, I can't reveal much of the real situation to Zhenjun, otherwise it will be my fault if Zhenjun shows his arrogance again. ”
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said:
"What is there to say? Now that I have given up my delusion, I will not be affected again!"
Maitreya Buddha was silent.
After a moment, he nodded:
"What the True Lord said really enlightened me, so I will tell the True Lord the truth."
"This piece of heaven and earth. True Lord has also seen that the spiritual power of the heaven and earth has changed. Mortals do not eat Qi, so it does not matter, but monks and immortals need to eat Qi to live forever, but they are deeply affected.
At first, the changes occurred, but the gods, Buddhas, and monks didn't care about it. But later, the gods and Buddhas became delusional, and their temperament changed drastically without them realizing it.
At that time, the world was more chaotic than it is now. Gods and Buddhas seemed to be possessed by demons, and even called themselves demons.
However, at the critical moment, the Jade Emperor regained consciousness. He shocked the gods and Buddhas, causing them to regain their sanity from being manipulated by their delusions, and ordered the gods and Buddhas not to eat.
How can one live forever without eating Qi? Out of delusion, the gods and Buddhas hid the Jade Emperor's secrets and kept captive demons and common people in order to refine elixirs. ”
"Shortly after the Jade Emperor regained consciousness, he seemed to have fallen into a situation of two-hearted competition. However, unlike gods and Buddhas, some gods and Buddhas compromised with their delusional minds and kept people in captivity for immortality, while some gods and Buddhas tried their best to maintain their sincerity. .
The Jade Emperor is sometimes influenced by his sincerity and is very clear-headed, and sometimes he is influenced by his delusional mind and is swayed by desires.
In this case, in order not to be punished by the Jade Emperor who was awake, the methods used by the gods and Buddhas to keep the common people in captivity were more subtle.
They did not dare to act recklessly, but pretended to be prosperous in order to make the Jade Emperor think that the gods and Buddhas maintained the order of heaven and earth very well. ”
"This is the real situation on earth today."
Lin Yuan finished listening.
It was also a sudden realization.
So.
The reason why Taishang Laojun wants to retain the stain that Buddhism destroyed the Yasha clan is actually because he wants to have a way to prevent Buddhism from taking rash actions when the Jade Emperor is awake?
So.
"This world feels like another dark version of the world of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun?"
