Chapter 351 Reading Journey to the West on the Journey to the West
After dealing with those complicated and trivial things.
Chen Yun embarked on a new journey just as he and Bai Shi said.
Curiosity about the concept of "Peng" naturally starts from Garuda in Buddhism or Hinduism.
So.
Chen Yun's trip to the west can be called a different kind of journey to the west.
It’s just that although he doesn’t have a disciple with great magical powers, he can be said to be very capable. At the same time, there are no difficulties or obstacles along the way, and it can even be said to be quite easy.
So he moved forward very quickly.
Just like the roc that flaps its wings for ninety thousand miles.
Although Chen Yun's speed is not that fast, it is still quite terrifying.
Even when I went to a bookstore and bought a copy of Journey to the West.
He set off on the evening of May 28th.
In the early morning of May 29th, he had arrived at the Himalayas, the roof of the world, slowly compared to his own speed.
This is the barrier between China and India.
Chen Yun, who believes in the principle of the shortest straight line between two points, chose to cross here directly.
The tallest mountain range on earth stood quietly in front of him, as if he were an old man who had gone through vicissitudes of life, quietly telling ancient stories.
The mountain peaks rise and fall, reaching into the sky.
Above the snow line, the mountain tops are covered with white snow, reflecting dazzling light in the sun, like countless diamonds inlaid under the blue sky.
In the distance, several eagles soared in the sky, hovering or swooping, forming a moving picture with the majestic mountains.
Chen Yun took a deep breath. The unique freshness and purity in the air made him feel more comfortable than ever before.
But on the most spectacular mountain range on the planet.
Chen Yun didn't show much excitement or anything.
Tell the truth.
The scenery is indeed quite novel and magnificent.
But in his eyes now, it no longer seems so spectacular.
Now the radius of his mental perception range has reached 10,000 meters, which is a length that exceeds the height of the highest peak in the Himalayas.
That towering mountain that countless climbers want to conquer.
In his eyes, with such a macro perspective, it was just a scene that could be seen at a glance.
There is indeed novelty.
Shocking, but really hard to feel.
People lament the Himalayas because they are so huge that they are among the best in the world, but if they can be seen at a glance, the feeling of being shocked is really difficult to achieve.
Just like when Chen Yun was an ant, when he saw the bed, he thought it was a giant. But when he was a human being, he would only think that the bed was mediocre.
It's not because the scenery in front of him is no longer shocking, but because he has stood at a new height and looks at the world from a new perspective.
Now, he can easily uproot Mount Everest with his spiritual stance, and can destroy the world at will if he makes a deliberate operation.
So I am no longer shocked by the so-called roof of the world that I can play with at will.
When Chen Yun stood at the highest point of the Himalayas, a place that ordinary mountaineers pursue all their lives but cannot climb.
You can see the boundless sea of clouds all around, as if you are in a fairyland.
Everything beneath my feet becomes so small.
Several snow peaks in the distance are looming in the clouds and mist, like fairy mountains and palaces in fairyland.
But such extraordinary scenery is not unusual for him who often soars into the sky.
Because every time he slowly closed his eyes, he could feel the breath around him.
The sound of wind, birdsong, and even the sound of running water in distant mountain streams became clearly audible. His mental perception range covers a radius of 10,000 meters, and he can see every detail.
Be extraordinary to others.
To him, it was ordinary.
[Well, it’s really good, but what next? 】
This is probably Chen Yun's true thoughts at this moment.
This feeling not only made him feel proud, but also made him feel a little lonely.
"Perhaps, this is the price of growth."
Chen Yun smiled slightly, opened his eyes again, and looked forward firmly.
This will not stop him.
His journey has actually just begun.
Of course.
Although he was not shocked, Chen Yun still stopped in the spreading snow-capped mountains with the purpose of checking in and a lot of novelty.
He took out the "Journey to the West" he carried with him and opened it gently, sat down cross-legged and read through it.
The raging wind and snow around us can't affect anything.
Even the corners of his clothes couldn't be blown.
Chen Yun was like an expert outside the world at this moment, sitting quietly on the top of Mount Everest and reading "Journey to the West".
Everything within two meters of the body seems to draw a circle, shielding the wind and snow from the outside world, making the circle as calm as a mountain despite the wind and rain.
This is like using the shelter method in "Journey to the West".
The so-called shelter method is to use a golden hoop to draw a circle on the ground. Don’t underestimate this circle. The book says, “The circle drawn by Lao Sun is better than that copper wall. What a tiger and leopard he is.” No wolves, worms, monsters or monsters dare to get close, but you are only allowed to sit firmly in the middle to keep you safe."
Of course.
Although Chen Yun's pirated shelter method can also defend against tigers, leopards and wolves, considering that there is no special factor involved in mana, it is just a defensive shield fabricated from a spiritual standpoint.
So specifically whether it can block demons and ghosts.
Chen Yun really doesn’t know.
But it is still easy to block the wind and snow to ensure that I can read by myself.
And Chen Yun wants to read the original work of "Journey to the West".
It is precisely because I am curious about the concept of "peng".
Now, the "Peng" he most resembles is the Garuda in Indian mythology and the golden-winged Dapeng in Journey to the West.
And one of these two is the origin of the concept of "Peng", and the other is the most well-known character of "Peng".
So on his way to India to look at Garuda statues everywhere, he planned to read Journey to the West several times.
Because his reading speed is so fast, even though there are restrictions on turning pages of paper books, he took advantage of the time between flights to read "Journey to the West" over and over again.
When he was sitting cross-legged and taking a nap on the top of Mount Everest.
I have also read the Shituoling chapter again.
Shituo Ridge, also known as Shituo Mountain and Eight Hundred Miles Shituo Ridge, is one of the place names in the Ming Dynasty god-evil novel "Journey to the West".
Shituoling Ridge is occupied by three demon kings: the green-haired lion monster, the yellow-tusked old elephant, and the golden-winged eagle. There are a total of 47,800 little demons, who are the bright faces of the little demons in the original work of "Journey to the West" A huge force with the largest number.
In order to eat Tang Monk's flesh, the three demons Dapeng were afraid that they would be in trouble, so they became brothers with the two demons, Green Lion and White Elephant, and conspired with Tang Monk. The battle at Shituoling occupied four of the eighty-one difficulties: road obstruction. Sixty-one difficulties for lions and camels, sixty-two difficulties for monsters divided into three colors, sixty-three difficulties for disasters in the city, and sixty-four difficulties for asking the Buddha to control demons.
In general.
No matter how you look at it.
This is a story in which Buddhism lets a group of pets perform a show in the lower world in order to collect Buddhist scriptures.
Some people say that this plot actually satirizes the cruelty and restraint of society, as well as the abuse of power and the indifference to life. Some people say that the plot of Shituoling also reveals certain problems within Buddhism. The relationship between the Dapeng Golden-winged Sculpture and the Buddha’s Mother, Peacock and Daming King Bodhisattva, as well as Tathagata Buddha’s attitude towards this, hint at the possible power struggle and indifference within Buddhism. Tathagata Buddha chose to sit idly by and ignore the behavior of the Dapeng Golden-winged Eagle, which also reflects the indifference of some people in society towards the weak and the abuse of power.
But for Chen Yun, who only came to see "Peng", these opinions were of little significance.
One thing to say.
He is not interested in these conspiracy theories.
After reading it so many times, what he cares more about is the ability shown by the Golden-winged Dapeng.
Because theoretically speaking, one's own evolutionary abilities are evolving according to the template of "Peng", so these displayed abilities may be obtained after a certain evolution.
Although Chen Yun feels that his evolutionary ability may not have gone in the same direction before, it may have evolved in the direction of Superman. I don't know why he has now determined "Peng" as the template.
But no matter which way you evolve, there is no difference.
Just evolve.
As for the various abilities of "Peng" that he has learned so far, he is quite satisfied.
Don’t say anything else.
Just the power to flap its wings and fly ninety thousand miles is almost one-seventh of the speed of light.
This is calculated by flapping the wings only once per second.
Let’s talk about the golden eagle in reality.
Generally speaking, the frequency of the golden eagle's wings during normal flight is about 1 to 2 times per second. When it needs to accelerate quickly or chase prey, the frequency of wing beats may increase to 3 to 4 times per second. In extreme cases, such as when diving to hunt, the golden eagle's wingbeat frequency may reach about 5 times per second.
What's more, the golden-winged roc?
If he could possess such extreme speed, he could probably touch the upper speed limit of the universe immediately.
Although he can use his spiritual position in the vacuum to continuously accelerate himself through the void, it will take a long time to accelerate to close to the speed of light.
It is better to start at the speed of light.
In addition, there are two gas bottles of Yin and Yang.
This is a treasure of yin and yang qi. There are seven treasures and eight trigrams in it, and twenty-four qi. It takes thirty-six people, according to the number of Tiangang, to lift it. This treasure can contain people. If a person remains silent in it, the inside of the bottle will be extremely cool. Once he speaks, fire will come and turn it into liquid in a matter of seconds.
I just don’t know if magic weapons can be reflected in the evolutionary process.
If it were Garuda in Indian mythology.
Then there are many more magical powers.
For example, the magical power of foot power, other mind power, destiny power, heavenly ear power, heavenly eye power, and the ability to catch and swallow five hundred dragons at will every day.
Even Western mythology has many settings regarding the concept of "Peng".
Western books such as "Apollo's Travels" and "One Thousand and One Nights" all contain stories about rocs. It is said that the circumference of roc eggs is fifty steps, and the food gathered by rocs is There are a large number of pythons that can spit into an elephant's mouth; there is a record in the diary of an Arab traveler that "I thought it was a mountain, but it turned out to be a roc".
The origin of the Western roc may be traced back to the ancient Persian divine bird "Amrzs".
This bird has experienced the three great kalpas of the birth and death of heaven and earth, so it knows everything. It has the body of a bird, the head of a dog, or the face of a human, with its wings stretched out to cover the sun, moon, and stars.
In ancient Persian mythology, there is a "tree of knowledge" that produces seeds that turn into thousands of plants and trees in the world. "Ezi" builds its nest on it. Whenever the fruit matures, it shakes it down and sows it in the mountains and rivers of the earth.
Chen Yun feels that his super-intuitive ability, which is like cheating when reading scripts, is an evolution towards the "knowing everything" possessed by Ezi.
Or it may be that he is evolving towards Garuda, who possesses the power of fate. After all, the power of fate possessed by Garuda can know the ability of past lives, including his own and those of others. That is to say, you know the destiny of yourself and all sentient beings in the three realms and six realms for hundreds of thousands of lives and what you have done.
No matter what.
In short, it is the ability that the concept of "Peng" can have.
His future is bright.
There are still too many abilities related to the concept of "Peng" waiting to be used as templates for imitation and truly demonstrated by his evolutionary abilities.
Chen Yun even felt that he could try to influence the world's impression of the concept of "peng" and guide the addition of more similar cultural products in human imagination.
The concept of "Peng" will also evolve to be omnipotent.
In fact, it is not impossible to replace the template for evolutionary ability selection with an existence like God.
Just after careful consideration.
Chen Yun thought it would be better not to change it easily.
It is better to develop the concept of "Peng" honestly and prosper the cultural industry.
Think about this for a moment.
Chen Yun also saw the clip in "Journey to the West" where the golden-winged roc was subdued by the Tathagata.
In the original work, when Tathagata finally conquered the roc.
The Dapeng bird said: "Where you fast and eat, you are extremely poor and miserable; here I eat human flesh, and the benefits are endless! If you starve me, you are guilty."
The Tathagata's answer was: " I am in charge of the four major continents, and countless sentient beings look up to me. Whenever he does something good, I teach him to sacrifice to you first.”
For Chen Yun.
The words of Dapeng are naturally not difficult to understand.
As for what Tathagata said, it is not difficult to understand.
But this seems to be talking about Zhu Bajie being the envoy of the altar.
After all, you can enjoy the tribute just like the Jingtan messenger.
Only in comparison.
The Golden-winged Dapeng needs an additional word "sacrifice first".
Looking at it this way, Zhu Bajie, who is also a person who can enjoy Buddhist sacrifices, is more like a person who eats the leftovers of the Golden-winged Dapeng.
Think about it this way.
Chen Yun couldn't help but smile happily.
I raised my eyes and looked at the unchanging snow scene around me, and then inadvertently glanced at the roof of the world below me.
Chen Yun stopped to take a nap for the time being.
As he slowly closed the book.
The effect of the sojourn technique disappeared, and the quiet area on the top of the mountain was once again ravaged and shrouded by the ruthless wind and snow.
It disappears together with this magical shelter effect.
There was also Chen Yun, who was sitting on the top of the mountain reading a book like a master from outside the world.
……
When Chen Yun’s figure disappeared from the sky.
A team of climbers finally overcame many difficulties and successfully reached the top of Mount Everest.
They hugged each other gently with excitement, tears shining in their eyes. Those are the tears of a winner, the joy of victory after challenging the limits of nature.
Although Mount Everest is the roof of the world, there has never been a shortage of people to conquer it.
Captain Li Ming has climbed to the summit more than once.
As an experienced, calm and calm person, he seemed particularly calm amidst the cheers of his teammates.
He subconsciously looked around, but his eyes suddenly fixed on a special place - there was a relatively flat circular area there, which was not in obvious contrast with the surrounding unevenness.
To be precise.
The snow on the ground within the circle seems to be a layer thinner than the wind and snow outside?
The difference is not big.
Before he could see clearly, the gap had been smoothed out by the wind and snow.
He looked at his teammates who only dared to celebrate quietly due to lack of oxygen, cold and many other factors.
Li Ming stopped thinking about it.
