Chapter 16: The Gathering of Demons (7)
The news of what happened in the village community valley field soon spread throughout the village community with those fast-talking women, attracting many people to watch.
Those ants have not dispersed, but there are more of them, and there are still many butterflies staying on them, which is shocking.
Not long after he came to the village, no one knew what he was here to do, but the things he did were impressive.
It's about to be harvested, and it's good to say that the flail is good and labor-saving. So there were flails in the village community. How to install and drill holes, so that he can save the effort to bend over, he took a group of children to get out.
When there was a drought a few days ago, it was appropriate to say that watering was in line with heaven's will. So the men, women and children of the village community dug large pits by the ditch, carved out square troughs out of wood, and used simple orange trees to irrigate the water into the fields. Compared to other places, the crops here grow excellently.
The children said yesterday that they would be ready to eat fish soon. Why, just because it's appropriate. So the fish in the village community really ate today, and it was all fresh, and even the net was useless, so it was up to those children to do it casually.
And now these ants and butterflies have brought a great impact to these people.
Many people trembled or excited, and occasionally remembered the paradise-like life that they talked about on weekdays, and felt that it seemed really possible.
However, some people objected: "It is appropriate to say, the heavenly ghosts are dead, even if there are ghosts in this world, but they can't see, touch, or communicate with the world, in the existence and absence of their Mo family, there is nothing." ”
But some people asked, "If not, why do these ants gather here?" We may not see ghosts, but they will give us revelations, just like when we burn tortoiseshells for divination. ”
More and more people came around, and the fish that were cut open were in the sun, and people forgot about it.
Soon, Six Fingers quickly ran to Luhua's house and shouted, "Brother Sui! Go check it out! ”
Lu Hua thought that someone was hot or something, and was thinking that the things she had learned could be used, but she didn't want to use Six Fingers, so she shouted, "There are so many ants in the grain field...... Everybody says it's the ghosts and gods rewarding you......"
Shi sneered out and scolded, "If the ghosts and gods really want to reward me, then they should know what we ink masters want." If you don't give us what you want, but give these things, even if there are ghosts and gods, then they are ghosts and gods who don't know what people's hearts want, what's the use? As I said earlier, this ghost and god cannot be seen or touched, and it is not for us. ”
Six Fingers shouted, "I said the same, but they didn't believe it." ”
Shi heyed, and led Luhua and Six Fingers to run towards the valley field.
Before he got there, someone shouted that he was coming, and dozens of people got out of the way, some with some surprised expressions, as if Chen Sheng's apprentices in front of Daze Mountain heard the fox bark.
Even, some people are a little in awe.
Lu Hua also looked at the ants on the ground in a daze, he heard Shi say that Tianzhi ghosts and gods and the like heard the most, and it was summed up that Tianzhi is a rule, and ghosts and gods do not intersect with the human world.
But this kind of thing just happened, and seeing is believing...... Now that I see it, if it is not the will of the ghosts and gods, how can we explain it?
After walking over, he trampled a lot of ants to death.
Several people screamed, as if this foot was stepping on themselves, and their hearts said that this was the manifestation of ghosts and gods, how could they step on it with their feet?
After stepping on it, he pretended to squat down, pinched a little dirt with his hand, got up and said, "As I told you, this ghost and god are not connected to the world, and the only thing left is the Heavenly Wills that can be learned and launched. The heavens and ghosts are dead, how can you still believe that such a thing is a ghost or god? ”
This has been said more than once, and many people believe it, but now they still have some doubts when they see it. Those who have always believed in the doctrine of ghosts and gods asked, "You often say that seeing is believing, isn't this not seeing it?" ”
Shi smiled and asked, "What did you see?" Where's the ghost? It's obviously an ant. Could it be that you don't know this? ”
The man said anxiously, "This ...... Can ......"
Shi said: "I said, seeing is believing." Again, are you seeing ants or ghosts? ”
This time, everyone said together: "What we see is an ant, but the ant must be driven by an invisible ghost when it does this." ”
Shi shook his head and smiled: "If you want to say that, it's actually right." But it can't be said to be a ghost, but a celestial will. What Tianzhi? It's the celestial will that ants like sweetness, and it's unchangeable. It's nothing more than some greedy and playful child who went to get honey and spilled it here, for fear that you would accuse them of being playful, so I didn't say it. ”
At this time, he sold his six fingers again and said, "This kind of thing often happens. Six-fingered, this kid, you don't let him play in the water, don't you hide it from you? This is also the same, I'm afraid that you don't allow your child to make wild bees for fear of being stung to death, so the child will sprinkle it here after getting it, and I don't dare to say it. ”
The six fingers were behind Shi, aggrieved, and said in his heart, Brother Shi, why did you tell me?
Lu Hua smiled and solved the doubts in her heart, even if she didn't squat down and taste the soil, she believed the right words, and her heart said that it must be like this.
So she squatted down, took out her fingers and pinched a small handful of soil that had not yet dried, tasted it and spit it out, "It's really sweet, it tastes like honey." ”
Many people squatted down one after another when they heard this, and they had no respect for the ants who were like gods just now, and after spitting a few mouthfuls, plus the six fingers that were suitable for speaking just now, they all believed these words.
Waiting for everyone to calm down, he said, "Seeing is believing, and this is indeed the case." But what you see is an ant, not a ghost. So, all you can say is that you saw the ants get together. Why do you get together? It could be a ghost, it could be honey, it could be raining...... This is not nonsense. As I said a long time ago, the heavenly ghosts are dead, and the ghosts are not connected to the world, so why don't you believe it? ”
Wei grinned on the side and said, "I originally believed half of it, but today I saw the ants gather and I didn't believe it." Hearing you say that, I believe even half of it. ”
Everyone laughed, and then said, "Come on, don't care about these ants, it's a pity for these honey." Let's eat fish today. ”
The scene directed and acted by himself completely cleared up the previous beliefs and doubts of these people, and the sophistry that Tianzhi could be grasped and manipulated also made these people understand a little bit.
Everyone thinks, this ant and butterfly like sweetness, isn't this Tianzhi? This is unchangeable, the will of heaven is endless, explaining all things, but knowing that ants and butterflies like sweetness can explain what happened just now.
According to what those children said, isn't the way to catch fish and rats before is to master some Tianzhi that others don't know? The jar is top-heavy when it has rats, and of course it will be toppled over and blocked by stones, so that the will can be used on the orange tree that was used to get water in the drought a few days ago.
These people remembered that the children said that this kind of heavenly will was called a lever, which could be used in many places, and it was possible to calculate how much effort could be saved.
This kind of heavenly will can be learned and understood.
Thinking that they might also know part of Tianzhi, many people were both excited and scared, vaguely seemed to understand something, but they didn't seem to fully understand it yet.
After this incident, everyone only thought that a joke had happened, and from believing in doubt to being convinced, and from being convinced to being convinced of the opposite, and all kinds of doubts began to arise in their hearts.
"What is Tianzhi?"
Someone asked, applying the simplest reason, replied: "There is a long sword, and if you pierce the body, you will die; If you don't pierce your body, you won't die. Then it is much easier to follow the will of heaven, it depends on what you want to do. If you want to die, you will stab yourself in the body; If you don't want to die, you won't stab your body. But before that, you must know that if you pierce the body, you will die, this is Tianzhi. ”
Someone wondered, "It's so simple? ”
Shi smiled: "Is it simple? How do you know that if you stab yourself in the heart, you will die? ”
"Listen to people, listen to your parents."
"So how do they know? In the earliest days, there was always a man who stabbed with a sword before others could know about it, so that you could hear and believe. Therefore, to understand Tianzhi, you can listen to what others say, which is to hear and know; You can see it with your own eyes, this is your own knowledge; You can also see that others will die when they die, and you will die yourself, which is to say. This is what Mr. Mo Zhai once said, the truth between all things can be inferred, and the truth of many things is also the same, and if you understand the truth of all things, you can understand Tianzhi. But apart from the dead Celestial Ghosts, no one can understand the entire Celestial Will. ”
Someone shouted: "Can't you say Mr. Mo Zhai can't either?" And the original Jonny can't either? ”
Shi smiled: "Of course not. If you know all the heavenly wills, you must know how big the heavens are, how wide the earth is, when there will be rain, when there will be solar and lunar eclipses, when there will be droughts, and how to cure all the diseases...... Who in the world can say that he has mastered all the heavenly wills? But these things can be learned, and the more you learn, the more you can obey the original wishes of the heavenly ghosts, and the easier it will be to build the Nine Paradises in the world. ”
These people often heard Shi say what the Heavenly Ghosts, Heavenly Wills, Ming Ghosts, Nine Paradises and the like, and today they were provoked by him, one by one, full of curiosity and fantasy, and they asked: "According to the Heavenly Ghosts, do the people above the Ninth Paradise know how big the sky is, when there will be rain, and when there will be a solar and lunar eclipse?" What does the Ninth Paradise look like? ”
Shi smiled and recalled the world before he crossed over, so familiar that he didn't need to make up and imagine, and said loudly: "That ninth paradise...... People can know when it will rain three days in advance, they can know how big the day is, they can swim for nine days, and they can go down to the five seas to catch turtles. People know why grain grows, so they follow the will of heaven and produce ten stones of corn per mu; People know why thunder and lightning happen, so every house has candles that borrow the power of lightning; People know why the clouds float in the air, so it only takes a moment to fly from Song to Linzi in Qi......"
At this time, the most imaginative people could not imagine such a life. There are always loopholes in imagination, but Shi is a person who has really lived in the Nine Paradises, so his description is by no means sluggish, and it is the most immersive for these people.
When these suffering people heard this, they looked at the sky one by one and imagined what it would be like. It is not a paradise that can only be gone after death, it seems to be a paradise that can be built on earth, maybe a thousand years, but there is infinite scarcity for future generations, and it can always be reached.
In the midst of the distraction, some people realized that this was the ultimate paradise, not the present paradise.
So he shouted: "Suitable, what is the paradise we can reach now?" What does it look like? Those are too far away for us to know what we can see. ”
"yes, let's talk about it."
"That's it, let's talk about it......"
Shixiao asked, "Want to know?" ”
"Yes!"
He held out five fingers and said, "Now, the nearest paradise to us is the fifth, and it can be reached in this life. In the world, in the world, do you want to go? ”
"Yes! Since it will be better than it is now, tell me how we can get there. At the very least, let's talk about what it looks like, right? ”
Shi said with a smile: "Even if you know what it looks like, you can't just think about it." This fish will stink if you don't get it again, so let's drink fish soup, eat corn, and sunflower cabbage, and talk slowly. ”
