Chapter Ninety-Seven: Shocking Three Views
The direction that Jue Yuan Yao pointed was shrouded in the perennial fog here, and we couldn't see it clearly when we stood on the boat, and Hui Gen'er just rowed the boat towards that side with her head down.
Jueyuan didn't answer my question, and I didn't keep asking, because I thought of another question, that is, the ghost town that Jueyuan said was so powerful, are we a little constrained on the ship?
But there is basically no solution to this problem, just because none of us can float lightly on the water, and it is impossible for us to move on the water, and the biggest dependence is on this boat.
"Actually" Jueyuan spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Jueyuan's body, Jueyuan seemed to enjoy this gaze, and couldn't help but trim his jacket proudly, before continuing: "I want to say that there is no so-called city, but ghosts gather there, and we are used to calling it a city." The so-called new city and the old city are just two forces here, the old and the new. ”
"Ghosts and factions?" Ruyue asked in surprise.
"I don't know about this, but from what I know about history, there was no place in the beginning, only hierarchies. After all, the world of ghosts is more cruel than ours, and many ghosts are thought to devour other spirits, and they have long formed a hierarchy here, and then continued for many years, forming a force unique to ghosts. Jueyuan said seriously.
"Go on." I was also more interested in this topic, but Jueyuan stood up and said something next to Hui Gen'er, and the boat changed direction again.
"We're quite familiar with this side here, and it's always clear what is dangerous and what is relatively safe. Let Hui Gen'er avoid it a little, and there is always less trouble when entering the boundary monument. Jueyuan explained to us.
Then he continued: "In short, this force has continued in this way, and there has been a legend in the upper echelons, that is, there are two masters of the Taoist Buddha and the two masters who have reached an agreement with this place to be safe, and the people of the Taoist Buddha will not strangle the ghosts here on a large scale, and the ghosts here must also stay safe in the outer array built by the human race, and cannot go out easily." Human beings need a place like this, where many ghosts and ghosts are housed, and ghosts will also need such a place to stay. ”
My eyes widened, I always felt that this was too ruin my three views, how could it sound like a temporary agreement between other countries for some kind of benefit when humans and ghosts have reached an agreement?
If ordinary people knew that there was such an agreement to whitewash their ordinary days, what kind of expression would they have?
"Actually, it's not surprising, Chengyi, I said that your master protected you too well. If you think about it carefully, don't be limited to Huaxia, even if you look at the whole world, there will always be a place within a radius of hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, etc., inaccessible, gusting winds, or some are simply direct, remote and uninhabited places, how many ghosts do you think there are in this world that die with resentment and do not enter the reincarnation smoothly? What would the world be like without a place like this? Jueyuan looked at me with a smile.
"What?" This time it was not only me who was shocked, but everyone was shocked, including Brother Chengqing, who has always been very calm.
Only Xiao Chengqian grabbed his head and said: "This statement seems to have been mentioned by my grandfather vaguely, saying that there are some places in this world that you can't go, and they belong to the territory of ghosts, and everyone's well water does not interfere with river water." I was not convinced, saying where did I get so much land? My grandfather laughed at me disdainfully, saying that 70% of the world is still the sea, and asked me what I thought. ”
"Originally, the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts was also such a place where well water does not interfere with river water, do you know? The reason why it is so famous in the circle is that it is a place where ghosts are rampant, is nothing more than because of the new city. Jueyuan said seriously again.
"You mean?" I felt like I had grasped something.
Jueyuan stood up again, habitually tidied up his clothes in good spirits, pretended to be very handsome and went out to guide Hui Gen'er in the direction, and then came in and said: "That's what I mean, I don't know too much about that period of history, the high-level of the various major sects are secretive, and the people of the hidden sect don't like to mention it, and I also got the qualification of the successor to know this secret, but the details are not very clear." Probably you can understand it this way, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, there used to be only one and only king here, and then a new king rose, no one obeys anyone, but no one can help anyone, so the old and new forces have been formed. The old forces are still following the promise of mankind."
"So it's the new forces that are stirring up trouble, that is, the new city you are talking about? Why do you say that my ancestor must have been to Xincheng? What if it's the Old City? "Actually, it's no wonder that I have to ask, deep in the human soul there is such an instinctive instinct to avoid, if you can not go to the new city that sounds very troublesome, but to the old city that sounds friendly, who wouldn't want to?
Although in my bones, I also think that the yin veins under the lake, the ghost gate in the yin veins, and the lake village in the village surrounded by ten thousand ghosts should not be solved by us going to the old city, but I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart.
"The Old City? You think it's safe there? Let me use an analogy, two people, originally A has been doing things according to the rules for many years, and suddenly a B appears, he does not follow the rules, and then he fights for greater freedom and interests, and does not get any specific punishment, what do you think A will think? The Old Town isn't a paradise to hide from here, either! And the reason why I am sure that your ancestor went to the new city is because the senior monks of our vein said so, and the new city is too noisy, and your ancestor went to beat it. At that time, it was also the time when the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts 'became famous', and it became famous because of the restlessness and the rampant ghosts. After your ancestor has been there, it has gotten better, but the reputation is there after all, and there have been occasional accidents over the years, which are related to ordinary people, but they can also be suppressed, not too much, and human beings will also give appropriate responses, such as using the formation to do something. "I asked a question, and Jueyuan said a lot more, but what was said shocked us.
It turned out that we were born at the wrong time, and this lake of ten thousand ghosts had already become chaotic, just because there were two considerable forces in the game, and this 'hall' was too small, otherwise it would be a complete destruction of one party, or one party would be 'killed' out.
It's just that ghosts exist like this in this world, which still makes me dumbfounded, in my original cognition, there should be some wandering ghosts in this world who have not gone to the so-called place of reincarnation for various reasons.
There are also some ghosts who have killed people to take revenge or have a wish because of the resentment in their hearts.
But I never thought that ghosts could be distributed like this in the human world, and there was an agreement with a certain secret level of human beings, and there were even power disputes.
"Silly, huh? In this world, even if we think we are standing high and seeing far away, in fact there are always scenery that we can't see, and there is also the sky that is above and can't be touched. Fear and respect are the attitudes that human beings should have. When Jueyuan said this, his vision was calm and far-reaching, I think this kid will go out to be a god, there will be many believers.
"It's just unfair, why are our Taoist family 'bloody and bloody' as soon as they come here, the surrounding village is surrounded by our Taoist guarding the lake! And your Buddhists don't seem to have been troubled by ghosts until now, and even your kid can still spend time in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, give a reason? "Young Master Xiao was unhappy, he crossed his legs, held a fine cigar in his mouth, and asked Jueyuan with a rather 'complaining' look in his eyes.
Jueyuan smiled indifferently, stood at the bow of the boat a few steps, and said in a distant voice: "I just said that the concepts of the two families are completely different. Taoists are always more radical, and Buddhists are always more compassionate. The Taoist family believes that almost all of them here are unjust ghosts, and it is the only special area in the prosperous world, so it is better to fence it up, and when the strength is enough, it will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Even if it can't be killed, it must be ruthlessly suppressed, the so-called people and ghosts have different paths, Taoism has the responsibility of Taoism, and the Taoist family will not interfere in the disputes of people in the world, but this matter of Yin and Yang II is the responsibility of the Taoist family. ”
This is indeed the right thing for our Taoist family to do, but do the Buddhist people think differently?
Without waiting for me to ask, Jueyuan spoke: "In the eyes of the Buddhas, all living beings are equal at this time, and the moment you put down the butcher's knife is the beginning of becoming a Buddha on the ground.
Jueyuan said leisurely, but I interrupted Jueyuan with a sentence and asked directly: "To put it simply, you Buddhists want to clean up this place, right?" ”
Jueyuan smiled, and didn't answer my words again, it is estimated that the reality made him a little sad, not long ago, he also said such a sentence, it is just a means for ghosts to be cunning and paralyze the enemy, to stabilize one side and suppress the other
At this time, Hui Gen'er, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Buddhism is gentle, but it is not weak, for the sake of a pure land, it is also indispensable for the arhat who enforces the law, King Kong, to make a thunderous shot." A few years ago, I once put down the rosary and picked up the sword, which is almost the same, I would like to walk in the most tragic place, since I can't do it, it is better to kill a happy one. ”
Jueyuan didn't speak, just sang a Buddha name, and then said that the boundary monument was about to arrive.
