Chapter 1159: The Cause of the Death of the Human Emperor Fuxi
As the old saying goes...... But all the people in the great realm are the people of great hypocrisy.
And right now, the two great sages, Tongtian Sect Master and Amitabha Buddha, were originally enemies of life and death, but at this time, they showed a smile face-to-face and started a discussion.
At this time, after the Tongtian Sect Master laughed and ridiculed wildly, Amitabha Buddha on the opposite side fell into a short silence.
It seems that it is indeed as the Tongtian Sect Master said, his true purpose is precisely to ...... Occupy the entire Eastern Continent!!
And the key point to occupy the Eastern Continent is on the young Haotian.
It's just that Amitabha Buddha's silence didn't last long, and after a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said softly: "Tongtian, since you know my intentions, why do you want to stop me?"
As the words came out, the Tongtian Sect Master raised his head slightly and said softly, "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of becoming a Buddha?"
"Become the existence of the only one, save the suffering of the common people, and create a pure land of one side!"
Amitabha Buddha barely hesitated, and this sentence blurted out, very sincerely. Indeed, if he did not have such a state of mind, if he did not have the realm of praying for the blessings of the people in the world, how could he become a Buddha???
It's just that such words were once again exchanged for a sneer from the Tongtian Sect Master.
"Amitabha, if you don't save your own body, how can you save others? You haven't even done a good job in your Western Pure Land of Bliss, how dare you threaten to save the world?"
In this sentence, the meaning of ridicule is extremely obvious, but after Amitabha Buddha heard this, he actually changed his previous smile, and also brought a slight sneer, and said lightly: "Even so, it is a hundred times better than your Taoist." Looking at the East, under your Taoist rule, the land is full of wars, and the people are struggling to make a living, what qualifications do you have to come to me?"
This sentence of Amitabha Buddha is very levelless, and it feels like a child quarrelling.
It's just that a simple sentence hit the weakness of the Tongtian Sect Master and even the entire Taoism.
Indeed, since the beginning of the world, the Eastern Continent under the jurisdiction of Taoism has been plagued by constant wars and disasters, and it is like hell and heaven compared to the Elysium of Buddhism in the Western Regions.
But......
After hearing Amitabha's words, the Tongtian Sect Master did not change his smile and asked, "Amitabha, do you know a sentence of Lao Tzu...... Heaven and earth are unkind, all things are dogs, saints are unkind, people are dogs!"
The 'Lao Tzu' here is naturally ...... Taishang Laojun.
"Lao Jun opened the world and made great merits, and I naturally know his good words!"
In the words, the golden Buddha statue of Amitabha Buddha bowed in the breeze, expressing his incomparable respect for Taishang Laojun in his heart.
"Heaven and earth begot all things, and they did not want to get anything back. And when people help people, they often come with conditions attached in the hope of something in return.
Therefore, Lao Tzu said that people should imitate heaven and earth...... Heaven and earth gave birth to all things, and he did not take credit. Heaven and earth give life to all things, and he does not consider himself glorious. Heaven and earth have done good deeds to make all things endless, and he is not proud.
Whatever heaven and earth can do, it will be done, and there are no conditions.
Therefore, my senior brother once said that if you want to truly become a saint, you must imitate this fearless spirit of heaven and earth and cultivate such a mind.
Therefore, the real meaning of the senior brother's sentence 'Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs' is...... Heaven and earth look at all things, just like the grass dogs that have been discarded, and they are not particularly good to people, but especially bad to all other things.
And the second half of this sentence means...... The reason why people are inferior to all things is because of people's subjectivity, people's selfish concepts. ”
As if he was teaching the Dharma in the mountains, the Tongtian Sect Master opened his mouth lightly and carefully explained the meaning of these two sentences one by one.
After a moment, his words changed, his eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, and Zhengse said the last sentence: "Therefore, Taoism has always maintained such a mentality for people and Taoism for the world.
We, the Taoist saints, are not from above, numbly watching the continuous wars and disasters in the world, and taking pleasure in this. Rather, we can't control it, and we can't suppress people's selfishness. For example, what if you kill him?
People's selfishness does not change, people's desires do not decrease, and after a few years, the world ...... Everybody's a king!!"
In the last sentence, the Tongtian Sect Master's loud and magnificent words almost blasted into the hearts of everyone present, causing endless resonance!
Hearing such words, Amitabha Buddha's face also became solemn, his hands were folded, and he bowed to the Tongtian Sect Master again, and said sincerely: "Senior brother is really great wisdom!!"
"If I really have wisdom, how can I come to this Qin country today?"
After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Master smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "The meaning of those two sentences is very simple, and it is extremely easy to understand, but it is too difficult and too difficult to do!"
For example, I, as a saint, thought that I could also see all things as dogs. But in the vast years, I suddenly found that my selfishness was also very heavy, I didn't want to see my disciples die tragically one by one, and I didn't want to see the sectarian forces being crushed by others.
In this way, although I have the supernatural powers of a saint, I have lost the realm of a saint. When this heaven and earth returns to the desolation again in a few years, I am afraid that I will no longer be immortal!"
This sentence reveals an amazing fact, that is...... With the passage of time, even saints can hardly resist the expansion of selfishness and desire in their hearts.
Therefore, it may not be long before they cease to be immortal.
In other words, they become 'mortals' who can be killed. And in order not to be killed, the only thing to do is to ...... Take control of everyone who can kill you.
Although the words are ordinary, the mystery contained in them is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Therefore, even though many people in the Qin State had heard the words of the Tongtian Sect Master, only those who could really guess this were ...... Amitabha.
After a moment of silence, Amitabha Buddha suddenly said solemnly: "Senior brother, the human emperor Fuxi back then, but he died tragically because of this?"
The Tongtian Sect Master didn't know why Amitabha Buddha suddenly asked this, he subconsciously frowned, then nodded with difficulty, and said: "He has the power of slaughtering saints, and he intends to lead the human race out of the chessboard, therefore, the heaven and earth are so big, how can there be a place for him? Back then, even if I didn't make a move, my two senior brothers would not wait for him to grow up enough to threaten themselves." ”
As soon as the words entered his ears, Amitabha Buddha showed a rare human expression on his face, and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that a generation of Tianjiao! It's a pity, it's a pity!"
In the middle of the words, he bowed in the breeze again, expressing his respect for the human emperor who had already fallen for a thousand years.
Then, he raised his head slightly, and in his eyes, which were still bloodstained, there was a sudden sense of war, "Senior Brother Tongtian, since you can see my original intention, then it is inevitable that you and I will fight today." It's just that I'm still curious, how did you guess Hao'er's identity?"
