Gossiping Jianghu (Part 2)

“That’s what I’m worried about.” Emperor Zhenwu said quietly: “People with great wisdom often look at the future after a thousand years, and after ten thousand years, they care less about the things in front of them.”

“Buddha died, or disappeared.” He continued: “The Jade Emperor suddenly lost his opponent in the game, how would he feel?”

Emperor Zhenwu stared into Yi Tianxing’s eyes: “I have always suspected that the Jade Emperor must be thinking about a problem. If the Buddha can die, then he must also have the day when he will end. Whether it is a human or a fairy, if you live for a long time , in the end, he will only consider one question, where is his way out?”

where do i come from where do i go

Yi Tianxing almost laughed out loud, but his face sank immediately, and he found that what the Emperor Zhenwu said made sense. No matter who it is, after living as an old goblin, you don’t have to worry about life and death, and you don’t have to worry about glory and wealth. Just become a shit philosopher.

Qin Shihuang likes to take medicine, it is becauseHe is afraid of death.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked to climb mountains because he was afraid of death.

Kangxi children want to live another five hundred years.

The Jade Emperor did not have this problem, who told him to live forever.

If you live forever, what will you do in the future to be the emperor? Will you get tired of it?

Emperor Zhenwu approached Yi Tianxing, his handsome face looked a bit gloomy: “Why does the Jade Emperor practice Buddhism? Because he is tired of being an emperor, he wants to find a new world, he wants to have his own pure land, he wants to find a Not the way you planned.”

Yi Tianxing frowned deeply: “He is willing to play in the Pure Land, and Amitabha Buddha must be very welcome.”

Emperor Zhenwu shook his head: “You don’t understand, this is a study. The point he wants to understand is where the way to go is. The Pure Land is just a road he tried. The Pure Land in his heart is not the Western Paradise Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha.”

Yi Tianxing closed his eyes for a long time, and said slowly: “I have studied Buddhism and Taoism. In my opinion, no matter what kind of exercises, they are actually just tools. As long as you practice to the top, it should not be too big. The difference. I don’t understand why the Jade Emperor gave up Taoism and didn’t participate, but went to join some Pure Land sect.”

Emperor Zhenwu said indifferently: “Because he practiced Taoism, but he couldn’t solve his last problem.”

He stared into Yi Tianxing’s eyes: “After you went to heaven, didn’t you feel that the heaven is very quiet?”

Yi Tianxing nodded.

Emperor Zhenwu continued: “What is the heaven?” After saying this, he gently stretched out his index finger and placed it in the air between him and Yi Tianxing. He didn’t see how he moved, but only some White fairy air emerged from his fingertips.

The mellow and upright immortal energy that was as white as milk left the fingers of Emperor Zhenwu, and began to slowly rotate counterclockwise around the fingers.

The surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness, and the old tortoise in the snowy peaks and valleys could no longer be seen. It was just darkness, and in the darkness was a thick white fairy breath swirling faintly.

Yi Tianxing couldn’t see himself either, but he didn’t panic, knowing that Emperor Zhenwu opened up a space with his powerful magical powers, and began to explain to himself the origin of the heavens.

His heart was peaceful, and he was not very excited, perhaps because he knew many years ago that someone would definitely tell him.

In the boundless darkness, the small glowing air mass was compressed to the extreme, just a small point, floating in the boundless void that seemed to have no boundaries, appearing very lonely and small.

The voice of Emperor Zhenwu rang faintly in conjunction with the fairy air mass that gradually darkened and disappeared into the black background.

“At the beginning of primordial enlightenment, the beginning of heaven and earth, from non-existence comes into being, and from being comes into one.”

As Emperor Zhenwu’s words resounded word by word, the already dead and dark space suddenly shone brightly.

At that randomly appearing point, at a point in that space, there is a sudden burst of light, and countless rays of light radiate from that point, wilder than fireworks, more dazzling than the sun, as if in the world All the energy is released by such a simple process.

In one second, from a tiny invisible point, an extremely strong energy release suddenly occurred, in the form of light and invisible light, erupting, surging, wildly occupying the empty space, even time.

Yi Tianxing wandered around, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

He immediately understood that this was the scene where Emperor Zhenwu was demonstrating the creation of the so-called world. Although it was a virtual space, it was imprinted in his consciousness, and the incandescent heat still made him squint his eyes subconsciously.

Energy particles are erupting, encroaching in all directions, and spreading out in an approximately uniform manner. The temperature drops sharply within tens of seconds, but still maintains billions of temperatures, transforming into different shades of light, like an extremely high temperature It swallowed up the space like porridge.

Such a high temperature is enough to incinerate gods, spiritual bodies, nuclear bombs, the world, the heavens, the underworld, and everything.

It’s just that at this moment, none of this happened.

Gradually, this model of the universe in the virtual space calmed down, the fiery particles clustered together, turned into a high-temperature cloud, and then became colder, atoms began to be produced, matter began to condense, and the unbalanced rotation The cloud of smoke begins to collapse into a nebula.

The universe keeps expanding, the temperature keeps dropping, and various types of cosmic matter begin to appear in front of Yi Tianxing.

He felt a little moved, being able to witness this process of “creation” from scratch.

Just like the slides that can be seen in any junior high school audio-visual classroom.

The universe began to cool down in a predictable way, and began to look like the current world. Galaxies, nebulae, stars, and planetary substances began to exist in different forms, and began to attract, entangle, and rotate with each other step by step.

One of the planets has cooled down, and there’s a big, weird-looking rock next to it.

There are clouds, electricity, and water.

With blue.

With green.

With life.

There are people.

Then there are the celestial beings.

The fairy left the blue planet and broke through the space, found a strange area, in this area, the form of matter is completely different from the form of matter in the space where the blue planet is located.

It’s like a natural barrier.

“These spaces should be heaven, how does it exist?” Yi Tianxing gently put his hands together in front of his body and asked softly.

The empty and illusory space disappeared, and the two returned to the back of the turtle. There were still countless faint balls of immortal energy spinning around the index finger of Emperor Zhenwu, which looked very beautiful.

“It’s like bubbles.” Emperor Zhenwu smiled, and the fairy air balls on his fingers suddenly turned into countless groups of bubbles clinging to each other like soap bubbles. There are countless bubbles, and each bubble is a space, and they are connected to each other, and they can’t even touch at all. And human beings cultivate immortality, which is to get rid of the limitations of matter and find a way to enter another space.”

Yi Tianxing quietly stacked ten fingers together and put them on his knees, thinking that this statement is somewhat similar to the “anti-matter world” that is popular in the human world today.

“These spaces nestled together like bubbles are not attached together according to the physical rules of the human world, but have countless passages running through them. To understand this, you must completely reverse the content you learned in the human world. Don’t use space Think about the concept.” Emperor Zhenwu slowly explained: “But five hundred years ago, most of the passages in the eastern world were destroyed, and the gods of foreign religions you mentioned have never had anything to do with my eastern world, so I don’t know what it looks like over there now.”

“Well, I seem to be able to travel through these spaces, and it seems to be quite smooth.” Yi Tianxing remembered that the celestial immortals need to disperse their bodies in the lower realm, and only rely on their souls to focus on their bodies. He wondered, “Why don’t I have this problem.”

“I don’t know.” Emperor Zhenwu shook his head and said, “Although you almost died from the glacier, you were too frightened. The glacier was originally a natural barrier between the two heavens, and you actually barged in. The physical strength is too scary.”

Yi Tianxing recalled at this time, the thought when he entered the cloud layer from the lower heaven, he couldn’t help but feel a little scared, the wind in that glacier was really amazing.

Emperor Zhenwu continued: “It is not so easy to be holy in the flesh. The heavens have been around for so long, but in fact, only the Great Sage, Erlang God, and you are considered authentic. The Li family and his son took a different path, and Lei Zhenzi and Wei Hu are just making up the numbers. It’s just that the Heavenly Court didn’t want to make the Great Sage and the Erlang God look too much higher than a publicity trick.”

“Oh.” Yi Tianxing shrugged and didn’t speak for a long time, “It turns out that the gods are not omnipotent. If they want to go to the lower realms and get out of the rebirth, it is indeed a troublesome thing. No wonder Chen Gougou is in Jiujiang. It took so many years for the teacher to recover his supernatural powers.”

He suddenly asked: “Then what kind of realm can an immortal be able to come and go freely in these spaces?”

Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly, knowing what he was worried about, and sighed: “The seven great Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist family naturally have this ability. There are quite a few immortals with this ability in the heavenly court, but these people are all practicing purely.”

Yi Tianxing immediately thought of the handsome killer Bodhisattva, the Great Strength Bodhisattva, who moved every minute, the moonlight moved six times, and the world moved, and his face gradually darkened.

“Then who created this world?”

“You ask me, who do I ask?” Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly, and the fairy air bubbles on his fingers exploded lightly, turning into countless faint blue star spots, covering the two of them, like the eternal world in the world. Unchanging stars of the universe.

Yi Tianxing raised his brows: “That’s right, I always think Jehovah is too daring to brag.”

Emperor Zhenwu looked up at the scenery in the ice and snow, and after a long silence, he suddenly said: “The Daoists don’t care who created this world, they create something out of nothing, how can they force their guesses, which is not in line with the meaning of quietness and inaction.”

“Buddhism is different. They have always believed that there are several worlds that exist in parallel, and that the beginning and end of a single world is just a catastrophe.” He turned his head to look at Yi Tianxing, smiling, “Actually, at the root, The bubble I showed you earlier may be the three thousand worlds that Buddhism thinks. But the calamity is just a legend. Maybe the Buddha really experienced the calamity, but he didn’t tell anyone about those Buddhist classics. Not entirely convinced.”

“I’m not that stupid in Quanxin’s promotional materials.” Yi Tianxing said coldly: “How did those three old men in Sanqing teach you?”

Emperor Zhenwu shook his head and sighed: “Or, they are thinking about this issue in a quiet and wonderful place.”

“I don’t know where I came from, and where are I going?” Yi Tianxing also shook his head. When he said this earlier, the reason was that the two were discussing that the Jade Emperor might go mad and fell into the “Where am I going?” Ultimate nonsense.

“From where to go, to where to go.” Emperor Zhenwu sighed: “Although the words are beautiful, they are just as good as not to say. Any intelligent life, if it has enough time to think, will inevitably think to this step. And it is not surprising that a person with great wisdom like the Jade Emperor is deeply involved in this. You have seen how the world was created and how life was created before. Don’t you want to know what the end of the world is? place”

“The world is endless.” Yi Tianxing replied, tugging at his hair, feeling faintly in his heart that he seemed to be catching something, but the thing showedHis face was always covered with a layer of dust, so he couldn’t see clearly.

“If the world is endless.” Emperor Zhenwu looked into his eyes quietly: “Then why does life exist? Plants, trees, willows, birds, animals, and priests, concentrate on history songs, seek virtue today, and keep practicing , what is the purpose of training?”

The emperor smiled, like a middle-aged photographer who just ate an orange-flavored hard candy.

Yi Tianxing cried, thinking that this is not taught in philosophy class, you are always forced to ask, but you can’t answer it by yourself, it is very embarrassing.

Emperor Zhenwu was infatuated, he seemed to be intoxicated by this problem, and wanted to go to retreat and practice.

Yi Tianxing knew that these gods who had been cultivating for countless years were a bit paranoid like a scientist, so he hurriedly woke him up: “Don’t worry about these nonsense, let’s talk about the Jade Emperor first. Well, let’s treat him as a waste of political affairs, so we have to talk about it. Then what are you going to do?”

He was grinning, but in fact he was very suspicious. If the person in front of him was going to be Cao Cao, then Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would smoke opium, and his wish should be fulfilled.

Emperor Zhenwu frowned: “Oh, there is nothing in the heavens, and it is not easy to find stones for thousands of years. The immortals live in seclusion and have nothing to worry about. Naturally, they will think more about things. If they think too much, they will easily become crazy.” , Those gods with profound Taoism are hiding in their own caves, and they may not come out once in hundreds of years. Under the quiet and inaction, the immortals are even more indifferent. Don’t you think this heaven has become lifeless now?”

Yi Tianxing’s pupils narrowed slightly, thinking that this is indeed the case. Ever since he went to the heaven, he found that this clean and unstained world has no trace of life, and it is horribly quiet.

“The higher the realm, the easier it is to be unruly in everything, and the easier it is.” Emperor Zhenwu coughed twice: “Deadly.”

Yi Tianxing scratched his head, thinking that this had nothing to do with him, even if the heaven became a pool of stagnant water, so what if his family was happy, even if all these gods committed suicide, it would be a happy thing.

Emperor Zhenwu’s next sentence broke his beautiful fantasy: “Fortunately, this is just a trend, not reality. After all, there are not two people who can cultivate to the state of no joy, no hatred, and no worries.”

“Then you’ve been talking nonsense here for a long time.”

Emperor Zhenwu looked at him and shook his head: “I’m worried that the Jade Emperor has cultivated to that level. After all, he is the emperor of the heavens, commanding all the immortals in the heavens. If he still ignores political affairs like these years, I’m afraid the heavens will be in chaos. Now God Erlang has also rebelled, and the fifth princess has disrupted the order of the Three Realms, and after three days in the mortal world, she even opened the dragon-slaying platform privately, letting the immortals descend to the realm to kill mortals.”

He shook his head again, pressed his neck lightly, as if his head was heavy: “I can’t bear this trend to continue.”

“What are you going to do?” Yi Tianxing raised his head, glanced at him, and asked lightly.

Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly: “I’m going to fight, I’m going to win the throne, and I’m going to put enough pressure on the Jade Emperor to get him out of the current state of confusion.”

Yi Tianxing struggled to get out of this shock. He was not shocked by Emperor Zhenwu’s naked declaration of rebellion, but was shocked that the other party would rebel because of such a ridiculous thing in his own opinion.

Am I crazy, or is the god crazy? It seems that I have been a god for a long time, and I am a little unclear.

“War is always the only magic weapon to promote the progress of the world. If I want to rejuvenate this lifeless heaven, I can’t find a better way except war.” Emperor Zhenwu’s eyes sparkled, “Jade Emperor is A person with great wisdom, once he feels that his position is under great threat, then he will be able to get rid of the current mental state of radiance, and drive those monks from the pure land out of the palace.”

Yi Tianxing took a breath and shook his head subconsciously: “I really don’t know whether you are loyal or annihilated.”

Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly, called up the cup of light blue water from the hut on the turtle shell, took a sip, and did not answer.

“Ah, the weather is nice today.”

Yi Tianxing sat on the slowly walking turtle shell, propped his body back with his hands, forced a smile, and said haha.

Emperor Zhenwu gave him a meaningful look, but still did not speak.

Yi Tianxing felt a little hairy when he saw his eyes, and suddenly thought of something, he asked: “Great Emperor, you and my son are old acquaintances, we are also pen pals, thanks to you helping me heal my injury, I also Thank you, today’s Longmen Formation is full of surnames, I have heard a lot of gossip, oh, the sun is not bad, I’m just surprised, I’ve been in heaven for a long time, the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of the Pure Land Sect, they know that our family has a relationship with them Unresolved hatred, why no one comes to trouble me?”

Emperor Zhenwu smiled and explained: “The Jade Emperor and Amitabha Buddha are on good terms. This is under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor. Naturally, the Pure Land will not be allowed to be presumptuous. Although the Great Strength Bodhisattva is cold and cold, he will not come here to ask for someone.” His words changed, and he said leisurely: “But you made such a fuss in the heavens and killed many generals, even the fifth princess. I’m afraid the Jade Emperor won’t let you go, you’d better stay with me Safer.”

Yi Tianxing rolled his eyes, smelling a hint of threat and conspiracy.

Be a loyal minister with you, endure humiliation and use rebellion to inspire the Jade Emperor to work hard

Such a perverted thing, Yi Tianxing would not do it even if he was beaten to death, he is sick.

“BesidesBar. “Yi Tianxing waved his hand, just like buying vegetables in a vegetable market, there are still carrots at home, let’s talk about it tomorrow.

Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly and said nothing.

“Tell me about Journey to the West. I’m more interested in gossip about the old master.” Yi Tianxing grinned.

“No more.” Emperor Zhenwu said lightly: “There are always many conspiracies hidden behind every incident. I don’t deny this, including so many things that happened on the way to learn the scriptures. But you have to remember, and Not every conspiracy has a complete ending, many are happening, and many have been silently annihilated. A well-constructed conspiracy may even have not had time to play a role at all, and it will be in due to some very coincidental things. End without anyone knowing.”

“I read a lot of books, and this kind of thing is common in history.” Yi Tianxing nodded solemnly.

Not every conspiracy has a complete ending.

Not every love song has fond memories.

The same reason.

During the westward journey, the battle between the blood clans, the monkey may have been a great cosmic conspiracy organized by the Buddha with an idea, but now that the Buddha has done so, the conspiracy has no executor, and it naturally came to an abrupt end.

“Tell you a gossip to make up for the loss.” Emperor Zhenwu suddenly laughed, “Qin Zi’er is the little princess of the Jade Emperor. Although the Jade Emperor has ignored political affairs these years, the fifth princess still adheres to her father’s usual work The method, knowing that Master Guanyin threw you into the lower realm, so I made two preparations, one was ready to kill you with the Roaring Dog, and the other was still ready to play the family card as it was a thousand years ago.”

He frowned: “This should be regarded as a beauty trick, but unfortunately it still failed. No wonder Xiao Wu hates you so much.”

Yi Tianxing’s mouth was wide open, and the white teeth inside were silently amazed, like a child who had just swallowed a gecko, full of incredible expressions.
