Chapter 305 Ben Si
who I am?
Where do I come from?
Where will it go again?
These three questions have turned into countless witty and ironic jokes in the mouths of confused people in later generations, but in fact they are real discussions about the original cognition of human self. Even the wisest philosophers have discussed these three questions.
Even if I have spent hundreds of years trying to answer the question, I can't even answer the question.
In the past and present life, as well as in the absurd and bizarre reincarnations of nightmares, Xu Bao has more than once fluttered into the flames, challenging these three ultimate human beings beyond his own capabilities.
It would be correct to say that he found nothing, but he also did not come up with any answer that could be known to the world.
But it would be wrong to say that he gained nothing at all, because he also had some understanding of his own.
The Buddha is the Enlightened One, so what exactly did he realize? Perhaps only the Buddha himself knows this.
And Xu Bao felt that he could be regarded as an awakened person, or at a discount, half-awakened person. At least he discovered a question that interested him: What are people doing in this busy life?
I also found an answer that convinced me: confirm my own existence and my connection with this world.
The more you experience, the more you lose and gain.
This loss may be physical, and various accidents may cause people to lose arms, legs, or even certain organs, but until their lives are lost, at least the person has not really lost everything.
As for gaining, to put it another way, it can be regarded as a process of people becoming stronger. If he loses his arm, he will replace it with one made of wood, iron, or more sophisticated machinery. The same goes for the legs. The heart, liver, and lungs in the belly.
It may be more difficult to throw it away. If you have conditions, you can replace it with someone else's. If you have no conditions, you will die. People will also get other invisible capital, such as knowledge, martial arts, money and power. These are also
Something that makes people stronger.
Cogito ergo sum.
Xu Bao did not object to this sentence, but he felt that there was still half a sentence missing. Thinking about growth was the way for him to confirm his own existence. After thinking, he took action. This is the meaning of human life.
Growth, or becoming stronger, requires a comparison.
Why are the gods in people's mouth called gods, and why are Buddhas called Buddhas? If they are defined by wisdom and ability, why not call them humans? Or, for distinction, put various words in front of the word "human".
Adjectives like smart, wise, loving, holy?
Because compared with humans, they have exceeded the possibility of comparison in certain, or even every field, and beyond the scope of human beings.
Just like to animals like chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, humans are considered gods, and to bugs like ants, ladybugs, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs are also considered their gods.
Xu Bao has no intention of being called a god or Buddha. Although he has experienced countless incredible things in his past and present lives, he has never seen a real god or Buddha, so he cannot understand what their existence is like. This is just his boring thinking.
What he really wants to say about an element is "contrast" or connection.
Xu Xiaotian and Wang Zhi died in his hands, and his body... Although functionally incomplete, this time... he finally lived up to his name.
This was something he had to lose, and he had lost so much. At the moment when he was awake, he also thought about giving up his own life, a very serious thought, but finally gave up.
It's not that he's afraid of pain or death, or he's reluctant to part with this body of martial arts that can even be called magical powers. After all, he no longer has fear or joy among his seven emotions and six desires.
What Wang Mengdie said, "Chu Ju, Zeng Zhu, little emperor, you haven't lost everything yet" and "She hasn't died yet" are the basis for his survival. In just two sentences, his connection with the world is still there.
Without a complete cut off, there would be no reason for him to live.
The distance from Nanyang City to Jinling is 1,700 miles. A thousand-mile horse can travel thousands of miles in a day. Even if he runs non-stop, it will take him two days and nights. Xu Bao ran for ten days, but he ran back and forth five times.
Xu Xiaotian, Zeng Shixin, Chu Changyao, Li Guanxun, etc., and even Wang Zhen (Wang Mengdie mentioned his identity before leaving), are all from Tianmen after all.
Xu Baoneng understands the meaning of destination for eunuchs, so where is the best destination for them?
Xu Bao would never dig a hole in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for them. Tianmen and Underground Palace, that is where they should go.
The autumn air was crisp and the weather turned cooler. Although ten days was not a short period of time, at least their bodies did not start to decay.
The imperial palace in Nanjing is still the same as before, deserted and lonely. Apart from the patrolling guards of less than a hundred people, the only living creatures in the large palace city are rats and cockroaches.
Previously, I had tried my best to lure Li Zisheng to the Tianmen Underground Palace, and then cooperated with Wang Mengdie to escape from it. It can be said that each got what he needed. He solved the threat of Li Zisheng, and Wang Mengdie
Die Ze obtained the complete book of the Six Desires and Seven Emotions' Nirvana from the crazy woman.
The crazy woman is Tang Saier, the White Lotus Buddha Mother from the Yongle period. As for why she was trapped in the Tianmen and Underground Palace and why she became so crazy, only she herself knows.
The Yongle Dynasty has been around for hundreds of years, which means that Tang Saier is an old woman over eighty years old at least. But strangely enough, Xu Bao called her a crazy woman, which is true, but in fact, judging from her
His appearance is only over forty but not fifty. This may be explained by martial arts and internal strength, but what about food and drink? There is countless gold and silver in the underground palace, but it cannot be used as food.
Xu Bao didn't think about it carefully before, just thinking that she might occasionally run out of the underground palace to find some food, but now that his martial arts has reached such a level, he finally understands that the legendary Bigu is not just a legend.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Xu Bao is willing, it is not a problem to live for a year and a half without eating or drinking. During this period, if he eats a little something, even just an ant, it will be enough for him to cope with the consumption of his body for ten months.
When realizing this, another question came to mind - did Tang Saier and Li Zisheng die together in the underground palace?
Or only one died and the other was still alive and well?
A question is just a question, and the answer cannot appear out of thin air without any basis. Just like Schrödinger's cat, before opening the box and seeing it with your own eyes, the cat in the box is in a chaotic state of neither life nor death, both life and death.
cat...
Big head...
I don't know what it looks like now.
And Bai Laohaner.
