Jiang Liuer said in surprise: "The Buddhist theory of creation means that all things are caused by the earth, wind, water, and fire, and all things will inevitably return to the earth, wind, water, and fire. Humans are also one of the theories of earth, wind, water, and fire.
The Taoist theory of creation states that Qi generates Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang generates the four phenomena, and the Four Symbols generate the Bagua, from which the heavens and the worlds are transformed, and humans are still born from them.
Although the theory is somewhat similar to what you said, senior, neither of the two families mentioned Pangu. Did Pangu really exist?"
The old man ignored Jiang Liu'er's doubts and continued: "Whether Pangu existed or not is not important. What is important is the myth and legend itself, which represents the faith and will of all the original races."
Jiang Liu'er didn't understand even more. In his opinion, these primitive myths had no impact on ordinary people's lives at all.
The old man continued: "Maybe you think these myths and legends from ancient times have no meaning, but you must remember that these myths contain the common will of all living things. When we believe they exist, they really exist, and
Use the wishes generated by the spiritual will of all living beings as food, and become gods to guard this world."
Jiang Liu'er became even more confused after hearing this. He didn't know why the existence that all living beings believed in must exist.
The old man handed Jiang Liu'er a book that was only circulated among the demon clan. It recorded ancient myths and legends that had disappeared.
Jiang Liu'er flipped through the pages. Through the old man's explanation just now, he already knew that the gods such as Pangu, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Donghuang Taiyi recorded in the book should all exist. They are some kind of special gods rooted in the thoughts of all living beings.
This really challenged his old thinking.
Liu Menghan said: "The birth of our Mengtapir clan is inseparable from the will of all living beings. You have entered that world, do you know what you saw outside the Abi Hell?"
Jiang Liuer recalled that when he sank into the deepest place, he seemed to have seen chaotic dreams.
"Is that a dream?"
"That is the sea of spiritual consciousness formed by the convergence of the will of all living beings. It contains the subconscious mind of every living being, which is the consciousness that you cannot usually feel. It is also called the seat of the true spirit."
Jiang Liu'er opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Isn't it the alaya consciousness that Buddhism talks about?"
Liu Menghan didn't understand Buddhism at all, so he didn't answer Jiang Liu'er's words.
Her grandmother continued: "Tens of thousands of years ago, during the period when King Wu conquered Zhou, there was a battle to confer the gods that lasted for thousands of years."
Jiang Liuer's views exploded again, and he said in surprise: "King Wu's campaign against Zhou lasted for thousands of years? Are you kidding me? This is not what is recorded in history books."
Liu Menghan said: "Shang and Zhou are two countries that coexist. Shang is strong and Zhou is weak, but Zhou has always been determined to replace Shang.
Before King Wu conquered Zhou, the two countries had been fighting openly and covertly for countless years. During the period when King Wu conquered Zhou, the duration was by no means as simple as recorded in history books.
Because at that time it was no longer a war between two human countries, but a war of chaos that included all races and gods.
Basically every god and Buddha you know participated in that war. Buddhism officially intervened in the middle of the war, which directly led to the complete defeat of the old gods."
Liu Menghan's grandmother said: "During this period, in order to fight against the old gods, Heavenly Court and Lingshan did a major event that changed the world.
They sacrificed all the humans in Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniuhezhou! Tens of billions of people died in one day.
Strong resentment vibrated within the collective spiritual consciousness of all living beings, eventually forming the thing you have seen, which is the Abi Hell.
The sea of suffering that now divides the four continents also became harmful to mortals at that time due to the confusion of cause and effect, making it impossible for the four continents to communicate physically."
The facts he learned today were too challenging to Jiang Liu'er's common sense, and he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"The resentment in the sea of consciousness continues to pollute and erode the subconscious of all living beings, which directly leads to the fact that for thousands of years, as long as the living beings in the world fall into dreams, they will be affected by nightmares, die in the dreams, and even mutate.
Nightmares are those creatures that have been alienated by nightmares. As for our dream tapir family, they are also a species that emerged on its own by gathering the willpower of all living beings subconsciously in order to resist the erosion of nightmares.
It specializes in eating nightmares to maintain the balance and stability of the world. Because it was born here, every generation of dream tapirs is very aware of this history, and also knows that the gods and Buddhas in the world today cannot be trusted."
Jiang Liu'er himself was shocked by his three views and went into hibernation for a short time. At this time, the intelligent corpse in his body took over his body.
He said solemnly: "The deities and Buddhas who can be ruthless and cruel and sacrifice billions of human beings at the same time are obviously doing it for themselves and not for the benefit of the world.
I really want to know what they sacrificed to the old gods that billions of people defeated, and where they went."
Liu Menghan said: "Those ancient myths and legends I told you before, the gods and demons in them are all old gods!"
Zhishi flipped through the book and found that in addition to Pangu, there were also weird and inhuman gods such as Fuxi, Nuwa, Gonggong, and Zhulong.
Immediately I thought that since gods are born from the willpower of the consciousness of all living beings, they cannot all look like humans. It is normal to have strange and weird appearances.
"Emperor Fuxi, Donghuang Taiyi, Nuwa, Gonggong, and Zhulong are all old gods? So where did they go?"
Liu Menghan said: "There are four continents in the world. Zhanbuzhou in the south is where mortals live, Shenzhou in the east is where the heavens live, Niuhezhou and Lingshan in the west are located, and there is Luzhou in the north. What do you think it is?
?”
Zhishi was shocked, "Where have all the old gods gone? Why don't the gods and Buddhas attack them? These powerful forces must be beyond our imagination."
Liu Menghan's grandmother said: "The entity of Beiju Luzhou has been shattered by gods and Buddhas long ago, and it even caused the sea of suffering to tremble. But it is still there, because even Beiju Luzhou is the embodiment of the consciousness of all living beings.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as all living beings are immortal, Beiju Luzhou will not disappear, nor will the old gods hiding in it. You should think about why gods and Buddhas
Have you been advocating a new mythology system so that ancient mythology will completely disappear from your human world?"
Zhishi suddenly understood and said: "As you said before, the old gods were born from ancient myths. They were gods born from the willpower of the consciousness of all living beings and relied on the spiritual will of all living beings.
Therefore, the old gods should not be completely killed. The reason for banning ancient myths is to cut off the spiritual and will connections between living beings and the old gods as much as possible.
No matter what, this can at least weaken the power of the old gods, I guess I was right."
Liu Menghan and her grandmother smiled and nodded.
Her grandmother said: "This method is indeed effective, but unfortunately, even gods and Buddhas have limits to their authority.
The human world has been eroded, but various races still exist. You humans refer to us collectively as the demon race, but you don’t know that it is us demon race who have inherited these ancient myths.
It also allows the old gods in Beiju Luzhou to still maintain a certain degree of power, restraining the gods and Buddhas so that they cannot truly act arbitrarily."
Zhizhi pondered for a moment and finally asked a very important question, "What will happen if all the old gods disappear and the gods and Buddhas completely control this world?"
Liu Menghan and his grandmother were both stunned. Liu Menghan frowned and said, "Are you willing to entrust your life and destiny to a group of alien gods who can sacrifice billions of people at any time?"
Zhizunbao, who had been listening quietly, also said: "The fact that they can sacrifice billions of human beings at any time shows that in their eyes, the lives of all living beings are just tools that can be traded and used at will.
From a normal point of view, it is impossible for a normal person to leave his fate in the hands of such a group of people who have no regard for his own life. Resistance is the instinctive choice!"
