It is not surprising that Emperor Qi Lin blurted out such words. This is also human nature. For anyone, the first thing that comes to mind when facing a catastrophe is to save their lives. There is nothing to blame for such an approach.
"Yes, save your life." Li Qiye nodded gently and said slowly: "This is also human nature, and many people would do this."
Having said this, Li Qiye could not help but be silent for a moment, looking a little disappointed.
Seeing Li Qiye's expression, Emperor Qi Lin felt a little uneasy and asked softly: "Master, did I say something wrong?" Li Qiye raised his head, smiled faintly, and shook his head gently.
, said: "No, you are right. In times of crisis, it is instinct to save life. Any living thing will do this. There is nothing to blame. However, if a real disaster strikes, saving life is not that simple.
.It is not easy to protect yourself in the face of destruction, and you need to pay a price."
Having said this, Li Qiye looked into the distance, his eyes becoming very deep.
Emperor Qi Lin's daughter was a little confused by what Li Qiye said. The words were too profound and she didn't fully understand them.
After a while, Li Qiye glanced at Emperor Qi Lin and said: "Don't expect any savior, especially when the world is destroyed. Often the so-called savior is just fighting for himself and not offering sacrifices to heaven.
A person who does not sacrifice to earth or living beings is already very remarkable, and such a person can be said to be noble."
"Sacrifice to heaven, sacrifice to earth, sacrifice to living beings!" After hearing these words, Emperor Qi Lin couldn't help but murmured, carefully savoring Li Qiye's words, and then thinking of what Li Qiye had said before, she guessed a very
The terrifying possibility, when she came to her senses, she couldn't help but shudder!
In this moment, Emperor Qi Lin understood why Li Qiye said again and again, "Don't hope for a savior"! In this moment, Emperor Qi Lin thought of some very terrifying things.
This kind of horrible thing makes people feel chilly.
"Okay, let's not talk about such far-reaching matters." Li Qiye withdrew his gaze and said with a faint smile: "Such brown weeds can grow in the Buddha field because there was once a supreme giant who protected him here.
There are hundreds of millions of living beings here with unwavering faith, power of protection, and vast faith, making this place full of vitality...
"...However, the power of destruction is unimaginable and cannot be broken. No matter how powerful the power of protection is, no matter how vast the faith is, it cannot protect this world. Even weeds can barely survive. These weeds
They grow tenaciously, so they are different from the weeds in the outside world. They are born with innate deficiencies and have been punished."
Having said this, Li Qiye sighed softly and said nothing more.
Emperor Qi Lin couldn't help but daydream about it. What a powerful era this was, and what powerful creatures once lived on this land, but in the end they only turned into residual soil. "Let's go, let's go to Tuoling."
Li Qiye slowly spoke to Emperor Qi Lin's daughter, and then continued to move forward.
Tuoling is not far from Dihua City, only a hundred thousand miles away, but Tuoling is just the beginning of the Buddha's field. Only by crossing Tuoling can we truly enter the Buddha's field and truly enter the Buddha's field.
Appreciate the wonders of the Buddhist wilderness.
Tuoling is a high mountain. This mountain is very majestic and stretches for thousands of miles. But what is more shocking is not the majesty of Tuoling, but the buildings on Tuoling.
There are countless broken walls and ruins on top of Tuoling. Looking around, you can see a vast expanse of ancient temples and Buddhist temples. These ancient temples and Buddhist temples were once extremely majestic. Some Buddhist temples were even ten thousand feet high.
A Buddhist pillar can hold up to the sky.
It's just that these ancient temples and Buddhist temples have collapsed, leaving broken walls and broken bricks everywhere. What appears in front of you is a broken world.
Looking at the dilapidated world in front of us, we can imagine how grand and lively it used to be, or that this was once a Buddhist world where countless monks practiced Taoism and practiced meditation. Unfortunately, this place eventually turned into a
It was a ruin, and everything ceased to exist.
There is a stone-stepped avenue at Tuoling, which stretches from the bottom of Tuoling to the peak.
When Li Qiye and Emperor Qi Lin came to the foot of Tuoling, they stood in front of the stone steps that stretched straight up. Looking at the stone steps, it felt like a road to the sky. Although there was no fairy light or Buddha sound on this stone step,
But looking at the stone steps, I suddenly had an illusion, as if countless creatures had once bowed and kowtowed here, kneeling and worshiping step by step.
"I, I seem to have seen an illusion." Emperor Qi Lin said even though she was not very sure. Because at her level, it is impossible to easily have illusions. After all, her Taoist heart is very firm and she will not be easily fooled by illusions.
Confused.
"This is normal." Li Qiye said calmly: "If you were born in that era, when you stand here, don't talk about your moral conduct. Even if you are a low-ranking god, I'm afraid you would have been killed long ago.
Already kneeling here..."
"...I have already bowed to the ground, bowed three times and kowtowed with sincerity, and knelt down step by step. It's just that the time is too far away and the destruction is too powerful. It has already wiped out the transformation here. Otherwise, you would have been standing here long ago.
I have become a bhikkhu under my command."
"Is this a witchcraft?" When Li Qiye said this, Emperor Qi Lin's daughter felt a little terrified.
"How can it be magic." Li Qiye shook his head with a smile and said: "This is a majestic avenue. If it is compared to our Emperor's Art, then this is the pinnacle of the Emperor's Art. It can transform with a single thought, that is
Because the faith of countless creatures is not a power imposed by one person on anyone, it is the faith of countless creatures from one era after another..."
"...billions of living beings, the faith of one era after another, is full of compassion, light, mercy, and peace. This kind of belief has been accumulated one era after another. After a long period of accumulation, a person's
If you put your will here, it is just a drop in the ocean, insignificant. When you have such a belief, you are just a drop of water in the sea. Here you can only drift with the tide."
"Can faith be the Tao?" After hearing Li Qiye's words, Emperor Qi Lin finally understood something.
"Yes." Li Qiye smiled and said: "If you believe in my way, I will give you protection. It does not mean that I am your savior, but that we live together."
"That's why Foye has such a power of protection and faith." After hearing Li Qiye's explanation, Emperor Qi Lin understood why Foye was different.
"Go up and burn some incense." Li Qiye said to Qi Lin's daughter.
Emperor Qi Lin's daughter followed up, but she felt very strange in her heart. She wanted to speak, but she didn't know how to say it.
"Girl, if you have something to say, just say it." Seeing Emperor Qi Lin's open-mouthed look, Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and shook his head gently.
"Young master, do you have time to worship others?" Emperor Qi Lin didn't know how to speak, but in the end she said it directly.
After all, in the eyes of Emperor Qi Lin, a supreme giant like Li Qiye is already at the pinnacle of the world. Who else in the world is worthy of his worship?
"This is a tribute to the sages." Li Qiye looked at Emperor Qi Lin and said slowly: "Although there is no way to save the world, there are still brave men in the world who are moving forward, no matter in the final stage.
In times of darkness or in the day of destruction, they did not violate their original intentions, so they are worthy of respect."
"Do not violate your original intention." Emperor Qi Lin murmured.
"What do you think the monk's original intention is?" Li Qiye glanced at Emperor Qi Lin and said as she savored her taste.
Emperor Qi Lin was silent for a moment. She really couldn't answer this question. For many monks, their original intention was just to become the Great Emperor and Immortal King.
"What about after becoming the Great Emperor and Immortal King?" Li Qiye saw her thoughts and said with a faint smile.
Emperor Qi Lin was silent for a moment. What would a monk do if he became the Great Emperor and Immortal King? This made her unable to answer because she was not the Great Emperor and Immortal King.
"Fight to the end." Li Qiye said calmly: "When you embark on this path, it means that you will fight to the end. When you are still weak, you need to become stronger and fight with stronger people.
, when the image becomes stronger, you will fight with yourself and the sky, and you have to break out of the shackles of this world! Therefore, you must fight to the end."
"However, some people compromised along the way. Not everyone can fight to the ground. There were great beings in the past, but in the end they abandoned their original intentions and compromised along the way. But some people fought to the death.
After all, even if they die, they never regret, so they are worthy of respect..."
Having said this, Li Qiye sighed softly and said slowly: "This is why the Taoist heart is so important. Only if your Taoist heart is firm can you fight to the end. If your Taoist heart is not firm, no matter how strong you are,
, one day, you will also become the existence that you once hated."
"Are those who compromise hiding in the darkness?" Emperor Qi Lin's heart trembled at this moment. She vaguely guessed it, so she couldn't help but ask. Her voice trembled when she asked this topic because of this answer.
It’s so amazing, I’m afraid many people won’t be willing to face this answer.
"Let's go up and pay our respects. First, to pay tribute to the ancestors; second, to see if we can get the protection of the spiritual butterfly." Li Qiye did not answer the words of Emperor Qi Lin, but said slowly and moved forward. (To be continued.)
