Chapter nine hundred and ninety nine thousand lights
"So this is why we thought this matter should shock the world, but it turns out that most ordinary people seem not to have heard it." Qin Yi said: "Because in the hearts of most ordinary people, immortals and gods have nothing to do with them... but in fact you
I know that in the hearts of the monks, they have nothing to do with mortals, and they even seek to transcend the world of mortals."
Liusu whispered: "Yes. Now is really different from the ancient times. Monks and mortals have been invisibly divided into two parts... To a certain extent, Yao Guang's prediction is right."
There is a clear rule in Yaoguang's order that heaven and man are separated, and immortals and gods do not interfere in human affairs.
Although her order has not been implemented in time... tens of thousands of years of changes, whether it is because the monks seek transcendence, or because they are superstitious and do not want to be contaminated by the karma of the mortal world, in short, the monks have long been invisibly separated from the mortals.
Mortals who prayed to God and worshiped Buddha did not receive any response, but were tricked into using sesame oil by Buddha sticks and Taoist sticks in order to seek psychological comfort.
The main reason is that the practice in this world lacks a teaching, which is concerned with oneself. It is a little sidelined with the universalization of sad wishes, but the sad wishes have gone astray. Therefore, in a world where there is indeed spiritual practice and great supernatural powers, in the secular world,
It behaves like an atheistic world, with very obvious divisions. Even if we now know that it really exists, that’s just the way it is.
Ordinary people don't expect monks to come to rescue people in distress. When encountering evil spirits, I will pay for it and you will help me. We know that there are true immortals. If you have the conditions, you will go and seek immortality by yourself. If you don't have the conditions, you will take it for granted.
did not hear it.
The monk has no intention of being a nanny for ordinary people. I have worked hard to cultivate Taoism. If I want to rely on anyone to help me, it is from the sect. If I am successful in cultivation, I will give back to the sect. Other people’s affairs are none of my business. If I don’t harm others, it’s my fault.
If you help someone when something is unpleasant to you, and you can have some empathy for living beings, then that is the right path.
To put it bluntly, Qin Yi's own Xingxia is just like this, and he has no right to criticize others.
The person who truly always has a humane heart is Li Qingjun, not Qin Yi.
What is slightly better than others is that he has stronger empathy and never regards himself as another species. And most monks really regard themselves as another species...
Qin Yi thought for a long time and suddenly felt very familiar.
This is actually the world of spiritual practice in modern online literature, not the old legend of Jigong.
It probably reflects the psychological changes of people in different eras. I want to become stronger myself instead of relying on others. There has never been any savior, I have to rely on myself.
It seems to be consistent with Liusu's philosophy to a certain extent: everyone is like a dragon and responsible for himself.
In other words, this world has evolved over tens of thousands of years, but it has naturally become a combination of Yaoguang tassels.
Liusu seemed to have thought of this as well, looking at the sunset in the distance with some trance, and said nothing for a long time.
Qin Yi thought of Yao Guang and said: "There are imperfections in what I think, and there are imperfections in what she thinks. Then we will all die, and we will meet again tens of thousands of years later to see who is more wrong, and then we can improve it.
If so."
This crazy idea is actually going on.
Because they have really been dead for tens of thousands of years, the world has changed itself to this day.
Liusu whispered to himself: "Today, their leader is the Holy Emperor who can live and work in peace and contentment, not the Human Emperor who led them to open up the Explosive Hammer Monster Clan in China. Today, they don't need the gods to interfere randomly, and they can do whatever they want.
The ground is sinking...it's good to be separated."
Qin Yi glanced at her with some worry, but saw that although Liusu was lost in thought, he didn't feel depressed at all.
She is also revising her perception.
It’s just what the emperors of different periods should do, but the core is actually the same.
In fact, Qin Yi feels that no matter how many tens of thousands of years pass, one's personal knowledge may not be perfect, but one just needs to keep pace with the times.
Liusu also turned his head and glanced at Qin Yi: "Why didn't you rush to help people treat their illnesses? Although it is a congenital disease, ordinary Taoist priests cannot cure it, so it is not difficult for you."
Qin Yi said: "I am also thinking about this problem. Everyone has their own troubles. Do I need everyone to help me, or should I just help someone when I pass by and treat them as if they don't exist?
"
Liusu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then what do you think? Teaching people to fish? Preaching to the world? Pursuing the salvation of the people?"
"Preaching... I think as long as there is a true sect in the world and everyone has a way to seek immortality, it will be fine. This kind of thing depends on fate. It is true that everyone is rushing to practice and the world is in chaos... This is not
During the barbaric period, times have changed."
"It's not about preaching, so how do you want to help?"
"I'm thinking that if there are really two parts between immortals and mortals, then the affairs of mortals should be explored by the system instead of being helped by immortals." Qin Yi pondered and said slowly: "If this is considered the responsibility of the Human Emperor,
, Today’s Human Emperor has a different direction than you did back then. What she should consider is how to establish social security and medical systems. This is the fundamental thing, rather than relying on some immortal to meet one and save another.
…”
tassel:"……"
For the first time, I felt that what Qin Yi said was a bit unclear.
But if it can really be done, this will bring salvation to the common people.
"This is the natural evolution direction of human civilization..." Qin Yi suddenly laughed out loud: "So it is really useless for mortals to want immortals."
Liusu said with a straight face: "You agree with Yao Guang."
"Do I agree with Yaoguang? It's better to say that I agree with Wuxian. She wants Wuxian most in the world. Or maybe I agree with you. The inheritance and development of civilization is the foundation of human race. This is what you said
Oh, Your Majesty."
Liusu let out a "hum".
Qin Yi rubbed her face: "Speaking of which...since you are revising your views, Yao Guang will not stand still. Times have changed, and everyone must keep pace with the times. God knows what she will do when we meet again.
What’s the idea?”
Liusu puffed up his cheeks, and Qin Yi pressed his hands together.
With a "pop" sound, he sprayed it all over his face: "I think you are just greedy..."
"No, no." Qin Yi interrupted quickly: "I'm not interested in Yaoguang!"
"Humph." Liusu looked out the window at the sunset again and whispered, "She really told you to find me at the beginning of the world?"
Qin Yi said honestly: "This is indeed true."
Liusu stopped talking.
In the distance, there was smoke from cooking stoves, streets and alleys, and the sound of dogs barking. As the sun set below the horizon, Aunt Zhang lit candles outside, and the surrounding neighbors lit up one after another. In a moment, thousands of houses were lit with lights.
The aroma of the food was faintly wafting around, and a woman was yelling, calling the child who had turned into a mud monkey outside to go home and eat.
There was a salesman closing the stall, and the last shouts of sale were as loud as if he had cultivated to immortality.
The breath of the world.
But looking at it from a certain perspective, this is also a fairy tale.
If the previous conversations and thoughts were about Qin Yi accompanying her to look at the sky... then this earthly fairyland now is what Qin Yi came back to find.
The matter of the Nine Infants, the debate over the road, what the human race is thinking... This is actually Liusu's matter, Qin Yi is just accompanying her.
Qin Yi's own path does not have such a big direction. He is just a Taohua Taoist, talking about the debate between heaven and man.
He came back not to observe these things, but to look back and settle, remembering what he was like as a human being, and picking up the scenery he missed along the way.
For example, in this world, dogs are barking, thousands of houses are lit, birth, old age, sickness and death, and the market is ups and downs.
This is the most common scene in the world. If you turn a blind eye, see but not know, and carry your luggage in a hurry... then the so-called cultivation is just another form of working overtime and rushing to work. What is the point of cultivation?
This is something Qin Yi has missed over the past few decades, and now he is back to look for it.
And her Liusu in this look back is the little wife who eloped with him.
You accompany me to see the sky, and I will accompany you back to earth.
The thoughts of the human emperor and the struggle between the great roads seem to be two worlds away.
