This is Putuo, a famous Buddhist holy land in the Han and Tang dynasties. There are countless good men and women coming here every year, and there are many purposes, such as those who seek wealth, those who ensure peace, those who seek future, and those who seek children... All kinds of wonders are there.
This is the penetration of religious power. With the development and progress of social sciences, human beings are no longer full of pure awe of gods like in ancient times. Now it is more of a relief and interpretation of self-feelings, a kind of
Spiritual comfort.
Xiao Kaitian, Zhao Qixi and Bai Kou were wearing modern clothes on a passenger ship heading to Putuo Island. Zhao Qixi was wearing a hat, while Bai Kou was covering the sun with his hands and staring at him from afar.
Look at the statue of the Bodhisattva.
At this time, the Han and Tang dynasties had just undergone a series of major changes. The country was in its rise, and a large number of outstanding talents emerged. As a kind of comfort for God to protect peace, Buddhism has also penetrated into thousands of households.
Of course, religious beliefs in the Han and Tang dynasties were not compulsory. In addition to Buddhism, there were many other religions. As for the specific beliefs, it was a personal issue, and the country and society would not interfere with this.
"Xiao Kaitian," Bai Kou looked at it for a long time and withdrew his gaze: "Strictly speaking, Xiao Qi deserves it. In fact, sometimes it is good to have a religious worship."
"The development of society will eventually move towards the open source of civilization and knowledge," Xiao Kaitian wore sunglasses, and the appearance of the three people has changed: "The strong religious worship in the past is not conducive to the self-promotion of social subjects."
Xiao Kaitian still believes that the development of civilizations in the entire fruit shell universe requires its own extension power, rather than some powerful external interference.
Of course, some major disasters and changes in nature are another matter. In fact, Xiao Kaitian did not say anything. At the Enki incident, Homo sapiens' genes were transformed, but for modern humans, they are actually transformed.
, has great sequelae, and they don’t have many genes that can control themselves.
In other words, the human civilization in this world is actually quite fragile. If there is a change in nature now, such as the ice age, etc., as humans, they will not be able to continue to evolve and adapt to the new environment, and it is highly likely that they will perish.
The three of them discussed the topics of the universe and gods, religion and philosophy without a single sentence. Bai Kou, who ended up in the end, had a strange view: "To put it bluntly, humans' admiration for science is just to reasonably explain the fundamentals of the existence of the world.
In fact, it is normal to have the existence of God in the setting behind all this."
Xiao Kaitian smiled slightly, but did not answer the topic. When his body swayed slightly, the ship had already docked, and the passengers on the ship began to disembark one after another.
Xiao Kaitian and the other two also mingled in the large army and slowly moved with the crowd. It took a long time to set foot on the island.
The island is full of trees and breezes. Although it is hot summer, there is no heat here. It is just that the wind contains the smell of sandalwood, and people who are not used to it will smell a little uncomfortable.
Some devout believers start kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times as soon as they get ashore, holding burning incense in their hands, and heading all the way to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain is a temple, which enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is said that this place was often transformed by Bodhisattvas in the past, and it is a Feng Shui treasure land.
Xiao Kaitian did not come to pray to God and Buddha. His purpose was very clear. The divine source turned around here and did not find the target. Zhao Qixi beside him smiled and pointed to the top of the mountain.
"It seems that we are a little late, they are already on it." When Xiao Kaitian said this, his expression looked a little silent.
Bai Kou flew off her long hair. In fact, she didn't understand the task this time, but Xiao Kaitian didn't say it, and Zhao Qixi was unfathomable, so she didn't ask, just follow her.
The three of them climbed up the steps, and they could not use the skills on the way. They walked honestly and did not spend much effort, so they arrived at the top of the mountain.
The temple looked quite large, with the towering gates and other paints shining in the sun. Obviously, they were maintained regularly every year. When Xiao Kaitian arrived here, he ignored Zhao Qixi and Bai Ko. He took the lead in taking the lead.
, go inside.
Bai Kou moved his lips, but she glanced at Zhao Qixi who was following him with a smile, and finally didn't say anything.
After pushing open the door, you can see the Buddha statue standing in the main hall, with a solemn appearance. Even if a person who disrespects ghosts and gods, he will inevitably feel other thoughts in his heart when he arrives here. Xiao Kaitian didn't even look at it. He just bypassed the main hall and walked through it.
Flowers blew the willows and went backwards.
Turning around a few rooms, a small room appeared, which was a small one, and a Guanyin was offered to deliver a child. You could also hear the "rustling" sound. This was someone shook the can.
As soon as Xiao Kaitian stepped into the hall, he heard a crisp sound of bamboo falling to the ground. Then a woman in front knelt down and bent down to pick up the sign that fell on the ground.
Next to the woman was a middle-aged man in a suit. He looked handsome in his forties or fifties. He had a smile on his face and reached out to take the signature handed over by the woman.
"How about this sign?" The woman looked from the side, but her face was filled with melancholy. After she handed over the sign, she slowly stood up.
"It's a good sign," the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He grabbed the sign: "It's a sign, and it's our wish, and it will definitely come true."
"I don't believe it," the woman reached out and signaled the middle-aged man to hand over the sign to her.
The middle-aged man laughed hesitantly: "Lin Yun, nine out of ten things are incomprehensible to pray to gods and Buddhas."
But the woman still stretched out her hand, and the middle-aged man couldn't resist it and handed over the sign.
The woman took it and saw that it was a sign. She understood the literal meaning, and there was nothing to understand. She smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth: "I knew it would be like this." She lowered her head as she said that.
"Why do we find someone to explain the meaning?" the middle-aged man asked tentatively.
The woman just shook her head: "No need, please sign, you say it's up to fate, but Brother Xiao, I've lost it dozens or hundreds of times. You said that every time you sign, it's not a problem."
The middle-aged man put the draw in his hand, wanted to break it, and thought for a while and smiled: "The so-called "no good fortune may be the truth."
"It's right," Xiao Kaitian suddenly spoke at this time: "Sir, why don't you let me explain it?"
The middle-aged man's smile froze. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Kaitian: "Who are you?"
"If you read it right," Xiao Kaitian smiled: "This is Mr. Xiao Zhengze, and your lover, Mrs. Jiang Linyun."
