Chapter 49 Gossip (2)

"This is what I worry about." Emperor Zhenwu said quietly: "People with great wisdom often have less attention to what is happening in front of them after a thousand years."

"The Buddha has disappeared, or has disappeared." He continued, "How would he feel if the Jade Emperor suddenly lost his opponent to Yi?"

Emperor Zhenwu stared at Yi Tianxing's eyes: "I always doubt that the Jade Emperor must be thinking about a question... If all Buddhas can be silent, then he must have an end. Whether it is a human or an immortal, if he lives for a long time, he will only consider one question at the end... Where is his way?"

Where did I come from? Where did I go?

Yi Tianxing almost burst out laughing, but his face suddenly became dark. He found that what the Emperor Zhenwu said made sense--no matter who he lived as an old fairy, he didn't have to worry about life and death, or about wealth and glory. The biggest possibility was to become a bullshit philosopher.

Qin Shihuang liked to take medicine because he was afraid of death.

Emperor Wu of Han liked to climb mountains because he was afraid of death.

Kangxi's children wanted to live another five hundred years.

The Jade Emperor has no such problem, who told him to be immortal?

If you live forever, what will you do in the future? Will you be tired of being an emperor forever?

Emperor Zhenwu approached Yi Tianxing, and his handsome face seemed a little sinister: "Why did the Jade Emperor practice Buddhism? Because he was tired of being an emperor, he wanted to find a new world, he wanted to have his own pure land, and he wanted to find a way out that was not planned."

Yi Tianxing frowned deeply: "Pure Land? He is willing to go to Pure Land to play, Amitabha must be very welcome."

Emperor Zhenwu shook his head: "You don't understand, this is meditating. The key point he wants to understand is. Where is the way he goes? Pure Land? This is just a path he tried. The Pure Land in his heart is not the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha in the West."

Yi Tianxing closed his eyes for a long time and said slowly: "I have learned Buddhism and Taoism. In my opinion, no matter which kind of exercise it is, it is actually just a tool. As long as you practice it to the top, there should be no big difference. I don't understand why the Jade Emperor gave up the Taoist sect and did not participate in it, but went to the Pure Land Sect."

Emperor Zhenwu said lightly: "Because he is acquainted with Taoism, he cannot solve his problem...that last problem."

He stared at Yi Tianxing's eyes: "After you go to heaven, don't you think the heaven is quiet?"

Yi Tianxing nodded.

Emperor Zhenwu continued, "What is the heavenly realm?" After saying this, he gently stretched out his index finger and placed it in the air between him and Yi Tianxing. Without seeing how he moved, he saw some white fairy aura emerged from his fingertips.

The white fairy spirit, like milk, left the fingers of Emperor Zhenwu, and began to slowly rotate with his fingers as the axis.

Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with darkness, and there was no longer any old turtle in the snow peak valley and valley stream... It was just a piece of darkness, and in the darkness was a thick white fairy breath rotating quietly.

Yi Tianxing couldn't see himself, but he was not panicked. He knew that Emperor Zhenwu used his powerful magical power to open a space and began to explain to himself the origin of the heaven.

His heart was quiet and not very excited. Perhaps it was because many years ago, he knew that someone would definitely tell him.

In the boundless darkness, the shiny little air mass was compressed to its extreme. It was just a small dot, floating in the boundless void that seemed to have no boundaries, looking very lonely and insignificant.

The voice of Emperor Zhenwu gradually darkened, and the fairy air mass that gradually disappeared in the black background rang quietly.

"At the beginning of Hongmeng, the beginning of heaven and earth, from non-birth and existence, one birth."

As Emperor Zhenwu's words rang out word by word, it was already a dead and dark space. Suddenly, light shone brightly.

At that random point, at a point in that space, suddenly, the light shone brightly, countless lights were radiating, and from that point, it was wilder than the fireworks and more dazzling than the sun. It seemed that all the energy in the world was released by such a simple process.

In one second, an extremely strong energy release suddenly occurred from a subtle and invisible point, erupting and surging in the form of light and invisible light, wildly occupying the entire space, even time.

Yi Tianxing wandered outside, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

He immediately understood that this was the scene where Emperor Zhenwu was demonstrating the so-called world. Although it was a virtual space, it was imprinted in the spiritual consciousness. The incandescent high temperature still made him subconsciously squint his eyes.

The particles of energy erupt and invade everywhere, spreading out in an almost uniform way. The temperature dropped sharply within dozens of seconds, but it still maintained billions of temperatures, transforming into different lights, swallowing the space like porridge at extremely high temperatures.

Such high temperatures are enough to burn gods, spirits, nuclear bombs, human world, heaven, underworld, and everything.

But...at this moment, nothing happened.

Gradually, this cosmic model in the virtual space calmed down, and the hot particles formed into a place, turning into high-temperature cloud smoke, and became colder. Atoms began to produce, matter began to condense, and the unbalanced cloud smoke began to collapse into nebula.

The universe continues to expand and the temperature continues to drop, and various shapes of cosmic matter began to appear in front of Yi Tianxing.

He felt a little moved and could witness this "creation" process from nothing to something.

Just like the slideshow you can see in any junior high school electronic classroom.

The universe began to cool down in a predictable way, and began to become what it is today, galaxies, nebula, stars, planets... matter began to exist in different forms, and began to attract, entangle, and rotate each other step by step.

A planet became cold and there was a strange-looking big stone next to it.

There are clouds, fog, electricity, and water.

There is blue.

With green.

Have life.

Having someone.

Then there was the immortal.

The immortal left the blue earth planet, broke through space, and found a strange area where the composition of matter was completely different from the composition of matter in the space where the blue planet was located.

It's like a natural barrier.

"These spaces should be heaven. How does it exist?" Yi Tianxing asked softly with his hands in front of him.

The empty and illusory space disappeared, and the two returned to the turtle's back. There were still countless small balls of faint fairy air spinning at high speed around the index finger of Emperor Zhenwu, looking very beautiful.

"It's like bubbles." Emperor Zhenwu smiled, and the small balls of fairy energy on his fingers suddenly turned into countless bubbles that were nestled in each other, like soap bubbles. "When this world was born, it naturally rose into countless bubbles. Each bubble was a space, and they were independent of each other and even had no contact at all. Humans cultivated immortality by breaking away from the limitations of physical matter and finding a way to enter another space."

Yi Tianxing quietly folded his ten fingers together and placed them on his knees, thinking that this statement is somewhat similar to the "anti-matter world" that is now popular in the human world.

"These spaces snuggled together like bubbles are not attached to the physical rules of the world, but are countless channels running through them. If you want to understand this, you must completely reverse the content you learned in the world, and do not think with the concept of space." Emperor Zhenwu slowly explained: "But five hundred years ago, most channels in the Eastern World were destroyed in one go, and the gods of the foreign religions you said have never had anything to do with my Eastern World, so I don't know what they look like now."

"Well, I seem to be able to walk through these spaces, and it seems to be quite smooth." Yi Tianxing remembered that the immortals in the heavenly realm needed to dissipate their body, and only relied on their souls to inject their bodies, and wondered: "Why don't I have this problem."

"I don't know." Emperor Zhenwu shook his head and said, "You can come from the ice river, although you almost died, but you are too shocked. The ice river was originally a natural barrier between the two heavens. You actually rushed over, and the strength of your body was so terrifying."

Yi Tianxing recalled at this time. When he first came into the clouds from the lower heaven, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. The strong wind in the glacier was really amazing.

Emperor Zhenwu continued: "It is not that easy to become a saint in the flesh. For so long in the heavens, it is actually only the Great Sage, Erlang Shen, and you are considered authentic. The Li family father and son are taking another path, while Lei Zhenzi and Wei Hu were just making up for the numbers. However, the Heavenly Court did not want the Great Sage and Erlang Shen to appear too high in publicity tricks."

"Oh," Yi Tianxing shrugged and said nothing for a long time. "It turns out that gods are not omnipotent. If they want to go down to the world and get rid of their bodies and be reborn, it will be a very troublesome thing. No wonder Chen Gougou has been a teacher in Jiujiang for so many years before he can recover his magical powers."

He suddenly asked, "What level of immortals can come and go easily in these spaces?"

Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly, knowing what he was worried about, and sighed: "The seven great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism naturally have this ability. There are many immortals in the heavenly court, but these people are all practicing."

Yi Tianxing thought of the handsome killer Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta who moved one minute, moved six times, and moved the world, and his face gradually became darker.

"Then who created this world?"

"You ask me? Who am I asking?" Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly, and the fairy bubble on his fingers exploded gently, turning into countless dark blue star dots, covering the two of them, like the ever-changing cosmic stars in the human world.

Yi Tianxing raised his eyebrows: "That's right, I always feel that Jehovah is so brave."

Emperor Zhenwu looked up at the scenery in the snow and ice. After a while of silence, he suddenly said, "The Taoist Sect doesn't care who created this world. How can it be created out of nothing? Forced guessing, but it is not in line with the intention of tranquility and inaction."

"Buddhism is different. They have always believed that there are several parallel worlds, and that the single world is only a great disaster." He turned to Yi Tianxing and smiled, "Actually, at the root, I showed you the bubble of the earth before. Maybe it was the three thousand worlds of the earth. However, the calamity is just a legend. Perhaps the Buddha has really experienced the calamity. But he has never told anyone that you would not believe in all those Buddhist scriptures."

"Quanxin's promotional materials? I'm not that stupid." Yi Tianxing said coldly: "How did those three old men in Sanqing teach you?"

Emperor Zhenwu shook his head and sighed: "Or, they are thinking about this problem in the quiet and wonderful state."

"I don't know where to come from, and I talk about where to go?" Yi Tianxing also shook his head. When he said this, the reason was that the two were discussing the possibility that the Jade Emperor might be obsessed with the devil and fell into the ultimate question of "Where am I going?"

"Come from where you go, go." Emperor Zhenwu sighed, "Although you say it beautifully, it is just like not. Any wise life, if you have enough time to think, will inevitably think about this step. And a person like the Jade Emperor, who is deeply trapped in this, is not surprising. You have seen before how this world was produced and how life was produced. Don't you want to know where the end of the world is?"

"The world is endless." Yi Tianxing responded with his hair. Deep in his heart, he felt as if he was about to catch something, but the surface of the thing was always covered with a layer of dust, so he couldn't see it clearly.

"If the world is endless..." Emperor Zhenwu looked at his eyes quietly: "What is the purpose of life? Every grass, tree, willow, a bird, a beast, and a Taoist, who concentrates on Shige, seeks virtue today and constantly practices. What is the purpose of cultivation?"

The Emperor smiled like a middle-aged photographer who had just licked the orange-flavored fruit candy.

Yi Tianxing cried and thought to himself that he wouldn't teach this in philosophy class. You always forced him to ask, but you couldn't answer it yourself, which was very embarrassing.

Emperor Zhenwu was obsessed with it and seemed to be very intoxicated by this problem, and wanted to go to retreat and practice.

Yi Tianxing knew that these gods who had been practicing for countless years were all a bit paranoid as scientists. He quickly woke him up: "Don't worry about these messy things, let's talk about the Jade Emperor first. OK. Let's just treat him as abandoning political affairs and have to talk about it. So what are you going to do?"

He was giggling on his face, but in fact he was very suspicious. If the person in front of him was about to be Cao Cao, then Emperor Xian of Han should have fulfilled his wish.

Emperor Zhenwu frowned: "Oh, the heavens are nothing, and it is not easy to get along for thousands of years. The immortals live in seclusion and are worried about nothing. Naturally, they will think more about things. If they think too much, they will easily become obsessed with it. Those gods with profound Taoism are hiding in their caves. They may not come out once for hundreds of years. Under the tranquility and inaction, the immortals are even more indifferent. Don't you think that this heaven has become dead now?"

Yi Tianxing's pupils shrank slightly, thinking that this is true. Since he entered the heavens, he found that this clean and untainted world was without any vitality and was outrageously quiet.

"The higher the realm, the easier it is to do everything unrestrained, the easier it is..." Emperor Zhenwu coughed twice: "The dead spirit is deep."

Yi Tianxing scratched his head and thought that it had nothing to do with him. Even if the heavens turned into a pool of stagnant water, so what? As long as his family is happy, even if these gods commit suicide, it will be a happy thing.

Yi Tianxing would not do such a perverted thing even if he beaten to death. He is sick.

"Let's talk about it." Yi Tianxing waved his hand, as if he was buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and there was still carrot at home, so I'll talk about it tomorrow.

Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Tell me about Journey to the West, I am more interested in the gossip of the master." Yi Tianxing giggled.

"No more." Emperor Zhenwu said lightly: "There are always many conspiracies hidden behind every incident. I do not deny this, including so many things that happened during the journey to obtain the scriptures. But you must remember that not every conspiracy has a complete ending, many are happening, many silent annihilation, and a clever conspiracy may not even have time to play a role, but it ends without anyone knowing it because of some extremely coincidental things."

"I have read a lot of books, and this kind of thing is common in history." Yi Tianxing nodded solemnly.

Not every conspiracy has a complete ending.

Not every love song has beautiful memories.

The same principle.

When traveling west, the blood clan battle, the monkey... Perhaps it was the great conspiracy of the universe that the Buddha had a sudden inspiration and turned his hand around, but now the Buddha has already like that, and the conspiracy has no executor, so it naturally ends suddenly.

"Tell you a gossip to make up for the losses." Emperor Zhenwu suddenly laughed, "Qin Zier is the Jade Emperor's little princess. Although the Jade Emperor ignored political affairs in recent years, the fifth princess still followed her father's methods of doing things. He knew that Guanyin Master threw you down from the world, so he made preparations, one was about to kill you with the Xiaotian Dog, and the other... he was still about to play the family affection card as it was a thousand years ago..."

He frowned: "This should be considered a beauty trick? It's a pity that it failed. No wonder Xiaowu hated you so much."
