Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 663 Life and Death, Shinto

Witnessed the death of two old men.

The first one, Xu Guangling only saw the scene after his death.

The second person, Xu Guangling, witnessed the process from birth to death, and saw the aura of his life, from dim to shattered, and then, at the moment of shattered, "returning to the light", just like the sun before it sets At the moment, the glow is shining all over the West Mountain.

However, this last touch of brilliance will eventually dissipate, so there is only darkness left.

Pure darkness.

Is this also the final destination of all life?
Thousands of years ago, the tradition of "Mani piles" piled up by Xinmin has continued to this day. There are many wild ones that have been abandoned or collapsed, but more have sprung up in the settlements.

The people engraved stones, one for you, one for me, and then thousands or even tens of millions of stones were piled together to form a pile of stones that gathered many beliefs or beliefs.

If you don't consider the solemnity, purely in terms of nature, it is similar to the "Wishing Tree", "Wishing Pool", "Wishing Peak" and so on in many tourist attractions.

Many young men and women go out to travel, and then write their names together, hang them on trees, or make a concentric lock or something, and lock them on the mountain.

Many, many tourists do this, so the hot spots, as long as there are such facilities, are generally quite spectacular.

It's not just young men and women, unmarried men and women, there are 34 to [-] married people, and some with children.

And in the past, Xu Guangling hadn't set foot on this road yet. When he was wandering around, he once saw an elderly couple with silver hair. They looked very cultured and cultivated. Also hang the two names on the tree like the young lovers around them, and then look at each other and smile.

The old man smiled like a child.

The old woman smiled a bit shyly.

It seems that decades of turning around, decades of stumbling, decades of experience and sophistication, and decades of aging are all erased at that moment. Going back to their beginnings may be the first time. The first time we met, the first time we held hands?

Therefore, from this perspective, whether it is a wishing tree or a mani pile, it is not a superstition, and for many people it has not risen to belief.

It is a real "subsistence".

Put some wishes, some yearnings, or simple thoughts in your heart on trees and stones.

Whether it is a tree, a stone, or other things, the carrier is not important. These can all be attributed to "nature", or "heaven".

The world is too complicated, but sustenance can be very simple.

Many people live in a daze, or live day after day like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, or live a life of toil and intrigue, which is not noble.

And so on.

However, these do not prevent them from making a wish at some point in their lifetime.

Even if it's just for entertainment, for fun.

But when making a wish, his heart and thoughts must be different from usual.

Extract the simple from the complex, the beautiful from the ordinary, and the not yet dirty from the dirty.

that moment.

Nothing earth-shattering, nothing epic.

But as far as life itself is concerned, it is really worth remembering.

Perhaps, when their lives really "return to the light", they may think of that scene in their lives emphatically.

By the side of the collapsed pile of mani, Xu Guangling stood for a long time, and also pondered for a long time.

Perhaps it was because he had just witnessed life and death. At this moment, after becoming a grand master, Xu Guangling was thinking systematically about life and death for the first time.

Look at life from Xu Guangling's current height.

The birth of each new life is like a block of wood being thrown into the boundless sea, and then corroded by the sea water all the time, until it finally disintegrates completely. —and this is inevitable.

This piece of wood may also be hit by accident, and it has disintegrated before it is corroded and disintegrated.

Where there is life there must be consciousness.

But the consciousness of the vast majority of people in the world is in the "life", working hard to eat, worry about the burden of life, worry about fame or fortune, and don't have a lot of free time or thoughts to think about the problems of life itself.

Of course, it is also possible, because it is useless to think about it, it is better to think about some real things.

But what if, for some reason, consciousness is freed from the cares of life?
Then this question, inevitably, enters the consciousness.

Then, out of the instinct of life, it is likely to think, how can this piece of wood not be corroded?
There is a mountain in this sea?

If the pieces of wood can come to the mountain from the boundless sea, perhaps they will not be corroded. Although there may be other corrosions, the situation must be much better, ten times better, hundreds of times, thousands of times better.

And that, for ordinary life, is undoubtedly "immortality".

Therefore, "it is said that there are fairy mountains on the sea, and the mountains are in the midst of nothingness." Qin Shihuang, who did not worry about food, drink and fame, sent people to look for the fairy mountains.

Finding mountains on the sea is a way.

Another way is to search for mountains and make alchemy at the same time. ——Even if the same is soaked in the sea and corroded by seawater, if the texture is different, the degree and speed of corrosion by seawater must be different, right?
This is "Tao".

Since ancient times, both gods and Taoism have been developed.

Where there is Tao, there must be God.

Qin Shihuang looked for mountains, Ge Hong made alchemy, and many people who had neither the conditions to look for mountains nor the conditions to make alchemy, or those who didn't know the concept of mountain alchemy but thought about life and death or were afraid, hoped or had great power to save them. Or redemption.

The most fundamental foothold of all religions and gods lies in this.

It can also be said to be based on life itself.

Therefore, no matter how advanced the so-called "science" is, as long as the problems of life and life and death are not broken and solved for a day, religions and gods will stand tall and unbreakable, or even if they are broken, they will surely stand up again.

From Liliyuan to the grass, one year old and one dry and prosperous.Wild fire, in spring.

Because they have "roots".

The more prosperous science is and the more advanced society is, the less room there will be for religion and gods to survive?

Not so.

Not only that, but quite the opposite!
The more advanced the science, the more advanced the society, the higher the degree of excavation and utilization of natural resources by human beings, the less pressure required for survival and life, and then many, many people may have spare time and consciousness.

Then learn it.

Then work and career.

Then fall in love.

Then have fun.

In addition to these and so on, many, many people will "forced" to think about and come into contact with issues about life, life and death because of the vacancy of consciousness and time.

So at that time...

Religious Dachang.

God teaches Dachang.

And the life activities and hot spots of attention in the whole society should also be completely different from today's.

Of course, at that time, most of the so-called religions and gods will also evolve and change, and they may be different from what they are today.

"In that life, I traveled mountains and rivers to Buddhist pagodas, not for the purpose of cultivating the next life, but just to meet you on the way."

At this moment, Xu Guangling thought of such a sentence in a poem.

I really want to live 1 years.

Not for longevity.

I just want to see what the real "prosperity" looks like.

(This should be what I wrote, the scene of the third world experienced by the protagonist, please advertise in advance, please look forward to what, haha.)
