In this way, Avalokitesvara took up residence in the Tutu Temple outside Shengjing City.
Although he was reluctant, he did not dare to disobey the great and mysterious old man. He followed him through the streets and alleys every day in his regular clothes, raised his trousers and farmed under his wrists, and did all the most common things in the world.
If the gods of the three realms saw this scene, their eyes would probably pop out of their heads.
The Buddhist practitioner who stayed with Guanyin only persisted for three days and no longer wanted to do the dirty work. The old man didn't force himself, he just smiled and said, "The fate has not come yet", as if he was a little regretful.
But Guanyin did not dare to resist, so she had to follow him and work hard without complaint. After just a few days, she no longer had the elegance and detachment of a real person outside the world. She was like a country peasant woman gradually integrating into this ordinary and real lower-class society.
She seemed to have forgotten that she still had magic power and the long-lasting life, and the long-lost fulfillment and joy filled her plain and empty heart. It's like the satisfying feeling of happiness after each improvement in cultivation at the beginning of enlightenment.
'Ordinary' 'Equality' 'Fair'
Guanshiyin Bodhisattva looked at the scenes in the world and the ordinary smiling faces with a thoughtful expression.
"Master, is this the equality he has been pursuing?"
She asked curiously behind the old man.
"No."
The old man shook his head, put down the sickle in his hand, and said with a smile: "He once told me that this is the way of the people."
"Why?"
Avalokitesvara was puzzled.
"The people at the upper level call it people's livelihood. The people at the middle level call it civil affairs. The people at the lower level call it equality. Only those who transcend this horizon can see through the people's hearts." The old man said.
"I don't understand." Guanyin shook her head honestly.
"I don't understand either." The old man smiled openly.
"Is there anything in this world that you don't understand?" Guanshiyin didn't believe it.
"So, I came to learn."
The old man bent down again and cut the rice in the field with scythe after scythe. "Perhaps he has seen through the changes in the future and knows what kind of order is truly suitable for the masses. That's why he proposed this method of popular support."
"We have also seen through our observations over this period of time, and our own actions have confirmed the existence of this truth. 'It' was not proposed by a certain person, but exists in every corner of the world and in the hearts of the public."
"This principle may be more suitable for this world than the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and the principles of Buddhism. It is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth that can truly transcend the three realms and reach the other side of the heart."
"The most ordinary truth in the world."
The old man talked nonchalantly.
Avalokitesvara followed behind him, cutting rice silently, her beautiful and flawless face was scratched by mud, but she didn't care, as if she had sunk into a state of selflessness.
"The truth that transcends everything?"
"Can we reach the true other side?"
"All roads lead to the same destination. The Emperor of Heaven has his way, I have my way, and Yang Gang also has his way. All roads seem to lead to the other side, but... who can make it to the end?"
She raised her head and faced the newborn baby.
A relaxed smile suddenly appeared on his face.
this moment.
The pure and elegant Guanyin Bodhisattva has completely lost the aura of the Immortal Buddha, and is completely like a mortal woman, who suddenly smells like a woman.
She is an immortal, a Buddha, and a human being.
But first, she has to start as a mortal in order to understand what a real immortal Buddha is.
Only then are you qualified to see the end of the other shore.
In a trance.
An illusory long river flashed before my eyes.
At the end of the long river, she seemed to see an ocean that was closely integrated with the world...
——
The extreme northern wilderness.
Li Jin was like a wave in the waves of the sea, rising and falling among millions of soldiers.
He watched each living life fade away.
Watching each powerful beast die suddenly, like a flower blooming and withering in an instant.
Duckweed in this world cannot help itself.
He finally chose to survive hard and preserve himself. Ignoring the sound of lives disappearing.
Because he knows.
With his current ability, he simply cannot defeat the mastermind behind the scenes.
Time passes.
Half a month later, Li Jin's strength gradually recovered to 10%. His ability to protect himself in battle became increasingly powerful, and he even became a slightly famous member of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
He also changed his name to "Li Yaoshi" and gradually established a foothold in the extreme northern wilderness.
Some of the talented soldiers around them gained the power after the beasts disappeared, and gradually became stronger, enough to compete with some of the weaker beasts.
The losses on the battlefield were much smaller.
But not long after.
Li Jin then discovered that everything has a price.
The incredibly rich vitality could not allow those who gained power to live longer. Even after reaching the peak of their power, many people...had black hair and white heads overnight, and their faces were withered.
Finally, he rushed into the black hole of the void like crazy, and the most dazzling afterglow of his life bloomed.
Li Jin was shocked to see this scene.
Many people's strength is obviously not as good as mine, but they have already entered the 'Return to Ruins'.
My strength has far exceeded that of most people here, wouldn't it be true that one day...
"I don't have much time."
Realizing this, Li Jin felt an urgency in his heart.
"I want to take everything I see back to heaven and tell everyone that this is a conspiracy! The emperor of heaven has changed, and he has no mercy at all. All living beings in the three realms are just tools for his use..."
"Even if I die, I will let everyone know the truth!"
"Heaven - not as good as ghosts!"
at the same time.
Far above the nine heavens.
Strange things are also quietly happening in heaven.
Many familiar faces disappeared silently from the palace.
The Divine Lord of Fire Virtue, the Divine Lord of Water Virtue, the powerful immortals who ascended from the Great Zhou Dynasty... Finally, until Yang Gang visited the Taisui Department, he found that Yang Ren, the Divine Lord of the Taisui Department, had not shown up for half a month.
He finally discovered something was wrong with Heaven.
Under secret investigation.
It was discovered that in addition to the Emperor of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and Lord Taibai, who conveyed the Holy Orders openly, many of the elites of the Eight Divisions of Heaven had long since disappeared, and no one knew where they had gone.
It seems like a huge secret is brewing.
"Something's wrong."
"It's so wrong!"
Yang Gang walked repeatedly in the study, his mind racing rapidly.
But I always feel that an important 'key point' is missing in my heart, resulting in a lot of information that cannot be connected together.
"The Emperor of Heaven is too abnormal."
"Could it be that..." He suddenly raised his head and stared at the void in the sky, "The so-called Journey to the West is just a pretense?"
boom!
His heart was shocked.
For a moment, there seemed to be a thunderous explosion, penetrating through the layers of fog.
"Wow~~"
He quickly opened an ancient book, his eyes flitting over the lines of characters.
Finally, his eyes paused.
Stay on one line of words.
[...Buzhou Mountain originally used its ancient name. To avoid the taboo of the Holy King, it was renamed Liangjie Mountain. The word "buzhou" represents incompleteness. 】
"Big Zhou...not Zhou..."
He couldn't help but take a breath.
