"This is about the fate of the soul, reincarnation. Don't you think that each mythology has its own beliefs, and in the end people go to different places after death? And the descriptions in the East and the West are different?"
"Yes, I have already felt strange." I thought for a while.
"And don't you think that near-death experiences are all the same? They basically replay their own lives, and then enter a passage that is either white or black, and then enter a different world."
"Tomato said she had a bardo transition, and during that period she did whatever she wanted." I thought of what Tomato said before.
"Yes, normally, there is a bardo. This time is for a living person to transition to a dead person, and to understand that he is dead. It is the same as making steamed buns when you need to wake up." Kui Bi.
I made a round shape instead of steamed buns.
"This is the first time I heard that someone compared steamed buns with souls ascending to heaven. You are also the first person in ancient and modern times."
"The meaning is the same, and the problem lies in this. Going back to the original question, last time Taiyi Tianzun said that you have Tao power, Buddha power, and the Holy Light of the West in your body. Have you ever thought about it?
If you die, where will you go?" Kui asked.
"I... never thought about it, let's go to the underworld."
"Why?" Kui continued to ask.
"Because I feel that people in the Central Plains should go to the underworld to reincarnate after death. I have heard these things since I was a child."
"You've never seen the underworld, how do you know? Don't you humans like seeing to be believed?" Kui was asking for more details.
"How come you don't see this? The people who died didn't come back to deliver the letter." Isn't this an argument?
"Actually, you go to the underworld because you are convinced that you will go to the underworld. This is the root cause of war, resource plunder." Kui pointed out the problem.
"What, what resources? People?", I couldn't come to my senses.
Kui turned around and poured a glass of water, then sat back and assumed a relatively comfortable posture and said, "You don't even have a sofa here. You can go buy one later and I'll give it to you."
"Can we talk about business first..." His focus was really strange.
"Don't worry, since you are involved in these things, you can't stay out of it at all, so prepare a comfortable living room. We will come here often in the future."
"Okay, I'll buy it later. Just keep talking." I wanted to know what happened next.
"Let's talk about something more ancient. Do you know about Egyptian gods?"
"I know, Anubis, Set, and the sun god Ra and so on." The mythology of ancient Egypt is still very attractive, and many movies are based on these myths.
"Do you think there are still people worshiping them now?" Kui asked again.
"There should be no more. Egypt has theoretically lost its own race since Alexander's conquest." I have watched Cleopatra.
"To be precise, it was destroyed by the Persians in 525 BC in your time. So what do you think is destruction?"
"Don't have a race of your own?", a bit like a history professor giving a lecture.
"Without faith and culture, to be precise, forgetting one's own history means destruction." Kui's summary is even more insightful.
"Yes, you are more precise."
"Then why would there be no race and extinction without history?"
"...because...so? Scientific truth? I don't know, I haven't thought about it that deeply." Is this talking about the soul, or is it talking about philosophy?
"Because without history, there are no ancestors, there is no protection for the race, and there is no need to survive in this space." Kui conjured up a city in his hand, and then fanned it away.
Like the wind.
"Is this true?" I was shocked not only by his ability to manipulate mana, but also by what he said.
"Where do you think the gods of Egypt came from?" Another philosophical question, where did the gods come from?
"They... found it themselves?"
"There are many gods in Egypt, and they deal with a wide range of things, but in the final analysis, they are all separated from nature. For example, if the worship of the sun reaches a certain level, the sun will open up spiritual wisdom and become a natural god. This
It’s called the natural system, and everything has its spirit. From here you can see the power of human faith.”
"Then...all gods are nothing?"
"No, of course not. But, in the beginning, yes. When there is spirituality, it becomes a real existence. In fact, you now have a scientific explanation for this." He drew a circle in the air again.
,I do not know what it meant.
"What scientific explanation explains the existence of God?" I think I should choose natural science or philosophy in college.
"Schrödinger's cat and Yang's double-slit interference experiment all show the impact of human spiritual power on the material world from the side. If you think about it more broadly, it is the impact on God." He drew a circle in the circle.
human form.
"You mean, if people don't believe in God, God doesn't exist. But what does this have to do with genocide? What does it have to do with war? And I'm a little confused. Can you explain it more simply?"
"Okay, let me tell you this. God is actually the condensation of countless people's spiritual power. If no one remembers him anymore, God will disappear. And the reason why God appears is that he is needed by others and has been assigned a position, such as
To protect human beings and so on. If no one remembers it, no one needs to be protected. If there is no need for protection, the god will disappear. After disappearing, there will be no god to protect the last bit of civilization, so it will completely disappear. You understand."
"I understand, it's a bit like the egg lays the chicken, and the chicken lays the egg. What about the gods of the Central Plains?"
"The biggest difference between the gods in the Central Plains is that humans basically improve their own abilities and then practice. They are immortals first, and then gods. In other words, if no one worships the gods, they may disappear, but this god cannot
They will disappear and will only become scattered immortals. And most of the immortals are actually our ancestors and have descendants to worship them. It is our ancestors who control the power of nature and then come back to protect their descendants. So even if they are no longer
We worship this force of nature, but we also have to worship our ancestors. This is the biggest difference between us and other cultures."
"Can that be understood as being more advanced, so our gods will never be destroyed?", I suddenly realized.
"That's right, and that's wrong. Because now we are experiencing the most terrifying cultural invasion. From the perspective of you mortals, it is a cultural invasion. It is the so-called advanced Western world that is entering and leading our Eastern world. In fact, in other planes, it has long been
I found out that this is an invasion of faith, and its purpose is to destroy us gods, immortals, and demons, and then achieve the purpose of destroying East Asian civilization."
This is so shocking! I never thought that the biggest purpose of cultural invasion is to destroy our own culture as Central Plains people.
"The culture of the Central Plains is not so easy to destroy, right?" I asked hurriedly. Although I have settled in Maple Leaf Country, it doesn't mean that I don't miss my motherland!
"Yes, in fact, such things have happened before, but at that time it was mainly a matter of the mortal world. For example, Yuan and Qing's genocide in the Central Plains region. However, because they also believe in nature, they were slowly replaced by
We have assimilated. You think it is cultural assimilation. In fact, the war in the plane is very intense. Our gods have conquered other gods. The specific manifestation is that their race has also been assimilated by you. Not only does this not cause racial genocide
, and it has also made the race stronger. As we grow stronger, so will you. But it doesn’t work now. What is invading us now is mainly the culture under the monotheistic system. Their purpose is not only to destroy the culture of East Asia in the mortal world, but also to include ours.
All the gods in several realms, we are all in danger of annihilation." Kui said to me seriously, but without stopping, he drew a little man, wearing a white robe, with his hands open.
Slightly cross-shaped.
"How many realms? How many realms? Also, what is the monotheistic system?" This is another new knowledge.
"Yes, several realms! Including our demon world, fairy world, Buddhist world, and Confucian world. But in your traditional understanding, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are one, and our demon race is actually a race that is a descendant of the human race. Oh.
, By the way, there is also the devil world." Kui counted on his fingers.
"Is there a demon world? Is there really a demon world? A devil?"
"No, the demon world refers to a cultivation method that is different from common sense. Originally, it did not have a world of its own. But then a demon came from nowhere and insisted on setting up a world of his own. He shouted every day that he wanted to be independent. In fact, cultivation
The method cannot be separated from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. After a long time of tossing, it still comes from the same source. Where can he go?", why do I think he has something to say.
"What about the devil?" I also want to know this.
"Devils are the collective name for other races. Some of them evolved from humans, and some are another kind of creature. There is no need to tell you this now. It's too complicated. You will confuse yourself again." Kui waved his hand, and the little white creature in front of him appeared.
People turned black.
"How are the worlds divided?" If you don't tell me this question, then ask what you can tell me.
"Jie is a name, which is actually equivalent to the organizational structure you mentioned. For example, this demon world is actually a space where several people who practice magic found a separate space to operate, and then occupied it and called it their own demon world."
"Is there a separate space?"
"This is complicated to explain, involving time and space composition, as well as multi-dimensional space. The same is true for other worlds. Don't you think that many legends and stories in the human world are inconsistent with geography? Doesn't it mean that the legends are false?
, but these places have been divided into separate realms. For example, the thirty-three worlds and the eighteenth level of the underworld are all separated from the original human world."
"It seems that Lao Cao said this, what is the monotheistic system?"
"You know the so-called Yishen, right?" Kui waved away the little man in front of him and looked at me and said.
"I know, there are too many of them. North America is all about promoting one god." This is really their dojo.
