"Pride, jealousy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust are the seven categories of human evil that were listed and organized by the 13th century Dominican priest St. Thomas Aquinas.
, among which greed is the most serious, it is the focus of the seven deadly sins and the origin of evil deeds."
This plateau with the highest altitude in the world has always been a complex area, with multiple forces intersecting at the border. Individuals of all kinds who want to enter are blocked from entering. If the identity is not healthy enough, they can sneak in in the end.
He is not a bold, careful and extremely intelligent person, just like the man with a Chinese-shaped face standing in front of this middle-aged man wearing a monk's robe at the moment. Beards are not uncommon in this place. Even if he has thick beards like his, at altitude,
Everything is normal in such a high-rise place. The rough customs and folk customs can be vividly reflected in his body. Coupled with the obvious clothes of the Plateau Province, everyone will regard him as a local. If he were not
The local dialect was not so fluent, and such a slow speaking speed still made the man in monk's robes across from him frown and listen carefully to every word he said. It is estimated that no one would doubt his identity.
Listening to the words of the man in monk's robe, the man smiled and said: "This is a Catholic thing. You have always regarded yourself as an eminent monk and can sacrifice everything for Buddhism. Why do you care about this?"
It was obvious that he was mocking, but the man in monk's robe didn't mind. He had been under the influence of incense for a long time, especially after entering this palace, the incense was even more intense, and his temperament gradually evolved towards the appearance of those sculptures, becoming more and more...
He has the demeanor of a Buddha, and every move and every move has a trace of the Buddha's mark in it. The so-called sadness and anger are even more impossible to see.
"To say that if you follow his teachings, all sins will be eliminated; if you don't follow his teachings, the devil will enter the palace, and you will go to hell after death, etc., this is private." The man in monk's robe said quietly, "The ancients could see through it.
How can I not understand this?"
The man was shocked. He didn't expect that he didn't care about the opinions of other sects as much as he showed. Although he didn't accept things from other sects, he also had an attitude of not refuting them. When he thought of the person behind him who had educated him all his life, this person
He just sighed: "You have a good master."
The man in monk's robe was noncommittal about the fact that he attributed all his views to his master and said: "On this point, master is naturally better than me."
He is better than him at this point.
As for the rest, it depends on what people see.
The man didn't delve too deeply into the meaning of his words. After all, he was not from their sect. No matter how they developed, he had little to do with him. Here, this monk was certainly much more famous than him.
, is simply not on the same level, he is simply a belief-like existence, but in his own organization, why is he not their god?
If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't be like a rat crossing the street, hiding in a country that he didn't want to offend.
For the sake of his people and his organizational beliefs, he must do something that is not accepted by this country. If he does it, he will have to bear the consequences. Moreover, he knows very well that for this country, he is a
An outsider, and an outsider who disrupts harmony.
He is only a god to his own power.
The monk in front of him is a god-like existence in the eyes of those who believe in Tibetan Buddhism around the world. This is something he cannot compare to.
This is the difference between faith and country.
Belief does not matter country or race. If it is not only people with advanced wisdom, then it will certainly not matter species.
But faith is just faith after all, because it is omnipresent, so except for the Vatican, no country will let faith occupy the political arena and become the ruling class of the country, because they all know that faith cannot become a country, it is about the crowd.
A group that is essentially in conflict with beliefs.
When faith conflicts with national interests, it is the most difficult thing for those in power in countries with faith to do.
Of course, this kind of thing will not happen in China, but this country has brainwashed the interests of one party into the interests of the country, so that no one can feel the conflict. This is also unprecedented in world history.
It's quite a weird one.
The man in monk's robe was very disdainful of this, and the man in front of him was equally disdainful.
They have a common point of view, and both of them can provide each other with what they want, so the two people with different purposes meet here secretly, and what they say will make everyone confused if it is spread out, but
But it can let key people grasp the handle.
"He's almost there."
The man in monk's robe knew his purpose, took such a big risk, and tried every possible means to sneak in here, just to tell him that he couldn't wait any longer. If he hadn't suppressed him, he would have already taken action.
He knew that he had nothing to coerce the man in front of him, but he had many things to do, many things that could make the other party grasp the handle, but he also knew that what the other party valued was his success.
Power, that scene where all living beings worship him, he can get a lot at that time. Moreover, what he wants him to do may not be easy for him, but for the other person, it is simply commonplace.
After all, how could an eminent monk like him do such things as murder and arson?
The man opposite was stunned for a moment, and in an instant he understood what he meant. Looking at the calm monk, he couldn't help showing a strange expression and said: "You seem to be looking forward to it?"
He did not refute or agree: "Birth, aging, illness and death are natural human phenomena. Most people cannot see through them. How can we as Buddhists insist on this? Now that things have reached this point, there is no room for us to turn around. China
There is an old saying that says: Take things as they come. No matter if he is here or not, will you change your plans? Our plan was originally started after he is gone, but you just can't keep calm."
There was obvious dissatisfaction in his words.
The other party knew what he was dissatisfied with, and explained with a smile: "There have been a lot of domestic incidents recently, and many branches have been wiped out. Even the international situation is very tense, and more and more people are criticizing us.
, I came here to see when our plan can start, and secondly to avoid the limelight. After all, no one would have thought that I would make a fuss under their noses? No one would have thought that I would actually
In such a sacred place?”
The man in monk's robe nodded after listening to his explanation. He had arranged some things for many years, and he didn't want to destroy them because of something at this time. If all his efforts were wasted, even with his cultivation, he would probably have the urge to kill, and this plan
From the beginning, he said that it could only be carried out after he was gone. After waiting for so many years, everything was fast.
It was not the first time for the person opposite to come here. He had accidentally broken in before and met a young monk who had just left the monks and secretly came here at the same time. The two of them got to know each other in that environment.
, the two of them kept exchanging letters, and no one knew the secret. Even in the letters, many of the contents were communicated by secret codes. He had been wandering for a long time, and he wanted to do something big that no one could have imagined.
, came together for different purposes, and it has been a long time.
Looking at the lobby, which had obviously been renovated recently, he curled his lips and said with a very disdainful expression: "Mistakes have already been made, can they make up for the sins in their hearts by constantly repairing such an external thing?"
This palace has been under construction for many years, as long as they can remember. To this day, people are still allocating funds. No one has ever cared about where the money will go in the end, and no one has ever cared about where this place is.
Either it has been repaired, what they insist on is to make their hearts less sinful, but both of them here know very well that there are some things that cannot be paid off by repairing something, and what is owed is what is owed.
So they took their things with peace of mind and neither refused nor objected, but forgiveness was difficult. Not only the man in monk's robe could not forgive, but also most of the believers here had a grudge in their hearts. He was not his master.
Sins should be punished in the first place, and the other party has not shown any real intention to apologize. He cannot be like his master who has a clear mind and doesn't care about anything. He just pays attention to the attitude of letting it go. He doesn't
Perhaps, the man standing in front of him became his current identity because it was impossible to do it. As long as it was detrimental to the country, this man would do it for the remaining resentment in his heart.
Only at this time would the man in monk's robe ignore the words he most often advises people: people will always learn to grow in constant hatred and love.
I loved it, I hated it, and in the end I didn’t love it anymore, and I didn’t hate it either.
You will also grow up.
He gave up everything and didn't care about everything in the world. He couldn't let go of this thing alone, and that thing.
In his opinion, these two matters are related to the inheritance of faith. As an unswerving inheritor of Tibetan Buddhism, he does not allow this inheritance to be threatened in any way. From this perspective, if the man opposite him is not
Because if he could help him, he would never look at him.
For the sake of his own selfish interests, he completely disregarded the lives of his subordinates and hostile forces. Such a person really did not deserve to be seen by him, if he was not still relying on him.
But he didn't care. In the eyes of the other party, he was also doing what he thought he should do for his own selfish interests.
It's just that the origin is different.
The man in monk's robe also looked around. After he came here, it had been repaired. At that time, a new Shani asked him why. He once said: "Hundreds of thousands of lives, no matter what we do, we can't do too much."

This place is called Potala Palace.
ps1: Happy Lantern Festival!
ps2: The second volume has begun, and a new journey has begun. It is also from the second volume that various conspiracies will slowly surface, and figures from various forces will begin to gather. Even Ye Yizhe did not expect it.
This volume is also the volume where Ye Yizhe's character has undergone a major turning point. Previously, because he wanted to insist on something, he slowly began to change his character. In his heart, he knows the feeling of being in the spotlight.
It was not what he wanted, but now in order to protect what he wanted to protect, and for all the people who cared about him, no matter how unwilling he was, he finally took the path of a great hero, just for the sake of being on the vast plateau.
