Chapter 431 Fire house
"According to the school's favorite saying, rights correspond to responsibilities."
The old monk said: "The Academy accepts the support of the entire State of Yu, so the disciples of the Academy must contribute their ingenuity to the State of Yu.
On the other hand, the court of Yu State collected taxes from the common people, but failed to protect the latter.
While the high officials and dignitaries are full of brains and stomachs, the poor and the poor are still living in misery and danger. "
Jianquan glanced at the citizens of Xingzhou on the street, and said calmly: "Many sects and demon religions claim to give believers happiness, and this kind of happiness is based on deception, oppression, and even the misfortune of others.
But I am different, the technique of the Six Paths of Reincarnation can bring true relief to the desperate. Freed from hell.
If you try to stop me, you might as well think about it first, what position do you take?
The court of Yu State didn't pay much attention to these people, and regarded them as pigs and dogs that could be treated and fooled at will.
Scholar scholars don’t care about these people, they are only obsessed with the romance in their own world.
Now I have found a new way to save this group of people who were abandoned, trampled and oppressed by Yu State,
As a disciple of the academy, should you stand up and stop me at this time?
Tell this group of people to follow the rules, go back obediently, and continue to live their lives without seeing the sun? "
Jianquan is an eminent monk after all, and his skill in debating scriptures is so profound that Sui Yi has no ability to refute.
“.”
Li Ang fell into silence. He knew that what Jianquan said was true to a certain extent. There were indeed many officials in the court of Yu State who regarded the people as pigs and dogs in their hearts, and they could squeeze, deceive, fool, and sacrifice at will to seek benefits for themselves. self-interest.
Li Ang's inner morality also makes him absolutely unable to say "Don't be safe and hungry, but follow the example of the praying mantis" to reprimand the people.
He took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and said in a deep voice: "But you should give people the right to choose.
Among the 800,000 people in Xingzhou City, there are also many who are relatively satisfied with their current lives and are unwilling to enter reincarnation.
You forcibly take away their souls, claiming to save them, isn't it a kind of oppression?
Secondly, you can’t prove that the Six Realms of Reincarnation can really give people awakening and liberation as you said, and let people enter eternal peace and joy. "
This is the crux of the problem. Jianquan's plan is like a black box.
It is impossible to know what happened in the box and what state it is in from the outside world.
Maybe the soul can really be detached in it,
Maybe it's not much better inside than the real world, maybe it's worse—such as a dead void of nothingness.
People die like lights go out.
Jianquan couldn't prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so naturally he couldn't convince Li Ang.
What's more, even if it proves that the Six Paths of Reincarnation is feasible,
Yu Kingdom, Xuegong and even Taihao Mountain will definitely not agree.
Just imagine, if the illusion of the Six Paths is really extremely happy, people all over the world will flock to it,
No one wants to live a good life anymore, and they all wish to give up their physical bodies in advance, enter the illusion of the six realms, and enjoy peace and happiness.
This will destroy the foundation of civilization, which cannot be tolerated by any country or sect.
"I really can't prove it."
Jianquan shook his head, formed a Dharma seal with his hands, and said calmly: "So, the problem has returned to the original point."
The atmosphere at the scene became depressed again, Li Ang squeezed the reading line connecting the underground, and remained silent. Sui Yi clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, the hair on his shoulders was about to ignite.
Tap-tap-
The footsteps that had been ringing from just now gradually stopped, and the people of Xingzhou had gathered together.
Everyone was smiling, with fascinated expressions, listening to the ethereal Buddha voice issued by Shadow Demon.
Jianquan said suddenly.
Li Ang frowned, "Sorry for what?"
"It's important to me that I can't risk my plan failing."
Jianquan said calmly: "I don't know if you will detonate the talisman in the end, so I did it first."
Before the words fell, Li Ang had already noticed the abnormality.
The surrounding scene slowly dissipated like sand and dust. Sui Yi beside him, and even the people of Xingzhou on the street, all turned into flying sand.
In sight, there is only Jianquan, and an extremely empty white space.
Illusion.
Li Ang's heart sank, and he was unknowingly drawn into the illusion by Jianquan.
When did you get the trick? When Jianquan put out the Dharma seal just now? or earlier?
Before I had time to recall carefully, magnificent glass temples rose in the direction of Jianquan, the sky was covered with brilliant Buddha lights, and lotus flowers formed on the ground.
A statue of Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat floated over with auspicious clouds, and the sound of Buddha like Hong Zhong Dalu vibrated Li Ang's eardrums.
Here is the illusion constructed by Jianquan.
"Actually, today I have countless opportunities to kill you."
Jianquan, standing in the lotus platform, said calmly: "After all, you are still too weak, even if you have studied in the academy for three years, even if you carry a few rare treasures on your body, you still can't exert your full strength.
but I do not have. I'm still trying to convince you.
After all, you are the little God of Medicine King who is well-known all over the world, and you have truly done countless good things for the people. Far more noble than those fat-headed people. "
"So I'm borrowing the light of my own fame again?"
Li Ang scratched his head, this place is really an illusion, and the book of all souls he carried with him did not respond.
"You can say that."
Jianquan nodded and said: "Now I offer you two options, one is to stay here quietly, and when I complete the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I will let you and your senior sister go away safe and sound."
"What about the second type?"
"Become the last human candidate."
Jianquan's tone was still calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Li Ang was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Deep in my heart, I believe what you said has some truth. The world is like a house of fire, and all living beings are suffering. It is absolutely difficult to achieve happiness for everyone."
Jian Quan seemed to know what Li Ang was going to say, and said in advance: "But?"
“However, people need to save themselves, and people can save themselves.”
Li Ang said: "Just a few decades ago, giving birth to a pregnant woman was like walking through the gate of hell. Children were born with a high probability of dying of diseases, even the royal family's children were not immune.
Now, with midwifery technology and various drugs, this kind of life and death can be much less.
In the past, it took several months or even half a year to go out of the courtyard, and they might be robbed and killed by bandits and road tyrants at any time on the way.
Now, it only takes a few hours to reach a destination thousands of miles away on a spiritual locomotive.
You have also seen the benefits of Xuegong technology to the common people. The State of Yu is getting richer and stronger, and the people of the State of Yu no longer have to struggle on the poverty line. There will be fewer and fewer tragedies like Ran Wu.
Maybe one day, everyone can afford medical care, go to school, live in a house, provide care for the old, educate the young, support the poor, and help the difficult, and the world will be unified.
All of this happens in the real world, without resorting to hallucinations. "
Li Ang doesn't believe in the so-called Haotian, gods and Buddhas, and illusions. To create human happiness, it must and can only rely on human beings themselves.
"Is it?"
Jianquan shook his head after listening, and said gently: "As you said, the technology invented by Xuegong may improve the lower limit of the living conditions of the people of Yu State.
But I doubt that technology users can keep their original intentions. "
