There is a person in the fireball, that person is Da Zizai.
In the Central Plains, perhaps not many people know the three words of Dazizai, and those who do know will not have any respect for these three words. But on the vast prairie to the west, the things represented by these three characters are so awe-inspiring. How many herdsmen have crawled forward and worshiped sincerely, just to enter the Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain. Even just being received by an ordinary monk is enough for this herdsman to recall his whole life.
If I could meet someone like Da Zizai, I'm afraid I would be so excited beyond words.
It is such a person, because of a little bit of carelessness and a little bit of miscalculation, now he has become a ball of fire.
"The head of the Buddha said that everyone has sins, and only karmic fire can burn everything, burn away sins, and let people leave this world cleanly and go to bliss."
Fang Jie looked at the constantly churning fireball and said in a daze: "No matter how much hatred you have for the Buddhist sect, it is undeniable that the hypocritical ideas of the Buddhist sect are still reasonable, and they are deceitful. And those who deceive are all kind and simple people... But, isn’t it also guiding people to be good? Those high-ranking monks in the Buddhist Dalun Temple in the Western Regions have forgotten their intentions, but those herdsmen believers have not.”
Fang Jie thought of those seemingly unreliable and incomprehensible monks in Dali City, and thought of the crazy monk who misunderstood his true temperament.
"Buddha sect will not perish."
Xiang Qingniu sighed: "Even though the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions has been suppressed by the Quoke Taimeng family, this sect will still be passed down in the cracks. Maybe they will lie dormant underground like cicadas for a long time. When the time is right, it will come out and fly up the big tree to tweet... "
"Perhaps, the future Buddhist sect is the Buddhist sect like the great monk who misunderstood himself, which is the best result."
Fang Jie turned around and looked at Yang Jian.
As he turned around, Da Zizai, who had been charred over there, finally fell to the ground, never standing up again, never shedding his skin again. But the flame is still burning. Although Fang Jie's golden fire is different from the Buddha's karmic fire, they have one thing in common, that is, they will never burn out and never be extinguished.
"In this world, perhaps no one knows how to grasp the timing better than you."
Yang Jian said something sincerely.
Fang Jie smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, but there are still some things that have to be counted."
Yang Jian nodded: "You two, one is Wan Xingchen's closed disciple, and the other is Yang Qi's disciple... I know that there is only one way between us in the end. However, I ordered Wan Xingchen's body to be brought back Jiang Pan dug out and flogged the corpse and has not regretted it until now, because he deserved it."
Xiang Qingniu bit his lip: "Don't worry, if I kill you, I will whip the corpse, and you deserve it."
"This world is so strange..."
Yang Jian sighed: "If Wan Xingchen can be resurrected now, it is impossible for him to stand here face to face and not blame me for whipping his corpse, because he knows that such a thing should happen. The same is true for me. If someone dies Whipping corpses, I will not be too indignant when I come back to life, because I know that some people want to do this. But... Wan Xingchen doesn't care, I don't care, it doesn't mean that his descendants and my descendants don't care, this is different."
"There is one more difference."
Xiang Qingniu sneered and said: "Wan Xingchen has descendants, you... have no more."
Yang Jian took a deep breath, then looked at Fang Jie: "Before I fight, can I ask you a question?"
Xiang Qingniu looked at Fang Jie and said: "Don't pay attention to him, he is delaying time to restore his cultivation."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Listen to his question."
Yang Jian hummed, and smiled gratefully: "There is something I can't figure out all the time... Especially after I reappeared in the world, I can't figure it out even more. Should practitioners exist? If this If there are no practitioners in time, then the war will not be like it is now. The outcome of the battle between you and me directly affects the outcome of more than one million soldiers in the two armies. I always feel that it is more fair to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield."
"Hypocritical!"
Xiang Qingniu scolded: "If the existence of a practitioner is meaningless, why do you want my master's half cultivation level? If you don't have this half cultivation level, can you fight Luo Yao? Can you fight Shengtu? Can you fight Luo Yao? Fighting against Tonggu Academy? Can you fight against Da Zizai? People like you are obviously taking advantage of it, but you still want to pretend that you should take advantage of it, it's disgusting."
Yang Jian was not angry, and said with some emotion in his tone: "More than a thousand years ago, Sang Luan created a practice, so the war in this world became no longer simple. Before Sang Luan could practice, the people of all tribes in the Western Regions The solution to conflicts between people is a fair decisive battle on the battlefield. And after the Sang Rebellion? Great practitioners have directly affected fairness, and whichever tribe has practitioners can bully tribes without practitioners at will."
"Why do practitioners appear in the Central Plains and the Western Regions? But not on the other side of the sea? Although foreigners look slightly different from us, they have the same physique. Why do practitioners from the Central Plains and Western Regions emerge in endlessly under the same physique, but in the Western Regions? There is no other side of the ocean?"
Yang Jian looked at Fang Jie and asked, "Have you thought about this question?"
Fang Jie nodded: "I thought about it, but I haven't found the answer yet. Maybe... someone has already found the answer, but he didn't tell me what it is."
After being silent for a while, Yang Jian suddenly asked seriously: "Do you believe that there is a god in this world?"
…
…
Fang Xie wanted to say that he didn't believe it, but when he thought that his appearance in this world was something an atheist couldn't explain clearly, Fang Xie couldn't deny it. Most people in this world, no matter ordinary people or practitioners, firmly believe that there are gods in this world.
The gods control the order and rules of the world.
Everyone's fate is controlled by the gods.
"What do you want to say?"
Fang asked.
Yang Jian took a deep breath and said seriously: "I also thought of this not long ago, after you sent someone to notify me of the invasion of foreigners from Eastern Xinjiang, I thought of it... I can't help but think about it." , Why do foreigners take two completely different paths from us? If... if foreigners can practice, will firearms appear on the other side of the ocean? Will they develop rapidly?"
"I am the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and I am the emperor after all, so I always think farther than others, and I think about issues from the perspective of a country."
Yang Jian said slowly: "Because of this, I can't help but think about these things. I am sure that if foreigners could practice cultivation more than a thousand years ago, it might be exactly the same as we are now, with practitioners occupying the absolute dominance. Even the emperor can't control his will. In the same world, there are different developments, why?"
Yang Jian asked.
Fang Jie was silent and did not answer.
Why hasn't he thought about such a question
Whenever Fang Jie thinks about this problem, he always connects with himself. Is there really something in the dark, and something can be changed by letting oneself come into this world? But the longer he stayed in this world, Fang Xie realized that his relationship with this world was really not that great. Even if you don't have yourself, the world will usher in changes. And this change is the invasion of foreigners.
As for practitioners...
Fang Jie can't determine whether the existence is reasonable or irrational, whether something is deliberately made or it is really just a different development.
But Fang Jie is sure of one thing, that is, the existence of practitioners does hinder the development of the entire society. Regardless of whether that development is good or bad for people, it is blocked by practitioners. Take firearms as an example, if there are no practitioners, perhaps people from the Central Plains or Western Regions have invented them over the past thousand years, and they will not lag behind foreigners.
Fang Xie thought of his backwardness in the past and modern times, which stemmed from his ignorance of the world. But this world is not closed, Tai Sui has always maintained communication with the outside world. Although the foreigners were blocked by Eastern Chu, the Sui people knew that there was a country with a different civilization on the other side of the sea.
"The army of the Sui Dynasty..."
Yang Jian sighed: "It's not just the army of the Sui Dynasty? After I saw the power of Shengtu's firearms, I was really shocked... I was thinking, since when did the weapons in our hands not change? Sui has not changed for two hundred years, and Zheng has not changed for four hundred years. How can we go forward? Liannu appeared two thousand years ago, and the technology of Liannu was actually perfected more than 1,700 years ago. , the Liannu has reached the extreme... Although Sui improved the Liannu here, it only made the firing speed of the Liannu faster."
Yang Jian said: "Perhaps two thousand years ago, the foreigners had just produced the Liannu. The power of the Liannu was brought into full play more than a thousand years ago. We didn't think of a change, because we have far more power than the Liannu. Powerful practitioners exist. Foreigners do not have practitioners, so they can concentrate on how to increase the power of weapons."
Yang Jian said: "Don't you think that these are two different civilizations deliberately created by something? At this end of the sea, people are constantly pursuing the ultimate power of human beings, and want to make the human body stronger. And On the other side of the sea, people are constantly pursuing the ultimate power of tools, and want to make tools more powerful... In the end, who is right?"
"I have no idea."
Fang Jie shook his head and answered very simply.
"I don't know..."
Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief: "I have finished asking you what I want to ask you, and the next thing is the inevitable battle between you and me. The reason why I mentioned this to you is to tell you something... Today's battle, if you die , I will continue to search for the answer. If I die, I hope you can continue to search for the answer. If we can’t find this answer, maybe the people of the Central Plains will suffer for a long time to come.”
"Cultivators, after all, the number is limited. And the enemy can kill with a firearm in his hand."
"good."
Fang Jie nodded: "I will continue to look for the answer."
"If someone really made it on purpose... no matter who it is!"
Yang Jian bit his lip: "Kill him!"
"Actually...haven't I already had some answers? The existence of practitioners can only make a small number of people, a very small number of people, stronger, and make ordinary people more and more dependent on this very small number of people. And the existence of tools Development makes ordinary people stronger. The war in the eastern border...maybe, you will lose."
Yang Jian said: "The reason why I tell you this is because I know that when I look at the people in the world, I feel that you are the only one who is really for the world. You treat the people sincerely, and so do I!"
He straightened his back: "No matter what I did to my relatives or friends, it was all out of my own selfishness. I never deny that. But I founded the country and established the Sui Dynasty to let the people live a better life." better!"
