I really can't understand why there are huge grinding discs in Fengdu and Jifu, grinding the soul into two auras and depositing it. Is the so-called reincarnation all deceptive
However, in Taoism's view, there is really no reincarnation. Perhaps, the millpan originally belonged to Fengdu completely, and half of it was taken up after the emergence of the underground palace. But now that the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva became a Buddha, the Emperor Fengdu naturally wanted to get back what belonged to him.
Asan's observation is nuanced. She pointed to the lotus throne of the Buddha and said: "Look carefully, the petals on it are not only missing one petal, one, two, three, four... at least eight petals are missing. In other words, like Now this kind of battle has been carried out eight times. If every time, the ghost emperor of the five parties will take the opportunity to push the capital city, it means that the place occupied by the capital city before is far inferior to that of the underworld."
The reason why Ah San said this is only because the world compartment has been continuously advancing under the impetus of the five ghost emperors. We retreated as we spoke, and now we have retreated one or two hundred meters. The Wufang Ghost Emperor still didn't stop, they marched slowly, and the Emperor Fengdu stared at the Buddha with his eyes like torches.
Although I was shocked by Ah San's discovery, there were also many puzzles. Among them, what I want to know most is why Ah San is so excited about this event. The soul is ground into breath, shouldn't Ah San be disappointed? She wanted to find Fengdu, just to find the soul of the dead. Now that the soul has become breath, how can she find it
I only hesitated for a moment, and immediately asked this question. Asan grinned and said: "Remember what I said before that after the era of mythology was shattered, the ghosts of the ghost country became humans, and they became ghosts again after death?"
I nodded and said, "Of course I remember, but what is the relationship between these two things?"
"Of course it's related, and it's very important." Asan said: "First of all, you have to understand what it means for a ghost to become a human and then to become a ghost."
"Isn't it because people live and then die..." I said the answer I thought, but then I felt that the answer seemed to be missing something.
Asan shook his head and said, "Your words are too straightforward. They seem reasonable, but they are actually boring. Ghosts become humans, and then they become ghosts. What will happen after that?"
I didn't dare to answer easily, so I thought hard. Ah San came over and patted my head angrily, and said, "Why are you so stupid! It's said that ghosts will become humans, do you still have to think about it!"
I didn't react at first, and after chanting a few times, I figured out what she meant was that ghosts became humans, then they became ghosts, and then they became humans. This cycle is repeated and endless. After trying to understand this, I learned by analogy and understood her other meanings.
No wonder Ah San is so excited. She believes that ghosts will become humans, and people will become ghosts when they die in the world. Although the grinding disc grinds the soul into breath, it does not mean that the soul disappears. They are only preserved in another form, and at a certain time, they will become humans in the world.
These words actually mean reincarnation.
Seeing my sudden realization, Ah San immediately said: "Finally, you are not stupid enough yet."
I was a little helpless, looking at her and asking: "Why did the millstone crush the soul? Isn't this unnecessary?"
"I have been thinking about this question for a long time. After thinking about it, I think there may be two answers." Asan said.
"Which two?" I asked.
Asan thought for a while, and then said: "You are so stupid, I'd better start with the Buddhist netherworld."
I was a little speechless, but wanted to hear her opinion, so I didn't speak up. Asan continued: "You are so stupid. You must know that there are six reincarnations in the underworld. Before entering the cycle, you have to cross the Naihe Bridge and drink Mengpo Tang.
I'm even more speechless, why I am so stupid and know so many things...
Ah San did not need me to answer the question. She continued: "Crossing the Nai River Bridge is to identify good and evil. The good is reborn, and the evil one enters the eighteenth hell. Drinking Mengpo Tang is to forget the previous life. These two. It seems to be irrelevant, but in fact, it is very relevant. Whether to identify good and evil or to drink Mengpo soup, it is to sever the relationship with the previous life. From then on, the flower will still be a flower, and it will not bloom again in the next season. It's that flower."
Ah San's words are literal, a bit like Monk Jue Ming. I did not disturb her, motioned to continue. Ah San was a little proud, and said: "As for the grinding plate of Fengdu, the soul is ground into a pure breath, and the same breath can be merged with each other just like anyone. In this way, there is no memory and the past. Here it is. In one point, the principle of grinding disc and reincarnation is the same. I doubt that the reason why Buddhism has six reincarnations is to replace Daoism's big grinding disc. But now Fengdu and Jifu are empty, nothing exists, only this grinding disc and Fengdu It was born at the same time and can be preserved. Therefore, Emperor Fengdu wanted to invade the underworld."
I nodded and admitted that she was right: "But I still don't understand why you are happy."
"You are so stupid." Ah San pursed his lips and said, "After talking for a long time, you still don't understand? Since the grinding disc and the six reincarnations have the same function, it means that the soul can be reincarnated, even if it is crushed. If you turn these words in reverse, it means that the aura can turn into a soul and be reincarnated!"
This sentence immediately made me see the blue sky by pushing away the clouds and mist, and everything was clear. Asan means that the soul can be turned into breath, and the breath can also be reduced to the soul. When I first figured this out, I still had questions about her happiness, but after thinking about it for a while, I completely understood.
The grinding disc grinds the soul into aura, and this aura accumulates so many reincarnations that have never been able to be reincarnated. This is naturally related to the battle between Fengdu and the underworld. Ah San's happiness is that Feng Du has not only been fighting with the underworld for a few days, they may have been fighting for decades, hundreds of years or even longer.
In this way, the souls of the people who died during this period of time were ground into aura and stored in two places without reincarnation, and Asan, naturally there was a chance to retrieve the soul again.
Although it is impossible to recognize the soul in the breath, the soul is still here anyway. If you have reincarnated, that is the real trouble. With so many people in the world, who knows where the soul will go, finding a needle in a haystack is much harder than finding lice in sesame seeds.
I touched my nose, Ah San is indeed better than me. Monk Jueming and I have been in for so long. Although we found the broken ghost gate and metal fragments along the way, we found nothing, let alone understand the underworld. After Ah San entered Fengdu, he only asked Xiao Xiao to take a look at it, and as the situation continued to change, he inferred many things.
Although I don't want to admit it, I can't deny that Asan is really an extremely clever little fairy.
As a man, I couldn’t lose to her so easily, so I asked: "There is one more thing I don’t understand. The soul can only be reborn to one person, so the number of souls must be fixed. Humans continue to multiply now. The population has doubled so many times than it was thousands of years ago. If it is true that the soul can be reborn in order to grow up, where does this extra soul come from?"
"You're really stupid." Asan said, "I told you that the soul was ground into aura by the grinding disc. Do you still have to ask!"
I was so bluntly despised by her. Although there were not many people around me, I still felt embarrassed and said, "Don't tell me that those breaths can grow on their own, and then more souls can be differentiated."
"Can't it?" Ah San asked.
"They are not humans, how can they reproduce themselves..." I said.
"Even the poor human cells can divide and multiply into yours. Why can't the soul? Don't you think the soul is not as good as the cells?" Ah San asked.
I can't speak, her words are always so reasonable that people can't refute them.
That’s right. Human beings are about one meter or two meters in size. They are made from small, poor cells. So why should the soul reproduce itself
Seeing that I had nothing to say, Ah San said even more contemptuously: "I graduated from high school anyway, and I am not as good as someone who has never gone to school."
I gave a dry laugh, feeling a little blush, thinking about who can turn your brains so fast. But at the same time, without wanting to admit defeat, I asked: "If those breaths are mixed, they can increase on their own, then you want to find a fixed soul, isn't it more difficult?"
"It's not difficult at all." Asan's words were beyond my expectation.
Seeing her full of confidence, I asked, "What can you do?"
Asan smiled and said: "You forgot, I will divination?"
"Can divination be used on this?" I was taken aback and asked, "Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with legends and myths and cannot be calculated?"
"The myths and legends are related to Fengdu and Jifu, Fengdu the Great and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. What kind of legend is the soul?" Asan curled his lips and said, "Many people can figure out where the soul is, so naturally I can."
I was silent, there are indeed many records about divine calculation in this world. Asan said that if she could figure out the position of the soul, she would definitely be able. No wonder she was so happy, she wanted to come, she should have found what she was looking for.
However, Asan said, "Although I can figure out where the souls are, I can't restore them from breath to souls."
"What about then?" I asked.
"Of course, when they are reincarnated, we will find a way." Asan said.
I was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the confronting Emperor Fengdu and the Great Buddha, and said: "If you say, reincarnation must wait for the two of them to decide the victory or defeat, wouldn't it take hundreds of thousands of years?"
"So, let's find a way to help." Asan said with a chuckle.
"Help? How can I help?" I asked subconsciously.
"We are all ours, of course, to help Emperor Fengdu. Although the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is great, but after all he has become a Buddha and left the underworld, occupying a pit without shit. Let's change a place for him to sit. The old Bodhisattva will definitely not mind. "Yes." Ah San said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
