The city lord of the Land of Bliss is one person.
So why did the old abbot say that it was all sentient beings
Xiao Shao's eyes were thoughtful and he said, "Thank you abbot."
The old abbot bowed and said, "Donor, you're welcome."
Xiao Shao said, "Abbot, why do you enshrine the Two-Faced Buddha?"
The abbot did not speak, but his expression was still kind.
Lin Shu knew that this question was beyond the scope of the abbot's answer.
Previously, they stopped the old man on the road and asked who the owner of the Land of Bliss was. The old man did not give any meaningful answer, but the abbot did, indicating that the abbot's mind was clearer and he had an understanding of the world.
When asked, "Why do you enshrine the double-sided Buddha?", the abbot couldn't answer.
Why enshrine the double-faced Buddha is a more difficult question to answer than "Who is the owner of the Land of Bliss"
The abbot didn't answer, and things came to a deadlock again. Xiao Shao used his spiritual power to urge the Buddha statue to rotate slowly.
The Buddha of the past and the Buddha of the future appeared alternately in the rotation, the solemn and silent expression, the palms that were pushed forward, and the eyes that lay across the middle of the face, all revealed some kind of indescribable mystery.
During the process, Xiao Shao suddenly spoke.
"Abbot," he said, "where is the Buddha now?"
The Buddha of the past, the Buddha of the present, and the Buddha of the future are the "three Buddhas" of the Buddhist family, and they often appear together in Buddhist scriptures. However, this temple only enshrines the double-faced Buddha, which is the unity of the Buddha of the past and the Buddha of the future. There may be some problems.
The abbot's tone was still kind: "Now the Buddha is among all beings, and there is no need to enshrine it."
Xiao Shao frowned, as if thinking about the mystery in this sentence.
He stopped.
The Buddha statue just turned to the past Buddha's side, and the eyeballs in the pupils looked down, as if looking straight at the three people in the hall.
Xiao Shao looked at it.
A strange silence flows through the hall.
A trembling meow broke the silence.
Lin Shu and Xiao Shao looked at the cat that was huddled in the corner and would not come out.
Apparently, cats are afraid of Buddha statues.
Therefore, it can be proved that the Buddha statue is the core of this world.
"Senior." Xiao Shao said in a coaxing tone: "If we can't leave this world, you will never be able to eat outside food again."
The cat tilted its head.
Xiao Shao continued: "Not only that, but also unable to soar."
The cat's ears moved.
Although its body is still honestly curled up in the corner, the slightly turning green pupils have revealed the trembling in its heart.
Xiao Shao's voice slowed down: "Good, go out and roast bamboo rats for you."
The cat's ears moved again.
Lin Shu thought, sweet words are really useful.
The cat stood up.
The cat stretched out its front paws.
The cat trembled and walked towards the Buddha statue, and reached the base of the Buddha statue.
But it did not stop, but jumped gently and landed on the lotus pedestal where the Buddha statue was sitting.
Among the nine-petaled golden lotus, the cat trembled for a while.
Then it climbed up again, onto the future Buddha's knee, and then onto the Buddha's arm.
Extend your arms straight forward, palms out.
Then, a black, furry cat's paw rested on the palm of the Buddha statue that was pushed outwards.
This action seems to be forming a mysterious Buddha seal, and looking at the cat's action seems to imply that there is a mystery in this palm.
Xiao Shao stepped forward and observed the palm of the Buddha statue with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Lin Shu also looked at Buddha's palm.
There is a faint mark on the palm of the hand, vaguely also in the shape of an eye looking down.
Eyes are actually a very strange thing. Only when they appear in pairs on a person's face are they not scary.
In any other situation, the shape of a single eye is somewhat mysterious, or even unknown.
Xiao Shao lightly touched the eyes on the palm of his hand.
Putting his hands down, he frowned slightly.
Lin Shu: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Shao said: "There is a... very special feeling."
After saying that, he slowly spread his right hand and put his palm against the palm of the Buddha statue!
Lin Shu opened his eyes.
At that moment, he felt an indescribable ripple in the air!
It's a very, very special feeling.
It seems that there is a slight change in the interior of the whole world, like a huge machine, the gears begin to rotate in different directions.
Xiao Shao closed his eyes, and Lin Shu called him a few times, but there was no response.
The cat was on the arm of the Buddha statue, and was also watching Xiao Shao closely. Since Lin Shu met it, this lazy animal showed off its claws as sharp as a crescent moon for the first time, and seemed ready to take Xiao Shao at any time. Wake up.
Lin Shu looked at the incense stick in the incense stick.
When the incense burnt out, Xiao Shao suddenly opened his eyes!
At this time, his eyes were dark and deep, as if they contained endless chaos. After a while, this feeling gradually dissipated and everything returned to normal.
Lin Shu: "What?"
Xiao Shao said: "I saw a... scene."
After all, he seemed to rationalize his thoughts and searched for suitable words, but to no avail, he said to Lin Shu, "Come on too."
Lin Shu stepped forward and, like Xiao Shao just now, put his palm on the palm of the Buddha statue.
The vast but invisible suction came from the palm of his hand, and his entire soul seemed to be pulled out of his body and fell into the endless abyss.
Unbearable, after the dizziness that filled his entire brain, Lin Shu found that he could see.
grey.
A patch of grey.
Up and down, it's the same scene.
In the dizziness, he didn't see his body, and he didn't know where he was. In the gray world, there was silence and no sound.
After a while, he seemed to have adapted to the environment here, and he was not too dizzy. At the same time, the boundless gray void was suddenly filled with dense, looming golden lines.
At a glance, there are countless, and they are entangled with each other, entangled in an indescribable gesture, and there is a faint light flowing in the lines.
Although it is tangled, but after careful observation, there is a general trend, they seem to be flowing.
It was as if a river of light flowing forward was broken here by Lin Shu.
Going forward is the void, so Lin Shu chose to go upstream.
He didn't know what a long journey this was, but he only knew that the entangled, golden threads were constantly decreasing, and the relationship between threads became simpler and no longer so complicated as to make people sick.
This golden river of light narrowed and narrowed in the void, only half its original width, and then stopped abruptly.
It converges to a point.
What exactly is this
Lin Shu lingered at the golden light spot in the void.
As a person with modern physics literacy, many professional and scientific terms flashed in his mind.
For example, the very simple concept of mass point and origin, and another example of singularity.
The observation was fruitless, and he went down the river again, moving forward, moving forward.
It seemed that after a lifetime of so long, we finally reached the end of the river. The end stopped abruptly, and the golden threads entwined in the void seemed to be suddenly cut off by a section!
Lin Shu wandered across the cross section, trying to see the whole picture here.
wandering.
He struggled to adjust the angle.
Suddenly, in a certain special position, he suddenly shuddered!
At this position, he saw the real cross-section. Due to the limited viewing angle, the ins and outs of the golden thread were all hidden behind, and he saw the sky and the ground covered with golden light spots.
The golden light spots flicker faintly, and the background is an endless void. The whole scene is like the starry sky that you can see when you look up on a midsummer night.
The next moment, the world was spinning for a while, and when he regained consciousness, he returned to the Buddhist temple.
Xiao Shao helped him and stabilized his figure: "Did you see it?"
Lin Shu: "I see."
Then, he eased from the dizziness and took a few breaths: "A river, many lines are flowing... But I don't know what it means."
Xiao Shao: "I didn't figure it out either."
Lin Shu was relieved.
Brother Shao didn't figure it out, so if he didn't understand it, it wasn't a shame.
Xiao Shao turned the Buddha statue, faced the future Buddha side, and said, "Try again?"
Lin Shu nodded.
The Buddha statue is very large, so the hands are also very large, and the two of them can put their palms on it at the same time.
After the same vertigo, what appeared in front of them was a starry sky.
But Lin Shu was already an experienced person. He floated to the side, and the scene immediately changed, turning into a river of tangled golden threads.
At the same time, another golden light spot floated in front of his eyes.
This world has only lines and no points, so Lin Shu estimated that this was Xiao Shao.
And his current form should also be a spot of light.
He saw the spot of light draw a circle towards him.
So he also flew a circle.
The spot of light flew close to him.
Together they flew in the direction of the river.
fly.
keep flying.
In the space just now, there were fewer and fewer silk threads, and the river became narrower and narrower, but now, they are flying forward. Some of the tangled golden threads are broken, but new threads are constantly being born. Widening at a slow rate, the lines entangle in more and more complex ways.
The whole world is filled with golden rivers that cannot be seen.
The whole river, as if forever, never end.
Xiao Shao stopped.
Lin Shu also stopped.
Xiao Shao seemed to have given up the idea of continuing to move forward and began to circle around him.
Lin Shu also circled around Xiao Shao.
Walking around, he found the light spot representing Xiao Shao, dragging a faint golden trail.
He looked back and found that he also left a trace in the void because of his flying.
The two traces intertwined, and then disappeared quickly.
He suddenly stopped, and a thunder burst in his mind!
There was a buzzing sound in his mind, as if he had learned a shocking secret.
If he had a body, he would tremble slightly at this time.
He remembered a word.
Click into line.
Click into line!
This is not modern physics, this is mathematics.
He looked at the golden threads.
People, independent people, are a golden point of light in this space.
When the light point moves slowly and moves forward, it is a line.
When two light spots meet, attract or repel each other, their lines become entangled and no longer parallel.
And many, many, uncountable points of light together, moving forward, become a golden river.
Suppose, suppose, that each point of light is a person, or an animal, or a grass, or a tree.
All the light points together are the projection of the entire Great Thousand World in the void.
And time flows forward, the spot of light keeps advancing, and the river of light continues to flow.
The names of Buddha statues, past Buddha, present Buddha, and future Buddha, are related to time.
Then every cross-section of the river, the starry sky composed of vast light spots, is the appearance of this world at a specific point in time.
For example, when they came here, the cross section in front of them symbolized the present.
The river of light flows from the past and flows to the future. The form in which all the threads are entangled with each other is the change of the world they live in over time.
Then this river of light is... the river of time.
The author has something to say: Maybe a bit abstract
It's almost like a four-dimensional space.
A point moves on a plane, it only sees itself as a point.
But looking down from higher dimensions, it draws a line.
Humans are similar in time.
I am a materialist cultivator, sand sculpture, but hardcore!
