Chapter 1283: Who Is Me in the Past and Present?
"The old man's common surname is Wu, and his single name is the word 'Yi'. His master gave him the Taoist name 'Zuo Wang'." The soul captured by the little boy's Dharma image has no such arrogance and frivolity of the little boy. Instead, he became a well-behaved ascetic.
The holographic image on the opposite side, like interrogating a prisoner, asked unceremoniously: "What is your identity in Xuantianzong?"
"This old man is the third generation patriarch of the Xuantian Sect." Speaking of this point, this Taoist named Wu Yi's tone showed a bit of pride.
It is true that there are tens of thousands of ascetics in the world, but only a few of them can finally become a generation of patriarchs.
Why is the Earth Immortal called the Dao Patriarch? In fact, it is somewhat similar to the Jindan Grandmaster. They all say that their achievements have reached a certain height.
The Golden Core Master, the reason why he can be called a master, is because he already has the level of opening doors and teaching disciples.
Kindergarten teachers are also teachers!
And the Daozu of the Earth Immortal, the reason why he is called the Daozu means that he has become the pioneer of a certain path in terms of Taoism.
Of course, at the earliest time, this "ancestor" was relatively strict, and it was really necessary to blaze a trail that no one had ever done before, in order to be eligible to be honored as "ancestor".
For example, there is no talisman in the world, and someone created the way of talisman, then he is the ancestor of talisman.
It's just that later on, the predecessors have almost created the road, and the future generations will find no chance at all if they want to create a road that no one has traveled.
The standard of this "ancestor" had to be lowered step by step.
In the end, as long as the realm has reached the fairyland, it can already be said that "there is no way out" in the mortal world, and it is eligible to be called "Tao ancestor".
In fact, this is not without reason.
Even if they can't create any new roads, they still stand at the peak that mortals can reach, and stand with those ancestors who created these roads.
However, the holographic image didn't feel the arrogance of Taoist Zuo Wang. Instead, he shook his head and continued to ask: "Then, let's talk about the matter of closing the mountain to hide the world! You led it, right?"
The performance of this holographic image can be said to show no respect for the ancestors of the immortals, just like the police interrogating suspects.
The holographic image is just an image, and the real "interrogator" behind it is actually the two distracted avatars in green robe and white robe.
From Qing Pao and Bai Yi's point of view, no matter if they are Taoist Zuo Wang or some kind of ghost king, there is only one identity here, and that is "prisoner under the rank".
Moreover, the reason why this "prisoner" became a prisoner is not very glorious.
So, why ask for respect from others?
"That's right, the old man presided over the matter of avoiding robbery in the world." Taoist Zuo Wang nodded. There are quite a few people, but how can they understand the difficulties of the old man!"
This so-called hiding from the world, although it sounds like a good thing, is actually not very popular.
Closing the door and cutting off internal and external communication not only blocks the disasters outside, but also blocks the opportunities outside.
Your dignified Immortal Daozu has reached the end of the mortal world, so naturally you don't need to care about the opportunities outside.
But what about the disciples of this sect?
Without opportunities and experience, everyone can only work behind closed doors, hoping to achieve something through little by little accumulation.
Of course, even if the internal and external exchanges are not cut off, many people may not have any opportunities in their lifetime.
However, people just "don't give up if you don't see the Yellow River" and "don't look back if you don't hit the south wall".
You don't let them see the south wall, and you don't even let them hit the south wall.
They will always feel in their hearts that maybe there is such a possibility, that is a road to heaven.
therefore,
On the matter of avoiding robbery in the world, most people in Xuantianzong probably would not agree with it at the beginning.
"Difficulties?" The holographic image did not hide its curiosity, and its tone eased a little, and asked: "We would like to hear, what are your difficulties, and you want to drag the whole sect to hide with you?" World."
"Difficulties..." Taoist Zuo Wang pondered for a moment, and then breathed out a sigh of relief. Although the soul did not need to breathe, he said, "Haven't you already seen it? The ghost king's face, that is the old man's previous life, it is this The hardships of having to hide from the world."
Since the dharma appearance is a sublimation of one's own Dao, no one stipulates that the dharma appearance should be the same as the primordial spirit or the soul.
Just like Cangquan Daojun's dharma image is a cold spring.
Therefore, there is a huge difference between the image of the ghost king and the soul of the Taoist Zuo Wang, and it is not so incomprehensible.
But now, Taoist Zuo Wang added another explanation besides common sense.
"Past life? You mean, your previous life was such a ghost king, so in order to avoid being known by others, you simply chose to hide from the world to avoid disaster?" The holographic image was somewhat disbelieving, but it was not the kind of unbelievable disbelief, but I feel that sitting and forgetting the Taoist is a bit of a big deal.
To be honest, although "blood", "ghosts" and "white bones" are all signs of people in the devil's way in the consensus of the people, it doesn't mean that the righteous way can't be touched at all.
After all, judging from the ancient legends, the underworld is on the side of the fairy court.
Therefore, you cannot say that Hades, judges, impermanence, etc., these public officials of the underworld are all demons.
"If it's just the reincarnation of the ghost king, I don't have to worry too much, but what if he still has the Great Seal of Lord Yan integrated into his body?" Taoist Zuo Wang said this, with a somewhat helpless expression on his face, and even used "he" to describe it own previous life.
"The seal of Hades?" The holographic image was even more surprised.
Taoist Zuo Wang was not proud of this, and still had a wry smile on his face, and said: "Otherwise, how could he have reincarnated so many times after the world collapsed, and he still hasn't completely lost his true spirit!"
In the past, when the heavens and the earth did not collapse, the underworld was still functioning normally, and ascetics who wanted to reincarnate and rebuild, they only needed to take care of the judges and impermanence.
After the collapse of heaven and earth, the entire underworld has been abandoned, and the ascetics have to face a big problem when they reincarnate and rebuild, which is the so-called "mystery in the womb".
It is said that if this "mystery in the womb" cannot be solved, everything in the previous life will be forgotten, so there is no need to think about whether to rebuild it or not.
Probably, this is a patch added by the Will of Heaven and Earth in order to make up for the lack of Meng Po soup after the underworld was abandoned.
Otherwise, even if not everyone can be reincarnated, there will be many ghosts who have the opportunity to be reincarnated. Wouldn't there be a lot of young and mature reborns in this world!
And the reincarnated ghost king will also face the mystery of the womb, unless there is some magic weapon that can hold the true spirit.
According to Zuo Wang Taoist, since the ghost king used the great seal of the king of Hades, it is not surprising that he can maintain the true spirit.
"What you've been talking about is 'him', isn't that your previous life?" The holographic image didn't forget the important point in the other party's words, and asked the question directly.
"Past life and future life, how can it be so easy to tell!" Zuo Wang Taoist smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "If there is no past life, wouldn't I be me?"
The words of the Taoist sitting and forgetting are more or less philosophical.
Just like the so-called ultimate human thinking:
who am I?
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
What the Taoist Zuo Wang said is that it is a matter of "me" in terms of "past life" and "present life".
If there is no past life, is there no present life?
That's obviously not right!
After all, the number of people in the world is fluctuating, and generally speaking, it is increasing, and it is not a constant value.
If everyone has a past life, how to explain those extra people?
Moreover, the chicken lays the egg, the egg lays the chicken, what is the past life of the previous life?
So, it turns out that not everyone has a past life.
Not all people are reincarnated by ghosts, and a large number of people are conceived in the fetus.
So, this goes back to the question of the Taoist sitting and forgetting. Which one is the "I" in the "past life" or the "present life"?
"So, now we are only arresting your soul in this life, and where is your previous life?" The holographic image didn't think about philosophical issues, but chose to accept it first.
It's like some people are doing a problem. I may not know how this theorem came about, but as long as I know how to put it into the problem, I can solve the correct answer.
The holographic images, or the Qingpao and Baiyi side, are too lazy to study the problems of past and present lives, so just treat Zuo Wang Taoist as a split personality, wouldn't it be fine!
What past life? What life!
That is split personality, one is the personality of Zuo Wang Taoist, and the other is the personality of the ancient ghost king.
Then, is there anything difficult to understand!
"Actually, when the old man closed the mountain, he arranged the big array of the six desire demons, in addition to closing the mountain to avoid robbery, it was also to weaken his power." Zuowang Taoist mentioned another message, explaining the power of the six desire demon realm question.
After all, when Taoist Zuo Wang closed the mountain, he was only at the level of the Earth Fairyland.
With the cultivation base of the Earth Fairyland, it is not so difficult to arrange a large formation to seal the mountain.
However, it is not so easy for this large formation to evolve into a Jedi, so that it has become one of the several forbidden areas in the Shenhua Domain for thousands of years.
But now, Taoist Zuo Wang can be regarded as an answer. The reason why he can do that is because he "exploited" some power from the ancient ghost king.
You must know that the ancient ghost king is not only a ghost king, but also incorporates the great seal of the king of hell to protect the true spirit.
Therefore, in the Six Desire Demon Realm, in addition to the power of its own formation and the power of the ghost king's desires, there should be the power of the Great Seal of the King of Yama.
"Weaken the ghost king's power and let yourself be the leader. You have a good plan!" The holographic image immediately guessed the purpose of Taoist Zuowang.
Still treat it as a || split personality.
If both personalities want to become the master personality, or even become the only personality, then it is natural to find a way to weaken the influence of the other personality.
Putting it in Zuowang Taoist's place is to use up the spirit power of the ghost king by arranging a large formation.
However, judging from the appearance of that little kid, Taoist Zuo Wang probably didn't fully fulfill his wish.
"That's right, I don't shy away from this point. Isn't it my own business to cut whoever was beaten in this life?" Zuo Wang Taoist didn't worry about who was who at this time, but in the end he was quite confused. Helplessly said: "It's a pity that cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness, and after some calculations, I made a wedding dress for someone else!"
"Let me guess, the person you're talking about now should be that arrogant brat!" the holographic image jokingly said.
The performance of that little boy is neither like the current Zuowang Taoist, nor does he look like a ghost king, so naturally he can only be pushed to the third personality.
Although, the little brat was summoning Yin soldiers and a palace of flesh and blood before.
However, with his rolling eyes, it was obvious that his body was controlled by the ghost king personality.
"Hehe, there is no way. The old man, the ghost king, and the little kid in your mouth can't meet each other. Naturally, there is no way to educate him." Zuo Wang Taoist didn't mind at all. He is a brat, and further explained: "It is precisely to prevent him from messing around, the old man set up two seals, so as not to open his eyes any time and see that Xuantianzong has disappeared."
"Although, you told us this, as if what the little brat and the ghost king did has nothing to do with you now. But, you are a trinity after all, don't care about the past and present, in the eyes of us others You are you. So, you still have to bear the punishment you deserve, or you can replace those two." The holographic image has nothing to ask, but it doesn't intend to just let Zao Wang Taoist go.
"What Fellow Daoist said is very true, and this old man also thinks that this... brat should be taught a lesson." Zuo Wang Taoist was just like criticizing others, and he didn't look like he was going to be punished at all.
"Okay, then I'll offend you!" The holographic image bowed and then disappeared in the white room.
Looking at the white room again, after only the Taoist sitting and forgetting was left, the lights suddenly began to change.
Lights of different colors flickered at a high speed with a special frequency, as if to blind people's eyes.
However, that Zuo Wang Taoist is a ray of soul, without the physical || vision of a normal person, it seems unlikely that he will be blinded.
However, as time passed, Taoist Zuo Wang began to feel dizzy, watching the flickering lights of various colors seem to gradually turn into white light again.
Then, Zuo Wang Taoist felt that the surrounding light suddenly stopped, and then quickly dimmed, revealing the scene covered by the light.
Then look at the Taoist Zuo Wang sitting cross-legged in the white room, the spirit who was originally a fairy-like spirit shrank and transformed into a little kid with a bun head.
"What kind of place is this!" the little kid shouted hysterically.
