Chapter 25 Chapter 24 The Salvation of the Soul

"Science is a good thing, but now..." It was the little lama who shook his head.Chu Feng was already used to his tender-faced and old-hearted appearance at this time, and he no longer made a fuss about it. "Now we have to talk about science!" Xilin replied unconvinced.They had already walked to the "ancient castle" on the top of the mountain, looking at the magical European-style ancient castle at the bottom of the mountain, but when they came up, it was completely different.I saw a huge mass of sandstone standing there like a monster with big head and small feet, no longer like an ancient castle, but a prehistoric monster with its mouth wide open.

Chu Feng and the others couldn't move anymore, so they found a dry place to rest under the sandstone.Bingbu's horse had already been let go to graze by himself at the foot of the mountain. He put a big leather bag on his back on his back, and hung a copper pot with a crooked mouth on his waist.Seeing that the little lama wanted to take a break at this time, he hurriedly went to light the fire, boiled a pot of hot buttered milk tea, poured fried noodles from the leather pocket, mixed them with butter, and made tsampa for the two lamas to eat. . Chu Feng already knew that these two lamas were Tibetans. Although they lived on the Bayinbulak prairie, their living habits were no different from Tibetans in Tibetan areas.But Bingbu didn't eat with them, and after they finished using up, he took the remaining half pot of milk tea to Chu Feng and the others. Their dinner was to roast the rabbit that Xilin had hunted.

After dinner, after the initial fatigue passed, the few of them chatted casually.The words that the little lama said on the road made Xilin a little bit unacceptable. Although the Xibe people's respect for shamans has no scientific basis, the education he received since childhood still made him feel harsh after hearing those words. "The current disasters for mankind are all brought about by the science you mentioned! If people continue to be obsessed with their obsession and continue to be so arrogant, destruction is close at hand!" The little lama didn't even raise his eyelids.

"You, you, you are talking nonsense!" Xilin was furious. He didn't like this little lama very much, not at all.The professor was obviously saved by him, and he has been very close to him since then, but since he first met this little lama, the professor has been wrong. Today, he chatted with the little lama in full swing. Xilin has a new kid's toy that was stolen by someone. Dissatisfied with the snatch. "You dare to be disrespectful to the master?" Bingbu didn't care about this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves when he saw Xilin accusing him of being the little living Buddha in his mind.

"He's right!" Seeing that Bingbu and Xilin were about to stage a full-scale martial arts performance, Chu Feng stood between the two of them and said this to Xilin, "Science itself is indeed a good thing, but to See how people use it, if it is used improperly or excessively, it will indeed bring about negative effects!" He first comforted Xilin, then gave the little lama a wink, and as soon as the little lama spoke, Bingbu immediately sat down. "It should be said that in the past two hundred years, human beings have indeed been overly complacent due to their rapid development in science and technology!" Chu Feng said with emotion, "Over the years, some scientists have said that the world operates according to such-and-such laws. Ridiculous!"

Xilin didn't understand Chu Feng's words. Unlike Bingbu, Bingbu didn't have any personal opinions on their conversation. He only absolutely believed that everything the Little Living Buddha said was correct.Xilin is at a critical age when his outlook on the world and life is taking shape, and he is curious enough about everything: "Professor, please speak more simply! Why can't I understand?" "You know the law of universal gravitation, right?" Seeing him nodding his head, Chu Feng continued, "The law of universal gravitation was summed up by Newton in nature. The operation of nature, unless there are special circumstances, will generally follow this law! Such natural laws have been summed up by scientists in recent decades. As a result, some people have put the cart before the horse! They no longer think that "the law is close to the track of natural movement", but that "nature is moving according to the law" Run'. This has led to the destruction of nature in many places due to the proliferation of science!"

"You might as well say that they think they have become gods! The world operates according to the 'laws' they invented, and everything that doesn't conform to the so-called 'laws', they will come up with a stick and denounce it as 'superstition and absurdity'. Hmph Arrogant guys, their actions have ushered in the warning of the real gods - those disasters!" The little lama added. "That's right. After the rapid development of science and technology, the transformation of human beings has naturally achieved more and more obvious effects and benefits. Many people really have less restraint in their hearts and more blind self-confidence. The result is very bad!" Chu Feng thought of many things. , especially genetically modified food, human cloning, etc., made him feel that what the little living Buddha said had some truth - people, or some people, just want to become "gods".

They want to create new species, life, and even humans. According to legend, the world, species, and humans are all created by gods. Isn’t this an addiction to “gods”? It's a pity that people are not gods after all, and the things they created have too many side effects, and now they seem to be reaping the consequences of themselves. "I still don't quite understand what you are talking about! However, I understand a little bit. Even if science is a good thing, it cannot be abused! Is this the case?" "That's right!" Chu Feng was very pleased to hear that he was able to find the key point at once, and reached out to pat his head.Then he turned his face to the little lama, "You are right, now is indeed an era of overflowing science, and we need to pay for our mistakes!"

"Do you know what era Zoroaster was from?" The little lama unexpectedly changed the subject and asked about Chu Feng's historical knowledge. This hit Chu Feng's muzzle: "6th century BC. What's the matter?" "Where are you Han Laozi and Confucius?" "Between the 6th century BC and the 5th century BC!" "Where is our supreme Buddha?" "About the 6th century B.C.... Hey, I understand!" Chu Feng now fully understood what the little lama wanted to say to himself, "You mean the big explosion of thought before B.C.?"

This is a period of more than 100 years that is very contrary to historical conventions. During those 100 years, Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism, Lao Tzu, the founder of Chinese Taoism, Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, and Socrates, the Greek philosopher, were born. The bottom, Pythagoras, the founder of "mathematics", Confucius, the founder of Chinese Confucianism, and even the prototype of the Jewish "Bible"-the legend of the Messiah also appeared at this time.This hundred years seems to be a bit crazy. A large number of philosophers, thinkers, and saints who are beyond the reach of future generations have been born. It seems that God intends to "wholesale" these people to the world.In this era, there is no one before, and there will be no one to come after, which makes a brilliant period of thought explosion appear in the history of mankind.

"Don't you think it's strange?" The little lama looked like an expert and scholar at the moment. "It's strange, everyone is surprised! Human history has written records, and now there are six thousand years, that is, sixty hundred years. In that one hundred years, a "big wholesale of ideas" appeared. Who is not surprised? Know some history Everyone will find it strange!" Chu Feng suddenly felt powerless when he said this.He is engaged in ancient writing, and is closely integrated with archaeology. Their greatest ideal and pursuit is to decipher these historical mysteries. Unfortunately, he does not seem to have this talent. Some things seem to be getting worse and more confusing by him! "You said it was an era of great explosion of ideas, but you never thought about what they did?" The little lama seemed to be a little persuasive. "What did they do? Most of them founded religions, or left their own theories." Chu Feng thought for a while and confirmed that there was nothing special about them. "You are still in the game, your eyes are blinded by the haze of so-called 'knowledge'!" The little lama pointed out sharply after a long sigh, "They are actually only doing one thing, and that is - to save human souls! " Being touched by him, Chu Feng suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and opened a door for himself with a "wow": "Save human souls?" He suddenly remembered that whether it is the reincarnation of Buddhism or the Taoism Immortal cultivation, Confucian self-cultivation and mind-cultivation, or Zoroastrianism’s judgment of good and evil, and Socrates’ penance, they all have one thing in common, which is to teach people not to value material enjoyment, but to value spiritual cultivation. For example: Buddhism advises people to do good deeds to accumulate virtue in order to seek the next life; Zoroastrianism has a dualism of good and evil, and there is a final judgment of good and evil. Those who do good will go to heaven, and those who do evil will go to hell.This one was finally absorbed by Christianity and became the famous "Doomsday Judgment".Here only Chinese Taoism does not seem to have too obvious a view of "good and evil".Thinking of this, Chu Feng felt something was wrong: "No, no, they are not just persuading people to be good! They, their most important thing is to persuade people to control their desires! Mainly material desires!" "That's right. The supreme Buddha is always our guiding light!" The little lama clasped his hands together, "All religions have only one purpose at the beginning, and that is to save the souls of all living beings! In fact, if the souls are to be saved, they only need to do a little bit. , that is, don’t slide into the abyss of desire, the end of desire is hell!” After figuring out that almost all the oldest religions are essentially persuading people to control their desires, a certain idea jumped out of Chu Feng's mind. For this idea, he almost blurted out a sentence, but he clung to it tightly. ,No!Not yet! "I, Ama, also said this sentence. He said that 'the endless desire can only lead people to destruction'. At that time, I was young and didn't understand what it meant. Listening to what you say now, it seems to be the truth! " Xilin said thoughtfully at the side. At that time, he was still young, and there was a big brother next door. Once he was hunting in Wusun Mountain not far from home, and accidentally picked up a treasure.Xilin didn't know what that treasure was, but they all called it "Wusun King's treasure", and it was very valuable. The money that the family exchanged for the treasure could actually build a new yard with green bricks and large tiles.After the house was built, he went to see it in secret. It was very beautiful. There was no such beautiful house in the whole village.However, the family had a funeral soon afterward—the big brother, one day after the house was built, went up to Mount Wusun by himself in spite of his family’s objections, to look for King Wusun’s treasure. His body was found days later. Xilin's Ama had just become the patriarch at that time, and he said this when he saw the young man's body.Although Xilin, who was only six or seven years old at the time, did not understand the meaning of this sentence, the great fear he felt when he saw the dead body for the first time made him remember all the scenes at that time and what Ama said. "That big brother lost his life because he couldn't control his desires, right?" He said it with certainty, which shows that he already had his own judgment in his heart. "Yes! If he stopped being greedy and went to Wusun Mountain, he shouldn't die!" Chu Feng thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. "No, in fact, as early as when he picked up that so-called 'treasure', the cause and effect had already unfolded, and he was doomed to die!" But the little lama said something different. "Why? If he didn't go to Wusun Mountain after the new house was built, how could he die?" Xilin was unconvinced again. "That thing can't be picked up, and if you pick it up, it's the root of the trouble." Chu Feng also thought at this time, "He picked up that so-called 'treasure' and went home, and exchanged it for money, and got the most beautiful new thing in the village. The house, how could he still hold back the desire in his heart? He who eats the marrow and knows the taste will definitely go to Wusun Mountain again, so the master said that the karma begins when he picks up the 'treasure', and from that moment, He has already fallen into the trap of desire without knowing it. It is almost certain to go to Wusun Mountain again!" "Ah, I remembered. At that time, I heard from the villagers that his family was against him going up to Wusun Mountain, but he still didn't listen, and went alone. We were going to go up to Wusun Mountain. It would take four or five people to accompany him, but he went up the mountain quietly alone. He was determined by the weights at that time!" Xilin recalled. "Sure enough! He was already in the quagmire of desire at that time!" Chu Feng looked at the little lama with a different look, his eyes brightened, "Master, there are temptations and traps everywhere in today's society. Master has a good way to save people." ?” "No!" The little lama still put his palms together, his eyelids drooping.Without moving his eyelids, he threw out such a word decisively, and Chu Feng was extremely disappointed for a moment. "Where is Ugin Veron? Can Ugin Veron save people's souls?" Chu Feng asked. "Only the purest souls of Ugyen Belon can enter. Once the unclean souls approach, it will disappear! Ugyen Belon is just a piece of pure land on earth discovered by Guru Rinpoche for us. It is different from the Paradise of Paradise in the Western Paradise. It is in the In the world, mortals can enter the world when they are alive without waiting for death, and live a carefree and happy life in it. However, it cannot save the soul full of material desires in the heart. Only by devoutly believing in the existence of Ugin Veron, And only those with good intentions can enter it and be saved." The little lama didn't think there was any harm in confessing Ugin Belon's shortcomings.Although it is said to be a pure land, it does not have the function of purifying people's souls, but can only limit the qualifications of those who enter it, that is, unclean souls are not allowed to enter. "Since it is useless, the wisdom of the Guru is by no means the kind of person who only cares about entering the paradise for himself and allows believers to suffer. It is also impossible to be greedy for the treasure of Guru Rinpoche. Why are you so eager and eager to find this pure land on earth with us? What about it?" Chu Feng fixed his eyes on the little lama. At this moment, the little lama raised his head, opened his eyes, and looked straight at the bottom of Chu Feng's heart with those big clear eyes: "Ugin Peron will bring good luck to our believers in this world, but I am meditating." "Seeing" unclean souls approaching, this is absolutely not allowed. Once they approach a certain range, Ugin Veron will disappear and reappear next time. They went to look for it together. Right now, only if we rush ahead and drive away those unclean souls, can we keep Ugin Veron's fortune in this world. This fortune is very important to the people on this grassland!" As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly became very ugly, "Not good! Those souls are extremely close, and we are going to be too late!"
