Chapter 1478 Different Paths!
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Zhi slowly stood up, bowed to Murong Xingshuang, then turned and left the room.
Faced with Bai Zhi's behavior, Murong Xingshuang neither stopped him nor tried to keep him. She just looked at him quietly.
......
early morning.
The first ray of sunshine fell on the earth.
Bai Zhi, dressed in a monk's robe, sat quietly in a secluded place and meditated.
The early morning sunlight filled the entire Luoyang city, but it could not reach Baizhi hiding in the corner.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"Why is the famous Buddhist disciple Bai Zhi hiding here?"
"If you can't even save a little Luoyang courtesan, how can you save the lives of all the people in this world?"
Wang Hao's voice sounded, Bai Zhi looked up at Wang Hao and said.
"Do you also think that I am wrong?"
"Yes!"
"What do you think, benefactor?"
Facing Bai Zhi's question, Wang Hao sat next to Bai Zhi and said, "Little bald head, you and that old bald head have always wanted to convert us, the master and the disciple."
"To put it bluntly, we are your other side."
“Sometimes you can’t see yourself clearly because you’re not looking in the mirror.”
"Whether it's Buddhism or Taoism, all of you so-called decent sects are teaching people to be good."
"But have you ever thought that 'good' itself is something that does not exist?"
“The same thing can be good or evil in different circumstances.”
"If you persist in pursuing good and evil, you will only end up going astray."
"In my opinion, the only way to free sentient beings from suffering is to pursue the path of 'self'."
Listening to Wang Hao's words, Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "May I ask, benefactor, what is 'self'?"
"The 'self' is actually very simple. It is the most primitive need deep in the heart of all living beings."
"Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are tired, drink water when you are thirsty. This is the 'self'."
"All thoughts of the 'self' are innate to all living beings. You righteous people suppress the 'self' everywhere, so your life is never happy."
Facing Wang Hao's words, Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "If the world was full of people like the donor, wouldn't this world become purgatory?"
"The world is hell!"
Wang Hao refuted Bai Zhi's words and said seriously: "Your so-called dogma and etiquette have bound everyone."
"Murong Xingshuang is the biggest victim under your rules."
"She doesn't want fame, wealth, or even immortality."
"All she wants is someone who loves her wholeheartedly."
"You could have given her these things, but you were bound by worldly dogmas, and that's why you couldn't save her."
"Also, in the pursuit of my true self, I have indeed gone too far, but that doesn't mean everyone has to be like me."
"The seven emotions and six desires are the essence of human beings. Why do you always suppress them?"
"By suppressing the so-called seven emotions and six desires, what else can you gain besides suffering?"
Listening to Wang Hao's long speech, Bai Zhi just recited Buddhist scriptures silently.
However, his hand that was moving the rosary beads was already shaking slightly.
Seeing this, Wang Hao sighed and said, "Prejudice in people's hearts is as big as a mountain. No matter how much I say, it won't change your opinion of me."
"I may lie, but the truth won't."
"Murong Xingshuang is not far away, Luoyang City is at your feet, and the world is in front of you."
"If you can't save Murong Xingshuang, you naturally can't save the people of the world either."
"Sometimes I really can't understand, are you trying to save people, or are you trying to make everyone in the world bald?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hao disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, the old monk also appeared in front of Bai Zhi.
Looking at the old monk in front of him, Bai Zhi said softly: "Teacher, I don't understand."
"What don't you understand?"
"Buddhist disciples are here to save the world. Are we here to spread the Dharma or to guide people to be good?"
"As Buddhist disciples, we should take it as our responsibility to save the world and spread Buddhism so that more people can escape from the sea of suffering."
"Since we are saving the world and saving people, can we not use the Dharma?"
"Can't!"
"why?"
Bai Zhi's eyes were full of confusion, but the old monk just said calmly: "Because you are a disciple of Buddhism."
“But can Buddhism really solve all problems?”
"Buddhism can naturally save everyone. The reason you cannot save everyone is because you have not understood the true meaning of Buddhism."
"Baizhi, you have to remember that Buddhism is not the Buddhism of one person."
"The Mahayana Buddhism that can truly save the world was realized by countless living Buddhas."
"Without the efforts of so many Buddhist disciples, there would be no Buddhist country today."
"You are a latecomer, and you are also a latecomer in the eyes of others."
"If you give up right now, when will the world ever reach the other side?"
After listening to the old monk's words, Bai Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Teacher's teachings, I understand."
Seeing this, the old monk nodded slightly, then slowly disappeared.
After the old monk disappeared, Bai Zhi continued to meditate.
Time passed little by little, and the sun finally shone on Baizhi.
At the same time, a big hand pressed on Baizhi's head.
"I haven't touched a bald head for a long time, and it still feels so good."
Chen Changsheng's voice sounded, and Bai Zhi clasped her hands together and said, "Donor Changsheng, it is very impolite to touch someone else's head."
"I know, just touch it casually, don't be so stingy."
"I just had something to do, so I'm a little late."
"Isn't what they said ruining your heart?"
Hearing this, Bai Zhi looked up at Chen Changsheng and said, "Are you using us as a bet, benefactor?"
"Yes!"
"We old guys all have our own ways, and we've been fighting for a while."
"But unfortunately, we didn't really determine the winner."
"Now that a great catastrophe is about to come upon mankind, many things will change."
"In order to decide who is the better of us, we have no choice but to use you little kids as pawns."
After receiving this answer, Bai Zhi lowered her head slightly and said, "If this is the case, then the forbidden land is doomed to fail."
"uncertain!"
“Many things in this world can be locked up, but the human heart cannot be locked up.”
"Because no matter what method you use, that unwilling heart will always pop out."
"From the current situation, the Forbidden Land has a better chance of winning."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Because the path you are taking is actually the same as the forbidden area."
"Wang Hao asked you to pursue your 'self', and your master asked you to pursue your 'ego'."
"Although your path seems different from that of the Forbidden Land, in essence, the Forbidden Land is also pursuing 'self'."
"So the forbidden land can never be destroyed, because you are the forbidden land of the future!"
