My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy! -
Chapter 652 - 412: Escape into the Empty Door
Chapter 652: Chapter 412: Escape into the Empty Door
Meng Lang looked at the autobiography on the table, and the image of a man laughing wildly in a sea of flames emerged in his mind, as if he were seeing his own future...
[When flowers bloom, two faces meet, between human, Buddha, and demon...
Human nature has two faces.
The Buddha said, "Be kind," I want to use compassion to ferry all beings so they can be reborn in Nirvana and accompany me.
The demon said, "Be evil," I want to use charm to annihilate all beings so they can fall into the Avici Hell and serve me.
You are very conflicted, not knowing whom you should listen to.
Your question is your heart, and my answer is my heart.
Everywhere is your own heart; everywhere is your original Buddha; the mind itself is the Buddha, and so it is...]
Some religious ideas in the Huayan Sutra reflect Xue Huaiyi’s reflections and enlightenment about life’s conclusion.
The copy of the Huayan Sutra in the Buddha head, transcribed by the empress, is not a traditional scripture.
It was an ancient person who got this autobiography, trying to understand this "Heavenly Book" in his hands through religious concepts such as "Heart Demon," "reincarnation," "a flower is a world, a leaf is a bodhi," and so forth.
And Xue Huaiyi becoming a monk midway through his life was not just to get stronger from being bald, but rather to save himself...
After all, a thousand years ago, there was no CT, MRI, EEG, nor the myriad of psychiatric drugs that heal one from "splitting" to "healing"...
To solve his own "prematurely fragmented" mental issues, he could only use magic to defeat magic, starting from a spiritual level.
The choice to study Buddhism was also historically rooted, not just a frantic rush to treatment.
Today’s people study the ancients, ancients studied even more ancient figures.
A thousand years later, Meng Lang studied his "predecessors," just as a thousand years before, Xue Huaiyi studied the "predecessors" of his "predecessors."
The goal was merely to obtain some "operational experience" from this book from the "predecessors."...
Prior to Xue Huaiyi, those who had received this book were precisely two high monks!
If one speaks of the love and hate between this book and "Central Earth Buddhism," one has to mention the later historical chronicles concerning this book...
...
According to the archaeological findings of Mr. Xue,
Before the Eastern Han, as the knowledge system and productivity were relatively primitive, humans still maintained a reverence for Nature.
Including the legends of the Heavenly Books like the "He Tu," "Luo Shu," "Taigong Yin Symbol," "Peace Skill," most of which gave rise to Taoist scriptures.
For instance, the famous Yi Jing, the Inner Canon of Huangdi, and also Taiji, Eight Diagrams, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, destiny and divination...
More of what circulated about this book were the rather mysterious Taoist myths and legends.
After the late Three Kingdoms period, this book had long disappeared.
What followed was the chaos of the Eight Princes during the Western Jin, the chaos of the five Barbarians overturning Huaxia, which left Huaxia Land in turmoil for hundreds of years, until the Southern and Northern Dynasties when this book finally reappeared...
That’s right... the one who got it was none other than the "Zen Master" Dharma!
Dharma was not interested in military strategy, economics, or politics, but immersed himself in studying the human body’s secrets...
After dwelling in a cave for nine years, his force value almost reached the human peak, becoming the first person in a millennium to master internal energy!
From his ability to cross rivers on a reed, one could see his innate grasp of fluid Mechanics...
Later in life, Dharma also had a story about "only striding westward"...
This might have been the only time, a part of this book’s remnants left Shen Zhou and fell into the hands of an alien race!
That’s right, just a remnant!
In Dharma’s hands was precisely the "Human Scroll" of the "Peace Skill" that Hua Tuo had obtained!
According to historical records, Hua Tuo died in prison because he had offended Cao Cao, passing the Qing Nang Sutra to a prison guard before his death, an unfortunate loss thereafter.
If the archaeology studied by Comrade Xue Huaiyi isn’t all fluff, then this "Heavenly Book" might really have been split into two in history!
Zhuge Kongming obtained the "Heaven and Earth" scrolls, knowing everything under Heaven, calculating the times and the advantages of the Earth.
While Hua Tuo and Dharma got the "Human Scroll," mastering martial arts, medical skills, and the human body’s secrets...
Looking at these divisions of functions, Meng Lang had reason to guess that this so-called "Human Scroll" might just be the "technical appendix" included at the end of each autobiography!
After all, dying in jail due to making enemies, is just too inconsistent for a "Prophet’s" character setup.
This only indicates that Hua Tuo at least lost most of his prophetic skills.
According to Xue Huaiyi, this "Human Scroll" roamed to the Western Regions during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
But could the legitimate owners of the "Heaven and Earth" scrolls from Huaxia simply let it go?
Of course not!
Hence, at the beginning of the Great Tang, the magnificent "Journey to the West" commenced...
Yes... Tang Xuanzang went to the western regions to fetch the scriptures.
The real target... was actually the Qing Nang Sutra!
As everyone knows the result,
As the new generation owner of the "Heaven and Earth" scrolls, Tang Xuanzang, with his hacked intelligence capability, overcame numerous difficulties and traveled thousands of miles from Chang’an to Nalanda Monastery, finally retrieving the Heavenly Book’s "Human Scroll"!
Two scrolls against one, obviously Master Xuanzang’s side had bigger hacks...
However, the "ninety-nine difficulties" might just be a rhetorical flourish in literature, it’s estimated that the sacrificed "Master Xuanzang" could not even accumulate to double figures...
"This Master Wu Chengen... couldn’t possibly be another insider, could he?"
Meng Lang couldn’t help but speculate wildly.
After all, the book "Journey to the West," whether it’s the title or many of its settings and descriptions, made it hard not to provoke speculations from Meng Lang...
