Looking up at the sacred mountain, the Buddha's light is vast and illuminates all living beings.
Everything here is so peaceful and tranquil.
There is no distinction between class, rich and poor.
The only thing that looks down on you is the long ladder leading to the top of your body.
Winding up, straight into the clouds.
The Qin River rises step by step, overlooking the city and fields. The river meanders nearby, the distant mountains are like ink, and white clouds are floating. It is a beautiful sight that makes people feel all the anxiety in their hearts disappear, and feel extremely peaceful and comfortable.
On the way to the summit, Qin He saw countless pilgrims.
There were white-haired old men and young children who were still childish. They were a little serious and climbed up slowly in the pilgrim posture, kneeling every three steps.
In comparison, Qin He is actually different.
Half an hour later, Qin He reached the summit of the sacred mountain. A monk came forward and said respectfully, "The attendant of Lingshan respectfully welcomes the Immortal of the Great Realm. Our Buddha has been waiting for a long time."
"Please lead the way." Qin He was not surprised.
"Please follow me." The monk guided Qin He step by step towards the magnificent Buddhist temple.
A moment later, Qin He saw the evil spirit in the Buddhist temple... No, strictly speaking, it is now a big Buddha, at least to the believers in this world, it is.
"You are very strong." Above the Buddhist temple, a huge Buddha with a solemn appearance and surrounded by Buddha's light spoke.
It was three meters tall, with kind eyes. It looked at Qin He and said, "You are very strong," without any intention of hiding anything.
Qin He looked at it and asked, "Did you know I was coming?"
"Yes." The Buddha nodded.
"How did you know that?"
"prophecy."
"Whose prophecy?" Qin He's eyelids twitched slightly.
"I don't know." The Buddha shook his head and continued, "It is said that when the Dharma is at its end, a man riding a bull will put an end to this world. You didn't ride a bull, but when the Heaven Palace fell, I assumed it was you."
Qin He sighed softly. He saw another prophecy, one about himself. However, he no longer wanted to delve into this meaningless prophecy. Instead, he asked, "Are you an evil spirit?"
"You think I am an evil spirit, so I am. You think I am a Buddha, so am I. If the mind can transform things, then it is the same as Tathagata." The Buddha said slowly, and at the end he said a verse.
"You created a Buddhist country, why don't you continue to perform? Maybe if you try harder, I will recognize you as a Buddha. I only kill evil spirits, and if I were a Buddha, I would probably treat you with courtesy." Qin He asked curiously.
Everything here suggested to him that this was a perfect world.
A world illuminated by the holy Buddha, a paradise on earth.
However, when it came before the Buddha, it did not hide its identity at all.
There are no Buddhist names such as "Amitabha", "Donor", "Mercy", etc., just "I" and "You" directly.
Really strange.
"I've tried, you know." The Buddha said very frankly.
Qin He nodded. The aura of this world was not evil, but it had been invading his heart.
Let him let go of his guard and identify with this world, and even join this "paradise"-like world and live out the rest of his life.
Everyone yearns for a paradise world, and when it is right in front of you, there is no reason to resist.
This invasion is not preaching, but a subtle influence that lasts for three days, from every blade of grass and every tree here, from every frown and smile of the people here.
If Qin He had not maintained his original intention with his virtuous soul and body, he would have perished long ago.
But no matter what, the Buddha's direct admission of the nature of "evil spirit" undoubtedly means giving up his last effort.
"So, are you planning to surrender or resist again?" Qin He asked.
"God is merciful and benevolent. Although we are not in the Five Elements or in the cycle of reincarnation, we also have the desire to survive. Naturally... we have to resist." said the Big Buddha.
"You are the most honest evil spirit I have ever seen." Qin He praised. If it just sat there motionless and looked like it was letting you burn it, it would feel like something was missing. It would be perfect to resist for a while.
At the same time, Qin He's words were sincere.
The ones I met before were all cunning and treacherous, using any means possible to deceive people.
This is really special.
"Go ahead, I'll let you have a move." Qin He said.
"I am not your opponent, so I won't fight with you." The big Buddha shook his head.
"Then...how do you resist?"
The Buddha stared at Qin He and said slowly, "I want to discuss the Dao with you."
"Discussing the Dao?" Qin He was slightly surprised.
"Yes, after discussing the Dao, whether we win or lose, it's all up to you." The big Buddha said again.
"You want to turn over?"
"Yes."
"Okay, as long as you can convince me." Qin He pondered for a moment and agreed.
"Then I dare to ask the Immortal, is my Buddhist kingdom perfect?"
"It seems perfect, but it's not." Qin He shook his head.
"You don't believe this world is real? Or do you think it's an illusion?"
"It's not what I saw that I didn't believe, but what I didn't see."
"for example?"
"human nature."
"Human nature?" The Buddha frowned slightly.
"I don't believe in greed and laziness in human nature." Qin He smiled slightly and said, "In your world, farmers work hard, merchants run their businesses honestly, and young people study hard, but there are no people who maintain order. This is completely unreasonable."
"Then..." The big Buddha gestured to Qin He to continue.
"And then there's money circulating in your world. Once money circulates, it creates ripples like water, high in some places, low in others, uneven in thickness. Those who possess a lot of wealth, even just a little bit, will find ways to make things easier for themselves, like buying more land, hiring others to farm, or buying more livestock, either renting or selling them."
“Farming is inherently hard work. If one can escape this hardship in other ways, no one will refuse to do it.”
"There are also problems with young people studying. In your world, there are no strict hierarchies. What is the purpose of studying? Just to study Buddhism? Or to pass the time?"
"Wouldn't it be better to just lie down at home or help your parents with farm work?"
"Business is even more so. No businessman is immune to the desire for huge profits. Without those who maintain order, their greed will be even more blatant."
"In short, in your world of cultivation, there is no such thing as 'equality'. Even if there is, it is only temporary."
"Ninety-nine percent of the hard work done by farmers is just to make life better for the few who remain."
"So the logic that runs your world is wrong."
"Unless... you eliminate the greed and laziness in their nature."
At the end of his words, Qin He showed a victorious smile on his face.
On the Road?
I'm sorry, there are theories about countless "powerful" minds traveling through that life, but yours has a lot of loopholes.
But Qin He also felt a glimmer of hope.
I have to say that this evil spirit is really interesting. It is actually evolving and exploring a kind of order. Regardless of its motives, this behavior alone really makes Qin He curious.
If its "Tao" is revealed in just a few simple sentences, it will become boring.
However, the Buddha obviously did not stop there. Its next sentence made Qin He frown.
It nodded and said, "Your Excellency, you have a keen eye. I have indeed used the Dharma to suppress their laziness and greed, and at the same time, extinguished all the forces of cultivation. But I ask you, what's wrong with building a perfect world at the cost of human greed and laziness?"
"Or in other words, isn't it normal for individuals to sacrifice and restrain some bad qualities in order to build a perfect world?"
