The old monk remained silent for a long time before he spoke slowly.
"Legend has it that when Supreme Dao Sovereign Wu Dao disappeared, he turned into three thousand illusory selves …"
The old monk's voice was heard. It was less solemn and less respectful, but there were more complicated emotions in it.
Gu Qingfeng frowned and asked softly, "What is the false self?"
"Unseeable, unspeakable, unthinkable, unspeakable, unspeakable, neither true nor false, neither illusory nor real, neither mysterious nor wondrous. True and false, false and true, mysterious and wondrous."
"This … Old monk, you see, I'm already confused. My eyesight isn't very good, my brain isn't very bright, and my comprehension has become very slow. What you're saying is like a heavenly book to me. I really don't understand. Can you make it simpler?"
The old monk only sighed and did not explain too much to Gu Qingfeng.
"Alright, if you don't want to tell me, then so be it. But …" Gu Qingfeng said helplessly, "Where did I go in the end?"
"All will be born for their sins."
"Born from sin?"
After hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng's heart couldn't help but thump because he himself was born from the original sin. With this in mind, he asked: "In that case, my existence is one of the three thousand false selves that Supreme Daoless turned into back then?"
"Not just Layman Gu, but anyone who was born from the original sin could be one of the three thousand false selves of Supreme Dao Sovereign."
What a guy!
This was incredible.
He was actually a false self of Supreme Dao Master Wu Dao?
And anyone who was born for sin could be one of them?
What the f * ck is this fake self?
Gu Qingfeng thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He looked at the illusory Nirvana Mountain and asked, "What is the relationship between my illusory self and Supreme Venerable Wu Dao? Is it a past life or present life? "
"It's the past and present life, but it's also not. It's more about karma."
"What do you mean?"
"Because the false self contains too many selves, no self, self, true self, true self …"
After listening to the old monk's words, Gu Qingfeng seemed to understand a little.
The so-called illusory self could be said to exist, yet it did not. It could be said to be real, yet it was also fake. It was like a mysterious and unknown mass of chaos. The chaos would change according to karma. As for what it would become in the end, that would depend on karma.
In other words.
Right now, the illusory self and Supreme Dao Master Wudao might not be the previous life, but with the change of karma, the three thousand illusory selves might become non-self, self, true self, and true self. At that time, the relationship with Supreme Dao Master Wudao would not be as simple as karma. It would become the previous life and the current life. In the end, it might even become Supreme Dao Master Wudao!
"The so-called past life and present life, how much karma, how much unreality, how much non-self, how much ego, how much true self, how much true self … So that's how it is."
Gu Qingfeng muttered. Suddenly, he thought of the Original Sin.
The original sin had incarnations, Sambhogakaya, Dharmakaya, and the real body.
Looking at it now, the so-called Original Sin Body was exactly the same as Supreme Dao Master Wudao's illusory self.
The Original Sin Body was like Supreme Dao Master Wudao's illusory self.
The illusory self, true and false, it was not true self.
Similarly, the Original Sin Body was the same. True and false, it was called the Original Sin, but it was not the Original Sin.
The illusory self would change according to karma. The Original Sin Body was the same.
The illusory self was the non-self.
After the Original Sin Body became an incarnation, he would no longer be his former self, but the incarnation of the Original Sin. This was like the non-self of the illusory self.
As for the incarnation of the Original Sin, it would change from karma to retribution. Wasn't this the process of the illusory self coming from nothing according to the changes of karma? It was also the birth of self from non-self.
After the Sambhogakaya, it was the Original Sin Dharmakaya.
The Dharmakaya was the original source. The incarnation and Sambhogakaya were both formed by the Dharmakaya. This was the self in the illusory self.
As for the Original Sin Body, it was probably the true self in the illusory self.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingfeng could not help but feel a little frightened.
Even though he was still not sure what kind of relationship he had with the Original Sin.
However.
From the current signs, especially after he ignited the Original Sin back then, he had awakened the dormant Original Sin.
If that was the case.
Gu Qingfeng thought that the current him was most likely not the incarnation of the Original Sin, nor the Sambhogakaya, but the Original Sin Dharmakaya!
If that was the case, wouldn't it be like the true self in the illusory self?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Especially now that he was confused, it was not that he could not transcend himself, but that he could not recognize himself.
Perhaps the reason why he could not recognize himself was that he did not know which was the original him or the true self.
Damn it!
If that was the case, then this matter was serious.
At this moment, the old monk's voice sounded again, "Don't worry, Ancient Practitioner."
"Worry about what?" Gu Qingfeng thought carefully and asked, "Old monk, do you know what I'm worried about?"
"I can tell you with certainty that Supreme Dao Master Wudao and the Original Sin are not the same existence."
"What do you mean?" Looking at the illusory Nirvana Mountain, Gu Qingfeng asked, "Are you saying that Supreme Dao Master Wudao and the Original Sin are not the same thing?"
"Amitabha." The old monk replied, "Supreme Dao Master Wudao is the Original Sin, but the Original Sin is not Supreme Dao Master Wudao. There is only karma between Supreme Dao Master Wudao and the Original Sin, they are not the same existence."
"In the legends, didn't Supreme Dao Master Wudao eventually turned into the Original Sin Origin, known as the Original Sin Ancestor?"
"It's just a legend, it can't be taken seriously."
"If Supreme Dao Master Wudao is not the Original Sin Ancestor, then where did the Original Sin Origin come from? Why is it related to Supreme Dao Master Wudao? "
"I don't know."
"Aren't you from the Wudao Era? How come you don't even know this? Do you not know, or do you not want to say? "
"I really don't know."
Gu Qingfeng didn't know whether the old monk really didn't know or didn't want to say. He didn't continue to ask. After interacting with the old monk for so long, he knew very well that even if the old monk really knew and didn't want to say, he couldn't do anything about it. He asked again.
"When Supreme Dao Master Wudao disappeared, why did he turn into three thousand false selves?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know again."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "However, old monk, when you said that I don't need to worry, you were purposely teasing me, right? If Supreme Dao Master Wudao and the Original Sin are the same thing, it's already very scary, but if Supreme Dao Master Wudao and the Original Sin are not the same thing, then it's even scarier. "
"Why?"
"Do you still need to ask why?" Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "I always thought that I could be free as long as I got rid of the Original Sin, but now you're telling me that I'm not only a Original Sin, but also a false self. In other words, I'm not only facing the Original Sin, but also Supreme Dao Master Wudao."
