"From what you're saying, could it be that your Zen Sect has something to do with the Original Sin?"
Perhaps Gu Qingfeng was tired from sitting, so he stood up and stretched his neck to stretch his muscles.
"Hehe."
Monk Daxing drank another cup of wine and rubbed his bald head. He grinned and said, "Let me ask you, what is the relationship between original sin and karma? Do you know?"
"I heard from that little girl Ancient Wuming that it is precisely the existence of Original Sin that leads to the fall of fate. Karma is chaotic, all evil is caused by the chaos of karma. The reason why Original Sin is Original Sin is because of this. It is the source of evil, the origin of evil."
"Not bad, not bad. You are worth teaching. Looks like you didn't meet Ancient Nameless for nothing. Then let me ask you again, what is the relationship between karma and Buddhism?"
"I don't know what the relationship between karma and Buddhism is. I only know that the existence of karma comes from Buddhism."
"That's it then."
Monk Daxing shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "Original sin leads to the chaos of karma and karma comes from Buddhism. Do I need to explain the relationship between original sin and Buddhism? Of course, if you ask me what the relationship between original sin and Buddhism is, I can tell you that I don't know either. The only thing I know is that original sin and Buddhism are related in some way. "
Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. He said, "What you said makes sense."
"Nonsense, of course it makes sense. I can also tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
"Do you know when our Zen Sect began to decline? Let me tell you, it started in the Primordial Age. "
Hearing about the Primordial Age, Gu Qingfeng's interest was piqued. He asked, "So the relic of your Zen Sect is the Primordial Age?"
"That's right." "You should know that after the end of the Daoless Era, another Desolate Era began. This era was very short and ended not long after it began. I wonder if Ancient Nameless told you about a terrifying event that happened in the Desolate Era." Daxing Mad Monk said while poking his head out.
"Ancient Nameless only said that there were many Original Sinners in the Primordial Era, and many of them were Original Sinners. However, these Original Sinners were either annihilated, banished to the End, or fell into the Wasteland. Some even escaped to Hell, the Abyss, and so on …"
Gu Qingfeng recalled the words of the Ancient One Nameless and said, "As for the terrifying things that happened during the Desolate Era, she didn't mention them."
"It's good that she didn't say it. It's not that she didn't want to say it. Maybe she didn't know, or maybe she forgot …"
"Do you know what happened in the Primordial Era?"
Mad Monk Daxing shook his head like a rattle-drum: "Even Nameless Immemorial doesn't know, how would I know?"
"Do you really not know? Or are you just pretending like Ancient Wuming?"
"I don't know if Ancient Nameless is pretending or not, but I really don't know."
"I only know that a terrible disaster happened in the Primordial Age. Not only did many of the original sinners perish, but the ancestors of the Great Path, such as the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperials of the Immortal Dao, the Five Wisdom Kings of the Buddhist Dao, the Buddha Lord, Guan Yin, the Burning Lamp Ancestor of the Zen Sect, the Father of Heaven and Mother Earth, the Ancestor of the Human Dao, Fuxi, the Mother of Nature, Goddess Nüwa, and so on. All the ancestors of the Great Path that you can name, without exception, all perished in the Primordial Age."
Mad Monk Daxing pointed at Gu Qingfeng: "The progenitors of the nine heavens, nine underworlds, hell, and heaven, including the Avici Infernal Asura on your body and the forbidden incarnation of the Yellow Springs. They all died during the Desolate Era."
"Is that so?"
Gu Qingfeng was shocked. This was the first time he heard of such a thing. He asked: "What do you mean by 'died'? Are they dead? That's impossible, those existences have already transcended life and death. "
"Of course, not only did they transcend life and death, but … How should I put it? I don't know. Their existences are beyond our imagination."
Gu Qingfeng asked: "Everything in the Immemorial Era is coming back to life. Will they come back to life?"
"What do you think?" Mad Monk Daxing didn't answer.
"Why would I ask you if I knew?"
"Kid, you look smart but why are you so stupid now? If they could come back to life, they would have done so long ago. Ten thousand years have passed since the Immemorial Era and many ruins from the Desolate Era have appeared. Have you heard of the Three Purities and Four Imperials, Fuxi and Nüwa coming back to life?"
Gu Qingfeng thought about it carefully. Indeed, he hadn't.
"Others may not know, but you should know better. Think about it, the Evil Asura of Avici and the Yellow Springs of Heaven and Earth. These two existences are extremely terrifying. If they were to come back to life, which one of them would be able to fuse with your soul? Which one of them would be able to fuse with your soul? "
Gu Qingfeng opened his mouth but shook his head. He was speechless at Mad Monk Daxing's words.
"Then what do you mean by 'died'?"
"You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?" Mad Monk Daxing raised his wine cup and said: "But one thing is for sure. The terrible things that happened in the Desolate Era are most likely related to the Original Sin."
"What do you mean? What are you basing this conclusion on? "
"I don't have any basis. It's just my own guess."
"Great!" Gu Qingfeng said with a playful smile: "Why do I feel like you're the one who's saying all this? You're not trying to set me up again, are you?"
"You brat … really …!"
Mad Monk Daxing pointed at Gu Qingfeng, his expression as speechless as it could be. "Forget it. Just take it that I'm setting you up. You can think whatever you want. Really, I'm trying to help you out of the kindness of my heart. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but you're doubting my good intentions!"
"It's just a joke."
Although Gu Qingfeng said so, he didn't think so in his heart.
He did not believe in Deranged Monk Daxing. He had never believed in him, just like how he had never believed in Nameless Immemorial. His intuition told him that Deranged Monk Daxing and Nameless Immemorial were the same kind of people. The only difference was that Nameless Immemorial might know a lot of things, but that little girl would not say it out loud. Deranged Monk Daxing also knew a lot of things, but this old bald donkey liked to play dumb and was especially good at mystifying things. It was hard to tell what was real and what was fake.
It was really tiring to deal with these people and play mind games.
