Chapter 23 The Differences Between Monks(1/2)
Although Dimarco's experience has shown that the "Hall of Stars" appeared for a period of time after the destruction of the old world, the statement of pure thought is still quite valuable.
First, this confirms that the destruction of the old world brought about a group of human awakening, or, while the "heartless disease" broke out, a few people were awakened, such as Dimarco, such as some people in the "Monsters' Order";
Secondly, Jingmian mentioned that with the emergence of the "Star Hall", the difficulty of awakening became less.
This is obviously not a random word, there must be corresponding evidence.
Jiang Baimian could even guess why Jing Nian said so:
The group of people who had never awakened before in the "Monks' Clan" were awakened one after another after the "Star Hall".
"That's it." Shang Jianyao suddenly realized it, then looked disappointed, "When I woke up, I already had the 'star hall', and I couldn't even challenge the highest difficulty."
Then, he asked curiously:
"Zen Master, I know that many people in your sect upload consciousness after they awaken and become mechanical monks. So, are there any original 'eternal people' awakened?"
The red light in Jingnian's eye socket flashed a few times:
“There are, but few, in terms of proportion, significantly lower than the non-'immortals'..”
"Why?" Shang Jianyao looked like he wanted to stand up for the mechanical monk.
The neck made of Jingnian Metal turned left and right, indicating that he didn't know the reason.
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:
“What is the difference between the awakening of the ‘Eternal Man’ and the awakening of the ordinary man?”
"No." Jingmin answered without hesitation.
Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds and said:
“Are there any other changes?”
The red light in the mechanical monk's eyes instantly became much stronger.
After a while, he replied:
"The monks who only awaken after uploading consciousness will experience a certain degree of disorder when they wake up, and it will take dozens of minutes to re-adapt."
"Why is this?" Shang Jianyao expressed the thoughts of everyone present.
"We are not clear about it, and we have been doing corresponding research." Jingmin said, and lowered the Buddha's name, "Namo Aphratara Samyaksambodhi."
Monks are studying chips and bodies? As folk scholars who have a good understanding of the old world, Jiang Baimian always finds such a thing quite absurd.
But looking at the tall and strong body of pure thoughts and black metal, she felt that this seemed to be natural.
"Shouldn't you study Buddhism every day?" asked the honest Zen Master Shang Jianyaodai Pudu.
The mechanical monk Jingnian replied in a synthesized voice:
"A large number of people in the church were researchers who participated in the "Eternal Life" project. In addition to studying Buddhism, they also found something else for themselves to do to make their long life full."
Hearing this, Long Yuehong couldn't help but ask:
“After uploading consciousness, can you really live forever?
"Without considering that there are still defects in this technology, it will cause serious mental problems."
Pure thoughts remained silent.
Long Yuehong was embarrassed:
"If this involves the secrets of your sect, just pretend I didn't ask."
It is not easy to catch a mechanical monk who can communicate with him. He inevitably wants to confirm whether the news that was widely circulated on the dust and written into the "Pangu Biology" textbook is true.
——The Pure Dharma encountered by the "Old Tutoring Group" before obviously cannot discuss this issue calmly with them.
The mechanical monk said slowly:
"It's not just mental problems, we later discovered that as the number of uploads increases, the corresponding consciousness will weaken, and the passage of time will also bring about similar changes.
"Those researchers have been working hard to find reasons for decades to improve the 'eternal human' technology, but no matter what, the 'eternal human' life is several times, or even dozens of times that of normal humans. There is enough time for us to comprehend the Dharma, practice ourselves, attain fruit, and achieve transcendence."
This corresponds to the rumor that the "Eternal Man" technology is far from mature enough... Jiang Baimian nodded invisibly.
Xu Liyan next to him was moved by his heart.
He plans to wait until he has enjoyed the prosperity of the world. After he is over fifty, he will upload his consciousness and become an "eternal person".
Of course, Pure Thoughts also told him that when a person's consciousness begins to decline, the "eternal human" technology has certain dangers and failure rates.
That's why Xu Liyan didn't think about uploading consciousness until the seventies and eighties.
It was not until this time that Shang Jianyao seemed to find that the mechanical monk Jing Nian had a question about the earliest answer:
"Zen Master, why does it become less difficult to awaken with the ‘Hall of Stars’?"
"We have many examples in this regard." Jingnian only talks about the conclusions, not the specifics.
Shang Jianyao tried hard to defend himself:
“I mean, why does the ‘Hall of Stars’ bring about a reduction in the difficulty of awakening?”
"This is because of my Buddha's compassion." The mechanical monk wearing a yellow monk's robe and wearing a red cassock clasped his hands together and said devoutly, "'The Hall of Stars','Sea of Origin','The Corridor of Mind' is the convenient door created by the Tathagata of the World and the Bodhi of the Buddha to save all sentient beings and guide all spirits. It is a path that escapes the sea of suffering and points directly to the Pure Land of Bliss."
"Namo Aphratara Samyaksambodhi." Zen Master Pudu Shang Jianyao followed him to chant the Buddha's name.
Jingnian glanced at him deeply and said:
"Do you have any other questions?"
Jiang Baimian thought about it and asked seriously:
“Can monks get ‘heartless’?”
A red light flashed and it fell into stagnation again. Jingmin replied after a while:
"meeting.
"Although we have abandoned our physical body, we still suffer all kinds of pain when we are trapped in the sea of suffering in the world. Only by attaining the fruit and entering the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss can we achieve true transcendence."
While Jiang Baimianning pointed, he stopped Shang Jianyao from saying words like "You mechanical monks are not as good as Lao Ge and the smart people."
She breathed:
"That's all our questions. Zen Master, what do you want to ask?"
Jingnian had already written the draft and asked directly:
"You confirm that the 'New World' exists?"
As for you, are you not so confident in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss? Long Yuehong, who was listening, whispered.
Jiang Baimian replied sincerely:
"Yes, we have dealt with strong people entering the 'new world' and have also seen nodes connecting the 'new world'."
When have we dealt with the "New World" strong men? The only "New World" strong men we have met are Yan Hu... Uh, I have also considered dealing with the "Doctor" when I was scared to death? Long Yuehong muttered when she heard this.
"Someone has entered the 'new world'? Since they are already in the 'new world', how did you communicate with them?" Xu Liyan blurted out a series of questions.
This was enough to show his surprise, surprise, shock and curiosity.
"It's not that they can't come back." Shang Jianyao looked like this, which was not a problem at all, "We have met the powerful 'New World' who have returned.
"Can you return?" The mechanical monk Jing Nian made a puzzled voice.
Jiang Baimian keenly captured this:
"Zen Master, will there be no eminent monks attaining the fruit of your 'Monks' and entering the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?"
She initially confirmed that the Pure Land of Bliss in the "Monks' Church" is equal to the "new world" in the awakening field.
"Yes." Jing Nian replied with a red light flashing in her eyes, "But their bodies have stopped running, and no one has returned."
"There is a certain difference between the 'Eternal Man' and the Ordinary Man?" Bai Chen did not understand this very much.
For the "New World", "Eternal Life" is also a relatively special type? Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
"It is not a secret that the 'New World' powerhouses can return."
Jingmian was silent and asked for a while:
"You said before that 'heartless disease' comes from the Pure Land, 'New World', what evidence is there?"
Jiang Baimian immediately replied:
“This is a link of evidence.
"We once met a sleeping and unable to return to the powerful 'New World' who stayed by his side for a long time and would suffer from 'heartless disease', which caused the destruction of a town...
"We confirmed from other channels that there are the same phenomena in a certain range for such a 'New World' powerhouse...
"A senior executive of the 'Salvation Army' told us that the 'New World' strong men can artificially create 'heartless disease'...
"Some of our friends became 'unintentioned' because they were attacked by the powerful 'New World'...
"Absents similar to those caused by awakening ability near many 'New World' nodes, and over time, if humans fail to stay away from that node, they will most likely suffer from 'heartless disease'..."
Jiang Baimian said it very vaguely and did not mention specific people and matters.
To be continued...
