Chapter 478 An Unspoken Goodbye (2/2)
The social class in Da Xia was very strict. The royal family had no respect for human lives and the blood and tears of the lowest class civilians. Moreover, the civilians did not have any capability to revolt all these.
This was because the royal family could make countless of civilians disappear from this world. Hence, despite Da Xia's prosperity, it made the lowest class feel hopeless.
Even if Xuan Du Temple's objective is to enlighten the mortals so that the common living creatures could obtain the power to chase after immortality. However, this enlightenment was still under the control of Da Xia.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
Shen Lian sympathised with them. Compared to the social classes which were ruled, not being able to see the hope of changing one's life was more hopeless, just like a pool of stagnant water.
He used to be one of the common people. He was fortunate enough to get out of it. Shen Lian felt that he could do something for them, such as passing on doctrine which actually allowed the numerous living creatures to break free from the misery.
When he had such thought, there was countless of wisdom appearing in his spirit sea like the lightning. He thought of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva's vow, which was 'before the hell is empty, I will not become Buddha'.
Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva was at least Mahasattva Bodhisattva's level, which was Daoism's Taiyi, or maybe an even higher level.
He made this vow was definitely not to restrict himself but for his sympathy for the people.
Rescuing the other living creatures was also rescuing himself.
After resolving the root cause, he could enjoy the success, that was an unbelievable situation.
If he could open up a road that could lead these living creatures who saw no hope at the end of the tunnel to get out of this misery, he would definitely have big gain.
These common living creatures were not just the Da Xia's living creatures, it also included the rest of the world's living creatures.
Buddha left the classics, Daoist masters were meant to cultivate, whereas Shen Lian could also open up a cultivation path for this world.
Shen Lian's heart was instantly full of wisdom, there was a burst of his divine aura but it could not be seen from the outside.
The maidservant asked, ”what are you thinking about?”
Shen Lian looked outside of the door, he smiled and said, ”somebody's here.”
The maidservant could not help but to feel upset because the person who came was to invite Shen Lian to meet Prefect Grand Usher. She could not even bid him goodbye because she was afraid that she would not be able to see this young lad for the rest of her life anymore.
It could not be considered that she liked him, it was just that she could not help but to feel like talking to this person more. There was no way that she would not cling on to the feeling of being treated fairly.
Shen Lian told her, ”My name is Shen Lian.”
The maidservant nodded her head. She would remember it forever.
However, to the very end, she did not tell Shen Lian about her name. She was also not aware that the person who was willing to listen to her talking for so long was actually a mighty existence like the Emperor Xia.
The Prefect Grand Usher, Lei Nuo met Shen Lian in his study room. His books were all carved on the wood chip made from the jade tribute offered by Kun Wu.
He had heard from Guan Longzi that knowledge was a priceless treasure. Thus, it was more than appropriate to use precious jade to carry the knowledge.
The first sentence that Lei Nuo said was, ”you're a Daoist?”
Now he could recall that the qualities within Shen Lian was not really similar to those of Daoists. Actually, he had also associated it with one more person, that was Tianyi who was being banned from the entire Diqiu.
