Chapter 230 - Another Three Gods Paradox (2/2)
“What do you mean?” Hao Ning didn’t understand. “What do you do with this spell?”
“Well…” Zhou Yuan was embarrassed to scratch his head. “For example, if someday I want to live in a seven-star hotel, I’ll sneak to open a small door next to the hotel door. The inside layout is the same as that hotel. When I enjoy enough, I can go without paying. ——Those fairyland or space that Liu Shuai just said are all for cultivation. Who else like me wants to use this spell to eat and drink for totally free?”
After that Zhou Yuan said to Hao Ning, not looking at Liu Shuai’s disdainful eyes. “Don’t you remember? Last time when I was in your home, I opened another door on the wall next to your bedroom door and slept in it for a night.”
That night Zhou Yuan mentioned was when Hao Ning was sent home by Zhou Yuan and others after he got fainted by saving Nezha. On that night, Hao Ning didn’t pay attention to this detail at all. Now it seems that it did happen. looking at Zhou Yuan, Hao Ning only said one word, “freak…”
Zhou Yuan waved his hand and didn’t want to talk about this. He looked at the aisle in front of him and said with a smile. “Interesting. What do they want by preparing so much?”
Then he went more quickly. They soon came to the door of Chen’s dorm.
Expectedly, Yi Pingzhi, and the fake Chen Busheng stood at the door as well. The door was closed, and Yi’s hand on the door handle. He said with a smile, “Mr. Chen, before you saw Yufei, I still have two questions to ask you.”
“Just say it.” Chen frowned and seemed to be anxious. “Quickly.”
“First,” Yi said. “do you want to accompany Yufei forever with your own body?”
Even for the fake Chen, this question also made him a little angry. “Of course. I certainly want to accompany Yufei forever with my body. I will never give up.”
“Okay.” Yi nodded. “The second question. How’s your research about the Three Gods Paradox?”
“Three Gods Paradox?” The fake Chen stunned. He stared at Yi and he didn’t speak for a long time.
“Three Gods Paradox?” Hao Ning recalled carefully, “I seemed to hear this word some time?” So familiar!”
“This is what Yi said. Do you remember?” Zhou Yuan said in a hurry. “When we killed those imaginary ‘us’ on the road, we said it ourselves. What I remembered is, The Godslayer Sect and the Soul Hunting Sect have combined. The study about the Three Gods Paradox has greatly surpassed the Split Sect.”
“Yes.” Liu Shuai nodded. “I recalled it. What is the Three Gods Paradox on earth?” Three gods? Is it a lite version of the Six God toilet water?”
Then the three guys looked at the real Chen, waiting for his answer.
“Why did they care about the Three Gods Paradox?” Chen said curiously. “This’s just Yufei’s joke. What do I research?”
“A joke?” Hao Ning strangely said, “What joke?”
Before Chen saying, the outside fake Chen has already opened his mouth. “Why did you ask this?”
“Mr. Chen,” Yi’s smile disappeared a bit. “From meeting till now, you’ve asked me a lot of questions and I answered all of them. But I’m sorry, I can’t answer you. I can only ask you, how’s your research about the Three Gods Paradox. If you’re not going to say, I’m sorry, please go back.”
Suddenly these four guys were stunned. What was Yi going to do? There’ll be a big romantic drama while you suddenly played the Happy Dictionary?
Chen sighed. “Ok. About the Three Gods Paradox, there are three types of gods in this world. The first one is those described by the various organizations in their respective sutra. Second, the gods that people imagine in their minds according to various legends. The third one, the gods that people imagined in the mind, and these beliefs generate and accumulate to create a true god.”
“Very good,” Yi’s eyebrow rose and said with a smile. “please go on.”
“The three kinds of gods, the first one exists in the book, the second one exists in people’s minds, and the third one may exist in this world.” The fake Chen continued, “but the order of becoming gods is different from the traditional ideas that people think the god exists at first. Then there’ll be some religion or organizations. The fact is there is sutra at first and people have beliefs resulting from those sutras, and there appears the real god.”
“This is the Three Gods Paradox?” Hao Ning disapproved. “This is just an objective summary of the God of the world. Is it a theory?”
“You don’t understand this.” Liu Shuai shook his head. “Now you have experienced so much. There’re Avalokitesvara and so many people always telling you the relationship between faith and God. Otherwise. You must ingrainedly think that a certain god created human, and then they worship this god.”
“It does make sense.” Hao Ning thought for a moment. Then Liu Shuai said, “but even so, how can I do with this?”
“Very good,” Yi appraised. “Please go on.”
The fake Chen hesitated, “how much do you want me to say?”
“I hope you can,” Yi looked at Chen. “say everything you know.” Then Yi pointed to the aisle casually but intentionally, “sometimes just an idea can decided that we are going forward or backwards.”
“Alas…” Chen shook his head and sighed. “Okay. In the whole process of the Three Gods Paradox, the crucial problem is neither the belief, the organizations, the religions, nor their sutra, but why can people change the content of the sutra into belief and have the god. Here, the most likely reason is, the soul. In other words, the soul is the soil to belief. Whoever masters the critical path of the ‘soul-belief-god’ has the chance to break the system of creating god, and then to create countless gods.”
After the fake Chen’s word, all the people in the virtualized reality was stunned. They did know the relationship of the sutra, belief, and God. But Hao Ning and the other two never attempted to analyze it from this angle, which is how to break the system of creating god and to endlessly create.
Hao Ning looks at the real Chen. “Bro, you really dare to think.” Why don’t you go to heaven?” Then he thought of Zhou Yuan’s imagined mom who can go to heaven, and then said, “even you can go to heaven, do you want to be a god?”
“Jesus!” Chen trembled as well. He said quaveringly, “this is not what I thought. Only a small part of these words were told by little Yu Fei. I just regarded it as a fairy tale said by children. Who is serious about it? How can this fake me be so talkative?”
“These are not said by the fake Chen.” Zhou Yuan corrected again. “It’s what Yi subconsciously hopes Chen said. Chen didn’t know this, but Yi did.” Here Zhou Yuan sneered, “ironically, Yi seemed to know more about the Three Gods Paradox from Chen. But in this case, he can’t know it more, but instead let us outsiders know everything.”
“Exactly. The one who was trapped is just himself.” Hao Ning said with a smile. “It is impossible for a person to know what he doesn’t know.” Hao Ning felt that he said something useless and didn’t express his meaning. He said, “well, what I want to say is, one…”
“You want to say,” Zhou Yuan understood what Hao Ning thought, and said with a smile. “that one can’t know new content that is excluded in his knowledge system without increasing the additional knowledge, right?”
“Right!” Hao Ning nodded and smiled. “It’s exactly what I mean. Seclusion is a wrong way.”
“What is the key point of the Three Gods Paradox?” Yi seems to be a little excited on hearing here. “Go on.”
Chen shook his head. “I only know the key to the problem, but I don’t know the answer. I don’t know anything more. If the Three Gods Paradox, or called Three Gods Theory, is true, the biggest problem is that it takes a long time before a belief becomes a god. Then before a god come into being with enough belief, why does most civilizations have the same description of God and the corresponding sutra? If don’t make it clear, I can’t completely explain the process that God is generated form people’s beliefs. ”
“Where’s Xiao Hong?” On hearing this question, Hao Ning suddenly asked, “where’s him? I need to ask him! ”
“What are you noising?” Seeing Hao Ning was so excited, Liu Shuai quickly pressed him. “What’s wrong with you?”
“I can ask you as well.” Hao Ning asked Liu Shuai. “Tell me, Avalokitesvara can come into being was because people read many sutras and then generated a belief that became a Wuxiang fragrance after that, at last, it gathered and become the real Avalokitesvara, right?”
“Yes,” Liu Shuai naturally replied. “This is not what I told you. This is the fact. You and I have seen so many gods, who told you like that as well. And don’t we also create a god in this way?”
“Don’t interrupt,” Hao Ning continued. “Before these sutras were completed, there was certainly not so much incense of faiths and naturally not Avalokitesvara that generates from the incense?” So how can the Avalokitesvara was written about? It’s impossible to fabricate all the time? You see almost every extant sutra is filled with golden words!”
“Well.” Liu Shuai was stunned by Hao Ning’s question. “I really didn’t think about it for the god’s sake. I used to think they’re fabricated, and more and more people trust them with more fabrication.”
“It’s so funny.” Hao Ning sarcastically looked at Liu Shuai. “Do you trust it? Each civilization can coincidentally fabricate a particularly convincing and wise sutra? If it’s true, would you write me another Prajna Paramita Hrdaya Sutra?
Liu Shuai opened his mouth but didn’t say a word.
“Do you know anything else?” Yi said at this time, “Anything will be fine.”
The fake Chen shrugged. “No. Really.”
“Ok.” Yi smiled and took a key from his pocket and handed it to Chen. “Wish you happy. I’m leaving.”
After that, Yi “passed” Hao Ning and others in the virtualized reality directly, walked through the aisle and left this layer.
The fake Chen didn’t care about the strange behavior of Yi, excitedly opened the door and walked in.
There was a man in the room, who looked like Long Fei, smiling at the fake Chen.
“Yufei!” The two Chen almost shouted the name at the same time.
But the fake one rushed up and tightly held Yufei, bursting into tears, “see you again!”
While after saying “Yufei”, the real Chen was too excited. He squatted on the ground and cried, but soon fainted.
“Hey! Hey!” Hao Ning and others looked at the fake Chen hugged with Yu Fei while they rescued the real Chen at once. Hao Ning sighed reluctantly, “you’re really such a funk. You’ve waited for so many years but kneeled at first sight. And you are fainted. You’re so disappointing, not good as this fake one.”
“He’s not fainted. He got ill.” Liu Shuai found a bottle of medicine from Chen’s pocket, which was full of English words. After seeing the name of the drug, Liu Shuai shook his head. “It is probably cancer.”
