Happy Days: Since the Beginning of the Night

Chapter 120 The Liberation of All Beings
The swaddled baby opens its eyes.

Snowflakes fell all over the sky, and a coffin was carried by the funeral procession in the snowstorm and disappeared.

After giving birth to him, his mother died, and that was the first time he felt death, an inexplicable feeling.

A few years later, the little boy grew up and was established as a prince. Since he was young, he was both civil and military. He often wandered around the palace on elephants. Hundreds of beauties provided him with entertainment, and he lived a life of wealth and pleasure.

After becoming an adult, he took the princess of another country as his wife and lived in the harem all day long.

But with the passage of time, the prince gradually got tired of this kind of life, he chose to leave the palace and escape from this place where there is only fish and water.

On the way west, he met many people.

Finally came to a frontier village.

An old farmer in the countryside, holding a cane, is struggling to walk.

He couldn't help thinking: "As the sun and the moon go by, can all people in the world be unable to escape the pain of aging when they reach their old age?"

He followed the old man to the village and saw a paralyzed man curled up under a tree with a pale complexion, panting and moaning.

"People in the world are suffering from diseases, how can they escape the pain in life?"

A group of funeral procession marched towards the layman with gongs and drums, and the family members who followed were weeping.

The crown prince saw the bright red coffin again, just as he had vaguely remembered in childhood.

Since then, he has become confused.

Why do people die, and what do they live for?Why go through all kinds of pain, and finally return to nothingness.

Until he met a monk with an extraordinary appearance and a bright spirit on the way back to the palace.

The monk gave the prince the answer: practice is the only way to escape the sufferings of life.

That night, the prince became a monk.

Together with many ascetics, they went into the mountains to seek Taoism and practice.

Desiring to find a way to overcome the most basic sufferings of human beings such as old age, illness, death, etc., and determined to find a way for the world to get rid of all sufferings.

Decades later, he enlightened under the bodhi tree, cut off the demons in his heart, and became a Buddha.

But it was this year that the world suddenly became dark, and endless cold invaded the world.

Standing under the bodhi tree, he watched the life in the world die away, looked up at the sky, and there was a look of compassion in his eyes.

After many years, the world is restored to light.

The human race that survived by luck reproduced again.

He preaches in the world, hoping that more people will become Buddhas and more people will no longer suffer from the sufferings of the world.

This time, the flowers of Buddhism and Taoism are in full bloom.

But what greeted this sea of ​​flowers was more terrifying ice cold than last time.

All living beings were turned into dry bones, and only a few survived under his protection.

The world recovered again, and this time, he learned countless mysterious secrets from the rebirth and destruction of the world.

The first Buddhist instrument appeared, the chessboard world.

Every Eternal Night, he moves his followers in to escape the disaster.

But gradually he found that he couldn't save everyone.

Every Eternal Night, in order to protect the believers, will consume his thousand years of cultivation.

If this continues, he will also return to nothingness.

One day, he saw all beings raising pigs and sheep for his own survival, and suddenly realized something.

A hundred years later, a hanging temple appeared on the earth.

Countless "pigs and sheep" entered the deep pit under the temple and waited to be slaughtered.

This time, he succeeded without any loss, and spent the eternal night.

And because of the nutrition of the "pig and sheep", he felt that he was one step closer to transcending everything.

For the next ten thousand years, he was like this.

Until one day, his cultivation reached its peak and seemed to have broken through some kind of limit.

He saw that one day in the future, a ray of light fell from the sky.

Life and death could no longer restrain him, and eternal night came again.

He looked at all the living beings in the chessboard world, and found that they still seemed unable to escape the pain of life and death like himself.

So he instilled in them his thoughts of Nirvana, erasing their emotions.

Feeling the Buddhist kingdom where all beings are like me, he smiled.

Liberation became an obsession in his heart, and he decided to make the outside world like this.

In other words, he wants to kill the "Buddha of the Underworld" who controls all sentient beings outside the chessboard world and replaces it every thousand years.

On that day, he became a Buddha and no longer a Buddha.

······
The people in Chang'an don't know why they are here.

A glazed mountain peak appeared in front of each of them.

A person they are too familiar with is sitting cross-legged in it, eyes closed, pointing to the sky.

"Sun Monkey, why are you still locked up!"

A child with pigtails stepped forward, raised his pink hand, stretched out his fingers, and touched the fingers of the man in the mountain through the thin layer of glass.

A gray-haired old man staggered to the side of Liuli Mountain, frowning.

"Which bastard locked the man in the formation!?" He angrily tapped the fingertips of the man in the mountain with his cane.

A woman in a long snow-white dress came to the glazed wall and saluted. After looking at it for a moment, she seemed to realize something.

"Do you need me to help you write this talisman together?"

At the same time, tens of millions of people, holding different thoughts, overlapped their fingertips with the people in the mountains.

They felt each other's hearts together.

Everyone's fingers followed Han Ye.

Skim.

Take a swipe.

The running script is extremely slow, but extremely serious.

Countless "person" characters of different sizes and shapes bloomed endless brilliance in the glazed mountain peak.

The people behind Yan Se wrote it together with him.

A intersecting herringbone space crack suddenly appeared, and the next moment it was attached to the golden ball in the sea of ​​storms.

Three cracks appeared on the glazed mountain peak.

There are three burning light paths across the entire Buddha Kingdom.

Under the bright sun transformed by the Buddha, endless figures appeared on the ground.

Some of them have no ears, some have no tongue, some have their eyeballs smashed out, some have arms and hands...

They are tens of millions of serfs who have been raised for tens of thousands of years.

They raised their hands, smeared blood from their wounds, and waved them against the shining sun in the sky.

Countless bloody herringbone flew towards Haori.

"I want people in the world to escape from the cycle of pain and reincarnation, and to be peaceful and happy."

"I want all living beings in this world to become Buddhas."

"What's wrong?"

The three cracks on the Buddha's body are exuding Buddha's light.

The blood-colored herringbone gathered together, causing the Buddha's light to tremble, and cracks ran through the whole body.

The glazed mountain peak shattered, and Han Ye walked out of it.

"The future of human beings should be determined by themselves."

"We practitioners just give them one more choice."

The disintegrating eyes of the Buddha seemed to see something higher than life and death in the eyes of all living beings, and his body disintegrated in the light.

"Is it freedom..."

The three light paths above the sky stretched through the entire Buddhist world, and the endless Milky Way poured down like a bank bursting.

The flood raged across the earth in an instant.

These floods that poured in from the sky submerged everything and extinguished all the magma flames that burst out from the ground, and the world became a vast ocean.

The Tianhe River continued to fall, and the water potential continued to rise.

This is a doomsday scene.

However, Han Ye saw every flower, every grass, every insect and every tree in Zeguo exuding joy.

They turned into streamers, jumped out of the water like fish, and flew into the sky, following the souls of hundreds of millions of serfs, they didn't know where to go.

Where the Buddha disappeared, a vague golden light suddenly emerged from the nothingness of life and death.

It fell into Han Ye's eyebrows in an instant.

The woman in white appeared, hugged the unconscious Han Ye into her arms, and disappeared into this world as a ray of white light.
