Chapter 469 Faith
Li Kan attended a funeral for his relatives when he was a child. This one is not much different from what he remembers.
But the team was a little messy, and people holding mourning sticks were mixed with the people carrying the soul-summoning banners. And paper-made paper people and other items were also mixed in a mess.
And they are not lined up, but lined up to move forward.
The cheeks of those who played the suona were bulging, and they were shaking their heads and making serious noises, but in fact they didn't make any sound.
There is a funeral procession, but no coffin, no one touches the urn or something. The only person in this team can hold people is a sedan chair, but the sedan chair is made of paper, how can it withstand a person's weight?
More importantly, they appeared in the darkness suddenly, but Li Kan and Wang Xuan saw it very clearly.
"Here you come, are you going to do it?" Li Kan asked.
Wang Xuan waved his hand and signaled Li Kan to be calm.
The team "blowed and beaten" and saw the big tree that had been incense for many years, and then stopped.
Then Li Kan saw that there were four sedan chairmen among them. They gently placed the sedan chair on the ground, and then the two sedan chairmen in front would press the sedan chair, as if there was really someone on the sedan chair.
It shouldn't be said that there was someone, there should be something on it. At this moment, no one in this funeral team said that they were human.
In Li Kan's surprised gaze, a man in a black robe came down from above.
As soon as he came, Li Kan instantly felt the rich demonic energy, which was similar to those of the little demon kings in the demon world.
Li Kan looked around with some concern. The mall has been around for many years and is older than him. If the fight starts and destroys it later, it would be a pity.
The man in black robe came out of the sedan chair and came to the big tree. He saw the incense burner and incense ash around the big tree, as well as some statues of gods and Buddhas such as Guanyin.
The black-robed man waved his hand, and all the incense burners and Buddha statues turned into powder. After another wave, the dust disappeared.
It’s really a rebellious thing. There are gods who come up with their heads. Even if they don’t believe it, they must respect others’ admiration and be respectful.
In addition to giving a sustenance in the heart, faith in the gods also has other functions. One day, you must have a sense of awe. As long as you have a sense of awe, you will be restrained on your behavior.
This is the purpose of each religion.
But the man in black robe obviously had no awe. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that others wanted others to respect him.
If a pilgrim sees the man in black robe like this, he will definitely attack him. This is simply blasphemy and unforgivable!
After the man in black robe cleaned up the big tree, he waved his hands gently, and a few people came out of the funeral team behind him with iron lifted them and started digging the tree.
"Hey? Always do it? If that tree is dug, you will not find such a tree that has been incense for decades," Li Kan said patting Wang Xuan's shoulder.
But he did not receive a response. When Li Kan looked at it, he found that the guy was actually pale and trembling all over.
As for being so scared? Isn’t it just that there are more funeral teams at night? Since Wang Xuan came here to investigate, he must be prepared to be scared.
And as an exorcist, I have never seen any scenes before? Now that I am scared like this, is it a novice to start?
"Just tell me if it's for them, right? If so, just do it?" Li Kan said, shaking Wang Xuan's shoulder.
"I can't beat them. They are too powerful. We are no match for us at all... Hello!" Before Wang Xuan finished speaking, Li Kan kicked him out and appeared in front of the funeral team.
It was really this kid who was too timid, much different from before, and Li Kan couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked it out in the shadow.
The man in black robe heard the movement and turned his head to look. Wang Xuan found that there was endless darkness under his hood. He didn't know if it was a trick or something else.
Wang Xuan looked at these people and smiled awkwardly: "Everyone is mourning and following the changes. Can you please not dig that tree? It is an ancient tree that has received a lot of incense. It is the soul of many people here. What's the use of digging it? Do you want to dig out the tree? Do you want to bury yourself in and receive incense?"
The man in black robe didn't say anything, and he just pointed his finger and asked several funeralists to come out to beat Wang Xuan.
When Wang Xuan faced these little fish and shrimps, he could still deal with them, but he could only come one by one. If he rushed over, he would definitely not be able to win and escape.
After Li Kan kicked Wang Xuan out, he also came out, and he looked like Wang Xuan was not in danger when he was dealing with several people.
So Li Kan came to the man in black robe and watched the people dig trees with his hands behind his back.
The man in black robe glanced at Li Kan and didn't do anything.
"Brother, why are you digging a hole? Could it be that you really want to compete for incense with it, right?" Li Kan said standing beside the man in black robe.
The tone was as if the two of them were old friends they had known for many years, chatting with each other.
"All of you are all fellow men, why ask me knowingly?" The man in black robe said lightly. The sound made people feel chilled when he heard it. Perhaps the sound that seemed to come from the Nine Netherworlds was the urinary nature.
But after hearing what the man in black robe said, he seemed to regard Li Kan as a member of the demon.
Perhaps after staying in the Demon Realm for a long time, Li Kan's aura remained in the body of the Demon Realm. Although it was weak, it was natural to suppress the Demon Realm as a demon in the human world.
"Brother, how long have you been here in the world?" Seeing this, Li Kan simply pretended to be a fellow man.
The man in black robe heard this and murmured, "Am I?"
Then he seemed to be trapped in memories and said with vicissitudes of life: "At that time, everyone here was still wearing braids."
It's been a century, and I think I don't know that Li Kan is doing something about the turmoil in the demon world.
When the man in black robe saw that Li Kan was young, he asked some things about the demon world. Li Kan told him what he saw and heard.
The lifespan of the people in the Demon Realm is very long, so a hundred years is only a few years for them. It really doesn’t change much, and it can even be said that there is no change.
At that time, the four major demon kings in the Demon Realm were also the ones, but the Demon King Palace was still fine at that time, without demon insects, Xiaobai should still be eating green leaves in the Demon King Palace.
The people in the Demon Realm should be moving slowly in constant friction, and every Demon is looking forward to one day to kill back to the world.
After hearing Li Kan's words, the man in black robe stopped talking, but silently watched his men dig a tree.
The land around this tree is really hard. With a shovel, it can only be a few inches into the ground. It took me so much time to dig a shallow pit.
This tree is the belief of many people.
Faith refers to the belief and admiration of a certain idea or religion and a person or something, and regard it as one's own code of conduct.
Faith has the subjective and emotional experience of rationality, which is especially reflected in religious beliefs, and will ultimately even lose its mind.
The belief defined by philosophers: "A strong belief, usually manifests itself as a stubborn trust in things that lack sufficient evidence to convince every rational person."
Faith is the subjective product of the soul, and religion or political parties plays a catalyst. Without religion and political parties, people can also have faith.
Faith is an individual's conscious behavior. Faith established by collectives cannot last long. Faith established by collective beliefs will disappear with the disintegration of a certain community organization. The content of faith is diverse and diverse. The belief in the unity of man and nature, God's belief, Buddhist belief, scientific belief, obsession and worship of rights, status, money, reputation, beauty, etc. are also faiths. "Enjoy timely", "being a monk rings the bell for a day", "just live by just being a monk", etc. are also faiths.
Faith is a kind of soul-like love and care, it is a human emotion. Things that believe in are often transcend reality, so God, deceased relatives, or teams, countries, religions, etc. Here we can see that the country is a culture developed by people's beliefs - national culture and religious culture; the most fundamental thing about faith is a kind of love produced by the same kind that is fundamental to itself, and the infinite desires stimulated by the brain through human emotions.
Belief is different from faith. Belief is something or thing you firmly believe in, and faith is the mark of people's soul. He believes and respects a certain proposition, ideology, religion, someone or something as a guide or example for his actions. However, faith is rarely about people. Religion is not a belief object, but a manifestation of faith. The manifestation cannot be used as a belief object.
Faith is where your trust lies.
Unlike trust: faith is also where you value.
Faith is some of the long-term and must-defend fundamental beliefs that people hold in life. No matter how much science and technology develop, human finiteness will not change. Although we know much more than people 2,000 years ago, as knowledge increases, progress has been made in the understanding of some problems, but some new confusions will arise, and on some issues, such as the ultimate issue of death, the ultimate issue of life. Human beings may shrink in the gap between wanting to know and unknown, and infinity, compared with their ancestors, the extent to which they narrow is far less than imagined. In this gap, hope and fear are generated, which leaves a territory for faith.
Therefore, faith is different from what people generally say about beliefs. Faith answers the deepest aspects of daily concern in life. The object of faith is also the object of worship. Everything in the field of human experience is limited and only limited value. These things with limited value are difficult to be the object of faith. Faith is for transcending and transcending everything, and only the infinite that transcends reality can truly become a hope to make up for the limitations of people themselves. The truth of "God" is the transcendent truth that humans find. Belief in "God" is not comparable to any empirical proposition.
Don’t believe in the existence of the ‘god’, don’t believe in the cause and effect, so that humans become fearless and shameless. Usually we will associate these mysterious spiritual lives with religion. Belief in the ‘god’ is equivalent to believing in religion. In fact, it is a big mistake. Everyone can believe in ‘god’ independently. No matter what the ‘god’ is called, as long as it is not human beings themselves, as long as it is always in your heart, you don’t even have to go to churches and temples. No matter where you are, ‘god’ is with you. This relies on a person’s profound inner consciousness, and of course this is also the highest realm of faith. Religion is not superstition or an attempt to explore the mystery of spiritual life, but tells us about some sages’ experience in teaching people to deal with the world and the many efforts they have put in for it.
Theologians' research on religious teaching believes that assuming that human beings were created by "gods" and everyone has their own divinity. This divinity is world-wide. In order to make this divine essence appear, it requires people to change in their own nature to be realized - such as some isolated Taoist priests, monks who are far away from the world, monks who are pursuing the truth, etc. Only they are more likely to get close to the "gods" and more likely to get the opportunity to communicate with the "gods". They always firmly believe that human beings have the desire to survive. Although human beings will die, their souls will not perish. A person's soul is the human life essence. Only after a strict "cleaning" process and under the guidance of the "gods", they will be reborn with a new life.
This is not only a Buddhist saying, but also a Taoist and folk religion. In foreign countries, this saying also appears in the Gospels, Plato philosophy, and various mysterious religions in Greece. Although everyone has obvious differences in spirit and body, interests and talents, temperament and physical fitness, human beings are the same in the deepest spiritual level of human beings. Why can Buddhism, Christianity, ***ism, Judaism, etc. transcend several centuries of history and continue to this day? Theologians believe that these religions promote a truth, and this truth is the language of God, which is an eternal and fundamental wisdom.
Unfortunately, this wisdom was deceived and distorted by humans with ulterior motives in the progress of history, and was even used to achieve their own various goals, so that the originally pure religion became mixed and confused, which also led to the fact that many people's original firm beliefs collapsed directly, and people began to doubt religious beliefs, and gradually changed from conscious beliefs to passive traditional beliefs.
From the moment human beings was born, the world broke the peace of the past and began to change quietly. Later, this change became obvious and rapid. The world of spontaneousness in the past has undergone more and more human labor and transformation.
Li Kan couldn't ignore things. He couldn't let the people in the county wake up the next day and find that their faith was gone, or that they didn't realize that their faith had been stolen.
