Chapter 177 Mahayana, Samsara, and Pure Land

[In a peaceful border town, Lü Bu got up to eat.]

[Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily looked into the distance. The thoughts he had left beside "Dong Zhuo" had already dissipated without a trace.]

[At the same time, several warriors in the world broke through their limits and stepped into the threshold of the "boundary between man and god".]

[Lü Bu's aura suddenly surged like a tidal wave. He gently clenched his fist, as if to gather this power in his palm, and then instantly gathered the aura into his body, returning to normal.]

[“Guan Yu? Zhang Fei? Zhao Yun?”]

[The names of these people flashed through Lu Bu's mind. He was used to this kind of situation.]

[This ability was born when he awakened his "True Self Dharma", allowing him to vaguely sense those who have the potential to surpass first-class generals.]

[Unfortunately, since he became a divine general, his power was too strong, and he couldn't fight against these generals. Lu Bu's body no longer boiled with blood due to fierce fighting, and he almost forgot what it felt like to feel that excitement.]

[Who else in this world can withstand his full-strength attack? ]

[As for slaughtering the weak, to him, it is as boring as crushing an ant. There are fewer and fewer things in this world that can interest him. ]

【Lü Bu shook his head slightly.】

[Half a month later, Lü Bu greeted his mother and elder sister as usual and went out.]

[When passers-by along the way saw him, they greeted Lü Bu enthusiastically, and Lü Bu responded one by one. ]

[Then, he walked into an antique teahouse on the street and went straight to the second floor. There was a subtle gap near the window on the second floor, which allowed Lu Bu to take in the scenery outside the city.]

[He ordered a pot of fragrant high-quality tea and sat quietly by the window, staring blankly into the distance.]

[Over the years, he often waited here for his friends to come, hoping that they could bring him some gossip about the Thirteen States, adding a touch of color to this boring life.]

[Lü Bu had no strong desire to travel far away in person. ]

[Perhaps, after a hundred years, when everyone in the world has passed away and he is still alive, he will consider leaving this familiar land and seeing this world...]

[The reason is... he doesn't have much affection for this world. The Thirteen States are a hundred times more cruel than this place. The breath of death can be seen everywhere. People are either hungry, cold, or killed. The whole world is in chaos.]

[Lü Bu felt extremely bored. He looked out the window and saw that it was almost dusk. He was about to get up and go home, but suddenly his eyes lit up. He then called the store owner to bring a pot of steaming hot tea and a few plates of delicious food, and then waited quietly.]

[On the second floor, a yellow-robed Taoist priest, who looked exhausted, walked in slowly. She walked straight to the empty seat opposite Lu Bu and sat down. Her slightly tired eyes stared blankly at the smile on Lu Bu's face.]

[Outside, the storm was raging, and such a shocking event happened, but the instigator seemed to be standing aside, unaware of it, and still sipping tea leisurely here. ]

[Taoist Wuyou picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and ate three bowls of rice without saying a word.]

[After the meal, Lu Bu gently picked up the teapot, with graceful and calm movements, and filled a cup of fragrant tea for Taoist Wuyou. Then he gently pushed it in front of her and said with a smile: "Mr. Wuyou, please have some tea."]

[“Fengxian, you seem to be relaxed and at ease, not competing with the world…” Taoist Wuyou took a sip of tea, and she sighed softly, her eyes full of fatigue from the journey. She slowly lay down on the table, staring at the gradually setting sunset outside the window.]

She saw no hope.

[On the day when the Taiping Rebellion started, she had already seen the "reincarnation". If they succeeded, a Son of Heaven would be born among the Taiping Army, and that "Son of Heaven" would destroy the Taiping Dao. If they failed, the Taiping Dao would...]

[After the Yellow Turban Warrior's heart collapsed, she teamed up with her fellow brothers and sisters to look at the eighteen princes one by one. Many of them chose to leave the Taiping Dao, gave up that unrealistic idea, and each chose a wise leader to pacify the world and end the chaos.]

[Similarly, they occupied the destiny and used the great calamity of heaven and earth to prove the way to immortality. They gave up the "Mahayana Dharma" and practiced the "Hinayana Dharma". It is better to save oneself than to save others. The suffering of the world has nothing to do with them.] [The master was very disappointed, but did not blame him. Instead, he chose to respect his disciple's ideas. He knew that he was going to lose the discussion with the "Taoist Ancestor".]

[Wuyou Taoist hesitated, wondering whether she should give up the "Mahayana Dharma". After all, all the running around and hard work over the years have made her tired. At this time, there was a crowd of people outside the window, children were running and playing, carefree, everyone lived and worked in peace, everything was a scene in a dream.]

【All of this is her achievement.】

[Back then, she became acquainted with the young Fengxian, and after that, she would come to this small town every once in a while. She later preached here and taught the people here how to farm. Fengxian moved to the mountains to create fertile land, and the people here raised herds of cattle and sheep, which led to the prosperity today.]

[She thought she could make the whole world look like this, but only this place remained.]

【This "worry-free" life is actually based on the abundance of material goods. Disputes and conflicts in the world often stem from hunger and scarcity. In fact, the Taoist skills of Qigong practitioners and the strength of warriors are enough to cultivate vast fields and ensure that everyone can have enough food and meat to eat. 】

【But farming cannot solve the root cause. 】

[Because the hearts of the people in the world will never be satisfied, they are not Lü Fengxian, they will never be content. ]

[Among the masses, there are bound to be those who are insatiable and who, by taking more food, become the superiors and seize the vast majority of the world's material possessions, causing 70% of the people to struggle in the quagmire of hunger.]

【She didn't understand at first, but then she understood. 】

[Some people are born with no worries about food and clothing, so they naturally set their sights on higher things. Such people are like weeds, growing endlessly and cannot be killed. Because people's hearts are fickle, such people will only increase in number until the chaos breaks out and they cannot be stopped.]

【Taoist Wuyou traveled thousands of miles and experienced all the vicissitudes of life, and finally realized the "unsolvable" dilemma that Master encountered in the past. No matter how hard they worked, no matter how perfect the system they built seemed, in the end, everything was still just the "reincarnation" of history.】

[So Taiping is fake——]

[She suddenly turned around and looked at Fengxian, her heart wavering. A thought flashed through her mind like lightning: This might be all I can do. Why not stay here and be with Fengxian...]

[“What’s wrong?” Lu Bu couldn’t read minds, but he felt that Mr. Wuyou was very strange this time. ]

【Taoist Wuyou shook his head slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.】

[After the battle at Hulao Pass, she had already experienced Fengxian's strength. Perhaps she could use Fengxian's power to defeat the heroes of the world one by one and unify them in a short period of time.]

[But peace is fake - she doesn't want to involve someone like Fengxian. Once he steps out of this pure land, he might lose himself and no longer be the innocent boy he used to be.]

[She was reluctant to destroy the way he looked when they first met, fearing that Fengxian would become a completely unfamiliar existence to her one day in the future. She was even more afraid that the last piece of pure land in her heart would also disappear without a trace.]

[Moreover, she had seen the methods of the immortals and Buddhas in heaven, and Fengxian would only become a "tool" for the immortals and Buddhas to gain fortune.]

[The Taoist Wuyou and Lu Bu chatted, with the Taoist Wuyou doing most of the talking until the sun completely set. The two of them walked around the town together, and there was no conversation all night.]

【The next day.】

[A young man came hurriedly, bowed and reported: "Brother, Hua Xiong brought a few heroes to see you."]

[“Hua Xiong?” Lu Bu was surprised. The three strands of divine consciousness he had given to Dong Zhuo that year had all been used up. He was about to refuse, but suddenly his brows furrowed.]

[“Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, it’s actually them…”]
