Chapter 90 Genesis
The Buddhist Sutra Repository is located on the 13th floor of Mount Lingshan. It is an ancient building with glazed tiles, red walls, and single-eaved corners. It has a total of nine floors and is simple and elegant.
However, this Sutra Repository has no entrance, because outside the pavilion sits a giant stone Buddha statue that is half the height of the Sutra Repository.
A faint Buddha light emanates from behind the Buddha statue, shining on the Sutra Repository, adding a touch of sacredness.
When Zhou Zhilu approached, the Buddha statue opened its eyes and looked down.
He said in a loud voice, "Token."
Zhou Zhilu immediately took out the token given by Yu Yao and gestured to the Buddha statue.
After seeing this, the Buddha statue raised its right hand. The stone-carved robes became like cloth at this moment and were lifted up by the right hand of the giant Buddha, revealing the entrance to the Sutra Repository behind it.
"Please, benefactor, but please remember that you can only browse the books in the right wing on the eighth floor."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhilu walked into the Sutra Repository.
The entire Sutra Repository must have been constructed using a magic similar to the one that allows a mustard seed to contain Mount Sumeru. Once inside, the space inside is much wider than it appears from the outside.
Zhou Zhilu took a quick look and found that the books in the left wing were basically all kinds of Buddhist teachings, etc., which involved other people's cultivation systems. No wonder they were not allowed to read them.
The information related to Genesis, perhaps because it involves some sensitive information, is of a high level and is placed on the eighth floor.
Arrived at the eighth floor, used the token to open the right wing.
The collection in this room are all books about the creation period. Because there are not many relevant clues, there are actually not many books in the room, only about a dozen or so.
For example, "A Brief Summary of Genesis Clues in Various Places", "Speculations on the Creation God", "What You Must Know About the Wild God", "The Lifestyle of People During the Genesis Period", etc.
Zhou Zhilu searched for a long time and finally found a book called "An Overview of Genesis History (Exploration Edition)".
This book is about a Buddhist ascetic monk who discovered the existence of Genesis while traveling around the world thousands of years ago and began to explore it.
What is recorded in the book is some of the information found about Genesis and the ascetic monk's personal speculations.
…
The book records that based on the clues left over from the Book of Genesis, the world we live in is called Planet 616. The meaning of this number is unknown.
This name was given by the creator god, but who is the creator god and how was he born? The ascetic monk traveled all over the world but could not find any relevant information.
All we know is that there is a race that has a very close relationship with the creator god, and they are called the Holy Race.
However, at that time, in addition to the holy clan, there was another kind of powerful creature in the world. They were called wild gods, and in the legends of some places, they were also called demon gods.
The wild gods possessed great power and brutal character, and once ruled the entire world. Only where the creator gods were was there a pure land.
However, one day, the creator god disappeared, and the creator god could no longer be found in the world, and the wild gods acted recklessly.
The many races that were once protected began to work together to help each other and fight against the God of Wilderness.
Among them, the saints, demons and humans are the most prominent.
After a thousand years of war, many wild gods were killed, and only some of the most powerful ones were permanently sealed underground.
Moreover, according to the investigation of the ascetic monk, Buddhism existed at the end of the creation period, and that place was called the Pure Land of the Great Buddha.
The Black Demon, one of the wild gods, was sealed under the Pure Land.
However, the clues about the Great Buddha's Pure Land are different from those in the Buddhist world today.
The ascetic monk believes that the current Buddhist world is most likely a Buddhist tradition that branched out from the Great Buddha Pure Land, and the place where it is located was called the Desert Plain during the creation period.
Gu'e, one of the gods of the wilderness, was sealed in the desert.
After exploration, the ascetic monk discovered that the seal was located under Lingshan Mountain. He guessed that perhaps when the Buddhist world was first established, someone knew about the existence of the ancient evil, but for some reason it was not passed on to later generations.
The ascetic monk spent the rest of his life searching for the legendary Pure Land of the Great Buddha, but unfortunately he never found it until his death.
In his later years, he returned to the Buddhist world and left behind this book "An Overview of the History of Genesis (Exploration Edition)".
Zhou Zhilu felt quite complicated after reading it.
It was not because of the shock brought by the description of the creation in the book, but because of seeing the ascetic's persistence in searching for past history throughout his life.
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but think of his "Book of Boundaries", perhaps he also bears this responsibility.
This time, Zhou Zhilu came to the Sutra Repository, in addition to looking for relevant information about Gu'e, to record the history of this place, which was also his purpose.
But in fact, Zhou Zhilu also knew that the history that could be recorded in books did not need to be discussed in detail in terms of its value.
Apart from rare books like Genesis History Overview (Exploration Edition) which are unique to Buddhism, other books like Records of the Grand Ceremony of the Return of Buddhism to the Song Dynasty in 197 which have been printed in countless copies have not received much feedback after recording.
As early as in the capital, Zhou Zhilu had copied historical books, such as "The Founding of the Song Dynasty", but the process is really hard to describe in a few words.
At that moment, Zhou Zhilu truly understood what it meant that history is written by the victors. The gray energy would backfire from time to time, forcing Zhou Zhilu to tear up the history book in his hand on the spot.
As for these things about Buddhism... Zhou Zhilu was quite distressed after reading them, because there was indeed high-value information, but Zhou Zhilu really didn't dare to write it down.
After all, Genesis happened too long ago, and everyone is making guesses based on clues.
For example, Zhou Zhilu didn't dare to record a single thing about the most discussed character in many books - the creator god.
