Chapter 223 Famine
In the content recorded in the book, at that time, a figure of a Buddha as tall as a mountain suddenly appeared in the sky, and countless people knelt down to worship the Buddha.
The great Buddha clasped his palms and closed his eyes, as if he was reciting scriptures. After a while, he slowly stretched out his right palm toward the home of the Buddha. Then he saw his soul flying into the palm of his hand, as if there was a faint golden light vaguely blooming, with signs of becoming a Buddha.
Then, the phantom slowly dissipated with the soul, but it was precisely because of this that the people who believed in Buddhism began to spontaneously build temples and statues of Ezu Buddha, which further helped the other party to achieve the true Buddha.
But for some reason, this scene that should have been witnessed by countless people has disappeared from various rumor versions for no reason, and has evolved into this version today. Only the ghosts can vaguely see the scene of the birth of myths in the records.
Of course, no one knows the specific process of the other party becoming a Buddha. The book records the three times after the other party becomes a Buddha.
Once when his biological father and mother passed away, he turned into the appearance of a mortal in his life and went to the grave to worship before his grave. Although his parents were not good to him during his lifetime and even had a bad attitude, he never hated him. Until someone discovered his identity and caused a sensation in the city, countless people wanted to watch, the Buddha had to step on the auspicious cloud and quickly left.
This is also a powerful proof of his becoming a Buddha.
Once, when a flood occurred in a certain place, a dragon caused chaos, and countless people died of misfortune and were filled with resentment. However, this dragon was well-versed, and many masters and monks could not do anything about it, so they asked the real Buddha to attack, and the Buddha personally took a hand and surrendered him.
The last time was also a disaster. At that time, the demons were in trouble and the creatures were suffering. Many immortals and Buddhas personally came down to earth to subdue demons and demons, and the ancestor Buddha was one of them. There was no detailed record this time. It was estimated that the demons who recorded these things at that time were only concerned about escaping from the hands of these immortals and Buddhas, and they did not have the leisure to record them.
When Du Bai saw this, he felt that this last time was probably the one he heard and saw when he entered the dream of Buddha's bones, and the great Buddha he saw was also the master of the Buddha's ancestor, Nan Tianhongyun Buddha!
However, even this last opportunity was more than two thousand years ago. Not to mention yourself, even the Nightmare Dragon King is about this age.
It is difficult to explain so far away now, and we can only vaguely see the grand occasion of the immortals and Buddhas when they appeared in the world from these ancient books.
"This ancestor Buddha is really a bit special..."
Du Bai closed the book, and his eyes showed a look of thought.
Judging from these lives, the other person's personality is extremely kind, and he cannot bear to see others suffer and be willing to sacrifice himself, even after becoming a Buddha. This can be seen from his contradicting his master in order to save people.
Although Du Bai himself couldn't do this, he still admired such a person, so it's no wonder that he could become a true Buddha.
In this way, he doesn't have to worry about whether such a person will leave any traps in his Buddha bones to harm others, and he can use them boldly and with confidence in the future.
It’s a bit of a pity that this time, there are still not many effective clues to infer the real reason for the disappearance of the immortals and Buddhas, which shows that the haze on the top of the head has not dissipated.
When he returned the book to the Beech Spirit, he remembered another thing, something that he had just mentioned in the book.
“Are there a lot of famines today?”
This is a problem he has always ignored.
It was probably a good day when he had not had to worry about food or food for too long. After traveling to this era, he lived in the wealthy businessman Su Mansion. He had no shortage of daily expenses and had money to buy whatever he wanted. And it was even more exaggerated in the ghost town of the Nightmare Dragon King. He didn't need to eat at all. He was full of demons and monsters, and there was no such trouble of eating.
The habitual experience made him completely ignore some of the possible disasters in this era.
This includes famine...
For example, the great famine that the Buddha experienced before becoming a Buddha was just mentioned in the legend, but the tragic situation of that year can be seen from the few words, which makes people subconsciously feel much more frightened.
Hungry people all over the world...
Eat with change of children...
Even the hungry people did not object when Ezu Buddha proposed to give his flesh and blood to everyone for food, but instead celebrated and thanked him...
This kind of terrifying scene is creepy just by imagination!
Du Bai immediately thought of this layer and frowned, allowing the beech tree spirit to find the famine records of the past few years.
Information like this is obviously much easier to find than those mysterious immortals and Buddhas, and the records of time and place are also much more detailed.
Soon the Beech Tree Spirit listed the relevant information in front of Du Bai, and the content of it made Du Bai secretly frightened.
"At that time, a foolish monarch from a certain country favored corrupt officials and the people were living in poverty, so the sky fire fell to the sky to show punishment. The land of a hundred miles was dry, the canal was cut off, and the whole country had no grain harvest in the next year..."
"Thousands of casualties and injuries, countless people were displaced, and the specific details are no longer countable..."
"There was a certain mansion who had been drought for three consecutive years, starving more than 10,000 people..."
"The harvest in a certain area is poor at times. Many families rely on eating tree bark and grass roots to make a living. They have to sell their children for a bite of food. More than tens of thousands of people starved to death..."
Such records are almost everywhere in these files. You can see some shocking records by just flipping through them, which makes Du Bai's heart slowly sink.
If wars may be avoided, but this natural disaster cannot be avoided. Whether it is a drought or a flood, it will directly or indirectly lead to the outbreak of famine.
For example, the Holy Dynasty has a history of thousands of years, and has been extremely strong in the past three hundred years. On the contrary, thousands of nations surrender, the country is peaceful and the people are in peace, and it is a good weather. However, in fact, every few years, a large number of disaster victims in the northwest will still migrate to places such as good grain harvest in Jiangnan.
And these are actually normal in the eyes of people of this era.
The reason is nothing else, and there is a famine again.
In ancient times, such as this, it was not as special as modern, and was limited to the backwardness of farming technology. The yield of rice was actually very low. If you can have two or three hundred kilograms per mu, it can be regarded as a favor from God, and the harvest is good.
Under this premise, there is no need for major disasters. If the storm is stronger or the sun is more intense, the yield per mu may drop sharply, and the resulting food shortage is very serious.
The reason why those victims choose to leave their hometowns is not that the Beijing migrants like modern times are trying to strive for a better life, or that they may just be able to fight for a pitiful opportunity for their families and children to survive...
