荒墟牧神 - 第19章 玄軀初醒震荒村 - 雲海書庫

the sense of producing and creating, and maya, which is the world of illusion; by extension it means the Sovereign Heaven. Bound together, samaya means "creating the Sovereign Heaven." As for qikedo in that demonic incantation, it is a word coined by Zhai Zhu, meaning the majestic and towering power of a demon-god. Taken all together, the sentence means: the demon-god's mighty power creates the Sovereign Heaven; ultimate wisdom opens up the Sovereign Heaven; the demon-god of ultimate wisdom uses mighty power to open up the Sovereign Heaven. Applied to the struggle in the canyon ruins: the thing lurking in the darkness meant to open up, within the ruins, a dominion of the Sovereign Heaven into which a demon-god might enter, and so annex the ruins to itself. And in the old temple — why did the Buddha statue explode at the very hearing of this phrase? Because the Buddha's mother was called Mahamaya: maha means great, and Mahamaya means the Great Sovereign Heaven. The demonic tongue declares that the demon-god of ultimate wisdom created the Sovereign Heaven by mighty power — in other words, the demon-god created the Buddha's mother, and only then was the Buddha born. This is insulting to the Buddha, and so the statue burst at the first touch. Zhai Zhu knows no Sanskrit; he merely patched these together, and does not know whether they are right. Let those who know Sanskrit not laugh at him. As for the divine tongue's tian, shi, dui, xi, wei, ling, and nu — these come from the Songs of Chu, a rather bloody line: "tian shi dui xi wei ling nu, yan sha jin xi qi yuan ye," meaning heaven and earth darken, the majestic heavenly god flies into a rage, every living creature is exterminated, and corpses fill the open fields. When Zhai Zhu wrote the divine tongue, the demonic tongue, and the Buddha tongue, he was not scribbling nonsense, nor was he rolling his face across the keyboard — in truth, there is a measure of learning in it.
