Chapter 1489 Talking about Zen!

Buddhism has no specific hierarchy in Cangxuan Continent.

After all, he has too many followers, spread throughout the Chaos Realm... and even other great realms.

Because of this, basically all forces will not deliberately provoke Buddhism.

They all know that in Buddhism, which has so many believers, the power of faith has already accumulated to an extremely terrifying level. When Buddhists attack with the power of faith, not many people can withstand it.

However, Buddhism will not compete for resources with other forces, nor will it initiate conflicts with the strong ones of those forces.

They will mainly target casual cultivators and ordinary mortals, preaching to them to convince them of Buddhism and become Buddhist believers to increase the power of their faith.

The power of faith is the main reason why Buddhism has endured for so long.

…

now.

It took seven days.

Ning Chenxin traveled through many space nodes before arriving at the Buddhist territory of Cangxuan Continent.

Buddhism's territory is huge.

In the eastern part of Cangxuan Continent, there is 40% Buddhist land.

There is no so-called city here, there are undulating peaks, and on each peak, there will be a Buddhist temple.

There seems to be no darkness here, no clouds blocking the sun, and the golden sunshine is constantly shining on every mountain top and every Buddhist temple.

The closer you go to the center, the higher the height of the mountain will be, and the scale of the Buddhist temple will be larger.

This also means that the level of this Buddhist temple is higher.

When Ning Chenxin came to the outermost area, he could see devout Buddhist believers coming in and out, with machine-like piety on their faces.

There are so many pilgrims and believers just on the outermost edge.

Even ordinary people can accumulate the power of faith to an extremely terrifying level.

Thinking back to the old nun’s words.

Come here to seek solutions to your doubts and find an answer...

Ning Chenxin walked towards the mountain in front of him.

Most of the people who climb up are ordinary mortals. Even if there are monks, they don't know how to fly in the air. They still walk on the bluestone steps and climb up slowly step by step.

And people who climb up will almost always stop and pay homage to the Buddhist temple above at every step.

This seems normal, but for some reason, there is always something that makes Ning Chen feel strange.

There was something wrong about it.

But I can’t tell.

Ning Chenxin frowned slightly and continued upwards. He would not know anything until he went up.

However, Ning Chenxin walked very quickly and did not bow at every step, which also attracted the attention of the surrounding pilgrims.

Some pilgrims ignored it and continued to bow down the stairs.

Some pilgrims shouted directly: "In the land of Buddhism, your attitude is disrespectful to the Buddha!"

Ning Chenxin didn't care.

But after hearing these words, I felt even more confused.

In any case, such a fanatical pious attitude can no longer be said to be pious, but more like a disease!

This kind of believer is absolutely abnormal.

Ignore it.

Ning Chenxin's speed was so fast that these ordinary mortals couldn't see Ning Chenxin clearly at all, they could only feel a breeze blowing by.

It didn't take long before we reached the top of the mountain.

The size of the Buddhist temple is not large, but there are many people.

The door was open, and a monk wearing monk's robes stood on both sides.

Whenever someone enters, they will stand at the door and bow three times before being let in by the monk.

Ning Chen frowned and stepped forward to step into it.

One of the young monks guarding the door stopped in front of Ning Chenxin and said: "This donor, your heart is not sincere, please come back."

Ning Chen asked in his heart: "How can I be sincere?"

"You should kneel down and pray to ask for instructions from the Buddha. Only then will the Buddha feel sincere and be able to go in and meet." The monk said with his hands clasped together.

Ning Chenxin asked: "Kneel down and worship to show your sincerity? How can you tell if someone is just pretending?"

"Buddha knows how to distinguish."

Buddha should be said to be the top figure in Buddhism.

As for self-distinguishing, Ning Chen naturally doesn't believe it. This method is probably just to better absorb the power of faith of these ordinary mortals.

However, before the decision was made, Ning Chenxin did not argue. He just said: "I would also like to ask the young master to inform you that I am here to talk about Taoism and Zen."

Hearing this, the two young monks raised their brows slightly, then returned to normal. Only then did they raise their heads and take a closer look at Ning Chenxin.

After taking a look, he looked slightly heavy and said, "I'll go ask the abbot for instructions."

"Thank you."

Didn't have to wait long.

The little monk then made a gesture of invitation, "Donor, please come with me."

Ning Chenxin followed the young monk.

Looking around with his peripheral vision, there was a sound of Sanskrit sound coming from the temple.

This Sanskrit sound does not feel like someone is reciting Buddhist scriptures in front of you, but it will continue to linger in Ning Chenxin's ears.

The pilgrims who came in walked straight ahead, walked to the entrance of the main hall, and knelt down and saluted the three golden Buddhas in the middle of the main hall.

Ning Chenxin could clearly see that above the heads of the kneeling pilgrims, there would be a small wisp of light golden aura flowing out, and then merged into the Golden Buddha.

The power of faith.

Seeing this, Ning Chen seemed to think of Foshan in the wilderness.

Although the other party didn't do anything, his motives seemed impure.

The young monk took Ning Chenxin around the main hall and came to a small room in the back.

In the hut, an old monk with a white beard mopping the floor was wearing cassocks and sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

While banging the wooden fish in his hand, he recited Buddhist scriptures.

The young monk clasped his hands and bowed: "Abbott, he is here."

The abbot stopped chanting and nodded slightly.

The little monk left the hut and closed the door.

At this time, the abbot looked at Ning Chenxin, with a kind smile on his face, and made a gesture of invitation to the futon in front of him.

Ning Chenxin took the opportunity to sit down.

"The donor wants to discuss Zen with the old man?"

Ning Chen nodded inwardly: "If you have any doubts in your mind, please ask the abbot to answer it."

However, the abbot smiled and said: "The first reason why I am confused is because the donor does not believe in Buddhism."

"Believing in Buddhism can solve doubts?" Ning Chen asked calmly.

The abbot nodded without hesitation and said: "Since you have come to my Buddhist sect, you naturally believe in Buddhism so that I can answer your questions."

Ning Chen thought to himself: "There are so many people in the world who have doubts in their hearts. Is it possible that they all need to believe in Buddhism?"

"Tao follows nature, and everything should respect the laws of nature. Only by not forcing can we help people solve their doubts. Is this what you mean by Buddhism?"

The abbot opened his eyes at this time, and a ray of divine light like a sword shot out of his eyes.

Ning Chenxin met the abbot's eyes without giving in.

From the conversation between the two, it seems that they did not start discussing Zen.

But in fact, the battle on Tao had already begun from the moment Ning Chenxin stepped into this hut.

PS: I’m traveling with my family on May Day. I only have one chapter today, so I owe one chapter. (I will make up for it tomorrow if I have time. If not, I will start making up on the 4th.)

On May Day, I still have to spend time with my family. I beg you to understand me.
