Chapter 229: Immortals, Gods and Buddhas Believe in Loneliness

"Brother Xun, Brother Niu, something big happened!!!"

A piercing scream appeared in their minds, and Xiaochi ran over with his pupils wide open, "Run quickly, there is something wrong with this temple!"

"What's wrong, Xiaochi?"

"Moo?"

"My little brother just discovered that there are actually early Yuanying humans in this temple, and they are wearing masks!"

Xiao Chi began to describe it in a nonchalant manner, which was an exaggeration, "They also called a young monk who is in the middle stage of the Golden Core?!"

"Yeah, but it has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it.

Chen Xun laughed loudly and patted its lion head, "Xiao Chi, you did a good job."

"Moo~" The big black cow also laughed innocently, and put its hooves on Xiao Chi's back. What a clever little boy.

"Brother Xun, Brother Niu, why don't you run away?!"

Xiao Chi shouted anxiously, looking at the two eldest brothers who were still writing in the pamphlet, "This is obviously involving some big human force. Sooner or later it will involve us!"

"We will leave in a few days, and now I am still a little confused."

"Moo~"

"Haha, Brother Xun, Brother Niu, it's not me who said it. To be safe, you have to be determined..."

"Damn it, old cow, flatten it!"

"Moo!!"

"Ah! Ah~~! Ah!!!"

Xiao Chi let out a shocking scream and was beaten mercilessly again. He rolled all over the ground. He tried to forcefully spit out two mouthfuls of blood and pretend to be miserable, but Chen Xun saw through it and forced him back.

Three days later, early morning.

In the Zenyin Temple, the abbot sat cross-legged on a futon in the temple and entered meditation, but did not chant sutras or recite the Buddha's name. At this time, the temple door was wide open, leaving a tall figure behind to outsiders.

The entire hall was empty, except for rows of candles.

Chen Xun took Da Heiniu and Xiao Chi into the hall.

"Abbott."

"Three donors." The abbot stood up and saluted. His face was quite calm and he did not feel disturbed.

"Abbott, I'm still a little confused."

"Donor, please sit on the futon."

The abbot stretched out a hand, "It seems that the donor has wanted to express his true obsession."

Chen Xun handed over his hands, sat down on the futon and sat cross-legged, and praised: "As expected of the abbot."

The big black cow looked at the small futon on the ground. It definitely couldn't sit on it, so it squatted down next to Chen Xun.

This made Xiao Chi anxious. He had an idea and hid behind the big black cow.

"Donor, please tell me."

"Abbott, can merit lead to reincarnation?"

"Moo!!" The big black cow's eyes widened, even more excited than Chen Xun.

This is the real reason why they came to Dali Buddhism on this trip. No matter what the reason is, they always feel that something is wrong in their hearts.

After hearing this, Xiao Chi's eyes were dull. What was going on with Brother Xun and Brother Niu? What was reincarnation?

The abbot was stunned, looked at the two hopeful eyes and said slowly: "I am not involved in this way, so I don't dare to speak nonsense."

At this time, Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu breathed a sigh of relief. Since no one was sure, they must believe in themselves.

"Abbott, to tell you the truth, Lao Niu and I believe in Buddha."

Chen Xun laughed and took out a booklet, which was full of the names and portraits of various Buddhas. "Three days ago, Fan Kong told us some of your ideas. We..."

"Are the donors confused?"

"yes."

"Moo~"

Chen Xun nodded with Da Hei Niu and started chatting with the abbot.

"Where does the donor think the Buddha lives?" The abbot and Chen Xun sat opposite each other, not too far or too close.

"Buddha lives in the heart."

Chen Xun also glanced at the big black cow and said, "Although we are Taoists, we all have faith in heaven, gods, and Buddhas."

"Moo!" The big black cow nodded repeatedly.

The corner of Xiao Chi's mouth twitched, as expected of Brother Xun and Brother Niu, these immortals have really perfected their cultivation...

"Haha." The abbot's eyes changed slightly, and he smiled rarely, "The donor is really a strange person."

Chen Xun smiled and said nothing. If you want to live forever and cultivate immortality, it would not be a loss if you have more faith. Anyway, you can feel at ease and there are not so many taboos.

"But Lao Na believes that the Buddha does not exist in his heart or in the temple."

The abbot clasped his hands together and shook his head, "But between heaven and earth, Buddhist practitioners should go out of the temple, comprehend the heaven and earth, and realize the true Buddha in their hearts."

"The Buddhist cultivation places in the ten states of Dali have banned all Buddhist cultivation. Their Taoist disputes are meaningless. The Buddha statues enshrined in those Buddhist halls and temples are illusory and just carriers of incense."

“Then what is written in these scriptures?”

Chen Xun took out a lot of scriptures from the storage ring, which were given by others, "Abbott, although my wisdom is limited, these scriptures do contain great wisdom."

"Donor, therefore, these most sacred scriptures are for others to see."

The abbot kept shaking his head gently and smiled unhurriedly, "It's used for enlightenment... it's useless."

Damn it!

Moo? !

Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu looked at each other in confusion, and the concepts in their hearts were being subverted again. Uncle, did you believe in loneliness again? !

"The two benefactors are too obsessed with each other. Those who cultivate immortality do not need to believe in immortals, gods and Buddhas. They do not exist in the first place. If the obsession is too deep, it will put shackles on the door of the heart."

The abbot said meaningfully, lowering his head slightly, "Everything in the world is empty. Only its emptiness can accommodate all things. If you force it, this may be detrimental to the path to becoming a god."

As soon as the abbot finished speaking, Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu looked at each other coldly.

call!

call!

In an instant, the air in the entire hall stagnated, and a huge wave of terror enveloped Xiao Chi. Xiao Chi was so frightened that his hair stood on end and his whole body felt weak.

At this time, a ray of sunshine in the early morning came from the corner of the window of the main hall, bringing freshness to the world.

The abbot remained unmoved, still clasping his hands and bowing his head slightly.

"The abbot has two golden elixirs in his body, but he has not been able to break through. It seems that he is also disturbed by obsession. The obsession is far greater than imagined."

“The donor’s insight is correct.”

The abbot made no rebuttal, his eyes were unusually calm, and there was no sense of surprise that he had been seen through. "Buddhism in the Ten Prefectures is just one of the factors."

Chen Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I dare to ask the abbot, if the Buddha does not exist, the gods do not exist, and the way of heaven does not appear, should we monks have a sense of awe?"

"Moo?" The big black bull snorted and stared at the abbot unblinkingly.

"Donors don't have to put their trust in other things, but in their own hearts. The road to immortality is long and the answer will be in your heart."

"The abbot is righteous."

Chen Xun's eyes were bright and he exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Old Niu, do you understand?"

Da Hei Niu hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly. From now on, he no longer had to visit any gods or Buddhas to give him spiritual stones.

Merits can be achieved by cultivating yourself, and you no longer need to place your heart in nothingness. You can truly maintain yourself, cultivate for your own heart, and maintain awe of everything.

Two thousand years of obsession seemed to be broken at this moment. Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu instantly felt much more relaxed and enlightened.

"The two donors are very wise people, not as good as I."

The abbot could naturally see the change in their temperament, and he was very happy, "Reincarnation is a matter of sowing good causes and reaping good results. The two donors don't have to worry about it."

"Thank you, abbot, for preaching!"

"Moo!"

Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu stood up and bowed their heads, their eyes full of respect and their hearts surging. It was a worthwhile trip!

The abbot stood up and returned the greeting, remaining calm from beginning to end.

He took the initiative and said: "It seems that the two donors have found the answer in the temple. I wonder where the three donors will go next?"

"Haha, the abbot has a sharp eye and can't hide anything from you."

Chen Xun became more open-minded and laughed, "We are going to the sea, not doing anything but fishing!"

"Moo~~~" The big black cow also grinned.

There was a rare longing in Xiao Chi's eyes, and he was stunned. The sea was not on land, and there should be no humans chasing it.

"That's it." The abbot said with a smile, "The three benefactors are free and carefree, free from restraints. This is the true meaning of cultivating immortality."

This compliment made them get over it. They really didn't think much about it and just went to have fun.

Xiao Chi was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. This was the first time he was praised by an outsider, so he felt embarrassed.

"Donor, I have an unkind request."

"The abbot is out of town, please tell me."

"If the three benefactors want to go to the Overseas Pass and cross the Tianhe River, if they see a person named Baili Zhonghu, it will be said that I have broken the promise."

The abbot bowed deeply, and his words were filled with loneliness and sadness, "If the three donors have no intention of crossing the Heavenly Pass, just pretend that I never said these words."

"Okay." Chen Xun stepped forward and solemnly helped the abbot up with both hands.

"Moo!" The big black cow's eyes widened as he remembered the name.

Xiao Chi sneered in his heart, it was a big mistake in the world, this Tianguan, Tianhe, it sounded like a dangerous place, Brother Xun, how could Brother Niu take it and put himself in danger? !
