Chapter 173 My Western Buddhist Kingdom
Chapter 173 My Western Buddhist Kingdom
Buddha's son is a boy of fourteen years old.
This is good.
Buddhists are the people of the mountains.
This is better.
The Buddha's son is young, which shows that his nature must be extremely simple.
And there is a high probability that he is a mortal. Even if he has some cultivation, at this age and in such an environment, he is definitely just beginning to learn the way of cultivation.
Turning it back is easy.
Buddhists are mountain dwellers, and the Ten Thousand Mountains are filled with many evil spirits and are extremely dangerous.
That means Buddhists must have suffered a lot in their daily lives.
Having suffered so much, these Arhat monks may only need to promise benefits to welcome back the Buddhist disciples, and the Buddhist disciples will be willing to go back with them.
Although the Arhats in the Buddhist country of the Western Regions eat humans.
The monks' practices are also very strange.
But they are practicing Buddhism.
Buddha's son means the reincarnation of Buddha.
Although I don’t know which Buddha it is, Buddha is Buddha.
Even if they have not awakened their innate wisdom, they dare not show any disrespect.
It has always been the case that only Buddha saves sentient beings, but there is no reason for sentient beings to save Buddha.
……
At this moment.
In the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Chen Huangpi stopped.
He said with some displeasure: "Huang Er, those bald donkeys are following us again?"
The brass oil lamp said unhappily, "They followed us. Wherever we go, they go. They are like flies. It's so annoying."
About an hour ago.
The tangerine peel and the brass oil lamp sensed the presence of the monks.
At first, Chen Huangpi didn’t take it seriously.
He didn't like monks because the evil Buddha in his old view gave him a bad impression.
Therefore, there was no thought of contacting him.
After all, finding a fishing rod is the real thing.
But soon, no matter where he went, the monks followed him.
And it's getting faster and faster.
It seemed like it was directed at him.
"I don't want to bother with these bald asses!"
Chen Huangpi said angrily: "But it's really annoying that they follow me like this. Since they want to find me, then fine, I will do as they wish."
Having said that, Chen Huangpi turned around and walked towards where the monks were.
And it was dozens of miles away.
The monks were moving quickly towards Chen Huangpi's location.
The leader was the Du'e Xingzhe.
As for Jinjiao, he seemed to have been detained by him and disappeared without a trace.
"The Buddha stopped."
"Hey, the Buddha is coming to us."
"Could it be that the Buddha has awakened his wisdom and sensed our existence?"
The traveler Du'e said thoughtfully, "Why is the speed of the Buddha so fast?"
"No, why is the Buddha's aura so powerful?"
Chenhuangpi does not conceal its scent.
He had come all the way here, and the journey of just a few dozen miles was just a blink of an eye.
When these monks saw the tangerine peel, they looked excited and were shocked in their hearts.
Because Chen Huangpi was wearing a Taoist robe.
"This……"
Du'e Xingzhe was also a little surprised, but not because the Buddhist was a Taoist priest.
But it was because the aura of this Buddhist was very strange.
Even he couldn't see through it.
It seems that he has reached the pinnacle of cultivation, which is the Nascent Soul stage.
But if he was at the Nascent Soul stage, why was he walking among the mountains and forests instead of transforming into a beam of light and flying?
"Why don't you talk anymore?"
Chen Huangpi snorted coldly: "Aren't you looking for me? I'm here, why are you all acting like mutes? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, fart quickly."
Well, Buddha's tone is very bad.
But this is definitely because he is a Taoist now. After all, there is a difference between Buddhism and Taoism.
The monk Du'e put his hands together and said, "Greetings to you, benefactor. I have been following you for a reason. Please don't blame me."
He didn't call himself a Buddhist right away.
Because they were worried that it would arouse rebelliousness in this Buddhist disciple wearing a Taoist robe.
Chen Huangpi said impatiently: "You old monk are so shameless. You have been following me for so long, and now you want to let it go just because I said there was a reason. What? Do I have to forgive you?"
The monk Du'e did not take it seriously, but apologized immediately: "I am sorry for being rude. Every word you say is like a pearl, you must be a wise man."
"It's just that we have mistakenly entered these Hundred Thousand Mountains. If we don't follow the donor, I'm afraid we will never be able to get out in our lifetime."
"Enter by mistake?"
Chen Huangpi looked up at the sky with a strange expression on his face.
The sun in the sky is very hot.
The sun is blazing and it is now exactly noon.
Many cultivators have come to the Shiwan Mountains, but this is the first time I have heard of someone getting lost.
Chen Huangpi was too lazy to waste time talking to this Du'e Xingzhe.
He said bluntly: "Old monk, you want me to take you out, right?"
"Exactly."
The traveler Du'e smiled and said, "We are from the Buddhist country in the Central Earth, which is also the Buddhist country in the Western Regions. I wonder if you have heard of us?"
Chen Huangpi said: "I have heard of it, but I have never been there."
The Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions is too far away for Chen Huangpi.
I've only heard it from the dead Mangshan Jun.
Apart from knowing that it was in the west, he knew nothing else.
The traveler Du'e said, "The Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions is different from these 100,000 mountains. It has a territory of thousands of miles, and rice can be harvested three times a season. The people live and work in peace and contentment. It is the blissful place on earth, without sorrow, suffering, or realm."
"Then why are you dressed so poorly?"
Chen Huangpi sneered and said, "The disabled people in my mountain either make clothes with animal skins to keep warm, or wear coarse linen clothes to protect their bodies, but none of them are covered with patches like you." The Shiwan Mountains are a little dangerous.
Everything else is fine.
At least there are fewer people and more resources.
The monk Du'e said, "Donor, you don't know, I am an ascetic monk, so I am naturally dressed like this. Look at others."
Then he pointed at the monks and said, "They are also converts in my Great Buddha Temple. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. People are dressed so luxuriously, let alone Buddhas."
"If you can lead us out of the Ten Thousand Mountains, I will definitely reward you handsomely when we return to the Western Buddhist Kingdom."
"You're going to give me a generous reward too?"
Chen Huangpi gave Du'e Xingzhe a strange look.
The Du'e Xingzhe was somewhat surprised: "Why do you say that, benefactor?"
Chen Huangpi said: "Many people came to me before and asked me to lead them or take them in. Every time they promised a generous reward, but in the end, they didn't give me a penny."
"Donor, please look."
Du'e Xingzhe smiled and took out a small goldfish from his sleeve.
"My Western Buddhist country is rich in resources."
"Gold and silver are everywhere, and the rivers are full of milk and honey."
"I have been inconsiderate in the past, and this little goldfish is my apology."
Du'e Xingzhe has been describing the beauty and prosperity of the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions.
Then he threw the little goldfish to Chen Huangpi.
This time, Chen Huangpi was a little at a loss.
He has been to the outside world now.
Of course, we know that gold is more valuable than silver.
The traveler gave him a small goldfish right at the start, which made him seem a bit too aggressive.
Thinking of this, Chen Huangpi's expression eased a little, and he said, "Old monk, I have accepted your gold. I don't blame you. Go away, and don't appear in front of me again."
After saying that, Chen Huangpi turned and left.
As for taking these monks back to the Western Buddhist Kingdom...
He doesn't have the time.
Seeing this, all the monks looked at the walker Du'e.
The walker Du'e frowned, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
This Buddhist disciple doesn't seem to be that simple and honest.
Just collect the money and leave.
As for the other words he said, the Buddhist disciple pretended not to hear them.
Only taking benefits but not doing anything...
"Donor, please stay."
This time, there was magic power mixed in Du'e Xingzhe's voice.
Although he looks like a human.
But in fact there is a Bodhisattva inside the body.
That is why those Arhats respect him so much. Now that he has used his magical power, it is equivalent to the power of a Bodhisattva speaking and having the Dharma come true after his words.
However, what surprised this traveler was...
Not only did Chen Huangpi not stop, but he walked faster and faster.
It was as if it wasn't affected at all.
“Donor stay!!!”
The walker Du'e spoke again loudly: "Donor, please stay..."
With a clang sound.
Before he could finish his words, a sharp sword energy immediately brushed past the ear of the Du'e Walker.
Rumble…
Wherever the sword energy passed, countless trees were cut in half and turned into pieces.
The monks' faces changed drastically.
They all have some experience in cultivation, so they can naturally feel the horror of the sword energy.
It is definitely not something that a Nascent Soul cultivator can do.
Even the Arhats in the shrines they carried on their backs showed expressions of extreme fear.
Because they can really feel it.
This sword energy can hurt them or even kill them.
At this time, Chen Huangpi's voice slowly fell: "This is the Shiwan Mountains. I can leave if I want to, and I can stay if I want to. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being rude."
However, this scene fell into the eyes of the monks.
But it didn't make them feel afraid.
Instead, it makes them excited, extremely excited!
After the great changes in heaven and earth, the path of cultivation stopped at the Nascent Soul stage.
If converted into Buddhist practice, that is the realm of relics.
If you go any higher, you can only become a god.
Today's arhats and bodhisattvas are actually just a collection of popularity and incense, and are not real Buddhas.
Chen Huangpi displayed a cultivation power above the Nascent Soul stage.
In their view, it is clear that the Buddha has awakened some powers, but has not awakened his innate wisdom.
It’s no wonder these monks think this way.
Because in their eyes, the Buddhist spirit of Chen Huangpi is too strong and too heavy.
"Don't blame me, benefactor."
The traveler bowed deeply to Chen Huangpi, and then immediately said: "This world is so big, you can go wherever you want, but unfortunately we have nowhere to stay, so please show mercy."
"I want to find a place to live..."
Chen Huangpi looked these people up and down. There were nearly a hundred people in total. Although there were many guest rooms in Jingxian Temple, they could not accommodate so many people.
Unless you stay in the old temple at night.
There are many guest rooms in Jiuguan, which can accommodate even a thousand more monks.
Du'e Xingzhe saw that Chen Huangpi was somewhat tempted.
He immediately showed a kind smile, without any trace of magic power in his words, and said very respectfully: "I won't make it difficult for you, the donor. I will stay for a few days and then leave. As for the generous reward..."
"I caught a son of the Di Ting before, so I'll give it to you as a gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, the traveler Du'e waved his hand, and a golden ball of light instantly flew out from his sleeve. The golden ball of light fell in front of Chen Huangpi, within which was a puppy that was completely black except for its golden horns, barking excitedly.
As the puppy kept barking, it used its paws as hands and started making sign language towards Chen Huangpi.
Chen Huangpi glanced at Jinjiao, then at the traveler who saved his life, and suddenly smiled and said, "Old monk, I actually know a little bit about Buddhist scriptures. You just mentioned my Western... well, your Western Buddhist kingdom is very big and rich, right?"
