Chapter 613: Is there a Buddha on the mountain?

"There is a way that I am a Buddha, there is no Buddha, and everyone is a Buddha."

"All aspects are aspects of sentient beings, aspects of Buddha, aspects of great wisdom, and there is no end..."

In the brightly candlelit Anfo Temple, Chen Xuan, dressed in a simple cassock, worshipped Buddha, preached, and taught chanting with the disciples in the temple.

The disciples were originally admirers of Buddhism and had complete faith in the Buddha's teachings.

But the abbot of the temple did not show up tonight. Instead, a young man who claimed to be a Buddhist master came from outside the temple, muttering something.

In fact, the disciples didn’t know how they started listening to the lecture. They just felt that this master had a strong Buddhist nature and a compassionate face, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.

If one is not a highly skilled Buddhist, one will not have such kindness and Buddha nature.

Some disciples wanted to go find the abbot to receive this great master, but this great master, who called himself the Guide to Buddha, smiled wisely and said that the abbot must have been asleep as he had worked hard during the day, so there was no need to disturb him.

In secret, a warrior monk who was guarding the temple went to the abbot's room and called out to him in the dim light. He could only vaguely see a figure covered with a quilt on the bed and heard a barely perceptible snoring. He was filled with respect and thought, "It's rare for the abbot to go to bed early, but he guessed this. He is really a master!"

However, the monk was only a mortal, so how could he see two figures grinning in the shadows of the room?

"The Anshan Mountain God is very considerate and sent the abbot into his dream in advance."

After the monk left, City God Gu Jian couldn't help but smile.

On the side, Li Yuan sat on a wooden chair, flipping through the Buddhist scriptures in the abbot's room, and also smiled:

"The old man is already very old, and he has been very hard at teaching the Dharma during this period. It is a blessing from me as the mountain god to let him fall asleep in a sweet dream."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The Buddhist sect tried to distort the thoughts of the people of Anyue and belittle Li Yuan's status in their hearts.

To put it in a broader sense, he just wanted to prepare for the future overthrow of Li Yuan.

It was just that the people firmly believed that Li Yuan was a benevolent god, so they were not instigated.

Due to the previous sneak attack by the evil creature, the atmosphere on Anshan was very tense and extra precautions were needed everywhere, so Gu Jian was not in a hurry to deal with the matter.

Now that Li Yuan himself has returned and knows about this matter, it is naturally impossible for him to sit back and watch the other party look for another opportunity. He must take action first, using Buddhism as the first step to fight against the catastrophe!

In the auditorium of Anfo Temple.

Since Chen Xuan entered the door, he has not made any difficulties and has not been disrespectful in the slightest. Everything he does is like a great Buddha.

Even though he guessed that the abbot was asleep, he never said anything nonsense. He only said that he would enter the temple when he saw one and preach when he saw the Buddha. This was his firm belief.

It is even said that meeting is fate, and fate cannot be abandoned. I wish to preach to all Buddhist disciples in this dark night.

Seeing this scene, the monk who returned from the abbot's room suddenly felt guilty, thinking that his cautious suspicion had deeply offended this respectable master.

He quickly summoned all his disciples.

At night, under the light of candlelight, in front of the stone statue of Buddha, all the disciples of Anfo Temple gathered in the lecture hall, listening to Chen Xuan calmly explaining the wonderful Dharma of Buddha.

The sermon lasted till late at night. All the disciples were fascinated and listened to the Buddhist teachings as if they had seen the Buddha's true form. They chanted the Buddha's name and bowed down to Chen Xuan with sincerity.

"Master, it's late at night and the cold wind is exhausting. I hope you can go to your room and rest early."

The night wind was a little chilly, and the honest and simple-minded disciples were worried that the Buddhist master might catch a cold.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan just smiled calmly, stood up and walked out of the temple.

The many disciples looked at each other, none of them knowing what Master Chen was going to do.

Out of curiosity and concern, and because they had just listened to a sermon and benefited a lot from it, they all followed.

"Master, it's late at night, what are you going to do?"

A disciple put his hands together and walked up to Chen Xuan with a look of piety and conviction on his face.

The sermon just now was full of details and sincerity. Many of them were impressed and cared about this master of profound Buddhist teachings from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Xuan was complaining about Li Yuan's idea of ​​going against Tian Gang in his heart, but he had a deep and calm smile on his face:

"See the Buddha."

"See the Buddha?"

All the disciples of Anfo Temple were stunned.

"Master, there are many wonderful statues of Buddha in the temple. Why go there at night?"

The monk who had previously suspected Chen Xuan was now following beside him like a bodyguard, with a look of confusion on his face.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes were somewhat mysterious, containing an indescribable Buddhist charm.

"There is a Buddha with a certain appearance in the temple, and I have worshiped him before."

"This journey is to see the Buddha of heaven and earth, the Buddha of nature, and the formless Buddha of great wisdom."

Some Buddhist disciples hurriedly closed the temple door and trotted after him.

"Master, we are stupid and our wisdom is muddy. It is difficult for us to understand!"

Many disciples showed confused expressions.

However, Chen Xuan always maintained that indifferent smile, as if emitting a gentle glow that could guide all lost souls.

"Buddha is on the mountain."

He pointed to Anshan Mountain, then said nothing more and walked up the mountain path with piety.

Many disciples had only a vague understanding of the situation and tried to guess the deeper meaning of it, but seeing that Chen Xuan did not stop, they followed him.

At night in Anshan, the mountain road is lined with street lights, and even in the middle of the night, there are people going there in groups of three or four to offer sacrifices.

Those people went to the mountain at night to seek help on a whim.

Usually, under Zhuge Laodeng's arrangement, there would be spirit beasts keeping watch at night and listening, providing assistance to those who do good.

Chen Xuan led dozens of disciples from Anfo Temple up the mountain.

Although they are disciples of Buddhism, the image of the mountain god Anshan is deeply rooted in people's hearts. There are also many local people among the disciples. Looking at Anshan in the night, they are not afraid and follow Chen Xuan closely.

There were even disciples who clasped their hands together and whispered, "Sins, sins, there are dozens of us going up the mountain late at night, please don't disturb the peace of the mountain god."

His words caused some Buddhist disciples from other places to frown. In their opinion, how could a mountain god be compared with the Buddha in their hearts?

Since Master Chen Xuan said that they wanted to go up the mountain to see the Buddha, even the mountain god of Anshan should not stop them.

Looking at all the Buddhist disciples whose expressions changed, some local Buddhist disciples didn't care and just shook their heads.

Although they have nothing to do and have entered Buddhism, they are native Anyue people at heart, and the status of the mountain god is still unshakable.

Listening to some disciples whispering, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

"If your mind is not pure, why bother seeing the Buddha? It will only increase your distracting thoughts."

Chen Xuan chanted a Buddhist name, and Buddha's light bloomed from his body, emitting a calming power.

Many disciples quickly apologized for their sins, gathered their thoughts, and climbed the mountain reverently.

In the darkness they cannot see.

Li Yuan, Gu Jian, Zheng Tai Biao, Xuan Chi, Man Xiang, Zhuge Laodeng and others were all hiding in the mountains and forests.

"Zhuge Laodeng, are you ready?"

Li Yuan asked Zhuge Laodeng beside him softly.

Zhuge Laodeng had an old but kind face. He took a deep breath and imitated the sentence pattern that Li Yuan had said before.

"Don't worry, Lord Mountain God, watch me give them a little Bodhi tree shock!"
