Chapter 1490 Abnormality, Investigating Hantu Village
Ruining things.
The kind smile on the abbot's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at the elegant man in front of him with some surprise.
To be honest, this matter is actually a tacit truth among the major forces, but no one has ever dared to say it without any conflict of interest, let alone say it in the territory of Buddhism. Such words are detrimental to the foundation of Buddhism.
However, as a Buddhist, he is naturally very good at nourishing qi. A kind smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "Nature will not force you. If you don't believe in Buddha, we will not force you. Everyone has their own choice."
These words are impeccable.
Ning Chenxin didn't know where to find a breakthrough. He stared at the abbot and didn't reveal too many flaws except for the shock in the previous moment.
However, it was this momentary shock that made Ning Chen completely convinced of some of the problems existing in Buddhism today.
If it was really what Ning Chen thought, Buddhism would use some harmful method to attack ordinary mortals in order to gain the power of their faith.
This is something Ning Chenxin cannot accept no matter what.
"Perhaps the donor shouldn't label us as Buddhists. Buddhism is upright and will not do such sloppy things." The abbot clasped his hands together and said: "If the donor came here for this matter, I think the donor should be able to go down the mountain."
No clues found.
However, Ning Chenxin came here not prepared to get any clues, but just to confirm whether the Buddhist sect had done anything harmful to Tianhe.
Now that I have a guess in my mind, there is no need to stay here anymore, since there are no clues to be found anyway.
So he stood up and said goodbye, "Excuse me."
The abbot also stood up and sent Ning Chenxin to the door.
When Ning Chenxin stepped out of the threshold with one foot, he asked without looking back: "If the Buddha only exists for the power of faith and does whatever it takes... then there is no need for the Buddha to exist."
After saying these words, he raised his feet and opened his legs again and left the Buddhist temple.
The abbot looked at Ning Chenxin who was drifting away, and his kind smile was gone! Some of them just had indifferent faces and murderous intent in their eyes.
"This person is a big problem."
…
After Ning Chenxin left the Buddhist temple, he went straight down the mountain.
There is nothing to investigate on the mountain.
Since most Buddhists are ordinary mortals, let’s investigate from some villages around Buddhism.
Thinking of this, Ning Chenxin deliberately found a village relatively far away from the Buddhist territory.
If you are too close, it is very likely that they are all believers, and it will be difficult to investigate anything.
Clues can only be found in people who retain a shred of self-awareness.
After walking through a dozen villages, we finally stopped at the entrance of a village with three characters engraved on it.
Cold Earth Village.
It is considered a village on the edge of Buddhist territory.
The scale is small, a bit smaller than Fumiao Village.
The people here do not have arable land. The soil is cold and cold, and the soil is not good, so it is not suitable for planting. They only raise some livestock to meet their needs for food and clothing.
Ning Chenxin walked in.
The few villagers among them were slightly startled when they saw Ning Chen dressed in white, their eyes filled with vigilance or curiosity.
Look around.
Letting go of perception, I found that most of the villagers still placed a small Buddha statue in these houses.
At this time, an old man walked up to Ning Chenxin with his waist hunched over and a cane, and asked: "This... Immortal Master, I wonder why you came to our Hantu Village?"
Ning Chenxin shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I want to come in and ask some questions."
The village chief was slightly startled, "I wonder what the immortal master wants to ask?"
Ning Chenxin looked around and saw a bronze-skinned young man feeding the chickens, and then walked over minding his own business.
As if he noticed Ning Chen's heart, the young man looked over, but after just one glance, he turned his head again.
Seeing this, Ning Chenxin also noticed the unwelcome looks from other villagers on the young man, and then asked: "What's your name?"
The boy didn't answer.
"Then why do you have bad relations with other villagers?"
The young man's face tightened and he continued to spread the feed. He looked at the chickens pecking in front of him and still said nothing.
Ning Chenxin decided to take a strong dose of medicine, so he directly said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Is it because of Buddhism?"
The young man then looked at Ning Chenxin, his mouth slightly opened, but he didn't speak, he just nodded slightly.
Ning Chen smiled heartily: "Then the other villagers believe you, so why don't you?"
The young man spoke for the first time and said solemnly: "What's the use of believing in Buddhism? Can it fix this cold land?"
Ning Chen shook his head: "Can't..."
"Isn't that right?"
"But I can." Ning Chen smiled heartily, and then turned his hand, and the entire soil of Hantu Village was surrounded by a white halo.
Integrate your own power into it, filling the originally lifeless soil with vitality.
When other villagers saw this scene, they immediately beamed with joy.
They all knelt down in front of Ning Chenxin.
"Thank you, Master Immortal. Thank you, Master Immortal!"
"The Immortal Master must be sent by Buddhism to save our Hantu Village."
“Praying every day still has an effect!”
The young man was also a little dazed, and then asked: "Are you a Buddhist?"
"No." Ning Chenxin shook his head and said with a smile: "Now that I have helped you, you have to answer my questions, okay?"
The young man hesitated but nodded and said, "Then come to my house."
After saying that, he led Ning Chenxin into a small house made of stones.
The boy moved a worn-out chair and placed it in front of Ning Chenxin. After Ning Chenxin sat down, he looked around and saw nothing related to Buddhism, so he asked, "It seems that everyone here is a Buddhist believer. What about you?"
"I'm not, but they often persuade us to believe in Buddhism."
"Then do you know why they are so obsessed with Buddhism?" Ning Chenxin asked in confusion, "This kind of thing definitely didn't happen suddenly, did it?"
The boy nodded and said, "I don't know the details. I only know that my grandfather once told me that a bald donkey came to Hantu Village and taught some things. At that time, most people in Hantu Village began to believe in Buddhism."
Teach something?
Just when Ning Chenxin hadn't figured out anything.
There was a sound of a big bell outside.
Ning Chenxin was about to go out to see the situation, but was stopped by the boy, saying, "Don't go out. This is the time for the village to chant scriptures and worship Buddha collectively."
Chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha collectively?
Ning Chenxin frowned slightly.
Even this marginal area has become so fanatical?
This situation is too abnormal.
Ning Chenxin didn't go out, but watched the situation outside through perception.
At the entrance of Hantu Village, there was a huge Buddha statue as tall as a person. The village chief took the lead in sitting cross-legged on a cushion and chanting scriptures, and then kowtowed.
Strands of faith power flew out from their heads and flowed into the Buddha statue...
