Chapter 225: A Temple without Buddha Statues - Chanyin Temple
"Hehe, how many spirit stones do we need to go to Cangwu City?"
"Six thousand low-grade spirit stones. Ye Yan"
The middle-aged man responded decisively. He didn't know why the senior didn't use a spirit beast bag. These two spirit beasts were obviously not large spirit beasts for transporting goods.
But in front of the senior, he didn't dare to say much. He just had to follow the rules.
So many? !
They all felt nervous, and Xiao Chi had no idea about spirit stones, but he had never seen so many spirit stones.
"My friend, can you take four thousand spirit stones?"
"To be honest with you, this is the price set by the Lingshu Chamber of Commerce. I can't make the decision."
The middle-aged man was sweating and couldn't help complaining in his heart. How could you bargain while sitting in a teleportation array? "I hope you won't make things difficult for me."
"Of course." Chen Xun frowned and handed the low-grade spirit stone to his storage ring.
"Senior, please."
"Okay."
Chen Xun nodded. Big Black Bull looked curiously at the teleportation array under his feet. It seemed that some special materials were needed. Little Chi's forehead was slightly sweaty. Is the teleportation array safe?
The middle-aged man crossed his palms and fingers and quickly made a gesture. The teleportation array flashed a fierce light. In the blink of an eye, three figures disappeared here.
...
Cangwu City, the largest city in Huoyuanzhou, is famous throughout the state. Many great cultivators have come out. The noise in the city is deafening, and big auctions are held from time to time.
As far as the eye can see, the city is full of cultivators. There are several great secret realms around Cangwu City alone, not to mention the entire Huoyuanzhou, where some ancient secret realms emerge from time to time.
The resources of Dali for cultivating immortals are rich, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is vast. The bottom cultivators have the opportunity to embark on the road of cultivating immortals, and the road up and down has never been cut off.
Chen Xun and his friends did not stay for any longer. They had a plan in mind, so they did not wander around.
He handed over another 600 medium-grade spirit stones and headed for Dinghuizhou, one of the ten states governed by Buddhism.
Big Black Bull was so excited that his pores were trembling, and Little Chi was still panicking. He didn't know what Buddhism was. Was it different from a cultivator?
Chen Xun felt as if his heart had been hit hard. When he was out, although spirit stones were not omnipotent, he could not live without them.
They stood in the teleportation array and could clearly feel the pulling force of space. Their hearts were empty and they left Huoyuanzhou in an instant.
In Dinghuizhou, monks can be seen everywhere. Buddhism is flourishing, and the people are also quite devoted to Buddhism. They worship Buddha statues at home.
There are many treasure mountains in the state, on which are built grand Buddha statues. From time to time, you can see the Buddha's light shining, showing the world, and those who see it are safe and happy, smooth and worry-free.
Whether it is mortals or Buddhist cultivators in the state, there will be pilgrimages every year, and they are extremely pious. Whether it is in the city or outside the city, Buddhist temples are common.
They officially started wandering, visiting temples everywhere, paying homage to various Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, and spending a lot of spiritual stones.
Xiao Chi also became more and more relaxed. These monks were pretty good, not so murderous, but they spoke in a mysterious way, and it was not very understandable.
One year later.
Chen Xun was confused, and donated a lot of incense and spiritual stones. The Buddhas believed in by these temples were very different. He had recorded hundreds of them in his booklet.
It was the first time he saw that Buddhism was believed in more than him? !
There was no unity with such a variety of beliefs. The temples in each city also had disputes over Taoism. They often encountered literary disputes, which had a taste of "a hundred schools of thought".
Is your Buddha more trustworthy, or is my Buddha better?
Even the people in each city were the same. It really opened their eyes. It was completely different from the Buddhist practice they imagined in their hearts.
Even the super power of Dali, the Pure Buddha Sect, said that they had no way to deal with this. Of course, they still felt that their own Buddha was the true ancestor of all Buddhas.
This has led to the fact that although there is no fighting among the Buddhists in the ten states, there are disputes over Taoism everywhere. Once the Tao heart is broken, the road to immortality is truly cut off, which is more terrifying than fighting.
Every hundred years, there is a Buddhist conference in the ten states, but the results are quite cruel. Either many Buddhists break their defenses and go astray, and their cultivation will never improve again, or they are directly carried away and die peacefully.
The big black bull visited many temples, and his doubts were increasing. These masters had too many mysterious sayings, and they began to doubt themselves.
Today.
The air is cool, the sun has not risen yet, and the sky is as quiet as a mirror, as if it can reflect the entire earth.
Three figures walked on the path outside the city. They have completely lost their way and walked with fate.
"Brother Xun, Brother Niu, the food of those monks seems pretty good, all of them are monsters in the foundation-building stage."
Xiao Chi shook his tail, recalling the experience of several large temples, "I didn't even dare to think about it when I was in the foundation-building stage in the Tianduan Plain."
"Moo~" Big Black Bull responded perfunctorily, with a deep face, still thinking about merit.
Chen Xun held a wooden stick in his hand and poked Xiao Chi: "Others are Buddhist practitioners, not ordinary people. If there is an opportunity to improve their cultivation, they must seize it."
Xiao Chi shrank when he was poked, and ran under the belly of Big Black Bull again.
"Old Bull, how is it?"
"Moo~" Big Black Bull shook his head, not very satisfied in his heart.
"See more, anyway, we have donated so much incense money, everything has been arranged, these hundreds of Buddhas must bless us!"
"Moo?!" Big Black Bull arched Chen Xun, his face full of surprise.
"Hehe, don't you, Ximen Heiniu, believe what I said?"
"Moo~~~"
The big black cow blew out a long breath and raised its hind hooves. This thought made sense. Chen Xun was indeed very smart.
They walked for two more days and came to the foot of a mountain. Under the pale sky, the mountains were as black as iron, solemn and solemn.
At the same time, I also saw a dilapidated temple, Zenyin Temple, on a hill with pleasant scenery.
And this was not the reason why they stopped. The real reason was that when Chen Xun's consciousness dispersed, there was no Buddha statue in the temple and there were only a few people inside.
"Oh, that's interesting."
Chen Xun raised his brows and said, "That abbot is actually a monk at the Golden Core stage, how can he live here?"
"Moo Moo?" The big black bull also opened his spiritual aperture and glanced away. There were six people in this temple, but without exception, they were all golden elixir stage monks!
But except for the abbot, who was wearing a shabby cassock, there was only one person wearing ordinary blue monk's robes and with a bald head.
The remaining four people were not wearing monk's robes. Some were playing chess with themselves, some were carrying water, and some were practicing. They seemed quite casual.
"Brother Xun, Brother Niu, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster!"
Xiao Chi's eyes were blazing. Along the way, it had also gained a lot of knowledge. How could it be like Jin Danxiu? "I think this place is too dangerous."
"Moo?" The big black cow lowered his head and looked at Xiao Chi, who had a serious face under his belly.
"Well, that makes sense."
"Haha, Brother Xun, you think so too."
Xiao Chi laughed out loud, with a proud look on his face, "So, let's go back to the past..."
"Brother Niu!!!"
Before it could finish its words, the big black bull took it out in its mouth, struggling wildly and screaming.
"Old Niu, are there any traces of the formation here?"
"Moo~"
The big black cow shook its head and grinned. It had already inspected it just now, and there was no trace of the formation. It was not an evil temple.
They completely ignored Xiao Chi, who kept screaming, and began to talk among themselves.
After burning the incense, Chen Xun said with a smile: "Let's go and visit. The golden elixir stage will not pose any danger to us."
"Moo~~" Da Hei Niu was also a little curious as to why there was no Buddha statue here.
Xiao Chi lay limply on the big black bull. It was really afraid of the humans at the Golden Core stage, and it didn't know if it would be seen as heeling.
They walked slowly and leisurely towards the mountain. The mountains were filled with clouds and mist, and the thick white fog drifted in the wind. They were surrounded by rugged rocks and lush crane trees.
The scenery here is indeed quite good and refreshing.
At this time, in the temple, the man who was playing chess with him had a sunspot in his hand that had not yet fallen, and he said softly "Eh".
The man slowly looked down the mountain, but his expression remained gentle and calm, like white clouds rolling in the sky.
