Chapter 264: Incense Makes You a God, a Dead End You Can See at a Glance

Half a year later, outside a small town in Dinghui Prefecture, Dali.

As far as the eye can see, there is endless yellow sand. There are few people here, and a temple stands alone on the green mountain.

The pond and garden are desolate, and the wild geese fly far away. There is no one on the incense path, and the moss and yellow dust are full.

The setting sun is like blood, and the sky is about to lose its last excitement and is full of sadness.

Three figures appeared at the foot of the mountain. Time is ruthless, and this place has changed a lot. There is no vitality in the Chanyin Temple anymore, as if only two people are left.

The abbot sat in the temple with his eyes slightly closed and his lips tightly closed. The eldest disciple stood outside the temple, with a dull look in his eyes.

A dim lantern in his hand fluttered in the wind, and the remaining glimmer seemed to be extinguished at any time.

Chen Xun frowned slightly. He had heard many bad rumors along the way.

The bloody smell in the ten Buddhist states of Dali was extremely strong. This seemed to be the last place to live.

"Moo~" Big Black Bull let out a low cry and looked at Chen Xun.

Little Chi's eyes rolled around, lying on Big Black Bull without saying a word. Brother Xun was not in a good mood.

They walked slowly, leaving a trail of shadows in the mountains, and the breeze blowing past was even noisy.

In the temple, the bleak, confused and directionless wind was still blowing.

The abbot opened his closed eyes, which were extremely turbid. He could no longer see the clearness and brightness, and his whole body was filled with a sense of dusk.

He slowly stood up, put his hands together, walked out of the hall step by step, and smiled: "Donor, I disappoint you."

Chen Xun was far away from him and said loudly: "Abbot, I haven't seen you for many years, and your demeanor is not as good as before."

Big Black Bull and Little Chi nodded silently beside him. The abbot seemed to have become a different person, and there was no longer that kind of wisdom in his eyes.

"Haha, please come in, benefactor." The abbot smiled and turned sideways, his face peaceful, "I haven't seen you for many years, you are still as elegant as ever."

Chen Xun laughed, took a step forward, and looked at the eldest disciple for a second. The latter was unmoved, just standing outside and bowing his head slightly, his cultivation was stuck in the late stage of Jindan.

In the hall.

Chen Xun sat opposite the abbot, and Da Hei Niu and Xiao Chi squatted beside them, just like in the past, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes, what exactly is the Buddha Dan.

"Abbot, we came here for no other purpose this time, just to see this peerless genius of Buddhism."

Chen Xun's face was cheerful and unusually relaxed, "I didn't expect the abbot to have such a broad mind, and his obsession was to break the Dao heart of Buddhism in the ten states of Dali and open up a way forward for Buddhist cultivation."

He was slightly shocked in his heart, and he had heard many legendary stories about the abbot along the way.

This is like being an enemy of the cultivators in the world, being in the center of the eye of the storm, he would never do such a thing.

"Donor, it's not true." The abbot sighed and shook his head. "Everyone knows that I discussed the Dao with Qi Ji Bodhisattva of the Pure Buddha Sect, but no one knows the result."

"Moo~" The big black bull stared with his eyes. It was very interested in Buddhism and liked to listen to these stories.

"Oh?" Chen Xun was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"In the end, nothing was gained. Buddhist practitioners are all suffering. I can't change anything by myself."

The abbot's turbid eyes were a little absent-minded, as if he was talking to himself, "Buddhist practitioners have the way to become gods through incense and fire, and they are free outside Dali, but they are also self-contained, and even have no heart to be a cultivator. The road ahead is dead."

This is also the reason why many forces are concerned, whether Buddhism should exist in Dali.

These Buddhist practitioners are too strange, they are already a country within a country. They don't go out to experience, never communicate with the outside world, and just guard the ten states.

"Incense becomes a god..." Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu looked at each other, "Abbot, what is that?"

"Da Li has no method to cultivate spiritual consciousness. If a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage wants to be promoted to the God of Transformation, he must step into the Heavenly Gate, which is also for the defense and exploration of my world of immortal cultivation."

The abbot lowered his head, his mood was quite low, "But it's different for Buddhists. Incense becomes a god is also a method to cultivate spiritual consciousness, and Buddhists can rely on it to be promoted to the God of Transformation."

"So my Da Li Buddhists never step into the Heavenly Gate, and are trapped in the Ten States, worshipping the various Buddhas and cultivating the power of incense."

"So that's it."

Chen Xun nodded, a little confused, "Abbot, let me say one more thing, you are a peerless genius, but if you are an ordinary immortal cultivator, it's actually very good to be able to reach the God of Transformation."

"Moo~" Da Hei Niu also nodded. They all came from poor immortal cultivation talents. Along the way, ordinary people can be thankful if they can cultivate to the Nascent Soul.

Their old friends all failed due to their talent and realm. If there is such a way, Chen Xun will definitely let them practice. This is a shortcut.

"Donors don't know that the road to becoming a god through incense can only be practiced in the late stage of Yuanying. If you fail, you will become a faceless Buddha statue and lose consciousness. They call it "attainment of the Tao", and there are very few who succeed."

The abbot's face was covered with a trace of sorrow, "If you can break through the transformation of the gods, you will also be infected by the power of incense when you pass the great catastrophe of the heart demon, and you will be trapped in the incense for life and cannot leave the scope of Buddhist incense."

Why do immortal cultivators practice immortality? It is for the endless road ahead. Even if they are limited by talent and opportunity, they will die without regrets.

But these Buddhist cultivators did not fall on the road ahead, but walked on a dead end, a dead end that can be seen at a glance, which is contrary to the meaning of cultivating immortals.

"Oh my." Chen Xun was shocked. Isn't this losing freedom? ! Then what's the point of practicing Buddhism?

Big Black Bull's scalp was numb. If this was true, what was the point of living? He and his elder brother might commit suicide.

Little Chi looked as if he had suddenly realized something. He thought it was good. This was safe and he could live to the end of his life.

"And this kind of cultivation method has long been rooted in the hearts of those talented Buddhist cultivators. Their road ahead can be seen at the end at a glance. I am also a Buddhist cultivator. How can I bear it?!"

The abbot's Xianghe expression became a little sharp, "The path of leaving Buddhism is wrong, and the path of incense and becoming a god is a dead end. I don't want to see these Buddhist cultivators go further and further down the wrong path."

"I never care about my own cultivation, whether I can break through the realm and gain that long life."

The abbot's emotions fluctuated abnormally, with worries about Buddhism in his eyes and laments about the fate of Buddhist cultivators, "Donor, can you understand?"

Chen Xun was shocked. This was the first time he saw the abbot look like this. He had always been very well-educated.

But then I thought about it, the big black cow stared with big eyes, and suddenly shouted:

"Moo?"

"Um?"

Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu suddenly frowned. Why did this sentence feel familiar...

Xiao Chi looked at the two eldest brothers blankly, feeling that something was wrong.

"According to what the abbot said, this is not an obsession in your heart." Chen Xun's expression became calmer again, "It seems that the obsession in the abbot's heart is somewhat beyond my imagination."

"Donor, the way forward is right by the Tianhe..."

"Moo!!" The big black cow screamed and stood up.

Chen Xun's eyes narrowed and he stood up slowly: "Abbott, I know this road. Is it related to the ancient war? The Forbidden Sea Legacy is now participating in the war, and what is that ugly life?!"

According to the information gathered along the way, this abbot's origins are so great that even Buddhist cultivators from ten states and even the Bodhisattva Transformation dare not touch him!

A feeling of horror arose in Xiao Chi's heart, and he felt like he was about to come into contact with some huge secret.

quiet.

When Chen Xun asked this question, the hall became unusually quiet, and even the sound of breathing disappeared.

The abbot's cloudy eyes were gradually changing, his cassock moved without any wind, and his breath became colder and colder.

Chen Xun stared at the abbot intently. These questions had been in his mind for a long time and were closely related to their future.
