Chapter 697 Monk Shenxiao!

In the world of Journey to the West, no matter how wild you are, there are no great supernatural powers that can be on par with them.

For example, the master behind Sun Wukong, everyone knew that there was a great supernatural power who taught him his true skills, but they all tacitly tacitly refused to get to the bottom of it, because they knew that those old guys were not easy to mess with.

But even so, why do they huddle under the shadow of heaven and dare not show their heads? This is the absolute dominance of the divine and Buddhist system.

Whoever dares to show his face will face the two Heavenly Palaces headed by the East and West, and several Golden Immortal Assistants.

Then there were dozens or hundreds of gods and celestial beings, as well as countless earthly immortals, human immortals, and ghost immortals.

But the meaning of the existence of the divine and Buddhist system is to serve the superior gods.

Instead of serving the system at the top, the great supernatural powers will never give up their existing good life for the bottom.

And once there is no strong computing power support provided by those with great supernatural powers, the role of the magic of magic will be greatly reduced, and it will not be able to cover the entire system of gods and Buddhas.

Of course, it would be no problem for the gods and Buddhas to build a small LAN server by themselves and only manage their own believers and sect disciples.

However, in this case, how can it compete with the large-scale magical power network that has many top powers as magical power databases?

You know, when paying the same amount of spiritual energy, why don't people use the power of powerful beings such as the Queen Mother of the West, but instead borrow the power of a little god from the upper world?

The Queen Mother of the West can say without euphemism: This magic of inviting gods is simply to completely remove the foundation of Xitian Palace’s faith!

The power system of Xitian Palace Buddhism focuses on the word "enlightenment", the "enlightenment" of great enlightenment.

To put it bluntly, it requires monks to make selfless contributions without reservation.

With firm faith, he willingly squeezes his own spiritual energy and dedicates it to gods and Buddhas.

In essence, this method is similar to issuing national bonds - all sentient beings first gather their spiritual energy to help me become a Buddha, and then in turn give back to all sentient beings after I successfully achieve enlightenment.

To put it simply, in this life, you will serve as cattle and horses to support me. In the next life, I will extradite you to become a Buddha.

In the eyes of a knowledgeable god, this is just trying to trick people into treating themselves like bullshit.

After all, after arriving in the underworld and rolling around in that hell, all the past life and the past life have been blown away, and even the destiny that one carries has been wiped out. What is left?

Souls with no background connections will have a fart afterlife, and they will all be new people in white bodies in the next life. For such people who have no afterlife, the Buddha naturally does not need to fulfill his promise to help them become Buddhas.

To put it bluntly: I am Buddha~~, although I cannot repay the debt, I can kill the creditor!

But Xiao’s magic of inviting gods is an interest exchange system that is completely opposite to the belief system. In Xiao’s words:

I don’t want your spiritual essence, but I want to use your spiritual essence to do your things~

This approach may not yield as much spiritual energy from a single person as the previous faith, but it cannot hold up to a huge body!

And it’s real, the benefits are visible to the common people.

No matter how you look at it, it is more attractive than the Buddhist approach of first becoming a sentient being, then simply making sacrifices to others, and only cultivating the afterlife.

…

…

“It’s time for this world where theocracy (slavery) is rampant to feel the fear of being dominated by capital.”

While the Queen Mother of the West was still shocked by the energy of the magic,

Xiao has transformed into a young novice monk named Shen Xiao, and has resolutely embarked on the road of preaching.

Xiaoxitian is located at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, and the place is naturally filled with a very strong Buddhist atmosphere.

The vast majority of people living here are destined to become devout Buddhist believers from the moment they are born.

Children have been taught about belief in the Buddha since they were young. Although they do not know why, everyone around them tells them that they must believe in it.

Among them, the most famous thing in Xiaoxitian is the magnificent Thousand Buddha Temple, which is regarded by the locals as the pure land of Buddhism on earth.

Many monks also come here like pilgrims, just to see the magnificence and majesty of Thousand Buddha Temple.

For monks, it is undoubtedly a great honor and pride to be lucky enough to visit Qianfo Temple.

It is precisely this rich Buddhist atmosphere that has attracted a large number of foreign monks to Xiaoxitian.

However, the compassion of our Buddha never saves those who have no origin.

As the saying goes, "The Dharma should not be taught lightly." If you want to enter a temple and practice it with concentration, you first need to pay an entry fee of five taels of silver, so that you can enter the Buddhist nunnery as a low-level disciple.

As for a penniless and impoverished little novice monk like Xiao's incarnation, it is a luxury to even get a little closer, not to mention entering the solemn and sacred gate of the temple.

However, faced with such a predicament, Xiao did not leave. Instead, he personally built a simple house on a hilltop not far from Qianfo Temple and settled down here.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao began to live as an ascetic day after day in that simple residence.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the dilapidated window lattice, Xiao has already stood up, picked up a heavy bucket, and headed to a distant water source to fetch water.

After coming back, he would pick up the ax to chop wood, make rice, and

After dinner, Xiao would sit quietly on a futon made by himself in the shabby room, meditating and chanting sutras.

After finishing his daily homework, he would go to the streets to beg for alms, give sermons to passers-by, and help poor people with their work.

Whenever night falls, Xiao will use his own hands to carve Buddha statues. These Buddha statues may be solemn or solemn, or compassionate and peaceful, and each one is filled with his deep respect for Buddhism.

The humble room where he lived gradually became tidy and became somewhat like a temple under his constant efforts.

In this Xiaoxitian, which is full of strong Buddhist atmosphere, ascetics like Xiao will be respected and admired by people wherever they go.

Whenever anyone sees him, they will greet him respectfully.

However, although everyone respects him, not many people really pay attention to him.

Most people just think that Xiao is an ordinary monk who yearns for Buddhism wholeheartedly but fails to enter Qianfo Temple due to various opportunities.

However, as time went by, the situation gradually changed.

But if you do something for a long time, people will eventually notice it, and as the hut becomes more and more complete, it gradually begins to look like a Buddhist temple.

Xiao's reputation in Xiaoxitian became more and more famous, and he was gradually hailed as a master.

Almost everyone knows that there is such a respected and philanthropic monk here who is willing to preach to people of all social classes.
