I'm a scumbag

Chapter 391 Starfire
Since Liao Jingyuan herself agreed, Ning Chen had nothing to say.

Send Liao Jingyuan to the city with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Liao Jingyuan also bowed to Ning Chen and said, "Student, I will definitely live up to the champion's trust."

Ning Chen responded to Liao Jingyuan: "When you come back from your achievements, you will be a Buddhist disciple."

"Thank you, Mr. Champion."

Ning Chen received a bow from Liao Jingyuan, and then said to Qingyuan: "Take care of him, he is also part of your practice."

Qingyuan clasped his palms together and saluted, "Yes."

After a pause, Ning Chen said to Qingyuan: "You can take disciples along the way, no matter if they are monsters or people, as long as you think they have the roots of wisdom."

When the topic changed, Ning Chen said seriously: "But remember, even the disciples and the mounts, the total number should not exceed five."

Qingyuan was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

Ning Chen was too lazy to explain his thoughts to Qingyuan, but said perfunctorily: "This is a secret, don't let it out, you just need to remember it."

Since it is a secret, then Qingyuan will not ask.

"Go. When you come back with enlightenment, I will teach you the Mahayana Buddhism, so that you can open an altar to teach the Dharma in the Daleiyin Temple in the territory of the Wu Dynasty." Ning Chen waved his hand.

Qingyuan clasped his palms together again, and bid farewell to Ning Chen.

Liao Jingyuan also cupped her fists and saluted Ning Chen.

After the two of them walked away, Mu Die finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Ning Chen, "Why can't the number exceed five? Is there really any secret to this?"

Ning Chen couldn't explain anything to his junior sister, so he didn't explain at all, and replied perfunctorily: "There is no secret, five is my lucky number."

Such an answer, for Mu Die, was enough to satisfy her.

Mu Die didn't expect to get any accurate answer at first, she just wanted to confirm her guess.

Let Ning Chen admit that this is not a secret.

The matter of Mahayana Buddhism is considered to be confirmed and opened.

Ning Chen is not sure whether the combination of Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan can successfully promote Mahayana Buddhism.

But at least, the results shouldn't be too bad.

On my side, I should start writing Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.

If they didn't wait for Qingyuan and the others to come back to find him, but they found nothing, then he would be embarrassed.

Aside from Ning Chen's side, Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan's side, after more than ten days of trekking, finally re-entered the territory of the Western Regions.

Because the Wu Dynasty's offensive stopped, the Buddhist kingdoms controlled by the Western Regions were rapidly recovering.

The lords of those Buddhist kingdoms are also quickly restraining people's hearts, and at the same time they have to re-select new monks and soldiers.

It's just that the temple that was supposed to be located at the link, but now there will no longer be resident monks.

The Wu Dynasty gave up the big offensive, but they will still clear up the temples scattered in the mountains and forests at fixed points.

The Wu Dynasty knew very well that these temples scattered at the junctions were the overlords behind these Buddhist kingdoms.

Only by containing them can the recovery of these Buddhist countries be contained.

Because Qingyuan is dressed as a monk, so it is only a simple interrogation, and after confirming that it is indeed a monk, it is released.

Liao Jingyuan's words, because they were brought by Qingyuan, did not embarrass Liao Jingyuan too much, so they let two people into the city.

It was also the first time for Liao Jingyuan to enter the Buddhist kingdom controlled by Leiyin Temple.

The first time he entered Liao Jingyuan, it was inevitable that he had to observe carefully, so as to know himself and the enemy, so as to better complete the task assigned to him by the champion.

Qingyuan didn't disturb Liao Jingyuan's observation, the two walked all the way, and when they were about to reach the end of the street, Qingyuan finally asked Liao Jingyuan: "What do you think of this place?"

Liao Jingyuan replied casually: "It's quite peaceful."

After waiting for a while, Qingyuan saw that there was no further comment, and continued to ask: "Is it just peace?"

Liao Jingyuan looked at Qingyuan, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Apart from peace, what else do you want? As long as there is peace, it is the best in your eyes."

Qingyuan was silenced by Liao Jingyuan's words.

"You still haven't changed your mind, Mr. Champion said, now you are just one of the crowd.

This oneness is not only physical, but also soul and mind synchronization.

If you still look at it as a Bodhisattva of the second rank, this kind of peace is naturally good.

But if you are a person on this street, look at this peace, is it okay? "

Liao Jingyuan continued to Qingyuan, saying: "Look at the people on this street, do they still have expressions?

You don't think they have lost their souls, they can only show peace. "

Qingyuan observed carefully and found that the people walking on this street were really like walking corpses.

Nothing but peace.

Qingyuan thought about it seriously, if he was really one of them, Qingyuan should not be willing.

Qingyuan continued to ask Liao Jingyuan for advice: "So do you think this is a shortcoming of Hinayana Buddhism?"

Liao Jingyuan shook her head and said, "I don't think this is a shortcoming of Theravada Buddhism, I think it is a shortcoming of people who practice Theravada Buddhism."

Liao Jingyuan's answer was somewhat beyond Qingyuan's expectation.

"Why do you say that?"

Liao Jingyuan said: "The Hinayana Buddhism emphasizes crossing oneself, which is like a boat that can only carry one person.

Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes ferrying people, which is like a big boat that can carry many people.

In fact, whether it is a small boat or a big boat, it is ultimately a ferry.

If you're just crossing yourself, that's fine.

But while you are saving yourself, you must also save others.

You don't let the people you're crossing get on board, but let them pull and push the boat for you.

So you think it's the ship's fault, or the people's fault. "

The example given by Liao Jingyuan is very vivid, and Qingyuan really listened to it.

"It's human's fault." Qingyuan gave his answer very clearly.

After answering, Qingyuan bowed deeply to Liao Jingyuan.

Liao Jingyuan accepted Qingyuan's gift calmly.

"Then do you think what we should do now is to spread the Dharma, or should we kill the people on the boat of Theravada Buddhism?" Qingyuan continued to ask Liao Jingyuan.

Liao Jingyuan must be more inclined to directly kill the current bodhisattvas.

But Liao Jingyuan knew that this was not Ning Chen's plan.

"The plan given to us by Mr. Champion is the best plan, and we shouldn't doubt that." Liao Jingyuan said clearly.

"Amitabha. Then we will act according to what the champion said."

"The next thing the benefactor thinks of us, how should we start?"

Although Qingyuan's cultivation base has improved now, Qingyuan only has strength in vain.

He had never been alone before.

In the past, he was just a little monk who followed the master.

He will do what the master says.

Really let him decide what to do, but he has no idea.

Fortunately, there is Liao Jingyuan, who can come up with an idea.

Liao Jingyuan thought for a while, and said: "We should use your current status as a monk to open an altar to teach the Dharma.

This is the fastest way to spread Mahayana Buddhism.

Let's go to this city as the first stop, and first talk about the Mahayana Buddhism for three days and three nights.

Then go to the next place, walking down one by one like this will definitely influence many people to follow the Mahayana Dharma. "

"Okay." Qingyuan didn't directly reject Liao Jingyuan's idea, but followed Liao Jingyuan's suggestion.

Dressed up as a divine monk like Qingyuan, it is very easy to find a place in the city to teach the Fa.

Just need to implement some very simple processes.

After confirming the time and place, Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan also found a place to rest in the city.

When it was time to lecture, Qingyuan appeared on the altar on time.

Under the altar, there were already dense crowds of people sitting cross-legged on the ground, waiting quietly for Jingyuan to come out to give a lecture.

It is necessary to listen to the lectures here, and to listen actively.

Otherwise, you will be severely punished.

Qingyuan had experienced this kind of lecture countless times before.

But after several days of observation and personal experience, Qingyuan felt that this form was very uncomfortable.

It's just that Qingyuan didn't refuse, but started the first lecture of Mahayana Buddhism on the land of the Western Regions.

Qingyuan first read the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" to everyone.

Then Qingyuan began to give lectures formally.

It's just that after Qingyuan said a few words, the people below couldn't sit still.

Because the scriptures taught by Qingyuan are completely different from what they are exposed to in daily life.

The discussion below is getting louder and louder, but Qingyuan has no intention of stopping.

He was still teaching the scriptures and teaching the Fa at his own pace.

The discussion here soon attracted the attention of city patrols.

It's just that Xuncheng didn't immediately come up to interrupt Qingyuan, nor did he take Qingyuan away.

This is also entirely because of the identity of Qingyuan monk.

No matter what Qingyuan is talking about, they can't easily catch Qingyuan.

Because they are not sure whether what Qingyuan is talking about is the latest scripture passed down by Leiyin Temple.

Following Qingyuan's in-depth explanation, the original voices of discussion below disappeared a little bit.

In the end, everyone quietly sat cross-legged and returned to their original positions, and began to listen to Qingyuan's lecture again.

For the next three days, Qingyuan sat here day and night, preaching scriptures to everyone in the city.

During this process, Qingyuan did not use a single bit of his original cultivation.

He is just like an ordinary person, sitting here, speaking to everyone.

And on the first day after the lecture, Qingyuan really felt the hardship and hunger like ordinary people.

Qingyuan has not experienced such hunger and cold for a long time.

But Qingyuan is also in this process, and understands more clearly what sentient beings are.

And what are the needs of all living beings.

On the second day, during the lecture, Qingyuan discovered that his mana had accumulated little by little.

This kind of accumulation is not the mana in the original body, which has been rejuvenated.

Instead, new mana is accumulating.

It's just that Qingyuan still kept in mind what Ning Chen said, and he still chose to seal these mana.

Let yourself continue to maintain the appearance of an ordinary person and continue to preach the scriptures.

In the course of these three days, more and more people listened to the scriptures below.

At the beginning, the people who came on the first day all came on the second day.

At the same time, many newcomers joined in.

By the evening of the second day, the number of people who came to listen to the scriptures had already reached almost one-third of the city's population.

You must know that this is a situation where there is no mandatory requirement in Qingyuan. They came to listen to the scriptures on their own initiative.

And on the night of the third day, more than two-thirds of the people in the city had come.

Even the king of the city and some nobles from the palace appeared on the scene.

After Qingyuan finished speaking the scriptures on the third day, he also got up and prepared to leave here with Liao Jingyuan.

This is also something that the two of them have discussed long ago.

In one place, just stay for three days, and then go to another place.

Just when Qingyuan and the others were about to leave, the king stopped Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan.

The king asked Qingyuan for advice with an extremely respectful attitude: "Master, I would like to ask, what is the origin of this scripture, can I ask you to continue to preach the scripture for another three days."

Qingyuan said: "This is Mahayana Buddhism. I have been teaching for three days, and now it's time to go to other places to teach."

After Qingyuan finished speaking, he bypassed the king with Liao Jingyuan and continued to walk outside.

And after Qingyuan said the words Mahayana Buddhism, the king froze in place.

Not only the king, but all the ministers in this Buddhist kingdom were stunned.

Is this Mahayana Buddhism? !
Leiyin Temple strictly ordered that the evil heresy must be eradicated after discovery.

But this Mahayana Buddhism sounds like there is no heresy at all.

On the contrary, it has a clearer explanation of Buddha.

At the same time, in Mahayana Buddhism, there is a clearer positioning for them.

Let them also see hope, and let them discover their own role and value.

It can be said that this Mahayana Buddhism really points out the way forward for them to practice.

"Whether the king wants to capture the two of them back, they should be ordinary people with no magic power." Someone next to him suggested to the king.

After hearing this suggestion, the king was silent for a moment, and said, "We didn't catch up with them."

The minister next to him, after hearing this, immediately understood.

It's not that we didn't catch up, it's just that we didn't catch up.

In fact, people in these Buddhist countries also have a heart to cultivate Buddhism.

If not, can they go directly to Wu Dynasty?

But despite their intentions, they have always found that all their efforts did not bring them closer to the Buddha, but made them farther away from the Buddha.

But Mahayana Buddhism is different.

In Mahayana Buddhism, the Buddha is by their side, and they also have the spirituality and understanding to become Buddhas.

That's what they're really after.

It's just that they don't have the ability to turn against Leiyin Temple now.

So what they can do is to let Qingyuan and Liao Jingyuan leave.

In this way, let the two of them go to more places.

When Mahayana Buddhism truly flourishes, they can begin to practice Mahayana Buddhism openly and aboveboard.
