Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 230 First visit to the temple
"Don't inform others when you leave, and don't leave any traces."

Chen Yuan recalled what Gui Shou said in his heart and stood outside Jinfeng's palace and hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he still did not ask Guishou Lingzun whether he had calculated that he could descend to the world.

After all, if you go up and ask, it is very likely that Guoshou can't figure out the question originally, but he will be able to figure it out after asking.

The divination turtle's effect of concealing heavenly secrets is activated, and the fire cloud escapes from the mountain gate.

Then it changed to red gold sword light and flew quietly to the west.

He planned to go to the west border first, pass through the south border, then enter the east border, and finally return to the north border.

As for the middle realm, unless he breaks through the Seven-Tails in his cultivation, then he should consider a trip to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.

After flying for six hours, they passed through the realm of Tianjian Mountain and found that most of them were sword cultivators.

"After collecting the materials, you can travel to the realm of Tianjian Mountain. It should be helpful to improve your swordsmanship."

After muttering to himself, he flew out of the realm of Tianjian Mountain and came to the endless sky.

Remembering that he was attacked by Fang Lianwan shortly after leaving the northern border last time, Chen Yuan was cautious this time.

Instead of flying through the sky, he used Fire Cloud Escape to move directly to the Western Territory.

If you don't pass through the sky, and there is a divination turtle hiding the secret, you won't be targeted again this time.

While thinking to himself, he looked at the Western Territory, which was relatively flat but somewhat barren compared to the Northern Territory, and couldn't help but smile and look forward to it.

After so many years in this world, he finally began to travel around the world alone!

······
In the moist dense forest, colorful poisonous mist filled the air, blending with the rich spiritual energy.

It forms strange shapes one after another, sometimes turning into a toad, sometimes turning into a centipede, sometimes turning into a scorpion, sometimes turning into a gecko, sometimes turning into a poisonous snake, and so on.

Suddenly, a middle-aged scholar appeared in front of this strange poisonous mist.

With a pale face, he frowned subconsciously as he looked at the poisonous mist, took out a handkerchief that exuded ice spiritual power and covered his mouth and nose.

After standing in the air and waiting for a moment, watching the poisonous mist turn into the shape of a poisonous snake, he took out a willow leaf and penetrated it into the poisonous mist.

The emerald green willow leaves flew into the poisonous snake-like mist. The poisonous snake condensed in the mist immediately lit up its eyes, then spit out the snake letter, stared at the middle-aged scholar with cold eyes and said:
"What are you looking for me for?"

"Ahem, long time no see. Why don't you invite me in?"

"No need, my snakes and grandsons can't stand your tricks. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

"With you here, I wouldn't be able to use the art of disturbing my heart."

The middle-aged scholar said something, then smiled gently and said:
"It has been thousands of years since you and I left the Blue Heart Realm. Do you have any idea of ​​going back and taking a look?"

"Blue Heart Realm?"

The poisonous snake manifested in the poisonous mist narrowed its eyes slightly, then squirmed and transformed into a cold man wearing a green robe:

"Why do you suddenly want to go back?"

"Calculating the time, the man named Cao was plotted by you and me. After failing to ascend to the state and escaping to the underworld, he should be recovering soon. He has no choice but to refine the Six Paths of Reincarnation, drain the spiritual energy of the Blue Heart World, and prepare for his ascension. .”

"So fast?"

"I'm not happy. He ascended 300 years earlier than us. Now that 300 years have passed, it's probably been 4000 to [-] years in the Blue Heart Realm."

The cold man in green robe nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then asked:
"If that's the case, if you go back, will you stop him again?"

"It's natural. When you and I tried to block his path, we would have fought to the death. If he really refined the Six Paths of Reincarnation and ascended from the Blue Heart Realm to the Underworld, I don't need to explain how strong he would be by then. What?"

The man in green robe frowned when he heard this and said rather irritably:
"I shouldn't have listened to your temptations and let him ascend."

"Ahem, he was able to ascend from all over the country, taking with him one-ninth of the world's luck. If he were to succeed, there would be no possibility for you and me to ascend."

Seeing that the man in green robe was still a little dissatisfied, the middle-aged gentleman also frowned and said:

"Have you forgotten that back then, you and I both started from scratch? Unlike that weasel, we had someone to guide us in the upper world, so we didn't have to worry about ascension. And we are not like Granny Bai, who had all the luck in the world and could ascend with her eyes closed?"

"Today you have become the climate and the ancestor of the clan, have you forgotten how embarrassed you were by that man named Cao?"

Hearing this, the man in green robe seemed to be remembering the past, and a coldness flashed in his eyes:
"Huh, when are you going back?"

"As soon as you find a suitable body to seize the body, set off."

"Okay, let me go back and arrange it, and then I will go with you to find the body of the dead body."

The man in green robe nodded in agreement, and then turned into poisonous mist and dispersed.

The middle-aged man coughed while holding the ice handkerchief, with a stern look in his eyes:

"Huang Shangliang, Granny Bai, you two have been so lucky for so many years, it's time to completely cut off the inheritance."

······
Earthly Immortal Realm, Western Realm.

Walking in a large city, Chen Yuan looked at the temples and nunneries with red bricks and gold tiles, and then at the dilapidated and simple houses on the other side, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

At this time, the red brick and gold tile temple door opened, and a tall monk walked out, carrying buckets of white rice in his hands.

"Let's have dinner!"

The leading monk exhaled loudly, and the rolling sound waves immediately echoed in the city.

Following this pure Buddhist lion's roar, a large number of ordinary people suddenly walked out of the dilapidated and simple houses.

These ordinary people are simply dressed, their faces are sallow, and their expressions are peaceful but a little depressed.

They came to the temple in a leisurely manner, received the meals distributed by the monks, and then went back to their own rooms to eat without any fighting.

At this time the leading monk nodded and looked around.

Seeing Chen Yuan who didn't come forward to receive the meal, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

But when he checked with his spiritual consciousness, he found that Chen Yuan's cultivation was higher than him, and he immediately clasped his hands together and said:
"Amitabha, I wonder where the donor came from and where he wants to go?"

"Walkers travel around the world without asking where they came from. When passing through a treasure land, I saw the buildings here are so distinct, so I was a little curious."

Seeing that Chen Yuan was unwilling to tell him his origins, the monk did not dare to ask further questions and could only nod his head and said:

"The donor's free and easy attitude is admirable. Now is the meal time. Would the donor want to try the food from our temple?"

Chen Yuan thought for a while, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the temple.

After confirming that the one with the highest cultivation level was only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and equal to him, he nodded and said:

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders."

"Donor, please come with the young monk."

The monk looked slightly happy, turned around and led Chen Yuan into the temple.

But I saw that the temple was not only built with bricks and tiles, but it was also magnificent and neat.

Compared with the dilapidated and simple houses opposite, it is a stark contrast between wealth and poverty.The monk didn't take it seriously when he saw Chen Yuan looking at the temple. Instead, while transmitting a message to the abbot, he softly said:

"Does the donor think it's inappropriate that our temple is so magnificent, but ordinary people live in such shabby conditions?"

"It's not that I feel inappropriate, I'm just a little confused."

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, a monk wearing a bright red cassock walked up to Chen Yuan like a lotus:
"Amitabha, I have just decided to appoint Tian as the abbot of this temple. I wonder if the donor has any doubts?"

"My dear Yuan Chen, during my travels around the world, I have never seen ordinary people and practitioners living so close to each other, with only one street separating them. Judging from the state of these ordinary people, it seems that your temple has been supporting these people. ?”

Hearing Chen Yuan's question, the Gangding monk smiled and nodded:
"Yes, although we are only separated from ordinary people by a street, we can also be said to be separated by a lifetime of cause and effect."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Does the donor think it is a good thing to embark on the path of spiritual practice?"

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment: "It's not a good thing, but it's not a bad thing either."

"It seems that the donor has a rather strange view on spiritual practice. This temple believes that embarking on the path of spiritual practice is the karmic blessing of previous lives."

"Why do you say that?"

"Look, donor, once you enter the spiritual path, you will not be afraid of illness, heat, or cold. When you reach the realm of you and me, it will last for hundreds of years and be watched and worshiped by generations of people. Isn't this a good thing?"

"You can't say it forever. Once you enter the path of cultivation, you will be met with disasters. You and I will live for hundreds of years. Don't we have to survive the disasters to have such longevity?" Chen Yuan retorted with a slight frown.

"Heavenly tribulation is the only way to go, but if you practice my Buddha's method, even if it is a tribulation, you will be able to avoid it and be extra relaxed?"

"Oh? Where does this statement come from?"

Hearing Chen Yuan's question, Monk Gangding said with a smile:

"The donor doesn't know something. I am a Buddhist who does not kill or cause trouble. Therefore, cause and effect are difficult to determine. The number of catastrophes is even less. The path of cultivation is smooth, and the catastrophes that I have overcome are the simplest catastrophes."

"Just like when I became the Nascent Soul, I had to go through nineteen heavenly tribulations. Compared with the twenty-nine heavenly tribulations of those who are prone to killing and fighting for power, and are entangled in karma, isn't this much easier?"

That's because you are too weak and have little potential.

Chen Yuan looked at the Gangding monk with a strange expression, shook his head and said:

"The master has unique insights, and I think he has gained a lot of experience. However, I still don't understand why your temple has to support the ordinary people across from you like this?"

"Because they cannot enter the path of cultivation, they have no right to work. And I, the Buddha, are compassionate and do not want to see them starve to death, so I feed them."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows:

"Isn't that right? Your temple only supports ordinary people for the sake of offering incense to them, right?"

"The benefactors are very discerning, and this is indeed the reason. This temple supports them, and they provide incense and offerings. It can be regarded as a mutual benefit."

"Kegui Temple's behavior does not make those ordinary people lazy and incompetent?"

"What does it matter? As long as they provide incense and offerings, laziness and incompetence are their own karmic destiny."

"But the master just said that they cannot enter the path of spiritual practice, so they have no right to work. So who made the decision on whether they can enter the path of spiritual practice?"

"They decided it themselves." Monk Gangding replied with a smile.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, and said with some anger in his confusion: "Master, could you be having fun with it?"

"Donor, don't be impatient. The meal is already served. How about I wait and eat while we talk?"

Chen Yuan glanced at the fragrant rice that was obviously made from spiritual rice and spiritual plants, shook his head and said:
"I have something on my mind, but I can't eat anything."

Monk Gangding did not hesitate to hear the words. After picking up a bowl of rice, lotus flowers rose under his feet and said:
"That being the case, Donor Yuan is coming with me, and I will explain it to you in detail."

Chen Yuan nodded, and there was sword light surging under his feet. He followed Monk Gangding and flew slowly above the dilapidated and simple houses.

"Based on Donor Fang's cultivation, you should be able to tell what the people below are doing, right?"

Chen Yuan nodded. He didn't need to use his spiritual sense to detect. With only his keen five senses, he could hear the people in the house below doing certain exercises.

"When you are full and warm, you have lustful desires, and you are full and warm without having to work on your own. These people have nowhere to vent their energy. Isn't it human nature to be like this?"

"It is indeed human nature, but this temple has told everyone here that if you can insist on not messing with your sex for a hundred days, not bullying for a hundred days, not excreting randomly for a hundred days, and managing your own mind well, you can enter our temple to practice. "

After hearing this, Chen Yuan suddenly realized:
"I understand that your temple is using this to test the character of these people, but the master just said that we, the Buddha, are compassionate, so why do you just watch some people bullying others and ignore them?"

Monk Gangding said with a smile:
"One drink, one peck, everything is destined. How does the donor know that these people have not bullied others before they were bullied?"

"Master, what you mean is that these bullied people have bullied others?"

"If the donor doesn't believe it, you can ask them one by one."

Chen Yuan didn't waste any time. He started using the Magic Heart Technique and casually swung a large illusion skill down below.

The next moment, the ordinary people in the dilapidated and simple houses became confused.

Whether they are playing sports or bullying others, those who are suspected of being bullied will talk about the wrong things they have done with a dull expression.

Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness enveloped the area. After making sure that nothing was missing, he put away the illusion and nodded:
"Master's test method is somewhat interesting, but I still don't agree with it."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"The seven emotions and six desires of human nature are the most difficult to test. The master is so indulgent. It seems that he treats everyone equally, but in fact he has lost his true compassion."

"Then what is true compassion?"

"Master just heard these people's self-reports. Many of them were upset after being bullied, and then they bullied others in turn. If no one bullied them in the first place, many of them would not bully others."

"So what the master should do is to eliminate the initial evil instead of allowing it to grow."

"I don't agree with what the donor said. If someone bullies me, do I have to bully him back?"

"After enduring hardship for a hundred days, you can step into the path of spiritual practice. Then you will look back at those who bullied you, whether you are old, sick or dead, or who are afraid of cold or heat. That is the real winner."

"Since Master mentioned this, I would like to ask, are there any people who have never bullied others after being bullied, and finally entered spiritual practice?"

"Have."

"Then after these people entered cultivation, did they ever come back to take revenge on those who bullied them in the past?"

"···"

After just being silent, Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled:

"The evil consequences have already been sown, how can it be suppressed just by ignorance?"

"Admit it, your temple's move is just to raise these ordinary people like livestock and absorb their incense and offerings. Why do you need to talk so much about hypocrisy?"

Chen Yuan nakedly exposed this matter, and Gang Ding said with some embarrassment:
"The donor is sharp-tongued and full of crooked ideas. He doesn't recognize the principles of this temple, so please leave."

　You may not believe it, but the inspections and assessments from the upper level are gone, and the performance appraisal supervision from the upper level comes again. It is really an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another.Today I originally wanted to write a 4000-word update sign, but halfway through writing, I called out to work overtime. My obsessive-compulsive disorder came back again, and I didn’t want to post it until I reached [-] words, so that’s it.
