Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Li Ningshuang smiled and said, "Those monks are very sensible. If the temple is gone, they can build a new one. If the Buddha statue is gone, they can make another one. But if you lose your life, your cultivation in this life will be in vain."

Li Guanhai fiddled with the tea set and said, "I have never understood the Buddhist cultivation system. Most of us ordinary cultivators cultivate immortality, but those monks cultivate the fruit of cultivation and the Buddhist way. I really don't know who founded this system."

Li Ningshuang shook his head, "There is no record in the ancient books, but according to the description, the origin of Buddhism must not be in the outside world, but in the central continent."

"At that time, the war in Jiuzhou had not yet broken out, and Buddhism As soon as this system appeared, it gained countless believers, not only monks, but also common people flocked to it. Almost every household had a Buddha statue on the altar. Even extremely poor families would save the money from buying rice and meat to burn incense and worship Buddha. "

"Buddhism spreads all over the world, and believers are all over the world. It sounds good to say that it is saving all living beings, but in fact it is expanding its influence. Buddhism also needs incense. The more prosperous its reputation and the more incense it has, the stronger its Buddhist magic power will be. "

Buddhism needs incense, and Taoism also needs incense. This is somewhat similar to the merit golden lotus of the Earth Emperor Hall, both of which rely on the power of all living beings.

It's just that Buddhism and Taoism are somewhat different. Why do Buddhist monks often open the altar to preach without charging the people a penny?

In fact, it is to spread Buddhism. The more believers who believe in Buddhism under his influence, the stronger the power bestowed on him. When the number of believers reaches several different levels one day, they can obtain the fruit position, thereby greatly increasing their strength.

The same is true for the Taoists, but they will not achieve the right result, they will only become immortals.

Li Ningshuang continued: "The rapid development and growth of Buddhism made the nine rulers who ruled the nine continents at that time wary and suppressed Buddhism, preventing it from spreading Buddhism everywhere."

"Later, the war broke out in Jiuzhou, and Buddhism was inevitably implicated. Buddhist temples in Jiuzhou were almost demolished overnight, and many monks with profound Buddhist knowledge died in the war. Buddhism was in a precarious situation and finally moved to a foreign land for refuge, thus avoiding the fate of being destroyed."

Yang Chaner, who was listening with great interest, answered: "Oh, so there was the Da Guangming Temple later, right?"

Li Ningshuang nodded.

Yang Chaner was puzzled: "Since Buddhism is so powerful, why didn't it return to the Central Continent to preach in peacetime after escaping the war years, but stayed away from the outside world for so many years?"

Li Ningshuang explained: "There are three reasons. First, Buddhism was almost extinct at that time, so many inheritances were cut off. Although the Buddhist teachings learned by later disciples were complete, they were far from the heyday and had no influence at that time."

"Second, Buddhism was developed in the era of the rule of the nine masters. At that time, the final holy war had just ended, and there were very few cultivation systems for monks to choose from. At this time, the Buddhist system appeared."

"That group of monks often said a sentence The saying is always on the lips: Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved, and everyone can become a Buddha. The reason why Buddhism can rise so quickly is largely due to this. But now, there are many cultivation systems, and there are many with lower thresholds than Buddhism. In comparison, the Buddhist system of Ten Commandments and Nine Laws is no longer popular. "

Yang Chaner listened carefully and asked: "What about the third one?"

Li Ningshuang smiled: "Of course it can't accommodate Buddhism. Everyone knows how powerful this system was back then. It's not easy to get to the outside world. The upper world has formed a new pattern. How can the major forces allow Buddhism to return to the upper world?"

Yang Chaner suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

Li Ningshuang continued: "That group of monks always wanted to return to the Central Continent, but they were beaten back every time. Although the major forces in the upper world disliked each other, they were able to work together on this issue."

Han Lingxuan expressed his opinion: "Fortunately, that group of monks were driven away, otherwise there would be so many monks without hair in this world."

Li Guanhai said: "Not all monks are hairless. There are also lay disciples in Buddhism who can practice with hair and are not bound by precepts."

Han Lingxuan asked: "Can they also marry and have children?"

Li Guanhai nodded: "Of course, Buddhism has not been driven away yet. When they left the Central Continent, there were countless lay disciples. These people did not want to receive the precepts, but wanted to practice, so they became lay disciples. After learning the skills, some of them did good and some did evil. "

Yang Chan'er curled her lips: "They are all ruffians. The Buddhist sect is simply helping the evil to do evil to these people. They also said that everyone can become a Buddha, and that doing so is to save all living beings. Bah, they are saving themselves, hypocritical. "

Lu Xuanjing said: "Chan'er, be careful with your words. If the monks of Da Guangming Temple hear this, they will definitely chant the Buddha's name and discuss Zen with you endlessly."

Li Guanhai raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.

I didn't expect that Lu Xuanjing, who usually speaks little, would actually make sarcastic remarks. This is not her style.

"Xuan Jing, do you have a grudge against the monks of Da Guangming Temple?"

The intimate address made Lu Xuan Jing a little flustered. She secretly observed the expressions of the crowd. Seeing that their faces were normal, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She quietly glared at Li Guanhai and shook her head and said, "It's not with me, but with the Dihuang Palace. I don't know much about what happened that year. I only know that a battle broke out and many people died. Therefore, the Dihuang Palace and Da Guangming Temple are in a hostile relationship. Fortunately, there are thousands of mountains and rivers between them, and there has been basically no conflict since then."

Li Guanhai turned around, hugged the back of his head with both hands, and lay on his back on the stone table, looking at the blue sky, his thoughts drifting away.

After a while, Lu Xuanjing's voice came to my ears: "Li Guanhai, you have broken through the Xuanxian realm. I heard from the second elder that in addition to accumulating cultivation, the more important thing in this realm is enlightenment, so the Xuanshen realm is also called the Hedao realm. Have you thought about what you want to understand?"

Li Guanhai closed his eyes and answered: "Enlightenment, enlightenment, as the name suggests, the Tao is realized by oneself, how can I know what I want to understand."

Lu Xuanjing nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

Li Guanhai suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes and looked at her, "By the way, your elder Zhu Sheng is a quasi-god realm strongman, only one step away from the real Xuanshen realm, what Tao did he understand?"

Lu Xuanjing shook her head: "I don't know either, we are not at the same level at all, I didn't ask, and the elder never took the initiative to mention it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Guanhai disappear from the spot without a trace.

"Hey, where did he go?" Yang Chan'er asked with a cake in her mouth.

Li Ningshuang smiled and said, "The master has always been vigorous and decisive in doing things. He does whatever he thinks of and doesn't like to procrastinate. He must have gone to ask Senior Zhu Sheng for advice."

"Oh." Yang Chaner nodded, suddenly feeling a little ashamed.

With such a good talent and working so hard, what qualifications do I have to be lazy?

Lu Xuanjing glanced at Li Ningshuang and thought, "This woman knows him very well."
