Chapter 68 Room for Growth
Have all the Buddhist practices turned into this weird style of painting? The practice of cultivating incense has even become a real evil practice? What happened in the last years of ancient times...
This was the second time Zhao Chen heard about the decline of Buddhism from Qi Feimeng, but this time after witnessing the "transcendence" scene that could scare ordinary people to tears, he finally had an intuitive understanding.
In Qi Feimeng's view, such a situation can be regarded as "not bad"... What will become of the other Buddhist techniques?
Forget it, it's useless to think too much. It's not just the problem with Feimeng itself... and "empty is color, color is empty", the appearance has nothing to do with the essence... right?
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Chen stopped worrying about this issue and turned to look at the ignited corpses. He found that in just a moment, they were all burned up.
Looking at the small piece of charcoal thrown into the pile of corpses by Qi Feimeng, Zhao Chen said thoughtfully: "Nuanyang wood?"
This is currently the main fuel for steam engines. Legend has it that it was cultivated by Huashen Sect, one of the sects, and then spread throughout Daxia.
I didn’t expect that it would be so convenient to “destroy corpses and eliminate traces”.
"Yes." Qi Feimeng nodded, thinking of Zhao Chen's previous actions that he had stopped, and couldn't help but warn, "You should try to do as little as possible to borrow power from others, otherwise you may be affected by the source of the power.
Chai Yugong is a lesson learned from the past.
"Others may not know it clearly, but as a Buddhist monk I know that he must have enshrined a 'Happiness Bodhisattva'.
"And maybe he was unable to practice the Dharma, or maybe something else happened. According to my guess, he was probably deeply eroded by that Bodhisattva, so he needed to use boys and girls with special physiques to please him, lest he become that Bodhisattva.
The 'tonic' of 'Happy Bodhisattva'.
"But even so, his temperament and posture are constantly shifting towards that Bodhisattva, and sooner or later he will become the other person's 'food'."
Is it deeply eroded? This is probably because Chai Yugong used the "Purple Light Ring" more than once to borrow power from the Bodhisattva of Joy...and he is not the owner of the "Purple Light Ring", so it cannot play much role, and it is useless to use it.
I'm so safe...
In this way, it might be a good thing for Chai Yugong that I chopped off his arm and took away the "Purple Light Ring"... Of course, the premise is that he can survive the backlash of the Bodhisattva of Joy.
While his thoughts were spinning, Zhao Chen considered and asked: "What kind of existence is a 'Bodhisattva'?"
"Except for the great Bodhisattvas such as Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra, who are more special, the other 'Bodhisattvas' are equivalent to the true kings of Taoism." Qi Feimeng answered while picking up bullet casings and cleaning up the traces of battles in the ruins.
True Lord of the Tao Sect... I heard my master say that this is an honorific title for the realm of "Shengxuan".
Zhao Chen did not ask what was so special about Guanyin and other great Bodhisattvas. After all, if Miss Qi wanted to say something, she would definitely tell it. Since she skipped it now, it meant that she didn't know or couldn't tell it either.
"Which sect's 'Shengxuan' is this 'Happy Bodhisattva'?" Zhao Chen asked casually while standing up to help.
"There is no Buddhist tradition in the Shangzong... How can there be a Bodhisattva in the 'Shengxuan' realm?" Miss Qi shook her head and sighed, "This 'Happiness Bodhisattva' has either fallen long ago, and only a trace of his spirit remains;
Or it has turned into a 'bad evil' and fallen into a 'great evil' level evil spirit."
The evil spirit at the level of "great evil"... The last time Zhao Chen heard this title was when Miss Qi explained the "Words of the Great Way" in front of the "Mist of History".
He didn't have the chance to ask at that time, but now he finally couldn't hold back his thirst for knowledge and asked: "'Great Evil' corresponds to 'Shengxuan'... How many levels does that evil have?"
Miss Qi hesitated for a moment, but still simply replied: "There are roughly four... They are the 'evil god' or 'demon god' as the source, the 'big evil' which is equivalent to the 'Shengxuan' True Lord, and comparable to the 'Dongxuan'
The real 'Demon King', as well as the ordinary demons who are not weaker than the master of 'Supernatural Power' in the fifth level of Tongxuan.
"In the territory of Daxia, the 'big evil' has long been extinct. Once they are born, they will be suppressed or expelled by the Shangzong and the 'Shengxuan' true monarchs of the family;
"'Demon King'-level demons occasionally appear, but most of them are 'weird' or 'Xinguang Temple' evil spirits, and there are very few others...
"On the contrary, ordinary evil spirits often cause trouble to a party, and they are the targets of Taoist officials, families and sects from all over the country.
"However, most ordinary demons have no intelligence and are like wild beasts. The trouble is actually the members of secret organizations who use ordinary demons to cause trouble.
"By the way, ordinary demons are fine, but try not to get to know too much about demons and demons at the level of great evil, otherwise you may have a certain fateful connection with them.
"Although our destiny has been diverted by other beings, and they may not be able to establish a connection, it is still best to be careful."
I see. No wonder the master is unwilling to talk to me more about "evils"... In addition, other existences, are you talking about the "Bodhisattva Picture"? Thinking this in his heart, Zhao Chen asked about other things on the surface.
:
"Members of the secret organization... I remember before going to the 'Mist of History', Feimeng, you said that there were members of the 'Xinguang Temple' lurking in the Chai family... Could it be Chai Yugong himself?"
If you are sure, report it to Sister Hongxia when she wakes up.
"I'm afraid he is not... If he is really a member of the 'Xinguang Temple', he will not be afraid of becoming the tonic for the 'Happy Bodhisattva'... and there is no need to search for boys and girls with special physiques." Qi Feimeng said softly.
Shaking her head, she paused and then said, "Speaking of Chai Yu Palace, let's leave here as soon as possible, lest the Chai family sends people to come here again."
At this time, through the efforts of her and Zhao Chen, the new traces of the battle in the ruins of the ancient city had been completely cleaned up, and the horses left behind by the knights had been driven away.
They didn't leave one or two horses to go with them because neither of them knew how to ride a horse.
Hearing Miss Qi's words, Zhao Chen nodded, pasted the made "paper horse" on his legs again, then squatted down and motioned Feimeng to lie on his back.
"The magic spell..." Qi Feimeng saw the origin of Zhao Chen's spell at a glance. She didn't show any pretense, she directly got on Zhao Chen's back and hugged his neck.
Compared with Sister Hongxia, Feimeng's seems a bit small... Feeling the soft touch, Zhao Chen muttered in his heart and was about to make a hand and chant a spell to perform the "magic move".
But at this time, the words that came out of Miss Qi's mouth made Zhao Chen stumble and almost fall over.
She pursed her lips and muttered: "I am young and there is still room for growth, not to mention..."
