All My Disciples Are Kings

Chapter 1489 Talking about Taoism and Zen!

Buddhism does not have a specific hierarchy in Cangxuan Continent.

 After all, he has too many believers, spread throughout the Chaos Realm... and even other major realms.

 Because of this, basically all forces will not deliberately provoke Buddhism.

They all know that in Buddhism, which has so many believers, the power of faith has already accumulated to an extremely terrifying level. When Buddhists attack with the power of faith, not many people can withstand it.

However, Buddhism will not compete with other forces for resources, nor will it initiate conflicts with the strong ones of those forces.

They will mainly target casual cultivators and ordinary people, preaching to them to convince them of Buddhism, and become Buddhist believers to increase the power of their faith.

 The power of faith is the main reason why Buddhism has endured for so long.

 …

 At this moment.

 The process of climbing up is mostly done by ordinary mortals. Even if there are monks, they will not fly in the air. They still walk on the bluestone steps and climb up slowly step by step.

 But I can’t tell.

When Ning Chenxin came to the outermost area, he could see devout Buddhist believers coming in and out one after another, with machine-like piety on their faces.

 There are so many pilgrims and believers just in the outermost area.

 Recalling what the old nun said.

Moreover, people who climb up will almost always stop and pay homage to the Buddhist temple above at every step.

Ning Chenxin frowned slightly and continued to climb up. He would not know anything until he went up.

 It took seven days.

 In the eastern part of Cangxuan Continent, there is 40% Buddhist land.

Ning Chenxin walked towards the mountain in front of him.

 The territory of Buddhism is very large.

 There is an air of something wrong.

This looks normal, but for some reason, there is always something that makes Ning Chen feel strange.

Even ordinary people can accumulate the power of faith to an extremely terrifying level.

 This also means that the higher the level of the Buddhist temple.

 Come here, seek solutions to your doubts, seek an answer...

However, Ning Chenxin walked very quickly and did not bow at every step, which also attracted the attention of the surrounding pilgrims.

 As you move toward the center, the height of the mountain will be higher, and the size of the Buddhist temple will also be larger.

There is no so-called city here, there are undulating peaks, and on each peak, there will be a Buddhist temple.

Ning Chenxin traveled through many space nodes before arriving at the Buddhist territory of Cangxuan Continent.

There seems to be no darkness here, no clouds blocking the sun, and the golden sunshine is constantly shining on every mountain top and every Buddhist temple.

Some pilgrims didn't pay attention and continued to worship each step of the stairs.

 Some pilgrims shouted directly: "In the land of Buddhism, your attitude is disrespectful to the Buddha!"

 Ning Chenxin didn’t care.

 Just hearing these words made me even more confused.

 In any case, such a fanatical pious attitude can no longer be said to be pious, but more like a disease!

This kind of believer is absolutely abnormal.

 Ignore it.

Ning Chenxin's speed was so fast that these ordinary mortals couldn't see Ning Chenxin clearly at all, they could only feel a breeze blowing by.

 It didn’t take long before we reached the top of the mountain.

 The size of the Buddhist temple is not large, but there are many people.

The door was open, and a monk wearing monk's robes stood on both sides.

Whenever someone enters, they will stand at the door and kowtow three times and nine times before being let in by the monk.

Ning Chen frowned and stepped forward to step into it. One of the young monks guarding the door stopped in front of Ning Chenxin and said: "This donor, your heart is not sincere, please come back."

Ning Chen asked in his heart: "How can I be sincere?"

“You should kneel down and pray to the Buddha for instructions, so that the Buddha will feel sincere and can go in to meet you.” The monk said with his hands clasped together.

Ning Chenxin asked: "Kneel down and worship can you show your sincerity? How can you tell if someone is just pretending?"

“Buddha knows how to distinguish.”

  Buddha should be said to be the top figure in Buddhism.

As for self-distinguishing, Ning Chen naturally does not believe it. This method is probably just to better absorb the power of faith of these ordinary mortals.

However, before the decision was made, Ning Chenxin did not argue. He just said: "I would also like to ask the young master to inform me that I am here to talk about Taoism and Zen."

Hearing this, the two young monks raised their brows slightly, then returned to normal. Only then did they raise their heads and take a closer look at Ning Chenxin.

After a quick glance, his face turned slightly heavy and he said, "I'll go ask the abbot for instructions."

  Didn’t wait long.

The young monk then made a gesture of invitation, "Donor, please come with me."

 Ning Chenxin followed the young monk.

Surrounding the surroundings with his peripheral vision, there was a sound of Sanskrit sound in the temple.

This Sanskrit sound does not feel like someone is reciting Buddhist scriptures in front of you, but it will continue to linger in Ning Chen’s ears.

The pilgrims who came in walked straight ahead, walked to the entrance of the main hall, knelt down and saluted the three golden Buddhas in the middle of the main hall.

Ning Chenxin could clearly see that above the heads of the kneeling pilgrims, there would be a small wisp of light golden aura flowing out, and then merged into the Golden Buddha.

 The power of faith.

Seeing this, Ning Chen seemed to think of Foshan in the wilderness.

Although the other party did nothing, his motives seemed impure.

The little monk took Ning Chenxin around the main hall and came to a small room at the back.

In the hut, an old monk with a white beard mopping the floor was wearing cassocks and sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

 While banging the wooden fish in his hand, he recited Buddhist scriptures.

The young monk clasped his hands and bowed: "Abbott, he is here."

 The abbot stopped chanting and nodded slightly.

 The little monk left the hut and closed the door.

At this time, the abbot looked at Ning Chenxin, with a kind smile on his face, and made a gesture of invitation to the futon in front of him.

 Ning Chenxin sat down.

“The donor wants to discuss Zen with the old man?”

Ning Chen nodded heartily: "If you have any doubts in your mind, please ask the abbot to answer it."

 However, the abbot smiled and said: "The first reason why I am confused is because the donor does not believe in Buddhism."

"Belief in Buddhism can solve doubts?" Ning Chen asked calmly.

The abbot nodded without hesitation and said: "Since you have come to my Buddhist sect, you naturally believe in Buddhism so that I can answer your questions."

Ning Chen thought to himself: "There are so many people in the world who are confused. Is it possible that they all need to believe in Buddhism?"

“Tao follows nature, and everything should respect the laws of nature. Only by not forcing can we help people solve their doubts. Is this what you mean by Buddhism?”

 The abbot opened his eyes at this time, and a ray of divine light like a sword shot out of his eyes.

Ning Chenxin met the abbot’s eyes without giving in.

 From the conversation between the two, it seems that they did not start discussing Zen.

 But in fact, the battle on Tao had already begun from the moment Ning Chenxin stepped into this hut.

PS: I am traveling with my family on May Day. I only have one chapter today, so I owe one chapter. (I will make it up tomorrow if I have time. If not, I will start making it up on the 4th.)

 It’s May Day, so I still have to spend time with my family. I beg you to understand me.
