This bean-sized Buddha statue slowly floated over, and floated in front of Chu Mo, with a solemn and serious expression, and a deep sense of compassion in his expression, which looked very peaceful and gave people a feeling of intimacy.
"Amitabha, thank you benefactor." The pea-sized Buddha statue thanked Chu Mo earnestly.
Are you really a Buddhist? Chu Mo frowned. In this place, there is no Buddhist figure at all, how could a Buddha be brought out after killing a tree demon? There was something odd about this.
Therefore, Chu Mo didn't say much, but calmly looked at the bean-sized Buddha statue without speaking.
The Buddha statue looked merciful and said, "Would the benefactor want to hear me tell a story?"
Ye Qing stood behind Chu Mo, looking at the Buddha statue curiously. A woman like her has pure and kind thoughts in her bones. This kind of woman can be said to be pure and kind, or a bit silly. He has no defense against people.
Chu Mo is not the case, he has experienced too many things in these years. Back then in the land of sin, Wang Zhong, the friend of the blood demon patriarch Ding Ling, taught him a very profound lesson. Chu Mo has experienced many such things, and has heard of them even more.
Therefore, facing this Buddha statue, Chu Mo didn't have much response at all, but just said lightly: "Tell me about it."
"The poor monk is the ancestor of Tianyin Temple." The Buddha statue didn't care about Chu Mo's attitude, but introduced himself kindly.
"Tianyin Temple? Tree Ancestor?" A sense of doubt arose in Chu Mo's heart. He had never heard of these two words. Tianyin Temple should be a temple, a place of Buddhism. What is tree ancestor? The ancestors of these dryads
"Tianyin Temple is the ancestral land of Buddhism, and there have been countless great Buddhas." Shu Zu didn't give a shit, and then said: "The poor monk, from the beginning, it was a tree in Tianyin Temple. Later, after being enlightened by the Buddha, he realized The Dao has also become a Buddha."
Buddhist ancestral land!
Although it is still uncertain whether the Buddha statue claiming to be the tree ancestor is telling the truth, but Chu Mo already knows that the other party must have a background.
"Later, the Buddhist sect collapsed, and the Buddha disappeared... Before he disappeared, the Buddha once pointed out that he wanted to go to the Yanhuang Dayu. Therefore, a group of people from the Buddhist sect left the Luotian Immortal Territory and went to the Yanhuang Dayu." The color of memory.
When Chu Mo heard this, he already believed it, because no one knew that he was from Yanhuang Dayu, and his current identity could not be seen through by the Buddha statue in front of him at all.
"The poor monk didn't want to go far away from the Yanhuang region back then. He felt that the Buddha disappeared. It's better to find a place to promote Buddhism. So, he came to this sealed place on the edge of the trial ground." Shuzu said.
"The sealed place?" Chu Mo frowned: "Excuse me, can you talk about this place first?"
Shu Zu nodded: "Amitabha, of course. It is said that this sealed place appeared earlier than the Luotian Immortal Realm. There have been countless amazing and brilliant practitioners in this land. It can be regarded as their ancestral land. But unfortunately, some problems occurred in this place later. It was so serious that the ancient power had to seal this place. Therefore, this territory became a sealed place. But this place It's amazing... This was only discovered after the poor monk came here."
Chu Mo listened quietly. As for Ye Qing, she was already dumbfounded, and she was a little dazed. She couldn't even understand what the two of them were talking about. But I can feel that what these two people said seems to have a very important connection with the world she lives in.
Shuzu went on to say: "After the poor monk came here, he took root here, and wanted to teach the Dharma here, and carry forward my Buddhist philosophy of compassion and salvation to all living beings."
Chu Mo nodded, Buddhism has always had this kind of argument. Some people think that they are full and support themselves, so don’t you just die? There are so many sentient beings, and their minds are so complicated, are you able to overcome them? Everyone has their own predestined relationship and their own destiny, except for themselves who can save themselves, who else can save them? There are even some fierce ones, directly pointing out that there are problems with Buddhist teachings. The so-called put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. Killing Ying Ye alone, the crime is heinous, can he really become a good person by putting down the butcher knife
Of course, there are also many supporters. After all, people want to be kind, which is also a beautiful pursuit. If it can save all sentient beings from evil to good, that is also a matter of immeasurable merit.
In this regard, Chu Mo's point of view is that if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, don't force it. Generally speaking, deep down in his heart, Chu Mo still recognized the purpose of Buddhism. At least they didn't do anything outrageous.
Shu Zu wryly smiled and said: "But I never thought that the water in this place is too deep, and the purpose of the ancient power to seal this place may not be as simple as in the legend. Moreover, in this world, there is no such thing as a spirit that can be found in any practice world." Qi, not even aura. And we creatures, without essence, without aura, have no way to live. And breaking the barrier of this sealed place has exhausted almost all my strength back then. "
Shu Zu said, and glanced at Chu Mo: "At that time, the barrier was completely different from now, and the power of the seal was still very strong."
Chu Mo nodded, he understood what Shu Zu meant.
Shuzu continued: "So, when I discovered that this world is not suitable for teaching the Dharma, I have no ability to leave here. In other words, even if I leave, I will die. Because I broke the barrier here, Obviously caused some existential dissatisfaction. As long as I leave here, then, I certainly won't live long."
Ye Qing was confused and confused, but Chu Mo could guess the turbulent contests in the Luotian Immortal Territory in the past. Many contests are caused by supreme beings. They will not easily end the battle personally, but one of their decrees may cause a shocking battle.
"Later, I discovered that although this world was sealed, all people... had endless energy in their bodies! Perhaps the benefactor should have discovered it too. The people in this world don't know how to practice, and they don't even know how to cultivate. They don't know what cultivation is. But their bodies all have an incredible amount of energy, and they also have a very high level." Shu Zu said.
Chu Mo nodded again. It was indeed the case. He had already seen it in Xiaohe Village. Including Ye Qing beside him, all of them are in this situation.
"That is to say, if you want to survive in this world, become strong, and get the energy to leave this world, you must..." Shu Zu glanced at Chu Mo, and then at Ye Qing behind Chu Mo: " kill!"
Ye Qing's body trembled slightly, his face became very pale. She still finds it unbelievable that the Tree God would do this. But listening to this being who came out of the tree god's body and claimed to be the ancestor of the tree said so, then this matter, nine out of ten, may really be what Chu Mo said!
how is this possible? How could this be? Ye Qing's heart was full of sadness, but also at a loss.
"But the poor monk came from Buddhism and was enlightened by the Buddha himself..." Shuzu said softly: "How can the poor monk do such a thing? Anything that hurts others, anyone in the Buddhist school, can't do it." won't do it."
"That must be a true Buddhist." Chu Mo finally answered at this time.
"That's right, that's right." Shu Zu looked at Chu Mo and said seriously: "So, the poor monk chose to pass away, but the biggest mistake the poor monk made at that time was to leave tens of thousands of seeds and integrate the true spirit, Go inside those seeds..."
As he said that, a bitter expression appeared on Shuzu's face: "Any creature wants to leave some evidence of his presence in this world. Buddhism teaches that the four things are all empty. It's because the poor monk's cultivation is not advanced enough, so he can't see it. Wear this and leave a lot of cholera roots."
"You mean, the tree demons that are all over the world today are all your descendants?" Chu Mo asked, looking at the tree ancestor.
"That's right, from the point of view of life inheritance, it can be said this way." Shuzu said: "But the poor monk really just wanted to leave some traces of existence, unexpectedly, although they are the seeds that fell from the poor monk, make that choice.”
Ye Qing finally couldn't help it at this time, looked at the tree ancestor and said: "You, you are lying, the tree gods are obviously good people! They are the guardians of this world."
Tree Ancestor glanced at Ye Qing and sighed: "The female benefactor doesn't know something, things are not what you think. If this benefactor hadn't killed this tree demon, the poor monk's true spirit would not be able to awaken Come here. Do you want to know what the tree god you worship and respect has done? I can show you."
As Shu Zu said, a mirror image suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.
This is the picture in its memory.
Looking at a small tree, rooted at the entrance of a town, growing up little by little, Ye Qing's eyes are also constantly changing.
After becoming a big tree, because of the need for growth and nutrients, this big tree began to cast its mind on those people in the town. Finally, it shot for the first time. But the choice was an old man who had just died.
The old man couldn't tell how old he was, he should be the kind who died of old age.
The big tree secretly inserted a root into the old man's cemetery. Then, the old man's body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the end, it became a skeleton with only a layer of human skin left.
thump.
Ye Qing directly fell to the ground, his eyes were blank, his whole body collapsed.
This scene, even in her dreams, she couldn't believe it was real.
But this is nothing, the big tree that has gained a lot of energy has become taller and taller almost overnight. It looks very beautiful.
Everyone passing by can't help but praise a few times.
In this way, as the years passed, every old person who died would be sucked away by the big tree.
Finally one day, the tree god who has become a towering ancient tree is a little dissatisfied.
Because the people here live too long!
It is too difficult and too slow to wait until a person dies. It's some, can't wait.
