Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, and asked with a smile, "Why did senior say that?"
"Don't you think so?" The old monk drooped his eyelids, and said lightly: "The ancient sect of the Nether... They don't even ask what kind of existence it is. There are many great sects in this fairy world, just like crucian carp in the river. But This ancient Nether religion can still spread its name throughout the entire fairy world. What is it relying on? Kindness? Universal love?"
The old monk had a mocking expression on his face: "Stop talking...they rely on strength!"
"..." Chu Mo suddenly looked at the old monk speechlessly, and said to himself, are you talking nonsense? Which major sect does not rely on strength
He just came out and wanted to buy a map of the fairy world, and saw that the old monk had it on the stall, so he chatted casually with the old monk. In the end, before they could say a word, there was a burst of cheers from the tavern, interrupting the conversation between the two of them.
"Young man, it seems that you don't understand what I mean." The old monk glanced at Chu Mo: "What I mean is, since the ancient Nether sect can gain a firm foothold in this fairy world by virtue of their strength, they will take an ancient relic Helpless? This is clearly the great danger hidden in the ancient ruins! They didn’t want to lose their own people, so they came up with this method. Why are there only 20 places? Shit! They are afraid that if there are too many people, it will be difficult to control! Once Dozens of them... just right, they can play a role in exploration and easy to monitor. Anyway, this group is dead, and there will be the next batch. This fairy world... the most indispensable thing is this group of poor casual cultivators at the bottom myself."
The old monk finally sighed, and seemed to be a little emotional. At this time, he stood up and walked with a limp, which turned out to be a lame man.
Chu Mo was somewhat surprised, looked at the old monk and said, "Your legs?"
"I'm lame, with a dao injury, and it can't be cured." The old monk smiled wryly, "Otherwise, I, a monk in the Mahayana period, would set up a stall here to eat and die?"
As he said that, the old monk's eyes showed the color of memory: "My leg was seriously injured when I was exploring a relic for the ancient Nether religion, and it could not be cured at all. Therefore, my life is like this. I can only retire here."
After the old monk finished speaking, Chu Mo took a look at him with the magic mirror of the sky, and found that he was indeed a monk in the Mahayana period, and he was still in the middle of the Mahayana period. The injury on his leg was also caused by a Taoist injury. But it's not hopeless.
It's just that those medicinal materials must be very rare in the fairy world. Even if they can be found, the price is definitely not affordable for this old monk.
Thinking to himself, Chu Mo said, "Maybe one day you will meet someone who can heal your leg."
The old monk waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "That's impossible! If it could be cured, how could I have wasted until today? It has been cured long ago!" As he spoke, the old monk began to search for it in his booth. : "You just said that you want a full map of the fairyland? There is no such thing. To be honest, the fairyland is too big and vast. Few people who have the ability to make a full-scale map of the fairyland are willing to do this. With that time, it’s better to practice. So... most of the fairyland maps are divided into regions. Young man, can you tell me where you want to go? I’ll find you a map of the regions.”
Chu Mo hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "I'm going to Buddhism."
"Huh?" The old monk was taken aback immediately, and looked Chu Mo up and down: "Young man, I see that you are full of blood, rosy complexion, and full of heaven. There should be nothing you can't think about?"
Chu Mo couldn't help laughing immediately: "Old man, do you know how to tell fortunes?"
"Foretelling? Come on, that fooling thing, everyone is a monk. If you haven't practiced the real scriptures, whoever dares to say that you can tell fortunes will be ridiculed to death." The old monk grinned: "I just think, You are so young, and you have nothing to worry about, why do you want to go to that kind of place?"
"Why? To go to Buddhism, you must become a monk?" Chu Mo said with a smile.
"Why don't you go out and look for Buddhism?" The old monk stared, and then said: "You haven't heard the legend about Buddhism, have you?"
With that said, the old monk sat back again, and was no longer in a hurry to find a map for Chu Mo. He looked at Chu Mo and said, "As long as people enter that place, few can come out! I had a friend by my side back then, no Adapted to the fighting and killing in the world of practice, he said that he would go there to purify his soul, but in the end... he went and never returned, and he directly worshiped Buddhism and became an ordinary disciple. A few years ago, there was still contact. His realm was hundreds of years old. I didn’t make any progress, and even regressed, I asked him why. Do you know what he told me?”
The old monk looked at Chu Mo: "He said, why do you want to improve your realm? You only need to improve your mind!"
The old monk said with a sigh: "It's a pity that my friend was also a very talented monk back then. If he was willing to practice hard, he should have already entered the ascension period by now. He even has a chance to ascend to the heavens! Now... completely useless , he is not as good as my old lame!"
"Everyone has their own choice, Buddhism may not be as bad as you think, right?" Chu Mo said.
"It's not unbearable, it's because their scriptures are too powerful." The old monk sighed: "Let's put it this way, originally you were a person with lofty aspirations and wanted to make a difference in the world of practice, but if you listened to their scriptures Nine out of ten times, they will give up this idea. This kind of thing is naturally nothing to those ordinary people. Because those people's lives are very short, they want to be rich and live a good life in the next life. Then they practice Buddhist scriptures , is actually beneficial. At least it can guide people to be good. But for a monk... an unshakable Taoist heart is fundamental! If this Taoist heart is shaken, then his path of practice will be ruined! Everyone has their own choice, but this... is a pity."
Chu Mo nodded: "I think that the Dao Heart that can be easily shaken is not the real Dao Heart."
"You don't know the power of their scriptures." The old monk sighed, looked at Chu Mo with some pity, and then said, "You and I have never met each other, but I would like to persuade you, if you can not go to that place, try your best." Just don't go."
"I have a reason to go." Chu Mo sighed.
People in the practice world seem to have deep prejudices and fears towards Buddhism, but none of them say that Buddhism is an evil place. This also shows one thing, Buddhism has never committed any evil deeds since ancient times.
It is actually a miracle in itself that an ancient sect can continue from ancient times to today without any evil deeds.
So Chu Mo didn't have any prejudice or fear towards Buddhism.
"That's it..." The old monk shook his head, and then said, "Then I won't say more, I'll find it for you."
Saying so, he stood up again, rummaged through his booth, found a piece of jade slip after a long while, and threw it to Chu Mo: "Take a look, is this the one? Buddhism is tens of millions of miles away, in the distant northwest direction."
Chu Mo took the jade slip, looked at it with his divine sense, then nodded, and said to the old monk, "How much?"
"Forget it, I don't need money, I'll give it to you. But I have one thing to ask you." The old monk said to Chu Mo seriously: "If you see my friend, please tell him a word."
