Legend of the Cultivation God - Chapter 3417

[Chapter 3417 The Status Quo of Saint Jiang Zhiwei]

This strange tree is different from Xiaoyu Continent and Tibetan Immortal Continent. The thick trunk is like the pagoda of a temple. Layers are superimposed. , and then stretched out branches several feet in size toward the surrounding. The leaves that make up the canopy are equally interesting. They are propped up there like a fan. Where the wind blows, the canopy is shaking, as if a big hand is shaking a hundred or ten big fans at the same time. The fruit of this strange tree also caught Xiao Hua’s attention. Unlike spirit fruit and spirit wood, this fruit does not hang on the branches, but only sticks to the top of the tree crown and is held high, and each tree Only nine fruits are produced. The fruits vary in size, with the larger ones resembling heads and the smaller ones only fist-like. The fruit looks very strong, and the green peel tightly wraps the fruit. Even if it falls from the top of the high tree, the fruit is not seen to be torn apart.

The scenery is naturally in Xiao Hua’s eyes, but what he pays attention to is the people in the scenery. The mortals in Elysium are no different from Tibetan Immortal Continent, but their skin color is slightly darker and their clothes are different. Most of the men wore short dresses, while the women wore veils to cover their skin and faces. Of course, in addition to secular people, most of them are ordinary monks. In Elysium, there are many temples. These temples are big or small, and the incense is strong. Whenever Xiao Hua’s Buddhist consciousness swept through the temples, he would see devout men and women kowtowing incense and donating silver coins. Of course, Xiao Hua’s Buddhist consciousness was often discovered by the eminent monks in the temple. At first, Xiao Hua hurriedly retracted the Buddhist consciousness, lest it cause misunderstandings, but after a long time, Xiao Hua found that those Buddhist consciousness not only did not have the hostility of the temple On the contrary, they are very kind, and they all withdraw immediately after touching their own Buddha consciousness, and there will be no further warning.

“Elysium!! Is it really a world of bliss?” Looking at the piety on the faces of men and women, and the smiles on the faces of the monks, Xiao Hua sighed a little again, “The people in the world of bliss are very satisfied. What? Well, in Xiao’s opinion, Buddhism is a special one among Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. It is not so much a method and method of cultivation as it is a kind of faith! Although soul cultivation also emphasizes the power of faith, they The believers are millions of people from the land of Mengshan, after all, the scope is limited. And this Buddhist sect…because of the teachings of Buddhism, it can be said that the Buddha’s light shines. Anyone can believe in the Lord of the Buddha. Weak, no more than a million people from the land of Mengshan Mountain, but it can’t hold a large number. There are hundreds of millions of people in the entire Paradise! This kind of faith power… darling, it is enough for the Buddha to become a Buddha! Maybe it is This kind of belief…is the foundation of making people happy? Since they are all beliefs, what is the relationship between the twelve gods of soul cultivation and the Buddha of Buddhism? My Taoism…why does not have a Taoist ancestor? Why does my Taoism have no faith? ?”

Xiao Hua thought more and more. He had thought about these before, but at that time he was full of doubts and doubts. Now that he saw the prosperity of the incense of Buddhism, his thoughts were profound.

Cihui opened her eyes, saw Xiao Hua also closed her eyes and thought, smiled slightly, and said, “Junior Tipu, what do you think?”

Xiao Hua didn’t open his eyes and said with a smile: “The little monk was a little sleepy just now, just take a break!”

Only Xiao Hua can solve the matter of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. He doesn’t think this kindness, who only understands Buddhism, can help his understanding.

“Look at the distance, it’s already at the Sage River!” Ci Hui didn’t agree, pointing her hand to the distance and smiling.

“Oh? So fast??” Xiao Hua’s heart moved, and he opened his eyes to look. Sure enough, in the distance, a piece of clear water was spread between the heaven and the earth. In the boundless sky, the blue waves in the distance are very close to the color of the sky, where can you tell the boundary? It was as if the clear water was the downfall of the Tianhe River. Looking at the clear water, there are white sails that are smaller than a handkerchief. The doll-like boats under the white sails are frozen in the green for a long time. Xiao Hua understands that these boats are not moving, but are moving closer. He was drifting like those big boats, but it was really far from here, and the distance that those big boats had drifted was too small in his eyes.

“This… is this the South China Sea or the Sage River?” Xiao Hua was stunned. Is this river too broad? ?

“Nonsense, where is the South China Sea? It can only be Sage Jiang!” Cihui reprimanded Xiao Hua lightly, and said, “This Sage Jiang is known as the origin of the two seas. The tributaries merge into it, and the land where the river reaches is surrounded by hundreds of millions of Buddhists, and I don’t know how many Buddhists rely on the sage Jiang to live.”

“What is that?” Xiao Hua frowned and pointed to one place with his fingers.

“Oh?” Ci Hui was puzzled and followed Xiao Hua’s direction.

But seeing that it is a river bay several miles in size, the water of the Sage River flows slowly, and it circles and circulates between the two hills. There are several miles between the hills, forming a very calm Jiangwan. The two hills were ordinary and not very tall, but two golden statues of Buddha Lords were built on top of the hills, so this Jiangwan was different.

At this time, on the hill, many men and women climbed with difficulty and bowed down reverently before reaching the Buddha statue. Beneath the hills, the Jiangwan was extremely lively again.

What Xiao Hua said was a team of more than ten people. Everyone in this team was wearing plain clothes, and some women had white flowers on their temples. It was the same thing as a flower basket, except that there were not only flowers in the flower basket, but also an old man lying naked among the flowers. The old man’s hands were crossed on his chest, his eyes were closed, and his face showed a serenity that was almost a smile.

The team walked to an empty place on the side of Jiangwan, and stopped slowly. Several people in front of them put down the “flower basket”, and a dozen people behind them rushed up. The woman put the white flowers on her temples. Pick it off, throw it in the “flower basket”, and then everyone lifts up the “flower basket” and sends it into Jiangwan!

Although the river water in the Jiangwan is gentle, it is still flowing, and the “flower basket” enters the Jiangwan and immediately floats towards the Jiangwan with the river water. The “flower basket” was originally made of rattan. It just floated out for a few feet, and immediately the river water poured in. The river water became more and more, and gradually lifted the old man’s body, and the “flower basket” gradually sank. .

“Amitabha…” On the side of Jiangwan, the dozens of men and women had smiles on their faces. Although some women had crystal tears in the corners of their eyes, they still recited this Buddhist scripture in their mouths, which was unusually devout. Following everyone’s gaze, the flower basket sank into the bottom of the river bay, and the old man’s body was indeed half-sunk and half-floating, fluctuating with the river.

Obviously, this is a funeral for the old man, and these dozens of men and women should be the sons and relatives of the old man. If this is the case, it may not surprise Xiao Hua. Whether it is the cremation of the old monk of Xiaolinglong Temple or the burial of ordinary monks in Xiaoyu Continent, Xiao Hua has also seen it. This water burial is not unusual. However, this Jiangwan is more than ten miles in size. Not only are there many people on this side of Jiangwan, but there are also many people in Jiangwan.

Some of the people in Jiangwan are bathing, some are dipping in the water reverently, of course, some people don’t know whether they are dead or alive, and they just float on the water; By the water, grabbing the ground with their heads, I don’t know what to say in their mouths, some are lying on the water, holding the river water with their hands reverently, and drinking with big gulps, and some people are holding some boxes in their hands, moving towards the water. What was splashed in the river water, if it was not Xiao Hua’s expectation, it would be the embers after the corpse was burned.

Just as the old man’s corpse slid into the river, there were still a few people in the river who were holding up the river and drinking wildly. ! !

As for the corpse of the old man floating past, the people in the river turned a blind eye and didn’t care at all.

The people in the river didn’t pay attention to the old man’s corpse, but the fish in the water and the birds in the sky did care. When the old man’s corpse had not floated into the river bay for too long, one after another of fat river fish swam over and surrounded the naked corpse in the water. Above the river surface, several birds also flew down, either eating the river fish or swallowing the corpses. As for the son of the old man on the river bank, instead of rushing away the bird fish, there was a look of joy on his face.

“This… these people… are they too crazy?” Xiao Hua looked at the incredible behavior of people of all colors in Jiangwan, stunned, and said in a low voice.

“Amitabha…” Cihui, who was used to it, said with a smile, “What’s so strange? Junior Brother Tipu looks a little bit! Could it be that Senior Brother Tipu doesn’t know? Although this sage Jiang hangs a Confucianism ‘sage’ My Buddhist sect has never planned to change its name. But the great river that runs through the Pure Land world has no name in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Buddhists, no matter whether it is called the Sage River or the Buddha River, In the hearts of Buddhists, it is just a river of Buddha! It is a unique river in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Buddhists! It is a river full of blessings from the Buddha, a river that carries the past, present and future lives of Buddhists.”

Seeing Xiao Hua frowning slightly, Cihui said excitedly again, “Junior Tipu, isn’t he happy when he sees this scene? Don’t you think this is the state of the Buddha’s light in my Pure Land world forever? In the hearts of Buddhists, a big river is linked to the land of bliss. The origin of the river is the exit of the paradise, and the destination of the river is the entrance of the paradise. Look at the newborn baby, who was washed in this river and obtained the Buddha. The blessing of the old man who just passed away, he washed the dust of his life here, his dirty stinky skins remained in the river water, and his clean soul flowed into the land of bliss with the river water.”
