Chapter 145 Mortals reach the sky, 108,000 miles 2
Li Chong laughed and said, "Money is something outside of your body. The old man doesn't have to worry about it. This can of tea will be given to the old man."
As he spoke, Li Chong reached out and took out another can of tea. Old Man Chen didn't care about the high and low amount of tea. He kept looking at Li Chong's sleeve and murmured: "Old woman, look, where did Taoist priest's tea come from? It's so amazing."
Facing the old couple's surprised eyes, Li Chong smiled and said, "It's just a small trick, a trick."
"Oh..." The old couple looked at each other, and the look of surprise in their eyes gradually turned into awe.
Li Chong took the opportunity to ask, "Old man, what was going on with that ceremony?"
Old Man Chen didn't care about Li Chong's inconsistency and changed his name to answer: "If I return to the Immortal Lord, the county magistrates of Qingyun County believe in Taoism and hold ceremonies every three years, and then these Taoist magistrates will be hired to the county magistrate's mansion... and even have the opportunity to learn Taoism from Qingyun Palace in Qingyun Mountain..."
Li Chong was a little puzzled when he heard this. Didn’t the Journey to the West be a battle of luck? Then why did Tang Baldy and Monkey still believe in Taoism after passing by Qingyun County? Shouldn’t they believe in Buddhism? In fact, Li Chong took it for granted. Even if the Journey to the West be affected, it would not have a big impact. The people still believe in Taoism more.
Here we explain why more people believe in Taoism than Buddhism. In China, there are far more people who believe in Buddhism and Christianity than Taoism. This is because there are not many people who believe in God in China, or in other words, there are not many people who firmly believe in God. Moreover, the Taoist philosophy is not favored by that, and Taoism rebelled too many times.
This is not the case in the prehistoric world. There are really gods and immortals in the prehistoric world. Even if the people have never seen gods, they can still confirm the existence of gods.
Taoist practice is different from Buddhism. From the very beginning, believers who practice Taoism need to meditate and practice qi and draw talismans, so even Taoist priests who have achieved some success can use some magic, such as Cui Banxian can draw talismans before he has reached the Qi training realm.
Buddhism is not good, and the teachings of Buddhism make monks not have these abilities. You have seen that monk who paints talismans, even if there are, it is a lie. Ordinary monks can only recite scriptures, and only monks who have reached the Qi training level can perform some magic. In this way, the number of people at the bottom of Taoism far exceeds that of monks, and the base determines the spread range, which leads to the popularity of Taoism.
Li Chong knew that it would take him a long time to understand this problem, so he asked, "What are the ceremonies in Qingyun County?"
Old Man Chen replied: "Reciting scriptures or something, but the people don't want to read it, and the adults don't want to read it. Everyone is waiting to watch it for the battle meeting."
"The Fighting Conference?" Li Chong was stunned and asked in surprise: "What does the Fighting Conference mean?"
Old Man Chen said with great admiration: "It's just a competition of immortal techniques, just like the trick you use for Xian Chang."
Oh! Li Chong cursed fiercely in his heart, was it really that the world of the prehistoric world was so far as the real immortals were walking all over the ground, and the golden immortals were not as good as dogs. Even the leader could not go out. A small battle meeting began to perform the universe in the sleeve. Didn’t Shen Gongbao say that the universe in the sleeve is a very advanced magic? I want to go home, the universe in the past is too dangerous.
However, Li Chong still asked unwillingly: "Old man, what kind of magic did you use for the top names of these battle meetings?"
Old Man Chen recalled quickly and said, "It's not that the little old man is disrespectful. The magic power of those immortals is even higher than that of you. I saw that I used an oil pan to wash my hands. The vegetable oil was boiling hot and rustling. The immortals were not doing anything to wash their hands inside. It was really profound. My son had seen the fire-burning cotton thread. The immortals were also very powerful. They used their magic power to protect the cotton thread, and the fire continued to burn. The last time the victorious immortals were even more powerful. They said that the spell was called "dripping water into ice, and a bowl of water. The immortals turned into ice with one finger. It was so powerful. There were also magic tricks such as invulnerability, which were also very powerful."
I... Li Chong breathed a sigh of relief and didn't know what to say. It turned out that there were also a bunch of scammers in the prehistoric world. Although Li Chong was not sure, he knew that these spells were deceptive at first glance. However, the prehistoric world did not develop technology, and it was not popularized by Baidu and Google. These frauds would basically not be exposed.
When Li Chong felt relieved, he became interested in a trip to the prehistoric world. Not to mention anything else, it is not difficult to find some medicinal materials in the prehistoric world. Li Chong has seen many rarely visited mountains and ridges along the way.
Just when Li Chong was full of confidence, Cui Banxian talked with the five elders.
As soon as several elders saw Cui Banxian, they made a request and invited Cui Banxian to serve as the state consultant. Cui Banxian hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement. He is not a pure Qi practitioner now, so he doesn't have to pay too much attention to the entanglement of cause and effect. But then the five elders asked a question that Cui Banxian could not answer. Can chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha really eliminate karma and pray for blessings in the next life?
Cui Banxian sneered in his heart, thinking that you were afraid, and then he began to think about this issue.
After a while, Cui Banxian said slowly: "Reciting scriptures and worshiping Buddha may not eliminate karma. There are quite a lot of them that are not involved in cause and effect."
Elder Yin said in a harmonious voice: "Why?"
Cui Banxian said slowly, "I don't know if there is any such thing as causal entanglement, but even if there is one, it is due to the way of heaven. I'm afraid the Buddha will not dare to fight against the way of heaven. As for not being involved in cause and effect, it is much simpler. If you don't do anything all day, you will naturally not take into account cause and effect. But you can't say that chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha is of no use. At least most scriptures can make people cultivate their body and less greedy."
Elder Ma raised his thick eyebrows and said loudly: "Lao Yin, you are so bored. If you want to ask something, just be more direct. Mr. Cui, if you recite scriptures and worship Buddha, can you enjoy wealth and honor in the next life?"
Cui Banxian was stunned and then smiled and said, "Elder Ma is really a person with temperament, but I want to tell you very regretfully, I definitely can't!"
"What are you asking? Are they all saying false?" Elder Ma asked in disappointment.
Cui Banxian shook his head and smiled, "I heard from Zhenren Li that a senior who had experienced the Battle of the Gods said that the reason for creating a sect was not to save all sentient beings."
Speaking of this, Cui Banxian took a sip of tea and kept it in a slightest way.
Elder Ping hurriedly asked, "What is that for?"
Cui Banxian said slowly: "For luck!"
"Qilus!" Elder Yin asked in confusion: "I always read the word "Qilus" in books, and those gods are fighting for it, but what is Qilu?"
Cui Banxian said, "This word is not clear at all. Let me put it this way. The teachings of Buddhism are to save all sentient beings. The teachings of the teachings are to expound the way of heaven. The teachings of the teachings are to expose the way of heaven. The teachings of the teachings are to seize a glimmer of life for all living things. Of course, there are some other sects. If a god creates a sect, the more his sects there are, the stronger the cause and effect of entanglement in his body will be. For example, several elders are considered leaders, and even the gods dare not touch the elders easily, because you involve the cause and effect of hundreds of millions of people. Of course, it is not good if these cause and effect are beneficial or disadvantages to the elders."
"The same is true for those sects in the fairy world. For example, if someone wants to kill Tathagata, you have to kill the four great Bodhisattvas, eight hundred arhats, three thousand heads, etc. Can you not bear the cause and effect if you kill these?"
Elder Ma frowned and said, "But can these gods work hard for Tathagata?"
Cui Banxian blinked and smiled, "I don't know, but respecting teachers and valuing education is also considered the rule of heaven. When it comes to the means of both kindness and power, there will always be gods and immortals... and the teachings of these leaders sound very good! Haha...haha..."
Cui Banxian said while sneering in his heart, saying brainwashing, you are much better than gods. Don’t think that gods are smart, 25 more.
Elder Yin smiled awkwardly. He could also hear what the meaning of Cui Banxian's words were. Although he was a little angry, he couldn't say anything. The facts were facts.
Cui Banxian was considered a Taoist disciple, and he wanted to stumbling on Buddhism and continued: "Overall, it is better to seek others than to seek others. For example, when Elder Wang and Li Zhenren conflicted, Buddhism did not support you, right!"
Elder Wang's face suddenly turned pale. Although Cui Banxian tried his best to belittle the Buddhist scriptures, Elder Wang could not say a word. No matter what, the people behind him did not support him. No one present was not confused. They could also see through this incident that although the noble gods and immortals were unwilling to have conflicts with them, they really didn't take them seriously.
Elder Yin saw the atmosphere a little awkward, changed the subject and said with a smile: "I don't know what Zhenren Li is busy with these days, do you need our help?"
Cui Banxian hesitated for a long time before he slowly said: "A few days ago, Zhenren Li talked to me, saying that he was looking for a treasure, and it was said that he even started fighting."
"Oh!" The five elders were shocked and were still very interested in the fight between gods. The five asked in unison: "What the hell is going on? Who won."
Cui Banxian disappeared from Han Bingyu and continued: "In the simplest treasure hunting incident, the two elders of Kunlun, the Ghost King of Liyang Mountain, Gao Donghua and the mysterious masters all appeared. It is said that the snow mountain was knocked down several meters. However, Zhenren Li didn't know who the mysterious master was, so don't ask the elders, and the elders of Kunlun Mountain are also very high in cultivation. I advise the elders not to have conflicts with them."
"Is Kunlun Mountain the Kunlun Mountain in myths and legends?" Elder Yin asked with interest.
Cui Banxian nodded and said, "That's right, this matter has been confirmed. According to the senior Fengshen, the earth is now part of the prehistoric world, and was divided by the Master Tongtian Sect using his great magical powers from the prehistoric world. Li Zhenren also said that the starry sky above our heads are all illusions, and the power of the saint is really... infinitely terrifying!"
