Chapter 3329

"That's right!" Jingcheng smiled wryly. "Disciple can't compare to grandmaster. I was in a daze for half a day.

Disciple couldn't figure out how the hundreds of thousands of villagers in Longevity Town could help Grandmaster Ci Hang attain fruition.

What's more, he didn't seem to care about the Buddhist fruit at all.

According to Xingchen, Grandmaster Ci Hang didn't react at all to the fact that he didn't attain fruition and just left. Disciple can't compare to such a pure heart! "

"Call Xingchen over!"

Ci Mei waved her hand. "I'm also very curious. The power of will from hundreds of thousands of villagers can't help our Buddhist Sect's Bodhisattva attain fruition. I want to ask in detail …"

"Yes, disciple will call Xingchen over right away." Jingcheng didn't dare delay and hurriedly got up. Just as he was about to fly out of the pavilion, he suddenly seemed to realize something. He stopped, looked around, and walked down the steps next to the pavilion. When his figure disappeared among the plum trees, Ci Mei revealed a faint smile.

However, this smile disappeared in a flash. Ci Mei raised her head to look at the sunlight again and said in a low voice, "Ci Hang, Ci Hang, which senior brother is this Ci Hang?"

After a short while, Xing Chen followed Jing Cheng to the pavilion. In front of Ci Mei, Xing Chen was like a little novice monk. He was very respectful and careful. After he recounted everything that had happened in the Longevity Town, he answered dozens of questions from Ci Mei. It was only when Xing Chen's forehead was covered in sweat that Ci Mei waved her hand, indicating for him to leave.

After Xingchen bowed and left carefully, Jingcheng looked at Ci Mei, who closed her eyes and pondered. He didn't dare to speak and could only stand there quietly.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Ci Mei suddenly asked, "Jingcheng, what do you think of this matter?"

"Disciple …" Jingcheng was startled and immediately said, "Disciple feels that this is an excellent opportunity for our Buddhist Sect to defeat the Confucian cultivators in Longevity Town. As long as we guide the Ascetics into Longevity Town, Longevity Academy definitely won't be able to establish itself in Longevity Town!"

"Jingcheng, you're wrong!" Ci Mei said decisively, "Completely wrong!"

"This?" Jingcheng was even more shocked and hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, please enlighten me!"

"The Confucian cultivators of Immortality Town don't need to care. They have no place in Immortality Town!"

Ci Mei says with a smile, "Moreover, Longevity Town is the number one town where my Buddhist Sect defeated Confucian cultivators in Hidden Immortal Continent!"

"Disciple doesn't see far enough. Grandmaster, please teach me!" How could Jingcheng have Ci Mei's vision?

Zhang Xuan hurriedly asked.

"Jingcheng, tell me, why was Senior Brother Cihang able to attain fruition?

And it was the Bodhisattva Buddha Fruit?

Why didn't you succeed? "

"I only know that in order to attain fruition, one must practice good deeds and recite Buddhist scriptures.

Different good deeds lead to different Buddha fruits … "

"How many good deeds do you think the Bodhisattva Buddha Fruit needs?" Ci Mei asked with interest.

"No matter what … I need at least a million good deeds, right?" Jing Cheng hesitated. After all, the Bodhisattva Buddha Fruit was too far away for him.

"Alas, that's not all!"

Ci Mei sighs slightly and says, "Attaining fruition is very complicated and can't be explained by simple good deeds. However, if we use the nine levels of essence energy to measure the cultivation strength of the three continents, the Buddhist Sect's Buddha Fruit can also be calculated simply by good deeds.

As far as I know, the most basic Indigo Buddha Fruit needs 855,555 good deeds to attain fruition, and the Venerable Buddha Fruit is three times more than the Indigo Buddha Fruit! "

"Ah?

That … that much? "Jingcheng is shocked.

"Even if there are so many good deeds, it might not be enough to attain fruition!"

Ci Mei says, "It's also related to the cultivation of the Arhat, karma, Buddhist fate, believer's wish energy, and so on …"

"Grandmaster, let's not talk about other things, but just the good deeds …" Jingcheng says after some calculation, "If you want to attain the Bodhisattva Buddha Fruit, you need 45 million good deeds!

Even the wish energy and belief of hundreds of thousands of villagers in Immortality Town isn't enough for Grandmaster Cihang to attain the Bodhisattva Buddha Fruit, right? "

"Indeed ~" Ci Mei nodded. "This is the reason why I asked you to bring Xingchen here. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I really don't understand how Senior Brother Cihang can attain such a great Buddha Fruit."

"I've already asked all the disciples to check the records of the Buddhist Sect and Confucian cultivators, and even the history of Immortality Town, but I couldn't find the origin of Grandmaster Cihang," Jingcheng says.

"Even according to the villagers of Immortality Town, it's hard to determine when Grandmaster Cihang appeared in Immortality Town.

Some say it was a hundred years, some say it was a thousand years, and some say it was ten thousand years. "

"No matter what, Senior Brother Cihang has been to Immortality Town in the past!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left a statue in Jiangchao Temple for people to worship! "Ci Mei says with a nod.

"Senior Brother Cihang also cultivates with hair. Could he be a lay disciple of the Buddhist Sect?" Jingcheng probed.

Ci Mei looks at Jingcheng and shakes her head. "If he were a lay disciple, he definitely wouldn't have the Dharma name of Cihang!

Don't doubt this point. "

Jingcheng's face turns red and he quickly says, "Disciple doesn't dare, this is only my guess."

"Hmm, this … involves some secrets of the Buddhist Sect. You haven't cultivated in the Buddhist temple in the Pure Land World, so you probably don't know."

Ci Mei doesn't blame him and says, "Even I only found these records in the Scripture Pavilion after I took over Hanling Temple."

Jingcheng puts his hands together and says seriously, "If it involves the secrets of the Buddhist Sect, Grandmaster doesn't need to tell Disciple!"

Ci Mei smiles at Jingcheng and says, "That's right, it's true!

Even if you don't want to know, I'll tell you. Even if you beg me, I won't tell you what you shouldn't know!

You only need to understand this today to have a chance of attaining enlightenment. "

"Yes, Disciple understands!" Jingcheng calmly nodded. There was a look of understanding on his white haired face.

"Actually, it's not much of a secret!"

Jingcheng doesn't want to know anymore. Ci Mei says seriously, "Our Buddhist Sect has many branches. Some are Mahayana Buddhism, some are Hinayana Buddhism, and some are the ten Buddhist Sects."

"Yes, Disciple knows. Our Hanling Temple belongs to the Tiantai Sect."

Jingcheng says with a smile, "It seems that in addition to the Tantric Sect, there are other sects like Complete Sect, Complete Sect, Xing Sect, Xiang Sect, Virtuous Head Sect, Zen Sect, Pure Land Sect, and Vinaya Sect."

"Yes, that's true!"

Ci Mei nods, "However, before the Buddhist light of the Pure Land World shone on the Hidden Immortal Continent, or perhaps before the formation of the ten Buddhist Sects, there was a Buddhist Sect disciple with a completely different cultivation method from us. They were called Dhuta.

Dhuta is also called Dhuta Xing, Dhuta Matters, and Dhuta Meritorious Virtue. It means to get rid of dirt and worries.

It means to get rid of greed for clothes, food, and shelter in order to cultivate the mind and body.

All monks who practice the ascetic practice of Dhuta must strictly observe the following twelve rules of practice in their daily life: they must choose a free place; they must live a life of abstinence; they must eat sparingly; they must eat only once a day; they must beg for food, regardless of whether they are rich or poor; they must not drink milk after lunch; they must guard the three clothings; they must wear dung and sweep clothes; they must always sit under a tree to think; they must always meditate in the open; they must always live in the grave; they must always sit and not lie down.

You can't even trim your hair or nails. "

"Ah?

There's … there's such an ascetic cultivation method? "Obviously, Jingcheng has never heard of Ku Dhuta and can't help but be surprised.

"Yes, Ku Dhuta believes that a person's life is originally miserable, and only through ascetic cultivation can one pass through the sea of bitterness. However, even a trace of enjoyment will taint oneself with the fire of the sea of bitterness, and when one is reincarnated, he will fall into the Animal Path."

Ci Mei says, "The minds of these monks are always tenacious, and their Buddhist doctrines are profound. Even their methods of subduing demons are better than those of us ordinary monks.

I suspect that … Ci Hang is Ku Dhuta. "

"Alas, I understand now!"

Jingcheng smiles bitterly, "If we Buddhists publicize Ku Dhuta's cultivation method, how can there be secular people who shave their heads and become monks?

People are afraid of hardships, and they find it inconceivable that they don't eat meat and get married. If they continue to live like this, they will treat us Buddhists as snakes and scorpions. "

"That's true ~" Ci Mei nods, "Although Ku Dhuta's cultivation method is very effective, there are very few monks who practice it, and they have already faded out of Buddhist cultivation!

Of course, I admire these Ku Dhuta a lot, and only their cultivation is true cultivation. However … this kind of cultivation is not beneficial to the illumination of our Buddhist light! "

"If Grandmaster Ci Hang is Ku Dhuta, it's normal that we don't know his name!"

Jingcheng smiles obsequiously and says, "Moreover, he has cultivated for many years and accumulated a lot of good karma. The pure willpower of the hundreds of thousands of people in Longevity Town might be the last good karma."

"So …" Ci Mei squints and says word by word, "We want to help the villagers of Longevity Town build the golden body of Nanwu Guanyin Bodhisattva in Jiangchao Temple and help Senior Brother Ci Hang attain karma!"

"Ah?" Jingcheng is shocked. "Grandmaster, this … this doesn't conform to our Buddhist dharma, right?

Grandmaster Ci Hang, he has yet to achieve fruition? "

"What is Buddhist dharma?" Ci Mei says with a smile, "You know, I know, and thousands of Buddhists know!

However, do the villagers of Longevity Town and the kind men and women who go to Jiangchao Temple to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva know?

They want to build the supreme golden body of Nanwu Guanyin Bodhisattva in Longevity Town, do we need to stop them? "

"Hiss …" Jingcheng takes a deep breath, his eyes widening as he blurts out, "Supreme … supreme golden body?

Grandmaster, the supreme golden body can only be built by Buddhists who have attained karma. Even if Grandmaster Ci Hang has attained karma, Guanyin Bodhisattva's karma isn't enough to build a hundred feet supreme golden body. "

Ci Mei doesn't care about Jingcheng's surprise and says slowly, "Senior Brother Ci Hang hasn't attained karma, so he naturally can't build a golden body. Even if he did, he can only build an eighty feet Bodhisattva golden body. This is our Buddhist dharma.

However, this is the Hidden Immortal Continent!

There isn't a single golden body of Buddhism in the entire Hidden Immortal Continent. Now that Buddha has given us the opportunity, how can we let it go?

I've already sent a Buddhist certificate to Leiyin Temple to build a ninety-nine feet Nanwu Guanyin Bodhisattva golden body for Senior Brother Ci Hang in Longevity Town's Jiangchao Temple. If nothing goes wrong, Buddha Lord will agree! "
