Chapter 3417

This strange tree was different from Dawn Rain Continent and Hidden Immortal Continent. The thick tree trunk was like a pagoda in a temple, stacked up layer by layer. This tree trunk was also bare, no branches could be seen. Only when it reached the top of the tree crown did it extend several zhang wide branches in all directions.

The leaves that made up the tree crown were also interesting. They were like palm-leaf fans. When the wind blew, the tree crown swayed, as if a big hand was shaking hundreds of palm-leaf fans at the same time.

The fruits of this strange tree also attracted Xiao Hua's attention. These fruits were different from spirit fruits and spirit trees. They were not hanging on the branches, but just stuck to the top of the tree crown, raised high. Moreover, each tree only bore nine fruits.

These fruits were of different sizes. The big ones were the size of a head, and the small ones were only the size of a fist.

The fruits looked very strong. The green fruit skin tightly wrapped the fruit. Even if it fell from the top of the tree, the fruit would not be torn apart.

The scenery was naturally in Xiao Hua's eyes, but what he paid attention to was the people in the scenery.

The mortals of Elysium World were no different from Hidden Immortal Continent, but their skin was slightly darker, and their clothes were different.

Most of the men wore short clothes, while the women wore light veils that covered their skin and faces.

Of course, in addition to the secular people, most of them were ordinary monks.

In Elysium World, there were many temples. These temples were either big or small, and the incense burning there was exuberant. Whenever Xiao Hua's Buddhist sense swept through the temples, he would see pious men and women kowtowing, offering incense, and giving money.

Of course, Xiao Hua's Buddhist sense was often detected by the senior monks in the temples. At the beginning, Xiao Hua hurriedly withdrew his Buddhist sense, fearing that it would cause a misunderstanding. But after a long time, Xiao Hua found that not only did the Buddhist sense not have any hostility toward the temples, but it was also very kind. When it came into contact with his Buddhist sense, it would immediately withdraw, without any further warning.

"Elysium World!!

Is it really a Elysium World? "

Looking at the pious faces of the men and women, looking at the smiles on the faces of the monks, Xiao Hua sighed again. "Are the people of Elysium World very satisfied?

Alas, in this Xiao's opinion, Buddhism is a special sect among Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism. Rather than saying it is a cultivation method, it is better to say it is a kind of faith!

Although soul cultivators also emphasized on the power of faith, their believers were all natives of Meng Mountains, and their range was limited.

As for the Buddhist Sect … because of the doctrine of Buddhism, everyone could believe in the Lord Buddha. Although the power of faith of a single person was weak, and could not be compared to the millions of natives in Meng Mountains, there were so many of them. Perhaps there were hundreds of millions of people in the entire Elysium!

This level of power of faith … Holy sh * t, it should be enough for the Buddha Lord to become a Buddha!

Or perhaps this belief … was the root of happiness?

Since they were all beliefs, what was the relationship between the Twelve Great Gods of soul cultivation and the Buddha of Buddhism Sect?

Why does my Dao Sect … not have a Dao Ancestor?

Why doesn't our Dao Sect have any faith? "

The more Xiao Hua thought about it, the more he thought about it. He had thought about it before, but at that time, it was all doubts and doubts. Now that he saw the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect, he couldn't help but think deeply.

Ci Hui opened her eyes and saw that Xiao Hua was also pondering with his eyes closed. She smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Ti Pu, have you comprehended anything?"

Xiao Hua didn't open his eyes. He smiled and said, "This little monk was a little tired just now, so I took a short rest!"

Only Xiao Hua himself could solve the problem of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism. He didn't think that this Ci Hui, who only knew about Buddhism, could help him in any way.

"Look into the distance, we have arrived at the Saint River!" Ci Hui didn't think it was a big deal. She pointed her finger into the distance and said with a smile.

"Oh?

So fast? "

Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. He opened his eyes and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw a stretch of green water spreading between the Heaven and Earth. One end of the green water was connected to the mountain range and the green shade, while the other end was connected to the boundless sky. The green water in the distance was so close to the color of the sky that it was impossible to distinguish the boundary.

It was as if the green water was the falling of the Milky Way.

Looking at the green water again, there were white sails smaller than a handkerchief. Under the white sails, there were doll-like boats that didn't move for a long time. Xiao Hua understood that it wasn't that these boats didn't move, but rather that they were drifting like the big boats nearby. It was just that they were too far away from here. The distance that the big boats drifted over was too small in his eyes.

"This … is this the South Sea or the Saint River?" Xiao Hua was dumbfounded. Wasn't this river too wide?

"Nonsense, where is the South Sea? This can only be the Saint River!"

Ci Hui lightly reprimanded Xiao Hua and said, "This Saint River is known as the origin of the two seas. Not only is it vast and magnificent, it crosses the Pure Land World and has thousands of tributaries that converge into it. Wherever the river reaches, there are hundreds of millions of Buddhists. I don't know how many Buddhists rely on the Saint River to survive."

"What is that?" While speaking, Xiao Hua frowned and pointed his finger in a direction.

"Oh?" Ci Hui didn't understand and followed Xiao Hua's finger.

She saw that it was a river bay that was several li in size. The Saint River's water flowed slowly, circling and flowing between two hills. The hills were several li in size, forming a very calm river bay.

The two hills were ordinary and not very tall. However, on the hills, there were two Buddha statues that were several zhang in size. Therefore, this river bay was different.

At this time, on top of the hills, there were many men and women who climbed up with difficulty and piously prostrated themselves in front of the Buddha statues.

Below the hills, the river bay was abnormally lively.

What Xiao Hua said was a group of more than ten people. Everyone in this group was wearing plain clothes. There were also some women with white flowers on their temples. In front of the group, there were several people carrying something that looked like a flower basket. However, in the flower basket, there were not only flowers, but also an old man who was lying naked in the flowers.

The old man's hands were crossed in front of his chest. His eyes were tightly closed and his face revealed a kind of serene smile.

This group of people walked to an empty spot at the side of Riverbend and slowly came to a stop. The few people at the front put down the 'flower baskets', and the ten people at the back rushed forward. The woman plucked the white flowers from her temples and threw them into the 'flower baskets'. Then, everyone worked together to lift the 'flower baskets' and sent them into Riverbend!

Although the river water in the river bay was gentle, it was still flowing. After the "flower basket" entered the river bay, it immediately floated into the river bay along with the river water.

The "flower basket" was originally made of rattan. Just as it floated out several zhang, the river water immediately rushed in. The river water increased and gradually lifted the old man's body. Then, the "flower basket" gradually sank.

"Amitabha …" At the side of the river bay, the more than ten men and women had smiles on their faces. Although there were some women with sparkling and translucent tears at the corners of their eyes, they still chanted the Buddhist scriptures in an abnormally pious manner.

Following everyone's gaze, the flower basket sank to the bottom of the river bay. The old man's body was indeed half-sinking and half-floating, moving along with the river flow.

It was very obvious that this was the old man's funeral. These more than ten men and women should be the old man's children and relatives.

If it was just this, Xiao Hua might not be surprised. Whether it was the cremation of the old monk from the Exquisite Temple or the burial of the ordinary cultivators from the Xiaoyu Continent, Xiao Hua had seen them all. This water burial was not considered rare.

However, this river bay was more than ten li in size. Not only were there many people at the side of the river bay, there were also many people inside the river bay.

Of the people inside the river bay, some were taking a bath, some were immersing themselves in the water devoutly. Of course, there were also some people who were floating on the water just like that. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. The people outside the river bay, some were kneeling by the side of the river, kowtowing to the ground. It was unknown what their mouths were muttering. Some were prostrating themselves on the water, devoutly cupping the river water with their hands and drinking it in big mouthfuls. There were also some people who were holding a few boxes in their hands, splashing something into the river water. If Xiao Hua was not surprised, it should be the embers of the corpse after the fire.

When the old man's corpse slid into the river water, there were still a few people who were wildly drinking the river water. These people only slightly moved to the side. Then, they simply ignored the old man and continued to pour the river water into their mouths!!

As for the old man's corpse floating by, the people in the river water turned a blind eye to it. They simply did not care.

The people in the river water did not pay attention to the old man's corpse. However, the fish in the water and the birds in the sky did. Not long after the old man's corpse floated into the river bay, fat river fish swam over and surrounded the naked corpse in the water. On the river surface, several birds also flew down, either eating the river fish or swallowing the corpse.

As for the old man's son on the river bank, not only did he not anxiously chase away the birds and fish, his face was instead filled with joy.

"These … these people … aren't they too crazy?"

Xiao Hua looked at the inconceivable actions of the various people in the river bay and unconsciously became dumbstruck. He whispered.

"Amitabha …" Ci Hui, however, acted as if this was a common occurrence. She chanted Buddha's name and laughed. "What's so strange about this?

Junior Brother Ti Pu is a bit obsessed!

Junior Brother Ti Pu, don't you know?

Although this Saint River has the title of a Confucian 'Saint', our Buddhist Sect has never planned to change its name.

However, this great river that runs through the Pure Land world already has no name in the hearts of billions of Buddhist people. Whether it is called Saint River or Buddha River, in the hearts of Buddhist people, it is only a Buddha River!

It is a river that is unique in the hearts of billions of Buddhist people!

It is a river that is filled with the blessings of Buddha, a river that carries the past life, present life and future life of Buddhist people. "

Looking at Xiao Hua's slightly frowning appearance, Ci Hui excitedly said. "Junior Brother Ti Pu, seeing this scene, could it be that you are not happy?

Could it be that you don't feel that this is the eternal state of Buddha's light in our Pure Land world?

Do you know that this great river is connected to the Land of Bliss in the hearts of Buddhist people?

The origin of this river is the exit of the Land of Bliss, the destination of this river is the entrance of the Land of Bliss. Look at that newborn baby Boy, after he was washed in this river, he received the blessings of Buddha. As for that old man who just passed away, he washed the dust of his life here. His dirty and smelly skin was left in the river, his clean soul flowed into the Land of Bliss along with the river. "
