All My Disciples Are Kings

The kind smile on the abbot's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at the elegant man in front of him with some surprise.

To be honest, this matter is actually a tacit truth among the major forces, but no one has ever dared to say it without any conflict of interest, let alone say it in the territory of Buddhism. Such words are detrimental to the foundation of Buddhism.

However, as a Buddhist, he is naturally very good at nourishing qi. A kind smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "Nature will not force you. If you don't believe in Buddha, we will not force you. Everyone has their own choice."

These words are impeccable.

Ning Chenxin didn't know where to find a breakthrough. He stared at the abbot, except for the shock in the previous moment, which didn't reveal too many flaws.

However, it was this momentary shock that made Ning Chen completely convinced that there were some problems in Buddhism today.

If it is really what Ning Chen thinks, Buddhism will use some harmful method to attack ordinary mortals in order to gain the power of their faith.

 This is something Ning Chenxin cannot accept no matter what.

“Perhaps the donor shouldn’t label us as Buddhists. Buddhism is upright and will not do such sloppy things.” The abbot clasped his hands and said, “If the donor came here for this matter, I think the donor should be able to go down the mountain.”

 “This person is a big problem.”

 After Ning Chenxin left the Buddhist temple, he went straight down the mountain.

 …

 The people here do not have arable land. The soil is cold and cold, and the soil is not good, so it is not suitable for planting. They only raise some livestock to meet their food and clothing needs.

Clues can only be found in people who retain a shred of self-awareness.

 It can be considered a village on the edge of Buddhist territory.

 It is not large in scale, slightly smaller than Fumiao Village.

Now that I have a guess in my mind, there is no need to stay here any longer. There is no clue to be found anyway.

So he stood up and said goodbye, "Excuse me."

 No clues found.

The abbot looked at Ning Chenxin who was drifting away, and his kind smile was gone! Some of them just had indifferent faces and murderous intent in their eyes.

 Hantu Village.

When Ning Chenxin stepped out of the threshold with one foot, he asked without looking back: "If the Buddha only exists for the power of faith and does whatever it takes...then there is no need for the Buddha to exist."

 The abbot also stood up and sent Ning Chenxin to the door.

After saying these words, he raised his feet again and left the Buddhist temple.

There is nothing to investigate on the mountain.

Thinking of this, Ning Chenxin deliberately found a village relatively far away from the Buddhist territory.

However, Ning Chenxin came here not to get any clues, but just to confirm whether Buddhism had done anything harmful to Tianhe.

Since most Buddhists are ordinary mortals, let’s investigate from some villages around Buddhism.

 If they are too close, it is very likely that they are all believers, and it will be difficult to find out anything.

 Walked through more than a dozen villages, and finally stopped at the entrance of a village with three characters engraved on it.

 Ning Chenxin walked in.

The few villagers among them were slightly startled when they saw Ning Chen dressed in white, and their eyes were full of vigilance or curiosity.

 Look around.

 Let go of your perception and find that most of the villagers still have a small Buddha statue in these houses.

At this time, an old man walked up to Ning Chenxin with his waist bent and a cane, and asked: "This... Immortal Master, I wonder why you came to our Hantu Village?"

Ning Chenxin shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I want to come in and ask some questions."

The village chief was slightly startled, "I wonder what the immortal master wants to ask?"

Ning Chenxin looked around and saw a bronze-skinned young man feeding the chickens, and then walked over minding his own business. As if he noticed Ning Chen's heart, the young man looked over. After just one glance, he turned his head again.

Seeing this, Ning Chenxin also noticed the unwelcome looks from other villagers on the young man, and then asked, "What's your name?"

 The boy did not answer.

 “Then why do you have a bad relationship with other villagers?”

The young man's face tightened, and he continued to spread the feed. He looked at the chickens pecking in front of him and still said nothing.

Ning Chenxin decided to take a strong dose of medicine, so he directly said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Is it because of Buddhism?"

The young man then looked at Ning Chenxin, his mouth slightly opened, but he didn't speak, he just nodded slightly.

Ning Chen smiled heartily: "Then the other villagers believe in you, so why don't you?"

The young man spoke for the first time and said solemnly: "What's the use of believing in Buddhism? Can it fix this cold land?"

Ning Chen shook his head: "Can't..."

 “Isn’t that right?”

“But I can.” Ning Chen smiled heartily, and then turned his palm over, and the entire soil of Hantu Village was surrounded by a white halo.

 Integrate your own power into it, filling the originally devoid soil with vitality.

 Other villagers burst into laughter when they saw this scene.

They all knelt down in front of Ning Chenxin.

 “Thank you so much, Master Immortal, thank you so much, Master Immortal!”

“The Immortal Master must be sent by Buddhism to save our Hantu Village.”

 “Praying every day still has an effect!”

The young man was also a little dazed, and then asked: "Are you a Buddhist?"

"No." Ning Chenxin shook his head and said with a smile: "Now that I have helped you, you have to answer my questions, okay?"

 The young man hesitated for a moment but then nodded and said, "Then come to my house."

After saying that, he led Ning Chenxin into a small house made of stones.

The young man moved a shabby chair and placed it in front of Ning Chenxin. After Ning Chenxin sat down, he looked around and saw that there was nothing related to Buddhism, and then asked: "Everyone here seems to be a Buddhist believer, what about you? "

 “I’m not, but they often persuade us to believe in Buddhism.”

“Then do you know why they are so obsessed with Buddhism?” Ning Chen wondered: “This kind of thing definitely didn’t happen suddenly, right?”

The young man nodded and said: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that my grandfather once told me that a Bald Donkey came to Hantu Village and taught some things. At that time, most of the people in Hantu Village They all started to believe in Buddhism.”

 Teach something?

Just when Ning Chen had not thought about anything yet.

There was a big bell ringing outside.

Ning Chenxin wanted to go out to see the situation, but was pulled back by the young man, saying: "Don't go out, this is the time when the village collectively chants sutras and worships Buddha."

 Chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha in a group?

Ning Chenxin frowned slightly.

 Have even such fringe areas reached this level of fanaticism?

 This situation is too abnormal.

Ning Chen's heart didn't go out, but he watched the situation outside through his senses.

 At the entrance of Hantu Village, I saw a giant Buddha statue as tall as a human being. The village chief took the lead and sat cross-legged on a futon to chant sutras and then kowtowed.

Wisps of power of faith flew out from their heavenly spirit caps and flowed into the giant Buddha sculpture...
