Nestled deep in the mountainous landlocked of South Asia, this country is also the only country in the world that regards Hinduism as the state religion. In present-day Nepal, 90 percent of the population is Hindu and 8 percent are Buddhist. It is an extremely interesting phenomenon that Hinduism originated in India but became the state religion in Nepal, and that the birthplace of the Buddha was in Nepal but became popular in India.

In fact, however, most Nepalis believe in both Hinduism and Buddhism, because Hinduism and Buddhism were mixed with Tantra to form a separate religion long ago. Moreover, Hinduism allows believers to choose their preferred religious rites, so in addition to Hinduism and Buddhism, Islam has spread in Nepal.

Moreover, someone once made such a statistic that these religions, large and small, have formed nearly 22 million gods in Nepal, almost the same as Nepal's population of 26 million, which is even more incredible.

"God, there are so many gods, if you usually pray or something, and recite it all in one breath, then you can't exhaust people to death......" Listening to Sophia's eloquent talk about the current religious situation in Nepal, Zhang San sighed madly.

Even Lin Bai was in a trance, he originally thought that the place where the Buddha was born should be a unique Buddha country in the world, but he didn't think that things were not at all the same as what he imagined.

"Let's not pay attention to such things as religion, we can't interfere with what people believe in as their freedom. Let's hurry up and go to the place of Buddha's birth in Lumbini to see if the key to the Eight Doors Lock Dragon Bureau is in this place! Chen Bai'an looked at the appearance of everyone discussing other people's housework with relish, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh bitterly.

Hearing the old man's words, everyone did not dare to say anything more, and when they arrived at the station, they found a car to Lumbini and sat on it. Although this car is really dilapidated compared to those luxury buses in China, the good news is that the scenery outside the window is pleasant, and everyone is looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and they have no time to think about the feelings of these foreign objects.

However, what made Lin Bai and the others a little suspicious was that according to common sense, in such a predominantly Hindu country, there should not be too many people going to Lumbini, but along the way, everyone saw many cars speeding in the direction of Lumbini, and there were many ascetics wearing traditional Hindu clothes.

With some hesitation in his heart, Lin Bai took out a few copper coins from his arms and began to deduce the hexagram of this trip to Lumbini, but the result of the speculation was that he was confused, and the future was obscure, so that people could not deduce what would happen this time, and they could not determine whether the trip would go smoothly. And this hexagram does not seem to be blinded by heaven, but more like a state of affairs.

Although he was quite puzzled in his heart, Lin Bai didn't think much about it, since the hexagram can't be clear, then take one step at a time, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, with the means and strength of his own line, I'm afraid that there is really no one who can stop the footsteps of moving forward.

After a good morning, the car was driving near Lumbini. It is completely different from the border area, where the trees are shady, the streams are murmuring, and the fragrant orchid flowers are dotted with spring colors. The peaks and peaks between the mountains are towering, the mist is thick, the mountain wind is whistling, and the pine needles are plucked by the wind, such as countless piano keys ringing, converging into a majestic, majestic symphony.

Wisps of clouds drift from the mountains to the flat ground like light smoke, like a gentle veil covering the earth with a layer of mystery. And in the clouds, there are countless temples, as if it is the Western Elysium in Buddhist legends.

Needless to say, from the solemn-faced faces of the Buddhists in the car, it was clear that the car had arrived in Lumbini.

Legend has it that one day in 565 B.C., Queen Maya Devi of the Kapila Kingdom passed by the Lumbini Gardens on her way back to her mother's home, and was attracted by the beauty of the flowers, so she stayed there to enjoy it.

The next day, on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Ni calendar, after nightfall, the round moon hung in the sky, and the silver moonlight sprinkled the garden, and Queen Devi was immersed in the beauty of the good day, and gave birth to the prince Siddhartha in the garden without pain.

Prince Siddhartha was dignified and gifted. His father, King Pure Rice, had great hopes for him. When he was 16 years old, he married a beautiful princess from a neighboring country. But Siddhartha was very thoughtful and thought deeply about the sufferings of life.

When he was 29 years old, Siddhartha abandoned his noble position, left his wife and children, shaved his beard, and traveled through the mountains and wilderness to visit famous teachers in order to relieve the pain of life. In his middle age, he finally realized his enlightenment under a Bodhi tree. Created the Buddhist doctrine. Since he is a member of the Shakya tribe. Therefore, his followers and followers respectfully call him "Shakyamuni", which means "the saint of the Shakyamuni clan".

After Siddhartha founded Buddhism, Lumbini was regarded as a Buddhist shrine because it was here that saints were born.

As early as more than 1,500 years ago, the Chinese monk Fa Xian of the Jin Dynasty took Xinjiang to cross the quicksand, crossed the green mountains, and came to Lumbini through India, becoming the first person to visit Nepal among foreign people with real records. Master Xuanzang, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Tang Sanzang, the prototype of Journey to the West, came here in 633 AD to pay homage and learn scriptures.

What Buddhists are asking for the blessing of the Buddha is here, and when a physiognomy like Lin Bai arrives in such a place where he has given birth to a sage, it is naturally the local atmosphere here that he wants to observe. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around.

I saw that the mountains and rivers here are embraced, the Tibetan wind gathers qi, and its veins go down from the top of the northeast dome, layer by layer, like a bead, this is the feng shui in the veins of the earth to do the saying of the stars, which is extremely precious; And in the vicinity of Lumbini, there are Bagmati River and Visnuti River surrounding, two waters, one inside and one outside, one goes and one comes, one goes and one reverses, and the foothills of the world, such as the protection of the treasure platform.

No mountains do not become dragons, no water does not become lucky, here the mountains and rivers meet, slowly merge, it is an excellent place to gather vitality, and there is no resentment that there is a sage like Sakyamuni who can open up Buddhism was born here.

"The holy mountain and holy water come out of the saints, and the weather is really thousands, the feng shui here is unique, although it is different from the place where the emperors of the ages rely on Yanjing, but it can also be regarded as unique, and it relies on faith, has a long history, and can completely compete with the place where the king is favored!" After observing for a long time, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Zhang Sanmad also nodded again and again when he heard this, this time Kunlun Mountain's trip, the biggest harvest is except for the little black cat that has devoured countless yin and evil breaths, I'm afraid it will belong to him! Kunlun is the land of the ancestral dragon leyline, this time he has come here, it has deepened his attainments in the Kanyu leyline several times, and at this time, he can't see the special nature of this place of Buddha's birth.

"Okay, let's not feel bad here. There are so many people gathered here now, and the hotel is estimated to be full. Let's hurry up and find a place to stay, if we delay until dark, we will have to follow the example of the Buddha to sleep in the mountains and wilderness! Chen Bai'an looked at the people who kept looking around, shook his head with a wry smile, and pretended to reprimand.

Lin Bai smiled when he heard this, reached out and rubbed Sophia's little head, and said, "Little girl, you look so cute, and you stick to us here, then I will give you the task of finding a place to stay, don't let us down!" ”

"Don't rub my head, there are rules in Nepal, but anyone who enters this place has a god on his head, and if you touch someone's head, you are blaspheming. You look around, and some people are already glaring at you! Sophia twisted her neck, broke free her little head from Lin Bai's clutches, and then said timidly.

Lin Bai was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly looked around, and it was really as this little girl said, the believers around him who were originally worshipping sincerely were all staring at the direction where they were at this time, and their lips trembled even more, obviously Lin Bai's behavior just now was classified into the category of disrespecting the gods.

Looking at the reactions of these people, Lin Bai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, but he was helpless, these were the beliefs that others had respected all their lives, and he was not wronged by doing this kind of thing rashly now, causing some anger among these people.

However, what surprised Lin Bai and the others was that since entering Nepal, Sophia seemed to be a different person, where was there still the previous appearance of looking down on all beings, but returned to the simplicity and innocence of a five or six-year-old girl.

Maybe others thought she was cute, and she really asked her to find a place for everyone to stay, not a family hotel, but a family of three, and there was a little girl about Sophia's age in this home. After these two little ghosts got together, they actually fell in love very much, and the fight was in full swing, and under the leadership of the little girl, they shuttled between the major temples non-stop.

However, it is a pity that Lin Bai and the others have been patrolling this Lumbini for a long time, but they have not found the slightest thing about the Eight Gates Lock Dragon Bureau, as if everything has been completely disconnected after arriving here, and it no longer exists.

Chen Bai'an couldn't hold it back, and he also took the copper coin to divinate a hexagram, but it was the same as the hexagram that Lin Bai divined in the car, and the future was foggy, and he couldn't find the slightest clue at all, and the good and evil were not clear.

"Distinguished guests, dinner is ready." At this moment, the man walked up to everyone and beckoned.

Nepal's food is unremarkable, and it is a Buddhist shrine, and the dishes are made from domestic vegetables. However, although the taste is average, looking at the tranquil looks of the couple, it can't help but calm people's hearts.

"Is Pratty at home? The selection of the Living Goddess has begun, why don't you couple bring her here?! At this moment, a cold scolding suddenly came from outside the door.
