Chapter 5: The Buddha's World V

Lang Bu on the side interjected: "Even if our people here want to be servants of the gods and Buddhas, they will not necessarily be accepted, and even if they are accepted, they will have to take out countless offerings, if they can't take it out, it is better not to worship at the feet of the gods and Buddhas, but in this way, your people will never want to raise their heads in front of others, anyone can come and bully you, but the messenger of the Buddha will not speak for you."

Fang Zhong couldn't help but feel that the power of the Buddhism here was so great, much stronger than any sect in the Eastern Territory. Fang Zhong said again: "Old man, since you have traveled so many roads, let me ask you one thing. "What's the matter?" "I wonder if you've ever heard of the Bodhi tree?" "Bodhi Tree? What kind of tree is this? I really don't know. The old man shook his head, but said with great certainty: "If this tree is very precious, it must be under the protection of the Buddha and has been guarded by someone for a long time." "It's guarded, and it's powerful." Fang Zhong thought of the person who could use his strange magical powers to kill the Cangtang Master thousands of miles away. "Then there is nothing wrong with that, anything precious is owned by the Buddha, and the more precious it is, the more so. Along the way, from west to east, I have seen countless people dedicate their most precious things to the Buddha, and the Buddha has given these things to the Dharma King, the Buddha Mother, and countless Dharma Masters under his throne. Fang Zhong's heart moved, and he asked, "Are there many Dharma Kings and Buddha Mothers under the Buddha's seat?" "I don't know about that, but every magnificent Buddha city has a Dharma King in charge, and that can't be wrong." "Buddha City?" Lang preached: "It is a very huge temple, as big as countless cities, and it is called the Buddha City. Fang Zhong said: "How big is the gap between that and the Zhebei Temple we are about to go to?" Lang Bu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Zhebei Temple is like an ant, and the Buddha city where His Holiness sits is like an elephant, which is not easy to compare at all. Fang Zhong said: "Where is the nearest Buddha city to us, and what is its name?" Lang Bu hurriedly said: "I know this, I don't need to say it from the old man." The nearest Buddha city to us is called the City of the Dead Body, and although I haven't been there, I've heard that it's very huge, and I just walked around the city, and I couldn't finish it for three days. The old man also nodded and said, "The corpse city is the Buddha city closest to the east. In addition, in the years of traveling, I have also encountered two such large Buddha cities, one is called Duguo Castle and the other is called Haiye Castle, and I don't know if there is a Buddha Castle or not. Fang Zhong casually asked, "If these Buddha cities are already the largest temples and are run by the Dharma King, where is the Buddha?" Lang Bu and the old man looked at each other and shook their heads. Fang Zhong wondered if they were from the temple after all, it was good to be able to tell him so much, maybe he could know more details from the mouths of the monks. Since he and Lang Bu are going to Nazhebei Temple to save people next, you might as well grab one or two and ask. The old man asked, "Are you going to Zhebei Temple?" Fang Zhong said: "Yes, has the old man also been there?" "Hehe, that Zhebei Temple is nothing at all in my eyes, not only can it not be compared with the Buddha City, but it is also greatly inferior to ordinary temples, just the most ordinary temple, maybe not even a teacher. There is a Dharma King living in this Buddha City, and the grand monasteries that are worse than the Buddha City will have a Guru sitting in the town, and only those that are not even comparable to these grand monasteries will only be presided over by the Dharma Master in it. When Fang Zhong heard this, his heart was relieved, and he said with a smile: "When I have worshiped the master of Zhebei Temple, and then I will visit those masters and Dharma kings, if I can know where the Buddha is, it will not hurt to take a look." Fang Zhong just laughed casually, but the old man thought that Fang Zhong was really devout to the Buddha, and he was even more respectful to him. That night, he stayed in the tent and said nothing, and at dawn the next day, the old man heated the tea, roasted two legs of mutton, and gave them fragrant to Fang Zhong and Lang Bu. Fang Zhong thanked him and said goodbye to the old herdsman with Lang Bu. After a night's rest, not only did Langbu's injuries improve greatly, but the thin horse, after eating and sleeping well, also regained its heroic posture, galloping against the wind, the speed was much faster, and in a blink of an eye it ran out of dozens of miles, leaving countless mountains behind. In the early afternoon, when the two of them ran up a high slope, Lang Bu pointed to a large yellow roof tile in the valley in the distance, and said, "That is the Jebei Temple." Fang Zhong raised his eyes and saw that there were countless roofs, prayer flags, and pagodas of different shapes stood between the yellow walls and green tiles, looking at the scale, although it could not be compared with the Tsz Yun Temple, but it was much grander than the ordinary temple, but in the mouth of the old man and Lang Bu, this was a very ordinary temple, I really don't know how magnificent those larger temples were. At the same time, it can also be seen that the power of Buddhism here is incomparable. Around the temple, there are also many dwellings, which are low and gray, and obviously cannot be compared with the grandeur of the temple architecture. Lang Bu said: "The houses outside here are all built by people who depend on the temple for a living, there are inns and shops, just because the Zhebei Temple is smaller, so there are not many people, if it is a larger temple, it will be much more lively." Fang Zhong said: "Sure enough, unlike my Central Plains, temples have always been built in quiet places, in order to get rid of the red dust, how can there be a reason to gather people into a city." Isn't it disturbing for monks to cultivate? Lang Bu grabbed the hilt of the knife at his waist and asked, "Young Master Fang, will we rush in now to save people?" Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, find a place to stay first, and we'll go in at night before it's too late." "I thought that this Langbu's temperament was really anxious, there must be a lot of people in Zhebei Temple, even if he could fight it, would it be impossible to kill all these people. Langbu: "Okay, let's go find a place to live first." Fang Zhong looked at the hideous beast under the seat, frowned, and said, "I'm just afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to enter." Lang Bu was stunned and said, "Why? "My mount is a bit fierce and easy to frighten people." Lang Bu seemed to have encountered something funny, and said in surprise: "Don't you know, Young Master Fang, in our place, the more people who can subdue the beast, the more respected they are, and people like you can only admire your invincibility with it." If I had such a mount, I don't know how happy I would be, but I would pull it around for people to look at, so that no one would dare to bully me. Fang Zhong smiled: "If you say so, I won't have anything to do with it when I go in?" "Of course, there are a lot of strange beasts to see, and only the more unknown the beasts, the easier it is to be feared. In addition to the servants of the Buddha, everyone respects warriors like you the most. Fang Zhong finally understood that this was a world of the jungle at all, and only fear and admiration were the only goals for many people to survive, not to be a humble gentleman. If anyone is really humble and polite here, all that awaits him is contempt and bullying. What kind of living environment determines what kind of behavior to choose, and it is an unbreakable truth. After figuring out this verse, Fang Zhong smiled and said, "Let's go." "Rush down the hill first. The fierce wind raised by the monstrous beast running was particularly eye-catching, and before Fang Zhong had even entered the market, he had already been noticed, and countless people were looking over here, including many exotic women with good looks. Fang Zhong jumped off the hideous beast, and his young and handsome appearance immediately attracted a few women with long braids under the low house to lean on the windowsill and flick their eyes, covering their mouths and smiling, and the bolder ones were already waving to Fang Zhong. There were also some men in ragged clothes who were walking on the street, and when they saw Fang Zhong and the hideous beast standing in the middle of the street, they hurriedly flashed to the side of the street with a fearful look in their eyes. Lang Bu came from behind and said to Fang Zhong: "Young Master Fang, the inns outside here are not very good, only the ones closest to the temple are the most luxurious. Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's okay to have some casual." Lang Bu felt strange in his heart, he had seen Fang Zhong give away a few extremely valuable white wolf skins just to beg for one night, how could he care about a little money with such magnanimity. He didn't know that Fang Zhong didn't have much gold and silver on him, and Fang Zhong didn't know that the wolf skin in his hand was priceless, and people who had always been simple and used to it couldn't be luxurious if they wanted to. However, he is now only Fang Zhong's head, no matter what Fang Zhong said, he did this, and quickly chose a small inn that was not very good to live in, the person in charge of the inn was a middle-aged couple, and also raised a pair of children, the son was still young, and only the daughter was more watery, helping to serve tea and boil water. This daughter's eyes were only looking at Fang Zhong, and she was very curious about him.
