Hou Tu Niangniang's words made Chen Yi's heart move, the temptation of this merit sanctification is really not small.

But then he shook his head again, although this temptation was great, but he didn't need it, he couldn't say it clearly, the matter of the system was his biggest secret.

"What's the matter? Do you have to take the path of preaching the Tao with strength? You must know that no one has ever succeeded on this path except for the Pangu Great God!" Hou Tu Niang said earnestly.

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Niangniang, how can you know some things without trying?"

"Also, Niangniang, what is the merit of learning from the scriptures? The kid has never been able to understand why there is such merit!"

Hou Tu Niangniang smiled and said: "You can think of these shows that your mind is still very clear, this scripture is called taking scriptures, but it is just the Dharma eastward crossing!"

"If you come to occupy the Western Heavens, but the Dharma has never been preached, if you succeed in learning the scriptures and returning, then it is equivalent to helping Buddhism preach the Dharma, in the words of Buddhism, purifying sentient beings is merit!"

Chen Yi nodded and understood, but there was still a question that had been bothering him.

"Niangniang, it is said that faith is all based on personal will, why does this Buddhism want Buddhism to cross to the east? Could it be that it is achieved to have more believers?"

Hou Tu heard the words and asked, "Do you know the incense?"

"Niangniang is a little underestimated, isn't this incense the incense on the believers in the temple?" Chen Yi replied.

But Houtu shook his head and explained: "What you said is not right, incense is also called the power of wishes, also called the power of faith, the Daomen is better, there is a specific cultivation system, but the Buddhism is different, their cultivation is relatively simpler, whoever has more incense will have a higher cultivation!"

"Oh?" Seriously, it's the first time Chen Yi has heard that Buddhism is actually cultivated through incense.

"Do you know that Buddhism recites Amitabha Buddha when every person?" Hou Tuniangniang continued to explain Chen Yi's confusion: "Recite Amitabha Buddha when you meet people, so that it will increase Amitabha's wish, that is to say, if there is one more monk who recites Amitabha, Amitabha's cultivation will increase by one point!"

"Do you mean that Buddhism is actually competing for incense?" Chen Yi understood a little, he had always thought that Buddhism was just because there were few people who believed in Buddhism, so he would learn the scriptures, but he didn't expect it to be so selfish.

"It's not just Buddhism, but now there are also a lot of immortals cultivating the power of incense, don't laugh at the old woman, in fact, there are people who worship the old woman, the power of this incense, the old woman also understands some!" Hou Tu Niangniang smiled and said.

"What is the difference between this Buddhist sect cultivation incense and the traditional cultivation of the Taoist sect?" Chen Yi asked.

"If you want to say different, it can be very different, the traditional cultivation of Taoism not only requires understanding, but also requires qualifications, but the cultivation of incense in Buddhism is different, as long as there are more believers, more incense, you can naturally be promoted, it is much easier to compare, which is also the reason why Buddhism has been growing over the years!"

Chen Yi nodded, and then asked, "Niangniang, you said that there are many people in the Dao Sect today who cultivate the power of incense?"

"Yes, as big as the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor...... As young as the moon is old, the dragon god and the dragon king have temples in the mortal world, so they naturally enjoy the power of incense!"

"Niangniang, if you publicize the true purpose of these people, will you directly cut off their cultivation?"

Chen Yi suddenly noticed in his heart that the things that Lao Jun had confessed could not be completed, so he directly asked Brother Monkey to smash the temples of these people in the mortal world, and they jumped out angrily and followed out to crusade.

"It's easy to preach, but who believes?" Hou Tu chuckled: "To put it bluntly, the temples in the mortal world are all built by believers, and there is also the fact that they will try their best to satisfy the reasonable prayers of believers, which has caused the blindness of mortals, are you sure you can change the minds of mortals?"

Chen Yi was dumbfounded, this is really fucking true, not to mention the current Journey to the West world, even in the previous life, the people who go up the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha can be said to be one after the other, and the rich people even spend a high price to buy the so-called high-priced incense.

It is to hope that the person who worships can feel it and thus bless it.

However, Chen Yi has suffered from this, and he has also worshiped a lot of Guanyin in his previous life, and there is something like Emperor Zhenwu.

As a result, is it just a small wish to marry a wife? The result is that it can't be realized, and in the end, I even jumped off the cliff and crossed it.

But even so, there is still no shortage of crazy men and women in those famous mountain dojos, and every morning when the sky is just bright, believers carry incense pillars up the mountain, for the so-called head pillar incense.

Now it seems that it is not that those immortals and Buddhas are not effective, but mainly because the believers are too ignorant.

"Niangniang, isn't there any disadvantage to cultivating the power of incense?" Chen Yi was silent for a while and asked, cultivation is against the sky, isn't it too easy to advance to a high realm so easily?

"Of course, there are drawbacks, the old woman also said before, believers make wishes to produce the power of incense, and at the same time, it also has a cause and effect, if the wishes of believers cannot be realized, then they will be bound by the power of cause and effect, stuck in the realm and cannot break through!"

"This is also the reason why although Buddhism is growing rapidly, it is difficult to produce saints!"

Chen Yi nodded, and continued to listen to Houtu's preaching:

"It's like that kid in Jizo, when he made a great wish, hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, so that he can leap from a vajra Arhat to a bodhisattva-level existence, but this great cause and effect also makes him unable to leave the underworld for half a step!"

"Guanyin has tried his best to break through the holy position over the years, you look at the temples in the world, what is the Guanyin who sends the child, Pudu Guanyin, and Guanyin who saves suffering...... Wait, a lot of incense has been collected, but this cause and effect also needs to be returned little by little!"

"Niangniang, what if you say that you forcibly cut off their incense directly?" Chen Yi asked, he didn't believe it in his heart, and if he couldn't preach it, he would be forced to cut it off directly.

Hou Tu was stunned when he heard this: "Then you have really become the target of everyone, the Immortal Buddha of the Three Realms hates you to the bone, and you can't be defeated without crusading, but the old woman said before, even if you forcibly break the faith of mortals, as long as mortals are still thinking and praying in their hearts, this incense will not be completely broken!"

Chen Yi pursed his lips helplessly, he agreed with this, it is easy to kill people, but it is really not easy to change a person's mind.

But it's impossible for him to slaughter the entire world in order to cut off the power of the immortal Buddha's incense, right?

"However, your words for a certain immortal Buddha are much simpler, as long as you use a little means, although the power of the incense will not disappear, it will definitely work if it is greatly reduced!" Hou Tu Niangniang said softly, the meaning in her eyes made Chen Yi suddenly understand.

"Niangniang, you are so bad!" Chen Yi's figure disappeared into the underworld, leaving a faint sentence.
