Chapter 183: A Money Cow
In a valley in the west of New Delhi near the Arabian Sea, at this moment, Lotte is standing outside the valley, probing the valley with his divine sense with a puzzled face.
After inviting Pearl to dinner in New Delhi and checking out of the Persian Hotel, Lotte placed Zhao Bin in the Mixed Yuan Ring again. Then he set out westward, as he had envisioned, to take a dip in the Arabian Sea.
When Lotte arrived in this valley, he suddenly noticed that there was a very strong fluctuation of Yuan Force in the valley!
This fluctuation of Yuan Force is the strongest that Lotte has encountered since he cultivated, and it is the fluctuation brought about by the Mu Yuan Force that Lotte is looking for!
Lotte was overjoyed and immediately stopped and searched the valley. Soon, Lotte found some very strange people in the valley, which made Lotte temporarily put aside the search for the source of Mu Yuanli's fluctuations and instead focused his attention on these people!
Lotte observed for a while, and finally determined that they should be a group of smugglers, and this valley might be a secret warehouse they used to hide their goods, right?
The proximity to the Arabian Sea means that many smugglers hide in such valleys and wait until night to quietly move their goods out of the valley.
Since Lotte knows the identities of these people, it naturally won't meddle in the good things of bad people.
Lotte continued to search for the source of the Yuan Force fluctuations, but unexpectedly found that the source of the Yuan Force fluctuations was actually in the cave used by smugglers to hide the goods!
Lotte was very curious in his heart, could it be that this thing containing rich wood yuan power turned out to be the goods of these smugglers?
Lotte has already made up his mind in his heart, if this is really the case, he is going to play the role of an anti-smuggling police today, and Lotte will definitely have to confiscate all the goods of these guys!
However, Lotte's divine sense entered the cave and found that the Yuan Force fluctuation did not come from the smuggler's warehouse, but behind a wall in the deepest part of the cave!
It was supposed to be a hole within a hole, and the smugglers didn't even know that there was a cave behind the place where they used to store their goods.
Lotte had no intention of alarming the smugglers. Directly through the wall, and then he saw a huge cave, the cave was empty, but in the center of the cave stood a golden tree, Lotte saw it, and immediately shouted: "Oh my God, it's a cash cow!" ”
This is really a cash cow, and the branches of the big tree are covered with glittering gold coins, which can literally dazzle people's eyes!
Lotte thinks he's hallucinating? How could you see such an exaggerated thing as a cash cow in this cave?
Lotte's surprise outweighed the surprise, and in fact he had nothing to rejoice about. Money is no longer too attractive to Lotte, he is just curious that there really is a cash cow in the world!
Lotte's body also entered the cave, and he wanted to see this magical cash cow up close. There is a hole above the cash cow that leads to the top of the mountain, and there is light on it, so that Lotte can see the cash tree in front of him clearly!
When Lotte was curious, he suddenly felt that he had come to a space that he had never seen before!
Lotte was shocked, he was sure that this was definitely not the space of his Mixed Yuan Ring, so where was he?
Just when Lotte was a little panicked in his heart. An old man suddenly came out of the shadows and said to Lotte, "Young man, welcome to my house. ”
The old man spoke Chinese, and Lotte asked in surprise, "Who are you?" What can I speak Chinese? ”
The old man also seemed surprised and asked, "Young man." If you can come to me, you won't be mortal, right? At the very least, it's also a half-immortal body, didn't your master tell you that Chinese is the official language of the fairy world? ”
Lotte shook his head suspiciously and said, "I really don't know how to do this." Old man, when you just talked about the fairy world, are you an immortal? ”
The old man smiled: "How can I be considered an immortal?" I'm a tree god at best. ”
Lotte was shocked when he heard this. He lost his voice and said, "Tree God? Are you the god of the tree? The tree god who rules over the life and death of all the trees in the world? Is it the tree god that Pearl worships? ”
But the old man replied, "I don't know who the pearl you are talking about, and I am not the tree god who is in charge of the life and death of any tree as you said, I am just a god who lives in a tree, not a gardener who specializes in trees!" ”
Lotte was confused when he heard this, and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you mean to say that you are the god in this cash cow, not the god in charge of the trees in the world?" ”
The old man nodded and said, "Correct answer!" I can only take care of this tree, and nothing else is my control. ”
Lotte suddenly became excited in his heart, I wonder if this cash cow is considered a sacred tree? If he could subdue this cash cow, wouldn't it be very easy to cultivate Mu Yuan Dan?
The old man said to Lotte again: "Young man, how did you find me here?" ”
Lotte said truthfully: "Senior Tree God, I have cultivated a technique that can sense the existence of this tree in the distance, so I came to find it. ”
The old man replied, "Well, do you have any ideas for finding me?" ”
Lotte replied directly: "Senior, I want to absorb Yuan Li from this cash cow to cultivate, I hope you can achieve it." ”
When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Young man, you are very open-minded! Very good, for the sake of you not hiding it in the slightest, I will tell you the truth, if you want to absorb the essence from my body and use it for cultivation, it is not impossible, but you must promise me one condition! ”
Lotte asked excitedly, "What conditions?" Seniors, you just say! ”
The old man shook his head, found a place to sit down, and beckoned to Lotte, "Young man, come and sit first, and I'll tell you a story." ”
Lotte was not in a hurry when he heard this, and came to find a place to sit next to the old man. The old man said, "Young man, you must not know who I am, right? Let me tell you the truth, I was originally a boy under the seat of the master of the Tongtian Sect, and my name was Qingfeng. ”
Lotte listened to the old man's words, and his heart was stunned, and he said in his heart, Who is the leader of the Tongtian Sect?
Old man Qingfeng didn't care what Lotte was thinking, he continued: "When I was cultivating under the Master's seat, one day the Master suddenly called me to my side, saying that he had received the decree of the ancestor and needed to go to Tianzhu to transform a person named Shakyamuni, so that he could become the heir of the Buddha's latest enlightenment. ”
When Lotte heard this, he immediately jumped up in shock and asked, "What?" You're not lying to me, are you? You even told me that the Buddha was your master? Then, aren't you the Buddha's disciple? ”
Old Man Qingfeng reacted strangely to Lotte and replied, "Why are you so surprised? My master is my grandfather's favorite disciple, what's so strange about going to a Tianzhu person? By the way, what Buddha did you just say, is that Shakyamuni now called the Buddha? What's going on? Didn't he tell everyone that my ancestor had enlightened the Buddhist scriptures and passed them on to him? My grandfather should be a Buddha? ”
Lotte shook his head and said: "I don't even know who the ancestor you said is, anyway, now everyone knows that Shakyamuni is the Buddha!" ”
Qingfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and was stunned for a long time before continuing: "Originally, this matter should have been personally gone by Shizun, but at that time, Nanhua Tianjun suddenly came to visit Shizun and wanted to talk about the scriptures and discuss the Tao with Shizun.
The master couldn't shirk it at that time, so I took the initiative to ask Ying, willing to go to Tianzhu instead of the master, to cross the Shakyamuni.
After thinking about it for a while, the master agreed to my request, but the master specially told me to make the Buddhist teachings of the ancestor and the Shakyamuni clear, and if I did not explain the Buddhist teachings clearly, I would not be allowed to return to the master for a day! ”
I came to Tianzhu alone, and soon found the Shakyamuni, but then I realized that I could only speak Chinese, and I could not explain the Buddhist teachings of the ancestor to him!
So I had to learn their native language in Tianzhu, and when I finally learned the Tianzhu language almost completely, I was in a hurry to go to Shakyamuni again to preach.
As a result, I found Shakyamuni sleeping on a tree under a Bodhi tree, and I incarnated as a tree god and pretended to dream for him, and taught him all the Buddhist and Taoist teachings of my ancestors!
Later, this Shakyamuni founded Buddhism in Tianzhu, and I gladly returned to the master to resume my life, and the master also encouraged me at that time, saying that I did a good job!
But suddenly one day the patriarch came to the door angrily, saying that my master had misinterpreted his Buddhist teachings, and now the Buddhist tenets that Shakyamuni preached in the world are different from many places that his old man originally envisioned!
Master Zu complained that my master was ineffective, and he was going to send down a decree to punish my master, so I naturally had to stand up and explain. When Master Zu heard what I said, he became even more angry, saying that my master had handed over such a big matter to a boy!
The most embarrassing ancestor directly knocked me to the mortal dust, and I fell to the top of this mountain, smashed the mountain out of a hole, and even fell into the cave with a tree on it!
As a result, I could only live in this tree from now on, unable to get out, and every day in addition to cultivation, I was pondering and playing chess by myself. Over the years, I've grown old, and I'm dying. I have always been very unwilling in my heart, I don't understand where Shakyamuni misinterpreted the teachings of the ancestors?
I've always wanted to ask someone, but I haven't met anyone in all these years, so I came up with a solution.
I turned this tree into a cash cow, hoping that the golden light would come out of the hole above and attract people's attention, so that I could know how the purpose of Buddhism is different from what I preached to Shakyamuni back then. (To be continued......)
