Chapter 35: A New Way of Mission

Under Li Xian's arrangement, the carpenters carried the Buddha statue into the main hall.

Then, with the acquiescence of Master Huixin, the old Bodhisattva statue was replaced with a moldy Buddha statue full of new ideas.

After everything was done, Li Xian settled the rest of the money to the carpenters, and told them that he would build a Buddha statue in the future, but according to this standard, the shape would be much smaller.

After seeing off the carpenter who had given up one after another, Li Xian re-entered the main hall and saw the children excitedly whispering to the new Buddha statue.

Before Li Xian could confess his unauthorized actions to Master Huixin, the little girl walked up to her and spoke to Li Xian for the first time, "Master, why did you replace that Buddha statue?"

Calling herself a master, not an uncle or a brother or something, isn't she a monk?

Looking at the black hair exposed under the shabby felt hats of the children in the courtyard, Li Xiancai came to his senses. It turned out that they were all lay disciples, and Master Huixin did not shave them down.

After the little girl asked, she looked at Li Xian with a pair of big eyes, and there was an indescribable expectation of the unknown in her eyes.

"Amitabha, because the Bodhisattva is old, it is not easy to attract pilgrims to incense, so replace it.

Moreover, this Buddha statue has been opened, and offering incense every day can improve the probability of human awakening, which is very precious. ”

Hearing that it could increase the chance of awakening, the little girl's dark pupils lit up all of a sudden.

"If you can increase the chance of awakening, then Tongtong will be able to awaken into a supernatural person, and she will have the ability to support Shitai and her younger brothers and sisters.

As she spoke, the little girl named Tongtong jumped up and down and pulled over a short, thin boy who looked like seven or eight years old, and laughed loudly: "Xiaobao, you are one day younger than me, and we will be ten years old in half a month."

For half a month, we will worship the Buddha every day, and then we will go to participate in the awakening test at the beginning of next month, and then we will become supernatural beings together to feed everyone. ”

When Xiaobao heard Tongtong's words, her expression, which was still a little resistant, became as excited as hers.

Then he took a basin and a cloth, and waited until he wiped everything around the Buddha statue and quietly did not stop.

Tongtong's words also gave Li Xian some enlightenment.

Yes, why do you have to preach so hard?

If the moldy god Buddha statue is really effective for the awakening ability, Tongtong and others will become a movable type signboard of Buddhism when they awaken, and they are not afraid that someone will not believe in Buddhism when the time comes.

After silently communicating with the Celestial Moldy God in his heart, he learned that he was not aware of the awakening ability, but he did not rule out the possibility that bad luck could stimulate the awakening chance.

Li Xian's mind was half down, and he really let the god of mildew open a light to the Buddha statue, so that it could attract believers and have the effect of spreading bad luck.

The people of the Shenzhou Continent mainly have two opportunities to awaken in their lives, one at the age of ten and the other at the age of twenty, both of which are held in the Daoist halls of various places.

A warrior or paranormal who awakens at the age of ten is much more likely to be highly gifted than a person at the age of twenty.

Li Xian's body has just reached the age of 20 in May this year, and he still has the opportunity to realize his dream of being a martial artist.

Just as Li Xian was thinking about whether to go, Master Huixin came to his side at some point and said in a low voice: "Amitabha, Buddhism is the state religion of the daughter's country, is it run by the younger brother of Rulai?"

After all, the daughter country was established by the demon clan, and Li Xian was just about to open his mouth to explain the original tail, but Master Huixin smiled and said nonchalantly: "This world believes in Taoism, and what is respected is to seek immortality."

My Buddhism is different from them, focusing on the equality of all sentient beings and the universality of all sentient beings. In that case, what is the difference between the demon race, the human race, or the demon race?"

Sure enough, he is a high monk, and he is so open-minded that he can already fit into everything in the world.

Seeing that Li Xian was silent, Mrs. Huixin asked again, "How does the junior brother plan to preach?"

"Amitabha, a poor monk with no talent, can only preach in the way of 'believers in Buddhism can awaken their powers'. Li Xian recited the Buddha's name, and said with a little shame.

"Can a believer in Buddhism awaken his powers? Except by putting the facts in front of them, the people will not believe it, because Taoism has been preaching under this guise for thousands of years.

The poor nuns have been preaching in this Dongcheng pauper's church for 30 years, and they have some humble opinions, I wonder if the junior can listen to them?"

Preaching in this daughter city, Li Xianzheng felt that he had no way to enter. Now someone is willing to be a guide, of course, nodding and agreeing.

"There aren't many things that can interest people other than their vital interests.

After all, our Buddhism is not as well-known as Taoism. Sometimes, even if we report our name, others don't know what Buddhism is, and they don't understand what its teachings are.

Therefore, the first step in proselytizing is to spread the reputation of Buddhism and prove that Buddhism is no worse than Taoism. ”

Li Xian was deeply touched by these words.

Along the way, he didn't know how many times he had reported his name of 'Master Rulai', but in addition to knowing that he was a monk who believed in Buddhism, others didn't even know the name of this famous Buddha.

"That's... According to my sister's words, how can we spread Buddhism and make the people interested?"

Master Huixin smiled and said confidently: "It is not difficult to spread the teachings of Buddha statues, but the difficult thing is to make the people really care."

Even if we chant and preach every day in front of other people's doors, in the latent consciousness of the people, Taoism will always be the strongest, and it is impossible to believe in other sects unless we encounter other special things.

Therefore, in order to make the people interested and truly understand Buddhism, then we can spread it from entertainment that is close to the people's livelihood, such as dramas, scripts or mythological stories about Buddhism, which can be of interest to the people who are bored in life. ”

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy. Master Huixin has lived so long since he studied the people at the bottom thoroughly.

Her three or two sentences suddenly made Li Xianmao pause, and even patted his bald head in annoyance, why didn't he think of it?

Like the mythological stories of Buddhism in later generations, the most widely spread is "Journey to the West", followed by "The Legend of the White Lady", "Baolian Lantern" and other stories about Buddhism.

These stories may not be very profound Buddhist teachings, but they are easy to understand and the people like them.

Li Xian had a new direction for spreading Buddhism, and he bowed excitedly to Master Huixin, and after leaving fifty taels of gold, he took the second battalion commander and Zhu Badou who were waiting outside the hall, and hurriedly walked to the inn in the city.

One month! It's finally done!!

For thirty days, Li Xian was doing what the copyist should do, but he forgot about the missionary business.

Listening to the sound of the door closing, I don't know how many times An Muqian has called people to urge her to preach.

It seems that she is not as concerned as she does not care about the appearance, but she is still very concerned about her missionary affairs.

Li Xian didn't understand An Muqian's twists and turns, but one thing to congratulate was that relying on the physical books he had read in his previous life and the memory of TV series, Li Xian generally copied books by hand, and finally finished the novel of "Journey to the West" with a total of 100 rounds and more than 600,000 words today.
