Chapter Seventy-Four: The Pure Land

Quang Lim House.

With the pearl of the king of Guanglin County, the date of the county lord's son-in-law, who has different likes and dislikes, is approaching, and the city and its surroundings are completely lively.

However, this kind of excitement is the aristocracy, the family, the Buddhist temple, the monks, and all the "nobles" who stand on the heads of the people.

The people at the bottom have nothing.

On the contrary, it is extremely high to pay for this excitement.

The roads around Guanglin Mansion should be repaired, the city gates and city walls should be cleaned, and the roads in the city should be spotless, and they should be decorated with lights and rejoice.

The nobles don't have to do these things themselves, they just need to give them a command.

Those who do these things have always been mud-legged.

These mud-legged people usually hope for the gifts of nobles, get a few mouthfuls of food, support themselves, and feed their families, so they should dedicate everything to the nobles!

Then the mud-legged men repaired the roads for the nobles, and cleaned the gates, the walls, and the roads in the city...... Do you get paid?

Salary?

If you can enjoy a few meals, it is already a blessing to the nobles.

"Has it always been like this?"

A carriage bearing the sign of the county king's mansion drove past the spotless, brightly lit road, and Jasmine sat in the carriage and whispered to the maid Guo'er, who had run to the top of the mountain.

"It's always been that way, Lord Shire."

The maid Guo'er knew that the county lord she served was full of sympathy and chivalrous heart again, and hurriedly persuaded, "It's always been like this, county lord, there's nothing wrong with this." ”

"How so? Why is there nothing bad? ”

Jasmine stared at the maid Guo'er and asked seriously, "If you do your job, you have to have money to take it, why is it okay to have no money to take it?" ”

The maid Guo'er bit her lip, took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and said: "Money, if you have a life, you have to spend it!" ”

Jasmine was silent.

It's been almost two months since the "snatching" came.

Following the original county lord's style of acting, Jasmine has done a lot of things, traveled to a lot of places, seen a lot of people and things, and has a deeper understanding of this world and the remnants of the Buddhist civilization.

At first, she couldn't quite understand why the Buddhist civilization had been broken to the point of surviving, and it still had to maintain such a high-pressure and dreary rule internally.

It must be known that although the wizard civilization conquered the heavens and conquered one civilized world after another by strong or soft means, it was by no means as cruelly oppressed internally as the Buddhist civilization.

Those civilized worlds that have been conquered by the wizarding civilization have merit, and they will be actively absorbed by the wizarding civilization, and then engaged in large-scale development.

The resource-based world is mainly based on producing resources, exchanging higher-level civilization knowledge from wizarding civilizations;

If the resources are not abundant, but there is biodiversity and occupational diversity, it will produce a servant corps in exchange for the opportunity to develop into a higher civilization.

Although the wizarding civilization is not a clean white lotus, it will never engage in naked exploitation and oppression like the remnants of Buddhism.

Obviously, from the background of civilization on both sides, the wizard should be the cold-blooded and cruel one, and the Buddhists should be the one who is compassionate and merciful!

Integrating the memories of the original county lord, after this period of actual investigation and thinking, coupled with today's touch, Jasmine finally understood.

How to stimulate the people's desire for salvation and transcendence, and how to make the people at the bottom become Buddhas again?

How can we show the Buddha's lofty and compassionate compassion by not engaging in exploitation and oppression, feeding a group of so-called nobles, and letting these nobles face the exploited and oppressed people at the bottom?

The Buddha was compassionate and could not bear to see the filth of the world.

Then you can leave it alone, right?

Thinking of this, Jasmine grinned, her eyes full of sarcasm.

She lifted a curtain and glanced through the gap at the three great suns in the sky, and there was nothing to say.

However, the more Jasmine did this, the more frightened the maid Guo'er became.

She was really afraid that the county lord would run away from home on the eve of recruiting her son-in-law, and let the county king lose face in front of all the nobles.

Fortunately, the carriage drove smoothly into the county king's mansion, and the county lord was still sitting peacefully, and he didn't seem to exclude recruiting sons-in-law.

This made the maid Guo'er feel strange and even more frightened.

Does the county lord want to make a big one?

Under the complicated gaze of the maid Guo'er, Jasmine got out of the carriage abruptly, returned to her mansion, and closed the door to repair.

The White Horse Monastery on the way to the palace of Guanglin County.

Link Ke walked side by side with Monk Chen, and with them went to Guanglin Mansion, as well as representatives from several other courtyards of the White Horse Monastery.

These monks, whether fat, thin, tall or short, have one thing in common, that is, they are young and have no queen.

Yes, no after.

Many of the great monks of the White Horse Monastery have their own heirs.

"Senior brother, are you confident?"

As he walked, Monk Lichen bumped Link on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I heard that the county lord is a great beauty, and he has practiced since he was a child, and his body bones are very tough and soft, hehe......"

Link looked at his nose and his nose and his heart, walked calmly, and asked calmly: "Senior brother has also practiced Joy Zen?" ”

Whether it is the White Horse Monastery or other Buddhist temples, no matter what school of Buddhism is practiced, the vast majority of monks must practice Huanxi Zen.

It's not because monks like to practice Joy Meditation, but it's easier to understand the true meaning of Buddhism by practicing Joy Meditation.

However, the first Yuanzhi monk of the White Horse Monastery is an exception, although he has children, he does not practice Huanxi Zen, and he is also profound in Buddhism.

The original monk was influenced by the master, and he also did not practice Huanxi Zen, so the cultivation realm has always been ranked in the lower middle position of the White Horse Zen Temple.

It wasn't until he was "snatched" by Link this time that he ushered in the highlight moment.

When Monk Lichen heard this, his eyebrows instantly drooped, and he muttered, "I want to cultivate, but the master won't let me." ”

As he spoke, Monk Lichen looked at Link and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, do you know why Master didn't let us also practice Joy Meditation?" The other brothers and sisters in the monastery have all cultivated. ”

Link followed Monk Chen's gaze, looked into his eyes, and made sure that Monk Chen was really asking for advice, not testing something, before asking, "Senior brother, are we practicing Buddha or worshipping Buddha?" ”

"Cultivating Buddhas? Buddha? ”

Monk Lichen repeated these two words, frowning and thinking deeply.

What does it mean to practice Buddhism?

What does worshipping the Buddha refer to?

Is there any difference between the two?

If there is a difference, then what does this difference have to do with whether or not to practice Joy Meditation?

One question after another arose in the heart of Monk Chen.

Link ignored the contemplative monk and walked forward calmly.

Instead, several representatives of the other courtyards not far away let out a few sneers.

"After cultivating a few supernatural powers, do you really think that your Dharma is profound?"

"The abbots all practice Joy Zen, but if you master and apprentice don't practice, what do you want to show?"

"I don't know how thick the sky is."

"Let's go quickly, don't go with such people, lest we defile the Dharma."

The chatter followed the laughter.

Link ignored it, as if he hadn't heard.

Iris also ignored the complaints and complaints of the girls and women, as if she had not heard them.

Things in the world have always been simple to think about, easy to say, but difficult to do.

Before going down the mountain, the women thought about the means of observing words and seducing people that they had practiced in the Qinglou, and they didn't want to pull a few people?

Outcome......

It can't be said that there is no gain, it can only be said that it has hit the copper wall hard.

Not to mention going up the mountain with them, I don't even give them the opportunity to preach their ideas.

Either bypass it from afar, close the gate tightly, report to the official, or report to the surrounding Buddhist temples......

If it weren't for the half-month work in the wilderness, Iris used some means to instill some mana and spell seeds into the girls and women, and they could activate the spell at any time and escape.

I'm afraid that sixteen girls and twenty-three women will break more than half.

Instead of running back in disgrace like now.

Seeing that Iris looked indifferent, the voices of the girls and the women complaining and complaining gradually became low, and then disappeared.

"All said and done?"

Iris stood up, looked at the girl and the women condescendingly, and said indifferently, "You have changed your clothes, taken off your jewelry, put on your makeup, changed into the clothes you worked on a while ago, and then go down the mountain." Remember, do good things first, lower your precautions, and then talk about the pain in the other person's heart, let the other party tell him about the suffering he has suffered for so many years, and then lead the source of the suffering to the Buddhist temple, the monks and the Dharma, understand? ”

The girls listened a little confused.

The women understood it as soon as they heard it.

This is similar to the way they used to ask those benefactors to pay money, all of which were to arouse each other's emotions first.

"Understood."

Thinking of this, the women instantly returned to the appearance of Yingying Yanyan, and agreed in unison.

After a short break, the experienced women pulled the girls down the mountain again.

Along the way, the women instilled their experiences in the girls.

After staying in the Qinglou for a while, even if he didn't pick up customers, he was exposed to the fact that the things between men and women could no longer make the girls feel strange.

After listening to the women's sharing, the sixteen girls had no different colors on their faces, no blushing or anything, and they were seriously thinking about how they should use this method.

There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart.

With a goal, a setback, and a way to work, this time, girls and women are no longer hitting walls everywhere like last time.

Although no one is willing to give up everything and go to Liangshan with them, there are many people who are willing to listen to them preach their ideas.

Within a few days, seven or eight lotus societies were established in various villages.

The purpose of the Lotus Society is extremely simple, that is, to help each other.

First of all, the people who join the Lotus Society donate five buckets of rice to each household as a fee for joining the society;

Secondly, after joining the Lotus Society, no matter what happens, you can seek help from the members;

Finally, after joining the Lotus Society, no matter what happens, you can seek help from the Lotus Society.

Many people have doubts about the first point.

After all, this year, everyone's food is not enough to eat, and taking out five buckets of rice is no different from taking out most of the net worth.

When girls and women encounter such situations, they will patiently explain.

These five buckets of rice, it's not that after they are taken out, they won't be able to return to their homes, and they won't be squandered and wasted by the Lotus Society.

The reason why you need to donate five buckets of rice to join the society is that the lotus society wants to establish a reserve granary to support the bottom.

If a member of the club encounters something at home, such as walking the water, such as being sick, and urgently needs food and money, the Lotus Society can help in time.

The words are not rough.

People eat whole grains, who can guarantee that they will not have a headache and brain fever in their lives?

Five buckets of rice for a guarantee, is it worth it?

Some people think it's worth it, some people don't.

Those who feel worthwhile enter the Lotus Society, and those who feel unworthy either wait and see or look coldly.

Until there was really a member of the Lotus Society, his family was sick and died, and he couldn't farm in time, so he asked for the Lotus Society, and the Lotus Society didn't say a word, so he called on the members who were not busy to come together to help.

Many people's eyes on the Lotus Society are instantly different.

Something, this is really helpful.

The people who had already joined the Lotus Society walked outside, their waists straightened, and they felt that their faces were very bright.

Some of the people who didn't join the Lotus Society couldn't wait to ask to join, some quietly changed their views, and some had other thoughts.

For example, reporting......

Iris stood at the top of Liangshan Mountain, overlooking everything that was happening below.

With the establishment and expansion of the Lotus Society, as more and more people join the Lotus Society, and as the concept of "no parents, vacuum hometown" is promoted and accepted on a larger and larger scale, Iris's strength is expanding dramatically.

With the core of a sixth-level sage, it is a little difficult to control, and it can only be forcibly restrained.

People's emotions are like springs, which will bounce back after being suppressed for a long time.

Once it rebounds, it is easy to lose control.

Iris doesn't want to lose control, she needs a chance to vent.

Therefore, when it was found that someone wanted to report the Lotus Society, Iris did not stop it, but looked forward to the success of the report.

One is that she needs a battle to vent;

Second, without blood and fire, the girls and women cannot be tempered, and the Lotus Society cannot stand firmly;

Third, no longer be hurt once or a few times, and the numbness of the people at the bottom will not be easily knocked out.

"No biological parents, vacuum hometown?"

When the monk of Ciren Temple received a report that an organization promoting evil ideas had emerged in more than 20 nearby villages, the Lotus Society, he did not ignore it, but reported the matter to the abbot in time.

The emergence of the same organization in one township and two townships can also be understood as spontaneous by the people.

If the same organization has emerged in more than 20 townships at the same time, it cannot be taken lightly.

The abbot of Ciren Monastery is a great monk with white eyebrows, and his face changed instantly after hearing the concept of "no parents, vacuum hometown".

He ignored the surprise of the guest monk, and went straight back to the abbot's meditation room, rummaging through a pile of old books.

After half a burnt incense, the abbot finally pulled out a yellowed scripture from under a wooden box.

The handwriting on the cover has been worn, but I can barely make out the words "Five Classics".

The abbot's hand holding the yellowing scripture was a little trembling, his lips pursed, and he muttered: "Buddha! Buddha! Buddha! ”

After a long time, the abbot calmed down his state of mind and prepared to report the appearance of traces of the Buddha in the area under the jurisdiction of Ciren Temple to other temples.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind the abbot.

"What do you want to do?"

The words fell, and without waiting for the abbot to answer, a dark wisp of karmic fire mixed with countless resentments ignited from the abbot's feet.

In an instant, the abbot of Ciren Temple was burned to ashes, and the "Five Sutras" in his hand were gone.

At the top of Liangshan Mountain, Iris is holding a yellowed scroll with a gloomy gaze. (End of chapter)
