Chapter 441: The Drunken Beggar Climbs the Ancient Buddha
Kneeling before the Buddha for three thousand years, one can achieve Buddhahood without any intention through Buddhist teachings!
The Ancient Buddhist Sect is located on the Xuechan Mountain in the central part of Yingzhou. The peak of Xuechan Mountain is towering into the clouds, with snow that never melts all year round. From a distance, it looks like a green peak that is always white, so it is also called Baitou Peak. However, more people call it Xuechan Mountain because this mountain has Zen sounds!
The sound of the Snow Chan Mountain can be heard in only one place! It is on the square outside the ancient Buddhist sect's mountain gate. There is a stone statue kneeling on the ground, kowtowing, and the direction of the kowtowing is the top of the Snow Chan Mountain!
The place where you can hear Zen sounds in Xuechan Mountain is the circular area within three meters of this stone statue!
But strangely, this stone statue does not belong to the Ancient Buddha Sect.
This stone statue existed here before the ancient Buddhist sect was established. It is said that the stone statue has a history of three thousand years, but no one knows other specific things. Of course, the Zen sound is also three thousand years old. As for where the Zen sound came from, people rumored that it came from the top of Snow Zen Mountain, but there is no way to verify it because no one has ever been to the top of Snow Zen Mountain!
That belongs to the Ancient Buddha Sect. As for whether anyone from the Ancient Buddha Sect has ever reached the top, the world has no idea.
Oh, by the way, the kneeling stone statue is a monk, and the reason why the ancient Buddhist sect was established here is very strange!
It is said that the founder of the Ancient Buddha Sect was a Buddhist disciple. Because of his unstable mind, his Buddhist powers backfired, which means he became possessed by the devil. He harmed the world for a hundred years, and he could not find a cure after traveling all over the world! He came to Xuechan Mountain by accident, and like this kneeling stone statue, he knelt for three years before the murderous aura in his heart was eliminated. He also became a Buddha on the spot, and from then on he had the heart of a Buddha!
The reason why the Ancient Buddhist Sect only practices Buddhism and not the mind is because the Zen sound of Xuechan Mountain is the Buddha's heart of the Ancient Buddhist Sect. However, the Ancient Buddhist Sect has a strange inheritance, that is, there is a stone statue that can hear the Zen sound. Everyone in the world can come here to listen to the Zen sound. This is the ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation in the Ancient Buddhist Sect, and it is said to be the last words of the founder of the sect!
This move is only to tell the world that everyone can enter my Buddha, and everyone can become my Buddha. Because of this, there has been a saying circulating in the cultivation world:
"Everyone in the world can become an ancient Buddha!"
Good or evil, even traitors from a sect or family are welcome, but there is one condition, and that is to stay in the Zen sound of Xuechan Mountain for one year.
For thousands of years, although the Ancient Buddha Sect has no Buddha heart, it is still a holy place of Buddhism, because those who have listened to the Zen sound here for a year have developed Buddha heart and entered the ancient Buddha! The reason why the Ancient Buddha Sect is so powerful is also due to these people.
They all brought art into the ancient Buddha, and where the art is, the Buddha’s heart is also there!
On that day, a drunk beggar came to Xuechan Mountain and staggered up the mountain. He was going to the Ancient Buddha Sect.
The ragged beggar came to the kneeling monk and really heard the Zen sound of Xuechan Mountain. Within three meters of the stone statue, there were two monks sitting quietly listening to the Zen sound. They were the people of the Ancient Buddha Sect. The disciples of the Ancient Buddha Sect can come here at any time to listen to Zen and understand Buddhism!
"The ancient Buddha wanted to know everything in the world, but his Zen sound was only heard by one person. This is a joke!"
The beggar walked towards the gate of the Ancient Buddha Sect while drinking. He was the old beggar who was Murong Ruoxi's master. He left the Sleeping Dao Temple and headed towards the Ancient Buddha Sect.
Of course, the old beggar was also drunk all the way. He was also trying to accumulate the skill of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. However, the old beggar did not buy the wine, he stole it, or robbed it. Alas, he had no money since he left Murong Ruoxi!
But the old beggar didn't know that someone had paid for the wine he robbed and stole.
There are no morning bells or evening drums in the Ancient Buddhist Sect. There are thousands of Alsophila trees, thousands of training grounds, and tens of thousands of stone steps!
In the early winter morning light, three or four monks were sweeping fallen leaves in front of the mountain gate!
The old beggar looked at the endless stone steps with drunken eyes. He took a sip of wine and muttered to himself:
"The Ancient Buddha Sect really has a Ten Thousand Steps Road to Buddhahood! The rumors are true! Today I will try out these Thousand Shura Domains!"
Those thousand training grounds are called Shura Domain, which is where the disciples of the Ancient Buddha Sect practice.
The old beggar raised his head and took a sip, then shouted to the Ancient Buddha Sect:
"Tianji asked the Ancient Buddha Sect, why did you break the agreement?"
The sound is loud and clear, reaching the top of Xuechan Mountain!
After saying that, he walked into the Ten Thousand Steps to Buddha Road, and many people from the Thousand Shura Regions also walked out and looked at the drunk, ragged beggar who walked up from the mountain gate!
The old beggar came to smash the mountain gate today! He was not polite at all. He drank two pots of wine and sprayed out two water dragons, which turned into a knife and a sword in his hand. The shapes of the knife and sword were exactly the same as the Starfall Sword and the Sunset Knife!
The old beggar climbed up the thousand-layer stone steps in one breath. Behind him were also trees leaves all over the ground, and ancient Buddhist monks who were leaning left and right. No one was dead, but they could not stand up!
"Tianji asked the Ancient Buddha Sect, why did you break the agreement?"
The old beggar shouted again, but still no one answered. The old beggar sneered and climbed up the thousand stone steps again with his sword and knife.
There are still falling leaves behind me, and I am still covered with scars!
"Tianji asked the Ancient Buddha Sect, why did you break the agreement?"
Still no one from the Ancient Buddha Sect answered!
The old beggar was speechless. The Ancient Buddha Sect was really fearless! He climbed up the thousand-layer stone steps again, but it was obviously a little slower and he felt a little bit of resistance!
In Xuechan Mountain, an old beggar climbed seven thousand stone steps in one breath. He was a little tired and out of breath. He took out three pots of wine and muttered to himself:
"Hey, the Ancient Buddha Sect really has some amazing disciples!"
The old beggar was no longer drunk. He saw several old monks appearing at the end of the ancient Buddhist sect’s ten thousand-layer stone steps. The person the old beggar was waiting for had arrived!
"Tianji asked the Ancient Buddha Sect, why did you break the agreement?"
The people from the Ancient Buddha Sect also saw the old beggar, and the leader spoke up:
"Senior, the Ancient Buddha Sect has no grudges against you in the recent past, and no hatred in the past. Why did you break into my Ancient Buddha Sect?"
The old beggar flew up and came directly to the top of the Ten Thousand Steps Road to Buddha, which was a circular square, and he landed right in the middle.
Everyone in the Ancient Buddha Sect turned and looked at him!
"Shan Wu, it's been about a hundred years since we last met, right?"
The old beggar knew the leader, who was also the leader of the Ancient Buddha Sect, Shanwu!
"Senior, you are a wine immortal who cultivates Taoism. You should be free and easy in the world. Why do you use martial arts to ascend to the ancient Buddha?"
Shan Wu was very puzzled, because the Ancient Buddhist Sect and the Saint Jiu Xiaoyao had never had any previous relationship or old grudges.
"The Ancient Buddha wants to ask about the affairs of the world. The Ancient Buddha Sect is quite arrogant! Today I am here only for the Tianji Pavilion!"
Shan Wu was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the saint Jiu Xiaoyao was actually related to the Tianji Pavilion. But what does this have to do with the Ancient Buddha Sect?
"I don't know what you mean, senior?"
Shan Wu's words confused the old beggar, but he believed in the information from Tianji Pavilion, and it was impossible for Yingnu to make a mistake without any reason!
"The Ancient Buddha Sect had signed an agreement with the Tianji Pavilion not to interfere with each other. Why did the Ancient Buddha Sect threaten the Tianji Pavilion not long ago?"
Shan Wu frowned and turned to look at the others. They all shook their heads. Shan Wu was about to speak, but at this time three people flew out of Xuechan Mountain. They were three old monks, and one of them said:
"I didn't expect you to be from Tianji Pavilion. We've been friends for a hundred years, but I didn't even know about it!"
The old beggar turned around and looked at the three people who had landed on the edge of the other side of the square. He was really shocked in his heart, because they were all his old friends. No, not old friends, he could only say that they were acquaintances, not friends!
Shan Wu then shouted:
"Master, you, you are still alive?"
After Shanwu finished speaking, he bowed but did not go forward because the old beggar was still there.
The old beggar took a sip of wine, frowned, and asked:
"When did the two of them join the Ancient Buddha Sect? The Zen sound of Xuechan Mountain is truly amazing!
"Fellow Daoist, the ancient Buddha wants to ask about worldly affairs, which has nothing to do with you. With your personality, it should have nothing to do with the Tianji Pavilion. Why do you have to wade into this muddy water and stand up for others?"
The old beggar said in a deep voice:
"You three were the ones who went to the Tianji Pavilion that day. It seems that the situation in Yingzhou is about to change. But what does this have to do with the Tianji Pavilion? The Tianji Pavilion is related to all the sects and families in Yingzhou!"
"Nothing to do with you!"
Master Shanwu’s answer was very cold and straightforward!
"The ancient Buddha wants to know everything in the world. It seems that this world is not Yingzhou. But can you rely on the ancient Buddha sect? Do you dare to point your sword at the world? Aren't you afraid that people in the world will laugh at you?"
After the old beggar finished speaking, he laughed first.
"Fellow Daoist, you should be free and happy. The Ancient Buddha Sect has its own ambitions. The two are unrelated. Why do you insist on entering the mortal world?"
"You said I entered the mortal world? Shouldn't the Ancient Buddha Sect stay away from the mortal world? Oh, I forgot, the ancient Buddha has no Buddha heart!"
The old beggar took two more sips of wine. He couldn’t see through the other two people. Was it really as rumored that the Zen sounds of Xuechan Mountain could make people settle their Buddha hearts and become ancient Buddhas?
"Fellow Daoist, are you determined to stand up for Tianji Pavilion?"
Shanwu’s master’s tone was very cold!
The old beggar laughed and responded:
"I came here today to ask for the secrets of heaven, but I changed my mind. I want to try it on behalf of the people of the world. What ability does the ancient Buddha have to ask about the affairs of the world?"
In the ancient Buddhist sect of Xuechan Mountain, the saint has all living beings in his heart!
