"It's not an illusion, it's just illusion. Just like me, the people you see are real, but what you see is not their true appearance."
Ye Dong was really helpless at the Buddhist cultivator's way of talking about Zen words. He smiled bitterly and said: "Master, this kid is stupid. Can you explain clearly what is going on?"
The old monk was silent, seeming to be thinking about how to explain it to Ye Dong. After a moment, he spoke again: "To put it simply, in fact, the entire Buddhist land in the Western Regions is not what outsiders see. These are
The illusion is artificially arranged, a bit similar to the divine realm, one of the six great powers of Buddhism. What the real world is like, I am afraid that only by cultivating the Dharma eye can you see anything in the Buddha land, even
It’s soul communication, and it will be known to some people.”
Everything in the Buddhist land of the entire Western Region is an artificial illusion!
This sentence really frightened Ye Dong. You must know that the existence of the Buddhist Land in the Western Regions has been too long to be calculated, but it turned out to be all illusions and artificial arrangements. So how strong is the person who arranged it?
profound?
To put it bluntly, this Buddhist magical power called Divine Realm Power is like opening up an independent world.
In this world, the pioneer is the master, and can make everything set according to his ideas. Naturally, he can know everything that happens in the world, even spiritual communication.
However, Ye Dong understood some problems, that is, why the old monk wanted to apologize to himself, because he was also from the Buddha Land, so naturally his words and deeds could not be hidden from the person who created the Buddha Land. He could only hide it from himself.
Obstruction.
But, why did the old monk hide it from that person?
"Who is this person? What is his purpose in doing this?"
Ye Dong asked the most critical question.
The old monk was silent for a while and then said: "I don't know who this person is. I don't even know whether they are one person or a group of people. As for their purpose of doing this... Donor Ye, do you know?
Know what the power of faith is."
What a coincidence, Rune Ye Dong had just explained the power of faith, and now the old monk asked about it.
"Know!"
"The power of faith is his or their purpose! They imitated the Paradise of Paradise and arranged the Buddhist land in the Western Region, so that all the Buddhist cultivators who entered it would respect them more and more, and be more willing to stay, maintain their faith, and maintain their
Respect for certain people or things in your heart, and these beliefs and respect will be transformed into endless power of faith..."
The old monk's words suddenly stopped here, but Ye Dong didn't need him to continue, because he already knew.
However, even though he is the descendant of the Demon Emperor and the Lord of the Blood Prison, and has experienced countless horrifying things, everything put together is not as good as the few words he heard now.
He was so shocked that there was even a surge of fear in his heart!
Fu Wen Ye Dong said very clearly that the names of Buddhas pronounced by Buddhist practitioners are different, but each Buddha name represents a Buddha. Chanting sutras and worshiping Buddhas all express the respect and belief of Buddhist practitioners for these Buddhas. These are
The power of faith will flow into the bodies of those Buddhas and increase their power.
This power can also be understood as life!
At that time, Ye Dong heard this and did not have time to ask further, but now he thought of a question, that is, are those Buddhas still alive?
If they have died, to whom will the power of faith be given?
If they are not dead, then the power of these beliefs will be transformed into life force and flow into their bodies. Can it be understood that they can obtain eternal life through the power of these beliefs?
This is the reason for Ye Dong's fear, and the reason why the old monk can't continue talking!
It turns out that the people who are chanted by these Buddhist practitioners all the time and worshiped on their knees every day are probably the ones who have captured their faith and survived by their piety.
To put it more bluntly, there is a group of people who, in order to obtain eternal life for themselves, have arranged the "Pure Land" of the Buddhist Land in the Western Regions, allowing the Buddhist cultivators in it to indulge in it and willingly help them extend their lives. It is a pity.
Not only do these Buddhist practitioners not realize it, but they become more and more pious.
"Will the power of faith cause any harm to the person who devotes his faith?"
Just through Ye Dong's question, the old monk knew that Ye Dong understood the meaning of his words, and sighed: "The power of faith also comes from the soul!"
Although there is no direct answer, this sentence has shown that dedicating the power of faith will also hurt one's own soul.
Seize other people's lives to extend your own!
Could it be that this is the truth about the Buddhist lands and Buddhist cultivators in the Western Regions?
This is what frightens Ye Dong. If this is the truth, then all Buddhists practice hard throughout their lives and go through many difficulties and dangers, in fact, just to make their souls become "food" for others, so that others can extend their lives.
Seemingly seeing what Ye Dong was thinking, the old monk hurriedly said: "Donor Ye, Buddhist practitioners do not lie, but they do not lie either. Although I am certain that such people do exist, but maybe they are not the ones you think of."
As imagined, they are not real Buddhas, but they have just brainwashed Buddhist practitioners in some way, making them think that they are Buddhas!"
As if to convince himself, the old monk solemnly reiterated: "Almsgiver Ye, I firmly believe that they are not real Buddhas, but demons, just wearing the coat of Buddha!"
Everyone has their own persistence and pursuits. The old monk's words represent what he thinks in his heart. No one knows whether they are the truth or not.
However, Ye Dong was willing to believe the old monk's idea. After all, his senior brother Ren Wang also said that there would be powerful people in the Buddhist land who could brainwash Buddhist practitioners, which coincided with the old monk's idea.
At the same time, Ye Dong also had his own ideas, because following the question of the Buddhist lands and Buddhist cultivators in the Western Regions, he also thought of a question that had also puzzled him for a long time, which was the truth about the existence of the Nine Heavens!
Everyone in the Blood Prison is unwilling to surrender to the Nine Heavens. According to the words of the Demon Emperor Brahma and the Blood Prison, if you want to enter the Nine Heavens, you must contribute your soul.
Ye Dong still couldn't figure out what kind of dedication method this kind of soul consecration was. He had been walking in the sky of fire for so long, and he didn't see anyone who had lost their soul. On the contrary, everyone was alive and well.
So, does it mean that the true ruler of the Nine Heavens also uses this power of faith to weaken the souls of the heavenly beings little by little, thereby achieving his goal of eternal life?
Ye Dong raised his doubts, but unfortunately the old monk could not answer because he had never left the Buddhist land in the Western Regions. This was why he was willing to take the initiative to enter the Soul-Calming Bell. Naturally, it was a helpless move.
With the strength of the old monk, he still cannot escape from the Buddhist land of the Western Regions. So instead of devoting his soul to those demons in vain, it is better to enter the soul-suppressing bell, at least in exchange for peace of mind. Therefore, for others, entering the soul-suppressing bell
The bell may be a pain, but for the old monk, it is a relief!
