Chapter 956: Family Affairs of the Ancient Royal Family
Ye Fan was born on Earth. In his hometown, although Buddhism is still prosperous, it cannot stand out.
However, the earth has already entered the so-called Age of Ending Dharma, and spiritual practice has declined. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, at least on the surface, there are no monks anymore.
But in the depths of the universe where the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is popular and the laws of ten thousand ways flourish, the situation is completely different.
Buddhism is undoubtedly one of the top transcendent forces in Beidou.
If we only look at the size and the number of believers, it would not be an exaggeration to call it Beidou, even the largest religion in the human world.
Although Buddhism is a major sect, it is not completely monolithic within it. There are many ancient temples, Buddhist temples, and temples standing in large numbers, each practicing different scriptures. But in general, across the nine heavens and ten earths, and in all major star fields,
Almost all of them respected Sumeru and chanted Amitabha together.
You must know that Beidou is known as the Emperor Burial Star, and it is the place where almost all the powerful people in the ancient history of human world have unanimously recognized becoming immortals.
From ancient times to the present, countless emperors and great emperors have left their footprints in Beidou, and created many dynasties, aristocratic families, holy places, royal families, etc.
In addition, for millions of years, countless strong men and inheritances have come from the depths of the starry sky, descending on Beidou like one after another. Buddhism is one of them.
As a major sect, Buddhism has a long history and can even be traced back to the distant mythological era. It is indeed ancient.
It is a pity that although Buddhism has always been prosperous, for a long time, no existence of the supreme level has appeared.
It wasn't until Amitabha the Great became enlightened about three hundred thousand years ago and overshadowed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that the power of Buddhism reached another peak.
Legend has it that Emperor Amitabha came to Beidou, visited many extreme lineages, and even visited the forbidden area of life, but finally stopped in the vast and desolate Western Desert.
Emperor Amitabha personally preached and saved all sentient beings, and finally established an immortal inheritance.
And it was at that time that the majestic and majestic Mount Sumeru came from outside the territory.
In Ye Fan's mind, many histories about Beidou Buddhism and Mount Xumi flashed through his mind, and then he took the initiative and said:
"In the five regions of Beidou, there are many Taoisms. Only in the huge Western Desert, only Buddhism has stood for nearly 300,000 years. The power of Mount Xumi can be seen from this."
Ye Fan sighed like this, and at the same time, he was naturally persuading the fighting saint ape on the opposite side.
Although he is the son of the ancient holy emperor, Mount Sumeru is also the inheritance of Emperor Amitabha. Not only is the emperor's soldiers suppressing it, but many ancient Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras, etc. are also stationed there.
If we say that the old holy ape voluntarily converted to Buddhism and practiced Buddhism, then everything would be easy to say.
The Holy Prince's visit this time was nothing more than to visit his uncle who was a monk.
But if it is true, as he speculated, that the old holy ape was forcibly converted by Buddhism, then when the holy prince goes this time, it will be a sheep in the tiger's mouth, which will bring disaster.
Just as Ye Fan's thoughts were ups and downs, the evil ghost in his mind naturally sensed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but said angrily:
"Hmph! This old bald donkey talks so much about compassion, but he may have a black heart inside. Even if he really does this and forcibly enslaves people, I wouldn't be surprised at all!"
Obviously, the evil ghost's words are all personal grudges and there is no objectivity at all.
He was suppressed and confused by the Buddhist quasi-emperor Sakyamuni for more than two thousand years. His heart was full of resentment and he couldn't stand all Buddhists.
Ye Fan naturally had heard of this and would not believe it gullibly.
Although Buddhism has always had the practice of suppressing the strong and recruiting them as protectors, and the major forces in Beidou are quite afraid of Mount Sumeru, when it comes to Amitabha, no one disrespects and praises him.
It is said that Emperor Amitabha never killed any living being during his entire life.
This is truly unimaginable for a Supreme Being who has attained enlightenment and become an emperor.
Ye Fan wants to believe that he should be a truly compassionate person.
Of course, the fact that Emperor Amitabha is like this does not mean that his successors will not "degenerate".
After hearing what Ye Fan said, the Holy Prince shook his head, with a rather emotional look on his face:
"My uncle is a great hero. It is really unimaginable that a person like him would choose to escape into Buddhism."
After a pause, the man pondered for a moment, and then continued:
"Besides, when I woke up, my father's imperial soldiers were gone. I think it was my uncle who took them away. Therefore, I must go to Mount Sumeru!"
As the Holy Prince's words fell, Ye Fan naturally had many thoughts in his heart.
But before Ye Fan could speak, the evil ghost in his mind spoke again.
Compared to just now, the evil spirit's tone this time seemed much calmer:
"One thing I have to say is that if you simply transform a fighting holy ape into a holy realm, relying on the secrets of Buddhism and the miraculous power of Mount Sumeru and Amitabha's emperor's soldiers, it is not too difficult to think about."
"But if it is true as what this little monkey said, he is not only the Holy Emperor's biological brother, but also in charge of his brother's imperial soldiers. At the critical moment, he will be able to completely revive the emperor's soldiers easily."
"At that time, as long as it is not a powerful person of the supreme level, it will be difficult to force him to stay."
Although the evil ghost has a great prejudice and hostility towards all the powerful Buddhists, he also managed to discuss the matter matter-of-factly on this issue and analyzed it truthfully to Ye Fan.
From this point of view, according to the speculation of the evil ghost, the possibility of the fighting Buddha taking the initiative to join Sumeru has greatly increased.
Realizing this, Ye Fan's mind was full of thoughts, and he fell into deep thinking for a while.
On the other side, the Holy Prince saw that Ye Fan still had a solemn expression on his face, and thought that the other party was still trying to persuade him to give up the idea of going to Mount Sumeru for the time being.
A smile appeared on the corner of the Holy Prince's mouth, he thought for a moment, and then took the initiative to speak:
"Ye Fan, you really don't need to worry about me. This time I go to the Western Desert, I'm not alone."
Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately raised his head and looked at the Holy Prince opposite with curiosity.
Fortunately, the person was not prepared to show off. He just smiled and whispered mysteriously:
"To be honest, in the past, when my father was still alive, he made a marriage arrangement for my uncle, and the other party was the princess of Shencanling."
"If it hadn't been for the great changes in the world at the end of the ancient times, when everyone was in danger and all tribes were busy self-proclaimed, I think the two of them should have been married long ago."
Having said this, the Holy Prince couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence on his face, obviously regretting this.
"Now, Shencanling has been born again, and my aunt who has not passed away has also awakened."
"This time, when I go to Xumi, Princess Shencan once said that if I can't even see my uncle, she will come with the imperial army to ask for an explanation."
