At the beginning of the game, you will live forever, and you will grow old forever

The front of the temple halfway up the mountain is clean and tidy, but the apricot-yellow courtyard wall and the blue-gray temple ridge look quite old at first glance.

The abbot, with white eyebrows and long beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, stood quietly in front of the temple with his palms folded, with a noble and pure spirit.

he looked at

In the distance, the focal point is the three figures coming from the mountain.

The abbot laughed softly, "Where did the three benefactors come from?"

The sound spread for several miles, but it was not too loud. Chen Xun and the others appeared in front of the temple in a blink of an eye.

"Come from the mountains and seas, pass by here, feel confused, come here to disturb me."

Chen Xun looked calm, and met the abbot's eyes, "I hope the abbot doesn't mind."

"Moo~" the big black cow bowed his head slightly, and greeted him.

Xiao Chi hid on the big black cow, looking around vigilantly, the flames had quietly buried in the ground.

It doesn't have the devout beliefs of these two big brothers, and it doesn't believe that the Buddha went to heaven. If it is in danger or deceived, it can at least remind them.

"Excuse me, benefactor." The abbot was quite calm, and didn't even check their cultivation.

"Abbot, why doesn't this temple enshrine Buddha statues?"

Chen Xun frowned, glanced at the big black cow, and plausibly said, "How can we donate incense money?"

The big black cow nodded quickly. When they saw a temple, they would more or less have to be interested, and then record the name of the Buddha.

The corner of Xiao Chi's mouth twitched when he heard this, Brother Xun was so stingy, and he was deeply touched this year, but for some reason, he didn't feel sorry for giving these temple spirit stones for nothing.

It has never heard them talk about the reason, and it is not easy to ask, but the two big brothers must have their own reasons.

"Moo!" The big black cow snorted heavily, what the elder brother said was right, and they didn't lack spirit stones.

It was fate that they met the temple, and they didn't even enshrine Buddha statues, and didn't give them the opportunity to donate spirit stones. Didn't they disturb their Dao heart? !

After the abbot heard it, he was silent for a moment, and his white beard trembled a little. It was really a shocking statement.

"The donor has no roots of wisdom, but a person who cultivates the Tao. Why does he seek Buddha?"

The abbot did not answer Chen Xun, but asked instead, "It seems that the benefactor is not confused, but obsessed?"

Fuck you, master!

Chen Xun's pupils shrank slightly, and in just a few words, he could see him clearly, and even aroused the most unbelievable thing in his heart.

"Moo?" The big black cow gave Chen Xun a hug, but he didn't understand the abbot's words, what is wisdom root, why can't one practice Taoism and seek Buddhahood.

The little red ear moved slightly, not caring what the old monk was saying at all, its flame light was already quietly observing the words and deeds of the other five people, and began to analyze the danger index.

"Abbot, I won't play around anymore."

Chen Xun's eyes were serious, and his breath gradually became deep, as if he had changed his face, "We pray to Buddha only for merit!"

"Moo~~~!" The big black cow's eyes were burning, and it firmly believed in merit.

But along the way, none of the monks they met said why. They probably meant: donating spirit stones will naturally have the merits of our Buddha to protect the donor.

But the answer they want is not this, and they never need merit to protect themselves.

"Hehe, those people in the backyard of the temple are actually eavesdropping." Xiao Chi sneered in his heart, and took a step back, "I have to tell Brother Xun later."

Just when the two were communicating with each other in harmony, no one knew that there was a lion under the belly of the big black bull who 'broke his heart' for them.

"What does the donor think is merit, and why does he come to the temple to seek it?"

"Do good deeds, weed out the strong and support the weak, and you will gain merit."

"Benefactor, this is justice as defined by the world, and it has no merit."

"We used to spend all our wealth to do things for our neighbors and mortals in all directions!"

"Giving without expecting retribution, giving without giving a name, this is a sinful virtue."

The abbot shook his head lightly, saying calmly, "There is no merit."

Chen Xun frowned, a vein appeared faintly on his forehead, and his words became more and more urgent: "We have donated copper coins and spirit stones to many temples, and their Buddhas said that there will be meritorious deeds!"

The big black cow subconsciously stuck to Chen Xun's body, with a little panic in his eyes, and his breath kept blowing out.

"In terms of merit, I never originated from Dali Buddhism. The donor must have the answer in his heart along the way."

The abbot clasped his hands together, lowered his head and nodded lightly, but his demeanor seemed quite refined, "Buddha never existed in temples, benefactor, you've got a picture."

The autumn wind blows, the rustling leaves sound, and a few wisps of wind that don't know the direction are rolled up in front of the desolate and ancient temple.

Suddenly, there was no other noise in the world except the sound of the wind.

Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu were stunned in place, their eyes blank, and they were silent for a long time. The abbot still stood quietly in front of him, his expression full of tranquility.

Xiao Chi looked around and trembled all over, why did he suddenly feel that something was wrong in the atmosphere!

"Hehe, it's impossible!"

Chen Xun sneered, and hugged the head of the big black bull tightly with one hand, "I have been waiting to cultivate immortality for many years, how can I be shaken by a few words."

"Moo!!" The big black cow roared angrily, its head raised a bit.

"Of course, these are just some humble opinions of the old monk, and they cannot be taken seriously."

The abbot's self-cultivation is quite good, and he didn't make any rebuttals, "But it seems that merit is not the obsession in the hearts of the two benefactors. I wonder if what I said is right?"

Chen Xun took a deep breath, and the big black cow turned to look at him with hopeful eyes.

After they rushed out of the small mountain village, their merits and virtues can be said to have run through the first half of their lives, and their obsessions are deep, far surpassing everything else.

At the beginning, Chen Xun just talked casually to comfort the big black cow, but later he believed everything he said, and after more than 2000 years, it gradually became his own belief.

Nothing else, I just want those friends who passed away to be reincarnated because of their merits, and the next life... no longer have so many regrets.

"Abbot, your words were too aggressive just now, you really offended me."

Chen Xun's eyes became calm, and he cupped his hands to make amends, "Merits are very important to us."

"Moo~~" The big black cow also bowed his head to make amends, and just yelled at others.

The abbot bowed his head and returned the salute: "The two benefactors are people who understand etiquette, the old monk just did this unintentionally, and it did not mean to damage the two benefactors' Taoism."

"I also hope that the abbot will explain my brothers' doubts, what is merit?"

"The actions of the two benefactors are all good deeds, which are blessings, but they are far from merit."

The abbot's body looks like a towering tower, and although the cassock is worn out, it still can't hide the wisdom in his eyes. "The merit is to cultivate one's body, and the unity of mind and action is for merit."

"In the realm of cultivating immortals in Dali, there are Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, etc. There are thousands of avenues leading to immortality, and all major sects have merits and virtues."

"Yes."

Chen Xun's eyes were deep, and there was no such saying in Qianguo's world of cultivating immortals...

The eyes of the big black cow are getting bigger and bigger, and it thought that only Buddhism has merits and virtues!
