Chapter 268 Three Dao Ancestors

Chapter 268 Three Dao Ancestors

"The environment in the Pure Land is really good. It's all green as far as the eye can see." Li Xiuchang couldn't help but sigh.

"It's all tobacco." Chen Changsheng said faintly.

"Ah?"

Li Xiuchang observed carefully and found that it was true.

It's a bit exaggerated to say that all tobacco is planted. The good environment is because many mountains, forests and grasslands are well protected and not destroyed.

But in all the farmlands I saw along the way, I didn't see any crops or fruits and vegetables.

"This... What do people eat if they don't grow crops?"

The only practice inheritance in the Pure Land is Buddhism, so everyone in the world believes in Buddhism, but not everyone can practice Buddhism.

The proportion of monks is still very small, and most of them are ordinary people.

Chen Changsheng explained: "All temples, big and small, will ripen grains. People use the tobacco leaves they grow to exchange for grains at the temples, which is more cost-effective than growing grains themselves."

"Is it really that way?" Li Xiuchang asked puzzledly, "Is the demand for tobacco in the Pure Land Realm really that great? People can't grow any high-grade tobacco, right?"

"Of course the demand is great. Almost everyone in the Pure Land Realm smokes, regardless of their level of cultivation. Of course, they smoke spiritual tobacco, which is only good for the body and not harmful. People only grow some of the lowest-grade spiritual herbs, but this kind of tobacco is exactly the one with the greatest demand."

Li Xiuchang couldn't help laughing: "I thought only high-level Buddhist practitioners were addicted to smoking."

Chen Changsheng said: "That's right in the early days. Only Buddhist practitioners above level 5 became addicted to smoking because of refining their internal organs. But the weak will always learn from the strong. When more and more high-level Buddhist practitioners in the Pure Land smoked, low-level Buddhist practitioners naturally began to follow suit. As a result, most Buddhist practitioners have developed the habit of smoking now."

Fakong and Fahua took Li Xiuchang and the others all the way to a magnificent temple. It was more like a city than a temple.

The temple was full of monks.

On the gate of the temple, a plaque with the words "Pure Land Temple" was hung high.

It goes without saying that this must be the number one temple in the Pure Land.

However, why is this Buddhist holy place covered by heavy clouds and gloomy?

Li Xiuchang took a closer look and found that it was not clouds, but smoke!

From time to time, smoke could be seen floating from various parts of the temple and merging into the smoke in the sky.

"Fuck!" Li Xiuchang couldn't help but blurt out.

How many monks in this Pure Land Temple are smoking to form such a cloud of smoke?

"What's wrong?" Chen Changsheng was not here for the first time, and he was no longer surprised by the smoke.

"Nothing, I suddenly remembered the 'lying grass' I picked in the Reclining Buddha Temple in the Zen Heart Realm before. Maybe there is a recipe for the elixir of lying grass in this Pure Land Realm."

Fakong and Fahua came back this time to mobilize the monks of the Pure Land Temple to go to the Dark Heaven Realm to eliminate demons. Therefore, they were very busy and had no time to entertain Li Xiuchang and the others. They called a big-headed monk over and ordered:

"Hui Ren, please entertain the two donors."

The big-headed monk named Hui Ren responded and politely led Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng to a side hall of the Pure Land Temple.

Hui Ren obviously knew Chen Changsheng, after all, Chen Changsheng's clone had been in the Pure Land Realm for a year or two.

After the two of them sat down, Huiren asked Chen Changsheng: "Senior Chen, I wonder who this young donor is..."

"This is my junior brother, Li Xiuchang." Chen Changsheng introduced.

Because of the relationship between him and Chen Changsheng, Li Xiuchang directly gave him a higher generation. Huiren hurriedly said: "So it's Senior Li, I'm sorry."

"Master, don't be polite, we can just talk about our peers."

Li Xiuchang made a few polite remarks, and in order not to make things awkward, he casually found a topic.

He had just arrived, and the other person was polite, so he didn't talk about business directly.

It would be more convenient to build a good relationship first and then talk about business.

Li Xiuchang looked at the Buddha statue in the main hall, with his hands clasped together, and his compassion was majestic, which was slightly different from the Buddha statues commonly seen in the Xianyin Realm.

"Master Huiren, which Buddha is enshrined here?" Li Xiuchang asked.

"This is the great disciple of the Buddha, Mingguang Buddha, and the Buddha statue is enshrined in the main hall." Huiren introduced.

Li Xiuchang lit two incense sticks, as a greeting to the Buddha, and sent a message to Chen Changsheng: "Buddhists all worship Buddha, but our Xianchen Sect doesn't seem to worship Daozu."

"Why not? When every disciple obtains the foundation-building period skills, he must go to the inner gate hall to thank Daozu for giving the skills, because all the ways and methods in the world come from Daozu, but your skills are not obtained from Xianchen Sect, so this step is naturally omitted." Chen Changsheng said.

There is also this matter?

It was the first time that Li Xiuchang heard about it, and curiously asked: "I wonder which Daozu is worshipped by Xianchen Sect?"

In the Xianyin Realm, there are different opinions about who is the Daozu. Some people think it is Guantian Daozu, some think it is Wenxin Daozu, and some think it is Minzhong Daozu.

The core of the three people's Dao is also different.

One person thinks that the Dao is in the sky, one thinks that the Dao is in the heart, and one thinks that the Dao is in all living beings.

As for these three people, who is the ancestor of Taoism, the Xianyin Realm has different opinions and endless debates, and there has never been a unified statement.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "All three Taoist ancestors of Xianchen Sect have been worshipped."

Good guy, this doesn't offend anyone.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money, so just worship all three.

However, if these three Taoist ancestors were a little more careful, they might have offended all three.

After a chat, Li Xiuchang finally got to the point: "Master Huiren, I still have a lot of Buddhist resources here, see if you need any."

He handed several storage bags to Huiren.

Huiren checked them one by one, and his face was moved. He didn't expect that Li Xiuchang was so wealthy that he could take out so many Buddhist resources at one time.

"How much do you want to pay for these things, Mr. Li?" Huiren asked.

"Master, please give me a price."

Huiren took out a storage bag, which was filled with Buddhist instruments.

"These instruments are priced at 80,000 Lingshi, okay?"

Li Xiuchang was delighted, but still shook his head and said, "Master, there are quite a few top-grade instruments in it."

Huiren gritted his teeth: "Then... 100,000?"

Li Xiuchang sighed: "100,000 is 100,000, just treat it as making friends."

He didn't expect that these scraps of copper and iron that few people in Xianyin Realm used could be sold at such a high price.

These are indeed instruments, but they are all instruments suitable for Buddhist practitioners.

The number of Buddhist practitioners in Xianyin Realm is declining and rare. The number of Buddhist instruments in the world is too large, and those few Buddhist practitioners can't use them at all.

It also caused a sharp drop in the price of Buddhist instruments and magic treasures.

Li Xiuchang spent only about 10,000 spirit stones to purchase the instruments in that storage bag.

There is no way, people should multiply by ten.

Next, Li Xiuchang sold the remaining resources to Huiren at a market price far exceeding the market price of Xianyin Realm.

But in the end, he did not ask for spirit stones, but proposed to buy some specialties of Pure Land Realm.

"Master, give me some Burning Heart Grass Tobacco Paste, and other kinds of tobacco tobacco paste, but only those above level 5."

Huiren nodded: "No problem, what concentration do you want for Burning Heart Grass Tobacco Paste?"

"This thing also has concentration?"

"Well, many tobacco pastes are divided into grades, including Bailian paste, Qianlian paste and Wanlian paste."

Chen Changsheng on the side explained: "It's the difference between ten times concentrated, one hundred times concentrated, and one thousand times concentrated."

There is also a thousand times concentrated?

This is too good to be true!

"Give me a little of each!"

As long as it is an expensive treasure or a precious treasure, he does not pursue quantity, just a little sample is enough.

Li Xiuchang also bought some other high-level tobacco pastes with strange effects.

He also bought some high-level spiritual plants and seeds.

Li Xiuchang also learned that in the Pure Land Realm, the internal organs have developed a new system of their own.

Normal internal organs are only at the fifth stage. When the internal organs are fully developed and the body cultivation reaches the sixth stage, the internal organs will be stopped.

But in the Pure Land Realm, they have cultivated some special spiritual plant varieties that can break the limit and continue to strengthen the internal organs after the internal organs are fully developed.

To put it bluntly, they are all trained by smoking.

So Li Xiuchang bought some of the various tobacco pastes of the seventh and eighth levels.

He wanted high-end goods, and basically sold low-end goods, so in the end, Li Xiuchang even lost some spiritual stones.

Of course, this is also because he did not sell things like the beast king bone powder and blood bodhi fruit mud.

After the payment and delivery, Li Xiuchang asked, "Master Huiren, have you ever heard of the lying grass?"

"Yes." Huiren nodded calmly, "Swear words."

"That's what I'm talking about." Li Xiuchang had no choice but to take out a plant of lying grass.

In the transaction just now, he did not trade the lying grass.

Huiren frowned, as if thinking.

Li Xiuchang then told what he knew: "It is said that this lying grass only grows in the place where the real Buddha sleeps soundly. It can be used to refine the "Dream Pill". Taking it can help you comprehend Buddhism in your dreams and make rapid progress."

Huiren seemed to remember something when he heard it, and said, "What Mr. Li said reminds me that I have seen an ancient pill recipe before, which is called the Dream Pill."

Li Xiuchang was overjoyed. He didn't expect that there was really a pill recipe in the Pure Land!

He only had the main medicine, but no pill recipe, which resulted in the fact that this lying grass had no place to use.

Dream Pill, that's a good thing, it can help you realize the truth in your dreams!

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the Sutra Library to look for it. You two can look around first. I'll come find you when I find the elixir." Huiren said goodbye and left.

Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng were bored sitting there, so they left this side hall and wandered around outside.

"How can secondhand smoke be smoked everywhere in this quiet Buddhist place?" Li Xiuchang sniffed.

As soon as he came out, he smelled the smoke.

A passing monk disagreed and said, "Donor, you are wrong. Even the Buddha needs incense and offerings. Isn't it that we Buddhists are also imitating the Buddha when we smoke?"

Li Xiuchang was helpless: "You talk too much."

The Buddha smoked incense, and you smoked cigarettes. They are all inherited.

From a distance, Li Xiuchang saw a group of young monks standing in a row, one of them holding a pipe in his hand, and there were many people around him.

"What are they doing?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.

The passing monk introduced: "They are competing to see who can blow the smoke farther."
