Demon Saint Chapter 509: The Old Beggar (Part 2)
Feng Huo looked at the old beggar warily, and then protected his barbecue tightly, fearing that the old beggar would steal his food.
"What a smart little guy, don't worry, none of these meats are as delicious as yours."
The old beggar's yellow teeth were so terrifying that Fenghuo's hair exploded all over his body.
Qi Chen comforted him and asked the store owner to bring him bowls and chopsticks.
The shopkeeper frowned as he passed by, then lowered his head and whispered in Qi Chen's ear: "Young man, don't believe this beggar who cheats you with food and drink. He will definitely tell you some big truth later, such as the theory that light is useless.
"
"Had it not been for the magnanimity of Buddhism, he would have been kicked out long ago."
"Gungun, you are such a greedy guy. If I hadn't had no money, I would have booked your restaurant long ago, and then your mother-in-law would become my mother-in-law." The old beggar got angry.
The shopkeeper glared and left angrily.
The old beggar was actually not too old. He looked very energetic. He didn't use chopsticks. He just grabbed a piece of braised beef with his hands, brushed it in the sauce, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
He grabbed the wine bottle and poured it directly into his mouth, some of it flowing down his dirty beard.
"Senior, why do you want to ask for a favor from me?" Qi Chen always felt that this person was not simple, but the other party didn't expose him right away, and he wouldn't expose him now if he thought about it.
Moreover, although the assessment is currently taking place, there are still many Taoist and even Tongbian realm experts from the Buddhist sect, and of course they will not interfere.
"You have a good thing, so I'm here. Boy, don't be nervous. I don't have a good impression of Buddhism. No matter who you are or where you come from, as long as you can suppress Buddhism, it is a great achievement."
A new day has passed, the sun has risen again, and there is a cold wind in the sunshine, making the old beggar's figure look desolate and powerful.
"What's wrong with Buddhism?" Qi Chen asked carefully, because he didn't know what the Buddhist exam questions were. Maybe this person did it on purpose.
After all, even if someone knew that he had written the word "black" and found him, as long as they saw the small holy body on Qi Chen, they would subconsciously think that the black word was just a prank.
The best way to deceive the light is of course to wear black clothes, and then when you open it, you will find that there is light inside, but you don't know that there is darkness inside.
Few people will continue to study it.
"It's too bright." The old beggar pointed out the window, "Buddhism is too bright, the light is too bright. Originally, this world should have night, but it turned out to be too bright, and you can't even see the stars. This is a pity."
The old beggar sighed, stretched out his thin hand and grabbed the sky, his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be seeing stars all over the sky.
"Boy, for the sake of the lottery you gave me, I will tell you some things, such as the current abbot of Guangming."
Qi Chen loved to listen to gossip, so he ordered another dish of beef with soy sauce for the old beggar.
"Pure light is pure darkness. This is why the Three Immortals Sect does not only have the Buddha lineage, but also has two other lines."
"Master Yunmu of the Sanxian Sect is a good person, at least not hypocritical. But Buddhism only has Buddhas, so the Great Abbot of Guangming only has Guangming."
"So, this is a bad person." The old beggar said as confidently and childishly as a child.
"There are many gossips in Buddhism. For example, six hundred years ago, today's great abbot Guangming and the outside monks were brothers."
Qi Chen had heard the name of the monk outside his sect.
"The Great Abbot Guangming said, I don't want to be the Great Abbot Guangming, let the lay monks do it, and then the Great Abbot Guangming became the Great Abbot Guangming."
"Five hundred years ago, the Great Abbot Guangming said that there would be no intersection between Buddhism and the Three Immortals Sect, and now he has gone to the Three Immortals Sect to make a breakthrough."
"Four hundred years ago, the Great Abbot Guangming saw a bright light, and the monks followed him to look for it, and found two monster monkey cubs..."
Qi Chen listened carefully, but a huge wave of waves surged in his heart. He knew that the other party was talking about Taoist Mo, but he didn't expect that there would be such huge twists and turns.
In the words of the old beggar, the Great Abbot Guangming shirked his responsibility and drove the lay monks out of the temple. From then on, the Great Abbot Guangming truly controlled Buddhism.
Qi Chen lowered his head and peeled the peanuts. The story was exciting, but he didn't believe it all.
A thousand people will have a thousand ways of describing the same thing, and a little bit of subjective conjecture is enough to overturn the entire story.
The Great Abbot Guangming may have selfish motives, but he is not that stupid.
Moreover, there is a rule in Buddhism that one does not have to be powerful to become a great abbot.
However, he still believed the content about Mo Guantian and Mo Caring. No wonder Taoist Priest Mo hated the monk.
Moreover, he became more and more convinced that it would not be easy for Daoist Priest Mo to come here. Whether he was looking for a Buddhist monk or a layman, in short, what happened back then would definitely cause a big fuss with Daoist Priest Mo's character.
"The monk outside the door is still outside the door and cannot enter Buddhism. You are so angry about this."
"It's quite annoying." Qi Chen took a sip of wine. The wine in the mountains seemed not as good as the wine outside the mountains. It was only spicy and had no aroma.
"Is Buddhism useful? Is light useful? I think it's all useless!"
"You see that Buddhism is glamorous and peaceful, but do you know that a small country near Buddhism has suffered from natural and man-made disasters year after year?"
"What did the Buddhists do? Let the suffering people pray?"
"I pray for your legs."
Qi Chen was ashamed, this was Buddhism, it was a shame that this old beggar dared to scold him like this.
"You see, Buddhism says that there are no desires and no demands, but people who come to pray cannot come empty-handed. All the incense money goes into the pockets of Buddhists."
"I think the richest people are Buddhists."
Qi Chen's eyes flashed: "Light is useless, so what about darkness?"
The old beggar grabbed the beef and said vaguely: "I...didn't say that light is absolutely useless. Of course, darkness is not absolutely useful. Everything that is absolute is bad. If this place is like the mountains outside
, darkness and light alternate, there is day and night, there is the sun and the moon, will this world be more beautiful?"
Qi Chen always felt that he had heard such an argument somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The alternation of the sun and the moon is indeed more interesting.
"Okay, I have collected the lottery and drank the wine. I am satisfied today, old beggar, and I will show you a way."
"What way?"
"Aren't you here to take the Buddhist exam? I'll tell you where to find the exam questions."
"Can this be leaked?"
"What does leaking mean? Such a simple test question, you can't tell because you are in the mountains." The old beggar grinned, his mouth already full of alcohol.
"Are you an NPC?" Qi Chen asked, "Forget it, it's okay, just keep talking."
The old beggar looked at Feng Huo, who was still immersed in eating, and couldn't help cursing: "What a foodie, he can eat better than me. It is said that the mutated two-headed lion's meat is very delicious. There is a six-headed lion in Buddhism, but it's a pity that he can't
eat."
When Feng Huo heard this, he became furious again.
"Boy, take it with you to find the six lions at the Lion Temple. In the entire Buddhist sect, only the abbot of one of the nine temples knows the test questions. The Arhats in the other temples don't know about it. However, the six lions once followed the abbot Caring for a period of time.
Time, and the Buddha nature is very high, maybe it knows."
Qi Chen looked at the old beggar in confusion: "So you don't know, senior."
"Asshole, how could I not know? It's just such a simple test question...I...the weather is nice today."
There was a burst of thunder outside the window, and someone was going through a catastrophe.
The old beggar blushed and left quickly.
Qi Chen stood up and sent him off respectfully, looking at the back in a daze.
"Who do you think he is?"
"A lay monk? A disciple of a lay monk? Or someone from the Taoist sect, or simply the abbot of Guangming?"
Qi Chen scratched his head.
Who knows if this is a link set up by Buddhism.
But fortunately, the other party did not pursue his identity.
Whether it's a black character or a demon character, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with this person.
"However, it's quite nice to bring you here this time." Qi Chen looked at Feng Huo and thought that besides eating and drinking, this guy is finally useful.
Qi Chen left the restaurant, still thinking about what Taoist Master Mo was going to do. This is Buddhism after all, and even in the Illusion Sea Realm, one would not dare to make mistakes at will.
