Su Wen didn't expect that Sai Hu could flatter him to such an extent for some spiritual crystals.
If Xia Gui saw it, I don't know what he would think.
After Saihu ate a few pieces of spiritual crystals, he wiped away his previous state of exhaustion, felt it carefully, and told Su Wen that there was no information about Xia Gui.
But at this time, it has decided to take Su Wen across the desert quicksand to various places in the Western Region.
It was said that it was helping Su Wen avoid enemies. But Su Wen suspected that Sai Hu wanted to avoid Xia Gui and wanted to follow him to mix spiritual crystals.
Su Wen was hesitant, not knowing how to explain Xia Gui after meeting him.
However, he knew clearly that he probably couldn't wait for Xia Gui to find him, and Long Aotian's aura was lingering nearby again.
After feeling Long Aotian's aura, Su Wen asked Sai Hu to set off again and rushed into the vast sea of sand.
"This guy Long Aotian... belongs to the genus of Nougat!"
Sensing Long Aotian's weak aura, Su Wen cursed angrily.
"Dad, I suggest you don't scold him, don't mention his name, don't even think about him!"
The earthly branches are reminding Su Wen.
Long Aotian locked on Su Wen, and the distance between the two parties was not too far. Su Wen's thoughts were easily sensed by Long Aotian, and then appeared like a shadow.
"And... he, he seems to have become stronger... almost the same as when he was in the brood..."
There was fear in Earthly Branch's voice.
It can sense Long Aotian's existence because Long Aotian has become stronger.
It's just that Earthly Branch couldn't understand why Long Aotian became so powerful all of a sudden when he was obviously very weak.
"Is he free from the oppression of the world's rules?"
Su Wen thought carefully.
"This is too scary..."
Regarding the specifications of the world, Earthly Branches know more than Su Wen. If Long Aotian can do this in a short period of time, it means that it is difficult for anyone in the world to suppress him.
It was only a matter of time before Su Wen and Di Zhi fell into Long Aotian's hands.
So Su Wen could feel the earthly branches trembling.
"What are you afraid of..."
Su Wen felt the fear of Earthly Branches and was full of doubts.
"fear death!"
Earthly Branch’s answer was also very honest.
Saihu is fearless.
Su Wen fed it four spiritual crystals. The power provided to it would require at least half a year of practice to reach this level.
If it could survive with Su Wen for a year and a half, it would save at least 30 to 50 years of struggle.
So it wanted to hug Su Wen's thigh tightly.
As for Su Wen's enemies, it is equally afraid, but with huge profits, it is willing to take the risk.
Rather than taking risks, it is more afraid of being caught by a powerful supernatural being who will turn it into donkey meat and burn it.
At present, there are many strong people who want to do this, but every time it has fast enough legs and feet. When it met Xia Gui, it was chased by extraordinary people to the end of the road, and it was determined that Xia Gui just wanted to find some leg strength, and
It wasn't after eating it that he committed himself to being Xia Gui's mount.
At that time, I made an agreement with Xia Gui that when it wanted to leave in the future, Xia Gui would not stop it. Normally, Xia Gui and it were considered brothers. Of course, this was in private.
Now that Su Wen is willing to offer spiritual crystals to it, Saihu feels that its relationship with Xia Gui is over, and it is time to follow its new owner and enjoy the rich life.
Su Wen didn't know that Sai Hu had so many thoughts running through his mind. He just felt that Sai Hu's steps were light and his speed was like the wind, which made him feel at ease.
But he knew better that blindly escaping for his life was not the answer.
Long Aotian was determined to catch him, but his best chance to get out of the predicament had been exhausted.
When Xia Gui, the old shaman and Kunluo Danyu joined forces and were unable to kill or force Long Aotian to return to Guixu, Su Wen really couldn't think of any other way to stop Long Aotian.
"You can't just run away like this for the rest of your life..."
Su Wen smiled bitterly and silently thought about what to do next.
All the way to the west, after crossing thousands of miles of quicksand, we entered the territory of the countries in the Western Region. These countries also have extraordinary people, but the number is not large, and the order is not high. Anyone who has achieved some success has basically defected to Rouran.
Or...Buddhist country.
"Yes, I can go to the Buddhist Kingdom and let the extraordinary beings of the Buddhist family suppress the dragon... this guy."
Su Wen almost read Long Aotian's name in his mind.
There are five small countries in the Western Region that worship Buddhism. Although they have kings, the real leaders of these five countries are the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats who have achieved enlightenment.
It is said that there are differences between the extraordinary people of Buddhism and the extraordinary people of hundreds of schools of thought.
Before a Buddhist extraordinary person becomes an extraordinary person, he makes a great wish, practices silently, and finally achieves the path and fruition. Once he attains the path, the sequence is fixed from then on and cannot be changed.
Su Wen was very interested in this, but didn't know much about it.
After all, there were very few Buddhist classics in Qingshan Academy. After reading through them, Su Wen came to the conclusion that they were definitely not the Mahayana Buddhist classics he was familiar with, and were somewhat similar to Theravada Buddhism.
But Su Wen didn't take it seriously.
After all, the hundreds of classics in this world are different from those in the world he is familiar with. The former can be remembered, recited, and understood to cultivate literary style and cultivate extraordinary power, while the latter can only be used for exams, and occasionally it may be able to
You try to show off, but you don't have many opportunities.
"The Lord Buddha should be equal to the extraordinary person of the seventh sequence... It is said that Buddhism has been spread in the Western Region for many years, and there are only three existences called Buddha. The number is rare, which means that they are of extremely high sequence. There are relatively more Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Yakshas,
There are many Rakshasa and his ilk..."
Su Wen silently inferred the name of the extraordinary sequence in Buddhism. Although he clearly and simply forcibly connected the extraordinary status of Buddhism with the sequence of extraordinary beings in hundreds of schools of thought, which was somewhat reluctant, in essence, the relationship between the two is
But it’s basically like this.
"If you want to go to the land of the Lord Buddha, then you have to go to the country of Savatthi..."
After Saihu listened to Su Wen's general direction, he spoke out what others said: "Sravasti is different from other Buddhist countries. Other countries just believe in the Lord Buddha, but Savatthi is a Buddhist country, and the whole country is a good man.
, Good woman, bhikkhu, make offerings to the Arhats..."
"Sravasti?"
Su Wen hesitated for a moment.
He clearly remembered that among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, there was no such country name as Shewei Kingdom.
"Hmm..." After eating Su Wen's food, Saihu was particularly positive: "Sravasti is located next to Jingjue. It is a secret country. It cannot be discovered by ordinary people. It is also called by all living beings... the land of bliss.
, some people call it the Pure Land.”
"Western Heaven?!"
Su Wen was shocked for a moment.
He did not expect that the Western Pure Land was among the countries in the Western Region.
"What Xitian?"
Saihu didn't know that Su Wen had strung together the words.
Su Wen shook his head.
This world is still too surprising.
"How do you know the location of Savatthi State?"
Su Wen asked curiously.
In his opinion, this is not something a donkey should know.
"...Master Sai, I...escaped from there."
Saihu seemed to remember something, and his voice suddenly became deeper.
"ha?!"
Su Wen was shocked again.
It’s not that Savatthi is a land of bliss and a pure land. Why did Saihu escape?
"Don't ask, I won't answer if you ask..."
Sai Hu shouted again, blocking Su Wen's question back in his throat.
"..."
Su Wen could only cough lightly, and then said: "Since you have escaped, won't you be in danger if you take me to Savatthi State?"
"I didn't say I would go in by myself! Sending you to Jingjue Country would be the end of my kindness and righteousness!"
Sai Hu raised his hoof and landed heavily on the sand, raising a trail of smoke and dust behind him.
"It's just that during the period, the spiritual crystallization is indispensable... If you can successfully leave Savatthi State, we can become masters and servants and end our mortal bond..."
"..."
Su Wen was silent for another while.
Afterwards, he inquired in every possible way, but Saihu did not disclose any information about Savatthi State.
The more Sai Hu acted like this, the more Su Wen became wary.
"I'm afraid this pure land on earth is not a good place to go..."
Su Wen felt a little worried.
But...compared with the dangers chasing after you, Longtan and Tiger's Den are like a forest park, so there's nothing to be afraid of!
"After all, I am also a Confucian scholar and a historian. Wouldn't the Buddhists be hostile to me?"
Su Wen recalled what he had read about Buddhism in this world, and felt that its profound meanings were exquisite, broad-minded, and pure. It was not extreme. In the end, it was much more relaxed.
"The big deal... just don't argue with them about the scriptures..."
Su Wen thought so.
To be honest, if he really wanted to debate the scriptures, he wouldn't be afraid.
He has learned the Vajra and Surangama by heart, the Heart Sutra, and the Tan Sutra. This is all to help Qian Haoran break through the shackles of Confucianism. Looking back on the scriptures, I don’t know if Qian Haoran has gained anything. Su Wen feels that his Confucian knowledge
, but he has incorporated some Buddhist ideas, but his current knowledge is shallow and he does not know whether the impact on the future will be good or bad.
Saihu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "By the way, if you want to enter Savatthi Kingdom, there are only two ways. The first way is to debate scriptures. If you win the debate, you can enter."
"What?"
Su Wen suddenly realized that his idea seemed to be stuck.
"What about the second way?" he asked tentatively.
"Punch it in."
Saihu said again: "But the wise Arhats and the subdued Arhats guarding the pass can talk, so it's best not to take action."
"...Can you please explain it to me in detail?"
Su Wen was patient and worked hard with Sai Hu.
"No, talking too much will cause more trouble and may even endanger your life..."
"A spiritual crystal."
"Okay... no, two dollars!"
"Two dollars is two dollars, but you have to say more..."
Su Wen discovered that in the face of spiritual crystals, trouble and life danger did not seem to be that important to Sai Hu.
After paying the verbally promised eighteen spiritual crystals, Su Wen basically figured out the situation in Savatthi State.
It can be summed up in one sentence: it is not a good place.
But having said that, for Buddhists, this is indeed the Pure Land on Earth, the World of Ultimate Bliss.
