This weird tree is different from Xiaoyu Continent and Hidden Immortal Continent. The thick trunk is like a pagoda in a temple, stacked layer by layer. The trunk is bare, with no branches growing until the top of the tree. , and then stretched out several feet of branches towards the surroundings. The leaves that make up the crown of the tree are equally interesting, just standing there like cattail fans. Where the wind blows, the canopy shakes, as if a big hand shakes a hundred big cattail fans at the same time. The fruit of this strange tree also attracted Xiao Hua's attention. This fruit is different from the spiritual fruit and the spiritual wood. It does not hang on the branches, but only sticks to the top of the crown, lifted high, and every tree Only bear nine fruits. These fruits are uneven in size, the big ones are like heads, and the small ones are like fists. The fruit looks very strong, and the green peel tightly covers the fruit. Even if it falls from the top of a tall tree, the fruit does not appear to be torn apart.
The scenery is naturally in Xiao Hua's eyes, but what he pays attention to is still the people in the scenery. The mortals in the Paradise of Paradise are no different from those in the Hidden Immortal Continent, but their skin is darker and their clothes are different. Most of the men wear short dresses, while the women wear light veils to cover their skin and faces. Of course, apart from the lay people, most of them are ordinary monks. In the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, there are many temples, these temples are large or small, and the incense is very strong. Every time Xiao Hua's Buddha Consciousness sweeps through the temples, he will see pious men and women kowtow, offer incense, and donate money. Of course, Xiao Hua's Buddha consciousness is often discovered by the eminent monks in the temple. At the beginning, Xiao Hua hurriedly withdrew his Buddha consciousness, lest it cause misunderstanding, but as time went by, Xiao Hua discovered that not only did those Buddha consciousness not have the temple's hostility , on the contrary, he was very kind, and immediately withdrew his Buddha consciousness as soon as he touched it, and there would never be any further warnings.
"The World of Ultimate Bliss!! Is it really a World of Ultimate Bliss?" Looking at the piety on the faces of men and women and the smiles on the faces of the monks, Xiao Hua sighed again, "People in the World of Ultimate Bliss are very satisfied Is it? Sigh, in Xiao¡¯s opinion, Buddhist sect is a special one among Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. It is not so much a method and method of cultivation as a kind of belief! Although soul cultivation also emphasizes the power of faith, they The believers are all natives of millions of Mengshan Mountains, after all, the scope is limited. And this Buddhist sect because the teachings of Buddhism can be said to be universally illuminated by the Buddha, anyone can believe in the Lord Buddha. The power of faith of such a single person is certainly Weak, not comparable to the millions of native people in Mist Mountain, but it can't stand the large number. I'm afraid there are hundreds of millions of people in the whole world of bliss! This kind of power of faith Be good, it's enough for the Buddha to become a Buddha! Maybe it is This kind of beliefis the root of making people happy? Since they are all beliefs, what is the relationship between the twelve great gods of soul cultivation and the Buddha of the Buddhist sect? My Taoist sectWhy is there no Taoist ancestor? Why does my Taoist sect have no faith ?¡±
Xiao Hua thought about it more and more, he had thought about it before, but at that time it was all doubts and doubts, now seeing the prosperity of Buddhist incense, he didn't think deeply.
Cihui opened her eyes, seeing Xiao Hua also closed her eyes and thinking, smiled slightly, and said: "Junior Brother Tipu, do you have any insights?"
Xiao Hua didn't open his eyes, and said with a smile: "The little monk was a little sleepy just now, just take a rest!"
The matter of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism can only be solved by Xiao Hua himself. He doesn't think that this kindness who only understands Buddhism can help his understanding.
"Look at the distance, we have already reached the Shengren River!" Ci Hui didn't take it seriously, pointing her hand to the distance and said with a smile.
"Oh? So fast??" Xiao Hua's heart moved, and he opened his eyes to look, and sure enough, in the distance, a piece of clear water spread between the sky and the earth, one end of the clear water is connected with mountains and green shade, and the other end of the clear water is connected with In the boundless sky, the blue waves in the distance are so close to the color of the sky, how can we tell the boundary? It's as if the clear water is the fall of the Milky Way. Looking at the clear water again, there are white sails that are smaller than handkerchiefs, and the doll-like boats under the white sails, condensed in the green for a long time, Xiao Hua understands that these boats are not moving, but approaching Drifting like those big ships, but the distance from here is really far away, and the distance those big ships have drifted is too small in his eyes.
"This is this the South China Sea or the Saint River?" Xiao Hua was dumbfounded, isn't the river too wide? ?
"Nonsense, where is the South China Sea? This can only be the Sage River!" Ci Hui lightly reprimanded Xiao Hua, and said, "This Sage River is known as the origin of the two seas. It is not only vast and magnificent, but also crosses the Pure Land World. The tributary flows into it, and the land where the river reaches is covered by hundreds of millions of Buddhist people, and I don't know how many Buddhist people rely on the sage river to live."
"What is that?" As he spoke, Xiao Hua frowned, and pointed to one place with his finger.
"Oh?" Ci Hui was puzzled, and followed Xiao Hua's pointing.
But I saw that it was a river bay several miles in size. The water of the Shengren River flowed slowly, circling and circulating between two hills. The hills were about several miles away, forming a very peaceful Jiang??. The two hills are ordinary and not very tall, but there are actually two golden statues of the Lord Buddha several feet in size built on the hills, so this Jiangwan is different.
At this time, on the hill, many men and women climbed hard and worshiped devoutly before reaching the Buddha statue. Under the hill, the river bay was extremely lively again.
What Xiao Hua said was a team of more than a dozen people. All the people in this team were dressed in plain clothes, and some women had white flowers on their temples. It was like a flower basket, except that there were not only flowers in the flower basket, but also an old man lying naked among the flowers. The old man folded his hands in front of his chest, his eyes were closed, and there was a serenity that was almost a smile on his face.
The team walked to a free place on the side of the river bay, and stopped slowly. Several people in front of the head put down the "flower basket", and a dozen people behind rushed up, and the women put the white flowers on their temples. Pick it off, throw it into the "flower basket", and then everyone work together to lift the "flower basket" and send it into Jiangwan!
Although the river water in the Jiangwan is gentle, it is also flowing. The "flower basket" immediately drifts towards the Jiangwan with the river water after entering the Jiangwan. The "flower basket" was originally made of rattan. Just after drifting out for a few feet, there was an influx of river water, and the river water became more and more abundant, gradually supporting the old man's body, and the "flower basket" gradually sank. .
"Amitabha Buddha" On the side of the river bay, the dozen or so men and women had smiles on their faces. Although some women had tears in their eyes, they still recited the Buddhist scriptures with great reverence. Following everyone's gaze, the flower basket sank to the bottom of the river bay, and the old man's body was indeed half submerged and half floating, fluctuating with the river current.
Obviously, this is a funeral for the old man, and these dozen or so men and women should be the old man's heirs and relatives. If this is the case alone, it may not surprise Xiao Hua, whether it is the cremation of the old monk of Xiaolinglong Temple, or the burial of ordinary monks in Xiaoyu Continent, Xiao Hua has also seen it, this water burial is not unusual. However, this Jiangwan has a size of tens of miles, and there are many people not only on this side of the Jiangwan, but also within the Jiangwan.
Some people inside the river bay are bathing, some are piously immersed in the water, of course, some people don¡¯t know whether they are dead or alive, just floating on the water like that; people outside the river bay, some kneel in the water By the water's edge, grabbing the land with their heads, they didn't know what they were muttering in their mouths, some fell down on the water, holding up the river water devoutly with their hands, and drank it in big gulps, and some people held some boxes in their hands and moved towards the water. What was splashed in the river, if it did not meet Xiao Hua's expectations, it should be the embers after the corpse was burned.
When the corpse of the old man slipped into the river, there were still a few people in the river drinking the river water. These people just gave way a little bit, and then sent the river water into their mouths without caring about the old man at all. ! !
As for the corpse of the old man floating past, people in the river turned a blind eye and didn't care at all.
The people in the river didn't pay attention to the old man's corpse, but the fish in the water and the birds in the sky did. Not long after the old man's corpse floated into the river bay, fat river fish swam over and surrounded the naked corpse in the water, On the surface of the river, several birds also flew down, either eating river fish or devouring corpses. As for the heir of the old man on the river bank, instead of driving away the bird and fish in a hurry, he had a happy expression on his face.
"Is these people too crazy?" Xiao Hua looked at the inconceivable behavior of all kinds of people in Jiangwan, he was stunned, and said in a low voice.
"Amitabha" Cihui was so used to it, she proclaimed the Buddha's name and said with a smile, "What's so strange? Brother Tipu is a little tricky! Brother Tipu doesn't know? My Buddhist sect has never planned to change the name. However, the great river that runs through the Pure Land World has no name in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Buddhists. Whether it is called the Saint River or the Buddha River, in In the hearts of Buddhists, it is just a river of Buddha! It is the unique river in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Buddhists! It is a river full of blessings from the Buddha, and a river that carries the past, present and future lives of Buddhists.¡±
Seeing the way Xiao Hua frowned slightly, Ci Hui said excitedly again, "Brother Tipu, isn't he happy to see this scene? Don't you think this is the Buddha's light in my Pure Land World forever? You know, this In the hearts of the Buddhists, this great river is connected with the Land of Ultimate Bliss. The origin of the river is the outlet of the Paradise, and the destination of the river is the entrance of the Paradise. Just look at the newborn baby. He got the Buddha after being washed in this river. and the old man who just passed away, he washed the dust of his life here, his dirty stinky skin was left in the river, and his clean soul flowed into the Land of Elysium with the river.¡± (Remember this Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
