The Extreme Princess

Chapter 147 The Way of Preaching

Seeing the disbelief on their faces, he spread his hands and said, "First of all, I am not lying. The practice of Zen Buddhism is different from that of ordinary monks. It is a fact that there are no extraordinary monks in charge..."

Zhong Shuo vowed solemnly.

Gu Yue frowned slightly. The situation Zhong Shuo described was really...unbelievable.

Yuan Lu on the side asked: "What's the reason?"

Zhong Shuo sneered and said, "How can a realm that is elevated by external things be able to glimpse the extraordinary?"

Gu Yue woke up from her dream, "You mean, they have such a large number of Jin Yuan realm cultivators, and their cultivation is all improved by external objects?"

Zhong Shuo nodded.

"What kind of rare and magical thing can produce such a large number of Jinyuan realm cultivators?" Yuan Lu murmured.

Gu Yue speculated: "The Zen people are collecting beliefs on a large scale. Could this be related to this?"

Zhong Shuo looked at Gu Yue with some surprise, "Have you come into contact with this thing before?"

Gu Yue shook her head and said, "It's just a guess."

In the past, there were many religious sects in the world, preaching to each other and competing for believers. Among them, three or five religions had a large number of believers all over the world, and even existed for more than thousands of years...

At that time, Gu Yue didn't understand why some missionaries were not after profit, power or fame, but seemed to have a heart to save everyone.

Now it seems that there may be some unknown secrets behind it...

"Sister Yan Shu is really smart..."

Zhong Shuo smiled and said, in fact, for the monks on the mountain, especially those who have had contact with Shaoyang Temple, it is very easy to see their secrets.

In fact, they didn't keep this secret secret.

"I see..."

"But since this Zen sect has such a terrifying number of Jinyuan realm monks, why would they be willing to stay in this city?"

Yuan Lu also understood the whole story, but she was still a little curious.

More than one hundred powerful Jinyuan realm masters.

Not to mention the wars, it would not be impossible for them to travel around the world and preach the gospel, and travel all over the Taiqing Continent.

Lin Chengmo frowned and said, "It's very strange. Although the ordinary people living on Taiqing Continent cannot practice cultivation, they are not ignorant. How could there be a city full of believers?"

I heard from an old Taoist priest before that Zen Buddhism never used force in its missionary work. Instead, it was always portrayed as a god who saved people from suffering...

"They have to go, too."

Zhong Shuo said disdainfully: "Zen Buddhism has taken root in Fengxi City. Many forces do not interfere with it and may tolerate its existence. If it dares to leave Fengxi City, what will they do?"

Gu Yue nodded and said, "After all, no one wants to see any sectarian beliefs appear within their sphere of influence. Something that can shake their foundation will appear."

"Junior sister, you mean..."

Gu Yue nodded and said, "Once religious beliefs begin to spread, it may not be a big deal in the short term, but over time, your sect will no longer be able to absorb fresh blood!"

After hearing Gu Yue's explanation, Yuan Lu and Lin Chengmo suddenly woke up.

The previous Qingtian Temple is a living example.

If they want to let go and recruit disciples, even if the Taoist temple is not very good, it is still a mountain sect for ordinary people. If they are accepted into the sect, there is always a glimmer of hope for practicing mountaineering.

But the situation at Qingtian Temple has obviously not been going on for a long time, perhaps even decades.

The reason is that now almost all the ordinary people living at the foot of the mountain in Fengxi City have become believers of Shaoyang Temple. Recruiting disciples from them? When these disciples grow up, it will only take a word for the Taoist temple to change its owner!

Similarly, if the Zen sect is allowed to leave the territory of Fengxi City, they will be like a stick stirring up trouble, stirring up the porridge in the pot!

Under such circumstances, if the Zen Sect goes beyond the territory of Fengxi City, it will indeed suffer an unimaginable blow.

"As for their ability to preach..."

Zhong Shuo shook his head and sighed, "For ordinary people, suffering is the most effective way to spread the gospel."

After these words came out, even Gu Yue was a little confused for a moment, frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"

Zhong Shuo said, "If you were a tenant farmer in the mortal world, and the weather was bad one year, with a drought lasting three months, half a year, a year, or even several years, what would you do? If praying to the so-called gods and Buddhas was useful at this time, and praying to the gods and Buddhas would bring a good rain, what would you do over time?"

"Also, if a monster came to your place and ate a person every day, and the monster stayed in your place for three or even ten years, and someone told you that if you prayed sincerely, a god would appear and kill the monster, what would you do in despair?"

"Furthermore, if you were an ordinary person, your originally peaceful life was swept by a rare plague, and this plague was completely incurable. When the ground was littered with corpses, a few people came and told you that as long as you were sincere and believed in God with them, the plague would retreat."

"And everything is just as they said. Just do as they said and all the problems will be solved. What will happen if you are an ordinary person?"

Listening to Zhong Shuo's endless examples, Gu Yue and the others felt a chill down their spines.

Yuan Lu's face turned pale. "You mean, they are controlling everything behind the scenes, deliberately creating suffering just to gain the faith of the mortals?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Zhong Shuo's face turned slightly cold. "The existence of Zen Buddhism is like a cancer to many forces in a certain land..."

Gu Yue's glasses suddenly turned, and he asked with a smile: "Your Fengdu City is powerful, and there are powerful monks in charge, why don't you just take action and eradicate this cancer for Fengxi City?"

Zhong Shuo seemed to have guessed that Gu Yue would ask this question, and replied: "Fengdu City is secluded from the world, and it is not suitable to participate in these fights..."

"Really?"

"How is this false?"

"understand!"

Gu Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, took out the mattress and quilt from her belongings and began to spread them out, saying, "Senior Sister, we should rest now. We have to go on the road to find Fengdu City tomorrow."

"it is good..."

Yuan Lu responded with a smile.

"Hey?"

Zhong Shuo was stunned. "So all my talk here was in vain?"

Gu Yue curled her lips and said, "You also said that the other party is so much stronger in the Jinyuan realm. We are so weak that we won't be able to fill the gaps between our teeth. Moreover, who knows how many evil spirits and ghosts are hidden..."

Gu Yue seemed to suddenly realize that she had said something wrong, and quickly smiled apologetically, saying, "Don't mind it, I'm not saying you..."

Faced with Gu Yue's sudden change of attitude, Zhong Shuo was a little at a loss for a moment.

After a long while, Zhong Shuo shrugged and said indifferently: "Of course I can't force you to do this. In this case, you can slowly find the location of my Fengdu City."

As he spoke, Zhong Shuo glanced at Gu Yue's lower abdomen intentionally or unintentionally, "But you guys should move faster, otherwise..."

"Boy, are you threatening us?"

Lin Chengmo glared.

Zhong Shuo looked up and locked eyes with Lin Chengmo, not giving in at all. "Anyway, I'm the only one out of Fengdu City these days, so just go find me."

Zhong Shuo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his eyes seemed to say, you are awesome that you can find the entrance to Fengdu City by yourselves!

"If we get the source of all living things you mentioned, we will take half of it!"

After a long silence, Gu Yue finally spoke.

"make a deal!"

What surprised several people was that in the face of Gu Yue’s request, Zhong Shuo agreed without much thought.

This is like going shopping and the store owner offers ten thousand taels of silver, but you bargain for a hundred taels, and the store owner agrees to the deal in a flash. It makes you feel like you've been ripped off.

"You ghosts, do you also need to sleep?"

Seeing Zhong Shuo also starting to fiddle with a corner, Gu Yue asked curiously.

Zhong Shuo glanced at Gu Yue unhappily, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and remained silent.

"Can you ignore objects and walk through walls and mountains?"

Seeing that Zhong Shuo didn't say anything, Gu Yue continued.

The corners of Zhong Shuo's mouth twitched.

"Do you know a ghost named Zhong Kui?"

"do not know!"

Zhong Shuo angrily said: “Has anyone ever told you that you are a bit annoying!”

"It's my first time communicating with a ghost. I'm curious!"
