Chapter 191 Buddha’s Dharma
"This is the family master, the host of Yonghe Temple, Master Zhengwen!"
This monk named Rong Quan led Wei and Xuan into a Zen room.
There was an old monk in his seventies sitting in the Zen room, with a peaceful look on his face, sitting on a futon.
When he first saw the old monk, Wei Xuan could feel the surging energy in him. The old monk's strength was even higher than that of the Rongquan monk.
Although Wei Xuan was secretly investigating, his face was very polite. He held the yin and yang of his hands in a Taoist fist-clasping salute.
"Donor Wei is a member of Xuanmen?"
Seeing Wei Xuan's way of saluting, Master Zhengwen was quite surprised.
In these young days, many boys have long hair and have pierced ears. In addition, Wei Xuan was wearing armor, so the old monk didn't think much about it at first.
It wasn't until Wei Xuan saluted with standard Taoist gestures that he guessed and said.
"I am descended from Shangqing Taoist Master Nanji Zizhen, Shangbao Taiweiyu and Chensheng. I led Nanyue Shangzhen to command Gao Yuanshenzhao Zixu to be a disciple of Daoyuan Lord. My surname is Wei Bao Huacun. I entered Taoism at Qingguan on Tiantai Mountain!"
Wei Xuan rarely introduced himself to others in this way, but the old monk was also a religious disciple, so he spoke in more detail.
"Tiantai Mountain is also a scenic spot, a place of Buddhist and Taoist beauty. Ten years ago, I went to Guoqing Temple to study Buddhism, but I didn't expect that the world would be so different now!"
Master Zhengwen first praised and sighed, and then said: "Old monk Rong, let me ask one more question. Since the donor can come here, he must have realized special abilities. I wonder if it is related to Taoism?"
Wei Xuan flipped his wrist, and a paper man had been ejected. The moment it landed, it had turned into a real person. It could walk and move, but the expression on its face was a little weird and it looked a little scary.
The old monk was naturally not frightened. After reading it, he couldn't help but admire and said: "Taoism has the magic of paper-cutting into human beings. The Taoism is so mysterious. I never thought that I would actually see it in this life. It is indeed a worthwhile life!"
"The master asked this, could it be that he has awakened the ability related to Buddhism?"
Wei Xuan is also a smart man. He knew that the other party must be exploring the connection between supernatural powers and religion when he asked such questions. That's why when the old monk asked just now, Wei Xuan directly revealed his hand.
"Awakening? Is this what you young people say?"
The old monk sighed, and then sighed again and said: "Perhaps awakening is the right thing. The ability to awaken comes from oneself. Unfortunately, old monk, I didn't understand it at the beginning. I always thought that this ability was the mercy of my Buddha!"
The old monk said, clasped his hands together, lowered his head and recited the Buddha's name.
Suddenly, the room was filled with thousands of golden lights. In the golden light, a looming Buddha statue emerged. But before Wei Xuan could see the Buddha statue clearly, the golden light and the Buddha statue converged instantly.
Although it was only for a moment, Wei Xuan still felt the strong pressure brought by the Buddha statue, and couldn't help but look at each other with Pei Yue.
In terms of strength and level, this old monk was obviously not as good as the two of them, but the power displayed by his powers was extraordinary.
In a way, this also verified the two people's previous speculations.
The level of superpower strength and level energy are one aspect, but what the superpower is is equally important.
Wu Dapeng's Nezha incarnation, who had also just awakened his powers, was obviously at a higher level than the others. Even if Wei Xuan faced him, he might not be his opponent.
But now that the old monk is able to use the Buddha's incarnation, its power is still extraordinary.
It can be seen from this that in terms of supernatural awakening, abilities related to ancient gods may have certain advantages in innate combat power.
"The master is able to summon the Buddha's Dharma. It's really profound!" Wei Xuan couldn't help but admire.
But the old monk shook his head and said very sincerely: "Although summoning the Buddha's Dharma has something to do with my Buddha, it has nothing to do with my Dharma practice. It can only be said to be lucky.
I have communicated with Taoist Master Xu Jingming of Baiyun Temple. His view is that you, me and other people with special abilities in this world should be enlightened people with profound blessings. Like ancient gods, they are born to deal with the current world. to save lives from the catastrophe.
As for the ability to awaken, it depends on my own experience, knowledge, visualization, etc., so I will take the liberty to ask! The disciples of Buddhism and Taoism like you and us, whose awakening abilities are mostly related to Buddhism, seem to have an innate advantage. "
"Master, this power~~"
Pei Yue was about to speak, but Wei Xuan held her hand down, stopping her from speaking.
Wei Xuan knew what Pei Yue wanted to say, because she had also taken an astrophysics class, so she knew something about cosmic radiation. She believed that global catastrophes were caused by cosmic radiation, and that awakened humans were like zombies. It is the product of genetic mutation.
Wei Xuan thought so at first, but with the practice of superpowers and more and more superpowers of arrows, Wei Xuan learned more and more about superpowers, and became more and more doubtful about his original guess. many.
It would be understandable if we say that the physical mutation abilities of Gong Peisheng and Liu Haibo are caused by genetic mutations.
But for people like me who have a Tai Chi diagram in their minds, people like Wu Dapeng who can summon the incarnation of Nezha, and people like Master Zhengwen who can summon the Buddha's appearance, it is really difficult to explain it with genetic mutations.
There is indeed a certain metaphysical component here, which is difficult to fully explain scientifically!
The old monk is a religious person, so it is not surprising that he has such thoughts.
Pei Yue insists on explaining it from a scientific perspective. Firstly, it is difficult to explain clearly. Secondly, it is tantamount to denying religious beliefs. This is disrespectful to religious disciples.
Religious disciples can learn, understand, and deny themselves, but they cannot allow others to deny it.
Although Pei Yue is smart, she has no experience in this area, but Wei Xuan himself is a religious person, so naturally he cannot allow her to make mistakes.
When you go out, it's better to be careful so as not to provoke others and try not to get into trouble.
If the old monk is tolerant, he is a good person, but if he is narrow-minded, he will inevitably have a grudge.
As for the old monk's other views, they are not new. Wei Xuan and others had similar views a long time ago.
So after holding Pei Yue down, Wei Xuan didn't want to continue the topic. He pretended to be extremely surprised and cleverly changed the topic and said: "Baiyun Temple? But the most famous Taoist temple in Kyoto, did it also survive the disaster?"
The old monk nodded and said: "Not only has it survived, but it has also developed extremely well. Recently, it has been basically free from the zombies, and it is more than enough to protect itself. In the difficult times in the past, the Lama Temple and the Baiyun Temple interacted and supported each other. But I can barely get through it.”
Wei Xuan was really surprised this time. He didn't expect that the Yonghe Temple and Baiyun Temple were so powerful that they both survived in the bustling city!
It seems that what I said before that you should not underestimate the world is really true.
