To be honest, Maitreya Body doesn't have a deep understanding of Buddhism, and he's not really sure about what Future Buddha actually means. Even though Zheng Fa gave a lecture on Great Luo Dharma Assembly, it was the Tao of <Yellow Court Scripture>. He didn't know how much of it was in line with Buddhist School's philosophy.

Buddhist School Cultivation Method is the one he knows the least about.

Most of the systems and institutions of this colony are from modern times, and the reason is simple - this is an outpost established for modern people to get used to.

"I have learned about Thunderclap Temple." Seemingly seeing Maitreya Body's doubts, Azure Maiden glanced at the busy monks in the valley, sighing in his eyes, "I dare not talk about the fundamental concepts of Buddhism, but there are actually two methods of practice."

"Two?"

Azure Maiden spoke out four words with great determination, "Cultivation of wisdom and good deeds."

It can be seen that her understanding of Thunderclap Temple is not just talk.

That's right, she is Golden Immortal, and she has been neighbors with Thunderclap Temple for several epochs. Even if she says she knows nothing about Thunderclap Temple, Maitreya Body won't believe it either.

"Understanding the true meaning of Buddhism with wisdom, and accumulating the incense of faith with good deeds. This is the earliest core practice method of Leiyin Temple. As for the specific exercises, for us, they are details."

Maitreya Body looked in the direction of Thunderclap Temple, his expression deep in thought.

Seemingly understanding his expression, Azure Maiden added, "I told you, that was before."

Maitreya Body I understand a little bit.

If we take this situation as an example, Thunderclap Temple's previous philosophy was probably somewhere in between Jade Pool and Supreme Dao.

There is both the understanding and cultivation of the Great Dao, and the Incense Power way of Divine Way Method.

To be honest, Maitreya Body doesn't think it's a big problem. It can even be said that this concept is very close to Nine Mountains Immortal Court's idea.

Of course, an idea is an idea, and subsequent development often does not follow the assumptions. This kind of thing is too common.

Thunderclap Temple is not talking about the current situation, only that when Lu Mo was in charge, it was already different - from Zheng Fa's point of view, they pay more attention to rule, Incense Power, they just want to make mortals chant scriptures devoutly every day.

Even in my opinion, Nine Mountains Immortal Court may be like this in the future.

"The previous Thunderclap Temple was actually quite good. Although we also had conflicts, I also admired their methods." Azure Maiden shook his head with a pity, "Unfortunately, the Thunderclap Temple of today is no longer what it used to be. In fact, I think most of the Thunderclap Temple monks probably don't remember this themselves."

At this point, Azure Maiden changed the topic and talked about this valley.

"Bodhi Institute, isn't it about imparting wisdom? Great Compassion Institute, isn't it about doing good deeds? And you do it more thoroughly than they do, with the wisdom that all beings are equal, and the compassion that teaches people how to fish."

Maitreya Body's face was a little red. What Azure Maiden said was a bit exaggerated. Of course, he also knew that the other party had a very innocent and enthusiastic character, and sometimes he did speak a little too much.

But to be honest, these things have little to do with him------

These two things are called education and people's livelihood in modern times. They are so basic that even they don't realize there is anything special about them.

When Azure Maiden said it, it sounded like Mahayana Buddhism.

But there is one thing that Maitreya Body is very concerned about. "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that this kind of practice method is Thunderclap Temple's earlier concept?"

Azure Maiden didn't know why he asked this, so he nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

"How early?"

"From the time I came into contact with Thunderclap Temple, they seemed to be like this, but then they became weirder and weirder."

That was really early.

Azure Maiden participated in the establishment of Jade Pool, so dealing with Thunderclap Temple should be at Divine Dao Era.

"So, this is Thunderclap Buddha Ancestor's philosophy?"

Maitreya Body murmured.

"So I said - if Thunderclap Buddha Ancestor really wants to choose Future Buddha, your place is the most suitable for his original idea."

Azure Maiden's words made Maitreya Body more and more certain that Thunderclap Buddha Ancestor back then was not what he is now - there should indeed be Earth Emperor Corpse's hands and feet in it.

Maitreya Body suddenly laughed, "Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Azure Maiden was stunned. "Thank me for what?"

"Tianyun Abbot is coming soon."

Azure Maiden became more and more confused.

In the monk's room of a temple, the abbot Tianyun put his hands together, bent very low, and faced a man in monk's robes whose face could not be seen clearly.

The man in monk's robe sat on the futon and asked, "Who is this Maitreya?"

"I met Rogue Cultivator and Nascent Soul by chance. I saw that he had a kind heart, so I left him a rosary."

"Rogue Cultivator? Where did it come from?"

"This----disciple doesn't know clearly."

The man in monk's robe frowned. "Then why do you value this person so much? Do you want to visit him in person?"

"Disciple, I just picked him up casually, but I didn't expect this person to give me a surprise."

"What surprise?"

"He has spirit medicine."

The man in monk's robe suddenly straightened his waist and said in a surprised tone, "spirit medicine?"

"Yes, from what he said, it's quite a lot."

The man in monk's robe nodded and said, "Isn't he Rogue Cultivator? How come there are so many spirit medicine?"

"This is also where the disciples are confused, but it seems that Maitreya doesn't dare to provoke Thunderclap Temple. He is unwilling to ally with us. He only said that he wants to do some business with us." Abbot Tianyun said with a smile, "He said this, and the disciples were less wary of him."

"Don't be careless," the man in monk's robe warned.

"Disciple understands, that's why we went to see the situation. After all - we really need spirit medicine."

The man in monk's robe nodded slightly and sighed, "These monks in the alliance are distracted. If there is no more spirit medicine, they might turn against them."

Tianyun Abbot did not dare to speak and felt helpless.

In fact, their power is not small, but they are composed of various sects. Not only do they have different interests, but they also have old grudges and endless disputes.

If there is no supply of spirit medicine, I am afraid there will be trouble again.

"Disciple, there is something unclear."

"What?"

Tianyun Abbot asked, "Why do you want to recruit these monks? I don't know what you want them to do."

Speaking of which, most of the monks in the alliance were actually untrustworthy in his opinion.

It was only because of this adult's instructions that he was trying to win over everyone.

The man in monk's robes probably did regard him as his confidant. After thinking for a moment, he didn't hide it. "Because only monks can resist the temptation of Blissful Incense. Future Buddha needs Incense Power. Nowadays, all the common people are basically in the hands of Four Direction Buddhas, and others can't find any source of Incense Power's power."

Tianyun Abbot suddenly realized. "So, sir, you want to gather these monks and provide Incense Power?"

Although the number of the Western Continent monks is far less than that of ordinary people, the Divine Soul of monks is far stronger than that of mortals, and together they are quite a lot.

"This is on the one hand." The man in monk's robe added, "On the other hand, it is also to find the real Future Buddha."

"The real Future Buddha? The strength of these monks----"

Tianyun Abbot said in confusion.

Future Buddha must be at least Golden Immortal in order to be able to bear this title.

But these monks in the alliance - how should I put it, Future Buddha can't be talked about, but the future is very promising.

"You don't understand what Future Buddha means." The man in monk's robes sneered, as if he thought he was ignorant, "Future Buddha is not about cultivation."

"Not cultivation level?" Tianyun Abbot was startled, and his heart suddenly became hot. "Sir, do you mean that there is no cultivation level requirement?"

"Yes, but not many." The monk-robed man shook his head and said, "We have our own ways to improve his cultivation."

Tianyun Abbot's breathing became heavier and heavier.

This sounds like a way to reach the sky in one step!

The man in monk's robe glanced at him, seemed to see his desire, and let out a deep laugh.

Tianyun Abbot said shyly, "I lost my temper."

"It doesn't matter, you can tell the monks in the alliance these words."

"Why----oh! Disciple understands!"

Tianyun Abbot understood immediately.

This can be said to be a means of stabilizing people's hearts - if most monks can become Future Buddha, then most monks will stand on the opposite side of Four Direction Buddhas.

"Of course, the selection of Future Buddha is not that simple." The monk-robed man continued.

"How to choose?"

"We have our own means, but the most important thing is to make him rebuild the new Buddhist School - otherwise, nothing will happen."

Tianyun The abbot responded in a low voice, and heard the man in monk's robe say, "spirit medicine's matter is indeed important, and Maitreya is full of doubts. In this case, I will go with you."

Abbot Tianyun was slightly startled, thinking that the alliance was indeed very interested in spirit medicine, or maybe he was also a little suspicious of the sudden appearance of Maitreya.

The two of them left the temple and flew towards the east. The topic turned to Maitreya again. "Then Maitreya said he wanted to establish a sect?"

"Indeed, that's why he wants to make a deal with us. I guess the sect's expenses are too high." Abbot Tianyun said, "It's just that his sect hasn't been established for a few years. I think--"

Looking at the lively scenery in the valley, Abbot Tianyun's eyes were a little dull.

The man in monk's robes on the side seemed a little surprised. "How many years has this sect been established?"

"I did the math, I have known him for less than three years, so at most three years----" Tianyun Abbot's voice became lower and lower, as if he was a little unsure.

But to be honest, how could the scene in front of me be from a sect that had only been established for three years?

Most of the entire valley is covered with spirit medicine spiritual grasses, which are colorful and colorful, and the mountain breeze also carries various spirit medicine fragrances.

In the other half of the valley, small courtyards were built, which were filled with fire and fragrant.

There are at least two to three hundred monks in the valley. Although they are not strong, everyone seems to be smart and capable.

More prosperous than his temples!

Maitreya Body quickly came up with Tang Lingwu and Old Man Bai. There was a protective formation in the valley, but it was opened to welcome the guests. At this time, the two people from far away discovered each other.

His eyes moved around the face of the man in monk's robes, paying special attention to this person.

There is no other reason - this person is Loose Immortal!

Although they are not afraid of Loose Immortal now, Western Continent does not have Loose Immortal monks other than Thunderclap Temple and Jade Pool.

This person is most likely from Thunderclap Temple. Abbot Tianyun said that there is someone behind him. It is true.

It's just that this person not only hid his face, but also changed his appearance. Even Azure Maiden didn't know who he was.

"Maitreya Fellow Daoist, it's so hard for you to hide this from me."

As soon as he met the abbot Tianyun, he launched an attack on him.

Maitreya Body was a little confused and asked, "Why did fellow Daoist say this?"

"Is this your new sect?"

Got it, Maitreya Body had a look of shame on his face.

"You also said you are Rogue Cultivator?" Abbot Tianyun sneered, "It was so hard to lie to me."

To be fair, Maitreya Body really didn't lie. He actually left his hometown alone to live in the Western Continent. Who knew that Earth Emperor Corpse would come over to his house?

But he was speechless. spirit medicine It's okay to say, but these hundreds of monks cannot be cultivated in two or three years.

"It is true that Non-Self deliberately concealed this from fellow Daoist."

Abbot Tianyun sneered and said nothing. The man in monk's robes on the side also looked at Zheng Fa, Tang Lingwu and others, seeming a little suspicious.

"It is true that I am not from Rogue Cultivator, but the sect has been hiding in the world, living by planting spirit medicine alchemy, and not dealing with outsiders, so I cannot tell my fellow Daoists clearly."

"Hidden world?" Tianyun abbot frowned, his tone still full of distrust, "Fellow Daoist, it's really hard to convince me of this reason."

"It's a long story."

Maitreya Body is not in a hurry, the biggest problem now is how to cleanse his own power and turn it into the Western Continent's local power.

To put it simply, you have to find an ancestor.

Otherwise, they will never be able to develop outward.

"Then I'm all ears."

"Actually----we are Thunderclap Temple branch."

The man in monk's robe was stunned for a moment and frowned.

"The sects in this Western Continent all say that they are members of the Thunderclap Temple branch, but who is hiding?"

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know something. Founder, who belongs to my sect, does not agree with Thunderclap Temple's philosophy, and is not willing to deal with Thunderclap Temple."

As soon as he said this, Abbot Tianyun hesitated.

After all, it sounds a bit reasonable - Western Continent is mostly controlled by Thunderclap Temple. If he can't get along with Thunderclap Temple, he really can only hide himself.

"The ideas don't match?" the man in monk's robe said coldly, "What ideas do not match?"

It could be heard that he still didn't quite believe it.

Maitreya Body was not in a hurry to answer, but led the two of them towards the valley while saying, "The purpose of our sect is to practice both compassion and wisdom, and to shine with the light of wisdom.

Tianyun The abbot didn't understand yet, but the man in monk's robe stiffened.

Maitreya Body acted as if he hadn't seen it, and led them past Great Compassion Institute, pointing at the door of the courtyard and saying, "This is one of our cultivation concepts."

Tianyun The two abbots looked at it and saw two very simple couplets written on it, "A porridge and a meal are both spiritual practice; a bridge and a road are both fields of blessing."

Tianyun Abbot understands somewhat.

After reading Bodhi Institute, he was even more surprised.

Great Compassion Institute has little relationship with the monks, but Bodhi Institute is very generous to his disciples.

"This - is indeed different from Thunderclap Temple's concept." He frowned and said, "Is it just that Daoist friends say that they are from the Leiyin branch? I don't think Western Continent has ever had such a sect."

Maitreya Body hadn't answered yet, but the man in monk's robe suddenly said, "No----"

Tianyun Abbot turned his head to look and asked doubtfully, "Sir?"

The man in monk's robe looked at Maitreya Body with a very strange look. "These words are very familiar to me, very familiar."

Azure Maiden, who was standing in the cloud and listening attentively, also nodded. It sounded familiar to me too.
