Inside the small house.
Ning Chenxin transmitted the scene she saw of Zhu Yan to Lu Changsheng.
Because Lu Changsheng had told them that if they continued to discover those rare and exotic beasts, they should tell him immediately.
After learning of the existence of Kunpeng, Xiangliu, and Torch Dragon, Lu Changsheng had always harbored some doubts about this world.
Why do the strange and exotic creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas appear in this world, and why are they exactly the same as those described in the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas?
If it really was done intentionally.
Could it be interpreted that there are also transmigrators in this world who came from Earth in their previous lives...?
They brought the wondrous creatures from the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas to this world.
Or perhaps, this world is intricately connected to Earth.
Upon seeing the Zhu Yan, Lu Changsheng's affirmative voice came from the other side.
"It resembles an ape, with white hands and bare feet, and is called Zhu Yan. Its appearance foretells great war... Legend has it that when this beast appears, chaos will ensue." Lu Changsheng said, "That's right, it's Zhu Yan."
It is exactly the same as the one recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chenxin frowned and said, "The world is in chaos... but when Zhu Yan appeared, there was only a small-scale beast tide. Doesn't that seem a bit different from the idea of the world being in chaos?"
"It is very likely just a harbinger; perhaps chaos will soon ensue."
Its appearance at this time inevitably made Lu Changsheng suspect that this "great chaos" was closely related to them.
"Alright, be careful. Don't try to storm into the enemy sect alone like before when you weren't strong enough."
Ning Chenxin nodded. "Don't worry, Master, I'm just here to confirm some things and, incidentally, to discuss the Dao with Buddha."
By the way...
Lu Changsheng helplessly covered his face.
If Lu Changsheng really had to choose the disciple who made him most uneasy, then that person would definitely not be Ye Qiubai Xiao Hei.
It was Ning Chenxin.
Ning Chenxin usually appears harmless, and as long as you don't cross Ning Chenxin bottom line, she won't fly into a rage and take action.
But once you step on it...
Ning Chenxin usually doesn't care about anything else and just charges in.
Just like when I last set foot in Buddha Mountain...
After losing contact, Ning Chenxin stepped out of the wooden house and looked at the villagers of Cold Soil Village standing outside the door.
The village chief, who was leading the group, walked up to Ning Chenxin, suddenly threw away his cane, bent his knees, and was about to kneel down in front of Ning Chenxin.
But when he was halfway down the knees, he found that he couldn't kneel down no matter what he did, as if an invisible force was holding his knees down.
Ning Chenxin said, "No need to kneel."
The village chief looked up at Ning Chenxin, his voice trembling as he asked, "But... but the Immortal Master has helped us so much, not only solving the soil problem but also the beast tide. He is the guardian deity of our Cold Soil Village! Is it really alright not to kneel?"
Ning Chenxin's smile was gentle and faint. "I helped you because you did nothing wrong and shouldn't suffer such a devastating punishment. That's all. You don't need to repay me."
"If you want to follow a path, you don't need to follow a person, but rather you should believe in the core principles of that path and put them into practice."
Ning Chenxin's words echoed in the hearts of the villagers like the gentle sound of a clear spring.
At this moment, faith in Buddhism began to gradually melt away and be replaced.
Ordinary people have very simple thoughts.
Whoever treats him well, feeds him, and protects his life, that person or their words will hold a very important place in the hearts of ordinary people.
Ning Chenxin is now playing that role.
And this scene was witnessed by the Buddha statue placed in the center of Cold Soil Village...
at the same time.
At the highest peak of the Buddhist Sect, in a magnificent main hall, eighteen gleaming golden Arhat statues are placed on both sides.
Directly in front of you stands a colossal, golden Buddha statue!
Beneath the Buddha statue, an old man, his body as stiff as decaying wood, sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, his hands clasped together and his lips moving slightly as he slowly uttered incomprehensible Buddhist chants.
Suddenly, the Buddhist chanting stopped.
The old man, dressed in a red and gold robe, opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with turbidity, yet they seemed to see through everything in the world.
" Dabei, since someone wishes to discuss the Dharma with my Buddha, then go ahead."
A voice echoed within the main hall.
"Yes."
As a wisp of energy swept down the mountain...
Several elderly men, also dressed in robes, hurried in. After pressing their palms together in front of the Buddha statue, they looked at the old man and said, "Abbot, is it necessary for Dabei to handle such a trivial matter?"
"That's right. Dabei is currently at a crucial stage of enlightenment, and his Power of Faith is fully prepared. Why send him at such a critical moment?"
Abbot Jingxuan closed his eyes again and said, "Great enlightenment cannot be achieved through the Power of Faith alone. Since he has been in that realm for so long, why not let him go out and explore? Perhaps it will have a different effect."
The other elders exchanged glances upon hearing this. Abbot Jingxuan held the highest position in the Buddhist Sect and was a prominent figure who currently controlled the entire Buddhist community.
His words were generally considered to be correct by these elders.
Just as Abbot Jingxuan uttered these words...
Throughout the entire Buddhist Sect, among the hundreds and thousands of temples on the mountains, the bells rang out in unison!
Upon hearing the continuous ringing of the bells, all the abbots of the Buddhist temples sat cross-legged on their prayer cushions and loudly chanted Buddhist mantras.
A Buddhist disciple has emerged from seclusion!
These Buddhist words transformed into golden light, surging towards the mountainside of the Buddhist Sect peak, swirling around a handsome man dressed in simple clothes with a solemn and dignified expression.
It looks ordinary and unremarkable.
But those deep-set eyes seemed to have witnessed countless changes in time, yet the pupils remained clear.
Surrounded by swirling Buddha light, it appeared extremely sacred!
The man stopped, facing the main hall of the summit, and clasped his hands together, saying, "Amitabha..."
This continuous sound not only resounded throughout the entire Buddhist Sect territory, but also reached the entire Cangxuan Continent!
Those top experts could all hear the faint sound of bells.
Those who stand at the pinnacle of the Cangxuan Continent... or rather, the Chaos Realm, cannot help but turn their gaze toward the Buddhist Sect.
"A Buddhist disciple has been born... It seems even the Buddhist Sect is starting to get impatient."
"Ha, so those old bald monks finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
"This great battle is certainly going to be interesting."
Among some ancient sects and Aristocratic Clan.
In a courtyard nestled within a spatial rift, an old man looked at the man before him.
"A great era has begun; why don't you go and explore it too?"
The man nodded, and then the space around him distorted, and he disappeared from the spot.
Elsewhere, there are towering flames, and every place is filled with the power of fire; trees, earth, and air are all swirling with flames.
"Let's fight against those people outside."
"Clear."
This scene is unfolding in all the top sects and ancient Aristocratic Clan.
In Cold Soil Village, Ning Chenxin seemed to be waiting for something, teaching the Cold Soil Village how to cultivate.
Upon hearing the bell ring, Ning Chenxin stopped teaching and looked out of the village.
"It's finally here...?"
==========
PS: There are five chapters in total, and four more are still being written (including the chapters owed from chapters 1, 2, and 3, as well as the two chapters from yesterday).
I just got home in the afternoon and took a nap. I won't go to sleep until I finish writing five chapters.
