The evaluation has been improved again, but it is not much better. It simply means that I am a cannon fodder that is not even considered third-rate in the arena. I can fight with people who are not in the ranks. Can only run, unless using Shenxiao Leifa.

Forget it, what are you thinking about so much, it's better to leave, go out quickly, find a way quickly, see if you can find the clue of the fox, if you can't, you can only wait for the cultivation base to improve and find a way.

Chapter 180 Bodhi Temple

Although some historical developments of this world seem to be somewhat similar to those on the earth, in fact, from the perspective of the map, there are not many similarities with the earth in the previous life.For example, Kunlun continues to go west. Although the original plateau is still there, there is no Tubo, but a vast grassland instead.

A magical place intertwined with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and forests.

In this place, which can be said to be higher than Kunlun, there is the largest Buddhist sect in the Central Plains, that is, Bodhi Temple.

According to legend, Bodhi Songzan, who founded the Bodhi Temple, came from Genxi, but passed by this place on his way back, and then realized the profound Buddhist principles while hiding from the rain, and created the unique Bodhi Temple here.

As for the reason that allowed him to comprehend more advanced Buddhism, it was the ancient tree in Shen Mengyan's eyes at this moment.

This ancient tree is just outside the temple, it has not been wrapped up, it has grown extremely huge, just looking at the thick trunk, Shen Mengyan reckoned that it would take several people holding hands to surround it.

Moreover, the bodhi tree is also very tall. Looking up, the tree is at least tens of meters high, as high as a dozen stories of buildings!

The whole tree looks lush, beautiful and full of vitality.

Just looking at it, there is a kind of calming power, as if all the troubles are going away.

"Om mani Padme hum, may I ask why the female benefactor is here?" A man dressed as a monk came up, saluted Shen Mengyan slightly, and then said something. Apart from the six-character mantra in front, Shen Mengyan found that behind her I can even understand part of the words.

But Shen Mengyan was also very sure that this was indeed not a language she was familiar with. If she had to speak it, the language structure seemed to have a little connection with the Buddhist scriptures she had studied, which allowed her to understand part of it.

So Shen Mengyan worked hard to organize the language, and said: "Sorry, although I can understand a little, but I don't understand it very well. I'm not particularly proficient."

She also stuttered, after all, it was the first time she used this language to communicate with others, and the monk was stunned for a moment, then changed the language: "The female benefactor came here from Middle Earth?"

This time it was Shen Mengyan's original language.

Shen Mengyan nodded: "Yes, Mage, I am indeed from Dazhao."

"So that's it. Did the benefactor come here to pray for Buddha or something else?"

Shen Mengyan said: "I'm just here to find a good friend. The Master Wuku in your temple is my good friend. I'm passing by this time, so I'm here to get together."

"So it turns out that the benefactor came to look for Senior Brother Wuku, and asked the benefactor to go in with the little monk for a short rest. The little monk went to inform Senior Brother Wuku, but he didn't know what the benefactor should call?"

"Shen Mengyan."

"Ah?" The little monk was stunned for a moment, his expression was very surprised, and then he said quickly: "It turns out that she is the heroine Shen. I have long heard that there is a young heroine in Dazhao who is a hero. I saw it today, but I don't want to You are so young, so kind!"

Seeing this change in expression, Shen Mengyan felt as if she saw a fan who met her idol. So she is so famous in this kind of place?

Walking in with the little monk, the temple is not particularly luxurious, at least in such a sparsely populated place, this temple is not dilapidated.

However, it can also be seen that the entire temple is very clean, the ground is swept clean, and the trees are well protected. There are also many monks coming and going, which seem to be patrolling monks.

When they came to the place to welcome the guests, the monk asked Shen Mengyan to sit for a while, then made her some tea, and then rushed out.

After a while, he saw Monk Wuku walking in from the door, smiling and saluting slightly as he walked, "Benefactor Shen, we meet again."

"Naturally, I came here in person, of course we met again." Shen Mengyan smiled and said, "You guys are really good here, so it's bilingual teaching."

"Bilingual teaching?" Monk Wuku was taken aback for a moment, then understood what Shen Mengyan meant, and said with a smile: "This place believes in Buddhism, and the people's language comes from a Buddhist country farther west. Although there have been some changes, most of them It’s still the same, but this place has a lot of contact with Zhao Guo, so this temple will teach two languages ​​and characters at the same time, so as to meet daily needs.”

"You guys are really good too. If you want to learn so many things and cultivate, you must not be happy if I say it." Shen Mengyan said with a smile: "Why? Bring me some similar teaching books? I'll take them. Go and have a look, maybe I can also learn the language here."

She wasn't joking, because Shen Mengyan knew that she already had a basic foundation, and it would be much easier to deepen her studies again than to get started. In addition, Shen Mengyan also believed in one sentence, there is absolutely no harm in learning another language.

"Of course you can." Wuku monk said.

With the recommendation of the little monk Wuku, Shen Mengyan believes that she can quickly get related materials for language teaching, but before that, there are other things to do.

"Shen Benefactor, since you have come to this temple, you should have already considered it?"

"Consider?" Shen Mengyan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "You mean the Agama Sutra?"

"It is the Agama Sutra. Although the little monk doesn't know whether Shen Benefactor's sword skills are really related to Venerable Ananda, there is no harm in watching the Agama Sutra. However, Shen Benefactor still needs to think about it himself. Just be clear."

The Agama Sutra, the scriptures written by Ananda in the legend, can be said to be very important Buddhist classics. Not to mention the authenticity, even the hand-copied version by later generations is extremely difficult to obtain. For the plan of the Agama Sutra.

"Then benefactor Shen, please come with the monk, and the monk will take you to see the abbot."

"It's troublesome."

Putting her hands together slightly, Shen Mengyan followed behind the little monk, and the two walked all the way, and soon came to the apse.

You can see a huge Buddha statue in the temple. This Buddha statue is very strange. The only thing that can be seen is its human shape. It is the uncanny workmanship of the carver.

Seeing this Buddha statue, Shen Mengyan stared at it blankly for a long time. She really did not expect that she would see such a Buddha statue. It really shocked people. Those who didn't know it thought they saw something indescribable. of weird things.

Or rather, it's really weird.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind.

Chapter 180 Yes and No

"Om mani padme hum."

The indifferent and peaceful voice gave people a feeling of peace of mind. Shen Mengyan turned around and saw a kind-hearted old man.

This old man is only wearing a thin red monk's robe in this relatively cold plateau. The muscles in his right hand can be seen to be very strong. The meaning of cold is natural, and there is no meaning of shyness.

Shen Mengyan also performed the Buddhist ceremony, and said with a smile: "Om Mani Padme Hum, I have seen the Master."

Different from the "Amitabha Buddha" spoken in the Central Plains, here, the six-character mantra is generally used as the beginning, as a blessing, and as one's own practice.

"I think the benefactor is Shen Mengyan, who is now well-known in the world." The old monk had a smile on his face, and his tone was calm: "Wu Ku has already told the old monk about the benefactor, although it is okay to borrow the Agama Sutra. But the old monk still has some doubts, and I hope the benefactor can answer them."

"Oh? Doubt?"

The old monk smiled and said: "If you can't answer, the Agama Sutra will also be borrowed by the benefactor. After all, this is a Buddhist scripture. If someone wants to read it, this temple should naturally not keep it private."

"Thank you mage, if I can answer the question, I will naturally answer it, please rest assured."

"Don't worry, the benefactor. The old monk is just curious. Is there really a sword technique created by Venerable Ananda in this world?"

This question directly asked something Shen Mengyan found difficult to answer.

Did Ananda create the saber that broke the precepts?

Shen Mengyan will answer yes.

But after careful consideration, this answer is untenable, because this thing came out of a novel, and it was something the author of the novel created himself.

There is indeed Ananda in this world, but is this Ananda that Ananda?

Shen Mengyan couldn't answer this question, it was a question and a question of the heart, and it was related to the later practice, so Shen Mengyan couldn't answer it at this moment.

Even if the other party promised to borrow the book regardless of whether they answered or not, Shen Mengyan needed to carefully consider this point.

So after Shen Mengyan fell into deep thought, the old monk also looked at her quietly, not in a hurry, and did not have the intention of urging her at all, like an ancient pine, appearing very calm and natural.

Time passed slowly, the hall was very quiet, no one came to disturb, the only thing that could be heard was the birdsong and the wind outside from time to time, Wuku monk didn't say anything, he just waited silently, passed After a while, he went out and came back with a teacup and teapot in his hand.

He came over and poured a cup of tea for Shen Mengyan, and put it beside him, but he didn't give any reminder.

At this time, it is not suitable to interfere.

If I hadn’t thought about the fiction and reality related to a novel at the beginning, and the different identities of the name Ananda in different worlds, I could definitely say that this was created by Ananda, because it is not a lie.

But when I realize this question, if I answer it again, it becomes me making a weird sophistry. Even if others don't think about it, they can't get around my own heart...

Do not answer?

Not answering is indeed an option, but is not answering really the best option for me?

It seems that some problems are put on hold temporarily and can be solved later, but in fact, if they are put on hold all the time, it is easy to lead to bigger problems.

Alas, cultivating the mind is such a hassle, and whether it is cultivating Buddhism or Taoism, cultivating the mind is the most important thing. Why can't I be like the protagonists in those novels?You don't need to worry about anything, you don't need to pay attention to your mood problems, you can make a breakthrough...

Lies come out as soon as they open their mouths, and they are not afraid of any backlash...

But since you have chosen to take this path and practice hard, how can you go back on your word? If this is the case, you have to think carefully.

A great man who likes to surf the Internet by leaning on a tree every day said, replace asking questions with thinking.

In terms of the so-called relationship between this universe, that universe, this world, and that world, Ananda did exist in my original world, and then in this world. It was created by Ananda in that world, and I can indeed answer that it was created by Ananda.

It's a pity that it's not, it's just a fiction in a novel, and it's enough to surprise me that this exercise can come out.

In a way, I can say that this cheat book was created by Squid, but Squid is only the author. He just gave a setting and a name. From his setting, this practice is indeed created by Ananda...

And one thing to note is that the Ananda they asked is not the Ananda of that world, but the Ananda of this world. I am aware of this, so from this point of view, I can only say, no.

After a series of struggles in her heart, Shen Mengyan finally understood how she should answer.

She looked at the monk, who should be the old abbot of Bodhi Temple: "No."
