Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 280 279: Esoteric Buddhism: Ascetic Monk

There is a Buddha in Luozhou.

Because it was a frontier state in all dynasties, it was inevitable to have contact with other countries outside the region, so a lot of Buddhist culture from other countries was introduced here.

However, strictly speaking, it should be called Tantric Buddhism rather than Buddhism.

Esoteric Buddhism is similar to Buddhism, but Buddhism is older, while Esoteric Buddhism is a new monastic sect.

In this vast world of the secular world, there are hundreds of schools of thought, and the three religions and nine schools of thought are all extremely prosperous, which have led to the emergence of many things.

Esoteric Buddhism is a new sect that came from Yunchao outside the dynasties. It took advantage of the chaos in the dynasties several decades ago to sneak in and robbed a lot of local Buddhist incense, leading to mutual hostility between the new and old Buddhist sects.

Esoteric Buddhism believes in asceticism and holds that as long as one endures more suffering than ordinary people in this world, one will be able to be reborn in paradise and attain enlightenment and become a Buddha in the future.

They regard their current bodies as carriers of sin, a stinking bag of skin, and they must toil, starve, and deprive themselves of all else before they are qualified to practice for the right results.

Therefore, most people in Tantric Buddhism are ascetics who travel the secular world practicing asceticism to wash away their sins and measure their own practice.

Lin Beixuan looked at the lice-brain tree in front of him with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Ever since he learned some information about the other party from the panel, he became even more disdainful of the Lice Buddha Brain Tree in front of him.

This Buddha's brain tree was originally a esoteric Buddhist monk who came to Luozhou to preach the scriptures. However, not long after arriving in Luozhou, he encountered the starving ghost incident.

When he passed by the Yamaguchi Village, he saw that the people were emaciated due to hunger, so he started to spread their esoteric beliefs to them. He thought that this was an opportunity sent by God to make the people of Luozhou believe in their esoteric religion.

Therefore, he encouraged people to endure hunger and refuse the temptation of food, which was a blessing from God to free them from desire.

This is a madman whose principle is self-obsession.

You have to endure the hardship even if there is no hardship.

Luozhou had been suffering from drought for quite some time before the outbreak of the starving ghost incident, and people still had some surplus food at home, and many people began to believe in his ascetic beliefs.

But gradually, the drought became more and more severe, and even the well water dried up, and people's thoughts changed.

Until the first person starved to death, everyone was heartbroken and saw no hope for the future. However, the Tantric monks were more excited than ever, believing that the person who starved to death had gone to the Tantric Buddhist world and achieved enlightenment.

As soon as the esoteric Buddhist monk's words were spoken, the people of Yamaguchi Village immediately split into two factions.

One group firmly believed in the monk's words, while the other group thought that the monk's words were all fallacies.

I can believe in your asceticism, but it requires me to ensure my survival.

But now that everyone is unable to survive, what does your faith mean to us?
As one person after another died, those who believed in the monks starved to death, while the villagers who denied the monks gradually became crazy.

They had eaten everything that was edible, and now only the human food was still edible.

So some people targeted the bodies of those dead people.

Tantric monks did not protect their believers because in their eyes these fleshly bodies were sins, and those who ate sins became sinners.

The esoteric sect has never been merciful towards these sinners.

So he killed these sinners, collected their heads and piled them beside him, chanting sutras for them all day long, hoping that they would be able to recognize their faith in their next life.

In the end, he himself starved to death in the village.

Fortunately, at this time in Yamaguchi Village, no one would eat his corpse.

“Crackle…”

The night wind blew, and the dried heads collided with each other, making an indescribable crisp sound.

The shrunken faces were clinging to the dehydrated skulls. Even now, one could still see the expressions of resentment and resentment on the faces of those people when they died.
"Oh, foolish beliefs, and... wrong Buddha!" Lin Beixuan sneered mercilessly.

The cold sickle blade followed the red shadow and chopped off the huge head under the lice brain tree.

"Clang!!"

However, the imagined scene of blood and flesh splattering did not appear. The huge head was as hard as a stone, and the sickle blade only made a clanging sound like metal when it hit it.

The vibration from his wrist made Lin Beixuan's entire arm numb. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his energy flowed like a dragon, instantly penetrating into his five fingers.

"Crackling..."

Lightning intertwined, and black thunder burst out sparks, scattering around and shaking the air.

Lin Beixuan clenched his five fingers into a fist, stepped forward, and hit the hard head hard.

‘Bang! ! ’

With a loud bang, a large amount of thunder power surged out, leaving a dark deep hole on the brain tree, and at the same time, Yin thunder continued to drill out of the hole.

"The Thunder Fire is the best at suppressing the evil spirits in the world. What you thought was transcendence and rebirth is actually nothing more than becoming a strange monster in the world, an unwilling soul that starved to death."

Lin Beixuan is a practical person. In his opinion, the beliefs of these esoteric monks completely violate the principles of being a human being.

It is ridiculous that instead of pursuing to become better, people regard suffering as a form of self-cultivation.

This merciless remark seemed to have touched the obsession deep within the Brain Tree, and the Brain Tree became extremely angry. Its eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, emitting two rays of light that seemed to be real. The air was filled with a suppressed and violent atmosphere.

"How dare you, an ignorant person, blaspheme the truth of Buddha!"

The deep voice of the Brain Tree echoed, and the densely packed wind-dried heads on the trunk opened their mouths at the same time, chanting Tantric Buddhist words in unison.

However, these Buddhist teachings were not majestic and upright, but extremely strange and eerie, constantly bewitching Lin Beixuan's mind.

"Haha, your Buddha is full of evil spirit. Do you think this kind of Buddha is good or evil?" Suddenly, a black dragon flew out from Lin Beixuan's mind and swallowed up all the Buddhist music.

"Shut up!!"

A sharp sound came out of the Brain Tree's mouth. The Brain Tree looked at Lin Beixuan with disgust. Its mouth was cracked to a horrible degree. The gaps between its teeth were filled with black mucus like blood, emitting a foul odor.

"You are also a sinner, and sinners should be reincarnated again."

It judged Lin Beixuan with just one word and labeled him a 'sinner'.

Lin Beixuan didn't care at all, his eyes were glowing red.

"Sinner? I am who I am. Even if I am guilty, I don't need others to judge me."

"boom!!"

The tall door behind Lin Beixuan opened with a heavy creaking sound, like the whispers of ancient times.

The inside of the gate was majestic and grand, with ancient shrines standing in a tripod. Blood rain was falling, the flowing Yellow Spring was steaming with hot air, and the air was filled with mist, revealing a strange scene inside.

Everyone's mansion is different after they open it, but most of them are related to what they think and what they have in their hearts, as well as their own background. Some people miss their hometown, so the mansion becomes the appearance of their hometown.

Some people study martial arts in depth and practice in seclusion all year round, so their mansions are similar to their own homes...

The mansion of a man is determined by his character. This has always been the rule in the secular world. However, Lin Beixuan's mansion combines many elements, which is completely different from that of ordinary people.

The moment he opened the mansion, Brain Tree was instantly attracted by the strange scene inside the mansion, and a trace of fear inexplicably arose in his heart, as if there was something inside that was naturally able to restrain ghosts and evil spirits like it.

"The Lord of the Shrine of Bai Ze Shui Jun: Zhen Tao - The Three Disasters of Ice and Flood."

A wisp of mist diffused from Lin Beixuan's mansion to his feet. The temperature of the surrounding environment dropped suddenly, and white frost even appeared on the corners of some eaves and houses.

"call……"

Lin Beixuan exhaled lightly, and the air in front of him instantly turned into sharp ice crystals.

"Sizzle!"

Before the lice-brained tree could react, an icy trail spread out from under Lin Beixuan's feet and quickly covered its entire body along its lower body.

The wind-dried head was chanting Buddhist scriptures frantically, but it had no effect at all against the extremely cold air.

Soon, the brain-smashing tree was frozen in place, and was covered in icy mist.

Lin Beixuan walked along the icy road under his feet towards the Lice Buddha Brain Tree. When he got close to it, he raised his hand and struck it lightly.

'boom! ! ’

The body of the Brain Tree was like fragile porcelain glass, first cracking and then shattering.

[You killed the starving ghost - Lice Buddha Brain Tree, successfully saved him, and obtained 500 Years Coins. ]

[You killed the Buddha's Brain Tree and obtained the item dropped by the Buddha's Brain Tree after its death: Ascetic Relics. ]

[Austerity Relics (Blue): Only those who are most determined in their ascetic beliefs can produce relics in their bodies. They have good medicinal value and can also be ground into powder as food to please secular gods.]

Lin Beixuan bent down and picked up a glowing bone from the ice chips on the ground and shook his head slightly.

"Whether it's right or wrong, you can firmly believe in your own way, which is extremely admirable."

"But if you impose your own way on others and force them to follow it blindly, it is no longer a way, but evil."

"Unfortunately, the last relic that was born can only be used as medicine and food to please the gods."

Lin Beixuan sighed and put the ascetic relic into the bag.

With his current family background, it can be said that it is very wealthy. Even the secular princes who are one level higher than him are far inferior to him.

"It really is true that farming honestly is not as fast as making a fortune by killing people and robbing people!"

Almost all of these things on him were not his own. They either came from Liu Xian or from people he had killed. In just a few months, his waist was bulging and his two baggies could hardly hold all the money.

"I'll have to find a chance to get a bigger Bai Na Qian Kun bag in the future, or just ask Master Xiao to help me make a real bag."

Thinking of this, Lin Beixuan couldn't help but think about the weapon he asked Xiao Zizai to make. After so much time had passed, it should be almost ready.

After this trip to Luozhou is over, the first thing he will do is to get it. This is the special weapon that he asked a master craftsman to forge for him!
Then, he patrolled Yamakou Village again, and only after making sure there was no danger did Lin Beixuan return to the team.

When the infant spirit saw him coming back, it immediately pounced on him, stretched out its five fingers to count, and showed its achievements to Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan rubbed the infant spirit's head and threw the ascetic relic to it.

The infant spirit thought it was a reward and happily took the relic to examine it. However, after a while, his face fell and he threw the relic back to Lin Beixuan.

I thought it was something, but it turned out to be just a human bone. I didn't like it.

Lin Beixuan felt a headache as he watched the baby spirit floating away with a sulky look on its face.

Ever since Kaifu grew up a little, the infant spirit's personality has become a bit like his own naughty child, mischievous and no longer as well-behaved as before.

You know, the little baby spirit used to listen to him very much and never despised the rewards he gave.

'well! '

Just when Lin Beixuan was wondering whether he should take some time to have a good talk with the infant spirit, Shen Tingmiao suddenly came to Lin Beixuan.

"General, everyone has been settled."

"How are the two brothers who were seriously injured?" Lin Beixuan asked.

Shen Tingmiao pursed her lips, her expression a little complicated.

"One of them almost lost his entire arm. He may not be able to lift heavy objects in the future. The other one's lung was injured by a sharp claw. We managed to stop the bleeding. With the Inhuman's recovery ability, he should be able to survive, but I'm afraid he won't be able to train with us in the future."

"I understand."

Lin Beixuan nodded, his expression somewhat heavy.

Although the two seriously injured people survived, they still suffered significant impact on their bodies.

"Let them ride on the ox carts with the women and children from now on. When their injuries have healed, we will consider whether to let them return to the team later."

"Thank you for leading some people to keep watch tonight. I will also send all the ghost soldiers out for patrol."

Shen Tingmiao nodded solemnly after hearing this, then turned and left.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Lin Beixuan lowered his head and began to think.

There was no qualified doctor in their team, so the treatment methods were rather rough and crude. Although he had no shortage of drugs for treatment, having drugs and knowing how to use them were two different things. Even he was confused about this matter.

"It is necessary to have a doctor in the team, so that no one will be injured or dying in the future, and I will be unable to do anything."

"But where can I find Luozhou's current scene?" Lin Beixuan frowned and thought.

This matter seemed extremely important to him. As they continued to go deeper into the heart of Luozhou, they would only become more and more dangerous.

Although there are a few people in the team who are familiar with pharmacology, they are not doctors after all. When they encounter serious injuries, they can only do simple hemostasis and bandaging.

"I must be more cautious next time." Lin Beixuan said to himself.

During the remaining time, Lin Beixuan walked around, inquiring about the condition of the wounded like a real military general. He took out the anti-inflammatory drugs he brought from the real world and asked them to take them. Then he found an empty tent and walked in.

A lot happened today, and he faced multiple battles in a row, which resulted in his injuries never fully healing.

If it was an external injury, he would be able to recover in no time with his current recovery attribute of over hundreds, but internal injuries are difficult to heal. After all, it is not like in the game where there is an independent health bar that can be healed by just a night's sleep!
Therefore, the idea of hiring a doctor to accompany the team became more and more intense in Lin Beixuan's mind.

Suddenly, he remembered the young doctor he had met at the Lao Nong Hall in Anle County. His lameness was cured there. The doctor seemed to be from Shennong Bencao Hall...

Thinking about various things in his mind, Lin Beixuan called back the infant spirit to stay by his side and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the secular world, with the sound of his cell phone ringing in his ears.

Lin Beixuan's face changed: "Oh no, I seem to have forgotten something."
