I told the old monk Mengchan that this evil organization is very powerful, and even Buddhist sects may not be able to compete with it.
Although I don’t have a deep understanding of the Church of Evil God, my intuition tells me that this mysterious and evil organization must be very powerful and terrifying.
Putting aside everything else, their method of absorbing innate Qi is something that no other sect can do.
Also, I say this for a motivational purpose.
"How is that possible?" Old Monk Mengchan obviously didn't believe what I said. "Although we are in the Age of Ending Dharma, and the Buddhist sect is not as prosperous as it was back then, it is still a behemoth in China. Any evil sect has to keep its tail between its legs. Dare to confront our decent sect, what kind of evil sect are you talking about, and we Buddhism can't suppress it? If I hadn't seen that you are also a Buddhist, I would have thought you were talking nonsense."
Seeing that the goal of motivating the generals had been achieved, I thought for a moment and said, "Don't believe it, I came into contact with this evil organization three years ago, and..."
Immediately afterwards, I explained everything I learned about the Church of the Evil God in detail, from three years ago to the recent hotel haunting incident, as well as the demon found in Xiaojiacun killing the villagers.
Of course, I ignored the encounter with the ghost old lady. She was a big secret that I accidentally released. I must not let him know, otherwise the Xiao family will know the consequences if the secret is leaked.
When the old monk Mengchan listened to my narration, he didn't take it seriously at first. But when he learned that the demon could absorb the innate energy from the soul, he lost his temper and exclaimed, "My friend, this is true. ? That Evil God Church actually has the means to absorb innate energy, how is this possible?"
"I don't need to lie to you about such a big thing, and I feel that they must be brewing a shocking conspiracy, which may pose a certain threat to China and even the whole world." I said solemnly.
"How could this happen? The Evil God Church? What kind of organization is it? This is the first time I have heard of it." Old Monk Mengchan's eyelids were twitching. "And it can also absorb the innate energy. This, that is the energy of the universe. The origin, if it comes from nature, what method did they use to do it?"
"No matter what method is used, this matter is too serious." I took a deep breath and said gloomily: "The energy and magical effects of innate Qi are too great. If they are used to do bad things..."
I didn’t say the next words. Although I don’t know the purpose of the Evil God Church’s collection of innate energy, it certainly won’t be for good deeds.
"Absorbing the innate energy, even Bodhidharma, the ancestor of our Zen sect, couldn't do it." Old monk Mengchan frowned and looked at me, "This matter is too important. I have to go back and talk to my brothers immediately. Let’s discuss this matter, and after the abbot comes out of seclusion, if necessary, let him inform all the Buddhist sects in China that this evil church must be found out and see what they are going to do!”
Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. If a Buddhist sect intervened in this matter, it would definitely be much easier to handle. It would probably be possible to find out the details of the evil sect and even destroy it.
"Little friend, I'm leaving first." After saying this, the old monk Mengchan turned around and immediately looked back at me suspiciously, "By the way, little friend, I wonder where you came from? Have you converted to a Buddhist sect?"
Faced with Meng Chan's question, I deliberately smiled awkwardly and said: "My master is just a Buddhist monk. He has no family or sect. He has already ascended to heaven. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. I don't want to join any sect."
"Oh." Old Monk Mengchan's expression darkened, "So that's it, but your master should be an outstanding person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to teach such an outstanding disciple like you. My friend, I'll leave now. You have time. Come to Zen Temple as a guest."
"That's what I mean, Master Mengchan, let me send you... By the way." A question suddenly occurred to me, "Master Mengchan, what is the current situation of Zen Sect?"
"Hey." Meng Chan stopped and sighed deeply: "In the Age of Dharma Ending, demons are rampant, the number of practitioners has decreased significantly, and there are fewer and fewer people who believe in Buddhism. Some people even slander Buddhism and the Dharma. These people who live in the Five Turbidities Living beings in this evil world cannot escape from reincarnation, which is so pitiful..."
When I heard this, I also sighed in my heart. Although he did not directly talk about the situation of Zen Buddhism, I could hear the helplessness and sadness in his words. It must have declined much compared with the Dharma era.
The heyday of Buddhism is called the Dharma Era, which is the era when Sakyamuni taught the Dharma.
At that time, there were countless practitioners and people who embraced Buddhism, and countless people were enlightened.
After hearing, thinking, and cultivating, most of these people's souls have escaped reincarnation, achieved the status of Arhat and Bodhisattva, and obtained the body of great freedom.
During the Dharma Era, Buddhism has not been destroyed and is well preserved, so people can have the opportunity to understand and practice Buddhism.
It can also be said that the era when the Buddha led everyone to practice is called the Dharma Era.
But as time went by, after the Buddha and the great eminent monks of the contemporary era became enthroned, they entered the age of image law a thousand years later.
Due to the absence of the Buddha, sentient beings have no chance to hear the Buddha's teachings. They can only understand the Dharma in the temple, while burning incense and worshiping the Buddha.
People in the Dharma Age already had a skeptical attitude toward Buddhism. Because there were no saints to teach them, they had no correct faith in their hearts.
However, at the end of that year, although Buddhism was in some decline and the number of practitioners decreased, some eminent monks and great virtues would still emerge to teach the Dharma to all living beings and save all sentient beings.
However, in the Dharma-ending Age of the last thousand years, which is our era, it is difficult for people to have righteous thoughts towards Buddhism, and they even think that Buddhism is just a simple belief and legend.
People do not believe in cause and effect, do not believe in reincarnation, and do not even believe in the existence of Buddha in the world. Most people even sneer at those who burn incense and worship Buddha, or regard practitioners as magic sticks, let alone practice.
Even if some people want to practice spiritual practice, they will lose confidence and lose hope because they do not have the guidance of a famous teacher. In the end, the seeds of good thoughts in their hearts will be swallowed up by demons.
This is the saddest era when Buddhism is empty and struggling. People are controlled by various desires such as greed, ignorance, and anger, and become puppets of desires.
Even if some people believe in Buddhism, they are still seeking wealth and profit to satisfy their greed.
Moreover, once you fail to get what you want, it will slander Buddhism, which is pitiful and sad.
There are even some arrogant and self-righteous anti-feudal and superstitious anchors who, in order to gain eyeballs and traffic, can even do things like smash Buddha statues, and the mob still applauds.
It is really sad and talkative. This is a big dye vat in the evil world of five turbidities. It will be difficult for people to have a chance of enlightenment. Everyone is suffering in the six paths of reincarnation, endlessly reincarnating, and there will never be a chance to make a breakthrough.
"Hey." I sighed deeply, feeling great sadness.
While I was sending Master Mengchan to the door, I mentioned the possibility of opening the barriers between the hungry ghost realm and the human realm.
After all, the product of the devil comes from the realm of hungry ghosts, but I feel that the barrier has not been completely opened yet.
But once that day comes and all the evil ghosts from the hungry ghost realm appear in the human realm, it will be the end of the world.
When the old monk Mengchan heard this, his expression became even more serious, and he said that he would have to hold a meeting to discuss the matter when he went back.
At this time, Xiao Yuanzhou's family all came out to escort him.
Before getting on Xiao Qilei's car, the old monk Meng Chan looked back at me and said, "My friend, although you and I meet by chance, I can sense your right knowledge and views. Maybe you can carry forward the Dharma and become the Buddha who saves the suffering in the end of the Dharma era." Also a possibility."
The old monk smiled kindly at me and got into the car. At this moment, I may have hallucinated, but I vaguely saw a white light flashing behind his head.
But his extremely high evaluation of me made me dumbfounded. Although the ultimate goal of me coming down from the heaven and human realm to practice is to achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha, it is still unknown whether I can reach that point.
However, the words of the old monk Mengchan made Xiao Yuanzhou and Luo Yuhuan next to me look at me differently, as if they were looking at a gem.
"Haha." Xiao Yuanzhou looked at me kindly and smiled: "Master Mengchan thinks highly of you. Young man, I think highly of you too."
"Grandpa Xiao, thank you for your praise." I said politely.
"Well, it's very good." Xiao Yuanzhou looked at me appreciatively, "Even some middle-aged people tend to be embarrassed in front of me. Young man, you can neither be humble nor overbearing, and speak generously, which really impresses me."
In fact, I am calm on the outside, but I am not calm on the inside. When facing this old man, I always feel like facing the oppression of a mountain.
I don't know his true identity yet, otherwise he might not be so calm and composed.
Luo Yuhuan also praised me and looked at me with very gentle eyes, which made me feel embarrassed.
