On the coast, in a formation, Li Xiaobai slowly walked out. The nearby monks looked at him sideways. There was only one person in the teleportation formation in Nuoda. He must have a high status. No one would come to trouble him. When people come to strike up a conversation, everyone's face is full of the expression that it has nothing to do with them.
There is a huge island on the edge of this coast, with ships coming and going in an endless stream. The area near the sea is full of merchants, and various stalls are popping up one after another, making it dazzling for those who look at it.
Li Xiaobai glanced around for a while. Most of the materials sold at the stalls were the corpses of sea monsters. Most of them were lower-grade materials and were uneven. He also noticed that there were many bald men, or monks, on the island. , wearing a Buddhist monk's robe, with a pious face, chanting sutras and chanting mantras in small groups, with a uniform four-digit number of merits above his head, between three thousand and five thousand, surrounded by many monks quietly listening to the monk's chanting, concentrating on Enlightenment.
Whenever a monk has a look of relief on his face, the merit points on the monks' heads will increase by one point. They are earning merit points by saving all sentient beings in this way. The effect seems to be pretty good. They understand the sutras better than ordinary monks. The writing speed is much faster.
"It's quite interesting. No wonder Ergouzi always wants to save the world. It turns out there are such benefits."
Li Xiaobai chuckled, turned around and left. He was not interested in this kind of activity.
"This donor is very cool. Is this your first time coming to Pudu Island?"
In the center of the crowd on the roadside, a young monk in gray robes stood up and walked towards Li Xiaobai, with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze on his face.
The remaining monks stopped reciting sutras in unison, and raised their eyes slightly to look at the roadside. They just noticed that among the people passing by, this person was the only one who didn't care at all about the overwhelming sound of their sermons, and only glanced at them slightly. After taking one look at him, he was about to leave, which made several Buddhist monks unhappy.
"Pudu Island?"
Li Xiaobai was a little confused.
"It seems that this is indeed the first time for the donor to come here. No wonder. This island is called Pudu Island. It was built by a living Buddha from the Western Continent with great supernatural powers. It was ostensibly planned to be within the sphere of influence of the Eastern Continent. But in fact this is a pure land where monks are not allowed to stir up disputes. It is a bridge of friendship built by the Living Buddha between the two continents."
"The donor must have come here to go to the Western Continent, right?"
The gray-robed monk smiled.
"Yes, I do have some important matters that require me to go to the Western Continent. May I ask, Master, how to get there?"
Li Xiaobai cupped his fists and raised his hands, and asked politely.
"Master, I don't dare to accept it. Let's do this. The young monk observes that the benefactor's face is destined to my Buddhist sect. You might as well sit down and listen to the scriptures with the benefactors to calm down. Later, several of the young monk's brothers will return to the Eastern Continent and explain that the benefactor can go together. "
The monk in gray clothes said very considerately, his tone was very gentle, making people unable to refuse.
"No, I'm really in a hurry, so I won't bother the masters with their teachings."
Li Xiaobai waved his hand and pretended to leave. He was being chased by the Sword Sect at the moment. Maybe a large number of Celestial Realm monks would arrive soon. It would be better for him to leave as soon as possible.
"This benefactor is so resistant. Could it be that he despises the scriptures taught by the poor monk?"
"How about I dare you, poor monk, to recite the six-character mantra today?"
In the center of the crowd, a monk in yellow robes said softly with a smile on his face, his tone was very kind, and there was no hint of sharpness.
But Li Xiaobai knew that these monks did not want to let him go.
"Mantra?"
"Master Mingde wants to recite the six-character mantra?"
"I have been on Pudu Island for so long, but I have never heard of the Six-Character Mantra. Master Mingde is indeed a Buddhist monk. His Dharma is so profound that he can actually comprehend the Six-Character Mantra!"
"I am blessed today!"
Listening to the words of the Mingde monk, the surrounding monks were in an uproar. Not only them, but the monks who were listening to other monks on the roadside also opened their eyes involuntarily when they heard the crowd's noise, and they all came closer. , it is quite rare to hear Buddhist monks recite the six-character mantra.
There once was a semi-saint strong man who carried countless resources to the Western Continent just to listen to an abbot's six-character mantra. Unfortunately, he returned in vain. This shows how precious these six-character mantras are. Less than a great opportunity.
"Boy, you are lucky. Today, Master Mingde opened this golden mouth for your courage. This is your opportunity. Why don't you thank Master Mingde quickly?"
"Yes, you are so ignorant that you dare to attack the eminent Buddhist monk. Fortunately, the master is kind-hearted and doesn't care about you. Why don't you kneel down and thank me?"
"Let me tell you, to be respectful to the master is to be respectful to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and you will be blessed in the future!"
"Never make fun of your own future and destiny..."
Everyone in the crowd said something to each other, pointing at Li Xiaobai up and down, and their words were full of accusations.
Seeing more and more monks gathering around him, Li Xiaobai looked a little confused: "What is the six-character mantra?"
"It seems that this benefactor is not only the first time he has come to Pudu Island, but also the first time he has left the Eastern Continent today, right?"
Master Mingde smiled slightly and deliberately raised the volume a bit to ensure that more monks nearby could hear him.
"The so-called six-character mantra is the six words in Buddhism. In fact, everyone knows these six words and can recite them. However, according to the profoundness of Buddhism, the effect of each monk's recitation is not great. Similarly, the effect of the same six words recited by a Buddhist abbot and an abbot are completely different from those recited by a novice monk. Therefore, these six words of mantra are also the best way to test the profundity of Buddhist disciples' Dharma."
"It's just that people like poor monks who are ignorant and unskilled in daily practice are very ashamed. They are afraid of losing the face of the Buddha by reciting these six-character mantras, so they rarely recite them in front of others. But today, for the sake of Let the benefactor understand my Buddhist skills, and the poor monk is willing to show his shame and awaken the benefactor's Buddha heart with his own face!"
Master Mingde said with a slight smile. His words made the monks look at him. The master is the master. Not only is the Dharma profound, he is also so humble. This is the real Buddhist monk.
"How about this? Donor, would you like to hear this poor monk recite these six-character mantra?"
Master Mingde looked at Li Xiaobai and asked loudly.
brush!
The crowd all stared at Li Xiaobai, their eyes full of envy. It was this lucky guy who could actually make the master speak.
"Ahem, I'll just listen to you, Master, thank you."
Li Xiaobai's scalp was numb from being stared at. Unknowingly, at least a thousand monks gathered nearby. He also became interested to see what kind of earth-shattering methods this Buddhist monk was going to use to move ghosts and gods.
After enhancing my understanding of Buddhism, I am somewhat prepared to go to the Western Continent.
What he didn't know was that there were many resentful and sinister eyes staring at the island at this moment.
Many monks on the island who were reciting scriptures watched the monks around them leave one by one, and when they gathered around Monk Mingde, their eyes were covered with a layer of gloom.
A monk, also wearing a yellow robe, was surrounded by many monks. He could not help but frown slightly as he looked at the vast scene.
"Mingde is really a good trick. He actually told the Six-Character Mantra in a golden mouth. He set a precedent and even the poor monk's guests were attracted by him. At this moment, he had the upper hand, even if the poor monk also told the six-character mantra. It’s also very difficult for Zi Zhenyan to bring customers back.”
