Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

Western Desert.

This huge area is as large as four or even five states, but the output of such a vast land is not as much as that of the two states of Kyushu.

The reason is that more than 60% of this land is desert, with sandstorms, desertification, and quicksand emerging one after another.

Disturbing life in all major oases.

"A long, long time ago, our ancestors believed that there was a sacred mountain in the far west. It was covered with snow, with endless water all year round, luxuriant water and grass, and fertile soil. Everyone could eat there."

"So, the ancestors brought everyone to the west, following the traces of the holy mountain."

"Grandpa, grandpa, is there really a holy mountain? Then why do we only see sand now?"

"Holy mountain, the holy mountain actually... does not exist, because it exists in each of our hearts. As long as we plant a tree every day and expand the oasis, our own holy mountain will appear." The old man paused Said after a moment.

"So, go back to sleep quickly, otherwise you won't be able to plant trees if they don't grow big."

"oh!"

A bunch of little carrot heads ran back happily.

Old Shama watched the children running back with a smile on his face, then looked tremblingly in one direction, his eyes showing extreme regret, pain, fear, hatred...

"Oh, Holy Mountain...hehe...Magic Mountain...Magic Mountain..."

Old Shama went back.

Soon, the next day, everyone began to work.

They are in a city-state that occupies a small oasis - Aluye, which means stability in local discourse.

The population is not large, just a few thousand people.

Therefore, everyone needs to cultivate a small amount of land in the center, maintain water trees, pick fruits, etc., and most importantly, plant a special plant that can survive in the desert to prevent wind and sand, so as not to make the desert Take precious soil away.

I am very busy every day and will not stop until I die.

But no one thought there was anything strange about it.

Because this is how small countries in the desert survive. Protecting oases, planting plants, and expanding the living environment have become their life.

Every small country is like this.

And there is something special about Lao Shama.

Today, he was invited to the palace of King Aluye.

King Aluye was wearing expensive silk clothes from Kyushu and a golden crown on his head. He looked a bit majestic, and beside him was an old monk who looked very kind and kind.

Both parties seemed to be talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Seeing Old Shama coming, Aluye said quickly, "Master, this is the Old Shama I told you, and he is also the most experienced person here."

Although he didn't understand what happened, when he saw the bald head, Lao Shama still instinctively became vigilant in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head when facing the praise, "King, Lao Shama thanks the king for the praise."

Ci En looked at Old Shama with a smile and sang the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, hello, Old Shama."

"The poor monk is kind and kind."

Old Shama inadvertently tightened his body, "Hey, I, I am Old Shama."

Ci En used his spiritual power to quietly comfort Lao Shama. He could already tell that the person in front of him seemed to be extraordinarily wary of him, but he hid it better.

In the past three years, he has exchanged for the first three levels of the Nine Tribulations Mind Technique. After practicing, it is easy to cultivate back the mental power of his own state of mind that briefly burst out during that battle. Therefore, it is still easy to use mental power to appease others. .

Under Ci En's comfort, Lao Shama gradually became more confident and cautious.

The two communicated.

Through communication, Ci En discovered that Old Shama was originally an outsider. He appeared in the desert when he was young and was picked up by Aluye's trading team.

Later, Aluye found that the other party was very knowledgeable and experienced in finding directions in the desert, so he stayed. As he got older, the old Aluye passed away, and the new Aluye took over, and he, the old man, gradually became possessed. Different status.

There is something vaguely like a wise man in the kingdom.

Therefore, when Ci En was in need, A Luye invited her over.

While Ci En understood the other party, the other party also knew the origin and purpose of Ci En.

When he learned that Ci En was not a monk from that place, but from Kyushu, a big stone fell in his heart.

However, Ci En's purpose made his heart lift again.

"You mean, you want to find a way into the Qingtai Highlands?"

"That's right, the poor monk heard that Buddhism was prosperous there, so he came westward. He wanted to communicate with each other. If there was anything useful, he also wanted to obtain the true scriptures so that they could be spread and spread to the world."

Monks do not lie.

He didn't lie. This was indeed one of his main goals, but he didn't tell the whole story.

His main purpose was actually because of that strange punishment. He found out that its origin was Qingti, but he didn't know its specific location, so he came here just to find someone to guide him.

As for Buddhism, after the War between Heaven and Man, Buddhism was split up, and a large branch of it came to the Western Desert. In the past three years, he found that there were indeed traces of their Buddhism in these oasis countries, but they were not prosperous.

The poor material conditions, harsh natural environment, and extremely scattered oases have resulted in Buddhism being spread only in those three major oasis countries. According to them, the branches have long since moved away to this Qingtai Plateau. They are just the remnants and have not been in contact with each other for hundreds of years.

This is the purpose of mercy, one Lord at a time.

Find out if Segui is in the Qingti Plain, and see if the Buddhist branch is stationed in the Qingti Plain.

At this time, Lao Shama's eyelids twitched, as if he heard some terrifying words.

Especially when I heard the words he said to save the world, my whole body trembled and I was sweating profusely.

"Master, Qingti Plateau...can't go!!"

Aluye next to him asked curiously, "Why? I have always heard that the Qingtai Plateau is a paradise where all living beings are equal, the supreme holy land, but I think it is a bit illusory, and legend has it that only devout people can reach there, otherwise they will not survive. I was suffocated on the road, so I never looked for it. I didn’t expect you, Old Shama, to actually know this place.”

Old Shama looked at Aluye, sighed deeply, and suddenly looked back, looking nervous.

After taking a moment, he sat down and spoke slowly.

"Qingtai Plateau, where the soil is fertile, cattle and sheep are everywhere, trees are in groups, rivers are winding, the fruits there are very sweet, the mountain spring water is also very sweet, the sky there is blue and clear, there will be no disasters, and the snow there is good Bai, it's so cool, not as hot as the desert..."

The eyes of Aluye next to him almost popped out of his head.

For an oasis country, it doesn’t get much more tempting than this!

Ci En was also a little dazed after hearing this.

This place, judging from the description, is really a treasure.

However, why does it feel like something is wrong?

"The animals there are in groups and diverse. Just sow some seeds and they will grow taller next year. There is no need for special maintenance. You can just step on the soft green grass..."

As he spoke, his eyes were slightly blurred, as if he was immersed in the scene.

Ci En's eyes twitched.

He knew something was wrong.

The old Shama in front of me had obviously been there before. Although he didn't know why he came out, he shouldn't have described the person without a word!

They are all mountains, rivers, land and animals. Where is the most important person?

Unless something happened.

Thinking of old Shama's nervous and strange behavior and those words that he couldn't leave, Ci En had an ominous premonition in his heart.

But Ci En didn't mean to interrupt the other party, but waited quietly.

"..."

"...Everything is good there, but nothing belongs to us."

He said this with a sad expression.

?

"Why?"

"There are many people living there, but it's really no different from the outside. There are also people who are from above and people who are from below."

"No, it's scarier than outside."

"King, will you let all your people become slaves who work for you?"

Lao Shama suddenly looked at A Luye and asked this sentence.

Aluye frowned, "Of course not."

Slavery was abolished with the civilization of Kyushu a long time ago. Nowadays, it is only used when dealing with criminals or rebels.

etc.

What does Lao Shama mean by this sentence? !

"Haha, there, everyone is the serf of the master and the nobles."

“There’s not an inch of land there that’s redundant.”

“All the land, all the cattle and sheep, everything, belongs to God.”

"The masters worshiped the sacred gods. Each of them was loving, merciful, kind, and loved every serf equally. The serfs all liked the masters' sermons, because the masters said that all living beings are equal. We are just He was infected with the sins of the world, so he suffered and was unable to become a noble."

He spoke faster and faster, as if he had returned to a familiar state, becoming more and more enthusiastic and spitting.

"Only by listening to lectures, working hard, and dedicating everything to God can you wash away your sins and become a blessed, sin-free, noble noble. Otherwise, you can only wash away your sins by suffering in reincarnation one after another."

"So, we are grateful to the masters. The masters have really paid a lot for us!"

"The masters love us and cannot bear for us to continue to suffer, so the masters always give us opportunities, lecture us, encourage us to work hard, and select the lucky ones among us to help her or him wash up. sin."

"ah!"

"O kind masters!"

"You treat us all equally..."

He was so excited that he shed tears. He was dancing and dancing like crazy, but there was no light in his eyes.

Aluye next to him had already backed away in shock. He really couldn't believe that what Old Shama was talking about was the rumored Supreme Holy Land.

Especially the way old Shama looks now is too crazy, really too crazy...

Is this still a normal person?

Suddenly.

Aluye felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.

Ci En, who was originally sitting on the chair, had closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently recited the Buddha's name.

That pressure also radiated from him.

Suddenly.

He drank hard.

"Amitabha!!!"

Like Huang Zhong Da Lu, it shocks people's hearts and minds.

A pair of eyes are like torches, shining in the dark night.

Old Shama, who was still crying and shouting for the mercy of the guru, stopped suddenly, looked at Ci En blankly, and walked forward quickly, his lips moved, his eyes were moist, and tears fell from the wrinkles that had long dried up. mid-slip.

Plop!

Bang bang bang! !

"Woooooooo..."

He kowtowed desperately and cried desperately.

Ci En sighed softly, stretched out her skinny palm, and gently stroked his gray hair with a compassionate expression.

"Woooooo... Master... Master... Wuwu..."

"It's really, really painful."

"We, we didn't have enough to eat, and many people froze to death. My mother and father were all dead. They were beaten to death by the nobles with whips. The masters said that this was because they failed to withstand the test of God and died without authorization. , Going to hell is sinful. As children, we have to atone for our sins and become magical tools to help the masters complete the sacrifices... My sister is so brave..."

"She went. The master said that a pure girl is more suitable, so she went in my place..."

"Later, later, I, I saw her at the sacrifice ceremony."

"Bululu...Bululu...that's the sound of the drum..."

The sound it makes is not pleasant at all, not nice at all! ! "

He was laughing and crying, making vague sounds from his mouth, and you could vaguely hear that they were sentences...

Bululu... Bululu...

Bululu... Bululu...

Bululu... Bululu...

Ci En's hand stiffened slightly, and then gently patted his back, just like a mother gently comforting her baby when she was young.

"Cry, cry... After crying, it won't be painful anymore."

In that shrill cry.

There seems to be...

The Arhat lowers his head and the Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows.

King Ming was angry and the Buddha opened his eyes.

Gudu.

Aluye swallowed and stared at this scene blankly.

Not only was he shocked that the legendary supreme holy land could be such a magical cave, but he was also shocked by the sacred scene at this moment.

kindness……

True kindness…

I feel it!

Aluye couldn't help but knelt down and clasped his hands together.

…

Gently put it down, and with the sound of snoring, the bitter wrinkles finally relaxed a little at this moment.

However, the old mouth was still whispering softly from time to time, "Bululu...Bululu..."

Ci En walked out of the palace gently and saw the sun.

The long-suppressed anger finally emerged.

A spirit filled with rage appeared behind him, and that fearless spirit was now mixed with rage.

Even its body is still burning with invisible spiritual flames!

The strong pressure made Aluye, who followed him, dare not get close.

Ci En stared in the south direction.

He's not stupid.

Of course he could tell who the so-called gurus in Old Shama's mouth were!

"Sure enough, my path has never been missed."

"Buddhism, which has been overly secularized, needs to be corrected!"

"Correct, judge, correct all Buddhism in this world, judge all evil ones!"
