”I know him, of course I know him!” Buddha's real name is Xiao Yongzhan, and he is from the Da Xia Empire, which is right outside of the Sacred Beast Mountain Range! ” The old elder smiled kindly and nodded towards Xiao Fan.
”This is the first time I've met someone outside who knows my father!” Xiao Fan said excitedly.
”Young High Lord, since you have come, this old monk has something to discuss with you! This old monk has been waiting for these words for more than two hundred years. ” The Old Village Chief stared at Xiao Fan and spoke in a serious tone.
However, there were many things that could not be revealed to a third person. It was the same even for those close to him. It would be bad if there were too many people who knew about it.
”Xin Er, Qiu Er, the two of you stay here, I will talk to the old elder in private!” Xiao Fan understood the Old Village Chief's intentions and said to Xin Er and Qiu Er.
But Xiao Fan just rolled his eyes at her, and did not allow her to follow.
He then followed the old elder towards a small hill on the right.
Seeing the two of them being so mysterious, Qiu Er felt extremely uncomfortable, and wanted to know what they were talking about.
However, the Old Village Chief and Xiao Fan had already signalled to them not to know, even if Qiu Er wanted to go, he was stopped by Xin Er.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Fan followed the old village chief into a cave.
This cave was filled with the factors of Buddhism. The walls were filled with Buddha statues, statues and stories related to Buddhism.
Among them, there was a mural that made Xiao Fan think deeply.
He had also occasionally heard of this mural from his father when he was introducing the stories of buddhism.
This mural depicted the legendary supreme Buddha of the Buddhist Sangha who, in order to save a pigeon from being eaten by a hungry eagle, had been willing to cut off its own flesh and feed it to the eagle.
This was a very thought-provoking matter. How great the heart and merciful heart of a Buddha must be to perform a act of cutting flesh.
Just as the Buddhist Sangha had said, there was a way for me to not enter hell, and who entered hell's fearless will.
In the current world, the strong preyed on the weak. The strong pooled together their noble identity and monstrous power, doing whatever they wanted. They killed as they pleased, treating human life as grass.
The weak were bullied and couldn't help themselves. Sometimes, their own survival depended on the face of the strong, and if they weren't careful, they would cause disaster and their bodies would be destroyed. This was an extremely unfair world.
”Buddha cut meat and fed it to the falcons. This sort of magnanimity is far greater than anything anyone could ever imagine!” Xiao Fan stared at the frescoes and sighed, ”But this kind of deed cannot be completely done!”
Humans all have their own selfish desires. Buddha giving up the flesh and blood in his body was equivalent to giving up the strongest desires in his spiritual world. Thus, he owned an even larger world.
How many people in this world could possess such a fearless will? It was something unrealistic.
In this world, the survival of the strong was based on martial prowess. Without powerful strength to guarantee one's survival, those actions were foolish. They would follow the same pattern and only seek their own destruction.
”Haha, Young High Lord seems to be extremely interested in this mural!” The Old Village Chief saw that Xiao Fan stopped in front of the frescoes and carefully observed and thought about it.
”Hm!” In truth, over two hundred years ago, this old monk had been following Buddha for cultivation since he arrived at this place. Buddha once told me that after two hundred years, his youngest disciple might come to this place and ask me to wait here! ” The Old Village Chief looked at Xiao Fan and said.
