Maitreya put away the Buddha Bone Sarira in his hand and followed Qingxuan into the room.
Actually, at this moment, he was still a little confused.
For example, why would the other party give him so many Buddha bone relics when they met?
To bribe him?
This was very possible.
Of course, he was also very tempted.
He even thought that if the abbot gave him some advice later, he should be a little reserved and agree?
After all, it was too short to take advantage of others.
With this thought in mind, Maitreya walked in.
The room was simple but spacious.
After Qingxuan entered, he pointed to a seat not far away.
"Sit."
Maitreya sat down.
The two of them faced each other.
At this moment, Qingxuan was sizing up Maitreya, and Maitreya was also sizing up Qingxuan.
To be honest, he was extremely curious about Qingxuan.
Other than his extraordinary appearance, he did not think that this was the abbot at first. He thought that this was just an ordinary monk.
However, after he took out so many Buddha bone relics, he believed it.
He couldn't help but believe it.
The main thing was that this thing was too fragrant, so he had no choice but to believe it.
At this moment, after calming down and looking around, Maitreya discovered many things.
Firstly, it was temperament.
Although the term 'temperament' was very mysterious, anyone with a little cultivation could cultivate a temperament.
Most Buddhist disciples had it.
However, their temperaments were very similar.
Or rather, it was very similar to a person, Buddha Tathagata!
Even Maitreya himself had the shadow of Tathagata in terms of temperament.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.
Now, every disciple of the Buddhist Sect was more or less influenced by Rulai.
Even the monks in the Buddhist temple outside were the same.
But Qingxuan was different.
His was too clean.
Maitreya had never seen a Buddhist disciple who was completely unaffected by Rulai.
Even the Golden Cicada Master, who was sent into reincarnation by Rulai, had Rulai's shadow.
But this person in front of him…
What was going on?
Maitreya narrowed his eyes with some doubt.
Qingxuan did not notice Maitreya's gaze at this moment. He knew that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.
However, he didn't delve into it and didn't look at it carefully.
Ever since he advanced in Buddhism, Qingxuan could directly see whether a person had malicious intentions.
It was obvious that although there was something wrong with this monk, at least he didn't have any ill intentions.
In that case, let him be.
After all, everyone had their own secrets. There was no need to delve into them.
At this moment, Qingxuan looked at him and said slowly,"
"You have some secrets."
Maitreya was stunned.
"But it's okay. Everyone has secrets. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask.”
"However, there are some rules that you should understand.”
Maitreya looked at Qingxuan, waiting for him to continue.
Qingxuan thought about it and asked,"
"Where do you think Buddha is?"
Maitreya was stunned again.
Was there a need to ask?
The Buddha was on the Spirit Mountain. This was something that all Buddhist disciples knew!
This abbot was really strange. Why was he asking such a strange question?
Looking at Maitreya's reaction, Qingxuan naturally guessed what he was thinking.
Then, he said,
"You think Buddha is someone, right?”
Maitreya nodded.
Qingxuan smiled." Actually, you're right. Buddha is indeed someone, but not the one you think."”
He raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window.
"The people who cultivate Buddhism in the world are all praying when they chant Buddha. They all entrust their hearts to the Buddhist Dharma, or rather, they entrust their hearts to a certain person. He kept repeating, Buddha bless, Buddha bless!”
"But will Buddha really bless them?”
The moment Maitreya opened his mouth, Qingxuan shook his head." Buddha won't.”
Maitreya lowered his eyes.
Indeed not.
"But if they knew that the Buddha would not really bless them, would they still cultivate Buddhism?”
This question stumped Maitreya.
After pondering for a moment, Maitreya's face suddenly turned pale.
This was because he realized that if the people who cultivated Buddhism in this world really realized that even if they chanted the Buddha piously, they would not receive the blessing of the Buddha, most of them would probably give up on Buddhism and the Buddha.
When he thought of this, his expression turned ugly.
"It seems that you have already given the answer in your heart.”Qingxuan said,"
"That's true. Since Buddha can't protect them, why should they cultivate Buddhism?”
"Why do you want to cultivate Buddhism?" Maitreya muttered and repeated the words.
"Do you think so too?" Qingxuan smiled.
These words caused Maitreya's body to tremble.
"It seems that your heart towards Buddha is not firm enough.”
Qingxuan said slowly.
"Why should we cultivate Buddhism? Was it just to beg for someone's blessing?”
"Is the Buddha really there like you think? Was the Buddha really on Spirited Mountain? Or rather…"
At this moment, Qingxuan looked at Maitreya.
Looking at Qingxuan's gaze, Maitreya couldn't help but say,"
Or rather, was the person on the spiritual mountain the real Buddha?
When he thought of this, Maitreya's face instantly turned pale.
Cold sweat broke out on his back.
Just now, in just an instant, he actually questioned the Buddhist Dharma that he had been studying all this time.
Moreover, even under such circumstances, that doubt could not be dispelled.
He kept rummaging through his mind, searching for the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha's speech that he had learned before.
Even... The words of a saint.
However…
These words only echoed in his mind, but he still could not find the answer.
In the end, he was lost in thought.
"Where do you think Buddha is now?”
"Buddha…"
Maitreya muttered to himself.
However, he could not find the answer.
Qingxuan shook his head and chuckled. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and gently tapped his chest. He said slowly,
"The Buddha is not there. The Buddha is here. What you see in your heart is the Buddha.”
"What I see in my heart…It's Buddha..." Maitreya murmured.
At this moment, it was like a ray of dawn, cutting through all the darkness.
The light gradually brightened, and his eyes gradually became clearer.
When it was completely clear, Maitreya's eyes saw Qingxuan's face.
And the smile on his face.
His body trembled as he muttered a word.
The word was:
Buddha!
