 Chapter 3250: Friend Lin's Grand Visit Brings Glory to Our Humble City

Little Mei gathered her courage and said softly, "The people here seem very happy. Everyone has a smile on their face, and they work very quickly."

"They are also chanting scriptures, but it's different from our village. They can chant while working, without stopping."

"In our village, when chanting scriptures, we have to sit down and face the direction of the Nation Lord to show devotion."

"Chanting scriptures takes a long time each day, so people in our village don't have as much time to work. They're too busy just farming and such every day, let alone tidying up the village."

After speaking, Little Mei looked at Lin Moyu with her big eyes, as if asking if she was correct.

Lin Moyu didn't answer, but instead asked, "Anything else?"

Little Mei thought for a moment and shook her head lightly, "No more."

Lin Moyu said, "Actually, Little Mei got most of it right. The people here are indeed very happy and work very quickly, but the real root cause isn't there."

"What I want you to see is why the people here are so happy, why they work so fast."

"When we think about problems, we need to think deeper. Sometimes it may seem more complicated, but once you get used to it, it will greatly benefit your cultivation."

"If Little Mei understands my words, then look again and try to find the root of the problem. We're not in a hurry."

Little Mei understood Lin Moyu's words and patiently began searching again.

Using her eyes to see and ears to listen, Little Mei finally discovered some clues.

Little Mei wasn't very certain, "Teacher, it seems the root of the problem is the Buddhist scriptures."

Lin Moyu gestured for her to continue.

Little Mei thought for a moment, organizing her words, "The Buddhist scriptures here have a special effect. They can keep people in a happy state, and in this state, work goes especially quickly."

Lin Moyu patted Little Mei's head, "This time you're correct. The root of the problem is indeed the Buddhist scriptures. However, the effect of the scriptures isn't just to make people happy. The scriptures can also replenish everyone's energy, so they don't get tired when working, naturally making them faster."

Little Mei said curiously, "But chanting scriptures is very tiring."

Little Mei had chanted scriptures before. Chanting scriptures was a very tiring thing, and every time she finished chanting, Little Mei just wanted to sleep well.

Not just her, many villagers had the same experience, though adults were a bit better than her.

However, no one ever found it strange or questioned it.

Lin Moyu said, "Let's go. We'll talk as we walk."

The two left the village and headed towards the nearest Buddha city.

On the way, Lin Moyu fully satisfied Little Mei's curiosity.

"The Buddhas cultivate Buddhist power. The root of Buddhist power has two sources. One is incense and devotional power, which comes from the devotees' sincerity."

"You get tired when chanting scriptures because when you chant sincerely, your own devotional power is offered to the Buddha, so you become mentally fatigued."

"But the scriptures here, while also absorbing incense and devotional power, don't just absorb. They also give back."

"As a result, people naturally don't feel tired. As long as they keep chanting the scriptures, they'll have inexhaustible energy. They can even reduce sleep time by half."

After Lin Moyu's explanation, Little Mei finally understood the root source of Buddhist power.

But she had a new question, "But doesn't that mean the Nation Lord here loses out?"

Lin Moyu laughed heartily, "Not at all. Incense and devotional power also have levels. The more sincere, the purer the offered incense and devotional power. For example, if each person chanting in your village contributes 1 unit of incense and devotional power, then people chanting here contribute 5 or even 10 units."

"And Big Belly Ancient Buddha only needs to return half of it, which is enough for ordinary people to not feel tired."

"Moreover, people here are constantly chanting, non-stop except for sleeping and eating. The total amount of incense and devotional power contributed daily far exceeds that of Dragon Subduing Ancient Buddha."

Little Mei said "Oh" and nodded, "I understand now."

Lin Moyu said, "The root of Buddhist power has two sources. Incense and devotional power is one, and the other is origin power."

"Origin power comes from heaven and earth, from origin spirit veins..."

As they walked and talked, Lin Moyu carefully explained the path of cultivation to Little Mei, and she understood the source of power.

At the same time, Lin Moyu would occasionally ask Little Mei some questions, each time requiring her to find the root cause of the problem rather than answering superficially.

Gradually, Little Mei began to get used to it. Her way of looking at the world changed.

Little Mei began to habitually ponder and explore the root of problems, though her experience was limited and she couldn't see too deeply into many things, needing Lin Moyu to explain bit by bit and guide her.

However, Lin Moyu knew that once the habit was formed, things would be different when Little Mei received her past life memories.

Everyone here had a smile on their face, walking and chanting scriptures.

They chanted scriptures like singing, with a fast and pleasant melody.

Sometimes they would also chat and talk, stopping their chanting then, and they could stop at any time without rules.

The word "rules" seemed to have been diluted in Big Belly Buddha Nation.

Little Mei couldn't help but sigh, "The people here are truly happy."

Lin Moyu said, "Big Belly Ancient Buddha is a very special one among the many Ancient Buddhas of the Buddhist clan. It's said he has no quarrel with the world, always wears a smile, and is kind to everyone."

Little Mei's eyes were full of admiration, "Teacher, how do you know so much?"

Lin Moyu said, "You'll know all this in the future too, maybe even more than I know."

Little Mei shook her head, "How could Little Mei compare to teacher?"

...

They passed through one Buddha city after another. People in Big Belly Buddha Nation also go on pilgrimages, but they don't prostrate themselves every three steps or nine steps.

Finally, they came to the main city of Big Belly Buddha Nation.

The main city of Big Belly Buddha Nation was situated on a plain, without any fancy decorations. It looked no different from ordinary Buddha cities, except that it was large enough.

In the center of the main city stood a huge Buddha hall.

Above the Buddha hall, a gigantic golden Buddha statue was projected.

True to his name, Big Belly Ancient Buddha had a huge belly.

His round face had a big mouth, wearing a kind smile that made people feel friendly at first glance.

Lin Moyu looked from afar and smiled faintly, "That fellow came back after all."

Previously in the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, Big Belly Ancient Buddha was also there.

However, that guy was very cunning. When the fighting started, he hid far away and didn't really participate in the battle.

Moreover, he was powerful. Big Belly Ancient Buddha was an eight-wheel Ancient Buddha, and according to Lin Moyu's observation, he was only half a step away from becoming a nine-wheel Ancient Buddha.

So in the great battle, he could be said to have emerged almost unscathed.

The moment Lin Moyu stepped into the main city, he felt someone notice him.

The golden Buddha statue in mid-air slowly opened its eyes and looked towards Lin Moyu.

In an instant, brilliant golden light shot straight into the sky, endless golden clouds appeared in the sky, and ten thousand rays of Buddhist light dyed the surrounding ten thousand li into a golden world.

Within ten thousand li, all villages and Buddha cities were enveloped in golden light.

In an instant, countless people knelt on the ground, bowing their heads.

"The Buddha Patriarch is manifesting! The Buddha Patriarch is manifesting!"

The golden Buddha statue of Big Belly Ancient Buddha slowly opened its mouth, "Friend Lin's grand visit brings glory to our humble city!"
