Chapter 182: Slap in the face(1/2)
Although Neng Ren is talented and intelligent, he has not been in the monastery for a long time and has no basic knowledge of many things in spiritual practice, so Fahai needs to think carefully about the tutorials.
Five hundred years ago, Jinshan Temple was undoubtedly a holy place for Buddhism. Just look at the holding Zen staff, the dragon elephant cassock, the Buddhist beads that break the illusion, and the Purple Gold Bowl and Leifeng Pagoda that were handed down by the Buddha. They are all top-notch magical artifacts in the world.
, It can be seen from this that Jinshan Temple was so tall back then, and it also had a quite systematic teaching method for its disciples.
Experienced masters will decide the direction of future practice based on the characteristics of their disciples. Everyone who can endure this is as his name suggests, and his patience is very good. He is the best candidate for practicing magic techniques such as the Vajra Indestructibility. Fahai is based on the teachings of Zen Master Huineng.
From memory, I picked out a technique of the Fudo Myoyo Dharma to explain to Nōnin.
When Fahai was teaching the Dharma, he was solemn and full of witty words and thought-provoking. If he could bear to listen, he felt a ray of heat gradually starting to wind up in his Dantian. He called out "Master" with surprise on his face, but Fahai said:
He shook his head slightly to signal not to speak and to close his eyes.
Buddhism relies on lectures to pass down the exercises, while Taoism uses the reflection of the soul. The former is more laborious than the latter, and everyone has different qualifications and understandings, and the depth of understanding they can understand is also different. In the past, it was not possible to create a "clear mirror"
'The eminent monk in this poem is a representative figure with excellent understanding.
Fahai recited Fudo Myoyo's Mahayana Dharma back and forth three times. Only when he could bear it and entered the state of sitting for a photo, Fahai stopped teaching and concentrated on carving the thousand-year-old locust tree in his hand.
"Master, I want to return to secular life."
Xiao An's abrupt words directly attracted Fa Hai's attention. He saw this boy flipping and grilling the big fish in his hands. The one Fa Hai ate just now was grilled by him.
"Do you want to learn to sword?"
Fahai knew that Xiao An had always had little interest in Buddhist things. If it weren't for him, he would never have entered Jinshan Temple to become a monk, so he was not surprised by his idea. However, his idea was wrong, because Xiao An returned to secular life.
He wanted to learn swordsmanship, but the fact that Fa Hai entered the underground palace alone today had a bit of a shock on him. He didn't want to become a drag on Fa Hai.
If the master and the servant were still living in the realm of mortals as before, things like daily necessities, daily necessities, and daily necessities would naturally be a required course for Xiao An. But now that they are in the spiritual world, what Xiao An needs to master is not just such trivial matters as daily necessities.
So when Xiao An went to look for locust trees, he still stubbornly bought it despite knowing that the merchant was deliberately bragging about the goods.
He wanted to become stronger, both for himself and for the young master. He didn't want to watch Lin Hai walk further and further away until he couldn't even see his back.
Please, I am the young master's personal book boy. What would it be like to be left behind by him?
Fa Hai didn't know what Xiao An was thinking in his complicated inner world, and Xiao An just smiled at Fa Hai's question and didn't answer.
"These four statues of the Heavenly Kings contain the cultivation methods of the Immortal Sword Sutra. I have only comprehended 20% of them today. I will teach you all the key points in a few days when I understand them thoroughly."
Because of the suppression of Mahayana Buddhism, the sword embryo in Fahai's Dantian was wrapped and covered by countless lotus roots. Even if he learned the Sword Sutra, he would not be able to use it. He could only place his hope on Xiao An.
"Um!"
When Xiao An heard that there was a new sword scripture to learn, he immediately nodded sharply with his eyes shining.
........
........
The enlightenment practice in Zhangjiacun lasted for nine days. On the day when Fahai realized the Zhenjiang King's version of the Immortal Killing Sword Formation, there were no strange sights in the entire Zhangjiacun area. If anything, only Xiaoan had a good appetite.
I ate two extra fish for breakfast.
"Pack your things and we're ready to leave."
Fahai stood up and slowly walked to the middle of the four statues of the heavenly kings with different postures and ferocious faces.
Xiao An was carrying a sword box and Neng Ren stood aside and watched silently. Fahai, who was dressed in white, gently raised his right hand and slowly clenched it into a fist. The statues of the Heavenly King standing around him immediately seemed to be covered by an invisible force.
Crush it with big hands and explode into countless fine stone powders. At the same time, the uncontrollable laughter from Fahai's mouth also spreads.
"Ha ha ha ha....."
"Hahaha...ahem..."
As soon as he started laughing heartily, he started coughing due to inhaling too much stone powder. When Fa Hai walked out of the exploded stone powder, his moon-white monk robe had turned gray.
"Uncle An, why did Master have to stand in the middle and blow them up?"
Of course, he was pretending to be 13, saying that he had achieved great feats and was invincible in the world, but Xiao An, who knew Fahai's temperament well, did not dare to say this to his face.
Xiao An glanced sideways at this little guy who had been chewing hard dry food for nine days. He always felt that this guy had bad intentions and always wanted to dig holes for himself to jump into. But Xiao An soon felt relieved because he could bear this guy running over in a bumpy manner.
Ask Fahai, who is all gray and disgraced, if this is not sinister, this is really stupid.
You're done, the young master is a petty person...
Xiao An curled his lips calmly,
As expected, after Fahai heard this question, he affectionately hugged Neng Ren's shoulders and talked for a long time. He didn't stop until their clothes became dusty.
What a childish ghost....
The three of them started on the road, but they soon realized a serious problem: they had no money.
To be honest, this is the first time that Fahai has felt the difficulty of having no money since he joined this world. It is still early now, so Fahai plans to go to Yangzhou City to see if there is any "business" of slaying demons.
Although it is said that ordinary monks have the idea of begging for alms with others, Fa Hai, who was born in a wealthy family, is not very accepting of this setting. Compared with it, it is more suitable for him to take on the business of some people who are harassed by weird people. These days, Jiutian has nothing to worry about.
The practice of the land has completely depleted the demons that Fa Hai used to resist the Buddha's transformation. If it is not replenished in two days, he will be assimilated by the Buddha sooner or later and become a fasting monk of Amitabha.
Knowing that Fa Hai was going to the city to slay demons, he could not bear to look excited and expectant. He had practiced hard in the past nine days and had a certain foundation. It was the time to feel confident and confident.
In fact, if they want to slay demons and earn demon insights, many villages and towns along the road can meet Fahai's needs. But now they not only want to slay demons, but also have to earn travel expenses and food back, and most of the villagers don't have it.
What's so hard about money? It's because there are more rich people in the city.
With a hundred thousand guan tied around his waist, he rode a crane down to Yangzhou.
Yangzhou has been a prosperous area since ancient times. When Fahai entered the city, he suddenly thought of the two sisters Qingfeng and Yuechi whom he had not seen for a long time. He did not know what they would think when they saw their handsome master in the past turned into such a look.
You won't be able to recognize it.
Just thinking about such thoughts in his mind, Fa Hai felt a faint pain in the white hair between his eyebrows. This is the majesty of Buddhist precepts. Some things can be done by oneself, but some are an insurmountable gap.
The most tolerable idea is to honestly find a family that is infested by monsters to help, but Fahai doesn't think so. As a relatively wealthy city in China, Yangzhou's protection against monsters is naturally far better than where they are.
of Youzhou.
Slaying demons and demons is the style of a master knight, so naturally you have to carry it. How can it be delivered to your door automatically, like a salesman?!
Because the demon spirit has the function of protecting Fahai's layman's consciousness, killing demons and eliminating demons will definitely become Fahai's main agenda in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to create an image of a worldly master for himself, so that not only will he not be needed in the future
If you go from house to house looking for monsters, once you have a good reputation, you won't have to worry about people coming to take action. Otherwise, how much trouble would it be to go out and look for them every day?
So the three of them found an intersection with the most traffic and squatted together. Of course, they were not ordinary squatters. They had inherited the Buddhist teachings of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng Zen Master. Fahai can now be regarded as a generation of eminent monks with profound magical powers.
A pair of magical eyes is enough to see 90% of the monsters in the world, so you only need to squat here to check whether there are any weird auras in the people passing by, and then you can go up and get a job.
But squatting down, Fa Hai had the illusion that he was a migrant worker in his previous life looking for work.
"Master, I feel like the price will be lower if we do this. Will others treat us as beggars?"
The outspoken Neng Ren said what was on his mind directly. Fahai smiled nonchalantly at the young and ignorant Neng Ren:
"How is it possible? Being a teacher is..."
A crisp sound of clanking interrupted Fahai's words. Xiao An happily stepped forward to pick up the few coins given by the kind person and said to Fahai:
"Master, how about we buy another bowl?"
".....You go buy a watch."
Before Xiao An could ask what the expression was, Fahai's gloomy eyes suddenly changed, because he saw a pale young man with a demonic aura, walking on the street in a crowd.
"Business is coming, so take care of yourself!"
Fahai whispered, stepped forward quickly, and walked directly in front of the young man.
"The donor is polite!"
Suddenly a great monk appeared in front of him, and the young man was also startled. Fortunately, Fa Hai was very good at showing off his appearance. The young man calmed himself down and replied:
"Master is polite."
Hearing the young man's reply, Fa Hai was already very sure about this money-making idea, because a person's words and deeds can tell what kind of person he is. A young man like this is obviously frightened by himself.
He jumped, but still asked questions with his face as usual, which shows that this person has a good upbringing and self-cultivation. This kind of person is reasonable and rational. He is naturally not a fat sheep for charlatans, but for someone like Fahai
Those with real talent are the best candidates to earn inspiration and money.
"I see that the donor has a handsome appearance, but there is a lingering evil spirit lingering between his eyebrows. I wonder if he has encountered anything weird recently?"
As soon as Fa Hai finished speaking, the servants following the young man all around had strange expressions on their faces. However, the young man himself did not change his expression. He did not immediately answer Fa Hai's question, but said lightly:
"Looking at the accent, the master should not be from Yangzhou. I wonder where he comes from?"
Fahai smiled slightly and said, "Come from the same place."
"Where do you want to go?"
"Go, go somewhere."
The young man nodded and uttered two words to the people around him: "Beat him."
???
Wait, this is different from what is written in the novel!
Fahai changed his color slightly. He was naturally not afraid of the servants around the young man, but the continuous slaps in his face in just a few breaths made him a little bit intolerable. He snorted heavily and walked away directly:
"Ordinary people with naked eyes do not know that the true Buddha is near!"
