Weishan, Tanzhou, the dilapidated Tongqing Temple.

"Old monk, are you not practicing meditation today?"

Standing next to the mountain forest waterfall not far from Tongqing Temple, Pei Wende looked at Zen Master Lingyou who was rarely walked out of the Zen Room with surprise.

Both are dilapidated temples, Tongqing Temple is only a little better than the original Mulian Temple.

Although theoretically speaking, most of Weishan can be regarded as the category of Tongqing Temple.

But in fact, Tongqing Temple’s real area is actually very small.

The main structure of the entire temple is only a main hall, a library, and a few wooden houses in the same room.

Even daily water for daily use must be carried by the mountain waterfall hundreds of meters away from Tongqing Temple.

In the past, Pei Wende's morning class was to fill the broken tank of Tongqing Temple with water to meet the daily needs of the master and apprentice.

Of course, as a standard modern person, Pei Wende is naturally unwilling to be such a coolie.

He once proposed several times to find a way to dig a canal and directly introduce the streams from the mountains into the temple.

To this end, Pei Wende made various plans and designs early, and even planned to ask Gu Changfeng to help create an advanced set of water conservancy equipment.

This is not a great thing for Pei Wende, who has the wisdom of later generations.

Wind wheels, keel water wheels, wooden canal irrigation, pressure water pump system...

Even if I haven’t eaten pork, have I never seen a pig run away?

If it weren't for the limitations of the materials and manpower of this era, Pei Wende would be completely confident to create a simple tap water system.

After all, what Pei Wende wants to plan is not the entire city's water supply system, and he can still create a water conservancy system of Tongqing Temple.

However, Zen Master Lingyou did not differ from Pei Wende's approach, and he also called it a training of his mind and endurance.

Pei Wende was not sure whether Zen Master Lingyou’s words were true or false, but he did greatly train his will and body in the process.

Otherwise, you will just cross the body before you travel.

Not to mention fighting ghosts, I am very tired after climbing mountains and running.

"Aren't you angry with your senior brother? So I'll come out today to get some breath."

Upon hearing this, Pei Wende immediately remembered Huiji who was stubborn and followed him up the mountain.

As Huiji said, when he first met Zen Master Lingyou, he prostrated himself without hesitation and performed the ceremony of kneeling down from his master and disciple.

Zen Master Lingyou also accepted Huiji's kneeling bowing with great calmness as if he had expected it.

It was also at that time that Pei Wende realized that although his master was practicing in Weishan, his incarnation did not disappear in his early years.

"Senior brother, why are you angry?"

When he heard Pei Wende's question, Zen Master Lingyou, who was skinny but energetic, immediately glared at him.

"You're still embarrassed to ask?"

"If you hadn't instilled some messy thoughts in him, would he want to do such an outrageous thing?"

"Anyway, none of you brothers can save me any worries. Sooner or later, one day I will cause me a huge disaster!"

He did not say directly what Huiji was doing. When Zen Master Lingyou said this, he suddenly changed his mind and shifted the topic to Pei Wende.

"How is the evil energy in your body? Are there any abnormal movements today?"

Seeing this, although he didn't know what happened, Pei Wende was still very sensible and did not struggle too much on this issue. Instead, he continued to talk as Zen Master Lingyou said.

"It's much better. I feel like I can do formal practice today!"

He did not hide the excitement and expectation in his tone, because this was Pei Wende's biggest gain in this period of time.

After Pei Wende brought Huiji up the mountain, Zen Master Lingyou finally confessed his identity as a practitioner and promised to teach him how to practice.

But the premise is that Pei Wende must first clear away the remaining evil spirits of the earth veins in his body.

Those evil spirits of the earth veins appeared in Pei Wende's body in the "Mulian Temple Incident". Huiji's previous practices were just to suppress it rather than eliminate it.

So for a long time before today, Pei Wende was training his body and mind near the waterfall in the back mountain.

"Is that so? Come and let me see."

Giving Pei Wende no room for resistance, Zen Master Lingyou lifted up his shirt, revealing the extremely high separation of blocky muscles and abdominal muscles.

Pei Wende's muscles are more refined and stronger than ordinary trainers.

Especially those muscles with clear edges and blocky distribution are rare features of this era.

However, on the surface of these muscles, some subtle scars that look like the fading of the cuticle are clearly visible.

Inadvertently, it looked as if Pei Wende's body had layers of fine scales, and was then forcibly stripped off one by one.

This is true. After being penetrated by the evil energy of the earth's veins, Pei Wende's body showed characteristics of scale-type organisms due to abnormal changes.

If Huiji had not used the demon-subduing seal to help him enter into meditation in time, Pei Wende would have probably become a half-demon and half-human monster now.

During this period, Pei Wende was not only cultivating his mind and nature by the waterfall, but also trying to find ways to re-enter the mysterious "entering meditation" state.

However, although entering into meditation is the first step toward the path of cultivation, Pei Wende was unable to enter the mysterious state of the last time due to the interference of evil spirits.

In other words, that state of entering into samadhi is the "state of entering into samadhi" that belongs to wisdom.

However, Huiji at that time allowed Pei Wende to briefly experience the feeling of entering into a meditation by spreading the mind with his heart and the Dharma.

“The situation is a little better than I thought.”

After checking Pei Wende's body, Zen Master Lingyou said so.

Although the cultivation of self-cultivation during this period failed to restore Pei Wende's body to its peak state before, it greatly weakened the impact of evil energy on the human body.

In addition, Pei Wende himself has a super-human body and sufficient yang energy. Some sequelae are not enough to affect his actions.

On the contrary, after a series of baptisms of revolving lanterns and evil spirits, Pei Wende has reached the most basic requirement of "entering the Tao" in terms of both his mind and his nature.

"Since you are so impatient, then let's do formal practice today!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Wende's face suddenly showed an expression of excitement.

From knowing that there are practitioners in this world to today, Pei Wende has been waiting for almost ten years, and now he can finally get to know the practice as he wishes.

"Old monk, you have to keep your word!"
