Title: "Cultivation with a Demon" Introduction: An honest man brings a lewd dog, and an unscrupulous demon lives in the sea of consciousness, on his way to becoming stronger...
Text: Chapter 1: Lustful Temple
The scorching sun is like fire, sparkling fire and flowing gold.
A good mountain, but a ruined temple on the mountain that has lost its beauty.
…
"Three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo are the prophet of ducks in the spring river."
In a small room on the mountain, the sound of reading poetry and books could be heard.
Looking into the house through the open door, he saw a young man wearing a green shirt, with handsome features, aged between fourteen and fifteen years old, and with a slightly thin body.
He happened to read this poem, but beads of sweat rolled down his young and immature face, and he couldn't help but laugh, "This sentence is inappropriate. It is midsummer, and the sun is scorching like fire. It should be 'The red sun is scorching like fire.'"
It is only right that the wild fields and rice are half withered and scorched by fire."[
Luo Jiang is fourteen years old this year. He can read and write, and can write a poem. He should be a person with ink in his chest.
Yes, he was a scholar in the eleventh year of Emperor Qinxi of the Daqin Kingdom. His background was not low, but some complicated things in the middle led to his current situation.
The Daqin Kingdom is prosperous and prosperous, with a vast territory and vast resources, and a population of tens of millions. It is a state in the heaven. Luo Jiang, the current ideal is to obtain fame and become a good parent official, and then join the army, gain military exploits, and become a person who has made meritorious service and made a good reputation.
.
Quietly closing the poetry book, he picked up another thick book on the table, but it was the "Zhong Agama Sutra". This is a Buddhist sutra, but Luo Jiang is not a believer in Buddhism, but he is currently blank
The place I lived in was a monastery, and I borrowed books everywhere, so I had to make do with Buddhist scriptures and read them.
This "Zhong Agama Sutra", as well as two other Buddhist scriptures and a monk's notes, were found by Luo Jiang in a dilapidated hall in the temple. According to the notes, the temple had a glorious past, with a long list of titles, and was a thousand-year-old temple.
, horse races and incense burning, pilgrims like dragons, the light stays on all night long...
Even earlier, the monastery produced masters of Buddhism who could ascend to heaven and escape from the earth. It was a sect of cultivation that contained numerous secret books on boxing and cultivation.
After seeing it, Luo Jiang was moved and wanted to go in and have a look, but he never had the chance. The main hall of the temple was probably the only one that was locked.
However, when his mood cooled down, he was not too disappointed, because most of the records were false. They had been turned over by robbers, and Mao couldn't find even half of them.
Reading Buddhist scriptures out of desperation, Luo Jiang did not think it was a waste of time. He was not a die-hard reader. He knew that different paths lead to the same destination, and that by drawing inferences from one instance, one can also understand the meaning of the scriptures. You must know that many Buddhist eminent monks, on
His knowledge was not inferior to that of some great Confucian scholars in the imperial court. His father was once a second-rank Wenge scholar in the imperial court, and he had great respect for a monk.
To this day, Luo Jiang has also been reading Buddhist scriptures for three months. He can't help but sigh, "Buddhism seems to be all lumps and brains, but it is not the case. Others dare not say that just these people who compile Buddhist scriptures, they
He is smarter than a monkey and is very good at catering to the imperial court's ideas."
He took a pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote the word "fool" on the paper in front of him. His strokes were like snakes and snakes, and he turned out to be a good cursive hand. The characters were rugged and strong enough to penetrate the back of the paper.
"Whether it is the imperial court or Buddhism, it can be summed up in four words, 'fooling the people'. Confucianism says that 'the power of kings is given by heaven'. In the whole world, it is not the king's land, and it is the king's ministers who lead the land. Loyalty to the king is 'the common way of the world'
.Confucianism catered to the emperor’s thoughts, so the country has been governed by Confucianism since ancient times.
Buddhism's ability to imagine and confuse people is much more advanced than Confucianism. Buddhism believes that everything in reality is suffering, that is, "the sea of suffering". In this world, there are birth, old age, illness, death, resentment and separation, and love and separation.
, cannot achieve the five aggregates of suffering and the eight sufferings. The cause of suffering is not the rule and oppression of the imperial court, but 'karma'. The way to transcend suffering is to endure and practice, so that you can achieve 'Nirvana' and escape from the sea of suffering. There are also 'twelve causes and conditions'
The theory of "karma and retribution" is something that the imperial court is willing to accept and use.
No wonder the imperial court supports Buddhism!"
Luo Jiang rubbed the hard cover of the Buddhist scriptures in his hand and said to himself: "If you thoroughly study the meaning of Buddhist scriptures, it will just cater to the imperial court's thoughts. It will not be difficult to be promoted to the imperial examination." [
He unfolded the folded bookmark and saw an allusion. It was said that when the Buddha was preaching, he once stepped on the mud, but when he pulled out his feet, they were still as clean as new. It seemed that the mud did not touch the Buddha's body at all.
The same. Therefore, combined with the lotus's ability to emerge from the mud without being stained, the lotus is compared to Buddhism.
Seeing this allusion, Luo Jiang suddenly felt deeply. He put down the Buddhist scriptures for a while, stood up with his thin body, and looked out from the door. He jumped over a vegetable field and could see the main temple on another mountain peak in the distance.
The impression given by ordinary temples is that they are clean and elegant, with melodious bells, temples one after another, and big trees shading them. In the meantime, a few novice monks are holding brooms to sweep leaves. Incense is curling in front of the temple, monks are chanting sutras, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims.
Absolutely, pray for blessings.
However, the temple in Luo Jiang's eyes was contrary to common sense. In the temple, there were many plump women with revealing clothes. Women with half-clothed clothes had their arms and legs bare and even had their breasts half-stretched. What's more, majestic monks were chatting with each other.
These women were having sex... it was a smoky scene.
Outsiders will be stunned when they see it, mistakenly thinking that they have walked into a romantic place.
"In such a monastery, I can be regarded as emerging from the mud and untainted, right?"
Luo Jiang smiled bitterly, but immediately his eyes flashed with hatred, "That bitch, as the eldest lady in the family, she hates me, but she can't kill me openly, and she doesn't want me to gain fame and affect her status. In order to corrupt me, but
It took a lot of effort.”
Speaking of which, all the foul atmosphere in the temple was caused by him.
He was sent to the temple by the eldest wife of his family. The reason was that the scientific examination was approaching and the temple was quiet so he could prepare for the examination with peace of mind.
Along the way, Luo Jiang was guessing what kind of medicine the eldest lady was selling in the gourd. At first, he was worried that the eldest lady would send someone to kill him halfway, but when he thought about it, he wouldn't do it so blatantly. You must know that although his father is not at home, he is still at home.
There is also an upright grandpa. If the eldest lady really has the intention to disregard all this, there are many opportunities to take action, and there is no need to go to such trouble to organize a series of things.
It wasn't until he arrived at the temple that Luo Jiang understood the eldest lady's conspiracy.
This temple is called Fawang Temple, and it has long been in dire straits. There are only about twenty monks, and half of the pilgrims are gone. Along with Luo Jiang, there were ten women who came to the temple with all their charms. These ten women
You can let the monks in the temple play with it, the purpose is to corrupt Luo Jiang's mind under the influence.
No one who is a hot-blooded young man can resist this kind of temptation.
What the eldest lady hates the most is that a bastard who was born from a concubine can dominate her own son and make Luo Jiang fall down and become ambitious. She can best relieve her hatred. And if he is blamed by others, the ultimate reason is Luo Jiang himself.
Just be honest, no one will blame her.
Luo Jiangshang remembered that in the first three days when ten women came to the temple, they almost never stopped tossing with more than twenty fat monks. Wherever Luo Jiang went, all he heard were obscene words, and all he saw in his eyes was
They are all living prostitutes. If it weren't for the tenacity of the mind and the hard work, I might have become one of them.
"Sex is like a steel knife for scraping bones, not to mention this kind of wanton request? If I am addicted to the affairs of men and women, how can I have any thoughts to prepare for it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk." Luo Jiang has dabbled in miscellaneous books and ghost stories, so he is better than just one.
Scholars who read books by sages know better.
"For the time being, I will survive under the conspiracy of the eldest lady. After I pass the scientific examination, I will be qualified to be an official. With my father's guarantee, I will be able to rise to the top and be one step closer to my ideal. At that time, the sky was high
Let the bird fly, you don’t have to live in the shadow of that bitch all the time.”
Luo Jiang opened a crooked door and walked out. In front of the house was a large vegetable field with seven or eight kinds of vegetables growing well.
"Who said that Baiyi could only use scholars, but I am good at growing vegetables." Luo Jiang laughed at himself, with a certain amount of helplessness in his words.
The temple was so poor that they wanted to move the Buddha statues out and sell them. How could they let him live in vain? He also had another identity, that is, the "vegetarian" of the Fawang Temple.
The temple is by no means as simple as outsiders think. There are only abbots, monks, or novices who sweep the floor. There are also many positions, such as the deputy temple in charge of finance and accounting, Zhi Sui in charge of farming, Zhi Yu in charge of baths, and the incense in the hall.
The magistrate's palace...and so on, there are many kinds of positions, no less than twenty positions.
The "Caitou" is a person who specializes in growing vegetables and is managed by "Zhi Sui". When there are many people, he is still a small boss. When there are few people, he can only manage himself.
The twenty or so remaining monks in Fawang Temple all eat vegetables grown in Luojiang. Of course, the meat eaten by these drunkard monks is not his responsibility.
Fawang Temple is now in a state of dilapidation. The number of monks has dropped sharply from several thousand to only a dozen or so, and they have degenerated into eating meat, drinking alcohol, and doing nothing. In the past, they only went to the brothels in the city, but now it is better to deal with it directly in the temple.
.
Looking up, it is said that dozens of surrounding mountains are within the scope of Fawang Temple, but now the other peaks have been occupied by bandits and even ruffians. Only the main peak and the mountain where vegetables are grown in Luojiang remain.
If Fawang Temple was not still famous among the officials, I am afraid that the only two remaining peaks would have been occupied.
"What a sin! If the founder of the Fawang Temple saw what happened today, I wonder if he would be so angry that one Buddha would be born and two Buddhas would ascend to heaven." Luo Jiang said "It's a pity" with great gloating.
At this time, a big monk with a fat head, big ears, exposed clothes, and a swollen belly staggered over from the bottom of the mountain.
Luo Jiang's face immediately darkened. He had no good impression of any of the monks at Fawang Temple. This one seemed to be called Yuan Shan, and he was not a good person in particular.
"Haha, it's so refreshing! The woman your wife sent is so delicious, it makes Buddha very happy."
The great monk didn't fasten his trousers belt. He walked up the mountain with a big smile, looked at Luo Jiang and said, "Why are you kidding? A scholar is farming here. Not even the Buddha can do such rough work."
"Humph!" Luo Jiang snorted coldly and ignored it.
"Stupid virtue."
Monk Yuanshan said disdainfully and said to Luo Jiang again: "In this case, if you have any sisters at home, bring them over and give them to Buddha. If Buddha is merciful, you won't have to grow vegetables here."
"What did you say?"
Blood suddenly rushed to Luo Jiang's face. He clenched his fists slightly and looked at the monk with his eyes.
Yuan Shan also saw the blood rising on Luo Jiang's face and the way he clenched his fists slightly. Instead of restraining himself, he raised the corners of his mouth in disdain and said, "I'm going to scold you, what can you do?"
The expression comes from. With the power of tying a chicken with one hand, Bai Yi is a scholar.
Luo Jiang saw a hoe on the ground and picked it up, like an angry beast, glaring at Yuan Shan. The vulgar word stung him immediately, and he wanted to kill the fat monk immediately.
Although Luo Jiang has no older sisters, he cannot be humiliated like this. Even the books of sages teach readers that they can understand current affairs and seek compromises, but they must not be humiliated.
"Ha ha."
Yuan Shan seemed to have seen something interesting. He didn't notice Luo Jiang holding the hoe at all. He laughed, and then a fierce look suddenly flashed across his face, "What? The Buddha didn't even punch or kick you, so you went to heaven."
"You dare to point a hoe at me. I think you are itchy. With your small body, Buddha could knock you down with just one finger. How dare you challenge me?"
With that said, Yuanshan strode forward and stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan. Luo Jiang suddenly felt a pressure coming towards his face. He could only tighten the hoe in his hand to bring a sense of security.
Luo Jiang felt like a small boat in a violent storm, teetering on the edge of the wind and rain under the aura of the evil monk, and it could overturn at any time. Only when he was personally there did he understand the meaning of "a mountain collapses in front of him without changing his expression."
, if there is no strength to support it, it is all nonsense. I have experienced it firsthand, what is meant by "when a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why."
"You really dare to attack me, and you are not afraid of the laws of Daqin Kingdom that will punish you!"
Luo Jiang suddenly shouted, his voice and look stern.
Luo Jiang's sudden voice was so stern that Yuan Shan was startled, but after a moment he laughed wildly and said indifferently: "Don't bully the Buddha for being a rough man. The Buddha still knows the laws of the Daqin Kingdom and beats up scholars who have achieved fame.
, you have to be exiled for three thousand miles... But you rolled down the mountain and fell, so you can't blame me, right? Hehe."
"Hmph! Then you give it a try?"
Luo Jiang's voice was still stern and showed no fear, "Don't forget, the good food and drink you have had for the past three months, and those ten women, were all provided by that bitch. In other words, it was all because of me! She doesn't
You dared to kill me, so you put me here to be corroded. If you injure me, do you think you can bear the consequences?"
At this time, Yuan Shan was really stunned. Thinking about it, Luo Jiang was right. The person who sent a certain amount of resources to the temple also wanted to corrupt Luo Jiang. It was not convenient to kill this kid. There must be someone else.
For some reason, I'd better stop being too troublesome. Forget it, let this guy go.
Yuanshan stopped and waved his hand, "Buddha is not going to talk to you today. I am here to inform you that you will start going today to sort out the books and put them into categories."
…
Let’s take a look first. It will be officially released on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the Year of the Horse, which is the Sunday after tomorrow. I hope everyone will go and watch it by then. It will definitely be much better than the previous one and will not disappoint everyone.
