After reading Wuya's Notes, Fahai was truly sure that he was indeed not reborn on earth.
Although the Song Dynasty is similar to the ancient China in Fahai's impression in many places, it has many differences. The Song Dynasty in this world has 108 counties and 108,000 prefectures and counties, and its territory stretches for thousands of miles. The area is larger than the entire earth, and the population exceeds 10 billion, which is more than double the population of the entire earth.
Such a super empire is only one of the many countries in Eastern China, one of the four major continents of the Yanhuang world. In terms of land area and population, it is less than one percent of the entire Eastern China.
How big the whole Yanhuang world is can be seen through the Song Dynasty.
Although the world of Yanhuang is not the earth, many of the habits of the people of the Song Dynasty are similar to those of ancient China. The most notable feature is the coexistence of tolerance and arrogance. Tolerance is reflected in the fact that this country is one of the few countries in Eastern China where multiple faiths coexist. They had basic freedom of religious belief; their arrogance was reflected in the fact that the people of the Song Dynasty regarded themselves as the Kingdom of Heaven, called themselves the Holy Land of the Central Plains, and paranoidly believed that the Song Dynasty was the center of the world.
Moreover, in the culture of the Central Plains people, those in the east are called Yi, those in the south are called Man, those in the west are called Rong, and those in the north are called Di. Yi, Man, Rong, and Di are all words used to describe livestock. It can be seen that in In the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, apart from themselves being considered human beings, the people living around them are all beasts that eat their hair and drink their blood.
There is a reason why the people of the Central Plains are arrogant, that is, the Central Plains is the richest and most prosperous place in the entire Eastern China. What supports the prosperity of the Central Plains is the rule of civil, military and spiritual officials that all dynasties in the Central Plains have tried their best to promote. System, civilian officials govern the country, military attachés bring peace to the country, and spiritual officials subjugate demons. No matter how the dynasties change, the national policy of paying equal attention to the three officials has never changed.
In short, if you want to live a prosperous life in this world, there are only three ways to go, and that is to study literature, practice martial arts, and cultivate truth.
Studying literature means studying the classics and history, Confucianism, becoming an official through the imperial examination, assisting the emperor in governing a country, and becoming a domineering official;
To practice martial arts is to study marching formations and military strategists' ideas, and to become a general who can command thousands of troops and horses by opening up territories and splitting territories, conferring titles on marquises and worshiping prime ministers;
Cultivation is to study Buddhism, Taoism and other schools of thought, practice hard in the mountains, and become famous all over the world.
For Fahai, he was very straight in school in his previous life and even more miserable in military training. He had no interest in learning literature and martial arts, and he did not want to enter the officialdom of intrigues and intrigues again. Therefore, his goal in this life is very clear. , that is to make good use of existing resources and become a cultivation master who is superior to all living beings.
Of course, this is the ultimate goal. At a lower level, it is to be able to stand out in Dalin Temple, become an abbot in the future, open a black temple, become a silver monk, and have all the money and beautiful women in his hands, just like the one in "Shu Mountain" in the previous life The abbot of Ciyun Temple is so carefree and at ease.
Fahai is not afraid that he will end up as miserable as the abbot of Ciyun Temple in the future. He, Fahai, comes from a well-known and upright family. There is no way he can be blamed. Who knows, when they need him in the future, the immortals will visit the thatched cottage and ask him to come out to help subjugate demons.
Playing the role of an eminent monk is a job that Fahai, who was deeply influenced by Zen Master Wudu, is good at.
…
After ringing the bell and calling it a day, Fahai and others returned to the small courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, Fa Er said hello to his master's wife, then anxiously walked down the mountain holding the love letter, while Fa Hai walked to the dormitory, ready to continue practicing.
As he practiced, Fahai's sixty years of mana gained from his inner demons were all converted into his own cultivation. However, what puzzled Fahai was that ordinary people only needed ten years of mana to reach the ninth level of immortality.
, he has accumulated several times more than ordinary people, but he still has not experienced the feeling of being filled with water and hanging himself, entering the bottleneck of cultivation.
Isn't a magic power enough?
With doubts, Fahai returned to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the door, he found Zen Master Wudu standing in the dormitory. He was looking through the window at the back of Fa Er as he flew away, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. When he saw Fahai come in, Wudu
The Zen master slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed,
"Besides toothache, there is also love...Amitabha!"
One sentence shocked Fahai to the core. This cheap master has always spoken so shockingly. Fortunately, Fahai was used to it and quickly greeted him, "Master, why are you always here?"
"On a whim, I wanted to guide you in your practice. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiaoer excitedly sending love letters to people... Hey, this child is too young and is obsessed with love affairs too early. I'm afraid
It will affect your practice." Zen Master Wudu nodded.
"Then why didn't you stop him?" Fahai was stunned. He didn't expect that even Zen Master Wudu knew about this.
"It's okay, I have confidence in that girl Cui'er's vision." Zen Master Wudu smiled slightly.
"Uh~" Fahai was speechless. This master really likes to beat around the bush and hurt people. If you directly say that you have no confidence in Fa Er, there will definitely be no chance. If Fa Er knows this, he won't be able to beat you.
Are you trying your best?
Fahai can understand Fa Er. When he was in school, he was also a seed of infatuation. As a result, the seed was drowned by a heavy rain before it had time to sprout. It seems that this junior brother Fa Er has a chance to share the same fate with him.
A handful.
"Let's not talk about him. Although there is an old saying that as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle, but a wooden pestle can only be ground into a toothpick. If the material is not right, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless." Zen Master Wudu said, "With Xiao
Erbi, I am more concerned about you as a teacher, Xiaohai. Among my three disciples, you are the most likely to inherit my mantle, and I am optimistic about you."
Fa Hai couldn't help being flattered, but after careful consideration, he found that there was something in Zen Master Wudu's words, so he quickly moved a futon for Zen Master Wudu to help him sit down, and he also knelt down opposite the Zen Master with a look of being taught.
.
"Master, I can't bear these words. Just say what you want to say."
"Nothing, I'm just saying that we are monks after all, and we have to avoid something in this life?"
Zen Master Wudu raised his eyes and said with profound meaning, "For us monks, quitting means enlightenment. For example, my master recently quit retreat and realized a great supernatural power. For example, you
, haven’t you quit that recently and stepped into the secret realm of immortality in one fell swoop? This world is like this, if you are willing to give up, you will gain something if you give up. Besides, those things are gone when they are gone, and we monks generally don’t
No need for it..."
Fahai felt helpless for a while, and he finally understood why Zen Master Wudu came to him for nothing. He came to comfort him emotionally, and to give him guidance in case he couldn't think clearly.
"Master, for those of me who practice Buddhism, the physical body is just a piece of shit. I understand this truth."
Seeing this, Fa Hai quickly put on an expression of enlightenment, "This is often the case in the world. There are some things that it's too late to turn back. Even if I am willing to humble myself and become a bad horse, there may not be a way to turn around waiting for me.
Eat. Who among you is this right?"
"Xiao Hai, this time I can be sure that you have truly enlightened, and your Zen cultivation has been able to pass on my legacy."
Zen Master Wudu said happily. After speaking, he carefully took out a simple scripture from his arms and put it in Fahai's hand. He solemnly told, "I have a scripture here. After you memorize it, you must remember to burn it."
Don’t let anyone see it. Moreover, you must remember that before you complete the relics of this sutra, you must not practice it on your own."
"You always complain that I don't guide you in your practice, but you don't know that the magical power I practice is different from Dalin Kung Fu, which advocates diligent practice. Practice is all based on the word "enlightenment". One flower, one world, and enlightenment is bliss! Amitabha~
"
After shouting the Buddha's name, Zen Master Wudu stood up and left leisurely, leaving only Fa Hai with an extremely free and easy back.
