Li Yang was 20 years old and had no parents. He had been visiting famous mountains since he was young. When he was 15 years old, he came to H City to do odd jobs in a temple. When he was free, he often went out to play. He had a strange temper and often got together with many bad teenagers. They fought with each other. He was a famous person in the neighborhood.
In the year 2000, in the Wuwang Temple in City H, Province H. The 20-year-old Li Yang finished cleaning the monastery and rested on an ancient tree. The birds would play here from time to time, and they were having a good time. Time passed by like this every day. It was as if time did not matter to him at all.
An old white-browed monk who was as thin as a stick slowly walked toward him and said,""Almsgiver Li, how have you been?"
Li Yang didn't reply." How can it not be good? I'm here every day, cleaning the monastery. I'm living a comfortable life."”
"Almsgiver Li, you're already 20 this year, right?" The old monk smiled.”
His smile was terrifying, scaring the birds around him into flying away. Perhaps he had lived too long. Even he did not know how old he was, so even the birds were afraid of his smile.
"Yes, Abbot Zhishen, time really flies. I've already lived in your temple for five years. I only hope that you'll allow me to read your scriptures. Five years have passed in a flash."
Abbot Zhishen collected his thoughts and said," Benefactor Li, you must know that although you have a good heart in learning Buddhism, your temperament is unstable and you have a bad temper. You are not a person of Buddhism and the scriptures are the treasures of our temple. We cannot let you read them." So, five years had passed just like that.”
Li Yang still didn't look at him and only hummed.
Reverend Zhishen laughed amiably and said," Disciples of Buddha are based on tranquility and kindness. Their temperament is different from yours, but you are very talented. I want you to change your temperament, so I took you in to do odd jobs in the temple. I waited for your temperament to stabilize and meet the requirements of Buddha. I didn't expect you to be so wise. In two years, you have already met the requirements of restraining your habits. I could have let you enter the temple to read books, but I was delayed because I had something to do.”
When Li Yang heard that, he jumped down from the tree and said,""Abbot, is what you said true?"
Master Zhishen smiled but didn't say anything.
Li Yang said humbly," Abbot, I'm not an ignorant person. I understand what you mean, but I've been training too much these years. I wanted to leave from the beginning, but in order to stabilize my mind, I've been waiting here. During this period of time, although I'm in the market, I've already repented a lot. I'm no longer the me from five years ago. I have no hope of getting the master's approval.”
The old abbot put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice."It's not a famous temple. Patron, you've already moved our Buddha by cleaning our temple here. Everyone in this small temple is also very grateful to you. Today, I came to look for you because I want to see if your temperament has become closer to our Buddha after not seeing you for three years.”
"Abbot, you see, in these three years, I rarely go out. Other than helping your temple with chores, I cultivate in my room every day.”
A monk passing by looked at the abbot and said,""Abbot, Almsgiver Li is right. We young monks can testify for him.”With that, he continued to walk towards the Dharma Hall.
The old abbot's eyes emitted a dazzling white light that instantly covered Li Yang's entire body. Fortunately, no one around saw them. Otherwise, they would have shouted that they were aliens.
After the white light, the old abbot said,"Patron, I said that you could have gone to see it two years ago, but I was delayed by something." But today, you are more suitable to enter the Sutra Depository.”
Li Yang was stunned. Yes, he could have entered two years ago. He was angry, but he still said," Abbot, it's the same for two years and five years. As long as Abbot can let me enter the Scripture Pavilion to read."”However, he had already cursed the old abbot's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. Only then could he vent the hatred in his heart.
The old abbot was already over 80 years old and had seen the expressions of countless people. The so-called art of observing people had already reached the level of godhood and was extraordinary. Looking at Li Yang, who did not mean what he said, he chanted "Namo Amitabha" and continued,"Buddha, please forgive Almsgiver Li's sins.”
When Li Yang heard this, he knew that the old monk knew what he was thinking. It seemed that he had to be careful in the future.
The old abbot said to Li Yang," Almsgiver, you will go to the Sutra Library tomorrow morning. The Wisdom Junior Brother there will bring you in. I hope you can comprehend Buddhism and benefit the people of the world."”He turned around and left. At this moment, the old monk looked extremely tall and respectable. This might be the temperament of an accomplished monk.
Li Yang suppressed the excitement in his heart and returned to his room. He looked at the room he had lived in for five years and readjusted his mentality. He began to practice a set of cultivation techniques that he had accidentally comprehended when he was young. Ever since he started cultivating five years ago, he had always felt that he was more energetic and had endless power. However, in a place without the Buddha's Light, it was especially long to cultivate. Moreover, he always felt that he was possessed by the devil. He often injured people and could not control himself. This was also the reason why he searched for famous mountains and studied Buddhism everywhere.
Today, as he sat on the bed, he circulated his cultivation technique in his body and immediately entered the realm of both self and object. He gave up everything and devoted himself to himself. Soon, he did not know what was happening outside. He was the only one here.
If anyone was present, they would be shocked. At this moment, Li Yang was like a sun revolving around him. Beside him, there was a moon revolving around him. There were countless stars around him, emitting dazzling light that illuminated the entire room.
The next day, Li Yang woke up early and finished cleaning the courtyard. He said goodbye to the monk who cleaned with him every day and hummed his own tune. Then, he walked quickly to the Sutra Library that he had seen countless times outside.
Outside the pavilion was still the same as before. An old monk whose entire body had turned white was cleaning alone. However, the old monk had never left his original position. However, the entire pavilion had indeed been cleaned up.
The old monk walked to Li Yang's side and said," Kid, your cultivation is already very deep, but remember to be angry. It's harmful to your body."
Li Yang knew that this was Master Wisdom, so he said," Thank you for your teachings, Master. I've been watching you sweep the courtyard every day for the past five years. I'm really impressed, but please don't call me kid."”
The old monk's expression remained unchanged as he said," Kid, you will always be a child in my eyes. Do you understand? Yesterday, Senior Brother told me about your origins. You can be considered to be fated with my Buddha. Come with me."”
He opened the door and walked in. Li Yang quickly followed. It was still bustling outside, but once he entered, he saw the scene of a cave in the river. This might be the meaning of a different world. This so-called Sutra Depository was a cave with three layers inside and three layers outside. After walking through countless holes and turning around, one would be confused. It was hard to believe that this building, which looked like it was only 1000 square meters from the outside, actually took me more than 2 hours to walk to the end. However, the scenery had changed from the original cave to the current paradise.
Not far ahead, another wooden building appeared. This was really a big world. Although Li Yang was an avant-garde person, he was still surprised.
From the outside, this wooden building was about four stories high and about 100 square meters.
The old monk turned around and disappeared from the wooden building in front of Li Yang. Li Yang couldn't be bothered to enjoy the beautiful scenery. He circulated his energy in his dantian and used all his strength. After a few leaps, he also disappeared from the wooden building.
The smell of wood chips and the classical atmosphere lingered in the building for a long time. There were countless books of all kinds placed around him. No one knew how many books there were.
Li Yang only knew that there were all the ancient books in the world here, which were collected by generations of monks when they traveled around the world. However, he could not help but be surprised.
" Namo Amitabha!" A loud Buddhist proclamation sounded behind him. Li Yang was startled and pulled back from his shock.
Li Yang stepped forward and clasped his hands together. Was this the real Scriptures Depository?”
The old monk pressed his palms together and said," Benefactor, this is the Sutra Depository where the disciples of our temple rest for generations. However, this is only a part of it. The other Sutra Depository were destroyed in a war that happened thousands of years ago. This is the only Sutra Depository left. Five hundred years ago, when the number one sage of our temple, Grandmaster Wutian, was traveling in Sichuan, he obtained the Tomes of Arcane from a nameless hill. He rebuilt this building to protect the safety of the scriptures.”
After a pause, he continued," This building is divided into four floors. The first floor is the Hundred Knows Floor. It records all the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties up to now, as well as some unofficial history before the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The second level is the martial arts level. This level records all the martial arts discovered by the monks of our temple from ancient times to the present, as well as technological problems and some predictions.
"The third level is a supreme treasure. I shouldn't have let you know, but since Senior Brother said it, I'll tell you. It stores tens of thousands of scriptures created by Buddha and some supreme Taoist scriptures. As for the fourth level, I don't know. We don't know what's there either. However, before Grandmaster Wu Tian ascended, he said that fated people could enter. It was just that he did not know if you were that fated person.”At this point, the old monk stopped talking and revealed an ugly smile. The smile on his face made people laugh bitterly.
Li Yang held back his laughter and looked around." Master, can I walk around now?"”
The Wisdom Master smiled again and said,"Patron, please feel free to watch."”He then pointed at a fruit tree in the middle that he couldn't see the end of and said," Benefactor, there is a natural spring under this tree that you can drink. There are divine fruits on the tree that you can eat. You don't have to worry about hunger. If you take it once, you won't have to eat for many days.”With that, he turned around and left. Li Yang watched the wise old monk leave and prepared to cultivate here.
After looking around, he came to the fork of the old tree and sat down cross-legged. He focused his mind into his body and entered the chaos. He could feel countless bright spots floating towards Li Yang from all directions. Soon, they entered Li Yang's body and disappeared. Li Yang was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body. (Li Yang has just entered the external vision stage, so his foundation is a little unstable. Therefore, if he doesn't participate, he will go crazy.)）
Li Yang tried his best to immerse his mind into his body again. After an unknown period of time, Li Yang only knew that these light spots were constantly pouring into his body. In the end, he did not know anything. It was as if he had a good sleep. When the power of the sun and moon in his body stopped circulating, he woke up.
He quickly got up and looked around to see if there was anything wrong with his body. After a careful inspection, he finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong. He could not help but sigh and say,"It's alright. There's nothing wrong. It seems that this cultivation method really can't be practiced randomly."”
After eating a few fruits and drinking some water, he began to read on the first floor. This floor had the most books in the entire building. However, ever since he finished practicing the cultivation method, his memory had obviously improved. As long as he saw anything, he could remember everything. Just like that, he began to read in the building. He didn't know how long he had read, but he finally walked to the second floor.
The books on the second floor were about half of the books on the first floor. There were only some martial arts books and nothing special. After looking through them, he walked up to the third floor. Some of the cultivation techniques on the third floor were indeed very precious, but they were not as effective as Li Yang's cultivation techniques. Moreover, once he cultivated, it would conflict with the strength in his body. Just like that, he wandered aimlessly on the third level for more than a month before arriving at the fourth level.
There was a door on the fourth floor. At this moment, Li Yang remembered that the old monk had said before he left that only those who were fated could enter. He could not help but go forward and give it a try. As soon as he touched the door, a huge force threw Li Yang to the third floor and he fell on his face.
Li Yang was angry. He wanted to see if he was fated, but he treated him like this. He couldn't help but be furious. He went to the fourth floor again and used all his strength to smash the wooden door.
