A thousand-year-old temple stood in the depths of the black mountain where demons ran rampant in the Yan Country of the Central Plains.
In the Ancient Wood Wolf Forest, a winding stone path could be vaguely seen, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top.
There was an ancient temple at the end of the stone road. The plaque hanging diagonally at the temple door had the word "Lan" written in gold on it.
Yellow mud covered the low walls on both sides, and a piece of land was enclosed at the top of the mountain. Three dilapidated houses with green and black tiles were built inside.
There were no Buddha statues or bronze bells.
There was only one old monk who was wearing the White and Evil Kasaya. His white eyebrows drooped to the ground, but his face was as red as a peeled egg. He held a razor in his hand and shaved the youth who was sitting in the lotus position.
He saw that this youth had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was extremely handsome.
Once he entered the Buddhist Sect, he would lose everything. Who knew how many young women and charming women in the world would cry and be heartbroken for him.
As the old monk shaved, he chanted,"" The first blade, swear to end all evil."
"Second blade, willing to cultivate all good."
"The third blade, willing to save all living beings.”
The black hair on the youth's head floated down one by one and landed on the muddy ground.
"Amitabha. If you join our Buddhist Sect, your six roots will be pure.”
"Xu Changsheng is your secular name. I'll give you the Dharma name Xuankong. From now on, you are the Little Monk Xuan Kong.”
The old monk shaved the young man's head until it was shiny. He raised his hand and patted it three times before saying with a kind smile.
"Master, can I practice the Six Wisdom Brahma Heart Sutra now?" Xu Changsheng turned around and asked.”
The old monk touched Xu Changsheng's bald head. His kind smile suddenly froze.
"Xuan Kong, do you know that the Buddhist Sect wants to abstain from greed, anger, and obsession?”
"I know."
"Greed, anger, and obsession are also known as the three poisons, the three impurities, and the three flames.”
"These three poisons harm the body and mind, causing people to sink into the cycle of life and death. They are the root of evil, so they are also called the three unkind roots.”
"So, what does this have to do with my cultivation of the Six Wisdom Brahma Heart Sutra?" Xu Changsheng asked.”
"I forgot to tell you that you don't have the root of wisdom, so you can't cultivate the Six Wisdom Brahma Heart Sutra."”
"I…"
He looked at the razor in the old monk's hand.
The old monk quickly put away his razor and said,""Xuan Kong, remember to refrain from greed, anger, and obsession!”
Xu Changsheng took a deep breath to calm himself down.""I'm not angry. Master saved my life, and Xuan Kong will definitely remember it.”
"It's just that this monk isn't suitable.”
Xu Changsheng stood up and turned to leave the old temple.
The old monk said anxiously," It's dangerous at the foot of the mountain. The Yan Country is in turmoil now. It's chaotic and demons are running amok. You're just an ordinary person. If you go down the mountain, won't you be stuffed between the teeth of wolves, tigers, and leopards?”
Xu Changsheng stopped in his tracks and turned around.
He knew that the old monk was right.
After Xu Changsheng transmigrated to this world, he immediately encountered terrifying demons.
If the old monk had not appeared in time to help, Xu Changsheng would have been killed by the demon.
It was also because of this that Xu Changsheng witnessed the power of the old monk.
Sanskrit chants reverberated as a resplendent golden swastika character pressed down. The terrifying demon was instantly reduced to ashes, turning into a pile of scorched marks on the ground.
Only then did Xu Changsheng learn that the old monk cultivated the Six Wisdom Brahma Heart Sutra.
In this world, there were not only demons and ghosts, but also many self-cultivation experts.
Buddhist cultivators were only one of them!
For some reason, the old monk couldn't leave Black Mountain and couldn't help Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng had no choice but to follow the old monk to the old temple and stay there for a few days.
For the past few days, Xu Changsheng had been trying to wake up the system or look for other necessary cheat codes for transmigrators, but to no avail.
Xu Changsheng had no choice but to take the old monk as his master and enter Buddhism.
In the end…
Xu Changsheng did not have the root of wisdom, so he could not cultivate the Six Wisdom Brahma Heart Sutra!
" Don't panic, my disciple," the old monk comforted." I can teach you the Tendon Changing Classic. Then, I can help you cleanse your marrow and bones with my dense Buddhist power and help you cultivate the Tendon Changing Classic."”
"If you successfully cultivate the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture, even though it doesn't have Buddhist power, it can strengthen your body and prolong your lifespan.”
"When you reach the initial level of Tendon Changing Classic, you will be able to walk as fast as flying.”
"I'll write the Diamond Sutra on you. The Buddha's light will protect your body, and demons will not be able to invade you. It will allow you to leave the mountain safely in the shortest amount of time.”
"Amitabha."
The old monk lowered his eyes, put his palms together, and gave a Buddhist proclamation.
Xu Changsheng's eyes were slightly red, and warmth flowed through his heart.
"Master, I'm not going down the mountain. I'll study Tendon Changing Classic well.”
Just like that, spring came and autumn went.
Xu Changsheng was learning Tendon Changing Classic from the old monk.
In the past few months, the old monk had cleansed Xu Changsheng's marrow and bones with the help of his righteous and dense Buddhist power, allowing him to improve rapidly.
The Book of Tendon Changing is easy to learn but difficult to master.
Xu Changsheng had successfully cultivated the Tendon Changing Classic to the Initial Stage. His physical fitness was several times stronger than that of an ordinary person.
His strength, speed, reaction speed, muscle density, and skin toughness were far beyond what Xu Changsheng could compare to when he had just transmigrated.
Xu Changsheng lifted the ten-thousand-pound boulder as if it was light.
The apricot trees in the courtyard of the ancient temple had turned yellow.
A gust of autumn wind blew, and golden leaves rustled down.
Xu Changsheng sat on a simple stone bench and played Gomoku with the old monk to pass the time.
Xu Changsheng was the one who taught the old monk the game of Gomoku.
Once the old monk learned, he fell in love with playing Gomoku. He said that Gomoku contained a very deep Zen meaning.
One black and one white, chasing and blocking, showing off their lives.
Although he liked Xu Changsheng, the old monk with profound Buddhist cultivation was no match for Xu Changsheng, who had no wisdom.
The old monk held a white chess piece in his hand and looked at the simple " chessboard " on the stone table. His white eyebrows were tightly knitted together and he could not help but feel anxious.
Xu Changsheng said calmly like an old monk,""Master, remember to quit greed, anger, and ignorance.”
"Pa!"
The old monk placed his stone.
Xu Changsheng followed closely behind, and five black pieces had been placed.
"Master, you lost again."
The old monk glared at him and said,"Again!"
"Master, don't be greedy and don't be stupid," Xu Changsheng said.”
The old monk was unwilling. He put his palms together and chanted,""Amitabha. I've sinned. Come back tomorrow.”
Xu Changsheng stood up and said,"Come again tomorrow."?”
He saw that there were many fallen leaves in the courtyard and could not help but sigh."It has been several months since I came here.”
"The system hasn't awakened in the past few months. It seems that I'll have to spend the rest of my life in the deep mountains and forests, accompanied by the ancient Buddha and the green lanterns.”
"Sweep away the fallen leaves and pile them up.”
Xu Changsheng had nothing to do. He found a broom in the dilapidated side hall and began to sweep the dead leaves in the courtyard.
At this moment, a system notification sounded in Xu Changsheng's mind.
[Ding-dong. The host has successfully activated the sweeping system.]”
