Central Plains, within the territory of Yan Country.
On Mount Carefree stood a thousand-year-old temple called Bodhi Temple.
This temple was a famous temple with a radius of thousands of miles. It was filled with incense and many believers.
The ancient temple was magnificent, and the Buddha bell was loud and clear.
There were two Buddhist cauldrons in front of the door, with sticks of sandalwood stuck in them, and green smoke curled up.
"When people die, they only seek blessings all day long. They don't seek to escape from the sea of suffering and lose their nature. They should look at it like this…The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror.”
A white-browed old monk, wearing a White Mist Kasaya, had smooth skin. He sat on the altar and began to preach Buddhism. It was really a scene of heavenly flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses surging from the ground!
Many monks sat below the stage with solemn expressions, as if they were intoxicated. Only a small novice sweeping not far away shook his head, frowned at times, and finally chuckled as he swept the fallen leaves.
When the old monk saw this scene, he could not help but snort at the young monk.""I'm talking about Zen here, why aren't you listening to me?”
Everyone frowned and looked at the little monk.
This little monk had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was like jade, and there was a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows. Even if he was wearing a monk's robe and was bald, he could not hide his otherworldly temperament. From afar, he looked like a Buddha descending to the earth.
How could there be such an extraordinary person in the human world?
Although the monks had seen the little novice monk, they were still shocked every time they saw him. Entering the Buddhist Sect like this, one could not see anything. Who knew how many young women shed tears and their hearts were broken.
The young man gently swept the fallen leaves. When he saw everyone looking at him, he did not panic.
He was called Chen Changsheng, an ordinary student on Earth. He had died in an accident and was reborn into this world of demons and devils.
When he first arrived, he was almost killed by demons. Fortunately, the old monk saved him.
He had been in the Bodhi Temple for three months now. He cleaned the hall every day, practiced calligraphy, burned incense, swept the floor, hoed the garden, planted flowers and trees, and looked for firewood to light a fire. He was a small sweeping monk with the Dharma name 'Dust!'
The old monk was called Zen Master Shenxiu.
"I don't agree with Master's words!”
Chen Changsheng returned the greeting.
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Little novice monk, you dare to question Master's words?”Many monks snickered and shook their heads.
Zen Master Shenxiu was neither sad nor happy.
"Tell me!"
Everyone turned to Chen Changsheng.
"All living beings are suffering. Everything is like a dream, a bubble, colorless and formless…Bodhi is not a tree, and a mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in it, so how can it be stained with dust?”Chen Changsheng put down his broom and respectfully replied.
Bodhi is not a tree, nor is a mirror a platform!
The sound is like a great bell.
It was so enlightening.
The hearts of many monks swayed. They could not control themselves. Their Buddhist hearts were shaken, and their auras were unstable.
Such comments had never been seen or heard of before!
His realm was clearly higher than Zen Master Godly Grace's!
Zen Master Divine Grace's body trembled as well, and a trace of horror appeared in his eyes.
"Good, good, good! What a good Bodhi tree, a mirror is not a platform!”He nodded repeatedly, full of praise." It's rare that a little novice monk can recognize the second sound. Let me ask you, how long have you been here?”
"Disciple has been here for more than three months!”
"March?"
A trace of shock flashed through Zen Master Godly Grace's eyes again.
When he preached the principles of Zen, these monks who had been in the sect for seven to eight years could not understand it. However, this little novice monk had only been here for three months and had already understood the truth in a second. He could be said to be intelligent!
"Alright, since you already know the principles of Buddhism, I'll teach you divine arts today. What do you want to learn from me?”Zen Master Godly Grace said slowly.
"But according to Master's teachings, as long as it suits your disciple's heart, your disciple will learn it!”
Chen Changsheng knelt on the ground, his hands spread out.
Zen Master Shenxiu said," I have a copy of the Mighty Heavenly Dragon Scripture here. When you cultivate this technique, your blood Qi and Yang Qi will be exuberant, and you can subdue demons and devils. At your peak, you will be like a true dragon descending to the earth. You will have remarkable abilities and can roam the four ends of the world. Are you willing to learn it?"”
"Can I transcend like this?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Zen Master Shenxiu said," This method is like the embryo of a brick kiln. Although it has already taken shape, it has not been tempered by water and fire. If it encounters a torrential rain, it will definitely rot!”
"If that's the case, then I won't learn if I can't transcend!”Chen Changsheng shook his head.
Zen Master Shenxiu continued," I also have a Hunyuan Qi Catastrophe Scripture. The Yang Qi in this cultivation method is strong and has boundless Buddhist power. It can reach the heavens and the earth, move mountains and overturn the seas. It's nothing special."”
"Can you transcend?" Chen Changsheng said.
Zen Master Shenxiu replied," This technique is like a pillar erected between walls. When the building collapses in the future, it will also decay!”
"There's no way to transcend. Don't learn, don't learn!”
Chen Changsheng waved his hand.
Zen Master Godly Grace frowned and said patiently,""I also have a mental cultivation technique called the Nine Burning Scripture. After learning this technique, one can reach the Buddhist Court without falling into the Netherworld.”
"Can this spell transcend?"
"This technique is like the moon in the sky, the shadow in the water, the reflection of flowers and the reflection of the moon.”
"I'm not learning, I'm not learning!"
Chen Changsheng repeatedly shook his head.
Zen Master Shenxiu snorted and jumped down from the platform. He pointed at Chen Changsheng with his wooden clapper and said,"Little monk, you're so interesting. You don't learn this or that. What do you want to learn?”
"I beg Master to grant me the wondrous method of transcending reincarnation!”
Chen Changsheng prostrated on the ground.
Reborn.
He knew that life was only a short hundred years, like a candle in the wind, dying in the blink of an eye.
Now, he could see the Dharma!
He naturally wanted to pray to Buddha to transcend and not fall into the cycle of reincarnation!
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Little novice monk wants to transcend?”He looked at Chen Changsheng in surprise.
Zen Master Shenxiu was neither happy nor angry as he chanted the name of Buddha.
"Amitabha!"
"You've only just entered the sect and have yet to open your Buddha nature. You're just a mortal. How can you talk about transcending and Dharma Void!”After saying that, a monk with a peaceful appearance stepped forward.
"Master!"
Fa Kong bowed.
" From today onwards, teach him the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist," Zen Master Shenxiu said." When he has learned it, let him come to me again!"”
With that, he walked forward and knocked three times on Chen Changsheng's head. With his hands behind his back, he walked through the door, closed it, and left the crowd behind.
After Zen Master Shenxiu left, no one talked about Zen.
The seated monks all complained about Chen Changsheng,"Master taught you the Buddhist Dharma and divine powers, but you didn't learn them. You even contradicted Master. Now, we can't listen to Zen, hmph! I want to see what great skills you want to learn in the future.”
"Senior Brothers, you're right!"
Chen Changsheng did not make a scene, his face full of smiles.
His master hit him three times, walked in with his hands behind his back, closed the middle door, and asked Fa Kong to teach him the Vajra Demon Fist. When he learned the Vajra Demon Subduing Fist, he would enter his room from the back door at midnight and secretly teach him the Buddhist Dharma.
"Forget it, forget it."
Fa Kong came up to persuade him." Little Junior Brother is also eager to pray to Buddha. He has a sincere Buddha heart, so he should be forgiven! We'll just listen to Master's Zen lecture the next time!”
"Eldest Senior Brother is right!"
Everyone nodded, then turned to Chen Changsheng." Little Junior Brother, don't do this next time. Let's go!”Then, he left.
At this moment, Fa Kong looked at Chen Changsheng and smiled."Junior Brother, don't forget to look for me at the Demon Suppression Tower after you're done sweeping. I'll teach you the Vajra Demon Subduing Fist! However, the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist is extremely difficult to cultivate. I hope Junior Brother can be mentally prepared!”
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Chen Changsheng pressed his palms together.
After Fa Kong left.
Chen Changsheng merely smiled, not thinking much of it.
"Extremely difficult to cultivate?"
He swept the fallen leaves and his eyes flashed. A progress bar was slowly increasing. 9900/10000, and beside it was written: Sweeping the floor 10000 times. Obtained max Comprehension Level 99999!
In front of the maximum level of comprehension.
A mere Vajra Subduing Demon Fist was a small technique!
