"Miao Kong."
Golden Mountain Temple, inside the Great Buddha Hall.
The abbot, Zen Master Fahai, sat on the futon with his back facing the disciples. The wooden hammer in his hand stopped, and the sound of the wooden fish stopped.
Fahai didn't even turn his head and just called out a name softly.
As if it was a signal, all the disciples turned around in unison and looked at a figure in the corner.
That person stood up. He was a young monk who was very handsome and had a faint dignified appearance.
The small monk put his palms together and lowered his head. He didn't speak, but his eyes were hazy. It was obvious that he had just woken up from a dream.
"You're distracted again."
Fahai stood up helplessly and walked in front of Miao Kong. His tall figure enveloped his youngest disciple.
"Master, please forgive me. I was just thinking about a problem.”
Miao Kong lowered her eyes, her voice clear.
"Oh? Tell me."
As Fahai spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and added,"Don't talk nonsense."
"Yes."
Miao Kong raised his head and looked at the old monk with white hair and beard. He asked,""May I ask what Kasyapa's smile is?”
Fahai raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect his troublesome disciple to ask such a serious question.
Once upon a time, under the Bodhi tree, the monks sought the Dharma, but the Buddha only picked one flower. The monks were puzzled, and only Maha Kasyapa smiled.
Fahai explained," I have the Hidden Eyes of Righteous Law, the Heart of Nirvana, the Real Form and Non-Form, and the Subtle Dharmakaya, which are not written in words. They are passed down outside the religion and entrusted to Maha Kasyapa.”
"This is a wonderful technique of the Blessed One."
"Compared to the Mahayana Buddhism, which is better?" Miao Kong suddenly asked.”
Fahai was stunned by the question. His eyelids twitched. Looking at his disciple's innocent eyes, he said,"There is no distinction between high and low in Buddhism."
"But the Mahayana Buddhism has spread throughout the four continents, so why does Kasyapa treasure it? Isn't this contrary to my grand wish to educate all sentient beings?”
Miao Kong continued to ask.
Fahai took a deep breath. The fist in his sleeve was hard.
"Miao Kong, follow me."
"Yes."
Miao Kong obediently followed behind Fahai and turned to the back of the Hall of Great Strength.
Fahai's footsteps were steady, and the soft soles of his monk shoes made his footsteps sound sonorous.
Miao Kong lowered his eyes and words suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
[Slandering the Buddha, disobeying the teacher, violating the precepts of nonsense]
Reward: Comprehension 1, Affinity 1
Miao Kong let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had gained something from his death.
It had been fifteen years since he had transmigrated to this world and become a baby. He had been adopted by Fahai the moment he opened his eyes and spent fifteen years of his life in Jinshan Temple.
At the same time, a year ago, the system was activated.
[Oath-breaking System]
As long as one violated the Buddhist precepts, they would be given different rewards according to the severity of the offense.
In the past year, Miao Kong had violated the Nonsense Ring the most. This was not the first time he had offended Fahai. He just didn't know what punishment he would receive this time.
"Miao Kong!"
Fahai's angry voice woke up Miao Kong who was deep in thought.
"Boom!"
Miao Kong had just raised his head when he saw a withered finger tapping on his forehead, making a dull sound. What followed was a burst of pain and a red bump on his forehead.
Looking down at his little disciple who was covering his forehead, Fahai stared and said,""Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra ten times, Diamond Sutra ten times! Go!"
"Next time, I won't let you off easily!”
"Oh."
Miao Kong covered his forehead and ran to the low table beside him. He started to write down the scriptures that he had memorized.
"Phew…"
Fahai let out a breath of turbid air and rubbed his forehead. Since a year ago, he did not know what was wrong with his disciple. He always asked some inexplicable and strange questions.
However, there were still some crooked reasons!
Fahai knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. After all, Fahai himself was a Dharma Monk, not a Virtuous Monk who studied Buddhist scriptures.
It was easy for Fahai to draw out his saber and cut open the demons and devils. Under the might of the heavenly dragon, the demon king could only turn into ashes. After all, he was one of the top Arhats in the world.
However, if he were to teach his disciples, he would be at a loss.
Therefore, Fahai faced Miao Kong's problems and copied Buddhist scriptures.
As a child raised from a young age, he was afraid that he would not remember if he was beaten lightly, and his heart would ache if he was beaten heavily. Therefore, copying Buddhist scriptures became the main punishment.
On the other side, Miao Kong was copying Buddhist scriptures that he had memorized by heart while opening the system.

" I wonder when I'll be able to master a divine ability…"
As Miao Kong thought about it, he closed the system and started to focus on copying the scriptures.
He spent most of the day copying from morning to afternoon.
At dusk, Miao Kong stood up and looked at Fahai, who was meditating with his eyes closed.
"Master, I'm done copying."
"Yes."
Fahai opened his eyes and casually glanced at the Buddhist scripture that Miao Kong had copied.
He stood up and looked at his little disciple with a complicated expression for a long time.
"Miao Kong."
"Disciple is here."
"Tomorrow, you can go down the mountain."
"Hmm?"
Miao Kong was stunned. The old monk was enlightened? Was he renouncing asceticism?
He was not a monk in his previous life. He had seen the prosperous souls of the human world, but he could not stand the foreseeable future where he would spend most of his life with green lamps and ancient Buddhas.
The reason why he kept breaking the precepts was not only because he wanted the system reward, but also because he wanted to renounce asceticism!
Now, the old monk who had endured for a year was finally going to let him renounce asceticism?
Miao Kong was still feeling excited when Fahai continued,""I'm a Dharma protector monk after all, and I cultivate the Vajra Glaring Demon Slaying Abhijna, so I can't teach you too many Dharma and Logos.”
"However, our Buddhist Sect has many great virtues. There are naturally others who can teach you.”
As he spoke, Fahai took out a string of Buddhist beads from his sleeve and said,"Take this token and go to Lanruo Temple in Hangzhou to find Zen Master Yuanfa. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him.”
"Oh."
Miao Kong took it gloomily. So he wasn't asking her to renounce asceticism, but to find a new home for her?
Wait a minute…
Did the old monk just say…Lanruo Temple?!!
