Going down the mountain meant entering the human world.
Although Xu Changsheng did not read Buddhist scriptures, he knew about this world.
Just as the Agama Sutra recorded, there were four worlds in the human world, namely the four continents:
The first was Dongsheng Shenzhou, the second was Nanshanbu, the third was West Niuhe, and the fourth was North Kulu.
The center of it was Mount Meru, which was thousands of feet tall and connected to the Human Realm Upon Heavens.
The four sides were filled with the Aral Sea, which just happened to form the four continents.
The Eastern Victory Divine Continent is divided into nine states.
Xu Changsheng was in the Yan Country, one of the seven countries of the Central Plains!
Because of Mount Meru, this world was also known as the Great Meru World. It was one of the three thousand worlds mentioned by the Buddhist Sect.
When Xu Changsheng first heard about it, he was shocked by such a glorious world.
Apart from Buddhist cultivation, there were also Dao, Sword, Martial, Demon, Evil, and many other cultivation methods in the Meru Great World.
There were countless cultivation sects.
Just the ancient Buddhist temples alone were scattered all over the Meru World.
There is a poem to prove: South look at 480 temples, how many towers in the misty rain.
Xu Changsheng went down the mountain and left Black Mountain.
There was a small town closest to Black Mountain.
There were hundreds of families living there, and it was quite prosperous.
Xu Changsheng went there to establish good karma so that he could repair Huiming Temple and make it prosperous.
In the town, the sky was gray.
Pieces of bluestone slabs turned black. Pedestrians walked in a hurry and were anxious to go home when they saw that the sky had darkened.
Although Xu Changsheng was a handsome monk, no one took the initiative to hit on him.
"The entire town is surrounded by demonic energy. I didn't expect that even though Master had suppressed the Black Mountain, there were still other demons that didn't belong to the Black Mountain that were causing trouble again.”
Xu Changsheng looked at the sky above the town and shook his head.
"Benefactor, do you know where the Minister lives?" he asked.”
The man was stunned when he saw Xu Changsheng's handsome face, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes.
"Minister's family? Holy Monk, you are looking for Minister Li. He lives in the east.”
"Follow the main road. The most magnificent mansion in the east is Minister Li's house.”
The man revealed a terrified expression and said,"Holy monk, I advise you to find an inn to stay in earlier tonight.”
He could lower his voice.
"I heard that there are monsters in town at night. I came out to catch people to eat!”
Xu Changsheng smiled calmly, put his palms together, and chanted,""Amitabha. Patron, This Penniless Monk is here to capture demons.”
"You look gentle and quiet, with soft skin and tender flesh. You're not bad at sitting on an altar and preaching, but you can't catch demons.”
"If you go to catch demons, aren't you sending delicious cakes to the demons?”
After the other party finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Xu Changsheng watched him leave and said with a smile,""This Penniless Monk has always subdued demons with virtue.”
The sky was gray and was about to turn dark.
Dark clouds rolled, giving people the feeling that it was about to rain.
Xu Changsheng quickened his pace and arrived at Minister Li's house.
"The demonic aura of the town has formed a vortex in the sky above Minister Li's house.”
Outside the most magnificent mansion, he knocked on the door.
Soon, a servant from the Li family opened the door for Xu Changsheng.
The servant looked up and saw Xu Changsheng. He was surprised for a moment.
It was as if Xu Changsheng's arrival had lit up the door.
" Amitabha," Xu Changsheng said." This Penniless Monk wants to beg for alms. I wonder if I can inform him?"”
"This…Holy Monk, please wait a moment. I'll go immediately.”
Xu Changsheng had an extraordinary bearing. He held a purple-gold staff and wore a brocade kasaya. The servant hesitated for a moment, but he did not dare to be negligent and went to report.
Xu Changsheng's Marrow and Tendon Changing Scripture had been cultivated to the sixth level, so his hearing ability was naturally extraordinary. He had already reached the realm of hearing divine power.
His ears moved slightly and he could clearly hear the sounds in the mansion.
"Old Master, there's a monk outside who wants to beg for alms.”
"Alms? He would just give him some rice and vegetarian dishes and send him away.”
"This…Master, this monk doesn't look simple. He has an extraordinary bearing and looks like a holy monk.”
"Holy monk? How can there be so many Saint Monks in the world? Let me go and take a look!”
After a while, a big-built, round-waisted Minister Li, who was wearing a square hat, personally came to welcome him.
The moment he saw Xu Changsheng, Minister Li knew that the servant was not exaggerating at all. He was really a holy monk.
"I've made you wait for a long time, Holy Monk. I wonder if you would like to eat vegetarian food or use money?”
Minister Li smiled and asked.
"Incense money."
Xu Changsheng glanced at Official Li and then looked into the depths of the mansion.
Minister Li moved his chubby body to block Xu Changsheng's gaze and said,""Is ten taels of silver enough?"
" A hundred taels of gold," Xu Changsheng said leisurely." I want the squire to pay for the repair of Huiming Temple in Black Mountain. I want to build a golden body for a saint monk, and I want incense to burn continuously!"”
Minister Li's expression changed again and again.
The first time his expression changed was because Xu Changsheng had demanded a hundred taels of gold!
One had to know that ten taels of silver could provide food and drink for a common person's family for a month in Yan Country.
A hundred taels of gold was equivalent to a thousand taels of silver!
Even the wealthiest Minister Li couldn't possibly take out so much money at once.
If this wasn't asking for an exorbitant price, then what was?
The second change in expression was because Xu Changsheng mentioned Black Mountain.
The Black Mountain was definitely a forbidden place for the villages and towns within a radius of 100 miles.
No one who entered the Black Mountain had ever come out alive.
The monk in front of him actually wanted him to repair Huiming Temple on Black Mountain. Wasn't that the same as asking him to die?
Minister Li's kind face immediately darkened.
"Hurry up and leave! Where did this crazy monk come from? He was spouting nonsense here and asking for an exorbitant price!”
"Men, chase the monk away!"
Minister Li immediately called for more servants to chase Xu Changsheng away.
" Don't be angry," Xu Changsheng said with a smile." With your wealth, it's not difficult to repair a temple."”
"In addition, the demons and ghosts in the black mountain have long been ferried away by This Penniless Monk. There's no need to worry about demons.”
"Besides, this penniless monk won't make you pay so much for no reason.”
"This Penniless Monk is here to beg for alms and form a good relationship with you.”
"If you are willing, this poor monk can resolve the difficulties of the benefactor's residence.”
"Why aren't you leaving?" asked Minister Li with a dark face.”
"Ah Fu!"
"I'm here, Master." The servant named Fu replied.”
"Chase him away!"
