Although the little monk, Jing Kong, had already died and his soul had dispersed, he still had some memories left.
From the remaining memories, Su Fang understood the little monk's past.
It turned out that the little monk, Jing Kong, had violated the Empty Phase Temple's rules and was punished by the temple's rules.
Jing Kong's body had already been hollowed out by a woman and could not bear the punishment. In the end, he died and was about to be cremated when Su Fang coincidentally took over his body.
The resurrection of the little monk, Jing Kong, shocked the entire Empty Phase Temple.
That dignified old monk was the Temple of Empty Phase's discipline hall elder. He was also a powerful expert of the Buddhist sect in the Pure Land of Buddhism. He thought that the little monk, Jing Kong, had come back to life and wanted to convert him.
"I'm not dead. Elder, please have mercy!"
Although the discipline hall elder's willpower was extremely powerful, it was still unable to shake Su Fang. However, Su Fang did not dare to retaliate and hurriedly put his palms together and bowed. “
"Eh?"
The discipline hall elder's white brows furrowed and surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was a Dao Void Realm powerhouse after all. Under his Buddhist pressure, forget about some ghost, even a powerhouse at the height of Dao Profound would have his will crumble too.
Yet, the little monk, Jing Kong, was unscathed. How could the discipline hall elder not feel strange? No!
Only the discipline hall elder and the hundreds of monks who were watching the commotion all looked at Su Fang in surprise. Yes!
Su Fang sensed. The discipline hall elder raised his white brows and shouted like an awe-inspiring Vajra, "Whether you're really not dead or a ghost that has come back to life, I'll suppress you!"
Su Fang revealed a look of grief and indignation. He asked, "Elder, why must I die?"
"You've violated the precept of lust and tarnished the Empty Phase Temple's reputation. How can I let you live?" The discipline hall elder said indifferently. Su Fang
Fang said, "I've indeed violated the precept of lust and my crime is unforgivable. However, I've already been punished. How can Elder continue to punish me? Buddhist cultivators should have a compassionate heart. Why can't Elder forgive me and insist on killing me? "
The Justice Hall Elder flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted coldly, "Although you're born with good looks, you've ruined the chastity of countless women. How can I tolerate you?"
Su Fang said calmly, "Jing Kong has experienced a life and death situation, and he has gained enlightenment. He has already let go of those women, and from now on, he will view all women as skeletons. Why was the elder so obsessed with those women? Could it be that even Elder can't let it go? "
The Discipline Hall Elder was rendered speechless by Su Fang's rebuttal, and immediately flew into a rage.
Suddenly ~
An old and gentle voice echoed out. "Jing Kong has gone through this calamity, yet he managed to come to such a realization. This time, please forgive him!"
"Yes, Grand Elder Fa Ming!"
The Discipline Hall Elder said respectfully. Then, he shot a sharp look at Su Fang and left in embarrassment.
Just like that, Su Fang finally got away with it and became a little monk of the Empty Phase Temple.
For the next few years, Su Fang stayed in the Empty Phase Temple obediently. During the day, he did heavy chores, and at night, he released his will and secretly snuck into the Empty Phase Temple's Sutra Depository to read and comprehend Buddhist scriptures and cultivate his will.
In a short period of time, his Daoist Heart naturally wouldn't improve too much. However, Su Fang wasn't in a hurry. He maintained a calm attitude and progressed step by step, slowly accumulating.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.
Fang had already changed from a little monk to a great monk. However, his status hadn't changed much. He had to do heavy chores every day, and coupled with the fact that he had offended the Discipline Hall Elder in the past, he was ostracized and oppressed by the other monks in the temple. His life didn't seem to be very good.
However, Su Fang didn't care about this small ordeal at all.
During these years, Su Fang had read all the Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Depository. His Daoist Heart seemed to have been cleansed, and there was an obvious improvement. However, he was still far from reaching a higher realm.
Heart cultivation was about following the right conditions and doing nothing. If one deliberately pursued it, it would be difficult to improve at all. Thus, Su Fang had always maintained a calm state of mind.
At the same time, Su Fang was also paying attention to the movements of the upper echelons of the Pure Land of Buddhism.
Ever since Qian Gang and that Buddhist elder had returned to the Pure Land of Buddhism, they had begun to make preparations for the migration.
Of course, they couldn't all move at once. They would move in batches, and a considerable portion of them would remain in the Pure Land of Buddhism forever. It was equivalent to being abandoned.
The upper echelons of the Pure Land of Buddhism had no choice. To travel from the Pure Land of Buddhism to the Eastern Profound Divine Domain, one had to travel through endless space and go through layers and layers of danger. Naturally, they couldn't bring everyone with them.
Not only the mortals of the Pure Land of Buddhism, but also the majority of Zen cultivators would be left behind in the Pure Land of Buddhism.
The main reason was naturally because Zen cultivators cultivated willpower and stood aloof from worldly affairs. Their overall strength was naturally inferior to the Pure Land of Buddhism.
This time, the Pure Land of Buddhism was moving to the Eastern Profound Divine Domain. Although they had Su Fang's protection, they didn't have the strength and naturally couldn't establish themselves. The Zen cultivators who didn't have the strength were naturally mercilessly abandoned.
Another three years passed.
The Empty Phase Temple suddenly summoned all the cultivators and gathered them in the spacious plaza in front of the temple.
The Empty Phase Temple was the largest Zen temple in the Pure Land of Buddhism. There were branches everywhere, and all the cultivators were gathered together. There were more than a million of them, and they were densely packed with big shiny bald heads. They dazzled Su Fang a little.
Although Su Fang was currently an errand boy of the Empty Phase Temple, he was still a member of the main temple. Therefore, he was also summoned to the plaza.
The Empty Phase Temple had never summoned monks on such a large scale before. Many of the Buddhist cultivators didn't know the reason, and all of them were discussing in low voices.
Su Fang's current status, he naturally stood behind the many Buddhist cultivators. Hearing the crowd's discussion, Su Fang revealed a faint smile.
Su Fang naturally knew the intentions of the Pure Land of Buddhism and the Empty Phase Temple's upper echelons.
Many Buddhist cultivators waited in the plaza for more than two hours. A group of Empty Phase Temple's upper echelons wearing kasayas walked out of the main hall. The crowd instantly fell silent.
The Buddhist elder in the lead looked to be in his seventies. He had a kind face and a solemn appearance. His eyes were deep and calm, as if they could contain all things in the world without a trace of impurities or filth.
The elder's cultivation was not high. He was only at the peak of the Profound Dao Realm. He was even inferior to the Discipline Hall Elder behind him.
Many Buddhist cultivators looked at him with eyes full of respect.
This Buddhist elder was the Empty Phase Temple's Grand Elder. His Dharma name was Fa Ming.
Grand Elder Ming was an expert of the Pure Land of Buddhism's Zen Sect. Although he didn't cultivate divine power, his cultivation of spiritual will was top-notch in the entire Pure Land of Buddhism.
His Profound Dao cultivation was not obtained from cultivating Buddhism or his physical body. Instead, it rose naturally when he cultivated Buddhist scriptures. If he focused on cultivating, he could probably become a Dao Saint.
Grand Elder Ming calmly looked at the many Buddhist cultivators below. He spoke in a calm and steady voice, "Everyone!"
His voice contained a mysterious power that calmed one's mind. All the Buddhist cultivators calmed down.
Fang's eyes shone brightly. He thought to himself, "This old monk's cultivation of spiritual will has clearly surpassed the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man and Yin and Yang. He's even stronger than me. The Pure Land of Buddhism isn't that strong, but it has such a shocking Buddhist cultivator. I hope this trip won't be in vain! "
After that, Grand Elder Fa Ming slowly explained the reason why he had gathered so many Buddhist cultivators in the Empty Phase Temple.
The upper echelons of the Pure Land of Buddhism had already decided to move to the Eastern Profound Divine Realm. They would select cultivators who were proficient in Buddhist scriptures and had obtained the true essence of Buddhism from the Zen Sect. They would be the first batch to follow the upper echelons to the Eastern Profound Divine Realm.
Fang understood that these cultivators selected from the Zen Sect would be the only batch of Buddhist cultivators who could go to the Eastern Profound Divine Realm. The others could only stay in the Pure Land of Buddhism.
Those who came down would be treated as abandoned pawns by the upper echelons. “
The selected seedlings will not only be the first batch to go to the Eastern Profound Divine Realm, they will also be able to comprehend the stupa tablet and cultivate the most profound scriptures of our Buddhist sect. "
As soon as Grand Elder Fa Ming said this, almost all of the Buddhist cultivators became excited. Their eyes lit up with excitement. “
Stupa tablet? I didn't expect the Pure Land of Buddhism to bring out such a treasure! "Su Fang's heart stirred, and his eyes lit up. Fa Ming
Grand Elder Fa Ming shook his head helplessly. “
The Empty Phase Temple will first hold a preliminary selection. After that, the seedlings selected from all the Zen Sect monasteries in the Pure Land of Buddhism will be selected together. "
This selection is extremely important to the Empty Phase Temple. The upper echelons will only give a limited number of spots to the Zen Sect. Furthermore, there are so many monasteries in the Pure Land of Buddhism. The allocation of spots will be decided based on the results of the selection. The number of spots the Empty Phase Temple will receive will depend on your performance in the selection. "
The Discipline Hall Elder shouted with a serious expression.
Many of the Buddhist cultivators finally realized that this selection was somewhat unusual.
Grand Elder Fa Ming said calmly, "Let's begin!"
After that, the ten or so upper echelons of the Empty Phase Temple sat down cross-legged in front of them. Many Buddhist cultivators followed suit.
The selection method was very simple. With Grand Elder Fa Ming reciting Buddhist scriptures at the front and using his willpower, those who couldn't withstand it would naturally be eliminated. The last thousand people who could endure until the end would pass the preliminary selection and represent the Empty Phase Temple in the selection.
Grand Elder Fa Ming's voice was solemn and holy. His voice swept through the plaza, and a calm yet powerful will instantly swept through the minds of all the Buddhist cultivators.
Fang also pretended to sit cross-legged at the very back. He looked like he was all ears. He.
Su Fang hadn't planned on participating in the preliminary selection and was prepared to withdraw from it at the very beginning. However, the stupa tablet that Grand Elder Fa Ming mentioned made him change his mind. Human.
The Buddhist cultivators of the Empty Phase Temple were actually descendants of a foreign race called the Stupa Clan. They had once been glorious.
Although the Buddhist Sect had declined, their foundation was still there. The stupa tablet was a Buddhist treasure that came from the Stupa Clan.
