"Senior Brother Fahai, you are so creative in stealing chickens in broad daylight." 1

A sound like a broken gong rang in his ears. Fahai, who had a splitting headache, opened his eyes drowsily, and suddenly found himself lying on a wooden bed in a simple dormitory. Beside the bed was a young monk who looked like a black iron tower more than two meters high.

He was staring at a pair of giant copper bell eyes, looking at him with three parts of mockery, three parts of concern, and a third part of hatred.

"Where is this? There are no temples near City X..."

Before Fa Hai could figure out the situation, there was another sharp pain on the back of his head. A series of strange and familiar memories flooded into his mind, gradually merging with his original memories. With a huge roar in his mind

, the two memories blended together, and Fa Hai, who came back to his senses, couldn't help being shocked.

"I actually traveled through time!?"

Before Fahai could recover from this incredible shock, the thunderous voice of the young monk beside the bed rang in his ears again.

"A disciple of the inner courtyard of Dalin Temple, a dignified cultivator, went to steal a chicken in broad daylight without saying a word, and was beaten up by several tenants who were not familiar with martial arts. Brother Fahai, if this embarrassing incident spreads, wouldn't it be an insult to me, Dalin?

Reputation?"

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Fa Ke. When they beat me, I said that I came down from the Shaolin Temple across the street." Fa Hai responded casually, almost instinctively, without having time to think carefully.

"Uh?!" Fake's expression suddenly became very interesting. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said, "Uh... However, senior brother, you are not practicing diligently. If the news of being beaten by a tenant spread out, it will also damage the reputation of the master.

You should be more careful when you see Master later."

Seeing Fa Hai's preoccupied look, Fa Ke's expression suddenly changed after he finished his sermon as usual. His big palm-like hand gently patted Fa Hai's shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Sneaking is nothing for Dalin disciples like us."

It’s a common occurrence. Senior brother, you’ve been with Master for so many years and you still don’t understand Master’s temper? At most, I’ll punish you by facing the wall for a few days. It’s not the first time, so why can’t you let go?”

After saying that, without any explanation, Fa Ke pulled Fa Hai up from the bed and walked out of the door.

"It's just a slap on the shoulder. How big a deal is it? What are you doing lying on the bed like a delicate female benefactor? Come on, follow me to see the master. After receiving the punishment, you can go eat chicken."

Although Fa Ke is Fa Hai's junior brother, he is several years older than Fa Hai, and he has never been polite when talking to Fa Hai.

Being held by Fa Ke's big hand, Fa Hai instinctively struggled away. Unfortunately, his small body was too weak, like an earthworm trying to shake an elephant, so he could only let Fa Ke pull him and stagger out of the dormitory.

"Junior brother, be gentle. Eh? Where is the chicken I worked so hard to get?"

"Master said that family members are not allowed to kill, so as usual, he sent it to our master's wife."

"Well, why don't you kill animals? I don't think he knows how to stew..."

…

After being pulled out of the dormitory by Fa Ke, Fahai's mind suddenly became clearer as a result of the cold wind. Although he was chatting with Fa Ke incessantly, his heart was full of confusion.

Fa Hai has very few memories of this life, so little that he can only make a vague judgment about the environment here. The only conclusion he can draw is that he has really traveled through time, and he has traveled through time in the same way.

In his previous life, he was a young man who grew up in a magical country with no house, no car, and no father. Although he was short and poor, he was quite talented and well versed in black knowledge. After graduating from a third-rate university, he just started his own business.

He infiltrated the agency and took on the leadership position of director of the anti-evil office in a core department such as the Commission Office.

I don't want to be extremely happy, but I don't want to be sad. In the process of going deep into the grassroots and "sacrifice" to save a woman who fell into a cult, her good deeds were ruined by her husband. She was afraid that her good future would be damaged. In panic, Chi Guoguo hid outside the balcony, but unfortunately she made a mistake and escaped from ten

Falling from the first floor...

Fahai clearly remembered that day was May 5th in the Gregorian calendar. He had just celebrated Youth Day and was celebrating Tomb-Sweeping Day, and he sadly died.

Perhaps it was in response to the Buddhist saying that he was spotless when he was alive and naked when he died. In this life, he became a little monk.

Fa Hai has no objection to time traveling and becoming a monk. After all, whether he wants to wear it or not, he has already done it. Moreover, as the director of the Anti-Evil Office in his previous life, he dealt with all kinds of magicians all day long, let alone time traveling as a monk.

He even encountered someone who claimed that he was reborn as a Mayan and traveled back to 2012 to see the effect of the prophecy from that year.

"My power is boundless and my wisdom is like the sea."

Fa Hai is a pretty good name. I wonder if it has any connection with the famous Fa Hai in later generations?

From the pale memory of this life, Fahai also learned that he was in Dalin Temple in the southwest of the Song Dynasty in Eastern China. His master, Zen Master Wudu, was a guest elder in the temple and was also the "Dalin Temple".

"One pagoda, two halls, three halls and four courtyards". The master of the middle and lower courtyards, although he is a guest, his status in the temple is extremely transcendent.

Fahai is the founding disciple of Zen Master Wudu. He has just turned sixteen this year. He was born into a noble family, but his life has declined. He has been practicing in the mountains since he was six years old. However, although Fahai started training early, he is a well-known loser with an empty head.

He took the title of a founding disciple and was ridiculed in Dalin.

The person next to Fa Hai is called Fa Ke, which means "Buddha relics, a moment of enlightenment" in Buddhist language. He was originally a direct descendant of the Pili Hall of the Tang clan in Sichuan, and was an art teacher. Although he started late, his cultivation is astonishing.

He is a leader among the younger generation of Dalin Temple. He started teaching three years ago and currently serves in the Discipline Hall.

Fa Hai also has a younger brother named Fa Er, which means "wisdom without beauty, Buddhism is undivided". He is twelve years old this year, has just received full ordination, and is still a young novice monk. Fa Er was born in a tenant family.

During the previous great disaster, his parents were unable to support him, so they sold him to Dalin Temple for two taels of silver. Fahai's impression of him in his previous life was that he was very stupid, naive, and very stupid. However, although Fahai was stupid, it is said that he was...

The reincarnation of the golden-bodied Arhat possesses the root of great wisdom and is one of the key training targets in the temple.

Although Fa Hai's two junior disciples are far more valued than Fa Hai in the temple, they have never alienated or despised Fa Hai because of his uselessness. It can be said that among the many Dalin disciples, the three junior brothers are a small group who share weal and woe.

Fahai's master, Zen Master Wudu, was a strange man. Not only did he give his disciples names that were fresh and refined, but he was also very creative when he was a monk. He even went so far as to marry a wife. He was very creative.

Fahai's master's wife is a kind middle-aged woman. As for the name, Fahai has no memory. She always calls her Master's wife. Master's wife is also the person closest to Fahai. She takes great care of Fahai.

I want to kiss my mother-in-law.

There is another point that Fahai has the most profound memory from his previous life, that is, his master was very...very afraid of his master's wife.

…

The dormitory where Brother Fahai lives is in the courtyard of Zen Master Wudu. There are only three entrances to the courtyard. Although it is not large, it is very quiet and warm. There are two old plum trees planted in the door and there is a small pool.

, walking among them gives people a feeling of a paradise with high sky and clear clouds.

Fa Ke led Fa Hai through the front hall and came to a rather elegant Zen room at the back of the courtyard. However, he did not rush in. Instead, he reminded in a low voice, "Master encountered something annoying today and was in a bad mood.

Senior brother, when you answer for a moment, be sure not to offend him."

"What can upset our master?" Fa Hai was stunned and asked curiously.

"Isn't Master the Master of the Supervisory Academy of our House of Commons? This morning, two masters from the side sect came from the southern states. They said they were here to discuss Taoism. They talked to Master for a long time, saying that we should stop believing in Buddha and believe in Allah. Really.

It’s funny, as if we really believe in Buddha…”

"What's the point? Just drive them away." Fahai was stunned.

"What do you know? These strange sects from overseas are all stubborn. If you don't agree with them, they won't leave. Master argued with them all morning and couldn't drive them away. It would be too much to beat them.

They were so ungraceful that we had to let them live in the lower courtyard."

While he was talking, a strong aroma of meat came from the Zen room, making Fake's mouth water and he sniffed fiercely.

"Amitabha, are they Xiaohai and Xiaoke? Come in." Zen Master Wudu's somewhat tired voice reached the ears of Fahai and Fahai through the wooden door.

Xiaohai, Xiaoke, and Xiaoer are the nicknames of Fahai and his three brothers. Of course, only the master and his wife can call him that. If it were anyone else, the three brothers would definitely slap him to death without any discussion.

Following closely behind Fa Ke, Fahai walked into Wudu's Zen room with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity. He found that a small square table had been placed on the Zen bed. The aroma of meat on the table was fragrant. Zen Master Wudu and his wife

He Faer was sitting around the table, leaving two empty seats just waiting for them to come in and have dinner.

This scene makes Fa Hai feel warm, but beyond the warmth, it is more absurd. If you are in the mountain village of Nodo, facing this situation and scene may give people the warmth of home, but this is the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.

Monk Temple!

"Xiaohai, what are you stunned for? Why don't you hurry up and have dinner?" Seeing Fahai in a daze, the teacher's wife greeted him again.

Although he had a deep impression of Zen Master Wudu and his wife in his memory, Fahai still took a closer look at this controversial teacher.

Zen Master Wudu, in his own words, is that there is no limit to the sea of ​​suffering and the other shore is boundless. He can neither cross others nor himself. If he does not cross, he can achieve great freedom for a lifetime, so he calls himself Wudu. Approximate age of Zen Master Wudu

Around fifty, he looks like a typical eminent monk, at least on the surface.

Look at his face:

The sky is plump, the head is shiny, and the top of the head is slightly raised like a bun. It is said that only the enlightened monks who uphold or teach people to uphold the Ten Good Dharma have this appearance. Of course, Fahai knows that this is shaved three times a day, and he is shaved by his wife every other day.

The result of beating.

The eyelashes are even and not messy, the eyes are like green lotuses, the wisdom eyes are like torches, and the divine light shines between opening and closing, as if they can see through the world of mortals. It is said that only those who have given to beggars with loving hearts and kind eyes in life can have this appearance. But according to the master's wife,

, In fact, Zen Master Wudu's eyesight is not good, and he often recognizes the wrong person from a few feet away. This pair of "enchanted electric eyes" that make the hearts of female Tan Yue jump, is purely superficial.

The cheeks are plump, the expression is calm and composed, and the corner of the mouth is lightly holding a mysterious smile like a Buddha holding flowers, giving people an unpredictable and profound feeling. It is said that this look can only be seen by those who have eliminated the sins of hundreds of generations. Of course.

, Fahai also knows that this is the result of practicing in front of the bronze mirror for at least half an hour every day for decades.

The ears and shoulders hang down, which is very different from other people. This appearance can destroy countless sins and is a sign of good fortune and longevity. Of course, this is actually the credit of the master's wife. She will pull them up at least ten times a day. As time goes by, they will naturally droop.

.

The shoulders are plump and round, the figure is upright, and he is kneeling on the bed, like a sacred mountain chime stone, eternal. Of course, Fahai knows that this is the result of the master's practice of kneeling on the Buddha during the day and the master's wife at night.

There is nothing long on the body, only a yellow cloth monk's robe. Although it has been washed and turned white, and the clothes are knotted, they are spotless, showing the solemnity of the Dharma in the simplicity and shabby appearance.

Fahai shook his head. Last year, the temple issued a brand-new monk's robe. The master said that he would not wear it. He had to ask his wife to wash it until the color faded. He also poked a few holes with scissors and sewed it up before he was happy.

I like to wear it and go out to show it to the donors.
