"When you go to Shenjing, stay at the King Kong Temple annex."
"yes."
"Don't want to return to secular life?" Huinan said with a smile: "This is a shortcut. A certain master discovered this shortcut back then and almost succeeded!"
"Then no one will try again?"
Fakong immediately knew the founder, entered and exited three times, and finally almost achieved the first level.
"Hey, I didn't have enough concentration, so I didn't return to secular life in the end." Huinan shook his head: "If you beat a dog with a meat bun, you will never come back!"
Fakong smiled.
Huinan snorted: "This is a shortcut, and it is also a dangerous move. How many people are lost in the world of mortals and can't extricate themselves. I believe they will regret it when they die, hating themselves for not being able to transcend, giving up halfway, Yipin!"
Fakong said: "Master, I may not regret it. After all, the road to transcendence is too dangerous. Instead of climbing in vain, it is better to enjoy the beauty of the world of mortals!"
Huinan said coldly: "It's just a short moment, just a blink of an eye."
Fakong said: "It's better to be as gorgeous as fireworks once than to live in silence for a lifetime, right? This is what many people pursue."
"……ridiculous!"
Fakong Heshi: "The most tempting thing is to stay in this world forever and enjoy the beauty of the world to the fullest... Master, don't worry, I will not return to secular life, but I will also cultivate the magical power of indestructibility."
"Humph." Huinan waved his hand: "If you don't want to return to the secular world, then don't regret it... you can't have an idle meal even if you go to another courtyard."
"Um--?"
"Ahem, the situation in the other courtyard is not good." Huinan coughed twice, showing an uncomfortable look: "Our martial arts in Vajra Temple are good, but Buddhism..."
Fakong nodded, indicating that he understood.
If the Prajna vehicle is cut off, how can we still teach Buddhism?
Huinan hummed: "One hundred and eight temples in Daxue Mountain, Shangjiu Temple and Zhongjiu Temple all have the right to set up separate temples in Shenjing to promote Buddhism."
"No wonder we want to compete for the title of the Nine Temples among the Nine Temples." Fakong nodded.
He actually knew it from Hui Wen.
"In addition to the monasteries in the Daisetsu Mountains, there are also some other temples. In short, there are many temples in Shenkyo."
Fakong continued to nod.
"Some of them are really eminent monks with exquisite Buddhist teachings." Huinan shook his head and said: "We old guys are not as good as us, so the other courtyard of our Vajra Temple is not very prosperous and the incense is not strong."
"It doesn't matter, right?" Fakong said.
Huinan snorted: "Do you think this is only about the face of our Vajra Temple?"
Fa Kong was all ears and listened attentively.
"Where do our disciples from Vajra Temple come from?"
"..."
Fakong really doesn’t know.
In Hui Wen's memory, there was a dispute between the Shangjiu Temple and the Nine Temples, but there was no trace of where the disciples of Kongang Temple came from.
Fakong himself was rescued by Yuanzhi and was brought directly to the temple, just like Zhou Yang and Zhou Yu.
Others don't know.
As far as he knew, most of them did not enter the temple when they were young, but entered the temple in their youth, like Faning, Faji and others, who were all sixteen or seventeen years old.
"In the city of Shenjing, disciples who want to join our Vajra Temple must first enter the other courtyard, and the other courtyard will conduct a selection process. Only if their character is good enough and their qualifications are good enough can they enter our main temple."
"If you don't want to worship in our temple, don't we have to rob him?" Huinan snorted.
Fakong suddenly realized.
This is similar to the schools in the previous life. They all wanted to attract high-quality students, so they vigorously promoted it.
Although the three major sects all have huge imperial-granted lands, these places are not suitable for ordinary people to live in.
Like the Snowy Mountains, ordinary people can only live at the foot of the mountains, forming villages one after another. The area is remote and has nothing to do with prosperity. Of course, it cannot attract enough people.
Of course, the three major sects also have spheres of influence, and some vassal sects will provide highly qualified disciples to the three major sects.
But these people are all free. They can worship the Snow Mountain Sect, the Tianhai Sword Sect, or the Guangming Holy Sect.
Just because you are in one party's sphere of influence, you cannot join the other party. The choice is still yours.
More importantly, there are more detailed divisions after which party you join.
Like the Eighteen Peaks of Guangming Holy Sect and the One Hundred and Eight Temples of Daxueshan Sect.
Even if you worship in Daxueshan Sect, why not worship in Daleiyin Temple, why should you worship in Kongang Temple?
This requires the ability of each temple to build a sufficient reputation.
If the reputation is not enough, there will be fewer and fewer disciples. The fewer disciples, the lower the reputation will be, and it will gradually decline.
Among the 108 temples, many temples that fall behind are like this.
It is said that there are one hundred and eight temples, but in fact the real strength of Daxueshan Sect is Shangjiu Temple and Zhongjiu Temple. They are the main force guarding Daxueshan.
Other temples also have top experts, but they are often not very crowded and need to work together.
If a monastery that has fallen behind wants to counterattack, it must gather its limited strength and carefully cultivate a top disciple. With amazing talent and fame, it can attract more disciples and revive the monastery.
There are too many variables in the ups and downs of the One Hundred and Eight Temples. It is precisely because of the fierce competition that the Daxueshan Sect maintains its vitality.
Thinking of this, Fakong nodded slowly: "Master, how many people are there in the other courtyard, and what should I do?"
"Hmm..." Huinan thought for a while, but still kept punching, and said slowly: "There are four in total."
"Four?!" Fakong suspected that he heard wrongly.
Huinan shook his head: "There is no incense, and what's the use if there are too many people? It's better to stay over there than at the Vajra Temple, I don't even want to go."
"What about the abbot?"
"If you go, you will be the abbot."
"Master, couldn't you be joking?"
"The four of them are responsible for cleaning and keeping the other courtyards from ruin." Huinan shook his head and said, "The disciples in our temple are all good at practicing martial arts and neglecting the Dharma."
Fakong shook his head: "Among the disciples of the temple, can't you find anyone who understands Buddhism? And there are also elders."
"Which elder is willing to go there?" Huinan said with a smile: "People like to be clean when they are old, and they find it too noisy. Oh, by the way, the other courtyards are all built in Shenjing City, not outside the city.
In the middle of a busy city.”
Fa Kong sighed.
Huinan smiled: "With the Buddhist mantra, you can easily gain fame, and then our Vajra Temple disciples will increase greatly!"
Fakong said: "Which grade...?"
"Of course Yipin, among those four people, will not come out to preach Buddhism."
"...Okay." Fakong nodded: "Then after a while..."
"Don't wait for a while, go there as soon as possible." Huinan said: "Our current situation is not good. We are about to be squeezed out of Shangjiu Temple. There are many geniuses in Feitian Temple now, and we must not be overwhelmed by them!"
"It won't take more than an hour and a half."
"Fakong, you are not allowed to regret this matter."
"Master, I always feel that something is not right."
"That's right. I am your master, can I still harm you?"
"It's really a good thing, isn't it?"
"There will definitely be someone in charge, don't worry!"
"...After a while, Dayong will attack Mingyue Temple this time and see what the result is."
"Um--?"
"Master, in addition to Buddhist mantras, I also have some supernatural powers, which sometimes work but sometimes don't work."
"Good boy!" Huinan said angrily: "You have kept it a secret! ...What kind of magical power? Heavenly eyesight? Heavenly ears, other's mind, fate, or divine feet?"
"Have clairvoyance."
"The eyes of the sky can penetrate time and space, and can see the future and the distance. Come and take a look at me and see how our temple is doing."
"I haven't seen it for too long." Fakong said: "I just saw it and found that Master is in good health and has no illness or disaster."
"Then Dayong never attacked our Kongang Temple again?"
"Not within a month."
"Then let's go help Mingyue Temple." Huinan said solemnly: "These guys are really crazy, they actually bully women!"
Fakong used his clairvoyance again to take a look at him.
This time, he frowned.
Huinan's eyes widened: "Can't I go to Mingyue Temple to help?"
"Master, it's best not to go." Fakong nodded.
From the fragment of Huinan's future, he saw that Huinan had been punched hard by a first-level master, vomiting blood, and was seriously injured. If the abbot Hui'an hadn't saved him, he would have almost died.
The gap between the second grade and the first grade is indeed beyond imagination, it is crushing.
"Am I going to die?"
"Almost dead." Fakong nodded.
He felt that clairvoyance was not good at all. Once it was revealed, it would affect the future, and he had to look at it again.
This time it was used twice on Huinan.
If you can't do one well, you may even have to perform it three, four or more times.
Fortunately, I am rich in faith now. I had never met eighteen women before, but I couldn't bear to do this.
"...Are your clairvoyance accurate?" Huinan hummed.
Fakong said: "Master, let's forget it and don't show off."
"You bastard!" Huinan punched him.
Fakong did not dodge, and let him hit his chest. With a "bang", he flew out of the yard and over the wall.
Fakong tithes in the air: "Disciple, please leave."
He took advantage of the situation and drifted away.
The smile on Huinan's face slowly faded, and she frowned in thought.
He was wondering whether Kong's clairvoyance was accurate, whether he should stay in the temple obediently, or go and help Mingyue Temple, but now Daleiyin Temple also needed help.
——
As soon as he returned to Medicine Valley, he saw Xu Zhijian standing in the Yingxin Pavilion waiting for him.
Still wearing a black robe, still looking extremely ugly.
He was staring at Zhou Yang and Zhou Yu who were practicing martial arts not far away.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Yu are both practicing horse steps, the most basic skills.
They are still young and mainly focus on laying the foundation.
Fakong felt that his ugly face was particularly friendly, so he smiled and stepped forward to join him: "Brother Xu, why are you here so quickly?"
"Alas——!" Xu Zhijian shook his head: "I'm really too shameless to see anyone!"
Fakong looked at him with a smile.
Xu Zhijian said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that there would be a villain like Zhaixinglou right under my nose. Fortunately, you found out this time, otherwise..."
He has seen too much evil, but he is not numb. He hates villains like Zhaixinglou extremely.
I just wish I didn't do it myself.
"It's inevitable." Fakong knew what he meant.
Within the sphere of influence of the Holy Sect of Light, there is a sect like Zhaixinglou, but the Holy Sect of Light is completely unaware of it.
This really shouldn't be the case.
In particular, the Holy Religion of Light's resolute attack on darkness makes the existence of Star Reaching Tower even more dazzling.
"A group of people have been dealt with." Xu Zhijian's face turned ashen as water: "As soon as they got a higher position, they just focused on enjoying themselves, forgot their duties, and slacked off!"
Fakong nodded.
There is no intercession for these people.
It is precisely because of their inaction that so many families have suffered, and it is indeed unfair for them to continue to hold high positions.
