When Monk Jidian went crazy and chose to save ordinary people from suffering and accumulate merit, Zen Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple showed some disapproval.

Fa Hai also cultivated merits, subjugated demons, and suppressed evil spirits, but he rarely went around to rescue specific people like J Dian. What he often did was to educate sentient beings, give out rice and porridge, and at the same time cultivate people in the temple.

Warrior monks and lay disciples are used to maintain local peace.

At the same time, he promoted Buddhism. Every third month, he would lead a group of disciples to pray for alms and learn about the specific sufferings of the people.

He can heal patients and slay demons, but he can't help some people who are hungry and cold. This is what the court needs to do. If Jinshan Temple can sell porridge on credit in winter, it can be considered as his best effort. For

If you can't do it, don't force it.

This seems to be contrary to the compassionate heart of monks, but it is Fahai's consistent purpose.

In Zhenjiang, which is a hundred miles in radius, the people are less greedy and less violent, and the officials are less vicious. All of this has a great relationship with the education of Jinshan Temple.

Logically speaking, just looking at Fa Hai's actions, he is far less humane than J Dian, but in terms of benefiting the people and promoting Buddhism, J Dian is far inferior.

Even if Jidian is busy working all day long, saving this one today and that one tomorrow, even if he is given ten years, he will not be able to save a few people, but Fahai has benefited all living beings, and there are countless living people, which naturally makes people feel respected.

Intentional, subtle, and converting fans, this aspect is not even a little bit better than Jidian.

What's more, Jidian, as a monk, showed supernatural powers, giving people the psychological suggestion that "this monk has great supernatural powers, so he must be an Arhat". He also deliberately made friends with the powerful ministers of the dynasty and became a substitute monk for the prime minister, in order to expand his prestige.

, and at the same time, he also accepted gangsters as his disciples, and in the martial arts world he also made people publicize the power of Jigong Living Buddha.

It can be seen from his actions that he is extremely selfish and goes against the principles of Buddhism. He has been an Arhat for many years, but he is still an Arhat. Fahai has been practicing for a shorter period of time than him, but now he has touched the Buddha's status. This is

The gap inside is so big that it cannot be calculated based on calculation.

"Two senior brothers, what I give you is my experience of practicing for many years. If you don't give up, please study it carefully. It should be of some use."

Zen Master Fahai said a few words to Li Xiuyuan and Puzhao, nodded to them, and went straight into the Zen room for retreat.

Three days later, he left seclusion and left all the Buddhist instruments such as the Qinglong Zen staff, the red cassock, the purple gold alms bowl, and the rosary beads in the temple. He changed into gray linen clothes and barefoot mango shoes. After bidding farewell to the disciples in the temple, he took a big step forward.

, went straight to Hangzhou city.

He did not use any magical powers during this walk. He asked for food when he was hungry, drank water from mountain springs and rivers when he was thirsty, and ate some wild fruits to survive. He walked slowly like this. After seven days, he arrived at the door of Yang Xingzhou's residence. He saluted respectfully and said

: "Fahai meets the teacher!"

Yang Xingzhou laughed loudly, let him enter the house, and gave him a prophecy: "You have been practicing for thousands of years, and your nature will be the same. Once you have enlightenment, you will finally achieve enlightenment. In the future, you will be counted as the Everlasting Majestic Buddha and the first Buddha in the future."

, to save Maitreya, and send another branch to enlighten the ascetics."

Fahai bowed to the ground and saluted: "Thank you so much, Master, for your prophecy! Please give me your words."

Yang Xingzhou pondered slightly and said: "The future is infinitely variable, mostly due to materialistic desires. Yesterday I crossed the river and abandoned my boat, but saw that the river was heading west. My mind is bright and not dark, and I don't care about the worries of the world. I see the flowers blooming and plan more, and the flowers blooming and see me free.

.”

Fa Hai was delighted and said, "Thank you so much, Master, for your words."

Yang Xingzhou said: "Just go."

Fahai left Hangzhou and rushed to Fengdu City. He walked around the city, recited the mantra of rebirth, and cooperated with the emperor of Fengdu to suppress the evil spirits and cleanse the underworld.

After a lot of work, I got the blessing from Emperor Fengdu, so I went straight to the heaven to pay homage to the Jade Emperor and received his reward. Then I came to the foot of Lingshan Mountain and climbed step by step, removing all my magical power. I climbed for seventeen days and finally reached the top.

On the mountain, the clothes are in rags and the hair is unkempt.

The Golden-crested Immortal had already come to greet him and said with a smile: "Junior brother, follow me!"

Fahai then followed the Golden Summit Immortal to the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, jumped into the pool, and washed his body and mind. When he came out of the pool and arrived at the Great Leiyin Temple, thousands of Buddhas in the temple were chanting, and golden lotuses surged from the ground to bless Fahai.

At this time, there was another Buddha in heaven and earth, and he was named Eternally Bright Buddha.

Yang Xingzhou predicted that future Buddhas would be saved, and the first one would be Fa Hai.

Because his avatar had a predestined relationship with the Buddha, he naturally performed the act of salvation, which is worthy of his title as the King of Light, Buddha of the Void.

More than three years have passed from the time Fahai left the Yang Mansion to the time he became a Buddha in Lingshan. During these three years, Zhang Yuanding made a northern expedition to the Central Plains, attacking cities and villages all the way to Lin'an.

When Fahai became a Buddha, it was when Zhang Yuanding conquered Lin'an City. On the Lingshan Mountain in the west, people were praising Fahai, but in Lin'an City there was a cloud of sadness and everyone was frightened.

Li Gongfu led his family to the Yang Mansion and asked Yang Xingzhou for advice: "Sir, now the rebels are rebelling and besieging Lin'an. As the chief arrester of Lin'an City, how should I make a decision?"

Yang Xingzhou said: "You are the chief arrester of Lin'an City. You are responsible for the security of the place. If you can keep the people safe and not be bullied by the rebels, it is a meritorious deed."

Li Gongfu said: "My disciple has received the emperor's favor. At this time, can I be loyal to the country?"

Yang Xingzhou smiled and said: "Be loyal to the country? You are loyal to the Zhao family, how can you be loyal to the country? Yue Fei is loyal to the country, what will happen to him in the end?"

Li Gongfu said: "What will happen if the rebels come and want to harm the people?"

Yang Xingzhou said: "Don't worry, my Yuan Ding'er's team will never dare to disturb the place when they enter the city. If he dares to let it go, let's see what I do."

Li Gongfu suddenly realized in his heart: "It is said that Zhang Yuanding is Mr. Zhang's beloved disciple, and it is indeed true. With Mr. here, Zhang Yuanding's rebels really do not dare to go too far. But as an old minister of my homeland, how will he deal with us?"

Yang Xingzhou said: "Of course, we need to find out his life history, punish him when he deserves it, and kill him when he deserves it. You are the chief arrester of Lin'an City, your cultivation is profound, and you are powerful in the world. Even my Yuan Ding'er admires you very much."

.”

A few years ago, Zhang Yuanding led his troops to Ancheng to assassinate the king. He fought several moves with Li Gongfu, but they could not decide the winner, but they all had admiration for him.

This time when Zhang Yuanding attacked Lin'an City, he prayed privately to Yang Xingzhou, hoping that Yang Xingzhou could mediate and make Li Gongfu submit to the rebel army, and that he would definitely leave a good position for Li Gongfu in the future.

Li Gongfu said: "I also admire King Zhang's skills very much. If he hadn't taught me martial arts, it would have been difficult for me to survive under his hands."

When Zhang Yuanding assassinated Wang Shajia, he was so ruthless that almost none of the imperial masters and imperial guards who intercepted him survived. It was not until Li Gongfu showed up that he could save the situation and block Zhang Yuanding and his party. In addition, there were
