Chapter 1298: The Fahai Zen Master in History
Why is the fourth reason very reasonable?
Let's take a look at a conversation between Fahai and Bai Suzhen before Bai Suzhen was imprisoned in Leifeng Tower.
Fahai: Don't deviate from the norm, don't be attached to Hongchen. As long as the merits are complete, the sun will naturally soar. Bai Suzhen, you have been cultivating for thousands of years, don't you understand this truth? If you want to be born, you must first enter the world, and if you want to get out of the tower, you must first enter the tower. At the moment of enlightenment, you can only move forward and not retreat.
Bai Suzhen: I don't want to be locked up.
Fahai: This is not a prison, this is cultivation.
Bai Suzhen: I don't want to cultivate anymore, I want my officials, I want my son, I want my home.
Fahey: Your home is the prison.
Bai Suzhen: You are a person without a home, you will not understand this.
Fahey: I'm homeless, but I have a heart.
Bai Suzhen: You have a heart but are ruthless, how can you be compassionate?
Fahai: Isn't it great compassion that I helped you ascend to the immortal realm as soon as possible?
Bai Suzhen: I don't want to become an immortal, I just want to be a human being. Why do you want to break up, break up our husband and wife, break up our mother and son? Is it because you are empty of the four majors, so you are jealous of others?
Fahai: How can this be true, Amitabha, the golden armor god, the monk monk, send her to the pagoda now.
At first glance, you may think that Fahai is just fake compassion, and the so-called help to Bai Suzhen's early bench fairy world is just an excuse for him to avenge the revenge of the year.
Bai Suzhen wants to complete her merits and ascend in a hundred days, where does she need Fahai's help?
But in fact, it may not be, because now Bai Suzhen has moved her mortal heart and is greedy for Hongchen, she really can't rely on her own merits and stool to reach the fairy world.
Of course, in the past, Bai Suzhen had this ability, but since she met Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen gradually did not have this ability.
When Bai Suzhen had just turned into a human form, she went to the Emei Golden Peak to ask Guanyin Master to enlighten her.
When Master Guanyin said that she was not over, Bai Suzhen said, "The disciple's heart has been decided, all thoughts are silent, and any dust is willing to give up." ”
At that time, Bai Suzhen was devoted to the Tao and practiced diligently, just to ascend to the immortal realm as soon as possible.
At that time, she naturally had the ability to complete her merits on her own and honor the fairy world.
However, under the guidance of Master Guanyin, after meeting Xu Xian at the broken bridge in West Lake, Bai Suzhen gradually fell in love and left her cultivation behind.
And after Bai Suzhen became pregnant with Xu Xian's child, Xiaoqing was worried that Bai Suzhen would fall forever because she couldn't give up her family affection, and reminded Bai Suzhen many times to repay her kindness, but don't delay her practice.
But at this time, Bai Suzhen couldn't give up the red dust completely, she didn't want to be a fairy anymore, she just wanted to grow old with Xu Xian.
This can also be seen from the conversation between Bai Suzhen and Fahai before entering Leifeng Tower.
For this reason, Bai Suzhen is even willing to pass on all her 1700 years of skills to Xiaoqing, helping Xiaoqing to complete her merits as soon as possible and rank in the immortal class, while she herself stays in the world and lives a sweet and happy life with Xu Xian.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, as the so-called only envy of mandarin ducks and not envy immortals, and the sweetness of being with intimate lovers in the world is indeed more desirable than the lonely immortals.
But there is a problem here, Bai Suzhen is a snake demon who has practiced for thousands of years, not to mention that he can live forever, but his lifespan is at least thousands of years.
And Xu Xian is just a mortal, even if he can live a long life, it will only be a hundred years.
So, after a hundred years, Xu Xian died, what should Bai Suzhen do?
It's good if you can get out of the love network and start anew on the path of cultivation, but if you can't get out of the love network, it will be thousands of years, or even longer, Bai Suzhen is destined to be accompanied by longing and pain.
Then, it is not unreasonable for Fahai to forcibly break up Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, and forcibly leave Bai Suzhen to cultivate in Leifeng Tower, saying that it is to help Bai Suzhen ascend to the immortal realm as soon as possible.
After Bai Suzhen was imprisoned in Lei Feng, Xiaoqing went to Qingfeng Cave to do penance, so that he could find an opportunity to seek revenge in the future, and Xu Xian also went to Jinshan Temple to do penance.
Therefore, it can also be said that while Fahai is in Bai Suzhen, he is also in Xiaoqing and Xu Xian.
And the final result also illustrates the problem, after Bai Suzhen came out of the tower, she flew into an immortal with Xiaoqing and Xu Xian.
Of course, Fahai also flew into an immortal together, and Fahai also saved himself while saving Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Xu Xian.
And the reason why Fahai was able to soar to immortal also happened to prove that he forcibly imprisoned Bai Suzhen in Leifeng Tower, which really helped Bai Suzhen ascend to the heart of the immortal realm as soon as possible.
Because, if Fahai forcibly imprisoned Bai Suzhen in Leifeng Pagoda purely for his own personal grudges, he would obviously not be qualified to become an immortal.
Li Fan agrees with such a reason, and this reason can also explain a problem.
That was a question when Li Fan was young in his previous life, when he watched "The Legend of the New White Lady", Fahai was obviously so bad, why was he able to become an immortal with Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Xu Xian in the end?
After growing up, Li Fan watched "The Legend of the New White Lady" again and slowly found the answer, which is the fourth reason analyzed above.
Of course, this is not to say that Fahai forcibly imprisoned Bai Suzhen in Leifeng Pagoda, without personal grudges at all, and he should also have a personal vendetta, as for the four reasons, who is the master and who is secondary? It is difficult to explain, everyone's views may not be the same.
The above four reasons are all based on the previous life Zhao Yazhi, Ye Tong, and Chen Meiqi's version of the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", not based on the relevant legends of the White Snake, let alone some other film and television works about the Legend of the White Snake.
And Li Fan's "The Legend of the White Lady" launched in this world is adapted from the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady" in his previous life.
So as for why Fahai must be imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda, the reason why Bai Suzhen must be imprisoned is also destined to cause heated discussions among readers in this world.
The first three reasons are obvious, and it is unknown whether the fourth reason will be analyzed and recognized by everyone.
Li Fan pondered that it was certain to be analyzed, but it should be difficult to get everyone's approval.
That's also something that can't be helped, who makes Fahai feel too bad.
However, when it comes to Fahai and Jinshan Temple, Li Fan thinks it is necessary to say a little more.
In the history of the previous life, there was really Fahai Zen Master himself, who was an enlightened monk in the Tang Dynasty and had outstanding achievements in the development of Buddhism.
According to legend, Fahai Zen Master is commonly known as Pei Wende, is the son of Pei Xiu, the Tang Dynasty, he respects his father's will, determined to yearn for Buddhism, first in Jiangxi Lushan to learn Taoism and practice Zen, and then from Lushan down the river to the east, to Zhenjiang Jinshan.
At that time, the Golden Mountain was overgrown with thorns and desolate, and there was a white python entrenched in a cave, which often harmed the Quartet.
Fahai defeated the white python and expelled it into the sea, after which he lived in the cave where the white python was entrenched.
Fahai cultivated here, and opened the mountain to farm, worked hard to revitalize the temple, and created the famous Jinshan Temple, which is the founding patriarch of Jinshan Temple.
The cave where Fahai lived in that year later became a well-known Zen cave, which is a very influential "Fahai Zen Master Meditation Cave", and it is also one of the four famous caves on Jinshan today, Fahai Cave.
It can be seen that in history, Fahai Zen Master is an ascetic and admired by people from all walks of life Jinshan Temple founder Peizu.
