Chapter 30: Epiphany in the Temple

"Boy, the exercise method has been found, but the cultivation is a bit harsh", Lin Hai was absorbing the aura, and suddenly Shi Lao's voice came.

"Any special requests?" When Lin Hai heard that there was an exercise in this area, he immediately stopped practicing.

"It says that you need an earth elemental body to be able to cultivate, and the elemental value must reach 80," Shi Lao replied.

"What is the earth element, it has to reach 80, don't I have it", Lin Hai was a little anxious when he heard this condition, how many elements are in this person, and what is the content, I really don't know how to measure it.

"You must have it, but it's really hard to say whether it has reached this value, there is a test stone in the cultivation world that can do it, but now I don't have it", Master Shi was quite depressed.

"Why don't I practice first", Lin Hai felt that there was no earth element, as long as he cultivated, he would know everything, and he would be able to cultivate if he had it, and he would not be able to cultivate if he didn't.

"No, this exercise is inherited, it's useless to use it once, in case you can't do it, there won't be any hope, let's think of a way" Shi Lao objected, and said that the exercise is inherited, Lin Hai is right to think about it, anyway, the treasure is underground, and he is not in a hurry. I didn't speak.

"Hai Tsai, let's go shopping tomorrow?" During the meal, the fat man said to Lin Hai and the monkey, saying that he has grown so big, Lin Hai has really never been to K City, and he agreed with the fat man's suggestion, some time ago, he was either practicing or studying, and it was rare to come to K City, so it was better to go out and relax, so he agreed to the fat man's proposal.

The next day, the fat man, the monkey, Lin Hai, and Fang Yuting plus a driver left the villa, and the car drove to the other end of the city.

"Brother, today we will go to Chanhua City first, the scenery there is very beautiful, and I heard that it is also very spiritual to worship the Buddha and ask for a sign over there", before Lin Hai asked where to go, Fang Yuting introduced it first, compared to the fat man and Lin Hai, Fang Yuting, who has been following Fang's father, has become a local pass, and where to play is arranged by her, seeing that the three of them did not object, Fang Yuting happily instructed the driver to go to Chanhua Temple first

As a tourist attraction, the temple is very strong in incense, there are many people who pray to God and worship Buddha, and there are pilgrims who kneel and worship three times, and their eyes are full of sincerity. Lin Hai opened all his sense of touch, and felt the slightest trace of aura, although it was less, but compared to many places, it was too much, Lin Hai even felt a kind of coercion from all beings, Lin Hai heard Shi Lao say that this is the power of faith, which is very beneficial to the cultivation of Buddhism, however, there is no trace of this lot of mental power being digested, and it is thought that the cultivation of Buddhism is also lost.

Standing in front of the Tianwang Palace, Lin Hai looked at the enshrined Maitreya Buddha, but saw, this Buddha faced the mountain gate, sat on the ground, shouldered a cloth bag, held a bowl in his hand, and there was a couplet in front of the shrine: Carry an empty cloth bag every day, have little rice and no money, but have a big belly and empty intestines, I don't know what to worship when I have confidence. Every year when he is unpopular, he picks up Zhang Yingli, and he always sees him happy, and asks this head, what is the reason for the pride. Lin Hai looked at this couplet, but his mind entered a state of emptiness, what is the reason for the pride? Lin Hai muttered this sentence, and his eyes were full of Buddha-nature compassion, great non-demand, great compassion, great responsibility, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, the Buddha's pride is to spread compassion, the Buddha saves the world, faith is enshrined by the people, and grace is the shadow of the world. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, Lin Hai since carrying the black stone ring, the ability is getting bigger and bigger, but he is more grateful for family and friendship, and he feels more and more responsible for maintaining his own intentions. There seemed to be a trace of enlightenment passing through his brain, and Lin Hai suddenly felt that the aura around his body increased, but he unconsciously improved his cultivation by one level, reaching the eighth level of qi refining, and this sudden benefit made Lin Hai more and more interested in this temple.

"Amitabha", a Buddha horn came into Lin Hai's ears, and an old monk in a gray robe folded his hands and looked at Lin Hai with exquisite eyes.

"The donor looks at the word and enters enlightenment, the Buddha nature is transcendent, I don't know if the donor can get married, give up the fasting tea to serve, the old man wants to communicate with the donor about some of the confusion", the monk invited Lin Hai to chat privately, Lin Hai thought about the benefits in the people's house, it was not easy to refuse, and the fat man explained to them, asked them to look around, and they came by themselves.

The old monk came to a dormitory in the backyard, and the old monk made tea with his own hands.

"I don't know what the donor is called?" The old monk poured Lin Hai a cup of tea, sat down and asked.

"Just call me Lin Hai" Lin Hai has been in a very quiet mood since he entered the temple, and he answered the old monk's questions without hurrying.

"Lao Ji Kong, here has been half a year, but only to see the Lin donor into the temple to have enlightenment, all living beings come here to ask, ask the Buddha to ask for money, health, marriage career, mostly to offer incense and kneel to beg, seek scenery to comfort the tired eyes, elegant, show off, compare and compete, all disturb the quiet and deceive the Buddha. I look at the donor, but my heart is unwavering, my eyes have no desire, and I don't know what to do when I enter the temple?" While Jikong was feeling it, he was even more curious about Lin Hai.

"The master is serious, everyone has what they want, and I must be too, but I will not seek external objects such as a Buddha, a sign and a Zen, I seek space to be quiet, air to be clean, and soul to be peaceful, so I don't serve incense, let alone shoot. Lin Hai then said.

"Well, what the donor asks for is ignored by the people of the world today, and it is also there if it is not asked, what my generation asks, but it is not allowed to enter, everything in the world, it is said that there is a fate but there is no fate, it is said that there is no reason but it is not realized and lost, the donor has a fate and an understanding, and the deep fear of understanding is also the weight of responsibility, but there is also a fate is not as good as no fate, Amitabha!" The monk said a Zen language, and Lin Hai seemed to understand it or not, and he was very depressed, and he wanted to ask, the monk had lowered his eyebrows, but he no longer took care of Lin Hai, and Lin Hai had to leave. The monk opened his eyes and looked at Lin Hai's back, his eyebrows tightened.

"Senior brother, is it him?" asked a chubby monk who was also wearing a gray robe and looked at the somewhat confused old monk as he came in from outside.

"I can't see it, there seems to be something on him that shields my detection, and I can't feel the kind of breath depicted by the ancestor on him, but the "first person to have an epiphany in front of the Buddha" is really what he did, but this phenomenon of "turning over the river and the sea like a rainbow" has not appeared, this is not sure, junior brother, how do you say this should be?" The old monk Jikong looked at his junior brother in confusion.

"No matter, the first one has been reached, this first person is not running, the ancestor left to protect the road for him, it means that he still belongs to the growth period, and other aspects are afraid that it will not be fulfilled in the future, but it is not a big thing, or arrange for the disciple to secretly assist first" The fat man thought that the senior brother was too like.

"Okay, Jiming, it's up to you to take three disciples to follow and protect it secretly, but you must not have direct contact with it, and before you reach the image, its worldly affairs must not be disturbed", the old monk ordered, and the fat monk agreed to go out and make arrangements.

And Lin Hai was hanging out with the fat man at this time. What he didn't know was that at some point, there were a few more monks around them who were sweeping the floor, cutting flowers, and doing the whole way, and their eyes looked at Lin Hai and them from time to time.
