In the depths of winter, on the warm kang, Zen Master Lingyu said to Fahai: "Fahai! Your cultivation has surpassed that of a teacher, and you are very pleased to be a teacher. Now there is nothing to teach you as a teacher, and you have to walk on your own in the future, you must know that there is a heaven outside the sky, and you must not be arrogant and have no one in your eyes. As the saying goes, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, and it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read countless people. I think you still travel all over the world, and if you get in touch with more people and things, you will definitely be able to gain something. ”

Master's meaning is to separate from Fahai! This situation is a little sour. A few years ago, Fahai might have burst into tears and threw himself into Master's arms. Now the Fahai has already been pure, and if you are dedicated to the Buddha, you will not shed tears.

Fahai nodded and responded, "Fahai will listen to Master's teachings. ”

Going out on a long trip doesn't care about one day, Fahai originally wanted to spend a few more days with his master and his senior brother and brother. But when people become famous, there are more trivial things. Not long after Fahai came out of the customs, the deeds spread out, and for a while, the monks and laymen inside and outside the temple came to ask closely, not to mention how annoying it was.

Zen Master Lingyu was ruthless and said, "Fahai, you can leave now!" ”

The master has spoken to people, and Fahai doesn't dare not listen!

So, Fahai left the temple where he had lived for ten years and embarked on an unknown journey.

Before Fahai left, his master, Zen Master Lingyou, gave him six Buddhist holy weapons: the Optimus Zen Staff carefully crafted from the 10,000-year-old Xuantie; The magic sound of the magic weapon of subduing demons and subduing demons is golden cymbals, and the golden cymbals strike each other, which can send out the magic sound of ingesting the demons' hearts, so that the demons can be avoided, and you can also throw out and kill the demons, or you can put the demons into the golden cymbals; The holy robe that is invulnerable to all demons and invulnerable; The Buddha beads are made of the fruit of the Bodhi tree that the Buddha sat on when he visited Zen; Engraved with spell words, it can make the monster appear in its original form and subdue the demon seal; The vajra, which is invincible and indestructible and has Buddha nature, and can cut off all kinds of troubles and destroy all kinds of obstacles and demons, is said to be made by the bones of the ancient monks of the Three Kingdoms and the First Enlightenment.

The six Buddhist sacred vessels given to Fahai by Zen Master Lingyu are the treasures of Weishan Temple, and they are rare treasures in the entire Buddhist world. Zen Master Lingyu was able to give these five treasures to Fahai, which shows how much he values Fahai. Don't forget that Fahai was only in his early thirties at that time, and he was a very "tender" monk.

Fahai travels along the river and travels all over the famous mountains and rivers along the river. Fahai is not as simple as looking at the scenery, every time you go to a temple, the monks in the humble temple will chant and share the Buddhist scriptures. In addition, Fahai has also done a lot of good deeds, subduing many hurtful demons.

Half a year has passed since the negligence, and Fahai has slept in the open air and has come to Lushan in today's Jiangxi Province.

Lushan is a good place, standing in the plain, a bit of the meaning of Mount Tai in Lu Province.

There is a small town at the foot of Lushan Mountain, and there are thousands of people. The inhabitants of the town originally lived a prosperous life and did not fight with the world. However, in recent years, there has been a troublesome thing in the town, people often go up the mountain to collect medicine and go missing, and the livestock they feed are also lost, or bitten to death. The government also inquired about the matter, but could not find a single reason.

The people of the town were panicked, and no one dared to go up the mountain to collect medicine anymore. The government also explicitly forbade it to go up the mountain without permission, otherwise you will bear the consequences of the accident.

Fahai came to the small town of Lushan and learned about it.

After all, Fahai had seen the world, and thought that there must be a demon on the mountain, and it was not an ordinary demon.

That night, Fahai climbed the mountain alone, despite the resistance of the townspeople.

Fahai guessed correctly, there is indeed a demon on the mountain, a snake spirit who has been cultivating in white for more than a thousand years.

On the top of Lushan, Fahai and White Snake had a big fight. This battle can be described as earth-shattering, and it is the most difficult battle Fahai has fought since his debut. Eventually, Fahai injured the White Snake with the Optimus Staff and the Demon Seal.

The White Snake knew that the enemy was not strong in the sea, and occupied and retreated, and fled into Poyang Lake and then into the Yangtze River.

Fahai did not give up, followed the footsteps of the white snake spirit all the way, and chased it all the way to the Yangtze River section of Jiangdong Province, Jiangdong Province, and lost the footprints of the white snake spirit.

The white snake escaped into the mountains and forests by the river and hid, no wonder Fahai couldn't find it.

If the white snake is not removed, Fahai will not be able to sleep and eat. In the land of the mountains and forests where the white snake spirit escaped, Fahai also settled there, and Ren Fahai couldn't imagine that his foothold was his life.

Dense mountain forests, towering hills, and a dilapidated ancient temple are particularly conspicuous, and Fahai settled here to meditate.

Fahai also later learned about the road, this mountain is called Fushan, the temple where he settled was called Zexin Temple in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once the incense was at its peak, and there were hundreds of monks. In the barren smoke and vines of the dense forest, Zen Master Fahai accidentally found the ruined Buddha.

Fahai was filled with emotion and vowed to rebuild the dojo and establish Garan for all sentient beings.

After that, Fahai dug the fields alone, worked hard, and gradually won the support of the local people and the government.

With the help of the people, the pace of construction of the temple accelerated, and soon it began to take shape.

After the temple was built, according to the meaning of Fahai, it was still called Zexin Temple. Coincidentally, when digging the foundation, Zen Master Fahai accidentally dug up a batch of treasures, gold and silver, pearls and agate, which are worth a lot of money. Zen Master Fahai did not take the treasure for himself, but handed it over to the local Taishou. Taishou was deeply moved, and presented the matter to the emperor. The Yellow Emperor at that time was Tang Xuanzong, a Yellow Emperor who was okay. Tang Xuanzong was also moved, and the imperial decree allocated the treasures directly to the temple as a court offering, built the temple, and named the temple Baoshan Zen Temple.

The "treasure" of Baoshan Temple is derived from the story of Fahai's "treasure hunting". And Fahai Zen Master also rightly became the first ancestor of Baoshan Zen Temple.

It is worth mentioning that Baoshan Temple is located in Jiangdong Province, under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong City, somewhere along the river.

In Baoshan Temple, Zen Master Fahai continued to participate in meditation, comprehend the Dharma, and his cultivation was also improving day by day.

How old Fahai lived, there is no record in the history books. But it is certain that Fahai lived for a long time, three or four hundred years old, until the Song Dynasty, and it was also the Southern Song Dynasty.

Lived for 400 years? Is it possible?

What does it mean to be possible? What does it mean to be impossible? This world is not as simple as it seems. Buddhists generally live a long life, not to mention that Fahai is a high-ranking monk, similar to a fairy-like figure.

When the law was in the sea cucumber meditation, why did the white snake go?

The White Snake Spirit was not idle, and practiced in retreat, until the Southern Song Dynasty four hundred years later.

The White Snake before the retreat had more than 1,000 years of cultivation, dating back to the Zhou Dynasty. During that time, the White Snake cultivated the Demon Dao, and did a lot of things to mutilate living beings. This must be admitted, although Bai Suzhen's reputation today is that of a good wife and mother. Perhaps the White Snake Spirit had an epiphany in retreat and felt deeply guilty about what he had done before.

Lang Zi turned back and the gold was not exchanged, and the white snake spirit was able to have an epiphany, which is a good thing.
