Chapter 355: Jinghai Temple
The exercises of Buddhism are different from those of Heavenly Dao cultivators, and Fu Long did not say very clearly what the specific difference is.
Because he has been in the Brahma Continent for nearly a hundred years, he has never practiced Buddhist exercises.
In addition, according to Fu Long, there is no sect in the Brahma Continent, but the monastery is in charge of the entire continent.
There are five major monasteries in the Brahma Continent, namely King Kong Temple, Tianlong Temple, Jinghai Temple, Tianyue Temple, and Qingxin Temple.
In addition to the five major monasteries, there are many smaller monasteries and nunnery, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the five major monasteries.
The small temple is the lower and annex of the large temple, and receives the inheritance and instruction of the large temple.
The temple in front of him, Yi Jiuxiao was not sure whether it was a big temple or a small temple.
Everything can only be known until you ask closely, so the three of them finally landed a thousand feet away from the temple.
Looking up at the tall buildings of the temple from above the flat ground is even more spectacular.
The three giant towers are more than 100 zhang high, and the lowest of the four halls are dozens of zhang high.
The farthest hall is the highest, and it is more than 100 zhang, which is really as tall as a cloud.
Regardless of the tower and the hall, it is the eaves and the arch, and the wall is decorated with golden brilliance, and it does not lose its majesty.
In the palace, wisps of green smoke waft from time to time, and it smells very fragrant.
Yi Jiuxiao is no stranger to the temple, there were many temples in the Great Song Dynasty in the previous life, but he rarely went in.
He wanted to see what was the difference between the monasteries in the Brahma Continent and the monasteries in the Great Song Dynasty in the previous life.
After watching from a distance for a while, Yi Jiuxiao took Nizi and Wu to walk towards the temple with the wind.
The temple is surrounded by a red wall that surrounds the entire monastery.
Yi Jiuxiao came to the main entrance of the temple, and saw a gold-lettered plaque two hundred zhang away, with the words "Jinghai Temple" written on it.
Jinghai Temple Fulong said that it is one of the five major monasteries in the Brahma Continent.
No wonder the scale is so huge, and it's not surprising to see that it's a large temple now.
Because there are no countries and great sects in the Brahma Continent, these monasteries are equivalent to great sects or great powers.
The places they manage are far beyond the scope of the management of other continental countries and sects.
Yi Jiuxiao secretly said that he was lucky, and the three of them flew indiscriminately, and they actually came to the door of Jinghai Temple.
But this kind of super big temple, whether they can accept them or not, whether they are willing to teach them or not is difficult to say.
The purpose of their trip was to find a monastery and go in to practice some Buddhist exercises to restrain the ghost Dao exercises.
According to Yi Jiuxiao's idea, it is enough to find a medium-sized temple with complete exercises.
In his opinion, the larger the place, the more complicated it is, and the more difficult it is to cultivate advanced exercises.
For example, the foreign disciples of the Wushan Sect were only registered disciples for the first three years, and they could not learn the Wushan exercises at all.
Even within a hundred years, if you can't become an inner disciple, you won't be able to learn the advanced Wushan exercises.
Few people were as lucky as Yi Jiuxiao and became a personal disciple after three years.
After considering these factors, Yi Jiuxiao looked at the three words of Jinghai Temple and hesitated a little.
He secretly felt that it was not appropriate to come to Jinghai Temple, because he didn't have a lot of time to slowly mix up here.
Just as Yi Jiuxiao hesitated, a monk walked towards them.
This monk Yi Jiuxiao had already seen it, and he saw it from a hundred zhang away, and he had been standing at the main gate of the temple with his palms folded.
In addition to this monk, there is also a monk standing at the main entrance, one on the left and one on the right, in the same posture.
Both of them wore gray monk's robes, shaved their heads, and their outfits and mannerisms were quite similar to those of the monks of the Great Song Dynasty in the previous life.
Yi Jiuxiao sensed the cultivation of the two monks with his divine thoughts, and saw that they were all in the realm of spiritual wisdom.
The cultivation realm of Buddhism is self-contained, which is divided into clear mind, insight, detachment, spiritual wisdom, nirvana, relics, golden body, immortality, and incarnation.
Among them, the realm of clear mind is equivalent to the realm of qi refining of the cultivator, and the realm of spiritual wisdom is equivalent to the realm of the primordial infant of the cultivator.
Cultivators of the Linghui realm can only watch the door in Jinghai Temple, which shows that Jinghai Temple is also extraordinary.
Because Yi Jiuxiao and the three of them were not ready to enter the temple, they never talked to the two monks at the gate of the temple.
I saw this monk come to a place two feet away in front of Yi Jiuxiao, and folded his hands in salute.
Then he said, "Donor, where are you from?"
Yi Jiuxiao also hurriedly clasped his fists in salute and replied, "Master, the three of us are all from the Haotian Continent. ”
"The donor is from the Haotian Continent?"
After being slightly surprised, the monk's face turned happy and said, "The benefactor has come from afar, but he wants to practice in the Brahma Continent?"
"Exactly, we are here to find a monastery to practice. ”
Yi Jiuxiao didn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it, he also wanted to know something from this monk's mouth.
Hearing Yi Jiuxiao's answer, the monk's gaze at him became even more kind.
"Donor, then practice in our Jinghai Temple, our temple is the most authentic Buddhist practice, can be cultivated into the avenue, the donor seems to have just entered the Brahma Continent, the first sight of our Jinghai Temple, this is also fate, our Buddhism is the most particular fate. ”
Yi Jiuxiao was quite amused when he heard it, this monk's cultivation is not high, but his eloquence is quite good.
In the monk's words, it was obvious that he had seen that Yi Jiuxiao and the others had just entered the Brahma Continent, and their eyesight was not simple.
Of course, when Yi Jiuxiao and the three of them were flying just now, they did not cover up or conceal it.
"Oh, I don't know that Jinghai Temple still recruits disciples? I don't want to become a monk, it's just a layman's practice. ”
The monk nodded again and again and said, "Of course I have recruited disciples, and if you are a monk or a monk, I will go in and report to the donor." ”
After finishing speaking, the monk didn't wait for Yi Jiuxiao to answer, and ran into the temple by himself.
When Yi Jiuxiao saw this, he knew that what Fu Long said was true, and all the monasteries in the Brahma Continent were eager to seek talent.
A moment later the monk walked out, along with a yellow-robed monk.
The cultivation of the yellow-clothed monk has been much higher, and he has reached the realm of relics, which is equivalent to the realm of cave void among cultivators.
He came to Yi Jiuxiao's present, and he also folded his hands as a salute.
Then he said: "The donor's surname is Gao, and I am Haiyue, a visiting monk of Jinghai Temple. ”
Yi Jiuxiao replied: "My name is Yi Jiuxiao, and I am from the Haotian Continent. ”
Haiyue saluted again and said: "The donor is coming from afar, Jinghai Temple welcomes you, I heard that you want to practice in Jinghai Temple, please come in and talk with me." ”
Hearing that he was going in, Yi Jiuxiao hesitated slightly, and glanced at Nizi and Wu Suifeng beside him.
But the two daughters didn't speak, and put on a posture that it was completely up to you.
Seeing this, Yi Jiuxiao said to Haiyue: "It's okay, then ask the master to lead the way." ”
The yellow-clothed monk was about to go inside, when he suddenly turned around and said, "Master Yi, these two female donors, please stay, Jinghai Temple has never accepted female disciples." ”
Hearing this, Yi Jiuxiao took back the steps he had taken.
He practiced alone in Jinghai Temple, what should Nizi and Wu Suifeng do, this is obviously inappropriate.
So he said, "Master Haiyue, since your temple does not accept female disciples, then let's go to other temples to practice." ”
Haiyue turned his body around and continued to fold his body and said: "Master Yi, you may not understand the monastic rules of the Brahma Continent, men and women are not allowed to practice together, and monasteries with monks do not accept female disciples, not just Jinghai Temple. ”
"What about the female disciple?
Yi Jiuxiao asked suspiciously, in the previous life, the female disciples of the Great Song Dynasty could practice and become nuns.
Hai Yue immediately understood that what he had just said was not clear, and he hurriedly said: "Female disciples can also practice Buddhism and Taoism, but in the monasteries that exclusively accept female disciples, the Tianyue Nunnery and the Qingxin Nunnery in the Brahma Continent are both monasteries that exclusively accept female disciples, and these two female donors can go there to practice." ”
Yi Jiuxiao nodded and said, "Thank you Master Haiyue for your advice, the three of us will go to Tianyue Nunnery and Qingxin Nunnery." ”
"Master Yi, that's unacceptable!"
Haiyue seemed to be in a hurry, and she spoke loudly.
Yi Jiuxiao was shocked in his heart, could it be that if he couldn't be relied on by this Jinghai Temple today, he had to practice in it?
"What's the matter? Master Haiyue won't let us go?"
Haiyue stabilized her mind slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Yi misunderstood, I mean that Tianyue Nunnery and Qingxin Nunnery do not accept male disciples, and they will not accept them even if you go, donor." ”
Nizi and Mai Suifeng on the side heard the conversation between the two and immediately burst out laughing.
And Yi Jiuxiao was confused at this time, thinking that this was really a troublesome thing, which he didn't expect.
He also knew that in the previous life of the Great Song Dynasty, monks and nuns practiced separately.
However, he thought that the Brahma Continent was a high-level Buddha Dao Continent, and the realm of cultivators was very high, so there should be no such rules.
Who knew that the rules were exactly the same, and they were all over the place!
Do the three of you really have to practice separately?
Suddenly, Yi Jiuxiao had an idea and asked, "Master Haiyue, please ask if there is a temple in the Brahma Continent that recruits both male and female disciples." ”
Hai Yue shook his head very firmly, and said, "As far as the little monk knows, there is no, if there is really such a temple, I am afraid that it is useless to practice Buddhism and Taoism." ”
Just when several people were undecided, a monk dressed in red suddenly walked out of the monastery.
Yi Jiuxiao's divine thoughts were so powerful, he saw it the moment the red-clothed monk appeared.
And he also saw clearly that the cultivation of the red-clothed monk was in the late stage of the golden body, and he should be a master in the temple.
The red-clothed monk did not speak immediately, but looked at Yi Jiuxiao and the others, and after reading it, his face changed greatly.
It's no wonder that the red-clothed monk showed a surprised look on his face, and the cultivation of Yi Jiuxiao and the three of them was too high.
Yi Jiuxiao and Wu Suifeng used Xuanji Jue to convert their cultivation into the late stage of Mahayana, and the cultivation simulated by Nizi was the early stage of mixed yuan.
Jinghai Temple has also recruited many foreign monks, but the highest is only the Mahayana period, and there has never been a strong person in the mixed yuan.
