At the beginning, when the monks of Jidian were crazy and chose to relieve the suffering of ordinary people and accumulate merits, the Fahai Zen master of Jinshan Temple showed a little disdain.

Fahai also cultivates merits, also subdues demons and destroys demons, suppresses demons, but rarely goes around like Ji Dian to rescue a specific person, what he often does is to educate sentient beings, give porridge and rice, and at the same time train monks and lay disciples in the temple to maintain local peace.

At the same time, he preached Buddhism, and every three months, he led a group of disciples to live a life, and by the way, he learned about the specific people's sufferings.

He can heal the sick, can subdue demons and eliminate demons, but for some people who are hungry and cold, he can't help them, this is what the imperial court needs to do, he Jinshan Temple can be regarded as doing his best to make porridge on credit in winter, and he can't do it forcibly.

This may seem contrary to the compassion of the monks, but it is the consistent purpose of Fahai's actions.

The whole Zhenjiang is a hundred miles away, the people are less greedy and less ruthless, and the officials are few fierce and vicious, which has a great relationship with the education of Jinshan Temple.

Logically speaking, judging from Fahai's approach alone, he is far less close to Jidian than Jidian, but in terms of benefiting the people and promoting Buddhism, Jidian is far inferior.

Don't look at Ji Dian who is busy working all day long, saving this today, saving that tomorrow, but even if he is given ten years, he can't save a few people, but Fahai benefits all living beings, and there are countless living people, which naturally makes people feel reverence, imperceptibly, and the fans of the crowd, which is not a little bit stronger than Ji Dian.

What's more, as a monk, Ji Dian revealed his magical powers, causing people to give people a psychological hint that "this monk has great magical powers, and he must be an Arhat", and deliberately befriended the prime minister of the dynasty and became the prime minister to replace the monk, so as to expand his prestige, and at the same time accepted the gangsters as apprentices, and also made people trumpet the power of Jigong Living Buddha in the martial arts.

From what he did, it can be seen that his selfishness is extremely great, contrary to the principles of Buddhism, so that he has been an arhat for many years, and he is still an arhat, and Fahai has been practicing for a shorter time than him, but now he has faintly touched the Buddha's fruition.

"Two senior brothers, what I have given you is my experience of many years of practice, if you don't give up, please also use your heart to understand, it should be of some use."

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

Three days later, he went out of the customs, left the green dragon Zen staff, the big red robe, the purple gold bowl, the rosary and other magic instruments in the temple, changed into a gray linen clothes, barefoot shoes, and said goodbye to the disciples in the temple, took a big stride, and went straight to Hangzhou City.

He walked this time, without any magical powers, hungry to beg for food, thirsty to drink mountain spring and river water, and eat some wild fruits to live, so slowly walking, seven days later, only arrived at the door of Yang Xingzhou's mansion, respectfully saluted, and said: "Fahai to meet the teacher!" ”

Yang Xingzhou laughed, let him enter the mansion, and gave him a note: "You have practiced for thousands of years, your nature is the same, once you have an epiphany, you will eventually achieve positive results." In the future, when the catastrophe is measured, it should be the solemn Buddha of Hengliang, the first Buddha of the future, the degree of Maitreya, another branch, and the glory of Shamen. ”

Fahai threw himself on the ground and saluted: "Thank you for the teachings of the Master!" Please also ask the teacher for advice. ”

Yang Xingzhou groaned slightly and said: "The future is infinitely variable, and most of them are materialistic. Yesterday, I crossed the river and abandoned the light boat, but I saw the big river and went west. The heart is bright and dark, and it is not troubled by red dust. I see the flowers bloom and plan more, and the flowers see me free. ”

Fahai was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your words. ”

Yang Xingzhou said: "You go." ”

Fa Hai Nai left Hangzhou, went to the city of Xudu, walked around the city, recited the mantra of death, cooperated with the Emperor of Xudu, suppressed evil demons, and cleansed the netherworld.

After a busy time, he got the blessing of the Emperor Xudu, so he went straight to the heavenly court, paid homage to the Jade Emperor, and got his reward, and then came to the foot of Lingshan, climbed step by step, removed the magic power of the whole body, and climbed for seventeen days before climbing to the mountain, ragged and unkempt.

The Golden Peak Immortal had already come to greet him, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, come with me!" ”

Fahai followed the Jinding Daxian to the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, jumped into the pool, washed his body and mind, and waited until he came out of the pool, when he came to the Da Lei Yin Temple, the ten thousand Buddhas in the temple sang, and the golden lotus swelled to bless Fahai.

At this time, there is another Buddha in heaven and earth, who is a solemn Buddha.

Yang Xingzhou conferred the future Buddha, the first of which is Fahai.

Because of his relationship with the Buddha, he naturally made a move of moderation, and he is also worthy of his title of the Buddha of the Void and Freedom.

From Fahai leaving Yangfu to his Buddha in Lingshan, it has been more than three years in the world, in these three years, Zhang Yuanding went north to the Central Plains, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, and approached Lin'an.

When Fahai became a Buddha, it was when Zhang Yuanding broke through Lin'an City, and Fahai was praised on the Western Spirit Mountain, but Lin'an City was gloomy and light, and everyone was afraid.

Li Gongfu led his family to the Yang Mansion and asked Yang Xingzhou for advice: "Sir, now that the rebels are rebelling and besieging Lin'an, the disciple is the chief catcher of Lin'an City, how should he choose?" ”

Yang Xingzhou said: "You are the chief catcher of Lin'an City, responsible for the security of a place, and it is a merit to make the people safe and not to be bullied by the rebels." ”

Li Gongfu said: "The disciple has the emperor's grace, at this time, can he be loyal to the country?" ”

Yang Xingzhou said with a smile: "Loyal to the country? You are loyal to the Zhao family, how can you be loyal to the country? Yue Fei was loyal to the country, what happened in the end? ”

Li Gongfu said: "If the righteous army comes and wants to harm the people, what will happen? ”

Yang Xingzhou said: "Don't worry, my Yuan Ding'er's team will never dare to disturb the place when he enters the city, if he dares to let it go, it depends on my means." ”

Li Gongfu suddenly felt in his heart: "It is rumored that Zhang Yuanding is Mr. 's beloved apprentice, and it is true." There is a gentleman, Zhang Yuanding's righteous army, and he really doesn't dare to go too far. It's just that I'm an old minister of my homeland, what will he do with us? ”

Yang Xingzhou said: "Naturally, it is to find out the life history, punish when punished, and kill when killed." You are the head catcher 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 the crowd to come to Ancheng to assassinate the king, and he had a few moves with Li Gongfu, but he never won or lost, but they all admired each other.

This time, Zhang Yuanding attacked Lin'an City, and even prayed to Yang Xingzhou in private, wanting Yang Xingzhou to be in the middle and let Li Gongfu return to the righteous army, and definitely leave a good position for Li Gongfu in the future.

Li Gongfu said: "I also admire King Zhang's skills. If it hadn't been for the martial arts taught me by Mr. at the beginning, it would have been difficult for me to survive under him. ”

At the beginning, Zhang Yuanding assassinated the king and killed him, and he shot extremely ruthlessly, intercepting his inner master and the Imperial Forest Army, and there was almost no one who survived, until Li Gongfu appeared, he held back the decline and blocked Zhang Yuanding and his party, plus there were cultivators to protect the palace and the prime minister's mansion, which made Zhang Yuanding escape from Lin'an City.
