Chapter 19: Lingtai Temple, Fu Nian

“...... Apprentice?!"

"What's going on..."

I have to say that the sudden scene made Chen Yan a little confused. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He didn't understand how the topic had changed, and why it had suddenly come to his own apprenticeship.

“......”

"What does this "old man" mean?!

Chen Yan thought about the strangeness in Fu Nian's words just now, and he forgot to talk to Fu Nian at all.

"Lao Gu Fu Nian, he was a monk of Dongtu Lingtai Temple in the past, are you willing... Worship Lao Gu as a teacher?!"

Seeing that Chen Yan listened to his words, as if he was in a daze, he didn't react at all, Fu Nian had to ask again.

“......”

They were still speechless, but Chen Yan reacted this time and did not continue to be in a daze.

But he hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't hold back anything.

It's not that I don't want to say it, but I really don't have anything to say.

I have to say that sometimes, happiness comes too suddenly, and it is also a kind of annoyance.

Apprentice, Chen Yan said that he was not ready for less than half an hour after meeting.

As if he had expected Chen Yan to have such a reaction, the gray-clothed old monk named Fu Nian smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry, facing Chen Yan, he continued to speak:

"The disciples of Buddhism pay attention to the fate of the law, and this Fuhu Cave, even if there is Jiang Fang to lead the way, people who are not destined for the law, they are not allowed to enter the door, you have come here, you are destined to have a relationship with the old man, and you are willing to listen to the old man tell his own story..."

At this time, Chen Yan was worried and had nothing to say, and when he heard this, how could he say no, so he hurriedly nodded again and again.

"Hehe..."

Seeing this, the old monk Fu Nian chuckled.

The next moment, he seemed to be caught in a memory, his expression began to become a little trance, and his mouth began to say to himself:

"Speaking of which, Lao G's life has gone through 10,000 years, which is too long, and because of this, there are countless things that he has experienced..."

"There are too many inconsequential things, and to this day, even with Lao Na's cultivation, I can't remember it clearly..."

"However, speaking of Lao Wei, there are three wrong things, but I have to mention..."

"Lao Gufa's name is Fu Nian, but he was born as a monk in Dongtu Lingtai Temple, you already know this..."

"But you don't know, when Lao Wei was young, he was actually not from an orthodox cultivation family, and when it comes to roots, he is just one of the hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the eastern land of the Divine Continent..."

"And that's the first thing the old man has to say..."

"When Lao Wei was young, due to some changes, his parents died, and he has no support since then..."

"Because of this, by chance, the old man worshipped a monk who traveled to the local area as a teacher, and then followed him to travel all over the world, before he stepped into the path of cultivation and had the current creation..."

"Cultivating the way, conquering the heavens and the earth, it sounds lofty, but if you talk about it carefully, it is no different from the ordinary..."

"Those who do business seek wealth, those who study seek officials, those who study medicine seek rejuvenation with wonderful hands, and those who cultivate life seek immortality..."

"Although they are different, they all have one thing in common, and that is... Inheritance of the Teacher..."

Speaking of this, Fu Nian deliberately paused abruptly in his tone of speech, and then secretly lowered his eyes... glanced at Chen Yan.

To be honest, Chen Yan didn't notice Fu Nian's small action hint at all at the moment.

However, if it comes to it, he is not indifferent.

Although it was polite at first, from just now, Chen Yan gradually listened to what Fu Nian said.

At this moment, hearing the words of the gray-clothed old monk, Chen Yan agreed quite in his heart, and nodded unconsciously.

The path of cultivation is not without a teacher.

In Chen Yan's view, there are only two ways for everything in this world to progress.

One is to learn, and the other is to create.

The object of this study is the teacher.

The foundation of this creation is also the teacher.

At any time, as long as you want to improve, the teacher is indispensable.

It is true that he is a genius without a teacher, but if you think about it carefully, what you are saying is that you can understand the truth without guidance.

There is no need for guidance, and the meaning is not to be untaught.

If it is really a teacher, the principle of heaven and earth is not an alternative teacher.

What's more, the teacher, the giver.

Without a person who is giving, even if he understands the principles of heaven and earth, how can he last forever.

No matter what Chen Yan thought in his heart, anyway, seeing Chen Yan's reaction, Fu Nian seemed quite satisfied.

The next moment, Fu Nian looked at Chen Yan, nodded without a trace, and continued to speak:

"Speaking of which, you must have guessed that this wandering monk is not an ordinary monk..."

"This wandering monk, that is, Lao Qu's original teacher, is named Fa Ming, and his true identity is the protector of Lingtai Temple, the holy land of Dongtu Buddhism..."

"And in the past, Lao Qu was enlightened by it, and became a monk in Lingtai Temple, becoming a novice in the temple, and since then... I really embarked on the path of cultivation..."

"And this is the first wrong thing Lao Qu did in his life..."

"Even...?!Wrong..."

At first glance, hearing the gray-clothed old monk's words, Chen Yan became more and more interested in the reason for this.

"Ordinary people, their lives are short, at most a hundred years old, all their lives, they live in ignorance, running around for a little money, they don't understand the vastness of this world, they don't know the vastness of this divine continent, they don't know the infinite mystery of the sun, moon and stars..."

"And cultivators, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, moving stars and changing buckets, are all in one thought, and what's more, immortality, turning over the hands to change the heavens and the earth..."

"Rebel against your own life, transform your life, ordinary people can't ask for it, in the mouth of this old monk, it has become a mistake..."

"I can understand that it is a turn of fate, but what does such a statement mean...?!"

Unconsciously, Chen Yan had fallen into the story of the gray-clothed old monk and couldn't extricate himself.

Not only that, in addition to Chen Yan, at this moment, together with the thought of telling him a story, he also began to immerse himself in the imagination he created, his expression became more and more trance-like, and he began to sigh as if no one was around.

"Master, when I think about this life, I often wonder if I hadn't entered the Lingtai Temple, hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation, and hadn't cultivated the Bodhi Dharma, would the Lingtai Temple be a different situation..."

"Fu Nian... Fu Nian!"

"With the idea of subduing demons, I will survive the calamity..."

"In this life, the disciple really lived up to your expectations..."

"Master, what you said is right, it's not you who are wrong, not the ancestors of the past dynasties, not the monks of Lingtai..."

"It's just weird, I realized the wrong Fa and cultivated the wrong life, so that all the disciples and the great foundation disappeared..."

"On the day when all the demons are subdued, you will be able to correct the Dharma Bodhi..."

"Now I understand, but so what..."

"It turns out that in the end, it's not the demons of this world who should be crossed, but... My demons..."
