Taoism leads people to the immortal road, the practice of immortal art requires spirituality, if you don't open your mind at all, you can only say that you have no chance with the immortal road, no matter how hard I try to teach, it will be in vain. At the same time, it also highlights the greatness of the immortal road and the unfathomable ability of the Taoist priest.

Of course, Shen Fei meditated in front of the big guy and had some selfish motives mixed in, staying in the Taoist temple every day was like an official going to work, completely losing his independent time, and having no free time to complete his cultivation and achieve a breakthrough in the realm. Since leaving the Immortal Mountain, although Shen Fei's strength has greatly improved, his realm has always stagnated, and he has never been able to find the Dao Heart to completely step into the realm of transformation and darkness, he needs too much time to meditate and think, so he uses this opportunity to be busy with his own affairs in the open.

The time of meditation lasted until noon, when the sun rose high, there was a time when it was not half of the time and it suddenly rained heavily in the sky, Shen Fei directly raised the immortal gang to resist the rain, and his Taoist robe was dry under the storm, which caused the envy and surprise of the people around him, and strengthened their determination to follow him.

At noon, the Taoist temple provided meals, and the expenses were all paid by Shen Fei himself, and he could obtain a huge amount of wealth by taking out a random elixir, and some food money was naturally not a problem. But for the noon meal, Shen Fei made a special arrangement, he ordered vegetarian meals from Yueyang Tower, which was three kilometers away from here, and the number distributed every day was only a hundred. Shen Fei had accurately calculated, and the full third of the courtyard was about a hundred. 100 meals are distributed every day, and the rest of the people are not allowed to fight for meals if they can't get food, they can bring their own meals, they can spend money to buy food for their companions, in short, there are only 100 meals distributed in my Taoist temple, which is only enough for 100 people to eat.

This has three purposes: first, after all, most of the people who come to worship in the Taoist temple are poor people, and providing some food can solve their livelihood problems and retain some people. Second, only 100 servings of food reflect the difference between Taoism and Buddhism, Buddhism regularly gives porridge, which seems to be charity but is actually retention, and in this way drags down the footsteps of some people who are in difficulty in life, so that they can only get food by believing in Buddhism; Shen Fei is different, he wants to show that Taoism is compelled to be higher than Buddhism, so he distributes only 100 servings of food every day, only 100 servings, and they are all vegetarian dishes with clear soup and little water, if you feel that the food is too little and don't want to come, you can go to Buddhism, no one will keep you. Third, just like the ink master's blank space on the painting scroll, Shen Fei set the number of meals at 100, leaving room for others, leaving a blank space, so that others have the opportunity to show their strength and show their loyalty in front of themselves.

As you can see, a week has just passed, and many wealthy people have taken the initiative to order meals to be distributed to those who have no food to eat instead of Taoist temples. Through this back and forth, people of both classes discovered that in fact, there was not such a big difference between them at all.

Shen Fei's good intentions could not be understood by the people around him at first, but slowly as the effect was revealed over time, the people around him suddenly realized that his vision was so long-term, far above ordinary people.

6. After lunch, in the afternoon, if it is a temple, the people who come to worship will basically return to their homes by the same way. But Shen Fei didn't want to do this, he wanted to keep this part of the people, so he arranged to receive guests in the afternoon to answer questions. Now in the spring, the weather is already warm, and the sun is hot in the courtyard in the afternoon, Shen Fei has found a quiet and comfortable place for himself to sit - the room opposite the courtyard gate, named Yin and Yang Realm, is also the most famous calligrapher in the imperial capital to inscribe.

The smoke in the yin and yang is full of smoke, it is Shen Fei's good spiritual smoke, the door is open to the outside, Shen Fei will order ten random people in the courtyard after lunch every day, let them enter the house and talk to themselves, talk about the situation, talk about the difficulties, talk about the needs, talk about anything, Shen Fei aimed at their difficulties, most of them will be enlightened with words, and occasionally help them solve the problem with kindness.

After talking to them one by one, there are still a lot of people left in the courtyard, and it is not early, some of these people will take the initiative to stay and clean the courtyard, and some will follow Shen Fei to saddle up and horse, in short, until Shen Fei leaves the courtyard and closes the door of the Taoist temple, they will not leave.

It wasn't until they watched Shen Fei ride the petal cloud and leave that they exclaimed with longing, turned around and left with anticipation, Shen Fei brought them hope, and their lives finally had meaning.

The six-step work made the Taoist temple full of vitality under Shen Fei's management, and for a time the name of the Taoist temple spread all over the imperial capital and became a place where people rushed to pour in. It is worth noting that as long as someone dares to cause trouble around the Taoist temple, be arrogant, and bully the people around him, Chu Xie will appear at the right time and teach him how to behave with that big fist, so that he can understand what the rules of this area are.

Correspondingly, the flow of people who go to Lingyin Temple to worship every day has plummeted, and the entrance hall of Lingyin Temple has been neglected for the first time in a thousand years, and the sparse flow of people has to make people wonder what a major disaster has occurred in the outside world!

Pure Heart and Pure Spirit sat in the abbot's courtyard, looking at the water in the release pool, peeking at every move of the Taoist temple from the calm water waves, and the old Pure Heart sighed deeply: "Senior brother, in the long run, the faith of my sect will be shaken, and I can no longer sit idly by. ”

Jing Ling sat across from him, shook his head, and said, "Shaken? How can people with firm beliefs like you and me easily shake their hearts, and those who can be shaken are all wavering people, and they are all people who are not worth fighting for." ”

"Senior brother!"

"Needless to say, there is only one last step left before the start of the pagan purge war, only when Shen Fei makes a big deal can he attract the attention of the Buddha, and the Buddha can agree to start a war against the Dao Sect. So don't say any more, people like these who don't have a firm faith don't need to care at all. ”

"But brother, I believe that the Buddha would not want to see such an unbearable scene. ”

"Senior brother, you are confused, the Buddha has already sacrificed himself to purgatory in order to promote the Dharma and for the happiness of the world, and he has lived in pain all the time, and his lifelong wish is to complete the establishment of the Pure Land. As his disciples, you and I, no matter what, must help the Buddha fulfill his wish, no matter what, we must establish the Pure Land, as long as the compassionate Buddha opens his eyes and sees the evil that appears in the imperial capital, the conditions for starting a pagan war have been achieved, and the Buddha will declare war on the Taoist Sect. ”

"Senior brother, in fact, senior brother has always wanted to ask you, I think that even if the compassionate Buddha saw the growth of the Taoist sect, he would not be willing to see sentient beings suffer and start a pagan war. ”

"No, he will, because the Buddha knows that in the long run, there will be no future and no way out in the human kingdom, and he knows that Shen Fei's actions will make the people of the human kingdom fall into the abyss of pain and suffering, and will make the tragic scene of rivers of blood flowing in the human kingdom be staged, so the compassionate Buddha would rather sacrifice his own staunch believers than see sentient beings suffer. ”

"Senior brother, would the Buddha really think like this? ”

"You don't believe me!" As soon as the words changed, a light suddenly appeared behind the pure spirit, and a kind figure appeared in the light.

Seeing the figure of that person, his pure heart immediately withered, and he said with trepidation: "No, of course not, Amitabha Buddha, the disciple's admiration for you is like a young child's longing for breast milk, and he is unswerving. ”

"If the faith is strong, why do we have so many doubts? ”

"That's because the disciple can't reach your realm, can't see the future like you do. ”

"Remember to purify your mind, follow me, obey me, and respond to me, only in this way can the Buddha kingdom that the Buddha expects be established on top of Kyushu, and the true Pure Land can appear in the world. ”

"Amitabha, disciple follow your guidance. ”

"Get up, you and I are still called brothers, and you don't need to call me Amitabha. ”

"Amitabha, disciples don't understand why you don't reveal your true identity to the world, so that even the likes of Puyuan Pude will inevitably respond to your call and never dare to act disobediently again. ”

"It is enough for you and me to have the people who have fallen into hell, and we cannot let all the enlightened monks suffer the same pain. People who bear sins are not worthy of receiving the blessings of the Buddha, and they are not worthy of being worshiped by the world, you know? ”

"Senior brother, what do you mean ......?"

"After achieving our goal, you and I will both leave to follow in the footsteps of the Buddha, standing in purgatory overlooking all living beings, overlooking the Buddha kingdom above the Pure Land. ”

"Amitabha, do we have to fall into hell. ”

"Are you scared?"

"The disciple is not afraid, the disciple just wants to see more of the Buddha kingdom of Dacheng, and wants to bask in its brilliance more. ”

"Don't worry, as long as we achieve our goal, you and I will have eternal life, and we will live forever in the heavens and the earth in another way, overlooking everything. ”

"Disciple ......"

"Pure heart, your faith does not seem to be firm enough. ”

"Amitabha, who is merciful and compassionate, please punish your disciples. ”

"Take the wattle, only pain can awaken your strong will. The thorn fell, which contained the power of thunder and thunderbolt, and the old pure heart faded off the monk's robe and went shirtless, and the back was whipped by the thorn strip to the skin and flesh, and the blood could not bear to look directly.

Tragedy often begins with a person's obsession.

This is an obstacle, a leaf obstacle!

......

Shen Fei didn't know that the exercises of the Buddha Sect could actually peek into the distance through the calm and waveless water, he didn't know that his every move was actually exposed to the eyes of the pure heart and the pure spirit, he continued to complete his own things, persevered, and worked hard. At present, he is the only one who operates the Taoist temple, and he is quite tired every day, and when he returns to the palace after the day, he has to give advice to Tuoba Lie, and Shen Fei can feel that his body has sounded the alarm bell.

He felt the need to speed up the process a bit, and it was time to take in two disciples.

Disciples must be accepted, and only when they receive their disciples to preach can they be considered on the right track. How to accept disciples, how many disciples to accept, and what to teach them after accepting disciples are the key points he has always hesitated about.

That night, after much thought, he decided.

Shen Fei used three steps to screen the disciples, first, when he practiced the sword in the morning, he turned his back to everyone to face everyone, and observed the movements of everyone practicing the sword, which lasted for a week, and those who insisted on coming every day and the movements were relatively smooth, initially entered his sight. Second, let Chu Xie secretly observe the words and deeds of several people who were noticed by him, and let the little handsome guy be responsible for finding out their details. Third, take advantage of a regular sword practice opportunity, call out a few people who have been screened in front of everyone, directly call out their names to make them feel that they can know everything, and call them out to stand at the front of the team and practice swords with themselves. When it was evening, he left them all behind, and asked in the usual tone if they would like to be his teacher, and no doubt they were all willing. After the two sides agreed, Shen Fei began to teach them to memorize the teachings and history of Taoism throughout the text, and this continued for a few days, until several of them had memorized the contents of the content, and then taught them some ways to feel the natural elements. Shen Fei will never teach them the Taoist scriptures, because the power of the Taoist sect is different from the Buddhist sect, the Buddhist sect needs a long period of austerity to be able to move the Buddha, get the favor of the Buddha and open the power; 。

Shen Fei understands people's hearts very well, not only does he not want there to be darkness in the world, he does not want the world to be treated unfairly, and he does not want the world to suddenly explode and become extremely unstable.

So he only intends to make his disciples a little stronger than normal people, in order to achieve this purpose, he demonstrates the sword moves very slowly, and warns the disciples that the slower the sword moves, the more powerful they are, and even proves this point with actual combat teaching, there is no doubt that the disciples who have no actual combat experience have no ability to resist under his slow sword moves that are like reptiles crawling, because the gap with Shen Fei's realm is too big, not the power brought by the slow sword moves. In addition, Shen Fei only taught the superficial way of meditation, teaching his disciples that there is yin and yang qi in heaven and earth, and that yin and yang qi should be absorbed into the body through meditation, without telling them that in fact, yin and yang qi can not only be stored in the body, but also be released through pores and meridians, achieving an effect that is sharper than a spear and stronger than a shield.

Because he only thought that his disciples could be a little higher than the strength of mortals, and thought that he was forever longed for as a god in their minds but unattainable, Shen Fei mainly focused on teaching teachings to establish their values and outlook on life, and the improvement of strength was just a means to increase self-confidence.
