Chapter 473: Hope (Page 1/1)

However, it is not absolute, including other sects other than Buddhism, there are still special recipes, and vegetarianism is naturally one of them.

It's the same on the Buddhist side, there are people who eat meat and drink alcohol, and there are also people who practice vegetarianism, but "Liantai Temple" belongs to the kind of meat and vegetarian who do not abstain.

As for these slaves, handymen, and cooks in the outer kitchen, they are not even considered monks, and naturally no one cares what they eat.

Don't look at Wang Mazi, they all have shaved heads, and they are dressed in the style of monks' clothes, but this is just the rule of "Liantai Temple", but anyone who does things for the temple, or is regarded as the private property of the temple, is dressed like this.

This is still a relatively mild rule, as far as Wang Mazi knows, the rules of some temples are to brand slave laborers, and some are even directly printed on the face, a bit like the ancient gold seal thorn matching, which belongs to not treating these people as human beings at all.

For example, the "Liantai Temple" is a little better, although they are all bald and wearing monk's clothes, but there is no physical injury such as branding, and only a few prisoners who have broken the rules are used in this way.

Other slave laborers and handymen all distinguish by the style, color, and markings of their clothes.

For example, slave labor, there is basically no hierarchy, they are all gray and black rag monks' robes, and the clothes are painted with the number of slave laborers, which is used to distinguish who is who.

These robes are still recycled, which means that the robes worn by the dead slaves will be stripped off and used by the new slaves until they are completely damaged.

The civilian handymen were better, at least the clothes were not ripped from the dead men, and the monk's robes they wore were blue-gray, which looked a bit like those of the slaves, but they were not so tattered, and they were not numbered.

The cuffs and chest of this robe are embroidered with the mark "Rendaiji", and depending on the subtlety of the mark, the rank of the civilian handyman varies.

Cooks are actually a kind of civilian handymen, but the level is relatively high, and people like Wang Mazi are the high-level elites among the civilian handymen, and they have basically reached the top of the civilian class.

This is also Wang Mazi's ultimate dream, and if you want to become a monk of "Liantai Temple", the most conventional and reliable way is the annual examination.

As long as you can pass the annual examination, you can basically become a trainee monk, and after surviving the inspection period, you will almost be able to become a glorious official monk.

Don't underestimate the identity of this official monk, not to mention anything else, at least in Wang Mazi's mind, this identity is equivalent to the difference between heaven and earth, for a civilian like him, the official monk of "Liantai Temple" is a big man like the sky, and one sentence can decide his life and death, and even raiding his family and exterminating the clan is not a joke.

Not to mention slave labor, which is worse than civilians, it is really as easy to get as you want, and you can crush a large area to death at will.

For example, the director of the outer kitchen, that is, the old monk who came to retire for the elderly, is actually just the lowest official monk in the temple, and even after so many years, he has not been promoted to any level, which can be said to be the garbage in the official monk.

But even if it is such a garbage goods, it is not that Wang Mazi dares to have any disobedience, otherwise he will die without a place to be buried.

In the hierarchy of "Liantai Temple", the trainee monk is of course the lowest level of existence, but in fact, this is not a formal member of the temple, and you have to wait for the inspection period to advance to a formal monk before you can be regarded as a real member of the temple.

It's just that the monk's robe of the trainee monk is similar to that of the official monk, which is a light gray ordinary monk's robe, and the only difference is that the markings on the cuffs and chest are slightly different.

Above the formal monk, there is a yellow monk's robe, which is generally called a "yellow-robed monk" in the mouth of a commoner like Wang Mazi, and he is a great person.

Wang Mazi didn't dare to imagine that he could wear a yellow robe in his life, if he could become a formal monk wearing gray monk's robes, he would feel a thousand thanks in his life.

It was on such a day that Chen Mu recuperated for half a month, Wang Mazi occasionally came over to chat with him, and sometimes learned some knife techniques from Chen Mu.

But in the matter of learning swordsmanship, Chen Mu showed a little bit of strength, and showed a few hands, and he suppressed Wang Mazi.

Think about it, no matter how bad you are, it is also a martial artist who has once mixed with the level of a true innate master, even if his strength has dropped sharply now, and he has even become an ordinary person who is not even a martial artist, but whether it is eyesight or experience, including his attainments in martial arts, it is by no means something that a weak chicken like Wang Mazi can look up to.

Even if Chen Mu did not deliberately study the knife technique in the later period, just by virtue of his early involvement in this area, as well as the contact bypass of one law and ten thousand laws, casually revealing a little bit was enough to shock Wang Mazi.

However, Chen Mu didn't exaggerate too much, just showed a few tricks a little, and it was up to the point, and Chen Mu still understood the reason for being too late.

It is to grasp this scale that Wang Mazi was shocked, and he didn't have too messy superfluous thoughts, but he just felt that this "knife man" was not simple, and it was worth putting a long line to catch big fish.

This half-month recuperation also made Chen Mu breathe a sigh of relief, his physical condition did not continue to deteriorate, but he recovered a lot, and now he is almost like a normal person.

What's more, after his continuous efforts, the sea of qi in the dantian position seemed to loosen a little bit, and a faint trace of European qi escaped from it.

This made Chen Mu very excited, and he was still not sure whether this trace of European qi had been stored in the sea of qi in the first place, or whether it had only been produced later.

But no matter what the situation is, this is a good sign, at least it shows that his qi sea is not completely damaged, but can still be saved, otherwise it is impossible to produce this trace of European qi.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, the root of the martial artist is European qi, and without European qi it is nothing, but as long as there is European qi, even if it is just a trace, it is equivalent to opening an opening, crossing the gap between ordinary people and martial artists.

This trace of European spirit is the hope of his comeback!

Chen Mu has been trying his best to capture and stabilize this trace of European spirit in the past two days, and only in this way can he continue the next step of his self-rescue plan.

Otherwise, if there is no trace of European energy, if it is not said, if it cannot be controlled by yourself, then naturally there will be no other things.
