Sunlight spills into the pavilion through the papier-mâché sash, and the fine dust floats in the sunlight, forming a pillar of light.

Xu Xian sat on the wooden floor of the attic, surrounded by scattered scriptures.

The smell of ink from books, the smell of decay from the wooden attic, surrounded him, and he just sits. It seems that he has forgotten the test that Fahai gave himself.

It is not impossible to memorize so many scriptures in three days, if Pan Yu is here, it will probably not take three days, because she not only forgets it, but also reads a wide range of books. She had probably read all of these scriptures once, and at most she had only confirmed them again.

But Xu Xian couldn't do this, his memorization was the result of acquired practice, not the kind of memory of understanding, but all rote memorization. The stored information is not infinite, he can easily memorize a scripture, but if it is ten, it is very difficult, if it is fifty, it is almost impossible.

It took him a whole day, but he only memorized twenty books, but if he wanted to go any further, the things he had memorized before would be quickly forgotten, and now he was exhausted.

Fahai looked at Xu Xian's appearance from the purple gold bowl, frowned, and smiled slightly. For such an untamed boy, he should be given a dismount, and when he admits his failure and asks for his own will, then he will have a taste for his master.

Suddenly, I saw Xu Xian in the golden bowl make a strange posture, crossed his feet as if he was meditating, and stroked around his head with his two hands.

It's not like that.

Seven-branch sitting?

With his thousand-year-old knowledge, he doesn't know what kind of sitting method this is, but he doesn't know that the creation of this sitting method is also handed down by a high monk, called Brother Yixiu. It is said to be able to increase intelligence by hundreds of points in the future.

Xu Xian's legs were numb from meditating, and it is estimated that one episode of "Smart Yixiu" was finished, and he didn't come up with any way. Stretching out his limbs, he fell to the ground and hit the mountain of books beside him. A "whoosh" buried him in.

A hardcover set of "Diamond Sutra" smashed on his chest, making him snort, and quickly sat up and rubbed it. He suddenly felt a hard object, and when he took it out, he saw that it was a small merit card, which had only been used once, and then a lot of things happened, and he put this little thing in the back of his mind.

Take it out today and take a look, there are still tens of thousands of merits on it, Xu Xian is overjoyed, how can he forget this thing. This is the Aladdin magic lamp made by Daozu himself!

Xu Xian casually took out a copy of "A Han Sutra" from the pile of books, holding the scripture in one hand and the card in the other. Silently recited: "Taishang Laojun help, let me memorize this book." ”

Jade didn't react.

Xu Xian secretly thought, could it be that the ancestor saw that I was going to join the Buddhist sect, and he didn't like it in his heart and refused to help me.

So he preached and explained the jade plaque for an hour, focusing on how he was "in the Buddha camp and the heart was in the Tao", as well as his hatred for being a monk. But Yu Pai still didn't react.

Xu Xian wondered in his heart, because Yu Xuanji didn't want him to use merit without anything, so he only talked about it in general terms, and did not introduce the use of merit cards in detail, so Xu Xian was in a dilemma at the moment.

Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh: Hey, people use any magic weapon so well, they don't even use the instruction manual. When I came to myself, I couldn't figure out how to use this legendary super bull magic weapon made for Dao Ancestor in my hand. It's like when I first started using computers when I was a kid, I didn't know anything but turning them on.

That's right, computers, programs.

Xu Xian's heart flashed with inspiration, he felt as if he had grasped something, stood up and turned around in place twice, yes, it was the program. It's as if you have a body of power but don't have a way to use it, and the merit in this merit card is also a kind of power, but you haven't found a way to use it.

In the meditation room, the abbot came to the golden bowl and looked at it a few times, and praised Fahai: "The master is really a good means, if you can leave this big word person in our Lingyin Temple to become a monk, then I really don't know how to make a sensation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the pilgrims will ...... at that time."

Fahai said unhappily: "Elder Yuankong, we are all monks, how can the heart of fame and fortune be so important, isn't Buddhism more important than pilgrims?"

The abbot smiled, there was a little less philistine and more weight in that smile, and he put his hands together and asked, "Master, what is the use of Buddhism?" This monk who knew the meaning of the scriptures suddenly asked such a sentence, and Fahai was stunned.

But he immediately replied: "Prove Bodhi, cross the common people." ”

The abbot said with a smile: "The Dharma of the Master is to prove Bodhi, and the Dharma of the old man is to cross the common life." ”

Fahai frowned greatly, "What a big breath!"

The abbot said: "When Lao Wei took over as the abbot of this Lingyin Temple, there were only one or twenty people here. In the past few decades, buildings have been built to create the atmosphere that they have today. ”

Fahai wondered why this monk suddenly showed his merit.

The abbot continued: "Although there is no unparalleled mana of the mage, but the old man often thinks about how to cross people, until I take over as the abbot of this Lingyin Temple, I understand that it is not the power of one person to complete the common life, so I have to incarnate hundreds of millions." These billions refer to you and me, and they are also many ordinary monks, and if there are monks, there must be temples, and the more gorgeous the temple halls, the bigger the Buddha statues, and the more believers. Only in this way can I spread the Dharma of my Buddha!"

"It's not that my Buddha loves the golden body, it's that the world loves the golden body. It's not that monks love money, it's that people love money. ”

Fahai said: "The Dharma is above board, how can it succumb to fools?"

The abbot smiled: "Xu Xian of Master Du is a person with wisdom roots, and he may be able to become a Buddha one day." But among the sentient beings, how many immortals are there? Those who don't have a wise root, don't they care? Our generation can only bend down to guide them, and even if they can't make them enlightened, they can make them good. ”

Fahai pondered, bowed and saluted: "The ambition of Master Yuankong is not as good as the foolish monk." He has always taken the Qing cultivation route of "no years in the mountains", and the people who can be crossed are crossed, and those who cannot be crossed are not crossed. When he saw Elder Yuankong, an ordinary monk, he felt a little self-conscious in his heart, and when he saw his greed for money, he was even more disdainful. Now we know that we are "Hinayana" and the other party is "Mahayana". finally understood why Yuankong was not surprised when he saw his means, and it turned out that the other party was proud enough.

Buddhism was born in foreign countries, but it developed in Middle-earth. When they were the least, their disciples were even more devastated. One of the biggest turning points was the emergence of Mahayana Buddhism, which was undoubtedly more suitable for preaching than the so-called "Hinayana Buddhism" that emphasized self-consciousness before, so it developed extremely rapidly.

And what plays a role in it is the countless monks like Elder Yuankong, although Buddhism is the most perfect, but the development of the sect requires human and financial resources, whether Elder Yuankong really loves money or fake money, this will not change.

The abbot hurriedly replied: "It's just that if you can't use such a heavenly means to subdue demons and eliminate demons and protect my Dharma, no matter how many people like Lao Qu are, it will be in vain." If I can accept this Xu Jushi as a disciple this time, it will be of great benefit to the development of my Lingyin Temple and the glory of my Buddhism. ”

Fahai frowned and said, "I hope so!"

In the golden bowl, I saw Xu Xianxi's appearance, and he seemed to have found some effective method.

Xu Xian understood the use of the merit card, although the power of merit in it is there, but it is impossible to respond to too complex requirements, just like a computer program, you also need to enter the correct instructions to be executed, if it is an instruction that the computer can't recognize at all, that is, it is in vain to say many times.

And the wish that Xu Xian wants to achieve is "memorize these books." "The information contained in it is too complex. Endorsement itself is an active thing. That thing that only intelligent beings can understand, even if you use a computer, you can also get people to copy and paste. And this world obviously doesn't have anything as magical as a machine spirit.

Xu Xian tried a different way, took a scripture book, and silently made a wish: "Float this book." Sure enough, I saw a clear light emanating from the merit card, and then the scripture book in my hand floated in the air, obviously this was a wish that could be understood by the merit card. Xu Xianxin said, "Stop", and the "A Han Sutra" fell down.

Yes, that's it, a simple and clear wish can be granted. Looking at the merit card again, there is really a little less merit, which is estimated to be the minimum deduction.

Xu Xian was overjoyed in his heart, and once again silently made a wish to be clear in his heart. Another blue light emerged, flowing into Xu Xian's body. Xu Xian felt a chill in his head, and everything around him became sharp as he had never been, and he glanced at the bookshelf with big eyes, and with just one glance, he immediately came up with a number in his mind, four hundred and fifty-eight. It is the number of the Scriptures.

Then look at the numbers on the merit cards are changing little by little, although slowly, but firmly. With a clear head, he immediately understood that this should be a state, and in this state, his head seemed to be a lot more flexible. After all, it is not impossible to turn an ordinary person into a genius all at once, but obviously the information contained in it is too complicated. Merit cards are difficult to understand, but they are replaced by this short-term use of merit power to clear the mind.

Xu Xian knew that time was running out, so he hurriedly picked up a scripture book and read it, and sure enough, he didn't feel any difficulty, and when he thought about it lightly, it was like a photocopy, and he understood it clearly.

Fahai frowned, but he was helpless, using the merits of Xu Xian to cheat any cultivator could not say that he was cheating, because the accumulation of merits by cultivators to reduce the heavenly tribulation and the concept of it are all very legitimate, and merit is like eyes and arms for a practitioner, it is one and the same, who can say that it is wrong to read books with eyes?

Fahai sighed: "Dao Ancestor is mysterious, so he can have such a means. With a wave of his hand, the image on the golden bowl disappeared and changed to its original form.

After a while, Xu Xian memorized all the scriptures, stopped the consumption of merits, and immediately felt that the room was dark, although he knew that it was just an illusion, but he couldn't help but sigh, the feeling of being a genius was too wonderful. Look at the public morality to consume only a few dozen points, well, this method is called "wisdom", if you learn to fight in the future to open this state, it is really twice the result with half the effort.

Recalling the scriptures, although it is not as clear as in the state just now, it can also be done exactly the word.

Hahaha, laughed three times, and was about to push the door away, when he turned back to see the books all over the floor, and then turned back to put the books back in their place. I lowered my head to pick up a book, but I saw a light blue dress, and when I looked up, Xiaoqian was looking at herself with joy on her face.
