What a majestic Toutuo!

Everyone who sees this Toutuo will secretly praise. Although this Toutuo is very majestic, his eyes are half-open and half-closed. He is holding a Zen staff in one hand and a rosary in the other. A feeling of tranquility and harmony.

He is obviously a majestic man, but he gives people a sense of tranquility and tranquility. This is really strange. These two different temperaments in this Toutuo do not give people any feeling of discomfort.

Toutuo walked forward slowly and slowly walked into Fengjian City. The people guarding the city gate in Fengjian City would naturally not care about him. You must know that Fengjian City is very polite to people from the Buddhist sect. This Toutuo At first glance, he is a member of the Buddhist sect, so naturally no one will embarrass him.

Toutuo slowly walked into Fengjian City. This Fengjian City was very lively, with various shops lined up. On both sides of the wide streets, there were countless merchants, hawkers or some casual traders. Sell ​​their stuff.

Although this Tutu's eyes were half closed, he was very aware of the surrounding situation. He also made many inquiries before finally deciding to come to Fengjian City. Fengjian City is the best place for Buddhists to settle down. So, especially those who practice Buddhism casually, this is even more true.

This Tutu is naturally Zhao Hai. What he looks like now is the shape that Laura and the others designed for him. He is a casual cultivator who has inherited the Buddhist heritage.

The reason why Zhao Hai wants to use this identity to make a living is because this identity can bring him a lot of convenience, and it can also make him more familiar with the Sword Spirit World. Although Xia Yu has not given him any information about the situation in the Sword Spirit World. They had been introduced, and Xia Yu didn't lie to them, but what they learned about the Sword Spirit World based on the introduction alone was still too far away, so Zhao Hai wanted to find out for himself.

And with such an identity, it will be more convenient for him to do things in the future. As for the identity of the demon sect he is planning to find out, he has not yet thought of asking him to come forward. After all, the people in the demon sect are no better than casual cultivators. People in the demon sect can go anywhere. They are not very popular, and if he really finds out the identity of that demon sect, it will probably not do him any good.

Zhao Hai walked forward slowly, and when he arrived at Fengjian City, his first step was to enter Fengjian City. In a Zen courtyard specially designed for Buddhists, he would have free accommodation and a place to eat. Although Zhao Hai was not short of the money, his current identity was that of a Buddhist who dedicated himself to practicing Buddhism. , then he naturally needs a place to live.

Buddha is different from ordinary monks. Most monks practice in temples, but Buddha is not. Buddha is generally a representative of ascetic practice. They hold tin staffs and alms bowls, walk around the world, make a living by begging for food, and comprehend the Buddha's Dharma through ascetic practices.

This tin staff is not only a tool for begging, but also a tool for self-defense. Therefore, the Buddha who is practicing alone outside is generally very knowledgeable.

Of course, the Buddha here refers to the Buddha on earth, but like the Buddha here in the Sword Spirit World. Although they also mainly practice asceticism, such Buddhas generally practice casually. Most of the real monks with background will practice in their own sects.

Zhao Hai looked calm. He walked forward slowly, but he didn't see the Chanyuan for a while. He had to turn to a monk who was setting up a stall next to him and said, "Amitabha, this benefactor has invited me, where is the Xiangyuan in Fengjian City?" Here, the young monk wants to hang tin!"

This hanging tin generally refers to the hanging order. It means to stay there. Most monks will say "hanging list", but the Buddha usually said "hanging tin". This is also based on the tin stick in his hand. Although what they are holding is not a tin stick, it is usually like this. Said, because the tin staff and the Zen staff look very similar.

The stall owner glanced at Zhao Hai. He knew the rules and couldn't be disrespectful to Buddhist cultivators in the city, so he immediately said: "Here comes the master. The Zen monastery the master is looking for is not on the main street. The master walked forward and saw a Zen archway in front of him, then he turned in and walked straight ahead, and he could see the Zen courtyard."

Zhao Hai gave the man a single-palm salute, thanked him, and then walked forward. In fact, monks usually perform a Namaste salute, but this kind of salute is not suitable for Toutuo, because when Toutuo is walking outside, Under normal circumstances, they hold a tin staff or an alms bowl. In this case, there is no way to perform namaste, so they can only perform a single-palm ceremony. Nowadays, many monks only perform a single-palm ceremony. It’s a gift.

After a while, Zhao Hai saw an archway with the word "Zen". This archway was very tall and made of a jade-like stone. On the archway, there was a large "Zen" character engraved on it. On the pillars of the archway, There are many scriptures engraved on it, and you can tell at a glance that this archway has been made for some years and looks simple and elegant.

Zhao Hai walked slowly along the street where the archway was located. After a while, he saw a large courtyard. This courtyard was very strange. The courtyard should be made of ordinary stones. The outer walls were painted with a A layer of white stuff makes the whole yard look very clean.

Although this courtyard is not very far from the main street, it seems very quiet here, and it really feels like a place of tranquility amidst the chaos.

On the gate of this courtyard, there was a big sign with the word Zen Yuan written on it. The gate was open, and Zhao Hai walked slowly towards the gate.

After entering the gate, there is a large courtyard. You can see some monks in the courtyard. Some of these monks sit quietly in the courtyard, slowly counting beads and reciting scriptures silently.

Zhao Hai entered the courtyard without attracting the attention of the monks. He looked around and found that there were many rooms in the courtyard. The doors of some rooms were closed with a small sign hanging on them, while the doors of some rooms were closed. It's open, so you can see everything in the room.

These rooms are very small, with only one bed, a futon, a small table, and nothing else. However, the rooms are very clean.

At this moment, Zhao Hai suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and then a man walked up to Zhao Hai. This man was also dressed as a monk. He didn't have anything in his hands, so he put his hands together and saluted Zhao Hai. He said: "Amitabha, young monk Huide, I have invited this master. Where is the master from? But you want to hang a tin in this courtyard?"

The monk asked where Zhao Hai was from. Naturally, it was not like a secular person would ask where Zhao Hai's hometown was, but where he used to practice in the temple.

Zhao Hai bowed to Monk Huide and said: "Amitabha, the young monk's name is Jinghai. He did not practice in the temple. He just received the mantle of his ancestor and practiced alone. This time, the young monk went out to practice and heard that Fengjian City accepted Buddhist disciples. Therefore. I want to come to Guexi to practice for a while.”

As soon as Monk Huide heard what Zhao Hai said, he understood what Zhao Hai meant. He knew that Zhao Hai was a casual cultivator, but he did not do anything rude. He just saluted Zhao Hai and said, "That's it, Jing Hai." Master, please wait a moment, I will register you and then arrange a room for you."

Zhao Hai gave a single-palm salute to Huide. After Huide returned the salute, he led Zhao Hai to a nearby meditation room. This Zen room is probably the best Zen room in this courtyard. The room is divided into two entrances. The inside is a place for resting, and the outside looks like it is used for working. However, there are no chairs here, all are futons, and there are He was holding a long table and looking at some pens and papers on the long table. There are also things like jade slips.

Huide sat on the futon behind Chang Ji, picked up a pen, and wrote something on the paper in front of him, which was nothing more than the name Zhao Hai was using now. Then he put the piece of paper away, then took out a jade slip, entered some content into it, then took out a wooden sign from the side, and said to Zhao Hai in a deep voice: "Master Jinghai, please hold this You can ask for the card in the courtyard. In any room with the door open, you can choose to check in. After you check in, you can hang this card outside the door. You don’t need to take it with you when you go out. But if you want to leave Fengjian City, please leave this card with you. Return the card to me. If you go out for a month and don't come back, I will regard you as leaving and automatically take back this card." Then handed the wooden card to Zhao Hai.

After Zhao Hai took the wooden sign, he gave a one-handed salute to Huide, turned around and left his Zen room, and arrived in the yard. This yard was very big. There should be many rooms in the yard. The yard that Zhao Hai saw , is just the first entrance into the entire large courtyard. There are hundreds of rooms here, not to mention the second and third entrances, where there are more rooms.

But these are not what Zhao Hai paid attention to. This time he went out to wander, and he did not come out specifically to cause trouble. After all, the use of force is not allowed in Fengjian City. This is the same even for Buddhist cultivators, so he It will be very safe here.

Zhao Hai did not go far. He walked around the first courtyard and took a fancy to a room in the corner. This room was no different from the other rooms. The lighting might be better, but it was not particularly good. things. Zhao Hai walked to the door, hung the wooden sign on the door, then entered the room and closed the door.

There is no deadbolt or lock on the door, but there is a slight fluctuation in magic on the door. Zhao Hai knows that this is because of the magic circle, but this magic circle is not a defensive magic circle, nor is it a warning. The main function of the magic circle is to close the door more tightly and prevent it from being blown open by wind and rain.

Zhao Hai put the Zen staff aside, then sat cross-legged on the futon and began to chant sutras with his eyes closed. Although he was the only one in the room now, he had already decided to use his identity as a Buddhist cultivator to cause trouble. , then naturally we have to make a show of it, and what Laura and the others said before is actually not entirely correct. Zhao Hai will indeed make great progress in the development of spells after having the Curse Technique, but in other aspects , he can't let go, after all, as long as you develop in any aspect, you will become a strong person, and Zhao Hai's current status as a tutu is a tutu who focuses on physical cultivation, and Zhao Hai's physical body Another big advantage.

If Zhao Hai only practices spells but not his body, it would be a waste. In fact, Zhao Hai's current physical advantage is even more obvious than his spell advantage.

Zhao Hai also plans to use this period of time to learn the Buddhist skills. The Buddhist skills naturally have their own uniqueness, and their combat effectiveness is also very powerful. If he learns them well, it will be of great benefit to Zhao Hai. Big benefit.

Zhao Hai has this advantage. No matter what he does, he will do it very seriously. Even though his identity as a tutu is fake, he still takes it seriously to be a tutu, as if he is a tutu in the first place. Now He didn't even bother to ask about things in Chao Guan City, because he knew very well that not only Wen Wenhai and the others were watching in Chao Guan City, but Laura and the others were also watching, and he didn't even know what to worry about. , In fact, even before entering the soul world, the forces controlled by Zhao Hai were controlled by Laura and the others for a lot of time.

Although Zhao Hai was chanting sutras, he was also using these sutras to confirm the Buddhist techniques he had learned. In fact, Zhao Hai had learned many Buddhist techniques, and he knew very well that those Buddhist techniques Although the scriptures seem to be of little use to monks, if you want to learn Buddhist techniques well, you must learn Buddhist scriptures well, otherwise it will have a great impact on your strength, and if you have learned It is impossible for you to exert 100% combat effectiveness even if you use Buddhist techniques, and you may even be in danger of going crazy.

While Zhao Hai was chanting sutras, a sudden Huide's voice came from outside, saying: "Master Jinghai, it's lunch time, do you want to come with me to have dinner?"

Zhao Hai stopped, slowly opened his eyes, then stood up, opened the door, glanced at Huide standing outside, and said in a deep voice: "Amitabha, thank you Master Huide for the reminder, let's go together Go ahead."

Huide smiled slightly and said: "Master Jinghai, you're welcome, let's go." After saying that, he walked inside, and Zhao Hai quickly followed behind. However, he did not bring his own Zen staff. He knew very well that in this Fengjian City, Here, no one dares to touch his things, otherwise it would be absolutely no good if someone from Fengjian Sect catches him.

The two quickly entered the second courtyard. This courtyard was similar to the first courtyard. There were many rooms in it, but now there were several large barrels in the courtyard, and several monks were holding big wooden spoons. Standing behind the vat, the monks all hold alms bowls in their hands. When they get to the vat, the monks will use wooden spoons to fill their alms bowls with food, and then the monks will take the alms bowls and leave.

Huide glanced at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice: "This is also the rule here in the Zen monastery. When everyone is eating, they must hold their own alms bowl to fill the rice. Then you can go back to your own Zen room to eat, or you can go back to your Zen room to eat. If you eat here, one bowl is not enough, you can come and get it. If you, Master Jinghai, don’t have an alms bowl, the courtyard can give you an iron bowl for free. Although it is not a good thing, it is not a problem to use it for eating."

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Master Huide. I have a bowl for you." After saying this, Zhao Hai moved his hand and there was an additional bowl in his hand. This bowl was very big, and the outer green color was black. Look. It doesn't look like much, but it looks very heavy. (To be continued.)
