Lu Yuan has nothing to say. This kind of welfare is not so good even for state-owned enterprises. [Full text reading] After thinking about it, I asked, "Then how do you think I will spend my newbie period?"
"This is a good question." The old monk nodded, "Pragmatism is a good habit. I guess you have also experienced a test that makes people gradually despair, right?"
"You mean that spaceship?"
Seeing Lu Yuan nod in confirmation, the old monk continued, "Spaceship? That is your starting world. Every time you return from the sub-world, you will return there. If you have the energy and ability, you might as well run it well. What you have experienced Yes, it is a test. Almost everyone will go through the test first after death. Those who pass the first test will be rewarded with a time travel. Those who fail will go to the Palace of Hell to drink Meng Po soup. Haha~"
"Is there really a Palace of Hell and Meng Po Soup?"
"Go, I've never died, how do you know?! Don't interrupt, just listen to me. In the first world, a novice will encounter a second test to see if he can seize the opportunity and increase his strength. If your strength meets the requirements, you can see the novice instructor." The old monk pointed to himself.
"When you meet me, I will tell you many things and help you grow faster and better. If you don't meet me, then you will be unlucky. Don't blame others when you die in the future."
"Isn't this difficult?!" Lu Yuan broke into a cold sweat. If he had not come to Shaolin... If he had not come to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion... If he had not seen the old monk, he would have lived according to his own ideas. The outcome must be very different.
"Exactly." The old monk rolled his eyes at him and sneered, "It's not as difficult as you think. The Shaolin Buddhist Scripture Pavilion is like a famous attraction in the world of martial arts. Which time traveler who has reached a certain level of martial arts will not come. See? Anyone who can’t come is either a loser or a hapless person, so why should I care about it!”
This is true, Lu Yuan was speechless.
"You once said that cultivation can't be taken away, so what's the use of practicing martial arts? If we only know the moves but no internal power, then wouldn't we become Wang Yuyan?"
"What do you think about this?"
"I think it can be possible."
"So do you have any points?"
"Why is there a new concept coming out?! There are so many things you haven't told me!"
…
"Any suggestions on the way forward?"
"Oh, young man, shouldn't you have already been running towards the goal in your heart? Let's forget about the old guy's nagging."
"Experience is one of the most valuable assets. Teaching experience is the purpose of setting up a novice instructor, right? If it's just some instructions, just give a user manual."
"Well, smart man. What I want to say is that the body is your own, so the power inside the body is determined by you. The power outside the body belongs to the world, whether you call it magic, mana, vitality, spiritual energy or Whatever it is, it’s just one kind, we generally call it the vitality of heaven and earth.”
"Do immortals and magicians use the same power?"
"Essentially, it is, but it is divided into some levels according to concentration. According to the division of the East, before the earliest creation of heaven and earth, the heaven and earth were filled with chaotic spiritual energy. At the beginning of the heaven and earth, it transformed into the black and yellow energy of heaven and earth, and then decomposed into innate spiritual energy. After the Shang Dynasty, All that exists is acquired spiritual energy. After the Song Dynasty, there was no such thing as spiritual energy. By the industrial age, it was completely exhausted."
"Why is this? They were all absorbed by the saints and immortals of previous generations?"
"Haha, there have been such speculations before. Until someone actually interacts with a saint, this question will not have an accurate answer. For us, the power of the saint is as vast as the world. But for the saint, the world is as vast as the world. The vitality is also so vast. Therefore, they are not able to absorb all the vitality of the world! If it is a metaphor, the vitality should have receded. Our world is like the pebbles left on the beach after the flood. The water gradually evaporates and the pebbles become dry. That's it."
"The saints and immortals..."
"Those who have the ability to transcend the stones will naturally follow the water. What is left behind are the dregs waiting to die. For example, the Kunpeng starved to death."
"I seem to have heard of this example before?"
"An illusion, it must be an illusion."
…
The old monk continued to sweep the floor.
Lu Yuan continued to visit the Sutra Pavilion.
After a deep talk with the old monk, everyone went about their business. We just met for some time and continued to drink and talk about the mountains. The old monk who could talk would talk about it, but Lu Yuan couldn't ask about what he couldn't talk about.
But when I went to the Sutra Pavilion again, the old monk was no longer there. Only one "Cloud-Zhanying" sword was left, which was regarded as a parting gift.
Lu Yuan asked around, but most of the people around him didn't know that there was a Sasu monk in front of the Sutra Pavilion!
Lu Yuan was helpless and left sadly.
*********************************
Shaolin Villa.
Lu Yuan spent three years and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build this Shaolin Temple. Although Songshan Shaolin Temple is very big, Shaolin Temple itself is even bigger. Nowadays, there are three Shaolin temples in the world - Songshan Shaolin Temple, Putian Shaolin Temple and Dadu Shaolin Temple. (The information about Shaolin Temple is incomplete, mostly hearsay, please read it as an online article, no research is needed.
Among them, Putian Shaolin Temple has about a hundred people. It is considered the southern branch of Shaolin and will be called Southern Shaolin in the future.
Dadu Shaolin Temple has about four to five hundred people, but it was a branch temple established in Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty after Shaolin became the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism in the early Yuan Dynasty. There are only about twenty warrior monks in the temple, and the rest are literary monks who study Buddhism and self-cultivation. The relationship between most Shaolin temples and the Yuan Dynasty court is complicated, which is one of the reasons why Shaolin’s status is as stable as Mount Tai. In the past fifty years since the temple was built, most of the Shaolin Temple and the Songshan Shaolin Temple have drifted apart due to differences in concepts and often conflicts.
In the past day, the two sides were at loggerheads because of the ownership of the name of the ancestral court of the Zen sect. Although Dadu Shaolin has official support, it is an indisputable fact that Monk Fuyu was stationed in the Xisong Mountain Shaolin Temple. This matter was entangled in this way until Dadu Shaolin Temple was destroyed in the Yuan Dynasty War.
As the main temple of Shaolin Temple, Songshan Shaolin Temple has a total of thousands of monks, plus novice monks, lay disciples, handymen and tenants, there are probably as many as 2,000 people! The top of Shaoshi Mountain has long been overcrowded. The four great monks can still have their own meditation rooms, but most of the others have to squeeze in. Those with lower status live directly down the mountain.
When Lu Yuan was running on the grassland, he already had a rough anti-Yuan plan. Therefore, after every raid, he would take away the chief's tokens and some of the most precious treasures. These things were inconvenient to carry, so he marked them and buried them.
After the incident subsided, the "rich man" organized a caravan to do business on the grassland, and secretly brought back this wealth, which became the starting capital for the two of them.
Later, according to the two people's plan, they borrowed Lu Yuan's ideas and the "rich man's" skills to make crazy money from the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty. The amount of money collected in Lu Yuan's hands was already an astronomical figure! Lu Yuan is not a selfless person. In addition to giving the money to Peng Yingyu for operation, of course he also withdraws it for his own use.
