"How many Buddhist Pure Lands are there?"
“There are many, many Pure Lands mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. For example, in the scriptures about Amitabha, our Master Sakyamuni Buddha said: “From this world to the Western Paradise, there are ten trillion Pure Lands!” Lu Xiuzhu asked: "Can pure land be cultivated?" Shen Qing'an smiled and said, "I think it's okay." But the master said that I was too whimsical. Lu Xiuzhu thought for a moment and said, "The pure land you mentioned has little to do with soil science." If you become a great monk and reach the level of a Bodhisattva, you will naturally be able to open up a pure land. Shen Qing'an said: "Putuo Mountain originally had a pure land, but later it was opened as a tourist area. Countless people came to visit, and the pure land changed its taste." Over the years, the mountain gate has been closed, and after the training of several masters, Putuo Mountain has become much cleaner. "
"Do you like purity?"
"Although I grew up in a temple, I received my secondary school education outside the temple. The purity I like refers to a clean mind without too many worries. Only by being pure can you clearly understand yourself and discover the overlooked but precious things. Something. It’s different from the master’s kind of knocking on wooden fish in the quiet night.”
"Taoists also have a similar saying: 'Who can be turbid and use tranquility to make it clear, and who can be peaceful and use movement to make it sound.'
"Quietness makes Xu Qing", quiet down and you will be pure.
"Motion is born slowly", life and death are endless under dynamic conditions. In a quiet environment, your thoughts will not wander around, and in a noisy environment, your mind will not be disturbed. "
"Lu Xiuzhu, which Taoist sect are you a disciple of? The Longmen sect or the Quanzhen sect?"
"I'm not a Taoist disciple, I just learned some family kung fu." After some communication, the relationship between the two people became much closer.
Four years of college career passed by in a hurry. Graduation season is here in a blink of an eye. One night, with the moon above the willow branches, people made an appointment after dusk.
Lu Xiuzhu called Shen Qing'an out and walked on the playground of the small courtyard. The lights were dancing and the breeze was blowing. The two hugged for the first time and whispered for a long time.
Soon afterwards, Shen Qing'an left the school and returned to Putuo Mountain for meditation. Lu Xiuzhu continued to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D.
In 2586, he received his doctorate and stayed in school to do research. Five years later, he wrote many articles and became a third-level professor of soil science.
After another five years, he was promoted to a second-level professor. Then he returned to Qinghai Lake and founded
"Lingtu Research Institute" continues to engage in research on spiritual soil. He has an ultimate topic, research
The principle of "rest of the soil" is endless. But because the living soil is too precious, his current knowledge is not enough, so he starts with the spiritual soil.
In 2600, 40-year-old Lu Xiuzhu advanced to Jindan and founded the
"Nine-grade spiritual field level system", find the method for measuring the level of spiritual fields
"Suye Lingzhu". Insert a piece of bamboo into the spiritual field, work overnight, and the next morning, see how many inches the spiritual bamboo has grown, that is the level of the spiritual field!
In addition, he also developed some methods to increase the level of the spiritual field by 1-3 levels without changing the spiritual veins.
He published the relevant research in a magazine, but did not reveal the specific method, because the scientific research results involve interests and cannot be released at will.
After the news came out, it attracted the attention of many sects and aristocratic families. Some people called or visited in person to ask how to upgrade the spiritual field.
Lu Xiuzhu listed a price list and sold special black boxes. There is a self-destruct system in the black box. There is also a white jade plate with a diameter of ten centimeters, with complex runes carved on it. Some of the runes are real and some are fake. Some of the strokes are deliberately added to confuse others. The useful part is a small spirit gathering array.
As long as such a black box is buried in the soil, the surrounding thirty acres of land can slowly increase its level.
In addition to black boxes, he also sells
"Suye Lingzhu". This kind of bamboo has been added with a restricted gene key by the old man Lu Lingchen. A certain reagent must be added before it can tiller and reproduce. Each bamboo can only be tested in the spiritual field 30 times. If tested once a year, it can be tested for 30 years before it is used up. After 30 times, the spirit bamboo will wither and you will have to buy a new one.
In addition, he also found a kind of ancient era in the small world of skulls.
"Alfalfa" has strong nitrogen-fixing ability and can improve soil fertility. As long as one crop of alfalfa is planted every seven years, the spiritual power in the spiritual field can be maintained.
Some aristocratic families do not know how to maintain their spiritual fields and over-plant spiritual grasses, causing the spiritual fields to decline and degrade. This is also a headache for cultivating families.
Finally, Lu Xiuzhu has another big killer weapon, which is to sell miniature spirit-gathering beads. The old men of the Lu family who are at the level of Heavenly Witches and Heavenly Martial Masters continue to explore Jupiter and Saturn and bring back a lot of Spirit Gathering Beads.
Small spirit-gathering beads were buried under Yuxu Peak and Wurou Mountain Villa. They evolved into spirit veins and merged with each other to become large-scale spirit veins. These spirit veins can absorb spiritual energy from the air and underground and derive micro-spirit-gathering beads, just like beans. The same as the root nodules of plants.
The Lu family collects some miniature spirit-gathering beads every year, and can give some of them to Lu Xiuzhu for sale.
The spiritual energy in Yuxu Peak is already very rich, and it needs to be stable for several years. You cannot keep burying spiritual beads in it.
Each mountain has a limited carrying capacity. Of course, Lu Xiuzhu rarely sells Juling Beads for sale, because Juling Beads themselves are currency and do not need to be exchanged for banknotes. Banknotes will depreciate and be abolished, but Juling Beads will not depreciate.
He only helps certain aristocratic families and sects with whom he has good relations. For example, the Eagle Claw Sect and the Emei Sect sent people to seek help, and Lu Xiuzhu personally came to help them upgrade their spiritual fields.
In the blink of an eye, another 12 years have passed, and it is 2612. Lu Xiuzhu suddenly received a message from Shen Qing'an, who had been away for 30 years: "I miss you." So he hurried to Mount Putuo.
We haven't seen each other for many years, and Shen Qing'an has not aged at all. The blue spot on the left cheek is still there, but it is much duller than before, so it looks more beautiful.
She received Lu Xiuzhu in the Zen monastery, with a sad look on her face: "Master has passed away. I feel very sad. I want you to stay with me for a few days, is that okay?" Lu Xiuzhu asked, "What state is Master? Why did he leave? Woolen cloth?"
"Master just told me before he left that she was my biological mother."
"How...how could this be so?" Shen Qing'an was silent for a long time before she said, "Master's last words are that he wants me to return to secular life." Lu Xiuzhu reached out and grabbed her jade hand covered in the monk's robe, and said: "Qing'an, I I still remember the original agreement, no matter when, as long as you are willing to marry, I will marry you. I can wait for you for a thousand years." Shen Qing'an said softly: "Not yet, I am the only golden elixir monk in Putuo Mountain. I can't leave for the time being." Lu Xiuzhu said firmly: "Then I will wait slowly for the day when you can leave."
"I want to cultivate disciples at the Golden Core level and hold up the mountain gate."
"Have you found a suitable disciple?"
"There are a few good candidates, but they are still far from being successful."
