Chapter 1 Monk of Zhasa Academy
Outside the unclosed window.
The strong wind from the Tantric Dharma Realm blows over the bright and luminous snow tops, passes over the mountain passes, and blows into the monk's room at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
Lu Feng felt a little tired of studying.
I don’t really want to continue studying!
It is true that there is no limit to learning and hard work.
In the real world, you have to start from a young age.
Xiao Chu Gao, university, graduate student, doctoral candidate.
As a result, he was brought to this polluted and mysterious realm.
There are countless strange places hidden in this darkness.
He still has to take the exam step by step.
After the exam in the real world, the exam in the esoteric realm continues!
Monks in the esoteric realm need to pass scripture debates and examinations among numerous "classmates" to complete their studies one by one.
From the lowest student monk to the empowered master.
From the master who initiated the initiation, to the eminent monk with six levels of degrees.
From small temples in villages to large temples in state capitals.
From the big temple in the state capital to the only supreme "Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas".
Every step is strictly hierarchical and requires a lot of financial, material, and energy.
And.
The secret of the esoteric realm lies in the secret of practice.
Only when one has reached a certain level of cultivation in stages can one obtain the corresponding method of cultivation.
Unless you reach the corresponding degree level, you cannot recite mantras, practice, or contemplate.
Without corresponding spiritual practice, it is even more impossible to go outside and serve as the altar, sutra leader, storehouse monk, and Dharma protector in small and medium-sized temples!
So, why is Lu Feng so obsessed with going to school?
The first is because, in his hand, there is a human skin scripture scroll.
It was densely written with words that only Lu Feng could see.
[Time: (Invisible) Year of the Turkey (Polluted)]
[Location: Secret Law Territory]
[Character: Zasa (Lu Feng)]< br>
[Complete the three requests to return to reality and gain the ability to bring back a certain magic weapon in this scene]
[1. Complete the Dharma lineage, transfer back to Ganye Temple, and obtain the post of Triba Dharma Platform of Ganye Temple (unfinished)]
[2. Cultivation of the Dharma lineage, investigate the mystery of the decline of Ganye Temple (Unfinished) )]
[3. Cultivating the Dharma lineage and burying the ancient Tubo bottle (unfinished)]
[All results of practicing in the esoteric realm can be retained forever]
【Complete the request and you will get additional rewards】
[If you fail to complete the mission, you will live forever in the secret realm]
[Time of stay: 3620 days]
This is the "gold finger" that brought him here.
If just bringing him here to die would be considered a golden finger.
The ancient scrolls of human skin are calculated.
Lu Feng studied scripture here for ten years.
He thinks the real world is better.
At least you won’t die if you lose!
This is the second reason why he wants to go to school here.
Here, if you don’t make progress, you will die.
The small temple where he, the monk named Zhasa, was born, is called Ganye Temple.
In a village called Gangcuo Pema, there is a Dharma protector temple in the village.
As a result, just a few years ago, a fierce scorpion invaded Gangtso Pema.
The abbot, sutra teacher, iron rod master, etc. in the temple were all murdered.
A chieftain's official village has turned into a dead zone, and the Li Wei is still hovering there. This means that if you want to go back, you must get rid of the Li Wei.
Only a few young monks outside survived.
Including the current Zasa.
In the esoteric realm.
Even a monk will be killed by Li Wei who appears at any time.
All human buildings in the esoteric realm are watchtowers. Watchtowers were built with chieftains, zongs and temples as the core!
Therefore, you must study.
Degree, you must get it!
Otherwise you will die.
Or life is worse than death!
So, we should start studying from the five sutras and commentaries of Sutra, the thousand-character commentaries, and the four major volumes. After going through annual debates and assessments in the temple, I was recognized by the abbot of the temple, and then appreciated by my guru, and gained the method of practice.
This is the only correct way to survive in the esoteric realm.
This year’s big exam.
Just seven days later. If you can’t grasp the big exam in seven days, you will have to wait another full year!
At this time next year, take the big exam again!
But his research on the Five Classics.
It is still slightly lacking.
More importantly, he has no money!
In the scholastic school, monks do not need to pay tuition, but if you want to hire another famous teacher or have slightly better food, you will need to spend extra.
And what is even more fatal is that after passing the debate examination, a "big donation" will be held.
Each "big donation" requires about one thousand to two thousand taels of silver.
Donate highland barley porridge and copper coins to the monks in He Temple.
Only after completing a set of "debating scriptures", "exams", and "general alms" ceremonies, can a student monk be able to obtain the degree of "Good Knowledge".
Become a guru.
Received initiation.
Therefore, Lu Feng's current problem is that even if he passes the debate and exam, he still cannot complete a large donation.
He has no money!
Inside the temple.
There are many small families like him whose Dharma lineage has been cut off.
After completing their studies, most of them spend thirty or forty years working to earn money.
Work as handymen around the temple in exchange for enough silver to complete your degree promotion.
But for Lu Feng.
Stay here for thirty or forty years?
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
He can't accept it!
Thirty or forty years is too long, but it’s useless if he doesn’t want to. With no money, he can only study and work at the same time.
Lu Feng glanced at the letters passed by the surrounding chieftains or nobles.
In the Tantric realm, chieftains and monks have a mutually fulfilling relationship.
The chieftain needs the monks to pray for them, help them drive away evil spirits, and protect their safety.
Monks need support from chieftains and nobles to provide resources and support the temple.
Lu Feng quickly found a good job among the nearby chieftain nobles.
It is the birthday of the nearby Kaqila chieftain’s grandmother. I need a monk to chant sutras and pray for my grandmother for three days. The requirement is that he has a loud voice, a pleasant appearance, and can recite the Diamond Sutra skillfully. , "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", "Huayan Sutra" and so on, please the elderly.
But such a beautiful thing.
It is not an invitation to a monk.
It was a few monks who went together.
Competition for employment.
In the end, even if you don’t get the opportunity to chant sutras.
There will also be generous gifts.
The minimum guarantee is five taels of silver.
"This is it."
After studying scriptures for ten years, Lu Feng knew the scriptures required by the chieftain by heart.
As for the requirements of having a loud voice and a pleasant appearance.
Lu Feng is extremely upright and handsome.
The sound is like a ringing bell.
He is a good candidate for chanting sutras.
After confirming the direction, at dawn the next day, the temple door opened, and Lu Feng went to ask for leave. The elder had seen many such "work-study" apprentice monks, so he naturally waved his hand and let him go.
Monks can ride horses.
But Lu Feng was poor.
Don’t talk about horses.
Can't even afford a donkey.
He could only walk towards the chieftain's official village on foot. By the time he arrived at the chieftain's official village, he was already covered in sweat from morning to night.
Looking at the Tusi Official Village in front of him, Lu Feng could only say he was envious.
Lu Feng saw that the Tusi Official Village in front of him was surrounded by seven watchtowers. Soldiers with weapons on their backs were patrolling the surroundings. A large number of mastiff dogs were led by the soldiers, ready to pounce out and bite people at any time.
Seeing Lu Feng coming, these people gathered around.
Lu Feng quickly explained that he was a monk from a nearby temple and came to pray for the chieftain's grandmother.
The soldiers were also illiterate, so they had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to come out.
Just when they were communicating in front of the Tusi Watchtower Group.
Lu Feng rolled up the human skin roll and placed it close to his body. Suddenly, a picture appeared.
On the human skin scripture scroll, a kind old man wearing a robe and an emerald and agate necklace first appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the kind old man began to change, abstractly, and in less than a moment, he turned into a hunched-over figure with a tiger-like face!
The human face actually looks a bit like a tiger face!
Looking at this fierce look, it is the image of the grandmother of the Kaqila chieftain here!
Grandma Gaqila Chieftain is actually a sly creature?
Hidden in the watchtower where people live!
