Chapter 47 Buddhist and Taoist Cultivation

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/  The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!

"Master, why? I can endure hardships, and I can endure hardships more than them!"

"This layman, you have hidden Buddha nature in your body. You must have worshipped Buddhist monks as your teacher. How can you come to worship me as your teacher again?" The old Taoist scolded.

Qiu Ming was stunned. He had Buddha nature and was seen through by this old man at first glance?

If the main mission 1 cannot be completed, let alone the ones behind it. Qiu Ming really plans to stay in this world for a while, but he doesn't plan to stay for the rest of his life!

"Master, you said that the Buddha's path has different paths, but the paths are the same. I have learned a little Buddhism, but only the "Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita" that I got by chance, which is the most basic scripture. I am the disciple's heart towards the Tao, so why don't Master be kind to me and bring me into the wall?"

Qiu Ming must fight for himself. Isn’t the old Taoist in the cartoon easy to speak? Wang Shouzhong said a few words just now, and he succeeded in becoming a disciple?

The old Taoist frowned, and the same end was the same? This sentence seems to imply many truths. This son is not like lying, and his mind is firm, but he has never seen a fellow Buddhist practitioner.

I heard that some people first practice Buddhism and then practice Taoism, and they have become first-class people of the Earth Immortals. Could this son have such luck?

Well, maybe you can give it a try. If it works, it seems that it can be broken through with another method that has stuck his bottleneck for so many years.

"Do you know that fellow practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism will conflict with each other. In the end, it is very likely that they will not be able to practice anything, but may also cause conflict and endanger life!"

What? If you practice Buddhism, you may die if you practice Taoism?!

It’s just possible, not necessarily. Besides, if he doesn’t join the Laoshan Sect, when will his mission be completed? Should he really live in this world with barren materials?

Qiu Ming gritted his teeth: "I am willing to try it, so I beg my master to accept me as my disciple."

"There is another way. I will transform your Buddha nature first. If you practice Taoism, you will not endanger your life." The old Taoist said slowly.

Transforming Buddhism? How can you do it!

Although Qiu Ming had not practiced Buddhism for a long time, he had saved him twice. Once, the mouse spirit wanted to eat him, and the river god threw the axe at him.

What's more, Qiu Ming felt that the practice of the Heart Sutra was getting smoother and smoother. Maybe one day he would reach what was said about abstinence of greed. He could visualize the realm of a Bodhisattva or Buddha in his mind, and how could he be dissolved?!

"I don't want to dissolve the Dharma. I accidentally obtained the Buddhist scriptures, but I have practiced for a while and it is closely related to me. How can I give up easily?"

The old Taoist nodded. If Qiu Ming easily agreed to transform into Buddhism, he would really not accept Qiu Ming as his disciple. If he could easily abandon Buddhism, one day in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he would not easily abandon Taoism. He would never accept such disciples!

"What's your name?" The old Taoist smiled at Qiu Ming.

Qiu Ming was so happy that he immediately bowed and kowtowed: "Disciple Qiu Ming, pay homage to Master."

"Qiu Ming, you and Wang Shouzhong are both my unlicensed disciples. You will not give the Taoist name for the time being, nor will you report the ancestors, you will not be recorded in the list, and you will have to undergo some tests. Only after you have truly passed my test and become my personal disciple will you give the Taoist name. Do you understand?"

"Disciple understand."

Generally, awesome people have to be tested for taking disciples. Just like Shaolin Temple in the movie, if you want to learn martial arts, do you have to carry water first?

"It's good to understand. Let Fengzhen take you to clean up a dormitory later. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the back mountain to chop firewood every day with Wang Shouzhong and other unknown disciples."

Chopping wood is a test of the Laoshan School. It can test whether the disciples have perseverance and whether they can endure hardships. If neither of these two things is gone, it is difficult to achieve anything.

The little Taoist boy came back jumping: "Master, Uncle Wang's room has been arranged."

"Fengzhen, let's arrange another room for you, Mr. Qiu."

"Ah? I have another uncle!" The little Taoist pouted, maybe he would leave again in two days.

Qiu Ming smiled: "Mr. Fengzhen, take the uncle to the room, I will give you candy."

When the Taoist boy heard the sugar eating, his eyes lit up and his saliva was almost flowing out. He took Qiu Ming's hand and ran quickly to the courtyard east.

"This room is empty, you can live in it, and there is a bedding inside. Shen Shi Sanshi has dinner, and the vegetarian hall is in the west courtyard, and the bell will ring. At some point, it is breakfast, and it will also ring the bell. You newcomers don't need to do morning and evening classes, just go to chop wood after breakfast."

"If you want to drink water, the toilet water is in the west courtyard, the hut is at the back of the dormitory, and the clothes will be prepared for you at night. I'm finished, where is the candy?" The little Taoist said in one breath, then stretched out his hand at Qiu Ming, looking expectant.

"Close your eyes and I'll make it for you!" If the supermarket hadn't found him a few pieces of fruit candies when buying spares, he wouldn't have prepared the candy himself.

When the little Taoist closed his eyes, Qiu Ming shook his right hand and a piece of fruit candy appeared in the palm of his hand. He quickly peeled it open, took the wrapping paper into the Sumeru ring, held the candy cubes in the palm of his hand, and bent down in front of the little Taoist.

"Is this sugar?" The little Taoist looked suspicious. The sweet candy he ate was not like this at all!

"I came from the northern frontier. This is the candy from our side. Do you taste it? Is it sweet?"

The little Taoist boy put the candy in his mouth and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Sweet, but why does it have a fruity aroma?"

"This candy is filled with apple juice, isn't it delicious? Go and have fun. If you meet a vendor from the north at the foot of the mountain one day, I'll buy it for you." Qiu Ming wrote a blank check for the little Taoist boy.

Experience tells him that young people are usually easy to fool!

"Well, Uncle Qiu, next door to you is Uncle Wang who is going up the mountain with you. I'm going to play." The little Taoist boy jumped away.

Qiu Ming looked at the room on the left, next door... Lao Wang lives?!

Snoring sounds came from the room. This guy really doesn’t recognize the bed!

After looking at the weather, Qiu Ming opened the doors and windows of the dormitory and took out the bedding to dry it. Although it looked very clean and there was no strange smell, it still had to be sterilized and disinfected.

I went to the West Courtyard to fetch water and prepared to scrub the house. When I met several Taoist priests, Qiu Ming greeted him warmly and called out to senior brother. Unfortunately, everyone seemed to have some distance from him, and everyone looked at him strangely.

Qiu Ming looked up and down at himself. There was no problem. He was wearing a hat and his clothes were clean. Could it be because he was not wearing a Taoist robe?

"Hey, Senior Brother Sun, guess how many days can the two people who went up the mountain to become disciples this time? Ten days or five days?"

Taoist Master Sun frowned and scolded: "Junior Brother Zhao, did you and my senior brothers make fun of you like this when you first came? They may become the master's personal disciples, our real junior brothers. Go and prepare Taoist robe for them and give it to them after dinner."

Master Zhao lowered his head and said yes, and left quickly. Why did he forget that Senior Brother didn't like to joke?
