The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 37 Officially Begin Cultivation

Tanzhou Weishan, the dilapidated Tongqing Temple.

"Old monk, are you not practicing Zen today?"

Standing beside the waterfall in the mountains not far from Tongqing Temple, Pei Wende looked at Zen Master Lingyou who rarely came out of the meditation room with a look of surprise.

As dilapidated temples, Tongqing Temple is only slightly better than the original Mulian Temple.

Although in theory, most of Weishan can be regarded as the category of Tongqing Temple.

But in fact, the real area of ​​Tongqing Temple is actually very small.

The main structure of the entire temple is just a main hall, a library, and a few small wooden houses that don't know if they are meditation rooms, kitchens, or wing rooms.

Even the water for daily life has to be carried by the mountain waterfall hundreds of meters away from Tongqing Temple.

In the past, Pei Wende's morning class was to fill the broken vat in Tongqing Temple with water to meet the daily expenses of the master and apprentice.

Of course, as a standard modern person, Pei Wende is naturally not willing to do this kind of coolie.

He has proposed several times to find a way to dig a canal to directly lead the stream from the mountain into the temple.

For this reason, Pei Wende made various plans and designs early on, and even planned to ask Gu Changfeng to help build a set of advanced water conservancy equipment.

For Pei Wende, who has the wisdom of later generations, this is not a big deal.

Wind wheel, keel waterwheel, wooden canal irrigation, pressure pump system...

Even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?
If it were not limited by the materials and manpower of this era, Wen Wende would have full confidence in tinkering with a simple water supply system.

After all, what Pei Wende wants to plan is not the water supply system of the whole city, he can still develop the water conservancy system of Tongqing Temple alone.

However, Zen Master Lingyou didn't agree with Pei Wende's approach, and even called it to exercise his mind and endurance.

Pei Wende didn't know whether Zen Master Lingyou's words were true or not, but he did exercise his will and body in the process.

Otherwise, it will be the body before the crossing.

Not to mention fighting ghosts, I was exhausted from climbing mountains and running on weekdays.

"Aren't you angry with that senior brother of yours? So I came out today to get some air."

Hearing this, Pei Wende immediately thought of Huiji who followed him up the mountain with a stern face.

Just as Huiji said, when he first met Chan Master Lingyou, he threw himself to the ground without hesitation and performed the master-disciple kneeling ceremony.

Zen Master Lingyou also seemed to have expected it, and accepted Huiji's kneeling very calmly.

It was also at that time that Pei Wende knew that although his master was practicing in Weishan physically, all the avatars and incarnations left by his early years had not disappeared.

"Senior brother, why are you angry with you?"

Hearing Pei Wende's question, Zen Master Lingyou, who was skinny but radiant, immediately glared at him.

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

"If you didn't instill some messy thoughts in him, would he want to do such outrageous things?"

"Anyway, neither of you brothers and sisters will give me peace of mind. Sooner or later, one day, I will cause a big disaster for me!"

He didn't say bluntly what Huiji was doing, but Zen Master Lingyou suddenly changed the subject when he said this, and shifted the topic to Pei Wende.

"How is the evil spirit in your body? Is there any change today?"

Seeing this, although he didn't know what happened, Pei Wende was very sensible and didn't get too entangled in this issue, and continued to follow Zen Master Lingyou's words.

"It's much better, I feel that I can practice formally today!"

He did not hide the excitement and anticipation in his tone, because this was Pei Wende's biggest gain during this period of time.

After Pei Wende took Huiji up the mountain, Zen Master Lingyou finally confessed his identity as a practitioner and promised to teach him to practice.

But the premise is that Pei Wende must first clear away the remaining evil spirits of the earth veins in his body.

Those earth vein evil spirits appeared in Pei Wende's body during the "Mulian Temple Incident", Huiji's previous actions were only to suppress them rather than eliminate them.

Therefore, for quite a long time before today, Pei Wende has been cultivating himself near the waterfall in the back mountain, recuperating his body and mind.

"Really? Come, let me see."

Without giving Pei Wende any room to resist, Zen Master Lingyou lifted his shirt, revealing the highly separated lumpy muscles and abdominal muscles.

Pei Wende's muscles are more refined and stronger than ordinary Lianjiazi.

Especially those muscles with sharp edges and corners, which are distributed in blocks, are rare features of this era.

However, on the surface of these muscles, some tiny scars that look like the cuticle has faded are clearly visible.

Inadvertently looking at it, it seems that Pei Wende's body used to have layers of fine scales, and then they were forcibly peeled off one by one.

And the fact is indeed the case, after being infiltrated by the evil energy of the earth veins, Pei Wende's body has the characteristics of a scale-like creature due to a mutation.

If it wasn't for Hui Ji's timely subduing of the magic seal to help him enter meditation, Pei Wende might have become a half-demon, half-human monster by now.

During this period of time, apart from cultivating his mind and character beside the waterfall, Pei Wende was also trying to find a way to re-enter that mysterious state of "entering concentration".

Naihe, although entering concentration is the first step on the road of cultivation, Pei Wende was still unable to enter the mysterious state of last time due to the interference of the evil spirit.

In other words, that state of concentration is originally the "state of concentration" exclusive to Hui Ji.

It's just that at that time, Hui Ji passed on the method of heart-to-heart and Dharma transmission, so that Pei Wende briefly experienced the feeling of putting him in samadhi.

"It's a little better than I thought it would be."

After checking Pei Wende's body, Zen Master Lingyou said so loosely.

Although the self-cultivation during this period of time failed to restore Pei Wende's body to its peak state, it also greatly weakened the influence of evil spirits on the human body.

Coupled with Pei Wende's superhuman physique and abundant yang energy, some sequelae are not enough to affect his actions.

On the contrary, after a series of baptisms of revolving lanterns and evil spirits, Pei Wende has reached the most basic requirements of "entering the Tao", both in terms of mind and heart.

"Since you are so impatient, let's practice formally today!"

As soon as this remark came out, Pei Wende's face immediately revealed a look of excitement.

From knowing that there are practitioners in this world to today, Pei Wende has been waiting for more than ten years, and now he is finally able to get his wish and truly contact with cultivation.

"Old monk, you must keep your word!"
