Female Buddha

Chapter 123 Sharpening Stone

It was a big surprise for the Buddhist sect that Qingli entered the relic realm.After all, the Buddha is the representative of the Buddhist sect to the outside world.Qingli's strength is higher, and she has more confidence when dealing with other sects.Because of the simple ceremony of Qingtan's promotion to elder, the hosts and elders of each branch temple, plus two elite disciples from each branch temple, rushed to Fahua Temple in advance.Master Qingyue, the abbot of Jingyun Nunnery, which only accepts female disciples, also came with her eldest disciple.

To say that Qingli is quite curious about Jingyun Nunnery, which only accepts female disciples, after all, there are quite a few female Buddha cultivators, except for her, all of them are concentrated in Jingyun Nunnery.It was only after Qingli saw Master Qingyue and her eldest disciple Heng Jing that she belatedly remembered that all the female disciples in Jingyun Nunnery had undergone the shaving ceremony.Heng Jing is only 80 years old this year, but she has already entered the relic realm.She can be regarded as the most qualified disciple in Jingyun Nunnery.Because Jingyun Nunnery only recruits female disciples, and Jingyun Nunnery has little communication with the branch temples, Heng Jing once thought that she was really an amazing and brilliant figure in the entire cultivation world.

Buddhist cultivators are also human beings, even if what they pursue is the emptiness of the four elements and the detachment from the world.However, before they became Buddhas, they always had the bad roots of human beings.Heng Jing, as the default host of Jingyun Nunnery, has always lived in the admiration and praise of her junior sister and nephew.This inevitably made her feel proud.She also knew that the disciples in Fahua Temple, the ancestral temple, were the real geniuses.But she thinks her qualifications are not bad.It is only because she is a female Buddhist cultivator that she can only enter Jingyun Nunnery.However, eight years ago, the news that Qingli, as a female disciple, was accepted by Master Liaoyuan of Fahua Temple made Hengjing very upset.She didn't think that she was inferior to Qingli, it must be because of her bad luck that she was relegated to Jingyun Nunnery.Because of this, she has been jealous of Qingli in her heart.Although she also knew that her mentality was wrong, she still couldn't break through the confusion.

Of course Master Qingyue knew that her disciple's mentality was inappropriate, she had mentioned it a few times but had little effect.This time, she brought Heng Jing here to let her apprentice, a frog in a well, see what it means to be a truly talented person.

To be honest, the more outstanding a person is, the easier it is to feel proud.This is human nature.The reason why the disciples of Fahua Temple can maintain a stable mentality is because the people around them are all monsters, and it is really not easy to tell who is high or who is low.Because they can't be completely outstanding, they really don't think how great they are.Maybe they won't be able to find out how good they are from the comparison until they go out for training.However, a good mentality has already been formed at that time, so it will not happen that some disciples feel that they are pretentious.

On the way to Fahua Temple, Qingyue and Hengjing met Master Qinghui, the abbot of Yaowang Temple and the elder who taught the practice.They also had the poor disciple Heng Shu with them.Hengshu is over 60 years old this year, and he has cultivated in the late stage of the relic realm.This made Heng Jing's sense of superiority disappear immediately.But she comforted herself that there are people outside the world.Besides, the Buddhist sect is basically a world dominated by male Buddhist cultivators, so it’s normal that she can’t compete with them.This is also due to the sequelae of Qingyue being taught by her mother who favored sons over daughters before she became a monk.The closer they got to Fahua Temple, the more people they met from various branches of Fahua Temple.Hengjing found that the disciples of Heng's generation were better than herself, which made her even more convinced that it was easier for men to practice Buddhism.

In fact, the elite disciples from each branch temple who came this time are candidates for the next chairperson of each branch temple.All of them have reached the relic realm, and none of them are over a hundred years old.It's not like they don't have the same mentality as Hengjing.It's just that the scale of each branch temple is much larger than that of Jingyun Temple, and there are also many talents inside.Although these people stood out from the disciples and obtained the qualifications of presiding candidates, their competitors were not much worse than them.Therefore, their mentality is much more peaceful than that of Hengjing.But in general, they are quite confident in their qualifications and cultivation.

The abbots of each branch temple certainly knew the thoughts of these elite disciples.I think that's how they came here at the beginning.The reason why they brought these disciples to the ancestral temple was also to let the reality hit their pride.Only after passing the mentality test can the qualifications of these disciples as the next hosts be truly determined.When entering Fahua Temple, the young monks of the Jingzi generation who entered the Juyuan period are only about ten years old.This made a group of [-]th and [-]th-year-old branch temple management disciples instantly feel pain in the face.No wonder the elders in the temple smiled auntly every time they saw themselves complacent because of a little achievement.It turns out that the big move is here.

The disciples of the branch temple who came this time are all disciples of the Hengzi generation.And the disciples of the Hengzi generation of Fahua Temple are busy with Qingtan's ascension to elder ceremony under Qingli's arrangement.Therefore, those who are responsible for receiving the disciples of the branch temples are all disciples of the Jingzi generation of Fahua Temple.After this group of elite disciples met the disciples of Hengzi's generation, they found that none of them were not much older than them, but none of them were in the realm of the little golden body. The pride in these people's hearts was instantly blown to ashes.

Except for Heng Jing who was more convinced of the fallacies in her heart, the other disciples felt a little bit disappointed.However, since they can be selected as candidates for the next abbot of the branch temple, they naturally have their advantages.But in just a few days, they adjusted their mentality, and the aura around them became more peaceful.Such a change made the abbots and elders of the various branch temples nod An'an, feeling very relieved.

Qingyue is actually a little disappointed that Hengjing's mentality problem has not been resolved.But she also knew that her apprentice was not admitted to Jingyun Nunnery until she was ten years old.Girls at this age already know things, and certain concepts have already been formed.There are not many disciples in Jingyun Nunnery, and the environment is simple.On the contrary, disciples with some experience like Heng Jing are more likely to be enlightened.So Qingyue also knew that if she didn't act ruthlessly, Heng Jing might not be able to get out of her own confusion.The person she was looking for to attack Hengjing this time was Qingli.It's just that Qingli, as a disciple of the Buddha, has been very busy recently.When they entered the temple, they went to visit the elders and met there.These disciples will have the opportunity to meet Qingli when Qingtan's promotion to Elder Yishi is held.

When these elite disciples saw Qingli, it wasn't just Heng Jing who was hit.Even these disciples who had finally corrected their mentality began to doubt whether they were too bad.Nima's 12-year-old relic realm makes them feel complacent when they entered the relic realm in their decades.The face was swollen.A group of disciples looked at their master and elders with mournful eyes.What you get is these bigwigs stroking their bearded aunts and laughing.A group of people couldn't be more worried.Sure enough, it was the people who came back from Fahua Temple to serve as the abbots of the branch temple, and they were all unfathomable.They should be more honest in the future.

The one who was hit the hardest was Heng Jing.In fact, she has always had the view that women are inferior to men.Even if she later became a Buddhist cultivator, she couldn't dilute this point of view much.However, at this moment she realized that it is not that women are inferior to men.Women can also be more stunning than men.She recalled the elite disciples she had seen from other branch temples, was she really inferior to them in aptitude?No, it is not.Perhaps their aptitude is between equals.The reason why she lagged behind might be due to her qualifications, but more because she didn't work hard enough and her mentality was not right.That Buddha son Qingli might really be very talented.However, she was able to cultivate to the relic state at a young age, which is definitely due to painstaking efforts in her practice.A female disciple became a Buddhist disciple of the Buddhist sect, which completely overturned Heng Jing's view that women are not as good as men.The maze that had fettered her for many years suddenly dissipated, and her heart was empty.

She no longer needs to be confined to the world of women, and no longer needs to think about being competitive.She should slow down her pace, polish her state of mind, and move forward step by step.At this moment, Hengjing entered the relic realm, which had been somewhat unstable, and became very firm, and the breath around him became more and more harmonious.Seeing this, Qingyue nodded secretly, feeling that what she did was indeed right.

And the disciples of Fahua Temple headed by Qingli were brought by the abbots and elders of the branch temples to make a whetstone for their disciples. No one except the elders of Fahua Temple and the abbots knew about it.In fact, this is another function of the existence of Fahua Temple.Over the years, batch after batch of elite disciples from the sub-monastery have come to Fahua Temple, and they have been polished into gentle and beautiful jade by the disciples of Fahua Temple.
