Chapter 397: Entrusting the Red Lotus Realm

Just when Zhang Miao was considering being promoted to the Tribulation Realm, a piece of news suddenly disrupted his plan.

This is the news from Monk Baoshu of the Red Lotus Realm.

[Master, I have found traces of the black lotus. This beast is in this world. But this guy also discovered that I was secretly checking on him, and my actions were in danger. Please also ask the master to make plans in advance. 】

Got the news. Zhang Miao's heart moved. He also understood that the Red Lotus World was a small world. The so-called small world is a world where the upper limit of strength does not exceed the Jindan Yuanying. But the Red Lotus Realm is somewhat special. This world is the dojo of the Tantric Red Lotus Sect, and the Red Lotus Sect has also produced several major sects of Buddhas. However, because the Red Lotus Sect's behavior is very different from that of Buddhism, it is strictly restricted to the Red Lotus Realm by Buddhism.

There is a strength ceiling in the Red Lotus world, but the tantric monks of the Red Lotus Sect are not among them. If he wants to go to this world, Zhang Miao will not be able to advance to the Tribulation Realm for the time being. If he enters the Red Lotus Realm with the level of cultivation in the Tribulation Realm, he will definitely attract the attention of the monks of the Red Lotus Sect, and they might start a fight on the spot. If this fight breaks out, Hei Lian might run away.

If you want to go to the Red Lotus Realm, you must hide your strength...

Zhang Miao thought for a long time and decided to enter the Red Lotus World through reincarnation. He will bring a ray of his distraction to the Red Lotus World...

Small Thousand Worlds——Red Lotus World!

Today is the annual 'Mu's Birthday' in the Honglian world. Thousands of pregnant women gathered beside the Honglian River, waiting for something.

The meandering Red Lotus River is vast and long. This river runs through the entire Red Lotus World and is the mother river of this world. The name of this mother river is not only an honorific, but also has a practical meaning.

Tall red lotus lanterns lit up both sides of the river. Monk Laihong, the master of Yechuan Temple, and two novice monks were walking on the streets of Baishuichuan. The great monk held a prayer wheel in his hand while spinning the prayer wheel. while chanting Buddhist sutras. He walked barefoot on the ground, not caring about the stones on the ground that pricked his feet. The two novices behind him also lowered their heads and clasped their hands, and followed the great monk in reciting scriptures.

Monk Laihong is already very old, but the two novices behind him are handsome, fair, tall and mighty. As the three of them walked, people on the street also knelt down and bowed to them, bowing their heads and reciting scriptures, looking pious.

The three monks slowly walked to the Honglian River. At this moment, hundreds of pregnant women were waiting by the river. Pregnant women from villages and towns near Baishui River were concentrated here.

Seeing the arrival of the three monks, a woman walked out of the crowd and whispered to Lai Hong: "Master, all the registered pregnant women have arrived, and the birth ceremony can begin."

Lai Hong nodded and glanced at the women around him, who also bowed their heads and saluted him. These women vary in age. The oldest one is estimated to be in her forties, already looking old. The young ones are just in bloom, probably no more than twenty-eight. The only thing they have in common is that they all have bulging bellies and are pregnant.

These women were all more than six months pregnant. Some of them were attending a birthday party for the first time, and they still had some uneasiness on their faces. But most of the women had already attended the birthday party, and they looked calm.

Lai Hong's eyes glowed red. After observing for a while, the red light in his eyes subsided, and then he said: "The time has come. All pregnant people are invited to enter the Red Lotus River."

When these pregnant women heard this, they all walked into the river silently. On Mu's birthday, no matter what the weather is like, the river water is always warm. After all the pregnant women entered the river, the great monk sat cross-legged on a high platform by the river and began to recite scriptures loudly.

At the same time, countless similar scenes occurred along the Red Lotus River tens of thousands of miles away.

Sixteen-year-old Yaligan is pregnant for the first time. She was a little uneasy now. She was only seven months pregnant. Logically speaking, she still had three months until her due date. But it's different in this world. Today she can give birth to her first child.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The warm river water flowed through her body, and a force began to enter her body, making her belly become more rounded. The water of the Red Lotus River is ripening her child, making up for the last three months of development. She had known about this situation for a long time, but knowing it, she was still a little nervous.

She couldn't help but look towards the shore, and her eyes were on a novice behind Master Laihong. The novice monk had a handsome face and was the father of her child.

The Red Lotus Sect's orthodoxy prohibits marriage, and marriage is free. Moreover, women in this world are also willing to marry and have children with monks in temples. This is also a kind of charity. This kind of giving does not attract any moral condemnation, but rather makes others envious.

Yaligan is very beautiful, and it is an honor for her to be blessed by a disciple of Master Laihong in the temple. This is normal in the Guren world.

Just when Yali was thinking wildly, she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, and a thought arose in her mind - I'm going to give birth! ——

Red Lotus Realm, ten years later.

In Yechuan Temple in the Baishui River, dozens of children were reciting scriptures loudly. They stumbled over the difficult-to-read scriptures, but there were no mistakes.

Above the group of children was a fair-faced and handsome monk. The monk was wearing novice attire and was listening to the children chanting sutras attentively. After a while, the children's chanting slowly stopped, and the novice nodded and said: "Today's morning class is over, you can go home and rest. Remember, practicing is like chanting, and you should practice it diligently every day. "

After hearing this, all the children immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"

After saluting, the children left noisily. Duyan novice suddenly said to a child: "Lianzhen, please stop."

The child called Lian Zhen stopped and turned back to Du Yan. Du Yan showed a kind smile. He touched Lian Zhen's head and said, "You recite the Three Precepts Sutra very well. From today on, you can recite the Six Precepts Sutra."

When the child heard this, he nodded and saluted and said, "Disciple, I understand."

Du Yan smiled, then took out a bag from behind and said, "This is the food I prepared for you, mother and son, you take it back to your mother."

Lian Zhen nodded and said, "I understand."

After saying that, he picked up the bag that was taller than him and walked out of the temple slowly.

This child named Lian Zhen is the reincarnation of Zhang Miao's distraction. Zhang Miao was reborn in the Red Lotus Realm through reincarnation. His mother's name was Yaliqian and his father's name was Duyan. Yes, that Duyan novice monk was his blood father in this physical body. The customs in this world are completely different from those in the outside world. The monks here are not allowed to get married. However, this promise did not involve marriage. He had already made a great vow that he would worship the Buddha for the rest of his life and never marry.

But without marriage ≠ he cannot have children. In fact, Lian Zhen is not his only child. But Lian Zhen was his favorite child. Lian Zhen was fair-skinned, cute, sensible, polite, and wise. She was a serious Buddhist practitioner who was seriously cultivated by Master Laihong.

Duyan was very happy to have such a son, even though he couldn't really recognize him. So he often helped Lian Zhen's mother and son, while other illegitimate children did not receive this treatment.

Lian Zhen walked on the street carrying a big bag. Baishuichuan is a prosperous town. It has the only temple nearby, Yechuan Temple, which is the enlightenment temple for all the Buddhist seedlings within a hundred miles nearby. There is actually only one official monk in the entire Yechuan Temple, and that is Master Laihong. Then there were two novice monks who entered Buddhist scriptures, one of whom was Duyan.

These three people are the highest-ranking people in Baishuichuan. As for the other leaders, leaders, helpers, etc., they are all second-class leaders. In the Red Lotus world, everyone respects monks.

Along the way, many people greeted Lian Zhen, and it was obvious that these people knew Lian Zhen's identity. In the Red Lotus Realm, not everyone can cultivate Buddhism. Those who can cultivate Buddhism must have the root of wisdom.

This wisdom root is similar to the spiritual root, but it is not exactly the same. People with wisdom roots are about one in a hundred, and their chances are much higher than those with spiritual roots. After passing the guru's examination, people with wisdom can practice Buddhism in temples. Different from cultivating Taoism, those who practice Buddhism must first practice Buddhist scriptures. In the long process of practicing Buddhist scriptures, they will not be able to develop any Buddhist power, just like ordinary people.

After reciting Buddhist sutras a lot, these people will pass the exam. The exam is a test of Buddhist scriptures. Once they pass the exam, they can be promoted to novice monks and become the lowest disciple of Buddhism. At this time, they still have no Buddhist power, but they can begin to slowly polish the Buddhist teachings and strive for more advanced exams.

It takes three rounds of examinations before a novice can be officially promoted to a monk. At this time, they will have Buddha power. Yes, the initial Buddhist power is not obtained through cultivation, but through examination...

Lian Zhen is a person who is very good at reading. When he was born, he was recognized by Master Laihong as having "Su Hui". This is a higher level of Su Hui than Hui Gen. People with Su Hui learn quickly and have quick thinking. They are top-notch Buddhist seedlings.

With such qualifications, Lian Zhen is naturally more highly regarded by Du Yan, and naturally more respected by the people of Baishuichuan.

Lian Zhen carried the big bag back to his home. His family was a big family with more than 60 rooms and a population of about a hundred. Although his mother is not a direct descendant, she is more valuable than her son, so her mother and he live a relatively comfortable life. The mother and son have their own small courtyard, an old woman who cooks, and a maid who serves people. These two people are both collateral members of the family and were assigned to Lian Zhen's mother and son.

When he entered his home, people kept greeting him, and some wanted to help him with his bag, but he refused. When he returned to his small courtyard, his mother came out to welcome him, put down the burden on his shoulders, and said with concern: "My dear son, you are finally back. Mother misses you so much!"

Lian Zhen's mother is only twenty-six years old now. She has not given birth to another child since she gave birth to Lian Zhen. Many people were introduced to her by her family, and many were willing to marry her, but she refused them all. She felt that she might not be able to give birth to another child with Su Hui like Lian Zhen, and she didn't want to spend the rest of her life having children, so she would rather be single than get married.

In fact, Yali Gan is considered to be the first person to be married...

Lian Zhen pushed Yali Gan away speechlessly, and then said, "I'm going to recite sutras. Call me when you have dinner."

When his mother heard this, she couldn't bear to say: "My son is so diligent. Is it too hard? If it is hard, don't recite this sutra. Let's go to the back mountain to fly a kite."

Lian Zhen shook her head. Other parents hope that their children will succeed and hope that their children will work as hard as possible, but this mother is different. She is innocent and innocent. Even though she already has a child, she is still a little girl.

Lian Zhen waved her hand and said: "If mother is bored, you can find other playmates. I will try my first Buddhist exam next month. I also hope that mother will not distract me."

When Yaligan heard this, she said sarcastically: "I'm also afraid of the hard work for you. Okay, okay, you can go and read the Bible by yourself! Don't worry about me!" After saying that, she ran away angrily.

Lian Zhen shook his head. He returned to his room and took out a Buddhist scripture from the book box.

This Buddhist scripture is called the "Six Precepts Sutra", and it is a must-read Buddhist scripture for disciples like them who are not Buddhists. Tantra also has precepts, and the precepts are very strict. However, Tantric Buddhism respects a rule: "Everything is permissible without any prohibition." As long as there are no prohibitions in the precepts, then everything is permissible. Therefore, every Tantric disciple must read the precepts thoroughly to avoid making mistakes.

Zhang Miao read a lot of this Buddhist scripture, and the more he studied it, the more interesting it became to him.

For example, killing is the most serious sin in Buddhism. The first commandment is the prohibition of killing. But if we really don’t kill, wouldn’t the world be in chaos? Therefore, Buddhists have their own understanding of this commandment. A slightly better approach is to prohibit indiscriminate killing, mainly 'indiscriminate killing'. Those who make mistakes can still be killed.

But some sects have a very biased understanding. For example, in Tantric Buddhism, it is forbidden to kill animals, but not to kill cooked animals. Then you can't kill strangers. When you want to kill, you must at least tell your name and know the other person's name. This is not considered 'raw'. The same goes for animals. Tantric monks must eat meat, but cannot kill. So they would keep the animals for a period of time and then kill them, so that it would not be considered killing.

Tantric thoughts are perverted even to those who are perverted. The Red Lotus Sect is a Tantra among Tantras, and their thoughts are more extreme. Sometimes you don’t even know whether you are practicing Buddhism or Demonism...

Anyway, beginners of Tantric Buddhism do not learn the Buddha’s thoughts, but learn the precepts. Those who could not learn the precepts were killed by the tantric monks. Only if you learn well can you uphold your original intention and practice those messy tantric Buddhist dharma.

A beginner like Zhang Miao needs to study the "Three Precepts Sutra", then the "Six Precepts Sutra", and finally the "Nine Precepts Sutra". After completing the study, they can take the first Buddhist exam. If you succeed in the exam, you will be promoted to novice monk.

After being promoted to a novice monk, continue to study Buddhist scriptures. At this time, it is not just the precepts, but also various Buddhist scriptures. Once your studies are almost complete, you can take the second Buddhist exam. After passing it, you will become a senior novice. Finally, after passing the Buddhist exam for the third time, he becomes a formal monk.

Once you reach the level of a monk, you can formally practice Buddhism.

Zhang Miao was born into this world, and he must follow the rhythm of this world. If he does not follow the rhythm of this world, then he will be an invading evil spirit and will be killed. Yehuo Honglian Temple in the Red Lotus Realm is the largest tantric temple. There are so many masters among them that Zhang Miao doesn't dare to resist.
