Chapter 396 The Soul of Another World
Daozi, Daoist Master, Grand Master, Taishang Qinzhong... Any of these titles alone is significant enough. But all these identities belong to the same person.
Next to Chen Maosheng, his father in this life, Chen Shi, was even more amazed and said, "So, the immortal who rode away on a dragon was so extraordinary. So who is more powerful, him or Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Chen Shi was just a countryman outside Chang'an City, and his question was very practical. Facing this question, although Chen Shi did not have the influence of the "protagonist halo", Li Chunfeng still responded to him.
Li Chunfeng smiled faintly and said, "In the Chechi Kingdom, Taoist Master Lin Nan once convicted Guanyin according to the Chechi Law. They had a fight, and in the end, Guanyin died in Nirvana."
Chen Shi was stunned and speechless for a moment. It was hard for him to imagine that the well-known Guanyin Bodhisattva would be beaten into Nirvana.
Chen Maosheng was even more shocked, shocked by the strength and toughness of this senior time traveler. "Daoist Master Lin Nan, are you the Grand Master of Chechi Nation?" Suddenly, Chen Maosheng remembered something and asked this question.
"Not bad." Li Chunfeng nodded slightly.
"Master Li, you once went to Chechi to ask for a magical object. What magical object did you ask for?" Chen Maosheng asked again.
Li Chunfeng replied: "The divine object is called Daoshu, but now it is Tangshu."
When Li Chunfeng said this, his tone was inevitably ironic. But Chen Maosheng didn't care. Instead, it made Chen Maosheng more certain: "That Taoist master Lin Nan must also be a time traveler! And a very successful time traveler!"
Li Chunfeng suddenly looked at Chen Maosheng, and then asked: "Little prodigy, you seem to be very interested in Taoist Master Lin Nan."
"Of course, who wouldn't be fascinated by such an immortal?" Chen Maosheng said directly.
Li Chunfeng nodded and said yes. As he spoke, he looked at Chen Maosheng again and confirmed one thing: "The little prodigy really has wisdom. Although he is young, he is as smart as an ordinary person."
"After seeing you today, I can tell that your name as a child prodigy is not unfounded." Li Chunfeng glanced at him and asked, "Can I feel your bones for you, the child prodigy?"
Hearing this, Chen Maosheng's eyes lit up. Thinking that Li Chunfeng wanted to check his qualifications, he nodded and agreed.
The next moment, Li Chunfeng's big hand was placed on Chen Maosheng's body. However, Chen Maosheng was wrong. This time, Li Chunfeng was not trying to test his physical aptitude, but to explore the strangeness of Chen Maosheng.
After searching for a while, Li Chunfeng found nothing. He found that Chen Maosheng's body was normal and his soul was normal. This made Li Chunfeng frown slightly and even pinched his fingers to calculate.
But even after all the calculations, Li Chunfeng was serious, but he still couldn't figure out anything from Chen Maosheng. You know, although Li Chunfeng is best at observing the stars and practicing, and can predict the general trend of heaven and earth, if he only targets one person, he can even calculate the person's past and present lives clearly. At the moment, he was obviously serious, but he couldn't figure out Chen Maosheng at all. At that moment, he stepped into a hazy fog.
"It's really weird, extremely weird..." Li Chunfeng murmured in a low voice, his brows full of confusion. It was really difficult to comprehend the mystery of what he saw.
Seeing Li Chunfeng like this, Chen Maosheng couldn't help but wonder, thinking that there was something wrong with his aptitude, and hurriedly asked: "Master Li, what's going on? Am I not suitable for cultivation? Or is there something special about my physique?"
"Huh?" Li Chunfeng was immersed in his own thoughts and was stunned by Chen Maosheng's question.
But in a flash, he came to his senses and realized that Chen Maosheng had misunderstood. However, Li Chunfeng did not rush to explain, but followed Chen Maosheng's words and asked with a smile: "Why, do you have the idea of seeking the Tao and practicing?"
"Of course!" Chen Maosheng blurted out without thinking, his eyes full of determination.
In this short period of time, he heard about the existence of gods and immortals in this world. The thoughts of inventing to make money, entering politics and taking exams were thrown out of his mind. At this moment, the only thing he wanted in his mind was to cultivate and become an immortal.
After learning that there are immortals in this world, how could he, as a time traveler, be willing to continue to be an ordinary mortal?
However, Li Chunfeng shook his head gently and said slowly: "The road to seeking the Tao is full of difficulties; the realm of attaining the Tao is even more difficult."
“There are many people who practice Taoism, but only one in ten thousand can truly attain the Tao.”
"Practicing is by no means easy."
As he spoke, Li Chunfeng glanced at Chen Maosheng and his father Chen Shi, shook his head slightly, and continued: "Practicing means becoming a monk. The hardships and difficulties involved are not that simple."
As Li Chunfeng spoke, he walked out of the house without stopping.
"Hmm?" Chen Maosheng was stunned again. He thought that Li Chunfeng had spent so much time with him and said so many things, so he should have responded. But he didn't expect that Li Chunfeng just sighed to himself and turned around to leave!
Although he was a little surprised, Chen Maosheng quickly reacted. He hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Master, please wait! Please accept me as your disciple!"
Behind him, his father Chen Shi also hurriedly chased out and shouted: "Maosheng, you are the only child in our family, you can't become a monk and practice Buddhism!"
The father and son ran out of the house one after the other. But when they looked up, they saw that Li Chunfeng, who had just stepped out of the house, had disappeared without a trace!
Chen Maosheng stood there in a daze, feeling empty inside. He slapped his thigh suddenly, his face full of regret.
His father, Chen Shi, breathed a sigh of relief and advised him, "Maosheng, you are a child prodigy, born to bring honor to your family. How can you become a practitioner and leave home?"
After Chen Maosheng regretted it, he sighed and thought about his family situation in this life. He couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant. But as a time traveler, it would be a lie to say that he had no yearning for the way of immortals and gods.
"Although Chen Maosheng has some wisdom, there seems to be something else about him. Moreover, he is burdened with karma and worldly ties, so he is not suitable for practicing Taoism for the time being."
“However, he does have a natural desire to seek the Tao. Once he heard about the Tao, he was attracted to it and wanted to embark on this path.”
Li Chunfeng's figure gradually disappeared in the distance of Chenjia Village. As he left, he thought to himself and shook his head slightly. "If he was born in a poor family, he could rely on his own intelligence to pass all the schools and embark on the path of Taoism. Unfortunately, he is in the Tang Dynasty. If he wants to seek the Tao, it will be much more difficult."
"But it's not a bad thing for him to suffer more."
Li Chunfeng thought that he had no chance to be with Chen Maosheng, so he left Chenjia Village without any regrets.
In Chenjia Village, Chen Maosheng gradually calmed down. He wondered in his heart whether Li Chunfeng would test him before teaching him something. After all, in many ancient books, the Tao cannot be passed on lightly.
Throughout history, many famous immortals and Taoists went through various hardships and trials when seeking the truth. For example, the famous Lu Dongbin went through ten trials before he finally achieved enlightenment in his later years.
Chen Maosheng thought of these things unconsciously. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, and he thought that since there were Tang Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng in this world, there would naturally be other great masters.
Thinking of this, Chen Maosheng was no longer anxious, but instead felt more confident.
"Now that I know that this world is extraordinary, even if I miss Li Chunfeng, I can always find another way in the future."
Chen Maosheng thought to himself, "And according to Li Chunfeng, the Journey to the West has already started for more than ten years, and the group of people who went there to seek scriptures will probably be back soon. In this case, all the demons along the way to the West will probably be eliminated."
"If I can't find any truth in the Tang Dynasty, the worst that can happen is that I will go west to the Chechi Kingdom and seek refuge with the senior time traveler who traveled here before."
Chen Maosheng had this insurance idea in mind. But he still had many questions in his mind: "In the original Chechi Kingdom, after the Journey to the West group passed by, the three national masters were killed by Sun Wukong, and then the country worshipped Buddhism again. But now, according to Li Chunfeng, Chechi Kingdom seems to still be the territory of the Taoist Master Lin Nan."
"This Taoist Master Lin Nan, the senior time traveler, is a little too powerful."
Chen Maosheng thought about it for a while, then gathered his thoughts and decided to focus on the present.
"Although I am a child prodigy, my family has no land, and my father is just a tenant farmer. We can only rely on renting land from the landlord to grow crops. In this way, we not only have to pay rent to the landlord, but also pay grain taxes to the government."
"Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty is relatively open-minded. Taxes are not too heavy, and landlords do not dare to exploit tenants too much. The people can still live a decent life. With the corn and sweet potatoes, the land yield has greatly increased, and life can be a little better."
"But even so, this era... is too feudal and backward."
Chen Maosheng has now awakened his memories of his past life. As soon as he turned his attention back to reality, he immediately realized that the prosperous Tang Dynasty was not as wonderful as it seemed. At least, in Chen Maosheng's eyes, under this prosperous era, there were still shadows of backwardness and feudalism.
Even our daily lives are constantly influenced by these backward systems and ideas.
"So should I try to change this situation?" Chen Maosheng thought to himself.
Chen Maosheng was one of the more than one pound of "seeds" that Lin Nan threw down that day. In addition to Chen Maosheng, there are other seeds in this world. Although Lin Nan had made some arrangements before, it was inevitable that some seeds would encounter problems and not develop as expected.
For example, in the border areas of the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor was far away, and the remote place was far less stable than the inland areas of the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, there were still some chaos, bandits were rampant, and the government was powerless. There were still tragedies of families being ruined and families being torn apart.
There was a seed named "Fang Han". When he was born, his family was quite good and his father was a scholar. But they were robbed by bandits and the family was destroyed. Only the young Fang Han and his sister were left to depend on each other.
Fang Han was smart since childhood, but he was too young, and with his sister, life was very difficult. They became beggars and begged along the way. At the worst time, they even had to eat grass seeds and almost died of constipation.
One rainy night, Fang Han had a high fever due to constipation, and his younger sister cried beside him. It was on this night that Fang Han realized his past life and recovered his modern memory.
Just like Chen Maosheng, he had no memory of his reincarnation. Therefore, after he recovered his memories of his past life, he only thought that this was the Tang Dynasty in history.
Fang Han awakened his memory, escaped death, and continued to wander with his younger sister. But with the memories of his previous life and various experiences, although their situation was still difficult, they were still able to survive.
"Although the early Tang Dynasty was known in history as the Great Tang Dynasty, it was after all ancient, feudal and backward."
"This is a dog-sunset era."
Unlike Chen Maosheng, Fang Han had already felt deeply that this era was unfriendly to ordinary people in a short period of time. Especially Fang Han's successive experiences made him feel that it was difficult for ordinary people to survive.
This made Fang Han miss the modern environment and system. However, because he mistakenly thought that this was just the Tang Dynasty in history, Fang Han did not have any expectations of returning to the modern world. A bold and rebellious idea quietly grew in Fang Han's heart.
Living in this strange yet familiar era, he knows that he can no longer return to the modern era. However, the various systems and order of modern society are like a brand engraved in his heart, lingering. At the same time, the prosperous Tang Dynasty before him is full of dissatisfaction and flaws in his eyes.
In such a contradiction and struggle, Fang Han's thoughts gradually became clear. He felt that since the dynasty could not meet his expectations, he would simply change the dynasty; since the system was not satisfactory, he would completely overthrow it and rebuild it. This idea is undoubtedly a typical mentality of a time traveler, full of desire for the unknown and dissatisfaction with the status quo.
When this thought came to Fang Han, he was not moved at all. Instead, he felt that all this was natural and reasonable. However, even though he had such a grand ambition, the most urgent task at the moment was to survive in this world. After all, his current situation was too difficult. He did not even have the most basic household registration, and could only beg on the streets with his young sister.
Fang Han knew that survival was the most important thing. Only by saving his life could he talk about other things. So he temporarily put aside those grand plans and ideas and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the struggle for survival.
At the same time, in the distant Chechi Kingdom, in a hall deep in the Jiuji Mountain, a conversation about the Tang Dynasty was quietly unfolding.
"Master! Master!" Six-eared macaque rushed into the hall, anxiously looking for Lin Nan. (End of this chapter)
