Time is like a tide, as if a long time has passed, and my mind is even more like a slideshow, with countless pictures, lights and shadows, portraits... flashing one by one like a horse watching flowers.
When Ye Chen regained consciousness, feeling a cold scalp, he touched his head subconsciously.
Hmm... bald?
It seems that there are still a few scars?
This is... to become a monk?
Ye Chen is no stranger to Buddhism.
Whether in the world of Tianlong, the Shaolin Temple was destroyed, or in the world of Zhuxian, Tianyin was destroyed, or in the World of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty, he led a large army to destroy the Jingnian Temple in one fell swoop.
Anyway...
He and Buddhism seem to be a little bit out of touch.
but now!
Ye Chen turned out to be a monk in this world...this...this is really unbearable!
Subconsciously, Ye Chen closed his eyes and seemed to be digesting the information that suddenly appeared in his mind. With his current cultivation base, accepting these things was naturally only a short time.
In the eyes of others, it was just a slight squint.
"Huh, okay, okay—"
After learning about his identity and the world right now, Ye Chen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The world he lives in is an overhead world, and the historical background is somewhat similar to the Tang and Song dynasties in the real world, but it is somewhat different.
Monsters are rampant, and all kinds of strange powers are not uncommon.
Today's imperial court is named Da Chu, another name that has never appeared in history.
It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty. After six emperors, the Chu emperor is now in his prime of life and can be regarded as rich and powerful.
There is a way, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth life will be cut.
Although in Ye Chen's memory, Emperor Chu was not faint, and even tried his best to cure it, but at this time in the Great Chu Dynasty, all kinds of ills have also emerged in a swarm, and there are many political parties among the ruling and the opposition. The dictatorship, even Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the spy agencies that only appeared in later Ming dynasties, had already appeared in the Great Chu Dynasty.
It can be said to be extremely chaotic!
In addition to the ruling and opposition parties, the sages of the Buddhist and Taoist families often play the world, or cast down demons and eliminate demons, or play a game of red dust.
As for Ye Chen's identity, he is also famous in later generations!
That's right...
It is the monk Fahai who is entangled with the green snake and white snake in the song "Fahai You Don't Know Love"!
Fortunately, his current body is not the old monk with white beard and hair in the TV series, but it is somewhat similar to Fahai played by Zhao Wenzhuo in the movie "Green Snake" by Mr. Xu. The same heroic is extraordinary, and the cultivation base is advanced...
"Since I have come, I will be safe. Since I have become a Buddhist man this time, then I don't mind, use this identity to make a good break in this world!"
Although there is no fairy in this world.
But Ye Chen wouldn't think that his own cultivation is enough to run wild.
After all, in this world of fairy tales, when there is no balance, there will be an old monster, old devil who has practiced for hundreds of years and thousands of years, backed by the big tree of Buddhism, it can be considered to be somewhat dependent. .
"Well, interesting, interesting..."
After carefully searching the memory in his mind, Ye Chen also showed a hint of surprise.
His identity in this life is not simple.
Fahai.
Before he became a monk, he was the son of the former dynasty's prime minister, Pei Xiu, commonly known as Pei Wende. Although Pei Xiu has long since become an official, the influence of Pei's family in the official Lin is not low.
And Fahai is Pei Wende.
In the early years, he inherited the family tradition of the Pei family, and was considered a small name in the literary world, and was admitted to the Jinshi, awarded the title of Hanlin.
When the prince got sick, seeing all the famous doctors did not work. Pei Xiu sent his son to replace the prince to become a monk, and worshipped the founder of the Chanmen Weiyang sect at that time, and the presiding officer of the Miyin Temple, "Lingyou Zen Master" as a disciple, gave the title " Fahai".
After the ordination, Zen Master Lingyou ordered Fahai asceticism every day, first chopping wood in the mountains for nearly three years, and then transporting water for more than five hundred monks for nearly three years.
Once, Fahai sweated profusely while carrying the bucket and muttered to himself: "The monk is draughty, even if he eats it, it is hard to get rid of it."
Under these words, the more than 500 monks in the whole temple felt sick after eating, and they could not digest their food, but they did not know why.
Upon learning of this, Fahai, under the guilt, immediately ran to Zen Master Lingyou to admit his mistake.
And Zen Master Lingyou, after listening to Fahai's explanation of the causes and passages of the whole thing, said meaningfully: "The old monk can take away tens of thousands of burdens by meditation."
Subsequently, the barrier in the abdomen of a monk was completely lifted.
After this incident, Fahai was also deeply ashamed. He condensed his body and mind and performed wholehearted asceticism to serve the monks in the monastery.
And Fahai's sister, who missed her younger brother, traveled all the way to visit her younger brother.
I couldn't bear the toss of long-distance transportation of water between Fahai and the sea, so I donated money to the monastery to build a huge drinking water 磵 for the temple. The local people called it "beautiful 磵". Since then, it has solved the residents near Weishan and transported their lives for long distances. Difficulty with water.
Then...
Fahai completed his practice, traveled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and finally established a monastery in Zhenjiang.
The current emperor, the prince who was cured by Fahai instead of being a monk, is grateful for the kindness of the Pei family and ordered Jinshan Fu Yin to help build the temple, and the imperial temple was named Jinshan Zen Temple.
As for Fahai, it became the first ancestor of Jinshan Temple!
In other words, it means that Ye Chen's identity not only has a deep connection with Buddhism, but also has a deep relationship with the current court, and even the emperor, and is deeply favored!
"But... the green snake and the white snake are also a problem."
Ye Chen is no stranger to the story of the White Snake.
His current identity, Fahai, is an out-and-out villain in the Legend of White Snake!
The white snake in the plot was a little snake who had just cultivated a thousand years ago. It was accidentally caught by a snake man, but was rescued by a little shepherd boy.
Then...
The white snake, who has been practicing for thousands of years, was enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva. He knew that he wanted to become a fairy and he had to understand the cause and effect of this old age before he became Bai Suzhen. After thousands of years, he found the reincarnation of the little shepherd boy, Xu Xian, doctor of the medical clinic.
The two met on a broken bridge and fell in love at first sight. Under Bai Suzhen's deliberate planning, they became married.
As for Fahai, he was also ordered to collect demons and wanted to destroy the marriage of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. He made repeated shots in the plot and even captured Xu Xian at Jinshan Temple.
In the end, the water in West Lake dries up and the water overflows Jinshan.
Bai Suzhen and Fahai fought in Jinshan Temple, but they were slightly inferior and were suppressed under Leifeng Pagoda.
