Chapter 538: Daotong Monopoly, Opening One’s Own Path

With Mingjue’s help, Qi Sui’an “mastered” the characters in just one hour.

Then the other party left in a hurry without staying any longer.

The next day, a monk brought Qi Sui’an a copy of “Miao Lian Zheng Fa Jing”. From then on, Qi Sui’an only needed to abide by the precepts, study Buddhism, and then carry out simple practice activities.

The so-called spiritual practice activities are not cultivation, but participating in activities such as going to the temple, eating in the dining hall, chanting scriptures and meditating with others.

These activities can cultivate concentration and wisdom, and improve one’s level of practice.

Going to the temple refers to participating in the morning and evening recitations in the temple, while passing through the dining hall refers to the relevant precepts for eating.

There is no need to say much about chanting scriptures, and Zen meditation refers to practicing meditation through sitting in meditation.

This series of behaviors is somewhat similar to realistic practice, rather than fantasy or fairy-tale practice.

In addition, this is not just the case with Buddhism, the same is true with Taoism and Confucianism.

As for how to become a novice monk, that is also very simple. When your Zen mind is initially settled, you will become a novice monk.

After becoming a novice monk, one will have the supernatural power of initial meditation, which allows the novice monk to maintain inner peace, resist external interference, and strengthen his own willpower.

Yes, it does not directly increase combat power, but it is an auxiliary effect that enables the novice monk to carry out practice activities better.

Therefore, once one becomes a novice monk, the calm temperament he exudes can be seen at a glance.

As for relying on disguise, there is no point in that, because if you don’t have a Zen mind, you will be exposed after a long time.

Moreover, you will not be able to participate in subsequent practice activities, and your true identity will be exposed and caught on the spot.

The consequences would be more serious, so we would just drive them down the mountain.

“This is troublesome.” Qi Sui’an looked at the “Miao Lian Zheng Fa Jing” and the internal rules and regulations, etc. This was simply not an idealistic supernatural system that he could cultivate.

Another thing is that his character is not compatible with these contents. Not even a novice monk can achieve that, let alone glimpse of Buddha’s enlightenment.

If it were the devil’s way or the evil way, Qi Sui’an would definitely make rapid progress.

“So we can only continue to revise it.”

“But I have to find a way to acquire the foundation of Taoism and Confucianism.” Qi Sui’an knew that he was really not suitable for this path.

The basic name of Buddhism is Shami, while that of Taoism is Daotong and that of Confucianism is Tongsheng.

And there are corresponding levels in the six levels.

Novice monk, monk, master, eminent monk, arhat, bodhisattva.

Taoist boy, Taoist, Taoist priest, True Man, True Lord, Heavenly Master.

Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Gongshi, Jinshi, and Guoshi.

The first two levels are all about laying the foundation, and it can basically be said that there is not much combat effectiveness.

Most of them are similar to passive, and only after reaching the third level can you master extraordinary powers.

For example, Huixin’s strong physique, the scholar’s ​​ability to manifest magic with words, etc.

But there is a problem here, that is, the magical powers obtained by everyone in the same series are exactly the same.

At the same time, the strength and upper limit are also completely similar, which means that it depends a lot on talent and ability.

The stronger the talent and ability, the higher the utilization and development of supernatural powers.

What’s more important is that except for the third level, there is no such thing as a cross-level kill.

There is a chasm between each level, so it is impossible to defeat someone with a higher level of Taoism than yourself.

The protagonist is an exception. After all, the protagonist is an existence beyond the specifications, so Qi Sui’an did not include him in the count.

“This should be an alternative extraordinary monopoly.”

After Qi Sui’an finished muttering, he put down the scripture in his hand and started thinking about where to get the basic classics of Confucianism and Taoism.

“In theory, there must be some in Xingdu Temple.”

“So let’s go and take a look directly?” Qi Sui’an said, then he put down the book and went straight to the Sutra Library.

The Sutra Library of Xingdu Temple contains a large number of Buddhist scriptures, which are basically used as a spiritual practice to learn Buddhism and improve oneself.

So no one would stop them. Not only monks could enter, but pilgrims could also go there.

Qi Sui’an walked in so swaggeringly.

If the books in this library were placed in the hands of ordinary people, their value would probably be so great that even if the richest man in Guiyun City were squeezed dry he would still not be able to come up with so much gold and silver.

Knowledge and books have always been very expensive for ordinary people.

Qi Sui’an did not pay too much attention to these scriptures. In fact, the contents are all similar and they all spread positive energy.

This is one of their ways of cultivation, which is completely incompatible with Qi Sui’an’s mainstream system.

Fortunately, after some searching, he found the relevant information he needed in a corner of the Sutra Library.

After reading it, my heart sank completely.

Taoism and Buddhism are similar except for their different emphases.

Confucianism has the biggest problem. Although they do not need to abide by numerous rules and regulations, they also have corresponding gentlemanly codes of conduct.

However, their way of improving themselves was different, which was to take the imperial examinations.

No matter which identity you get, you will have the corresponding power.

As for cheating, Qi Sui’an is not clear about it for the time being. He has never participated in it, so he doesn’t know what it would be like to complete the imperial examination by cheating.

However, since there are extraordinary beings, cheating is unlikely to succeed.

If you can cheat successfully, it means that you have enough power. Why choose this path? “Unless you distort your thinking and mind, there is absolutely no way to enter the three extraordinary traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.” Qi Sui’an quickly understood his situation.

Of course, you don’t have to do it to yourself, you can choose to operate on the survivor avatar.

Just need to apply a patch.

The solution is simple, but he doesn’t want to follow the path of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. After all, the origins of these three schools have already been occupied by people.

No matter what you do, you will always be inferior to others.

More importantly, the saints, Buddhas, and immortals who are the source have the right to define and interpret the three traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. This means that any subsequent changes are just a matter of a word from them.

This means that once you start practicing, you will never be able to leave it for the rest of your life.

Even though he was just an incarnation of a survivor, Qi Sui’an never thought of sending him to be a spy.

And I can’t even do it.

The higher the level of strength, the stronger the sense of belonging to the Taoist school will be, and in the end you may even become a part of the source.

For example, those Bodhisattvas, immortals, and state figures may have already become the incarnations or transformations of the source without realizing it.

In the end, it’s just making wedding clothes for the other party.

But Qi Sui’an also understood that if he founded another Taoist sect, the subsequent troubles would definitely be huge.

But this is also what he expected, to plunge the whole world into chaos.

What to do next is simple, he can just rush in, this is his ultimate goal.

He really had no way of creating chaos through conspiracy and trickery, but if he wanted to create chaos through recklessness, he was very good at it.

It’s just killing, killing, killing. Simple.

After putting the book down, he needed to go back and sort out his thoughts.

After returning to the guest room, Huixin had been waiting for a long time.

“Brother Qi, after looking around the Sutra Library, did you gain anything?” Huixin recovered from his injuries in just one day.

Although we cannot resort to violence yet, this also applies to people at the same level.

“It’s okay, but I didn’t expect Buddhism to be so difficult to practice.” Qi Sui’an sighed, and he was telling the truth.

“It’s only the first day. Yesterday, Brother Qi couldn’t even read a word. Now that he can realize how difficult it is to practice Buddhism, it’s already a great progress.” When Hui Xin heard Qi Sui’an’s words, he spoke to comfort him.

But I was also somewhat relieved that I did not suggest accepting a disciple on behalf of my master at that time.

The other party’s qualifications were not as good as he imagined, but rather inferior.

Judging from Qi Sui’an’s expression, he didn’t gain anything.

Anyone with ordinary qualifications can understand some of the true meaning of Buddhism even on the first day of practice.

You have to know that it is impossible for most people to have the abbot’s disciples personally enlighten them with Buddhism.

Most people learn to read and write before becoming novice monks.

Through the enlightenment of Buddhist teachings, the efficiency of a novice monk’s practice can be greatly accelerated and the time required for success can be reduced.

This can be considered as the abbot’s investment and compensation to Qi Sui’an.

“I’m afraid this is not a common thing.” Qi Sui’an could tell the other party was comforting.

His thoughts were now much simpler. Since he could only create his own school of thought, it would be best to get out of this as soon as possible.

Anyway, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism will not attack ordinary people, they will only target people who are hostile to their traditions.

Since Qi Sui’an did not succeed in cultivation, he is naturally not considered a Buddhist and will not be targeted.

“It’s just that your practice speed is slow.” Hui Xin gave a tactful confirmation.

After all, he is my savior, so I can’t exaggerate.

“Master Huixin, please don’t comfort me.” Qi Sui’an said that he still understood something: “I’m afraid I’m not suitable to be a cultivator.”

“Let’s go down the mountain and find a job.”

These words caught Huixin off guard. You gave up too quickly.

It’s not even a day yet.

“Why don’t we practice for a few more days? If there is still no progress, I will go to the temple to ask Brother Qi for some Buddhist land and cultivate it at the foot of the mountain. How about that?” Seeing Qi Sui’an’s attitude, Hui Xin didn’t know what to say next.

But he didn’t want Qi Sui’an to leave like this. He always felt that Qi Sui’an was a blessed man, but his luck had not come yet.

With a little bit of luck, you can make rapid progress, even if you don’t soar to the sky.

“Then I will shamelessly stay in the temple for a few more days.” Qi Sui’an must have thought of leaving immediately, but this was unrealistic.

Even if he wanted to leave, Huixin would never let him go. How could he treat his savior like that?

“Brother Qi, you saved my life. There’s no such thing as being shameless.” Hui Xin thought Qi Suian was embarrassed.

So I continued to comfort him with a few words, and could only sigh that Qi Sui’an was truly simple and honest.

After chatting for about half an hour, Huixin left, apparently to take medicine.

Qi Sui’an began to think about the creation of the Taoist tradition.

“First of all, it must be consistent with the identity.”

“All three sects are based on identity.” Qi Sui’an found the common point.
