Sweeping the Infinity from Apprenticeship to Chen You

Fa Hai was still a little uneasy when he came out of the bamboo forest. The half-naked village woman seemed to be imprinted in his mind and could not be dissipated for a long time.

"Amitabha, Buddhism attaches great importance to observing sexual precepts." Fa Hai sat cross-legged on a huge rock on the edge of the cliff, chanting sutras to calm his restless heart.

At this time, after the heavy rain stopped, a rainbow appeared in the sky.

Warm sunshine shone on Fahai's face. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the rainbow in the sky: "The mighty heavenly dragon, all the Buddhas are merciful and give me the light of Bodhi. That's so good."

"Is it possible... a rainbow appearing after a heavy rain is a natural phenomenon." Lin Ge walked out of the bamboo forest, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the rainbow in the sky.

"..."

Fahai didn't know how to answer these words. He lowered his head and glanced at the Buddhist beads that belonged to the old monk in his hand, and sighed: "Good and evil will be rewarded. Those who do good will be rewarded, and those who do good will suffer bad consequences. Snake monsters, you must practice your own cultivation well. Everything It depends on your own destiny."

"...Well, I think you should take care of yourself first. Haven't you noticed that something has gone wrong in your practice?" Lin Ge asked.

Fahai was stunned: "Me?"

Lin Ge approached Fahai and asked with a playful expression: "Isn't the village woman in good shape?"

Fahai was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Lin Ge to know what he was thinking. He couldn't help but sigh that an expert is an expert!
"The young monk has insufficient concentration and practice, which makes the Taoist priest laugh." Fahai clasped his hands together with a look of shame on his face.

Lin Ge said with a smile: "You have only practiced for more than twenty years, and it is rare in the world to achieve such a level of cultivation. Buddhism emphasizes forgetting the world of mortals, cutting off the world of mortals, and cultivating in seclusion, but you have never entered the world and have never I have seen this colorful world, how can I forget and cut it off?"

"Love between men and women is due to human nature. You have been practicing in Jinshan Temple for many years and have never seen a naked woman. Now that you see it for the first time, it will linger in your mind. It is not surprising."

"Let's go, Master Tao will show you the prosperity of the world."

Fa Hai was stunned and said: "Ah?"

"Don't you want to get rid of your inner demons?" Lin Ge asked.

Fa Hai wondered: "But what does this have to do with inner demons?"

"The best way to eliminate inner demons is to face them head-on. If you don't even dare to enter the world, how can you talk about 'concentration' in the future?" Lin Ge said seriously.

"This..." Fa Hai hesitated.

Lin Ge smiled and said, "What? You don't dare to go? Are you afraid that you don't have enough concentration? Or... you don't have confidence in your more than [-] years of practice?"

Although Fa Hai was profound in Buddhism, he had been practicing in Jinshan Temple all year round. He could not resist Lin Ge's provocation. After some thought, he nodded in agreement.

"Please ask the Taoist priest to guide the maze."

"Let's go, Master Dao will take you to listen to music today."

"???"

……

When Lin Ge and Fahai arrived in the town, the sun had not yet set, the market in the town had not yet dispersed, and the streets were crowded with people.

Today, there seems to be some kind of ceremony being held in the town, and many townspeople are gathering in the center of the square holding something similar to "magic weapons" in their hands.

Lin Ge followed Fa Hai to a high platform and asked curiously: "It seems that you come to this town often, and you even know the best viewing point?"

"This town is the closest to Jinshan Temple. I used to go down the mountain with my master to beg for alms. But Taoist priest, what is the best viewing point?" Fahai asked in confusion.

Lin Ge said: "This is not important. What is important is... do you know what those townspeople below are doing like they are dancing like a bunch of demons?"

Fahai replied: "It seems that people in this town hold similar rituals every year to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings in the coming year. However, the rituals they use are not Buddhist rituals, but more like Taoist rituals. Taoist Master, you shouldn't Do you know better than me?"

"No! We don't have these monsters in our Taoist sect." Lin Ge said with disgust.

The reason why Lin Ge said this was because there were several strange-looking statues that looked like birds and humans placed in the center of the town square.

On the side of the statue, there is also a Nuo face "angry look" carved on it.

A group of people held up tin staffs with red ribbons and copper heads that looked like dragons and lions, walking in circles around the statue like a lion dancing or a dragon dancing.

You could say they are lion dances, but there is a sense of sacrifice inside and out. You could say they are sacrifices. The formations are weird and indescribable, and have nothing to do with the usual sacrifice formations such as those for officials, generals, and eight generals.

The key point is that the people performing the ceremony all have swan faces, dove-shaped heads, and rat eyes, which makes the ceremony look eerie and weird, more like a sacrifice to an evil god.

"It's good to ward off evil spirits and avoid attracting evil spirits." Lin Ge couldn't help but complain.

After watching Lin Ge for a while, he lost interest and started walking around the town with Fahai.

Lin Ge was dressed in ancient clothes and a scholar's hat, giving him a somewhat scholarly air.Although Fahai is not as good-looking as Lin Ge, he is also handsome.The two of them walked on the street and attracted a lot of attention.

In the center of the town, a small river passes through the city.

What is very interesting is that on the left side of the creek is a private school. Many scholars in the building are led by the teacher, shaking their heads and reciting ancient poems such as "The moonlight is bright in front of the bed, it seems like frost on the ground" and so on.

The building on the other side of the river is a very exotic restaurant. At this time, the building is full of guests, and a group of Indian-style dancers are dancing in the open space in the middle.

The music and noise were mixed with the sound of reading next door. Besides the noise, it gave people a strange sense of conflict.

When Fahai saw Lin Ge walking straight towards the restaurant, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Taoist Priest, isn't it bad for you and me to enter a place like this?"

"It's okay, I have money." Lin Ge said angrily.

Fahai: ...Is this a question of whether there is money or not?

"Let's go, forget what I told you before? If you want to defeat your inner demons, you must first face your inner demons!" Lin Ge stepped forward and put his arms around each other familiarly. With a little force, he "forced" Fahai to take him towards the court. Walk into the restaurant.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a well-dressed middle-aged woman came forward to greet them: "Please come in, two gentlemen. Oh, you two are so handsome. The girls in our store will be very happy." Our store specially invited a song and dance troupe from the Western Regions to perform today, and you see, these are all here because of their reputation."

Although the madam was a little confused about Fahai's status as a "monk", after all, no monk had ever visited the store in the more than ten years since it opened.

But the madam knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he just introduced today's program to Lin Ge and the other two, leading them all the way to the back.

Lin Ge took out a piece of silver and put it in the old madam's hand, and said with a smile: "I am very interested in the song and dance troupe of the Western Regions. I will arrange a location with the best view for us."

"No problem, no problem!" The old madam weighed the money in her hand, her face almost bursting into laughter.

Fahai looked at the silver in the old bustard's hand and said, "The Taoist priest is really generous. This ingot of silver is enough to cover the expenses of Jinshan Temple for one month."

"It seems that your Jinshan Temple is living very hard. Next time I rob the rich and give to the poor, remember to include your Jinshan Temple," Lin Ge replied.

Fa Hai: ...rob the rich and give to the poor?
Wait, is this silver...

Fahai looked surprised and was about to ask, but the madam had already led the two of them to the "best" position to watch the Western Region Song and Dance Troupe take its first seat.

At this time, there were several young men nearby, surrounded by beautiful women, drinking and having fun.Seeing Lin Ge and a monk sitting next to him, he couldn't help but cast a doubtful look.

"You two sit down first. I'll tell the sisters to come down right now." The madam took the money and left the hall happily.

At this time, the young master on the side raised his glass to Lin Ge: "The fourth young master of the capital, Wan Dekai, loves to make friends from all over the world. What should I call you?"

Lin Ge poured a glass of wine, raised the glass and said, "Johnny, I like to listen to music the most. This is my friend who is preparing to return to secular life, Bu Dongai."

"Brother Qiang, Brother Bu, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Seeing Lin Ge being polite to these playboys, Fa Hai once again lamented in his heart how powerful Lin Ge was. He was out of the world, could talk to you about Buddhism, and could chat with people, drink and drink, and do whatever he wanted in his state. It was really " "Master!"

[Affected by the "charm value", the favorability of the plot character Fa Hai towards you will increase. 】

ha?
Now it was Lin Ge's turn to be stunned. How come he and the playboy next door were chatting about girls, but instead they made Fa Hai's favorability level rise?

Do you think this guy is a slut?

At this time, the red dancer in the venue led a group of scantily clad yellow dancers, dancing in the middle of the Western style dance, and the familiar music "Mohuraka" also sounded.

Lin Ge had previously used the gramophone to play this BGM to summon the python god. Unexpectedly, he brought the reincarnation of the python god to Goulan to listen to the music today.

The movements of the dancers in the field became more and more enchanting. Lin Ge held the wine glass and watched with interest. Fahai's eyes were filled with panic, so he could only close his eyes and chant sutras to stabilize his mind.At this moment, Fahai suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. He felt two waves of demonic energy suddenly attacking him. He was about to get up, but Lin Ge raised his hand and pushed him back.

"Be calm and don't be impatient." Lin Ge said.

Fahai said: "Taoist Master, up here..."

"Just an old friend."

"Old friend?"

Suddenly, with a "bang", a naked figure fell from the roof, with a shriveled green snakeskin wrapped around her body.

This woman was the "Green Snake" who had just transformed into a human form tonight. Facing the surprised looks of the people around her, she didn't feel any discomfort at all. Instead, she danced with a vague twist of her body.

At this time, a red silk scarf floated down from upstairs, and the green snake wrapped it around her body, showing the softness that a "snake" should have. Her dancing posture even stunned the dancer in red who was good at this Western dance. .

Then, the green snake "swam" behind the red dancer, and danced against her body again. The scene in Fahai's mind... could only be described as "unsightly".

Lin Ge listened to the music with great interest and watched the green snake dance. Under the guidance of the green snake, the dancers also danced together.

Green Snake also noticed Lin Ge and Fahai at the wine table, and cast a wink at them, but Fahai stared back with cold eyes.

The green snake didn't care and continued dancing.

Fa Hai wanted to get up, but Lin Ge pushed him back down again and asked with interest: "Why, do you want to dance too?"

"Taoist Master, I'll take my leave first, this young monk. This is not a suitable place for a young monk," Fahai said.

Lin Ge smiled and said, "Why, your concentration is gone again?"

"This……"

"Sit down and take your time."

Lin Ge picked up the wine glass, rubbed the stem of the glass slightly and said: "The inner demon is something that can be easily overcome or difficult to overcome. Whether it is true or false depends on whether you can overcome it or not. In this colorful world that is becoming more and more charming, recognize your true self. A Buddhist master once said that humans are born from human beings and demons are born from demons. The difference is only in appearance... "

Fa Hai was thoughtful when he heard the words. After a while, his eyes lit up: "Taoist Master, I understand. What you mean is to see through the appearance to get the truth. You cannot judge everything by its appearance, but look at its inner nature. People are divided into good people. Bad people and monsters can also be divided into good monsters and bad monsters, so we can’t generalize them, right?”

Lin Ge: ...Uh.

"Well, that's pretty much what it means." Lin Ge nodded seriously.

As if he had figured it out, Fahai sat back down and looked calmly at the green snake dancing with the dancer in the field, his eyes clearing up.

[Affected by the "charm value", the favorability of the plot character Fa Hai towards you will increase. 】

Lin Ge: ...Uh.

as long as you are happy.

……

On the roof, the white snake, which had also transformed into a human form, looked at the green snake dancing in the pool, smiled helplessly, and looked at the private school on the other side where the sound of reading could be heard.

She is more interested in private school than restaurant.

At this time, a handsome teacher in the private school was scolding the students for not paying attention to the class, and was fascinated by the music in the restaurant.

Seeing that righteous look, White Snake couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, an old man and two young men walked out of the path in the distance and walked along the river towards the private school.

The old man was wearing a gray Taoist robe, carrying a basket on his back and a string of red lanterns. He seemed to be blind and was being led forward by two little Taoist boys one after the other.

"Huh? Apprentice, there is something going on." The old Taoist suddenly stopped and turned his head to listen.

The two little Taoist boys suddenly became alert: "Really? Master? What did you find?"

At the same time that the old Taoist noticed the white snake and the green snake, the white snake hiding in the river also noticed him. He immediately frowned and the kneading technique turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

The old Taoist turned his head towards the river and laughed loudly: "Hehehe, I guess you are a fast runner, let's clear the way."

"Yes, Master!"

As the old Taoist walked, he rang the copper bell and read loudly: "The flowers are flying in the spring city, snakes and insects are chasing everywhere, I am not afraid of evildoers, my Tao shows its power."

When passing by the restaurant, the old man suddenly stopped, listened attentively, and snorted: "Humph, there is actually one hiding here!"

Jingle Bell.

The old Taoist shook the copper bell in his hand violently. Green Snake, who was dancing passionately next to the red-dressed dancer on the dance floor, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He fell to the ground holding his head and was in excruciating pain.

The dancers panicked for a moment and gathered around the green snake to check the injury.

Lin Ge put down the wine glass, raised his hand and flicked a lucky star out of the window.

The lucky star turned into a golden light and flew out, just hitting the copper bell raised by the old man. The clear "ding" sound made the old man's arm go numb.

"Huh? There are actually experts here? Since there are experts sitting here, it's really because I'm meddling in my own business. Hahaha." The old Taoist laughed.

At this time, Lin Ge used Ladder Cloud to fly out of the window and landed in front of the old Taoist. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I am a ninth-generation true disciple of the Qing sect No. 90 on Xia Mao Mountain. I have met my senior. I just heard that my senior used the soul-suppressing bell to be so miraculous. I almost caused the snake demon to show its true form, and I was itchy for a while, I hope senior won't be surprised."

"It turns out he is a true disciple of the Shangqing Sect. No wonder he has such ability." The old Taoist praised with a smile. This compliment was truly sincere, because he really felt Lin Ge's powerful spiritual power in that blow.

Lin Ge explained: "The snake demon is one green and one white. The heavy rain at noon once protected a village woman who was giving birth. I calculated that these two snakes would transform tonight, so I came here with the abbot of Jinshan Temple to inspect the two snakes." One snake monster is good or evil, and the other is a friend who can overcome his inner demons.”

"Oh?" The old Taoist was about to speak when he saw Fahai also walking out of the restaurant and came to stand in front of a few people.

"The young monk Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, has met the Taoist priest." Fahai had just heard the ringing of the copper bell to suppress demons, and knew that this old Taoist was an expert who had come to the world to help the people, so his tone suddenly became more polite.

The old Taoist laughed heartily and said: "If I had known that you two were here, I would have taken action in any turn. Since the two of you are testing the character of the snake demon, I will not disturb you anymore and leave you alone."

"Good luck, charterer." Lin Ge said with a smile.

The old Taoist turned around in confusion: "Charterer?"

"Oh, this is our honorific title for the wandering martyrs. The universe is our home. Since it is our home, we have to take extra care to prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants so that the people in the world can live in peace of mind. Don't you think so?" Lin Ge started his casual nonsense mode again.

Hearing these words, the old Taoist laughed again: "Well said, well said. This 'charterer' is indeed very suitable to describe our Taoist priests who go around slaying demons and demons. Hahaha!"

Looking at the retreating figures of the old Taoist and his two disciples, Lin Ge was thoughtful.

Ever since he entered reincarnation, he had deceived Fahai, led him to listen to music, and deliberately fought with old Taoists. It seemed that Lin Ge's every step was unstructured and he seemed to be doing it randomly.

In fact, it is because the reincarnation target this time has the ability to "replace plot characters" similar to Black Umbrella, and also entered "Green Snake" three years before the plot unfolded. At this moment, there is a high probability that he has replaced a certain plot character. "Immersive" "Experience plot.

Although I have only been in contact with Fahai for a day, I can still determine Fahai's identity and there should be no problem, unless the reincarnator is more proficient in Buddhism than Fahai.

Although this veteran didn't appear much in the play, he could tell that he had some skills, and he looked very much like the actor who played the landlord, so Lin Ge used "gimmicks" to test him.

The only two positive characters in the play who can fight against the green snake and the white snake are not suspected. There is a high probability that they are the protagonist who wants to be a "snake manipulator" - Xu Xian.

According to the idea that can replace the plot characters, seize Xu Xian's identity and deceive the white snake, or work harder to include the green snake, and then solve the big hidden danger of Fahai.In the end, Gou grew up in this world with a beautiful woman (demon) in his arms, and became a proper protagonist template.

Lin Ge looked at the private school on the other side, his eyes turned into double pupils. Unfortunately, the other party was obviously not "evil" and there were no clues.

Fahai noticed Lin Ge's gaze and asked curiously: "Taoist Priest, have you discovered anything?"

"No, it's okay." Lin Ge smiled, looked at the stall in the distance and said, "Since we don't want to listen to music anymore, let's go have a midnight snack!"

"Night snack?"

"How about snake soup?"
