Chapter 347 Merit and Virtue, Saving All Living Beings

On the mountain path, a monk was walking with two beautiful women, one in white and one in green.

"Zen Master, what are these glittering gold things?"

Xiaoqing looked curiously at the glittering golden spots on the primordial spirit and stepped forward to ask.

Ever since they stopped the flash flood and saved countless people, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing have had specks of golden light on their bodies.

Fahai smiled and explained, "This is the merit of humanity. When you do things that benefit humanity, you will naturally receive the merit of humanity."

"Humanistic merit?"

Bai Suzhen seemed to understand something, as if she had realized something.

Xiaoqing looked bewildered: "What's the use of accumulating merit through human deeds?"

"It's very useful."

Fahai said softly, "Human virtue can help you avert disasters and difficulties, enhance your understanding of the Great Dao, and accelerate your cultivation."

"In the future, it will be easier for you to overcome the five major tribulations of decay of gods and humans. It will be like a ticket, a symbol, representing that you have contributed to humanity."

“Doing great good deeds, saving all living beings, and rescuing people will all bring merit to humanity.”

Fahai explained in detail the mysteries of human virtue and merit.

"I see."

The two snake demons then suddenly realized what was happening.

"Zen Master, you ask us to enter the world to cultivate ourselves, just so that we can accumulate merit in the human realm?"

Xiaoqing understood.

"Yes, and also wrong."

Fahai nodded and then shook his head: "Entering the world to cultivate is not only to accumulate human merit, but also to understand the universe and nature, and to cultivate a Dao heart in order to attain the Dao."

"Zen Master, aren't you a Buddhist practitioner? Why are you cultivating the mind of Tao?"

Xiaoqing asked, puzzled.

"Ouch~~"

Fahai struck Xiaoqing with his ruler, and Xiaoqing's eyes immediately welled up with tears from the pain.

"Whether it's the heart of Tao or the heart of Buddha, it's just a name. Buddha is a part of Tao. The path to Tao is to cultivate the Great Tao. All the ways of the world lead to the same goal."

Fahai explained it to them little by little.

He preached to the White Snake and the Green Snake, and along the way, under Fahai's guidance, they gradually integrated into the human world.

They truly entered the world to cultivate themselves, and along the way, the three healed the sick, saved people, and rescued all living beings.

As for saving all living beings?

He believes that true salvation requires one's own salvation.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish!

Instead of trying to save the world, you should teach it how to save itself.

Adhering to this philosophy, wherever Fahai went, he would pass on a martial arts manual, a Maoshan Taoist manual, various true cultivation methods from the Hundred Schools of Thought, and even the Buddhist scriptures he himself practiced.

In short, it spreads wherever it goes.

Fahai spread his teachings and saved all sentient beings along the way.

During this time, Bai Suzhen suddenly realized the truth after seeing Fahai's actions.

She diligently studied medicine, treated the sick and saved lives, and compiled medical classics to spread them little by little.

That day, the three of them arrived at Wuyi Mountain.

"This place is filled with demonic energy; a powerful demon must be lurking here."

Fahai looked at the towering mountain in front of him, its surface shrouded in demonic energy.

The three of them climbed the mountain step by step.

Fahai stopped in front of a rock.

Looking at the huge rock lying across the cliff face, it seemed like a stubborn boulder blocking the way.

"What a fine stone! Meeting it is fate."

Fahai seemed to be deep in thought, and immediately sat down cross-legged.

"Zen Master, what are you doing?"

Xiaoqing looked at him in surprise, quite puzzled.

Bai Suzhen tugged at Xiaoqing: "Don't disturb the Zen Master, watch carefully and learn well."

"Oh~~"

The two sisters sat quietly to one side.

Fahai raised his hand and unleashed a beam of white light that disappeared into the stubborn rock.

“I will recite the sutra for you a hundred times, hoping that you will understand your true nature and preserve a wisp of spiritual light so that it can take form.”

After Fahai finished speaking, he began chanting scriptures.

Surprisingly, the scripture I read aloud wasn't a Buddhist scripture, but a Taoist scripture.

"Silently reciting the Yellow Court Classic, the essence of Taoism arises naturally—"

Fahai held this thought for three days and three nights.

He chanted sutras for three days and three nights for a spiritual stone, and surprisingly, he educated the stubborn stone and enlightened the wisp of spirituality contained within it.

It obtained the true method of cultivation.

Buzz~!

The stubborn rock trembled slightly, emitting a hazy light.

It seems to be expressing gratitude to Fahai for his great kindness in preaching, teaching, and enlightening.

"Practice diligently."

Fahai smiled slightly and shone a light on the spirit stone, which would protect it from being damaged or taken away and refined into a treasure.

He then got up and went around the main road up the mountain.

After listening for three days, Bai Suzhen regained her senses, and the Daoist aura around her became increasingly strong, with even a trace of immortal spiritual energy surrounding her.

He was about to become an immortal.

Xiaoqing also gained something, but much less than Bai Suzhen.

buzz-

The spirit stone trembled, gazing at the departing Fahai, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing for a long time.

Wuyi Mountain is shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.

rustling~~

Suddenly, a patch of grass in front of us trembled.

A shadow flashed by, attracting the attention of the three.

"what?"

Xiaoqing looked over in surprise and saw a rabbit running away at high speed.

"A rabbit demon?"

She licked her lips in delight, wanting to eat it.

However, they dared not show it, clearly out of fear of Fahai.

"Not just rabbit demons."

Fahai raised one palm and scanned the area, discovering traces of many demons.

It wasn't just that one rabbit demon, but also a group of little demons, one of whom had a thousand years of cultivation.

On the other side, the rabbit demon ran wildly.

It hurriedly ran into a cave, passing through a faint light curtain to enter the cave.

"No, no, no."

“A monk and two great demons have come up the mountain.”

The rabbit demon rushed in and started shouting nervously.

"Meiniang, what happened?"

Several people emerged from the cave, led by an elderly man with white hair and beard.

Two flower fairies and a little ginseng spirit followed behind.

"Sister Meiniang, you said there are monks coming down the mountain?"

The little ginseng spirit asked somewhat nervously.

The rabbit demon, Hu Meiniang, hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Grandpa Shen, a big monk came down from the mountain, and he was with two snake demons. Their aura is terrifying."

"Two snake demons?"

"A monk?"

The old ginseng spirit's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Everyone, don't go out. Hide here first. Maybe they're just passing by."

"Maybe."

The demons were somewhat apprehensive.

The Old Ginseng Spirit is a spirit that has been cultivated by a thousand-year-old ginseng plant.

The two flower fairies behind them were just ordinary fairies.

The only one is the rabbit demon Hu Meiniang. The two had fought before, but eventually became good friends for some reason.

Boom!

Suddenly, the cave trembled slightly, and a loud rumble came from outside.

The fairies inside were terrified.

"Oh no, it's a centipede demon."

The old ginseng spirit's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Hahaha--"

“Old ginseng, come out quickly, I know you’re hiding inside.”

A treacherous voice came from outside.

A giant centipede transformed into a wisp of green smoke, which then became a young man with dark green hair, his eyes fixed intently on the cave.

He searched for a long time and finally found the location of the ginseng spirit.

As long as he eats it, his skills will greatly increase and his magical power will skyrocket, at which point even his father will be no match for him.

"Old Ginseng, come out quickly."

The centipede demon cackled, its body radiating a malevolent aura.

“Zen Master, this monster’s smile is so evil.”

"It sounds awful."

A voice came from mid-air.

The centipede demon's laughter abruptly stopped.

"Who?"

He turned around angrily and saw a monk and two alluring women slowly descending.

"what?"

The centipede demon's eyes gleamed as he excitedly gazed at the two alluring women.

"Monk?"

The centipede demon narrowed its eyes, secretly surprised.

"Monk, did you specially send me two alluring beauties?"

The centipede demon stared at Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing with gleaming eyes, completely ignoring Fahai.

Wow, you mud horse.

They're really bold, daring to court death in front of Fahai.

"You wretched child, you dare to spout such nonsense in front of me, you don't take me seriously at all."

Fahai shouted loudly and made a hand seal with one hand.

"I will annihilate you, body and soul."

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon~!"

Fahai raised his hand and waved it, and instantly Buddha's light shone everywhere.
