TV series: Daily life of male supporting role

Chapter 28: The Legend of the White Snake - Fahai 01

On the back mountain of Jinshan Temple, a bald little monk sat on the ground, looking at the jungle in the distance with a look of despair on his face.

"What sin have I committed? God must punish me like this!"

The little monk's Buddhist name is Fahai, the same vicious villain Fahai in the TV series "The Legend of White Snake" starring Liu Tao.

Fahai is five years old this year, and it will be another ten or twenty years before White Snake and Xu Xian meet.

The body is Fahai’s, yes, but the soul is not.

Inside this small body lives the soul of a 26-year-old man named Li Jiang, an ordinary civil servant who was only one day away from finding out whether he had succeeded in getting admitted. But...

When he opened his eyes the next day, Li Jiang found that he had become a five-year-old little monk who had to get up at three o'clock every day to attend morning lessons.

The little monk's Buddhist name was Fahai. Li Jiang suddenly had a bad feeling. Had he traveled to the world of the Legend of the White Snake?

The abbot of Jinshan Temple had a keen eye. On the first day that Li Jiang’s soul traveled through time, the abbot knew that he was not the original Fahai, and he was so scared that he almost lost his mind.

Finally, Li Jiang was so confused by the host's mysterious remarks that he finally heard the host telling him to practice well and become a Buddha as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Li Jiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Not to mention that he was originally a layman and his six fundamental impurities were not pure. Furthermore, he never thought of becoming a monk even at the lowest point in his life, and he knew nothing about Buddhism. How could he practice?

The holy monk can't do it, but the evil monk can.

After he said this to the abbot, he was beaten with three lashes with the cane and locked up in a cave in the back mountain to reflect on his actions.

Fortunately, Li Jiang's original body had Buddhist roots, so he did not go astray during his practice, at least not when no one disturbed him.

Li Jiang was a chatterbox in his original world. He would feel uncomfortable if he was not allowed to talk for a day. Only when he was taking the civil service exam, he relied on his obsession to pass the exam and insisted on not communicating with others for several months, so that he could prepare for the exam without distraction.

Now, Li Jiang said: I can endure staying in this cave for a month at most.

To encourage himself, Li Jiang picked up the Buddhist scriptures and began to read.

Ten minutes later, Li Jiang leaned against the rock behind him, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Li Jiang recalled the TV series "The Legend of White Snake" he saw in the original world. Before Fahai met Bai Suzhen, his life was very monotonous. He was either on the road of cultivation or on the road of exorcising demons. After meeting Bai Suzhen, he had the experience of disaster relief with her. Fahai began to appreciate Bai Suzhen, and slowly developed feelings that he shouldn't have, and for this reason he had a demon in his heart. In order to eliminate the demon in his heart, Fahai began to target Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian and others, and finally caused himself to go astray. Later, in order to make Shi Tian his own eye of heaven, he forced him to grow ten years older, and gave him a medicine that prevented him from growing up... The last scene was in a dreamland, and Bai Suzhen stabbed him with a sword.

Li Jiang was so frightened that he woke up immediately.

He patted his chest, looked at the night outside, and scratched his head in surprise, "Have I slept for so long? It's already dark..."

"That's not the case." A deep voice replied from behind.

A voice suddenly came from behind him, and Li Jiang was so scared that he jumped up on the spot. He turned around with a horrified expression and looked behind him.

"Humph!" The abbot looked at Li Jiang making a fuss, his face full of displeasure, "As a monk, how can you make a fuss over such a small matter?"

"Ha!" Li Jiang pointed at himself in disbelief. "Am I making a fuss? You were standing behind me in the middle of the night without making any noise. You were just trying to scare me."

The abbot walked forward a few steps and sat where Li Jiang had just sat, picking up the Buddhist scriptures that were casually thrown on the cushion.

"Fahai, how many scriptures have you read today?"

The abbot opened the Buddhist scriptures and asked Li Jiang who was standing there casually.

Li Jiang scratched his head embarrassedly. He fell asleep before finishing the first page.

Upon seeing this, the abbot directly turned to the first page and explained the scripture on that page to him.

Listening to someone else's lecture is more memorable than reading it yourself. Li Jiang knew that the abbot was teaching him with good intentions, so he tactfully sat opposite the abbot and listened to him lecture on the scriptures.

After speaking for two pages, the abbot opened the sutra and began to recite.

"Uh! Abbot, how about I review it tomorrow if you have a back injury?"

Anyone who can understand the entire text and recite it after just one lecture is a child prodigy. Li Jiang is not a child prodigy and his memory is not that good.

"Okay." Seeing that Li Jiang was really in trouble, the abbot compromised. However, he did not let Li Jiang leave the cave and go back to his room to rest. Instead, he let him rest on the stone bed in the cave.

Li Jiang wanted to refute, but the abbot said, "Fahai could have slept alone in this cave half a year ago."

Li Jiang: "..."

I'm not Fahai!

The abbot felt something and turned to look at Li Jiang, as if he was looking through him at the original person. He sighed and said, "Although I don't know how you possessed Fahai, and I don't know where Fahai went, I don't ask you to do exactly the same as him, but you must not humiliate his talent. Fahai is a child with Buddha's bones, and he will become a Buddha sooner or later... If one day you two exchange souls again, he will come back, and you will return to your own place."

After hearing the abbot's words and looking at his hunched back as he walked away, Li Jiang fell silent.

Yes, what if their souls were to exchange with each other someday? If Fahai knew that he had wasted his talent, he would definitely curse him to death.

All right! Isn’t it just learning Buddhism? As long as you are determined, you can still learn it.

Li Jiang held the scriptures and turned into the cave.

It is summer now, and there is only a thin quilt on the stone bed. Li Jiang lit a candle and prepared to work all night long to prepare for the battle.

Ten minutes later, the abbot came back and wanted to give him a few more instructions, but he saw Li Jiang who was drowsy while reading the scriptures.

The abbot shook his head helplessly, put the scriptures in Li Jiang's hand aside, covered Li Jiang with a quilt, looked at little Fahai's sleeping face for a while, got up and quietly left the cave.

The next morning, the abbot brought a senior monk over. According to seniority, he should call this man "Uncle Master".

The abbot went back and thought about it, and decided that the soul that occupied Fahai's body had no wisdom, so he should first find someone to teach him kung fu. If literary training was not possible, he could start with martial arts training.

After this incident, Li Jiang fell into a difficult martial arts career.

Ten years passed quickly, and Li Jiang, also known as Fahai, grew up.

During the past ten years of martial arts training, although he was unable to make up for his shortcomings in terms of literary skills, his martial arts skills were good enough to fight with his master for about ten rounds.

The uncle who taught him martial arts became his master.

His martial arts skills have been perfected and he has reached the age where he can go down the mountain to gain experience.

The day before he went down the mountain, the abbot and the master came to him one after another and gave him long speeches.

His master mainly taught him some ways to deal with emergencies. He must not let evil monsters off lightly, and he must distinguish between the good and the bad of humans and monsters, and not blindly trust others...

What the abbot said was much simpler. The core content was: don't bring shame to Buddhism. Let me suppress your evil theories. Pay attention to your image when you go out.

Li Jiang, although he did not have any wisdom, still developed his clairvoyance, but it sometimes worked and sometimes did not. This was why his master emphasized to him that he should be careful in distinguishing good from bad people.
