I have a little bit of talent

Buddhism is located in Chanzhou. Although the state is vast, it has more than tens of millions of people.

However, due to the supervision of the Zhou Dynasty court, it is impossible for Buddhists to force anyone to become a disciple just because they see a good candidate.

All they could do was to persuade the people to believe in Buddhism and worship Buddha, and increase the number of believers. Over time, the Buddhists had quite a few Buddhist believers in Chanzhou.

These Buddhist believers are the real foundation of Buddhist disciples.

But it is just a state after all, and Chanzhou is located in the west of Da Zhou. Although the terrain is high, it is somewhat barren and cannot be compared with the prosperous states in the central and eastern parts.

The talents in Chanzhou alone obviously cannot meet the requirements of Buddhism to recruit disciples.

Therefore, over the years, eminent Buddhist monks have traveled around the country to see if they can find talented people to take under their wing and bring them back to Chan Prefecture for practice.

Although most of the talents from places other than Chanzhou were accepted by the imperial court and the Confucian and Taoist sects, there were inevitably some geniuses who did not join other sects for various reasons, which gave the Buddhists some opportunities.

Apart from anything else, the current Buddhist leader is not from Chanzhou, but was discovered by the previous Buddhist leader when he traveled to Dongzhou and brought him back as a disciple.

The Buddhist sect had long been dissatisfied with the land of Chanzhou, but due to the existence of the Great Zhou court, they dared not expand rashly. In addition, with the presence of many Taoist sects in Yizhou, they could only expand their influence covertly.

The Shennian Sect is the plan that the Buddhists have set up in Yanzhou for many years.

But even this many years of planning is nothing compared to the Buddhists.

There are no Buddhist disciples in the contemporary world, but Fang Mu can practice such profound Buddhist skills at a young age, which shows that he has unparalleled talent and genius.

If he could be welcomed back to Chanzhou, he would become a Buddhist disciple and would inherit the position of the Buddha in the future.

That is the Buddhist family’s top priority.

What expansion power, what Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, compared with the inheritance of the Buddha, they are all dispensable!

Thinking of this, Wu Chen naturally did not dare to neglect Fang Mu, as this was an important bargaining chip for her to make further progress in the future.

Although Fang Mu felt a little strange about Wu Chen's attitude, he still had to answer the question.

“It’s strange, I don’t know who taught me the Buddhist skills.

“I was only seven years old that year. When I was sleeping at night, I dreamed of a fat monk with big ears and a sweet smile.

“I was young at the time and didn’t feel scared in the dream. I even played with him.

“But the dream was strange. It lasted for half a month. I played with the monk for half a month and went to many places.

The great monk did not tell me his name or Dharma name, but just said that I had a connection with Buddha, and then he taught me this Buddhist Dharma.

Fang Mu started talking nonsense again and made up a story about teaching the Dharma in a dream.

Wu Chen listened with great interest and nodded from time to time.

Qin Qianqian tried hard to suppress her laughter, her face expressionless, she just pinched her thigh hard, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Fortunately, Wu Chen's attention was on Fang Mu at this time, otherwise he would have been exposed.

“As for teaching in dreams, there are senior monks in my Buddhist family who would accept disciples based on this.

“Since Young Master Zhao has been able to inherit my Buddhist teachings and has achieved such profound cultivation at such a young age, he must be born with Buddha nature and extraordinary talent.

"With such Buddha nature and such karmic affinity, you can be a Buddhist disciple!"

Wu Chen actually believed in the story of the Dharma being passed down in the dream and directly asked Fang Mu to become a Buddhist disciple.

"Master, how can this be possible? He is my fiancé, how can he be a Buddhist disciple?

"Besides, he has already joined the Iron Fist Sect, how can he join the Buddhist Sect?"

Before Fang Mu could say anything, Qin Qianqian started yelling.

Who could have thought that when this little brother revealed a little bit of the Buddhist martial arts aura, his teacher couldn't sit still and wanted to make him a Buddhist disciple.

If this happens, I will become a monk even though I haven’t figured out my own affairs yet.

Qin Qianqian suddenly felt like she had lost both the sesame seeds and the watermelon.

"Yes, Master, I am just practicing a Buddhist technique. How can I be a Buddhist disciple?

"Besides, I am lazy by nature and don't have any big ambitions. I am satisfied to be able to love Sister Qianqian for the rest of my life. Wouldn't it be a disaster for Buddhism to be a Buddhist disciple? Are you kidding, Master?"

Fang Mu also felt that he had done something wrong. Who would have thought that this old nun was so stupid that she would ask him to become a Buddhist disciple just because of a Buddhist technique?

He just speaks without any reason.

If I had known this earlier, I would have used a different method to win favor.

Wu Chen heard that both of them objected, but he was not annoyed. He still had a smile on his face.

"Qianqian, don't worry. There are no taboos for Buddhist disciples like me. We can get married. Even the Buddha has descendants, let alone the Buddha's disciples.

"As long as you keep the Buddha in your heart, nothing else matters. Even the tonsure is up to each person's wishes and is just a formality."

Fang Mu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Most of his understanding of Buddhism came from some knowledge in his previous life, but he never expected that the Buddhist philosophy in this world would be so enlightened.

Seeing that he was somewhat puzzled, Wu Chen explained:

“My Buddhist tradition has been passed down for thousands of years, and the earliest Buddhist disciples were indeed forbidden from getting married, and were required to eliminate the seven emotions and the six desires.

"But later, after the establishment of the Great Zhou, Taizu felt that although Buddhism was the right path, the harmony of yin and yang and the love between men and women were the ultimate truth of the cycle of heaven and earth. This Buddhist rule was against the harmony of heaven. Although being emotionless and desireless was close to the great way, it was harmful to human relations and was not conducive to the reproduction of the Great Zhou race, so he ordered it to be changed.

"What kind of person is the Great Zhou Taizu? Unless it is the Buddha who descends to the world, the Taoist who shows up, or the Master who preaches, no one dares to disobey his orders. At that time, although the Buddha of the Buddhist School also had unparalleled cultivation, he had no choice but to obey."

When Wu Chen mentioned the Great Zhou Taizu, his expression was complicated, with both admiration and resentment.

All the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty respected and worshipped the legendary Emperor Taizu. Many people even kept portraits of Taizu in their homes and worshiped them often.

Although Wu Chen was also a commoner of the Great Zhou and naturally admired Taizu, he was also a disciple of Buddhism and had some hatred towards Taizu's oppression of Buddhism, but he dared not show it.

This was the umpteenth time Fang Mu had heard of the great reputation of the Great Zhou Taizu.

Originally, we only knew that he led the human race to sweep across the world, wiped out demons and heretics, and established the thousand-year-old Great Zhou Dynasty. He was truly the greatest hero of all time.

But he didn't expect that he was so powerful that in Wuchen's words, he seemed to be on par with the Buddha, the Taoist master, and even the rules of Buddhism could be changed at will.

As one of the three major religions, Buddhism did not dare to go against it and actually changed it.

From this we can see that the ability of Taizu of the Great Zhou was truly all-encompassing and unmatched.

Fang Mu somehow thought of his father Fang Lu and secretly compared the two.

After comparing for a while, there was still no result.

One is a figure who lived thousands of years ago, who founded the Great Zhou Dynasty, stabilized the world, inherited the destiny of heaven and earth, and became a great man of all ages.

One is a contemporary Confucian master who was able to sweep the outer demon sect alone 20 years ago, and he was admired by the elders such as Huai and Long. You know, Huai and Long have met Taizu and have a close relationship with him.

Being able to gain the genuine admiration of these two people, in their eyes, Fang Lu is probably no less than Taizu!

Moreover, according to rumors, although Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was invincible in cultivation and his ability to lead troops in battle was also unparalleled in the world, he always faced the enemies head-on.

Although his father Fang Lu has unfathomable cultivation, he likes to plot against others behind their backs, and his plots are always accurate. Once you are targeted by him, there is no escape. The only time he attacked him head-on was in the battle with the Extraterritorial Demon Sect twenty years ago. Such a huge Extraterritorial Demon Sect was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Comparing the two, Fang Mu really can't tell which one is better.

Of course, when it comes to contributions to the human race, Taizu should be ranked first, and this is known to everyone in the world.
