“No way!”
Upon hearing the other’s words, the request made, Feng Qing’an categorically refused. He must’ve been too full, to have kept this monk in his house.
Not to mention his unwillingness, even if he was willing, this Heavenly Dragon monk moving in, the group of Taoist Priests outside would be deeply affected. Awesome as this monk might be with his many Buddhist treasures, I’m afraid he couldn’t deter them, and he would be in danger.
“Why not?”
“For the sake of your own safety, Zen Master!”
Feng Qing’an advised, he interacted with many real people of Taoism, especially a few senior ones. He doesn’t think that these real Taoist people would be helpless with a foreign monk, it’s just unnecessary. Of course, he has enough foundation to open a Buddhist monastery. But who doesn’t?
“Amitabha, thank you for your concern, Benefactor …”
The Heavenly Dragon monk was taken aback, and he immediately wanted to assure Feng Qing’an that he wasn’t afraid of life and death, but where would Feng Qing’an have the patience to listen to his nonsense,
“Go away, there’s no place for you here!”
Feng Qing’an’s words may not seem polite, but, the young man did not feel he was wrong. After all, it was the other party who was rude first.
What does he mean by getting along with ghost creatures? Is he such a person? What a joke.
“Amitabha!”
Yinghai chanted Buddha’s name and deeply cast a glance at Feng Qing’an, no longer arguing with him, but there was a faint touch of disappointment in his eyes.
To him, it was apparent that the young man had already noticed something wrong with himself, yet still infatuated with the seductive beauty of ghost category, even evicting the man who could subdue ghost creatures and help him escape from the sea of lust. This was willingly degrading oneself.
However, this man can choose degradation, but that doesn’t permit him to give up helping him escape from the sea of karma. If he’s not allowed to stand here, he will just find another place to stay in the city.
The daring ghost creatures that enticed this man into degradation, once they show up, their magic power would certainly be noticed. They definitely won’t be like this man, kept in the dark.
“I will take my leave!”
“Take care, Zen Master!”
Feng Qing’an smiled, showing no intention of holding him back.
The Heavenly Dragon monk left, but Yinghai, who had already sensed something wrong with Feng Qing’an, slowly disappeared in mid-air, shortly after he left the gate of Feng Qing’an’s residence. He quickly concealed himself into invisibility under the public eye.
This shocked the real people who were quietly observing the house, although not many were surprised. After all, nobody could guess how many Buddhist treasures this foreigner monk had.
Thus, Feng Qing’an’s life fell into a flurry of activity. Despite being home every day, people often visited him for various purposes and bestowed an array of Taoist treasures upon him.
The result was an accumulation of countless Taoist and Zen scriptures in his possession. Although these Taoist treasures, dubbed as the preparation of the Taoist disciples, but the Taoists are not fools, especially when there’s a Buddhist cultivator around.
There were some innovative scrolls among the Taoist treasures given by some Real Taoist people, which were famous and even familiar to some as they represented the cultivation of some divine powers.
After flipping through a few pages, Feng Qing’an discovered their little schemes, like a Divine Power named “Five Directions Five Elements Divine Light”, which presumed to suppress and possess the spirits in all things of the Five Elements.
However, such Divine Power, despite having a part of the cultivation skills, its accomplishment actually required the support of corresponding cultivation skills, meaning specific cultivation techniques.
In other words, only those who have been admitted and have inherited their teachings, could truly achieve this Divine Power. Obviously, it’s not limited to gifted people.
After all, all the Taoist Divine Powers in the world didn’t appear out of nowhere, they were created by one talented Real Taoist person or their precursor after another.
As stated before, if the predecessors could invent, the descendants could definitely modify. Some Taoist schools risked greatly by only gifting the scroll of Divine Power without giving the corresponding cultivation skills.
The Taoists are indeed generous, it’s fair, as after flipping through a few Buddhist scriptures casually, Feng Qing’an discovered their embedding cultivation techniques.
However, after giving a glance, he tossed them aside, same as before, he had no interest in becoming a monk. Despite the Buddhism cultivation techniques and divine powers seeming great, he thought, better not!
Not appropriate!
In the blink of an eye, the time came from August to September. The delayed Imperial Examination officially started amidst the thousand calls of students. Although Feng Qing’an decided not to participate in the imperial examination, he had to finish what he started.
As to Feng Qing’an, participating in the examination was equivalent to relaxing. He was unlike those other students bearing the weight of personal prospects and family legacy. He was free of pressure.
Feng Qing’an attended his last Imperial Examination with the sole intention of seeking tranquillity amid chaos. He wanted to avoid the Real Taoist people. After all, the Imperial Examination was crucial to national prosperity and could even affect the fate of the dynasty.
So this place carried a huge significance of cause and consequence, that’s why all practicing individuals would steer clear of it. Feng Qing’an didn’t need to worry about anyone disturbing him in the examination room, even if he entered the room, he’d get the best treatment.
