Chapter 939: New Buddhist Rap and the Four Treasures Lucky Bag
In the pixel screen, Zhangdangtian is a green-faced guardian wearing golden armor and holding a sword, with a very imposing manner.
Words appeared in the dialog box above His head.
"Senior Yaoshen, the specialty of the Southern Continent is not a wonder like star sighting, it is a completely different type."
"Please look."
Zhangzhangtian moved to the street and gestured to Lu Yao to observe a monk.
This pixelated figure is dressed in a monk's robe and has a rosary around his neck.
What made him different from the monks around him was that he was holding a guitar and singing on the street.
The little monk was shaking his head, appearing to be very involved.
"It is difficult to achieve good results with so many confusions, who can see through the boundless world of mortals?"
"It is hard to be open-minded and carefree when you are in endless suffering. Your ever-decaying body is like a shackle."
"The demons and ghosts who only want to cause chaos in the world do not know how to repent..."
Lu Yao groaned.
The new rap of Buddhism? There were already quite a few pixelated people watching around, with red hearts popping up on their heads, showing great interest in it.
A smile appeared on Virūdhaka’s head: “This is our specialty, and also a profession unique to Jambudvīpa, the Buddhist chanting monk.”
"Long ago, monks in Jambudvīpa collected various scriptures and monks' notes, and translated and compiled them. However, most people were illiterate, and many found it difficult to understand the Buddhist scriptures."
"So someone adapted the scriptures into songs, arranged them, added corresponding instrumental accompaniment, and had the monks sing them. This way, it would not be boring, and it would be more conducive to widespread dissemination and make everyone love spiritual practice."
"Especially for children who have little patience, even if they don't understand the meaning of the scriptures, they can sing along and slowly understand the true meaning over time."
He said: "The chanting of Buddhist monks can reduce people's anxiety and impetuousness, dispel evil thoughts in their hearts, make people calm and relaxed, and increase worldly stability."
Lu Yao remembered that the Yao clan had also given birth to a profession called oracle singer, which was similar to this one.
He clicked to view the chanting monk.
…
[Buddhist Chanting Monks]: Adapting various Buddhist scriptures and records into ballads can bring joy to people, strengthen the spread of Buddhist scriptures, improve local security, and reduce the probability of man-made disasters.
Requires: Nanzhanbu Monk's Qin (1/1)
Buddhist monk LV2 and above
Musician LV2 and above
…
This profession in Jambu Continent is already very mature and has a high threshold.
He has to be both a Buddhist monk and a musician.
However, this was the first time Lu Yao had seen the musical instrument called Sengqin, so he asked Zhangzhangtian about it.
The master of Jambudvīpa replied: "Senior, in fact, the origin of this profession is the Jambudvīpa monk's zither."
"In the past, the most famous tree in Jambu Continent was the Jambu tree. Before becoming a monk, Sakyamuni Buddha once meditated under the Jambu tree and later decided to become a monk and practice Buddhism. However, although this tree is somewhat famous, it cannot be compared with the four sacred trees that are unique to Buddhism."
"Later, monks used the fallen and damaged yambu trees to build houses and furniture, and found that the sound was full and soft, with a very special timbre. So some people polished and painted the yambu wood, made it into a piano plate, tied it with silk threads and played it, and it gradually evolved into the monk piano of today."
"The monk's zither will produce a wonderful reaction with the Buddhist scriptures. The monk's zither must be used when chanting the scriptures. This is the only way to move people."
Zhangdatian introduced his specialty: "For a long time, monks played the instrument secretly because the sound was too melodious and would affect the monks' meditation. But I thought it was very good, so I encouraged them to make and play it, and to go out of Jambudvīpa to play and spread the chanting in other places. The effect was better than I imagined."
“Many places do not welcome Buddhism and Buddhist scriptures, but most civilizations are interested in music.”
Lu Yao thought that this was a different approach.
There is no combination of Shaolin Kung Fu and football here, but there is a fusion of Buddhist scriptures and street rap, which is quite interesting.
Zhangdatian continued, "However, the number of chanting monks has always been small. A monk must practice Buddhism, master music theory, and make musical instruments. These three conditions are very difficult to meet. Because of the special Buddhist temple city management method in Jambudvīpa, secular management is relatively loose, and production capacity has always been a weak point, so monks have to take on a lot of things on a daily basis."
"After going out, the chanting monks will face difficulties such as sleeping in the open air and physical illness. Even if they use all their energy to create a good chanting work, it may be lost due to improper preservation or no one can restore it."
"When I saw Star Vision, I imagined that it would be great if it could be spread through Star Vision. The works that the chanting monks have worked so hard on can be stored in the Sea of Heart and spread steadily. And whether people like it or not can be directly reflected through Star Vision."
"I plan to apply for a [Southern Continent Chanting Sutra] program in Star Vision, so that outstanding chanting monks can show themselves to more people. This will also attract more people to become chanting monks, forming a virtuous cycle..."
Lu Yao touched his chin.
The freestyle Buddhist debate is a unique program that can increase the diversity of Yao culture.
Not bad.
…
“In addition, this [Four Treasures Lucky Bag] is another local specialty of ours.”
An entry popped up above Growth Sky's head.
Lu Yao moved the mouse to check.
…
[Four Treasures Lucky Bag]: A specialty of Jambudvīpa, this lucky bag is made from worn-out monk robes and contains gifts from monks to donors. There is a certain probability that it contains gum from the asoka tree, bodhi fruit, horse chestnut leaves, or sal tree bark.
【Nanzhan tribe returns the gift】
The four treasures can only be obtained by taking them apart and getting the results, otherwise the four treasures will disappear and the lucky bag will break.
…
See the blind box again.
Lu Yao was suspicious.
Could it be that the Southern Continent relies on the export trade of lucky bags to earn external revenue? "Senior, giving donors lucky bags has always been a feature of Mount Xumi. The monks go out to travel and chant Buddhist scriptures, and do not engage in production, so they need to beg for alms to survive."
Zhangzhangtian, who was confused, was still introducing this second specialty.
"They usually contain easy-to-store items such as grains and nuts, which the monks use to express their gratitude. On this basis, the Southern Continent has made improvements. This is the idea of the Sun Palace Emperor. He said that since you are giving gifts, you should give them with more thought."
"Adding precious Mount Xumi specialties will surprise those who receive them. This is also a kind of opportunity, and those who are destined to receive it will get it. I think it is a good idea, so I allocated a part of the resources obtained from Mount Xumi to [Zhanpo City]. The monks there will make lucky bags uniformly, and then distribute them to different temples and cities according to the number of monks who go out."
"Every monk who travels outside can get three lucky bags a year to give to those who donate to him."
"However, since there are not many of the Four Sacred Trees of Buddhism, and even fewer of them can be given to me as a Dharma Protector, the lucky bags are more of a token of gratitude, and the chance of drawing the Four Treasures is relatively small. In general, we currently put one random Four Treasure in every 1,000 lucky bags, and we won't be able to handle more than that."
Lu Yao stood in awe.
The winning rate of opening a bag is one in a thousand, which is quite sincere.
He turned his attention to the four sacred trees that are unique to Buddhism.
Lu Yao had received a gift from Zhangzhangtian before, which was the Bodhi fruit. His [Enlightenment] ability can increase the existing level of any ability by +1, and is effective within LV99.
Four entries popped up above the Growth Sky.
"Senior, please take a look. This is the Four Treasures. Please accept it for identification."
He gave it directly and generously.
Lu Yao clicked on them one by one.
…
[Asoka Gum]: The gum of the Asoka tree in Buddhist mythology can only be taken and sealed by the main gods of Buddhism, and it has the ability to make people forget their worries.
【Forget your worries】
Chewing gum can temporarily eliminate most of the negative effects and maintain a state of excitement for an hour.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
This is a magic weapon for removing negative buffs, and it also comes with a stimulant status.
It looked a bit like a super-enhanced version of... betel nut? Lu Yao looked at the next one.
…
[Hermaphrodite Leaves]: In Buddhist mythology, the leaves of the horsemaphrodite tree can only be plucked and sealed by the main gods of Buddhism, and they have the ability to gather things.
【Collection】
The seven leaflets holding a horse chestnut leaf can sense each other's safety and ask for gathering.
…
This is more like an emergency signal prop, similar to an arrow piercing the clouds and thousands of troops coming to meet.
It can be used whether you are friends, lovers, master and apprentice, or members of the same organization.
Lu Yao focused his attention on the last one.
…
[Sala Bark]: In Buddhist mythology, the bark that falls off naturally from the Sala tree can only be sealed by the main gods of Buddhism, who have the ability to visit the dead.
【Visiting the Dead】
By lighting the bark, you can call upon your relatives in the underworld and communicate with them through the smoke until it burns out.
…
The bark is also highly valued, being equated with a telephone from the underworld.
Even gods find it difficult to go to the underworld to find people.
With the bark of the sal tree, one can communicate remotely without leaving home. Whether it is to remember ancestors, pay respects to deceased relatives, or verify many secrets that cannot be verified, it is a powerful artifact.
Being able to put these four treasures into lucky bags and give them to others shows that Zhangzhangtian is very sincere and really gives good things.
With such genuine treasures as gifts, many people will be willing to help and receive the monks and people of Jinan Zhanbuzhou, which is an effective long-term investment.
Lu Yao looked at this guardian deity with higher regard.
An ellipsis appeared above Zhangzhangtian's head: "... Senior Yaoshen, I want to enlighten the southern continent and emulate your Yao clan. Please teach me!"
Teach you?
Lu Yao scratched his head.
I don't understand this either. To manage such complicated matters, I rely on professionals, such as Tyrant and Slymode.
Please ask a professional to come.
Lu Yao typing.
——Professional work should be done by professionals.
In the past, Lu Yao had always let the Yao tribe run free, so he was not good at micro-management. Later, the population continued to increase, and the worlds of the Yao civilization also became more numerous. His method was to find experienced subordinate gods and let them govern them separately.
As for himself, his main task was to meet the resource needs of the Yao civilization and find new opportunities.
But Lu Yao also went through the initial period of mining everywhere and frantically searching for various energy sources. It was not until he gained access to the psychic mining area and received the large inheritance left by the Red Dragon Daisy's family that he became financially well-off.
As long as there is no war, resources will not be a problem in the short term.
An exclamation mark appeared above Zhangzhangtian's head: "You mean... to recruit gods who are good at worldly management?"
Lu Yao typing.
——You can try it.
"Understood."
Lu Yao also told the other party that since the Southern Continent attaches great importance to the secular world, it would be a good idea to go to the crawling area to have more contact with different divine kingdoms.
The crawling zone has the largest number of gods, the largest number of kingdoms of gods, and the largest population in the entire oracle.
Instead of staring at the various resource worlds in the leap zone and even the bordering areas and engaging in fierce competition there, it is better to focus on the rear areas where a large population lives.
Population is the body, which is an important basic skill for every god.
"Been taught a lesson!"
Zhangzhangtian bowed to the screen and said, "Thank you for your guidance. This time I will complete the transformation that I failed to do before!"
Although Lu Yao didn't know what the specific situation was.
But being willing to change is always a good thing.
Wish Him good luck.
At this moment, the prayer of Lord Darkstar appeared on the screen.
Lu Yao double-clicked the prompt.
The Dark Star Lord said hurriedly: "My Lord, the four stars suddenly went crazy, and they accelerated the rotation of many worlds around them, destroying those worlds one by one..."
The smile on Lu Yao's face suddenly disappeared.
Rebellious son!
See how I deal with you!
