Things have come this far, why not go further?
I was preparing in secret, and the other party was also preparing in secret, preparing for the upcoming more powerful opponent.
From what I sense and the relevant information I have obtained, there are definitely quite a few powerful figures from Kyoto.
The Rising Sun Country, which is not taken seriously by Daha, is suspected to have figures at the level of Martial Saint, and there seem to be several of them.
This level of strength is already extremely strong. If the opponent crushes me, I won't be able to resist.
But to my surprise, the first person who came to me was not a powerful opponent from Kyoto, but a monk.
The monk had a peaceful expression and even had a Buddha's aura around him.
He claimed to be from Dasu Kannon Temple and was connected to the monk Jianzhen who crossed the sea that year.
He took the initiative to find me, with a very peaceful attitude, and sat down to discuss with me. He believed that I had the Buddha nature and could suppress the demons in all places and keep the area peaceful.
The postures and movements are quite outstanding, and I can't help but feel a certain fondness for them.
The purpose of his coming here was quite simple. He wanted me to go to Osu Kannon Temple to avoid the disaster and evade the murderous intention that Oda would send from Kyoto.
Because Oda believed that I had an extremely high-level inheritance that could not be detected, and that my identity was very mysterious. At the same time, I was unwilling to join Kyoto and might leak related plans.
Therefore, he sent a powerful demon god to kill me in the fishing village.
Of course, some of the information was made up by me, and the monk did not explain it very clearly.
I am not very interested in Buddhist temples, but I am very interested in Kyoto as a whole and the Land of the Rising Sun as a whole.
It would be a pity if he escaped directly or died in the Land of the Rising Sun because of being hunted down, so he took the initiative to agree to the monk's request to go to Osu Kannon Temple to take a look.
The Dasu Guanyin Temple was very different from what I had imagined. In this world, they actually took the initiative to open up a piece of pure land to shelter many villagers. Although there were demons where the Dasu Guanyin Temple was, most of them were suppressed by them.
Preach the Dharma every day to eliminate the evil in their thoughts.
It was quite surprising, and when I asked about the relevant practice methods, the abbot from Dasu Kannon Temple did not shy away and explained it to me in detail.
Even all the tools I needed for my practice were provided to me one by one. Of course, I also needed a place of shelter, which could not be obtained out of thin air.
This is their philosophy of practice. Every meal and every porridge should come from one's own efforts, rather than relying on privileges. This philosophy is quite consistent with me.
But since it was too close to my own ideas, I remained vigilant and did not say much, only occasionally discussing it with the people here during my practice.
The people in the temple did not use any threats or inducements, and even many of my followers joined me in reclaiming wasteland, planting plants, and providing protection to the area.
The overall day was unusually peaceful.
I had no problem walking around and no one interfered with me.
After I became successful, everyone was very friendly and polite to me, and there was absolutely no offense at all.
In his spare time, he discussed the Dao with people in the temple, and this continued for more than a year.
The abbot of the temple finally revealed part of his purpose.
He thought that I had a deep understanding of Buddhism, so he wanted me to teach Buddhism to many people in the temple. I thought about it and did not refuse.
When I agreed, the temple's many cultivation books became more open to me, and all the cultivation books below the grandmaster level were open to me.
Their methods of practice do indeed come more from Buddhism and must have a lot to do with Jianzhen.
Back then, Jianzhen crossed the sea not three times, but six times. He encountered setbacks many times in succession. In the end, he became blind, his body was severely injured, and all his cultivation was almost wasted. Only then did he arrive here with great difficulty.
However, he is also extremely respected in this temple, and there are golden statues of him here.
When I walk in the temple, I often see local disciples worshiping sincerely.
In terms of etiquette, they have done a pretty good job.
By the third year of my time here, many of my disciples had already called me Master.
My range of action was also somewhat restricted. There were many visitors from Kyoto, and among them there were even people close to the level of Martial Saint who started a fight outside the temple.
I can clearly sense that the positions of the celestial phenomena have changed.
The next day, the temple was in seclusion with the supreme elders who had practiced for many years. It seemed that they had suffered some great trauma.
However, these abbots did not say much to me. They continued to preach as usual, but only told me not to go too far away from the temple.
I watched it all secretly without saying much, until the fifth year, when everything seemed to have gradually settled down and my clothes were not much different from those of the locals.
At this time, there was a change. The abbot invited me into the deepest part of the temple. He wanted me to receive the most important inheritance of Dasu Guanyin Temple.
