Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk

Chapter 1 Monk of Zhasa Academy

Outside the unclosed window.

The strong wind from the Tantric Dharma Realm blew over the bright and luminous snow tops, passed over the mountain passes, and blew into the monk's room at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

Lu Feng felt a little tired of studying.

I don’t really want to continue studying!
It is true that there is no limit to learning and hard work.

In the real world, you have to start learning from a young age.

Junior high school, university, graduate student, doctoral candidate.

As a result, he was brought to this mysterious and polluted realm.

There are countless strange places hidden in this darkness.

He still has to take the exam step by step.

The exam in the real world is over, let’s continue the exam in the esoteric realm!
Monks in the esoteric realm need to pass sutra debates and examinations among numerous "classmates" to complete their studies one by one.

From the lowest student monk to the empowered guru.

From the master who initiated the initiation, to the eminent monk with six levels of degrees.

From small temples in villages to large temples in state capitals.

From the large temple in the state capital to the only supreme "Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas".

Every step is strictly hierarchical and requires a huge amount of financial, material, and energy.

and.

The secret of the tantric realm lies in the secret of practice.

Only when one has reached a certain level of cultivation in stages can one obtain the corresponding cultivation method.

If you don't reach the corresponding degree level, you can't recite mantras, practice, or contemplate.

Without corresponding cultivation, it is even more impossible to go out and serve as the altar, sutra leader, storehouse monk, or guardian guru in small and medium-sized temples!
So, why is Lu Feng so obsessed with going to school?

The first is because, in his hand, there is a human skin scripture scroll.

It was densely written with words that only Lu Feng could see.

[Time: (Invisible) Year of the Turkey (Contaminated)]

[Location: Secret Law Realm]

[Character: Zasa (Lu Feng)]

[Complete three requests to return to reality and gain the ability to bring back a certain magic weapon in this scene]

[[-]. Complete the Dharma lineage, transfer back to Ganye Temple, and obtain the post of Triba Dharma Platform in Ganye Temple (unfinished)]

[[-]. Cultivate the Dharma Lineage and Investigate the Mystery of the Decline of Ganye Temple (Unfinished)]

[[-]. Cultivate the Dharma Lineage and Bury the Ancient Tubo Bottle (Unfinished)]

[All the results of practicing in the esoteric realm can be retained forever]

[Complete the request and you will get additional rewards]

[If you fail to complete the mission, you will end up in the secret realm]

[Length of stay: 3620 days]

This is the "gold finger" that brought him here.

If just bringing him here to die would be considered a golden finger.

The human skin scrolls are calculated.

Lu Feng studied scripture here for ten years.

He feels that the real world is easier to learn.

At least you won’t die if you lose!
This is the second reason why he wants to go to school here.

Here, if you don't make progress, you will die.

The small temple where he, the monk named Zhasa, was born, is called Ganye Temple.

In a village called Gangtso Pema, there is a Dharma protector temple in the village.

As a result, just a few years ago, a severe worm attacked Gangtso Pema.

The abbot, sutra master, and iron rod master in the temple were all murdered.

A chieftain's official village was turned into a dead zone, and the Li Wei was still hovering there, which meant that if he wanted to go back, he had to get rid of the Li Wei.

Only a few young monks outside survived.

Among them is the current Zasa.

In the esoteric realm.

Even a monk will be killed by Li Gui who appears at any time.

All human buildings in the esoteric realm are watchtowers, built with chieftains, zongs and temples as the core!

Therefore, you must study.

You must get a degree!
Otherwise you will die.

Or life is worse than death!
Therefore, we should start studying from the five sutras and commentaries of Sutra, the thousand-character commentaries, and the four major volumes.After going through annual debates and assessments in the temple, I was recognized by the abbot of the temple, and then appreciated by my guru, and gained the method of practice.

This is the only correct way to survive in the esoteric realm.

This year’s big test.

Just seven days later.If you can’t grasp the big exam in seven days, you will have to wait another full year!
At this time next year, take the big exam again!
But his research on the Five Classics.

Still slightly lacking.

More importantly, he has no money!

In the scholastic academy, monks do not need to pay tuition, but if they want to hire more famous teachers or have better food, they will need to spend extra money.

And what's even more deadly is that after passing the debate examination, a "big donation" will be held.

Each "big donation" requires about 2000 to [-] taels of silver.

Give highland barley porridge and copper coins to the monks in the temple.

Only after completing a set of "debating scriptures", "exams", and "general alms" ceremonies can a student monk be able to obtain the degree of "good knowledge".

Become a guru.

Receive initiation.

Therefore, Lu Feng's current problem is that even if he passes the debate and exam, he still cannot complete a large donation.

He has no money!
Among the temples.

There are many small families like him whose Dharma lineage has been cut off.

Most of them spend three to forty years working to earn money after completing their studies.

Work as handymen around the temple in exchange for enough silver to complete your degree promotion.

But for Lu Feng.

Stay here for 40 or [-] years?
impossible.

Absolutely impossible!
He can't accept it!
Three to forty years was too long, but it was useless if he didn't want to. Since he had no money, he could only study and work at the same time.

Lu Feng glanced at the letters passed by the surrounding chieftains or nobles.

In the realm of esoteric law, chieftains and monks have a mutually fulfilling relationship.

Chieftains need monks to pray for them, help them drive away evil spirits, and protect them safely.

Monks need support from chieftains and nobles to provide resources and support the temple.

Lu Feng quickly found a good job among the nearby chieftain nobles.

It was the birthday of the nearby Kaqila Chieftain’s grandmother. I needed a monk to chant sutras and pray for my grandmother for three days. The requirement was that he had a loud voice, a pleasant appearance, and could recite the Diamond Sutra and the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra proficiently. , "Huayan Sutra" and all kinds of things make the elderly happy.

But such a beautiful thing.

Not inviting a monk to come.

It was a few monks who went together.

Competition for jobs.

In the end, even if I didn’t get the opportunity to chant sutras.

Generous gifts will also be given.

The minimum guarantee is five taels of silver.

"That's it."

After studying scriptures for ten years, Lu Feng knew the scriptures required by the chieftain by heart.

As for the requirements of having a loud voice and a pleasant appearance.

Lu Feng is extremely upright and handsome.

The sound is like a loud bell.

He is a good candidate for chanting sutras.

After confirming the direction, at dawn the next day, the temple door opened, and Lu Feng went to ask for leave. The elder had seen many such "work-study" apprentice monks, so he naturally waved him off.

Monks can ride horses.

But Lu Feng was poor.

Don't talk about horses.

Can't even afford a donkey.

He could only walk towards the chieftain's official village on foot. By the time he arrived at the chieftain's official village, he was already covered in sweat from morning till night.

Looking at the chieftain's official village in front of him, Lu Feng could only say he was envious.

Lu Feng saw that the Tusi Official Village in front of him was surrounded by seven watchtowers. Soldiers with weapons on their backs were patrolling the area. A large number of mastiff dogs were led by the soldiers, ready to pounce out and bite people at any time.

Seeing Lu Feng coming, these people gathered around.

Lu Feng quickly explained that he was a monk from a nearby temple and came to pray for the chieftain's grandmother.

The soldiers were also illiterate, so they had no choice but to ask the steward to come out.

Just when they were communicating in front of the Tusi Watchtower Group.

Lu Feng rolled up the human skin roll and placed it close to his body. Suddenly, a picture appeared.

On the human skin scripture scroll, a kind old man wearing a robe and an emerald and agate necklace first appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the kind old man began to change, abstractly, and in less than a moment, he turned into a hunched-over figure with a tiger-like face!
The human face actually looks a bit like a tiger’s face!

Looking at this fierce look, it is clearly the image of the grandmother of the Kaqila chieftain here!
Grandma Kaqila Chieftain is actually a sly?
Hidden in the watchtower where people live!
