Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk

Chapter 18 Start the Exam

Lu Feng was not nervous after hearing Master Zhiyun's profound words.

Ten years of waiting is just to move up the ladder.

Even if he gets a degree in "good knowledge", it is only the first step on his way up.

Every step ahead may not be easier than this one.

He calmly returned to his monk's room, took out the clothes from the bottom of the box, took a shower, changed clothes, and then sat cross-legged on the spot, silently reciting the six-character Great Ming Mantra.

He felt someone following him.

At this moment, this person has probably arrived at the door of the monk's room.

The six-character Great Ming Mantra made his heart feel like loose stone.

He never felt any threat from the person behind him.

Looking up, he saw a strong man who looked like a yak king standing in front of the door, blocking the sunlight outside.

He was wearing a skull-shaped rosary, wearing a dark red monk's robe, with a black face, and was holding an iron rod. He never uttered the sound of "to" or "to" until this moment.

When the monks around him saw him, they all hurriedly saluted, even the red monk was no exception.

"Elder Mingli."

They all clasped their hands in salute, wishing that Elder Mingli could not even see them, and regarded them as weeds in the wasteland, unable to enter the eyes of this great monk.

Elder Mingli passed by them with his head held high.

Not only do they not feel ignored.

On the contrary, I don't dare to make a big statement.

Only when Mingli had really gone far away did those people dare to take action.

Take a long breath out.

I'm glad I'm fine.

The Dharma Protector is different from the Dodo Monk Soldier. The Dharma Protector is the disciplinary monk and judicial officer of the entire temple.

Elder Mingli and the other guardians of the Discipline Academy will appear in every Dharma assembly, god-sacrifice ceremony and major ceremony in the temple. They are responsible for the discipline of the entire ceremony. Their eyes are like the sternest eagles, scanning all the monks present. .

At that time, when they were at their most strict, monks with status could punish animals to alleviate their sins, but groups like Buddhist monks did not have the privilege to avoid punishment if they violated the precepts.

Light tasks such as copying scriptures and cleaning are not a problem.

But if it is a little heavy, whether it is hanging outside the monastic discipline academy or being whipped in the square of the disciplinary academy, it is an extremely terrifying thing.

There are quite a few monks who have died because of their precepts. Some of their heads will be hung in the meditation room for some great monks to meditate on "the impermanence of life and death". Some are even more miserable and have offended the great monks and been dragged outside the temple. In the cave, torture was carried out.

So when he saw this person, Lu Feng quickly stood up, clasped his hands together, and saluted reverently.

Not in the slightest indifference.

Elder Mingli saw Zasa and said, "Hey, Zasa, come with me to the School of Debate. The time is about to begin."

He personally led Zasa to the Debate Academy.

Lu Feng quickly picked up the robe, took out coptis and red flowers, and handed them to the master for worship.

The master looked at him like this and accepted the offering.

Signing to him to give him the robe.

He could not enter the Debate Academy with these few belongings.

Lu Feng hesitated slightly and handed the gauze to the master. The master directly put the gauze on his body and motioned for Lu Feng to follow him.

On the way, he met Master Zhiyun, who signaled Lu Feng to follow him and Elder Mingli.

To be precise, he was following him. He was following Elder Mingli, and the hierarchy was very obvious.

This is class rigidity.

There are clear rules on how to walk.

When Master Zhiyun saw Elder Mingli, he also folded his hands and bowed in salute: "Uncle Mingli."

Elder Mingli said irrationally. His iron rod hit the ground and made a dull "beep beep beep" sound.Get ahead of the curve.

Hearing this sound, the monks walking in front, no matter who they were, hurriedly avoided the side, forming a road leading to the Debate House, and no one dared to block it.

Lu Feng took one look and knew that this was the power brought by the Discipline Academy. He had the power to deprive people of their lives with just one word.

Just an elder of the Discipline Academy can do this.

It is not difficult to imagine how astonishing the power of the head of the Discipline Academy and the head of the academy further up could be.

One word can determine the life or death of another person.

Controls the distribution of all benefits in the temple.

Even if they are both monks.

There is also a difference as big as a chasm.

Not to mention monks and slaves, monks and chiefs, chieftains and monks, nobles and monks.

Lu Feng remembered the names of the many faces he saw along the way, the scriptures they were good at and the way they debated scriptures, and some rumors about them. Each one of them was like a file, recorded in inside his mind.

Not only that, but all the information about the elders in front of him was also recorded in his mind.

Such rare moments of clarity are the so-called unused moments.

Anyway, Lu Feng clearly recorded all these things in categories, and they were all beneficial and harmless to him.

His brain seemed to be enlightened with great wisdom at this moment.

There was no room for any rest, and at this moment, Lu Feng heard the sound of the gong.

Hearing this voice, all the monks started to move. They put on their hats and clothes, and followed various roads towards the Debate Academy from all directions.

There are five sounds of the Dharma gong, and the interval between each one is eight hundred heartbeats.

After five gongs, all the monks will be in place.

There is an academy in Endless White Pagoda Temple with sixteen classes.

Every debating monk needs to sit down according to his own class and his status in the class, that is, according to his "profound knowledge" and "class ranking".

Everyone can find a place to sit down and start debating the scriptures.

These monks went from the Debating Institute, the square of the Debating Institute, to sit in the yard of the Debating Institute.

Lu Feng originally sat closer to the front, but not at the front.

He has studied hard over the years and is somewhat famous in the School of Debate. Logically speaking, he should sit in the fourth row, the row under the steps of the School of Debate.

But who would have known that Zhiyun took him directly past everyone and walked straight into the Bible Debate Courtyard behind the Bible Debate Academy, no longer following the old rules.

Elder Mingli stood outside the Debate Academy, standing there and no longer moving forward.

Lu Feng's robe is still hanging on his body.

The monks who saw this were very envious.

They knew that this meant that the monk was favored by the senior monk, so they skipped the step of debating in the class and went directly to the last step, debating with all the winners. After the debate, the senior monk began to ask questions.

Usually at this point, the monk’s questions will not be a problem.

The monk who takes a fancy to this sutra-study monk will establish a relationship.

After the debate.

It is a "big donation".

After the "big donation" is completed.

It means that this person has completed all the examinations of "good knowledge".

And after reaching this point, you don’t have to worry about finding a guru.

Because the step of directly entering the backyard is the evidence and step for the master to directly exempt him from the "preliminary examination" after taking a fancy to him.
