Self-struggle starting from Douluo

To survive in this world, you need a background!
The Yuelun Kingdom has the Hanging Temple in an unknown place as its background, so it doesn’t have to bother with the Xiling Temple.

The Tang Kingdom has the second floor of the academy in an unknown land as its background, so even though Xiling regards the Tang Kingdom as the biggest heresy, it is still helpless.

The Xiling Temple has the Zhishou Temple in the unknown land as its background, so even Liu Bai, the sword saint of Southern Jin who is known as "the strongest man in the world", has to obediently hang the title of "guest official" in the Xiling Temple.

As for other countries without background, such as Southern Jin and Dahe Kingdom, they not only have to obey the dispatch of Xiling Temple, but even when the monarch ascends the throne, he needs to be blessed and recognized by the Taoist high priest from Xiling.

Qing Huan had no background, and for some unspeakable reasons, he did not want to have anything to do with the Xiling Temple, so he could only avoid it. He hid for nearly ten years until the Master spoke, and he finally felt at peace.

It is obvious that Mr. Jian is a person with a background!
She ordered the girls in the brothels not to do Qinghuan business. As a result, not only Hongxiuzhao, but all the girls in brothels in Chang'an really stopped doing Qinghuan business.

At most they would play around, touch each other's hands, and hug each other's waists, but she would never allow us to go any further.

Qinghuan just felt helpless but not resentful. He could feel that Mr. Jian had some good intentions and put him in the position of an elder.

This may be related to Mr. Jian's background - Qinghuan later found out that Mr. Jian had a close relationship with the junior master in the academy, and Qinghuan and the master were actually master and disciple.

The Master is the Master of the academy, and the Junior Master of the academy is the Junior Master of the Master.

……

The Jian family took Qinghuan in to live in Hongxiuzhao, but did not allow the girls in the building to do Qinghuan's business.

Qinghuan could only talk about Buddhism with the girls.

As they were talking, the guests who came to Hongxiuzhao suddenly discovered that the girls in the building had abandoned their heavy makeup, and were no longer charming and flattering. Instead, they all went out with bare faces and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

They came here to have fun, to enjoy being surrounded by beautiful women and being served, but it turned out that the girls only cared about their own happiness and they had no fun at all.

Can you imagine a scene where a guest spends a lot of money to find a girl to accompany him for drinking, but when the girl comes, she crosses her legs and drinks by herself with a wine jug?
The Tang people are proud, especially the men, but in front of Hongxiuzhao, they can no longer be proud, and naturally they are not willing to come.

So, after Qinghuan lived in Hongxiu's house for half a month, she was kicked out by Mr. Jian.

Before leaving, he threw him a hundred taels of silver.

……

Qinghuan, who was kicked out, had to find another place to live. He also thought about going directly to the academy, but the name "academy" suggested that it was a place with a lot of rules, and food and accommodation were not provided.

Anyway, the college entrance examination will be held soon, so it won’t be too late to go then.

According to the standard of one hundred taels of silver, they found Lane 47 in Dongcheng.

There are many stalls on the whole street, but among the shops on both sides of the street, only one is still open, and the aroma of food can be faintly smelled from inside.

Qing Huan touched her belly, went straight to the door, looked inside the shop, smiled and said, "Amitabha, Mr. Ning, Miss Sang Sang, I just want to say that I have a destiny with you two!"

Inside the shop, Ning Que and Sangsang were sitting at the table eating noodles. When they saw the monk coming, they were both stunned.

The black-faced girl Sangsang subconsciously hid the bowl behind her.

Qinghuan walked into the store without any hesitation and sat down opposite the two of them. She didn't say a word, but just smiled and her eyes lingered on their bowls.

Ning Que prided himself on being thick-skinned, but in front of this completely shameless monk, he still bowed down and said, "Sangsang, serve a bowl of noodle soup to Master Qinghuan as well."

Qing Huan added: "Add an fried egg, thank you."

Sangsang was reluctant and said, "Master, there are no more eggs or noodle soup at home!"

Qing Huan waved his hand and said, "No need to beg for alms this time. The Buddha has money!"

Sangsang immediately stood up and went to get the noodles and fried eggs.

Ning Que's mouth twitched as he said, "Without money he is a 'poor monk', with money he is a 'Buddha'. Master Qing Huan is really... not sticking to one pattern!"

"If you have money, you are a master. If you have no money, you are poor. Is that a problem?"

Qing Huan looked around and saw the words hanging on the wall. She was startled and said in surprise: "Donor Ning's handwriting is very good!"

Ning Que asked curiously: "Master, you also know calligraphy?"

Qing Huan shook his head and said, "Master Buddha, I don't understand calligraphy, but Master Buddha understands 'meaning'. The words you write are full of 'meaning'. Ning Shi is mainly practicing the way of talismans, so won't he soar to the sky?"

Ning Que was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master, you are a cultivator?" Sangsang brought the noodles and put them heavily in front of Qing Huan with a "plop" sound, and asked, "Him? And you are a cultivator?"

Qing Huan raised his chin towards Sang Sang and said, "Master Buddha, give me money this time!"

Sangsang's attitude suddenly changed. He forced a smile on his dark face, picked up the bowl again, gently placed it in front of Qinghuan, and handed over the chopsticks, saying, "Master Buddha, please enjoy!"

"Good attitude, the Buddha rewards you!"

Qing Huan took out a silver ingot from his robes, slapped it on the table, picked up the bowl and ate while saying, "Master Buddha is a cultivator."

Sangsang took the silver ingot with a smile on his face, put it on his waist, and then disappeared without a trace.

Ning Que was more concerned about cultivation, and asked hurriedly, "There are five realms of cultivation: initial knowledge, perception, no doubt, profound knowledge, and knowledge of destiny. Which realm are you in, Master?"

"You know a lot?" Qing Huan smiled and said mysteriously, "Master Buddha is in the realm of no confusion, isn't that amazing?"

Ning Que immediately lost interest and said, "You are not confused, but on the way to Chang'an, we were accompanied by a great cultivator in the Dongxuan realm!"

"Cough cough..."

Qing Huan almost choked on the noodle soup. After swallowing it, he said, "You can't compare them like that. Although Master Buddha is only at the level of no confusion, I, Master Buddha, have profound Buddhist knowledge!"

Ning Que asked back: "Then can you beat the Dongxuan realm?"

Qing Huan held the bowl, his eyes wandering, and said: "It's not good to always talk about fighting and killing. Buddha said: Be kind to others..."

That means it can't be beaten?
Ning Que did not laugh at me, and asked, "Master, you just said that I am a genius in practicing talismans? How did you know that? Just based on my handwriting?"

Qing Huan put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said: "Practice, in the final analysis, is to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth through the power of one's own thoughts and use it for one's own benefit!
The energy of heaven and earth is there, and anyone can use it. How much can be called up, and how can it be used, depends on what? The power of thought, that is, the power of human thought! "

Ning Que's eyes lit up. This explanation was much easier to understand than what he had learned from others. He continued to ask, "What exactly is this telekinesis?"

Qing Huan thought for a moment and asked, "If I tell you about shit and urine while you're eating, will you feel disgusted?"

Ning Que nodded and said, "Of course I will."

Qing Huan smiled and said, "This is the power of thought. When I say "shit and urine", it is equivalent to conveying the "meaning" of "shit and urine" to you through this word, which has an impact on you. This is the power of thought!"

Ning Que was stunned: "It's that simple? Where is the vitality of heaven and earth?"

Qing Huan said: "The Qi of Heaven and Earth is to enhance and expand the influence of mind power. It is just an intermediate medium. The most important thing is still mind power!

Just like your handwriting, when you write, you contain your own thoughts, and people who can understand it can naturally feel this "meaning"!
The practice of talismanic practice is to seal your mental power in a talisman. When it is activated, the "intention" within it can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth.

Therefore, through your handwriting, I can tell that you are a genius in practicing talismans!"

Ning Que hesitated for a moment, then held on to a glimmer of hope and asked, "What if the Qi Hai Xue Shan acupoints are blocked and I can't draw on the heaven and earth's vital energy, can I still practice?"

Qing Huan thought about it and said, "Well, this is a bit difficult."

Just because it’s a little difficult, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible!
Ning Que's eyes showed surprise, and he quickly said, "Sangsang, quickly fry another egg for Master Buddha!"

Then he moved the bench, moved closer to Qing Huan, and said flatteringly: "Master Qing Huan, can you please tell me what you can do?"

Qing Huan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Donor Ning is very clear-headed. If you can let go of some of your obsessions, you will be able to achieve great freedom... Do you want to practice Buddhism with Master Buddha?"

Ning Que's face turned bitter, and he said, "Master Buddha, I have killed many people."

"What happened to the murder?"

Qing Huan did not comment, and said: "Master Buddha, I was an executioner for a while. At the most, I chopped off more than 300 heads without blinking an eye!"

Ning Que: “…Is this true?”

"Hey!" Qing Huan glanced at Ning Que and said, "Go to Yan State and ask around. Among the executioners, how many people are dissatisfied with me, Qing Huan?"

Ning Que said with difficulty: "Doesn't Buddhism emphasize compassion?"

"Yes, the Buddha is merciful and has sent them to heaven early." (End of this chapter)
