Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Ning Zhenzhen appeared silently at Yuzhu Peak and did not attract the attention of others. One reason was that she was good at Qinggong, and the other was that she did it on purpose.

She deliberately avoided everyone and entered Yuzhu Peak quietly.

She was quite nervous because she did not know Dayun.

She was afraid that she would not do well and delay Fakong's work, so she went all out and felt that she had to observe Dayun and understand Dayun before she could be the abbot of Yuzhu Peak.

It takes time to observe and understand Dayun. She could not wait for Xu Zhijian to leave and observe and understand Dayun after she took over as abbot.

She had to understand Dayun before becoming the abbot.

If you want to understand Dayun, it is most important to see it yourself. Don't listen to others' words. It's useless. No matter how hard you listen, it's far better than experiencing it yourself.

After listening to Xu Qingluo and others, Ning Zhenzhen said goodbye and left. She disguised herself as a middle-aged woman with ordinary appearance and began to live in Yunjing.

She stayed in the Yuzhu Peak's abode for only one night.

After talking with Xu Qingluo and the others all night, she left Yuzhu Peak the next morning and came to Yunjing, renting a courtyard.

She personally entered Yunjing, experienced the local customs and customs of Yunjing, experienced the lives of the people of Yunjing, as well as their food, clothing, housing, transportation and ideas.

Three days later in the evening, Fakong appeared in her courtyard.

Ning Zhenzhen was pruning the branches of the flowerbed in the courtyard, cutting off the branches and dead leaves, so that the flowerbed would be more vibrant and more pleasing to the eye.

Hearing the noise, she turned her head and looked over, straightened up and smiled: "Brother."

Fakong smiled and said: "Why are you here so early?"

"Come here earlier and learn a little before you can become the abbot of Yuzhu Temple, right?" Ning Zhenzhen smiled and said: "You can't be in the dark if you don't know anything."

Fakong nodded: "Dayun is indeed different from Daqian and Dayong."

He sat down at the stone table and said with a smile: "How do you understand now?"

"It's only been three days, there's still a long way to go." Ning Zhenzhen shook her head: "Their ideas are still quite strange, and their concepts are completely different from our Daqian."

Although it seems that the people of Dayun are similar to those of Daqian and Dayong, they just have different customs, but after my own observation, I found that the biggest difference is the concept.

Fakong nodded.

Maybe everyone thinks that Dayun, Daqian and Dayong are just different in customs, but in fact there is no difference.

The fact is just the opposite.

Looking similar in appearance, they just have different styles of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but in fact their concepts are completely different, like people from two different worlds.

The people of Dayun think that food, clothing, housing and transportation do not need to be too luxurious, as long as they are well fed and warm, while the people of Daqian and Dayong pursue luxury.

Pursuit of luxury and refinement.

The people of Dayun think that living should be pursued happily, not thinking too much, not being too greedy, while the people of Daqian and Dayong pursue better food, clothing, housing and transportation.

So the people of Dayun are not so urgent, and everyone is leisurely and comfortable, but Dayun is more powerful and has more talents, far better than Daqian and Dayong.

This looks very strange.

Ning Zhenzhen discovered this when she just came here, and was very curious why the people of Dayun did not have the spirit of fighting and struggling, but they were stronger?

Dayun is martial arts, everyone has to practice martial arts, and there are more people than Daqian and Dayong, but such lazy behavior should eliminate the advantage of having more people.

The fact is just the opposite.

Why is it so?

If Dayun is content with what he has and covets comfort, Dayun still wants to unify the world and annex and occupy Daqian and Dayong.

The contradictions are very confusing.

Ning Zhenzhen observed carefully, explored slowly, and then transformed into an old man or a young man, chatting with others in restaurants or teahouses, carefully observing their thoughts and ideas, so as to understand their ideas and concepts.

She found that there were too many differences between Dayun and Daqian in terms of concepts, which were fundamentally different.

So doing things in Dayun is completely different from doing things in Daqian. You can't use the same set of concepts and rules, otherwise you will inevitably run into obstacles everywhere.

In comparison, the concepts and ideas of Daqian and Dayong are similar, although Dayong's Buddhism is prosperous and Daqian's martial arts are prosperous.

But the concepts and ideas are similar.

So she can be like a fish in water in Dayong.

In Dayun, she found it was completely different, and she dared not to enter Yuzhu Peak casually, and felt that she needed enough time to observe and analyze.

Ning Zhenzhen sighed, "Brother, I am more and more unsure."

The more she observed, the more difficult it was.

It is not easy to take the position of the abbot of Yuzhu Temple. I am not sure about it.

Fakong smiled and said, "Yuzhu Temple will not participate in too many worldly affairs. It is high above and only sees the believers offering incense."

"You have to open a forum to talk about Buddhism, right?"

"...You can talk or not." Fakong thought about it and smiled, "If you don't want to talk, don't talk. There will be no hindrance."

"Since you are the abbot, of course you have to talk about Buddhism, not to mention that there will definitely be people from the Buddhist sect who come to ask for advice and exchange ideas."

Fakong nodded, "Well, it is inevitable."

Ning Zhenzhen shook her head and said, "If I don't know Dayun's concepts and ideas, I can hit their key points and I can't impress them."

Why do we have to understand the people of Dayun and their fundamental concepts and ideas? It is to find ways and ideas to deal with them.

Otherwise, even if you can see what they think, you may not be able to impress them.

If I can’t impress them, I can’t make them believe in Yuzhu Temple more. I am not qualified as the abbot, and I will even embarrass my senior brother.

If the abbot of Yuzhu Temple is not good, it means that my senior brother’s vision is not good.

They may even suspect that my senior brother is partial.

Fakong smiled and said, “You are right. If you want to impress them, you really need to understand them first. Then observe them carefully and ponder them for a while.”

Ning Zhenzhen said, “It’s really eye-opening.”

She had been staying in Dayong and Yudie Sect before. Although she was the sect master, she didn’t have much experience. She spent most of her time in seclusion and hard practice, or stayed in Yudie Sect.

In the few days in Yunjing, what she saw and heard was completely different, it was another world.

This sense of freshness and excitement made her in a state of flashing light, and her cultivation speed increased greatly, faintly touching the threshold of the next level.

So she enjoyed it and kept observing and pondering.

Fakong said: "But even if you see more, you must understand that people are still different, and it is impossible to understand everyone."

"Yes," Ning Zhenzhen said: "Brother, will you open Yuzhu Peak and make Yuzhu Peak the strongest force in Dayun?"

Fakong shook his head: "It doesn't have to be the strongest, as long as it strengthens the hearts of believers and promotes Buddhism."

"Increase more believers and make believers more convinced."

"That's right."

"Then brother, please preach to me. I want to learn how to preach."

"Preaching does require skills," Fakong smiled and said: "If it is in Yuzhu Peak, it is even easier, but it is much more difficult outside the peak. Half of it is the essence of Buddhism, and half is to cooperate with supernatural powers."

As he said this, he told Ning Zhenzhen some tips for preaching.
