Chapter 177 Fanyin Temple Ecological Chain (Additional chapter for leader Gu Yingkong 9527)

As the eldest among the lay disciples, Fu Qingzhou naturally got the best bed in the room.

Next to the window, there is a cabinet with the most space and a separate bed.

He sat comfortably against the wall, watching his fellow brothers who had been taught a lesson by him bending over to clean up the mess made by the fight.

That Boss Huang...oh no, he should be called Little Huang now. Little Huang was massaging Fu Qingzhou's legs in a flattering manner.

"Xiao Huang."

Fu Qingzhou asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Hui Qing Ge, it's been more than four months. He is the one who has been here the longest." The burly man Xiao Huang said softly.

Fu Qingzhou glanced at him and said, "That means you know the most about Fanyin Temple?"

"Don't dare."

Xiao Huang smiled and said, "I only have a slight understanding."

Fu Qingzhou hummed: "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place. Tell me everything you know."

"Yes..." Xiao Huang said, "Let's start with what we lay disciples have to do every day..."

In this Fanyin Temple, the lay disciples are of course the lowest group of people.

They were all brought back by monks who were traveling outside. They were all people who survived the copper bone pill and practiced the golden body and copper bone skills.

These people had only practiced some rudimentary kung fu before, and had never opened their martial arts orifices, or had only opened one or two levels of martial arts orifices with great difficulty.

In Fanyin Temple, the daily schedule of lay disciples is very tight. They have to get up between yin and Mao in the morning and go to the largest Buddhist hall to listen to sutras with all the monks and disciples in the temple for an hour.

After the lecture, the lay disciples had a simple vegetarian meal and then practiced under the guidance of Fa Jing until noon. During this process, they had to practice both the techniques and the moves.

Of course, each disciple is good at different moves, and the temple also has teachers who can teach basically all the common weapons.

After lunch, lay disciples no longer have time to practice, as they have to start working.

They have to do all the dirty and tiring work in the temple.

Sweeping, clearing manure, farming, feeding livestock, going out to buy things, fetching water... or helping other monks who are refining medicine, forging weapons, etc.

This continued until dusk, when it was the second time to listen to the sutra that day.

Similarly, after listening to the sutras and chanting the Buddha's name for an hour and having dinner, you can return to your disciple room to rest.

Fu Qingzhou listened and scratched his head: "It sounds like these lay disciples have a lot of work to do. Can a dozen of us do all the work for the whole temple?"

"Hey, just watch and do it." Xiao Huang smiled and said, "As long as nothing goes wrong, no one will be watching us all day long."

Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly: "Apart from the lay disciples, what about that Senior Brother Fajing? What is his status? Does he have a high status in the temple?"

Xiao Huang smiled and said, "Except for Abbot Yuanwu and two other masters of the Yuan generation, the rest of the temple are all of the Fa generation, that is, our brothers... but there is still a big difference between the Fa generation and the Fa generation."

"Senior Brother Fajing has been in charge of us lay disciples for many years, and he has also reached the fifth realm of cultivation. Therefore, many of the brothers who have been ordained in the temple were trained by him. They respect him very much and listen to his instructions."

"But if one has a strong talent and a high level of cultivation, and is able to reach the sixth realm, then he or she can become a 'guardian disciple' or 'walking disciple' in the temple. Guardian disciples have a higher status in the temple and do not need to do any affairs, just practice well; walking disciples need to leave the temple to find lay disciples, but they can also get more practice resource support from the temple."

"Besides that, there seems to be some kind of 'secret disciples'. Most of them are also out and about. I have only seen them once or twice when I was listening to sutras. I don't know what they do specifically."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes... This so-called secret disciple might be someone like Fa Zheng and Fa Yuan before, who was in charge of a certain stronghold and captured innocent people, or he might be the guy who skinned people and made pills himself.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is it only after becoming a monk that one can learn the real things in the temple?"

"Of course!" Xiao Huang replied, "I've been here for more than four months. Apart from the Golden Body and Bronze Bone Kung Fu, I've only practiced some basic moves. But now that I've become a monk, I can go into the library and read the secret books!"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Oh? Then how can I become a monk?"

"Of course there is a test."

Xiao Huang smiled bitterly: "The temple has a test every month, but it is not to test our cultivation skills, but to let us listen to Buddhist scriptures, saying that it is a test of our understanding... But my understanding is not good, and I can't pass the test."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "If I can't pass the exam, will I be a lay disciple forever?"

"I heard that if you fail the test within half a year, you will be expelled from the temple..."

Xiao Huang replied: "Anyway, I thought about it. Even if I can't learn it in the end, I didn't spend money to learn kung fu for half a year, so I didn't lose money."

Fu Qingzhou didn't say anything, but he sneered in his heart.

No loss?
Expelled from the temple?

How could Fanyin Temple be so kind? You have been in the temple for half a year. Who knows how many secrets you know? How could they let you go like that?

The best case scenario is to use magic to erase memories and destroy cultivation, the worse case scenario is to kill and silence them...

The most terrifying thing is that those who were "expelled from the temple" might have become the skin of some powerful person in the temple.

"okay."

Fu Qingzhou yawned: "It's late, and I'm tired. Don't I have to get up early tomorrow morning to listen to the sutra? Let's go to sleep."

"Yes..." Xiao Huang asked humbly, "Well, I didn't know how high the sky was and the earth was deep, and I got into a fight with you, Brother Qing, and my clothes got dirty. Can I go out and wash them now?"

Fu Qingzhou lay down wrapped in the quilt and waved his hand casually, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.

Soon, the lights in the room went out, leaving only Xiao Huang and a few others, who were quietly walking out with their clothes in their arms, and gradually walked away.

Soon, the only sound left in the disciple's room was the sound of snoring. A gentle breeze blew in from the window, dispelling the stuffiness of early summer.

Fu Qingzhou didn't sleep, he closed his eyes, focused his energy on his ears, and listened to the noise coming from not far away.

Amid the sound of splashing water and scrubbing, Xiao Huang and a few other people could be heard whispering.

"Boss Huang, are you just going to let it go? Are you really going to accept this new guy as your big brother?"

"Bullshit! This is called enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens!"

"Then...what should we do?"

"Humph, we underestimated the enemy tonight. We couldn't move freely in this room. When we were fighting, we bumped into each other before we could even hit anyone."

"So what Boss Huang means is... during the training tomorrow?"

"Not bad!"

Xiao Huang's voice was suppressed but excited: "No matter how powerful he is, he is only in the fourth realm. How can he be stronger than us? When we practice tomorrow, just watch my eyes and we will kill him!"

Fu Qingzhou smiled.

In his opinion, these are just children's tricks...

The first night of sneaking into the Fanyin Temple was finally smooth. I had to rest enough to deal with the various difficulties that followed.

He took a long breath and fell into a deep sleep.
