Chapter 1298： Fahai Zen Master in History

Why is there some truth in the fourth reason?

Let’s take a look at a conversation between Fahai and Bai Suzhen before Bai Suzhen was imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda.

Fahai: Don't deviate from the classics, don't fall in love with the red dust. As long as the merits are fulfilled, it will naturally rise in the daytime. Bai Suzhen, you have been cultivating for thousands of years, don't you understand this truth? To be born, you must enter the world first, and you must enter the pagoda first to leave the tower. At the juncture of the Great Enlightenment of Buddhism, you can only move forward and never go back.

Bai Suzhen: I don't want to be locked up.

Fahai: This is not a prison, this is cultivation.

Bai Suzhen: I don't want to practice anymore, I want my officials, I want my son, and I want my family.

Fahai: Your home is the prison.

Bai Suzhen: You are a person without a family, you will not understand this.

Fahai: I am homeless, but I have the heart.

Bai Suzhen: How can you be compassionate if you have a heart and are ruthless?

Fahai: I helped you ascend the immortal realm early, isn't this great mercy?

Bai Suzhen: I don't want to be a fairy, I just want to be a human being. Why do you want to separate, separate our husband and wife, separate our mother and child? Is it because you are jealous of others because you are all empty?

Fahai: Unreasonable, Amitabha, Golden Armored God, Bhikkhu, now send her to the pagoda.

At first glance at this conversation, you might think that Fahai is just false mercy. The so-called helping Bai Suzhen in the immortal world is just an excuse for him to avenge the revenge of the year.

Bai Suzhen wants to be successful in her merits and soar in a hundred days, so where does Fahai's help?

But it's not necessarily true, because now Bai Suzhen has moved her mortal heart and is greedy for the world. She really can't reach the immortal realm by relying on her merits alone.

Of course, in the past, Bai Suzhen had this ability, but since meeting Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen has gradually lost this ability.

When Bai Suzhen had just transformed into a human form, she went to Emei Jinding to ask for the enlightenment of Avalokitesvara.

When Avalokitesvara said that her fate is not over, Bai Suzhen said, "This disciple has set this heart, and all thoughts are silent, and any fate is willing to abandon it."

At that time, Bai Suzhen was devoted to Taoism and practiced diligently, just to be crowned the immortal realm as soon as possible.

At that time, she was naturally able to fulfill her own merits and honor the immortal world.

However, guided by Master Guanyin, after meeting Xu Xian at the Broken Bridge in the West Lake, Bai Suzhen gradually fell in love and left the matter of practice behind.

After Bai Suzhen became pregnant with Xu Xian's child, Xiaoqing worried that Bai Suzhen would fall into the dust forever because of her inability to give up family affection. She reminded Bai Suzhen many times to repay her kindness, but don't delay her practice.

But at this time, Bai Suzhen could not let go of Hong Chen completely. She didn't want to be a **** anymore, she just wished to grow old with Xu Xian.

This can also be seen from the conversation between Bai Suzhen and Fahai before entering Leifeng Pagoda.

For this reason, Bai Suzhen is even willing to pass on all of her 1700 years of skill to Xiaoqing, to help Xiaoqing complete her merits as soon as possible, and rank among the immortals, while she herself stays in the world and lives a sweet and happy life with Xu Xian.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with it. As the saying goes, only the mandarin ducks do not envy the immortals, and the sweetness in the world with the close lover is indeed more desirable than the lonely immortal.

But there is a problem here. Bai Suzhen is a snake demon who has practiced for thousands of years. Not to mention that he can live forever, but he can live for at least thousands of years.

And Xu Xian is just a mundane child, even if he can live a long life, it will only be a hundred years old.

So, what should Bai Suzhen do when Xu Xian dies after a hundred years?

If you can get out of love and embark on a new path of cultivation, it's okay, but if you can't get out of love, for thousands of years, or even longer, Bai Suzhen is destined to be accompanied by longing and pain.

So, Fahai forcibly dismantled Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, and forced Bai Suzhen to stay in the Leifeng Pagoda to practice, saying that it was to help Bai Suzhen ascend to the immortal realm early. It was not unreasonable.

After Bai Suzhen was imprisoned in Lei Feng, Xiaoqing went to Qingfeng Cave to study hard, in order to find a chance to seek revenge in the future, and Xu Xian also went to Jinshan Temple to study hard.

Therefore, it can also be said that while Fahai was saving Bai Suzhen, he was also saving Xiaoqing and Xu Xian at the same time.

The final result also explained the problem. After Bai Suzhen got out of the tower, she soared into immortals together with Xiaoqing and Xu Xian.

Of course, Fahai also flew into the immortal together, and Fahai saved himself while saving Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Xu Xian.

The reason why Fahai was able to ascend into an immortal also happened to prove that he forcibly shut Bai Suzhen into the Leifeng Pagoda, which indeed helped Bai Suzhen ascend to the heart of the immortal world.

Because, if Fahai was to forcibly imprison Bai Suzhen into Leifeng Tower purely for his own personal grievances, he would obviously not be qualified to become a celestial being.

For such a reason, Li Fan agrees, and this reason also happens to explain a problem.

That was when Li Fan was a kid in his previous life. When he watched "The Legend of the New White Lady", Fa Hai was obviously so bad. Why was he able to become immortal together with Bai Suzhen, Xiao Qing, and Xu Xian in the last time?

After growing up, Li Fan watched "The Legend of the New White Lady" and slowly found the answer, which was the fourth reason analyzed above.

Of course, this is not to say that Hai forcibly imprisoned Bai Suzhen into the Leifeng Pagoda without any personal grievances. He should also avenge his personal revenge. As for the four reasons, who is the master and who is the second? It's hard to explain, everyone's views and opinions may not be the same.

The above analysis of the four reasons is all based on the previous TV series "Legend of the White Snake" by Zhao Yazhi, Ye Tong, and Chen Meiqi, not on the legend of the White Snake, let alone some other film and television works about the White Snake.

The "Legend of White Snake" released by Li Fan in this world is adapted from the previous TV series "Legend of New White Snake".

So the reason why Fahai must be imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda is also destined to arouse intense discussion among readers in this world.

The first three reasons are obvious, but whether the fourth reason will be analyzed and recognized by everyone is unknown.

Li Fan wondered that it was affirmative to be analyzed, but it should be difficult to get everyone's approval.

There is no other way. Who makes Fahai feel too bad?

However, when it comes to Fahai and Jinshan Temple, Li Fan thinks it is necessary to say more.

In the history of previous lives, there really was a Zen Master Fahai who was a Taoist monk in the Tang Dynasty, who had made outstanding contributions to the development of Buddhism.

According to legend, the popular name of Zen Master Fahai, Pei Wende, was the son of Pei Xiu, a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. He respected his father's will and aspires to aspire to Buddhism.

At that time, the Jinshan was full of thorns, it was desolate, and there was a white python entrenched in the cave, which often harmed the surrounding area.

Fahai defeated the white python, expelled it into the sea, and then lived in the cave where the white python was originally occupied.

Fahai studied hard here, cultivated mountains and cultivated fields, and vigorously vibrated the temple, creating the famous Jinshan Temple, which is the founder of Jinshan Temple.

The cave where Fahai lived in that year later became a well-known Zen cave. It is a very influential "Fahai Zen Master's Meditation Cave". It is also one of the four famous caves in Jinshan today, Fahai Cave.

It can be seen that in history, Zen Master Fahai was the founder of Jinshan Temple who was admired by all people and was admired by all people.
