Chapter 9: Experiment Failure

He had thought too simply of cultivation.

Lu Zheng had read the Tao Te Ching and the Diamond Sutra, and then used a ray of light of providence to activate his thoughts, but it only allowed him to recite these two sutras backwards.

Becoming an immortal? In your dreams!

Lu Zheng, who refused to give up, transmigrated to the great Jing dynasty again. However, the jade seal still did not respond.

Online literature really did harm! The damned author would not end well!

“There are a few possibilities!”

“First, Buddhism in the great Jing dynasty is different from that of modern Buddhism. These two books are useless.”

“Second, these two scriptures are not meant for cultivation. They are just theory. After all, the same theory may lead to different results due to different environments.”

“Third, these two scriptures are meant for cultivation, but someone must guide me in the beginning. I can’t understand them at all now, so I have no foundation.”

“Fourth, these two scriptures are too profound. If I want to understand them, the first step requires a massive amount of light of providence. The little light of providence I have is only enough to memorize the sutras.”

The first situation was the worst. It meant that all the Buddhist scriptures that Lu Zheng could easily obtain in the modern world would be useless.

The second scenario was slightly better. At the very least, he could get support. Furthermore, with the theoretical guidance, it would be easier for Lu Zheng to understand how to cultivate.

This was also the most likely situation.

As for the third and fourth situation, he didn’t want to think too much about them. Otherwise, he would go crazy.

…

Neither the “Tao Te Ching” nor the “Diamond Sutra” would work. Lu Zheng had no interest in looking for other Taoist and Buddhist sutras with general theories, or cultivation manuals whose authenticity was unknown.

There were ready-made ones in the great Jing dynasty. After he settled down there, he could find useful ones in the modern world. Wouldn’t that be much more efficient?

After deciding on this, Lu Zheng put the thought aside and began to think about the light of providence.

“I’ve been in the great Jing dynasty for more than ten days, but I didn’t trigger the light of providence.”

“Until I met an old beggar. I gave him a chicken leg and a meal, and I got five rays.”

“I sent a rapist to the county government and that gave me a ray of light of providence.”

“Hiss!”

“This old beggar is no ordinary person! How could there be so much change in fate just by eating a meal?

Or is it because I gained enlightenment from this meal and increased my own luck?”

“However, if I want to increase the amount of light of providence, wouldn’t I have to change the fate of others on a large scale?”

“Then how am I supposed to keep a low profile? In this era, hiding is the way to go!”

“Or should I say, go for those with great fortune?”

“If I secretly kill an emperor, will I become a saint on the spot?”

“A villain?”

“Or … I give the Tao Te Ching anonymously to some potential stars or supervillains to change their fate?”

“The mastermind?”

“It’s so difficult. There are too many ways to go about it. It’s really hard to choose!”

Lu Zheng fell asleep in a daze.

…

The next morning.

The first was to look at the jade seal in his mind. The second was to look at the balance in his phone.

“Ring!”

“Hello,” he said.

“Hello, are you Mr. Lu Zheng?” The voice on the other end of the phone was sweet, and it was obviously not a robot.

“Yes.”

“I’m a customer service representative from China Merchants Bank. We saw that you have a sum of eight million yuan in idle funds. Our bank has just launched …”

“Beep, beep, beep …”

Hmph! No matter how sweet her voice was, it was pointless if she had ideas about his funds!

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zheng picked up his phone and went to the great Jing dynasty again.

“Uncle Li!”

“Young master!”

“Do we have enough supplies at home?”

“Yes! We don’t lack food, and I still have the allowance you gave me. It’s enough to last until next month. My wife is keeping track!”

“Alright!” Lu Zheng nodded and prepared to go shopping as usual.

“Young master, someone from the clothing shop on the east side came yesterday to deliver the clothes you ordered. I saw that you weren’t around yesterday, so I put them in the west room.”

By now, Uncle Li was already used to Lu Zheng’s unpredictable appearance.

However, as a servant, as long as the master didn’t commit any crimes, he shouldn’t ask, as long as he’s living well.

“Oh? Alright. ”

When Lu Zheng had first arrived, he had been wearing ancient clothes that he had bought from the modern era.

Although it was professionally-made, there were still slight differences in details compared to those made in the great Jing dynasty, not to mention the fabric.

It was fine if one didn’t pay attention, but if one did, it would be easy to spot the difference.

Therefore, after Lu Zheng bought a house, the first thing he did was to go to a clothing store and buy some clothes. Then, under the persuasion of the store owner, he ordered a few more custom-made clothes.

“Not bad, I’m a rich person who can wear a custom-made dress.”

Lu Zheng returned to the west room to check on the clothes that had been delivered.

Two sapphire blue silk robes, two moon-white round-neck cotton robes, three sets of black cotton pants, two crimson flower belts, and a black brocade cloak.

Tsk, tsk, how particular!

Lu Zheng changed into a custom-made outer shirt and felt that it fit him perfectly. When he put it on in the modern world and looked at himself in the dressing mirror, he would look like a fine young master.

“Whose cosplay is more impressive than mine? My clothes are hand-sewn with an ancient technique of woven fabric and the only one that exists in the twenty-first century!”

After a moment of enjoyment, Lu Zheng once again transmigrated to the great Jing dynasty.

He was too excited last night and tried on the clothes again. It was almost noon now. The storyteller at Qingsheng Teahouse had finished his performance, and there was a play in the afternoon.

Lu Zheng didn’t even understand modern plays, let alone the plays of the great Jing dynasty.

Therefore, Qingsheng Teahouse was a pass.

Then, all that was left was to prepare a gift for his visit to Baiyun Temple and think about how to increase his light of providence.

Of the six rays of light of providence, one was for strengthening, one was for his computer science knowledge, and one was for memorizing scriptures. There were only three left.

It was not few but not many either, so he had to use it sparingly.

“Should I go back to the modern world to prepare an offering to the Baiyun Temple?

“If Baiyun Temple is really magical, then it can definitely change my fate. ”

“There’s no rush. Let’s play it safe. We’ll send some money and see if Baiyun Temple is really magical. It’ll attract too much attention if I randomly send modern gifts.”

Lu Zheng immediately put his thoughts into action. He returned to the modern world and took out some money from his folder. Then, he called Uncle Li and headed out to rent a donkey cart to go to Baiyun Temple.

Although it was only morning and Mount Shaotong in the east of the city was less than 20 miles from the county, the road was difficult to walk on. If they walked there, they would not be able to make it back before dark.
