"Senior Apprentice-Brother is courageous and diligent, he is a man of great wisdom but sometimes he can be a little stubborn but he has no ill intentions.
Although you do not wish to be the companion of the lamp but the vast Buddhism is not something that can only be achieved by cutting off one's hair and going deep into the mountains. Dao is everywhere but Buddha is only in the heart. "It was rare for the monk to show a serious expression but it made him look dignified.
Xu Xian heard the sincerity in his words and could not help but straighten his expression. He put his palms together and said, "Shi Se will remember Master Uncle's teachings!"
"Shi Se?"
"That is the Buddhist name given to me by master." Xu Xian blushed slightly. Although he knew that this was not the usual color but he still felt that it did not sound nice.
But he believed that this Master Uncle would understand the abstruse Buddhist theory of 'Color is Emptiness' … Bastard, what are you laughing at?
The monk's shoulders trembled, and then he clutched his stomach and laughed out loud. He pointed at Xu Xian and said, "Shi … Shi se …" It was obvious that this Buddhist monk was not thinking about the high level stuff like 'sex is emptiness', but something very vulgar.
His loud laughter startled a flock of forest birds and reached the sky along with his laughter.
Pan Yu and Yun Yan also smiled and did not care about Xu Xian's trembling eyebrows and ugly expression.
Only the old nun still had a bitter look on her face. It was obvious that she was not easy to laugh.
Xu Xian interrupted, "Master, master, you can't be like this. Do you know that your image was completely ruined just now?"
The monk slightly stopped smiling and glanced at Pan Yu and Yun Yan. He shook his head and sighed, "Senior Apprentice-Brother Fahai, he is indeed a man of great wisdom. I am ashamed, I am ashamed. Why don't you become my disciple?"
"Then you can laugh every day, right?" Xu Xian was glad that he had the right master. At least that person still had the image of an eminent monk.
To him, talking about the profound truths of Buddhism and life with him was nothing compared to accidentally farting during a conversation.
That was why the old nun came to him to discuss Dharma seriously. Things like Buddha and Emptiness. He felt that it was extremely boring and just bowed down to admit defeat.
"Are you really an enlightened monk?"
"This trip was worth it!" Fa Shan exclaimed.
That's worth it?
The monk looked back at the old nun with a smile, "Why don't you laugh at such a funny name? Don't you understand?
Let me explain it to you. His Buddhist name is Shise, but he is very lecherous. I heard that there are not only these two, but he also has many close female friends. He even fought with my Senior Brother for a woman called Bai Suzhen. He simply disregarded everything and is extremely lecherous. Don't you think it's funny? "
"Yan 'er, Mingyu, why are you nodding?" Xu Xian was dissatisfied.
"I just feel that what this master said makes a lot of sense." Pan Yu shook her head.
"Yeah, yeah," Yun Yan agreed.
When the monk was excitedly explaining to the old nun what was so funny about this Buddhist name, he was completely different from when he was preaching and discussing Taoism.
However, the old nun did not have the slightest intention of appreciating his kindness. She still kept a straight face and a layer of green air floated above her.
A monk and a nun stood facing each other. They were both skinny, but the feeling they gave off was completely different. The monk's face was not like the old nun's, which carried a deathly aura. Instead, it was full of vitality.
The crisscrossing wrinkles were not the slightest bit rigid. Instead, they were lines of smile lines accumulated over countless years. They were engraved with the smile of the past. Laughter, laughter, laughter.
The monk shook his head and sighed, "Ai, having lived to this point, what's the point of living for another hundred or even a thousand years? Everywhere is a living hell. When will we reach the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?
You are in the sea of bitterness, how can you help people out of the sea of bitterness? "
With that said, he lightly touched the old nun's eyebrows with his finger. "When one's heart gets old, they forget how to laugh."
Xu Xian saw the old nun's body tremble. Every inch of her skin was trembling. The wrinkles on her face tightened one by one. The bones in her body were creaking and then shrinking bit by bit.
The black robe on her body gradually became loose.
In the blink of an eye, the originally withered old nun had turned into a lively child.
"Spring comes to a withered tree!"
Xu Xian was secretly shocked. This was not an ordinary illusion. It was a true reversal of life and death, allowing the withered tree to be reborn.
The monk's cultivation was indeed at the level of a deity. He was definitely not below Fahai.
The old nun only felt her body was sore and itchy but she could not move. She thought that the monk was going to use some kind of spell to torture her. She could only grit her teeth and endure until the pain disappeared.
Seeing that her hands had become small and her skin was white with a tinge of red, she quickly carried the loose black robe to the stream. She was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She questioned the monk, "You … what did you do to me? How did I become like this?"
She quickly covered her mouth. Even her voice had become tender and crisp. Compared to her original voice that sounded like a broken gong, it was many times more pleasant to the ears.
"Change?
Isn't this the original you? "
"Quick, quickly change me back!"
The old nun, no, now it should be the little nun, was so scared that her face turned pale. She finally saw the power of a deity.
Xu Xian shouted, "Don't be so ungrateful. The monk is using his own life force to extend your life."
Of course, there was a price to pay. If not, the Peach of Immortality that could extend one's life force would not be so precious. Who would easily sacrifice a hundred years of their life force?
The little nun looked at the monk and saw that he was still smiling but there was a hint of tiredness. Looking closely, it seemed that Bi Fangcai seemed to have aged a little and she herself was full of energy. She knew that what Xu Xian said was true.
The little nun's face was complicated. "You … why are you doing this?"
A normal cultivator's life force was limited. She knew that she did not have much time left. That was why she chose a disciple and prepared to pass on her mantle.
At this moment, it had undoubtedly brought about a turning point in her path of cultivation.
"I have said before, we are fated to be master and disciple. If you died early, wouldn't it be boring?
And you might as well experience the state of mind of the past and smile a little more. "
The little nun was silent for a moment. She looked back at her reflection in the stream. Along with the ups and downs of the stream, the situation two hundred years ago appeared faintly. Was she happy at that time?
How many years ago was the last time she laughed out loud?
A nun was different from a monk. In this era, how many girls from good families would become a nun?
The ancient Buddha lamp could only reduce the pain, but it could not bring joy.
Therefore, she wanted to erase the sad lines on her face. If she had another chance, she must carve a trace of a smile on her face.
If she could live her life with a smile, when death approached, she would definitely not have any regrets.
"Master!"
The little nun bowed to the monk with sincerity. If people treat me with sincerity, how can I not treat others with sincerity?
She thought of the tricks she played and the schemes she set up when she wanted to take Pan Yu as her disciple. She couldn't help but blush with shame. The real Dharma did not lie in a few words in the meditation room.
Instead of saying the word 'mercy', how could it be compared to giving a little kindness to others?
The monk smiled, "I have never asked, what is your Dharma name?"
"Master, please give me another Dharma name."
The monk frowned and then clenched his fist, "A Dharma name is an important matter. Let me think about it carefully. It must not be worse than Shise."
Xu Xian was speechless. Do you really think a Dharma name is an important matter?
You are not considering the meaning of a Dharma name, but whether it is funny or not?
The little nun was honest and did not think much of it.
Xu Xian was puzzled, "Since master has such means, why don't you make yourself younger?"
"Shise martial niece, hehe, form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Why are you so obsessed with appearance?"
Xu Xian's mouth twitched. So you know this sentence. Then please think about it when you say my Dharma name, don't 'hehe'.
Even if you say it now, you can't save your image.
The monk blinked his eyes, "And don't you think the current me is very funny?"
Xu Xian was speechless. He looked at the monk's hunched and skinny body wearing a large and luxurious robe. It did not fit him to the point that it looked like it was stolen. It gave him an inexplicable sense of humor.
The monk said, "Shise martial niece, hehe, this matter is over. Shishu will go back.
If you have time, why don't you come to the temple for a while. I have cultivated for thousands of years and have accumulated many good jokes. There is no one who does not laugh. "
Xu Xian gritted his teeth, "Will you die if you don't say my Dharma name?" Moreover, who would want to go to a temple where one can listen to jokes?
Xu Xian still did not know that in the future, in the countless encounters with the monk Fa Shan, Fa Shan would persistently use his name to address him. He no longer addressed him as' Young Master Xu 'or' Benefactor Xu '.
The monk waved his sleeves and flew away with the little nun. He suddenly turned his head and said, "Oh right, in the coming days, Senior Brother Fahai might come to the capital city. After all, you are his disciple. Why don't you go and meet him? Let's forget about the enmity.
Isn't that right, Shise martial niece, hehe … "
"Hehe your sister!" Xu Xian cursed in his heart. He watched the old monk, who only had 'humor' left in his life, leave.
But when he heard this, he could not help but ponder. Fahai would also come to the capital?
Why would he come?
Because of Hu Xinyue who stole his purple gold alms bowl?
Or because of Taiyin Zhenren who concocted pills?
The capital, which was already in turmoil, would become even more unpredictable. What would he do then?
"Hanwen." Pan Yu walked up and called out softly.
Xu Xian said, "That vixen kept threatening me to run away with the alchemy cauldron. I could not contact my master. I spent a lot of time arguing with her …"
"I did not ask you. Stop talking." Pan Yu used her fingertip to cover his mouth. She wrinkled her nose. She was extremely cute.
"Mingyu, you are becoming more and more feminine." Xu Xian praised sincerely.
"Was I not feminine before?" Pan Yu pouted.
Xu Xian's heart was moved, but she was at a loss for words. She was originally handsome and beautiful, calm and at ease, even better than a man, but it was extremely rare to see a little girl pouting coquettishly. Occasionally she would see it, but she would always treat it as a rare treasure. This was a beauty that only he could display.
Under Xu Xian's gaze, even though her black and white eyes were as cool and calm as water, a trace of shyness gradually appeared in them.
