Yu Sheng, who has a sharp ear, glanced sideways at Cao'er and said that he was still a doctor, and he was not afraid of being hacked to death.
The young monk looked at the old monk in surprise. He didn't know where the old monk started talking. How could this broken precept be related to my Buddha?
"You can stand after you break. Only by experiencing the world of mortals can you see through the world of mortals." The old monk said to the young monk sincerely.
"You have a predestined relationship with me, the Buddha, and have the root of wisdom. However, Sutras and Zen cannot be understood by intelligence. The Buddha reincarnated in three lives, went through hardships, and tasted all the sufferings in the world. Finally, he achieved enlightenment by meditating cross-legged under the bodhi tree. He can only walk in the world once.
Only then can you see Prajna." The old monk said to the young monk slowly, "If you enter the world, your wisdom can only make you a famous monk. After entering the world and reborn, you will see one leaf, one bodhi, and one flower, one world."
The young monk listened carefully. At the end of the old monk's words, he had completely raised his head and stared directly at the old monk.
"Do you understand?" the old monk finally asked the young monk. The young monk vaguely understood, but still nodded.
Yu Sheng joined in the fun and said, "What if the little monk doesn't see through the world of mortals? Wouldn't he have no chance to be with me or your Buddha?"
"He will see through it. He has nothing to do but tell people's fortunes and predict their future." The old monk looked at the young monk and said, "I can see his future. He and I have already formed a bond.
It’s fate.”
The young monk didn't know the pain involved. After hearing the old monk's affirmation, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
Yu Sheng suddenly said, "So you are a fortune teller, so tell me what my future will be like?"
The old monk glanced at Yu Sheng and said, "Old monk only tells people's fortunes."
"I'm not human?"
"you are not human."
"I..." Yu Sheng thought about it and decided to forget it. He is really not a human being. He is barely half a person, half human and half god.
The old monk took a sip of tea. When everyone was relieved that he did not punish the young monk, the old monk changed the topic, "But as a monk, you still have to follow rules."
"Since you have broken the precepts, it is not appropriate to return to the mountain temple. It is blasphemy against the Buddha."
"Master! I..." The little monk's face turned pale with fright, and his eyes filled with tears almost instantly.
The old monk stretched out his hand to interrupt the young monk. He glanced at Yu Sheng and said, "Since he broke his precepts at Shopkeeper Yu's Inn, I think he should be placed here."
The inn has plenty of places to employ people, so it is not a problem to accommodate a young monk, but the young monk is a little reluctant.
He looked at the old monk with tears in his eyes, "Master, you don't want me anymore?"
The old monk slowly shook his head, "Destiny is achieved step by step by oneself, and Prajna Paramita can be obtained by asking in one's heart when one is walking alone."
After saying that, the old monk touched the young monk's bald head and said kindly: "You have been with me for a long time, and I have told you all the Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles."
"Now is the time for you to realize it."
As he spoke, the old monk stood up and clasped his hands to Yu Sheng, "Old monk happens to be going east to travel to Qianshan Island, so the bad guy will ask Shopkeeper Yu."
"Qianshan Island?" Yu Sheng muttered. In a few days, the ancient survivors of Qianshan Island will send deposits to the inn, and he will also go to Qianshan Island in the future.
After hearing that Yu Sheng could take him to Qianshan Island to find his master soon, the young monk's sadness became much lighter when he said goodbye.
He reluctantly said goodbye to the old monk. After leaving the inn, he saw the old monk's box on the steps next to him.
The old monk put on his bamboo hat, carried the box on his back, took the bamboo stick next to him, put his hands together and said "Amitabha" to Yu Sheng, and then headed east.
"Master, the road to Qianshan Island is closer to the north." Yu Sheng pointed to the west road leading north to Demon City.
It is much faster to go north to Yaocheng and then get out of the sky, then go up the main road to the east, than to go east along the sea to go north or to bypass Beishan and go east.
The old monk turned around and smiled "haha" at Yu Sheng, and strode eastward, with the young monk following closely behind.
Yu Sheng walked down the steps and watched under the setting sun as the backs of the old monk and the young monk were lengthened until they reached the bridgehead at the end of the town avenue in the east.
The old monk stopped and didn't know what he said. The young monk lowered his head.
The old monk touched his forehead and walked forward with his bamboo stick, leaving the young monk to watch his figure drift away.
After the old monk disappeared, Cao'er patted his chest and said to Liu Liu: "Huh, you scared me. Fortunately, it's okay."
Are you afraid now? Liu Liu gave her a blank look and turned around to bask in the sun.
If anyone has the most enviable job in the inn, it must be Liu Liu. She can just stay in the sun and bask in the sun.
At this time, Yu Sheng came to his senses and looked back at Ye Zigao, Bai Gaoxing and Fu Nan.
"Why do I suddenly feel that he took the opportunity to dump the little monk as a burden on us?" Yu Sheng said.
"Ah?" Fu Nan was startled.
"What did he say just now that he was about to travel east to Qianshan Island?" Yu Sheng recalled.
"It's true, we were tricked by this old man." Ye Zigao realized, "No wonder I don't blame him at all for breaking the precepts as a young monk."
"How about I bring him back?" Fu Nan scratched the back of his head and said.
"Forget it." Yu Sheng shook his head. The reason given by the old monk was very convincing. The young monk had already broken the precepts and it was not appropriate to go back to be a monk.
"We were just plotted by the old monk? Doesn't that make the four of us too stupid?" Fu Nan said unconvinced.
"A bald head usually dissipates heat quickly, and a cooled head is naturally cunning. It's not surprising that the old monk tricked him." Yu Sheng found an excuse for himself.
Ye Zigao and Bai Gaoxing naturally didn't believe it, but Fu Nan touched his hair and had the idea of shaving his head.
Yu Sheng turned back to Cao'er and said, "You are the one who caused this problem. From now on, the young monk will be taken care of by you."
Cao'er agreed, went down the steps, hugged Qiuqiu, and went to the east bridge to pull the little monk back.
Yu Sheng turned around and was about to go back to the inn when he heard someone calling him from the bridge under the east archway, "Shopkeeper Yu, shopkeeper Yu."
"Hey, you are a rare visitor." Yu Sheng turned around and agreed, and reminded in a low voice: "Let Xiaobai run away, Old Man Hu is here again."
As an old fox, Old Man Hu pestered the little white fox as soon as he came to the inn, so much so that the little white fox now hides when he sees him.
Old Man Hu carried a bamboo basket and ran towards Yu Sheng panting, "Shopkeeper Yu, come out, something big has happened."
"What happened?" Yu Sheng asked in surprise when he saw Old Man Hu sweating profusely.
"The crazy god is coming to kill you." Old Man Hu didn't bother to put down his backpack and took Yu Sheng's arm and said.
Yu Sheng jumped up and asked, "Where is it? Where is it?"
"Yes, it's a line of sky in Beishan." Old Man Hu said.
"Scare me..." Yu Sheng stopped in time, "After you finished speaking, I was so excited that I almost jumped up and hit someone. I've been waiting for this crazy god for a long time."
"Shopkeeper Yu, don't be careless." Old Man Hu tried his best to calm down before speaking, "He has gathered a large number of monsters in the north."
"The monsters are really not very intelligent. They are not afraid of this crazy god eating them," Yu Sheng said.
"Ordinary monsters don't have what Mad God Yanyong wants." Shi Jingtian came out after hearing the noise in the inn.
"I don't have it either," Yu Sheng said innocently.
"Could it be that you are interested in my wise head?" Yu Sheng said again. Now everyone's eyes turned over, and they all looked like "You're kidding me."
"Why, isn't it?" Yu Sheng raised his head and fought back.
"I think the shopkeeper is right," said Ye Zigao.
When others looked at him questioning his integrity, Ye Zigao said leisurely: "For the crazy ancient god, even the shopkeeper's brain is what he wants."
