"The spring breeze is blowing. It seems that life has been good recently."
In the ruined temple, Chen Yi waved his hand to a white cloud futon and motioned Yu Lian to sit down. He then pinched her delicate chin, looked at it carefully, and teased her with a smile.
No offense intended.
Being ugly and acting frivolous is called teasing, being handsome is called romantic, and being of Chen Yi's level is called straightforward. How many girls dream of being treated like this.
Yu Lian's pretty face was so red that she almost bled, but she never thought of slapping that hand away from the beginning to the end. She just nervously grasped the corner of her clothes, curled up and responded timidly:
"Lian...Lian'er is thin-skinned. Master, please don't play tricks on Lian'er."
"ha."
Chen Yi chuckled lightly and rubbed Yu Lian's head. There was no trace of guilt on his face. He calmly retracted his hand, but he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart.
Actually.
He really didn't mean to take advantage. To put it bluntly, if he really wanted to do something to Yu Lian, the latter had no ability to resist, so there was no need to hide it.
And the reason why he did this was really helpless.
Ever since the Hantan incident, the Buddha nature in Yu Lian's body was awakened by the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it has been subtly influencing her own will all the time.
Although the Lotus Buddha Kingdom gave him face.
And deliberately manipulated and promoted the progress of this trend, but after all, it was nine generations of hard training, and the Buddha nature was deeply rooted, and it had long been imprinted on the deepest part of Yu Lian's soul.
These days.
Her Buddha-nature is getting stronger and stronger, which shows that she has been influenced by the previous nine lives, and her overall consciousness is gradually moving closer to the Buddha-nature of being pure and ascetic.
If we don't use some means to stimulate her, I'm afraid she will really become a Buddhist monk with no desires in the future. Yu Lian doesn't want to lose her seven emotions and six desires.
so.
She took the initiative to ask Chen Yi to do this.
Only in this way can ripples spread in her gradually calm heart, constantly reminding herself that she is still a kind and righteous person.
"It's hard to get on the right path if you just run away."
a long time.
He looked at the girl in front of him who was obviously very shy and forced himself to endure.
Chen Yi sighed: "Since you have embarked on this path, you will eventually become a Buddha. You know better than me that Buddhism is your root. This... is not a long-term solution."
Yu Lian's expression froze.
Then it kept changing, and finally settled on the unwillingness: "Is it necessary to become a Buddha to practice Buddhism? Lian'er also wants to walk her own path like Master."
Chen Yi was silent.
He understood Yu Lian's thoughts.
Yu Lian deliberately forgets everything in her past life and suppresses her own Buddha nature. Ultimately, she is afraid that after becoming a Buddha, she will be separated from the hustle and bustle of the world, live alone in the golden palace, and have no access to the five grains.
To her.
In this life, I incarnated as a mortal cicada, dormant in the boundless darkness for twenty-three years before gaining human form. The bitterness and suffering involved cannot be understood except through experience.
With the above background, this humanity becomes particularly valuable.
to this end.
She would rather give up becoming a Buddha.
In fact, the layout of the previous nine lives, the accumulation of the nine lives, and the foundation of the nine lives, as long as she is willing to return to the lotus world, she can transform into a god with just a thought, and it is as easy as flipping a finger.
But she chose a more difficult and rugged road.
It cannot be judged by simple value or not. Every monk has his own obsession and persistence. This is her own choice. There is no right or wrong.
only.
This road is difficult to walk and is paved with the bones of countless sages.
Since ancient times, only a dozen creatures have successfully reached the other side. Chen Yi's success was all due to the support of Bai Hu'er Lian, but Bai Hu'er Lian would not help Yu Lian.
His world is big.
It is big enough to hold the boundless galaxies, the vast territory, the countless races in Luotian, and the vast era, but it is also very small, so small that it can only accommodate Chen Yi and nothing else.
She can only rely on herself.
