"Master!"
Not knowing what Xiaoqing had done without telling him, Pei Wende simply finished cooking the meal and sent it outside Zen Master Lingyou's Zen room.
Along with the vegetarian meal, sent to Zen Master Lingyou's Zen room, there was also the "heart-tonifying soup" that Pei Wende carefully cooked every day.
Of course, it is said to be a "heart-buoyant soup", but in fact there is no secret recipe passed down by the old miracle doctor. It is the result of Pei Wende's own medical skills learned during this period.
Unlike the old Chinese doctors of this era who follow the theory of the Five Elements Qi and Meridians, Pei Wende, who comes from the 21st century, has a better understanding of the structure and function of human body organs than they do.
To be honest, if it weren't for Zen Master Lingyou's acceptance ability and the fact that the other party had lived for so many years with a damaged heart chakra, Pei Wende would have considered whether to directly perform an organ transplant on him.
But when I think about modern medicine, I am still a monk - I am confused.
In addition, in today's era, performing surgeries such as "heart transplant" is really sensational, and Pei Wende finally chose to give up the idea honestly.
Compared to being misunderstood by Zen Master Lingyou and falling into evil heretics, and then angering him to death...
Pei Wende felt that if he persuaded the other party to take medicine, he would be more likely to live a few more years.
"I need to drink medicine again!"
Zen Master Lingyou, who was always unsmiling in front of outsiders, showed a rare expression of disgust after seeing Pei Wende's bowl of "heart-tonifying soup".
"If I drink a bowl of it all day long, I won't have the appetite to eat!"
Hearing this, Pei Wende couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Let’s not talk about the old saying “good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease”.
The "heart-buoyant soup" that Pei Wende cooked was not a serious Chinese medicine, and the taste was not as unpleasant as Zen Master Lingyou said.
However, once people get older, their personality and temperament are actually no different from those of children.
Even once-all-powerful "crazy monks" like Zen Master Lingyou can't escape occasionally showing their willful side in front of close people.
"It's not like you've been hiding your illness. If you had told me earlier, you might not have gone to such trouble."
Although Pei Wende also knew that his statement was definitely unreliable, he couldn't stand the fact that Zen Master Lingyou had indeed kept it from him for more than ten years. Now that he was being punished, he didn't feel bad at all.
"Besides, my senior brother also told me before he went down that if you take the medicine honestly, you can live for at least three to five years..."
"But if I don't take the medicine, I'll have to survive another winter at most."
When he said this, a flash of distress and regret flashed in Pei Wende's eyes.
Because Pei Wende didn't doubt Hui Ji's judgment at all, he even felt that the other party's sudden descent from the mountain was probably to find a way out for Zen Master Lingyou.
Prior to this, because Zen Master Lingyou disguised himself well, Pei Wende had never known that the old monk had hidden his illness from the fact that his condition had become so serious.
"Alas, you brothers are still too persistent after all."
I don’t know if it’s just to comfort Pei Wende, or if I really think so...
Zen Master Lingyou sighed helplessly while raising the soup bowl.
"Monk, I have lived to such a long age, and I have already lived a long life."
"If I hadn't been worried about what trouble you brothers would get into, I would have gone to see the Buddha a few years ago."
"That's all. Since you fellow apprentices are so reluctant to let go, old monk, I will postpone my meeting with the Buddha for a few more years!"
After all, Zen Master Lingyou couldn't bear Pei Wende's urging eyes and drank the bowl of soup in one gulp.
"Amitabha, I hope the Buddha will not blame his disciples for being greedy for life."
"It's really my disciple who is unfilial and insists on delaying my early attainment of bliss, old monk."

A moment later, inside the main hall of Tongqing Temple.
"Brother Pei? Master scolded you again today?"
When Pei Wende pushed open the door of the hall with a look of helplessness, Zhang Chusheng, who had cleaned the hall early in the morning, looked curiously and saw no trace of Zen Master Lingyou.
"The old monk has become more and more difficult to serve recently..."
"Obviously it's for his own good, but he still has to curse me."
After rubbing Zhang Chusheng's head skillfully, Pei Wende, who felt that his mood felt inexplicably better, pointed to the temple door outside and said weakly.
"Chu Sheng, go open the door!"
While dodging Pei Wende's big hand with a smile, Zhang Chusheng made a face at him without noticing anything, and then ran out towards the gate of the temple.
"Is this kid... getting more and more presumptuous?"
Obviously not long ago, he still looked like a mature little adult, but since the last "borrowing money" incident, Zhang Chusheng's character has become more and more active.
It seems that because in Tongqing Temple, he is no longer the only male in the family, no longer the eldest son of his parents, and no longer his sister's brother, Zhang Chusheng began to enjoy the rare "privilege" of being a child. .
"But being unbridled is all that matters. This kid finally looks a bit like a child."
In Pei Wende's impression, a real child should be Zhang Chusheng as active as he is now.
The person who has always been worried about the family's income and expenditure, and even thought about how to help the family earn some income, is certainly a "prodigy" in the eyes of adults in this era.
But in Pei Wende's view, this undoubtedly killed Zhang Chusheng's infinite possibilities in the future.
To use a saying that may not be appropriate, lucky people use their childhood to heal their entire lives, while unfortunate people use their entire lives to heal their childhood.
As the age when a person should be most arrogant in life, he shoulders responsibilities that are not his own. This kind of alternative "precociousness" will destroy Zhang Chusheng sooner or later.
Just think about those geniuses who became famous at a young age, how many of them ended up with a happy ending?
Especially as a future practitioner, once Zhang Chusheng, who has never enjoyed the happiness of childhood, masters power beyond mortals, how he will use this power naturally becomes what Zen Master Pei Wende and Lingyou are most worried about.
The key to raising a tiger is not to limit its minions until it reaches adulthood.
Rather, it helps it develop various good habits and temperaments during its early childhood.
There is no doubt that both Pei Wende and Zen Master Lingyou regard Zhang Chusheng as a "tiger" that has not yet grown up.
"Tsk, tsk, this mentality of treating others as elders in advance..."
Pei Wende, who had never treated anyone as an elder in his entire life, muttered softly as he sat down on the reading table next to the giant Buddha.
"It really has an indescribable subtlety."
