Chapter 72: Sincere Heart Pays Respect to Buddha with Auspicious Coincidence

  "This... this... I don't know..." Chui Tiao Fa Shi was a bit embarrassed, hastily stretching out his hand to gather up the things and leave.

  "Master Cai Tiao, you came here in the middle of the night to burn paper, I can tell that it's related to today's strange events. What are you trying to hide?!" I quickly grabbed Master Cai Tiao and said: "Why don't you just tell me what's going on? If I can help, that would be great."

  "The little monk can't talk," said Master Cai Tiao, and he hastily left. At this time, the lotus leaf curtain was pulled open with a rustling sound, and that green-clad little girl popped out her head and waved at us: "Let's play together! Let's play together!"

  I was stunned, and the colorful Taoist priest's body began to tremble, muttering: "Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, 'form' is emptiness, emptiness is 'form', humans and ghosts are different paths, you, don't linger here, hurry up and go to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss!"

  "Human and ghost are different paths?" My heart sank, and indeed, this little green-clad girl was a ghost.

  That little girl in green smiled slightly, ignoring the colorful Taoist priest, and said to me: "Today, I saw you, are you also a dragon? We're about the same age! There are only monks here, but it's really boring. Come on, come on, let's play together!" As she spoke, her pale wrist waved back and forth, beckoning me over.

  That hand seemed to be urging me on, and I involuntarily headed towards the Lotus Pond. Master Caihong hastily pulled me back: "Quickly return, don't go over! She... she's not human..."

  I couldn't listen to him at all, I just thought that little girl was lovely and wanted to play with her. The colorful Taoist priest was even smaller than me, so he couldn't hold me back. I shook off the colorful Taoist priest and went towards the little girl. [Family Education + Death God] Yu Yun

  That little girl smiled and said, "It's so cold for one person to be here... it's too lonely, there isn't even anyone to talk to... I often listen to the big monk reciting scriptures, it's actually quite enjoyable. Come, come, come and keep me company!"

  "Alright!" I nodded repeatedly: "I'll be right there!"

  Just as I was about to step forward, a very warm big hand held me back, and a cold, lazy voice sounded behind my head: "Everything has its order, stupid donkey is accompanying you, that divine book wants to make the 'legs' run, where are you going to find it?"

  My mind suddenly cleared up, I turned back to look, the one holding me was Longjing. Guapian yelled on Longjing's shoulder: "Take him away as a companion! Take him away as a companion!"

  That little girl stared at Longjing with a bewildered expression, as if she was extremely perplexed. Longjing blinked her eyes: "Could it be that you also have unfulfilled wishes, and that's why you've been lingering here for so long?"

  That little girl seemed to have been pierced through the heart, stumbled and suddenly fell beside the lotus pond and disappeared.

  "Huh......huh?" I widened my eyes and hastily asked, "Dragon God, how did you end up here? Who is that little 'girl'? What does she have to do with the possession of Yihuan Miss?"

  Longjing yawned and said to the stunned Cai Tiao Fa Shi: "Little monk, you know about this matter, right?"

  The Taoist priest's whole body stiffened, and he trembled with fear as he paid his respects to Longjing: "Little... little monk has the honor, to see the true face of the heavenly god, it is truly an honor, this matter, the little monk promises to keep the secret..." I won't get a divorce.

  "But now it seems that this secret can't be kept any longer." Longjing nodded towards the other courtyard: "Everyone has already come looking for you, and the truth will eventually come to light. It's better if you just say it early on, that way you'll avoid a lot of trouble."

  Cai Tiao Fa Shi hesitated for a moment, and Long Jing laughed: "A monk, the four elements are all empty, let alone a little fame, what can't be seen or opened? If this little girl is still causing trouble, then Ci Bei Temple will also have to follow along and suffer!"

  "Tianshen said it was indeed......" Cai Tiao Fashi lowered his head: "The soul of this little 'female' Bodhisattva is also a heart disease for our Ci Bei Temple."

  "A heart disease needs a 'heart medicine' to be cured, and the bell can only be untied by the one who tied it," Longjing smiled and said: "The common people's proverb is not wrong after all. How about it? Now it's actually a good opportunity."

  "Opportunity?" Cai Tiao Fa Shi was also stunned: "What opportunity?"

  Longjing said meaningfully: "Sooner or later you'll know, first let's talk about this little girl's situation, and I'll help you think of a solution."

  "Speaking of this 'female' Bodhisattva," Cai Tiao Fashi sighed, "I was abandoned in the temple as a child and grew up there. By the lotus pond, I've always seen this 'female' Bodhisattva playing alone since I can remember. I didn't know why she was here before, just thought it was normal, until one day when the temple distributed radishes to everyone to relieve the heat. I took a piece and planned to share it with that 'female' Bodhisattva, but my master discovered me and told me the truth - that 'female' Bodhisattva wasn't human." The beautiful female tenant fell in love with me

  "All things in nature have cause and effect. As a monk, you should know this best. What did your master say?" Longjing asked with interest.

  "My master said that this 'female' Bodhisattva has been appearing and disappearing in this lotus pond for a long time, like a lonely ghost waiting for something. Probably because the female Bodhisattva herself also had a Buddhist connection, she kept listening to the chanting of scriptures and watching the monks practice in Cibei Temple, and was influenced by their practice, so her spirit did not disperse and could stay here. Since she doesn't harm people and often listens to the true scriptures, we just let her be." Caitian Fashi said timidly.

  "It's natural for monks to be compassionate, it seems that the high-ranking monks couldn't bear to drive this little 'girl' away and tacitly allowed her to stay here to study Zen." Longjing said with a smile.

  "The Master said, 'All living beings are equal, and all things in the three realms have the Buddha in their hearts. No one has the right to deprive others of their right to practice.' Cai Tiao Fashi nodded and said, 'However, the ancient temple of Ci Bei Temple has been haunted by lonely souls and wild ghosts for a hundred years. It's not good to spread rumors about a woman, so outsiders are strictly forbidden from entering that courtyard. But somehow, Mei Cai Bodhisattva met the Green-robed Bodhisattva.'"

  It suddenly dawned on me: "It seems that Master Cai Tiao is afraid that I will dig deeper and reveal the truth, so he has been avoiding me. If it weren't for running into you burning paper this time, I would have never found out."

  The Taoist priest nodded shyly: "Although monks don't speak falsely, this matter is not ordinary. The more things are said, the less they should be said. Even if you were a messenger of the heavenly gods, I wouldn't want to involve you in this affair. Today, that 'female' Bodhisattva possessed the Ning family's 'female' Bodhisattva. I originally wanted to advise that green-robed 'female' Bodhisattva a few words, but then I bumped into you."
