Chapter 183 The monk's lecture is so boring
The temple was filled with burning incense. Jiang Jiu sat sleepily on a mat, looking at Fo Jiang who was chanting scriptures across from her. A group of monks surrounded her. She leaned on her arm and swayed from side to side, feeling like she would fall asleep in the next second.
Indeed, she sat from morning to noon, listening to Fo Jiang preaching here. Anyone would find it boring.
Originally, Jiang Jiu thought that Fo Jiang should spend more time practicing every day. Besides, a genius like him should not need such a complicated process. He didn't expect that anyone who is a Buddhist cannot escape it.
His eyelids were drooping, and finally, the ginger wine couldn't hold back anymore.
Half asleep and half awake, the Fo Jiang in front of her overlapped with the Fo Jiang of the past. In fact, she always had an indescribable sense of guilt. If it were like butter, she could do it without any burden or guilt, but in real life, she would never do that.
Unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be regretted, and Fo Jiang was dragged down to the mortal world by her.
Jiang Jiu often felt that Fo Jiang was not like an ordinary person, or maybe he was a Buddha, but most of the time, the emotions he showed towards her seemed quite obvious.
The image of Fo Jiang after he fell into evil flashed through my mind. He had white hair, bloodshot eyes, and an evil look on his face. He was nothing like the compassionate and innocent Fo Jiang he is now.
Speaking of which, Jiang Jiu was still very grateful that he could start over again.
She did not really destroy Fojiang's practice, nor did she ruin his path to becoming emperor.
"The lecture is over. Do you want to wake up?"
Jiang Jiu was thinking in a daze, not knowing whether she was asleep or awake, but the sound in her ears became clearer and clearer. When it surrounded her ears, her consciousness finally pulled out of the dream. When her eyes focused, she saw Fo Jiang's handsome face.
She stared blankly at Fojiang's pink lips opening and closing, and felt that the monk in front of her was very handsome.
Just now she was repenting for the sins she had committed against Fo Jiang in her dream, but now all that was left in her head was the yellow fertilizer. Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu suddenly felt very sorry. This brain was really not cooperating with her.
"Is it really okay for you... to bring me to the temple like this?"
Jiang Jiu asked involuntarily while he was in a daze.
Fo Jiang no longer planned to return to his original world of cultivation, but was prepared to stay here and accompany her, so he found a job in the temple.
Although it is called a job, in fact, I am just an abbot, and I should be able to do it forever.
Compared to others, Fojiang's job seems to be particularly stable.
"No problem."
Fo Jiang calmly helped Jiang Jiu stand up. After sitting on the cushion for a long time, the legs would become numb, so this way they could be more careful to prevent Fo Jiang from falling.
"?"
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
In fact, she never knew what identity she had entered with. Would the monks in the temple really accept that Fu Jiang came with his "girlfriend"?
Perhaps seeing the doubt on Jiang Jiu's face, Fu Jiang took her out, holding up an umbrella to block the scorching sun outside.
The weather is extremely hot today. If I leave myself to the sun, my skin will definitely peel off. This is caused by the ginger wine I drank this morning. The main reason is that it is too hot and it is really painful.
"Don't you already know? This is my job now."
Fo Jiang's gentle voice mixed with the chirping of summer cicadas always gives people a feeling of being in a fairy tale, or perhaps... in an anime?
Jiang Jiu took two quick steps and grabbed Fo Jiang's arm, but still didn't understand.
"What's the meaning?"
She tilted her head and looked at Fojiang's angular profile. It was clearly a compassionate and merciful face, but in Jiang Jiu's eyes it was particularly attractive.
"That is to say, outside of work hours, I can do anything, even fall in love."
Fo Jiang sighed and explained to Jiang Jiu in a more straightforward way.
“???”
A bunch of question marks popped up in Jiang Jiu's head.
What kind of words are these? They are so outrageous.
"I've investigated the temples around here. Most of the monks are fake monks, and quite a few of them have families."
Fo Jiang is still speaking, and his words are shocking.
"ha?"
Jiang Jiu felt that his three views had been refreshed.
But...Fo Jiang's situation seems to be different from theirs?
"So you're also a fake monk?"
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but ask.
“Not really.”
Fo Jiang spoke in a light tone and walked out of the temple with ginger wine. The shade of the woods blocked the scorching sun, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but run out of the range of Fo Jiang's umbrella, ran all the way forward, then turned around and walked backwards, looking at Fo Jiang with a smile.
"Why doesn't it count? You like me!"
Her voice grew slightly louder, echoing through the trees.
The temple where Fojiang is now is built in a very quiet location, surrounded by woods. Except for the small path in and out of the temple, there are basically no other people.
"I like you."
Looking at Jiang Jiu's matter-of-fact and carefree look, Fo Jiang was helpless and sighed deeply.
"So you are a fake monk!"
Jiang Jiu said confidently.
"good."
Fo Jiang looked at Jiang Jiu's face, which looked like a mischievous bad boy, and his heart was filled with ripples. Finally, he curled the corners of his mouth in response.
Jiang Jiu was just joking originally, but after hearing Fo Jiang compromise, he became a little unhappy.
She pouted and ran back to Fo Jiang, muttering complaints.
"No, that's not what I meant. Shouldn't you explain it to me now? Why did you just agree to it?"
Jiang Jiu became more and more dissatisfied as he spoke, and he almost wanted to throw this annoying monk out.
Fo Jiang tilted his head slightly and lowered his eyes, looking at Jiang Jiu's furry hair. Even there, he could vaguely see her anger. The emotions in his heart spread and fermented, and he seemed to like her even more.
"Do you want to hear my explanation? Don't you think my teachings on Buddhism are boring and you're so sleepy you're about to fall asleep? If I were to explain it to you now, you'd definitely yell, 'It's boring!'"
Although his words sounded like he was saying that Jiang Jiu was willful, they were actually a bit too gentle, and Jiang Jiu's ears just felt itchy.
It's like pampering is written all over this person.
Fo Jiang dotes on her unconditionally.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu's face couldn't help but turn red.
"Who said it was boring?"
She absolutely could not admit it and was determined to remain stubborn.
Ginger wine is stubborn.
"Then shall I tell you?"
Fo Jiang leaned down slightly and put his ear close to Jiang Jiu's ear, his voice slightly cool but with a smile.
He likes this ginger wine who is acting like a spoiled brat.
Before he knew it, Fo Jiang no longer called himself "poor monk" nor did he call Jiang Jiu "donor Jiang". This was the tacit understanding between the two of them, and no one mentioned the past.
Unpleasant things should be let go of the wind, instead of being revisited again and again and tearing the scars.
But now ginger wine should have let go of those things.
