Chapter 23 The last chapter ~ Congratulations on the completion!
Fo Jiang pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking about Jiang Jiu's attitude. After they both returned to the living room, he spoke slowly.
"When can I change back?"
Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and gave a brief answer.
"Not necessarily. Some people are faster, some are slower, but it shouldn't take more than two days at most."
Her answer unsurprisingly caused a hint of regret to appear in Fo Jiang's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Jiu thought something had happened to Fo Jiang and asked with some concern.
"No problem, but the thought of using this body for a long time makes me feel uneasy. This is not the reaction of a Buddhist disciple."
Fo Jiang has always been very strict with himself, which made Jiang Jiu a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and didn't know what to say.
Since they really couldn't figure out Fo Jiang's preferences, the two sat in the living room. Jiang Jiu turned on the TV and started to see the latest news, while Fo Jiang started to beat the wooden fish again.
The regular sound of the wooden fish wasn't annoying, so I ignored the ginger wine.
Only occasionally would she turn her head and look at Fo Jiang with a thoughtful expression.
But what she thought was an occasional glance was quite clear to Fo Jiang and he could easily sense it. Finally, when Jiang Jiu looked at him again, Fo Jiang opened his eyes.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Jiang Jiu felt a little embarrassed after hearing Fo Jiang's direct question.
"Um...can I ask?"
Ginger wine with caution.
"Can."
Fo Jiang didn't think he had any secrets to hide, especially from Jiang Jiu.
"What were you like before you entered Buddhism?"
She knew that Fojiang was taken away by the Buddhist sect at a very young age, but before that, he must have been a child of a mortal family.
Perhaps her question was too abrupt, which made Fo Jiang stunned for a moment before he spoke with a complicated expression.
"Actually, I don't remember clearly anymore."
He was too young at that time.
"Too."
Inexplicably, Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. She withdrew her gaze, and the two returned to their previous state.
The room was quiet. Jiang Jiu didn't really have the heart to watch TV, but she knew that she had to stay at home with Fo Jiang and wait for him to get through this period, otherwise it would be unsafe.
Even though the public security in modern society is very good, there will still be various accidents, and she doesn't want Fo Jiang to be in danger.
While she was thinking, she suddenly felt a big hand on her back. She turned her head and saw Fo Jiang, who had turned back into a male body at some point, looking at him with a smile in his eyes.
"you...."
Jiang Jiu was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. They were talking faster than the last.
"If you really want to know your question, I still remember a little bit."
Fo Jiang sat beside her, speaking in a gentle voice, as if he was telling a story.
"I vaguely remember that I was taken away on a snowy night. The family that gave birth to me seemed to have heard some rumors and didn't want to raise me anymore. They wanted to abandon me. It was only by chance that someone from the Buddhist holy land came and took me away, that I didn't freeze to death in the snowy night."
Every word he said made Jiang Jiu clench his palms, and his heart felt sour as if something was holding it back.
I didn't expect that Fo Jiang would have such an experience.
"Oh, it's probably because of that rumor. It's like the child in front of the Buddha will die young and return to the Buddha soon, so they can't grow up. Even though I was actually in good health at that time, they didn't want to raise a child who was destined to die according to the rumor."
"The cost of raising a child for an ordinary family is too high. They don't want to waste their money and energy on me, fearing that it might all go to waste."
His tone was calm, as if he was talking about something unimportant.
In fact, it really doesn't matter. He had already forgotten it long ago. Maybe he was really sad when he left that house, but that was just the sadness of a child. Now he has completely forgotten that feeling. Practicing Buddhism is to cultivate the mind and nature. He has long been unmoved by such mundane things.
If Jiang Jiu hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.
Ginger wine is a completely different experience.
"They're actually going to abandon you based on a mere myth. That's really too much!"
She was indignant and spoke out for Fo Jiang, feeling sad about the ignorance of the ancient people.
"Actually, I don't care anymore."
Fo Jiang curled the corners of his mouth. A person who is usually indifferent and gentle would look very good when he suddenly smiled. Jiang Jiu was also successfully attracted by the smile on his lips and diverted some of his attention.
"You're so pretty, they'll definitely regret it."
Jiang Jiu muttered and complained.
"Perhaps, they have been reincarnated and are no longer in this world."
Fo Jiang looked away and spoke in a light tone.
"Oh, that's a possibility."
Jiang Jiu was stunned. He counted the time of his death on his fingers, adding the time wasted in the long river of time. Perhaps it was true that hundreds of years had already passed in the world of cultivation.
The lifespan of mortals could not support them to live for hundreds of years.
"Actually, after I became the Holy Son of Buddhism, that family came to see me."
Fo Jiang paused and added another sentence.
"They want to use my power to save people."
His words attracted Jiang Jiu's attention again. She looked at Fo Jiang and was about to say, "Why save them? Just ignore them," but the next second she heard Fo Jiang say.
"Buddha will not watch people die. I saved them, and my heart remained calm. I had no resentment or hatred towards them, no love or hurt. From that moment on, I truly had enlightenment."
Fo Jiang narrated his mental journey, which fascinated Jiang Jiu.
He has this kind of charm that makes people feel that everything can be let go, just like him.
Or maybe she is too petty, vindictive, and not broad-minded enough.
"Okay... you're the better one, I'm the bad guy."
Jiang Jiu sighed. Compared to this, she seemed petty.
"No, you are a normal person. I understand your thoughts. You are so angry because of me. You are not wrong."
However, Fo Jiang corrected Jiang Jiu's idea seriously.
In an instant, Jiang Jiu felt as if there were only Fo Jiang and her in the whole world. She had underestimated Fo Jiang's love for her.
"good."
Finally, Jiang Jiu smiled gently, hugged the man's neck and kissed him gently.
The lights in the living room dimmed tactfully. No one would be coming back today, so the rest of the time belonged to them.
Spring goes and autumn comes, spring comes and flowers bloom.
Year after year, they will stay by each other's side and neither of them will leave.
All the setbacks become eternal at this moment.
