Chapter 262: So Pure, So Proud
De Zhao was slapped by Gu Nan, and his whole body trembled, tears streaming down his face, "Master Gu Nan! You are not dead..."
Gu Nanbangbang just threw two punches, "How could I die? Haven't you learned this skill for thousands of years?"
Dezhao wiped his tears with his sleeves, "I haven't learned it. I've only learned the Lankavatara Sutra and the Diamond Sutra."
The other two young monks nodded repeatedly with tears in their eyes.
God knows their hearts were pounding when they saw Chunyi angrily holding Gu Nan in his hands, looking like he wanted to eat him.
There were at least hundreds of demons and ghosts that died at Chunyi's hands, not to mention that they had never seen Chunyi lose his composure like that before. Gu Nan was going to be beaten to death!
Even the mantra for rebirth was recited, and she actually survived!
Namo Amitabha!
Gu Nan caressed the three bald heads lovingly and said, "I'm going to go down the mountain to travel. I'd like you to take care of the two children while I'm away."
Dezhao nodded subconsciously, then suddenly looked up, "Traveling?"
Gu Nan: "Yes, thank you for speaking to Master Chunyi on my behalf. He has agreed to let me go and travel. I will be back before the winter solstice and will bring you gifts."
The reversal happened too quickly. Gu Nan not only escaped but also regained his freedom. Tears hung on his cheeks. De Zhao scratched his sleeve and muttered softly: "You said you would give us candy yesterday."
Gu Nan smiled and said, "I'll go down the mountain to buy you some candy later."
De Zhao felt awkward, but the other two little monks burst into laughter and surrounded her, saying that it would be even better if they had some cakes to eat.
Gu Nan looked back and saw Chunyi standing in the corridor looking at them. His blue-gray monk robe fluttered in the March spring breeze, and he stood tall and straight, with the demeanor of a dragon and a phoenix.
He said he was indulgent, but his actions were still cautious.
However, Gu Nan was open and honest, so there was nothing wrong with him knowing. He asked directly, "I have a question for you. What year is it? Which emperor is on the throne?"
The original owner had been dead for so many years that he could no longer remember the dynasty and year. The so-called Thousand-Year Ghost King Pass was just a premonition, and he didn't know when it would come.
The historical process of this era is slightly different from reality, and Gu Nan needs an exact time to judge how old Chunyi is.
The young novices were unfazed by this simple question and rushed to answer, "In the thirteenth year of Jingzhao, the present Emperor Daoning has said that our Dajing has enjoyed good weather, low taxes, and a harmonious and peaceful life. Many foreigners want to move to Dajing to live."
Gu Nan went through a few more rounds and finally found a familiar emperor's name. After deducing the past and the future, he determined that this was more than two hundred years before her death.
Junyi lived for more than two hundred years!
Still traveling around!
Still strong despite being old!
Gu Nan was very excited and full of expectations for the future.
Being a centenarian may be achieved through genes, but being a 200-year-old immortal is just a matter of fate.
Good Chunyi, you are really good!
Gu Nan suddenly became extremely passionate and wanted to immediately use the time magic to help Chunyi become an immortal. What was the point of traveling or taking a vacation? It was so useless!
"Donor Gu Nan, Donor..."
Gu Nan regained consciousness and faced the three pairs of inquiring eyes. He suppressed his joy and excitement and said, "Listen carefully to Master Chunyi's teachings. I'll go down the mountain to buy you some candy."
Gu Nanqi floated out of the courtyard wall and couldn't help but smile brightly.
The cold and gloomy wind stirred up the thin haze in the mountains and forests, as if it had dispelled the thick clouds.
The sky is blue, the grass is green, the clouds are thousands of miles high, and the joy of the New Year blends with the lush vitality, creating a beautiful scene to celebrate her rebirth in advance.
When she turned around, she saw Chunyi standing at the entrance of the corridor, looking at her from afar. He was tall and graceful, solemn and majestic, like a golden statue in the temple, overlooking the suffering of all living beings.
Purity can lead to the great way and bring blessings to the world.
Everyone is happy that she is alive.
It is hard to find such a best of both worlds in this world.

Gu Nan rushed out of Fajue Temple and bumped into Jiang Wanying who was lingering outside the temple.
After a brief chat, the two sisters went into the mountains hand in hand to hunt and pick bamboo shoots.
After a little magic, he reaped a rich harvest. He took the money to a nearby town and exchanged it for silver. He bought candy for the novice monk and clothes and shoes for the two children. When he returned to the temple, his bags were bulging with money.
The Dharma Assembly held by Chunyi and the old abbot has not yet ended. The altar is filled with monks inside and outside. The hall is filled with smoke and is quiet and grand.
Gu Nan held the package and took a look from afar, wanting to go and listen to the Dharma.
When time has a scale, she wants to calibrate the position of this moment in the long river.
During this period in history, Western countries were experiencing the outbreak of an economic crisis, oppressed workers gathered in uprising, doctrines about the liberation of the proletariat and all mankind were born, the struggle between romantic literature, music and realistic literature began, and the Second Industrial Revolution was in full swing.
But at this moment, this peaceful paradise is still immersed in magnificent myths and the vast universe, and believes in the practice of leaving the mundane world and becoming a god or saint.
In just two hundred years, how did this mythical world where ghosts and monks coexisted become the strange cyber world of later generations?
She was curious and looking forward to how a Buddhist disciple with such a natural beauty like Chunyi would face the rolling wheel of time, and whether his Buddha could give him the right guidance in a few years.
Chunyi seemed to have sensed something, and his deep gaze passed over the contemplative monks and fell on Gu Nan outside the courtyard.
She was wearing a gray coarse cloth shorts with a headband hanging from her bun. She was also looking at him, but her eyes were unfocused. She looked dazed and silly while holding the bulging package.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the golden light of merit on Gu Nan's body seemed to be deeper than when he first saw him.
It was the first time he encountered such a strange and evil ghost. The ghost was not afraid of the magic seal and could hear the Buddhist verses and Zen sounds. It was clearly full of resentment, but it was suppressed by all the merits.
The strangest thing is that she is an indispensable part of his magic tribulation.
"Clinging to the formless, sinking into emptiness and abandoning existence, all dharmas are extinguished and no longer used..."
The nature of all dharmas is emptiness, and emptiness is permanence.
The true nature of the Dharma, whether observed or not, is both born and destroyed.
Chunyi lowered his brows and eyes, and the corners of his flamboyant eyes drooped slightly, revealing both majesty and compassion.
Gu Nan didn't interrupt their discussion and returned to the backyard with the package.
Niuniu was washing diapers by the well. When she heard Gu Nan's movement, she immediately threw away her soap and ran to Gu Nan, calling out crisply, "Sister Anan, you're back."
"Yes, I bought clothes for you. Try them on to see if they fit you." Gu Nan threw the things on the stone table, took out the clothes and compared them. They were a little big, but the weather was warmer, so he rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and wore them casually.
Clothes are very expensive these days. After careful budgeting, Gu Nan only managed to get one set for each of his two children.
"Just wear it for now. I'll ask someone to bring you two nicer clothes later."
Niuniu was looking at the new clothes happily, but when she heard Gu Nan say this, she reacted for a moment before saying, "Sister, are you leaving here?"
Gu Nan touched her face and said, "Well, I'll be away for a while. I'll have to ask you to take care of your sister."
