41. Buddha's Son
The handsome little monk, wearing a white monk's robe, stood in the moonlight, neither happy nor sad, with the appearance of a Buddha.
The young monk looked at Chen Ji and said, "My name is Luo Zhui Sakya, but everyone likes to call me the young monk. You can also call me the young monk."
Princess Baili leaned on the wall, looked at Chen Ji and introduced him, "The little monk is a reincarnated Buddha, very powerful! He said you are very powerful, so you must be very powerful!"
Chen Ji hesitated for a moment: "Is it so difficult for a reincarnated Buddhist disciple to climb over a wall?"
The young monk was a little embarrassed: "I haven't achieved it yet. My master told me to recite the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra 100,000 times. I have only recited it for a little over 70,000 times, and my great wish has not yet been fulfilled..."
Chen Ji pondered, the little monk's words revealed a lot of information: the other party's way of practice was to chant scriptures and fulfill his ambitions. Chanting one hundred thousand times was a hurdle, and after chanting one hundred thousand times, he should become stronger.
The other party was quite frank in telling us his own way of cultivation.
At this moment, the prince looked at Chen Ji curiously: "Little monk, do you think he is very powerful? He doesn't look like it."
The prince no longer wore the sable fur coat he wore during the day, but changed into a black cross-collared long-collared coat with silver lotus embroidered on the fabric. It looked somewhat simple and elegant, but it did not suit the prince, who was a bit ostentatious.
The young monk brushed the dust off his robes. His face, clear and bright, looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. He pointed to his heart and said, "When I say powerful, I'm not referring to my physical strength, but to my heart. Everyone has three thieves in their hearts: greed, anger, and ignorance. But this young man has lost his greed and anger, leaving only ignorance. He's already very powerful."
"Greed is an unbearable desire. Countless disasters in this world are caused by greed. Not being greedy does not mean not loving money, but knowing how to restrain yourself."
"Anger is unwise anger. If a person still has anger, he cannot be called a wise person, because anger clouds the mind."
Chen Ji thought thoughtfully: "So stupid?"
The little monk laughed and said, "Delusion is obsession. Once you have obsession, you cannot be free."
Princess Baili was riding on the top of the wall, dressed neatly like a man, with a white gown, white pants, white boots, and a white jade hairpin. The only thing she wore was a red jade pendant, like the red on the forehead of a white koi.
She propped up her chin and asked curiously, "Little monk, you speak so mysteriously, how many thieves have you killed yourself?"
The young monk thought for a moment and said, "I am the same.
Only one word remains: stupidity."
Princess Baili asked, "Why didn't you cut out the last character 'Chi'?"
"It's not that I won't cut it off, but that I don't have it," the young monk explained. "I still don't have 'idiocy', so I can't cut it off. My master sent me to the Central Plains so that I could find 'idiocy' and then cut it off. I haven't found it yet, and I don't know what 'idiocy' is, but my master said that when I encounter it, I will know it naturally."
"Eh, I haven't heard you say that before...but wouldn't it be better without '痴'? What are you still looking for? Isn't that a waste of time?" Bai Li was puzzled.
The young monk shook his head: "This is a calamity. Without going through this calamity, one cannot become a Buddha."
The prince leaned against the wall, bored. "You monks are supposed to be compassionate, but why are you always beating and killing? It's not good to fight and kill!"
The young monk shook his head: "My Gening sect never talks about mercy."
"Oh? Then what are you talking about?"
"Fearless."
Princess Baili rode on the wall, crossed her legs and sat sideways: "Brother, stop talking and pick me up."
"Hey, here I come," the prince came to the wall and let his sister step on his shoulders and jump over the wall.
Chen Ji watched silently. The prince and Princess Baili did not have the same biological mother, but their relationship was ridiculously good.
And this prince, even though he's already twenty years old, still hasn't formed a proper figure...
Wait, Wuyun said that there should be a Princess Lingyun born to Concubine Jing in the palace. Why is she not seen with them?
At this time, the prince looked at Chen Ji: "This..."
"Chen Ji."
The prince laughed and said, "Chen Ji, I think you are also a handsome man. We will definitely become good friends in the future. But there is no time to chat today. There are still many friends waiting at the door. Let's go first. We are all children of the rivers and lakes. See you again if we are lucky enough!"
Zhu Baili also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll bring you some Ma's donkey meat hotpot when I come back in the morning!"
As he spoke, the prince led the little monk and County Master Baili away.
Chen Ji raised his arm to block the way: "Wait a moment."
"Ah?" The prince took a step back: "What?"
Chen Ji said, "As for the hush money, I will give you ten taels of silver per person, or I will call the palace guards."
The prince screamed: "Wow, do you think we don't know?
You know the prices outside, right? Ten taels of silver can buy a house in the suburbs. Why don't you go and rob... Little monk, didn't you say that he has cut off the word "greed"?!
The young monk hesitated for a moment and said, "This shows that he has been very restrained."
Prince: “?”
Princess Baili looked at Chen Ji and said, "One tael of silver each time. We will have many more in the future. You have to pay attention to the long-term, otherwise I will not pay you back in the future!"
Chen Ji: “Okay!”
Bai Li looked at the prince helplessly: "Brother, he agreed so quickly, did I cut too little?"
“It seems so.”
Chen Ji said, "One person, one time, one tael. Since there are three of you this time, you have to pay three taels."
At this moment, someone outside the door called out through the crack in the door: "Prince, Princess, are you coming out?"
The prince looked at Princess Baili and said, "Give us the money. The people outside can't wait any longer."
Zhu Baili reluctantly pulled out a small plain sachet from his sleeve, took out three silver peanuts from it, and patted them into Chen Ji's palm: "Here you go! Can we go now?"
Chen Ji made way and said with a smile, "Thank you for your patronage. I wish you all a happy evening."
The prince hurriedly ran to open the main hall door, but saw more than ten people waiting outside, with swords and knives on their waists, looking like people from the martial arts world.
Chen Ji also saw Liang Gou'er and Liang Mao'er in the crowd.
The prince asked at the door: "Where are we going to play?"
But then Liang Gou'er smiled and said, "There's only one lively place in Luocheng at night, and that's the East Market. And the most fun place in the East Market is definitely Red Clothes Lane! Come on, Prince, take us to Red Clothes Lane for a drink!"
Chen Ji was shocked.
Princess and monk, going to Red Lane?!
At this time, Princess Baili was carefully closing the door of the clinic. When there was still a gap, she saw Chen Ji looking at her from afar, so she frowned and snorted coldly, then quickly closed the door.
Chen Ji weighed the silver peanuts in his hand. Wuyun climbed up the apricot tree and lay on the branch with his two claws tucked into his pockets.
Wuyun meowed, "They're pretty good people."
Chen Ji smiled and said, "As a prince and a princess, you didn't get angry when I blocked your way. You never used your status to pressure others. You are indeed very good people."
