A fierce glint flashed across Bai Zhenzhen's face: "Fine, you stinking monk, not only did you meddle in my business, but you also dared to take my sister in. I'm going to teach you a lesson today."
"How arrogant." Fahai merely snorted, not taking Bai Zhenzhen's provocation seriously.
Xu Xian, mustering his courage, also stood by and challenged Fahai: "Demon—monster! With Master Fahai here, you must not be so arrogant!"
Bai Zhenzhen glanced at Xu Xian with a resentful look, clasped her hands together, twisted her slender waist, and a long tail lashed out at Fahai.
"Ah! Snake—snake—" Xu Xian was so frightened by Bai Zhenzhen's true form that he fainted.
In the Legend of the White Snake, they were a married couple sharing a bed during the Dragon Boat Festival. Xu Xian was terrified by Bai Suzhen. Now that they are not familiar with each other and have no feelings for each other, Xu Xian's fear has indeed lessened a lot.
"I thought you were something special, but it turns out you're just like this little guy, a snake!" Fahai said, glancing at Lu Qingyan in the alms bowl.
Lu Qingyan: So what if it's a snake? It's not like I wanted to become a snake.
Bai Zhenzhen was extremely worried. Xiaoqing had been captured by the monk, the man she had her eye on had fainted from fright, and she had fought Fahai for thousands of rounds but hadn't gained any advantage.
"You stinking monk, just you wait! I'll come back to settle accounts with you one day." Bai Zhenzhen said this harshly and disappeared in a flash of white light.
Lu Qingyan: Sister, wait for me! What happened to our sisterly bond and unwavering loyalty? You just left me all alone like this!
As Lu Qingyan was thinking this, Bai Zhenzhen's ethereal voice came from the sky: "Xiao Qing, don't worry, I will definitely come back to rescue you."
Lu Qingyan had given up struggling. Regardless of what Bai Zhenzhen thought, Lu Qingyan felt incredibly comfortable staying in the alms bowl, bathed in the Buddha's light.
I can't take it anymore, I need to get some sleep.
Fahai looked at Lu Qingyan, who was curled up in the alms bowl and fast asleep, and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "I haven't seen her for so many years, I didn't expect this little one to be so lazy."
Seeing that Xu Xian was still lying there, Fahai went over and took his pulse, and a beam of Buddhist light entered Xu Xian's body.
A flash of golden light, and Xu Xian slowly awoke: "Master, Master—thank you for saving my life!" Xu Xian knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly, "If it weren't for your rescue today, I would have fallen into the hands of a demon long ago. Master, if you don't mind, could you come to my home and let me treat you well?"
Fahai said "Amitabha" and refused, saying, "Benefactor Xu, there is no need for this. Monks are compassionate. Since I practice Buddhism, I should eliminate demons and save all sentient beings."
“But Master, the kindness of saving my life is greater than heaven, and I cannot be ungrateful,” Xu Xian insisted.
“I know that you, Benefactor Xu, are also a medical student. You may become a renowned figure by practicing medicine and helping others. You are saving people, and I am saving people. We are both just doing our duty. Why should we need anyone else to repay us?” Fahai said, walking away step by step with his staff. Before Xu Xian could say anything more, he had already disappeared in front of him.
Watching Fahai's disappearing figure, Xu Xian sighed inwardly, "Master Fahai is indeed a highly respected figure. I must personally visit him at Jinshan Temple another day."
Young man, is the phrase "of high moral character and great prestige" used here?
When Fahai reappeared, he was already at Jinshan Temple. He had been a monk for many years and had achieved great success in Buddhist practice. He had lived for nearly 500 years and still looked like a young man, but everyone at Jinshan Temple called him Grandmaster Uncle.
