Chapter 513 Extra: Nothingness Left (Part 1)
He has been in the temple since he can remember, and his daily work is to pray devoutly in front of the Buddha.
Apart from that, there are no other forms of entertainment.
In his spare time, he would play a little tune on his bamboo flute, accompanied by the chirping of birds; that was when he felt most relaxed.
At this time of year, not only the birds on the mountain, but also some deer and rabbits in the forest will come to join in the fun.
Every time they saw this scene, their master and fellow disciples would be amazed and show him even more respect.
The reason he stayed at the temple was quite simple.
He was abandoned by his parents at the foot of the mountain. When they abandoned him, he was naked and had nothing to give as a token of their love.
The master took him in and named him Liaowu, because he came without a trace and he would leave without a trace...
His master often said to him with a sigh that he was a Buddhist disciple born to be a great monk. He had no complicated worldly ties, only a profound Buddhist affinity from birth.
In everyone's eyes, he would eventually have to leave this small temple, because such a small temple was not his final destination.
What he wants to do is conquer the world!
He was able to bring a touch of fatherly love to this scarred world...
Therefore, not only his fellow disciples, but even his master respected him greatly from a young age and never mistreated him.
I... have never been close to him...
But it is precisely because of this that he has always believed that this is how people should interact in this world.
Until one day, he came...
When he was almost twenty, a handsome young man came to the temple.
The young master had an extraordinary air about him, dressed in expensive silk, and had a ring-shaped jade pendant around his waist that looked quite valuable.
The temple was located deep in the mountains, and such people rarely appeared there. Therefore, even Liao Wu couldn't help but take a second look.
As soon as the young master entered, he completely ignored their gazes and looked straight in the direction of Buddha.
Judging from his appearance, the master assumed he had come to offer incense and went up to ask him questions.
To the master's surprise, the young man hadn't come to offer incense; he wanted to be ordained as a monk.
Everyone was surprised to hear the young master's request, and even the master did not agree.
Even someone as detached from worldly affairs as Liao Wu could tell that the young master was definitely of extraordinary birth.
Why would someone like that suddenly want to become a monk? And why would they come to such a small temple?
Despite his master's tactful refusal, the young master remained extremely insistent.
He claimed that he had no relatives or friends left in the world and had no other thoughts, which was why he chose to become a monk.
But before he could finish speaking, Liao Wu watched helplessly as a large group of people ran into the temple.
These people were clearly his family members, because their features were very similar, and they were all calling out his name.
It was at that time that Liao Wu learned his name.
His name is very nice, Lu Peiran...
Amidst the argument between Lu Peiran and his family, Liao Wu and his master finally pieced together a general picture of the situation.
The Lu family is a large, long-standing clan with a strong sense of lineage.
Strict requirements were placed not only on the management and handling of clan affairs, but also on the marriages of children and grandchildren.
