They even started looking for a suitable temple, and after hearing about Lianhua Temple here, they felt it was a good fit and came to visit.
This is why Lu Peiran came to their temple. The family members who followed him were also there because they thought that since Princess Chaoyang had given up, Lu Peiran no longer needed to become a monk, and they came to call him home.
Liao Wu looked at Lu Peiran thoughtfully, a hint of curiosity rising in her heart.
This person is really interesting...
Faced with the earnest advice of his family, Lu Peiran calmly knelt down before the Buddha.
"Gentlemen, since I have already told His Majesty that I want to become a monk, then of course it cannot be changed."
Even if Princess Chaoyang stops bothering me now, I can't just go back with you like this.
I know you mean well, but I genuinely feel that becoming a monk would be quite good, so you should go back.
The Lu family tried to persuade him for a long time, but seeing that he still had no intention of going back with them, they left in disappointment.
After the Lu family left, there was no obvious sense that the young master named Lu Peiran seemed to have relaxed a lot.
After their master repeatedly questioned them, they finally confirmed Lu Peiran's feelings and agreed to his request.
Early the next morning, the master prepared for the tonsure ceremony. Surrounded by the chanting of sutras by Liao Wu and his fellow disciples, the master picked up a razor and cut off the first lock of his long hair...
Before long, Lu Peiran's long hair had all fallen to the ground...
Looking at his bald head, which was now exactly like her own, Liao Wu gently pursed the corners of his mouth...
This person looks good even with a bald head...
After the tonsure ceremony was completed, Lu Peiran officially became a member of their Lianhua Temple.
While his master was racking his brains to come up with a Buddhist name for him, Lu Peiran spoke up himself, "Master, I'd like to call myself Kong, is that alright?"
The master was stunned. He had taken in so many disciples, but this was the first time a disciple had wanted to give himself a Buddhist name!
But the master did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
From this moment on, the world lost a young master named Lu Peiran and gained a young monk with the Buddhist name Liaokong...
Liao Kong was very intelligent. Not long after joining the temple, he had already read through all the numerous Buddhist scriptures in the temple.
Moreover, he didn't just read it once; when his master asked questions, he could always offer his own unique insights.
Amidst his master's constant exclamations, Liao Wu realized something: this junior brother seemed to be really amazing!
However, even so, Liao Wu never took the initiative to speak to this junior brother.
To be precise, since Junior Brother Liaokong joined the temple, the two of them have never spoken a word to each other.
Until one day, the master took all his fellow disciples down the mountain to beg for alms, leaving only the two of them to guard the temple.
As on any other day, Liao Wu knelt before the Buddha, devoutly doing his studies.
Suddenly, he heard a teasing voice from beside him, "Senior Brother Liaowu, Master isn't even here, why are you still so serious?"
He opened his eyes without any surprise, "Junior brother?"
Liao Kong rested his chin on his hand, sat down next to him and looked at him with a smile, "It's me. Who else could be in the temple besides the two of us now!"
That's why I was curious, senior brother, why are you working so hard? Master can't see us."
This was the first time Liao Wu had spoken to this junior brother, and he was slightly awkward. Upon hearing this, he simply said in a low voice, "Junior brother, you're wrong."
Hearing Wu's words and seeing the expression on his face, Liao Kong raised an eyebrow slightly and then laughed out loud...
