Chapter 455 One Flower, One World
Master Xingyun's visit must mean something important.
Although Shen Huaichen also wanted to hear what the famous Master Xingyun had to say, he decided against it because of his identity, which he couldn't reveal.
"Now that you've seen it, you can ask if we can go back," Shen Huaichen instructed Shangguan Jin.
Shangguan Jin nodded, but still asked a question.
"What? Is there someone you can't let go of over there?"
Shen Huaichen...
"Of course! My parents, and all their assets."
If I'm gone, who will inherit all that property? It would be better if it were all donated.
What if those heartless Eighth Route Army relatives come to our door?
So, if you can go back, you should!
After all, we've done everything we were supposed to do here!
"It seems like we're not needed here anymore!" Shen Huaichen said.
Shangguan Jin thought about it and felt that it would be good if she could go back.
At least she has a large apartment there, a luxury car, and savings...
It would be a bit of a shame if we couldn't go back...
"I'll definitely ask him carefully! If possible, I'll see what kind of opportunity is needed."
But if it requires the alignment of nine stars or something, then forget it.
"Those opportunities are too rare." Shangguan Jin agreed.
And so, Shangguan Jin took Dongmai to Bao'en Temple.
Master Xingyun, who had suddenly emerged from seclusion, greeted Shangguan Jin with a smile.
"Madam looks very well lately! She should have no worries!" Master Xingyun personally brewed tea for Shangguan Jin.
This made Shangguan Jin feel flattered!
She quickly got up, put her hands together in gratitude to Master Xingyun.
Master Xingyun smiled and sat down on the futon.
Shangguan Jin took a closer look and noticed that Master Xingyun seemed to have aged a bit more than before...
"Master, is there something important you have to say to your followers?" Shangguan Jin asked.
"There's nothing else, it's just that this old monk's days are numbered, and I think that by the time Madam Shen returns, I will have already passed away."
"I just want to talk to Madam Shen," Master Xingyun said frankly.
Shangguan Jin felt a chill run down her spine.
Master Xingyun's days are numbered...
"Master, you are a person with an affinity for Buddhism, you should..."
“Madam Shen, a monk does not lie. I know in my heart when it is time for me to leave,” Master Xingyun interrupted Shangguan Jin.
Shangguan Jin was at a loss for words.
Master Xingyun held his prayer beads in his hand and sighed softly.
"Madam Shen, do temples like ours exist in your world?" Master Xingyun suddenly asked.
Shangguan Jin nodded.
“Master, yes! The incense offerings are quite good,” Shangguan Jin said.
Master Xingyun smiled and then muttered to himself.
"So there are temples there too! So the people there also have many questions they can't figure out!"
This old monk always believed that the people of that world were omnipotent.
"Master, no matter where you are from, no one is omnipotent."
"That which is omnipotent is called God, and it does not exist among us," Shangguan Jin said solemnly.
Master Xingyun kept turning his prayer beads.
He smiled after a long while.
"It is this old monk who cannot understand! I have spent my whole life with Buddhism, yet I still cannot comprehend these things."
"This old monk's cultivation is still insufficient!"
Shangguan Jin dared not speak.
This old monk seems to have some connections; it's best not to say too much...
"Madam Shen, do you have any questions for this old monk?" Master Xingyun suddenly asked again.
“Me? There really is one!” Shangguan Jin, who was kneeling on the prayer mat, sat up straight immediately.
"Master, I want to ask, can I... go back?" Shangguan Jin asked softly.
Master Xingyun narrowed his eyes.
go back?
That world is definitely more appealing!
A hundred years ago, the empress, whom the founding emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty called the most extraordinary woman in the world, also longed to return home in the end...
"A flower is a world! A tree is a fleeting life! A blade of grass is a paradise! A leaf is a Buddha..."
Master Xingyun talked a lot.
But Shangguan Jin only remembered these four lines.
"Madam Shen, perhaps this is all just a dream! It happened in an instant."
Perhaps, when you wake up tomorrow, you'll still be in this world!
Perhaps, when you wake up tomorrow, it will be the same world you were in before!
Anything is possible!
Where your heart is, there your shadow will be.
The dream of wealth and glory will eventually end; without roots or limits, we all return to dust!
Where does the golden dragon fly to in the sky? It's better to be a true immortal in the mortal world!
Just let things take their natural course!
Madam Shen! On behalf of the two wandering souls, this old monk thanks you!
Sorry to bother you!
We come from somewhere, and we go somewhere! Everything is preordained!
This applies to everything!
After Master Xingyun finished speaking, he got up and went back to his seclusion!
Shangguan Jin...
What did Master Xingyun just say? He thanked them on behalf of the two wandering spirits...
