The moon shone brightly, stars twinkled sparsely, and all was silent.

The street district just east of Jiang Hai University was deserted. Under the night, there were few pedestrians or vehicles passing by. 。The dim streetlights on both sides of the lane cast their light across the ground, also reflecting a lone figure walking in the road. 。This was a monk, wearing a blue robe. He had the appearance of Buddhahood, but his eyebrows were already gray, indicating he was well past sixty. 。The Qingyi monk walked alone, his hands clasped in prayer, like a devout ascetic. His expression was solemn yet radiated compassion and benevolence, giving him the air of a high-ranking enlightened master. 。

"Venerable Monk, since you've come, why do you need to leave"

At this moment, a slow and languid voice came from behind the Clad-in-Green monk. Following closely was Old Ye, holding a dry tobacco pipe in one hand and a wine gourd in the other, appearing beside the Clad-in-Green monk.

The Qingyi monk immediately stopped, turned to Ye Lao Tou, folded his hands together, and bowed, saying, "Come if you will, go if you must. There is no cause and effect." 。Ku Zhu had met the young master uncle. 。"Stop, stop, stop," the old man Ye waved his hands hastily. "Don't call me that. I'm about your age! Calling me 'senior master' makes me sound ancient, doesn't it You monks are supposed to speak truthfully. Why do I feel like you're being quite petty, old monk"The monk in blue remained unfazed. He clasped his hands together and continued, "Junior Master was the only disciple of Junior Grandmaster when he was alive." 。In terms of seniority, Kutzuki should call him Junior Uncle. 。Put away your act, I have nothing to do with your Kum Zen Temple. 。“Old Master Ye waved his hand and continued, ‘Since my master left Kechan Temple, he has had no connection with it whatsoever. My master entered the world as a layman, as he put it, to be reborn.’” 。"The young master's wisdom was extraordinary. He cultivated in the hardship of meditation, and his heart yearned for the bamboo that grew from suffering, out of reverence." 。The monk in green robes said solemnly: 。

Ye Laotou chuckled and said, "I'm telling you, Ku He Shang, you spend all day hiding in that temple with only oil lamps for company. What kind of enlightenment can you possibly achieve Back when my master left Ku Chan Temple and entered the human world, he saw the suffering of mankind. He realized that no matter their status or wealth, everyone had their own sea of suffering. Only then did he understand what 'Ku Chan' truly meant.

The flesh endures the tribulations of the mortal world, eventually suffering through bitterness to achieve sweetness, and thus cultivating the Great Diamond Realm. 。"This time you came to me, it's also for this Great Golden Gang Realm, right"

The blue-robed monk clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "I hope that my junior brother will fulfill " 。Ye Laotou gazed at the distant night, slowly saying, “Back then, my master merely took me in and didn't acknowledge me as his disciple. He also didn't let me inherit his mantle of Zen.” 。He said that I'm not pure in my six senses and am not suitable for sudden enlightenment through meditation. 。Therefore, it was only allowing me to cultivate the method of tempering the Great Golden Body. 。As for the profound enlightenment of the Dàjīnggāng realm, I have absolutely no knowledge. 。Perhaps, with his passing, the secrets of Dajingang Realm have also vanished from the world. 。However, he did point out a path. 。Please also instruct me, Junior Uncle. 。The Qingyi monk hurriedly said 。

"He said, 'Only when you let go of the Buddha in your heart can you see the true Buddha in your heart.'"

“Old Man Ye opened his mouth, a pair of turbid old eyes staring at the monk in green.” 。

The Qingyi monk's face changed, and his eyes seemed to have a flash of understanding.

Letting go of the Buddha in your heart, it sounds simple, but how difficult it is to do!

The Qingyi monk had pondered Zen for many years, and the profound meanings of numerous Buddhist scriptures had already formed corresponding Buddhist principles in his mind, akin to having a Buddha always seated within him.

To put down the Buddha in one's heart is equivalent to giving up all the knowledge and insights gained before, starting from scratch. What kind of great determination and perseverance would it take to do so

The Qingyi monk sighed softly in his heart. Not everyone is as gifted and brilliant as the young master. In fact, over the past hundred years at Ku Chan Temple, there might not even be another figure like the young master.

At this moment, Chapter 608: The Monk and the Phoenix Empress (2/2)Old Man Ye's eyes suddenly darted to the side, saying, "Since you're here, why not show yourself"As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure emerged from a corner in the street area. She was a woman of middle age, her charm still evident. Dressed in purple, she outlined her still-sexy curves. Her hair, styled high, held a phoenix hairpin. Her beautiful face was equally cold and sharp, though there were some streaks of white at the temples. 。Beauty fades, youth is fleeting. 。

This woman in purple is likely from the same era as Old Ye and the green-robed monk, but she still exudes an aura of noble beauty. One can only imagine how stunning she must have been in her youth.

The woman in purple walked forward slowly, her presence radiating an aura of power that made people instinctively want to kneel and worship. 。Seeing this woman in purple, the monk in green moved slightly, clasped his hands together, and said, “So it is the Phoenix Lord who has graced us with her presence." 。The woman in purple also showed respect on her face and said, "I've met Master Zhubu." 。The Qingyi monk continued, "Junior Uncle, Ku Zhu still has important matters to attend to, so I won't stay long. Farewell." 。As he spoke, the Qingyi monk strode forward. In just three or two steps, his figure vanished into the depths of the street swallowed by the endless darkness. 。"Eh I didn't realize, this old man's wine pot is empty... No, this old man needs to go find some wine..." 。"Ye Lao (meaning Old Man Ye) muttered to himself, turning around and trying to slip away." 。The woman in purple moved swiftly, intercepting him like lightning. She said with a hint of annoyance, "You think so little of me, Ye Can't even spare a word before you leave"Ye Lao squinted his old eyes at the woman in purple who still exuded charm. After a long moment, he feigned astonishment and said, "Oh, it's Zi Yi." 。It's been twenty or thirty years since we last saw each other. You still look the same as you did back then. 。Unlike me, I'm already an old man now. 。So you want to run away when you see me Do you think you look like such a wretched old man that you're ashamed to be seen As if I would scorn you. 。 。Ye Laogou let out a bitter smile and said, "You are now the Saint Lord of Zihuang Holy Land. What am I, an old geezer I never felt worthy of you before, and now even less so." 。"As the Saintess of Zihuang Holy Land, the purple-clad woman's eyes flickered with a trace of melancholy. She said, "You still can't forget her"Ye Laotou fell into an unusual silence, took two puffs of his cigarette, and then said, "She has always been in my heart, how could I ever say I forgot""I understand" 。It's rumored in the martial arts world that you appeared in Jiang Hai City. I've come to take a look..." The purple-clad woman, Huangzhu, spoke. 。What's there to see 。An old man can't be content just being old, I must still strive. I am not the handsome and powerful young man who once roamed freely in the ancient martial world. 。"Ye Lao was filled with emotion and then said, 'Now that I'm missing a tooth, seeing you guys makes me afraid to smile, for fear of embarrassment.'" 。So it's better to have the impression of my youthful vigor and strength remain in your heart, rather than meeting now and seeming like strangers. 。"Pfft—"The Phoenix Lord covered her mouth and chuckled, giving Ye Laotou a playful glare. "You're such a rascal even at your age! Always so disrespectful and impudent!" 。This time, with your appearance, many elderly masters who had been in seclusion in the ancient martial arts world have emerged one after another. Over the years, many of these elderly masters have been holding their breath. 。

Ye Laogou let out a cold smile and said, "Those I beat up back then, if they feel itchy and come looking for trouble, I wouldn't mind giving them another beating."

"You still have the same temper as before." 。I'd like to see what level of martial arts prowess you've achieved over these decades. 。“The Phoenix Lord spoke, and with a thought, she caught Ye Lao’s aura fluctuations. Her face changed drastically, and she blurted out in disbelief, “This isn’t right, your martial arts realm…”
