What a lucky world!

Chapter 60 Xuan Ji's Past

Xuan Ji turned into a ball of black smoke, dispersed from Zhang Mu's hand, and then condensed into a new shape next to him.

"I'm the master, meow." Xuan Ji said, tilting her head. "I have the right to keep my secrets."

Zhang Mu chuckled. "So you should have told me that there's no servant in the world who doesn't know the identity of his master, right?"

Xuan Ji blinked a few times: "That seems to make sense, meow."

Xuan Ji walked back and forth a few steps and finally sat in front of Zhang Mu.

"Since you've asked sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you..."

Zhang Mu quickly sat up straight and echoed, "I'm all ears."

Xuan Ji was very satisfied with Zhang Mu's attitude. Although there was no change on her face, her cat tail was shaking behind her as if dancing.

"It's nothing, meow..."

"I don't remember the time, but I remember that time, I seemed to be about to die..."

……

Many years ago, on a rainy night.

With a "bang", a black cat fell straight to the ground.

A sturdy man, holding a wooden stick with blood on one end, cursed, "It's been yelling all day, it's so noisy! Now it's finally quiet."

The man kicked the black cat's corpse again and left with satisfaction.

Not long after, a little kitten the size of a palm crawled out from a crack in the wall by the roadside. It walked cautiously to the black cat's body, nudged the black cat's face with its nose, and called out softly twice, but received no response.

The kitten ran under the black cat's body again, wanting to drink milk, but after sucking for a long time, it got nothing.

The kitten sat down beside the black cat's body again and cried desperately, but its voice was too small and was easily drowned out by the sound of the rain dripping on the ground.

It cried like this for a while, then its body tilted and fell beside the black cat's body.

……

The little kitten opened his eyes again and found himself in a man's arms.

The sunlight was glaring, and the sunlight reflected from the man's bald head was even glaring.

It wanted to cry out, but it had no strength. At this time, the man dipped the porridge with a reed and fed it into its mouth drop by drop.

The little kitten, having eaten and drunk its fill, felt the man's body temperature and seemed to have found a safe haven. It stretched out its four paws, opened its mouth, and then fell into a deep sleep.

……

The days passed by.

The little kitten grew up a little and turned into a little black cat.

It learned to catch mice and chase butterflies without any instruction.

When the monk chants, it nestles in the monk's arms.

When the monks eat, it eats with them.

When the monk sleeps, it lies on his chest.

Every time the monk saw it, he would smile, and it was a warm smile.

……

The monk's temple is becoming more and more lively.

Many people came to the monk for treatment. The monk was very good at it. He could tell what the problem was with the patient right away and then cure him.

But then, some annoying people came.

Some women.

These women were not sick at all; they wanted the monks to touch their breasts and eat their mouths.

Is the mouth so delicious?
The little black cat thought that next time it would also want to taste the monk's mouth.

……

The days are fulfilling and ordinary.

Today the monk saved another person, who was a mute.

The mute came to see the monk, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, until his head was broken.

Then, the mute lived in the temple and took charge of various trivial matters.

The monk spent much more time with the little black cat.

……

Changes in life are always unexpected.

The same Buddhist temple, the same morning, the same sunshine.

The monk was still beating the wooden fish and chanting scriptures in front of the Buddha statue, and the little black cat continued to sleep in the monk's arms as usual.

But on this day, the scriptures from the monk's mouth were like little bugs, lining up one by one and drilling into the little black cat's ears.

The little black cat had a dream.

It dreamed that the Buddha statue in the temple came to life.

The Buddha statue turned into the appearance of a monk, radiating golden light all over.

He asked the little black cat: What is your biggest wish?
The little black cat thought for a moment and decided that she wanted to live longer. She knew her life span was short, not as long as the monk's. She wanted to live longer so she could play with the monk for a longer time.

The Buddha statue asked it again: What is she willing to do to fulfill this wish?

The little black cat thought carefully about what she would do.

The Buddha statue asked it, and it said it couldn't brag.

Unfortunately, the little black cat found that he only knew how to eat, sleep and catch mice.

If it tries to catch a butterfly, it won't be able to catch it.

So the little black cat said: I am willing to catch mice!

Then the little black cat woke up.

When I woke up, it was still the same Buddhist temple and the same ray of sunshine.

She was still in the monk's arms, and the monk was still chanting.

But it seemed that her mind was much clearer, and she understood many things that were originally confusing to her.

She raised her head and looked at the monk who was chanting with his eyes closed. She saw his lips moving quickly. She didn't know why, but he opened his mouth and spoke the first human words in his life -

"Monk, come and have a bite, meow..."

……

Xuan Ji recalled her past in her mind, and then selectively picked out some key points to tell Zhang Mu.

"Enlightenment? Making a vow?" Zhang Mu looked at Xuan Ji in surprise.

Xuan Ji nodded: "So, I didn't become a demon because of my bloodline awakening, I gained enlightenment through the Dharma."

"According to the monk, my situation is very rare. I'm not a demon, but a guardian beast of Buddhism."

Zhang Mu asked curiously, "What have you learned about Buddhism?"

"How should I know, meow?" Xuan Ji shook her head. "I just had a dream, and then this happened..."

Zhang Mu slapped his forehead. "What about making a vow? What's that all about?"

Xuan Ji scratched her ear and said, "Are you stupid?"

"I'm not a demon. I can't absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or refine the essence of the sun and the moon."

“Making a vow is practicing.”

"How could I have known that my wish was to catch mice."

"Every time I catch a mouse, I gain a little more strength."

"So I'm catching mice every night!"

"I'm so tired, meow."

Zhang Mu was stunned, then burst into laughter.

No wonder this cat usually looks so busy.

It turns out there are KPIs!

"No, isn't this how Buddhists practice?" Zhang Mu asked curiously. He felt that in this case, talent didn't seem to be important.

Xuan Ji shook her head: "You wish."

“Only those who have suddenly realized the Dharma are qualified to make a vow and practice…”

Zhang Mu nodded after hearing this.

This makes sense, otherwise Buddhism would be too buggy.

"By the way, do you want to take that old man as your master?" After finishing her own affairs, Xuan Ji asked Zhang Mu again.

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and asked Xuan Ji, "What do you think?"

"I think..." Xuan Ji thought seriously, "If a fish is delivered to your door, it would be a waste not to eat it, meow..."

Zhang Mu smiled and shook his head.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Xuan Ji asked when she saw this.

Zhang Mu sighed lightly.

I want to eat.

But do you really think he is a fool?

A master in the Yangye Realm who can almost conquer the entire Wan'an County, comes to your door to tell you so much, and also gives you the option of being a registered disciple, which is obviously a benefit for Zhang Mu.

Do you really think you are the protagonist and the other party is the old man of destiny?
He is a master from Qianyuan Wuzhai!

If Zhang Mu was thinking of taking advantage, he would definitely not survive more than three chapters.

Therefore, he had to confirm his thoughts.

If you want to pay homage, whether it is in person or by name, you must treat it with sincerity and be sincere.

As the old saying goes: There are thousands of tricks, but none of them is as good as sincere comfort.

He really needed some time to clear his mind and think carefully about this invitation.
