Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 142 Discussion
Looking at the seductive vixen in front of him, Su Mo spoke directly.

"What are you doing!"

Aren't you afraid of me?!

"You won't be begging for mercy then."

After speaking, Su Mo looked at Yu Luo Niang meaningfully, his eyes full of mockery.

It seemed like it was about to pounce on them at any moment.

After Su Mo said that...

Yu Luo Niang immediately thought of the miserable state of Fei Lingxue and the other three.

Her heart skipped a beat.

He quickly turned around.

He dared not say anything more, for fear of igniting Su Mo's anger again.

"My lord, I was wrong..."

"Snapped!"

With a soft crack, Su Mo lashed his whip, causing the Frost Soul Steed's rump to sway wildly.

"okay."

"Run!"

The Frost Soul Steed, in pain, neighed and galloped quickly towards Hangzhou.

Su Mo was due to the simulation.

I was very familiar with the route to Hangzhou and arrived in the city with almost no detours.

Because of his fear of Fahai, Su Mo did not allow Yu Luo Niang to enter the city in human form, but instead had her transform into a white jade spider and crawl into his heart.

The area around the heart and chest is where the righteous energy is strongest.

It can effectively conceal Yu Luo Niang's demonic aura.

That way, Fahai won't find out.

It was already dusk when they entered Hangzhou. After thinking for a while, Su Mo spurred his horse towards the Broken Bridge on West Lake.

I vaguely remember.

In the simulation with Bai Suzhen, his own residence was located there.

I spent three unforgettable years with them.

So he decided to go there and see if it was still the same as in the simulation...

……

When Su Mo arrived at the vermilion gate of the mansion, the plaque above the gate caught his attention.

"The Liu residence?"

Su Mo was a little surprised.

He never expected that he would stumble upon Bai Suzhen's place by sheer chance.

What a coincidence.

Immediately, Su Mo dismounted and prepared to knock on the door.

Before Su Mo could raise his hand, the vermilion gate slowly opened, and Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were standing outside.

When Xiaoqing saw him coming, she couldn't help but tease him.

"My sister said that there were magpies calling on the branches today, which means something good is going to happen."

"I didn't expect it would be you who came."

"Xiao Qing!"

Bai Suzhen's pretty face flushed slightly, and she looked at Su Mo with great surprise.

She originally thought Su Mo wouldn't come.

When do you plan to go to Linjiang City again?

"Give."

Su Mo then took out the jade token.

"I've come here today to repay it."

Bai Suzhen gently shook her head.

“This jade pendant is useless to me, but you may continue to use it, young master.”

"You must be tired after such a long journey, young master."

"Go to the hall and have a cup of tea to relax."

After saying that, Bai Suzhen looked at Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, go and lead Young Master Su's horse to the stable and feed it some fine fodder."

"it is good!"

Xiaoqing listened to Bai Suzhen and led Su Mo's Frost Soul Steed to the stable.

Su Mo followed Bai Suzhen into the living room.

Gazing at the other person's stunningly beautiful back, Su Mo's heart stirred with desire.

Seemingly sensing Su Mo's gaze, Bai Suzhen's delicate neck flushed a thin layer of pink.

of course.

Su Mo wouldn't be so abrupt.

Upon arriving at the reception room, Bai Suzhen personally served Su Mo a cup of tea.

"Young Master Su, come here."

"Thank you."

Sitting next to Su Mo, Bai Suzhen observed her lover whom she had been longing for day and night.

However, she noticed that Su Mo was different from before.

"It seems that Young Master Su's health has improved somewhat after not seeing him for many days."

Su Mo nodded gently.

"His martial arts skills have made a slight breakthrough."

Bai Suzhen pretended to suddenly realize something.

"So it turns out that Young Master Su is also a martial artist."

"Nowadays, there are many martial artists in the Song Dynasty, but very few cultivators."

Hearing Bai Suzhen say that, Su Mo followed suit.

Why are there so few spiritual practitioners left?

Bai Suzhen's tone was helpless.

"In this turbid world, where is there an environment that can provide for spiritual practice?"

"On the contrary, we demons are making rapid progress in our cultivation in this mortal world."

Bai Suzhen revealed her demon identity to Su Mo without any hesitation.

Because in her eyes, Su Mo definitely wouldn't mind.

Just as Bai Suzhen had predicted, Su Mo looked completely bewildered.

"Miss Bai, what kind of demon are you?"

Bai Suzhen smiled.

"How can I tell you that? What if you get scared after I tell you?"

Su Mo, however, seemed completely indifferent.

He came here this time.

He just wanted to confirm his relationship with Bai Suzhen.

This was also to prevent Xu Xian from taking advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, Su Mo stepped forward and grabbed Bai Suzhen's soft hand.

"Miss Bai, you are so beautiful."

"I think your true form must also be very beautiful and lovely."

Seeing Su Mo's bold confession, Bai Suzhen's cheeks flushed red.

Just then, a cough was heard.

"Cough cough."

"Sister, I've fed the horses."

Xiao Qing, dressed in a light blue dress, was standing at the entrance of the reception room, watching Su Mo and Bai Suzhen with great interest.

Upon seeing this, Su Mo quickly withdrew his hand.

Bai Suzhen was somewhat annoyed.

He glared at Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, hurry up and prepare the meal."

Seeing her sister was angry, Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue and walked towards the kitchen.

The atmosphere had been ruined, and Su Mo felt too embarrassed to hold Bai Suzhen's hand again.

Upon seeing this, Bai Suzhen gently stroked her hair.

now.

The two, each with their own thoughts, fell into an unusual silence.

……

Just then, Bai Suzhen's eyes suddenly turned solemn.

Because in her eyes.

A magnificent beam of Buddha's light was hovering at her doorstep.

Bai Suzhen was all too familiar with the owner of this Buddha's light.

It was Fahai from Jinshan Temple!

Bai Suzhen was somewhat angry.

Why did Fahai have to come at this particular time of year?!

Noticing that something was wrong with Bai Suzhen, Su Mo asked her curiously.

"Miss Bai."

"What's wrong."

"Your face suddenly looks so serious."

Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's eyes showed anxiety.

She really wants to leave now.

But Su Lang is here again.

What if I leave a bad impression on Su Lang?
Seeing that Bai Suzhen remained silent, Su Mo was unsure of what she was thinking.

at this time.

Su Mo heard Yu Luo Niang's voice.

"My lord, a highly accomplished monk has arrived outside this residence."

"Is this the reason why Miss Bai is here?"

Upon hearing Yu Luo Niang's words, Su Mo's heart stirred.

Could it be Fahai?
Thinking of this, Su Mo suddenly became a little angry.

Why did this old monk come over?

Immediately, Su Mo stood up.

"Miss Bai, I suddenly realized that my purse is missing."

"Thinking back, I think I dropped it while admiring the scenery by West Lake."

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back in a bit."

After saying that, Su Mo walked straight towards the gate.

He was so fast that Bai Suzhen couldn't react in time and could only watch Su Mo leave.

Su Mo opened the door.

An old monk wearing a red robe was seen pacing outside the door, holding a staff.

Fahai was pleasantly surprised to see Su Mo open the door.

“Benefactor Su, we meet again.” “Just now, the golden alms bowl guided me here.”

"I saw that you were having a pleasant conversation with that snake demon, so I didn't go in to disturb you."

"But I still have a word of advice for Benefactor Su."

"Don't get too close to demons, or you'll easily be affected by their aura."

Upon hearing that it was the golden alms bowl that guided Fahai to find him, Su Mo was startled.

Could it be because of my "Buddha-like heart and sword-like spirit"?

Although he could kill the old monk Fahai with a single punch now, thus relieving Bai Suzhen of her worries.

But Fahai was, after all, someone whom the Buddha valued.

It's very easy to kill them.

What should we do next?
Thinking of this, Su Mo asked.

"Elder Fahai, what brings you to me?"

Fahai then spoke.

"I just wanted to invite you to Jinshan Temple for a chat. I wonder if you would do me the honor."

"it is good!"

Su Mo readily agreed.

"I'll go with the master now."

"But please, Master, do not make things difficult for Miss Bai and Xiaoqing in the future."

Fahai nodded immediately.

“As long as Benefactor Su is willing to go to Jinshan Temple with me, I will definitely not make things difficult for them in the future.”

Su Mo suddenly felt a little strange.

"Elder Fahai, why do I feel that after going to Jinshan Temple with you, it will be difficult to come back?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Fahai stroked his long beard.

"rest assured."

"Freedom to come and go."

“Benefactor Su may stay at Jinshan Temple for as long as he wishes.”

"Of course, you can leave whenever you want."

"it is good!"

After saying that, Su Mo left with Fahai.

After Fahai and Su Mo left, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing opened the door and quietly watched their departing figures.

Xiaoqing's eyes were sparkling with stars.

"Sister, Su Mo is so manly."

"He was so incredibly cool when he defended us in front of that old bald monk Fahai."

"How come I didn't notice this before?"

"Sister, you have such great taste!"

Bai Suzhen's face was full of worry at this moment.

Because she knew that Fahai had taken a liking to the Buddhist nature in Su Lang.

Although the golden body of Su Lang has been given to her and Xiao Qing, his Buddhist nature has not been removed, and he still possesses the qualities to become a great and virtuous monk.

nowadays.

Su Lang followed Fahai.

He'll definitely be persuaded by that old monk to become a nun.

It would be bad if Su Lang made a mistake for a moment.

Xiaoqing is simple-minded and doesn't have many hidden agendas.

Then he looked at his older sister.

"Sister, isn't it something to be happy about that Fahai won't target us anymore?"

Bai Suzhen shook her head.

"You don't understand, Xiaoqing."

"Fine, if Su Lang really becomes a monk, then I'll snatch him back from that old monk Fahai!"

……

……

At this moment, Su Mo followed Fahai all the way to Jinshan Temple.

Fahai's pace was incredibly fast, as if he possessed the ability to shrink distances to an inch.

Su Mo is no less impressive.

With the strength of ten oxen and two tigers and the divine skill of the Yi Jin Jing, this distance was no problem for him at all.

therefore.

It only takes half an hour to get from West Lake to Jinshan Temple.

Looking at the familiar steps of the mountain gate, Su Mo felt a pang of emotion.

In the end, I arrived at the place where I had lived in the simulation.

Noticing Su Mo's gaze, Fahai found it somewhat strange.

"Benefactor Su, have you visited Jinshan Temple before?"

"what?"

Su Mo chuckled after hearing this.

"No, it's just like I dreamt about it."

Fahai smiled.

“Benefactor Su is indeed deeply connected with Buddhism.”

"Please follow me, Benefactor Su."

With that, Fahai stepped onto the steps leading to Jinshan Temple.

Su Mo followed closely behind.

At this moment, the monks of Jinshan Temple are all doing their evening prayers. When they see you and Fahai coming over, they all look at you with curiosity.

I don't know where our abbot found someone like you.

Su Mo gazed at the faces of the monks, inwardly marveling at their wonder.

It's entirely because these monks look exactly like the ones seen in the simulation.

Subsequently.

Fahai took Su Mo to the meditation room.

Inside the meditation room, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

It invigorates the spirit.

"Please take a seat."

After saying that, Fahai sat down on a prayer mat, and Su Mo followed suit and sat down on another prayer mat.

Fahai looked at Su Mo.

It felt increasingly warm and familiar to me.

I felt as if I had known him in a past life.

Given Su Mo's deep affinity with Buddhism, they might actually have been old friends in a past life.

Think of this.

Fahai didn't mince words and went straight to the point, beginning to persuade Su Mo.

“Benefactor Su, this humble monk has lived for over eighty years and has seen countless people.”

"From the first moment I saw you in that riverside city, I knew you had a deep affinity with Buddhism, and a Buddhist heart was hidden in your wisdom."

"Little do people know that the suffering in this world, such as birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, encountering those they hate, and not getting what they want, all come in cycles and all arise from desires."

"If you, Benefactor Su, are able to enter the Buddhist order, you will surely possess the ability to transcend suffering and liberate others."

"To wallow in this mortal world would be to waste your innate talent and affinity for Buddhism!"

When Su Mo heard that Fahai wanted him to become a monk as soon as he arrived, his mind went blank.

Yu Luo Niang, who was in his arms, was even more furious.

That damned bald monk! He actually wanted my husband to become a monk! His heart is despicable!
However, Yu Luo Niang was worried about being discovered by Fahai, so she suppressed her idea of ​​communicating with Su Mo telepathically.

Thought for a while.

Su Mo spoke.

“Elder Fahai, you have been saying that only by entering the Buddhist order can one completely escape the eight sufferings of life and also help others to be free from suffering.”

"But what I want to ask is, Elder, have you gotten rid of this?"

Fahai was taken aback when Su Mo asked him a question.

I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Su Mo spoke again at this moment.

“Elder Fahai, you just said that I have a Buddhist heart and affinity.”

"But I don't think that one has to become a monk to avoid wasting this talent."

"The Buddha cut off his own flesh to feed the eagle, and Bodhidharma crossed the river on a reed; both were acts of entering the world to save people from suffering."

"I am already in this world, so wouldn't that be more convenient?"

Upon hearing this, Fahai immediately shook his head.

"No and no."

"Do you know that entering the world means abandoning an important lesson?"

"That is meditation practice."

"When meditating, one can let go of all greed, anger, and ignorance, and both body and mind will be calm, like still water."

"In the blink of an eye, one can transcend the constraints of time and space."

"Sever the root of afflictions and comprehend the true essence of the Dharma!"

Hearing Fahai say that...

Su Mo picked up a ceramic bowl filled with water, drank the water, and then began to rub it on the table with a soft, rustling sound.

He ground very slowly, but with great effort.

The sound is rhythmic.

This left Fahai somewhat confused.

"Benefactor Su, what are you doing?"

Su Mo's expression remained calm.

"Grinding tiles into a mirror."

Fahai was even more puzzled.

"How can grinding a tile make a mirror?"

"How can one become a Buddha through meditation?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Fahai suddenly felt as if the fog had cleared before his eyes.

His eyesight cleared up considerably in an instant.

“Benefactor Su, this old monk was being too attached to appearances!”

“Cultivation is indeed not bound by form; I was too rigid before.”

Talking.

Fahai's aged face faintly radiated Buddhist light, suggesting that he had been enlightened by Su Mo.

Seeing this, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.

The monk Fahai was indeed highly talented.

However, he remembered something and then asked Fahai about it.

"Elder Fahai, there is something I don't understand."

"That's why you didn't just eliminate that man-eating black bear demon back then!"
