"...I think I understand what happened."
After a while.
In the reception room.
Saint Bailian, wearing a monk's robe, sat upright on the cushion and said calmly:
"Since this is a misunderstanding, I forgive you."
"Thank you so much, Master Sheng Bailian. You truly have a compassionate heart."
Chu Bai, whose face was bruised and swollen from the beating, gave a thumbs up tremblingly.
At the same time, he was secretly surprised at the monk's strength.
In that panicked moment, Saint Bailian casually swung a punch, which split into fist shadows all over the sky.
Each fist shadow had extremely amazing power. Even Chu Bai, who had practiced physical skills and was quite confident in his physical fitness, was beaten miserably in an instant.
It seems that the physical fitness of this Saint White Lotus Master is not as weak as he appears.
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing Chu Bai's slightly dazed look, Saint Bailian couldn't help but cast a suspicious look at him:
"Are you thinking about what just happened?"
"No, no, I completely forgot what happened just now."
Chu Bai quickly explained:
"And Master, don't worry. In fact, I didn't see anything. I fainted the moment the door opened."
"Is this so..."
Saint Bailian nodded as if in belief.
But suddenly she changed the subject and asked quickly:
"Does my white corset look good?"
"What bra? You're not wearing anything...ah."
Chu Bai immediately covered his mouth.
Saint Bailian stared at him with embarrassment, like a young girl who had been taken advantage of.
"So you saw it, right? Monks hate people who tell lies the most!"
"I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong! I'll be more careful next time and I won't see it again!"
"There won't be a next time! If there is a next time, I will use the Dharma to save you!"
It looked like it was about to fail.
Saint Bailian took a few deep breaths and silently recited a few meditation scriptures before regaining his composure.
"Forget it, this is just an accident after all, let's just let it go."
"Just don't spread the word."
"...Don't worry, I won't say anything like that."
The two of them held up their teacups and took a sip at the same time.
This topic is over.
At this time, Duoduoliang Xiaosan had been sent away by Sheng Bailian, and only the two of them were left in the room.
After a brief silence, Chu Bai spoke first:
"So, Master Saint Bailian, what exactly do you want me to come here for?"
We are finally getting to the point.
Saint Bailian clasped her hands together and looked straight at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes:
"Chu Bai, before I explain my true intention, I would like to ask you a question..."
"What do you think of the religious forces in Gensokyo?"
Chapter 85: Four goals in a row, Saint Bai Lian’s first kiss!
"The religious power in Gensokyo?"
Facing the problem of Saint White Lotus.
Chu Bai gave the answer almost without hesitation:
"The Dragon God died before his founding was even halfway completed. Now religions are divided into three parts, and Buddhism is in decline. This is truly a critical moment for survival."
"However, the good men and women who are diligent in their inner selves, and the loyal believers who forget their bodies in the outer world, are seeking the special favor of Vaisravana and repaying the Master..."
"...Wait a moment, stop reciting the text!"
The corners of Saint Bailian's eyes trembled slightly. Fortunately, she was calm, otherwise she would have complained on the spot.
Taking a deep breath, she spoke again:
"Then let me change the question, Chu Bai, what has been your obsession all this time?"
Chu Bai frowned slightly:
"I don't have any obsessions."
Saint Bailian shook his head slightly:
"No, you do."
"I do not have."
"You have."
"I do not have."
"You have."
"you have not."
"I have."
"Well, you do."
Chu Bai clasped his hands together:
"Then Master Bai Lian, what is your obsession?"
Saint Bailian's expression was slightly dazed:
"My obsession, of course, is my biological brother, Minglian... Wait, why am I the one telling the story here?"
She glared at Chu Bai unhappily:
"I'm asking seriously, so it's best if you don't interrupt me, Mr. Chu Bai."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to think twice about the secret treasure I promised you."
As soon as I heard the word secret treasure.
Chu Bai snorted arrogantly:
"You actually threatened me with the secret treasure. You've finally found a weak spot!"
"...Why are you saying such cowardly words with such a proud expression?"
"It does not matter!"
Chu Bai took over the conversation and said:
"If you talk about obsession, I probably do have one."
"After all, the various causes and effects of the outside world haven't been completely severed. If I say I've completely given up on this, even I don't believe it."
"And... after seeing all the amazing abilities in Gensokyo, I can't help but want to try things again that I couldn't accomplish before."
When it comes to obsession, the only person Chu Bai can think of is his master.
The beautiful elder sister who taught him all kinds of knowledge, led him into the door of the mysterious side, but eventually died at his hands.
Ever since his master passed away, Chu Bai has been thinking about resurrecting her and apologizing to her in person.
Whether it was slaughtering tens of thousands of black cultists or traveling around the world in search of secret medicine, it was all for the purpose of fulfilling this obsession.
With the end of the last battle, he overdrew his magic power and killed all his enemies.
After that, he completely cut off all ties with the magical world and lived as an ordinary Chinese teacher for two and a half years, until he accidentally entered Gensokyo after the plane crash.
But even so, he still couldn't let it go completely.
This was his obsession. It had lasted for over a decade, and it would most likely continue into the future.
“In fact, everyone has obsessions.”
Seeing Chu Bai lost in thought, Saint Bai Lian spoke naturally:
"My obsession is to achieve perfect merit, master the Dharma, and reach the state of becoming a saint through Buddha."
"In this way, perhaps we can allow monsters and humans to coexist harmoniously, and we may even find a way to resurrect my brother Minglian..."
"But obsession also needs correct guidance. Excessive obsession may lead people down the wrong path."
"It is even easy to be entangled in karma and eventually degenerate into an evil ghost that harms the world."
Chu Bai looked at Sheng Bailian, waiting for her next words.
Then the master suddenly stretched out his hand and showed an expression of solicitation:
"So, come and join the training at Myouren Temple."
"If you can take refuge in the Three Jewels and observe the Five Precepts, I will personally help you calm your restless obsessions and lead you to understand the profound mysteries of Buddhism!"
Chu Bai: "???"
It turns out the main text is waiting here!
So you, like that Queen Qing'e, are here to persuade me to believe in religion?
"Please allow me to refuse."
Chu Bai pushed his hand away and declined politely:
"I'm not really interested in joining a religion, and what good would it bring me?"
But Saint Bailian showed a confident smile:
"There are so many benefits to converting to Buddhism."
"First, there is the Vaisravana deity worshipped by Myoren Temple. He has a dignified demeanor, his six senses are tranquil, he possesses many virtues, and he can subdue all demons. He also has the thirty-two marks and eighty characteristics of a noble and majestic person."
"He can subdue those who are difficult to subdue, convert those who are difficult to convert, enlighten those who cannot attain enlightenment, liberate those who cannot be liberated, and enable those who have not yet attained Nirvana to enter Nirvana..."
Seeing that Chu Bai was not interested, Sheng Bailian decisively changed the subject:
“And the Buddha once said: Life in the world is like being among thorns. If the heart does not move, the person will not move rashly. If you do not move, you will not be hurt.”
"By converting to Buddhism and practicing meditation, one can be free from the disturbances of the world and thus gain true wisdom and freedom."
Chu Bai shook his head slightly:
"Master, I disagree with your idea."
"Oh?"
Saint Bailian was not angry, but showed an interested look:
"Willing to hear your advice?"
Chu Bai adjusted his sitting posture slightly and explained in a serious tone:
"As the saying goes, one's destiny is created by oneself, and one's appearance is determined by one's heart. One's fate and fortune are created by oneself. This is what is meant by sowing good seeds and reaping good results."
