Chapter 300 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold Ascetic Monk 4
Back in the Zen room, Xuanji sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, trying to dispel the waves in his heart by chanting sutras and meditating.
But Yu Yao's figure is as deep in his memory as a brand.
Her smile, her whispers, and even the sadness she revealed inadvertently turned into waves of warmth that surged in his heart.
He knew very well that as an eminent monk, he should not have such distracting thoughts, but the fluctuations in his heart could not be suppressed.
In the end, the blame came from the resistance that arose from not being able to bear seeing her lingering on the worldly world and ruining her thousand-year practice.
He decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with her.
Not only to save her, but also to save myself.
At this time, Yu Yao has returned to his residence, Qingjingzhai.
She leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, thinking about the next step.
Xuanji already has a favorable impression of 62 on her, which is considered a slight liking.
But Xuanji is a high-level monk, and his love for men and women is as calm as water. Perhaps he himself has not noticed this subtle emotion.
Or maybe, even if you are aware of it, you will try your best to suppress it.
If you want to conquer him completely, you have to find a way to make this feeling stronger.
It was so strong that a monk became a demon and was willing to give up his practice just to be with her.
She didn't know if she could do this, but she had to try.
Although good deeds can increase favorability, it is no longer applicable now.
We need to find other breakthroughs.
Yu Yao clasped her fingers lightly on the table, thinking about what to do.
The sunset is like a brocade, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is shrouded in the golden afterglow. The ancient trees in the temple sway gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.
On this day, Xuanji found Yu Yao in the small garden behind the Sutra Pavilion.
At this time, Yu Yao was pruning the flower branches, and her focused expression looked particularly moving under the sunset.
Suddenly aware of someone approaching, she stopped pruning the flower branches and looked up to see Xuan Ji standing not far away.
She put the scissors aside, stood up and saluted slightly: "I have met Master Xuanji."
Xuanji walked over.
"Almsgiver Yu, the poor monk has something to say to you."
He clasped his hands together, his expression solemn, and his figure looked particularly slender under the sunset.
Yu Yao looked at him doubtfully, not knowing what the man wanted to tell her, but she still said respectfully: "Master, please speak."
The breeze gently blew her hair , the beautiful face is even more soft in the glow.
Xuanji's eyes were calm and profound, and he said slowly: "Donor Yu, although you are devoted to good deeds and do many good deeds, after all, as a monster, love and marriage in this world are not for you. There is something wrong with that.”
When Yu Yao heard this, she knew why this man suddenly came to her. He was afraid that he saw the matchmaker at the mountain gate coming to her yesterday.
A narrow smile flashed in her eyes, but there was indeed a very disappointed look on her face: "Why does the master say this? Although I am a demon, I also want to try human love."
Her voice was soft with a hint of stubbornness that was not easy to detect.
She looked directly into Xuanji's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and continued: "Master, I know that you are highly cultivated and have compassion for everything in the world. But have you ever thought about it? , even a demon has the right to pursue happiness and emotion? Although I was born in the mountains, I yearn for the fireworks in the world and long to experience that belonging. The joys and sorrows of ordinary people."
Xuanji couldn't help but frown. Although his voice was still calm, it was a little more helpless and insistent: "Donor Yu, you have a pure heart, and I know it. But love is the most complicated and unpredictable thing, and it is easy to have greed, anger and delusion, which may affect your path of spiritual practice.”
"It may even lead to a catastrophe. It is not easy for you to practice. It took thousands of years to achieve the results you have today. Wouldn't it be a pity if all your previous efforts were wasted due to a momentary thought?" Yu Yao shook her head gently, with a trace of determination flashing in her eyes: "Master, the path of practice It's long and lonely. If I don't have my heart, how can I continue? Although I am a monster, I know how to repay kindness and understand what responsibility and responsibility are. If I really meet my beloved, I am willing to protect him with my monster body. Feng Yu, isn’t this another kind of practice?”
Xuanji fell silent, he had never expected that she would have such a profound insight.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body, coating her with a soft golden edge.
He couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him again.
Her eyes were clear and firm, revealing an extraordinary courage and determination.
"Donor Yu, what you say makes sense, but everything in the world has its destiny, and emotional matters are even more complicated and unpredictable. If you insist on doing this, I can't stop you. I just hope you can keep your heart. Don't let desire blind you and lead you astray."
Xuanji stared at her seriously, with both helplessness and expectation in his tone.
Yu Yao smiled slightly, that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and warm: "Master, don't worry, although this little girl is not talented, she also knows the priorities. I will cherish the people in front of me, and at the same time, I will stick to myself. I have a Taoist heart and will not let anything hinder my practice.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if at this moment, all the barriers and misunderstandings had disappeared.
Xuanji nodded lightly and turned around to leave, but then seemed to remember something.
He stopped and looked back at Yu Yao again: "Donor Yu, if you encounter something difficult to solve in the future, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you."
A warm current surged in Yu Yao's heart. She bowed deeply and said gratefully: "Thank you, master. I will keep it in my heart, little lady."
Xuanji nodded slightly, turned around and walked away gradually.
Yu Yao stood there, looking at the gradually blurring back, with a meaningful smile on her lips.
It seems that the conversation just now had a great impact on Xuanji.
The favorability level actually increased by 3 points, it is already 65.
It was an unexpected surprise.
Yu Yao turned around, put the scissors back in the utility room, and returned to her residence, Qingjingzhai.
The sun is dappled, passing through the gaps between the towering ancient trees, and gently falling on every piece of rubble of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
This thousand-year-old temple is covered with a golden veil, making it even more tranquil and peaceful.
However, this tranquility did not last long, and was broken by a burst of rapid footsteps.
Jueming looked anxious as he trotted through the winding corridors and headed straight for Xuanji's residence.
Not long after, his footsteps stopped at the door of Xuanji Zen Room.
“Dong dong dong…”
Jueming knocked on the Zen door lightly, with a bit of uneasiness in his voice, "Master Xuanji, I have something urgent to report down the mountain."
In the Zen room, a wisp of green smoke curled up.
Xuanji was meditating with his eyes closed. Hearing Jueming's report, he slowly opened his eyes. It was as deep as a lake, calm and containing endless wisdom.
“Come in.”
His voice was gentle and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
Jueming pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced at Xuan Ji who was sitting on the futon, bowed and saluted, and said eagerly: "Master, the people in the village next to the mountain asked to see him. They looked frightened, saying that there was an evil spirit causing trouble. He contracted the disease and died soon after. The whole village was extremely panicked. Hearing that the doctor's treatment was useless, they went up the mountain to ask for help. "
Xuanji frowned when he heard this. Hearing that there was an evildoer at work. .
The person who had the accident was still a strong man, and he was afraid that he had encountered a female demon who specialized in replenishing men's yang energy for spiritual practice.
He knew that this matter was not trivial, and he did not dare to delay. He stood up, straightened his cassock, and hurriedly left the Zen room and went to the front yard.
