Chapter 6: Grandfather Buddha

"Buddha, wasn't it said that those who have renounced the world do not kill? Why are you also thinking about the fish in this little stream?" Lin Yun said.

It seems I have still underestimated this child's background. However, continuing like this is not a solution; we cannot keep delaying any longer. The old monk furrowed his brow

When the demon essence enters the body, it must lead to the path of evil

However, amidst this gravity, there is also a sense of helplessness

In other words, he wants to lead Lin Yun into the Buddhist path, which is currently impossible to achieve

Even the old monk, who had already opened his eyes to look at him, was unaware of it

This helplessness stems from his current strength

This is a warning from the great masters of Buddhism from several decades ago, which leaves him no choice but to be cautious

Could it be that this Lin Yun is the descendant of that person from years ago

Gululu, gululu

And his wife is, without a doubt, a member of the ruling royal family among the demon race

Child, I will send you here. There happens to be a high monk nearby; you can ask him to guide you.

The old monk spoke, then took action himself, pointing with a finger and striking the surface of the water

Inexplicably, Lin Yun felt a sense of tranquility, as if the serenity of the old monk had also influenced his mood, and for a moment, the emotions in his heart were completely swept away

Lin Yun responded, at that moment, he sensed the change in Li Shuangyang's expression. This change was triggered by the sight of the monk by the stream.

However, upon arrival, it was discovered that, for reasons unknown, the demonic essence that had been buried ten years ago using boundless Buddhist teachings had reemerged. Moreover, it had already permeated into Lin Yun's heart.

I see that you are hungry, aren't you

Upon this thought, he turned his gaze towards Lin Yun in the twilight, and was momentarily taken aback by a hint of astonishment

Under the roasting of these flames, within just a few breaths, the aroma of fish began to waft through the air

Because I am the Buddha, the old monk said with a smile

Throughout the entire time, Lin Yun merely waved his hand calmly. For some reason, he felt a sense that he would definitely meet Li Shuangyang again in the future

In his gaze, there is nothing to be seen but the heavens and the earth

But he did not explain; instead, he bid farewell to Li Shuangyang in a soft voice

This lotus leaf is precisely the one that wrapped around Lin Yun back in those years

In a moment of daze, his memories surged like a breached dam, recalling a figure from over a decade ago who dominated the cultivation world, making waves and nearly becoming the vanguard of the era.

He appeared here today with the intention of guiding Lin Yun

Causality, in the end, is a matter of fate; whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on how you grasp it. Ah, life is short, how does it compare to a fish swimming in the river?" This person said softly while gazing at Lin Yun, who was lost in thought.

Immediately after, strands of flames unexpectedly emerged from his palm

"It has been ten years. The infant who was once hanging by a thread has now transformed into this appearance. However, it seems that I, the old monk, have still underestimated the power of that person. As of now... the time is still not right." The old monk looked at Lin Yun and murmured to himself.

Regardless of whether it is reluctance, longing, the unknown, or confusion

On this lotus leaf, the birth date and time of Lin Yun are inscribed, along with his name. It is even explicitly stated that the name must not be changed, and if anyone adopts him, he must be called Lin Yun.

Lin Yunqiang suppressed his impulse, remaining silent, and simply stared blankly at the old monk

"Do you want to eat grilled fish?" the old monk asked

Indeed, as night falls, Uncle Li should be cautious on his way home

Lin Yun, do you not feel that the fish is very sorrowful at this moment, that its entire life is beyond its control, and that a moment of indulgence has led to the tragic outcome of losing its life

The old monk appeared to be somewhat unsteady in his movements, yet at this moment he displayed remarkable agility, swiftly removing the fish scales in a matter of moments, and then picking up a branch to weave through.

However, given the current situation, it is already impossible for him to descend the mountain. Nevertheless, I wish to introduce him to the basics, but the demonic energy that lies dormant within him cannot possibly go unnoticed by the chief elder, " the old monk said in a low voice.

At this moment, Lin Yun, lost in thought, suddenly opened his eyes. He gazed blankly at the old monk before him, his mind pure, revealing an innocent expression.

Gazing into the distance, Lin Yun only withdrew his gaze after Li Shuangyang's figure completely vanished beneath the setting sun

"Master Buddha, how do you know my name?" Lin Yun asked

At this moment, Lin Yun seemed to be trapped in a dream, showing no reaction whatsoever

Originally, Lin Yun, who was already hungry, found himself in a moment of awakening when the old monk mentioned the swimming fish, as a scene unfolded before his eyes that stirred his emotions

However, his stomach began to grumble even more unreasonably

The old monk was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a smile, appearing quite approachable, with a face full of compassion

From beginning to end, the monk meditating by the stream remained as if in a state of deep concentration, uttering not a single word

Lin Yun was already drooling, gazing at the fish that had been skinned, and his stomach was growling even louder

It turns out that... without realizing it, the moon has risen above the willow branches, and the night is approaching the hour of Zi.

Calculating the time, it is just right and balanced between each other. Ten years ago, that person emerged in the world, and after a fierce battle, disappeared once again.

Then a fish leaped out of the water and landed at the feet of the old monk

Li Shuangyang glanced back every three steps, his eyes revealing a deep sense of reluctance

Given his current strength, although formidable and renowned in the cultivation world, belonging to the ranks of the top giants, he is still far from the likes of the Demon Emperor

He was immersed in it, with a youthful smile on his face and a hint of anticipation.

However, Lin Yun was only ten years old after all. He did not know what the fish thought; he simply did not understand why this old monk would know his name

Only the countless stars dot the sky, with stars hanging low over the plains. Their reflections in the stream resemble the flickering of fireflies, bringing a sense of tranquility to his heart

All have vanished without a trace

Those who can leave behind such will are at least far beyond immortality, and if they are a demon, they are essentially the king among demons. It is astonishing that a newborn infant could be worthy of the demon king's intervention... The old monk's expression grew increasingly grave.

However, Lin Yun seemed to be immersed in this scenery, inexplicably feeling a deep sense of joy towards this place, as if... this was where he truly belonged.

Ah, the path of fate is fraught with difficulties, and the will of heaven is predetermined. I truly do not know what kind of identity and background this child possesses. The old monk murmured softly, and then took out a lotus leaf from his sleeve.

In a moment of daze, the old monk experienced such a reverie in his heart

Lin Yun sat quietly beside, resting her hands on her head, gazing at the old monk

The old monk smiled and then placed the fish in the palm of his hand
