Chapter 003: What to Do When the Master is Not Reliable

Su Anran, no matter how foolish, understood what was happening and couldn't help but glance back at Huang Zi

As long as there is Buddha in the heart, there is nothing that is not Zen meditation. The profound words were still accompanied by hands pressed together, spoken softly.

Master Xuanbei smiled as he looked at Su Anran, then spoke: "Old Huang, is this child your illegitimate son?"

What the hell

"One cannot speak like that..." Xuan Bei shook his head, "You are still single to this day, which clearly indicates that your past connections are not yet resolved, and the cause and effect have not been severed. When I say that you have a connection with my Buddha, it means that you need to conclude this cause and effect. If this fruit is not concluded, the cause remains unresolved, how can we talk about the future?"

Su Anran looked at Huang Zi with disdain, having previously claimed that he was not his disciple and wanting to drive him away. Now, upon seeing that he was somewhat useful, he suddenly declared that he was his disciple. What kind of person is this

Since one does not understand without participation, how can there be sudden enlightenment

It is often said that crossing over is a pitfall for the master, but how is it that when it comes to him, the master becomes a pitfall for the disciple

Huang Zidun immediately burst into a hearty and triumphant laugh, displaying a thoroughly arrogant demeanor

Little monk has yet to inquire about the esteemed name of the benefactor

Causality, causality, there is a cause before there is an effect. You and I have no connection, so how can there be an effect?" Huang Zidan said lightly, "You always say that the Buddhist path is pure; if it is pure, why do you still arrange for the novices to clean every day?

Su Anran was still in a state of confusion, when Miao Yan smiled slightly and softly said: "It is the heart of the benefactor that is stirred."

It was a stout man dressed in a cassock and two young monks clad in monk robes

As long as you win, I will give you a big gift package when I turn back

What should I do if that old bald donkey gets angry and hits me

"Old Bald Donkey, what are you doing here again?" Seeing the fat man across from him, Huang Zi's face showed an expression of impatience

Therefore, no matter how much he lowered his voice, everyone present could still hear him clearly

Indeed. Xuan Bei deeply empathized and nodded, saying, "I mentioned back then that you have a connection with our Buddhist community, but you did not believe it."

"No respect for age, calling me master." Huang Zi turned his head and snorted coldly

"Senior Sister, why are there female monks?" Su Anran, embodying the excellent practice of asking when in doubt, inquired, "Could it be that they practice Joyful Zen?"

Su Anran felt that her master seemed to have aged several decades in an instant

Is it women's clothing

Moreover, that monk was actually trapped in the formation for as long as three months; this is truly a remarkable talent!

The smile on Miao Yan's face froze, and even Master Xuan Bei couldn't help but furrow his brows

Hahaha. The hearty laughter grew even more resounding, "Master Huang, don't be so formal! Hurry and open the door, I know you are inside."

Miao Yan's expression was no longer stiff, but rather resembled that of someone who had just eaten bitter melon

Rest assured, I will certainly send that old bald donkey down to accompany you first, and only then will I accept a new disciple

The bald little novice timidly stepped forward and then performed a gesture of reverence with both hands in front of Huang Zi, Fang Qianwen, and Su Anran in succession

"Benefactor Su, this humble monk has traveled a long distance with my master, and I kindly ask you to impart your teachings."

Wow! Master, how are you so talented!

But what can he do? He doesn't know this trick and has no way to retaliate.

Xuan Bei's laughter grew louder

It is remarkable to have traversed time earlier than oneself, having exhausted all the jokes and ideas. What do I have left to show off with

"That's right, just as you think." Huang Zi said with a huff, "That old bald donkey!"

Looking at Fang Qianwen like this, Huang Zi let out a helpless sigh: "It is all my fault as a teacher; I should not have allowed you to stay in the valley for so many years"

Why are you so useless, it's a shame you came from 2019

It seemed that the female monk understood the intention behind Su Anran's gaze, and she also clasped her hands together and said: "I am Miaoxin, a humble monk, and I have also benefited from the teachings of my esteemed junior brother Miao Yan."

The last time Master Xuanbei came, Master had just instructed Junior Sister Eight to improve the mountain protection formation, creating an illusion of some famous person's harem technique. As a result, Master Xuanbei was trapped in the formation for three months. Fang Qianwen said softly, "The outcome was that we could not get out, and those outside could not come in. In the end, Master had no choice but to close the formation and let Master Xuanbei in due to the incessant noise from Junior Sister and the others."

"Hahaha, young benefactor, the Joyful Zen is the practice of the Joyful Sect," the great monk Xuanbei laughed heartily and said, "Although the Joyful Sect and our Great Sun Tathagata Sect once shared the same master, there are now distinctions between us."

Hmm. Huang Zi nodded and said, "One of the five great supernatural powers of Buddhism, the Divine Foot Power."

The more Su Anran thought about it, the angrier she became

This time, he did not dare to use "dare to ask" anymore, fearing that he would be put in a difficult position again due to Huang Zi's reckless words.

Then he glanced at his senior sister again and saw her looking bewildered and at a loss. Su Anran realized that she was a natural black, and that he needed to be more cautious in the future, otherwise he might not even know how he died in an instant

Su Anran glanced at Huang Zi, who lazily waved his hand and said, "What are you looking at me for? If you lose, don't say I'm your disciple"

It's nothing, it's nothing. You are my newly accepted disciple, and you come from the year 2019. Remember to make me proud later.

This is the legendary supernatural power of Buddhism, isn't it the ability to shrink distances?

I said Huang Zi

Every sect will have a protective mountain formation, even the weakest sect will certainly have one to maintain its facade. Therefore, Su Anran can understand the existence of a protective mountain formation in Taiyi Valley, and naturally, he can also comprehend the reasons why the other party does not dare to recklessly invade the valley

Senior Sister ... ...

The large string is worn around the monk's neck, with each bead being the size of an adult's fist, totaling fourteen beads

Use a seductive technique to deal with a monk

Su Anran did not know how far the valley entrance was from this place, but he only knew that when he first saw the other party, it was merely a black dot the size of a sesame seed. In the next instant, it had already grown to the size of a finger. Each time the size changed, it took less than a second; Su Anran merely blinked once and found that the figure of the other party had already become clearly visible

"Alright, I know your capabilities well enough." Huang Zi yawned and said, "This is my new disciple; let your disciple spar with him."

Su Anran let out a light sigh, and then her gaze involuntarily turned towards the female disciple of Cidu Temple, wondering if there would be a second round.

The two young novices are both quite young, appearing to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. Their common feature is that they both have delicate and attractive features, making it easy for others to take a liking to them. However, they differ in one aspect: the novice on the left has already shaved his head, with six scars on his bald scalp; while the novice on the right is wearing a monk's hat, with long hair cascading down to her waist, revealing that she is actually a woman

Huang Zi suddenly glanced at Su Anran, then smiled and casually gestured a few times in the air.

Among those present, only Su Anran is currently a true novice

"Who is joking with you?" Huang Zi curled his lips, "It's just some witty banter, feel free to be unreasonable and let your imagination run wild."

The monk was approximately forty years old, standing at a height of 1.8 meters, yet his weight certainly exceeded 300 jin. Su Anran found it hard to imagine the extent to which life in the temple could foster such a physique. He was dressed in a set of yellow monk robes, with a dark-hued kasaya over it. He did not carry a staff, but he had two strands of prayer beads, one large and one small, on him.

"Well then," Su Anran scratched his head, "The wind blows and the flag moves. May I ask, little master, is it the wind that is moving, or the flag that is moving?"

Huang Gu, please open the door quickly. I have brought two juniors with me this time, and they cannot enter your grand formation.

Su Anran felt for the second time that perhaps she really should not have crossed over

What should we do, Master? He knows you are here" Fang Qianwen turned her head and looked at Huang Zi with a bewildered expression

Suddenly hearing Huang Zi's voice, Su Anran realized that this must be what is referred to as secret communication.

Upon hearing Huang Zi's words, Su Anran decided to give it her all

The sweeping is done before the Buddha, while the dust in the heart is being purified

Su Anran was already looking at Huang Zi with a face full of gritted teeth

I am Su Anran. Looking at Huang Zi's unreliable appearance, Su Anran knew there was no point in expecting anything from the other party

Fang Qianwen, with an expression of embarrassment, quietly explained: "The Great Sun Tathagata Sect is the orthodox lineage of Lingshan, and they have two branches. One branch is Buddhist Zen, which does not accept female disciples, while the other branch is Compassionate Deliverance, which does the opposite"

"Stop with that nonsense. My single status is a personal matter and has nothing to do with your Buddhist community." Huang Zi scoffed, displaying a face full of arrogance

With a苦着一张脸 expression, he clasped his hands together and timidly said: "Thank you, young benefactor, I have learned a lot from you"

However, he also knew that asking himself about this master would definitely yield no results, as evidenced by the fact that Huang Zi's expression was as dark as a burnt clay pot.

The Earth has indeed experienced an era of information explosion, which is different from the direction of civilization development in this world. Therefore, Huang Zi is not at all surprised that Su Anran knows these things. In fact, if Su Anran were unaware of these matters, it would be Huang Zi who would express shock.

Upon seeing the monk, Su Anran could only think of one phrase: Laughing Maitreya

Su Anran inexplicably shivered: "Master, what do you intend to do"

The profound teachings of Buddhism cannot be understood without personal experience and contemplation

The small string, worn on the right wrist of the monk, consists of twenty-one beads, each no larger than a fingernail.

Without saying anything, one understands nothing; even one's cultivation is a blank slate

Upon hearing this, Fang Qianwen's face showed a hint of embarrassment, while Huang Zigang's expression darkened. In contrast, the great monk Xuanbei broke into a grin and said, "I truly believe now that he is your disciple and not your illegitimate child, hahahaha"

Su Anran stared in astonishment at the two people who were exchanging banter. He never expected that the seemingly joking remark made by the monk upon their first meeting was actually a challenge directed at Huang Zi.

Miao Yan's smile became more sincere: "Why not pour out half of the water?"

"Little benefactor, I observe that your features are quite in harmony with the Buddha," Master Xuanbei suddenly reached out and took out a prayer bead, handing it to Su Anran. "If one day, little benefactor, you wish to contemplate the teachings of Buddhism, you may take this prayer bead to Little Spirit Mountain to find this humble monk, and I can introduce you."

Huang Zi's complexion darkened further

Ha. "How could my child be so useless?" Huang Zi let out a disdainful cold laugh.

Upon hearing Huang Zi's admission, Su Anran was taken aback

Sigh. Xuan Bei shook his head and said, "You should thank the young benefactor."

I have one more question. While gathering firewood to boil water, I realized halfway through that there is not enough wood. May I ask what the young master should do in this situation

Master Xuanbei smiled and said, "Well said, go on."

Su Anran felt a deep sense of exhaustion, questioning for the first time whether she should have been so enthusiastic about time travel

Since the young master already has the Buddha in his heart, why does he still need to meditate?

However, from the other party's words, it seems that he is not afraid to break through this great formation; rather, he is hesitant because he is not alone this time, but is accompanied by juniors, which is why he does not dare to breach the formation. Su Anran appeared to be very curious about this.

"Get lost." Huang Zi snatched the prayer beads and waved his hand, "This is my disciple. How dare you try to pry into my disciple? Be careful, or I will cause you trouble."

May I ask, young master, how do you practice Zen on a daily basis

Seeing Huang Zi smiling so kindly, Su Anran felt even more flustered: "Master, I have just arrived, and I have neither cultivation nor knowledge of the circumstances in this world. Please do not joke with me."

However, Su Anran's attention was primarily focused on the two individuals behind the monk.

Xuan Bei's words have essentially amounted to a concession.

"Alright, Master," Su Anran said somewhat reluctantly, looking at Huang Zi, who was only a few years older than him and had also traveled here. "That Naruto harem technique..."
