Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 55: Bodhisattva Fears Cause

After Chen Yulou and Qiu Sheng left, Qingqing looked at Master Ikkyu and asked in confusion, "Master, just now, Brother Chen was willing to give you the precious umbrella. Why didn't you take it?"

"Master, didn't you say that magic weapons are very precious?"

Upon hearing this, Master Ikkyu withdrew his gaze from the doorway, took a sip of his tea, and sighed slightly, saying, "Master cannot bear the consequences of that magic weapon!"

"cause and effect?"

Qingqing immediately looked at Master Ikkyu with some confusion.

Although Qingqing is Master Ikkyu's apprentice, that's because her parents died in the war when she was very young and she was left alone, so Master Ikkyu accepted her as his apprentice and kept her by his side.

In fact, to Master Ikkyu, he and Qingqing are not master and disciple, but more like father and daughter.

So since he was a monk, it was naturally impossible for him to let Qingqing give up everything in the world and become a monk when she was young and ignorant.

Naturally, Qingqing didn't understand Buddhism, nor did she understand what cause and effect were.

Master Yixiu glanced at Qingqing and continued, "A magic weapon is different from ordinary magic tools. It will choose its own master."

"The Buddha umbrella has already been chosen as the master of donor Chen. If I take it, I will have to bear the consequences of the magic weapon."

"Qingqing, in Buddhism, everything has its cause and effect. If the magic weapon is in the hands of Benefactor Chen, it can bring good results. But if it is in my hands, it may not bring good results. It may very well bring bad results."

"This is the magic weapon. Those who are destined to obtain it will obtain it. If those who are not destined to obtain it are forced to keep it, not only will it not last long, but it may also ruin their lives and property."

Cause and effect should not be taken lightly. Even Bodhisattvas are afraid of cause and effect, let alone an old monk like him in this mortal world.

Knowing that the Buddha umbrella has cause and effect, how could he easily provoke it?

If he were younger, he might be willing to take a gamble. After all, the Buddha umbrella must contain a lot of Buddhist teachings from great monks. If he could get it, he might be able to go further on the Buddhist path.

However, with his current level of cultivation, he has already embarked on his own Buddhist path. The Buddhist principles in the Buddha umbrella may be used to confirm his Buddhist path, but they may also disrupt it.

So, the gain does not outweigh the loss.

Hearing that her life and property could be ruined, Qingqing's expression changed slightly. She quickly acknowledged, "I see. It's a good thing you didn't take the precious umbrella, Master."

"But Master, Brother Chen is a disciple of Maoshan. If you persuade him to join Buddhism, if Taoist Simu and Taoist Yimei find out, they will probably block your way."

Qingqing looked at Master Ikkyu with a smile.

Master Ikkyu immediately glared at Qingqing and said, "Why are you blocking my door, little girl? I was just being kind."

Donor Chen has a broad, full forehead, with a smooth, flawless brow, indicating ease in grasping the true meaning of Buddhism. His eyebrows, flowing far into his temples and widely spaced, indicate wisdom. His eyes are large, black, clear, and bright, with a gentle and peaceful expression. His eyes are bright and deep, indicating wisdom. His nose is straight, not crooked, and his lips are square, with naturally upturned corners, often smiling. He possesses a compassionate heart.

"Entering Taoism is the wrong path. If you enter Buddhism, there will definitely be a legendary monk in our Buddhist sect in the future."

"What a pity, what a pity!"

If he had met Chen Yulou earlier, he would have tried every possible way to accept Chen Yulou as his disciple.

pity!

Chen Yulou has already entered Taoism, and it seems that he doesn't like Buddhism.

However, with the magic weapon Buddha Umbrella, whether Chen Yulou is a Taoist or a Buddhist remains to be determined.

"Besides, girl, why do you call Benefactor Chen so affectionately?"

"Also, was it because of that donor Chen that you picked the wrong tea leaves?" Master Ikkyu looked at Qingqing and emphasized the word "picked the wrong tea leaves".

Qingqing's pretty face flushed instantly. She glanced at Master Ikkyu, then stiffened her neck and said, "That's it. I just caught the wrong one."

"You girl!"

Seeing that Qingqing refused to admit it, Master Ikkyu immediately said angrily, "You still want to deceive me!"

"Also, Jiale likes you very much, and Master thinks Jiale is a good match for you!" Originally, after Qingqing was adopted by him, she had been fostered by her family in the secular world. It was because he thought Jiale was a good match for Qingqing that he brought Qingqing here so that she and Jiale could get along well.

If the two fell in love with each other, and he arranged for them to get married, he would have given an explanation to the spirits of Qingqing's parents in heaven.

However, up to now, this idiot Jiale has not won Qingqing's favor.

He naturally noticed Qingqing's attitude towards Chen Yulou.

Qingqing immediately frowned and said, "Master, Jiale is always mischievous and acts like a child. I don't dislike him, but I don't like him that much either."

"So you like Chen Yulou?" Master Ikkyu asked.

Qingqing immediately glanced at Master Ikkyu shyly, blushing a little and saying, "Master, what are you talking about? I haven't reached that level with Brother Chen yet!"

Master Ikkyu is not stupid. He knows that this girl has absolutely no chance with Jiale.

However, Chen Yulou has an elegant temperament, outstanding appearance, and extraordinary manners and demeanor. It is obvious that he is not a farmer's son.

This girl...

Hey!
I don’t know whether it is good or bad!

at the same time!

Jiale came back carrying water. As soon as he opened the door, he turned around and noticed Chen Yulou and Qiu Sheng walking over.

He was stunned at first, then immediately asked in surprise: "Senior Brother Qiu Sheng, when did you come?"

"Is it that my uncle wants to talk to my master about something?"

Qiu Sheng walked into the yard and smiled at the surprised Jia Le, "Did you go out fishing and catching shrimp again?"

"With Uncle Master gone, you've become a kingless Fengzi!"

After hearing what Qiu Sheng said, Jiale immediately touched his wet head and chuckled.

"By the way, Jiale, this is Yulou, Chen Yulou, my master's new apprentice, my junior brother!" Qiu Sheng hurriedly introduced Chen Yulou to Jiale.

Chen Yulou looked at Jiale. He looked a bit like Qiu Sheng, but his skin was a little dark, perhaps because he was exposed to too much sun.

"Yulou meets Senior Brother Jiale!"

Chen Yulou performed a very formal Maoshan Taoist salute to Jiale.

Upon hearing this, Jiale looked at Chen Yulou in surprise. When he heard Chen Yulou salute him, Jiale quickly came to his senses and responded formally, "Yulou... Junior Brother, you're too polite!"

After the two of them finished greeting each other, Qiu Sheng looked at Jia Le and asked, "Junior brother, when will my uncle come back?"

Jiale immediately replied, "My master has been out for four or five days. He will probably be back today or tomorrow."

Then, he looked at Qiu Sheng and Chen Yulou curiously and asked, "Could it be that my uncle has something urgent to discuss with my master?"

"That's not true!"

"It's mainly because my junior brother wants to see your master about something, but I didn't expect that your uncle is not at home." Qiu Sheng shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Jiale nodded and then said with a smile: "Brother, brother, I think my master will be back tomorrow at the latest. Why don't we stay here tonight and wait for my master to come back."

"This……"

Qiu Sheng immediately hesitated and then looked at Chen Yulou.

Chen Yulou immediately said, "Brother, if you want to go back to Renjia Town, why don't you go back first and tell Master that you are safe. I will wait for Uncle Master to come back."
