The Strange Tales of Tokyo Monk

It was a night at the end of July, and the cool touch gave people a very comfortable feeling.

"Master Liansheng..."

Xiaoqing raised her head and hesitated, not daring to speak.

"What's the matter?"

Pinggong Qianye gave it an encouraging look. He was very happy about this little snake demon whose intelligence was enlightened by his reciting of the "Manjushri Wisdom Mantra".

"Master Liansheng, can you help me with my practice?" Xiaoqing finally mustered up the courage to say this.

Wait, something's not right here.

Pinggong Qianye was stunned. A green snake demon actually asked him to help it practice?

This is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

He didn't even say the classic line: "Snake demon, I need you to help me practice!"

This green snake demon actually dared to ask me to help it practice?

It's really the opposite of Tiangang!

"Master, is it not possible?"

Seeing that Pinggong Qianye had a strange expression on his face, Xiaoqing shrank her body and buried her head, fearing that her words would cause the monk in front of her to blame her.

"Xiaoqing, come back!"

The mountain rabbit sitting on the magic frog's head finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up straight, put his hands on his hips, and looked very angry.

Besides Mr. Frog, the only person left by his side was Xiaoqing.

If Xiaoqing follows this scary monk to practice, wouldn't I be even more lonely?

Besides, how could a monster actively request to practice with a monk?

The harmonious coexistence between monks and monsters in novels is all fake and is used to deceive monsters with pure hearts!

It was obvious that it was those hateful monks who forcibly captured the monsters and kept them by their side, wanting to convert them with Buddhist teachings in order to show the boundless power of Buddhism.

"Master Liansheng..."

Xiaoqing ignored Yamausagi's calls, but slowly stuck out her head, and looked at Pinggong Qianye with her watery eyes, filled with tears, expectantly and anxiously.

This green snake demon is truly gifted!

Although he has only just begun to understand human nature, his natural movements and expressions are ignorant, simple, innocent, and bewildered...

It's simply a killer weapon.

If it grows up, the charm it reveals will definitely be even more terrifying!

Pinggong Qianye only thought about it for a while, then quickly retracted his thoughts and said calmly: "Why do you want me to help you practice?"

"I just think Master Liansheng is very powerful. If I can practice with you, I can become very powerful too."

Xiaoqing expressed her simple little thoughts, which were very pure and innocent, just to become more powerful.

Chapter 116: Jade Rabbit Pounds Medicine, Green Snake Asks for Love

Under the faint moonlight, the waterfall splashes.

Pinggong Qianye was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed, holding a coiled green snake in the palm of his right hand.

The green snake's entire body was emerald green, as if it were carved from jadeite, and in its black and white eyes, there was still the ignorance and confusion of a newborn.

Pinggong Qianye smiled and asked, "Do you have a strong desire to improve your cultivation?"

"don't know."

Xiao Qing shook his head, thought for a while, and then said: "At least, we can't be easily bullied by other monsters, and even the territory we usually live in has been taken away."

"Xiao Qing!"

The mountain rabbit, who was already standing on the head of the magic frog, couldn't help it anymore.

She jumped off the magic frog's head angrily, walked in front of Pinggong Qianye, and grabbed Xiaoqing with her hand.

"I was retreating strategically, not being bullied!"

The mountain rabbit patted Xiaoqing's head gently with its little hand and said angrily, "That forest is still mine. I just lent it to the big tiger for a while. I will take it back later!"

After finishing his heroic words, Yamausagi gradually realized that he was very close to this terrifying monk.

The opponent only needs to stretch out his hand to catch you.

Yamausagi's expression froze instantly, and he stood still, not daring to move.

Just as she thought, the scary monk really reached out to her.

It’s over, it’s over… I will die at the hands of the monk just like the monsters in so many storybooks.

Woohoo, I want to cry.

Yamausagi's body trembled, and her face quickly turned red. The urge to cry was replaced by shame.

Because the monk reached out and touched his most sensitive rabbit ears.

He also closed his ears, placed them in his warm palms, and rubbed them gently.

"The Mountain Rabbit King has quite a temper."

Pinggong Qianye made a joke and pinched the mountain rabbit's pink and furry ears. He felt that the touch was very good and more comfortable than petting a cat.

"I, you, please let go of my ears... This is not good."

There was a pleading look in the mountain rabbit's watery little eyes.

Seeing that Yamausagi was indeed afraid of him, Pinggong Chiye let go of her rabbit ears and watched her jump back onto the magic frog's head and hide.

As for Xiaoqing, she was also caught by her and was now lowering her head and giving her a lecture in a low voice.

This result is good. It is not suitable for him to have a green snake demon like Xiaoqing by his side.

Seeing that the magic frog closed its eyes and pretended to sleep, the mountain rabbit hid, and Xiaoqing had no freedom.

Hiramiya Chiye took out the moon doll given by Jingu Yaezakura from her bag and placed it on the jade bed, bathing it in the moonlight from the sky.

This process is equivalent to charging a mobile phone. It needs to be charged to a certain level before the moon doll can exert its magical ability to communicate over thousands of miles.

The greater the distance, the more energy is required.

Pinggong Qianye had no idea how long it would take, so he could only put it under the moonlight and try it out.

Pinggong Qianye, who was free, took a look at the movement of the mountain rabbit. Seeing that her rabbit ears quietly appeared again, he smiled and said, "King of the mountain rabbit, do you want to hear a story?"

The pair of rabbit ears moved, and after a while the mountain rabbit's voice came, "What's the story?"

"A legend about a jade rabbit pounding medicine."

"Jade Rabbit? Is she a distant relative of mine?"

Yamausagi's head finally popped up again, and Xiaoqing was held by her hands and wrapped around her arms.

"It is said that there is a rabbit on the moon. The rabbit is as white as jade, so it is called the Jade Rabbit."

Pinggong Chiye began to tell the myths and legends that he remembered.

"The white rabbit has a jade pestle in its hand. It often kneels down and pounds medicine with the pestle to make toad pills. It is said that taking these pills can make people immortal."

"Wow, that's amazing."

The mountain rabbit looked up at the moon, his eyes shining and full of longing.

That’s a rabbit that can live on the moon!

Unlike me, I can only live in the mountains and forests, and I can't fly. I can only jump around in the woods every day.

I wonder if the Jade Rabbit in the moon is looking at the world and seeing me at this moment?

“Is there really a Moon Palace on the Moon? Is there really a fairy named Chang’e?”

After listening to the story, Yamausagi was no longer as afraid of Hiramiya Chiya's existence as before.

At this time, she held her cheeks with both hands, lying on the head of the magic frog, her rabbit ears moving upright, and her two little feet kicking up and down behind her.

"Have."

In the past, Hiramiya Chiye might not have been able to give an accurate answer, but now, if a moon god like Jingu Yaezakura can exist, then the so-called Moon Palace should also exist.

"That's great."

Yamausagi chuckled, perhaps imagining some happy and joyful scene.

"Master, is there any legend about me?" Xiaoqing crawled out from behind the mountain rabbit, his eyes blinking.

Pinggong Qianye hesitated for a moment. He had not originally intended to talk about the legend about snakes because he only remembered the stories between the White Snake, the Green Snake and Fahai.

Such legends can easily mislead Xiaoqing, who is not very smart.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not something you need to worry about.

I am not Fahai.

Xiaoqing is not the green snake in the story.

"Yes, there is a story about a green snake asking for love."

Pinggong Qianye organized his words a little and told the story of the Green Snake and Fahai.

When I heard that sentence: "Snake demon, I need you to help me practice. If you can disrupt my concentration, I will let you go."

Xiaoqing stared deeply at Pinggong Qianye. Being smart, she had already figured out the reason why Pinggong Qianye had such a strange expression before.

It turned out that it was because he had stolen the lines.

"This Fahai is such a bastard!"

After hearing the story, the mountain rabbit was furious and spoke up for the green snake, "In the end, he was the one who lost, but he turned his back on the snake and even wanted to solve the problem through force. How despicable!"

In response to such comments, Pinggong Qianye smiled and said nothing.

At the moment when Fahai’s concentration was disrupted in the pond, he had indeed lost, and his Buddhist Dharma had also lost.

At that time, the Green Snake actually didn't quite understand love in the human world. It was her innocence, naivety and immaturity that made Fahai unable to resist for a while.

If you lose, you lose.

If Fahai had frankly admitted his defeat at that time and let the green snake go, then his loss would also be a win.

Let go, and the world will be open to you.

From then on, he would no longer have any entanglement with the green snake. Even if they met again, he would just calmly recite "Amitabha".

Unfortunately, he chose to get angry and humiliated, which was the worst choice. He allowed his mentality to become unbalanced and his emotions to overflow and become uncontrollable, which was a taboo for Buddhist practitioners.

But for practitioners, practice is everywhere. After losing control once, if one can practice Buddhism again with great concentration and perseverance, and stick to the original intention, without wavering, one will also be able to achieve success.

In fact, if you think about it many times, Buddhism has never abandoned any practitioner. No matter how wrong he makes, as long as he is willing to turn back, Buddhism will tolerate him and give him wisdom and compassion.

"Master, what is emotion?"

Xiaoqing wanted to climb down from the magic frog's head, but was grabbed by the mountain rabbit. She could only lie on the mountain rabbit's shoulder and asked in confusion.

"You have a good relationship with Yamausagi. You like being with her. Like is a kind of emotion."

"You hate Tiger Vanguard for using force to drive you away. Hate is also a kind of emotion."

"Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all emotions that all sentient beings have at birth."

Pinggong Chiye answered in a calm tone.

"What kind of relationship is there between the green snake in the story and Master Fahai?" Xiao Qing asked again, seemingly understanding.

"Of course it's a bad fate!"

Yamausagi answered confidently, and patted Xiaoqing's head at the same time, "Xiaoqing, you have learned a lot today, go to bed and rest early."

"But I'm not sleepy at all."

"You can sleep even if you're not sleepy!"

Yamatu has made up his mind that he must not let Xiaoqing continue to be obsessed with these emotional issues.
