Upon seeing this, Xia Zhiming didn't say anything more. After all, the current Jin Chanzi seemed quite immature and uninteresting. It was just that he had been bullied by the Bodhisattva twice and had learned to find fault with others.

On the way, the two men and the snake passed through many monks and reached the main hall. They passed many Buddhas, Arhats, Jietis, Vajras, bhikkhus, monks and nuns before they found their seats.

Qingxin was not in a hurry to sit down. After all, she was attending the meeting on behalf of her teacher. She had experienced the process once and was naturally familiar with it.

The man and the snake looked around and soon saw that Lishan Laomu and Guanyin Bodhisattva were already sitting there. They stepped forward to greet them and said in unison: "Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, greetings to the Jade Purity Saint Ancestor Zi Yuanjun and the Greatly Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Jin Chanzi had already met the two of them before, and he simply bowed and was about to leave.

"slow!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva pinched her orchid finger and called out to Jin Chanzi. Then, under the gaze of the two people and the snake, she changed into the appearance of Yulan Bodhisattva. Then, she saw—

She is lazy and afraid of dressing up, so her face is very graceful.

Her hair was tied up in a loose bun and she never wore a tassel.

She didn't wear a plain blue robe, but a tight-fitting jacket.

She wore a brocade skirt tied around her waist and had bare feet.

The shawl has no embroidered belt, and the arms are bare.

Summary: A bellyband on the upper body, a short skirt on the lower body, and a very exposed Bodhisattva.

After taking a quick look, Qingxin stared at the Bodhisattva without blinking, her cherry lips slightly opening and closing, and she looked obviously stunned.

Xia Zhiming naturally took a look at the girl's shoulder, but he was not very interested. The reason was simple - why was the old woman pretending to be a virgin!

However, after reading it, Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together and quickly closed his eyes, saying, "The Bodhisattva called me to stop. I wonder what instructions you have."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly, "Jin Chanzi, why don't you look at me?"

Jin Chanzi closed his eyes and chanted, "My disciple's practice is incomplete. I only see rouge and no skulls. I am afraid that this will pollute the sacred land of Lingshan Mountain."

He had been sitting under the Buddha for a long time, so he naturally knew the principle of color and emptiness. He had always followed the rules and precepts, and thought that by not looking or listening, he had let go of the external appearance. However, he did not expect that he would fall three times in a row today and could only put it aside for the time being.

At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva chuckled and said, "The Bodhisattva is right before your eyes, but you are unwilling to look at him for the time being. How can it be in vain?"

When Jin Chanzi heard this, he thought for a moment and quickly understood what the Bodhisattva meant. He could only slowly open his eyes and look at her.

Noticing Jin Chanzi's actions, Guanyin Bodhisattva raised her head slightly and blinked, then put one hand on her chest and put on a pure look. With a cool outfit, she instantly looked as beautiful as a pearl and more gorgeous than glass.

Upon seeing this, Jin Chanzi did not have any evil intentions. He just picked up a string of prayer beads and started to move them, looking at the Bodhisattva in front of him with an expressionless face.

At the table, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin shook their heads at the same time. Qingxin took a quick look and sat down next to the Bodhisattva to wait for the result.

As expected, within a moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva raised her hand, lightly tapped the back of Jin Chanzi's hand with her jade finger, smiled and shook her head, saying, "Forget it... Stop counting, and leave."

"Thank you for the guidance, Bodhisattva."

Jin Chanzi bowed again, took two steps back, then turned around and slowly walked out of the main hall.

Behind him, Xia Zhiming raised his snake body from Qingxin's shoulder and glanced at the rosary tightly held in Jin Chanzi's hand. He felt that if he pinched it any further, the string of the beads would probably be broken.

Beside, Guanyin Bodhisattva saw this, but did not rush to transform back into her original form. She raised her hand and tapped Xia Zhiming's head, smiling and said, "Am I good-looking?"

Xia Zhiming lowered his head and rubbed Qingxin's cheek, then said with a smile: "Buddha, you know me. I have always thought that you are the most beautiful person in the world, but I am devoted to my Qingxin."

"Then...why is this old woman acting like a virgin?"

"No! Bodhisattva, please listen to my explanation!"

"Hmph~ I won't listen! I won't listen!"

"Buddha, please be normal... I'm scared!"

"You~ now you feel scared."

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head and in a flash she returned to her appearance, draped in white gauze and holding a jade bottle. She pointed with her orchid finger outside the main hall and asked with a smile, "What do you think of him?"

Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "Jin Chanzi's words made perfect sense to me."

Guanyin Bodhisattva blinked and said, "It's a pity that it's useless to say it."

Xia Zhiming was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment's consideration, he said, "The Buddha's heart is very strong."

"He's a stubborn ass."

"It still needs to be tempered."

Guanyin Bodhisattva chuckled: "I think it lacks a severe beating..."

Xia Zhiming spat out his snake tongue and said helplessly: "Buddha, you just need to listen to it, but please don't say it out loud, it's quite embarrassing."

Qingxin now knew that Xia Zhiming's thoughts had been heard by the Bodhisattva, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not say much at this time. Instead, she looked at the Mother of Mount Li and asked, "What do you think, Yuanjun?"

Lishan Laomu looked past the Bodhisattva and looked at Xia Zhiming, who was hanging his head on Qingxin's shoulder. She smiled and said, "The little snake is still so erratic, but his words are not unreasonable. That Jin Chanzi really needs to be tempered."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, naturally agreeing with Xia Zhiming's words.

At this moment, Xia Zhiming suddenly remembered something important. With a flick of his tail, he placed a pair of giant clams on the table of Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Bodhisattva, may I ask what treasure this is?"

"Giant clams are one of the seven treasures of Buddhism."

"But this is the salary given by the Buddha. It can't really be good-looking, right?"

"Of course not..."

Having said that, Guanyin Bodhisattva rarely kept the secret and opened the giant clam shell on the table. Seeing Xia Zhiming looking at her, she raised her hand, picked up the white snake, and threw it into the shell and covered it.

Next to her, Qing Xin saw her move and couldn't help but tilt her head. She saw the Bodhisattva handed her the giant clam again and chuckled, "You two don't like fighting, so this treasure is just right for you."

"I wonder what it does?"

"This treasure contains a mustard seed. It can only be opened from the outside. If you find it annoying, lock it inside."

"You don't have to turn it off, I won't bother him."

……

Chapter 146 White House, I’m back!

In the main hall, Guanyin Bodhisattva heard Qingxin's words, but smiled without saying anything.

Qingxin didn't ask any more questions and tried to open the shell, but found that the giant clam in her hand was tightly closed and could not be opened at all.

Qingxin tilted her head and was about to ask again when she saw the shell lid in her hand suddenly open.

Xia Zhi pushed open the lid with his tail, poked his head out of the shell, and said happily: "Qingxin, I like this treasure. It's like a portable palace inside. Can we call it the White House from now on?"

"It doesn't sound good..."

Qing Xin casually rejected it, but after realizing what was going on, she smacked her lips and said, "Zhi Ming, how did you get out?"

Xia Zhiming slid along the girl's wrist to Qingxin's shoulder, and said with a sly smile: "That's easy. I can change the door from being able to open from the outside to being able to open from the inside. Then I push the door again, and it will come out."

Qing Xin was suddenly speechless. Xia Zhiming said it easily, but unfortunately she couldn't figure out how he did it no matter how hard she tried. She could only put away the Giant Clam Palace and directly attribute the problem to her low level of cultivation.

Beside her, the Mother of Mount Li was slightly surprised at this, but then smiled and nodded in admiration, saying, "Little snake, you can actually learn the Dao Ancestor's method of opening the heavens?"

"I learned it when I was imprisoned by the Jade Emperor."

At this point, Xia Zhiming shrank his head and said, "Please don't blame me, Yuanjun. If it weren't for this giant clam that turned into a mustard seed, I would never have acted so recklessly."

It's no wonder he's timid. The Kaitian Method is actually a very versatile magical power. If other magical powers are to follow the laws of nature or find loopholes, then the most basic application of the Kaitian Method is to change the laws of nature into what you need and then follow the laws of nature.

Summary: A master at courting death.

Lishan Laomu and Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally also knew this truth. After listening to Xia Zhiming's words, they looked at each other and nodded at the same time with a slight smile.

In their impression, although Xia Zhiming's brain sometimes works a little weird, he won't cause any trouble, so they are still relieved.

At this time, as the three people and the snake played, the hall was gradually filled with three thousand Buddhas, countless Bodhisattvas, eight great Vajras, five hundred Arhats, and immortals from various islands. Everyone chatted from time to time, and the scene was very lively.

Until the Tathagata Buddha came with his disciples, sat upright on a lotus platform, and bestowed upon him a precious basin, saying: "I do not know the year or month, but now, on this day of the first full moon in the first month of autumn, I invite you to join me in this Ullambana Festival, to discuss the Way and the Buddha, and to broaden your knowledge. I hope you will not hesitate to contribute your wisdom."

All the guests in the audience stood up and praised.

After the Buddha finished speaking, his disciples, Sariputra and Jin Chanzi, sat down and held treasure bowls in their hands, scattering exotic flowers, fruits, and fine liquor.

Xia Zhiming and Qingxin were sitting at the top seats, so they didn't have to wait long. Sariputra quickly came to the man and the snake.

Sariputra bowed slightly, glanced at the man and the snake, then took out a pot of nectar and a basin of exotic fruits from the treasure bowl and placed them on the table. He bowed and chanted, "Please share this with the two donors."

Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming each nodded and returned the greeting, not intending to exchange too much pleasantries with Shariputra.

Qingxin glanced at the ginkgo, amla, custard apple and other exotic fruits with Buddhist characteristics on the table. After thinking for a while, she poured herself some wine and took a sip, then tilted her head slightly.

Xia Zhiming had no interest in Qingxin's shoulder, but when he saw her like this, he leaned over to taste the cup. It was light and soft at the entrance, neither warm nor cold, neither warm nor cold, neither bitter nor sweet.

Xia Zhiming took a sip and was at a loss for words. Finally, he managed to utter, "This nectar... is almost like Tao."

Guanyin Bodhisattva raised her jade hand and gently tapped the white snake's head, scolding it: "You white snake, you actually said that the Buddha gave you a pot of clear water."

"Buddha, you said this, not me."

"It's because you don't know my Buddha treasures that you have this idea, but I can't blame you."

"What's so special about this glass of water?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva raised her orchid finger, pinched a drop of water from her cup and placed it on the table. Then, hundreds of flowers bloomed and countless crystal nectars sprinkled on the flowers.

After doing all this, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "This water is pure glazed water. Just one drop can transform emptiness into reality, cultivate virtue, eliminate karma, and purify all the senses."

Xia Zhiming pretended to understand everything: "I see. What the Bodhisattva meant is - this water tastes like whatever you want it to taste like."

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but smile, shook her head and said with a smile: "You~"

Qing Xin grasped the white snake's vital points and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, saying softly, "Please don't blame me, Bodhisattva. Zhiming always likes to say strange things on purpose, probably to make you happy."

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and nodded when she heard this. Lishan Laomu, who was standing beside her, listened to their conversation and also praised them: "The little snake is indeed pleasing."

Seeing that the topic turned back to himself, Xia Zhiming didn't plan to say anything more. He leaned over to look at the cup in Qingxin's hand. After the glass-clear water turned dark brown and many bubbles emerged, he drank a few sips with satisfaction, and then -

Hiccup~

Qingxin was surprised: "Zhiming, you can hiccup?"

Xia Zhiming flicked his tail and urged, "Don't worry about it, Qingxin, come and have a taste of my cup of happy water."

Qing Xin looked at the dark brown nectar in the cup and drank it all in one gulp without thinking too much. Just as she was about to savor it, she felt...

Hiccup~

Xia Zhiming said happily: "How is it?"

Qing Xin rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Zhi Ming, you are making trouble again~"

"It's obviously delicious. Burping is also one of the pleasures of my happy water."

"It would be disrespectful."

"Alright alright."

At this time, after Shariputra and Jin Chanzi finished spreading the Dharma to the crowd and returned to the Buddha, after another round of drinking and chatting, they finally waited for the Tathagata to talk about the Dharma, explain the fundamentals, and point out the source.

I saw the Tathagata Buddha open his kind mouth, expound the Dharma, promote the righteous fruit, and lecture on the Three Vehicles and Five Aggregates. I saw - surrounded by heavenly dragons and colorful flowers raining down.

In the main hall, most of the immortals and Buddhas were immersed in it, shaking their heads, while some closed their eyes with a smile.

It's a pity that Xia Zhiming couldn't listen to the Dharma at all. However, Xia Zhiming himself had something to say about this issue -

He has also read countless Buddhist scriptures, including the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures such as the Shurangama Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, the Nirvana Sutra, and the Lotus Sutra. He has actually read them all.

After reading it, Xia Zhiming’s feeling about Buddhism is: when encountering a problem, first come up with a concept, and then use this concept to explain the problem.

To put it nicely, it is called practicing thoughts and talking about philosophy.

To put it bluntly, it's all empty talk and actually just sophistry.

The final conclusion is - it is better to use the word "Zen", which is simple, easy to understand and has profound meaning.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiming looked up and glanced at the immortals and Buddhas in the hall. Just as he was about to get into Qingxin's arms and take a good nap, he discovered:

The Buddha sat down, and a young monk with sweat all over his forehead and trembling red lips was frantically pinching his rosary. He opened his eyes slightly and looked into his eyes - it was Jin Chanzi.

He... couldn't listen anymore.
