Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

That system is such a reliable old man! It never lets you down when it matters most!

What Su Li didn't expect was...

The monk in front of me actually had feelings for his master?!

Outrageous!

It's outrageous!

How can there be a woman who likes to pick her toes all day long, then deliberately smells her fingers afterward, and then intentionally farts loudly from time to time, asking others if she smells good?

This is incredible.

Does the other person have such unique tastes?

But then again.

Perhaps one's master is rather reserved in front of outsiders.

In this way, Su Li was able to come to a conclusion.

After all, her master had an excellent figure and was extremely beautiful. If she were to act reserved and pretend to be a lady from a wealthy family, she could indeed fool quite a few people...

Su Li also understood why Lei Yin Temple was willing to let her in.

In Buddhism, flowers bloom and wither, and all things arise and cease due to causes and conditions.

They probably guessed that Master Chanxin's demonic possession was due to his own master.

As a disciple of Long Yueqing, my arrival here might be a kind of cause and effect, a destiny predetermined. Perhaps my arrival can help Chanxin and Leiyin Temple escape this calamity.

But they were all wrong.

Master Chanxin had long since let go of the love he had in his youth, and he did not become possessed by demons because of his master.

Regardless, Su Li's feelings were still complicated because the other party even wanted to give up Buddhism and Taoism because of his master.

If the other party knew the true nature of their master, one wonders if Master Chanxin would regret his youthful infatuation.

"May I ask who you are, benefactor?"

Just as Su Li felt sorrow for Chan Xin, Chan Xin in front of Su Li suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.

Holy crap!

Su Li was so frightened that his body trembled.

“Amitabha, benefactor, it is not good to curse people casually. Being kind in speech is also a kind of merit.”

Chanxin smiled slightly, looking extremely kind, showing no sign of being on the verge of demonic possession.

"Master Chanxin...?"

Su Li asked warily.

Su Li couldn't figure out what kind of situation Chan Xin was in. Was he about to fall into demonic possession, or was Chan Xin still normal?

However, Su Li quickly realized that it didn't really matter what kind of state Chan Xin was in.

If Master Chanxin had truly fallen into demonic possession, then I wouldn't have been able to leave alive either.

"Junior Su Li greets Master Mingbai."

Su Li stood up and bowed to Chan Xin.

Chanxin was taken aback at first, then his smile deepened: "Please sit down, Benefactor Su."

Su Li did not stand on ceremony and sat down in front of Chan Xin.

“Benefactor Su carries the aura of the Buddhist teachings of my Leiyin Temple. Since Benefactor Su was able to come here, they must have sent him here.”

Presumably, Chan Lian and Chan Min have already informed Benefactor Su about me.

"Yes."

Su Li nodded.

"The other masters have already informed us about Master Chanxin's matter."

Chanxin had some doubts: "Forgive my bluntness, but in my opinion, Benefactor Su's cultivation level is not very high. Why did Chanlian and the others allow Benefactor Su to come in?"

This is irresponsible towards Su's life.

"Actually, I insisted on coming. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have lived much longer anyway."

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Su Li told Chan Xin everything about his contract with the Demon Blade Blood Fiend.

When Chanxin learned that Su Li was actually Long Yueqing's disciple, his eyes lit up slightly:

"Amitabha, I never expected that Benefactor Su is actually Benefactor Long's disciple."

Chan Xin clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect.

"This old monk also vaguely understands why Chan Lian and the others allowed you to come in."

Actually, I, this old monk, also have some connection with your master..."

Over the next half hour, Chanxin recounted how he had pursued Long Yueqing when he was young.

Monks do not lie, so what Su Li heard from this Master Chanxin were all the facts of what happened back then.

However, when Su Li heard Chan Xin describe her master as a "gentle," "elegant," "beautiful," and "comfortable" woman who was almost perfect, Su Li's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Su Li knew that this was indeed Master Chanxin's true impression of his master...

But... aside from his "good figure" and "beautiful appearance," which of the things Chanxin said about his master were true...?

Actually, Su Li could understand it.

After all, he was her first crush...

Who hasn't had a first crush?

Although you may gradually let go of your first crush over time, their image may become more and more perfect.

It's like a bottle of Shaoxing wine; the longer you keep it in your heart, the sweeter it becomes.

Therefore, Su Li did not intend to destroy Chan Xin's impression of his master.

“Benefactor Su…”

Seeing that Su Li remained silent, Chan Xin slowly spoke.

"Please ask Master Su to tell the monks of Leiyin Temple to leave here as soon as possible."

Then, with my last shred of wit, I will perish along with the magic array of Raiyuji Temple.

……

[I'm going back to Xiamen tomorrow, but it's going to rain heavily there. Please, please, don't let my flight be delayed! Please!]

My trip is over. I'll resume regular updates tomorrow.

I spent the whole day catching a flight and managed to write 3,000 words in my spare time, but it's not enough for 4,000... so I'll hold off on posting it for now.

The trip is over.

Chengdu is a great place. The people of Chengdu are very hospitable, the place is fun, and there is a lot of delicious food. It's a very pleasant place.

Now that I'm back, it's time to get back to work.

Chapter 509 Perfect Ascension Realm (4000 words, two chapters combined)

For Chanxin, Su Li's appearance was indeed a relief.

"To be honest, Benefactor Su, I am in very poor condition right now. When I was trying to break through to the peak of the Ascension Realm, I suddenly had a doubt."

And it was this slight doubt that gradually grew in my mind.

Now, it has become a kind of inner demon.

I tried my best to suppress it, but the more I suppressed it, the more this doubt eroded my heart.

The reason why I, the old monk, still have some rationality is because I have sealed my mind with a secret method.

However, this lockdown has its limitations, and once it ends, the backlash will be enormous.

If nothing unexpected happens, after Benefactor Su leaves, and in a day or two, this old monk should fall into demonic possession.

Fortunately, Benefactor Su arrived here.

If it weren't for Benefactor Su, the entire Leiyin Temple would probably have perished along with me.

"If Benefactor Su simply goes out and tells them that I am beyond saving, and then they activate the Thunderclap Temple's magic array to eliminate me, then Thunderclap Temple will be spared, and I will not have committed such a heinous crime."

Su Li could understand Chan Xin's request.

Indeed, the best course of action now is to leave the secret realm immediately and then relay Chanxin's words to the monks of Leiyin Temple.

Finally, the monks of Raiyuji Temple will activate a magic array to erase the secret realm of Chanshin.

Master Chanxin will also perish completely along with this secret realm.

However, Su Li felt that it wasn't time to take that final step yet.

"If it really comes to that, then I will go out immediately and convey your words to Master Chanxin."

However, I feel that Master doesn't need to give up at this point.

Su Li first agreed to the other party's request to put their mind at ease, and then Su Li expressed her own intentions.

“I do not understand Buddhism, but if you do not mind, Master, you may tell me your doubts.”

Perhaps my humble insights can offer you some inspiration, Master.

Hearing Su Li's words, Chan Xin hesitated for a few moments before nodding.

In truth, Su Li had little confidence in resolving the other party's doubts, since the other party was a highly accomplished monk, and the doubts in his heart must involve very profound issues.

Su Li brought this up entirely out of a desperate, last-ditch effort.

After all, I come from Blue Ocean Star, a planet of information overload. What I learn in a day online might be equivalent to what a farmer in ancient times learned in ten years.

I've learned a little bit about life philosophies and other philosophical topics that I've read online.

What if I could actually offer Master Chanxin some inspiration?

The reason Chanxin nodded was not because she believed Su Li could really help her.

Chan Xin didn't want to waste Su Li's kindness.

Furthermore, in Chanxin's view, it's appropriate to let this benefactor Su do his part.

Afterwards, this benefactor Su will feel better, at least in his heart he won't feel regret for "not helping someone in distress" or "if I had reached out back then, perhaps the outcome would have been better."

"Please take a look, Benefactor Su."

Chan Xin turned his head to the side.

Following Chanxin's gaze, Su Li saw a towering tree.

The tree is Bodhi.

To be honest, Su Li rarely sees such a large Bodhi tree.

The Bodhi tree that Su Li saw in the Dragon Palace was only half the size of this Bodhi tree in terms of both height and circumference.

"What's wrong with this Bodhi tree?"

Su Li asked in confusion.

Is there something wrong with this Bodhi tree? Isn't it growing quite well?

Chanxin shook his head and sighed softly:

"This Bodhi tree was planted by the first abbot of Raiyin Temple, Master Boshin."

It has a history of seven million years.
