Chapter 1583: Facing one's true heart and deciding to return to secular life
Even he did not expect that the hatred squeezing in the soul girl's heart would reach such an extent that she would even abandon her path and cut off her meridians to block her path to becoming a Buddha.
But the more this happened, and after seeing the miserable situation of the soul girl with his own eyes, Master Kongwu became more and more guilty, and he could not calm down for a long time. The cracks in his Zen heart became deeper and deeper, and it was no longer possible to maintain a transparent state.
In such a state, let alone continuing to meditate and practice, I am afraid that there is a risk of inner demons invading at any time.
Memories from his early years quietly emerged in his mind. Master Kongwu couldn't hold it in any longer. He quickly stepped forward to support the soul girl's weak body, and said in a guilt-filled tone:
"I admit that I was sorry for you when I decided to escape into Buddhism, but why are you so stupid? Is it worth it...?"
At this moment, becoming a Buddha or an immortal is just a cloud!
All rules and regulations have long been forgotten!
Kongwu, who has always practiced Zen diligently and ignored worldly affairs, finally faced his true heart for the first time!
Looking at the handsome face so close at hand, Qi Ruotong, who was already dying, could not help but have a flash of brightness in his eyes.
Maybe she felt something when she was dying. She couldn't help but stretched out her jade fingers, gently brushed the familiar cheek, and murmured in a slightly melancholy tone:
"You are still the same person you were before. You have never changed at all. Even though you can deceive the world, you cannot deceive yourself! Do you really think I can't see it? From the moment you escaped into Buddhism, you have already broken the precepts. How can we become a Buddha?"
"Moreover, it is a life to overcome thorns and thorns, and ask about the path to immortality. It is also a life to act spontaneously and unrestrainedly. Is it really worth it? Does it really matter...?"
As she spoke, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of the soul girl's lips.
There is sadness, relief, and joy.
The ray of tenderness that he had never been able to obtain also quietly melted away the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years.
It turns out that what she wanted was never immortality. Even if she later escaped to the ghost realm and became a spirit girl, it was just to get closer to her sweetheart.
It's a pity that she has struggled for hundreds of years for this answer, but she remains the same as always without any regrets!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the wing fell into silence.
No one expected that the ghost scolding girl, who looked like a snake with a heart full of snakes, would actually reveal her true feelings like this, and that there was so much unknown pain and suffering hidden behind her.
How much perseverance does this require for hundreds of years?
Even Murong Xuanying and Princess Peacock felt the same way in their hearts, and secretly admired him.
Even Qin Tian on the side was secretly surprised, and was obviously shocked by the soul girl's persistence.
Talking about what love is in the world, it makes life and death mutually agreeable!
In fact, he had several opportunities to kill the ghost girl on the spot, but for the sake of Master Kongwu, he finally chose to show mercy.
Looking back on the past now, I can't help but feel happy secretly.
Only Su Wanyi, who had always been silent, couldn't help but feel slightly startled, and a hint of understanding flashed through her beautiful eyes.
...........
And these remarks, for Kong Wu, who was already mentally disturbed, spoke every word and went straight to his heart!
At this moment, he had a vague intuition, as if he had missed something crucial, and an inexplicable feeling of regret came over him!
Looking at the fragile look of the beautiful woman in his arms, and thinking of the many hardships she had gone through, his face finally showed deep guilt:
"I'm sorry, I failed you! Don't worry... I won't let anything happen to you...!"
As he spoke, Master Kongwu couldn't help but feel anxious secretly. He quickly took out a large amount of Buddhist holy medicine, obviously preparing to do his best to save the beauty's life. He looked completely in a state of chaos.
However, seeing this situation, Murong Xuanying and others all rolled their eyes. Finally, Qin Tian kindly reminded:
"Ahem! With Daoist Fellow Qi's current mortal body, if the master feeds him with Buddhist holy medicine, he will probably explode and die immediately!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Master Kongwu was shocked and became a little at a loss.
"What...? What...what should I do?"
Looking at her sweetheart's stunned look, the soul girl couldn't help but have a bitter smile on her lips, but her eyes became softer.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian could only step forward slowly, waved his sleeves and took out an ordinary healing elixir, shattered it with true energy and mixed it into the spiritual spring water, and then explained in a solemn tone:
"In the current state of Fellow Daoist Qi, due to the collapse of the Nascent Soul and the serious loss of vitality, he simply cannot withstand the power of high-grade elixirs. He can only use low-grade elixirs combined with good spiritual spring water to nourish the meridians to achieve the purpose of slowly recovering from injuries. This way Maybe you still have two hundred years to live!”
At this point, Qin Tian stopped talking, but the meaning was very obvious.
After hearing this, Master Kongwu couldn't help but turn pale, and the guilt in his eyes became more intense, and he froze on the spot.
On the contrary, Qi Ruotong was quite calm and must have accepted everything calmly.
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but secretly sigh, and simply exited the room with a tacit understanding, preparing to provide the unfortunate couple with a rare opportunity to be alone.
However, at this moment, Master Kongwu suddenly raised his head, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and said in a calm and steady tone:
"Okay! Since I have failed you in this life, I will simply return to secular life and accompany you for the rest of my life. If becoming a Buddha requires being ruthless and unrighteous, then I, Zhao Zhiyu, can't become a Buddha!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock!
Without witnessing it with one's own eyes, who would have believed that the reincarnated Buddha, the most talented monk in Honglian Temple, would actually return to secular life for the sake of a ghostly woman?
If this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will immediately cause a huge uproar! Abbot Mingkong was probably so angry that he vomited blood!
At this moment, the wooden fish in Monk Huihong's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he couldn't help but wailed sadly:
"Elder brother, please calm down and don't be impulsive! If you leave, who will copy scriptures for me in the future...?"
Qi Ruotong, who was already looking down on life and death, was stunned and stunned, with deep disbelief on his face.
After he reacted, a bright color quietly flashed in his eyes, but he still stubbornly spoke to persuade:
"Hmph! You such a heartless monk, don't stop talking so eloquently here. You should just pursue your path to becoming a Buddha. I, Qi Ruotong, don't need anyone's pity...!"
