Master Zhenru's status in the entire Jianghuai City and even in the entire religious circles of Jiangnan Province is not trivial, and now his sudden decision not to participate in any secular affairs will undoubtedly cause a violent shock in the religious circles of the entire Jiangnan Province.

Moreover, the Great Bodhi Temple can be unique on Baolian Mountain and become the top one among nearly 100 temples, which is really like a master.

It is no exaggeration to say that Master Zhenru can be regarded as the pillar of the Great Bodhi Temple.

Now, if he decides not to participate in secular affairs, it means that the Great Bodhi Temple will suddenly lose a huge pillar, and the impact on the Great Bodhi can be imagined.

Such a major decision involving countless people can never be made by a master in a hot mind, and there must be another hidden secret.

This question immediately stimulated Ji Yan's strong curiosity and exploration as a journalist**.

However, no matter how much she asked, Master Zhenru just kept silent.

"Master Ji, do you remember the last time you asked me if Lao Wei was over 100 years old, do you remember the answer given by Lao Gao?" Master Zhenru suddenly asked Ji Yandao.

"Ah...... You replied that you were over 100 years old, and I was amazed that your old man was over 100 years old, and his body was still so good, and his spirit was so good, and I also asked you how to cultivate and maintain your body. Ji Yan was stunned for a moment and responded.

"Hehe, the old man is nothing more than practicing the Dharma diligently."

"!" Xu Zhuo on the side secretly retorted in his heart.

If you are just "practicing the Dharma diligently", as other monks say, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to maintain the physical and mental state of a true master at the age of 100.

He was able to have this extraordinary physique, obviously because he practiced the exercises of the Sumeru Mountain Gate, which is comparable to ordinary people.

Xu Zhuo was slandering in his heart, and Master Zhenru over there still continued to explain without hesitation.

"When he was practicing Buddhism a few days ago, he suddenly discovered that although he was over 100 years old and considered to be a profound Buddha in the eyes of the world, in fact, he still could not understand many of the essence of Buddhism, and he was still far from the Dharma. As a result, the old man was enlightened, and the worldly disturbances made it impossible for the old man to meditate and practice, but it was a lot of time in vain. Since the old man is already over 100 years old, why not take advantage of the fact that he has not yet returned to the embrace of the Buddha and devote himself to cultivation? If you can gain more understanding before you die, it will be in vain. ”

As the master said, he looked like a monk who had seen through the world, and both Ji Yan and Rego were stunned, and even nodded involuntarily in agreement.

But Xu Zhuo couldn't help but pout.

The devil believes it!

What do you say to give birth to enlightenment, to practice the Dharma in stealth?

Xu Zhuo bet that if it weren't for what had happened in the past two days, Master Zhenru would never have made this decision all of a sudden.

You must know that his decision is not only related to him alone, but also directly or indirectly affects countless people, how can it be so easy to make a sudden decision.

And to be able to make such a major decision in just two or three days......

"It must be Mount Meru." Xu Zhuo quickly made a judgment in his heart.

Unless it is a cultivation sect that is beyond the mundane like the Sumeru Mountain Sect, it is possible to force the true master to make a decision so simply or even urgently.

"But if it's really like the master is obviously good, why did the Sumeru Mountain Gate suddenly let him quit?" Xu Zhuo is still full of doubts about this.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhuo could only attribute the reason to what happened that night.

Then a large black cloud enveloped the entire Baolian Mountain, and it was obvious that it was heading for the Great Bodhi Temple, which shows that Master Zhenru was the first to bear the brunt.

That black cloud is not a good way at first glance, and the true master may be the pawn left here by the Sumeru Mountain Gate to deal with this black cloud.

Now that the Sumeru Mountain Gate suddenly withdrew Master Zhenru from the public eye, it may be related to the confrontation between Master Zhenru and Heiyun that night.

But Xu Zhuo is still a little puzzled by this.

That black cloud was obviously accepted by him using the god list later, and in the end it failed to cause any harm to the Great Bodhi Temple.

From the point of view of the Great Bodhi Temple or the Sumeru Mountain Gate, Master Zhenru can be said to have done an extremely good job, and it is impossible to be punished for it.

"Hmm...... If you don't get punished, is it exalted? Xu Zhuo looked at Master Zhenru, who had a hint of relief and lightness in his indifferent expression, and felt that his guess should be correct.

The Sumeru Mountain Gate made Master Zhenru withdraw from the public eye, perhaps because Master Zhenru made contributions, so he was assigned a higher position, passed down more advanced cultivation exercises, and so on......

In short, this should be a good thing for Master Zhenru, otherwise he wouldn't seem so relaxed.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo patted Ji Yan on the shoulder, stopped her from continuing to ask, and said to Master Zhenru: "Anyway, Master Zhenru, congratulations." It's also a good thing for you to be able to get rid of mundane things. ”

Zhenru Master laughed: "It's still Lord Xu who understands the old man's intentions." Master Xu, what did you think about the first proposal that Lao Wei made to you? ”

Xu Zhuo didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he turned the firepower of Master Zhenru around, and he was immediately embarrassed.

"This ...... I'm sorry, but I'm still not interested in studying the Dharma, and I'm sorry to live up to your kindness. ”

"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to practice Buddhism, but you want to step into the path of cultivation, in fact, Qingshui Sect is also a good place to go. ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhuo looked at Master Zhenru in amazement, but saw that the smile on his face seemed to have a deep meaning.

"Does he know that the Qingshui Sect once invited me to join?" Xu Zhuo's heart was full of doubts.

"Hey, Xu Zhuo, what is the Qingshui Sect?" Ji Yan on the side couldn't bear it anymore and asked Xu Zhuo directly. "Why did I suddenly find out that you seem to be hiding a lot of secrets. First Master Zhenru wants to accept you as a disciple, and then what kind of Qingshui Sect is this...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Who doesn't have a secret." Xu Zhuo glanced at her, avoided her question, and then turned to Master Zhenru and said, "Thank you Master for your concern, as for the Qingshui Sect...... I don't have any ideas for the time being. ”

Master Zhenru looked at Xu Zhuo and nodded slightly. "Now that you have made a decision, the old man is inconvenient to say. As long as you have firm beliefs and devote yourself to cultivation, then no matter where you are, you can achieve the great way. ”

Rego, who hadn't made much noise since he came in, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Decheng Dao?" Zhenru master, isn't this a Taoist statement, you are a Buddhist master, how can you say that? ”

Xu Zhuo looked at Rego with some amusement, thinking that this guy had finally found a chance to interject, and it seemed that he couldn't hold it back.

"The so-called cultivation is ultimately only for the sake of attaining the Great Dao, which makes no difference between Buddhism and Taoism, and even the Confucian world, and even the three thousand evil paths, the purpose of all practitioners is the same, the same is to explore the mystery of heaven and earth, and then become a Buddha and attain the Tao."

Although Master Zhenru was explaining to Rego, Xu Zhuo knew very well that he was clearly explaining to himself.

But looking at the way the master explained to Rego in a serious way, Xu Zhuo couldn't help but want to laugh.

If Master Zhenru knew that Rego, who was sitting opposite him at this time, was possessed by a real Heavenly Court God, he didn't know what his expression should be?

Thinking of the Stove God on Rego's body, Xu Zhuo suddenly remembered the true purpose of visiting Master Zhenru this time, and hurriedly stopped Rego from asking further questions, and explained the intention to Master Zhenru.

"Oh? Specializing in French cuisine, but now you want to promote Chinese cuisine? Master Zhenru looked at Rego again, smiled and nodded. Very well, it seems that he is indeed a person with a real passion for cooking. However, when it comes to vegetarian masters, Lao Gao doesn't dare to specialize, but he just studies vegetarian dishes a little on weekdays. ”

"How so!" Seeing that Master Zhenru had the intention to discuss, Rego immediately became excited. "In the entire Jiangnan Province, as long as you talk about vegetarian food, you will inevitably be mentioned as Master Zhenru. I've heard about you for a long time, and now I can ......."

Xu Zhuozhen didn't see that the master was really like Rego said, he had a strong attainment in materials, and he also had a strong interest in cooking, and he was able to discuss with Rego at the Michelin-starred chef level, and even pointed out Rego from time to time.

Xu Zhuo and Ji Yan were a little interested at first, but then the two became more and more professional, and they listened a little boring.

And the reason why Xu Zhuo is still listening patiently is just to verify another idea.

When Rego cooks all over his body, he will exude the divine brilliance that belongs to the Stove God, so what happens when he just discusses?

It turned out that as Rego and Master Zhenru discussed more and more deeply, Rego's expression became more and more excited and focused, and he really began to shine with a golden divine light.

It's just that compared to when he was officially cooking, the divine light is obviously much weaker now.

From this phenomenon, Xu Zhuo can finally determine that the Stove God possessed by Rego will only manifest when Rego is doing cooking-related things.

"It seems that if you want to perfect the divinity and godhead of the Stove God in Rego, you still have to start between him and cooking. You say, don't you? Iron pillars? ”

"There is not enough information to give an accurate answer."

"Come on, I'm just talking to you casually, I didn't expect you to give me the right answer."

"Okay."

While observing the changes in the divine light on Rego's body, Xu Zhuo was still observing Master Zhenru's reaction at the same time.

There was one more thing he needed to confirm.

The divine light on Rego's body was obvious to him, and Ji Yan proved that ordinary people shouldn't be able to see it, so can a cultivator like Master Zhenru see it?
