Five minutes later, Ji Yan and Xu Zhuo met Master Zhenru in a quiet courtyard in the backyard of the Great Bodhi Temple.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xu Zhuo found that compared to when he appeared at the temple fair just now, Master Zhenru seemed to be a lot tired, his face was a little less ruddy, and even a trace of a strange aura that made him feel very uncomfortable in his body.

Xu Zhuo was just stuffy in his heart, but Ji Yan asked directly.

"Really like a master, it looks like you should be very tired, why don't you ...... Will we visit next time? ”

Xu Zhuo looked at Ji Yan in surprise.

Just now, she took a risk and wanted to get close to Master Zhenru, but now that she finally has such a good opportunity, is she going to let it go gently?

Ji Yan glanced at Xu Zhuo, got up and planned to leave.

"It doesn't matter." Master Zhenru smiled slightly, raised his hand and motioned for the two to sit down. "The two donors, please sit down and invite you to come, mainly ......" Master Zhenru turned to Xu Zhuo. There are some things I want to talk to this donor. ”

This time, Ji Yan looked at Xu Zhuo in surprise.

Look at what Master Zhenru meant, the two of them were fortunate enough to be summoned by Master Zhenru, but it was because of Xu Zhuo?

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

It is very likely that the summons of the master is because of the strange scene that happened at the temple fair just now.

"Master Zhenru, do you have anything you want to guide me?"

Master Zhenru looked Xu Yi up and down again, but closed his eyes again, and was silent for a while, then he opened his eyes again and asked Xu Zhuo: "Master Xu, Lao Guan Guan You have a lot of wisdom roots, and you have a relationship with my Buddha, and now I want to accept you as a disciple of Lao Gu, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhuo and Ji Yan's eyes widened in unison, their faces full of incredulity.

Xu Zhuo was okay, but Ji Yan was shocked, and a pair of beautiful eyes kept circling between Xu Zhuo and Master Zhenru, and her eyes were full of questions.

Who is Master Zhenru?

Xu Zhuo doesn't know very well, but in order to make this special report, Ji Yan, who has a deep understanding of the religious situation in Jianghuai City, is quite clear.

There was no exaggeration in what she said to Xu Zhuo before, Master Zhenru is not only in Jianghuai City, in Jiangnan Province, but also in the entire **** is the most famous religious master, and his reputation is extremely famous, and anyone related to religion will never have heard of this name.

Moreover, unlike other so-called "masters" who have made a name for themselves by relying on various deliberate religious activities or for certain political purposes, the true master is a truly profound Buddhist monk and holds a high position in the religious world.

The most important thing is that in many rumors, Master Zhenru has some very special skills, and it seems that there are abnormal people at all, which naturally makes his reputation a little more mysterious and more respectable.

With such a prestigious Dharma master, it would be difficult for ordinary people to say a word or two to him even if they wanted to meet him, but now as soon as he opened his mouth, he actually wanted to accept Xu Zhuo as a disciple?

Ji Yan almost slapped Xu Zhuo on the shoulder, making him agree immediately.

If Xu Zhuo becomes a disciple of Master Zhenru, it will be of great help to her to complete this special report!

Xu Zhuo blinked, and after a while, he opened his mouth and responded, "This...... Truly like a master, you ...... Why do you suddenly want to accept me as a disciple? This one...... I didn't think about it at all, and I had never been exposed to the Dharma before......"

"Buddhism doesn't care about profundity, it only cares about having or not having a root of wisdom. Those who do not have the root of wisdom, even if they have experienced the Dharma for decades, still do not know the essence of the Dharma. ”

It is really like the master said slowly, but the plain words have a strong persuasive power, which makes people involuntarily willing to believe.

However, although Xu Zhuo was willing to believe what the master said, he still shook his head firmly.

"This ...... Thank you for your kindness, but I'm ...... I don't have much interest in being a monk right now, I ...... I'm not married. ”

When it came to the end, Xu Zhuo glanced at Ji Yan next to him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, the master smiled knowingly and shook his head slightly.

"Master Xu, being a disciple of Lao Wei does not necessarily mean that you should be ordained a monk, as long as you are willing, you can also practice by worshipping under the name of Lao Qu and becoming a lay disciple. In this way, it will not prevent you from getting married, having children, and experiencing the reincarnation of red dust. ”

Hearing this, not only Ji Yan and Xu Zhuo, but even the little novice standing behind Master Zhenru couldn't help but have a slight expression on his face.

True to what kind of identity the master is, it is already a great blessing for that person to be willing to accept others as disciples, I can't imagine that he is still willing to surrender his conditions and only accept the other party as a lay disciple!

Ji Yan and the little novice's eyes were focused on Xu Zhuo's body with strange expressions.

What is it about this guy that attracts a true master?

Xu Zhuo didn't expect Master Zhenru to put forward such a good condition, and after being stunned for a while, he still shook his head.

"This ...... I'm really sorry, I'm not interested in studying the Dharma, ahem...... Failed your kindness, I ...... This ......"

Ji Yan and Xiao Shami didn't expect Xu Zhuo to refuse so simply, and there was a hint of "this guy toasts and doesn't eat and punishes wine" in their eyes when they looked at Xu Zhuo.

Master Zhenru looked indifferent, but there was a hint of regret on his face, but he still kept smiling.

"Since the donor Xu is unwilling, it is naturally inconvenient for the old man to force it. However, Lord Xu, you have a wisdom root, and the old man will not be mistaken, if you change your mind in the future, you can come to find the old man at any time. ”

Ji Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

If it is true that the master meant this, doesn't it mean that Xu Zhuo can come to him at any time in the future? That's great!

This time, Xu Zhuo naturally said that he couldn't refuse anything, so he could only smile and respond.

Besides, he also had doubts about the scene that happened at the temple fair just now, if it weren't for the fact that Ji Yan and the little novice were next to him now, he might have asked Master Zhenru directly.

However, since Master Zhenru said that he could come to him at any time in the future, there was no need to worry.

After Master Zhenru glanced at Xu Zhuo deeply, he turned to Ji Yan with a smile.

"This female benefactor, if the old man is not mistaken, you must have some questions to ask the old man?"

Hearing the tone of the true master, Ji Yan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Master Zhenru, I have a lot of questions for you, ...... you"

It's like a master stretches out a hand.

"Buddhism has clouds, and fate can't be too exhaustive, so the female benefactor, today I will only answer you five questions, please consider carefully."

Ji Yan was stunned, looked at the expression on Master Zhenru's face, and had to carefully examine a large number of questions in his head, and then asked the first question.

"Master Zhenru, it is said that you are over 100 years old this year, is this true?"

###

Half an hour later, Ji Yan and Xu Zhuo, who had unfinished expressions on their faces, walked out of the mountain gate of the Great Bodhi Temple.

"It's a shame that Master Zhenru only asked me five questions. If I had to ask fifty, I would have completed my work for today. Ji Yan glanced back at the Great Bodhi Temple, which occupied almost the entire mountain, and said in a regretful tone.

"Okay, it's already good to be able to meet Master Zhenru smoothly, and to be able to interview him, and let him answer your five questions, don't be insatiable." Xu sneered.

"I'm just talking......" Ji Yan's eyes rolled, and her gaze wandered, falling on Xu Zhuo. Hey, Xu Zhuo, why don't you agree? ”

"Promise what?" Seeing Ji Yan's joking look, Xu Zhuo immediately understood and shook his head vigorously. "What a joke! I don't want to be a monk! ”

"But as the master said, you can be a lay disciple, and it won't affect your marriage and children."

"Then I don't want to. Becoming his disciple, I still have to hold those big Buddhist scriptures and recite them every day, I have a headache when I think about it, so I don't do it. ”

As if thinking of Xu Zhuo's appearance of holding a Buddhist scripture and reciting the Buddha, Ji Yan sneered, and her face suddenly seemed to be in full bloom, shining brightly.

"Xu Zhuo, do you want to try shaving your head and experience it in advance?"

Xu Zhuo glared at her, didn't bother to pay attention to her, and strode towards the parking lot at the bottom of the mountain with two large bags full of camera equipment and interview equipment.

Ji Yan behind him quickly caught up, and suddenly another question popped up.

"By the way, Xu Zhuo, just now you told Master Zhenru that you didn't want to be a monk because you didn't want to be a monk because you weren't married, why did you look at me?"

Xu Yi stumbled under his feet and almost fell headlong.

"I said Miss Ji, you were a girl in that place just now, okay? I don't look at you, do I want to see that little monk? Or do you want to look at it like a master? I'm not GAY! ”

"Maybe? Or do you actually mean something to me in your heart? If so, tell me directly, for the sake of how long we've worked together, maybe I can give you a chance to pursue me. ”

Xu Zhuo picked up the two big bags, with a black face, without saying a word, and strode towards the foot of the mountain, completely ignoring Ji Yan, who let out a chuckle like a silver bell behind him.

###

At this time, in a quiet courtyard in the backyard of the Great Bodhi Temple, the little novice who had sent Xu Zhuo and the others away had just returned, but he saw that Master Zhenru had a gray face and blue lips, and he was immediately shocked.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

A little bit of golden light from the depths of Master Zhenru's body, the Master Zhenru is reflected as if bathed in a cloud of golden light, from the outside, it looks like those Buddha statues wrapped in Buddha light.

The golden light didn't last long, and Master Zhenru's face quickly improved under the golden light, and after a while, it returned to a rosy appearance, but his expression was a little more tired than just now.

"I'm fine." Master Zhenru slowly opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and smiled to comfort the little novice. "It's just a matter of using some mana, and it's good to practice for a while. Jueyuan, go and tell Jue Ming that I will retreat and recuperate during this time. ”

"Oh." The little novice, known as Jueyuan, nodded in response, turned around and took two steps, but suddenly turned his head again. "Master, what if the Xu Shi Master suddenly came to see him just now?"

"It's okay, if he comes, just let him come to see me."

Jueyuan looked at Master Zhenru in wonder, still not understanding why he valued the male benefactor who didn't seem to be special at all, even if he was at a critical juncture in the retreat.

But he didn't ask too much, nodded, and turned to leave.

After Jue was far away, Master Zhenru raised his head slightly, looked at the direction of the mountain behind the Great Bodhi Temple, and there was a trace of worry in his expression.

"The demonic energy is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know if I can catch up with ......"

After looking at it for a while, he turned his head to look in the direction of the mountain gate, but there was a smile on his face.

"The fate has been decided, donor, you can't avoid it."
