Chapter 134: Past Lifetime and This Lifetime (2/2)
At a bustling location in Fire Beacon City, a girl wearing a faint blue monastic dress was crying loudly in the street. She was only around fourteen or fifteen and had her long black hair ornamented with a jade pin.
Nalan Xuejian’s skin was very white; it emitted a touch of brilliance with a soft buddhist presence. Sometimes, she was as cold as ice; sometimes, there was a simplistic naivety hinting towards cuteness. Other times, she had a solemn sacred air like a female bodhisattva.
One person actually had six different temperaments. Her temperaments varied depending on the eyes of different onlookers.
This was because of the six activated Heavenly Buddhist Essences inside her body, causing her to step towards the six desires of the buddhist realm.
“Girl, if you can’t even slash away the most basic lust, then you will have a great tribulation in the future while cultivating.”
Monk Jiu Rou took a big gulp of his wine and continuously sighed while saying: “I have already read his fortune. The boy only thinks of one woman in his heart, and there is no chance he will like another girl. You should quickly forget about him and learn the “Mortal Life Ancient Scripture” — the supreme sacred heritage of my buddhist order.”
“So he likes me?” Nalan Xuejian pulled Monk Jiu Rou’s shirt sleeve with glimmering eyes and batting lashes.
Why is this girl so crazy in love?
Monk Jiu Rou sighed once again. He shook his head and replied: “According to the fortune, there are signs of past and present lifetimes. The cycle of life and death is extremely chaotic and is cut off by the power of fate. I have never seen such a strange fortune like this, and I cannot see who the woman is. However, I am absolutely certain that it is not you.”
“He called me his wife, don’t be spouting nonsense.” Nalan Xuejian retorted.
“A man can call any beautiful woman his wife!” Monk Jiu Rou replied.
“But… but I already have a physical relationship with him.” Nalan Xuejian started to blush a little bit.
“A man could have a physical relationship with any beautiful woman!” Monk Jiu Rou could only sigh.
Nalan Xuejian stomped her feet and angrily exclaimed: “Are you just going to deny everything I say?”
“Girl, I am simply trying to reason with you. Even if you don’t follow the buddhist path, you still shouldn’t marry Feng Feiyun. I prefer you marrying a dog over Feng Feiyun.” Monk Jiu Rou replied.
“Do you hate him this much?” Nalan Xuejian inquired.
“I never hated him, and I even praised and valued him a bit. However, this and that are two different matters. Unless he could cut off his obsession, he will otherwise never be able to like you. By being too close to him, your future will absolutely be torturous. Why must you do this to yourself?”
Even though Monk Jiu Rou was very vulgar and rude to others, he knew the proper propriety when talking with Nalan Xuejian.
Nalan Xuejian naturally did not believe him and felt that Monk Jiu Rou was only trying to make her want to become a nun, to walk on a loveless road towards buddhism.
“Buddha says that there is karma in the past and present life. In this life, if you truly really love someone but he doesn't like you, it is because, in the previous life, he really truly loves you but you didn’t like him. The debt of one’s previous life will be repaid in this life. And the debt of this life will be repaid in the next.”
At the moment, how could Nalan Xuejian listen to Monk Jiu Rou’s words? She couldn’t help but to exclaim impatiently: “The dao path cultivates for this life, and the buddhist path cultivates for the next. I heard that I was a beautiful and cute bodhisattva in my last life, so I will have endless karmic beneficence in this lifetime. I am willing to lose all of this good karma just to have a beautiful mortal love…”
Before she could finish speaking, Monk Jiu Rou immediately closed her mouth and scolded: “Nonsense! You cannot be spouting these words randomly in the future.”
“Boom!”
A wave of evil aura soared all the way to the sky and covered all of Fire Beacon City!
Monk Jiu Rou slowly released his hand and looked towards the murderous black clouds in the sky to say: “Xiao Nuolan is really coming. She would not give up until the Buddhist Jade Bead is hers. We need to first find a place to hide.”
Monk Jiu Rou looked around and suddenly, a pavilion with festive lights attracted his gaze. It had red columns with green tiles and there were seven levels. There were also countless women wearing colorful dresses with smiles on their faces as if they were fairies in a heavenly palace.
Wow… They really dressed in an enchanting manner!
Supreme Beauty Pavilion!
“No matter how high of a cultivation or how powerful her spirit awareness is, she absolutely will not be able to guess our hiding place, hehe!” Monk Jiu Rou grinned and pulled Nalan Xuejian in one hand with a big wine jar in the other and walked towards the Supreme Beauty Pavilion.
