Chapter 1763
"I just can't figure it out," Zhu Yanyi said, looking ahead. "I feel like Grandpa Yao is hiding something from me."
"So that's why you got angry at Old Yao when you first met him," Yan Aohan smiled slightly. He knew that given Zhu Yanyi's character, she wouldn't get angry just because she finally saw Old Yao. Even if Old Yao had given the life-saving medicine to someone else, Zhu Yanyi was clearly not the type to be petty.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Actually, I did it on purpose. If I hadn't gotten angry, she would definitely keep doing this."
Getting angry had a purpose, but it was also half a warning. After all, Old Yao had done things like this before, so Zhu Yanyi was naturally upset.
Yan Aohan chuckled softly. "Remember to go see Old Yao later. He was very worried."
"You've only been gone a few years and already forgotten my personality? It's only natural for her to worry," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.
Yan Aohan spoke gently. "Old Yao might have a secret in his heart. This secret could affect you, so he doesn't say anything."
"Do you know something?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan smiled slightly. "Do you remember? After you came to the capital, you stopped using the title 'Medical Buddha Girl.' First, you wanted to keep a low profile. Second, I consciously only promoted your medical skills, not your Buddhist nature."
"What's wrong with that?" Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly.
"There is Buddhism in the Tibetan region," Yan Aohan changed the subject again.
Zhu Yanyi was not used to Yan Aohan's jumping conversation. "Hurry up and explain clearly. With you talking like this, I really don't know what you want to say."
Yan Aohan said, "You and I are both from cultivation backgrounds. Cultivation is about cultivating the true self, generally focusing on the Dao, emphasizing human morality, cultivation, and temperament. In fact, besides cultivation, there is also Buddhist cultivation. Those who practice Buddhism are called Buddhist cultivators. They start as Buddhist cultivators from the beginning of cultivation. If they ascend, they enter the Buddhist Realm."
Zhu Yanyi was gradually understanding some basics of cultivation. "What does this have to do with me?"
"There is medicine in Buddhism, called Buddhist Medicine. You inherited the medical god lineage of the Daoist Azure Sovereign Qingdi, which conflicts somewhat with Buddhism," Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "Since you have the title 'Medical Buddha Girl,' plus your power of faith and karmic merit in this plane, naturally, some people hope you practice Buddhism instead of cultivation."
Yan Aohan couldn't explain everything clearly in a moment, but he could tell Zhu Yanyi part of the truth.
"Just because of the initial 'Medical Buddha Girl' title?" Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. "But I don't want to become a nun."
"No one is asking you to be a nun. Look at those female Bodhisattvas; how many have shaved heads? The Buddha is in the heart; that is the true Buddha. They want to save you, the person, not your hair," Yan Aohan said with a grin.
Zhu Yanyi blinked. "And then?"
"Then they will force you to agree. Then they want to choose a fixed place to settle. The only fixed foothold for Buddhism here is in the Tibetan region," Yan Aohan said, looking at Zhu Yanyi. "Although everyone knows that Buddhism and Daoism are not separate, some Buddhists like to separate them, believing that practicing Daoism and Buddhism are two different things, so they must be separated."
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi tilted her head. "Actually, I have always known that Buddhism and Daoism are not separate. Look at my hometown, Sicheng Town. There is a Guanyin Temple, and next to it is a Mingwang Hall. Whether in the Guanyin Temple or the Mingwang Hall, there are the Four Heavenly Kings, the Emperor of Literature, the God of Wealth, and Guan Yu. These are Daoist figures, yet they receive incense offerings in the same place. This shows that Buddhism and Daoism are not separate."
A faint helplessness appeared on Zhu Yanyi's face. "Why do some people still separate Buddhism?"
Yan Aohan smiled slightly. "Because these people are confused. They need to prove through some events that what they are doing is right. However, one thing I can be sure of is that they are not from this plane."
"From another plane?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan nodded. "Since I came to this plane, I have been paying attention to everything here. I know what kind of people are coming in. Recently, someone entered. He should be a Buddhist disciple. As the saying goes, every ruler has its length and shortness. Buddhist disciples are the same. Without inner realization, one will never know what true Buddhist cultivation is."
"So, all these things happening now are caused by this person?" Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. "What benefit does she get if I believe in Buddhism and practice it?"
"He values your medical skills and doesn't want you to enter the Dao through medicine," Yan Aohan guessed.
"I really want to see this person," Zhu Yanyi said with a cold smile. "She must be a self-righteous guy."
"This person dares not act directly here, but such a person will stir up trouble here. I suspect the Godfather may have reached some agreement with her," Yan Aohan said seriously, looking at Zhu Yanyi.
After Yan Aohan finished speaking, Zhu Yanyi pondered slightly. She believed what Yan Aohan said, but there was one thing she still didn't understand. "Why does that person value me so much?"
"Your karmic merit and power of faith," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "They don't know that your karmic merit and power of faith are from your past life to this life. For them, having someone with such karmic merit and power of faith is very good for Buddhist cultivation. As long as they absorb your karmic merit and power of faith, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"They want to use me as a furnace," Zhu Yanyi said with a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth.
"Something like that. But first, they need to make you willing. Before that, they want to stop you from entering cultivation," Yan Aohan said, laughing. They probably never imagined that the person beside Zhu Yanyi was a Daoist guide. Zhu Yanyi had already successfully entered cultivation through martial arts. Once she transformed into the void, she could directly ascend to become an immortal.
Seeing Yan Aohan's half-smiling expression, Zhu Yanyi understood his meaning. Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "It's a pity. They are destined to be disappointed. However, I can't let them down, right?"
Since they dared to plot against her, they must bear the consequences.
Yan Aohan nodded. "No matter what, since they dared to plot against you, it is only right for you to retaliate."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly, then looked at the sky. "Forget it. I'll go see Grandpa Yao."
"You're soft-hearted," Yan Aohan laughed.
"Half and half. I also want to know some things. Grandpa Yao shouldn't hide them from me anymore," Zhu Yanyi said. She now had the ability to deal with people in this plane, so she mainly didn't want Old Yao to hide things from her.
