"What does this mean?" the old bald man asked. She was once a great Buddhist master with the dharma name Wisdom. However, due to the turmoil of the times, religion was implicated, so she had secluded herself here. She believed in Tianyuan more than anyone else. Possessing knowledge of metaphysics, she could calculate a person's fate to some extent. But just now, when she observed Zhu Yanyi’s physiognomy, she found that her face was covered by a layer of golden light. This indicated that the Heavenly Dao was protecting her.
Xie Zhong looked at them and said, "Something happened at the Guanyin Temple." He then recounted the events at the temple. Those present listened with amazement. If anyone else had said this, they would never have believed it. But Xie Zhong never lied. What he experienced and saw with his own eyes was undoubtedly true.
The old bald man chanted a Buddhist name and then said, "There was once a legend of the Medical Buddha Maiden. She healed the world and purified people with Buddhism. If Ani is truly recognized as the Medical Buddha Maiden, her fortune will be profound. But the prerequisite is that she must survive safely." She continued, "I observed Ani’s face, and it was covered by golden light. This means two things: first, she was a good person in her past life; second, she is favored by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, her fate cannot be seen through by mortals." With this, the old bald man looked at Xie Zhong. "Old Xie, it won’t be easy for you to protect her. But if you protect her well, it will definitely benefit your family."
"That is also why I brought her here," Xie Zhong said, smiling at everyone. "How long has it been since you took disciples? It must be boring here. Why not take a disciple?"
Old Chun pointed at Xie Zhong. "I see why you brought your granddaughter this time. So, I want this disciple."
"Old Chun, don’t take her alone. This is a case of 'first come, first served,'" Old Yao laughed. "Traditional Chinese medicine is not easy to pass on. She has this talent, and we must not waste it."
"You can also learn some Buddhism. Having medical skills is good, but some people still need their souls purified. You cannot follow me into monastic life, but I can take you as a lay disciple," Master Wisdom, the old bald man, spoke up.
"I agree with Old Yao’s idea of sharing. We several families have secluded ourselves here. It is rare to meet someone with such talent. Let’s teach her together," Old Zhang said.
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed. Old Zhan directly said, "It is settled then. Ani, please serve us tea."
Seeing this, Xie Zhong laughed. "Ani, serve tea to your several masters. You can still call them Grandpa, but they will be your masters from now on, understand?"
Zhu Yanyi never expected such an opportunity. She nodded. Although she already had the Azure Sovereign Qingdi as her master, this was different from the people in front of her. So, she nodded again. Old Zhang’s wife, Old Chang, brewed tea. Zhu Yanyi served tea one by one, her expression very devout and respectful.
After serving the tea, the old bald man spoke up. "In that case, I will make arrangements. I will become the abbot of the Guanyin Temple." He smiled and added, "For my disciple, I should indeed let the world know that Wisdom is still alive."
Religion had revived again, and the Guanyin Temple currently had no abbot. The old bald man said this because she knew that if Zhu Yanyi was truly the Medical Buddha Maiden, she would need someone to protect her. The identity of the Guanyin Temple abbot was very useful for this purpose.
