Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 545 small stone

Ever since he was a child, Li Xiaoyao had often quarreled with others.

It's just that every time he quarreled, he looked down on his opponent as a winner.

However, at this moment, no matter what he said, the little monk in front of him just refused to admit defeat.

In other words, it cannot be called "admitting defeat", but a kind of stubbornness that makes people angry and helpless.

The language and expression of "I asked you to be ordained to help you" almost broke Li Xiaoyao.

Jinico kept clenching and loosening his fists, resisting the thought of killing this guy.

He didn't forget Qiao Mu's arrangement, and he was worried that because of his momentary anger, he would affect the acquisition of the Earth Spirit Orb, which would annoy Qiao Mu.

Jinico took a deep breath, nodded towards Li Xiaoyao, and the two walked aside.

"What to do?" Zinico asked.

He has no experience in dealing with such things.

For him, if he doesn't obey, he will fight until he is convinced.

But the little novice monk in front of him was not convinced after being beaten to pieces, instead he would recover after a few breaths.

"Monsters are really a bunch of perverted brains. Anyone who dares to say that I am a monster in the future will be in a hurry with him!" Jinico thought to himself.

Li Xiaoyao rubbed his chin and said, "Professional things have to be done by professional people..."

He raised his head and asked, "Does Uncle Panda know any high-spirited monks?"

A monk wearing a patched monk robe and gnawing on a chicken leg with oily mouth flashed in Jinico's mind. He nodded and said, "It's in the tavern."

"Then he now..." Li Xiaoyao asked.

Zinico looked down at the digital watch on his wrist and said, "It's lunch time, he should be here."

"Then let's take him over and let the two of them defend themselves." Li Xiaoyao said.

"Good idea," Zinico praised, "you humans are really cunning."

Li Xiaoyao pouted.

The two reached a consensus, and turned around to walk in front of the "upright" young monk.

Jinico raised his head slightly and said, "I'll take you to meet a real eminent monk and let him tell you whether you are helping others or harming others!"

The little novice nodded: "Okay."

When the three of them entered the Space-Time Tavern, the little novice looked around curiously, and happened to see Qiao Mu who had just entered the reception area of ​​the fourth-level plane.

The two looked at each other, and there was a strange flash in Qiao Mu's eyes.

Reminded by Lolita, he already knew the identity of the little monk.

"Master Qiao." Li Xiaoyao said to Qiao Mu.

"Mr. Joe." Jinico said respectfully.

"Could he be the eminent monk you mentioned?" The little novice looked at Qiao Mu with suspicion in his eyes.

Although Qiao Mu's hair is not long, it is far from the image of a "monk".

Jinico shook his head and said, "Mr. Qiao is the owner of this place, and his status is much more noble than the Buddha you mentioned."

The little novice glared away and said, "How dare you slander the Buddha!"

Jinico was furious, but considering that Qiao Mu was beside him, he suppressed his temper and explained to Qiao Mu: "Mr. Qiao, this is what we met in the Jade Buddha Temple..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Mu interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I know."

Qiao Mu looked down at the little monk and said, "Do you know where this is?"

"This is... the Time and Space Tavern, Amitabha." The little novice put his hands together and said, "I have to get out of here. This is not a place where monks should come."

"But you have already done what a monk should not do." Qiao Mu sneered.

"What?" the little novice asked.

Qiao Mu said: "The foundation of cultivation lies in sacrificing oneself and helping others. The Buddha said: Selflessness means sacrificing oneself. The Buddha said: Compassion means helping others."

"But what you have done runs counter to Buddhism, and it is clearly self-destructive!"

He shook his head and said with pity: "You have spent thousands of years practicing Taoism, and you only have the wisdom of a child. If you continue like this, you may fail to worship the Buddha and fall into the devil's path first!"

The little novice's expression turned ugly all of a sudden, and he murmured: "But the Buddha said: Save all living beings..."

"Pursuing sentient beings means that practitioners should be merciful, use great magic power to make people let go of their obsessions, stimulate the Buddha nature in people's hearts, and help them so that they can reach the other shore." Qiao Mu said coldly, "And you Isn’t it just the opposite to force others to become monks?”

The little monk knelt on the ground with a pale face and plop: "It was my fault!"

He raised his head suddenly, and looked at Qiao Mu with fanaticism: "You have such a high Buddha nature, you must have been sent by the Buddha to help me, and you will be my master from now on."

Seeing that he was about to transform into his original form, Qiao Mu stopped him.

"I only know a little bit, and I don't believe in Buddhism." Qiao Mu said.

The little novice looked at him in surprise.

"I'm a businessman," Qiao Mu said lightly, "Even if the Buddha comes in person, he can only be my guest."

The little novice immediately felt that his faith had collapsed: a person who understands Buddhism like this doesn't believe in Buddha, and a devout believer like himself doesn't understand Buddha...

"However, there are many Buddhist scriptures in the Space-Time Tavern, and there are annotations of predecessors. You can buy them and check them out," Qiao Mu said. "And, if you have any questions, you can ask him for advice."

He pointed to the floor-sweeping monk who was eating chicken legs, and said, "He is the real eminent monk who has attained the Tao."

"Him?" The little novice had a look of disbelief.

The sweeping monk also looked confused when he saw everyone looking at him.

Under Qiao Mu's explanation, the little novice gradually accepted all this.

Later, under Kuaiyin's leadership, he learned about the extraordinaryness of the Time and Space Tavern and the usage of the "online mall".

"But, I don't have space-time coins." He cried sadly.

"Your cultivation skills can be exchanged for space-time coins." Kuaiyin said.

"Cultivation method, yes, my cultivation method comes from Bodhidharma." The little monk said.

The sweeping monk on the side heard this, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Wait, little master, do you really understand Bodhidharma's exercises?" asked the sweeping monk.

The little monk said with a look of contempt: "What does it have to do with you?"

His mentality has not completely changed for a while, adhering to the Buddhist precepts, and extremely contemptuous of the sweeping monk, a monk who eats chicken legs.

The sweeping monk guessed what the other party was thinking, and immediately smiled and said: "What do you mean by Buddha?"

"Buddha is supreme and omnipotent..." the little novice uttered a bunch of praises one after another.

The sweeping monk shook his head lightly and said: "Buddha is a state of great wisdom, great compassion and great power. He is a person who consciously realizes others and has perfect enlightenment... Everyone has Buddha nature, and everyone can become a Buddha!"

The little novice's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Master, please accept me as an apprentice."

"There is no need to accept apprentices, we can learn from each other." The sweeping monk smiled, "By the way, what is the name of the little master?"

The little monk rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have a name, so please give me a name, Master."

"Then call it Little Stone." The sweeping monk said.

Little Stone said excitedly, "Thank you, Master."

"By the way, your skills..."
