The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

"I didn't expect that there is such a powerful figure in Tang City!" Xia Younan couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Then there is no time to lose. Let's go and ask your master to come down the mountain." Lu Xiuyuan stood up and said impatiently.

The other people also stood up. Chanmu wanted to stay to take care of Qu Xiaoyou, but Qu Xiaoyou thought that since Chanmu and the monk were both monks, he might be able to speak more effectively, so he asked them all to go and it was okay for him to stay.

So, Lu Xiuyuan and his wife, Zhu Li, Xiong Fei, and Chan Mu rushed to the place where the eminent monk was - Nanshan outside the city.

The road was smooth and smooth. After reaching the foot of the mountain, they abandoned their horses and walked deeper into the mountains under the leadership of Jun Ziyao.

After walking along the rugged mountain road for nearly half an hour, we finally saw a bamboo house standing halfway up the mountain.

"That's it." Jun Ziyao pointed at the bamboo house, lifted his robe and quickened his pace.

Several people followed him to the front of the house. Jun Ziyao asked them to wait outside for a while while he went in to talk to the master first.

Lu Xiuyuan was outside the house, looking at the surroundings, and found the scenery to be really pleasant.

There are lush green mountains behind the house, a gurgling stream in front of the house, and a vegetable garden and crops on the sides of the house. There are several kinds of fresh vegetables in the vegetable garden, and half an acre of green wheat seedlings in the crop field.

"This place is so nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, it's a paradise on earth, perfect for a hermit to live in seclusion." Xia Younan exclaimed, thinking that when she gets old, she will also find such a pure land to live in.

Several people waited outside for a while, and Jun Ziyao quickly opened the door and stuck his head out, waving for them to come in, "My master agreed to see you."

Lu Xiuyuan was busy tidying up his clothes, and he did not forget to remind everyone, "The monk is a powerful person, we must be humble and polite, and must not offend the monk."

"Okay." Zhu Li and Xiong Fei agreed in unison and also tidied up their appearance.

Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath and led the way in.

The house is not big and is simply furnished with a table, a stool, a bed, a set of chess sets, a set of four treasures of the study, and two blue-covered Buddhist scriptures.

There is a Buddha statue placed in the middle of the table. There are several incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the statue, and wisps of smoke are rising from the burning incense heads.

An elderly monk was sitting cross-legged on the plank bed.

The monk was about sixty years old, wearing a blue-gray monk's robe, and was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

There were nine white scars on the monk's smooth head. His eyebrows were still thick but had turned gray. His eyes were exceptionally bright and intelligent due to years of meditation and Buddhism.

The lips are slightly wide and thick, giving people a gentle and generous feeling.

The most special thing about him is his ears, which have more flesh than bone, and the earlobes are extremely thick, hanging down very long, just like the Tathagata Buddha in the painting.

At this moment, he was looking at the person who came with smiling eyes, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and exuding a temperament of purity and simplicity.

For a moment, Lu Xiuyuan thought he had seen the true body of Tathagata above the nine heavens.

"Everyone, this is the eminent monk I told you about, my most respected master." Jun Ziyao stood beside the monk and introduced him to his companions with pride on his face.

"I am Lu Xiuyuan, a junior, and I am honored to meet you, eminent monk." Lu Xiuyuan raised his hands respectfully and bowed deeply to the old monk.

"Greetings, eminent monk." Zhu Li and Xiong Fei also bowed in the same manner.

The old monk raised his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then looked at Xia Younan and Chanmu behind him with a kind smile on his lips.

Chanmu and Xia Younan stood there in a daze, staring at the old monk in amazement, as if someone had pressed their acupoints.

"Master... Senior Brother?" Xia Younan called out Zenmu in a daze, his voice trembling a little.

"Why does he look familiar to me? He...he seems to be..."

Chanmu was struck by lightning, and stared at the old monk in front of him. His throat was sore and stiff that he didn't even dare to speak, fearing that if he made a sound, the scene in front of him would disappear like a bubble.

"Zhenmu, Younan," the old monk spoke first, his voice slow and loud, "you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this and looked at Jun Ziyao reflexively.

Jun Ziyao was also confused, and hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, "I didn't tell Master their names, how did Master know?"

"Holy monk, how did you ..."

"Master!!"

Before Lu Xiuyuan could ask, Chanmu and Xia Younan shouted at the same time, and then the two brothers and sisters rushed to the old monk and knelt down together.

Now it was Lu Xiuyuan, Jun Ziyao, Zhu Li, and Xiong Fei's turn to be petrified. The four of them's eyes widened at the same time, and several question marks appeared on their heads.

"Master, is it really you?" Zenmu looked up at the old monk excitedly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Master~" Xia Younan choked with grievance, "I almost...almost didn't recognize you."

The old monk touched Xia Younan's head kindly, and said with a smile: "It's been ten years. When I left, Younan was still a child under ten years old. I am very pleased that you still remember me."

"Master, where have you been for the past ten years? I have been waiting for you to come back." Chanmu tightly grasped the corner of the old monk's clothes, as if he was afraid that if he let go, his master would disappear again.

The old monk looked guilty, patted Chanmu on the shoulder and said, "Chanmu, you are the one I feel the most sorry for.

"When you were only fifteen, I entrusted more than thirty of my fellow apprentices to your care. I was away for such a long time. My child, you have worked hard over the years."

Zenmu shook his head and said modestly: "Master, I am your first disciple. You raised me. I should take care of my fellow disciples. I am not tired."

"Good kids." The old monk sighed with satisfaction, and pulled Chanmu and Xia Younan up from the ground with one hand each. "Hurry up, both of you. We Buddhists don't have the rule of kneeling before our master."

"We are not kneeling for your status, we are kneeling for the grace of our master in raising us." Xia Younan said stubbornly as he stood up.

"Okay, silly girl, let your companions sit down, and we can talk it over." The old monk said to Xia Younan lovingly.

Xia Younan agreed, and first asked Lu Xiuyuan and the others to sit down, and then formally introduced his master to them, "Everyone, this is my master, who is also my father, and his Buddhist name is Pu Xuan."

"Is it...your master from that era?" Lu Xiuyuan confirmed in disbelief.

Xia Younan nodded heavily, "Yes! Master is from the same era as us. Master is also a time traveler, and he traveled earlier than us."

"Oh my God!" Jun Ziyao screamed madly, pointing at Chanmu and glaring angrily, "You...you just stole my wife, and now you're stealing my master, are you a bandit?"

“……”Three black lines slid across Zenmu’s forehead, and his face was speechless.

Monk Puxuan smiled and introduced them, "Younan, Chanmu, this is my new disciple, your junior apprentice."

"Oh my!" Xia Younan ran towards Jun Ziyao in surprise and gave him a big hug. "Boy, now I really am your sister, your only senior sister. We don't even need to become sworn brothers anymore."

Jun Ziyao also laughed foolishly, "That's good, I like Senior Sister!"
