Urban Spirit Sword Fairy

Chapter 572 I'm Back

Faming said: "It is precisely because you have such misunderstandings about Buddhism that I should promote Buddhism to you all the more."

"As for the issue of food, Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet in the DPRK, presides over government affairs. After Shenzong took charge of the government, he made great efforts to govern, lived a frugal life, and showed the demeanor of a diligent and enlightened monarch."

"How can you be hungry?"

Nan Qingyi put down the tools in his hands, sat on the bow of the boat, and said to Fa Ming: "Little Master Fa Ming, the Buddhists always say that everyone believes in it, but we ordinary people are exhausted for three meals a day. Do you have the energy to study Buddhism?"

"Look!" Nan Qingyi pointed to many fishermen in the distance.

These fishermen have tanned skin, hard fishing, or farming in the farmland on the shore.

Fa Ming said, "But I've never worked, and I can eat and clothe myself."

"Because you are a monk." Nan Qingyi said.

Faming laughed and said, "So, if you study Buddhism, won't you be able to fill your stomach?"

Nan Qingyi: "But what you eat is grown by hardworking people like us."

"The environment where you spread the Dharma was also guarded by frontier soldiers."

"If we farmers learn Buddhism and soldiers learn Buddhism, won't everyone be hungry?"

Nan Qingyi glanced briefly, but Fa Ming was speechless.

Fa Ming is a leader in their Buddhist temples. He discusses Buddhism with others, and he can answer any questions calmly.

When he went to various places, he was also praised by others, and countless people regarded him as a master to ask questions.

Unexpectedly, now this girl asked a simple question about eating, but she couldn't answer it.

Nan Qingyi actually admired Fa Ming quite a lot, and said, "Little Master Fa Ming, in fact, all the people who came to you to study Buddhism during this period of time were called by my father."

"He thinks that you are a master of Dharma, but most of the villagers actually complain in their hearts that if they have time to listen to Dharma, they might as well do more things."

Fa Ming frowned slightly, sighed, and shook his head slightly: "It seems that you people here have nothing to do with my Buddha."

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

Nan Qingyi hurriedly said: "I'm not driving you away, I just want to say, I have some, I like you, why don't you stay and marry me."

Nan Qingyi had the courage to say such things on his own initiative.

Faming's face changed drastically, and he said hastily, "How is this possible? I am a Buddhist practitioner, how can I have feelings for a man and a woman."

"It is said that before the Buddha became a Buddha, didn't he also have a wife and children?" Nan Qingyi asked.

"Where did you hear about it?" Farming said.

Nan Qingyi pointed at him: "You talked about the Dharma before, about the Buddha."

"Nonsense!" Faming decided to leave.

His great wish is to travel all over the world and spread Buddhism.

Since the people here have no connection with Buddhism, then they must not be able to stay either.

On the second day, Fa Ming packed his bags and left.

When he left the village and walked to a small road, he found Nan Qingyi sitting on a stone by the side of the road, as if waiting for him.

Nan Qingyi stood up at this moment, looking at Faming with reluctance.

Fa Ming is a smart person, how could he not know that Nan Qingyi likes him?

Nan Qingyi is definitely a beautiful and generous girl, and Fa Ming naturally has a good impression of her after many days of contact.

But he suppressed the good feeling.

He is a person who cultivates Buddhism, how can he move his emotions and desires?

Nan Qingyi and Fa Ming looked at each other for a long time before she asked, "Little Master Fa Ming, when are you going to come back?"

She knew that Fa Ming was the one who decided to spread Buddhism, and it was impossible to force him to stay.

Faming clasped his hands together and said, "I'll come back when the people in Jiangyan Village believe in Buddhism and have a relationship with Buddha."

Hearing this, Nan Qingyi showed a smile on his face: "Then I will wait for you to come back."

Looking at her smile, Faming couldn't help feeling a little bit shaken.

He hastily put his palms together and recited the Buddha's name.

He secretly said in his heart, sure enough, the seven emotions and six desires in the world are all tests for becoming a Buddha.

Afterwards, Faming left Jiangyan Village.

After Faming left Jiangyan Village, he traveled around the mountains and rivers, but his reputation became more and more famous.

As for Jiangyan Village and Nan Qingyi, he forgot about them.

He forgot that there was such a remote village, and that there was a girl who was looking forward to his return again.

In this way, many, many years passed.

Fa Ming has become the abbot, and the Buddhist teachings he preached spread all over the place.

One day, he suddenly remembered that about 50 years ago, he had been to a place where people did not believe in Buddhism.

Faming thought to himself that his Dharma was not enough back then, and it was difficult for the people there to believe in Buddhism.

Today's own Dharma practice will definitely make the people in the village believe in Dharma.

Thinking of this, he took his disciples and set off overnight to Jiangyan Village.

On the day of returning to Jiangyan Village, Fa Ming led many disciples to the village.

Decades later, looking at this village, Fa Ming was quite emotional, and he also thought of the girl named Nan Qingyi back then.

I don't know how she is now.

Thinking of this, Fa Ming led his disciples into the village.

In the village, there are not many acquaintances.

Farming walked around like this.

Suddenly, he saw a Buddhist temple in the center of the village, and many villagers were entering the Buddhist temple to offer incense.

A man in his 30s walked out of the Buddhist temple.

Fa Ming stopped him and asked, "This benefactor, what is this Buddhist temple?"

The man smiled and said, "What orders does Master have?"

Fa Ming said: "I visited this place a few decades ago, but I didn't see this Buddhist temple. I don't know."

"Grandma Nan Qingyi built this temple." The man said, "Grandma Nan Qingyi built this temple 50 years ago, and then she sat inside and recited scriptures every day."

"In addition to chanting, she likes to sit here." The man said, pointing to a stone pier at the entrance of the Buddhist temple: "Grandma Nan Qingyi will always sit here and look towards the entrance of the village."

"According to the older generation in the village, she is waiting for someone here."

"It's a pity that after waiting for 50 years, I couldn't wait for him."

Fa Ming was shocked, and he looked at the Buddhist temple in disbelief.

He suddenly remembered what he had said to the girl 50 years ago: "I will come again when the people in Jiangyan Village believe in Buddhism and have a relationship with Buddha."

Nan Qingyi built Buddhist temples to promote Buddhism.

Just to wait for yourself?

Thinking about this, Fa Ming hurriedly asked, "Where is the person from Nan Qingyi?"

"Grandma Nan Qingyi passed away last year." The man said, "It's a pity that before she passed away, she still believed that the person she was waiting for would come back. It's a pity, hey."

Faming was suddenly struck by lightning.

Because of his own words, Nan Qingyi had to wait for 50 years.

Because of his own words, Nan Tsing Yi is willing to wait for him for 50 years.

Looking at the Buddhist temple, Faming said with a choked voice, "I, I'm back."
