After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Li Chenan did not expect Scar Liu to become a monk at the Jade Buddha Temple at first!

He didn't even expect Scar Liu to be a sweeping monk at the Bodhidharma Courtyard of the Jade Buddha Temple!

Scar Liu, who was sweeping the snow under the sun, didn't seem to expect that Li Chenan would come here to find him.

When Li Chenan and his entourage walked into Bodhidharma Monastery, Dao Scar Liu was wearing a gray monk's robe and holding a broom and sweeping the snow in the yard seriously.

Also clearing the snow with Scar Liu was a young, very handsome monk who was about the same age as Li Chenan.

"Amitabha,"

"Your Majesty, this is Junior Brother Puji!"

emperor……!
Monk Puji held the broom's hand for a moment, and his eyes fell on Li Chenan's face.

The eyes narrowed slightly, and the conspicuous scar on his face squirmed slightly.

He did not salute.

The young monk standing one step behind him also looked at Li Chenan at this moment.

His bright eyes suddenly lit up.

There was a smile on that beautiful face, which looked even more beautiful in the sunshine.

Li Chenan also looked at the two of them, and then looked at the scar on Scar Liu's face.

Yantuozi did not tell Li Chenan the story about Scar Liu.

He didn't know the origin of the scar.

But this rather burly man, about fifty years old, had many stories to tell just from the hideous scar on his face and the monk's robes.

It's just that Li Chenan doesn't care about his story.

"It seems that you haven't had any contact with Yan Tuozi for a long time."

Scar Liu's expression darkened slightly when he heard this.

"He said you were at the Yuelai Inn, and you were the manager of the Yuelai Inn."

"You didn't guard the Yuelai Inn, but you came here to sweep the floor... Then who is in charge of the Yuelai Inn in Yujing City now?"

Scar Liu handed the broom in his hand to the young monk behind him, and then bowed:
"I've met the young master!"

He also did not call Li Chenan the emperor.

"The poor monk has become a monk, which means saying goodbye to the past."

"The poor monk is trying his best to forget everyone and everything in the past, so he has no contact with Yan Tuozi anymore, nor has he contacted the head of the family."

"Yelai Inn... The poor monk handed it over to the owner before he became a monk. I don't know who is the owner of Yuelai Inn in Yujing City now."

"In the past ten years, this poor monk has not even left the door of Bodhidharma Monastery. I didn't expect that the young master would find this place."

"Now that the young master is here... dare I ask the young master what's wrong?"

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm fine, but Yan Tuozi asked me to bring you a message."

Scar Liu straightened up, looked at Li Chenan, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"He asked you, are you okay in Kyoto?"

When Scar Liu heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

The scar on his face twitched a few times, and the calmness he had felt just now disappeared without a trace.

"Master, has Yan Tuozi left Linshui City?"

"Yes!"

"Where did he go?"

"Yueguo."

Scar Liu took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"How am I doing in Kyoto?"

"It wasn't very good originally."

"I thought that serving in front of the Buddha for the rest of my life would help me gradually feel at peace... I have been sweeping the floor for ten years, but I found that I could not sweep away the dust in my heart."

"I'm not as good as him."

"He looked down upon the world while puffing away the clouds."

"But I can't let it go."

Li Chenan listened to Scar Liu's words with curiosity and asked:
"What can't you let go of?"

"I can't let go of the sword in my heart!"

"I thought I left the world in this pure place, but now I know that the world is in my heart."

"I thought I had killed everyone who deserved to be killed. From now on, I could hang up my sword and leave the world to pick up a broom... Only then did I realize that having a sword in my hand without a sword is also killing."

"And there are endless people in the world who deserve to be killed, and I still can't let go of the people in the world who I care about."

Scar Liu looked at Li Chenan again:
"I'm leaving." "Where?"

"Go and see the people I care about. They are fine. Maybe they can let me go."

"Go and see Yan Tuozi and help him kill some people. If you kill a lot of people, maybe you can settle the debt you owe him."

Li Chenan grinned:
"Return to secular life?"

"No!"

"Scar Liu is already dead, so the identity of Monk Puji is better."

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows, walked back and forth a few steps, then paused.
"Okay, since you still call me young master, then you can go to Yue Kingdom as a monk of the Jade Buddha Temple!"

"Yan Tuozi is by Princess Hanyue's side."

"After you go to Yue Kingdom, you don't need to deliberately protect Zhao Hanyue's safety. It's always okay to kill a few Zen monks, right?"

Monk Puji performed the Buddhist ritual this time:
"Amitabha,"

"As you wish, poor monk!"

"I want to ask you, you wore a monk's robe to kill a monk...don't you think this is a bit weird?"

"The poor monk doesn't think that the monk's robe is an external thing and killing is his true intention. The poor monk cultivates his true intention and respects the emperor's order to kill people... The Buddha would not blame him."

Master Pukong on the side was heartbroken.

"Junior brother, although the Zen sect has lost six great masters in red, there are still many masters!"

"You, I'm afraid it's going to be bad for you if you go here!"

Monk Puji looked at Master Pukong, put his hands together and saluted:
"Thank you, senior brother, for teaching me the scriptures these past ten years... In fact, I still know nothing about those scriptures."

"Junior brother has already seen through the words of life and death."

"Now that I can't get relief from sweeping the floor for ten years, it's better to reenter the world and seek death!"

"Based on what Junior Brother has done in the past, I estimate that even if he sweeps away the land for a lifetime, Buddha will not recall Junior Brother to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West."

"Junior brother is already prepared to go to hell."

"Actually, junior brother, I occasionally have thoughts, so what if I go to hell?"

"Perhaps after junior brother goes to hell, he can use this shallow Buddhist teaching to transcend those ghosts!"

"Goodbye, Brother!"

Master Pukong sighed, "After all, the mortal world is over!"

"Junior brother, take care!"

Monk Puji glanced at Li Chenan again, then took a serious step and left!
"Hey, hey, hey, go kill someone and bring your sword with you!"

Puji didn't stop: "Kill someone...just have a sword in your heart!"

Master!

Li Chenan looked at Zhongli Ruoshui.

Zhongli Ruoshui said three words calmly:
"Grandmaster!"

Li Chenan laughed.

The sweeping monks are indeed extremely high beings!

Can he really not let go?

In fact, he wanted to let it go, otherwise he wouldn't have left wearing that monk's robe.

But he really couldn't let go.

That's what Yan Tuozi said.

And the people in his heart.

It was good for him to sweep the floors of the Emerald Buddha Temple in Kyoto, but for Yan Tuozi and the people he cared about, he walked out of the Emerald Buddha Temple and entered the world again.

Escaped into Buddhism, but failed to escape from the world of mortals.

Empty door, it is in the world of mortals.

Even if you don't go out, you still have your feet in the world of mortals.

So there is no difference inside or outside the door.

They are all people who have come to this world to overcome the tribulation!
Li Chenan had finally completed what Yan Tuozi had entrusted him to do. He was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by the beautiful young monk:

"Donor Li, stay!"

"You are……?"

"The poor monk doesn't care!"

"Donor, this poor monk has come to fulfill the appointment between my master and your master...are you ready?" (End of Chapter)
