Shi Feixuan blinked twice, revealing the unease in her heart.
Chen Yan's expression turned slightly serious.
He knew very well that Shi Feixuan did not lie.
Since Shi Feixuan said she would give him a unique gift (money is good), then this gift must not be ordinary.
I'm a little curious right now, wondering what kind of gift can be considered unique.
"Chen Moyang, Chen Yan, are you willing to make this deal with me?"
Although Shi Feixuan was drinking tea, her attention was entirely focused on Chen Yan.
Chen Yan nodded without much thought.
Answer two questions and you'll win a prize—a one-of-a-kind prize!
There's no penalty for losing; only a fool wouldn't agree to such a deal...
She nodded immediately, "In that case, Shi Feixuan, ask your two questions."
Seeing Chen Yan nod, Shi Feixuan's tense body relaxed considerably. She opened her mouth slightly, exhaling a fragrant breath, and asked her first question.
"Chen Yan, the first question I want to ask you is, what is Buddha?"
What is Buddha?
Chen Yan was stunned.
Lu!
It turns out that Shi Feixuan was asking a seemingly plausible but actually misleading question from Buddhism: "Is a white horse a horse, or is a white horse not a horse?" To answer this question clearly would be incredibly difficult...
"Is this girl deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
The first question was so tricky and difficult…
Chen Yan glanced at Shi Feixuan with annoyance.
Shi Feixuan, on the other hand, smiled and chatted, seemingly enjoying watching Chen Yan's headache. She crossed her legs and swung them even more leisurely and happily...
Chapter 219 Shi Feixuan: Husband, it's time to rest.
What is Buddha?
Shi Feixuan's question can be described as either easy or difficult.
Any question without a standard answer can become incredibly difficult to answer satisfactorily, making it seem like climbing to the heavens.
Chen Yan is somewhat lazy and usually dislikes thinking about these ambiguous questions, which give him a headache.
However, having agreed to the deal with Shi Feixuan, he would not be passive about it.
frown,
While carefully considering how to come up with the best possible answer.
At this moment, Shi Feixuan spoke up and offered her answer.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, and her voice, like pearls falling onto a plate, was soothing and delightful.
The Mahayana Treatise states: "Being able to awaken oneself and others; having perfected enlightenment and practice, one is called a Buddha."
The Buddha also has ten titles: Tathagata, who attained perfect enlightenment by taking the true path; Worthy of offerings, worthy of offerings from humans and gods; Perfectly Enlightened, truly knowing all dharmas; Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct, having perfect knowledge of the three knowledges and without error in the three karmas; Well-Gone, having freely entered Nirvana...
From a secular perspective, Buddha represents an enlightened being, someone possessing supreme wisdom...
From the perspective of spiritual cultivation, Buddhahood is a state of spiritual attainment. It is the state of Buddhahood achieved when one attains unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment, possessing a state of complete and non-dual perfection…
Looking at Shi Feixuan, who spoke eloquently and incessantly,
Chen Yan was stunned.
What on earth is this woman up to?!
They clearly agreed to make a deal with me, and I would have to answer two questions.
But why did she explain herself after asking the question?
You've already given the answers yourself, so why are you asking me the questions?!
After Shi Feixuan finished explaining her understanding of 'Buddha', she couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Chen Yan's astonishment.
then.
She lightly covered her mouth with her fair hand, her smile fading, and asked her second question in a serious tone: "Chen Yan, my second question is, what is the relationship between a man and a woman?"
What is the love between a man and a woman?
Chen Yan was stunned again.
What do you mean?
What is Shi Feixuan up to?
You are a Buddhist disciple, a holy woman of Buddhism, and now you are discussing the question of 'love between men and women' with me, a worldly man.
Is it something a Buddhist disciple like you should be discussing regarding 'romantic relationships'?
Just as Chen Yan was stunned and didn't understand Shi Feixuan's purpose.
Shi Feixuan breathed softly again and offered her answer...
Looking at Shi Feixuan, who was asking and answering her own questions.
Chen Yan was completely dumbfounded.
I can't help it.
He stretched out his right hand and touched Shi Feixuan's smooth and delicate forehead with the back of his hand.
You, a holy woman of Buddhism, are already going too far by discussing the issue of 'love between men and women' with me, and now you're even giving me your own answers.
Then what's the point of you asking me these two questions?!
He touched Shi Feixuan's forehead with the back of his hand.
Then I pressed it against my forehead.
Chen Yan muttered suspiciously to himself, "She doesn't have a fever, what is she up to..."
Upon seeing Chen Yan's ghost-like expression, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but reveal a smiling face.
They didn't answer Chen Yan's question either.
Then, without waiting for a reply, he began to tell Chen Yan a story.
Nineteen years ago, a baby girl was taken to a nunnery...
Chen Yan was taken aback once again.
In the deal Shi Feixuan had made earlier, she said that she would only tell the story and give her a unique gift after she answered two questions.
Why didn't I answer the question?
Shi Feixuan, however, took the initiative to tell a story.
baffling……
If Chen Yan didn't know Shi Feixuan quite well, he would have started to wonder if Shi Feixuan had mental problems at this point.
"Who cares? In the end, she'll find her own answer. Let's just listen to her story first. Things will work themselves out."
Chen Yan stopped thinking about it, relaxed, and leisurely listened to Shi Feixuan tell stories while drinking tea.
Seeing Chen Yan's calm and open-minded demeanor.
A hint of admiration flickered in Shi Feixuan's eyes.
In an instant, he dispelled all doubts, remaining calm and composed. This composure alone was exceptional; no wonder he was the man Shi Feixuan had fallen for…
She continued telling her story: "The baby girl who was adopted in the nunnery grew up and showed outstanding Buddhist comprehension and martial arts talent. She was chosen as one of the candidates for sainthood."
Three years later, she stood out among several candidates for sainthood and became an official saint.
That year, the girl was exactly sixteen years old…
Hear this.
Chen Yan suddenly realized.
The baby girl who became a saint in Shi Feixuan's story is herself.
It turned out she was telling her own story.
"But why would she suddenly tell me her story?"
Chen Yan felt puzzled again and continued to listen carefully.
Shi Feixuan: "That girl became a saintess at the age of sixteen and was regarded as the successor. She carried the future hope of the sect and entered the Holy Pagoda to study profound Buddhist teachings and martial arts."
The pagoda contains many notes and manuscripts left by predecessors.
As the girl flipped through the pages, she saw that many of her predecessors could not escape the hurdle of 'love'. At that moment, she developed a strong interest in 'love' and wanted to know what 'love between men and women' really was.
Why did so many exceptionally talented predecessors succumb to this calamity?
However, comprehending Buddhist teachings and martial arts within the pagoda requires a pure and desireless mind, free from distractions, and one's full dedication.
