Chapter 128 Death, Funeral
She knelt down in front of the bearded monk. There was no crying, only silent tears.
After she kowtowed three times, she came to a corner of the hall where there was a bell.
She swung the bell pestle and struck it three times, and soon four people came into the hall.
A middle-aged monk, an old man, and a young novice who led Lu Yu.
There is also green lotus.
As soon as they came in, except Lu Luhe, the other three knelt down and kowtowed, but there was no crying.
Lu Yu never thought that the bearded monk whom she met for the first time today would be accompanied by her on the last journey of his life.
On the top of the thirty-third floor of the tower, Wuwang, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and looked very scary.
Then, he lowered his eyes and murmured, "It's better to go. I don't have to have my life span taken away anymore."
When a person dies, he needs to be buried, and before burial, his appearance needs to be dressed up. The person who dressed up the bearded monk was the cook of Dacheng Temple.
He first shaved the bearded monk's beard. Lu Yu wanted to stop him, but she felt that since he was a master, he should maintain that masterly aura.
Xie Huanzhu explained, "These are the master's last words. Don't be fooled by his appearance of being a master, he actually has the temperament of a child."
"He said that he entered Buddhism to save all living beings, but in the end he helped the tyrants to commit atrocities. He is full of sins and is filthy. The underworld will probably despise him."
"So, I hope I can make him feel a little bit fresher when I leave, so that people won't be too disgusted."
Lu Yu didn't pay attention to her other words, only to the fact that she said the bearded monk was helping the evil.
"What evil has he done?"
Xie Huanzhu held Lu Yu's hand, with hope in her eyes, "Sister, don't blame him, he is also a victim."
"Tell me, what evil did he do?" Lu Yu asked again expressionlessly.
Xie Huanzhu sighed maturely, "He is actually already a foundation-building cultivator, and his life span has reached 500 years."
Lu Yu immediately understood what he meant by aiding and abetting evil, but it still needed confirmation.
"What is Wuwang's cultivation?"
“Ha!” Xie Huanzhu sneered disdainfully when Wuwang was mentioned. “A disciple of Buddhism actually had sexual desires. His cultivation has long been stagnant. He is probably still at the third level of Qi Refining!”
"So, the reason he can live to this day is because he took away the longevity of the bearded monk?"
"Yes!" Xie Huanzhu was furious. "Unfortunately, when he tried to take my life span, I didn't even know where I was. If it were now, I would definitely not let him succeed."
Lu Yu raised his eyelids, "The bearded monk is much more powerful than him. If he resists, I think Wuwang won't be able to take it away by force."
"So, it can only be his own will. Even if you were here, you wouldn't be able to stop him."
Xie Huanzhu lowered her head, exuding a depressed aura. Yes, even if she was born hundreds of years earlier, it would be useless.
Lu Yu raised his hand and stroked her little head. "It's all in the past. There's no point in thinking about it."
Xie Huanzhu felt better immediately after being patted on the head, and she even shook her head in cooperation.
The tenderness in Lu Yu's eyes was about to overflow. Sister? No, she should be sister now.
"Oh, right, the bearded monk said there is no spiritual energy here, so he can't practice. So how did he get to the foundation-building stage?"
"Oh, this!" Xie Huanzhu looked up, "I learned from my master to practice through meditation."
Lu Yu suddenly realized that, as expected, she was right.
Before his death, the abbot told the story of his master, who had gone through many changes, had an epiphany after listening to Sanskrit sounds, and then became a Buddhist. He also practiced Buddhism by comprehending Buddhist teachings.
Big Beard said that he and Wuwang could not practice through comprehension, but after coming to this world, Big Beard reached the foundation-building stage through comprehension.
This is because after experiencing an unexpected event, one’s mental experience has changed, so one can practice through comprehension.
It feels a bit like a blessing in disguise, except that I was dragged down by Wuwang, or rather, I was tricked.
After being cleaned up, the bearded monk no longer had a beard, and his face looked thin and skinny.
But you can still vaguely see how handsome he once was.
When Xie Huanzhu saw this bearded monk, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
She cried and said, "It's all because of Huanzhu that he is like this."
"He originally had plump cheeks and a handsome face, but after returning the Pearl to life, he started growing a beard."
"I thought he wanted to change his image, but it turned out to be a cover-up for his emaciated face."
"Wow, sister, I'm so sad!"
Lu Yu held her in his arms and patted her back gently, but he couldn't utter a word of comfort because no matter what he said at this moment, it would seem so powerless.
It’s better to cry it out, otherwise it will be worse if you keep it in your heart.
Because they had to hold a funeral, even though no one came to pay their respects, they still had to wait a few days before burying the body. Naturally, Lu Yu had to stay to help, so he asked Lu He to go back and tell her grandfather.
But what I didn’t expect was that the next afternoon, Luhe came with her grandfather and Taoist Priest Xizu.
Taoist Priest Xizu and the bearded monk had met twice, and they got along quite well.
Plus, he also knew Xie Huanzhu and once wanted to poach her.
No matter what, we should come to pay our respects.
As for Lu Jingmo, he came simply for Lu Yu.
Just as the two of them finished offering incense, another person came. It was Lu Qingfeng, along with an elegant middle-aged man and a young man.
Xie Huanzhu walked up to him and bowed to the elegant middle-aged man.
The elegant middle-aged man took Lu Qingfeng and the young man to burn incense for the bearded man and then stood aside.
Xie Huanzhu has been looking up at Lu Jingmo since he came in. Lu Jingmo saw that the little girl was staring at him, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Well, she is very cute, and has a pair of particularly bright eyes. He waved at her, "What's your name?"
"Thank you, Huanzhu." She walked up to him, took out a stack of talismans from her small cloth bag and held them up high, "This is for you, as a meeting gift."
Lu Jingmo was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter. He didn't even know the child and hadn't given her a gift, but he received her gift first.
He took off the jade pendant he was carrying and said, "Well, this is a return gift for you."
Xie Huanzhu was not polite and took it readily, "Thank you, Grandpa."
