The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 913 - 289: I Have Never Seen Anyone So Shameless! (6k)

Zhou Qing glanced at Jue Ming and recalled the slip of paper his uncle took out during the meeting of the peaks that day.

Then he said, "The first question: attachment is like a lock, how to open it?"

Upon hearing this, Jue Ming immediately looked at Zhou Qing.

Is that how you're going to play it? How could you, who have a connection with our Buddha, try to probe the Buddha Son with a question posed by a poor monk?

Well, I'm also curious about what answer the Buddha Son will give.

The eyes of the others also gathered around.

The child tilted his head, pondering for a moment, then crisply said, "No lock, no solution, attachment is inherently empty."

Zhou Qing and everyone present, including Kong Chan, were dumbfounded, not quite understanding.

However, Jue Ming's eyes suddenly brightened, and he was so excited his whole body trembled.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! No lock, no solution, attachment is inherently empty! The Buddha Son breaks attachment with no thought, revealing the true mind through clarity. Such an extraordinary wisdom root is truly unparalleled in history!"

Jue Ming exclaimed excitedly.

The Buddha Son seemed only five or six years old, yet had a comprehension of Buddhist teachings far beyond his age.

Zhou Qing, hearing Jue Ming's explanation, finally seemed to understand.

It appears that the Buddha Son is indeed incomparable to a counterfeit like him.

"It aligns with my father's thoughts perfectly!" Zhou Qing laughed and continued to ask, "The second question: Where is the other shore?"

The child almost didn't pause before swiftly answering, "This shore is that shore, lost one thousand miles, enlightened one step."

Everyone immediately looked at Jue Ming.

Everyone looked at Jue Ming, only to see this esteemed monk with tears flowing down his cheeks, hands clasped together, his voice choked.

"Amitabha! People seek the distant other shore, unaware that lost in mind, they are separated by mountains and seas; enlightened in mind, they become Buddhas on the spot. The Buddha Son, with just a few words, reveals the true essence of the Dharma!"

Everyone showed contemplative expressions.

Zhou Qing sighed profoundly, realizing there truly are prodigious individuals like this.

Lady Li, those spirit medicines you made weren't wasted; look how they've developed this intelligence.

"Remarkable, remarkable!" Zhou Qing praised repeatedly and posed the final question, "All beings suffer; how to cross them?"

The child suddenly beamed, speaking in a tender voice, "This is the easiest: the sea of suffering has no shore, self-crossers are the boats."

Once again, everyone turned their gaze to Jue Ming.

Jue Ming wiped away his tears, making a sound of admiration mixed with sobs from his throat: "The Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra states, 'Rely on self, rely on Dharma, do not rely on others.'"

"The Buddha Son sums up the root of all dharmas with 'self-crossers are the boats'! Beings are fixated on the notion of being helped by others, not knowing the true ferry is the ever-burning light within their hearts!"

Everyone looked at the child, genuinely admiring him.

For the whole month after returning from the Phecda Sect, the Taiqing Sect's core and true disciples had devotedly pondered these three questions.

But faced with the Buddha Son himself, their meticulously considered answers suddenly seemed utterly inadequate.

Zhou Qing's face beamed with laughter as he patted the child's shoulder, saying, "Well done, you didn't bring shame to my fatherhood."

He glanced at Jue Ming and Kong Chan, then turned to the child and said, "I see you have a connection with Buddha, these two masters are my friends. Son, why don't you go with them to... focus on cultivation, what do you think?"

The child looked at Jue Ming and Kong Chan's expectant eyes and nodded obediently, "Whatever my father says is fine."

No sooner had the words been uttered than Jue Ming and Kong Chan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jue Ming was even so moved that tears streamed down his face, hands clasped together, repeatedly saying, "Excellent! Excellent!"

Zhou Qing turned his gaze to Lady Li, his eyes questioning.

Lady Li's eyes reddened, but she suddenly didn't know how to address Zhou Qing.

She could only bow deeply once more, "Thank you for gifting my son this fortune, Lady Li will always remember this kindness."

"Quickly rise!" Zhou Qing hurriedly reached out to help her, blushing with embarrassment, "Since he has recognized me as his father, naturally, I must take responsibility."

Everyone looked at Zhou Qing.

As the saying goes—I've never seen such a brazen person!

Kong Chan couldn't help but say, "Master, this Donor Zhou's thick skin is nearly comparable to Uncle Jue Chen; the two must play well together."

Jue Ming nodded in agreement.

But if Zhou Qing could come back to Jiyuan Temple with him, that would be fantastic!

At this moment, Mo Xingjian walked forward with a cheerful laugh, announcing loudly, "Today is truly a triple celebration, the two masters finally found the Buddha Son, and my Old Fourth successfully became a father."

"Such a joyful occasion deserves a proper celebration! How about we hold a feast at my Taiqing Sect's Jade Dining Hall today?"

Lu Yaoyao blinked, puzzled, "Uncle, it should be a double celebration, where's the triple?"

Mo Xingjian raised a hand, gesturing toward Zhou Qing with a laugh, "Since my Old Fourth became a father, naturally I've become a grandfather, isn't that the third happiness?"

Everyone: "..."

No wonder Zhou Qing is so shameless; it seems it's inherited!

"So eager to be a grandfather? Perhaps right now your Second Sister is already returning with a fat grandson in her arms!"

Yan Xiaohu mumbled.

Just as the words fell, Mo Xingjian's cold gaze swept over, scaring him into shrinking his neck and quickly shutting his mouth.

Everyone naturally agreed with Mo Xingjian's proposal.

Such a joyous occasion indeed deserves a good celebration.

Especially Zhou Qing, who not only cleared his name of the Demon-Suppressing Golden Bone suspicion but also unexpectedly became the Buddha Son's father; what a marvelous turn of events.

Afterward, the Jade Dining Hall soon bustled with activity, and Mo Xingjian hurried to find Yuqing Peak Master Tong Min.

He asked her to immediately go to the Phecda Sect and ensure the Sect Leader and others were brought back.

After all, to deal with the esteemed Jue Ming master, it was just the two of them who led the team back.
