Chang 'er's eyes lit up. She sniffed and said, "Brother, I smell meat."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Haha, I smell it too. This is Kirin meat. The quality of the meat should be good."
His tone was full of emotion. This Kirin was killed by itself. He didn't even have to do anything and it fell.
It was hard to imagine that he would be lucky enough to eat Kirin meat. He wondered what it would taste like.
He had already eaten many immortal beasts in the cultivation world. Now, he could even eat Kirin meat. This transmigration was really worth it.
"Don't touch it first. I have to plan carefully. This Kirin is not small. We have to make full use of its meat!"
Li Nianfan reminded her and then began to plan carefully. "It's a pity that I don't have experience eating Kirins. I can only explore slowly. But looking at the quality of its meat, this thigh should be suitable for roasting. As for the back, it should be good to braise. Oh, its tail is very nimble. It should be suitable for stewing soup."
The Black Kirin lay on the side. His eyes were silent. Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
Bastard, bastard!
You want to divide me up and eat me.
It had already predicted its fate. It would not be long before it became a dish. No, several dishes … and soup.
I am an elder of the Kirin Clan. I am of virtue and prestige. I have lived for countless years. I was born to be the lord of the earth. My meat is really not delicious. Please let me go.
Li Nianfan was still planning. Daji stood beside the Black Kirin. A golden gourd hung from her waist, emitting light.
Daji's slender hand patted the gourd. In an instant, a dense light slowly enveloped the Black Kirin's head.
The Black Kirin's eyes widened. Deep shock and horror flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He wanted to struggle, but realized that he could not do so.
"This, this is … the Demon-Summoning Banner?!"
Waves of shock surged in his heart. He was in extreme despair. He noticed the golden gourd in Daji's hand.
"Legend has it that the Demon-Summoning Banner was refined from a gourd by Goddess Nuwa. But … why is it in her hands? Too much, too much! It's one thing for my flesh to be eaten, but you didn't even spare my divine sense. "
In the next moment, a beam of spiritual light flew out from between its eyebrows and entered the golden gourd.
"Although the gourd is different, in the end … I can't escape the fate of being sucked into the gourd." This was its last thought before it entered the gourd.
Li Nianfan slowly stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, you don't have to worry about food for the rest of the journey."
"We don't need it." Yun Yiyi looked at Jiese and continued to persuade him, "Jiese, this is kirin meat. Don't you want to try it? Who knows, it might even be beneficial to one's cultivation. Why do you insist on being a monk? "
Jiese put his palms together. "This is the Dao that I have chosen."
Nanna could not help but mutter, "Aren't you a Buddha? How did it become a Dao? "
"Hahaha …"
Li Nianfan could not help but laugh when he heard that. He said, "Dao is just an abstract concept. The Heavenly Dao is fickle and emotionless. It is ever-changing and encompasses everything. It is neither good nor evil. It is neither right nor wrong. It is neither grateful nor resentful. It is neither happy nor sad. The Dao of Immortality is Dao, the Dao of Demons is Dao, the Dao of Demons is Dao. Of course, Buddhism is Dao too. "
Everyone's expression changed at the same time. They felt their minds go blank and clear. It was as if there was a buzzing sound. They had goosebumps all over their bodies.
Then, all the pores on their bodies opened up. It was as if they were soaking in a hot spring. Their bodies felt warm and comfortable.
At this moment, their understanding of the Dao soared like a rocket. They were able to view the Dao from an intelligent perspective. Previously, they only had a vague concept of the Dao. They always felt that they couldn't see it and couldn't touch it. But now, they felt that it was much clearer.
"The expert is giving us some pointers!"
"Young Master Li's words are like the morning bell. They have enlightened me. You're really a wise man." Jiese the Monk put his palms together and said respectfully, "Please accept a bow from me."
Li Nianfan waved his hand casually. "Jiese the Monk, you're too kind. It's just a casual remark."
He was secretly happy. Profound words were indeed suitable for showing off. Perhaps that was the charm of chicken soup.
Yun Yiyi bit her lips and could not help but ask, "Young Master Li, do you think that Buddhism can allow one to get married?"
Of course, she knew the weight of Li Nianfan's words. If he wanted to change the stubborn Jiese's mind, it would be useless no matter how hard she tried to persuade him. However, if it was Li Nianfan who persuaded him, Jiese the Monk would definitely listen to him no matter how firm his Buddhist heart was.
Li Nianfan did not answer directly. He was deep in thought.
He knew what Yun Yiyi meant. She actually thought highly of this couple.
Yun Yiyi dared to love and hate. Although she seemed indifferent along the way, she was always paying attention to Jiese. Jiese the Monk probably had his own thoughts too. After all, he did not dare to use Yun Yiyi to train his heart. He even tried his best to avoid talking to her.
These two were truly in love.
Although Li Nianfan did not have any personal experience with Buddhism, he definitely knew a lot about it.
The reason why Jiese did this was to prevent his state of mind from being damaged. Buddhism was most afraid of emotions and desires. It was easy to damage one's Buddhist heart and the consequences were very serious.
Li Nianfan had to consider two factors. One was the feelings between the two. The other was whether it would affect Jiese's cultivation.
This was more complicated.
Yun Yiyi looked at Li Nianfan with anticipation. Jiese put his palms together and closed his eyes.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Jiese the Monk, have you experienced the eight hardships of life mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures?"
Jiese answered, "I can't avoid it. Never."
Li Nianfan asked again, "Then do you know how Buddha came to be?"
"I don't know." Jiese's expression became serious. He looked at Li Nianfan and begged for an answer.
Li Nianfan continued, "Buddhism did not come out of nowhere. Buddha was not Buddha in the beginning. He went through nine reincarnations. It was because he deeply experienced the hardships of life that he understood the eight hardships of life and was able to transcend. You have not even experienced the eight hardships and avoided them like a tiger. In the end, you are at a disadvantage. If you don't enter the world, how can you be born?"
Jiese was stunned. He widened his eyes and kept repeating Li Nianfan's words in his mind.
If he didn't enter the world, how could he be born?
Yes, he only knew about the eight hardships of life. He had never experienced them. Everything was just empty talk.
Li Nianfan only gave him a hint. However, he thought more about it.
For example, why would mortals believe in Buddhism? It was because they were experiencing the eight hardships of life. They were seeking relief. What about him?
As a Bodhisattva, he had not even experienced the eight hardships. His feelings were not even as deep as mortals.
"Amitabha." The Bodhisattva's expression kept changing. Ever since he became a Buddha, he had been restraining himself. His state of mind was as calm as water. However, there was a huge fluctuation in his state of mind.
Gradually, the ripple-like lake in his heart started to have waves. It caused a huge commotion.
"I … have learned!" He knelt down on both knees and bowed to Li Nianfan like a monk.
"It's good that you understand."
Li Nianfan let out a long sigh of relief. He did not say it explicitly. He only used a story and chicken soup to remind him. The choice was made by Jiese. It had nothing to do with him.
Yun Yiyi was full of admiration for Li Nianfan. Look, what was standard? This was standard!
He had demonstrated the art of speaking incisively and vividly.
Yun Yiyi said excitedly, "Jiese, you're going to marry me."
"Buddhism is about to be established. Demons are wreaking havoc. This is not the time to enter the world." Jiese did not deny it immediately. He continued, "After the establishment of the sect to slay the demons, if you're willing to wait, I'll marry you."
Yun Yiyi cheered and actually raised her hand to rub Jiese's bald head. "Monk, of course I'll wait for you!"
"Congratulations, Miss Yun. You've finally seen the light of day." Daji's eyes were filled with envy.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Li Nianfan. She secretly wondered if she should be more daring like Yun Yiyi.
However … the gap between her and the young master was too big. He was as bright and unreachable as the stars in the sky. Sigh, it would be good if she could be promoted from the role of a maid to a bed-warming maid.
After this episode, the atmosphere between everyone became more harmonious and cheerful. Qilin meat naturally became the best choice for celebration.
Everyone ate a Qilin feast. From braised Qilin meat to stir-fried Qilin liver and stewed Qilin tail, it was extremely sumptuous. Needless to say, it was delicious.
Along the way, they did not encounter any accidents. Li Nianfan was bored. He took out the golden stone and rubbed it in his palm.
