Chapter 212: The Monk and the Rabbit
A few days later, Jiuling Peak, Fang Zijie Cave Mansion...
"Brother Fang, I wonder how long it will take for this spiritual insect to grow the fastest?" Wang Shuo asked.
Fang Zijie thought for a while: "It takes more than fifty years to successfully grow from a seedling to level five or above. If you can swallow a large amount of the demon core inner elixirs of other demon beasts, you can naturally speed up your growth!"
Wang Shuo nodded: "If we start from Miao and swallow two demon pills of level seven or above, how fast will it be?"
Fang Zijie's eyes widened: "This... I'm afraid these two demon pills need to be refined, otherwise the insect seedlings will not be able to swallow them. If they are really swallowed, there is no way to know. After all, feeding demon pills to seedlings is impossible.
Never before!"
Qi Yuhui also seemed a little confused: "Are you planning to raise spiritual insects?"
Wang Shuo nodded: "I happen to have two seedlings that will be useful to me when they mature, and I plan to grow them quickly!"
Fang Zijie's eyes lit up: "In that case, why don't you take it out and show it to me, and I'll know for sure!"
After hearing what Fang Zijie said, Wang Shuo released two Taiyan spider seedlings.
The three of them leaned down and looked at the two hair-thin spider seedlings, and they all frowned. Qi Yuhui asked in confusion: "How can they be so small!"
Fang Zijie frowned: "It's so small that it's really impossible to tell the type!"
Wang Shuo smiled bitterly: "These are Taiyan spider seedlings, one female and one male. I wonder if there is a way to make them grow bigger!"
"It's easy to say. These two spiders seem to have been sleeping in the gourd for a long time. Feed them some dew first and let them grow on their own for a while. They will probably be as big as a little finger in a month!" Fang Zijie nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to Brother Fang..."
"Ah? What if I..."
"I plan to go to Senior Long's place again tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I'll take care of this!"
The conversation between the two made Qi Yuhui laugh out loud: "Speaking of which, I wonder how Miss Xu Fang is thinking about it?"
Wang Shuo smiled slightly: "Maybe I'm waiting for Brother Fang to go find her!"
…
The next day, the three of them went to Longlan's temple again. Longlan was sitting in meditation with the disciples with his eyes closed.
The woman's eyes were lightly closed, as if she didn't realize that Wang Shuo and the others were coming. Qi Yuhui looked at the female disciples in the hall: "What can you do with this kind of practice?"
Wang Shuo shook his head: "Although Jiuling Peak's Xiangless Way and cultivation method are somewhat difficult to understand, its strength should not be underestimated!"
As for Fang Zijie, his eyes were fixed on Xu Fang's face, and his face blossomed with joy: "If Junior Sister Xu Fang is interested in me, I will ask Master to intercede with Senior Uncle Long when the time comes..."
Wang Shuo was also amused by him: "Then what if she doesn't agree?"
"If she doesn't agree..."
After a long time, Fang Zijie sighed, and his original smile suddenly turned a lot more disappointed: "Then it can only be said that I have no connection with her, and I will treat her as a passer-by from now on!"
Hearing this, Wang Shuo's heart moved and he recalled his love affair with Yan Yue when he was his age. It seemed that he was like Fang Zijie at that time.
If Wu Renqun hadn't made peace with the head of the Changkong family, he might have become strangers to Yan Yue.
Qi Yuhui saw that Wang Shuo and Fang Zijie looked strange, so he tugged on Wang Shuo's sleeves and said softly: "What's wrong?"
Only then did Wang Shuo realize that he had a strange look on his face. He didn't even notice it, so he forced out a smile and said, "Nothing, just thinking about the past!"
Qi Yuhui pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions.
An hour later…
The female disciples in the lobby stood up one after another and exited the lobby. Long Lan still didn't open her eyes and said to Xu Yuan and Xu Fang beside her: "Accept the guest!"
The two women met the three people outside the lobby. The corners of Xu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, but Xu Fang's face turned red. The two responded and went out of the lobby to meet Fang Zijie and Qi Yuhui. Wang Shuo entered the lobby alone.
The door to the lobby closed with a bang as usual, leaving Wang Shuo and Long Lan alone.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, and two rays of semen shot out from her eyes. Her cultivation level was much better than last time!
As for what happened last time, Long Lan seemed to have already forgotten it, and her expression remained as usual: "I wonder what Fellow Daoist Wang is here to discuss this time?"
"A man had a grudge against me, and I killed him. His brother wanted to kill me for revenge, so I killed him too. Is this my fault?" Wang Shuo said as he changed to reveal his original appearance!
Long Lan said slowly: "No matter who is right or wrong, do you think the two brothers are in pain, or... are you in pain?"
Wang Shuo suddenly grinned and shook his head: "If they two die, there will be no pain, and I will not suffer either, because I believe that the fault is not mine!"
"In that case, why care about right or wrong!"
"It turns out that if no one is suffering, there is no need to care about right or wrong..." Wang Shuo lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Long Lan added: "How about today I tell a story to fellow Taoist Wang, and Taoist Wang will tell you about the people in the story based on his feelings!"
Wang Shuo smiled and sat cross-legged: "Very good!"
An old monk planted a field, and a rabbit often came to steal the crops. Every time the old monk persuaded the rabbit: "Don't steal!"
However, the rabbit ignored the old monk and continued to go his own way, and even brought other rabbits to steal the crops.
Until one day, the rabbit was caught by an eagle in the field, and he desperately begged the monk to save his life, but the monk ignored him and just stared at the dilapidated field silently.
After hearing this story, Wang Shuo suddenly laughed: "I thought it was like a Buddhist story about a monk cutting flesh!"
Long Lan also smiled: "In this story, which is similar but different from Buddhism and Taoism, can Taoist Wang understand the rabbit and the monk?"
Wang Shuo thought about it: "My field is eaten by rabbits, rabbits are eaten by eagles, and after the death of the eagle, it turns into soil to nourish the fields. This is the reincarnation of heaven. The monk understands it, so he does not interfere!"
"As for the rabbit, consider yourself unlucky. If it stops jumping around in the fields, it won't be seen by the eagles!"
Long Lan nodded: "What fellow Taoist said is what most practitioners would think of... Why not put it in another way?"
Wang Shuo frowned: "Put it another way?" Once again lost in thought, Long Lan looked at Wang Shuo quietly, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly Wang Shuo said: "Monks are considered fools in this world, rabbits are the monsters in this world, and eagles are the judgment of heaven. Fools are unmoved in the face of the evil in the world, so that monsters and monsters flourish freely. Even if it is judged by heaven later, it has already been judged by heaven.
It’s a waste of time!”
Long Lan rolled his eyes: "Fellow Taoist Wang is very smart, but what if the monk cuts his flesh to the eagle like in the original Buddhist story?"
"Then this monk is not just a fool, but a wicked person! How can a piece of flesh influence the demons and monsters? What he did was a heinous crime. Because his piece of flesh allowed the monsters to continue to spread, isn't he a wicked person?"
Hearing this, Long Lan nodded, seeming to understand.
