"Master Chaner, have you known for a long time that Jiang Liu is the incarnation of Buddhist beads?" Lu Huaming asked, looking at the string of purple Buddhist beads.
"Jiang Liu told me." Chaner nodded.
"Then why didn't you report him to the Master and speak on his behalf?" Lu Huaming opened his eyes wide, his face full of confusion.
"I think all beings are equal. Why should we distinguish between true and false? As long as we work for the welfare of the people, it doesn't matter if I preach the Dharma for him. It would be even better if I can convert Jiang Liu through this." Zener said seriously.
After hearing this, Lu Huaming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little Master Zen was really stupid.
"Master, since Jiang Liu has realized his mistake, please forgive him. Let him follow me and practice diligently in the form of a Buddhist rosary. Perhaps the evil blood and hostility in him can be gradually purified." Zener said to Master Haishi.
"Since you said so, Zener, then okay. Fozhu, you should stay by Zener's side and practice well from now on. Don't cause any more trouble, and you must protect Zener well," said Zen Master Haishi.
"Tsk, why do you keep nagging me? I have protected him for several lifetimes!" said Fozhu with a snort.
When the other monks heard what Zen Master Hai Shi said, although one or two of them were still dissatisfied, they didn't say anything else.
"Thank you both for your help today. This old monk would like to thank you on behalf of everyone in Jinshan Temple." Zen Master Hai Shi dealt with the matter of Wai Jiangliu, then turned around and bowed to Shen Luo and Lu Huaming.
"Master, you are too polite. Exorcising demons and defending the Way is the duty of righteous cultivators like us. However, Fellow Daoist Shen and I are here to invite Jin Chan to reincarnate and go to Chang'an to preside over the Water and Land Conference. We hope that Master can agree to this." Lu Huaming bowed.
Jiang Liu had already despaired after seeing such a drastic change, but unexpectedly, Jin Chan was reincarnated as Zener. He was overjoyed and immediately brought up the matter.
"The Water and Land Assembly is a grand ceremony that benefits the country and the people. Naturally, our Jinshan Temple will fully support it. Chaner, are you willing to go?" After pondering for a moment, Zen Master Haishi said to Chaner.
"The people of Chang'an have unfortunately suffered a disaster. I am about to go there to save all living beings and spread the compassion of Buddha." Zener nodded and said.
"Thank you, Master Chaner." Lu Huaming was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.
"If we arrive one day later, the people in the city will suffer one day. Let's set off now, two donors." Zener said impatiently.
"It's just that Jinshan Temple was robbed today, and we need some time to repair it. Also, Zener was injured by Jiang Liu before, and this old monk needs to cast a spell to heal him. How about asking the two donors to wait for half a day?" said Zen Master Haishi.
"Of course there's no problem." Lu Huaming nodded.
There are still a few days until the water and land conference, so half a day won’t make a difference.
When Zen Master Haishi saw this, he wanted to take Chaner away.
"Master Chaner, please wait a moment. I have something to ask you." Shen Luo, who had been standing aside without saying anything, suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter, donor?" Zener stopped.
"Since Master Zener is the real reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, what impression do you have about why Jin Chanzi was reincarnated?" Shen Luo asked.
When the others heard this, they remembered the incident and looked at Chaner together.
"This... Although I have become the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, I really have no memory of Golden Cicada's past. Do you know about Buddhist beads?" Zener scratched his head and looked at the Buddhist beads in his hand.
