Four years had passed since Liu Chen and White Lotus had acknowledged Wu Nian as their master. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the cycle of the seasons. Liu Chen and White Lotus had already undergone great changes under Wu Nian's education.
In these four years, Liu Chen had also grown from a young child to a mature youth. His face was filled with calmness and wisdom that did not match his age.
Liu Chen's current understanding of Buddhism and Zen had reached a very high level. His easygoing attitude towards reality wasn't something that a pretentious person could display.
Even Master Wu Nian was filled with admiration for Liu Chen's achievements. The Buddhist Dharma was something that could only be understood and not explained. Some people could not comprehend it even after they had spent their entire lives studying the Buddhist Dharma, while others could already understand the principles within it after listening to the Buddhist Dharma once.
In Master Wu Nian's eyes, Liu Chen belonged to the latter category. Liu Chen could comprehend the principles of Zen from the words of the Buddhist scriptures and use them flexibly. He was not rigid and continued to sublimate as he used them. In the end, it became a Buddhist principle that belonged only to him.
It was as if he was born for Buddhism. Liu Chen's understanding of Buddhism had already exceeded the scope of his understanding. He was already an extraordinary person.
Wu Nian believed that even if it wasn't him, as long as he came into contact with Buddhist scriptures, he would be able to learn it himself sooner or later. Therefore, Wu Nian's education of Liu Chen had always been at the stage of letting go.
Liu Chen also knew the reason why he was able to comprehend so quickly. It was because his soul had fused with his divine sense. While it increased his willpower, it also increased his comprehension. That was why he was able to comprehend so quickly.
As for White Lotus, if Liu Chen specialized in Buddhism and Zen, she specialized in strength. Although White Lotus's understanding of Buddhism was also very good, she was overly obsessed with strength. In just a year, she was able to master the Vajra that ordinary people might not be able to master in their entire lives.
Perhaps it was to protect his younger brother's obsession, but Wu Nian did not object to this. He was not as pedantic as ordinary monks. Having power was also the key to helping others and enlightening them.
"Life Lotus, have you finished reading the scriptures today?”
"Yes, Master Wu Nian!"
Liu Chen said to Wu Nian. Liu Chen was no longer as depressed as he was four years ago. Instead, he was wearing a black and white robe that Master Wu Nian had bought from outside. It was similar to a temple abbot's robe. White Lotus's clothes were somewhat of a binding style. Coupled with the untainted lotus aura, it gave people an incredible sense of affinity.
"Is there anything you don't understand?"
"There's nothing you don't understand, Master Wu Nian!”
"That's true. With your comprehension, you don't need me to solve anything!”
Wu Nian also smiled in relief. Having such a talented disciple, as a master, he was also quite pleased. Wu Nian was not afraid that Liu Chen would learn everything he knew, but he was afraid that he would not teach Liu Chen anything. He must teach a holy monk who would leave his name in history.
"Oh right, hasn't White Lotus returned yet?”
"Not yet. According to tradition, she went to a nearby village to do good deeds today. She might come back at night!”
In these four years, Liu Chen and White Lotus did not just immerse themselves in enlightenment. They also went out to help some villagers to increase their experience. Buddhism and Zen were hidden in the mortal world. It was impossible for Buddhist scriptures to explain everything.
During these four years, Liu Chen and Bai Lianyu's selfless help had also changed the villagers 'views of him. They no longer viewed him as a hostile person, but as a person who revered and respected him!
"I see! That was good too! Unknowingly, you've already become capable of taking charge of your own affairs.”
Wu Nian also sighed. Four years had passed in an instant. The two children who were afraid and vigilant back then had also grown up here.
Liu Chen didn't say anything. Time was merciless, and four years had passed in the blink of an eye.
"Master Wu Nian, you must be hiding something from us!”
Liu Chen's sudden words caused Wu Nian to be stunned. Then, he looked at Liu Chen's eyes. What kind of eyes were these? It was as if they could see through everything. Wu Nian saw the Sanskrit words called 'Truth' in Liu Chen's eyes.
Wu Nian said slowly.
"What did you see?"
Liu Chen seemed to know something as he slowly said.
"I had a feeling before, but now I'm sure. Master Wu Nian…you don't have much time left, right?”
Liu Chen could see Master Wu Nian's flame of life in his eyes. However, it was not like an ordinary healthy person who had a vigorous flame. Instead, it was like a candle flame that was about to be extinguished. It was on the verge of collapsing. This also indicated that this person did not have much time left.
Wu Nian looked at Liu Chen. Looking into his eyes, he slowly sighed.
"I didn't expect you to have already reached such a realm!”
Wu Nian thought that he had overestimated Liu Chen's talent, but he did not expect that he had underestimated Liu Chen's talent.
He already had one foot in the inhuman realm and had the qualifications to become a Buddha.
This was simply not the cultivation speed that mortals should have. Wu Nian even thought that Liu Chen was the reincarnation of Buddha.
Wu Nian had already confirmed that Liu Chen would definitely become a Saint Monk in the future!!
