Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 631 - 629: This Is Not a Coincidence

Lin Wanwan looked bewildered and imdiately said, "No, I truly have no affinity with Buddha."

"No, no, no, female patron, you have an affinity with our Buddha!" the monks insisted.

"Bodhi is fundantally without a tree, the bright mirror also has no stand. Such profound Buddhist insight, such deep understanding!"

At this mont, Brother Ah San looked a little deranged.

Lin Wanwan unconsciously stood up to leave, but was grabbed by an equally excited elderly man in a purple robe: "You were born to be a Bhikkhuni, you should beco a monk!"

What’s wrong with you! If you want to beco a monk, why don’t you go yourself!

The bustling world, delicious food and wine, she hasn’t had enough yet! She’d be crazy to beco a monk!

Lin Wanwan pulled back her sleeve, her face cold as she said, "Respect yourself, old man!"

Doesn’t matter if you’re a high-ranking official, asking to beco a monk, you’re dreaming.

The elderly man in the purple robe stood up from the prayer mat, his gaze sharp as he asked, "Whose wife are you?"

"It’s none of your business, I’m sorry but I can’t tell you."

Lin Wanwan did not answer the old man’s question, instead, she frowned and looked at him for a while.

She felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen him sowhere before.

At this mont, the monk Ah San spoke again: "Amitabha! Although the female patron is in the cycle of the bustling world, she has already revealed her innate wisdom, truly blessed by the Buddhist sect, would you be willing to beco a disciple of our Buddhist sect?"

Lin Wanwan clasped her hands firmly, "Sorry, I don’t have that kind of spiritual root, my six senses aren’t pure, I carry heavy delusion, greed, and obsession, I’m really not suited for the Buddhist sect."

The elderly man in the purple robe said again: "You, young lady, don’t know what’s good for you, whose wife is your husband? I definitely need to et him."

Lin Wanwan frowned, why is this old man so arrogant, what does it matter to you?

But she knew soone who could wear a purple robe certainly wasn’t an insignificant character, so it was better not to argue publicly, it wouldn’t be worth it, so she snorted coldly and turned her head away from him.

To be honest, in Lin Wanwan’s situation, having such spiritual root, being able to recite "Bodhi is fundantally without a tree, the bright mirror also has no stand," if she had no backing, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to be forcibly made to beco a monk.

The current Buddhist and Taoist powers couldn’t be underestimated, they also greatly needed talent.

The speaking monk Ah San had already stood up at this ti, and said to Lin Wanwan: "Female patron, co to the tea room with for a cup of tea."

Lin Wanwan glanced at the various gazes in the hall, made a gesture to the maids beside her, then followed the monk Ah San.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t appreciate the tea culture of the Great Tang, and tea brewed by monks was no exception.

Seated on her knees on the prayer mat, Lin Wanwan was followed by three maidservants, with Kun Lun and Sun Chuyao waiting at the door, making quite a scene.

Having lived in the Great Tang for a long ti, Ah San’s lifestyle was completely assimilated, his way of making tea was as well: "The person earlier was Duke Song, from the Lanling Xiao clan, known for being upright and outspoken; female patron please don’t mind."

Lin Wanwan’s mouth fell open in shock, almost enough to fit a yolk.

She had said it, that old man looked familiar, turns out to be Empress Xiao’s little brother, Xiao Chong’s grandfather!

He did have a bit of those two’s looks, a handso old BABY indeed. Just that his temper was really hard to complint, no wonder Li Shimin let him rise and fall six tis.

At first, Lin Wanwan thought Xiao Yu’s reason for rising and falling six tis on positions was due to his noble birth.

Recent materials organized by Lu Shouyue for her, however, had a different and very reasonable explanation.

It said because Li Shimin wanted to grant his sons territories, to restore the forr feudal system.

Li Shimin tried several tis, because he had beloved sons, but every ti it was logically opposed by the court ministers.

Only Xiao Yu supported his idea, it struck a chord with him, which is why he was repeatedly brought down and then brought up again.

The feudal system was a system from the Shang and Zhou periods, prevalent for over a thousand years, later Emperor Qin Shi Huang saw it not conducive to centralizing power and promptly changed it to a prefecture system.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang had remarkable determination not common in emperors; most of what he did was pioneering, many later emperors rely copied his assignnts.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t understand why Li Shimin wanted to open a historical reverse flow, fortunately the ministers were more clear-headed, otherwise unifying Huaxia would not have been easy.

Lost in her thoughts, the calls of monk Ah San several tis finally brought her mind back.

"Uh, sorry, Master, lately my spirits have been weak, I was a bit distracted."

Lin Wanwan had no patience to discuss Buddhist law with Ah San, she was using distraction to tell the other party that she had no interest in Buddhism whatsoever.

Ah San sang a solo for quite a while, seeing Lin Wanwan unreceptive, he wasn’t angry, worthy of a monk good at ditation, his patience was strong.

"I’m not sure about the suggestion I just made, would the female patron be willing?"

Lin Wanwan had not been listening to what he was saying, she was just thinking about the differences between Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Li Shimin.

At this mont, hearing his question, she smiled slightly: "I’m sorry, Master, I think I don’t have any spiritual roots."

Ah San chuckled: "Buddha says you do, so you do, no need to be modest. The Heart Lamp Saintess, none other than you."

Lin Wanwan suddenly had a ?? face: "Master, what Heart Lamp Saintess?"

Why does it sound so wrong, anything related to saintess, always feels like there’s nothing good.

Even the saintesses of the Demon Sect generally have to remain single for life, it’s no different from being a monk. Xiao Zhao in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber gave up on Zhang Wuji because she was a saintess.

This is the persistent intention to make a monk!

Then, this monk Ah San explained to Lin Wanwan about the Heart Lamp Saintess, quite adamant about noticing her.

In short, becoming this so-called Heart Lamp Saintess ans a great blessing, ensuring stability for a lifeti, it doesn’t an truly needing to remain single for life. Of course, if choosing to be single, then practicing with hair would naturally be better.

The price to pay is not being able to return ho before the next Buddhist event, needing to stay in the temple to cultivate tranquility, cutting off worldly distractions.

The next Buddhist event is nine days later, not long from now.

After the Buddhist event, returning ho to continue fasting and practicing for eighty-one days, then there will be no further obligation to Buddha.

What Lin Wanwan would gain is the admiration of all Buddhists, from then on her secular identity would be unimportant, her identity as saintess would be her talisman, representing her fate.

But, is this a joke!

Her teacher is Elder Sun, a Taoist, asking her to be a Buddhist saintess now?

Though she hadn’t formally gone through the apprenticeship with Elder Sun, in her heart she considered Elder Sun her ntor.

If asked to be a Taoist saintess, she might consider it, but forget about Buddhism.

Just as she refused the monk, suddenly he showed a aningful smile: "Female patron’s face is not of the Great Tang’s worldly people, becoming a saintess, you can gain true freedom, maybe think it over again."

Lin Wanwan was about to refuse again, when in the corner of her eye she saw a familiar handwriting on a piece behind the old monk.

The stranger it seed, the more she thought, suddenly asking, how about Xiao Zifang’s Buddhist law?

The monk answered: Very good.

It all made sense now, Lin Wanwan was almost tearful, after a mont of contemplation, she finally agreed to the old monk’s proposal.

He said to protect her freedom, indeed he ant it.
