Chapter 43: If One Becomes a Demon, What Can Buddha Do?
the city wall, he almost wanted to defy the orders of the Lei Ting Pavilion to rush back, luckily Ming Ye's message arrived in time, hearing that she was fine, his heart finally settled down. 。"Night...Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Things have come to this, and speaking more will be pointless. Brother, if it were possible, I truly wish to break off the engagement. I want to find someone who treats me with sincerity like you do, and spend my life with him as a devoted couple."
"Silly girl," Chu Tianqi gently stroked her head, and that inexplicable joy surged up in his heart again, like a thread, inch by inch occupying his heart.
"Brother, do you have someone you like" Xiao Yuge raised her eyes, her gaze as clear as water.
Chu Tianqi's expression became a little unnatural for a moment, he shook his head and curled his lips into a faint smile: "No..."

"No way. A handsome man like your brother must have countless admirers, he's probably just too picky. If I weren't your sister, I would be infatuated with him too." Infatuated Don't be ridiculous!
Xiao Yuge finished her song and flashed him a mischievous smile. Stretching, she stood up. Before Chu Tianqi could recover, she abruptly changed the subject: "Brother, let's stop practicing for today. I'm getting tired, so I'm going back to my room."
"Good." Chu Tianqi silently gazed at her delicate figure, his heart unable to calm down for a long time...

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yu Ge and Xiao Yu Fu took a carriage out of the city. Lanshan Temple was twenty miles south of the city, not too far or too close. Along the way, Xiao Yu Ge secretly kept a careful watch, occasionally glancing outside the carriage. According to her past life memories, Xiao Yu Fu had proactively invited her out of the city to make a wish, it definitely wouldn't be that simple. However, there was nothing unusual along the way. Could it be they had changed their minds
“Oh, by the way, sister, there are many trees and mosquitoes outside the city. I bought two mosquito repellent sachets with Si Chen yesterday when we went to the market, one for you and one for me.” At this moment, Xiao Yu Fu took out two sachets and handed one to Xiao Yu Ge.

“Thank you, elder sister.” Xiao Yu Ge took the scented pouch and sniffed it lightly: “Hmm, it smells really good!” The two pouches were identical in color and size, but the moment she received them, she noticed something different. She discreetly hung it on her waist.
Lán Shān Temple had a highly accomplished Buddhist master named Kōgen. It was said that he knew the past and future lives of all people, but he did not readily see incense-bearing visitors, except for those who were destined to meet him. Therefore, even though there was a constant stream of worshippers, his interactions remained infrequent.
"Miss, this Lanshan Temple is truly enormous!" As soon as Qing Luo alighted from the carriage, she couldn't help but exclaim in wonder.
>
"The inside is bigger." Xiao Yu Ge smiled and walked in with Xiao Yu Fu.
This is a test.
"Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao the Second, I didn't expect you to be here too!" The moment they stepped inside, they encountered Ye Ting and several noble ladies.
"Miss Ye, what a coincidence!" Xiao Yuge nodded slightly and gave Ye Ting a friendly smile. No matter what, at the last lotus flower banquet, although it was deliberately used, Ye Ting still testified for her, and besides, there was no conflict between them on weekdays.
"What a coincidence!" Ye Ting smiled gently and stepped forward, "Let's go in together."
In the solemn Buddhist temple, everyone knelt in devout prayer. Xiao Yu Ge also knelt there, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her forehead, as if something was about to emerge from her body. She instinctively reached out to block it, but she didn't notice that the towering Buddha statue seemed to emit a beam of dazzling purple light, shooting straight into the sky!
The purple light vanished in an instant. Fortunately, the noble ladies standing nearby were devoutly kneeling and didn't notice this miraculous sight!
Meanwhile, Zen'in-clan member and Thousand Thunder Pagoda master, Kokichi, happened to see the disappearing purple light. He immediately calculated with his fingers, and his face drastically changed. He stood up abruptly.
"Master, what happened" Qian Tingxuan also stood up.
"The Buddha appears in strange forms, it is certainly for those destined to meet. Your Highness, come with this old monk and see for yourself." After Kongjian Master finished speaking, he strode towards the Buddhist hall.
Here is the translation: >Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ye Ting invited the Xiao sisters to the nearby Palace of Destiny to inquire about their fortunes, but Xiao Yuge used an excuse to stay in the Buddhist hall. Reborn, she only sought revenge; what kind of marriage did she ever consider
>
Now, only she remained in the Buddha Hall. She re-lit three incense sticks and knelt before the Buddha: "I light these high incense to honor the deities, offering solace for my turbulent heart. There will always be incense before the gods, but life holds myriad sorrows. I wish autumn winds to carry away this parting sorrow, dissipating the turmoil within me..." If there truly were deities in this world, how could there be so much heartache
>
If there were gods, her past self had never harmed anyone, so why did she allow those three scoundrels to harm her, leading to such a tragic death But if there were no gods, how could she have been reborn She was torn between conflicting emotions, resentful of the unfairness of fate, yet grateful that heaven had granted her another chance at life.
"Amitabha!" At this moment, Kongjian Master walked in with clasped hands and heavy steps.
"Master!" Xiao Yuge also rose to her feet and bowed.
"My Dharma name is Kongjian," said Master Kongjian, approaching the girl and observing her discreetly.
>
"So you are Master Kongmian, the one who knows past and present lives. It's my disrespect." Xiao Yuge heard that the person before her was the legendary Master Kongmian, who knew everything about the past and the future. She felt a surge of respect in her heart, but she also secretly observed Master Kongmian. She found that he had a pair of eyes that seemed to see through her, which made her feel uneasy.
"Young master, you seem troubled. Is there a confusion in your heart Before the Buddha, there must be a karmic connection. Please speak freely and see if this old monk can dispel the doubts troubling your mind"
Xiao Yu Ge lowered her eyes and smiled calmly: "Even if the Immortal Fragrance is held above one's head, it can't dispel the worries of mortals! Thank you for your kindness, Master. The confusion in my heart, you cannot solve it!" Her sorrow had turned into resentment, what confusion could there be After saying this, she wanted to leave.

"Though she was about to leave, the Master called out to her: 'Little devotee, this is both karma and fate. The cause and effect of past lives have been settled. In this life, why not each find peace and well-being Why seek trouble for yourselves' "
Xiao Yu sang listened, letting out a cold laugh: "One should not advise others to be good if they have never experienced their suffering. Master doesn't understand this, does he You are compassionate and merciful, naturally able to speak easily of letting go, but I climbed out of hell precisely to drag them all into it!" She wanted them to taste her pain, to suffer as she had suffered.
Seeing the master, Kong sighed softly and muttered "Amitabha Buddha" before shaking his head. "One thought can bring enlightenment, one thought can lead to damnation. Little one, be careful!"

"If I become a demon, what will Buddha do!" Xiao Yuge turned and left. Just as she reached the door, she turned back and said, "Master Kongjian, the West courtyard has not been repaired for many years. At this time, the weather is dry and hot, so be careful of fire. The books in the library should also be moved to a different place." After saying that, she didn't linger any longer and strode away.

If she remembered correctly, on this very night in her past life, the west courtyard of Lán Shān Temple suddenly caught fire. Most of the monks lived there, and coupled with the fact that it was next to the scripture pavilion, the fire spread rapidly, leaving no time for control. As a result, countless monks perished in the flames. From then on, Lán Shān Temple began to decline.

She had no desire to become a Buddhist nun, but she couldn't bear to watch so many people perish in the fire.
She donated ten thousand taels of silver to the temple anonymously as a thank you to the gods for giving her a second chance at life, and left a letter for Master Kongjian.who did it on purpose. At that time, let them fight to the death.” Perhaps, the one who didn't want Ge Er to go into marriage the most was him."Very well! If that is the case, then I shall follow the...
