Qi Mu smiled. A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes as he said:

"What does master mean by this?"

Without waiting for the monk's reply, Yang Lili and Ye Dazhuang rushed up. Yang Lili pointed at the monk in surprise and said:

"Master, were you the expert that passed by my house when we were traveling?"

After finishing her sentence, Yang Lili realized that her actions were inappropriate, so she quickly blessed herself and bowed to the monk. She then looked at the monk eagerly, completely throwing away the woman's rules.

What was more important than her Mu Er?

The monk nodded and said:

"Madam, you have a good memory. This old man is that passerby from back then."

Hearing this, not only did Yang Lili get agitated, but Ye Dazhuang also lost his patience. He pulled Qi Mu and shouted,

"My daughter, come, hurry up and pay your respects to the master. He's your benefactor …"

When Qi Mu heard this, she felt quite amused in her heart. Did her father have a screw loose? She had clearly seen the courtesy just now. Although this was what she was thinking in her heart, her actions were still obedient. She obediently gave the full salute to the monk, saying:

"Master."

When the monk saw this, he chuckled. His benevolent appearance made him look like a Buddha from the heavens in the west.

"Master, I beg of you to save my Mu Er. She's a good child. She shouldn't have been wasted so easily in her entire life …"

Yang Lili kneeled down in front of the monk and cried out. She beat Qi Mu up, but before Qi Mu could react, Ye Dazhuang also kneeled down along with Yang Lili and said,

"Master, please be merciful and save my daughter. We can't let her be ruined forever …"

Yang Lili and her wife were both kneeling in front of the monk. Qi Mu was confused, but she couldn't help but kneel down as well. Her parents were both kneeling. What was it for her to stand alone?

Before the monk could say anything, Aunt Wu angrily walked down from the hall and said with a frown:

"What are you two up to? "Don't think that just because you invited a lousy monk of unknown origins, that lass will be able to turn the sky upside down. This is the rule; what should be done or done!"

Niu Fusheng was stunned for a moment and finally recovered from the memories of many years ago. He looked slightly happy as he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Aunt Wu's arm and pulled her back. He shouted in a low voice,

"Calm down, don't you see who is in front of you? You dare to do this? Do you have any rules? Do you want to be chased out of the Niu Family after offending your benefactor? "

Only when he saw that the Wu family's aunt had her head lowered as if she didn't dare to speak anymore nonsense, did Niu Fusheng feel slightly satisfied. He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and walked up to the monk.

"Master, it has been many years since we last met. How have you been?"

"Excellent."

Seeing the interaction between the monk and Village Chief Niu, the corners of Qi Mu's lips curled up. However, his eyes were as calm as a serene pool of water. Just what was the origin of this monk?

"All of you get up. This old man is a Buddha, but not a Buddha. It's useless for all of you to kneel."

His face was wrinkled like a ravine, and his every move was not overly intimate. However, for some reason, people would always feel like they were looking at him and listening to his words, feeling the warmth of a spring breeze blowing through their bodies.

Qi Mu felt more and more that there must be something going on inside. It was not that this monk had a great background, but with his shabby clothes, how could he obtain such respect in such a remote place like Niu Manor?

"Grandmaster, what have you come here for?"

Niu Fusheng slightly raised his eyes. Since he was the head of the village and had the highest status here, he dared to ask. His expression was very cautious, as if he was afraid that the master would anger him.

On the other hand, that monk did not have many rules. He slowly said with a smile,

"Village Chief Niu is indeed capable. After so many years, even the younger generations have grown up. From generation to generation, there have been many talented people. Village Chief Niu is still standing firmly in the position of village chief."

Niu Fusheng couldn't figure out what the monk meant. Was he trying to praise himself for being able to do it? He had been the village chief for too long, so he could only smile. However, he felt that it was not good to be a master, so he tried saying:

"Is there anyone among the younger generation from Niu Zhuang whom the master has his eyes on?"

Unexpectedly, the monk was just stroking his beard and smiling. His calm eyes seemed to see through what Niu Fusheng was thinking, but he did not reveal it on the surface. He only spoke about him, and said,

"This old man has not come here today to work for the Village Chief. He is here to select a talented individual. He has come here this time only to seek personal favor from the Village Chief."

"Master, please say it. Even if I have to give my all, I will treat this as my master. Moreover, Niu Zhuang still owes Master a favor."

The monk smiled amiably as he glanced at Qi Mu before shifting his gaze to Niu Fusheng and slowly said:

"What this old man wants is what this couple wants."

When Niu Fusheng heard this, he could not believe his ears and said:

"Great master, are you talking about the matter of Mu Linger? But that …"

The monk nodded. His eyes were calm and firm. With an irrefutable strength, he said:

"Exactly, this is the matter that this old man was talking about."

At the side, Ye Dazhuang and Yang Lili were supporting each other as tears streamed down their faces. They started to incoherently thank the Master. As the person involved, Qi Mu had some thoughts in his heart, but seeing Yang Lili crying again, he went up to comfort her in a soft voice.

After Niu Fusheng heard the monk's affirmation, he lightly furrowed his brows and decisively said,

"Grandmaster has a heart of gold. Mu Liuyue is innocent to begin with. Since Grandmaster is speaking up for Mu Liuyue, there's no point in not doing this."

"Master, rest assured, I will personally report this to the ancestor and village elders to prevent this girl from suffering."

The monk seemed to have anticipated these words. With a calm expression, he nodded and said:

"Very good."

He looked at Qi Mu and faintly smiled as he said:

"Miss, can you chat with this old one for a while?"

"Master, of course, it doesn't matter how long you have to say it …"

Before she could open her mouth to reply, Yang Lili choked with sobs and replied on her behalf. After she finished speaking, she told Qi Mu in public, as if she was afraid that Qi Mo wouldn't understand anything.

"Mu Er, you have to talk to the great master properly. I missed your little life, and the great master even saved it. Otherwise, how could you be the current you?" Even your name was given to you by the great master condescension. You must speak properly with the great master. In front of the great master, you must be respectful … "

Qi Mu felt helpless. When had she ever done something that didn't follow the rules? After hearing Yang Lili's words, under the gaze of the crowd, Qi Mu followed the monk out of the Wu residence.

Qi Mu only felt that the scenery around him was clearly something he was watching day in and day out. He didn't know why, but after a closer look, it seemed that nothing had changed. Qi Mu became even more confused.

When the monk finally stopped, Qi Mu already had a headache, like countless needles stabbing her. She barely managed to straighten her body, and in a trance, she saw the monk gently wave his wide sleeves, and the needles in Qi Mu's brain immediately disappeared.

"Lady, are you better? This life-altering rebirth is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Naturally, it will endure a bit more than the others. "

Qi Mu looked at the monk with an amiable smile on his face. His eyes gradually became cold and his heart trembled slightly. His smile remained the same as usual, but he didn't say anything.

The monk didn't care about Qi Mu's reaction and continued:

"If young lady wishes to succeed in this life, then you will have to pass three tribulations. This old man has helped you through two, and the remaining tribulation cannot be interfered with rashly. Whether you live or die, will all be decided by young lady with a thought."

When Qi Mu heard this, his smile became brighter and brighter. However, he secretly thought to himself. After a long while, he slowly said:

"Does the master know who I am? Do you know where I come from? "

"How could I not know? However, a strand of lonely soul, there is no need to delve too deeply into these matters. Just live in the present moment and that will be the true meaning of your life. "

"Buddhist Insight? I don't believe in Buddhism, where does it come from? Who was the Buddha? "How can you control me?"

"One flower, one world. One leaf, one Subhuti."

Seeing the monk say these words word by word, Qi Mu suddenly felt that he had made a mistake. She calmed her heart and said:

"Master, please feel free to offend Qi Mu. However, I have many doubts in my heart. Master, please explain."

"This old man knows what to say."

"I was already dead. Why am I still alive? Could it be that everyone is like that?"

"This is your destiny. The debt that you owe from your previous life, if you want to repay it in this life, you will have to live it up. Other people have their own destiny. How can a mere land allow all living things to reincarnate? "

"Debt? "Whose debt?"

The monk shook his head and said:

"When the time comes, Miss will naturally know. If I say too much, I'll ruin the cause and effect. On the contrary, it won't be beautiful."

"Alright, then I won't ask you this, but Master can always tell me, what are the three tribulations that I will face in this life?"

The first of these three tribulations is to change your name. You and she are a thousand years apart, so if you want to borrow her name to live, then your name should be the same.

The original name of Qi Mu was Ye Jinhua, but it was later changed to Ye Qimu. Thinking about it, that monk must have said something about this matter.

The second tribulation is today's. The Dark Dweller Tribulation is something that originally did not belong to you, and your soul hasn't fused with your body. Normally, there is nothing to be done, but if you spend the night in the same coffin as the Dark Dweller, then your soul will be destroyed.

Qi Mu shivered, a trace of lingering fear in her eyes. She originally thought that she would be fine, but she didn't expect … Calming herself down, she asked:

"What about the third tribulation?"

The third tribulation, that is the true great tribulation. The first two tribulations, this old man can help you pass through them safely, but the last tribulation is powerless, and that is the Buddha's will. When you solve it yourself, this old man can only remind the young lady one more time: Everything must be resolved in one thought.

When Qi Mu heard this, he knew that there was no way for the monk to say anything more. He then turned around, bowed, and thanked the monk.

The monk smiled and was about to leave. However, before he left, he turned his head back and said:

"This old one's journey is boundless, and I have some fate with you. Thus, I'll say one more thing. The wutong's perching phoenix, this young lady shouldn't stay here any longer. There's no point in staying any longer."
