Chapter 399

"Monks are guided by compassion; since you, benefactor, have encountered a difficult matter, this poor monk naturally cannot stand idly by."

"I see red mixed with black in your brow; your career may be passable, but does it not hide a crisis?"

He couldn't help but give himself a mental thumbs-up.

You just said you made a huge sum from foreigners; saying your career is passable is no problem, right?

You yourself said many people are jealous; saying a crisis is hidden is no problem, right?

Su Meng nodded, his face full of melancholy.

"Yes, I have a serious crisis in my career recently!"

"I don't know how many people are jealous of me; I'm so worried I can hardly sleep!"

In the live stream, countless question marks flew up.

You have a crisis in your career?

One "Drawing Sword" suppressed the entire film and television circle, and one hand promoted Bai Xiao Ling to sweep the European and American music scene.

Even CCTV, disregarding past grievances, is subtly showing a trend of supporting you.

You actually say you have a crisis in your career?

Seeing that he had hit the mark, the old monk felt even more joy in his heart.

Glancing at Teacher Yuan Yuan as she walked away, he continued speaking.

"It's not just your career; haven't things been particularly unlucky in your love life recently?"

"Unlucky! Particularly unlucky!" Su Meng nodded repeatedly.

"Recently, because of matters concerning women, I don't know how many people are cursing me behind my back!"

"And those few women are too immature, fighting over a position."

Pfft~~~ Countless people in the live stream almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Do you feel guilty saying that?

Cursing people over women? Isn't it because you blew up Xiu Qin with one shot?

Those few women fighting over a position? Isn't it to fight for the roles in your play?

But hearing this, the old monk became even more excited.

Several women fighting over a position?

Damn it!

Even for the sake of all single dogs in the world, this old monk must strike a decisive blow today!

His heart was wild with joy, but his face wore an expression of difficulty.

After struggling for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh.

"Your problem is indeed quite serious."

"Enough, enough!"

"Monks are guided by compassion; since we have met, this poor monk cannot ignore it."

"Even if I have to risk this old life, I must resolve it for you!"

Having finished speaking, he took off a string of Buddhist beads from his hand, his face full of reluctance.

"This string of Buddhist beads is my protective object."

"It is a relic left by my Master, has accompanied me for many years, and has long possessed Buddha-nature."

"Today, I shall bestow this string of Buddhist beads upon you!"

"With its protection, you will surely turn danger into safety and misfortune into good fortune."

Su Meng was delighted and was just about to reach out to take it when the young monk beside him suddenly jumped up.

"Master! How can this be allowed?"

"This is a relic left by our Grand Master himself, and it was consecrated by ten great virtuous monks working together; it is the sacred heirloom of our lineage!"

"Back then, when those bosses offered a hundred thousand to buy it, you drove them all out directly!"

"How can you give it away so easily today?"

The old monk shook his head and said calmly.

"Duyuan, how did I teach you?"

"Monks are guided by compassion; when encountering someone in distress, how can one not reach out to help?"

"It's just a sacred heirloom of our sect; saving a young person is worth it!"

"What does money matter? We are monks; what do we need money for?"

"Wouldn't that tarnish our hearts turned toward the Buddha?"

Grandma Dashan beside him felt her piety grow even heavier in her eyes.

A truly virtuous monk!

This is a true master!

In the live stream, seeing this scene, many people suddenly froze.

This scene... why does it feel vaguely familiar?

But why can't I remember?

The young monk became even more anxious.

"But Master, we wander everywhere; it doesn't matter for me since I am young."

"But you are old; you rely entirely on this string of Buddhist beads for protection and safety to travel safely and remain healthy."

"We have no money for hotels and such; we all camp in the wild."

"If you lose the protection of the prayer beads, how can your body withstand this life of sleeping in the wind and dew?"

"You cannot sacrifice your life for a stranger, can you?"

A hint of difficulty appeared on the old monk's face, but he still shook his head firmly.

"Duyuan, say no more; my mind is made up!"

"Master!" the young monk pleaded bitterly.

"Even if not for yourself, think of all the people under heaven!"

"There are still many people in this world who need you to save them; you still need to spread the Buddha's compassion to more people!"

"If you fall, what will become of those lost souls?"

His words finally moved the old monk.

The old monk let out a long sigh, and his gaze toward Su Meng also held a hint of difficulty.

"Benefactor, since you and I are fated to meet, it is only right for this humble monk to remove your disaster."

"As a person who has left the world, this humble monk has no use for money."

"However, this humble monk must continue to wander the world to solve problems for more people."

"So, out of helplessness, I can only ask the benefactor for a donation, seeking a little money for travel expenses."

"Besides, benefactor, since you are wholeheartedly devoted to the Buddha, if I do not let you offer incense money, you would feel uneasy in your heart, wouldn't you?"

No! Something is terribly wrong!

Why do I feel it becoming more and more familiar?

Countless netizens in the live stream were completely baffled.

Why is this inexplicable sense of familiarity getting stronger and stronger?

I clearly never experienced this kind of thing, so why does it feel so familiar?

What the hell is going on here?

Suddenly, two words drifted quietly across the live stream's bullet comments—Sell Crutches!

Sell Crutches? These two words made everyone pause.

Why bring up this little skit all of a sudden?

But immediately, someone had a sudden realization.

Holy crap! Don't the words and deeds of these two monks follow exactly the same pattern as the big swindler in 'Sell Crutches'?

First, make the problem sound very serious to scare the person.

Then give them a solution to the problem.

I am still so noble, I don't want your money.
