Chapter 31: 31 Can one marry and have children while cultivating under a Master

In fact, the Divine Nun Ciyun has her own Dharma name.

Her true Dharma name is called Liuli.

Because she possesses both excellent features and a beauty that could topple cities, and because she is graceful, slender, and curvaceous, the Jianghu initially referred to her as Liuli Fairy.

But later, for reasons unknown, this title gradually disappeared.

People honor her as a Master, calling her Divine Nun Ciyun.

In private, most call her the Long-tongued Nun.

As for Bolu Ciyun Temple, it is located thousands of miles northwest of Xizi Lake, north of the Han River, in Baisha City in the central part of Qi; it is a renowned temple with flourishing incense that even far exceeds the imperial temples.

The entire origin of this temple must be traced back eight hundred years to a young monk with the Dharma name Bolu.

He had profound Buddha-nature and grasped the Great Vehicle Buddhism, yet he was viewed as an outlier by the Buddha Gate of that time.

Thus, he traveled alone from the Imperial Capital Linzi of Qi, passing through Baisha City, and marveling at the superior terrain and geography there, he remained in Baisha City to found this temple.

Puluo Zushi, a master of Buddhist teachings.

With one move of the Heaven-tier Martial Art Great Sun Tathagata, no one could block him.

His true cultivation is unknown to the outside world; it is only known that he has lived for eight hundred years and is at least a powerhouse of the Saint-Following Realm, above the Divine Origin Realm! And the fact that Liuli can be mentioned in the same breath as Puluo, using the temple's name as her title for walking the Jianghu.

One can imagine that this not only received the approval of Puluo Zushi but also shows her status in the eyes of Puluo Zushi.

It is clear that he has already regarded her as his successor!

"I did not know it was Divine Nun Ciyun who had arrived in person, my sincere apologies!"

Liang Zhengang immediately admitted defeat, cupped his hands in a salute, and then turned to look at the disciple who had just called the Divine Nun Ciyun an 'old bald bitch', coldly shouting: "Wicked disciple, why have you not come to beg for forgiveness!"

That Lieyang Sect disciple's face turned white, and his legs trembled like a sieve.

Hearing his Master's words, he finally snapped out of his daze, hurriedly ran over, threw himself prostrate on the ground, and shouted for mercy.

"Enough, the ignorant are not guilty. This nun is not the type to use power to oppress others. This nun only wishes for everyone to put down their swords and blades and discuss matters reasonably. I wonder if this benefactor accepts this nun's mediation?"

Liuli turned her head to look at Liang Zhengang, flicked the Whisk in her hand, and gazed at him with deep eyes.

The corners of Liang Zhengang's eyes twitched.

You may not use power to oppress others, but you are using strength to oppress others!

This is clearly a stance that if I don't accept, you will beat me until I do! How could I not agree? "I accept, I accept, my apologies!"

"Ye Liushi, we shall meet another day!"

Liang Zhengang cupped his hands with a dark face, then pulled up his disciple who was still trembling like a sieve and left directly.

Once the people of the Lieyang Sect had completely disappeared from view.

Liu Qingmei then turned around, looked at the Divine Nun Ciyun, and said gratefully: "For today's matter, many thanks to you, Master, for resolving the siege. If you have time to visit Jinshui Town in the future, this junior will certainly fulfill the duties of a host."

These words already carried the intent of parting.

In these troubled times, although Liu Qingmei felt grateful, she did not have much time for idle chatter.

If it were anyone else, they would understand to part ways here.

But Liuli was clearly not anyone else.

Her gaze shifted to Ning Mu, and she said: "I wonder what relationship this young friend has with Benefactor Liu?"

Seeing the Divine Nun Ciyun's gaze fixed on her beloved disciple, Liu Qingmei immediately became vigilant.

"Master, this is this junior's Personal Disciple, Ning Mu!"

"Why, does the Master know him?"

Liu Qingmei deliberately emphasized the words 'Personal Disciple'.

If it were a few days ago, she would have wished for Ning Mu to be snatched away.

But now, Cangjian Villa is in a precarious state, and she needs powerful strength as a guarantee, while the system, which is like an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, is undoubtedly the only possibility to break the deadlock! And if she wants the system to help her improve her strength, she cannot lack Ning Mu, this key figure!

He... although he is her Personal Disciple.

In reality, he is her Binding Companion!

This unknown relationship made her have to keep Ning Mu firmly by her side! Just as her voice fell, Liuli did not respond, but instead lightly moved her lotus steps toward Ning Mu.

Liuli stopped at a distance of three feet in front of Ning Mu and carefully looked him over.

Not knowing what she saw, the more she looked, the more delighted she became.

Ning Mu was almost feeling uncomfortable when she finally spoke, her attitude gentle: "Young friend Ning, this nun's Dharma name is Liuli. I observe that you have excellent Buddha-nature, and perhaps you only need a flash of inspiration to achieve complete enlightenment. At that time, even if you cannot become a Buddha on the spot, you can be reborn and attain insight into your true nature. Would you be willing to follow me into the Buddha Gate to cultivate?"

The Divine Nun Ciyun's politeness and regard for Ning Mu immediately caused a stir.

Especially since she had not introduced her Dharma name when facing the two Grandmaster-level seniors, Liu Qingmei and Liang Zhengang.

Yet when facing Ning Mu, she introduced her Dharma name separately; this level of regard left everyone incomparably shocked!

Especially Ye Yutan. The look in his eyes as he stared at Ning Mu was full of jealousy.

What right does he have!

A mere stable hand, who gained the favor of his little aunt and leaped to become a Personal Disciple, not to mention that.

Now, even a top-tier titan of the Jianghu like the Divine Nun Ciyun looks at him differently and invites him with such affection?

Is his talent really that awesome? Ye Yutan could not figure it out, his face full of resentment.

"..."

Ning Mu was also looking at Liuli in surprise.

He had not reacted at all.

Could it be that the nuns in this world really have Buddha eyes?

Can she see at a glance that he possesses a cheat? Ning Mu thought with trepidation in his heart.

"Master!"

Liu Qingmei could no longer sit still!

She immediately leaned over, her face grave as she said, "Ning Mu is my Personal Disciple; for you to act this way, Master, is it not a bit... out of line!"

She had wanted to say that this was bullying others too far.

But considering the other party's strength, she still left some face.

As her voice fell, she glanced at Ning Mu from the corner of her eye, her gaze containing a glimmer of expectation; clearly, she did not wish for him to leave.

To snatch someone's Personal Disciple is like stealing someone's beloved child.

This is a deep, irreconcilable hatred!

"Master, rest assured, even if you beat me to death, I am still your Personal Disciple!"

Ning Mu spoke up at the right moment to offer his assurance.

This was both to give Liu Qingmei peace of mind and to better farm her Loyalty.

How could he miss such a good opportunity??

Sure enough.

As Ning Mu's words landed, the system's feedback notification immediately jumped.

【Your sincerity and devotion have moved Liu Qingmei, the owner of the Number One Sub-System, immensely. Liu Qingmei's Loyalty Value has increased significantly by 8%; current Loyalty Value is 42%...】

Upon hearing the words of this master and disciple, Liuli flicked her Whisk, looked at Liu Qingmei calmly, and said with composure, "Benefactor, do not worry. This nun does not intend to compete with you. Since he is your Personal Disciple, young friend Ning is of course yours. This nun merely feels that his Buddha-nature is excellent and intended to teach him Buddhist Dharma. If Benefactor Liu does not mind, this nun can take him as a Registered Disciple. In this way, he can study the teachings of both sides. How about it?"

"So that is how it is; this junior misunderstood!"

Hearing Liuli explain it clearly, Liu Qingmei looked embarrassed and cupped her hands in a bow.

Then.

Liuli looked at Ning Mu again and smiled gently, "Young friend Ning, would you be willing?"

Ning Mu hesitated and glanced at Liu Qingmei.

Seeing Liu Qingmei nod, he then asked, "Master, please forgive this junior's rudeness, but may I ask: if I follow you to practice Buddhist Dharma, can I still take a wife, have children, and engage in intimacy with women?"

"..."

Once these words were spoken, everyone was speechless.

To be able to cultivate with a Personal Disciple of Puluo Zushi—what more could one ask for with such a miraculous encounter? If this were to spread, countless people would break their heads trying to get in; even if it meant never marrying for life, they would flock to it.

Yet he, on the other hand, was most concerned about this...

Liu Qingmei felt a chill.

But immediately after, she couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

This brat!

She had forgotten this point; his desires are so great, how could he ever cross the threshold of the Buddhist path?

Liu Qingmei was instantly at ease.

Ye Yutan nodded in deep agreement and secretly gave Ning Mu a thumbs up.

If it were him, if he had to trade such ultimate life pleasures, he would rather not cultivate!

Liuli was also stunned for a moment.

Clearly, she had not expected this young friend before her to ask such a thing.

But immediately, she shook her head slightly, and her thin lips softly spat out a few words.

"Naturally, that is not allowed!"
