Chapter 335: Philosophical insight, great philosophical insight ah

~8 min read 1,415 words

Stop stop stop

Maitreya hurriedly stopped him: "I understand, I understand"

He really couldn't stand his protégé's habit sometimes; sometimes it was fine, sometimes the nagging gave him a headache, and yet he remained unaware of it.

Jin Chanzi shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to listen, then he wouldn't say anything.

After taking a light breath, Jin Chanzi suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils glowing with light.

"What is this aroma? Why is it so fragrant?"

Jin Chanzi couldn't help but speak.

Even vegetarian food couldn't be this fragrant!

"Of course it's the vegetable fragrance"

Maitreya naturally said, still puckering his lips at the red-braised pork ribs on the plate.

Jin Chanzi looked at Maitreya turning sideways to reveal the meat ribs, his face full of surprise.

"This is... meat dishes?"

Jin Chanzi hesitated.

He had long resided on Ling Mountain, never having seen, let alone eaten, meat dishes.

"Exactly"

Maitreya laughed heartily, directly admitting: "This dish is called red-braised pork ribs, it's always delicious, this is none other than Great Chef Sun Wukong's signature skill"

Maitreya had no concealment, for he knew Jin Chanzi was different from others.

"Where where, I'm still far behind"

Sun Wukong let out a hearty laugh.

Sun Wukong was very humble, because compared to his master, he was indeed vastly inferior, but his cooking being recognized did indeed make him especially happy.

As expected, Jin Chanzi remained as calm as Maitreya had thought.

"Maitreya Protégé Uncle, do you know the rules of our Buddhist Sect?"

Jin Chanzi asked softly.

"I am your Protégé Uncle, how could I not know?"

Maitreya said naturally.

Jin Chanzi furrowed his brow: "Then Protégé Uncle, why do you still knowingly violate it?"

Not eating meat is the most fundamental rule of our Buddhist Sect; Protégé Uncle has already attained Prepared Saint cultivation, how could he lack even this bit of resolve? Hearing Jin Chanzi's words, Maitreya was somewhat speechless, what else could it be but because it's too delicious!

Simply unable to restrain oneself!

Not to mention him, at the Peach Banquet so many immortals didn't also eat like that? Admittedly they don't need to follow any purity rules, but being able to move all immortals is also sufficient to prove the point!

"Unknown, Protégé Nephew, have you heard a certain saying?"

Maitreya lowered his voice, suddenly becoming somewhat solemn.

"Please Protégé Uncle, bestow your teaching"

Jin Chanzi respectfully performed the Buddhist Salutation.

"This saying is called, alcohol meat passes through the intestines, Buddha remains in the heart"

Maitreya said while shaking his head and swaying his brain.

Jin Chanzi's pupils slightly contracted; this saying... seeing Jin Chanzi remain motionless for half a day, Maitreya also became somewhat doubtful, what's wrong with him? Has he gone stupid? He just casually said two sentences, not to cause such a big reaction!

Maitreya supported himself with his hand, wanting to stand up and take a look.

"Philosophical insight"

Jin Chanzi suddenly shouted loudly again, startling Maitreya so much that his just-raised buttocks immediately fell back down.

"Jin Chanzi, what are you doing with all this startling and jumping?"

Even though Maitreya has a good temper, being treated like this also aroused some anger in him.

"Sorry, Protégé Uncle, I was just too excited"

Jin Chanzi's voice was very loud, obviously still not completely calmed down even now.

"Alcohol meat passes through the intestines, Buddha remains in the heart.

Protégé Uncle, I never expected your research into Buddhist Dharma to be so profound"

This saying, whether viewed from the order of its words or the realm of its meaning, leaves nothing to be criticized!

Originally I thought my usually somewhat scattered and carefree Protégé Uncle was merely of high cultivation.

It seems I have underestimated him.

Who would have thought, Maitreya did not accept the praise, but instead laughed and shook his head, saying: "The one who said this saying is not the Almsgiving Monk"

"Then who is it?"

Jin Chanzi urgently asked.

Maitreya laughed heartily: "Far in the heavens, near before the eyes"

Before the eyes? Jin Chanzi stared blankly, he is intelligent and quick-witted, he immediately reacted, fiercely looking toward the one beside Sun Wukong.

"Alcohol meat passes through the intestines, Buddha remains in the heart, was this saying spoken by Facility Sun?"

Jin Chanzi was quite excited.

This is the most philosophically insightful saying he has heard in recent years!

Why are the rules of the Buddhist Sect? To have Buddha in the heart.

Since there is Buddha, where then do the rules come from?!

Wonderful, this saying is truly wonderful!

"Where could I possibly say such a wonderful saying? I only said roughly, becoming like this is all due to Maitreya's elaboration"

Sun Wukong grinned.

Looking at this appearance of Jin Chanzi, Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, this Golden Brother is really... really somewhat strange.

Is it just one sentence? "That's also the same"

Jin Chanzi nodded firmly: "This sentence is what you, the Facility, have realized!

It is your merit"

Sun Wukong's mouth twitched, what merit!

He is the one who, back when he saw Maitreya eating meat and making noises with a strained belly, casually said this sentence,

where is there any merit? Maitreya: "..."

He is at least a summarizer, isn't he? He made the words so exquisite, how could he be completely negated? It's too difficult for him!

Jin Chanzi took a deep breath, calmed his emotions a little, returned to his previous gentle and moist state, looked at Sun Wukong, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Facility, you have karmic affinity with my Buddhist Sect!

Do you want to join my Buddhist Sect?"

Jin Chanzi invited.

Upon hearing these words, Maitreya couldn't help but nod his head, this Jin Chanzi has come here for half a day and finally said something pleasant to hear!

Cooking so deliciously, it's simply that he has karmic affinity with his Buddhist Sect!

"No no"

Sun Wukong's expression turned urgent, he quickly shook his head: "I already have a master's sect, I cannot join"

No matter what, he will absolutely not betray Chaos Residence, abandon his master!

"Like this"

Jin Chanzi, as if lost in thought, nodded his head: "Respect the master's sect, follow the master's will, it should be so, the Almsgiving Monk should not insistently ask the Facility to enter my Buddhist Sect"

Facing Sun Wukong, the Almsgiving Monk bowed apologetically: "It is the Almsgiving Monk who was too abrupt just now, didn't ask about the circumstances, sorry"

This is basic morality, he has no right to interfere.

"It's fine"

Sun Wukong shook his head: "You didn't even ask me, you simply don't know"

"But..."

Sun Wukong scratched his head, helplessly looking at Jin Chanzi: "Golden Brother, can you stop calling me Facility Sun Facility Sun all the time? Too formal, I feel awkward hearing it"

"Just call me Wukong"

Jin Chanzi smiled slightly: "That's good, the Almsgiving Monk will call you Wukong from now on"

Being able to teach a disciple like Facility Wukong, surely Wukong's master must be a person of great wisdom, and also has karmic affinity with his Buddhist Sect.

Jin Chanzi thought this, but did not say it out loud.

"Truly a pity, the Almsgiving Monk has no karmic affinity to be in the same sect as you, to discuss Buddhist principles together"

Sun Wukong grinned, not too concerned: "In this life we cannot become sect mates, but we can become friends"

For some reason, regarding this monk with strange words and deeds, Sun Wukong actually feels a good impression.

He understands him well!

His temper!

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, friends? He murmured in his heart, nodded, and smiled: "Indeed so"

"Cannot be sect mates, yet can be friends, is what the Almsgiving Monk has contemplated"

As for how this person and monkey are, Maitreya paid no attention, his eyes only on the red-braised pork ribs.

One chopstick picked up, Maitreya had no hesitation, directly stuffed it into his mouth, simmered over high heat, removed from heat at the right time.

After the meat fully absorbed the broth, it became extremely tender and juicy, with not a hint of dryness.

The meat for making red-braised pork ribs was carefully selected by Sun Wukong, all are the meat of the central bone, eating it is also very convenient, there will be no situation where there is meat stuck in the bone gaps but hard to chew.
