Chapter 82: The True Meaning of Great Wisdom Emperor (Second Update)

  Some friends asked why Xiaoguang's head is always bald, I'll tell you, this is also a pit, waiting for the silly dad to jump down, please wait patiently... ding!

  Another coin fell, and it was right in front of the small dustpan, ten centimeters away. The small dustpan looked up in confusion, but people coming and going couldn't tell what had fallen.

  Xiao Jingchen picked up another coin and held one in each hand, tapping them against each other: ding-ding-ding. The metallic sound was very pleasant, and Xiao Jingchen couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, revealing two small dimples. How fun!

  She never pays for anything herself, whether it's playing or eating, and when others foot the bill, she doesn't even bother to notice. As a result, her sensitivity to money has almost reached zero. Although Bai Xijing gives her a lot of pocket money, they're all large red bills, and she's hardly ever seen any other denomination besides 100 yuan notes, let alone coins. To her, the money that people crave is nothing more than "dirt", just something to pass the time with.

  Xiao Jingchen was adorable, with big and bright eyes, thick and curled eyelashes, and delicate white skin. She looked like a big doll, and due to Bai Xijing's eccentric cleanliness obsession, Xiao Jingchen's clothes were all pure white, giving off an aura of freshness and cleanliness as she sat cross-legged on the ground. Passersby couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. One or two kind-hearted but dim-witted people even thought she was some sort of unusual beggar and tossed a coin at her, feeling good about themselves.

  As a result, Xiao Jingchen played happily with the two coins, her smile sweet and quiet, her two small dimples setting off her big black grape-like eyes that were clear to the bottom. Even passersby who hadn't thought of her as a beggar before couldn't help but turn their heads.

  Look, look, how pitiful this child is, two coins can make her so happy!

  Then...

  Ding!

  Ding!

  Clang... one after another, the coins fell in front of Xiao Jingchen, making him almost overwhelmed. Listening to the crisp collision sound, her smile became even sweeter and more captivating, causing passersby to involuntarily smile along with her.

  At last, amidst a loud clinking sound, a piece of paper floated down like a snowflake and landed on a pile of coins. Xiaojing was taken aback for a moment before picking it up in confusion, only to suddenly realize - this was a 10-yuan bill!

  Uh... apart from the 100-yuan bill, she wasn't unfamiliar with any other denominations of banknotes. Thanks to that morning when she was once stood up, she bought breakfast for herself for the first time - ten steamed buns for twenty yuan, and the boss lady gave her eight ten-yuan bills as change. Each one looked just like the one in her hand now.

  Bills are not like coins. With coins, you can just reach into your pocket and grab one or two, but with bills, you have to take them out of your wallet. So when Xiao Jingchu looked up to see the kind person who gave him money hadn't gone far, he quickly grabbed a 10-yuan bill and ran after them, shouting "Auntie, you dropped something!"

  The lady who had just put her purse back into her handbag was slightly stunned, and turned around in surprise. She saw that Xiao Jingchen was on tiptoes, trying his best to return a 10-yuan bill to her. Looking at Xiao Jingchen's clear and sparkling eyes, the lady was so moved that she was choked with tears.

  Look, such a good and lovely kid, just one coin is enough to satisfy her, but the ten coins have to be returned to her. The lady smiled and bent down to pat her head, "It's okay, this is for you, take it!"

  Xiao Jingchen was taken aback, tilting her head to one side in confusion, staring at the woman in a daze, wondering why she had to give her money.

  Although she didn't understand, Xiao Jingchen didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Her father gave her money (pocket money), her grandparents gave her money (red envelopes), Dashan gave her money (bribery??), and now this beautiful auntie also gave her money. So, Xiao Jingchen accepted it without any shyness, but since the other person was a stranger, she should thank them sincerely. Therefore, Xiao Jingchen put her hands together, with a serious and devout expression, bowed her head and waist, "Thank you, benefactor! May your kindness be rewarded!!"

  It was a complete misunderstanding of what Xiaojingchen truly meant to express. The lady stroked her head affectionately, "Thank you, you have good intentions too."

  Then, Xiaojing dust happily pinched the 10 yuan note and returned to a pile of coins, not sitting down. She squatted on the ground, her hands clasped together, sincerely and solemnly thanking every generous passerby, although she didn't recognize any other notes except for the 10 yuan one, but it didn't hinder her grateful heart.

  Xiao Jingchen's clothes are well-made, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this child is not someone who lacks money to spend. But who doesn't have their own share of disasters and misfortunes? Passersby are first won over by Xiao Jingchen's adorable and endearing appearance, which softens their hearts. Then, they see her sincerely thanking every passerby, regardless of whether or not they gave her any money, and she treats everyone equally without distinction.

  As a result, not one person saw through her "begging scam", and she was able to swindle people with ease. The elderly would throw in a few coins thinking they were giving money to their grandchildren to buy candy, middle-aged people would throw in a few 10-yuan bills thinking they were giving money to their nephews or nieces to buy toys, young people would throw in a few 5-yuan bills thinking they were giving money to their younger siblings to buy tickets to an amusement park. As a result, the pile of coins in front of Xiao Jing grew higher and higher, and the paper bills became more and more disorganized.

  Finally, someone can't bear it anymore!

  A monk wearing a yellow robe, black Rohan shoes, and carrying a gray cloth bag on his back walked over. He also wore a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The monk squatted down in front of Xiaojing, put his palms together, "Amitabha, everyone has their own way of living, the little donor makes a living by begging, and I have nothing to say as a poor monk. However, how can the little donor pretend to be a monk to cheat for money?"

  Xiao Jingchen was taken aback for a moment, then looked up blankly and said, "I didn't impersonate a monk."

  The monk shook his head and sighed, "It's not just a matter of shaving your head to become a monk!"

  Xiao Jingchen touched her forehead, the lack of a tattoo was an eternal pain in her heart. Xiao Jingchen pouted and lowered her head, "Master said I have to wait until I'm twelve years old to get a tattoo," she said with a low and dejected tone. "But before I even turned twelve, Master drove me down the mountain."

  The monk nodded and continued to sigh, "Your master drove you down the mountain because you were infatuated with the secular world. If so, how can you still beg for money in the guise of a monk? Ah, young donor, the sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore!" The monk was completely unaware that his words were equivalent to acknowledging that Xiaojingchen was from the temple, thus rendering the "fake monk" accusation he made earlier invalid!

  Xiao Jingchen suddenly raised his head, staring at him seriously, "You're talking nonsense, Master drove me down the mountain because I've never been in the red dust, how could I be infatuated with the red dust?"

  Monk: "......" Little Bald Head has never been in the red dust? Ah, no good, I misunderstood, what a mistake!

  Xiao Jingchen curiously sized up the bald monk. His envious gaze lingered on the monk's tonsure for about two seconds before he looked away, continuing to pout.

  The monk waved his arms and shouted, "Wealth is an external thing, since you are devoted to Buddhism, how can you be attached to this external thing? Let go!"

  Xiao Jing's head tilted to one side, her eyes sparkling with clarity. Her expression was innocent. "Of course money is just a material thing, I didn't stuff it into my body or anything!"

  "Hahaha!" Someone burst out laughing!

  It's a big weekend and not many people are in a hurry, the cute and silly appearance of Xiao Jingchen has already attracted the attention of many passersby. Now that a big monk has come to pick on him, many people have stopped to watch the commotion. After a few questions and answers, the big monk and Xiao Jingchen were surrounded by layers of onlookers, with several young people opening their phone cameras to record the whole process.

  Xiao Jingchen's misinterpretation of "Wealth is an external thing" triggered a burst of laughter from the crowd, and some onlookers even applauded.

  The great monk remained unmoved, unaffected by the external world. With a serious and sincere tone, he said to Xiaojing, "Buddha is merciful, young donor, wealth is the most filthy thing in the human world. At such a young age, don't let this coppery smell obscure your pure heart."

  "Smell of copper?!" Xiaojingchen's expression became increasingly puzzled and bewildered. The "xiu" in "copper smell" should be pronounced as "xiu", but the Great Monk said it as "chou". So, Xiaojingchen naturally understood it as "smell of copper (chou)". She wrinkled her small nose, took a deep breath, and looked at the Great Monk with great confusion. "I don't smell any stench on these coins! They don't even have a stronger scent than your body odor!"

  "Pffft——" Another burst of laughter erupted around them.

  The Master's face finally changed, this is an insult! Has the red fruit gone to insult him? He actually said that monks are more stinky than money, it's simply unheard of. The Master suddenly stood up and shouted, "Little donor, I have good intentions for you, but you are obstinately ignorant, simply..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jingchen also stood up, looking up with a serious expression that seemed a bit silly, "You keep saying 'poor monk' 'poor monk', are you really a Buddhist?"

  "Of course." Feeling a bit violent, Da Heshang hastily put his hands together and bowed his head in repentance, "Amitabha, I'm guilty, I'm guilty!"

  Xiao Jingchen blinked her big eyes curiously and asked, "How long have you been a monk?"

  "More than ten years!" The great monk had calmed down and continued in a dignified manner.

  Xiao Jing dust head tilted, uncomprehending way, "Monk should be vegetarian for many years, eating fasting and chanting Buddha's right, but you have been a monk for ten years, why is there still such a strong meat smell on your body? And wine smell? You broke the flesh precept and wine precept, how can you say that you are a monk? Too disrespectful to the Buddha!"

  As soon as this was said, the whole room was in an uproar. Although temples, monks and renunciation of worldly life are far away from normal people's lives, everyone has some deep-seated obsession in their hearts. Today's monks have also kept pace with the times, but some principled issues cannot be deviated at all.

  You can use your phone, you can use a computer, and you can even drink tea and chat with people in the mountains, but wine and meat are absolutely off-limits!

  The great monk's face turned red with rage and his neck thickened as he shouted, "Ignorant little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

  Xiao Jingchen fearlessly met his furious gaze, her clear eyes shining brightly, as if they could penetrate a person's soul. "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth. Moreover, the yin and yang aura on you is chaotic, so you not only eat meat and drink wine, but also touched women."

  Don't understand what's going on with women at all!

  However, when she was in the temple, she had seen the hunter from the mountain. Her keen senses made her discover the difference between the hunter and the monks, which was not a distinction of detachment from worldly desires or indulgence in worldly pleasures, but rather a more mysterious change in aura. At that time, she was very young... although still not big now... and couldn't help asking Master.

  The master touched her head at that time and only said one sentence - "Women are tigers, can't be touched casually!"

  Then...

  The truth about Xiao Jingchen has been revealed, and Da Heshang is tragic!
