"But things are different now."
He looked up and glanced at the tightly closed doors in the courtyard.
"Many people now live in this courtyard."
"There was a monkey who came to freeload every day, complaining about this and that, but he would show up at the door on time the next day."
"There was a pig that guarded his vegetable patch all day long, squealing loudly, as if the most important thing in the world was his few cabbages."
"There was a monk who didn't talk much, but he swept the ground eight times a day, taking care of every single speck of dust in the courtyard."
"There are two naughty kids who fight every day, making a huge fuss. They burn down the vegetable garden, trample the flowers, and break the clothesline."
"There was a rabbit who quietly planted flowers, steamed crooked buns, and laughed softly."
"There's another woman."
Lu Chen paused for a moment.
"The cooking is delicious."
"She held on alone for hundreds of years."
"Same as me."
"It's all because one person has been carrying the burden for too long."
Lu Chen lowered his head and looked at the water in the bowl.
The moon's reflection rippled gently on the water's surface.
"They're here."
"I am happy."
When Lu Chen said those two words, he was stunned for a moment.
It was as if he was admitting it for the first time.
It's not the kind of happiness that you can just talk about.
It's a feeling that you truly, deeply experience.
The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes brings me joy.
Hearing Pigsy howl brings me joy.
Seeing the Jade Rabbit planting flowers brings me joy.
Eating the food cooked by Princess Iron Fan is a joy.
Watching Nezha and Red Boy fight is fun.
It's fun to sit with Sun Wukong, drink and brag.
These are small things.
So insignificant as to be not worth mentioning.
But all of these together make happiness.
The kind of experience I hadn't felt in my previous 24 years.
The old monk listened to the whole thing.
He nodded slowly.
"it is good."
One word.
Just one word.
Then the old monk stood up from the stone pier.
Their movements were slow, as if they were genuinely tired from walking all day.
"Thank you for this bowl of water, benefactor."
"You're welcome."
"It's almost dawn. This humble monk should be on his way."
Lu Chen looked at the old monk.
"Aren't you going to rest for the night?"
"No, thank you," the old monk smiled. "This humble monk still has a long way to go."
"Where to?"
"go back."
The old monk did not say where he was going back to.
He handed the bowl back to him.
Lu Chen accepted it.
The bowl was still warm.
"donor."
"Um."
"As long as you're happy."
Three words.
After saying those three words, the old monk turned and walked towards the entrance of the valley.
The gray monk's robe swayed in the moonlight.
Straw sandals made a soft rustling sound as they stepped on the gravel path.
There was no golden light.
There is no Buddhist aura.
There are no lotus flowers.
There is nothing that belongs to "Great Power".
There was only one old monk.
I walked into the night.
They've gone far away.
It's out of sight.
Lu Chen sat on the stone stool, holding the empty bowl.
The moon was almost hidden behind the mountains.
A sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon.
He sat there for a long time.
Until it was completely light.
As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the courtyard, Nezha leaped out of the house.
"Brother Lu Chen, why are you asleep sitting by the door?"
"I couldn't sleep."
"Your eyes are closed."
"Thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu Chen did not answer.
He stood up and looked down at the stone stool where he had sat all night.
Then he stopped moving.
On the stone pier.
He was sitting next to the seat.
There's one more thing.
A flower.
A white flower.
lotus.
These are not dried flowers, nor are they artificial flowers.
It is a living, blooming lotus flower.
The petals parted slightly, revealing the golden stamens inside.
The flower stem was inserted into a crack in the stone pier.
There is no soil.
There is no water.
But it is alive.
In the morning sunlight, a dewdrop still clung to the petal.
Lu Chen stared at the lotus flower for a long time.
My heart is racing again.
Just like when I saw the golden light in the old monk's eyes last night.
lotus.
The symbol of Buddha.
Everyone in the Three Realms knows that lotus flowers are left behind wherever the Buddha has been.
This is not a legend.
This is a signature.
Buddha has visited.
last night.
I sat on this stone stool.
I talked to him all night about sweet potatoes, cabbage, dried fish, and crooked signboards.
I asked him, "Are you happy?"
After listening to his answer.
He said, "As long as you're happy."
Then go.
One lotus flower was left behind.
Lu Chen stood there.
My mind is a mess.
It was also very quiet.
"Brother Lu Chen?" Nezha tugged at his sleeve from the side. "What are you spacing out for?"
"It's nothing."
Lu Chen bent down and gently pulled the lotus flower out from the crack in the stone pier.
There are no roots on the flower stem.
But the flower is alive.
He brought the lotus flower into the house.
It was placed on the windowsill.
I found a rough earthenware bowl, poured in half a bowl of water, and soaked the flower stems in it.
The lotus flower swayed slightly in the bowl of water.
Then he stood there quietly.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and the dewdrops on the petals refracted into a tiny rainbow.
Lu Chen looked at the lotus flower.
He made a decision.
I'm not telling anyone about this.
Don't tell Sun Wukong.
I won't tell Nezha.
Don't tell Princess Iron Fan.
I will not tell anyone in the Three Realms.
Buddha has visited.
But only he knew.
This is enough.
Life goes on.
The daily rhythm of life at the resort remains almost unchanged.
In the morning, Princess Iron Fan was the first to get up and busied herself in the kitchen.
Then it was Sha Wujing's turn, who picked up a broom and began his daily cleaning task.
Then came Nezha and Red Boy, who both jumped out of bed at the same time and rushed toward the roasted sweet potatoes they hadn't finished eating the night before by the fire.
Pigsy gets up the latest, but the first thing he does after getting up is to go to the vegetable garden and count whether any cabbages are missing.
The Jade Rabbit always appears quietly in the flower field, as if it has always been there.
Sun Wukong would come from the business location in the morning, and the first thing he would always say upon entering was, "What are we eating today?"
That morning.
Lu Chen came out of the house and passed by the kitchen.
Princess Iron Fan is cooking porridge in front of the stove.
The fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the porridge was bubbling and bubbling in the pot.
Princess Iron Fan stood beside the stove, stirring the porridge with a wooden spoon in one hand and supporting herself on the edge of the stove with the other.
The banana leaf fan was placed on a wooden shelf next to the stove.
The fan was large, with a dark red surface and a ring of gold patterns around the edge. Even when it was just sitting there still, one could feel a faint warmth emanating from it.
Lu Chen glanced at the fan as he passed by.
He used to just walk straight past the kitchen.
I don't know why it stopped for a while today.
"This fan."
Princess Iron Fan turned around and glanced at him.
"What's wrong?"
"What's your background?"
Princess Iron Fan was taken aback.
No one has ever asked this question before.
Everyone in the manor knows that Princess Iron Fan has a banana leaf fan, and that the fan can create a strong wind, extinguish fire, and generate wind.
But no one has ever asked about its origin.
Princess Iron Fan rested the wooden spoon against the edge of the pot, turned around, and looked at the fan.
"This fan wasn't something I cultivated."
"Um."
"I found it."
Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Found it?"

"If you're so capable, then you do it; this tribulation is truly insurmountable" is causing a reading frenzy on Cola Novels. Haven't you read it yet?
Then came Nezha and Red Boy, who both jumped out of bed at the same time and rushed toward the roasted sweet potatoes they hadn't finished eating the night before by the fire.
