Chapter 282: Chapter 282: This Move is Brilliant Chapter 282: Chapter 282: This Move is Brilliant Ma Ming swayed the Horse-Faced Bell, and Prince Ming appeared.
“Clone, you’re so annoying.”
Ma Ming, “Wait until I tell you the reason I sought you, and you won’t find me annoying anymore.”
Prince Ming, with his arms crossed, said, “Then speak.”
Ma Ming, “The millennium-old problem has been solved.”
The millennium-old problem had become a well-recognized issue, so upon hearing the words, Prince Ming thought of Red Garment Ah Piao.
“Stop joking. If it could be solved, it wouldn’t have dragged on for a thousand years. It’s unsolvable. That person has already become a Buddha and cannot enter reincarnation; he has long forgotten her. And she won’t enter the reincarnation that excludes him because of the protection of Buddha’s Light; not even I can force her to drink the Oblivion Soup, let alone force her into reincarnation. This matter will forever be unsolvable!”
Ma Ming chuckled, “No, there is now a solution, and it was thought of by my disciple!”
Prince Ming frowned, “You’ve taken disciples behind my back? Haven’t I told you not to get too involved with mortals, not to fall in love, not to marry, not to have children, and especially not to recruit a bunch of disciples to cause me trouble!”
“Tsk, if it weren’t for seeing the Horse-Faced Bell, I wouldn’t have taken a disciple. It was actually you who first took a liking to the child, and I simply followed suit and took him under my wing.”
Prince Ming was stunned and asked, “Are you talking about Little Taotie?”
“Yes, and another one.”
“I only gave the Horse-Faced Bell to Little Taotie.”
Prince Ming recalled, “I gave her two.”
“That’s right then, it must have been Little Taotie who gave it to him. Hehe, that person has a not-so-simple background.”
Prince Ming became serious, “It couldn’t be…” He pointed upwards and then mimed zipping his mouth shut.
Prince Ming rested his hand on his forehead, “Once he takes his place, I’m finished.”
Ma Ming said nonchalantly, “He is my disciple after all, hehe!”
Yet, in his mind, he thought, by the time he takes his place, I would have already merged with the original being, and as the weaker part, I would end up just like a mortal with split personality–after becoming normal, only the original primary personality would remain.
All those troubles would then have nothing to do with this small clone of mine!
He was quite pleased to keep creating such troubles for the original being!
Prince Ming glared at him but was indeed helpless to do anything about him.
“I’m leaving. I’m not in the mood to talk to you.”
As Prince Ming was about to leave, Ma Ming called out to him, “Let’s not digress, I called you here to solve the millennium-old problem! Little Taotie has thought of a solution, do you want to know it?”
“Speak quickly.” Prince Ming didn’t believe the millennium-old problem could be solved by a mere child.
“She doesn’t want to reincarnate because she can’t see that person. Just tell her that only through reincarnation can she meet that person. She has been a vengeful spirit in the mortal world for a thousand years; she should realize that continuing to linger won’t solve anything.”
“The problem is, she won’t meet that person even if she’s reincarnated,” Prince Ming thought that what Ma Ming said was merely venting hot air.
“Only by being reincarnated can she become a monk.”
“Yes! By becoming a monk and pursuing spiritual practice, she can reach enlightenment and meet the person she wants to see.”
“That’s rather interesting.”
“We can let her reincarnate directly with the memories of her past life, so she can clarify her goal, become a monk from childhood, and there’s no way she won’t become an enlightened High Monk in her lifetime! Even if she doesn’t succeed in one lifetime, when she returns before the Reincarnation Hall after her peaceful demise, we’ll let her reincarnate with her memories again, repeating this process again and again. Even if she doesn’t become an enlightened monk in ten lives, she’ll still be a virtuous person for ten lifetimes! Any virtuous person of ten lifetimes can instantly become a Buddha and then meet the person she wants to meet!”
Prince Ming exclaimed, “This strategy is brilliant! Truly brilliant!”
