The little monk's presence brought about many heartwarming moments along the journey.
Chen Qi and Lu Zheng grew fond of the child and made numerous attempts to persuade him to become their disciple and learn either weapon forging or array formations.
However, the little monk remained steadfast in his response and rebuked the two with a single statement. "Benefactors, do not assume that by finding a random successor and passing on your gifted skills, you can travel to the Western Paradise to meet Buddha without worries."
"As the saying goes, one cannot grasp the heart of the past, the heart of the present, or the heart of the future."
"If one becomes overly fixated on the past, present, and future, the concept of the passage of time ultimately becomes futile."
"Desperately trying to grasp something as if one's life depends on it, yet obtaining nothing. Amitabha, it's merely an endless fabrication."
