The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

If Jiang Yumin said he wanted to become a monk, he really would.

That day I packed my things and went to Qiyuan Temple, a famous Buddhist temple in Hai City.

Normally speaking, becoming a monk in modern times requires a certain review process. In addition to ensuring that one's identity is clean and one has no special identity, one must first undergo certain Buddhist knowledge training and undergo a monastic assessment for more than one year. Only after passing the assessment will one be allowed to become a monk.

As a member of the Jiang family, Jiang Yumin could naturally skip this review process through his connections, but he was only able to enter the temple as a layperson to practice Buddhism.

This so-called practice is actually very common. Urban people who are under too much pressure or tired of the worldly life can sign up for free meditation in the temple.

By staying in a temple and practicing asceticism, one can practice Buddhism with hair uncut for a short period of time.

It’s a bit like a temple version of summer camp, and it usually doesn’t last too long.

Knowing that Jiang Yumin would not really become a monk in the short term, the Jiang family did not care much.

In the entire Jiang family, probably the only ones who took this matter seriously were Jiang Ying and Jiang Su.

Jiang Su was fine. Jiang Ying was only eight years old after all. When she found out her father had really gone to the temple, she burst into tears.

"Did Dad really become a monk? Doesn't he want me anymore?"

The last sentence made everyone in the Jiang family silent for a moment.

Jiang Han was the most depressed. He knew this would happen. His father had never been reliable, and became even more unreliable after his divorce from his mother.

Holding Jiang Ying, he was hesitating about how to comfort his youngest sister when he heard Jiang Huai beside him speak up.

"Second Uncle just went to the temple to eat vegetarian food for a few days to clean his stomach, and he came back on his own after a few days."

Jiang Huai's voice was gentle but gave people a sense of security. The children in the family, including Jiang Ying, listened to their eldest cousin very much. Upon hearing his words, they immediately left their brother and ran to Jiang Huai.

Asked eagerly,

"really?"

Jiang Han:......

Do you have to run so fast?

He is obviously the real brother!

Jiang Huai reached out and patted her head, then nodded with a smile, "Really, I promise I'll be back in less than a week."

Jiang Xuxu and Wenren Qiqi felt that something was fishy when they heard the word "one week". They turned their heads and raised their eyebrows, "One week?"

I have a feeling there's something wrong here.

Jiang Huai looked at Jiang Yucheng, who said with a serious face,

"I have contacted the temple and emphasized my second son's determination to become a monk. I asked the monks in the temple not to treat him as a layman who practices Buddhism with hair uncut, but to treat him as a proper monk who practices asceticism. This is the only way to show his sincerity."

No one knows better than him, the eldest brother, that his younger brother can never endure hardship.

He even found it tiring to inherit part of the family business and work properly, let alone become a monk and practice asceticism.

Since you can't persuade him, let him experience it himself and he will know.

It was Jiang Huai who mentioned this to him.

If Jiang Huai wasn't the junior and couldn't arrange it directly, Jiang Yucheng guessed that he would have wanted to arrange it directly.

Even so, the moment Jiang Yucheng finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell into a strange silence.

As expected, Jiang Yumin still has to rely on his elder brother for treatment.

Mr. Jiang listened and had no objection, and nodded with a smile.

"That's good. It can also help him lose some weight."

Mrs. Jiang felt a little distressed when she heard this. "Is there anyone who wants his son to lose weight like you?"

Despite all the talk, he didn't say anything about bringing the person back.

Jiang Ying wasn’t sure about the difference between ordinary lay practice and serious ascetic practice, but since Brother Huai said that Dad would be back in a week, then Dad would definitely be back in a week.

The little girl was immediately happy again.

Although Jiang Xuxu was called back because Jiang Yumin became a monk, it was obvious that she didn't need to do anything for this matter.

Jiang Xuxu simply ignored it.

The next day, the little baby spirit and He Yuanying came back and said that they found Mei Meiyu's lost soul, but that place was difficult for them to enter.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something else.

The soul that Mei Meiyu lost happened to be in the temple where Jiang Yumin was practicing.

It is a sacred place in Buddhism, and even ghost cultivators are not allowed to enter.

Jiang Xuxu thought about the woman whose first half of her life was almost ruined, and decided to go there in person.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhan offered to go along.

He didn't care about how Jiang Yumin was doing in the temple. Unlike Jiang Ying and Jiang Han, this father had always been dispensable to him.

It's just that he took over the Jiang family charity and was entrusted to help find those abducted women and children who couldn't find their home, so he also wanted to see if he could find the lost soul.

The next day, the two went to Qiyuan Temple together.

At that time, it was Jiang Yumin's third day in the temple.

The week was different from what Jiang Huai had expected. However, on the third day, Jiang Yumin felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.

Becoming a monk was nothing like what he had imagined.

He thought that every day he would just sit in front of the Buddha and listen to the scriptures, but more often he was like a person outside the world, sitting in an quaint and quiet courtyard, drinking tea, feeling the charm of the ancient temple and mountains, eating some vegetarian food, and feeling another kind of life.

The result...I get up at six in the morning to practice Ba Duan Jin, followed by morning lessons and copying scriptures.

These are no different from other lay practitioners, but his tasks, whether it is morning prayers or copying sutras, are twice as much as others, and he even has to cook vegetarian meals himself. At noon, he has Zen and Yi culture classes and lectures on sutras. While others are resting, he has to clean the Zen temple. If you ask, it's clear that he wants to become a monk, which is different from short-term Zen practice.

The whole day was full.

Jiang Yumin didn't have time to think about the days he was trapped in the turtle's body.

He was exhausted.

Just when I was hesitating whether to tell the abbot, he decided to switch to short-term meditation and not become a monk.

Then Jiang Xuxu and Jiang Zhan came!

Jiang Yumin’s first reaction was that the two people were here to take him back.

He felt inexplicably proud in his heart, thinking that even if he didn't become a nun, he would still be able to control his niece so that she would never dare to use the Xuanmen methods against him again.

So he deliberately pretended to have seen through the world.

"What are you two doing here? If you are here to take me back, there is no need. I am practicing well here."

Jiang Xuxu took a look at the monk's robe he was wearing, which looked like the same as others. In fact, it was a specially made garment. Both the material and the cut were different from ordinary monk's robes. He did not reveal it, but just said,

"I'm not here to find you."

Jiang Yumin was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhan next to him.

Jiang Zhan typed silently.

[I'm not here to see you.]

Jiang Yumin was obviously stunned for a moment.

Then, he saw the abbot whom he had only met on the first day. It seemed that he had known that the two of them were coming. He came out to greet them personally with his people. His attitude towards Jiang Xuxu was polite and respectful.

"Donor Jiang."

Although Buddhism and Taoism are essentially different, it has been said since ancient times that Buddhism and Taoism are inseparable.

There are also Buddhist practitioners in the Security Bureau, and Jiang Xuxu is an extremely special one.

The abbot of Qiyuan Temple has always wanted to meet the other party.

"The Security Bureau has contacted me. What Jiang Shizhu is looking for is in the temple. Please follow me."

Jiang Xuxu and Jiang Zhan returned the greeting and tried to walk around Jiang Yumin and follow the abbot inside.

The abbot didn't notice Jiang Yumin next to him. He just paused slightly when his eyes fell on Jiang Zhan, and then he seemed to be thinking about something.
