She clutched the string of prayer beads given by Yuan Jue, shaking it with effort, giggling.
"What does Master Yuan Jue mean?" Qi Zhenzhen's voice trembled involuntarily.
"Your daughter's situation is different from yours," Master Yuan Jue said slowly, his features kind and gentle. "What makes the little one so unique..."
Master Yuan Jue paused, "is a wisp of soul. It has now been transferred into this string of prayer beads."
Qi Zhenzhen looked anxious and spoke incoherently, "But but..."
Gu Sinian voiced her concerns, "After the transfer, will it affect An An?"
Yuan Jue shook his head, "Your daughter's soul is complete. This wisp of soul cannot take the lead. As for why it was in your daughter's consciousness, it's because there's a karmic connection between her and your daughter."
"Moreover, this wisp of soul harbors no ill will towards your daughter," Yuan Jue continued.
"And even if it did, it wouldn't be able to do anything."
Gu Sinian and Qi Zhenzhen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Qi Zhenzhen asked, "Master, what about these prayer beads?"
"She is your daughter's fortune. Keeping her close will only bring benefits, no harm," Yuan Jue said.
"Then, does she have her own consciousness?" Qi Zhenzhen asked again.
Yuan Jue nodded, "Yes."
"Can I communicate with her then?" Qi Zhenzhen asked again.
Yuan Jue shook his head, "This humble monk cannot do that. I can communicate with her, but I cannot assist Madam Gu."
"Then can Master help ask what she wishes for? What does she need us to do?" Qi Zhenzhen said.
Master Yuan Jue took the prayer beads from Gu Sui'an's hand, closed his eyes, and gently caressed them.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, "You don't need to do anything. Just treat your daughter well."
What she sought was not something outsiders could achieve.
In other words, only Gu Sui'an could fulfill her wishes.
Although Gu Sui'an was influenced by this wisp of soul and her intellect developed earlier than that of ordinary children, her physical condition prevented her from doing anything.
"This humble monk has some karmic connection with this wisp of soul. You two benefactors can leave these prayer beads with me for a while. This humble monk will offer them before the Buddha and chant scriptures for her," Yuan Jue added.
Qi Zhenzhen and Gu Sinian naturally had no objections.
As long as An An was fine, they were relieved. As for anything else, it didn't matter.
"Thank you, Master, for clarifying," Gu Sinian said sincerely.
"Benefactor Gu, there's no need for politeness. The Buddha statue in the main hall is a bit old. If Benefactor Gu wishes to show gratitude, why not help recast the Buddha's golden body?" Yuan Jue said frankly.
"There are countless officials and noblemen in the capital vying to recast the Buddha's golden body. Thank you, Master, for giving me this opportunity," Gu Sinian said meaningfully.
"Their hearts are not sincere enough. This humble monk is merely afraid the Buddha will be too busy," Yuan Jue said.
He had a connection with Buddha, but he couldn't help everyone.
Moreover, he was too deified by the outside world.
Therefore, he had to be extremely cautious.
"Master, please rest assured. I will send people over after I return. Just let me know if you have any requests," Gu Sinian said.
"Then this humble monk thanks Benefactor Gu first," Yuan Jue said with a smile.
After Gu Sinian and Qi Zhenzhen left with their child, Yuan Jue called a young monk, sealed the courtyard gate, and announced that he would not be receiving any more visitors for the time being.
"Great Monk, what is the karmic connection between me and that little girl?"
"It seems your soul is severely damaged," Yuan Jue said.
"Does the Great Monk think that because my soul is severely damaged, I can't do anything to you?"
Yuan Jue nodded honestly, "You couldn't even leave the consciousness of the Gu family's daughter. If it weren't for this humble monk helping you, you wouldn't have even been able to transfer into these prayer beads."
The exposed great being: What to do about this awkwardness?
