Reincarnated as a turtle: I have lived a long life, but I still have to farm.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched Monk Mingsi walk step by step to the water bucket without any intention of using any magic at all.

Just like an ordinary person, he does these things, secretly sighing in his heart that he is worthy of being a high monk. This is the legendary return to nature.

After Lin Xiaoxiao and Monk Mingsi fetched water from the stream, they followed Monk Mingsi to his vegetable garden.

The vegetable garden is not very big. Well, he is the only one here, so it would be useless if it was that big. Besides, with his level of cultivation, he doesn't need to eat anymore. I guess growing vegetables is also a kind of cultivation for him.

In response to Lin Xiaoxiao's request, Mingsi got her a watering can, and the two of them watered the vegetables in the garden one scoop at a time.

During this time, Lin Xiaoxiao said while watering the vegetables: "Senior Mingsi, do you know what the situation is outside now?"

Monk Mingsi: "I am devoted to the practice of Buddhism and do not know what is happening outside the holy land."

Lin Xiaoxiao said casually: "Then I will tell you what I saw and heard. Maybe it will be of some inspiration to you."

In Lin Xiaoxiao's opinion, Monk Mingsi's practice had also fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, working in isolation.

If trapping himself in this so-called holy land can help him achieve his goal, then he is amazing.

All her thoughts were her own.

"Thank you, benefactor." Monk Mingsi did not refuse.

Lin Xiaoxiao began to slowly and in detail tell Monk Mingsi what she had seen and heard when she came to the Pure Land Continent. She did not bring up any personal emotions during the conversation and was just stating the facts.

Monk Mingsi gradually slowed down his watering because of Lin Xiaoxiao's words.

"Senior, do you think the way they practice is right?" After Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she looked at Monk Mingsi and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

Just when Lin Xiaoxiao thought that Monk Mingsi would answer her with some profound words, unexpectedly, Monk Mingsi remained silent.

Then she continued, "I don't know what Buddhist practice is exactly like, but merit is very important to Buddhist practice."

"As for how to gain merit, I have a simple mindset and think the most direct way is to do good deeds and help all sentient beings."

"Senior, do you think my idea is correct?" Lin Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao is a little angry now. There is a saying that goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world.

Monk Mingsi has already reached this state, why is he still staying in this holy place? Why not go out and help those Buddhists to walk on the right path?

The situation outside seemed to Lin Xiaoxiao to be in complete chaos, but of course that was just her opinion.

"The donor's idea is not wrong." Monk Mingsi replied.

"Then why did they become like this?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked softly.

Monk Mingsi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "I understand what you mean, benefactor."

Then he just watered the vegetables without saying anything else.

Lin Xiaoxiao was speechless when she saw it. It seemed that she had spent so much time talking but it was of no use at all.

After watering the vegetables, Monk Mingsi took Lin Xiaoxiao to a room.

"Mr. Lin, you can rest here from now on." After saying that, he turned and left.

Lin Xiaoxiao shrugged indifferently and said, "Forget it, if it's useless, then it's useless. Everyone has their own ideas and pursuits. Don't try to change anyone."

What she should think about most now is how to leave this place.

Maybe she would go to the Buddha statue tomorrow and pray sincerely? Let the Buddha send her away. After all, he had Monk Mingsi to accompany him, so it wouldn't matter if he lost her turtle, and it was an insincere turtle.

Lin Xiaoxiao had some idea about this. She had reverence for Buddha, but she would not devote herself wholeheartedly like a Buddhist practitioner.

The next day, after enjoying the vegetarian dishes prepared by Monk Mingsi, Lin Xiaoxiao followed Monk Mingsi up the mountain to collect firewood, fetch water to water the vegetables, working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise.

To be honest, this kind of day and this kind of environment really purifies one's soul. During this period, Lin Xiaoxiao did not mention anything about the outside world, nor did she mention her thoughts at all.

Lin Xiaoxiao also took the time to pray sincerely in front of the Buddha statue.

"Merciful Buddha, I want to go back to Guiling Island. I miss my relatives and friends. Please be kind and let me go back."

She knelt in front of the Buddha statue and kept mumbling, turning over and over again. In the end, she had nothing else to say, and she almost blurted out "Amen".

Fortunately I stopped in time. I was exposed to too much cultural information and almost got confused.

During this period, Monk Mingsi stood not far behind Lin Xiaoxiao. He did not disturb Lin Xiaoxiao, but quietly looked at the Buddha statue that he had worshipped for thousands of years.

Oh my god, am I wrong?

My Buddha, is the person in front of you sent by you to wake me up?

Buddha, has my actions caused you to worry?

Not long after, Monk Mingsi left.

But Lin Xiaoxiao never realized that Monk Mingsi had stayed behind her.

The days passed one by one, and Lin Xiaoxiao did the same repetitive tasks every day. Apart from being anxious to leave, she adapted well to everything else.

She felt that if she were an ordinary person now, she would probably gain more than ten pounds during this period of time, mainly because Senior Mingsi’s vegetarian dishes were so delicious.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how he managed to make the vegetables so delicious.

On this day, the two of them were watering the vegetables together again, but Monk Mingsi took the initiative to speak: "Donor Lin, do you think that I alone can change the path of practice for tens of millions of Buddhist practitioners?"

Lin Xiaoxiao paused while watering the vegetables. "If one day doesn't work, then one year. If one year doesn't work, then one hundred years. As long as you keep doing it, you will succeed one day."

When saying this, Lin Xiaoxiao thought of the monks from Blue Star who had traveled thousands of miles to her country.

Didn't it also start with disbelief, and then develop into many people believing?

Monk Mingsi stopped talking and watered the vegetables silently.

Lin Xiaoxiao almost rolled her eyes. It was like this again, neither of them said a word.

She estimated that if she continued like this, she would definitely go crazy, although she didn't know about others. She felt that it would be terrible if she went crazy, because she felt terrified when she thought about going crazy.

After watering the vegetables, Monk Mingsi did something different from before, which was to harvest all the vegetables in the garden.

This was the first time Lin Xiaoxiao saw Monk Mingsi use magic since she met him.

After collecting all the dishes, Monk Mingsi pointed at them and said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your guidance. I will give these dishes to you."

Originally, when Lin Xiaoxiao heard Monk Mingsi's words of guidance, she wanted to be humble and polite, but then she heard that Monk Mingsi wanted to give her these dishes as a reward, and she suddenly felt that this monk was quite stingy.
