Zhen Shan shook his head, "A few days ago, I had the thought of committing suicide, but now, after reading Buddhism thoroughly and knowing that life is not easy, I will no longer despise myself. This morning, I couldn't sleep. I went out for a walk alone and saw a pond full of lotus leaves.

Withering, I feel sad, but I thought that the lotus leaves and lotus are gone, but there are still lotus roots, and life is endless. I wanted to go up and have a look, and I didn't want Master Wuchen to misunderstand."

Wuchen's eyes were clear, and he sighed softly and said the Buddha's name, "Zhen almsgiver has great enlightenment, and the poor monk is ashamed."

"As a monk, sweeping the floor does not hurt the lives of ants, cherishing moths and covering lamps with gauze, Master Wuchen is compassionate, why should you be ashamed?"

"Amitabha."

"Master Wuchen just said he was going to collect medicinal herbs, right?"

"Exactly."

"I wonder if the little girl can go with Master Wuchen?"

"Here, the mountain road is rugged and uneven. Donor Zhen is not well yet, so it's better not to be tired."

"Master Wuchen, do you think you dislike me for being a burden?" Zhen Shan frowned slightly, and his bright and gentle phoenix eyes dimmed.

"No, Donor Zhen misunderstood. The poor monk did not mean this."

"I have been sick since I was a child, and I have always wanted to learn medical skills and be able to heal myself. However, my father asked me to learn only women's virtues and women's precepts. Now... I am free, but I have to rely on myself for everything.

, I heard that Master Wuchen has unparalleled medical skills, I wonder if my little girl would be lucky enough to learn something from you?"

Zhen Shan bit her lip lightly, her soft little face looked expectant and anxious. If she were an ordinary man, let alone rejecting him, he would be willing to give her his life.

It's a pity that the reincarnation of the true god in front of me has nothing in mind except Buddhism and saving all sentient beings.

But because of Wuchen's compassionate nature, he did not refuse immediately. He just said: "Studying medicine is boring and hard. Master Zhen Shi will think about it carefully."

"My little girl will study hard and won't cause trouble to Master Wuchen."

Zhen Shan pursed her lips and smiled. Compared to her previous weak and dignified appearance, she smiled gracefully. At this time, she was as charming and lovely as any other girl.

Wuchen looked calm and nodded with his hands clasped together.

…

Zhen Shan followed Wu Chen on the mountain road.

The little monk was very good at taking care of people. He found a slightly thicker branch for her and often reminded her to step on it when walking.

But Zhen Shan understands very well that this is not a man's pity for a woman, but a monk caring for a weak person compassionately. If it were another person, Wuchen would take care of her in the same way, without any special care.

In fact, she is no different from him now than a flower, grass or tree.

However, love is a unique thing that exists deep in the eyes and deep in the heart.

If she can't break the idea that she is the same as all sentient beings in Wuchen's heart, how can she make this Buddhist disciple fall in love with her.

"This is snakeberry, also called red-topped fruit. The whole plant is used for medicinal purposes. It can clear away heat and detoxify, activate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, astringe and stop bleeding. It can also cure poisonous snake bites..."

The empress looked at the grass with small red fruits growing in front of her, and listened to the little monk's explanation attentively. She did not feel squeamish about the herbs or the dirt on the ground, and imitated him to pick them.

After picking many herbs for daily use, Zhen Shan never once complained that he was tired or dirty. Even though his clean clothes and embroidered shoes were stained with dust, he never complained at all.

I carefully memorized what he said about medicinal herbs and asked him to teach me how to identify medicinal herbs. It seemed that I was really determined to learn medicine.

When it was almost noon, Wu Chen took Zhen Shan back to the Guo Temple.

Her face was a little pale and her breathing was a little unsteady. It was obvious that the pampered young lady had never experienced such suffering.
