Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 1262 Advancing to the Emperor Realm.

The old monk gazed at Lilly lovingly. He had never expected to discuss faith with a spirit, much less one who was only a little girl.

“The commandments say “Thou shalt not murder, but murder isn’t literally about killing people. It also includes abusive actions and words. To achieve enlightenment is to rid oneself of such thoughts.”

Lilly suddenly understood something.

As she had known before, The source of mortal agony comes from being unable to let go. and being unwilling to see the truth. Only by letting go and opening one’s mind could one achieve peace.

“I see! So that’s what you mean, Gramps!” Lilly said.

The old monk smiled. “Many people claim to be searching for their faith, but they are only going around in circles, misled by their own obstinacy. They might practice the commandments, but they cannot tolerate a differing opinion. Some followers of the faith do it for the money, which itself is an act of greed. Even if someone might do good deeds without asking for anything in return, their blind obstinacy could become an obstacle. The road to enlightenment might just only be one thought away.”

Lilly clutched her head and said nothing.

She thought that the old monk’s words were very profound. Maybe the author didn’t even know what they were writing about.

Lilly wagged her head. “I see, Gramps. I understand now. Thank you!”

The old monk chuckled. “Are you sure you understood everything?”

“Hmm… How can you tell if I haven’t?”

They exchanged a knowing glance and smiled. They sat there for the rest of the night. without exchanging a word. When Lilly’s tea became cold, the old monk patiently replaced it with a fresh cup.

It was the coldest right before dawn. The leaves of the forest behind the monastery. was snowing.

Lilly was surprised. “Does it snow this far south?”
