Looking at Shijia's solemn demeanor, Ye Qing put away his playful thoughts and asked softly, "Master, what should we do about the Purple Lotus Karma Fire on the child? Could it really never be extinguished in his lifetime?"
"Why are you in such a rush?" Shijia replied, "The Purple Lotus Karma Fire is on him, not you. Besides, the child has already fallen into a deep state of Zen Meditation Realm, which seems to be related to the Karma Fire. Such a meditation state is hard for most people to enter. Since he's in it, don't wake him up lightly; it's immensely beneficial for him."
"How long will he sit then? He hasn't eaten all day!" Ye Qing said.
Shijia replied, "When the Buddha meditates, ten years is just a blink of an eye, and he never spoke of eating or drinking. This child has only been sitting for a few days, why eat?"
"The Buddha is the Buddha, but he is not the Buddha. The Buddha doesn't starve, but could he starve?" Ye Qing said urgently.
