Chapter 136 Teaching the "Mahayana Dharma"
crack!
not long after, zhi kong felt a knock on his head. he looked up in confusion.
"returning blindly will only result in death... monk, i have a buddhist scripture that can help you achieve the great path of buddhism. once cultivated, your strength will be at least on par with the buddha. do you want to learn?" gu lan smiled and asked.
on par with the buddha... zhi kong's expression froze!
but he knew that with gu lan's status and cultivation, he wouldn't deceive him, especially with the existence of the indestructible buddha heart.
zhi kong kowtowed, "please instruct me!"
"don't get too excited yet; i have conditions."
gu lan sat cross-legged and said slowly, "this buddhist scripture is somewhat redundant for me, but i can't just give it away for nothing..."
"i understand!"
zhi kong said, "as long as it helps me seek revenge, i'm willing to be your disciple, make a vow on the buddhist path, and anyone who violates it will fall into the hell of pulling out tongues, never to be reborn!"
as he finished speaking, a golden light emanated from his spiritual consciousness, and the vow on the buddhist path was established. zhi kong didn't feel constrained; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, seeing a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"benefac...master, can you now teach the buddhist scripture to your disciple?"
for a buddha with attachments, the ability to see through the illusions of this bitter sea of existence no longer counted as pure buddhism. however!
as long as he could seek revenge for his beloved junior brother and master, what did it matter if he had attachments?
"zhi kong, i'm glad you have this understanding."
gu lan nodded slightly, knowing that this monk had sought a private conversation to seek assistance. however, even though gu lan pitied him, he couldn't help but watch from the sidelines, hearing only one side of the story.
now that the vow on the buddhist path had been established, everything was different!
even if zhi kong became the next buddha, transcending the ordinary and entering sainthood, he would still be gu lan's follower.
at the same time, he would be half a disciple!
with this thought put away, gu lan hovered in the air with crossed legs.
"today, i will pass on this buddhist scripture to you, called the 'mahayana dharma.' you can take it to spread the teachings and compete with the buddha in the western region... however, this scripture is different from the theravada dharma of this world.
it emphasizes crossing oneself while also caring for the world, not cutting off worldly troubles but assisting sentient beings in the cycle of the six realms..."
the mahayana dharma flowed slowly from gu lan's mouth.
at this moment, the buddha heart reflected, surrounded by auspicious light!
the golden buddha image slowly condensed behind gu lan, exuding buddha heart spiritual energy, dreamlike and surreal!
zhi kong stared in amazement!
after he snapped back to reality, he didn't dare to be careless, immediately focusing all his attention on listening to the sutra.
the buddha light illuminated them.
the two figures, one sitting and one kneeling, cast long shadows in the tranquil night forest...
in the capital city of the great jing, on the western gate tower!
gu xiaoqi had already transformed into human form and was playing by the clear stream, "xiaoqi doesn't object, but madame may be jealous!"
"haha..."
his wife was a small jar of vinegar... gu lan laughed heartily, just remembering the plot from the original novel, and it was just a momentary outburst.
the female emperor?
heh, can that thing compare to the fragrance of my wife?
with the attention of the masses and the burden of the country's destiny, he wouldn't even want it if it were handed to him on a silver platter!
while indulging in random thoughts.
a pleasant and long-lost mechanical sound rang out!
[you have recited and imparted the "mahayana dharma," saving all sentient beings, +1000 years of cultivation]
[received rewards]
[immortal-level clothing: cloud-patterned gauze garment] (armor)
[holy-ranked spiritual object: chaos-origin fruit]
[buddhist spiritual essence x1] (unknown grade)
[......]
gu lan's eyes lit up as he looked at the series of rewards appearing in the system space.
unexpectedly, not only did he gain a shining follower by discarding the seemingly useless buddhist teachings, but he also received so many good things!
there were quite a few things that were useful to him among them, especially the unknown-grade buddhist spiritual essence. after absorbing it later, it would surely bring considerable benefits!
however, what gu lan was more concerned about among them was the gauze garment and the chaos-origin fruit.
"the chaos-origin fruit can catalyze the formation of innate spiritual embryos. it doesn't have much effect on adults... isn't this specifically prepared by system dad for my wife?"
with this item, even if his wife had poor talent, she would undoubtedly be able to soar through hard work in the future. moreover, this sacred fruit would be of great benefit to the child in her womb!
"the day is already bright. i might as well absorb the buddhist spiritual essence before heading back."
suppressing the excitement in his heart, gu lan sat cross-legged, and with a thought, he took out the cluster of buddhist spiritual essence and swallowed it directly.
the buddhist spiritual essence transformed into pure energy, flowing into every part of his body.
various aspects of gu lan's physique also underwent changes!
[destiny +1000+1000]
[purple-grade middle stage]
[cultivation +100+200...]
[emperor realm seventh stage → eighth stage]
[indestructible buddha heart → nine-revolutions buddha body (emperor rank)]
[......]
