"Ananda Bodhisattva, there is no need to be polite."
The tall man looked at Jin Lian and said: "Teacher and Sakyamuni Buddha are of the same generation. You and I can also be the same generation."
The voice in the golden lotus said: "The saint is too polite."
After a few words of modesty, the voice coming out of Golden Lotus suddenly became a little more serious and low: "Does the saint know anything about the Yanhuang Realm now?"
The tall man is Lu Shengren, the dean of Doushi Academy.
He replied calmly: "I just learned that a few incompetent students were trapped there."
A voice came from the golden lotus: "Chang'an City in the Yanhuang Realm is unusual. If a saint is serious, he would invite this poor monk to be his guest."
Saint Lu said: "What does the Bodhisattva mean by his words? Does he know a lot about the city of Chang'an?"
"Someone with knowledge is here." A voice came from the golden lotus.
Saint Lu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
After that, he turned into the breeze and disappeared from the pond.
The golden lotus in the pond also disappeared.
They may be together in the eastern sky, or they may be far apart in the void.
In the vast universe, there are golden lights flashing in all directions, manifesting a Buddhist pure land that is larger than many worlds.
The pure land is densely covered with lotuses and precious trees, and the sound of the Buddha singing Sanskrit is endless.
At this time, a breeze blew.
The Buddha's light that enveloped the Pure Land Buddha Land was suddenly blown away like clouds and mist.
When the breeze enters the Pure Land, the Buddha's light gathers again.
A tall man wearing a high crown and ancient clothes appeared at the core of the Pure Land.
There is a lotus pond as vast as the sea. There is no water in the pond, but it is filled with Buddha's light, like pond water.
On the overflowing Buddha light, floating golden lotuses are countless.
On the largest golden lotus in the center sits a Buddhist Bodhisattva with a majestic appearance.
Seeing the arrival of the saint, the Buddhist Bodhisattva stood up, clasped his palms together and said, "I'm bothering the saint from running around."
Saint Lu returned the greeting: "I will bother the Bodhisattva next."
The Bodhisattva said: "The sage is too polite."
After Saint Lu sat down on the huge lotus platform in the center, a huge golden lotus bloomed next to the central lotus platform.
An old monk emerged from the newly opened golden lotus and saluted Bodhisattva Ananda and Sage Lu: "Disciple Kongshan has seen Bodhisattva and Sage Lu."
Saint Lu said: "I remember you are a disciple of Cihang Bodhisattva?"
Kongshan Arhat replied: "What the sage said is true, my disciple is the disciple of Cihang Pure Land."
Ananda Bodhisattva said: "Junior Brother Cihang practices Zen and has no involvement in the world, so Kongshan came to look for me. The matter involved the relics left by Brother Manjusri, so I had to ask the saint for help."
After hearing this, Saint Lu stopped mentioning Cihang Bodhisattva and asked directly: "Why can't the Bodhisattva stop Chang'an City?"
Ananda Bodhisattva said: "In the past, it might have been possible, but now, it's hard to say."
When Saint Lu heard this, he was slightly silent.
In fact, after he formally heard about Chang'an City in the Yanhuang Realm, he had a vague feeling in his heart.
It's unusual there.
It's even... slightly dangerous.
A master at his level has extremely keen telepathy and can almost predict many things.
People or things that can make him feel threatened are by no means trivial.
So he directly rejected Qu Yuanwen's plan to go to Yanhuang Realm.
But he himself wanted to take a trip.
Danger is dangerous, but it doesn't scare him. It just requires him to think twice and deal with it carefully, and not to be careless and underestimate the enemy.
But now after hearing what Ananda Bodhisattva said, he had a vague feeling that he had underestimated Chang'an City in the Yanhuang Realm before.
"I remember that the most holy master seems to have a descendant in the Yanhuang Realm?" Ananda Bodhisattva asked softly.
Saint Lu did not shy away and said calmly: "Teacher's descendants have already spread out in all directions. There are always some incompetent ones among them who deserve to be punished. Letting them still walk around in the name of Teacher is already taking care of them."
, they don’t need to count on the remaining care.”
After a brief pause, he continued: "However, if they cause a big disaster, I will at least find out the details."
Ananda Bodhisattva nodded: "No wonder."
He looked at Kongshan Arhat aside: "Kongshan will introduce the details to the saint."
Kongshan Arhat clasped his palms together and said: "What I know, I heard from my fellow disciples in the Yanhuang Realm, but unfortunately they have all died and we can no longer inquire further."
Sage Lu said: "It doesn't matter, just speak out."
Although he said it bluntly, the first thing Kongshan Arhat introduced was completely beyond his expectation.
"About forty years ago, a so-called immortal miracle appeared, and people from the Yanhuang Realm entered it..."
Kongshan Arhat narrated the story, first talking about the Twelve Yamas and the Immortal Trace Incident, and then the mysterious rise of Chang'an City in recent years.
Later, Chang'an City continued to expand, and Dongsheng Shenzhou Yansheng Mansion and Xiniu Hezhou Buddhist Pure Land fell successively.
Later, Shuxing Arhat and others from Cihang Pure Land were also killed in Chang'an City, as well as Duqing Master and others from Taiyi Sect, and Doushi Academy...
"A miracle?"
After Sage Lu listened quietly, he looked at Ananda Bodhisattva and asked, "Does Bodhisattva have any impression of this?"
Ananda Bodhisattva said: "Only after listening to Kongshan's words can you know."
Saint Lu was silent again.
He had just heard about the so-called miracles, but he didn't take it to heart.
If an extremely important treasure were to be discovered, Doushi Academy would not be able to receive any news.
The same goes for Ananda’s Pure Land.
No movement, in turn, means it is insignificant.
Perhaps, to those active in the Yanhuang Realm, and to those below the fifteenth realm, it is a shocking secret treasure.
But for people above the fourteenth realm, it is not that important.
To be precise, secret treasures of a similar level have appeared. For experts at their level, they are too many and too ordinary to deserve their special attention.
However, Sage Lu listened to Kongshan Arhat's introduction all the way, especially the fact that Buddhism had once purified a fragment of an immortal trace for study, which clearly contained endless mysteries.
It is not only important for people below the fifteenth realm, but also important for people with higher cultivation realms.
But for such an important thing, neither Saint Lu nor Bodhisattva Cihang or Bodhisattva Ananda had any awareness of it before. Under normal circumstances, this would not make sense.
To put it another way, if it was taken away quietly by others and they could not notice it, forget it. If this magical relic was really so important, how big a noise would it be if it exploded and shattered?
How could Saint Lu not be aware of it?
Moreover, those who collected the fragments were Jinghua, Ao Kong, Shen Herong and other people with low cultivation levels.
From beginning to end, this incident exuded a strange and abnormal atmosphere.
Sage Lu was now convinced that Ananda Bodhisattva was not innocent. The other party deliberately prevented him from going directly to the Yanhuang Realm and invited him to the Ananda Pure Land. It was indeed necessary.
"Bodhisattva is sincere, let me thank you in advance." Sage Lu said slowly.
Ananda Bodhisattva said: "The sage is too polite. I invite the sage to come here. In the final analysis, it is still the city of Chang'an in the Yanhuang Realm."
