The white fairy mist rises and falls, and the golden light shines like the sun.
On the lotus platform, runes bloomed one after another. The woman who had been showing off her power just now returned to her calmness and became sacred.
Her whole body was bathed in brilliant golden light, and she looked like a Bodhisattva saving the world, with a sense of compassion for the world.
"Are you... a Buddhist?"
Ye Qinghan frowned. This was beyond her expectations.
Before, the skinny old man Sha Yu who took Gu Kuange away had told her and Gu Zhi that she was about to "fall ill".
She and Gu Zhi both took it for granted that this "illness" was related to the Immaculate Demonic Body.
One reason is that before Sha Yu said that she was about to "fall ill", she first mentioned the pure demonic body.
Secondly, "disease" usually originates from one's own body, which makes her and Gu Zhi agree that the "illness" is caused by the Immaculate Demonic Body.
But now it seems that is not the case.
The reason why her vitality was sealed and her spiritual consciousness was trapped actually had nothing to do with the Immaculate Demonic Body.
The main problem comes from the mysterious woman on the lotus platform in front of him.
Who is she?
The first time Ye Qinghan got into trouble was when he killed Zhou Mofeng in Jinguang Temple.
Later, when he entered the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he began to lose focus frequently.
Both Jinguang Temple and Zhenmo Pagoda are related to Buddhism.
The lotus platform on which the woman in front of him stood now displayed the feeling of a bodhisattva, which was also closely related to Buddhism.
Buddhism is widely distributed and has an extremely large influence. Take Qingming Daozhou for example, the entire Western Desert is controlled by the Buddhist sect.
The most powerful sect in Buddhism is called Leiyin Temple, located in the Western Heaven Daozhou.
However, people in the Buddhist community would omit the suffix "Daozhou" and just call it "Xitian".
"Western Heaven, Leiyin Temple, Jieyin Bodhisattva."
The woman spoke and answered Ye Qinghan's question directly.
This time, she was very serious, with no smile on her face, nor any other forced expression. She was quite solemn, with golden runes flying behind her head, shining brightly, interweaving into a divine ring, like a sun, making her look even more divine.
"The Bodhisattva of Reception?"
Ye Qinghan's pupils suddenly shrank and he took a breath of cold air.
She knew little about Buddhism, but she had heard of the name.
The core circle of Buddhism is divided into three levels: Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Vajra. Although Bodhisattva is only the second level, the Guide Bodhisattva is a special existence and is said to have a more transcendent status than many Buddhas.
It is said that the Bodhisattva Jie Yin is the guide of the leader of Buddhism, Sakyamuni Tathagata, so he has an extremely transcendent status.
Moreover, the power of the Bodhisattva of Reception is comparable to that of the creation, and is much stronger than that of many Buddhas.
Sakyamuni Buddha also wanted to "upgrade" the Guide Bodhisattva and make him the Guide Buddha, but the Guide Bodhisattva insisted on refusing.
Therefore, Jie Yin Bodhisattva retained the title of "Bodhisattva", but in the Leiyin Temple in the West, he firmly sat in the third seat.
In ancient legends, the master of Leiyin Temple, Sakyamuni Tathagata, who is also the leader of Buddhism in the Three Thousand Continents, is a top-level Buddha.
Among the many immortals, demons, and Buddhas, Sakyamuni Tathagata has outstanding combat power and is definitely at the top of the pyramid. He has beaten up several immortals and killed several demons.
Jie Yin Bodhisattva is also a Buddha. Although his combat power is not as terrifying as that of Sakyamuni Tathagata, he is still an extremely terrifying existence at the level of Immortal Lord, Demon Lord, and Buddha Lord.
Many immortals and demons are afraid of the Bodhisattva Jie Yin, not to mention Ye Qinghan, a "small fish and shrimp".
"I am not the legendary Bodhisattva of Reception."
Jie Yin Bodhisattva saw what Ye Qinghan was thinking and said:
"Who in this world is immortal? Even someone as powerful as Sakyamuni Tathagata will perish."
"Time is merciless, slaying all the proud and powerful. No matter who they are, they will eventually turn into dust."
Ye Qinghan's pupils trembled. There was a lot of information in the words of this Bodhisattva!
"The Bodhisattva of Reception... is it equivalent to a position, a title, and can it be inherited?"
Ye Qinghan asked. She really knew very little about Buddhism because it was too mysterious and complicated. The strong people from ancient times to the present were all very wary of it.
Jie Yin Bodhisattva nodded, and she told Ye Qinghan everything she knew:
"Those legends you've heard about, like Sakyamuni Buddha and the Bodhisattva Jieyin, are from the ancient times, millions of years ago. How could they still exist?"
"The current Tathagata, that is, the Tathagata of the present age, has been replaced countless times, and the same is true for the Bodhisattvas of Reception."
"Tathagata, the Bodhisattva of Reception, and the Dragon-Subduing Vajra, these are all positions and titles. They have been passed down for countless years and are no longer the same people they were before. However, since they are positions and titles, the responsibilities they bear are still similar. For example, as the Bodhisattva of Reception, I need to guide those with predestined relationships into Buddhism. The first generation of the Bodhisattva of Reception guided Sakyamuni Tathagata. I think Ye Qinghan, you have the potential to become the future Bodhisattva of Reception."
Ye Qinghan knew that this was why Jie Yin Bodhisattva was patient with her.
Even though the current Guiding Bodhisattva is not the first generation of the Guiding Bodhisattva and is not a Buddha, she is still extremely terrifying and killing her would be as easy as pie.
However, the Bodhisattva Jie Yin wanted to lead her into Buddhism, so he answered all her questions.
"You just said you'd lead me on the path to immortality, that you and I would live forever together. But now you're saying no one can be immortal. Even someone as powerful as Sakyamuni Tathagata has turned into dust. Don't you think that's contradictory?"
Ye Qinghan asked again, thinking that he could learn some secrets from this Bodhisattva of Reception, and perhaps these secrets could help Gu Zhi in the future.
Although she seemed to be asleep, she knew clearly what was happening in the outside world. Shen Jinghong was not dead and was suspected to have entered the fairyland. In the near future, his true body would appear and confront Gu Zhida...
If we can get some information from the Bodhisattva Jie Yin, it may be helpful to Gu Zhi.
"So-called longevity is, of course, relative. You practice martial arts, so you can only live for two to three thousand years at most. But if you join my Buddhist sect and become the next generation of the Bodhisattva of Reception, I can guarantee that you will live for 20,000 to 30,000 years, increasing your lifespan tenfold. While it's not true immortality, it's almost there."
The Bodhisattva Jie Yin was very frank at this moment and explained everything clearly.
Ye Qinghan did not continue this topic, but continued to ask:
"In ancient times, Sakyamuni Tathagata was almost the pinnacle of Buddhas. Couldn't he have made it into the immortal realm?"
"People from the Immortal Realm can descend to the human world and come to the Three Thousand Dao Continents. Can't the strongest people in the human world break into the Immortal Realm and achieve immortality?"
"A being of Sakyamuni Tathagata's level shouldn't be able to break into the immortal world, right?"
The Bodhisattva Jieyin shook his head and smiled:
"Of course, Sakyamuni Tathagata could have entered the immortal realm. In fact, Sakyamuni Tathagata had entered the immortal realm more than once, but in the end he chose to pass away in the human world. Do you know why?"
Ye Qinghan was shocked. Is there such a thing?
