Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 190 Palace
The carriage that the snake-wielding monk brought was quite luxurious.

Not to mention the gilded and painted decorations on the outside of the carriage, the interior was also fully equipped with brocade cushions and bamboo pillows, and expensive incense smoke rose in wisps. At the very back of the carriage, there was even a finely crafted Buddha statue made entirely of pure gold.

Within the Tantric sect, there is a strict hierarchy, and Ben Shan was not qualified to sit with Zhou You, so at this moment, he was the only one in the carriage.

—However, right outside the curtain of the carriage, wherever the carriage passed, all the people who saw it, regardless of what they were doing or whether they were busy, knelt down devoutly and bowed in worship.

"We respectfully beseech the Master of Bodhi, and pray for the Buddha's glory and grace upon us."

The voice was extremely submissive, but Zhou You only felt annoyed. He casually flicked out a burst of murderous energy, and the curtains immediately fell down.

—This Tantric sect has only been in Lizhou for a few years, yet it has managed to tame the people to this extent. If it were to truly gain power, wouldn't the whole world become their sacred ground?
If again.
Zhou You closed his eyes and tried not to think about it anymore.
-
My consciousness seemed to sink, gradually drifting downwards.

I do not know how long it has been.

In a daze, Zhou You arrived at a palace.

The hall was incredibly spacious and magnificent. Everywhere you looked, there was a gilded color, as if the entire hall was cast in gold. Countless pearls and gems adorned it, shining brightly under the light of the ever-burning lamps.

The walls of the hall are covered with all kinds of Buddha statues, each several meters tall, exquisitely carved and lifelike. However, for some reason, the faces of those Buddha statues are blurry, making it impossible to see their true appearance.

Zhou You walked into the hall against his will, surrounded by flowers and shimmering jade trees, with countless chants of Buddhist hymns filling his ears.

“Build trillions of jeweled banners, hang trillions of jeweled pennants, drape trillions of jeweled ribbons, light trillions of incense burners, spread trillions of jeweled garlands, hold trillions of jeweled fans, and grasp trillions of jeweled whisks; hang trillions of jeweled bell nets, which, when blown by a gentle breeze, produce wondrous sounds; trillions of jeweled railings surround the area; trillions of jeweled Tara trees stand in orderly rows.”

The melodious sounds all spoke of the dreamlike splendor of Buddhism. As the sounds continued, the scenes described in the scriptures gradually appeared in this vast hall.

Their wealth and status were beyond description.

Moreover, as Zhou You gradually entered, the sounds became increasingly melodious.

“A trillion heavenly bell banners, a trillion heavenly net banners, emitting subtle sounds; a trillion heavenly silk banners, adorned with all kinds of colors; a trillion heavenly incense banners, hanging fragrant nets; a trillion heavenly flower banners, raining down all kinds of flowers; a trillion heavenly garment banners, draped with exquisite garments; a trillion heavenly mani jewel banners, adorned with all kinds of jewels; a trillion heavenly adornment banners, decorated with all kinds of ornaments; a trillion heavenly garland banners, with various flower garlands spread in all directions; a trillion heavenly canopy banners, with jeweled bells ringing harmoniously, bringing joy to all who hear them.”

The voice, which started solemnly, gradually became incredibly soft, as if a graceful fairy were whispering in your ear with a gentle and alluring voice.

But she was referring to a different scripture.

"At that time, there was a great deity in this palace named Ratnapati, who rose from his seat and paid homage to all the Buddhas of the ten directions, making a great vow: 'If my merit is sufficient to build a virtuous Dharma hall for Maitreya Bodhisattva, may pearls naturally appear from my forehead.' Having made this vow, five hundred billion precious pearls naturally appeared from his forehead, possessing all colors of lapis lazuli and crystal, shining like a purple mani jewel. This mani light swirled in the sky, transforming into forty-nine layers of exquisite jeweled palaces."

Amidst the enchanting and melodious chanting, the road suddenly came to an end.

Zhou You looked up and saw a Buddha as tall as a mountain sitting at the end of the hall. Like the others around him, his face was also unclear. But the moment Zhou You entered, he suddenly lowered his head.

Then, a deafening sound rang out from the place.

"—I ask you."

—But unexpectedly, the words were incredibly gentle and soft.

Just like a pool of clear water, it inevitably seeps into one's internal organs.

"...Would you like to become a Buddha?"

—As soon as those words fell, in the blink of an eye, my tired body began to feel a warm sensation.

"And with us."

—The final words had already seeped into my soul.

"Can we together save this degenerate age?" Zhou You suddenly awoke with a start.

—At this moment, the carriage had stopped, and Benshan was outside, carefully knocking on the carriage door.

"Master? Master? We've arrived."

Zhou You ignored him.

His brows furrowed as he carefully considered what had just happened.

—Was I asleep just now?
No, I've been on guard the whole time, how could I have fallen asleep in this Tantric vehicle?

—And what were those things we just saw? And what is this so-called becoming a Buddha and saving the world?
However, his usually sharp mind was now completely blocked out, unable to come up with any solution. His heart pounded like a drum, and his entire body trembled—a feeling he had only ever experienced with the Yellow Heavenly True Saint Emperor and the Auspicious and Tranquil Ghost Mother Bodhisattva.
No.

wrong.

Absolutely not.

The Buddha I saw while touring that temple was even more powerful than the other two.

—What on earth is the final boss in this script?!

But just then, there was another knock on the door.

"Master Songyang, what has happened? Why aren't you responding?"

Seeing that Ben Shan's words already contained some doubt, and even that he wanted to open the door to take a look, Zhou You finally let out a sigh of relief and temporarily memorized those things.

"I'm fine, I just dozed off for a bit. Have we arrived at our destination yet?"

Ben Shan, standing outside the car, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said...

"Yes, Master, we've arrived at our destination. Shall I help you up, or..."

"No need."

Zhou You pushed open the car door and jumped out with a light leap.

Outside the car, the sun shone brightly, its warmth bathing Zhou You, yet for some reason, he always felt a sense of unreality, a kind of dazed disorientation.

It was as if the whole world was an illusion.

It wasn't until Ben Shan called out from the side that Zhou You was finally brought back to reality.

"Master, those people from all walks of life are already waiting inside. Would you like to go and meet them now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou You looked up and immediately saw a delicate and elegant courtyard.

Judging from the architectural decorations, this should have been the secret lover's residence of a high-ranking monk in the temple. However, the area in front of the gate is now a mess, with garbage and debris piled up everywhere, and there is no trace of elegance to be seen.

Ben Shan frowned in disgust at the sight, but he still carefully found a clean path and led Zhou You to the door, then eagerly helped him open it.

Who would have expected.

The next moment, a whooshing sound suddenly rose from the ground!
