Chapter 73 The True Buddha Descends into the World, the Golden Body of Buddha (Seeking First Subscription)

Su Li said seriously.

Su Li solemnly took out her phone, turned on the recording function, and said seriously, "Tell me in detail about your encounter with the Iron-Faced Monk, from beginning to end, as detailed as possible."

Xie Lingxin glanced at it: "That person in the clan management office, is he called Iron-Faced Monk?"

Su Li said, "This is his code name in the White Lotus Society. The Religious Affairs Bureau has not revealed his specific identity."

"The bureau needs to investigate everything about that person. The purpose is to deal with the White Lotus Society and also to deal with the questioning from the Religious Affairs Bureau. Please be as detailed as possible."

Xie Lingxin nodded in understanding, thought for a moment, and then began to speak.

The event had only just occurred, and it was something he would never forget, so naturally there was nothing difficult about it.

Su Li's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you sure he deliberately threw the eyebrow pencil at you, and that you didn't do anything before that?"

"After you killed the female ghost, he suddenly reappeared, wanting to seize the legendary power and the essence of the seven emotions?"

Xie Lingxin nodded: "Yes."

His face darkened as he said, "Huo Shan died because of this, but in his mouth, it was just 'playing around.' Is this the typical 'domineering' style of the clan management office?"

Su Li sighed, "I've heard about the way the Clan Management Office operates; it's indeed very domineering. And according to you, this person comes from a prominent family, so it goes without saying that he's even more powerful."

“Young men from prominent families are generally very cultured, but they all have one thing in common: they are all arrogant and disdainful of others, and no matter how much they try to hide it, they will never change.”

"But don't worry, with what you've said, even the Religious Affairs Bureau will have to swallow its own bitterness this time!"

Xie Lingxin sensed something was wrong: "Has something happened?"

Su Li nodded: "Last night, the Iron-Faced Monk's physical body was discovered by the Religious Affairs Bureau. They immediately put pressure on Leizhou authorities and demanded that the city government and the bureau hand over the murderer."

"Director Dai held firm, but the Relics Management Office had too much power and of course wouldn't give up. They put pressure on the higher-ups of the Environmental Protection Bureau directly. In the end, it was Team Leader Jin who stepped in and made them wary, so they didn't dare to go too far."

"Now that we have what you've said, as long as we get the proof, it won't be the religious affairs office causing trouble, it will be us causing them trouble!"

Xie Lingxin heard him speak simply, but she could sense the "swords and shadows" involved, which was probably more dangerous than real swords and guns.

"From what you've said, it seems like my sister is even more powerful than the bureau chief?"

Hearing this made him even more curious about Jin Su's background.

She kept calling me "my sister" so affectionately.

Su Li rolled her eyelids repeatedly, almost revealing the whites of her eyes.

However, he also knew that even Jin Su herself had tacitly approved of this, so what could he say? Of course, all he could do was feel envious.

"As for Captain Jin, you can ask her yourself when she gets back. I wouldn't dare to gossip about her behind her back."

Su Li's vague explanation made Xie Lingxin even more curious, and she felt a strong itch in her heart.

"In short, you just need to know that this matter is over for you. Go about your business as usual and don't feel burdened."

As Su Li spoke, she looked at the young face in front of her and sighed.

This matter is naturally not going to be so calm and uneventful.

Killing a member of a prominent family in the clan management office is enough to shake the entire Leizhou.

If things go wrong, it could implicate a large number of people, and even cost them their lives.

Su Li also heard that Director Dai was summoned to the city hall last night and, together with the city hall's investigators, overturned the table, almost resulting in an unprecedented brawl at the city hall.

Even when higher-ups in the bureau called, he snapped at them.

However, I heard that later, high-ranking officials in the Environmental Protection Bureau also suddenly turned against the government and, together with Director Dai, hanged city officials.

Just as things were spiraling out of control, the clan management office suddenly called to say that the matter should be put to rest.

Director Dai only found out later from higher-ups that Team Leader Jin had gone directly to the Far East District Government the previous night.

The Far East District Office of the Religious Affairs Bureau is located there.

I don't know the specifics, but I heard that the people in the office had a terrible night.

Especially that section chief, who is said to be bedridden.

Tsk tsk, the director of the regional office is on par with the district governor. Team Leader Jin beat him up whenever he wanted, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Su Li was also surprised to learn that her captain was so awesome.

Previously, I only knew that she had a mysterious background.

However, there's no need to talk about these things.

After all, it's the religious affairs office. They've already done their job, and even if it makes people lose face, they still have to save some dignity for them.

Xie Lingxin was able to pass the test so easily, undoubtedly because of the strong protection from above and the formidable deterrent power of Team Jin.

But if it were someone else, would the higher-ups in the bureau be willing to protect them to the death?

It was because his own value was enough for the bureau to withstand the pressure.

His connection with Jin Su is something most people can only dream of.

Luck and skill are both indispensable in this process.

Although Su Li didn't say anything, Xie Ling could guess some of it.

However, he believed in Kim So.

If it's over, then it's over.

As long as Kim So is around, the pressure won't reach me.

"Where's my sister? I haven't seen her in ages."

Su Li said, "Captain Jin is busy dealing with the White Lotus Society, which is exactly what I wanted to tell you."

"Didn't Team Leader Jin remind you before you entered the Domain Realm?"

Xie Lingxin remembered the text message and nodded.

Su Li said, "This matter has to start with the White Lotus Society's 'True Buddha's Descent' plan."

"A true Buddha has descended to earth?" Xie Ling thought to herself, "I also heard Zhu Wenjie say this in the realm. What exactly is this? Could there really be a Buddha?"

Su Li sneered: "The material world naturally doesn't have it, but the realm world does."

"Cultivating oneself to become an immortal, and immortals and gods are all made by humans; this is the mainstream ideology of the Federation."

"But there are also some 'non-mainstream' people who never believe that humans can be compared with 'gods and immortals'. They believe that gods and immortals are born high above and that mortals cannot blaspheme them."

"They fanatically worship those legendary gods and Buddhas, even fantasizing about welcoming them down from the illusion to the real material world."

“These fanatics are capable of anything for the gods they worship, even daring to defy the Federation.”

"The White Lotus Society is just a bunch of madmen."

He seemed to have talked too much. He got up, poured two glasses of water, returned, handed one to Xie Lingxin, and took a couple of sips before continuing:

“In realms of the Savage level or higher, there may indeed be ‘Buddhas’.”

"But you should also know that the material world is the material world, and the spiritual world is the spiritual world,"

"Our spiritual practice, to some extent, is about breaking through the limitations of the material world,"

"Even a mere mortal-grade cultivation technique requires the aid of legendary power. The higher and more powerful the power, the more difficult it is to break through its limitations,"

"Let alone the legendary true Buddha?"

"The White Lotus Society has been planning to welcome the true Buddha into the world for a long time."

"Their influence extends beyond Far East Star; they also have tentacles that secretly entrenched themselves in various corners of the Federation on other planets."

"They pop up and cause trouble from time to time, giving the Federation a headache."

Xie Lingxin was somewhat surprised: "Could it be that they really have the means to bring down a true Buddha?"

Su Li shook her head: "I don't know either. Maybe it is, but maybe it's just the delusion of a bunch of madmen."

"Based on the clues we've uncovered, they want to create a 'golden statue' capable of containing the spirit of the Buddha in order to commemorate his incarnation..."

"The possibility of welcoming the 'Buddha' from the realm to descend into the material world is extremely slim, but if it is only a part of the Buddha's spirit, it is much easier."

"Therefore, they plotted to first create a 'golden Buddha statue' in the material world, and then guide the spirit of the Buddha to descend, even if it is only a part of it, it is still the 'true Buddha'."

"But if people can even create a 'golden body of Buddha,' what's the point of us practicing any spiritual disciplines?"

He paused, then asked Xie Lingxin, "Have you ever heard of 'Buddha offerings'?"

"Offerings to the Buddha?"

Xie Lingxin was taken aback, then nodded and immediately said, "May this cloud of incense and flowers fill the ten directions, to be offered to all Buddhas, to the Dharma, and to all sages. May it be used for Buddhist purposes in the boundless Buddha lands."

"This must be a way of practicing Buddhism, right?"

Su Li was surprised: "You even understand Buddhism?"

Xie Lingxin's eyes darted around as she came to her senses, feeling somewhat surprised.

There's nothing I can do about it. I read a lot of miscellaneous books in my past life, and now that I've achieved some success in spiritual cultivation, my memories haven't become blurry at all; on the contrary, I'm remembering more and more things.

It wasn't this exaggerated before entering the Domain Realm.

After successfully invoking the gods for the first time, one's sexual abilities will greatly improve.

Now, upon hearing Su Li's question, he can answer it immediately.

Seeing his expression, Su Li mistakenly thought he didn't want to talk.

Although she found it very strange, she didn't press the matter.

He continued, "That's right, this is a way of practicing Buddhism, or more precisely, a way of cultivating the mind."

"Offerings to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha through material, spiritual, or spiritual practices,"

"It is for the purpose of rectifying one's mind and behavior, eliminating greed in one's heart, and nourishing compassion in one's heart."

"There are generally three ways to make offerings to the Buddha: offerings with worldly wealth, offerings with worldly teachings, and offerings without form."

"Offering money, practicing Buddhism, or even just reciting a Buddha's name or bowing with hands clasped without being bound by formalities are all forms of offering."

"The essence is to reveal one's mind through things and to cultivate one's mind through events."

"But the madmen of the White Lotus Society created another kind of 'offering' in addition to these three offerings—the offering of their bodies!"

Xie Lingxin was startled: "Body offering?"

Su Li asked in surprise, "You've heard of it?"

Xie Lingxin snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head: "Oh, no."

Actually he knows.

I read a lot of miscellaneous books in my past life.

In his previous life before attaining enlightenment, the Medicine King Bodhisattva was the Bodhisattva of Joy for All Sentient Beings, and he burned his body for a thousand years to make offerings to the Buddha.

The scriptures say: His body burned for 1,200 years.

After being reborn, he burned his arm again for 72,000 years.

They were practicing a method of self-sacrifice.

The so-called "burning one's body and destroying one's form to make offerings to the Buddha" refers to this practice.

Xie Lingxin didn't know where these Buddhist scriptures came from, nor did he know the meaning of doing so. He didn't have the level of understanding to ponder them, nor was he interested.

But at least we know that the Medicine King Bodhisattva has the ability to live for thousands of years while his body is engulfed in flames.

If someone has that skill, they can just burn it for fun, and you can only watch with envy.

But what would happen if a person offered their body as a sacrifice?

It must be an evil practice!
