Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 106 Young Master Xu's Buddhist Name
Above the white clouds, a man and a woman looked like a divine couple.

"The cassock, put it away!"

The crimson cloth flowed back to the cuffs like rivers returning to their source, and Master Fahai was taken offline, replaced by Xu Hanwen, the academy's instructor.

Bai Suzhen felt a sense of familiarity as she watched this scene.

I remembered something that had been bothering me: the love tribulation I witnessed inside Leifeng Pagoda.

It seems the third story of the Bodhisattva's exposition of the Dharma is about the flooding of Jinshan Temple, the robe covering the sky and the sun, and the white snake giving birth on the Broken Bridge.
A red kasaya?

For some reason, my thoughts suddenly became as chaotic as the wind and rain below.

She looked at the man beside her with a more inquisitive gaze.

Xu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable with the scrutinizing gaze. Suddenly, Bai Niangzi seemed to have lost some of her ethereal charm, which was rather strange.

And I feel a little uneasy inside.

Could it be that there's some hidden danger in this robe that a senior cultivator has noticed?
He took the initiative to ask if there was anything wrong with the robe.

Bai Suzhen turned her head away nonchalantly, suppressing her inexplicable anger with the Heart Sutra.

They assumed it was due to the disorder of heaven and earth, and the residual calamity energy of a powerful being in this place, which affected their original mind.

I adjusted my mindset before replying.

"This robe has profound implications; it can be sized as desired and is impervious to water and fire. It must also possess great power. If one can wield it freely, it can truly seal the heavens and cover the earth. The Pure Land School truly deserves to be called the foremost school of Buddhism."

This treasure is far more powerful than the divine weapon given to Xiaoqing.

Buddhist robes, staffs, alms bowls, prayer beads, and wooden fish are all valuable items.

The more Buddhist influences one possesses, the deeper one's understanding of Buddhist principles, and the stronger one's affinity with Buddhism, the greater the power of Buddhist teachings.

The key point is that these items are unlimited, and you can even make them yourself; the materials aren't particularly hard to find.

The cassock in Xu Xuan's hand is a heirloom, making it even more rare.

One can vaguely see the meaning of "Buddha's robe" and "relying on the Buddha" to signify refuge, and there is also the wondrous sight of dragon and crane ornaments. If the true form could be revealed, it would surely be clear which Bodhisattva left it.

Although Xu Xuan always felt that his progress was too slow and that his magic weapons were not effective enough.

That's because they came into contact with too many important figures. The upper limit of the era when immortals and gods were nowhere to be found was the generation of cultivators like Bai Suzhen who were originally about to attain enlightenment.

He frequently interacted with these big shots, so naturally there were some errors in his judgment.

In reality, this guy was already terrifyingly strong in the eyes of normal cultivators.

He entered the Dao in less than a year of cultivation, and in addition, he made a very short but very deep progress in the realm of riding on the path.

In magical battles, there is the Seven Star Big Dipper Sword; in Buddhism, there is this brocade kasaya.

He has countless lives on his hands, the blood of his comrades, making him a true killing star.

That Judge Lu shamelessly claimed that Xu Xuan was unworthy of a divine weapon, but as it turns out, a certain great demon was very worthy.

Xu Xuan was quite moved after learning of Bai Niangzi's evaluation.

I was touched by how generous my senior was.

This treasure was given to me without any explanation, and I will never reveal it to Ruoxu if something happens to me in the future.

As he pondered, he moved a little closer to the White Girl.

It wasn't that my Buddhist faith was weak, but rather that I was a little unaccustomed to walking on clouds for the first time. The fierce wind raged around me, and my feet felt empty and without any support.

Looking around, the view is so wide that nothing can obstruct it.

Standing above the clouds, the clear sky is like being in a boundless fairyland, surrounded by a thick sea of ​​clouds that sometimes rolls and sometimes remains calm.

Below, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled. Lightning flashed through the clouds, and torrential rain poured down like a waterfall. The rain was so heavy, yet it couldn't reach the world above the clouds, as if this were another parallel universe, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The Bodhi Patriarch said, “Those who can ride the clouds must rise early from the North Sea, travel through the East Sea, the West Sea, the South Sea, and then return to Cangwu. Cangwu is actually the language of Lingling in the North Sea. Only when one has traveled all over the four seas in a single day can one be considered to ride the clouds.”

This is Xu Xuan's idea of ​​cultivating immortality; only those who can ride the clouds and mist can be considered immortals.

This time, I was only able to experience it thanks to Miss Bai's cloud-riding technique.

He will most likely never have this experience in the future.

Just thinking about how my senior brother stood on the void, his golden light shaking time and space, tells me what kind of scene this is going to be. "Should we fly a little longer?"

Bai Suzhen's words made Xu Xuan a little embarrassed, as it was now obvious that she admired the art style.

And why is this woman so gentle? It's impossible to guard against her!
Amitabha Buddha, my heart is as strong as steel!
"Ahem, you can go now."

"The Jiangnan Literary Gathering has not yet come to an end."

This great battle seemed to have been brewing for a long time, but it ended very quickly when the true colors were revealed.

Zhu Erdanwen was defeated and left coughing up blood. Before the battle, both sides came up with many schemes and fought to a standstill, with Xu Xuan even falling slightly behind.

Lady White Snake fiercely beat up the magical incarnation of Judge Lu in the outer sea, while Ruoxu Golden Body entered the Netherworld to suppress evil spirits.

After the battle began by West Lake, Xiaoqing fought against the big boss for several rounds using unconventional fighting methods. Then, the Underworld God, after becoming a demon, performed a scene of "I kill myself".

If it weren't for the immense power of the judge's divine abilities, Judge Lu wouldn't have died so quickly.

Those underworld soldiers alone can hold out for a long time.

When the two descended from the clouds, the rain was still falling by the lake, but it had begun to lessen.

The place where the battle had taken place had been corroded by Xiaoqing's demonic power, and she had already entered the lake to retrieve the Judge's Pen.

Xu Xuan, under the curious gaze of Miss Bai, recited the Rebirth Mantra once around the three-foot Pure Land. This is one of the morning and evening recitations of the Pure Land School and can be considered a scripture of the school.

If you sincerely recite this mantra, your enemies will be unable to harm you, and you will enjoy peace and happiness. Everything will go smoothly, bringing good fortune, happiness, and peace.

It seems a bit inappropriate.

Having escaped the underworld, Judge Lu had nowhere else to go but the Western Paradise. But even the Western Paradise was gone.

Never mind, what's done is done, so going through the motions and offering a blessing is perfectly acceptable.

"Amitabha Buddha, may Judge Lu have a safe journey."

"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded; the vicissitudes of life are the true path of humanity."

After finishing all of this, Xu felt a sense of fulfillment.

After saying goodbye to Miss Bai, I had to rush back to the main venue, as the academy might already be searching for me.

"Wait a minute, it would be better if Young Master Xu brought an umbrella."

As he spoke, he handed over the umbrella he was holding.

"Yes, yes, Miss Bai is so thoughtful."

My mental and physical exhaustion was no less than that of the students who participated in the literary gathering, and at this moment I had lost all sense of caution.

Upon receiving it, I realized how familiar the story of the White Snake giving an umbrella seemed.

Before he could react, Bai Suzhen asked another question.

"Young Master Xu, I've never asked before, what is your Buddhist name?"

Crack! The lightning didn't strike the sky, but it struck my heart.

That's a good question. Luckily, I was prepared.

"The true Dharma is the treasure of wisdom, as vast as the ocean."

"Zhengzhi?"

Fahai.

Bai Suzhen instinctively felt uneasy, just like when she saw that cassock.

"Why isn't Fahai a being of boundless magical power, capable of splitting seas and collapsing mountains?"

After saying that, he disappeared by the lake. Xu Xuan seemed not to have heard anything and walked towards the venue with his umbrella open.

Only the back of the clothes was slightly wet from the rain.

The cause and effect are intertwined, and there is no way to avoid it.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw several of Chongqi's students walking back outside the venue.
