Chapter 97 Buddha's Questions

"Snapped!"

Inside a villa in the city center, Zeng Gong smashed a blue-and-white porcelain vase at the entrance as soon as he entered.

Zeng Gong was filled with anger, unable to release the pent-up frustration in his heart.

Chima ignored his outburst and plopped down on the sofa, lighting a cigarette for himself.

A moment of silence fell over the air.

Zeng Gong walked to the sofa and whispered, "It's all Chong Tong's fault. If it weren't for him, I would have already killed that mythical host."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a burst of flames exploded before his eyes.

Zeng Gong was thrown into the air, smashing the marble dining table in the living room.

"Cough, cough."

Red Horse appeared beside him, its face indifferent, and stepped on Zeng Gong's shoulder.

"Ugh—" Zeng Gong endured the pain without making a sound.

"I don't want to hear your explanation right now, Akama." Compared to before, Akama's tone was exceptionally cold, like an emotionless machine.

"If I hadn't shown up in time, you would already be arrested by the investigation department and in jail."

"You almost ruined Red General's plan and put chess in danger."

He gradually increased the pressure with his feet.

Zeng Gong's clothes were soaked with blood.

But Zeng Gong never shouted it out.

A few seconds later, Chi Ma released his foot and sneered, "How laughable, you didn't even kill a first-level transcendent."

"You should know that chess organizations don't need waste."

Zeng Gong said fiercely, "I will go and kill him!"

"It's not your turn." Chi Ma looked out the window. "I've already notified the Mo Camp; they'll handle the double pupils cleanly and efficiently."

He then shifted his gaze back: "As for your matter, I will report it to Commander Chi truthfully. Be prepared."

After saying that, the tall, slender man turned and left.

Zeng Gong lay on the ground for a moment, then struggled to get up, looking unwilling.

Back home that night, Zheng Xiao immediately opened the Extraordinary People Forum.

This is the website that Brother Cheng Huo gave him. He said that it's full of posts from extraordinary individuals, and you can use it to learn about the past and the latest events.

Unexpectedly, the first post I saw after logging in was about Brother Double Pupil.

"Analysis of the top ten in the Twin Rank: Double Pupils may become the biggest winner, and we will also follow up on the previous top ten in the Spirit Control Rank."

The leaderboard expert said: "Among the top ten in the current Twin Rank, two have already obtained Mythic Knowledge three times. They are Kratos in first place and Rangiku in third place."

"The two of them will be promoted to Spirit Masters this week, and the others will also rise in the rankings accordingly."

"Therefore, the current second-ranked Double Pupil is just in time to rise to first place in the last week."

"Double Pupil is very lucky. If he is promoted in first place, his ranking is estimated to be between 150th and 200th."

"Besides him, the top ten—"

"Furthermore, Mo Pao's ranking is rising rapidly. As a new member of the chess organization, his performance deserves close attention."

Note.

"Now that we've discussed the Twin Ranks, let's talk about the Spirit Control Ranks."

"I tracked the rankings of the superhumans who advanced to the Spirit Control rank in the past two weeks and found that Chi Pao's ranking has dropped, while Wu's ranking has improved rapidly."

"Red Cannon's ranking dropped from 84th to 93rd, while Uzbekistan jumped from 124th to 99th."

"This situation is rare. I suspect that Red Cannon encountered a lower-ranked superhuman and was at a disadvantage in the duel, which is why his ranking dropped so much."

"According to rumors, Wu's ranking has improved because he dealt with a ferocious-level demon."

"As expected of the host of the Three-Legged Corpse Crow, this strength is indeed outstanding."

"But as I said before, after his initial burst of growth, his rate of improvement will gradually slow down, and it may take about a month before he can break into the top 50."

After reading the post, Zheng Xiao muttered to himself, "The number one in the Twin Rank, I wonder if I'll ever have a chance in the future—"

Five days passed quickly.

Du Wang spent his time in the investigation department peacefully and uneventfully before his promotion.

Of course, he wasn't idle either; he was constantly working out in the gym, sweating profusely and honing his physique.

With the help of various supplements, his physical fitness steadily improved.

The other team members admired him privately, and Zheng Xiao, who joined the gym team out of admiration.

During this period, Cheng Huo successfully advanced to the second rank and continued to research his abilities in the underground laboratory.

Occasionally, he would boast to Du Wang that his abilities had made a qualitative leap and that he might be able to break into the top ten in the future.

Sunday is fast approaching.

The clock struck twelve.

The tinnitus returned, and Du Wang successfully obtained the third piece of mythological knowledge.

Professor Zheng Tong and Professor Zhuang sat beside him. Seeing him open his eyes, they asked, "How was it? Did you learn anything important?"

After a moment's thought, Du Wang said, "I have obtained a fragment of a myth."

"Oh?" Professor Zhuang pressed the recorder button. "Go on."

A monk asked the Buddha: "The hearts of people are dark and unfathomable. Even if they hold the Buddha's mind, they can only illuminate themselves and cannot spread the Buddha's light to others, let alone lead them to the other shore. So why bother using the sea as a boat to ferry the lost? Why not cultivate oneself and be one's own master?"

The Buddha said: "Excellent question. Although the human mind is dark, it also possesses the nature of light. Though darkness is boundless, even a sliver of light can illuminate forty-eight thousand worlds, reaching everywhere without end."

Upon hearing the words "World Honored One," Professor Zhuang nearly dropped his recording pen.

He looked completely surprised, and only after the story was finished did he exclaim in shock, "It's actually a fragment of the Buddha's mythology!"

Zheng Tong was also extremely surprised, as most of the mythological fragments collected by the authorities were concentrated on monsters and immortals.

Buddhist stories are rarely found in fragments, and the powerful deities of Buddhism have never appeared in these fragments.

Unexpectedly, Du Wang obtained fragments of a story about Buddha.

This is undoubtedly a significant breakthrough.

Because of the incident at the Immortal's Dojo, everyone knows that the ancient immortals and gods are real and not fabricated.

Those so-called "myths" are, in essence, just a fleeting moment in this long history.

The fact that Du Wang's story is related to Buddha suggests that Buddha may have played a role in the descent of Buddha.

Professor Zhuang quickly translated the entire story and explained it to the two of them.

A novice monk asked the Buddha, "The human heart is dark; even if one upholds a Buddhist heart, one can only illuminate oneself and cannot save others. Why then does Buddhism insist on being a boat across the sea of ​​suffering to ferry all beings to the shore? Why not just cultivate oneself?"

The Buddha replied that although the human heart is dark, there is still a glimmer of light. Even if the darkness is boundless, as long as there is a glimmer of light, it can illuminate the forty-eight thousand worlds and help people cross the sea of ​​suffering.

Zheng Tong frowned and said, "This passage contains a lot of information."

Du Wang was surprised, wondering where the large amount of information came from.

Seemingly seeing through his doubts, Professor Zhuang explained, "Although this story is simple, it reveals the Buddhist stance."

The novice monk believed that Buddha should only cultivate himself, while Buddha believed that the human heart has a precious quality and is worth saving. If applied to the context of the Advent event, this suggests that Buddhism might be the one offering hope to humanity.

"I see."
