Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Chapter 103 The Wisdom of Ganesha

"My Lord, I offer you my treasures, and beseech you to hear my wisdom."

The head croupier sat down in front of the statue and lit the sacrificial altar in front of him. As a large amount of jewels and spices were thrown into the sacrificial fire, the originally dark red flames burst into a dazzling seven-colored radiance.

In the radiance, a pot-bellied, endearing little elephant god appeared. He looked at the head croupier with wise eyes and said, "Somatan, I accept your offering. State your request."

Today, the core of the gods of Bharat is also the cycle of karma and cause and effect. However, unlike the Buddha in Buddhism who ultimately transcends karma, the gods of Bharat, including the three main gods, are all within the cycle of karma.

Therefore, their connection with believers is even closer, and the most famous aspect is their system of asceticism and blessing.

Believers can accumulate karma through ascetic practices. As long as this karma pleases a certain deity, a corresponding blessing must be bestowed, even if this blessing harms the deity itself.

Of course, it is precisely because of this constraint that the blessings of the god Barat are often terrifying and bizarre.

"My lord, a young man came to the casino today. He earned two million incense offerings with his peculiar gambling skills. I want to know his background."

The head dealer, Su Motan, is from the intermediate realm, so even though he knows that Ao Peng is a player from the real world, he cannot know Ao Peng's specific identity information.

"As you wish."

Ganesha raised one arm, which held a broken tusk adorned with various jewels, the tusk of which was made from Himself.

Just as Odin sacrificed one of his eyes to gain endless knowledge, Ganesha sacrificed one of his tusks to gain wisdom and knowledge.

The ivory gleamed with pure white light in his hand, radiating wisdom that illuminated the surrounding area for miles, even causing ripples to appear in the invisible space.

At the same time, Ao Peng, who was painting the image of the Kitchen God in the real world, sensed something. He looked up slightly, and Xiao Chaos, who was playing with the landlord Ao Di Que, suddenly became like a cat with its fur standing on end.

His round body suddenly swelled up and, in an instant, transformed into a formless, colorless, and dark chaos, which in turn enveloped his wings, hands, and feet.

Then it was as if this mass of darkness was pierced from a distance by a sharp force, and it dented in one side. However, the darkness was deep and did not directly resist this force. Whichever side the force pierced, it tilted in that direction.

Ao Peng put down his pen, his gaze solemn. He clutched the half of the [Heavenly Grudge Afterbirth] draped over his body. If Little Chaos and his own [Unborn Cause] couldn't withstand it, he could only place his hopes on this afterbirth.

He took out his phone, opened the game, and sure enough, he saw lines of notification text appear on his game screen.

[The elephant-headed god, at the urging of believers, seeks to use karma to peer into your past and future.]

[Because of the nature of minor causality, you noticed this spying. Clever successor, if I were you, I would unleash my divine power to retaliate! What right does a minor god like Barat have to act so arrogantly here!]

The system's ability to incite conflict is top-notch, but Ao Peng knows his own limitations.

At this moment, the enemy is in the open while he is in the dark, so he must remain calm and composed!

If I overestimate my abilities at this time, I will only expose my whereabouts.

Ao Peng was not fooled, and the system text continued to appear.

[Because of the nature of your unborn cause, and because of the separation by the realm of reality, Ganesha's wisdom was insufficient to break through the illusion and thus failed to complete this glimpse.]

The underground temple of Shoucai Town shone with the light of wisdom for miles around, but eventually could not reach any further. It slowly receded and condensed into the shape of the little elephant god on the altar.

When the head croupier Somatan saw his master return from meditation, he immediately pleaded, "Noble son of Shiva, please grant me revelation."

Ganesha: ————

Of course, as a god of Barat, Ganesha never suffers from mental exhaustion.

He spoke in a solemn, holy, and slightly regretful voice, "My believer, I see wrong in you."

Somatan, who had been full of confidence, was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed, "My lord, I have been following your guidance without the slightest slackening."

Ganesha nodded slightly. "I know your intentions, but your cultivation is insufficient. Today, it is precisely because the karma you have accumulated through arduous practice is not enough to fulfill this wish that your wisdom cannot penetrate the darkness."

This is what makes the gods of Barat so powerful.

Karma can fulfill all wishes, but if your wishes cannot be fulfilled, it means that the karma you have accumulated through arduous practice is insufficient, and you need to continue to suffer in this world. No wonder the gods are always so logical.

Instead of looking for the cause within yourself, look for the cause in others first. This is the wisdom of the Great Barat!

After the elephant-headed god manipulated his followers, he began to think about how to deal with the problem.

The darkness, which even he couldn't see clearly, made him almost certain that an opponent of equal strength was making a move.

Although he is a deity of Bharat, he has gained some recognition in China by following Buddhism, so he will not be attacked by the masses unless the Chinese pantheon wants to completely sever ties with the Buddhist pantheon.

In other words, the one who attacked him this time was just a deity of the same level in China.

The reason Ganesha didn't speculate about the two was because Shoucai Town was only a town-level land in the intermediate realm, and a town couldn't accommodate two great Buddhas; this was determined by the rules of the intermediate realm.

The most important thing now is to figure out who made the move so that we can make the appropriate arrangements.

Ganesha looked at the believers again, then raised his right arm and bestowed the golden rope in his hand. This rope was divided into six strands, symbolizing six different kinds of greed. Each strand had a hidden barb, foreshadowing the great vow Ganesha made after entering Buddhism: "First, use desire to lure sentient beings, then awaken them to the wisdom of Buddha."

"Use this treasure to enhance the feng shui formation, suppress the strangeness emanating from him, and cause the mastermind behind him to reveal themselves."

'

After Ganesha bestowed the Six Desires, the flames on the altar gradually died out.

"Yes, my lord."

The head dealer respectfully saw off Ganesha. He picked up the "Six Desires Stomach Rope" in front of him and saw the barbs on it. Suddenly, a different kind of desire arose in his heart.

He took off his shirt, revealing a body covered in knife and axe scars beneath the ornate garments. Believers please the gods through asceticism, and the simplest form of asceticism is self-mutilation.

[The Six Desires and Stomach Cords] Before it could even entice the desires of others, it had already enticed the restless desires of the head dealer.

Snapped.

The whip lashed against the flesh, making a crisp sound, and there were six lashes at once. Each lash left six blood-like wounds.

The head croupier, Su Motan, found endless joy in this, believing that only asceticism could give meaning to life!
