Chapter 33: Master, I've Awakened!

chewing for two bites, Dongfang Su's eyes lit up."Delicious!"As emperor, he had eaten countless delicacies and was already tired of them.But this hot pot, gave Dongfang Su an unprecedented taste.This...Ye Qingyun didn't see the Buddha phantom behind him.

He saw that Song Xiaoteng was actually kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped, looking devout. He even thought that Song Xiaoteng believed in Buddhism.

If you believe in Buddha, then it's easy.

"Watch me persuade you both, father and son."

Ye Qingyun's mind was at peace.

"Song Xiaottian, Song Chenglong, you father and son have done countless evil deeds, accumulating many wicked consequences. These consequences will eventually be repaid on your heads."

Ye Qingyun tried his best to put on a Buddha-like expression.

He imagined the appearance of those Buddhist monks and tried his best to imitate them.

Perhaps because of this, the Buddha shadow behind Ye Qingyun became increasingly solid.

Even the Buddha's phantom image began to resemble Ye Qingyun somewhat.

This even left the Song father and son speechless.

"This is actually a high monk from the Buddhist sect!"

Both father and son were deeply moved.

Buddhist monks are a very mysterious existence.

Although there were Buddhist temples within the Tianwu Dynasty, Buddhism did not hold sway.

It is said that in the western region beyond the Nanhuang, Buddhism flourished.

There was even a Buddhist kingdom where everyone believed in the Monk Buddha, and the status of those in the monastery was extremely high.

The Song family father and son never expected that this Ye Qingyun was also a Buddhist.

And looking at it, it is definitely a profound existence that is difficult to fathom even within Buddhism.

For a time, the father and son were filled with remorse.

If I had known they were this capable, I wouldn't have messed with them.

"Sir, my son and I...we haven't really done that many bad things."

Song Xiaotien said vaguely.

Ye Qingyun shook his head.

"Buddha is everywhere, whatever you did, or didn't do, the Buddha sees it all, nothing escapes the eyes of the Buddha."

Before the words left his mouth, Ye Qingyun's Buddha phantom behind him suddenly blazed with light in his eyes, instantly illuminating the Song father and son.

The Song family, father and son, trembled with fear.

Under the Buddha's gaze, the father and son felt their hearts and minds seemed to be purified.

All their past deeds were brought vividly to mind.

The evil deeds committed are all incredibly clear, one by one.

The father and son were pale with fear.

This is when they truly realized how many bad things they had done in the past.

Both were ashamed and bowed their heads deeply.

And Ye Qingyun had a strange look on his face.

"Where did this golden light come from It's so mysterious!"

He turned his head to look, but he couldn't see anything unusual at all.

While everyone else could see the Buddha's apparition, Ye Qingyun himself couldn't.

"Great sir, we father and son know we were wrong!"

"I was wrong, I really was wrong!"

The father and son kowtowed repeatedly to Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun nodded with satisfaction.

"Although you and your son have committed many evil deeds, my Buddha is compassionate. Any person has the opportunity to be forgiven."

From today onwards, you must do more good deeds and have kind thoughts. Then, you will surely be able to eliminate the bad consequences of your past actions as father and son.

Upon hearing this, the Song family father and son...

He was suddenly excited.

As long as they can eliminate the consequences, they are willing to do anything.

Let alone just doing good.

Do you do good deeds

That's not too easy.

"We remembered!"

Song Xiaoteng said.

"I'm not finished yet."

Ye Qingyun continued, "Most importantly, one must recite Buddhist scriptures daily."

"The Buddhist scriptures"

The two father and son looked blankly at each other.

"Master, we don't understand the Buddhist scriptures at all."

Song Xiaodao said.

"Never mind, good sir... I shall send you a Buddhist scripture right now. Remember to recite it three times daily, once in the morning, noon, and evening."

The father and son were overjoyed.

Thank you, Master!

Ye Qingyun hummed in response, then began to recite Buddhist scriptures.

"This Buddhist scripture is named --- The Heart Sutra of Prajāpāramitā."

The father and son both immediately grabbed paper and pens, their faces serious, looking just like students taking notes in class.

"Ahem."

"Thus have I heard: The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, having gone deep into the practice of wisdom and attained full enlightenment, beheld that all five skandhas are empty, and thereby liberated all beings from suffering."

"Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Feeling, thinking, action, consciousness—all are thus."

"Shariputra, all phenomena are empty. They are neither born nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increased nor decreased."

Therefore, in the sky there is no color, no feeling, thought, action, or consciousness...

......

"Gotama, the Truth has been discovered! The truth has been discovered by Gotama. The truth has been discovered about suffering and its cessation: this is the Noble Path of Suffering's Cessation."

A complete "Heart Sutra of Prajāparamita" was recited fluently and smoothly by Ye Qingyun.

When he had finished reciting this Heart Sutra.

The Buddha's phantom behind Ye Qingyun was brighter than ever before.

A brilliant ray of Buddha's light, piercing straight up to the heavens beyond the clouds.

BOOM!!!

This moment.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, anyone who simply raises their head can see this golden spectacle.

For a time, all parties in the Tianwu Dynasty were shaken.

"This is Buddha's light!"

"Such a dense and pure Buddha's light, could it be that a high monk has suddenly attained enlightenment"

"It could even be the reincarnation of Buddha!"

"Go and see what's going on!"

......

For a time, many people came in the direction where the Buddha's light appeared.

This is the time.

Far to the west of the Tianwu Dynasty lies...

Here, is the paradise of Buddhism.

Among outsiders, this place is also known as the Western Paradise.

A temple bustling with incense, glittering with lights, and thronged with people.

Within the monastery's courtyard.

A venerable old monk, who had attained enlightenment after seventy-seven forty-nine years of meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hm Is there Buddha's Qi surging into the sky in the south"

The old monk darted out, his piercing eyes fixed on the south.

Vaguely, he seemed to see the golden Buddha behind Ye Qingyun.

"Master!"

The arrival of the old monk startled many high monks within the temple, who all rushed to greet him.

"Hurry! Send someone to the Nanhuang region, Tianwu Dynasty. My Buddhist son has appeared there!"

"What The Buddhist Holy Son"

All the monks were astonished.

The Sacred Son of Buddhism, that's the person the Western Buddhist sect has been searching for for many years without finding.

Even in the Buddha's Pure Land, only three suspected Buddhist holy sons have appeared, and it is not yet fully confirmed.

Now, the old monk says that the Buddhist Son was born in the Nanyang region outside of the Western Regions

How is this possible

But the monks dared not doubt the old monk's words.

Because this old monk was the highest-ranking monk in Xichan Temple, and one of the most outstanding figures in the entire Western Buddhist world.

His words are the ultimate truth of Buddhism, not to be questioned by anyone.

At once, the monks of Xi Zen Temple set out, heading straight for Nanhua.

It's not just Xichan Temple; many forces within the Buddhist sect in the western regions have also dispatched their disciples, all rushing to the Southern Wilderness.

Just to explore the secret of that ray of Buddha light.

Yet, as the instigator, Ye Qingyun, was completely unaware that his recitation of this Heart Sutra had caused such a stir in the distant Western Frontier.

"Do you remember"

The Song family, father and son, were completely dumbfounded.

They were still immersed in the Heart Sutra that Ye Qingyun had just recited, though they didn't quite understand the meaning behind it.

But just after listening to it once, they felt as if they had already achieved enlightenment.

Life has undergone a tremendous change from this point on.

"Master, I have realized it!"

Father and son both shouted in unison.ing you made, it is the most valuable thing I possess.""Since Master has gifted this painting to an old man, the old man naturally wants to return the favor. Please accept this gift, Master!"Ye Qingyu...
