PFC Chapter 824 The Summit of the Holy Mountain
Chapter 824 The Summit of the Holy Mountain
Was the memory deliberately erased?
It's so mysterious!
The amount of information revealed in Wang Chen's words at this moment was so enormous that Lin Que's pale face was filled with shock!
Leaving aside the secrets of the ancestor of the Great Thousand Buddha Realms and the existence of the Reincarnation Underworld, the supreme merit golden light and the mysterious person alone are already astonishing enough.
Lin Que even began to suspect that this might be some kind of earth-shattering scheme orchestrated by some terrifying powerhouse!
"I just didn't expect that after nine reincarnations, the supreme merit golden light that had been re-condensed would be lost once again." Wang Chen looked up at the increasingly approaching summit of the holy mountain, his words filled with a hint of regret.
However, I have no regrets.
Upon hearing this, Lin Que fell silent once again...
He already knew the price Wang Chen paid for the transaction he made with the will of the Origin Realm.
At this moment, Wang Chen turned around and looked down at the Lotus Buddha Kingdom and the land beneath the Holy Mountain. A trace of longing flashed in his pure and flawless eyes.
Seeing Wang Chen's appearance, and considering the vague unease he had felt earlier, Lin Que, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"So... you're going to have to go through the so-called nine reincarnations all over again?"
No wonder I had a premonition that Wang Chen was going to leave; it seems it was because of the premonition from the Taiqing Chaos Technique.
But what Wang Chen said next surprised Lin Que!
“No!” Wang Chen shook his head and slowly said, “Half a month ago, this humble monk sensed the will from the Great Thousand Buddha Realm, which can also be called the will of the Buddha.”
"Let this humble monk return to the Great Thousand Buddha Realm."
"It's just that I delayed for half a month to wait for Benefactor Lin's arrival, but now it's time for me to leave."
"Fortunately... this humble monk was finally able to see Benefactor Lin one last time."
After saying this, Wang Chen looked at Lin Que and smiled with relief!
However, this smile made Lin Que feel inexplicably uncomfortable!
His mind kept replaying all the things he had done with the little bald boy, from the first time he was saved to the subsequent journey with the phantom demon. The little bald boy was always so pure and kind.
Memories still flickered, but the words slipped out: "What will happen to the Lotus Buddha Kingdom after you leave?"
"Are we destined to remain ownerless forever?"
"Also, now that you've given up the nine lifetimes of reincarnation to atone for your sins, what will happen to you, little bald head, after you return to the Great Thousand Buddha Realm?"
Will I ever have the chance to see you again?
Upon hearing this, Wang Chen's face lit up with joy: "I'm so glad to hear you call me 'Little Baldy' again, Benefactor Lin. I really like it."
"As for the first question asked by Benefactor Lin, this humble monk can answer it."
"After I leave the Lotus Buddha Kingdom, at some point in the future, the will of the Ancestor of the Great Thousand Buddha Realms will descend again, which means that a new Buddha will appear."
"But that certainly wouldn't be me, this humble monk."
"As for the next two questions... to be honest, I don't know either."
Upon hearing this, Lin Que fell silent once more...
After bestowing the supreme merit and golden light upon others for the first time, one needs to undergo nine lifetimes of reincarnation to atone for the sin. Therefore, the punishment for the second mistake will certainly not be lighter than the first.
Although Lin Que really wanted to ask Wang Chen if he could stay, he knew it was impossible. After all, it was the will of the Ancestor of the Great Thousand Buddha Realm. Only if his strength surpassed that of the Ancestor of the Great Thousand Buddha Realm could he forcibly keep Wang Chen.
But obviously, this is a huge joke for Lin Que right now.
The two walked side by side without saying a word.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Lin Que could no longer take another step, he knew that the end was near.
However, when Lin Que looked up, the scene in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a hazy halo, making it impossible to see what was inside.
But Lin Que understood that inside was the path to the Great Thousand Buddha Realm!
"Alright, Benefactor Lin, please accompany me here. I will proceed on my own from now on."
Looking at the hazy halo in front of him, Wang Chen slowly spoke, then took off his white cassock, folded it neatly, and handed it to Lin Que.
After receiving the cassock, Lin Que looked at Wang Chen with a puzzled expression.
Seeing this, Wang Chen smiled gently and said, "The Buddha of every Buddhist kingdom wears a white robe, which represents purity and innocence, and also represents the supreme will of the ancestor of the Buddhist realm, who is free from the six desires and is flawless and pure."
"But now, this humble monk has given away or traded that supreme merit and golden light for his own selfish reasons, which has already tainted this flawless and pure place with dust."
"Therefore, this humble monk is no longer worthy to wear this robe, so I entrust it to Benefactor Lin. I hope that when the new Buddha of the Lotus Buddha Kingdom appears in the future, you can hand it over to him."
After saying this, Wang Chen walked towards the hazy halo atop the sacred mountain.
Lin Que looked down at the white cassock in his hands, and murmured to himself...
"Pure and unblemished..."
"If the ancestor of the Great Thousand Buddha Realms is truly pure and undefiled, then why is he punishing you for the loss of that supreme golden light of merit?"
"Isn't this also one of the six desires?"
These words caused Wang Chen's body to tremble, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his pure, affectionate eyes!
Unfortunately, Lin Que behind him couldn't see it.
He could only watch Wang Chen's retreating figure disappear step by step into the hazy halo of light.
And so, Lin Que stood atop the sacred mountain, holding the white cassock in his hands, until the wind and snow were about to bury his body before he came to his senses and turned to walk down the mountain.
But the next moment!
boom!
A beam of light burst forth from the hazy halo, tearing the entire void apart in an instant!
The Buddha's light dispelled the hazy glow, finally allowing Lin Que to see the view from the summit of the sacred mountain!
There sat Wangchen, the bald boy, on the mountaintop, his eyes closed, chanting Buddhist mantras...
The melodious Buddhist chants emanated from the summit of the sacred mountain, instantly spreading throughout the entire Lotus Buddha Kingdom, and even the entire Netherworld Sea and the Sealed Heaven Continent!
Within the Lotus Buddha Kingdom, countless monks and abbots knelt and bowed in the direction of the sacred mountain, while countless people chanted Buddhist mantras in unison.
This scene astonished Qingling Liu Qingyi and Qi Lianyue, who were guests at Lotus Temple. They all looked up at the void above the Holy Mountain and were immediately shocked!
"The sky has actually cracked!"
"What... happened...?"
