Yinshan Record

Chapter 752 People's hearts are simple, kind, and generous.
Unexpectedly, this place turned out to be a void controlled by Buddhism.

The doctrines of Buddhism differ from those of Taoism, not only in their strictness and ease of entry but also in their fervor for the transmission of the Dharma.

The path to true immortality in Taoism is inherently about the pursuit of longevity and transcendence. In contrast, the fundamental aim of Buddhism is to spread its teachings.

This is the difference between the two in terms of "transcending life" and "saving all living beings".

Given this difference, the Buddhist explorations in the depths of the endless void have become more human-made.

This also gave rise to the term "three thousand great worlds".

The world Su Che previously inhabited was considered a small chiliocosm within Buddhism. A thousand such small chiliocosms combined constitute a medium chiliocosm. A thousand medium chiliocosms combined are called a great chiliocosm.

The lands completely controlled by Buddhism are called "Buddha-fields," which consist of as many as three thousand great chiliocosms, or millions of heavens and earth.

The figure of three thousand is just a figure of speech; the actual number is likely much higher.

In addition, there are other races such as the so-called "Eight Gods and Demons," who roam between heaven and earth, forming their own unique ecosystem.

This made Su Che feel that the chances of returning to the original world were getting greater and greater.

Although the Buddhist system does not share a common primordial demon lord like the Heavenly Demons, and each sect has its own lineage under the Lord of the End of Dharma, they are deeply connected with each other, unlike the Xuanmen sect which is often seen as a free and unfettered place.

As long as we follow the clues, we will surely find a way to return to the original world.

With this thought in mind, Su Che calmed down.

The power of this starship comes from some mysterious Buddhist supernatural power, which Su Che is slowly trying to understand. However, judging from the laws of creation, it seems that as long as the passengers recite the incantation with their hearts, a magical power will appear out of nowhere and drive the starship forward.

This is somewhat similar to the methods of the Divine Lord.

Although Su Che can be considered a "Buddha's disciple" who has received the "prediction of Buddha's head," his understanding of Buddhist supernatural powers is still at a relatively superficial level. He needs further comprehension of the internal principles, the structure of the supernatural powers, and their arrangement within the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man.

However, what happened on the ship made Su Che feel a little strange.

Aside from the monkeys used as slaves, there were only four people left on the ship who could be considered human.

Mahoraga, with her serpentine body, was an ugly female.

The lion-headed Rakshasa with four arms seems to have some inexplicable relationship with Mahoraga.

In addition, there is Kinnara, who has a horse's head and a human body, and Gandharva, who is a beautiful woman.

Su Che remained hidden inside the cabin, but his divine sense was as bright as the sun shining high above the others in the star raft.

Upon closer inspection, some trouble indeed came to light.

Kinnara and Gandharva were there, leading the monkeys in silent chanting in the clean room.

Namo Huraka and Rakshasa quietly left their original clean room and found a storeroom, where they embraced tightly.

It's really an eyesore.

Su Che initially didn't want to get involved with the two of them anymore, but after they argued for a while, they started discussing things.

"We're still four days away from Azure-Eyed Cloud City. Let's get the horse head and Fragrant Woman ready as soon as possible."

Mahoraga cradled the lion-headed Rakshasa's face in his scaly hands, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"Did you cook them the same way as the previous ones?"

The lion-headed Rakshasa looked troubled.

"If we ruin our reputation, it will be difficult to recruit people in the future."

The giant snake woman countered with a question.

"You haven't taken a fancy to that old woman with the fragrant scent, have you?"

"She definitely didn't."

The Lion-Headed Rakshasa shook his head and said, "It doesn't even have a real body. It can't withstand any fuss."

"What cat doesn't steal fish?"

Mahoraga reached out his large hand and patted his face.

"Don't worry, once this job is done, our good deeds will be enough, and I can be reincarnated. Whether I become a Raksha, Yaksha, or Kinnara, I can satisfy you in the future, so that you won't lose interest when you see my cold body."

"no need."

The lion-headed Rakshasa shook his head and said, "After spending so much merit, we still have to start all over again. It would be better to accumulate more merit, be reborn as a human, and truly become a disciple. It's much less strenuous than what we're going through now."

"Among the six realms, although the Heavenly Realm is the foremost, in terms of attaining enlightenment, the Human Realm is the easiest."

The Lion-Headed Rakshasa said earnestly, "The good deeds we've accumulated over the years can't be easily reversed. You should first be reborn as a human, and then I'll come." "You rascal, you're so sweet-talking, always trying to make me happy."

The snake woman hugged his body and rubbed against him again.

Good deeds? Rebirth?
Su Che was somewhat bewildered.

Buddhist teachings include the concept of the Six Realms of Rebirth, which divides all sentient beings into six realms: gods, humans, asuras, hungry ghosts, animals, and hell beings.

Could it be that these eight kinds of ghosts and gods from the outer void can be reincarnated at will according to the amount of good deeds they have done?
That's interesting.

However, according to the Six Paths, the Heavenly Path is the most noble, ranking first among the three good paths, and is born with power and divine abilities. But this snake woman, who is clearly a Heavenly Path person, wants to turn into a human.

Perhaps this contains the mysteries of Buddhism.

Thinking of this, Su Che observed even more carefully.

The lion-headed Rakshasa comforted the snake woman and coaxed her to sleep, then turned and walked towards another storeroom.

He was a large man, and the star raft was rather cramped, so he could only crawl on the ground. He turned left and right until he finally arrived at his destination. He looked around to make sure no one was there before pushing the door open and going in.

"You rascal, you've gone to coax that snake again?"

A unique fragrance wafted out from inside.

"Ah."

The lion-headed Rakshasa, drawn by the subtle fragrance, lay down in the dark cabin, which was so cramped that his feet were sticking out.

"Having smelled my private fragrance is equivalent to having entered my body."

The voice said tactfully, "Are you having fun?"

"It's so exhilarating, even more enjoyable than sleeping with those witches."

"Hmph, you dare to bring it up again."

The Gandharva rolled around on him.

"If you sell that Naga this time, you can buy me a skin, and I'll make sure you're served so well you'll feel like your bones are melting."

"The physical body is too expensive, requires too much merit, and is easily damaged. It's better to save up more for your reincarnation."

"Reincarnation?"

"Yes, I was reborn as a human."

The Lion-Headed Rakshasa chuckled and said, "Among the six realms, it is easiest to attain enlightenment as a human. You should be reborn as a human first, and we will protect you. Once you have attained enlightenment, you can come and guide me."

The Gandharva was delighted to hear this.

"My dear brother, are you just trying to fool me?"

"Why are you trying to coax me? I want to be your wife for a long time."

The Lion-Headed Rakshasa smiled and said, "We'll be returning to port in a few days. Let's join forces and kill that snake."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Su Che smiled slightly.

While these two are all lovey-dovey on one side, on the other side, that horse-faced Kinnara is not exactly a clean freak.

Under the influence of divine sense, the horse-faced fellow was holding a small clean bottle and was constantly playing with it.

He just went into the storage room and switched out the bottle containing the Naga.

At this moment, while preparations were being made quietly, the starship had unknowingly changed direction and drifted off in another direction.

As expected of a Buddhist country, everyone here has their own agenda.

As Su Che watched, a near-mad ape cry rang out from the other side.

Upon hearing the sound, the lion-headed Rakshasa's expression changed, and he quickly scrambled out of the cabin.

"What are you yelling for? Grandpa will tear you beasts to shreds!"

"Brother, something bad has happened! A boat is catching up with us."

Najina shouted.
