The watermelon was extremely sweet. Perhaps because it was born in this paradise, the juice was filled with joy.
'Egg' could not help but chuckle as he ate. It was as if he had never felt so relaxed and joyful in his life. Suddenly, he felt his face warm and wet. He wiped it and licked it, but it was salty and bitter.
"What is this?"
He blinked his eyes. His green eyes were like the mouth of a spring. The salty and bitter liquid on his face increased, unable to be stopped.
Perhaps because he was not born in this paradise and was soaked in pain, he could only produce this bitter liquid.
His chest felt heavy, as if something was on the verge of bursting out. His small face scrunched up as he let out a low growl that seemed human yet inhuman.
Rings of green light surged out. The plants grew madly, tangling with each other and killing each other.
He was like an ostrich, burying his head into the melon skin. After a long time, it finally calmed down. The plants had all withered.
He raised his head slowly, revealing an innocent smile again.
His green eyes were no longer scarlet.
The old couple were shocked, unsure of what had happened.
The man called 'Li Qingshan' had used the phoenix's nirvāṇa, when he was at his weakest, to seal everything with the spirit turtle, preventing his cultivation from regressing. He was like a turtle withdrawing its head into its shell to avoid the invasion of the outside world.
However, he knew very well that this was only a temporary measure. The spirit turtle was good at defending, but not only was this fragile defense being corroded by the paradise, it was also being questioned by himself.
He would eventually ask: Who am I?
And Just Now, the 'Qilin Transformation' that had stagnated for so long had actually advanced a level without him realizing it. Perhaps this world was suitable for the cultivation of the Qilin Transformation, or perhaps he had unintentionally agreed with the principle of letting nature take its course.
Anyway, his cultivation did not decline, but instead increased, tearing a crack in the fragile turtle shell.
Those memories filled with blood, slaughter, pain, and despair, even if it was just a sliver, were already not something the current 'Egg' could endure.
Compared to the ease and joy he felt right now, the words' beyond the Nine Heavens' were far too heavy and vague.
The sealed memories would eventually recover. At that time, would he still be willing to endure the pain?
In the blink of an eye, Eggsheng was already one month old. The old couple invited all the families within a radius of ten miles and held a banquet in a wheat field.
Of course, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss abided by all the Buddhist precepts. Alcohol, meat, and fish were not to be touched. What they drank was only tea and fruit juice.
However, as the saying goes, "It's not the tea that intoxicates you, but the tea that intoxicates you." Amidst the rich fragrance of the flowers, under the warm blazing sun, everyone's faces were suffused with a red glow, and their laughter did not stop for a single moment.
In the middle of the threshing field was a square table with a rattan chair on it. The main character of this gathering, Eggsheng, was sitting high on the rattan chair to ensure that everyone could see him.
He looked to be about eight or nine years old. He wore a tiger-head hat and tiger-head shoes, and a silver safety lock hung around his neck. However, he was the only one who wasn't smiling. His eyes were half closed, and he was dozing off.
The cracks continued to expand, and the memories of the past continuously seeped in, turning into nightmares.
Sometimes he would dream of being forced to work, being exposed to the scorching sun, his whole body aching. Sometimes he would dream of carrying a corpse and climbing an iceberg with difficulty.
The most terrifying were those dreams where he was being hunted. The enemies were all different. There was an ugly and malicious old woman, a cold and confident swordsman, and a ferocious black dragon. Every time he was forced into a desperate situation, he would wake up from the nightmare.
Thus, he tried his best to stay awake, and only took a short nap when he couldn't take it anymore.
Fortunately, when he was awake, he was still relatively happy, and he also liked this kind of liveliness.
The threshing field was full of joy. Even though he could be seen just by raising his head, he was still surrounded by people. There were three layers inside and three layers outside, and all of them were clicking their tongues in wonder.
Among the various Buddhist precepts, the prohibition of lust was far more serious than the prohibition of alcohol. However, "eating, drinking, and sex are the great desires of man", and it was very difficult to overcome.
But in this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, it was not a problem at all. Everyone had no desire for lust, even husband and wife could not do it, so it was rare for newborns to be born.
If it was in an ordinary world, to grow this big in a month, one would probably be treated as a monster. But in this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, no one thought so. Everyone's heart was filled with kindness, and they were sincerely happy for the old couple. They looked at "Eggsheng" as if they were looking at their own children.
"Eggsheng" was infected by this atmosphere, and he could not help but smile.
"Eggsheng, show them what you've got!" Old Man Ruan shouted.
"Okay!"
"Eggsheng" responded and jumped up, somersaulted, and firmly stepped on the back of the chair. He put on a posture of "Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg", and shouted, "Grow! Grow! Grow! "
Clusters of wheat sprouts broke through the soil, and in the blink of an eye, the threshing field became a golden wheat field.
Amidst the exclamations, someone said, "It's amazing. As expected of the child bestowed by Buddha. Brother Ruan, you should go to the temple to fulfill your vows."
Old Man Ruan touched his head, "This … I haven't had the time!"
"There's no time like the present. Let's go now. Everyone, let's go together!"
The crowd cheered loudly, lifted the table as if carrying a palanquin, and walked majestically to the temple.
This side of the world was full of temples. In less than two hours, they arrived in front of a solemn, simple, and ancient temple.
The reception monk welcomed them into the temple and invited the abbot.
Everyone talked at once, and the abbot was also surprised and a little suspicious. Unlike these "ordinary people" who only knew how to recite Buddhist scriptures, he was a serious Buddhist. Even "Guanyin Sending Children" was a common saying, let alone "Buddha Sending Children".
Therefore, he used "Heavenly Eye" to take a closer look at "Eggsheng", and could not help but be surprised. He quickly lifted his kasaya and bowed deeply to "Eggsheng".
"Amitabha, I didn't know it was Divine General Jialan. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
What he saw was no longer a child, but a golden, tall, and majestic god.
No matter how suitable the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was for Buddhists to cultivate, it was still rare for one to survive six Heavenly Tribulations.
Divine General Jialan was already a righteous Buddhist god. Although his official position was not high, he had entered the ranks of gods and could be worshiped by believers.
Even if he was reborn and his memories were sealed, his godhood would still exist.
In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, monks had an extremely high status. Hearing that it was "Divine General Jialan", everyone hurriedly bowed down. Even the old couple did not dare to not bow.
"Eggsheng" jumped into the crowd and helped them up. He widened his eyes and questioned the abbot, "You baldy, why are you talking about blue and green? Get up, don't bow to me! "
The abbot was shocked. Could it be that this Divine General was unwilling to reveal his identity?
At this moment, a magnificent voice came from outside the temple. "Amitabha! Long time no see, General Li. "
A monk holding a monk staff, wearing a bamboo hat, and an old kasaya walked into the temple. "Eggsheng" felt inexplicably anxious. "Who are you? You also call me a general? What General Li? Why not General Watermelon? "
