Guan Yan was referring to the Forest Ocean Origin World during the Age of Darkness.
And the flower of bliss he was referring to was obviously Little Trouble.
"All living beings are free from suffering, but they enjoy all kinds of bliss. Hence the name bliss."
Bliss was the goal of many Buddhas.
But for Guan Yan, he had already found his "bliss" in the Forest Ocean Origin World.
It was at this moment that Jiang Wang realized that Guan Yan had the opportunity to leave the Forest Ocean Origin World, but he was unwilling to do so.
He had asked Jiang Wang to return his monk robes to Xuankong Temple so that he could bid farewell to his faith and his deceased master.
Only then would he be able to abandon Buddhism and leave. He would no longer need to follow the precepts, and he would be able to love what he loved.
The last wisp of his snow-white monk robes burned away in the air, and Guan Yan's voice faded away.
Jiang Wang bowed, then straightened up and bid farewell to the monks of Xuankong Temple. "Mortals don't dare to stay in a Buddhist land of tranquility for too long. Now that this matter is settled, Jiang Wang will take his leave first. "
"I'll have to trouble you with Master Guan Yan," Abbot Ku Ming said. "Please wait for a moment. I'll send someone to fetch some Buddhist karmic ties."
The so-called "Buddhist karmic ties" were just a polite way of saying thanks.
Actually, even if Ku Jue hadn't fought for them, a sect like Xuankong Temple wouldn't have let Jiang Wang leave empty-handed. Of course, the level of "Buddhist karmic ties" would still be adjusted.
Xuankong Temple was a large sect, and Ku Jue had fought for them. The "Buddhist karmic ties" that Abbot Ku Ming had sent someone to fetch were definitely worth a lot.
However, Jiang Wang still refused. "Senior Guan Yan is someone I respect greatly. He's willing to trust me, and I'm willing to do what I can for him. There's no need for any reward. Moreover, the monk robes have already burned away, so this matter has nothing to do with your esteemed temple. I wouldn't have taken them before, and I definitely won't take them now. "
Guan Yan's robes had burned away, indicating that his karmic ties with Xuankong Temple had come to an end.
Since Jiang Wang had pointed this out, Ku Ming naturally had no reason to force him to give a gift. However, he couldn't help but raise his evaluation of this youth a bit.
"Xuankong Temple will remember your kindness." Ku Ming raised his palm and chanted, "Namo Shakyamuni Buddha."
Jiang Wang bowed again and then turned to leave.
As soon as his feet moved, Ku Jue immediately squeezed in front of him, his face full of smiles. "Master will send you off."
Jiang Wang couldn't refuse. Even if he refused, it would be useless. He could only say politely, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."
Ku Jue stubbornly claimed to be his master. Jiang Wang tirelessly distanced himself from Ku Jue and repeatedly called him Great Master to clarify their relationship. He refused to let Ku Jue do as he pleased. In terms of persistence, it was hard to tell who was better.
After Ku Jue and Jiang Wang left, Monk Jingli naturally followed after them.
An abbot and two first seats of the Xuankong Temple were still in front of the Tower of Dingyu.
After a moment of silence, the head of the Guan Shi Hall, Ku Di, spoke first, "Guan Yan has betrayed the sect. How to deal with this matter, there needs to be a set of rules."
"There's only a bit of True Spirit left. What else can we do?" The head of the Dragon Subduing Institute, Kubing, 'shouted'.
It was obvious that he was trying his best to keep his voice down, but it was still deafening.
Fortunately, everyone was already used to it.
"I don't think so." Ku Di shook his head. "How can a bit of True Spirit communicate with others? How can he ask others to do things? Moreover, he can project power from the Alioth Starfield. "
Ku Ming spoke at this time, "I see that Benefactor Jiang is sincere. He's not lying."
"Perhaps he's not lying. But with his cultivation, can he see the truth? "Ku Di asked in return.
Kubing said loudly, "He's been lost in the secret realm for five hundred years. He can completely not let us know that he's still alive. He even asked someone to return his monk robes and bid farewell to the sect. It's enough to see his feelings for the sect. "
"That's his matter. It's also his choice." Ku Di was unmoved. "I only know that this is the sect's rule. No one can overstep it. His path of cultivation has been a resource of the Xuankong Temple. All of his extraordinary fortunes have been given to him by the Xuankong Temple. How can he easily leave the sect just because he says' I will never become a Buddha in this life '? "
Ku Bing did not have any discontent. He knew that Ku Di was such an old-fashioned person. Also, he had nothing to say when the sect's rules were brought up. Therefore, he only asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Find him first. If he really only has a bit of True Spirit left, then the pain he suffered will be enough. The Xuankong Temple will not pursue the matter. If not, then we have to at least destroy everything he has learned and force him back from the Transcendent Realm so that the secret techniques of the Xuankong Temple will not be spread. "Ku Di's expression was serious. There was no room for negotiation.
Ku Bing had to admit that while he might have been strict, he was upholding the sect's rules.
At this time, an eyebrow-less monk seemed to appear out of thin air and landed behind them.
"Five hundred years of teaching, is it not enough to repay this master's kindness?"
Ku Bing hurriedly turned around. With the dignity of the abbot, he still bowed first. "Why have you come?"
"The presence of an old friend has activated the zen ji."
The eyebrow-less monk had a ferocious face but his voice was very gentle. "The matter of Guan Yan will end here."
"Zen Master Zhi Xie." Ku Di still did not change his tone. "I am only following the sect's rules."
This eyebrow-less monk was a senior monk of the "Zhi" generation. He was one generation older than Guan Yan and five generations older than Ku Di and the others. No wonder even Ku Ming had to bow first.
But seniority was seniority. As the current head of the Guanshi Hall of the Xuankong Temple, Ku Di did not have to go against his wishes.
The eyebrow-less Zen Master Zhi Xie sighed. "Guan Yan was the disciple of Zhi Xiang. Among all the disciples of the "Guanshi" generation, he was the youngest and the youngest. He was the youngest apprentice brother of all the "Guanshi" generation disciples. "
"When Zhi Xiang died, he asked Zhi Xiu to take care of him. Then Zhi Xiu died. It was the abbot … "
As the eyebrow-less monk said this, he looked apologetically at Ku Ming and changed his tone. "It was Senior Apprentice Brother Zhi Nian who took care of him personally."
The Senior Apprentice Brother Zhi Xie mentioned was naturally the abbot of the Xuankong Temple at that time.
He had passed away long ago. His golden body was in the pagoda forest.
Ku Di frowned and said, "The sect loves him so much. He should be even more loyal."
"Senior Apprentice Brother Zhi Nian wanted him to be the next abbot. Unfortunately, he was lost in the secret realm and was never heard from again. I didn't expect to hear from him after so long. "
Zen Master Zhi Xie shook his head. "Among all the Bodhisattvas I have seen, his comprehension is the best. Unfortunately … "
"Since he is so good, we can't just let him go like this!"
Ku Di was really dissatisfied. Rules were rules. Zen Master Zhi Xie was of high seniority and was worthy of respect. However, as the head of the Guanshi Hall, he was talking about rules here. He kept reminiscing about the past, which was really unpleasant.
To put it nicely, he was just a chatterbox. To put it bluntly, he was taking advantage of his seniority!
Zen Master Zhi Xie looked at him and smiled bitterly. "There have been so many heads of the Guanshi Hall, but they all seem to be carved from the same mold. They are all old-fashioned. When I look at you, I feel like I am still in the past. "
