Otherwise, we would all have to sink into the Incense Fire Divine Realm."
Li Xuan: ???
Xiaojing said: "The immortal said the Buddha killed a demon. That demon’s own power belonged to yang, and the power obtained through reincarnation by monks was yin. That demon reincarnated and escaped from the Incense Fire Divine Realm, carrying the realm’s power with him.
The immortal said that since the beginning of time, yin sinks when turbid, and yang rises when light; yin and yang cannot coexist. One must either become a demon or a monk. To make them compatible, unless... one reverses yin and yang.
Once yin and yang reverse, the flesh and blood of mortals will develop yin veins.
Those monks who have already cultivated qi will turn into demons; demons will fill with yin energy and transform into monks... However, whether monk or demon, their internal power has long been set. Under such an impact, monks will become crazed demons, and demons will become crazed monks...
And reversing yin and yang is a strange power in the Incense Fire Divine Realm.
The immortal said this power is called chaos.
The demon holds chaos within.
"The Buddha killed that demon, and the demon’s yang qi dispersed, yin qi dispersed, but chaos could not be dispersed."
"This chaos originally posed little issue, only affecting a small area. But if it’s in a place where incense faith still exists, there would be big trouble.
Incense worship inherently connects the mortal world and the divine realm.
And in this environment, chaos would expand more and more, enveloping all places, dragging everyone into the divine realm, leaving only an empty nation behind."
"So if Dad knows the Buddha, he should quickly persuade him to extinguish all the incense, or else it’s over."
Li Xuan: ...
He rubbed the little girl’s head, pondering slightly, and said, "You’ve suffered, you and your brother. After catching a chill, Dad isn’t around."
Xiaojing said: "It’s okay. My brother and I caught a chill, but we recovered quickly."
Li Xuan asked: "Then... what kind of person neither catches a chill nor a fever?"
Xiaojing said: "Someone who possesses Chaos Power."
Li Xuan leaned closer, tapping her forehead lightly, and said, "Little liar, don’t think Dad doesn’t know. You didn’t catch a chill at all."
Xiaojing: ...
She forced composure and said: "I did, it just acted slowly. Dad can ask the master. The master can vouch for us. Mom just doesn’t know."
Li Xuan said: "I indeed have a good relationship with the Buddha. I shall go persuade him."
With that, he gently kissed the little girl’s cheek and said, "Thank you."
Xiaojing said: "Then Dad should hurry. If he’s late, it’s over."
...
Li Xuan decided to believe his daughter.
But he also realized this daughter might also be a... great demon of the "Incense Fire Divine Realm reincarnated."
To achieve yin and yang harmony, every great demon seeks reincarnation.
The Bear Demon was.
Then isn’t daughter too?
And that son, perhaps as well.
He had long predicted this, and today Xiaojing’s account about her "Red Flower Mountain encounter with an immortal" resembling a "dream sent by an immortal," made him even surer.
But the daughter?
The daughter coming to ask him "Is the relationship with Buddha good," did she also sense something?
However, the daughter might think "he too is the demon reincarnated from the Incense Fire Divine Realm."
But he as a demon not knowing "Chaos Power," that was indeed too low-level.
Reversing yin and yang to harmonize, this is chaos...
To be reincarnated from demon to monk, is this chaos what they hope to cultivate?
Li Xuan pondered, returned to the mortal realm.
As Buddha incarnate, establishing incense faith was difficult, but destroying it easily.
As for what to eat after destroying it, that needs another plan, if not... just go to the East Sea every day.
...
Xinci Temple, treasure hall, nightfall.
Jing Miao, as usual, prays before the Buddha.
Her heart had already found tranquility, now thinking daily of whether tomorrow the Buddha’s meal would be enough.
Rosary beads gently shifting, amidst extreme silence, a long-suppressed thought quietly sprouted.
"Buddha, is it him?"
While thinking, suddenly a voice came by her ear.
"Jing Miao, announce tomorrow outside that Buddha will travel far and not return, and extinguish all incense. The temple transformed... into a tavern, becoming a place for mountain-water tourism."
Jing Miao: ???
She had long learned to say "yes" to Buddha, but this order was truly too strange.
She fell silent.
Buddha continued: "Jing Miao, just go do it.
After turning into a tavern, you... return to lay life too.
This whole Xinci Temple still belongs to you.
Later, I will command all temples to perform synchronously."
Jing Miao quietly said: "Ten years..."
Buddha Li Xuan knew she referred to "the time since ordination," and at this time laughed: "I think you’ve already found inner tranquility, also found life’s path, you no longer need a Buddha to support your heart.
You can do it yourself.
Many children in Buddha Mother Hall were abandoned orphans, they have closeness to Buddha Mother but also not bad with you.
In the future, they can help you guard this vast legacy."
Jing Miao was silent for a while, suddenly said: "Will they guard the Li family?"
After asking, she immediately said: "Never mind..."
After saying all this, she raised her head, said: "Thank you."
With this word, Li Xuan felt an illusion, as if the woman under the ancient lamp and Buddha was not speaking to the Buddha, but to Li Xuan.
His appearance in her life brought waves to her originally ordinary life, turning the plain into seeming a legend... In the historical records of this land in the future, she is a remarkable woman who can be remembered for centuries.
Ultimately, Jing Miao didn’t ask the final question.
Whether it is or isn’t, does the answer matter anymore?
