Just like that.
Soon his mind again followed the movent of heaven and earth, joining the mortal realm.
This ti, he was born into a farr’s family, but this ti his consciousness entering the world, and the previous life as the ’True Buddha’ reaching Nirvana, only had a gap of three years in between.
This ti, when Chen Mu was born, his hands ford the Reincarnation Seal, exactly the sa as when he reached Nirvana, one hand pointing to the sky, the other to the earth, standing between the cycle of heaven and earth.
Though there were no mystical phenona manifest in heaven and earth.
But for a baby to be born in such a manner, it still amazed the farr’s family, quickly spreading from one to ten, ten to a hundred.
Half a month later.
The nearest temple to the farr’s ho, Lingyin Temple, heard the news, and its Abbott was startled, quickly recalling an event, and imdiately led many monks to personally visit.
The extrely aged Abbott, with slow steps, gradually walked into the farr’s house, bending down to enter the grass hut.
He looked at the worn bed within the hut.
There he saw the infant Chen Mu, lying on the bed, seeming to hear his arrival, sluggishly opened his eyes, casting a glance at him.
Just this single glance caused the over seventy-year-old Abbott to have a mont of haziness.
He seed to travel back ten years prior, venturing to the Fatan Temple, listening to Chen Mu deliver teachings, looking up at Chen Mu at that ti, the gaze he saw on Chen Mu’s face then was identical to the gaze of this infant lying on the bed now.
In that haze, the old Abbott seed to see the infant flash him a slight smile, then heard a voice, though immature and indistinct, he still heard it clearly.
"Du E."
That was his religious na.
The old Abbott’s body trembled, finally reciting a Buddhist chant, his hands clasped together, respectfully performing a disciple’s salute to Chen Mu, saying: "Disciple Du E, welco Upper Soldier."
Three years prior, after Chen Mu reached Nirvana, he had heard Chen Mu’s final words, stating he had already attained immortality, transcending the world, yet he would reenter the cycle of reincarnation to save all beings.
Three years later, he saw Chen Mu’s reincarnated form, unable to suppress the surge in his heart.
Among those cultivating the Buddhist Way, who doesn’t wish to leave suffering, transcend the world, but no one knows exactly how far they’ve co, whether they can truly transcend reincarnation, yet now, soone truly transcending reincarnation has appeared.
Just as Chen Mu said, he had long achieved the Immortal Body, transcending reincarnation, reentering the cycle only to comprehend the essence of all teachings, guiding and saving all beings, this is undoubtedly a great rit, because the world is tribulation, a sea of suffering.
Chen Mu has already reached the other shore, now to return to the sea of suffering.
Du E cultivated Buddhism half his life, unable to suppress the surge in his heart, he respectfully said: "Upper Soldier, this place is harsh and cold, should disciple invite you back to the temple."
"..."
Chen Mu did not open his eyes, only slightly shook his head.
Du E imdiately understood Chen Mu’s intent, clasped his hands together, reciting a Buddhist chant.
Several days later.
The news of the true Buddha’s reincarnation at Fatan Temple spread quickly throughout the area, gradually causing a sensation!
A thousand miles around, monks from various temples heard, in shock, regardless of their status or position, all set out for Chen Mu’s reincarnated location, not only the monks, but many notable figures heard, were all shaken.
The previous two generations of Emperors believed in Buddhism, fostering the flourishing of the Buddhist Way across the world, and Chen Mu’s na spread throughout, his Nirvana three years prior also propagated widely, many at present deeply believed Chen Mu would reincarnate and appear again, though three years passed with so gradually forgetting.
But now, not to ntion the believers in Buddhism, even those who aren’t, upon hearing the news, found it shocking and doubtful.
In no ti,
the remote village beca trendously lively, thousands of monks, tens of thousands of Buddhist believers flocked from all directions.
Such upheaval of course startled the Imperial Court, not allowing it to go unchecked, the County Magistrate was directly frightened, reporting urgently overnight, the Magistrate too was startled, fearing any eventualities, reporting to the Governor while mobilizing troops, also sent docunts hurriedly to the central governnt in great haste.
After the news reached the central authority.
The whole Imperial Court was startled!
Previously, two generations of Emperors revered Buddhism, honoring Fatan Temple as the National Temple, the status of Chen Mu, the Abbott of the National Temple, was naturally extrely high, even the Pri Minister addressed Chen Mu respectfully as ’Upper Soldier.’
However, most of the current officials do not believe in Buddhism, many elder statesn even advised previous Emperors, now with the reincarnation event, it’s undoubtedly caused them great suspicion, so even spoke against Lingyin Temple’s machinations, suggesting it be punished by the Court.
As for the Emperor,
upon learning the news, he too was greatly suspicious.
He wasn’t very devout in Buddhism, but as his two predecessors were pious, overturning their policies wouldn’t be wise, only trying to manage, yet as he aged, thoughts of immortality gradually arose.
And now, Fatan Temple’s ’Upper Soldier,’ truly capable of reincarnation?
Then the transcendence to the other shore is also true?!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
The accompanying eunuch, seeing the Emperor in a daze, softly called out.
The Emperor shook his head slightly, finally regaining awareness, deeply inhaling, solemnly saying: "Send my decree, invite the True Upper Soldier to the palace... no, I’ll personally go."
