I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Gu Tinglan sensed a conspiracy, but she couldn't leave.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn today.

A kitten appeared in front of the fish tank.

The three people in the fish tank woke up at the same time and looked at the dark clouds.

"That fox spirit is so extravagant, willing to use the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to imprison two useless people."

Gu Tinglan: "..."

Am I wrong for being bad at the game?

They're already locked up, and now they're being humiliated?

"Who are you?"

Lan Yu sensed something was wrong. Even though Yan Qingqiu had locked her up, she didn't hold a grudge against her. On the contrary, she felt a bit grateful.

Because of the water-based laws inherent in the Dinghai Pearl, she reaped considerable benefits.

They were indeed imprisoned, but Yan Qingqiu treated them fairly well, allowing them to cultivate in peace here.

But this suddenly appearing black cat was different.

Their origins are unknown, and they seem to harbor ill intentions.

Wait, it's talking about two useless people, so what about the third one?

Chapter 591 Gu Tinglan's Fortuitous Encounter

What Wu Yun said actually made everyone present a little nervous.

Two are useless, one is useful.

If you categorize it as useless, you might get killed.

Even if it's considered useful, it might still be exploited by others.

Neither way can bring a good outcome, so...

Just lie down, panicking won't help anyway.

Knowing their thoughts, Wu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic, I won't kill you, I'll just send you to where you're supposed to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a captivating light flashed in Wuyun's pupils. The three people in the fish tank immediately felt as if they were in a whirlpool. After a whirlwind, the three of them fell onto an island.

They didn't know where they were, but they felt extremely uncomfortable in the atmosphere around them.

This place is definitely not a good place.

The three of them steadied themselves, opened their eyes, and looked around. They were no longer in the imperial palace. The fish tank was gone, and the cat was no longer there.

Looking up at the sky, it was a gloomy, overcast sky.

The surrounding area was filled with dense, lingering yin energy and resentment that had almost materialized. Judging from this scene, it seemed to be something other than the human world.

"This is where?"

Lan Yu was the first to ask. She disliked the atmosphere here and couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she wanted to ask Jueying, who had more experience.

Jueying carefully sensed the surroundings before solemnly saying, "This place is filled with eerie yin energy, and the resentment is so palpable that you can hear ghosts wailing.

If I'm not mistaken, this is likely the Abyss of Exile in the underworld.

Upon hearing this, Gu Tinglan was immediately horrified.

The infamous Abyss of Exile is renowned even in the Immortal Realm. It is a place where the resentment of all living beings converges. Simply put, it is equivalent to the world's sewers and cesspools.

Even a deity who falls into it won't die, but he'll still feel disgusted.

Did the black cat bring them here on purpose to cause trouble?

Both Jueying and Lanyu's faces darkened.

Gu Tinglan, however, felt something in her heart and vaguely understood some of the true meaning of Buddhism.

She came to the human world to gain experience and to find her own path.

During her time on Earth, she made some gains, but didn't achieve any major breakthroughs.

However, during her imprisonment and the moments when her life was threatened, she had a vague feeling about it.

The Buddha said that all sentient beings suffer, but where does this suffering come from?

Perhaps, this is similar to her lack of freedom.

She was trapped by Yan Qingqiu using a divine artifact, but what about all the other living beings in the world?

They all carry an invisible shackle, like ordinary people burdened by the daily struggle to fill their stomachs, like royalty burdened by fame and fortune, and like cultivators burdened by the Great Dao.

Even someone as powerful as Lin Yi has many invisible shackles on his body.

All living beings in the world, regardless of their status or strength, are more or less restricted by some invisible shackles.

Therefore, all living beings suffer.

Gu Tinglan saw the shackles, but didn't know how to break them.

Now, he has been sent to this filthy place, not far from the gods, yet flashes of inspiration keep appearing, but they are hard to grasp.

She had a vague feeling that this place was connected to her, so she began to search around.

Seeing her strange behavior, Jueying and Lanyu couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Before she was imprisoned, the two had already planned to get rid of her, and now...

Jueying's stance was to kill, but Lanyu hesitated.

They were, after all, fellow prisoners, and Gu Tinglan didn't seem like a bad person.

Killing her without any reason would also be inappropriate.

"hold on."

After a careful discussion, the two decided to observe the situation first.

Although Gu Tinglan was a god or Buddha incarnate, she couldn't possibly regain all her strength in one go.

She is just an ordinary person now.

Jueying felt that Lan Yu's words made sense, so he temporarily suppressed his murderous intent.

The two watched Gu Tinglan wander around, since they were clueless at the moment and might as well see what tricks she would play.

To be honest, Gu Tinglan's wandering around actually led her to discover something.

In a place filled with resentment and filth, there is a small patch of pure land that still exudes a faint Buddhist light.

This must be her destiny!

Gu Tinglan ran over excitedly. It was an open space several meters in circumference, filled with Buddhist light, which prevented the eerie resentment from getting close.

Upon stepping onto that pure land, Gu Tinglan heard the sound of chanting scriptures.

"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the Perfection of Wisdom..."

The very first sentence of the scripture struck Gu Tinglan like a thunderbolt.

There is indeed a Buddhist opportunity here, and a true scripture has appeared in the world here. Therefore, there are still extraordinary phenomena here. People who come to this pure land can hear the sound of chanting scriptures.

but……

Why is the first sentence about Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva?

If an Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva attained enlightenment and created scriptures here, leaving behind an opportunity, then who am I?

At this moment, Gu Tinglan began to suspect that she was a fake.

But as the chanting entered her ears, Gu Tinglan felt as if the clouds had parted and the moon was shining through, and the insights she had gained over the past few days instantly became clear.

Form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

By understanding the relationship between form and emptiness, one can break free from shackles and escape the sea of ​​suffering.

"Amitabha……"

Gu Tinglan sat cross-legged, clasped her hands together, and entered a state of emptiness and clarity.

Beneath her, a lotus platform appeared out of thin air, and the Buddha light that was originally present in this pure land suddenly shone brightly, spreading out in all directions.

Jueying and Lanyu were immediately dumbfounded.

They all sensed Gu Tinglan's aura steadily rising, from mortal to immortal to revered...

Such a drastic change in just a short time left both of them stunned.

Lan Yu was also filled with regret. They had thought they could easily kill Gu Tinglan, but they never expected that she would suddenly gain their divine power.

It's too late to take action now.

On the lotus platform, Gu Tinglan continuously chanted the true scriptures, and many of her experiences and observations throughout her life surfaced in her mind.

She witnessed the annihilation of an old minister who devoted himself to the cause, the starvation and cold of the people, the brutal slaughter during wartime, and the powerful who relied on their strength to regard ordinary people as ants...

But it was in this Abyss of Exile that she gained her deepest insights.

If it weren't for the suffering of the world, how could the Abyss of Exile have accumulated so much filth and resentment?

“In the past, I practiced cultivation in order to seek freedom, hence the name Guan Zizai (Observer of Freedom). Today I realize the true meaning of the Great Way: freedom cannot be obtained by seeking something, nor can freedom be obtained by seeking nothing.”

Only by seeking the freedom of all beings can one attain the freedom of one's true self.

Lan Yu and Jueying were both numb. Gu Tinglan was still speaking human language, but they couldn't understand her no matter how long they listened.

But they knew that Gu Tinglan had now attained enlightenment and her strength could completely overwhelm them; they were no longer her match.

However, Gu Tinglan did not dwell on past grievances. She simply looked at them and said calmly, "In the past, I was Guanyin Bodhisattva. From today onwards, I am Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Listen to the voices of humanity, relieve suffering and distress, and deliver all sentient beings from suffering.

The sound wasn't loud, but it traveled a long way.

Gu Tinglan's voice can be heard in the underworld, the mortal realm, and the celestial realm.

However, only some spiritual beings in the mortal world can hear it; most mortals are ignorant of their five senses and naturally cannot hear Gu Tinglan's grand vow.
