I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

They're not here anymore, but I don't want to touch their things, so I'm afraid you'll have to make do with this."

Gu Tinglan: "..."

Is this how you treat me?

Such a big yard and they only gave me a small room?

That's too much!

But since he was currently powerless, he could only endure it for the time being, forcibly suppressing his displeasure, and said, "It's alright, cultivators don't care about such trivial matters."

"I knew you were someone who didn't care about fame or fortune."

Gu Tinglan: "..."

Just because I'm indifferent to fame and fortune, you think you can treat me like this?

I'm so annoyed, but I still have to keep smiling.

"I have no requirements regarding food, clothing, shelter, or transportation. However, I have lost all my magical power and am unable to cultivate the Great Dao. Do you have any solutions?"

Gu Tinglan originally didn't want to dwell on this, but in a fit of anger, she just wanted to cause Lin Yi some trouble.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Isn't your grand ambition to listen to the suffering of the world and save all living beings?"

To truly save all sentient beings, you don't need profound magical powers; what's more important is that you can immerse yourself in the lives of ordinary people and understand their most genuine needs.

At first, Gu Tinglan thought Lin Yi was just trying to brush her off, but after carefully recalling what Lin Yi had said, she suddenly realized.

Indeed, if she wants to be the so-called Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering, but cannot go deep into the masses and understand their most fundamental needs, then this act of saving people from suffering will just be a facade.

Lin Yi's seemingly casual remark was surprisingly rich in meaning.

Gu Tinglan admired him and nodded in agreement.

She planned to go out and explore the local customs and culture of Xingsha City after she had settled in.

Lin Yi had nothing to do at the moment, so he went to the kitchen to cook some food.

Both of them were top-tier immortals, but now they live like mortals.

……

The celestial realm, Mount Ling.

As he watched his decree being burned to ashes, the Buddha's face remained expressionless, showing neither joy nor anger.

He remained dignified and solemn, seated on the lotus throne, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Seeing Gu Tinglan and Lin Yi chatting and laughing peacefully, Buddha remained expressionless.

As Ksitigarbha said, whether it is a calamity or a blessing, it is all up to Lin Yi to decide.

only……

Perhaps the position of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor will need to be filled by someone else.

It might not be entirely a bad thing that Gu Tinglan missed this opportunity.

Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and the cause and effect are unpredictable.

But now that she's getting too close to the world, as the head of Buddhism, he has to make a statement.

“After being reborn, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has achieved success in his cultivation and should have returned to Mount Ling to continue his practice.”

However, he disobeyed the law, lingered in the human world, and indulged in worldly desires, giving rise to the seven emotions.

For his crimes, he should be expelled from Mount Ling and removed from the register. Other crimes should be handed over to the Great Heavenly Venerable for judgment.

The Dharma decree is now proclaimed to Vulture Peak, hoping that all Buddhas will take it as a warning.

As the Buddha's decree spread throughout Mount Ling, all the Buddhas of Mount Ling were immediately shocked.

They had just heard Gu Tinglan's grand vow and knew that she had achieved great success in her cultivation and would surely become one of the four great bodhisattvas in the prophecy.

Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are thinking about how to build a relationship with her, and have even prepared gifts, just waiting for Gu Tinglan to return.

Her opponents, on the other hand, were filled with fear and apprehension, lest they suffer Gu Tinglan's revenge in the future.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Buddha expelled Gu Tinglan from Mount Ling and even removed her from the register.

The ups and downs are happening so fast that it's hard to keep up.

But the decree has already been issued, and all the Buddhas know it; this is certainly true.

Moreover, this matter has already been settled.

Unless Gu Tinglan performs some extraordinary good deeds, she will not be able to return to Buddhism.

Originally, all Buddhists could receive the Buddha's decrees, even if they were not on Mount Ling.

However, Gu Tinglan has been sealed away by Lin Yi, so the outside world cannot receive news from her, and she naturally cannot receive news from the outside world either.

This is equivalent to a two-way shield, meaning Gu Tinglan can only have the same five senses as an ordinary person.

However, having become ordinary, Gu Tinglan also experienced the joys of being an ordinary person.

Food is of paramount importance to the people, and the first thing that brings them joy is naturally delicious food.

No wonder Buddha said she was indulging in the seven emotions.

Lost in his love of food, Gu Tinglan forgot that he was a bodhisattva.

This is understandable, as Gu Tinglan had never tasted such delicious food in all her years in the mortal world.

When Lin Yi traveled around, he would pick any ingredients he saw, so he had a rich variety of seasonings, and he used an iron wok to cook.

People of this era had not yet invented iron pots, but Lin Yi could forge them with ease.

Forging an iron pot is also a piece of cake.

Compared to the food of this era, Lin Yi's dishes are a game-changer.

Gu Tinglan ate her fill, and Lin Yi even made her dessert: milk tea with fruit pieces and ice, which made her fully experience what happiness is.

At this moment, Gu Tinglan was no longer thinking about Lingshan.

I am so happy here that I don't even think about Mount Ling.

After making arrangements for Gu Tinglan, Lin Yi was finally able to start dealing with Wu Yun's matter.

With Wu Yun captured by Zhang Jiao, Lin Yi dared not make any rash moves and could only proceed cautiously.

After much thought, Lin Yi came up with a brilliant idea.

He flew away from Star Sand City and quickly landed in the palace.

Upon seeing Lin Yi, Zhang Jiao immediately tensed up.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi's true form suddenly appeared. With Lin Yi's current strength, he could pose a threat to her.

However, Lin Yi didn't seem to notice her. He just casually stroked her head a couple of times, like he would pet a cat, before going to find Yan Qingqiu.

Yan Qingqiu was also surprised.

She knew Lin Yi could escape, but she never expected him to come looking for her again after he was free.

Why are you here?

Yan Qingqiu was very surprised.

"Didn't you complain that I didn't accompany you? Well, here I am."

As he spoke, Lin Yi put his arm around Yan Qingqiu.

Only then could Yan Qingqiu confirm that Lin Yi had indeed arrived in person.

He never used his clones to get close to his wives; the paper clones were just a way to send messages and communicate.

The one who started the physical altercations was definitely Lin Yi himself.

Before long, sounds that made one blush and their heart race could be heard coming from the room.

The fox spirit truly lives up to her name; she is indeed the most skilled at arousing men's desires.

Lin Yi, having tasted the sweetness of Yan Qingqiu, had actually been thinking about her for quite some time after his last encounter with her. However, he had important matters to attend to and could not linger in the arms of a woman.

But now that he can indulge in pleasures while doing business, he naturally no longer holds back.

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Jiao outside silently ran away.

Listening to too much of this kind of decadent music will affect one's Daoist heart.

She ran back to Xiao Se's side. According to the cat's design, the place where Wu Yun liked to stay the most was near Xiao Se.

Xiao Se also stopped his meditation and stared blankly in the direction of the Empress's palace, his mind elsewhere.

It seems that his cultivation has improved considerably, and his perception has become much sharper.

This child is really pitiful.

Zhang Jiao sighed silently. If you're going in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the further you'll go down the wrong path.

As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Lin Yi is the key to all the causes and effects. If she doesn't try to find a solution by focusing on Lin Yi, she won't be able to break the curse.

Xiao Se, in order to prevent the curse from harming Lin Yi, kept her distance from him, unaware that by staying away from Lin Yi, she would never find the answer to the Six-Tailed Cat Clan.

Zhang Jiao knew all this, but she didn't say why.

Her karmic ties with the Six-Tailed Cat Clan have been resolved, but revealing heavenly secrets will have consequences.

She can handle it, but there's no need for her to.

"You knew that, but you didn't say it, did you?"

Sensing the kitten's anger, Zhang Jiao spoke to the imprisoned Wuyun.

The dark cloud immediately stopped struggling, and felt a pang of regret.

She was planning to tell Lin Yi about the curse, but ended up running between the underworld and the mortal realm, and even became the Central Ghost Emperor.

Upon returning to the mortal realm, Lin Yi was with Xiao Se again, leaving her no chance to speak. And afterwards, every time she couldn't find an opportunity to be alone with Lin Yi, he would seek seclusion to cultivate, and then go off to fight the immortals…

In short, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, she did not tell Lin Yi the truth.

"You don't need to be upset. Many things you didn't say or do may simply be part of fate's plan."

Therefore, in this life, instead of suffering over what has already happened, it's better to strive for the tomorrow that hasn't arrived.
