The man is a monk in the inside, and he starts by giving his wife a crown.

His mind was completely immersed in the vast mysteries of the Kalachakra Tantra.

On the other side, three girls of similar age, Airi, Marina and Kaoru, were arranged to rest in the same room.

It was late at night, but after the previous shocks and misfortunes, no one wanted to sleep.

There was only a dim night light in the room, illuminating three young faces, each with their own thoughts.

Ai Li sat cross-legged on the tatami, looking the most energetic. She turned sideways, her sparkling eyes curiously gazing at the silent Xun beside her:

"Xun, how did you and Brother Xiuyuan meet?"

Xun curled up, hugged his knees with his hands, and shook his head slightly when he heard it, his voice a little low:

"I...I don't know how to say it. It was Master Xiuyuan who saved our family."

She thought of the horrible scene in the courtyard and shuddered involuntarily.

"Saved you?" Ellie's interest grew stronger. She puffed out her chest, with a look of unconcealable pride on her face.

"Let me tell you, I'm Brother Xiuyuan's apprentice! He personally taught me how to practice. It's amazing!"

She gestured a bit, as if wanting to demonstrate some advanced technique, but she didn't know where to start. In the end, she just nodded vigorously and emphasized:

"In short, it's very strong!"

Xun asked quietly:

"Disciple? Master Xiuyuan still accepts disciples?"

"Of course!" Ellie raised her chin slightly.

"But I'm the first one! Brother Xiuyuan said that I have extraordinary talent and am a rare genius in cultivation!"

She felt a little embarrassed when she said this, but the pride in her tone was genuine.

Looking at Ai Li's proud look, Xun showed a hint of envy in her eyes.

Being able to become the apprentice of that unfathomable master and learn that magical power... for her, it was simply out of reach.

She whispered, "That's great... I was just saved by the Master."

"Rescued?"

Ai Li and Marina said in unison, their curiosity completely aroused.

"Tell us quickly, what happened? Isn't your family very rich? Why do you need Brother Xiuyuan to save you?"

In their simple understanding, the Takayanagi family is a big chaebol, far away from the world of fighting and killing.

Xun hesitated for a moment, looking at the two people's sincere inquiring eyes, and finally plucked up the courage to briefly recount what happened in the evening in a tone as calm as possible.

She omitted the part about her virginity being taken away, and only focused on describing the horror of her stepfather turning into a demon, and how Master Xiuyuan, like a god descending to the earth, easily crushed and purified him, and finally crushed and burned the "brother" who activated the terrifying formation into ashes.

She spoke incoherently, her voice trembling unconsciously, but Ai Li and Marina were already stunned, their mouths slightly open, unable to close for a long time.

"Demon, demon?!"

"Crush it with one foot? Burn it to ashes?!"

The two girls were stunned by this cruel reality that was far beyond their imagination, and their eyes were full of sympathy and disbelief when they looked at Xun.

Only then did they understand that Xun's pale face and distraught state were due to the terrible thing he had experienced.

Ai Li was even more excited. She slapped her thigh hard:

"I knew it! Brother Xiuyuan is the most powerful! Those monsters and demons are nothing compared to him! His golden fist, with a bang, shatters everything!"

As she spoke, she waved her little fists, imitating the way she imagined Xiuyuan would take action. Although she didn't quite get it right, she was full of vigor, as if she were there in person.

Marina patted her chest with lingering fear:

"It's so scary... But Master Xiuyuan is really amazing..."

Xun looked at them, feeling mixed emotions.

Yes, that master was indeed as powerful as a god, but also... domineering and unreasonable.

But if not for this, the three of them, mother and daughter, would probably have turned into dry bones tonight.

She lowered her head and gently stroked her wrist, which seemed to still have the touch of being roughly grabbed. Ai Li quickly caught another detail in Xun's words.

"and many more,"

Ellie moved closer, her round eyes rolling curiously.

"What kind of nectar did Brother Xiuyuan give you later? What made you feel so comfortable? What was that thing?"

Marina also pricked up her ears, obviously equally interested in this topic.

Xun's cheeks instantly became hot, her eyes avoided, and her hands unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes.

She remembered her mother's unquestionable order at that time, and the feeling when she closed her eyes and swallowed that thing, and an indescribable sense of shame surged in her heart again.

"That's right, that's the Master..."

Xun's voice was as low as a mosquito's hum, and she hesitated for a long time before she could barely organize her words.

"He said it was the Buddha's blessing that allowed me to open my mouth, and then..."

She really couldn't continue speaking. What happened next was too embarrassing, especially in front of two girls of the same age.

She could only mumble:

"Anyway, after swallowing it, I felt much calmer and my body felt warm."

"Open your mouth? And then swallow it?"

Ai Li repeated it, still a little confused at first, but combined with Xun's red face that was almost dripping blood and extremely unnatural and awkward posture, a switch in her brain seemed to be touched.

The little girl's cheeks suddenly puffed up like an angry pufferfish, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

"what the hell!"

Ai Li's voice suddenly rose, with obvious dissatisfaction and grievance.

"Brother Xiuyuan is biased! Too biased!"

She crossed her legs angrily, folding her arms across her chest.

"I was also saved by Brother Xiuyuan! I was the first disciple he personally acknowledged! Why has he never given me any nectar? I also need Buddha's blessing! Why should it be given only to you?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling that her special status had been seriously challenged.

She was clearly the one who came first, and she was clearly a "one in a million cultivation genius", so why did this good thing get taken away by this girl who just arrived and looked so weak?

"Is it delicious? Is it sweet?"

Ai Li demanded, her tone sour, her eyes glaring at Xun, as if she wanted to see the taste of nectar from her face.

Xun was even more embarrassed by her question. She almost buried her head in her knees and shook her head repeatedly:

"No, it's not what you think. The taste, the taste is weird."

"Strange?" Ellie was even more dissatisfied.

"How can good things be strange? You must be lying to me! What Brother Xiuyuan gives must be the best! Humph, next time we meet, I must ask him why he is so partial to one and not to the other! I want nectar too!"

She clenched her fists, secretly made up her mind, and seemed to have begun to think about how to ask Xiu Yuan for the special treatment that belonged to the "eldest disciple".

Marina, who was standing next to her, looked at the sulking Airi, then at Xun, who was about to crawl into the ground, with a look of confusion and embarrassment on her face. She whispered:

"Aili, don't be like this. Xun just went through something so terrible."

"But that is the nectar given by Brother Xiuyuan!"

Ellie interrupted her, with good reason.

"I want it too!"

The room was suddenly filled with a strange atmosphere.

Chapter 68: Incense Refines the Golden Body! Not Mom, but Sister?

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight penetrated the thin clouds and slanted down onto the window lattice of the quiet room on the second floor of the villa.

Xiu Yuan sat cross-legged, and the aura around him was undergoing a qualitative change silently.

The Buddha's power and qi and blood that circulate in the body according to the Kalachakra Tantra are like a rushing river that breaks through the last dam and rushes into a wider area.

The meridians seemed to be widened and refined, the bones made a slight crackling sound, and the luster of the indestructible body became more condensed and restrained under the skin.

An unprecedented sense of roundness and transparency filled his limbs and bones, and his perception of the surrounding environment became unusually sharp.

The thin energy floating in the air, the flutter of birds outside the window, even the subtle movement of footsteps downstairs, all clearly reflected in the lake of my heart. A realm of quiet breakthrough.

At the moment of the breakthrough, Xiu Yuan's mind moved slightly, and he sensed several strands of strange energy, like invisible incense, converging from different directions and slowly merging into his body.

This is not a physical connection, but more like a spiritual connection, with pure telekinesis and emotion.

He followed one of the brightest threads, which was full of vitality and a little bit of urgency.

It was Ai Li. The little girl was probably thinking energetically about the "miracle" she had heard last night, or perhaps she was secretly cheering herself up for not being able to obtain the "nectar" and planning how to ask him, her master, for it.

Her beliefs are direct, passionate, and filled with childish admiration and possessiveness, pure enough to be endearing.

The other thread seemed much calmer, more stable and continuous.

Rinko Akiyama's trust is based on what she has witnessed firsthand and her judgment of the current situation.

There is also a sense of entrustment to the future, and he is regarded as a force that can be relied on.

Immediately afterwards, there was a mental power that was hot, dependent, and even mixed with a hint of strange aura.

Gaoliu Chengjiang.

The lady who was "saved" by him had the most complex beliefs. She was grateful for surviving the disaster, desired for power, submitted to him physically and mentally after being completely controlled, and had a touch of awe that came from her blood instinct.

This power is the strongest, carrying an almost fanatical piety.

What surprised Xiuyuan even more was that there was a thin but extremely strong belief coming from a place quite far away outside the villa.

Mizuki Shiranui, the female Taimanin!

Xiuyuan was neither happy nor disgusted by this, but simply accepted it calmly.

Faith is nothing more than the weak clinging to the strong, the embodiment of emotion. As a Tantric practitioner, Xiu Yuan was naturally familiar with the sudden and unearthly power of incense and vows.

The benefits are obvious, but the disadvantages are equally obvious.

If these thoughts, which are mixed with the seven emotions and six desires of mortals, are accepted without any precautions, over time, they will be like a frog boiled in warm water. Even if one has an indestructible body, it is difficult to prevent one's original mind from being distorted, and eventually one will become a puppet god that satisfies the desires of believers, rather than a transcendent and free practitioner.

Incense is poisonous, and I am not deceived.

However, Taoism has its own rules, and Buddhism has its own rules.

Whether it is the Taoist practice of refining an external incarnation or the Buddhist practice of condensing a golden body through incense and offerings, there are ways to deal with it.

In Xiuyuan’s mind, the relevant secret techniques recorded in the Kalachakra Tantra emerged clearly.

This method is far more sophisticated and powerful than the means used by ordinary temples to collect incense. It emphasizes using oneself as the foundation to condense a reward body Buddha statue with "Buddha outside and self inside" as a container to carry and filter the wishes of believers.

With his mind determined, Xiuyuan's consciousness moved slightly, guiding the strands of faith of different natures to converge within his sea of ​​consciousness.

They are no longer vague sensations, but have transformed into energy flows that flicker with various colors of light.

According to the tantric teachings, the practice of cultivating affinity begins with visualization.

It uses one's own essence, energy and spirit as its bones, the gathered power of incense and vows as its flesh and blood, and the profound runes of the Kalachakra Tantra as its meridians.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the prototype of an illusory Buddha statue slowly condensed.

It does not have the kind and benevolent appearance of the traditional Buddha, but rather displays the majestic appearance unique to Tantric Buddhism – three heads and six arms.

The central head has a solemn expression, just like Xiuyuan himself, revealing an indifference that seems to see through everything; the left head has a slightly angry expression, symbolizing the wrathful power that subdues all evil spirits; the right head contains compassion, as if pitying the stupidity and ignorance of all living beings.

The six arms each hold a Dharma instrument: the vajra represents the supreme power to destroy ignorance and afflictions, the vajra bell symbolizes the sound of wisdom that awakens the fallen, the skull vessel is filled with nectar, implying the transformation of all defilements into purity, the Dharma wheel symbolizes the endless flow of Buddhism, the jewel satisfies all good wishes, and the lotus represents the pure and untainted nature.

This illusory Buddha statue, constructed entirely by the power of incense and vows combined with one's own spiritual will and secret techniques, exudes a strange suction force as soon as it takes shape.

Those mixed beliefs and thoughts poured into it, and after being filtered and transformed through layers of magic tools and instruments, the negative or overly strong personal emotions such as fanaticism, fear, dependence, and prayers contained therein were stripped away and purified, leaving only the purest energy of belief to settle down, nourishing this reward body Buddha statue and making it more solid.

The pure energy after filtering is then fed back to Xiu Yuan himself, nourishing the realm he has just broken through, safely and efficiently.

Xiu Yuan felt the establishment of this perfect cycle, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly without being noticed.

The Buddha statue will bear the consequences, and I will take the benefits.
