"I've long heard of the name of Granny Meng's soup. Can you give me a bowl?”
Fahai suddenly said.
When Sanqi heard this, he was stunned for a moment before shaking his head."You can't drink it! Master, once you drink the soup, you will forget the past. Master, you are a living person. If you drink it, I'm afraid it will hinder your cultivation!”
"It's fine. My cultivation has already reached the peak of the human world, and I have the golden body to protect my body. My Buddhist heart is forever firm.”
"Then why does Grandmaster want to drink Granny Meng's soup? Could it be that an eminent monk like you also has troubles?”
"Not really. However, I heard that there is suffering in the soup. My current cultivation is too high, so it is difficult for me to have any mortal feelings and experience the sufferings of the world. So, I want to try it."
Fahai pressed his palms together and said.
He didn't suggest drinking Granny Meng's soup on the spur of the moment.
The reason he left the mountain this time was to experience the mortal world, subdue demons, experience the suffering of all living beings, and achieve the fruit of Buddhism.
Since this Meng Po Soup was made from the bitter tears of all living beings, if he could taste it, it might help him to comprehend his state of mind.
It was rare for him to come to the netherworld. Fahai certainly did not want to miss this opportunity, so he made a request.
After hearing what he said, 37 roughly understood.
She didn't know anything about Buddhist cultivation. However, if it was just a bowl of soup, it wasn't a big deal.
After all, Fahai had helped her save Manjusaka, so it was only right to treat him to a bowl of soup.
Moreover, this should be the first person in history who took the initiative to drink the soup she cooked, right?
"Grandmaster, if you want to drink, I'll go get it for you. However, I'm too stupid. The soup I make is very bitter. Even the ghosts who have passed away are unwilling to drink it. Master, do you really want to try?"
She was a little uncertain.
Fahai smiled and nodded.
"Since it's the suffering of all living beings, it's naturally difficult to swallow. If he couldn't drink the pain of this world, how could he help the world and save the people?”
"Master is merciful."
Sanqi didn't understand and didn't think too much about it. He turned around and walked to the cauldron. He scooped a bowl of Granny Meng's soup and handed it to Fahai.
"It's really bitter. If it doesn't taste good, Master, please don't mind…"
"No worries."
Fahai nodded and looked at the bowl of turbid soup in his hand.
To be honest, the soup did not look good. It was bitter and hard to describe when one smelled it from afar.
But he did not despise it.
He picked up the spoon beside him and took a sip.
Bitterness entered his throat, like a knife cutting.
One drop of raw tear, two coins of old tears, three points of bitter tears, four cups of regret tears, five inches of lovesickness tears, six cups of sick tears, seven feet of parting tears…
The pain of all living beings was brewing within.
In an instant, Fahai seemed to see himself turning into a baby, born into this world, parting, regretting, suffering, yearning, lingering illness, and finally returning to the yellow soil.
In his short life, he had experienced many hardships.
Fahai savored the bitterness in his mouth and slowly put down the spoon. He put his palms together and was silent for a long time, deep in thought.
No. 37, who was beside him, saw that he did not speak for a long time. He thought that his memory had been wiped away by Meng Po's soup and could not help but become anxious.
"I told you not to drink it. If you drink the soup, you will forget the past and you won't be able to return to the human world.”
She was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a crystal teardrop fell from Fahai's eyes.
He was a golden light soul body and did not have a physical body.
Where did the tears come from?
As for the teardrop, it fell to the ground and turned into a pearl. It was covered in golden light, like a Buddhist prayer bead or a relic. It shone brightly and emitted a gentle and merciful light.
In an instant, it enveloped the entire Meng Po Village.
The waves of the Yellow Spring were overturned, and he suddenly entered a meditative state, as if there were no waves in an ancient well.
In the underworld, Buddhist chants sounded.
Countless evil ghosts and spirits in the Yellow Spring became peaceful and serene when they heard the Buddhist singing. They knelt down and worshipped Meng Po Village!
"This…He drank my Meng Po Soup and comprehended the Dao?”
Sanqi, who was in the manor, was stunned by this scene.
Fahai was sitting cross-legged in mid-air. His golden body was shining brightly, and the golden beads formed by his tears flew up automatically and circled around him, as if a true Buddha had descended.
The Buddha shed tears, lamenting the suffering of the world!
Fahai's tears were not because of his own weakness and pain, but because he felt the pain of the world in the soup and felt pity.
He had an epiphany of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism.
The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drinking Granny Meng's soup and gaining enlightenment of the Truth of Bitterness. The system has automatically deduced and perfected it, reaching the Supreme Perfection Realm!”
The system notification rang out in his mind.
Fahai opened his eyes again.
The mana around his body surged, causing his True Spirit Body to become much more solid, as if a body of flesh and blood had been born.
If one didn't look closely, one wouldn't be able to tell that he was currently in a soul state!
The Four Noble Truths wasn't an ordinary technique. It focused on cultivating one's mind and true spirit.
Fahai comprehended the pain of the world and comprehended this technique. Under the system's deduction, he reached the peak of perfection, which was why his soul and truesoul were greatly strengthened.
Now, he could already reach the realm of undying gods.
Even if his body was destroyed by a higher-being, he could use this soul to reincarnate!
"I didn't expect that this Granny Meng's Soup would allow me to comprehend the Four Noble Truths. This trip to the Yellow Springs was worth it.”
Fahai nodded slightly, and the Buddhist light on his body gradually faded.
No. 37 heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he had recovered. He quickly went forward and said,"Master, what did you see just now? Why did you make such a big commotion?”
"I just gained some insights. I have to thank you for the soup. The soup is very good.”
Fahai smiled and turned around. He thought for a moment and handed over the golden teardrop in his hand.
"You were born with the essence of your soul, but you lost it. This is a calamity in your life. Today, I have an epiphany because of your soup. It can also be considered fate and karma." This Buddha's Tear is for you. It contains my magic power. Wear it on your body and it can help you see your true nature and enlighten your wisdom. When disaster comes, it can also help you overcome it.”
"Thank you, Master!"
37 took the gold bead and placed it in his palm, overjoyed.
This was the Tear of Mercy of the Buddha, and its value was immeasurable. With this item, her cultivation would increase greatly.
Fahai's gift to her was not light.
"I didn't expect that my soup would actually be able to help Grandmaster. In the future, I must work harder and strive to make the real Granny Meng's soup as soon as possible. When the time comes, Grandmaster must come and try it.”
37 said with a smile.
Fahai sighed in his heart when he heard this.
The real Granny Meng soup still needed a portion of Granny Meng's sad tears.
"Love is the most bitter thing in the world. If you had a choice, I hope you would never taste it in your life…"
As he spoke, he shook his head.
"The time has come. This Penniless Monk will take his leave."
As he spoke, his body floated up and headed towards the Yellow Springs, intending to return to his mortal body.
However, at this moment, black clouds suddenly pressed down on the city in the distance.
Countless ghostly soldiers stepped on the river and blocked his path.
The leader was wearing the uniform of a ghost officer. He had a dignified expression and held the Yin Yang Soul Locking Chain in his hand. He carried a ghost knife at his waist as he strode over.
"Bold monk, how dare you trespass into the netherworld and harass Meng Po, causing the Yellow Springs to be in turmoil. This is a great crime! Ghost Officer Zhao Li was ordered by the Nether King to capture him. Why aren't you surrendering?”
