Chapter 1470 - 545: A Leaf, a Bodhi
Zhou Lingyi stood under the red umbrella, her eyes devoid of sorrow or joy, showing no trace of pity or ridicule,
She looked at those spirits as if she were looking at flowers and rocks, inanimate and indifferent.
She said to Zhou Xuan, "Brother, I was curious earlier why so many ghosts could gather here, but now that I know where they came from, I understand,
these spirits are people from the Buddha Country who, after dying, could not receive the will of Soul Shepherd City, so they could only linger here year-round, clustering together."
Speaking of the Zhou Family’s Troupe, they have long dealt with ghosts, and Zhou Lingyi also inherited the Nuoshen Family’s legacy.
She naturally knows a lot about ghostly matters.
Zhou Xuan asked again,
"Sister, why don’t these spirits leave?
Even if they are not summoned by the will, they still have a survival instinct and would find potential hosts along the way."
Before Zhou Xuan came to Jing Country, he had been a ghost, and he even attempted to possess passersby twice.
Of course, both possession attempts ended in failure.
In terms of understanding ghost behavior, Zhou Xuan is quite authoritative.
Zhou Lingyi then said, "As long as they are human, they have obsessions. The stronger the obsession, the more unwilling the soul is to leave.
The gathering of so many ghosts here indicates their obsession..."
"They have a shared obsession, which is why they cluster here."
Zhou Xuan picked up the conversation and then said to Zhou Lingyi, "Sister, now I get it."
"What do you understand?" Zhou Lingyi is always surprised by her brother’s insight,
because even in casual conversation, he can infer much from little, making her feel a bit dull in comparison.
Zhou Xuan said, "Let me verify something with Little Brain first—Little Brain, come out."
Little Brain drilled out of Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm again,
but this time he seemed uneasy, looking back repeatedly as if he was checking on something.
"What are you up to? Why so uneasy?"
Zhou Xuan asked.
Little Brain said, "Master, you wouldn’t know, the Secret Realm is bustling now."
"Aren’t they just dividing up Wan Xiang Tongzi? Haven’t finished eating yet? Are you guys this slow?"
Zhou Xuan asked.
"The situation has changed."
Little Brain chuckled and said, "You don’t know, those three radishes, they’re like flower slaves, they’ve planted Wan Xiang Tongzi, saying they want him to bloom and bear fruit,
so we can have fruits and nectar daily?"
"Radishes?"
Zhou Xuan was initially surprised, but once he understood that Little Brain meant Big Child and Erwa, he gave Little Brain a light thump on the head, admonishing, "I’ve told you, they’re ginseng, but you lower their status with one word,
what did I teach you? Don’t say things that affect unity."
After the scolding, Zhou Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "That Wan Xiang Tongzi only seeks death, but still couldn’t die, you guys and your spirits sure have a lot of tricks,
tsk tsk... even planting a person... makes me want to take a look."
"..." Little Brain.
Zhou Lingyi, who was beside him, lightly coughed to remind Zhou Xuan there were serious matters to attend to.
Zhou Xuan snapped back to reality and said to Little Brain, "Little Brain, let me ask you—do you have any records of nourishment for the Silver Bodhisattva Flower in your database?"
"No, if I had, I would’ve told you already."
Little Brain was still somewhat distracted, answering the question while his eyes kept darting to Zhou Xuan’s abdomen area—that’s where Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm was located.
Zhou Xuan gave Little Brain another thump on the head, saying, "Can’t you listen carefully to what I’m saying?"
"Really don’t have such information." Little Brain declared earnestly.
"Alright then, nothing more for you, go back."
Zhou Xuan didn’t want to spoil Little Brain’s excitement, so he waved him away.
Just as Little Brain was about to return to the Secret Realm, Zhou Xuan shouted, "Wait a minute."
"What’s the matter now, Master?"
"When you go back to the Secret Realm, film the whole planting process, I want to watch the fun too."
"Oh, don’t worry, Master, I’ll make sure the video is HD, high fidelity."
Little Brain replied a few words and quickly returned to Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm.
Once he was gone, Zhou Xuan said to Zhou Lingyi, "Sister, you heard too, right—Little Brain doesn’t even know the Silver Bodhisattva Flower is made using the blood and flesh of Buddha Country People,
which shows that this matter is a secret in the Buddha Country."
"And then?"
"Then, the Yanfutai Buddha Mother, bringing so many Buddha Country people to Jing Country, she surely isn’t promoting it like this—come with me, people of Buddha Country, use your flesh and blood to nurture the Bodhisattva Flower to conquer Jing Country."
Zhou Xuan was quite serious in the beginning, but imitating the "promotional language" at the end, he was quite enthusiastic, with a hint of juvenile flair, causing Zhou Lingyi to giggle.
She covered her mouth and nose with her left hand, chuckling, "Your brother sure speaks interestingly."
Yet, the next moment, Zhou Xuan’s expression changed, showing a bit of malice. He said to Zhou Lingyi, "So, I can reasonably suspect—these Buddha Country people were lured to Jing Country with promises and illusions offered by Yanfutai."
"What kind of promises and illusions?" Zhou Lingyi couldn’t help but ask.
"What else? Filling them with motivational talk—follow me to Jing Country, a land blooming year-round, flowing with milk and honey,
going to Jing Country, you’ll be reborn, becoming the first group of happy Buddha Country citizens."
