Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1175 - 529: Stone Treasure Trench, Fengyang Academy_3

[To put it more colloquially, Vermilion is the flourishing state of the mortal dynasties, while Xinde is the realm established by the families and descendants of Buddhas and gods after their enlightenment and attaining the Dao.]

[There, closest to the Western Paradise, it is convenient for the descendants and relatives of these gods and Buddhas to attain enlightenment and liberation, and head over to Bliss Heaven in West Heaven...]

[The White Elephant Demon found the appearance of the Bodhisattva God Statue here quite surprising, but then it had an epiphany after remembering this place was an academy.]

[Its family’s Bodhisattva originally bore the Buddha title ’Great Wisdom Boundless Intention Bodhisattva’ reputed to be the first in oratory skills across the three realms, possessing vast prajna and great wisdom. Fengyang Academy was a place dedicated to the study of Scriptures and Buddha Dharma, so it made sense to venerate this Bodhisattva.]

[You glanced at the ’Supreme Sanctuary’ and upon seeing nothing of particular interest, you hurriedly withdrew from the great hall, tightly shut the door, and continued deeper into the academy with the White Elephant Demon.]

[The White Elephant Demon scratched its head and said, "Little junior brother, isn’t it quite rude of us not to pay our respects to our family’s Bodhisattva? If the Bodhisattva finds out, we’re definitely going to be blamed..."]

Lin Xunxin said, "If your family’s Bodhisattva finds us here, it would be more than just blame; She might flay us alive and pull out our tendons if She weren’t on Her period."

[You took the White Elephant Demon and briskly moved further inside, coming to the second building within the academy.]

[This appeared to be a lecture hall with teaching podiums, tables, chairs, ink, and other teaching tools, but the many chairs were empty. Only at the leading podium stood an old scripture master holding scriptures, dressed in a kasaya.]

[The old scripture master’s form was erratic and somewhat indistinct.]

[Upon closer inspection, you found that the old scripture master wasn’t a living person but a spirit!]

[In a corner of the lecture hall, there lay a decayed skeleton, clad in the same kasaya as the old scripture master, their body sizes roughly matching.]

[You instantly understood that the old scripture master must have died long ago and had somehow used a divine power to temporarily maintain his spirit here.]

[Judging by the coherence of the scripture master’s spirit, it was nowhere close to the level of ’Immortal,’ but it was like that of a cultivator who had left his body in an out-of-body experience.]

[When the old scripture master saw the two of you entering the lecture hall, his eyebrows furrowed in anger, and he bellowed, "Hey, you two wandering monks, why have you only just come to attend the lecture?!]

[Go stand at the corner as punishment! Stand there for an hour before you roll out!]

[Being bossed around and spat at by a mere mortal, the White Elephant Demon, who had never suffered such indignity, was on the verge of lashing out with a hammer to scatter the soul of the offender.]

Lin Xun squinted his eyes, aware that this was probably some scenario event.

[You stopped the White Elephant Demon and shook your head before saying to the old scripture master, "Venerable Teacher, it was wrong of us to be late, but we are actually the earliest to arrive.]

[Haven’t you noticed, Venerable Teacher, that none of the other monks have appeared even at this hour to attend the class?]

[The old scripture master blinks in surprise, looks around the empty lecture hall where not a single individual sat, except for the two of you standing at the entrance.]

[He sighed in a somewhat disheartened manner, then forced himself to perk up again and said, "You two... if you can answer its trivia challenge, it will waive the punishment and allow you both to attend the lecture.]

[Listen well, our academy venerates ’Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva’. Do you know what fruit rank this Bodhisattva first attained upon enlightenment? And what fruit rank has She attained now?]

Lin Xun snorted with disdain. Wasn’t this a giveaway question?

Though he was a fake disciple and didn’t know the precise details about the Bodhisattva, the White Elephant Demon, as the senior disciple of the Bodhisattva, certainly would.

[You turned towards the White Elephant Demon beside you, ready for the senior brother to answer, but saw the White Elephant Demon open its mouth slightly with a troubled expression.]

[A sense of foreboding struck your heart.]
