"I, Zhunti."
"My fellow brother and I have now established the Western Religion. Should I achieve supreme enlightenment and become truly awakened..."
Gu Zongchen was speaking, while Lu Bei watched on guard, not wanting to fall too deeply into the pit. The latter kept silent, shaking his head and pretending to understand, when in reality he wouldn't even recite hollow textbook phrases like '12345' that are meant to fool ghosts.
At the same time, the past Great Bright Buddha disappeared and fled.
The sound of Buddhist chants filled the air, the scent of Zen fleeting, as golden lotuses sprung from the earth, lifting Gu Zongchen and Lu Bei, symbolizing the brushing away of the dust, not to be tainted by the mortal world.
The little monk could indeed remain untainted by the mortal world, but the one beside him who was just making up numbers...
One could say, setting aside the facts, he did alright.
