981 Reaching For The Star (1/2)
Ning Que and Sangsang became Buddhas, and to be more specifically, Buddhas of Heaven. All living beings must obey the Buddhas of Heaven. But Ning Que and Sangsang must take away the wills of all living beings if they wanted to completely control the chessboard world, which would take many years. Ning Que didn't want to wait anymore, so he reached out to hold the hilt.
Along with his dangerous movement, the world changed again. Countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the big ship and in the field sensed the unprecedented danger and announced their names in shrill voices, like a cuckoo crying for blood. They kept releasing their Breath of Buddha to Heaven and Earth desperately and giving off more flourishing Lights of Buddha.
The Light of Buddha became extremely bright, and there was even some light passing through the lush leaves of the Bodhi tree on the summit and falling on Sangsang, making her face paler and paler.
Countless rays of light shined on the dark sky and formed many Buddhism stories. The Buddha land of Buddha overlapped with the Buddha land of Ning Que and Sangsang, and it was difficult to distinguish one from another.
Ning Que took out the iron cutlass and slashed it toward the dark sky. With a light sound, the golden lights on the sky shook slightly, and the temples and the heavenly maids which were composed of the lights were all cut off.
After cutting off the golden lights, the cutlass fell on the dark sky and left a hundred meters long crack on the sky above the summit.
Even though a bucket was full of water, it was still difficult for the water inside to flow out quickly if it only had one cut. Normally, it needed two crossed cuts to make the water run out.
Ning Que lifted his cutlass and slashed again, leaving another clear crack on the dark sky which crossed with the previous crack, covering hundreds of miles of the field.
These two cracks looked like a word and also a wound.
Tens of thousands of Buddhas on the Bodhi tree all closed their eyes, put their palms together and kept chanting loudly, pouring the will of their faith and devoutness into the body of Ning Que.
Looking at the two crossed cracks in the sky and the word composed of the cracks, Ning Que laughed satisfactorily. After his battle with the Abbey Dean, a millennium must have passed by if he was counting the years he spent in the chessboard world. He finally wrote out the word again.
Looking at the word in the sky, Sangsang went silent for a few moments and said, ”The word is good.”
Ning Que thought for a while and replied, ”I can't write it without you.”
He didn't know how could he have written out the word, for it was a mysterious state that couldn't be explained by words. But the most fundamental reason was that Sangsang and he were one flesh now.
God came to earth, so he could write the character of ”people”, which was a divine inspiration.
The rain began to fall down, not from the clouds, but from the higher sky.
Clear water kept dripping down from the two crossed cracks, and formed hundreds of thousands of waterfalls which became rainstorms after falling on the field.
It rained for a whole year. A year later, infinite starlight fell from the two crossed cracks and then was mixed into the waterfalls on the sky, shining with cold and beautiful luster and looking like some kind of sticky fruit pulp.
The starlight kept falling for another whole year.
Ning Que and Sangsang looked at the two cracks. What he saw was a beautiful and wonderful scene, but what she saw was the rain and starry sky of the human world. She saw her own world.
During the past two years, countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas blew themselves up. While fighting against the rain and starry sky of the human world, the Lights of Buddha from Nirvana sometimes were dark, sometimes bright, but would eventually be annihilated.
The Buddha, who was hidden in all living beings, ordered the chessboard world to launch the most powerful attack against Ning Que and Sangsang. He was trying to stop their departure.
In the torrential rain, countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas floated in the air as high as thousands of zhang and surrounded the mountain peak. Numerous ritual implements shone with golden lights and approached the mountain peak. And the big ship was just one step away from the cliff.
In the torrential rain, Sangsang stood on the peak, and her black hair danced wildly in the wind and the flowers on her cyan dress gradually disappeared. She quietly looked at countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas around her and raised her right hand to the sky.
She had seen her own world, so she was able to communicate with the rules and regain the Power of Heaven.
Suddenly, the the torrential rain which fell from the crack in the sky became brighter, for a star in the remote sky of the other end of the crack was tens of thousands times brighter than the second before.
The stars of the World of Haotian were not burning stars, so they would not become brighter suddenly due to explosion. It indicated that the distance between the star and Sangsang was rapidly shortening.
A glaring spot appeared in the crack, passed through the crack easily, then travelled through the rain, approached the chessboard world, and came to the mountain peak.
A star fell into the hands of Sangsang.
Countless extremely bright lights, which were born from the hands of Sangsang, sprayed from the field to the mountain peak and made the rain evaporate easily. It was continuing to spread.
Ning Que took out his sunglasses and put it on.
The ritual implements containing the infinite Power of Buddha in the air outside the mountain peak melted and disappeared in a short time after encountering the lights emitted by the star.
Countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who floated in the rain sensed the terrifying the Power of Heaven and fled toward the outskirts of the field. But there were still thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas being purified by the lights of the star and turned into nothingness.
The starlights sprinkled from the peak, and the river shone with silver, which was extraordinarily tranquil. The big ship was just one step away from the cliff, but it could no longer move forward.
