Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

The bull cart gradually moved along the necessary route towards its destination. Although there were no roads on the grassland, which was wide enough for free riding, it was filled with crowds dressed in festive attire. As far as the eye could see, it was like a wide river of colored cloth converging towards the distant hill.

Although the crowds along the way would automatically make way, Eric still felt that the cart's progress was quite slow. After an unknown period of time, the bull cart finally arrived at the small hill standing on the grassland.

Around the hill, 200 well-dressed and imposing Dharma protectors stood in a circle. They seemed particularly spirited today.

As people in festive attire approached these Dharma protectors, they all had to show the invitation letter issued by Sakya to be allowed to enter the area closely guarded by them.

Of course, Eric and the others in these four bull carts were not stopped and were allowed to enter the guarded area directly.

Arriving at the foot of the small hill, Eric noticed that it had been renovated by Sakya. At least the several hundred steps from the foot of the mountain to the top, all made of white jade, were clearly newly built!

Every few steps, there stood a Dharma protector. Unlike the lamas guarding the outer circle, these elite Dharma protectors standing on the steps were all figures with the strength above that of a lama.

Eric was familiar with some of them, as they had all followed the Great Vehicle Dharma King and had crossed paths with Eric several times.

Looking down from the steps, colored flags fluttered on the entire hill, with a long red flag flying on every high point. The edges of the flags were adorned with golden tassels, shining brightly in the sunlight. Under each group of flags on the hill stood a majestic Dharma protector.

Along the white jade steps, extending to both sides of the mountaintop, hung countless beautiful Hadas.

Moreover, the Buddha statues and sculptures brought from various temples were all decorated with beautiful gold foil, looking magnificent and dazzling.

The flags, Hadas, and golden statues added a majestic and magnificent scene to the entire hill.

Climbing up the steps to the mountaintop, Eric saw Eric Yun. Due to his current status, he could not go up to pay his respects and could only signal with his eyes.

Eric Yun naturally did not blame him. Since yesterday, he had not closed his mouth. Hearing his "grandson" calling him "grandfather", in his own words, that was "even if I die now, I have no regrets!"

The second thing that caught Eric's attention was the Xiarongbu Living Buddha, whom he had met three days ago. After feeling Eric's gaze, the Xiarongbu Living Buddha just nodded and did not greet him. It was unclear whether it was inconvenient to greet him or he did not know what to call him!

Apart from these two "elders," Eric also saw the Master LinShi Yongde and the abbot of the Linggu Temple, Master Jingran, whom he had met at the Medicine King Sect that day.

Beside them, there were eight or nine other venerable monks who seemed no less impressive than them, who should have been members of the "Seven Elders" and some other hidden venerable monks of the Buddha sect!

To Eric's surprise, he also saw Su Ying, the young master of the Medicine God Religion who had pestered him to study vampires when they met at the Medicine King Sect.

Su Ying today looked even more beautiful and charming. She wore a snow-white long dress, with overlapping and intricate layers of skirts fluttering like petals.

Two strands of gauze were wrapped around her right shoulder and left waist, making her look lively.

The two gold-threaded bracelets on her exposed white jade arms, coupled with a ruby necklace on her white powder neck, made her look noble and elegant, attracting attention.

Noticing Eric's gaze, Su Ying gave him a charming look and a charming smile. But Eric was not beguiled; instead, he frowned slightly.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Just as he sighed inwardly about how this troublesome woman appeared here, and people around him were greeting him one after another, three loud horns sounded, and all the people on the steps immediately quieted down, with no more noisy voices.

All the Dharma protectors standing on the steps took out a golden bull horn from behind them. These horns, under the slanting sunlight just rising above their heads, shimmered with golden light. The scene was so spectacular, like a golden chain encircling the entire hill.

In an instant, all the bull horns sounded, and the deafening horn sounded spread to every corner of the grassland.

With the sound of the horns, a square formation of nearly a thousand lamas emerged from under the hill. Clad in crimson robes with golden belts, even from afar, one could tell that they were the pride of Sakya, the only religious guard recognized by the emperor in Tibetan Buddhism—the "Red Robe Legion."

At this moment, all the horn sounds stopped, and the entire hill fell silent, with only the sound of the flags fluttering in the wind.

Suddenly, a Sakya emcee stepped forward and said loudly, "Dear believers, today we are here to celebrate two things! The first is the lineage of the Great Vehicle Dharma King, who has traveled overseas to exterminate the traitors of the sect!

Under his leadership, the lineage has fought alone overseas for nearly twenty years, finally eliminating the traitor Li Hong and his cult, washing away the shame of our Sakya... Let us cheer for them, for their courage and sacrifice..."

With the emcee's stirring words, thunderous cheers and loud horn blasts pierced the sky, followed by the rapid beating of buffalo-hide drums. The semicircular array of living Buddha lamas below the hill blew a low, solemn horn.

After the low horn sound, numerous bull horns sounded again, but this time in different scales, blowing in different rhythms. All the sounds blended into a unique melody—a victorious melody.

After the believers and monks vented their excitement, at the emcee's signal, the Great Vehicle Dharma King tearfully ascended the wooden platform built on the mountaintop and spoke many heartfelt words to the crowd below. Although everyone felt he was being verbose, they all understood the feelings of this "wanderer" who had been forced to leave his homeland for nearly twenty years!

After the Great Vehicle Dharma King's "speech," the emcee took the stage again, unable to contain his excitement, and loudly proclaimed, "Today, representatives of our 700,000 believers, representatives of our 141 Sakya temples, representatives of Tibetan Buddhism and Central Land Buddhism, are gathered here for one thing—our 'Buddha,' he has returned..."

Instantly, the sounds of the day surged on the grassland! There were shouts from the crowd, the loud calls of bull horns, the rhythm of war drums, and the deep tones of the long horns...

At the emcee's request, Eric slowly walked up to the wooden platform, without speaking, just gazing deeply at the crowd below.

Although they were far away, and there were many people on site, everyone below seemed to feel Eric's gaze. The sounds gradually ceased, the crowd quieted down, looked up, and wanted to hear the voice of their "Buddha."

Eric still did not speak, just raised a hand. Whether it was the believers below or the guests above, they did not know what the new "living Buddha" meant to express.

However, their puzzled gazes quickly turned to astonishment! Because they clearly saw that the hand raised by the "living Buddha" emitted white light.

The white light became brighter and brighter, gradually becoming dazzling. As if reaching a critical point, the white light emanating from Eric's hand suddenly shot outwards, filling the sky and the earth.

The entire celebration venue, even the entire grassland, seemed to be shrouded in this white light. Bathed in this soft light, people were shocked to find that their original illnesses and injuries were greatly relieved, and some were even completely healed!

Seeing the still radiant "Buddha" on the mountaintop, whether they were Sakya believers or not, at this moment, they all knelt down, showing respect to the "Buddha" who had shown them a "miracle!"

Seeing this ultimate magic learned from "The Book of Radiance," a super large-scale "healing spell" usually used on the battlefield, which required the cooperation of hundreds of priests, Eric nodded in satisfaction, withdrew his hand, and stepped down from the platform!

Ignoring the shocked, astonished, and reverent gazes of the many guests watching him, Eric woke up the emcee with a clap and instructed him to call the crowd.

With the efforts of the emcee, the crowd finally regained their senses and erupted into a more enthusiastic cheer than before, as if this was the only way to express their feelings. Discover exclusive tales on empire

At this point, a large crowd gathered below the mountain, packing the wide grassland tightly. They spontaneously formed circles and began their own activities.

Horse racing, wrestling, singing, and dancing...

These performances were originally the climax of the entire succession celebration, but under Eric's "great healing spell," they no longer seemed so appealing. Everyone was discussing the "living Buddha's" great magical powers and had no interest in watching the performances.

After this incident, everyone present would become staunch believers of Sakya, or rather, of Eric, and nothing could change their faith!
