Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

In a public square, the television screen wall was broadcasting a live report from CCTV's "Xinwen Lianbo" news program: "... this is reporter Wan Qingsi reporting from Tibet!"

After watching this news segment, people relaxing or passing through the square couldn't help but start discussing it.

"I've traveled all over the country and seen many 'mummified monks,' but they all looked like dried corpses. This one really looks like a living person!"

"Yeah, it really does look lifelike! If it wasn't being reported on CCTV's 'Xinwen Lianbo,' I would've thought it was another fake news story, like that South China tiger photo incident…"

"You're right! There's so much fake news for fame and profit these days, even CCTV can't be fully trusted. If it wasn't Wan Qingsi reporting this news, I might still be skeptical. But since it's Wan Qingsi, I totally believe it. She'd never be fooled by fake news…"

"Who is Wan Qingsi? Is she more credible than CCTV?"

"You don't know!? Wan Qingsi is the famous journalist known for interviewing big figures and covering key news. She's famous for her sharp, honest commentary. They say she's been summoned by government officials several times for her straightforward remarks and even threatened or bribed by those involved, but she never compromised. Instead, she exposed all of it, gaining great respect among the general public…"

"Well, I haven't watched her shows. I usually watch entertainment news."

"Kublai Khan's 'incorruptible body' has finally been revealed!"

"Hey buddy, did you know about Kublai Khan leaving an incorruptible body beforehand?"

"Of course! Kublai Khan is one of the most revered high monks in Tibetan esoteric Buddhism…"

"Even for a revered high monk, leaving an incorruptible body after passing is rare. Usually, it's sarira. Why are you so certain?"

"Don't you know? After a great battle with Chuan Ying, Kublai Khan returned to Tibet, and after a profound enlightenment, he shattered the void in the same manner as Guangchengzi. Since Guangchengzi could leave behind a body as strong as Vajra in the War God Temple, it's logical that Kublai Khan could leave an incorruptible body too! Ah, I wish I could go to Tibet to see this unparalleled figure who created the 'Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique'..."

"Chuan Ying? Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique?... What are you talking about, buddy?"

"Huh?! You don't know Huang Yi? Haven't watched 'Shattered Void'?... Well, then we don't have much to talk about! Bye..."

...

"Sakya has been quite prominent recently! First, the newly enthroned living Buddha displayed a 'miracle' in front of everyone, and now a lifelike incorruptible body has appeared..."

"..."

"Hey buddy, have you seen the footage of Sakya's living Buddha enthronement? It was spectacular! But who knows if that miracle is real..."

"..."

"...Apparently, there were hundreds of domestic and foreign media reporters present, but not a single one managed to capture the image of the living Buddha. They all described him as a handsome young man! Do you think there's something fishy going on..."

"...It seems we don't really connect. In that case, goodbye..."

...

Similar discussions echoed across the country after the news broadcast. Various media outlets and interested individuals from all over began to head to the Sakya Monastery in Tibet, eager to witness the glory of the "first flesh body in Buddhism."

The discovery of Kublai Khan's body not only caught the attention of the nation but also caused a sensation within the Sakya sect.

Of course, the most excited was the contemporary descendant of the same bloodline, the Great Vehicle Dharma King!

Already delighted to have returned to his homeland, seeing his ancestor, who had brought Sakya to its pinnacle, left him speechless and deeply moved. His gratitude towards Eric reached its peak, as both his return and the manifestation of his ancestor's Buddha body were all thanks to this living Buddha!

Due to Kublai Khan's promotion of Buddhism and his efforts in spreading Tibetan esoteric Buddhism, after news of his "Buddha body" spread, major figures from various Buddhist sects and Tibetan Buddhist schools sent representatives to pay their respects.

The scale of this event was as grand as Eric's enthronement as a living Buddha!

Eric, as the highest leader of Sakya, couldn't neglect these important figures and had to set aside his intensive study of supernatural abilities, making time to entertain these guests.

Among the visiting monks, the thoughts of the Zhongtu Buddhist sect were relatively simple, but the various Tibetan esoteric sects were much more complicated! Seeing their hesitant expressions, Eric was puzzled. It was Xiarongbu Living Buddha who later spoke out and pointed out the problem!

"So you want me to return the Six Paths Supernatural Abilities to your Gelug sect?"

"Exactly!" Xiarongbu Living Buddha nodded.

"Although the Six Paths Supernatural Abilities are the result of my cultivation over several lifetimes, I lost a portion of my memory when I reincarnated for the fifth time due to negligence towards my soul.

Even with the power of the Fate Perception Supernatural Ability, I couldn't retrieve it. This left me with only the 'Five Paths Supernatural Abilities,' lacking the crucial Leak-Cessation Supernatural Ability needed to achieve Prajna wisdom.

Additionally, the copy I left in the sect also encountered an accident, so I came personally to ask for your help!"

"No problem! I'll have someone bring you the cultivation method for the Six Paths Supernatural Abilities later!" Eric waved generously, then asked, "Are Nyingma and Kagyu also staying at the Sakya Monastery because their sects' living Buddha supernatural abilities are missing?"

"Kagyu's Great Seal supernatural ability cultivation method is complete. They are staying not because of missing methods, but because those martial lunatics want to use this opportunity to compete with skilled monks from various regions!"

Xiarongbu Living Buddha smiled bitterly, then continued, "Nyingma's purpose is the same as mine! Their Ati Yoga and Mahayoga of the Inner Unsurpassable Vehicle from the Great Perfection teachings of their 'Complete Perfection Teaching' are also missing. They hope you can provide them with the complete 'Great Perfection Teaching'!"

"Sure! Help me find out which sects are missing supernatural abilities. As long as I have them here, I can make a copy for them!" Eric made it clear that he would leave a copy if he gave something away!

"Then, on behalf of them, thank you! Your actions will surely elevate Sakya's reputation to its peak!" Xiarongbu Living Buddha sighed with emotion, but he didn't care at all about Eric's decision to leave a copy.

Strangely enough, there isn't much exclusivity among Tibetan Buddhism sects. It can even be said that the boundaries are extremely vague. Almost every sect will pass on others' unique skills. For example, Kagyu's Great Seal technique has now become the common martial arts of Tibetan Buddhism...

After seeing off Xiarongbu Living Buddha, a Sakya priest came to consult, "Rinpoche, should we do something about Kublai Khan's incorruptible body?"

Eric asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by 'do something'?"

"Kublai Khan's incorruptible body is receiving worship from believers in the main hall. Although guarded by the Red Robe Guard and resistant to human damage, prolonged exposure to air and dust may not be appropriate..."

"Kublai Khan's incorruptible body is as hard as it gets, with a bit of a diamond-like toughness. How could it be damaged by air and dust?"

Though he thought so in his heart, Eric didn't say it out loud because he understood Kublai Khan's status in the hearts of the Tibetans. So he asked, "What do you suggest?"

"I think the incorruptible body should be enshrined in the inner hall, with clothes and crown representing it in the outer hall."

"No need for that!" Eric shook his head. "Instead, seal the incorruptible body in a vacuum glass box to protect it from air and dust! Let the believers have the opportunity to worship the saint..."

"Yes, Rinpoche!" The priest agreed, but instead of leaving immediately, he stood there hesitating.

Seeing the priest's hesitation, Eric frowned slightly. "Is there something else?"

Perceiving Eric's displeasure, the priest bowed hesitantly. "Rinpoche, there's a female journalist who wants to interview you..."

"I've said it before, I don't do interviews!"

"But, this female journalist is from CCTV..."

"CCTV is even worse!" Eric's displeasure was now obvious. "I've said it before, I don't want to expose myself to the public. Even during the last enthronement ceremony, I used spells to prevent all the imaging equipment from capturing my image clearly. Now you want me to go on CCTV?"

The priest in charge of Sakya's external affairs was quite knowledgeable about worldly matters. He spoke again, "Rinpoche, this journalist named 'Wan Qingsi' from CCTV is quite famous. She hasn't left the Sakya Monastery since the enthronement ceremony and has been insisting on interviewing you, with a very sincere attitude..."

With this reminder, Eric recalled a few occasions when a beautiful woman tried to approach him when he went out, but was always intercepted by the Red Robe Guards. She had introduced herself as "Wan Qingsi"!

Seeing Eric's expression change, the priest continued, "If Rinpoche doesn't want to show himself, how about conducting the interview behind a curtain..."

Eric found it amusing and looked at him sideways. "What benefits did you receive to advocate so hard for her?"

The external affairs priest blushed and hurriedly explained, "Rinpoche, I absolutely did not receive any benefits! I just thought the girl was very sincere, and also because several senior leaders in the province have pleaded for her..."

"Alright, no need to say more!" Eric waved uninterestedly. "I emphasize, no matter who the person is, no matter what their background, I will not accept the interview! You may leave..."

"Understood!"
