Chapter 398: Chapter 355: The Devotees Heading to Anjia, Separately (Seeking Monthly Votes!)
"Banana Milk Porridge!"
"Delicious banana milk porridge!"
Udoma, looking slightly mature with a shadow of a beard on his chin and a harmonious smile on his lips, was dressed in a red ceremonial robe.
He and several young ascetics were distributing the milk porridge at the entrance of the Temple!
A trace of ascetic power rippled through them.
Indra’s gaze fell, those flickers of gaze falling like the mottled shadows beneath the broad leaves of the banana tree, landing on Udoma.
’Whoosh!’
At that moment, Udoma seemed to have a premonition.
He blinked, revealing his pale eyes, and turned his ears to the sides, listening to his surroundings.
"Teacher!"
"What’s wrong?"
asked a nearby young ascetic.
Udoma slowly spoke, "I heard the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind, the sound of clouds roaming the earth, and the sound of raindrops falling."
Hearing this, the nearby disciples looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear, the scorching brilliance pouring down, empty without a single cloud.
"Teacher!"
"Are you sure you heard right? There are no clouds here!"
A disciple asked.
Udoma smiled faintly.
"Learn to cut through doubts with wisdom!"
"When your wisdom tells you the truth, then do not doubt yourself. This world, the other world, and happiness do not belong to those who doubt themselves!"
Udoma said.
"I need to enter the temple!"
Udoma was ready to move.
Hearing this, the nearby disciples showed expressions of surprise and concern.
"Teacher!"
"You have already promised the King of Anjia, to go to Anjia to teach Prince Luomobata!"
"You said that after distributing this round of milk porridge, we would leave. Why are we still delaying? Could it be that you are reluctant to leave?"
asked the disciple.
"!!!"
Hearing this, Indra’s gaze flickered.
Anjia, also known as ’Angja’.
In this land, Anjia too was a very powerful human realm.
It seemed that the King of Anjia, was preparing to invite Udoma over to teach the young prince Luomobata.
"Rest assured!"
Udoma said.
Hearing this, the disciples handed over the Blind Cane, and Udoma stepped carefully toward the Temple.
’Tat tat tat!’
The wooden cane gently tapped the ground, emitting a rhythmic tapping sound.
Udoma stepped up and walked into the grand Temple.
Inside the Temple, lamps were lit one after another, the bright candlelight burning, emitting a faint smoky air, wafting towards Udoma’s body.
He slowly walked towards the deepest part of the Temple, where the three statues were located.
The three statues were ancient in design.
They were respectively the statues of Indra, Sarameya, and Airavata.
These three statues, under the smoky lanterns, looked as if they were smeared with butter, emitting a shimmering radiance.
’Whoosh!’
Udoma pressed his hands together.
"Supreme Lord!"
"I am about to leave Kashy!"
"The King of the country of Anjia holds you in high regard and wants to offer sacrifices to you, which is why he invited me to be the prince’s teacher!"
"I also want to go and see, believing it will be an act of asceticism!"
Udoma pressed his hands together, murmuring to himself.
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hands, revealing a golden plate with a huge mango on it.
He raised the plate high, gently rotating it towards the statue of Indra as an offering.
Indra shook his head.
He smiled, spread his hands wide, and in his open palms, a large mango instantly appeared.
Following that, Udoma sequentially made offerings to Airavata and Sarameya.
As the offering to Sarameya was about to end.
Udoma suddenly leaned in, whispering softly.
"Mother of the Divine Dog!"
"I told the story as you gave it to me, where in your story Airavata was helpless and went to seek Sarameya."
"But it seems the temple of Airavata later manifested a spirit!"
"They changed the story!"
"It’s not my fault!"
Udoma whispered softly.
"So it is!"
"The story at the temple of Airavata, was it spread by Sarameya?"
Indra raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of realization.
What a cunning plan!
This story was clearly concocted with exaggerations from both sides!
At this time, Udoma also finally fell silent.
He pressed his hands together, slowly stepping back until he reached the temple doors before turning around.
’Whoosh!’
He stepped forward, grasping his cane, and carefully walked out of the Temple.
Indra stepped forward.
He and Shachi were like invisible presences, following behind Udoma and watching them pack everything up, ready to start on their journey.
On both sides of the road outside the Divine Temple, crowds gathered to praise and bid farewell to Udoma.
It was quite a lively scene!
"Don’t worry!"
"They are merely leaving Kashy City and heading to Anjia."
Shachi soothed.
Ascetics on this road were all protected by their penance; common wild beasts and Rakshasas couldn’t trouble them.
Of course, it would be a different story if they encountered an Asura!
"Let’s send them off!"
"Prosperity!"
As Indra spoke, he raised his right hand, and a bright red cloud, like a Mandara Flower, instantly floated out from behind him.
Whoosh!
The cloud of "Prosperity" drifted up and spun in the air.
The bright red cloud emitted a floral fragrance and likewise scattered beautiful flowers.
Rustle!
Countless flowers fell from the sky.
This scene instantly caught the attention of the bystanders.
They widened their eyes and opened their hands to catch the flowers falling from the sky, and couldn’t help but bring them to their noses to take a gentle whiff.
"Flowers! They are fresh flowers!"
"How fragrant!"
"A miracle, really so fragrant!"
Some exclaimed in surprise; some spun around; others bent down, scooping up handfuls of flowers to toss them into the air.
The area immediately became lively!
"Look!"
"Those footprints!"
"The Devas have descended!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise, pointing to where the petals were scattered.
Amid the countless petals, two golden footprints distinctly appeared in the sea of flowers, unobscured no matter how many flowers fell.
Whoosh!
Udoma slowly turned around.
In an instant, he felt the imposing figure of the Supreme Lord, Indra, appear in his mind, with another slender female figure beside him.
Whoo whoo whoo~
The sacred sound of the Conch Shell also spread out at this moment, echoing around the Divine Temple.
"Supreme Lord!"
"Praise the Supreme Lord!"
Udoma brought his hands together, shaking his head excitedly, bowing in profound worship.
"Praise the Supreme Lord!"
"Praise the Supreme Lord!"
...
His disciples and the people around followed suit.
Indra smiled slightly and slowly raised his right hand, his palm facing Udoma, gesturing for him to rise.
Rustle!
Flowers filled the sky, red light scattered, covering Udoma.
Udoma, as if bathed in Divine Light, shook his head and brought his hands together, excitedly standing up.
"Go forth!"
Indra said smilingly.
Having said that, he took Shachi’s hand and slowly faded away from Udoma’s mind.
Udoma looked excited.
So many years had passed!
He had finally seen the Supreme Lord again; who was that figure next to the Supreme Lord, could it be the Lady Master?
In his excitement, Udoma finally came to a realization.
It seemed he didn’t know the Lady Master’s name!
"Never mind!"
"The wife of the Supreme Lord, the Lady Master, is ’Indrani’. After reaching Anjia, I will also erect a statue for the Lady Master beside the Supreme Lord."
"Alright, that’s settled!"
Udoma thought to himself.
Indrani, also known as the wife of Indra.
Very simple and straightforward name!
Let’s proceed with this plan!
...
Inside the Divine Temple.
Indra’s gaze deepened as he watched Udoma.
His tall stature shimmered with golden light, standing like the sun before the Divine Temple, exceedingly dazzling.
"Supreme Lord!"
"This Kashy City is pretty good, but if he’s unwilling, we can send him to Anjia!"
Shachi said.
Indra turned his head towards Shachi.
"The faithful should have their own lives; I respect his choices!"
Indra said.
Having said that, he slowly turned his head and looked towards the statue of the Divine Dog Saromeya.
Next steps should be handled!
"Saromeya!"
