Chapter 133: The Mantra of Brahma's Rhyme!

  "Firstly, the melodious bird likes to eat insects. Prepare some delicious insects and it will come out tomorrow. It's hard to find the right insects, but you can replace them with others. However, there is one thing you must ensure: the insects you choose should be to the melodious bird's taste."

  The sky was already bright, Xiao Yun woke up early and communicated with Lele in her mind, while Ye Lan and Zhuo Zhu were still sleeping soundly by the tree trunk next to the bonfire.

  "An insect? That's easy to handle, but how am I supposed to catch it?" Lelai now seemed like a complete encyclopedia in Xiao Yun's eyes, as if he knew everything.

  Lelou said, "I'll teach you a mantra of the Brahman sound, and when you catch the Miao Yin bird, you can use this mantra to tame it and make it your pet."

  "Is it possible for me to catch the Miao Yin bird, a divine bird under the Buddha's seat, with my current strength?"

  Xiao Yun was somewhat worried, as it was said that the Miao Yin divine bird under the Buddha's seat was even more powerful than the Tian Na Luo, the music god of Buddhism. Could he, a beginner in music, control such a powerful divine bird?

  Lele heard this and rolled her eyes, "Looks like you don't understand the Miao Yin bird at all!"

  "It's just something I've heard of, but that's all myth!" Xiao Yun felt a bit embarrassed. Having heard some myths and legends on Earth, plus the few words he had picked up in this world, he really didn't know much about this legendary divine bird.

  Lè Lè said, "The Miao Yin divine bird is born in response to the harmony of the Tao, unique and unmatched, with only one under the heavens. The infinite Buddha ancestors have passed down a single vein of Buddhist music, and this Miao Yin divine bird has even more extraordinary splendor. This divine bird is extremely unusual, no matter how high its cultivation may be, its lifespan is only one thousand years. Whenever the Miao Yin bird's lifespan is about to end, it will enter a state of frenzied joy, pick up branches, pile them into a pyre, and sing amidst the flames until it reaches the Samadhi melody, then ignite the pyre with true Samadhi fire, transforming once again into a brand new Miao Yin bird egg, reborn through Nirvana."

  "Are you saying that the Miao Yin bird you saw last night is the divine bird Nirvana under the Buddha's seat?" asked Xiao Yun.

  Lele nodded, "But I don't know which reincarnation it is now. Your luck is really good, and you can actually meet here! The Miao Yin bird in the forest should have just been reborn not long ago. It is hunting for insects of fate in the forest, and it should be collecting the abilities on the insects of fate. With your current strength, capturing it shouldn't be difficult!"

  Xiao Yun's heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement, if he could really capture the Miao Yin bird as a pet, it would be a huge fortune, his luck was really that good? Could he have stumbled upon such great luck?

  "How did you know so much?" Xiao Yun asked Lele.

  "I've already told you, don't ask what you shouldn't! When the time comes for me to tell you, I will. Lele gave Xiao Yun a big white eye and changed the subject, "First, let me teach you the Mantra of the Buddha's Rhyme. Alas, I'm really suffering enough, how did I end up with such a weak and pitiful master? Just when I've recovered some of my energy, I have to fall asleep again. Whether or not we can catch the Miao Yin bird, I won't be able to help you much!"

  Xiao Yun hadn't even had time to retort when a beam of light floated out from Lele's palm, splitting into several strands that entered the Seven Sound Divine Image. The sound spirit flickered once, and then Xiao Yun felt an enormous amount of information suddenly appear in his mind. Scattered musical notes quickly assembled together, forming a mysterious melody that slowly took shape.

  A thread of information was integrated, and Xiao Yun felt a bit dizzy and swollen in his head. Obviously, Lele's curse song for himself would not be weak at all.

  When she woke up, Lele was gone and had turned back into a white paper, lightly floating above the Haoqi pool, no matter how Xiao Yun called out to her, there was no response.

  Lele gave him the score of "Mantra of Brahman", he has already understood it thoroughly, that feeling is like a sudden enlightenment, and does not need to spend too much effort to comprehend. This mantra doesn't know what level it is, but it seems that there is no great restriction on the realm of the practitioner, the higher the realm of the practitioner, the greater the power of the mantra.

  "Xiao Da Ge, can these insects lure out that thing?"

  Last night was busy all night, until noon, Ye Lan finally woke up from a beautiful dream, while Zhuo Zhu was still asleep. Seeing Xiao Yun fiddling with a pile of insects somewhere, Ye Lan felt curious and suspicious.

  Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at Ye Lan, smiling, "That thing likes to prey on fate insects, but you won't be willing to use fate insects as bait for that thing, will you?"

  "It smells so good, what kind of bug is this?"

  Ye Lan crouched beside Xiao Yun, on a large leaf, there was a pile of yellow, shiny, nauseating worms. It was unknown what Xiao Yun had added to it, but it smelled good, however, it looked extremely disgusting.

  Xiao Yun pinched a few small insects and brought them in front of Ye Lan, scaring her into shouting and falling onto the ground with a thud.

  "How annoying!" Ye Lan pouted loudly.

  Xiao Yun burst out laughing, "Don't underestimate this thing, this bug is a rare delicacy!"

  As she spoke, Xiao Yun actually put her finger, which had a bug on it, into her mouth and savored it carefully, closing her eyes in apparent ecstasy.

  Ye Lan saw it and couldn't help but feel a surge of nausea, covering her mouth as she dry-heaved several times. If she hadn't gotten up early without eating, she probably would have vomited already.

  For a long time, Ye Lan still felt somewhat unwell. Seeing Xiao Yun savoring the food with relish, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Gege, is it really that delicious?"

  "Just try it and you'll know," said Xiao Yun with a smile.

  Ye Lan's head shook like a rattle drum, dodging and retreating in all directions, not daring to open her mouth to eat. Looking at those plump insects, their bodies covered with a mysterious golden substance, anyone who saw them would feel nauseous.

  "You're too narrow-minded, as the saying goes, 'don't judge a person by their appearance', sometimes eyes can be deceiving. You only see that this thing looks ugly and disgusting, but if you don't try it yourself, how do you know it's not a delicious taste? In Buddhist terms, you are being superficial!" said Xiao Yun Dao.

  Ye Lan was stunned, her eyes fell on Xiao Yun's body, she felt that every word Xiao Yun said was so reasonable and thought-provoking.

  After hesitating for half a day, Ye Lan suppressed the nauseating feeling in her heart and stretched out her trembling hand to pick up a fat worm with her thumb.

  Xiao Yun saw this and had a big smile on his face. He squatted down beside them, using his eyes to urge Ye Lan on.

  Ye Lan steeled herself and directly threw the bug into her mouth, chomping down a few times with her eyes closed before trying to swallow. Suddenly, however, her expression of disgust transformed, and she opened her eyes to savor it carefully.

  "How was it? Delicious, right?" Xiao Yun said with a pleased smile.

  Ye Lan nodded, "Xiao Gege, what kind of insect is this? How can it be so delicious?"

  "Haha, I know this one, it's a bee pupa!"

  A large hand stretched out, and surprisingly, it directly grabbed a handful of insect eggs. Turning back to look, it was actually Zhuo Zhu. This guy didn't know when he woke up, saw Xiao Yun and Ye Lan eating something, and thought those bee larvae were food prepared by Xiao Yun for them. He often walked in the mountains, so naturally, he knew that bee larvae were a rare delicacy.

  This time, he directly grabbed half of it and took a big bite. Xiao Yun hadn't even reacted yet when Zhuo Zhu had already put the bee pupa into his mouth and started chewing loudly.

  "Ah, Zhang Ge, this is what Xiao Da Ge prepared to lure that thing in the forest tonight, how did you eat it all!" Ye Lan said urgently.

  "Huh?"

  The pillar was filled with bright yellow light, and he suddenly froze, as if he had gotten himself into some kind of trouble!

  Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Eat up, I'll make some more later. Since this bug can attract you guys, it will definitely be able to lure out that thing in the woods tonight."

  Zhu heard this and immediately put his mind at ease. He and Ye Lan quickly snatched up the bee pupae in a few moves. Seeing this, Xiao Yun's confidence soared. The emperor bee's pupae, combined with the royal jelly, were absolutely the finest delicacies in the world. He didn't believe that the Miao Yin bird wouldn't take the bait.

  ——

  In Xiao Yun's expectation, night fell quickly, and the old ghost forest started to echo with a sparse sound of insect calls again. The crescent moon climbed up the treetops, and three figures quietly slipped into the old ghost forest.

  "What should we do now, Big Brother Xiao?" Lin Zili asked in a low voice, looking at Xiao Yun.
