179: Chapter 107: Viral Video, Lin Da Hungry Man Becomes Famous Overnight!_2 179: Chapter 107: Viral Video, Lin Da Hungry Man Becomes Famous Overnight!_2 Lin Baici browsed through hundreds of comments, several of which were from haters.

They said there was something amiss with the video and that listening to it too much might damage the brain.

Others claimed that the video took advantage of some psychological techniques, using the voice to guide and suggest to people, recommending others to report the video to prevent any societal harm.

Some people just cursed, saying that what was being chanted was complete nonsense, a sheer insult to the Buddhist scripture and the Dharma, suggesting that Buddhist followers should seek compensation.

Lin Baici laughed it off.

He wanted to find a reply from Huakaiqiandimile, but there were too many comments, so he opened his follower list instead.

As his first fan, it was natural for Lin Baici to follow Huakaiqiandimile too.

There were four updates.

“I stumbled upon a scripture chanting video recently.

Listening to it alleviates a thousand worries, and I couldn’t help wanting to share a drawing in a video, hoping it could bring some courage to those having a rough journey.”

“Looking forward to Lin Da Hungry Man’s second video.

What scripture will he chant?

The Diamond Sutra or the Surangama Sutra?

Super excited!”

“Frustrated!

Frustrated!

Frustrated!

Why is there still no second scripture chanting video after so long?”

“That’s true, how could he, who chanted the scripture so well, just be a normal person?

How could he have the leisure to keep posting videos?

Such a pity, we’ll probably never hear his chanting again.”

Huakaiqiandimile’s updates were posted every two or three days, with the last one from seven days ago.

It seemed she was greatly disappointed and hadn’t logged into Bilibili since.

Lin Baici actually didn’t have much desire to post another video, but the updates from Huakaiqiandimile made him change his mind and decide to post one more.

This was his first fan, who had left many comments, encouraged him, and given him ideas.

Deciding on his action, Lin Baici saw that Huakaiqiandimile had mentioned the Diamond Sutra, so he simply chose to chant this.

He found the scripture online, activated Guo Er Cheng Song, and began memorizing and practicing.

It was completely effortless!

With Divine Grace’s blessing, Lin Baici quickly memorized the entire scripture, and the rest was just about reciting it smoothly and fluently, making sure there were no mispronunciations or hesitations.

After an hour, Lin Baici felt he was ready.

He rubbed his cheeks, found a section of Nine States-style pure music for background, activated Mantra Buddha Resound, and started recording with his phone.

For what reason?

Because such a person is free from notions of self, others, beings, and life spans.

If one seeks the Tathagata through physical appearances or sounds, one is treading the wrong path and will never see the Tathagata.

All appearances are deceptive.

If one perceives all appearances as non-appearances, one will perceive the Tathagata.

Homage to the Buddha of Immeasurable Life!

…

Lin Baici stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the ceaseless traffic of the sleepless city, inhaling the scent of everyday life in the streets and alleys, with stars in his eyes and Buddha in his heart.

Fragment by fragment, the scriptures flowed from Lin Baici’s mouth, echoing in the room as if the very air were filled with the lingering fragrance of sandalwood, and the reverent footsteps of celestial Buddhas passing by.

On the same floor, next to Lin Baici’s room, Apartment 1208.

Gu Qingqiu lay on her bed, flipping through a volume of “Huainanzi: Collected Commentaries,” when suddenly, her delicate fingers paused on the pages, her attention caught by something she heard.

The Diamond Sutra?

Someone is chanting it with great flavor.

Could it be a master?

Gu Qingqiu sat up, tossing her long black hair over her shoulders, and adopted a lotus sitting position to listen intently.

Her red lips slightly parted as she began to chant along, word for word.

She had already memorized the Diamond Sutra by heart!

…

Next door, in Apartment 1206.

A girl with lightly dyed golden hair stepped out of the shower, wearing newly bought lingerie.

“Daddy, do you think I look pretty?”

The girl twirled twice, her ballet-trained body lifted a leg high above her head, showing off her exceptional flexibility.

“Shh!”

The middle-aged man frowned, tilting his ear, listening intently.

“Don’t talk!”

The girl spread her arms and lunged towards the middle-aged man.

“Stop it.”

The middle-aged man pushed hard, almost pushing the girl off the bed.

“What’s the matter?”

The girl was taken aback.

What’s going on?

Shouldn’t the next words after ‘don’t talk’ be kiss me?

Why did daddy refuse?

But soon, she lost interest in worrying about daddy’s odd behavior because the sound of chanting from next door was weirdly captivating!

The middle-aged man got off the bed and walked to the wall, pressing his ear against it.

The chanting was coming from the room across.

The girl mimicked him.

Time passed, the chanting ceased, and the middle-aged man and the girl remained in that position for another three to four minutes to make sure there was no more sound before they straightened up.

The middle-aged man smacked his lips, savoring the aftertaste.

He felt somewhat unfulfilled!

“Daddy, I…”

The girl had spent the day with the middle-aged man, bought lots of clothes, and logically, she should accompany him well today, but suddenly, she lost the mood for it.

Yet, she stopped speaking midway because she knew better.

“Hmm, you should go home today!”

The middle-aged man sat on the couch, poured himself a drink, and stared out the window, lost in thought.

Ordinarily, the middle-aged man would have been raring to make a night of it, but today he had lost all such urges, just like a sanctimonious monk with no worldly desires.

The girl didn’t leave, but sat on the bed, lost in her own thoughts.

About half an hour later, affected by the Mantra Buddha Resound, the middle-aged man’s mindset gradually returned to normal.

He stood up, picked up his wallet and phone, and left the room.

…

After finishing the recording, Lin Baici realized he had no editing tools, which was a bit tricky.

He would have to wait until he returned to school the next day to figure it out.

He took out the Meteorite that dropped after he killed the enemy of ten thousand, consumed it, enjoyed the sensation of fullness, and had just laid down when he was jolted awake by the doorbell.
